I have a problem, basically im writing in the cell but it keep going along, i want it so when i press enter it creates a new line in the cell, so i can have two lines of text in one cell. do i have to do something in the text settings?
View 2 RepliesProcess is that I read in lines from a text file and then based on a filter I then write some those values to a sheet. One of the values I transfer is always 5 characters with a trailing space. The first four may be all numbers (e.g. "0013 ") or a mix (e.g. "013G "). When I write these to the spreadsheet the ones without letters always end up as a number (e.g. "0013 " become 13). How do I force the cell to show all values as text in the cell just like I read it in. In fact, I'd prefer stripping out the trailing space but it's not critical. That I can do (TRIM).

If this letter S appears in the column, I need its entire row to change font color to RED and then change that row's value in column L to a negative number. is there any easy way to do this?

I'm trying to do something very simple, but I haven't had any luck searching for a function in excel that will let me do it.
Column A is a list of directories on a server, i.e. 01april, 02april, etc.
Column B is the path to those main directories, i.e. /raid0/data/documents/april/
Column C is where users can can type "1" if they want the directory or leave it blank if they do not want it selected.
Column D, if the corresponding row in column C=1, will show the complete source path/filename based on Column A and Column B.
Column E, if the corresponding row in column C=1, will show the complete destination path/filename based on Column A and Column B.
This is all working fine.
What I want to be able to do now though, is somehow, when someone sends the document back to me, create an FTP queue. I can do this with BulletProof FTP, because it allows really simple text queues.
So, what I need excel to do is, when someone has finished selecting their files, is write the results to a text file like exactly like this (without the Line1:, etc.):
Line1: <text from D2>
Line2: 0
Line3: 0
Line4: 0
Line5: ?
Line6: <text from E2>
(then repeated for each row in the excel document until column A is returning blank)
Seems simple enough.. Any ideas?
Also, an extra question--> is there any way I can make Excel list a directory structure automatically? Could it display the file size for the entire directory? I don't necessarily want it to list every file, just the directory paths and size of each directory.
Set FSO = New FileSystemObject
Set FSOFile = FSO.OpenTextFile(textfullname, 2, True)
FSOFile.Write ("xx")
FSOFile.Write ("02022012")
FSOFile.Writeline ("Next line")
I am getting this in the text file:- xx02022012Next line
I want this: xx02022012 Next line

I have a reference written as a string in cell "AS4", the string is results!A4
I want to write that same reference in cell "as5". I have written the following

However, cell "as5" returns the string as =results!'A4', with single quotes around A4
Therefore the reference isn't working.

View 4 Replies View RelatedUntil now, I have been using the terrifically inefficient way of writing in a formula in a cell and copy pasting the value in my VBA
Easy example (concatenating):
Sheets(Sheet2).Select
Range("D1").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = _
"=""Data collected on ""&TEXT(NOW(),""dd/mm/yyyy"")&"" at ""&TEXT(NOW(),""hh:mm"")"
Range("D1").Select
Selection.Copy
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _

Range("D2").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = _
"=IF(LEFT(RC[-3],13)=""No list found"",""Data requested for ""&update!R[2]C[-1]&""/""&update!R[2]C&""/""&update!R[2]C[1]& "" out of range"",""Data downloaded for ""&update!R[2]C[-1]&""/""&update!R[2]C&""/""&update!R[2]C[1]& """")"Range("D2").Select...............

How I can directly write info from an external application to an Excel sheet
Actually, I'm using a special dll collection to do it, but I would need to buy the 64 version soon. Problem is I use only one function of the entire collection so I want to look on how to create it my self. Basically, it took data from my charting software and write directly to my Excel Worksheet.Cell
I've created a User Form to input data on a dashboard where you can select a date from a dynamic list of dates. The list of dates is calculated using:
Code:

The other dates are based on this date -7.
The User Form code:
Code:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim emptyRow As Long
'Make Sheet30 Active

This works perfectly for any date except dates from December. 3/12/12 (3rd Dec) turns to 12/3/12 (12th Mar) when it's copied to the cell. The same happens for 10/12/12 - becomes 12th October instead of 10th December.

On one of our computers at work, Excel is acting especially strange. The conditional formatting in Excel on one of our computers is not working. In addition, we cannot fill a cell with any color or change the color of the writing. We can click a color for the letters and type it in, but immediately after another cell is highlighted, the writing goes black again. When we try to highlight multiple cells with the cursor, the cells are black instead of the normal color. This happens to not just spreadsheets that are new, but existing spreadsheets on our shared drive from only this one computer as well. No other computers are affected this way. All other computers show the spreadsheets fine and do not have any functionality issues.
Basically, what I'm dealing with is an inventory system. When a cell value reaches below a certain quantity, we have a cell light up with the word "YES" (under the "re-order" column). What I'd like to do is have a macro that checks to see if that cell is populated with "YES" and if it is, to run another macro (which I already have written) that sends out an email notifying us of the need to re-order.
How it would work: The person pulling out the inventory would fill out this form and click "Submit"
submitbutton.jpg
I would then have a "call" code tied to the "Submit" button that when clicked, would run the macro to check cell population and send out the email. The email code is already written and works flawlessly on it's own. I just cant seem to figure out how to write a macro that checks for cell value and then runs it (or not) based on that.
I have a table in which some of the ranges have to be set to "0" (write "0" inside, not delete) when I click on a button. All the other cells expect these ranges are locked. For now I use the very long way, with the following VBA Code:
Range("E7").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "0"
Selection.AutoFill Destination:=Range("E7:E21"), Type:=xlFillValues
[Code]....
There are more columns for which I have to do that, and it goes until row 500+ .. I used "Register Macro" to find out this code, that's why I guess it's obselete.
Is there any way I can do it, at least write all the ranges I have to fill with "0" next to each other instead of every time selecting, then inserting 0, then autofill the rang with...?

in writing a subroutine that needs to ask the user

3) tax withheld
It then needs to use a function that i already made called 'incometax' that calculates 'taxpayable' and use that to calculate taxreturn (difference between 'taxpayable' and 'taxwithheld').
I then need it to output like this in a message box

So far i have the following which works:
I run the macro on a currently open workbook (name could be anything) and open another workbook (name known) and step through the sheets copying various blocks of data across to the first workbook. I need to Activate the 2 workbooks alternatively as I move data back and forth and move from sheet to sheet. What I can't work out is how to determine in code what the "unknown" workbook name is so that I can make sure I activate the right workbook in the code.
I tried Activating the workbook with the "unknown" name and setting a variable = ActiveWorkbook.Name. However the value of this variable changes during the code run when you activate the other book. Is there any way to collect this value and "freeze" it so it won't change as the code runs? At the moment I have got round it by ensuring the "unknown" book is the only one open before I start and refer to it as Workbooks(1) in the code.
