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)
The idea is to center an image in the middle of a cell where the cell's size is variable. This shall be done for a column of images if a certain cell in the same row contains content different from 0. If not the image shall be invisible.
Sub Center()Dim Position As Integer Dim Picture As Integer Picture = 6 For Position = 7 To 320If Sheets("List of Measures").Cells(Position, 2).Value

Run-time error 1004: Application-defined or object-defined error?
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 3 0 4 +50 5 +50
now when it comes to even numbers eg 1,2,3,4,5,6 if i use median it divide 3 & 4 and comes up with 3.5 ........ i want it to recognize 3 and 4 as the middle numbers and assign plus and minuses above and below the middle numbers 1 -50 2 -50 3 -25 4 +25 5 +50 6 + 50
I need to extract text from the middle of a cell. I know you can use the MID function but with the complete function as i need to extract text string from Name to the end of their full name (I have highlighted below in bold). Of course their full name will change in each row.
Example text in cell B2: ID: 197993043 Name: Ben Fred Company: ID: 197992821 Name: Hello World!
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):
How to modify this code so that I select only one column triggers the time stamp update? For e.g. if i make any changes in column A, the date stamp is updated in the corresponding cell in column B. Basically, I am trying to narrow down to only one cell in the row, but it should work for any row in the sheet.
Refer to the below post: [URL] ....
VB: Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) If Target.Row > 1 Then Cells(Target.Row, "B") = Now() End Sub
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: ....
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.
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?
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.
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?
Here A and B value is keep on changing from external source, when A1=9.30am, the B1 value 120, then C1 should capture the B1 value and stored in it. like wise it captured and stored for every 5 minit or as per requirement.
1) input: col A has a series of product code (string) 2) calculation: where I want to automatically copy and paste each product code from "input" worksheet into "calculation" cell B4, and through many steps of calculations, return the outputs in cell B8 and B9 (parameters are numeric) 3) output: how to automatically record B8 and B9 from "calculation" sheet to this sheet Row 5 and 6 from each loop? (format of output doesn't really matters)
I'm trying to do is definetly simple to a lot of you, but I'm struggling on how to get started. I attached a workbook that clearly shows my work! I'm almost there but not quiet. Basically the user will be able to make a slection that will be used to lookup values from a different sheet. Each selection triggers a ranking number at the bottom (red pattern) in the worksheet. Now I would like to capture all scenarios and display the ranking.
I want to get out of a loop in the middle of it, with out going out from the whole procedure.
By the way, is there is possibility to send him to other location in the code instead of going out of the loop?
Do While ( Cells(counter, 5).Value = 1) 'some commands If R(1) >= 0.83 * R(2) Then 'some commands Else ' here I want it to go out of the loop, ' but not to get out of the whole porcedure End If counter = counter + 1 Loop
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.
I have a worksheet with some names in a column with a persons first name then the second name and I would like to place the names in a different column I can have this to work ok with the following formula
=MID(A1&" "&A1,FIND(" ",A1)+1,LEN(A1))
This works ok but I have people with three names like Peter May Jones
When I have changed the name I would like to have (Jones, Peter May) but I get (May Peter Jones)
Also the colon I have after the first name gets put at the end of the name not after the last name.
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
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 End With End Sub
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.

I want to write a macro that is able to copy the 5th position to the 10th position characters from one cell to another. For example, in Cells(B1) contains: Mon Jan 8 09:00:02 2007. Then I want to copy "Jan 8" to Cells(A1). How do I do that? Also, i am not supposed to hardcode the cells. The codes should look something like that
start = InputBox.... end = InputBox...
For i = start To End Cells(i,"A").Value = (whatever Function To copy 5th To 10th char of Cells(i,"B"))....... Next i
In A3 is a surname, in B3 is a first name (and possibly multiple middle names, separated by a space). In C3 I'd like the first name ONLY and the surname
A3......................B3.................C3 Hobbs.................Jon Peter........Jon Hobbs Peters.................Mark..............Mark Peters Jones..................Bob Tim Mark...Bob Jones
In some cells the format (all in the same cell) is:
I have a problem here with the currency style, when I put the number in the cell and clicked the currency style button, the currency is placed in the left side and the number is in right side. How can I make it both in the middle? http://i44.tinypic.com/bfnbqd.jpg
