Capture Just Last Name In A Cell Containing First Last And Sometimes Middle

Jan 10, 2013

I want to extract just the last name from a cell that contains the full name and put just the last into a seperate cell.

WHAT I AM DOING: i copy the contents of a internal screen onto a spreadsheet that i use to check various peices of info and calculations. when i save I like to save my sheet with the last name and then acct number. The internal system screen combines the customers names into a single cell. Right now i have to type the last name into a new cell and have a simple save macro that concatenates that last name with the acct number and saves it into the appropriate folder.

The field i am pulling from is always formatted with FIRST NAME then MI (IF PROVIDED) and then LAST NAME. So when i dump the screen contents into excel A20 may be MIKE SMITH, or MIKE T SMITH. so i need something that looks backwards in the cell and stops at the first space and dumps SMITH into another cell of my choosing (B1 in this case)

Cell Reference In Middle Of Text

Jul 10, 2009

I'm trying to create a VB Script for an AS/400 app. It's all written but I'm trying to feed the data for part from an excel file. If B5 was 10 I need the final output in my cell to read:

autECLSession.autECLPS.SendKeys "10"

Here is my current formula ="autECLSession.autECLPS.SendKeys"""""&B5*100&""""""
It's reading as autECLSession.autECLPS.SendKeys""10"" which has two sets of quotes not just one and no space between sendkeys and "10"

I am looking for a formulas to first find the middle number in a column of numbers eg 1,2,3,4,5 3 is the middle (similar to median) thats where the calculations start...

it then assigns values of minus to the numbers above the middle and plus values to the numbers below the middle
1 -50
2 -50

How To Find Middle Initial And Replace With Blank Cell

Aug 28, 2012

I have a listing with Middle Initials in column D. D also contains dates and Names. I want to remove the Middle Initials only. I need to do this without moving around cells. So a Find:="A", Replacement:="" type of situation. Right now I have 26 two line entries to take care of this, but I know it has to be easier and use less lines. (Trying to consolidate code for a better look).

Here is some of what I have (that works, but is long):

Code:
'
' Replace Middle Initial from Prod Sheet
'
Cells.Replace What:="A", Replacement:="", LookAt:=xlWhole, SearchOrder _
:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=True, SearchFormat:=False, ReplaceFormat:=False

[Code]...

I thought that I might be able to do something like this, but I can't get it to work.

Code:

Dim Alpha as Variant
Alpha = Array("A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F", "G", "H", "I", "J", "K", "L", "M", "N", "O", "P", "Q", "R", "S", "T", "U", "V", "W", "X", "Y", "Z")
For ABet = 1 to Cells(Rows.Count, "D").End(xlUP).Row
If Range(ABet) = Alpha Then Range(ABet) = ""
Next ABet

' or I thought maybe this would work.

Cells.Replace What:=("A", "L", "R", "M") Replacement:="", LookAt:=xlWhole, SearchOrder _ :=xlByRows, MatchCase:=True, SearchFormat:=False, ReplaceFormat:=False

' or I thought maybe this would work with the variables.

If Range("B" & ABet) = Alpha Then Range("A" & ABet) = "" None of them worked though.

Capture Cell Value Before Change Event

Mar 3, 2009

I am trying to capture the value of a cell before a change even. The attached Macro will report the value before the change but does not store it so that I can use it in another module. What I am trying to do is capture the value before the change and then look that value up in another worksheet (in the same workbook) so I can make the same change in the second workbook.

The values will always be in Column B and will always be string characters.

The code I am using for the change event is as follows: ....

Periodically Capture Cell Values

May 6, 2009

I would like to know how to capture a cell value at a specific date each month in a situation where this cell can change value as it is a formula. For example, the cell returns a percentage that is derived from other data that can change regularly. It may be 45% today, but a user may alter other data in the spreadsheet and it could be 67% tomorrow (or any other percentage).

I want to graph a monthly trend of how this cell value changes by capturing the cells value on the 20th day of every month, or it would also be ok to work on a periodic snapshot of every 30 days.

Capture And Display RGB Value Of Cell Interior

Oct 9, 2012

I'm trying to write a routine that will display the Red, Green and Blue RGB properties of a cell's interior colour.

I found the following function:

Code:

Function SingleColorFromRGB(colorWanted As String, RGBValue As Long) As Long
Dim rColor As Long, gColor As Long, bColor As Long
If RGBValue < 0 Then GoTo ReturnError
rColor = RGBValue Mod 256
RGBValue = Int(RGBValue / 256)
gColor = RGBValue Mod 256

[Code]...

How I should call this function in a worksheet, or failing that, come up with something better e.g. a message box that will display the numeric values of each RGB property for the selected cell, or a single cell worksheet name?

Capturing Value From One Userform To Another Or Macro Without Using Cell To Capture?

Oct 31, 2012

i have used two form and a macro in a workbook. First one captures data via text box. This data is captured in a cell. Form two adds a new sheet with the name that is captured in a cell, then perforns some task in the newly created sheet. Macro does the formatting of the newly created sheet and saves the sheet. Again when i reopen the the workbook the value is captured in next blank cell and the procedure follows. This works fine as far as there is a single. But not in case of multiple user at the same time. Is there a way to directly capture the value to form 2 and macro so that multiple user can work on the same time.

Using Scripting Directory To Capture Value Of Cell Before Change

Feb 13, 2014

I have date values in a range of cells, and have named the range "ChangeRange".

How would I:

1. loop through the range to store the current value of each cell in a scripting directory?
2. use vba to compare the values in that dictionary to the current value of the cell when it changes (NOTE: the change is by formula, not by manual insertion of a new value?
3. write that old cell value in the cell immediately to the right of the cell when it changes and update the dictionary value with the "new" old value?
4. do this for more than one range of dates on the same page?

First Name-Last Name To Last Name-First Name Some With Middle Initials

Mar 8, 2008

An application I use at work exports names in a first name-last name format. At this point I have a list of about 315 names in this format. Is there a way I can convert these names to a last name-first name format? I need to export these data on a daily basis, so I'll need to perform this conversion every day. I did a search for this, but didn't find anything.

Remove Heading Row In The Middle

Aug 19, 2012

I have code that copies data from one tab, called "Report" - to another tab called "Master". The data in the "Report" tab is actually 2 reports. Both reports have the exact same format but are separated by 1 or 2 blank rows and a Heading row. Before I run the code, I have to delete the blank rows and middle heading row.

I was wondering if there is code that could find these rows and delete them.

The row that I delete has the following values (which are headings): Col 1, 2, 3. The populated columns are A - L

Find The 3 Leters Only When There In The Middle Of A Name

Nov 26, 2007

I have a spread sheet that the user enters 3 characters in B2 of a name, then the code will determine out of 35,000 rows with names in Column B how many match the 3 consecutive chracters, all other rows that dont match will hide.

My issue is, that the code seams to find the 3 leters only when there in the middle of a name, and will not identify all other simularities where the 3 letters are at the begining of the name, or at lerast not in all cases.

I adjusted the "Set tempCell = .Columns(2)." to (1) and that worked great but caused other problems.

lastrow = .Cells(Rows.Count, 2).End(xlUp).Row
Set tempCell = .Range("B:B").Find(what:=Left(.Range("B2").Value, 3), After:=.Range("B2"), _
LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:=False)
If tempCell Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "Not found"
Exit Sub
Else
Set foundCell = tempCell
Range(.Range("B3"), foundCell.Offset(-1, 0)).EntireRow.Hidden = True

End If
Do
Set tempCell = .Columns(2).FindNext(After:=foundCell)
If foundCell.Row >= tempCell.Row Then Exit Do
Range(foundCell.Offset(1, 0), tempCell.Offset(-1, 0)).EntireRow.Hidden = True
Set foundCell = tempCell
Loop
Range("A" & foundCell.Row + 1 & ":A" & lastrow).EntireRow.Hidden = True

Capitalize Names (first, Middle And Last)

Nov 15, 2006

I have a routine where I and others enter employee names. It takes whatever case is inputted, and formats it to Capitialize the first name, Middle Initital, and Lastname. However, my routine is flawed slightly and I was wondering if there was a way to fix it.

The flaw is in the names such as McSomething, or MacDonald, McMasters.. the routine will Capitalize the first and last names, put a comma and even put a period if there is a middle initial (or not if there is no middle initial), but I can't figure out how to identify if its a Mc or a Mac or any other of those surnames. The routine will force it to Mcsomething or Macdonald ... so.. any ideas ?? It won't capitalize (in this case) the S in Mcsomething.

Public Sub StandardizeName()

Dim FN, MI, NOFI, NOLI, FirstName, LastName, First, Middle, Lastn As String

'Standardizes all name inputs - due to user input error
FN = TextBox3.Value
Lastn = TextBox1.Value
MI = TextBox4.Value

Is there a VBA code do this in a lot of workbooks, the format of all these books are the same.
