Aug 2, 2008I have a report that includes data broken up by several headings. Instead of showing the heading and the data below it, I would prefer that the heading was included in every subsequent row that it related to (and the heading be removed).
All the headings are in italic non bold format.
All the data is in standard format (no bold / italics / underline).
The only data in the sheet is as above, and there are no gaps in the data. A heading will relate to all the data directly below it until there is a new heading.
Macro To Paste Data After Checking Text In Cell
Aug 1, 2012I am writing a macro that will allow me to copy all the data in a set range (A2 and below) after checking that B1 contains the text "Year_id".
Right now, I am able to copy all the information, and paste it onto "Sheet 4". I am unable to code for the part where the macro would check for the text. The code that I have (for copying-pasting the date) is below.
Any code that would check the information in B1 into this macro code below:
Code:
Sub Copy_Allinfo()
Dim Sht As Worksheet
Dim Rng As Range
For Each Sht In Sheets
If Sht.Name = "Sheet4" Then

Number Of Characters In Each Cell
Jan 28, 2014I need a VBA code to find the number of characters in each cell and display the result in next column.
For Ex:

Limiting Number Of Characters In A Cell
Jan 21, 2009I'm creating a spreadsheet (Excel 2003) in which a user enters data in several cells, each of which will permit different numbers of characters (to include spaces). For example, in the first cell, the user will be limited to 50 characters, in the second cell, the limit is 30 characters, and so on.
I found the data validation error alert feature, but want to give the user a cue that the entry is too long so they know to stop typing before moving to the next cell. If they only are alerted when they finish making the entry, they might not take the time to properly reconstruct the entry to meet the size limitation. I'm trying to make this more user-friendly.
Is there a way to set up the worksheet so the user knows that the entry is approaching the character limit? For example, each character filling an individual cell or having a display appear with a count-down for the number of characters remaining in the limit, or something similar.
Copying Certain Number Of Characters From The Right In A Cell?
Sep 11, 2012I have a column that is made up of postcodes, lat, long, eastern, northern data eg: SK10 5BA, 53.291013, -2.096675, 393652, 377121
And I want to end up with a column containing the lat (53.291013) and another containing the long (-2.096675).
I have worked out to use formula's to remove a certain number of characters from the left and right of the cell, but the challenge here is the postcode at the begining of the data, can be varying in length.
know of a formula that will let me copy a certain number of characters within the cell, but counted from the right, as the eastern and northern numbers are always the same length.

Selecting Definite Number Of Characters In A Cell
Mar 20, 2009I have a description for a couple trucks in my inventory, rather than retyping all the mileage, I would like to select the miles out of the description.

I have tried the find, left and mid formulas but haven't put something together to work just right. I would like to select the 7 characters to the left of "Miles".
Does anyone have any ideas?

Will the message appear while you are entering the characters (when it has reached the limit) or will it wait until you have hit Enter?

Jan 16, 2008We have a form that requires descriptive comments to be entered into several rows of merged cells. My goal is to have the form be able to automatically dropped down to the next row of merged cells when the current row of merged cells reaches a maximum number of characters.
And finally, the last row of merged cells would not allow any more characters than the maximum assigned but not advance to another cell automatically.
The rows I am working with specifically are:

Macro To Remove Certain Characters - End Of Cell Value
Jun 9, 2014I am currently using the following formula to remove the letter "R" from the end of cells
[=IF(ISNUMBER(--RIGHT(A3)),A3,LEFT(A3,LEN(A3)-1))].
However, I would like a macro to accomplish this goal, along with something else. I have a list of values as follows:
CHD152-2
CHD115-1
CHD40-3
RE224
HPC644R
DOC020R
HPC594R
What I need is a macro that will remove any instance of "R", "-1", "-2", "-3", "-4" from the end of a cell. neither of the 5 values listed in the last sentence are present, the the cell will be unchange. So, after running, the above values would look like this:
CHD152
CHD115
CHD40
RE224
HPC644
DOC020

IFERROR Or ISNUMBER - Checking Whether Or Not Two Different Cells Contain A Number
Jan 26, 2014I am checking whether or not two different cells contain a number or the error #NA.
If one of the cells contains a number then the result will be that number.
If both cells contain #NA then the result should be “99”
Example:
Formula in Column C
The values are in columns A and B.
If the value in cell A is a number the result is A.
If the value in cell B is a number the result is B.
If the value in cell A and B equal #NA the result is 99

Macro- If 46 Characters In A Cell, Text Wrap
Sep 2, 2008Is there a way to specify if there are 46 characters in a cell, to apply text wrap, indent the second line, and resize the row height to 25.5?
For example, I always will have text on merged cells B7:C7. I'd like to have a macro that determines if the text goes over C7 (I figured that it would take 46 characters to do this), that the merged cells will be text wrapped, then row 7 will be resized to 25.5.
I know how to record a macro that will text wrap and resize the row height but am not sure how to do the "if" condition.
Launching Macro Based On Selected Cell Value (first Two Characters?)
Sep 6, 2013I have a macro to sort a very large list of materials by a variety of conditions.
The macro runs automatically when a cell on the master list spread sheet is selected and using If/ElseIf it sorts based on what cell they have selected.
Example
If ActiveCell = "ALUMINIZED" Then
ActiveSheet.Range("$A$14:$K$1945").AutoFilter Field:=2
ActiveSheet.Range("$A$14:$K$1945").AutoFilter Field:=4
ActiveSheet.Range("$A$14:$K$1945").AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:= _"Aluminized"
Which is working perfectly. The problem I am having is that some of the cells are two lines so it looks like this:
BE
BEARINGS
I don't know how to get it to launch based on that cell content because of the line break in there. Can I make it launch based on the first two characters only?
Macro - Rename Only & Sheet... & Tabs With Last 8 Characters From Cell
Nov 5, 2009I pull an excel sheet from a database each day that gives me sales data for different products sold. The way the spreadsheet comes from the system, the first tab is named "Document Map" and lists all of the products, and each product then has its own tab but they're generically named (Sheet1, Sheet2, etc.). The name of the product is always in cell T8, but the name itself is only the last 8 characters of that cell.
What I'm hoping to accomplish with a macro is two things:
1) Retrieve the last 8 characters from T8 in each tab, and name the tab with those characters (same effect as the formula "=right(T8,8)").
2) Ensure that this only occurs on tabs with the word "Sheet" in the beginning. Depending on the day, there could be any number of products and they each get their own tab, so I was hoping to be able to get the macro to only work on sheets where the first 5 characters are "Sheet" regardless of the number after that.

Value Checking/limiting Macro --Tough One!!
Aug 25, 2006I have a huge list of entries everyday (around 50,000) that needs a time stamp. Each of them has a time difference of 5 seconds in between. That is between two entries there is a time difference of 5 seconds. I use now() function to put the time stamp. The only problem is that I cannot have any value after 4:29:59 PM. That is, I need a macro that would check for the values in the C column, and if they are after 4:29:59 PM, put the value 4:29:59 PM, instead of the real time.
In cell C1:
IF((TIME(HOUR(NOW()),MINUTE(NOW()),SECOND(NOW()))) >(TIME(16,29,59)),(TIME(16,29,59)),(TIME(HOUR(NOW( )),MINUTE(NOW()),SECOND(NOW())+5)))
In cells C2:C9999999:
IF((TIME(HOUR(NOW()),MINUTE(NOW()),SECOND(NOW()))) >(TIME(16,29,59)),(TIME(16,29,59)),(TIME(HOUR(C1), MINUTE(C1),SECOND(C1)+5)))
However, the problem is I have so many entries that after a 10000 or so the time passes 4:30 PM. I think the only way to fix this would be to add a macro.

Edit Checking Before Running Macro (with Message Box)
Jan 22, 2010I'm trying to control the number of ways people can mess-up this worksheet. I have several buttons that copy one object from a worksheet "FISH PARTS" and paste them onto another "THE JUMPER FISHBONE"
My question is can I prevent people from copying objects from the first worksheet if they already exist on the second? Specific to the code below: how do I make sure "BONE_1" doesn't already exist on the worksheet "THE JUMPER FISHBONE" before allowing it to be copied from the other worksheet. And can I generate a message box that tells the user the object already exists on the page.
