VBA Paste Plain Text
Jan 19, 2007
I'm using Excel 2000.
I have a worksheet full of formulas that I can manually copy and paste into a new sheet, but when I try to do it using a macro, it fails.
My lines look like this:
shtTemp.Range("A1").PasteSpecial xlPasteAll
Which works fine, except that most of my source data are formulae. When I try to paste like this:
PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
I crash.
Is there a way in VBA to paste special? All I want is plain text, no formatting or wrapping...

Sometimes Excel just stops processing certain formulas on a worksheet and
considers the as plain text (regardless of the fact that the cell contents
starts with an equation sign "="). For example formula "=1+2" doesn't show
anymore as "3" but as "=1+2", as if it's only a string of text .But if I type
the same formula in the cell next to it, it shows the correct result "3".
Also, when I try to evaluate the formula, excel tells me that "the cell
currently being evaluated contains a constant" -- so its not about wether my
formulas are "visible" (tools-options-view-formulas) or not. The number of my
formulas asre always under the maximum 1024 characters.

I recently built an Excel macro that takes a manually generated accessible-text file made using Adobe Acrobat, parses it and processes the data in a number of ways. Rather than open the text file I would like instead to open the original PDF, save or export it in accessible-text format (not plain text) then process the data. I've been able to find some code that opens the pdf then saves it as plain text but then half the data is missing; thus, I need to save it as accessible text.
Here's the code I've found that works that I'm currently using (I realize it's probably JavaScript but it seems to get the job at least partly done
VB:
Sub test()
Dim AcroXApp As Object
Dim AcroXAVDoc As Object
Dim AcroXPDDoc As Object
[Code] .....
Perhaps there's an alternate format in which to save rather than "plain-text", but I just can't seem to find out what it is.

I have whole bunch of formula's added to cells by code. So far so good. How could I then set in macro code that the result is stored in cell as value rather than formula? Now when I go to cell you can see =PIBVSearch(.... yadda yadda yadda in the field above.
I would prefer to change it so that content of cell changes to it's value so there's no formula visible(and above all not stored to harddisk(LOTS of disk space lost. Whole project started to trim down 269Mb excel file into smaller piece! I don't want it to go back there too easily...) or in danger of getting updated which might take a very long time easily).
Code works so that as long as there's rows which haven't got update yet but do have product run code(or something like that. Not quite sure what that number is but I figure it's product run) after code reached that far(which it copied from another file). Then for each row it calls functions for each cell which are responsible for filling invidual cells.
So either way to replace content of whole row with values or invidual cells, I can insert both into loop easily though whole row after cells are calculated would be a) faster to add(just one place to add, not 30...) and likely faster to run(project is about getting the file to run faster afterall...).

Sorry cannot attach a screen shot as it is above the allowed limit.

I need to create a macro to do the following:
Search the activecell for a text string (a), and then either paste in text string (b) at the end of the cell if (a) is found, or text string (c) if (a) is not found.
For example, if the activecell has "AA/" in it, I want the cell to become "AA/01" (pasting in "01" at the end), and if the cell has just "AA" in it, I want it to still become "AA/01" (pasting "/01" at the end). The macro will be linked to a commandbutton.

I have recently found that when I copy ranges (usually containing formulas), I only have the option of copying these ranges as text ( or vales). I can no longer copy formulas , (or formats, col width etc) in my excel worksheets.
This problem has only recently occurred and applies whether i have one or many spreadsheets open.

Can I paste text inside a box on sheet 1 that automatically paste into a cell in sheet 2? I'm trying to make sheet one look more like a web page. I want to be able to create text boxes on sheet one that will automatically copy the text into a certain cell in sheet 2. Seems like I seen something a long time ago where you go to sheet2 and in the cell you want the text to show up, you type in something like =sheet1 box1 .

On sheet1 have multiple groups of cells with drop down lists all with the default word "None" selected. After the user has gone through and changed some of these menus to other values in the lists, i am looking to copy the text only in the cells that have been changed to certain locations on sheet2. See attached spreadsheet for a better idea. If any additional info is needed.

For some reason I only have the option of "keep text only (T)" in the paste options and cannot copy and paste formulas. Can you tell me how to change this and why this happened?

I have a pivot table that changes in size from day to day. The last row of the table starts in Column A with text "Grand Total". I need a formula that searches and identifies that text, then copies that row, and pastes the row to another sheet. note: the sheet the pivot table is on is titled Price Detail, the sheet I need to paste the row onto is titled sheet 2.

I have a workbook that users can make changes to a simple table and when they push a "Save" button the raw data in the back end is filtered and overwritten with their change. I only want them to change part of the raw data that has been filtered, starting in column G.
I have everything built and working up to selecting the filtered row column G where I want to paste. Their changed data is copied, the raw data filter's on a unique ID and then I'm stuck!
I have this code in there now however it's forgetting I want the visible entry not row 2:
FilterRange.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Offset(1, 7).Cells.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False

If a cell contains the formula =b1 and the result shows as zero;
Is there any way of getting the text "=b1" in a cell next to it instead of zero?

I am pasting query results from WinSQL into Excel and use 'Paste' and then, from the little Paste Options icon, 'Use Text Import Wizard'. I choose tab delimited and then reset the decimal separater using the 'Advanced' button on step 3. Since I do this daily I would like to create a macro to do it all for me, namely paste what I have already copied to the clipboard using the appropriate settings. Recording doesn't reflect the steps I executed. How can I call the text import wizard from vba with the clipboard contents as input as opposed to a text file?

We have a template sheet we use which has a sheet formatted as 'text' - it msu remain this way for another purpose.
We wish to copy information from other sheets/places and paste into the template sheet - but have it as text (with green triangle on it)
I have tried copy and pasting (the sheet is already formatted as text.
I have tried copy and paste special as values but to no avail.
(I have attached a small example which shows the template, data to past and end result of what I require - the redtab sheets are attempts to paste!
I know there is a really simple solution but I cannot for the life of me see it!!!!!!
Please help! Auto Merged Post;I kept searching and have found a way to do it on 1 column...
(Data/Text to columns....text)
- but how do you do it over a sheet that contains say 120 columns (i.e.: en masse)..???

I copied and pasted text (last names) from Website A into File A. Then did the same from Website B into File B. I wrote index match formulas to compare columns between files. I've done this literally hundreds of times, and it's always worked. This time, however, I get ZERO matches - even though there are lots of them. Troubleshooting was straight-forward: it has to be website B. (Strange thing is, I HAVE used text from website B before in similar applications with no problems.) Something in the way they present the data is preventing matches. (Everything works when I manually type over text from Website B.) It's not an upper case/lower case problem. I tried copy-pasting values only - to no avail.

I have a drop down list. When I choose something from the list, it creates a description (text) in the next cell. I need to be able to copy/paste the text from the cell, but it will only let me choose the formula instead.

I have a couple of small problems I hope someone can help me with. I have attached a test workbook. The ExtractSN macro searches column B for serial numbers and copies each one to its own row while copying all associated data to the individual rows to the TEMP sheet.
I need this macro to copy the 3 header rows from each source sheet to new destination sheets, then copy the numerical values as text to the respective sheet to preserve leading zeros and any letters. If the new sheets could be named the same as the source sheets and add _RPT to the end of the name, that would make things easier.

So ive got this macro that will find the text "SEP" in the active worksheet and paste it into the new worksheet. The Macro looks to see if a row contains "SEP" and copy that whole row and paste it into the new worksheet. I have over 5000 rows in column A that contains "SEP0014A9713685" and "SEP0014A981785C" So they are all different so its not just finding "SEP" So i need some type of Contains "SEP" for column A. This is the macro i have right now.
' Devices that contain SEP
Dim strArray As Variant
Dim wsSource As Worksheet
Dim wsDest As Worksheet
Dim NoRows As Long
Dim DestNoRows As Long
Dim I As Long

I have a problem in that in using the paste special on some links I created using HYPERLINK/VLOOKUP formulas the hyperlinks themselves have gone (ie nothing happens if you click on the data).
What I want is a macro that can turn a cell's contents into a hyperlink (i.e the location and friendly name are the same) by means of a simple keyboard stroke. I tried doing this using the macro recorder, but it didn't recognize when I was trying to paste the text into the Insert Hyperlink address bar and it just recalled the name of the address in the VBE window as if I'd written it in manually.

I've created a form and would like to use a macro to transfer the form information details (form) from an intermediate worksheet (database intermediate) to the main database worksheet (database).
So far I've only been able to record a simple macro that will do just that. However, when I click on my assigned macro again, the information is washed away and the new form details have replaced it. Been trying to use the x1down coding to make it such that each new data goes onto the subsequent line? But I can't seem to get it right without getting an error message.
I've attached the file to give you a better picture,

I have a cell that contains various data but in the cell there will be a string of characters that will begin with either ON or TN followed by numbers. What I would like to do is have the sheet look at that cell and if there's a TN12345 (or any combination of numbers) or an ON123456 (same idea as the TN) I would like the sheet to pull just the ON or TN number out and paste it in a specific cell. The ON would have it's own cell to be placed in as would the TN.
Here's an example. C5 contains various data, a mix of text and numbers but it will have either an ON or a TN or both. I would like the sheet to automatically pull the TN number out and place it in A5 and the ON in B5. I would like this process to repeat all the way through the sheet to the max amount of rows since I have no way of knowing how many rows I'll need. Can this be done with a simple IF formula or does it have to be done in VBA or is it not possible at all.

How do I paste text from a column into a diagonal line of cells (i.e. A1, B2, C3, etc.)? Additionally (and this may be related), how do I get the cursor to move to a diagonal cell after an entry? (as opposed to down or to the side)

I have a workbook that writes what I need to do. When done I need to type in another sheet the exact same text and the date I did it.
I wonder if its possible to add a checkbox and when this checkbox is pressed it will automatically copy/paste the text to the next free cell of the other sheet, so I only need to type date.
Here is the workbook: [URL] .....
Check box would be added in cell A17, A18, etc.
And the text would be copied to sheet Preventive Maintenance Records in the next available cell in column A.
