I'm trying to automate a redundant task. I have several Word files in one central folder. I need to open each file, remove all paragraph marks (via find/replace all), copy the result, and paste it into an Excel sheet. This process will be repeated for each file in the folder.
The code I have is almost there, however, I can't get it to do the find/replace. Below is an extract of my code for the Word application part. The code for the copy and paste will be inserted after the replace action works:
Dim Wapp As Object
Dim i As Integer
WorksheetsLocation = TextBox1.Value ' this is the folder location brought in from an input box
On Error Resume Next
Set wApp = GetObject(, "Word.Application")
If Err.Number 0 Then 'Word isn't already running
Set wApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
End If
On Error GoTo 0
I'm scanning data into a spreadsheet using a barcode scanner, but I want the starting character and trailing characters to be removed after I hit enter.
For example...let's say I'm scanning the following text in cell A1:
=W05281212345600
When I hit enter (or the barcode scanner does auto-enter), I want cell A1 to read:
W052812123456
I will always want the "=" and the last two zeros removed from the 16 character number, leaving the 13-character number in its place.
I tried using Excel's various truncate functions (LEFT,RIGHT,MID, etc.), but that only places the corrected text in another cell. That would be fine if I could copy that truncated text back over the original text...but that created a loop problem.
Is there an Excel formula to remove the spacebar + characters in red, as shown below? I need to be left with only the last name, first name and the semicolon.

I'm trying to use conditional formatting to highlight cells in a column that have less than 8 characters.
I know the LAN function, but I don't know how to make it work for the conditional formatting.
So we have people's names in a table. First name in one column and last name in another column. We have a 3rd column where we can use 8 characters to do a combination of First 5 of Last Name + first 3 of first name. However, if someone's last name is only 3 or 4 characters, we'd then want to take more from the first name to fill out the 8 characters.
So:
Charles Johnson -> Johnscha
John Smith -> Smithjoh
Willian Wu -> Wuwillia
What's the best way to do that without creating some crazy formula with tons of if/thens?
I am trying to find certain words in a column and delete the word and characters following. For example, Say I have a column of info as seen below. This is a test of me. I am just experimenting with this stuff. Deleted (6/15/01) Let me know what you think. I am not sure about it all, but I guess I will figure it out. riviledge1 (01/05/06) Now let's see what happens when I try to test it.
I want to find all the "Priviledge1 (01/05/06)" and replace with nothing. Please note, the date will change with each record, so I need to figure out how to tell Excel to find "Priviledge1", delete it and the date behind it. So I want to delete "Priviledge1" and the next 11 characters including the space.
i have created a user from called "delete"
from this the plan is that you will be able to select the name of the tab that you wish to delete from a drop down list (which will contain all the tab names) and click on a command button and this will then delete it
I am in need of code that will match a variable, "TheName", to the values in a range named "Phases". If a match is made then I want to delete the entire row which the value is matched in.
example:
PHASES
cat
dog
pig
My variable, "TheName" = Cat
I want the code search only the range "Phases" and delete the entire row in which the variable "TheName" is found. so in this case it would delete the entire row in which the value of "cat" was matched.
In Excel 2007, when I delete a row/cell, text is associated with deleting row/cell but some lines, polygon ... can not associate with deleting row/cell . So the lines, polygon ... in mistake location.

Just finished amending a piece of code to enable me to search for an agents name in a list of files. This is then copied to a new worksheet (named by the name entered in the search). What I need is to cut(or delete) the row from the original sheet (sheet 1 in this case) thus leaving me the remaining list of files.
Below is how the code is setup at the moment....(just copies the row)
Deleting Columns. I've got 2 codes here,

i need is a script that will add two boxes together to get a sum in a third box, but where it is tricky for me is that i need the third box to retain the summed value even when either of the first two box values are deleted.
For example, say i have box A1=10, B1=40, and C1= SUM of A1 & B1 (so C1=50). Easy enough, but where im lost is that i want to be able to delete the value of either A1 or B1 and then have C1 still = 50, so then i can input another value into either A1 or B1 to continue to add to C1.
In column G of my excel 2003 worksheet named: Data, I have a list of people's first names. These names were extracted from an external database.
Some of the first names actually contain peoples second names or partner's names.
Example:
John & Jill
James and Sue
Kerrie-Anne
Joanna Lyn
I need a macro to please delete people's second name.
So in the example above I need to keep all names that are joined by: & or and or - (such as John & Jill, James and Sue, Kerrie-Anne).
Also, in the example above I need to delete all names that are joined by a <space> (such as Joanna Lyn).
I have an excel spreadsheet that contains about 1000 rows and about 25 columns. The file contains employee information, name, id, cost center, department, title, FTE...etc. Column E contains the cost center which is a 7 digit number (i.e. 8001234). Within the 1000 rows of data there somewhere to 70 cost centers. I would like to delete all rows where a cost center does not match a list of 13 cost centers. I'm thinking I need some kind of array where I type in the 13 cost centers in the code, but I'm unsure of the syntax within VBA.
Also, the second step of the code I'm looking for is to delete all columns except for Column B, E, J and L. Those, by the way are Name, Cost Center, Job Title and FTE.
I am using this code to populate column J with a date when yes is selected in colum I.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
With Target
If .Column = Columns("I").Column Then
If .Value = "Yes" And IsEmpty(.Offset(, 1)) Then .Offset(, 1) = Date
End If
End With
End Sub
However i also want any value entered in J to be deleted when No is selected.
I want to delete all rows in the column of the ActiveCell when the ActiveCell.value < 0.01. Could you tell me why the code below doesn't work? It deletes the right rows but keeps looping without stopping

Col = ActiveCell.Column
StopRow = Cells(Rows.Count, Col).End(xlUp).Row

I have some shapes on a worksheet that need deleting on change of a combo box. Unfortunately I'm unable to use the below code as not all the shapes need deleting, just the ones that are named in a table on another worksheet.
For Each s In ActiveSheet.Shapes

Next s
Also not all the shapes named in the table will be on the worksheet as this depends on what is selected from the combo box.
I have a macro that deletes rows. For some reason, the macro bombs out when the selection seems to be too big. Why is that?

I have a spreadsheet with thounsands of rows. Some of the rows I'd like to delete because thier values are below 5%. I wrote a VBA code, which primary function is to look for a cell and delete the row if the value is less than or equal to 5%. The code looks fine but I get an "Infinite Loop" anytime the first row value is not true. Below is the code,
