Right INSTR

Oct 29, 2009

I have some text in column A.

I need to find where the last letter "R" is in that text.

Sort of like =FIND("R",A2), but I need it to go from the right side of the text instead of the left side.

Example:
R123R45R78 would return 3.

There may be any number of R's in the text. I can't predict that.

InStr Function That Uses Various Characters As 1

Apr 14, 2014

I am trying to write a function that recalculates given times to points (as used in speedskating).

The times are filled in by a number of people, which each use their own method of dividing minutes from seconds (and 1/100 of a sec).

I found out how to see the difference between times that look like 1.11.11 and 11.11 etc

How to use that same method in an InStr function. Most of the times I get an error message #Value or something that has that format, sometimes all I get is a 0.

Instr Function Returns Zero

Jun 25, 2007

i have a very basic function using instr as follows:

ins = 0
Dim x As Integer
Dim y As Integer

findst = "["
finden = "]"

x = InStr(ins, oldstrgFd, findst, vbTextCompare)
y = InStr(ins, oldstrgFd, finden, vbTextCompare)

Debug.Print x,y

oldstrgFd in the example is populated with

[ClientName] Planning Workshop
[FeedbackLocation], [FeedbackDate]
[FeedbackPresenters]

I am expecting this the first positions of the square brackets, but x and y both return 0.

Using InStr Function In Case Statement

Sep 9, 2012

I am attempting to use the following code to move certain sheets to specific locations in my workbook. The case statement containing the InStr function isn't working eventhough the "Data" tab does exist and the InStr function does return 1.

Code:
ThisSheetToMove = Sheets(SCount).Name
Select Case ThisSheetToMove
Case "Schedule"
Sheets("Schedule").Move Before:=Sheets(1)
Case InStr(1, Trim(ThisSheetToMove), "Data") > 0
Sheets(ThisSheetToMove).Move After:=Sheets(SShtLast)

2003/2007 Problem With InStr, Replace, And Len

Feb 22, 2009

I have run into a brick wall with InStr, Replace, and Len. I take the data from the active cell (formatted as text). I need to cleanup the data and do further massaging of it. In testing cleanup code, I get behavoirs and results I simply don't understand and can't figure out from hours searching forums many places.

The following simplified example commented code can be cut/pasted into a new spreadsheet module and should be self-explanatory. Example data is in the comments. Data is entered by multiple users and multiple sources. Therefore there is no control over the input quality so extraneous characters and multiple repeated periods and spaces can show up anywhere.

Changing UDF To Macro

Feb 8, 2013

I found the following function in an old thread.

Public Function cleanString(fNameStr As String)Dim i As IntegerConst BadChars = "=+/'*?).,#%~!($[]÷™©" For i = 1 To Len(BadChars) fNameStr = Application.WorksheetFunction.Substitute(fNameStr, _ Mid(BadChars, i, 1), "") Next i cleanString = fNameStr
End Function

How would this be modified to work as a macro on selected cells (with selection?) I lost the formatting

VBA Macro (Changing Cells From A1-C3 Then A2-C2)

Aug 7, 2014

What my code needs to do: It needs to verify data in column rows say for this example columns A to C and infinite rows. It needs to verify the data in this order A1, B1, C1, A2, B2, C3 etc. (One of the part I have problems to do) It also needs to add to a row/cell "1" when certain conditions. (In the same line as the last checked data in the column "D" say for exemple last data that was checked is "A3" well the 1 must be written in "D3". The conditions are simple the first Data the macro encounters must be higher than 0.25 and all following data must be higher than 6, whenever the next data is lower than 6 or empty add 1 to the corresponding D row and restart at the 0.25 cell "checking".

Changing Macro To Use A Loop

Mar 12, 2014

I'm using a macro to drag down a formula across a worksheet then again further down the worksheet which is working ok but I know there has to be a better way of doing it. At the moment every time I add a new column I have to edit the macro over and over and its getting out of hand. I know there must be a way of rewriting the macro into a loop but my skills are obviously still new.

Here's the macro:

[Code] ......

This continues over to column AO so far then I drop down a few rows and do it again:

[Code] .....

I think I need to set variables that set the row and column each time. maybe a "drag formula one column at a time from row x to row y until column header is empty then move to the new row and repeat"?

Run Macro If Values Are Changing?

Dec 21, 2011

I have a code that clears the content of a cell if the value of that cell exceeds two.

Code:
Option Explicit
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Cells(1, 1).Value > 2 Then Cells(1, 1).ClearContents
End Sub

My problem is the value of this cell comes from a function and changes every second automatically (linked to a data feed). So I'm not changing it manually, therefore my code is not working unless I touch it. I just wanted to ask if I can add a code onto this which checks the values and runs the ClearContents macro if there is any change.. I've got a few sheets like this so I need this to run in the background..

Changing Ranges In A Macro?

Jun 24, 2013

Code:

Sub appointment_nieuw()
With CreateObject("Outlook.Application").CreateItem(1)
.Subject = Range("C3")
.Start = DateValue(Range("A3")) + TimeValue(Range("B3"))
.Duration = 0
.Location = Range("D3")
Dim cell As Range
For Each cell In Range("F2:H2")
.body = .body & Space(2) & cell
Next
.Save
End With
End Sub

I have this macro that works great, but every time I have a different appointment. I have to go into VB editor and change the ranges for the subject, datevalue, timevalue, location and body.

Can I get a text box (or something better) to pop up and I enter the ranges for the 5 in it and have it change in the macro?

Using InStr To Find Number Within A Number?

Jun 6, 2006

I work for a store and we're migrating to a new Point of Sale system. The new POS uses the entire UPC code while our existing one uses only partial UPCs, so I have to update from the partial to the full. ex. Partial 3378093 - Full 0033780935

The partial UPC will always be included in the full UPC, the difference is the dropped leading zeros (and possibly other numbers) and the check digit number at the end. What I have is a spreadsheet with with two worksheets (Old, New) - one has our old UPCs and other information, the other has the new, full UPCs and more information we'll need. What I want to do is write a function that will search through the full list of new UPCs to find the one with the old UPC inside it and return the full UPC. InStr seems the right function to do this - correct?

The part I'm having trouble with is writing something that will search through the full column of new UPCs using InStr. I've searched through the forum for a similar situation but the few I've found aren't working or appropriate. I don't want to include any code I've written because 1) it doesn't work and 2) it would be way too embarassing!

Runing A Macro On By Changing A Value Of The Cell

Sep 11, 2008

Is there a way to change the value of cell A1, for example, from one value to another, hit the enter key, and activate a macro this way.

A couple of qualifications:
- the value in cell A1 will never be the same (that is it could be -23.43 or .12)
- I can not simply tie the macro to the "enter" key as there will be numerous cells (A1, B3, C90 and so on) in the same sheet that I will need to do this with, each tied to a different macro.

Changing Macro To Custom Function

Nov 19, 2008

I have a calendar I have developed that highlights the current date and opens by default to the current month. Each worksheet is a seperate month. The current date highlighting is written with a public macro and the opening to current month is a private macro. The problem comes when this workbook is shared and the other users have to agree to accept my macro because of security. I would like to bypass that requirement and just have the workbook stand alone without the permission.

Changing Cost Allocation Macro?

May 23, 2012

I am trying to write a Macro to allocate a certain cost across thousands of orders. The number of orders will obviously change monthly. The cost is relatively small, and when divided evenly by the total orders needs to be rounded up to the nearest cent (Typically $.01 - $.02)

I then need the cost to be insered in a colum running next to a total cost column, but I need it to stop when it reaches the total cost and just start adding zeros to the rest of the orders so as not to overcharge.

Not sure if I need to incorporate solver somehow. I figured I would reference the allocated cost from a cell in the worksheet but not sure how to insert any algebraic logic into a macro.

Macro To Prevent Changing The Value Within A Cell

Jan 11, 2007

I would like to write a macro that performs the following function:

I have a value in cell A1

In cell A2, I have the formula "=A1"

I want to make it so that cell A2 can never be directly changed; the only way to change the value in A2 is by changing A1. A2 should always equal A1.

I want a message box to pop up and alert the user whenever they attempt to modify A2, instructing them that if they wish to change A2, they have to change A1.

I had written this macro, and it kinda does the trick:


Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)


If Range("a2") Range("a1") Then
MsgBox "text goes here"
Range("a2").Value = Range("a1")
End If

End Sub

When I attempt to change cell A2, I get the MsgBox popup and it works how I want it to. However, when I alter cell A1, I get the same popup before cell A2 updates (to be precise, the popup occurs after I click another cell). I would like this to be immediate and without a MsgBox.

Event Macro Changing Sheet Name

May 23, 2009

I have a worksheet called "Roster" with a list of names from D7:D17 each person on the list has a separate sheet that is called by their name. the sheets are not linked up. the names were just manually typed into the list and into each sheet name.

If any name is changed on the list on "Roster!D7:D17" i would like the sheet that has that name to change as well.

This is the code that i was sent, but i do not know enough about VBA code to understand exactly what is happening, thus i cannot diagnose the problem. I placed the following code into the page "Roster" (by right-clicking and then pasting the code) then i closed, but nothing happens. I can mess with the code and get an error message. but that is about it. error messages usually say something about the debugger, or runtime error or something.

there is the
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
OldVal(0) = OldVal(1)
OldVal(1) = Target(1).Value
End Sub
