Working With Text (Sorting And Address File)
Apr 3, 2007
I have a list of about 300 addresses that I'd like to be able to put in a sortable state. In column A1-A4 is the following:
Name
Street Address
City, State Zip
Email Address
Then there is a blank row and then the next address. What I would like to do is figure out a way to take the info in columns A1-A4 and move them horizontally to A1, B1, C1, D1, respectively. Sure, I could cut and paste, but it would take me forever. I tried a macro,

I've been searching for HOURS on how to solve this, here it goes. My boss receives a report like the one shown. This report has over 1000 rows. She wants to be able to sort it by city but unfortunally, the address and the city are in different rows as well. It seems simple but I'm getting gray hairs over this! Help!!!

I am including an attached file for reference.
The file is sorted A-Z, but if you scroll down towards the bottom, you will see that some values are out of order. Both instances of University of Central Florida and University of North Dakota are out of place.
University of Central Florida should be between University of California and University of Colorado.
University of North Dakota should be between University of Colorado and University of Southern Mississippi.

I have a values in column C of stuff1, stuff2 and on down.
I have a value in cell A1.
I want to start in C1, and every Nth, where N is the value in cell A1, select and paste into column H.
My problem is that the selected cells don't start in C1, in fact, based on the value in A1, it starts in different cells in column C. AND, if i press the button twice, the returned values are different.

I recorded what I wanted but don't know how to generalise it so regardless of sheet name it can be sorted instead of specifically looking for "leanne final test" worksheet and sorting it by precise cells.
I have starred the section out so you don't have to focus on the rest of the code. Initally I ask for the file to be opened using WeeklyFN, would I need to use it again somehow ?

I have a code in file A that opens several files (B,C,D&E), copies some data from them, then closes the files. That part of the code works fine, but each of the files that are opened (B,C,D,&E) have a Workbook Open event that causes the file to save automatically every 30 seconds. (I know this is not recommended, but this is what the user wants.) The files also have a Workbook Before Close event that is supposed to stop the timer so the file will close without reopening. These each run fine on their own.But if I run code A, the workbook Before Close event in file B (C,D, & E) does not seem to run and the files reopen after 30 seconds to save. When I step through the code it works fine and goes through the Before Close event in each file and the files remain closed.

I have an existing spreadsheet with a column of strings (actually VIN numbers). These numbers correllate to a bunch of text files, that can exist in one of three folders (UsernameDesktop1, 2, or 3) on my desktop. What I need the macro to do is:
1) get the filename from A2 (A1 is a heading row)
2) Find the appropriate text file in one of the three folders
3) Put the folder name into I2
4) Scan the text file for some strings, and copy some data that follows those strings into J2:O2 (I can handle programming this)
5) Close the text file
6) repeat above for the remainder of filenames (about 1800 files)

I would like to be able to open a dialog box, have the user select the file of interest, and then paste the file address into a particular cell.
I have the macro started, I just don't know the correct language to get the file address. How to get that dialogue box to appear and select the file.
Code:
Sub PDF_SETUP()
If Range("Z40").Value = "" Then
Dim mypath As String
Dim myfile As String
mypath = ThisWorkbook.Path
'Display dialog box to get file address.

I've been trying to use combo boxes to open, then copy and paste information from specific worksheets the user requests. So far, my approach has been unsuccessful --and the suggestion to simply use the GetOpenFiles procedure was helpful but failed to address more than the "open files" part of my application. Can variables be part of an excel file address as I've tried to use them in the "strFile =" statement immediately below?
Public strFile As String
Public strSheet As String
Public strSheetName As String
strFile = "D:Documents and SettingsmccaralDesktopMP2 MONTHLY FINANCIALS_
15_FINANCIALS" _ & strSubtask + "-" + strSubelement + "2007" + strMonth + ".xls"
strSheet = "Task Order" & strSubtask & "-" & strSubelement
strSheetName = strSubtask & "-" & strSubelement
Workbooks.Open Filename:=strFile
Sheets(strSheet).Select Range("A1:P15").Select
Selection.Copy...................................

I'm really looking for a way to get the full address of the external file by specifying the file name in a cell and then evaluate the formula. For example,
[Code] .....
is the full address of the source file called 'Source'. My idea is: if I just type the file name 'Source' in a workbook's cell $A$1, and in cell $B$1 I want to make the formula something like:
="C:Users["&$A$1&".xlsx]Sheet1'!$F$1"
This will make my project very impressive with this feature: a user just types the file name to establish the link and evaluate the formula for results.

Got a slight problem; I am making a "worker-plan", where you should be able to write a name on one file and have it updated (removed) from the equivalent columns on another file automatically. Here's an example with two separate projects:
Project 1 before and after changes:
Attachment 257366
Attachment 257367
Project 2 before and after changes:
Attachment 257368
Attachment 257369
You can see here how I intended it to work. When one worker is moved from Project 1 to Project 2, that worker should also be removed from those weeks in Project 1. The previous worker from Project 2 should also be removed from those weeks (in Project 2).
Are there any formulas that can make this work automatically? All week numbers will belong to the same columns in all files.
Edit: There are 30 files that should be syncronized, not just two.. I could also gather all files into one file with sheets, instead of having seperate files.

How do I reset ALL the sorting in a file?
The first worksheet is all formula generated and has filters at the top, which I've variously sorted alphabetical. The second worksheet is raw data the user isn't intended to read.
Now I want to alter one of the formulas. The problem is, if I change it in row 2 and fill down I get all kinds of different information. This is because while the present formulas read
='other worksheet'!A265
='other worksheet'!A934
- and so on at random, when I resort them I just get A2, A3, and so on.

I have an excel file downloaded which has data as per serial number.The serial numbers are like 1,1.1,1.2,1.1.1,1.1.2,1.2.1 etc
I want to sort them in proper order. For eg. 1,1.1,1.1.1,1.1.2,1.2,1.2.1,1.3,1.4,1.4.1,1.4.2,1.5 etc
Normal sorting in excel does not work as the order is not proper.Can I have some kind of VBA script or way by which I can sort these numbers.

I am trying to open a workbook with
Workbook.Open filename:="xxxxx"
The address in the xxxx is something like this "G:AnimalMammalZZZZGorillayyyy.xls"
The ZZZZZ portion is the result of an InputBox.
What is the syntax for placing the result of that InputBox in the middle of the address?

im looking for a way to sort some data exported from an old stock recording software. the system outputs the data as a .csv file but each item bought is grouped into a particular heading, a line is only generated if money is spent under that particular heading. i cannot make the software generate lines if no money is spent so the number of lines generated each period changes.
period 1
3202 fuel £3000
3203 PPE £250
3204 major units £5000
3205 planned maint £212
3207 unplanned maint £457
period 2
3202 fuel £2500
3203 PPE £120
3204 major units £1000
3208 storage £212
3210 windows £457
if the data was regular i could simply add the totals each month and divide to get the average.
what i am looking for is a way to auto sort the data onto lines by possibly injecting the missing headings with zero as the total spent.

I have a group of CSV files that I will need to periodically import and sort in Excel.
The CSV files will contain one column I wish to use (It is the first one and the rest can be ignored or imported) and sort the desired data based upon the existance of a particular bit of text. Each entry will either be just a username or a username with a '-label' appended to it so for instance each of the CSV files might contain:
bob
fred
mark-label
ted
angie-label
Basically I want to seperate the names with the -label from the ones that do not have the -label. Doing searches, I was able to get part way using the code from this thread:
[url]
But am running into problems trying to modify it to suit my needs. Is there an easy way to accomplish this? I'm not very good with VB so that hasn't helped me. It would be nice to move the sourted output to seperate columns if that is possible.

the small code i'm writing just needs to do the following:
1. open an .xslx file selected by the user
2. copy 2 worksheets from that file to the current one
3. close the selected file without saving it.
This is my code:
VB:
Sub GetData()
MsgBox ("Please select a file"), vbOKOnly
Master = Application.GetOpenFilename(FileFilter:="Excel Files (*.xlsx), *.xlsx", Title:="Please select a file")
[Code]....
Opening the file works, but the last 3 lines don't because i don't understand how to declare "Master": however i dim it (workbook, object, variant...) i get an error on the GetOpenFilename line. If i don't declare it, i get an error while trying to copy the worksheets.

I have a formula that basically work, except is really complicated and slows the whole sheet down and then, for some reason, returns a circular referencing error or something. There must be a better way!
So the back story is that I have a spreadsheet that I'm using to track ~1200 employees, including salary, job title and, where I'm having trouble, reporting line.
Column [R] is the Line Manager (direct manager) and Column [S] is Department Head. Columns [T] - [Y] is "Manager", "Manager +1" (manager's manager), "Manager +2" (manager's manager's Manager), etc up to Manager +5.
'Line Manager' is input manually. 'Manager' = 'Line Manager'. Manager+1 to +5 just vlooks up off the same sheet. This part works fine and will update the whole reporting line if you change the manager.
Department head is where I'm having a problem! Essentially what I'm looking for is for the formula to look at the 5 cells to the right (the manager +# columns) and look for 'Mr Boss' and return one cell to the left since department heads report the the boss. There is one exception, its that some immediate reports of Lucy Lawful also are counted as Department Heads. For this purpose I vlooked up this list of exceptions on another sheet. My formula is this (entered as an array):
=IF(ISTEXT(T5),IF(OR(OFFSET(INDIRECT(ADDRESS(MAX((T5:Y5="Mr Boss")*ROW(T5:Y5)),MAX((T5:Y5="Mr Boss")*COLUMN(T5:Y5)),4)),0,-2,1)=Vlookups!H:H),OFFSET(INDIRECT(ADDRESS(MAX((T5:Y5="Mr Boss")*ROW(T5:Y5)),MAX((T5:Y5="Mr Boss")*COLUMN(T5:Y5)),4)),0,-2,1),OFFSET(INDIRECT(ADDRESS(MAX((T5:Y5="Mr Boss")*ROW(T5:Y5)),MAX((T5:Y5="Mr Boss")*COLUMN(T5:Y5)),4)),0,-1,1)),"")
Below is an example file. In my real file the formula works for everyone, not sure why its not working for half the employee now, but probably cos it's a useless formula.

Assume cell A1 contains a name and A2 contains the text "D7".
How would the code look like that
1. reads the contense in cell A2 (which is D7),
2. converts it (D7) to a cell address and finally
3. copies the content in cell A1 to the cell address found in A2 (in this case D7)
To illustrate I attached an Excel file.

The problem is that the (FACILITY) column has more than 200 different facility name. I am thinking of macro as I have different Spreadsheet I need to do the same steps in each one separately.
