Is it possible to add text to individual cells which can be written over?
e.g. I would like A1 to have the background text of "slot 1"... Once user has inserted text then "slot 1" is removed... and when the user text is removed, "slot 1" reappears.
I would like to be able to write an article with data extracted from an Excel workbook. An understandable example would be like the books for kids which are personalized.
For example, using this data:
Name Friend1 Friend2 Town State Pet1 Pet2
Karen John Harrold Portland Oregon Snippy Goldie
Luke Mike Mark Solon Maine Charlie Max
I would like to write to a text file, vba text box, something like:
One day, B2 went down to B3's house to play a game. B3's cousin, C3 was visiting from D3, D4.
Which would output:
One day, Karen went down to Harrold's house to play a game. Harrold's cousin, Mark was visiting from Solon, Maine.
The text can be simple, no font formatting.
The data is coming from different sheets in the same workbook.
The data includes text, dates, and numbers.

View 11 Replies View RelatedMy current project involves sorting a spreadsheet, selecting specific qualifying data from the sheet, storing it into a variable, the pasting the individual values from the list into individual cells on a different sheet within the same workbook. Here is the code I have so far...
Code:
Sub Test()

Application.ScreenUpdating = False
'' move to Avaliable worksheet

When this code runs the first item in the list pastes into Sheet10 A1, but no other values from the list are placed into Sheet10. Previous to this I had been using a variation of this code to push the list into a combobox list within a userform. In that case instead of
Code:
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet10").Range("A1") = x
I had
Code:
Combobox1.list = x
And this worked perfectly; creating a list within the combobox (in fact I can use this modification to interrogate my code to determine if the list is being properly generated, and it is).
I have a column that looks like the following and I need to add the numbers:

I want to be able to search an alphanumeric value "ABC12345" within a column that has a paragraph of text written in each row, I want to know which rows have this value written somewhere in them and have it return 2,4,33, as row 2 and 4 and 33 have this value in them inside column B on that row.
on column A i have the respective row numbers all the way down ie: ( 1,2,3,4, etc) (to pull up the row numbers)(unless you have a better way)
On Column B i have the paragraphs of text to search in (there is lots of text and spaces in the paragraphs.)
On column C i have the value to look for... ie: ABC12345 (different values in each row of column C) to be compared to all of column B
On column D would be the formula to Pull down and get the results.
and something tells me you might have a better way of getting the row numbers rather than having column A dedicated to numerating each row 1,2,3,etc

I wrote this code inside the excel spreadsheet itself. The code sits in BA1 to BA2000. I would then copy and paste this code to a VB module, then run it. As the data changes, the SchemeColor number changes. My question... is there a way to run write a macro in VB and have it use the code in cells BA1 to BA2000 so that I do not have to copy and paste it into the VB Module and run it? Manually running it is ok with me, but I do not want to copy and paste the code into VB each and every time.
Here is my code:

I want to get a vba which will convert an excel with different tabs to individual text files. IT MUST BE PIPE DELIMITED.
So if there is an .xls file with 5 different tabs, i should get 5 text files with each text file getting name of the worksheet it was created from.
I have a similar code but somehow it is doing the conversion only for last worksheet, also it is saving the file in the same name as workbook.
Code:
Sub save_as_text()
Dim i As Long, txt As String, delim As String
delim = "|"
With ActiveSheet.UsedRange
For i = 1 To .Rows.Count
txt = txt & vbCrLf & _
Join(Evaluate("transpose(transpose(" & .Rows(i).Address & "))"), delim)
Next
End With
Open Replace(ThisWorkbook.FullName, ".xls", ".txt") For Output As #1
Print #1, Mid$(txt, 2)
Close #1
End Sub

I also need this to be able to work with excel files that contain thousands of rows.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am running a loop that changes the value in one cell at a time. Since this is for our entire company, I am trying to make it "idiot-proof" like most of you have done.
While in the loop, I want to unprotect a cell, change the value, then reprotect the cell. But the rest of the worksheet is going to be unprotected for now. is that possible? Or do I have to protect the whole sheet, and then .Unprotect the whole sheet first and then. Protect it at the end of the macro.
What I need to do is hide the value in an individual cell, dependent on whether a value (any value) has been entered in another cell. I know this must be possible somewhere in conditional formatting but I can't seem to figure it out no matter how much I try!
The table below should hopefully explain exactly what I'm after. I want to hide the value in the balance column (automatically calculated)when no transaction has taken place (ie, there is no date entered in the date column). At the moment this value appears all the time.

how to change an argument in VB to range to each and every individual cell in the range?
At the moment i have :
If 100 < Application.Min(Range("G5:O5")) Then
but i want to change it to :
If 100 < Application.Min(Range("G5 or H5 or I5 or J5 or K5, etc).
I think that "or" is the correct way to describe it.
I guess i mean that i want the formula to look at each individual cell instead of the above code.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have seen many threads on how to delete rows with no data in them (empty rows).. but I have a spreadsheet that has large "chunks" of column data separated by random empty cells. (It is like this from earlier manipulation of summing similar cells...)
Some columns do not have any empty cells and some have a many empty cells. I only want to shift the cell directly beneath it up, and only concentrate on a single column at a time.
So my main questions is:
How do you delete single cells, in a single column, and shift the data below up?
I have a column with (potentially) multiple values in, heres an example:
Marketing Specialism
Commercial, Multi-channel, Loyalty/Retention
Analytics, Partner
Analytics
Commercial, Analytics, Segment

What I need to be able to do is count (and then chart) the number of each value, irrelevant of whether it appears with another value in a cell. e.g.
Analytics, Parter - Would count 1 Analytics and 1 Partner
Analytics - Would count 1 Analytics
I know there is a formula where I can specify the value to count, but as the column has so many different values I would have to write a formula with each separate value, this would take a long time.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI want to display the percentage of occupancy for each month for condo rentals.
I have columns with dates that represent bookings throughout the year. check in and check out dates to be more precise. (A1 and B1 for example) and I have columns with months Jan, Feb, etc. (C1, D1, etc. for example)
The problem I run in to is that I can calculate the number of days between the dates and the fraction of the year (*12 to get a monthly value, but I fail to understand how I can break that up so that I can populate each month with a correct percentage of the total term.
E.g. A1=1-jan-2014 and B1=20-jan-2014 is an easy one because it only covers 1 month:
formula: =(YEARFRAC(A1,B1,3))*12 gives me 62,47% which I could just use as is for that month.
So far so good, but when the period covers more than one month or when the months overlaps, I don't know how to break the outcome up into the appropriate months to display the correct percentage for each month in its own column.
e.g. A1=1-jan-2014 and B1=20-Mar-2014 gives me a result of 253% with the same formula.
100% for November, 100% for December and 63% for January, which I could somehow formulate to break up over different Months.
But then it gets more tricky. What if the booking starts on a day other than the 1st of the Month?
e.g. A1=5-jan-2014 and B1=20-Mar-2014
The result of the formula (243%) is correct, but isn't sufficient to put the correct percentages for each month in their respective column.
What formula(s) should I use to break down the percentages to match the correct fraction of each individual month?
I attached an example of what I have so far for your review : test.xlsx
