I try to merge two sting (one from function). the output of the following sub should be "ttgood". but instead, i got "good" only.
Code:

s = sv & "good"
MsgBox s

I've succesfully managed to get the mail merge functioning from within Excel at the press of a button. I had a problem initially Word not shutting down properly but have solved this.
The problem I have now is that after the merge has finished and the spreadsheet is saved/closed and Excel is closed, the process tab in Task Manager says that Excel is still running. I found other instances on the net in other forums of people having a similar issue but alas no solutions. The full code for the procedure is below:
Private Sub cbMerge_Click()

I have a worksheet with 10000 plus entries in ten columns From K to T. I wish to have a macro with Concatenate function to merge certain Columns from these ten columns, in one column with help of input boxes which may ask inputs, about range (from and to ), and number of digits to concatenate in the required column. I use Excel 2003 XP in work but an example is 2007 attached.

Ordinarily I would use a Pivot Table and GetPivotData function, which can easily do this calculation, but in this case file I work with is shared, so Pivot Tables do not work. Unfortunately I am not skilled enough to type my own VBA function. New rows are added to the data source (sheet1) every day...
I have been using the CONCATENATE function to merge 2 strings together into a single cell. However the problem is, the third concatenated cell depends on the other 2 existing. The idea is I want to take 2 columns of data, and use a formula to merge them, then delete the original 2 data columns so I have a single column with the full data merged.
COL 1 (A3) = First Name
COL 2 (B3) = Last Name
COL 3 (C3) = Full Name (wanted)
So I do =CONCATENATE(A3,B3) and that puts the fullname in C3, but I want to sort of "flatten" C3 so that I have the fullname by itself and I can delete the original cells (A, and B)
On sheet 1 I have a list of 1000 firstnames
On sheet 2 I have a list of 1000 emails,
I need a function that states If a cell in the email column contains a string or value from the names column, it will result in a true statement so that I can separate out the emails that have these peoples first names.
i have a question regarding the right function. can you use a string within the function. i know that the function is written =right(A3,2). is it possible to write the function as =right(a3:z3,2). i keep geting an error with this function
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a Sum function in a cell on a spreadsheet and a bit of code which checks it using an If statement. If the Sum equals 1 (100%) it should do one thing, if not do another. However, if I put in the If statement that the Sum cell value should equal 1, it doesn't work. If I put it should equal "1", it does work. Why?
Example that works:
If Range("LocalBirthTypes").Value <> "1" Then
MsgBox "To use your own data the split between the birth types must total 100%", vbExclamation, "Maternity service planning tool"
Goto Exiting
End If

I'm trying to create a formula to return the number of cells where the last 8 characters of a cell end with the string "landline"
My (failed) attempt at creating this is as follows:
=COUNTIF RIGHT(A2:A322,8)="Landline"
I am trying to make a function to take 3 Cells and using the initial Cell(say A1 with value of 100) as the inital value of a sum. Take Cell two(say A2 with value of 10) and add the value of A1 to Value of A2 in a constant increase. In otherwords A1+A2*A3= next increase. A3 is the value I want to change. But I want to add these values together as many times as the value of A3. so with current numbers will be 100+110+120+130+140 with A3 being a value of 5.

I know I have to use FIND and MID but I can't work out the right syntax: how do I extract Michael or Dave from the following strings:
F - Michael 8735
M - Dave 093
Cell A1 contains 012345678 ** Customer of 987654321 **
Cell B2 contains 087654321
My formula =MID(A1,FIND("of",A1)+2,10) works perfect if it has a "customer of...". How to revise my formula that when it gets to cell B2 and if there is no "** Customer of ..." it would leave it blank or zero rather than #Value!?
The following concatenate function was working, then mysteriously stopped. When working it returned the data that I requested, now if I click on any concatenated cell and hit enter I get the function string, see below.
='Input DATA'!C2&" "&'Input DATA'!B2&" "&'Input DATA'!F2
InputData is my tab that is being referenced. All other functions/formulas are working as designed. The data in the referenced cells is still there and I changed from text to number to general, etc but I still get the same result.
I do not know if this is possible in VBA, but I am hoping it is as it will make my life much easier.
Is it possible to say have a TextBox and a CommandButton, that does the following?
Public Sub Execute()
Dim ObjectName As String
Dim Object As Object
ObjectName = txtObject.Text
Set Object = ObjectName

Or to take it a step further:
Public Sub Execute()
Dim ObjectName As String
Dim FunctionName As String
Dim Object As Object
ObjectName = txtObject.Text
FunctionName = txtFunction.Text
Set Object = ObjectName
Object.FunctionName

Are there any inbuilt functions that will create/reference an object based on a string containing the name of the object or function?
I have a series of codes, such as:
xxx-xxx-xx/xy-xxx
yy-yy-yy/yz
zzz-zz/za-zz/za-zzz
The /'s represent variations on the same code, so the first one is shorthand for:
xxx-xxx-xx-xxx
xxx-xxx-xy-xxx
I would like to be able to split the code into a new line (or lines) wherever a / occurs.
There are any number of dashes and slashes within the code, however, there are none at the beginning or end of the code.
The slashes will be always surronded by dashes eg xxx-xx/xy-xxx.

My knowledge of functions is pretty limited, or negligible to be honest. I require a function to extract numbers from each cell in a selected range.
Eg.
cells contain the following data:
cell 1: xxxxxx 45,59
cell 2: x xxxxx xx 6,45,27
cell 3: x xxxx 28
were x represents text
I need to loop through each cell and extract each of the numbers and list them in a separate range. If applied to the above range of cells the function would show the below in the ouput range. Each number in its own cell.

27
28

The following afterupdate procedure for my txtStart1 text box sends the value to the FormatTimeValue function that is coded in a module.
Private Sub txtStart1_AfterUpdate()
MsgBox Len(Trim(Me.txtStart1.vaue)) '<= outputs 1
Me.txtStart1.Value = FormatTimeValue(Trim(Me.txtStart1.Value))
End Sub
As you can see from the bolded text, the length of the value is 1 when outputted from the forms code.
However, when I pass it to the following function in a module it outputs 2 as the length.
Function FormatTimeValue(vTarget As Integer) As String
Dim TimeStr As String
If IsNumeric(vTarget) Then
MsgBox Len(vTarget) '<= outputs 2
Select Case Len(vTarget)
Case 1 ' e.g., user entered 1 so time should be 01:00
TimeStr = "0" & vTarget & ":00"
In the attached workbook i need to take out the % numbers from the text to populate the cells.

I am trying to put text form 3 cells into 1 string. I got the 1st 2 but the 3rd I only want to extra the first part of the cell up to the 1st comma. This is what i have so far:
[Code] ......
For example cell E81 would contain "abc, def, ghi" . I want to add to the string above only "abc" and not the entire cell content.
I'm trying to come up with a VBA function that would return cell values based on another cell value.
I can do this by comparing a range (column of cells) with the cell value to match and then return the value of the cell next to it.
For instance,
The function should search a column for partial text, as follows:
TS ID
PDT ID
TS 1.1
PDT 1
TS 1.2
PDT 2
TS 1.3
PDT 3
TS 2.1
PDT 4
TS 2.2
PDT 5
TS 3.1
PDT 6
TS 3.2
PDT 7
In the above table, the function should for partial text and return string as follows:
TS covered
PDTs
TS 1.1, TS 1.2, TS 1.3
PDT 1, PDT 2, PDT 3
TS 2.1, TS 2.2
PDT 4, PDT 5
TS 3.1, TS 3.2
PDT 6, PDT 7
So basically I am searching for partial text TS 1. and so on
I'm currently working on a spreadsheet (see attached) which will have both numeric and text string data. This will be sorted by calender month and linked to another spreadsheet.
Could someone please list 2 functions for me.
The 1st would allow act like a filter allowing only data to be counted for a selected month from a drop down list.
The 2nd allows a counting of pre-set (drop down list) text strings to be counted.
Sorry seems a bit complicated and really I should have either a created a pivot report or used access but I'd like to continue with Excel for this exercise.

I have a spreadsheet with 2 sheets. The first just links to another file and pulls in the contents of a particular sheet, cell for cell. The second sheet is a formatted report that I'm creating to put that data into a different format for presenting to others. I'm using the Index and Match function along with range names. All is fine except where the string that should be returned is very long. When that happens, I get "######" all the way across the cell. It doesn't matter how wide I make the column or how tall I make the row, the "#s" do not go away. Is there a limit on the number of characters the Index function can return?
