VBA - Left 8 Characters Copied So Can Paste Elsewhere?
Apr 29, 2014
I need VBA coding that starts in a cell, moves 5 columns to the left, and then copies the left 8 characters of the string. The Macro should end there, but I'm hoping to be able to then paste those 8 characters elsewhere, say a different programme or web page.
I can move the cell no problem:
ActiveCell.Offset(0, -5).Select
But how to then copy those left 8 characters so it stays in the clipboard at the end of the macro?
The formula needs to be non-cell specific, i.e. I need to use the above selection and NOT a cell name such as A5 etc.
I have a series of alpha numerics items in Cells A1:A999 (i.e AB0001 to AB0999). I need to be able to perform a search the range (A1:A999), and extract items that do not conform to the standard AB prefix. Example, an item of BC0001 could be present in the range. I would need to have that item, either highlighted or displayed in a different column.
I am looking to write a formula in an excell cell to veiw some of the wording in another cell. I know how to say that i want to see the first or last "x" characters in a cell.. But how do i say that i want to see all the info/wording in a cell except the last "x" characters..
I am attempting to utilize the Mid, Left, and Right functions to parse out data returned in a single cell. There are twelve months of data returned with the "title" listed after. I would like to be able to FIND the title and return a specific number of characters of data to the LEFT not the right (as Mid seems to do).
I'm trying to figure out why i'm getting this error: "Object variable or With block variable not set" for this
Sub Macro3() Dim cel As Range Dim str1 As String Dim SearchThing As Range Set SearchThing = ActiveSheet.Range("I34") str1 = Left(SearchThing.Value, Len(SearchThing) - 4) cel.Value = str1 End Sub
I want to take a lot of text fields with alphanumeric characters ie. " '49560-960-A908 " (always beginning with the character " ' ") and display in another cell position 2 thur 6 ie. "49560"
I have a file that contains 3,500 cells with alphanumeric characters...always beginning with ' but I need the 1st 5 numbers after the ' in a second separate column
I am using (in Column "B") the formula: =IF(A2=A3."",1), copied down as required, to uniquely identify entries in Column "A". In this instance "10", "10A", "10B" and "10C" located in "A5" through "A11" are viewed as the same. Is it possible to have the formula recognize the enties in "A5:A11" as a unique entry and therfore have "1" entered into cell "B11"? The suffix, if used will always be A thorugh Z.
I have copied a colorindex UDF from here and went to VBE, inserted a new module in my Personal project, pasted the UDF and expected to be able to use it in any excel file. It's not working though. I have used this particular UDF before, but on a prevous computer that is not around for me to look at.
My goal is to use =IF(colorindex(J2)=colorindex($K$1),J2,"").
I can do this in Excel, but I don't seem to have a single example to hand of how, using VBA, to extract all characters up to but not including, the first space character in a cell.
proposedenter is just a named range. I can see this is wrong but how do I base the count criteria on the left 7 characters of an item that is matched in the range?
I have formula that copies a range of cells and pastes to another worksheet (based on the click of a button on that row), however i need to adapt it to define which sheet to paste it to based on the contents of another cell on the same row. The below code all works for the first part of this, i added in Sub MN and Sub Month_to_Classify to resolve the second part. When i run this at the moment i get
Run-time error '1004': Method 'Range' of object'_Global' failed and the highlighted line of code is in Sub MN: Range(ActiveCell.Offset(0, -8)).Name = "Man"
I am trying to pull 4 cells (Q3:T3) from multiple workbooks into a master workbook. When I run the below macro, I only have the first column of the copied data returned, and can't figure out how to have it paste all four cells.
Sub ExtractData() Dim wb As Workbook Dim TheFile As String Dim MyPath As String Static CopyCell
I'm trying to perform a copy & paste operation by hand which to me should be easy in theory. I have a worksheet whose formulas have been corrupted. I have a backup of this sheet- I'd like to copy the backup sheet into the workbook. The problem is that the formulas, which reference other worksheets within the workbook, are copied over as links to the backup workbook instead of the new workbook they are being copied too. This seems simple, but how do I copy the worksheet and the references without having to go through all of the references by hand to only apply to the local book.
I'm trying to find a macro that will copy data from the areas of B120:E179 and I120:K179 for example (linked to another worksheet within the workbook) and special paste (Values Only and skipping blank cells) it to the next available open cell up top where basic data entry will be taking place B10:E29 and I10:K29. I need it to only copy/paste the rows with data (skipping all cells/rows with no data) and once it is finished coping I will need it to place an "X" in column M next to the row that it copied data from. I would also need it to reference the data in each row from B to E and if there is an entry say on B14 to E14 that matches it but if I10 to E29 are blank then paste that information on row 14. If it does not match or if those columns are full then paste on next available line.
I hope I'm making sense here. This is for a vehicle tracking log between checkpoints. Each driver and info will be listed on each row. Columns B through E will contain information for each driver: name, badge, #passengers, and vehicle #. The log lists location, time, and destination for outgoing travelers in columns F to H. Incoming info is listed on Columns I to K............
I've created a user form that has a list box populated with a fairly standardized format - a product ID or model number followed by a dash ( - ) then followed by a description. Based on the users selection of an item in the listbox, certain rows will be copied over from another tab in the excel file.
An error occurs when a Model Number list box item is selected but not when a product ID is selected.
The difference between the two are AlphaNumeric vs only numeric.
I am trying to create a macro to copy a set of datas in a row , paste into another workbook (specific sheet),then save it as one of the datas that was copied over.
Workbook1
Ticket# Description Name
12345 Test 1 David
32145 Test 2 Steve
Workbook2 - sheet (ABC)
Copy row 2 from Workbook1, paste to row 1 in Workbook2 sheet(ABC)12345 Test 1 David
Saveas Workbook2 - ABC - "12345" - Ticket #
Copy row 3 from Workbook1, paste to row 1 in Workbook2 sheet(ABC)
And so on. I will have a set of data to trasfer to Workbook2, each row different workbook.
Need function that will copy only a specific # of characters from another field? For example, say I want to copy the first 45 characters of "NOW IS THE TIME FOR ALL GOOD MEN TO COME TO THE AID OF THEIR COUNTRY". That means I only want to copy "NOW IS THE TIME FOR ALL GOOD MEN TO COME TO T". Is there an easy way to do this?
I am working on a database and trying to remove duplicates. When there are duplicates, I want to take the contents of one cell and copy them as a comment on the cell above (or below).
I tried to work on a small macro to do so, but the contents of the cell cannot be copied (it comes out as a blank).
The long way is to 'double click' in the cell, Ctrl+A, cut, click the cell above, Ctrl+F2, paste. This way is very long as I have thousands of duplicates.
I have a 2010 excel sheet containing 14 columns and 45082 rows in total. I am quite illiterate when it comes to writing macros but I know that what I need can be achieved with a set of codes.
To be more clear, I inserted two tables below. The first one represents the current data structure, and the second one is the way I want my data to look like.
Current data structure looks like Variable 1 Variable 2 Variable 3
I am having trouble filling a formulae series to the left on one spreadsheet, the fomulae being references to another sheet.
For example, I have two sheets 'Mtce Options' and 'Base Case'. In 'Mtce Options' I have the following formulae
A B C 1='Base Case'!A15='Base Case'!D15='Base Case'!G15
I want to fill to the left, incrementing the column references by a factor of 2 each time, eg. next two should be ='Base Case'!J15 and ='Base Case'!M15.
However, if I autofill to the left by highlighting A1, B1 and C1 or just B1 and C1 all I get is an inappropriate reference such as ='Base Case'!D15 or ='Base Case'!F15, respectively, in D15.
Is there an Excel formula to remove the spacebar + characters in red, as shown below? I need to be left with only the last name, first name and the semicolon.

Microsoft Outlook has changed the way that email addresses from the global addressbook copy and paste (from version 2003 to version 2010).
I have a column that is giving unwanted value . dont know the reason as that excel file has been created by some other guy and I just started working on it .
My Question is how to move to 2 cells left(A for example) from from that unwanted value column. and check if A is equal to cell above it , means B Cell(Row above A but same column).
As my excel file is totally based on Forms, Macros, I am not quite familiar with macros.
Is there any way to put if condition in one cell (column) and drag it all the way down which should work for all the values in these 3 column.
And also if A=B then I want to make that unwanted value cell="".
Just finished amending a piece of code to enable me to search for an agents name in a list of files. This is then copied to a new worksheet (named by the name entered in the search). What I need is to cut(or delete) the row from the original sheet (sheet 1 in this case) thus leaving me the remaining list of files. Below is how the code is setup at the moment....(just copies the row)
