I was sure it would be in your archives but couldn't find it - apologies if this is a FAQ.
I am trying to extract the data in a spreadsheet to a bunch of files, one file per cell. The cells I need have very long text strings in them, actually whole HTML files.
Using this
Dim HTML As String
HTML = Cells(RowNdx, ColNdx).text
I can only read 1024 bytes - not nearly enough. Is there something else I can do to read the cell into a string variable?
how do i set the macro to read a range without limitation?
currently i have a recording macro that only reads to P126 - if i end there data in C127:N127 I would like the macro to recognized that there is new data and update to P127 with the new calculation....
i have tried to create a userform thru which data is to be entered. so that the data will be printed on a worksheet. here there are few text boxes, in which the number of digits should be equal to 14. after filling the userform when i click the print button if it is less than or more than 14 a pop up msgbox should be displayed with OK button and the cursor should go back to that particular text box. i have written the following code, but it has a problem. even if the total no of digits are 14 the msgbox is displayed.
say the text box name is Roll no
If txtRollNo.MaxLength 14 Then MsgBox "Roll No should be of 14 digits", vbInformation + vbOKOnly txtRollNo.SetFocus Exit Sub End If
I had a happy macro that copy and pasted sheets in an output folder for all excel files from a target file that included the desired changes. it worked fine. then i realized that when pasting a sheet, the text is limited to 250 characters, so an important portion of my sheet (some instructions in various cells) was not coming over. So i created the following which will copy the columns, but some of the row formatting is different and doesn't line up. my questions:
-is there a better way around this text limitation? -if not, is there a way to copy the row formats for this section and include in my macro? -is there a way to copy the cells (all or a range) themselves while using "ThisWorkbook", thereby including all the appropriate formating? it seems to not like to do that.

I need to get a code that will just read the text in a cell that contains text and numbers example abc123 I want it to only read the abc as the numbers can change and cant write them all into my macro all the time.
I need a statement to look at how many words are in a cell. If there is 4, to return "Stem" to another column, if it's the 5th word or higher then to return the last word in the string.
For Example
Column A.......................................................... .Column B SOME-TEXT-GOES-HERE....................................../...STEM SOME-TEXT-GOES-HERE-SOMEMORETEXT.............../...SOMEMORETEXT SOME-TEXT-GOES-HERE-SOMEMORETEXT-AGAIN...../...AGAIN
I have tried but failed miserably! I though of using a lookup statement but due to the number of variations it would be quite time consuming.
Excel 2007-2010. I'm using match(string, range,0) but there must be a limitation on the length of the string since I know the string is in the range but it returns #value as if it is not found. Is there a VBA solution to get around this without having to loop/cycle through the entire range?
I have a situation where I have to curve fit data, this can lead to different formulas being used with varying constants.
Is it possible to pickup a TEXT based formula and related constants from other cells, and then place this into another cell as a functioning formula. For Example
Cell A1 contains the formula as a text string whether it be y=a+bx+cx^2, or y=a+b/x, etc Cells A2:A6 contain the individual constants, a, b, c, etc
I would then want the VBA to read the text based formula and put it into an output cell as a functioning excel formulae.g
In cell B10: =a+b*A10+c*A10^2
I understand picking the constants up and putting the formula should not be too much of an issue, however trying to insert the variable form of the curve fit is the part that I am struggling with, and am unsure if possible.
What if you have text that are hyperlinked to a txt file and you want to read from it and copy it into excel. What can I do then. Here is what I have been working on so far:
Sub GoToHyperLink() Dim cell As Range Dim link As Hyperlink Dim Textline As String
I know how to pull an entire text file into an Excel Spreadsheet, but I only want specific information from the text file not the entire text file.
What I have is about 25 text files stored in a folder, let's say C: est.
Each file is named by a property address as follows: 209 MAIN ST.txt 213 MAIN ST.txt 111 ELM ST.txt 2356 WOOD AVE.txt
On the 11th row of each file is as follows: Property Address:209 MAIN ST On the 31st row of each file is as follows: Total Value:30500
What I would like to do is read each file located in the "C: est folder and write a record (row) into a single Excel Spreadsheet for each property. I would like the Excel Spreadsheet to look as follows once completed. Note the 1st row below is a header row that needs to be generated by the code.
Property AddressTotal Value 209 MAIN ST 30500 213 MAIN ST 60700 111 ELM ST 20400 2356 WOOD AVE 20900
Can I read a header list (in a spreadsheet, text file, or hard coded in the code) which I would prefer the spreadsheet or text file method, write the header row in A1 then B1. Next read the 25 text files and search based on the header info written above (Property Address & Total Value) and write the appropriate to the single spreadsheet. The 11th row of the First text file value written in cell A2, then read the 31st row of the First text file write the value in cell B2, then loop to the Second text file and values from The 11th row of the Second text file value written in cell A3, then read the 31st row of the Second text file write the value in cell B3, so on and so forth until the last text file is read and the last record is written.
I am trying to generate a sub that read the name of a check box (which is in text format) in a spreadsheet in this case sheet13 and according to that ask if that check box which is in another sheet (sheet4) is true or false, I mean if it checked or not, then perform other actions
But I am getting this following error Run time error ‘438’ Object doesn’t support this property or method
I tried several things but always get an error. Does some body know how to make the checkboxname variable a valid name for the checkbox object in sheet4?
I have written a VBA to read data from a text file (almost 5 MB = 2 lakh rows) and write into excel file. The script runs fine and transfers all data to the excel.But when i open the resulting excel file, only the first 2 and the last worksheets are visible. The worksheets in between and the data in it are missing. Second issue is tht, although i have written code to create a new worksheet when row number reaches 65535, the script writes only till row no. 32768.
I've a word form that collects free text and tick boxes. I'm reading these into separate rows on an excel sheets. So far what works...
I've got excel vba converting the word to a delimited text file I've got excel vba to remove the erroneous rtns that people have entered into the free text that was things up.
In the free text there are commas entered as well as the tick boxes and this is a csv. Example "how do I do this, I don't know",1,1,0,1,"really seems to be a challenge!"
If I just use excel to open the text file then the columns work out ok and on a single row - I think the 'text qualifier' is playing a role here.
But I can't replicate this in VBA. If I record a macro it's a query table and I don't know how to amend the code to read into rows.
The code below is for a Userform to allow data to be entered into a form and than placed into a worksheet. Also this code allows me to edit the existing data in the worksheet and than place the data back into the worksheet when down editing.
The problem is some of the data in my userform are numbers and the userform is reading it as text. When I enter numbers into the userform and than place it into the worksheet, how can I change the code so that the userforms to recongnize numbers not a text?
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize() With ActiveCell If .Value = vbNullString Then With .Parent Set myCells = .Cells(.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0) End With Else Set myCells = ActiveCell.EntireRow.Range("A1") End If Set myCells = myCells.Resize(1, 28) End With Call FromSheetToUserform Me.txtTYPE.SetFocus End Sub
Sub FromSheetToUserform() Dim myData As Variant
myData = Application.Transpose(Application.Transpose(myCells.Value)) If myData(1) = vbNullString Then myData(1) = Format(Date, "Medium Date")
I'm using the following code to read a text file that I downloaded from a mainframe file.
Do While Not EOF(FileNum) Line Input #FileNum, myLine Debug.Print myLine Loop
It reads and prints the first line, but then drops out of the loop. According to the help file, "Line Input" is looking for a carriage return (Chr(13)) or carriage return–linefeed (Chr(13) + Chr(10)) sequence. I have pasted a sample of the text file below. I'm not sure what the characters are at the beginning of each line, but perhaps I could find a way to replace each of them with a carriage return.
we have 2 text file one is masters and other one child. we want to read the city from child text and wants to read the country coresposding to the city from master file.
I want to read data from Notepad into Excel. I found this code on the net and have been trying to modify it for my needs:
Sub ImportText(FileName As String) Dim X As Long Dim FileNum As Long Dim TotalFile As String Dim Lines() As String Const DataRowStart As Long = 1 Const DataColStart As Long = 1 FileNum = FreeFile Open "C:...data.txt" For Binary As #FileNum.................
This pastes the contents of each line into 1 cell but I want to paste each value into a seperate cell. So in the attached data.txt there are 5 records each of 2 lines. For example in the 1st record I want to paste 05-693-1900 into 1 cell then 0040 in the cell to the right of that, Town A into another cell, 000000 into another cell....and so on. For the 2nd line it should be 000000000033 into one cell, AA28816 into the adjacent cell...and each remaining number into a seperate cell. I also want to leave 3 blank lines before going to the next record.data.txt
I have a comma delineated text file that is full of stock item details such as stock code, description, 3 different prices etc it is about 15 fields wide by about 400 rows down. I need to be able to import all rows but only certain columns into an excel worksheet using vba. I know I can easily just rename it to .xls or .csv or something like that but its a text file we export out of our system at work and we need to be able to give it to customers who then can import into this excel spreadsheet/calculator I am creating.
The file looks something like this:
"String 1", ""String 2", "String 3", "String 4", ...... all the way up to 15
There is 400 or so rows (which represent stock items)
Now I need to copy all rows in column 1 (string 1) all rows in column 12, 13, 14, 15 (This is the only data I need from the text file in this particular spreadsheet/calculator)
I have it working fine reading the entire row in one at a time splitting it up into a string array using the Split() function and then only copies the certain array indexes i need into the worksheet here is the code for this: ...
I have a Text-File with characters coded in simple chinese (gb2312) rsp. codepage 20936 and I want to read this file, paste the content in my worksheet. Later (after a chinese edited the text) I've to write this back to a text file.
The only way I found to make this, is by copy/paste e.g. from WordPad, but I want to automate it with VBA.
I'm trying to open a file on a network drive...but I'm getting the following error message when it opens: "This file may be read-only, or you may be trying to access a read-only location. Or the server the document is stored on may not be responding." Now, the file itself has no rights restrictions and is not read only. It doesn't appear to be locked.
Now, there are other Excel files in the same directory which I could open fine; however, the Excel documents having the above problem all have a little black icon "appears to be a padlock" (image attached) at the bottom left hand side of the Excel file icon. I tried the following:
- Renaming - Converting to a different file format (didn't work, it won't let me) - Opening in notepad...etc doesn't work.
This file is dated back in 2004...do you think it's corrupt? Is there anything i can do to open or recover this?
I am trying to determine a way to quickly import data from text files into Excel and place data in suitable columns (under correct headings). I am thinking I could be asked which file to read and import doing them 1 by 1, or if there is an automated way to cycle through all the files that would be more efficient (filenames are variable).
From the text files I have attached I can tell the column headers and what data should go under each. Not sure how you would describe the delimiting on these files? Are these files in a format that VBA could be used to reduce manual copy and paste approach? I have about 300 of these files I want to extract the data from.
Note: the attached files are from a public access website.
I'm attempting to create a formula that will find the name associated with a value, and return that name on the same column as that value in a later equation.
OK OK to illustrate it a little better:
There are three people: Bill, Ted, and Andy. Each one is ranked in Points, so my table looks like this:
A B
1 Bill 10 2 Ted 20 3 Andy 30
Later on, I want to rank the individuals based on their score, using a formula. Right now, I can rank the scores based using LARGE(B1:B3,1), then LARGE(B1:B3,2), and lastly LARGE(B1:B3,3). That ranks the numbers in descending columns. However, I want the information to automatically populate the name associated with that particular point total. So, I want the system to know that B1 is Bill's score, and rank it, in descending order, later on in the spreadsheet, with Bill's name.
I have a lot of data that I need to have organized out but as far as I can tell an IF statement is the only thing that could work. I work at a casino and there are about 6,000 games that I need to be able to sort through. The games are classified by sections A - Q. Each section contains anywhere from 30 - 50 banks, and each bank contains anywhere from 4 - 20 games. This is what I am trying to accomplish.
Have a drop down that lists zones A - Q. If the user chooses A, for the next column to populate with a drop down of all of the banks in A. Then for the user to choose the bank they want and then have the next colum populate a drop down with the games in A>bank1. So basically...
Zone>Bank>Machine
then once you choose the machine, for the columns to the right to auto populate the information on that game such as themes ect.
Zone>Bank>Machine>Information on that machine
I have another sheet that contains the inventory of all of the games that I am using as my "database". I am able to get this working great with IF statements, but I obviously need to be able to use more than 8. Here is my current code...
I have a spreadsheet with a drop down box with 30 names in it. On the other worksheets of this file I have budget figures.
What I need is a correct formula so that when I select a name from the drop down box it will grab the figure from a cell in another sheet and place it into the sheet where the drop down box is.
Is it possible to use a formula which grabs more than one cell?
I am trying to take information from columns J ("Family Size") and L ("Annual Income"), and figure out how many units should be assigned to columns N ("Very Low Income Units") and O ("Low Income Units").
Essentially, this is what I want to do:
If J2 = 1 and N< 22850, then N2 = F2 and O2 = 0. If J2 = 2 and N< 26100, then N2 = F2 and O2 = 0. If J2 = 3 and N< 29400, then N2 = F2 and O2 = 0.
And so on through "8."
I looked at the Nested IF Limitation suggestions on the FAQs . . . it didn't seem like CHOOSE or VLOOKUP would get me where I need to go. Unless VLOOKUP is somehow merged with IF. Does anyone know the easiest way to get this done?
