Changing VBA Macro Using InStr?
Aug 29, 2012
I want a vba macro which performs some thing like this. I think probably this can be done by using InStr function, the macro attached here just find the exact same value and shows the result but i want similar values,
Code:
Sub a()
lastrow = 10
For arow = 11 To 16
[Code].....

I want to change my existing macro using InStr function in such a way that when the columns are found then it add the corresponding values. The addition of values have already been done. I just want that if similar values are found then it show the results.

I have a column with this info: US,ULS,ULT.
When i have US or ULS or ULT alone in the column the macro is working perfect
But when i have US,ULS together my macro is pulling the information from US.... and is not using the comand .......ElseIf ((InStr(series, "US") 0) And (InStr(series, "ULS") 0)) Then
If (InStr(series, "US") 0) Then
Call HOME
div = "2"
cntr = "Sold"
ElseIf (InStr(series, "ULS") 0) Then
Call Univer
div = "12"
cntr = "House"
ElseIf (InStr(series, "ULT") 0) Then
Call masters
div = "Pi"
cntr = "Down"
ElseIf ((InStr(series, "US") 0) And (InStr(series, "ULS") 0)) Then
Call Univer
div = "24"
cntr = "twin"
End if

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.

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.

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.

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)
End Select

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.

I am trying to write a sub for using vlookup. To enable the vlookup, I want to return a word in a cell to the cell in the next column. I use the InStr function, but it doesn't work. They all return as "Other".

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

what needs to be changed on this code to only apply once for the row and not over and over again.
Dim Cell As Range
If Application.Intersect(Target, Range("ActivityRange")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
Application.EnableEvents = False
For Each Cell In Range("ActivityRange")
If Len(Cell.Value) > 0 Then Cell.Value = Cell.Value & Chr(10)
Next Cell
Application.EnableEvents = True

Is it possible to use the same macro when ranges have been changed? Attached is a sheet that I update frequently (rows will change day to day, not columns) and the goal is to have a dynamic macro that sums the rows highlighted in yellow and red. Is this possible?,

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".

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"?

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..

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?

I have button in the Excel sheet.When I click the button the following code got triggered.
Sub Button1_Click() 'YieldCurveGet
Dim arrayData As String
Dim CurveString As String
'arrayData = "Test,Test1....." '(for eg)
arrayData = WorksheetFunction.RTD("OrcExcel.RTDServer", "", "YieldCurveGet", "AUD yield curve", "AUD", Null, Null, Null, Null, Null, Null, Null, Null, Null, Null, Null, Null, Null, Null, Null, Null, Null, Null, Null, Null, Null, Null, Null, Null, Null)
CurveString = Split(arrayData, ",")
i = -1
For x = 1 To (UBound(CurveString) / 2)
i = i + 1
range("C" & x) = CurveString(i)
i = i + 1
range("D" & x) = CurveString(i)
Next x
End Sub
After triggered get invoked I need to set value of "arrayData " from VBA to Excel.Iam not sure what's going wrong.I cannot see the value in the Excel.

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!

I have a workbook that has a saved range. I created it with the Name Manager. See below:
[Code]....
When it looks like that the VBA works great and creates my pivots. But after I run my first macro to mess format my source data the range ends up looking like below:
[Code] .......
It is for some reason changing the "A" to "Y".
How I can get it to stay with the original data?

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.

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.

Is it possible for excel to monitor Row J for a letter "Y". If a "Y" is put into a cell in row J a macro runs. If the "Y" was in column 6 I need the macro to copy A6 B6 C6 D6 E6 F6 etc to other cells on a different worksheet.If "Y" was in column 7 it will copy A7 B7 C7 etc to the same other cells on a different worksheet.

I have a template work book that has several worksheets with numerous formulas thorughout.
For example;
=SUMPRODUCT(--ISNUMBER(SEARCH("MCSH",P9:P218)),--ISNUMBER(SEARCH("HWD",G9:G218))).
When I set up another template for a different crew I manually have to go through the entire work book and change the crew identifier (MCSH) in every formula.

I have a worksheet where I want the to change the collor of a range of cells in accordance to the value in another range of cells.
So if the value is "Gron" in cells C4:C27 then I want cells J4:J27 to return the color green. If, however, the value is "Rod" in cells C4:C27 then I want cells J4:J27 to return the color red.

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.

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.

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
