Converting Text To Columns For A String
Jul 31, 2012
I have a problem in converting text to columns for a string that has 1000+ entry's. Excel bumps me out after 851 using the Split function.
The data I can only download in a text format has >1000 fields that are seperated by ",". Not a problem so far but when I attempt to convert to columns there is a maximum limitation of 851.
Data1,Data2,Data3,Data4...................Data1000,Data1001,Data1002 etc...
I have tried:
Sub Split_Delimeter()
Dim Words() As String
Words = Split(Cells(2, 4), ",")
MsgBox "String contains " & (UBound(Words) + 1) & " words"
End Sub

I have a set of letters in a single row DISATAGFOORCBORDQFINFCOBBKIEHDSMCNRSKARDFCJSLCQCECFVSBCBOYKPVYKC. I want to distibute them across 5 columns such that each letter occupies one cell. I might want to specify a different column width later on so the solution should be flexible.

I have a spreadsheet that has 3 different dates in 3 different cells:
B4 - 3/24/2014
B5 - 4/6/2014
B6 - 4/14/2014
From that information I need once cell to display "Mar 24 - Apr 6 paid Apr 14"
Reason being is that I am importing journal entries into an accounting program and I am allowed one cell each row for the description. This would let me change the dates only and my descriptions will fill out before import. It is important that the months are abbreviated to 3 letters as I am limited on how many characters the description can be.

I have a string of data coming from a SQL Server data connection into my workbook. The value in the column is a text string that is pipe delimited. I need a macro to parse the data from that column into applicable separate columns. I would typically use text to columns for this and parse it out manually... but the tool I'm creating is one of the automated variety, so that will not suffice for this application. I need it to do this automatically when the data connection refreshes.

I have a cell in workbook X on Sheet1 (cell AB3) that states which columns should be exported from workbook X on Sheet3 to a new workbook. The value of cell AB3 on Sheet1 changes based on what a user selects in some check boxes on Sheet1. I would like my macro to read the value of cell AB3 and interpret it is a range reference of which columns to copy from Sheet3 into a new workbook. The problem I'm having is knowing what line(s) of code I would use in VB to read cell AB3 as a range and what kind of referencing rules I need cell AB3 to contain. Right now this is what the cell looks like to the user:
Code: Sheet3'(A:A,B:B,E:E,F:F).Select
For cell AB3 to look this way I'm just using some hard coded text, such as the sheet number and .Select, plus some concatenated values in between. Perhaps this text string needs to be modified, but I'm also wondering what I would use in my macro to reference the cell and read it as reference to which columns to select in Sheet3.

I was wondering if it was possible to do something like this:
x = 15
test = "x"
MsgBox (test)
with the message box saying "15" instead of "x". I guess more specifically what I want is:
x = 15
test = Range("A5").Value 'Range("A5").value = "x + 2"
MsgBox (test) 'I want "17" to be outputted
Is this possible? Somehow convert the string test into an integer and read the variable?

I'm currently trying to copy a dynamic range based on the row number of a selected listbox item. I'm able to get the row number of the selected listbox item from the data tab in my file. I, however, am stuck when it comes to copying a fixed column / varying row range from this tab and copying it over to another tab.
Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()
Dim ID As Long
Dim Row As Long
Dim Cnt As Long
Dim SearchTermsStr As String
Dim SearchTermsRng As Range
[Code] ....
SearchTermsRng is returing "Nothing" but the SearchTermsStr returns "F3:O3"

I need to be able to locate a date in a spreadsheet bassed uppon a user input date. I am looking for the week that contains the user's date. However it seems even if I initialize the value as Date, it still reads the user's input as a string.
Is there an easy way make sure the system automaticaly recognizes the user's input as a date, or is there a way to quicly convert the string to a date?

I have a function that will be used across 10K+ records at a time, so I was taking a look at optimizing it a bit. At the start of the routing I have a string with a 9 to 15 digit numeric value in it. I wanted to load each individual digit into a byte array. I started out using:
byVal = StrConv(sVal,vbFromUnicode)
But that actually loads the ASCII Character codes into the array not the digits themselves. From there I considered looping through the array applying CByte(Chr$(byVal(i))) but then I wondered if it would make more sense to just load the array with Mid$(sVal,i,1)... Does anyone have tested knowledge on which performs better? Is there an option C I have missed?

I have hit an issue when tranfering a string date from VBA to excel, excel thinks the string is US format and swaps around the days and months even though the system and excel are setup for UK date format:
Simple example of the problem:
Sub test()
Dim testy As String
testy = Now
'testy will equal 04/10/2007 17:20
Range("A1").Value = testy
'A1 will equal 10/04/2007 17:20
End Sub
Now I know in this example that if I used DateValue(testy) it would work, but our situation is a bit more complex as we are running this is a loop testy is not always a date.

I have an ACD program that gives me a time in "mm:ss" format, or in ":ss" fomat. I have 2-3 problems with charting this data.
1 I am inheriting the production of charts from someone else, with old data being displayed by seconds only I am supposed to keep this display.
2 the data that is in mm:ss format is recognized as being in full date format, for example 2:14 is recognized as 2:14:00 AM instead of 2 minutes, 14 seconds.
3 the data that is in :ss, ie :44, is recognized as a string.
Any thoughts on how I can convert both cases to a integer seconds? I know for example that I could mid() the second condition, but I am stuck thinking about the first condition.
I can't adjust the way the time comes in, unfortunately. It is an auto-generated export of the data from a switch.

I have a userform that reads in a list of names into a combobox. When you choose a name from the combobox it then shows the that persons details from a sheet containing all the names.
I have some text boxes that allows the data to be modified and returns it to the sheet which works fine. What i also want it to do it put the data from the form into a sheet for that individual. For example the name of Ford would go into the Ford worksheet.
How do i read in the value from the combobox on the worksheet and use it as a variable to use in my code. For example
Sheets(Value from the combobox).Cells(NoOfRows, 3).Value = Me.TextBoxChangePosistion.Value
*NoOfROws is the variable to find a blank row

I recieve a spreadsheet each month with the following column of data:
9 Paddington House
PO Box 73
Whiteleys of Bayswater
9-10 Grove Road
134/138 Drymen Road
44-46 The High Street
1 Midland Road
48 Donegall Place
As you can see, it consists of addresses, each line is a separate address. I need it to be converted so that the data is split into the following 5 fields:
Street number from
street number letter from
street number to
street number letter to
street
If there is no street number , then it should just enter the data into the street field. If there is a range such as 44-46, it should enter the 2 numbers into the from and to fields. Sometimes this is in the format 44/46. Also, sometimes there are letters, eg 44a-44b, in which case each section (ie 44, a, 44, b) needs to be in a spearate field.

I have two columns that read:
XXHSXX HR
XXTRXX MG
XXXFXX XG
XXHSXX HS
XXTRXX MG
XXMEXX RU
XXHSXX HR
XXHSXX
XXTRXX
XXTRXX
....
The above list represents 2 columns. The left column is 400 lines long. The right column is partially complete with 2 letter codes that represent the 6 letter codes on the right. I'm trying to convert the column in the XXYZXX format to a 2 letter column and each of those 2 letters corresponds to the 6 letter column on the left. How do I do this using any method or Vlookup? How does one convert a column of text to a corresponding column of text? I don't want to have to manually type in 2 letter codes that match up the left column. What do I do instead?

I have a spreadsheet that has many columns I need them to be stacked into rows to import them into a publishing program but I don't know how to accomplish this automatically. right now all I know how to do is insert rows and drag and drop the info which is very time consuming.
I have attached a sample of the sheet. A2 through A12 is how I would like all of the data to appear. However A14 through G14 is how it looks now.

My problem: I have downloaded national economic data from IMF with several countries for several years. I need several variables and must extract them individually so I a need a clever solution to my problem.
I currently have data that is sorted like below. The "-" indicates a numerical gdp value for the given country for the given year.;
(FYI I could not get the "-" to align beneath 2001-2004 and year respectively.)
Country 2001 2002 2003 2004
x - - - -
y - - - -
z - - - -
The identifier here is country, and the data is as such structured as cross sectional data, with each yearly account of gdp being a variable. Now, I need this data as panel data, organized as below:
Country year gdp
x 2001 -
x 2002 -
x 2003 -
x 2004 -
I sort of say, need to "flip it". As I have 180 countries and 11 years, and need to do this with 2-3 variables, I need either a formula or a VBA to run.

I have data in two columns on the same sheet that I need to transpose into rows on a separate sheet (same workbook). One problem is that I need to reference off one of these columns (column B - in Sheet "Gp Trg Plan") as the number of lines will vary.
Example - Sheet "Gp Trg Plan"
Column B Column D
Tower Module 1
Tower Module 2
Tower Module 3
Building Module 1
Building Module 8
Street Module 6
Ideally the row will look like.
Example - Sheet "Status WS"
Column A Column B Column C Column D Column E Column F Column G
Gp Name Sub Gp Person 1st Mod Date 2nd Mod Date
There is an undefined amount of training modules (columns D in Sheet "Gp Trg Plan"), but no more than 10.
