I have an autoshape with a text box in it. It is one of those "scroll" shapes. I want to be able to edit the text in the box with VBA, but I don't know how to call it because I can't seem to find the properties for it. I tried recording a macro to do it, and it called it:
View 5 Replieshow can I open a .txt file with vba and replace alll "," with ";" ?
I have tried experimenting with LEFT, RIGHT functions. I want to edit a text string using a delimiter. For example: "NOS|NOS". I have a column of 256 rows of such entries, a name; the pipe; a name. I need to be able to strip out one side or the other using that pipe as the delimiter, leaving only "NOS". With 256 rows of items with this format - the length of the text string will vary.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI was wondering if it was possible for a macro to edit a file by opening each .txt file, searching for the word "Reference", and then replace it with the word "Ref". Then save and close the text file.
There are no delimiters in the text files.
I used the macro editor to create a "simple" macro to edit 7 rows of text. The steps were basic and simple - F2 key, backspace about 25 times, and down arrow then repeat these 3 steps 6 more times. The macro I got gave me the result of the very first cell as I was recording the macro. I think I remember the old Lotus 1-2-3 macro text - {edit}{backspace}{down}. Wish it were still that simple.

I want excel to filter out the header lines and output the file with the data lines only then outputs these in a new file.
I also want it to read the values from column 72 to 75 and subtract 6 from them then output them again to the same new file.

Open "d:/intouch/0502SPSS.LOG" For Input As #1
Dim i As Integer
Dim lines(9999) As String
i = 0
Do While Not EOF(1)
Line Input #1, z
i = i + 1
If Mid(z, 1, 1) = "H" Then
i = i - 1
ElseIf Mid(z, 1, 1) = "S" Then.................................
the problem is that the new file is generated but it is always empty
I have an xl doc in which one of the sheet's column A changes value every 1 hour...
What I would like to know is.. if there is a method in which i can copy these values from column A to a text file every hour...
The range of cells containing values in Column A also varies every hour.
Also, the old values in the text file needs to get deleted before the new values are updated every hour.
Have a macro that copies a formula from each of 100 workbooks to a new workbook. I want to display these formulas as text and want a macro or someway to display these cells as text. I have tried to record a macro that presses the F2 key, the home key and the apostrophe. This works for the one cell but provides the following macro that does not work for anyother cell.
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = _

I have a datafeed program that offers multiple DDE link types to retrieve different types of data. After pasting the DDE links into Excel, all works well. However... To modify the links means manually editing upto 12 different array formulas located on different pages then pressing Ctrl + Shift + Enter after each to change the data source being analysed.
I found that I can manually copy and paste a few characters into each linked array formula, Ctrl+Shift+Enter but it needs to be by Macro referring to a couple cells (Say A1, A2) containing the variables that alter the data source being linked to.
I need to make a VBA Macro that refers to these two cells containing text, and modify the 12-odd linked array formulas.
eg. {=SUB33|getlocation!'N,pg,9,vp,A,30'}
In this example Linked Array formula, the bolded PG and 9 would be variables pulled from cell A1 and A2.
All other components of the array formulas stay unmodified, it is only the "pg,9" text that needs to change in each linked array.
I want to use exel to align two texts. Anyways, I am looking for a way to take the text on cell A2 to the end of the text on cell A1, and delete A2, shifting the other cells up. Is it possible to do it by using a shortcut key?

Is there a way to setup a spreadsheet so data that has been entered cannot ne deleted or edited, and only the last field in the column can be accessible? So if I have info entered in a1, a2, a3, b1, b2, b3, no one can edit or delete them, and can only add to a4 and b4? Will I need to write a macro for this or is it something I can do with certain settings?

My footer should be printed at the bottom of my paper as shown above. But, as expected, when I change margins of page or even change the printing preference, like best print to draft print or like that, it goes changing like this:

My purpose is to give my endusers a workbook with a macro in it which applies changes to existing workbooks on their computers. I want the enduser to select each workbook to apply the changes and have the macro capture the names of the workbooks so they can verify that all of the appropriate workbooks have been changed.
I’m trying to change two types of data: (1) text, (2) formulas.
Here's what little I have, but not much is working.

I've been trying to resolve an issue with the userform that i created. It adds new records to the sheet "Data" but i can't seem to add a search/edit function to it.
It could be either a combobox with the existing Project Id's or a text box + a control button, so a user could enter Project Id and hit a button.

Is it possible to edit multiple =VLOOKUP formulas to add in a "[range lookup]" = FALSE without editing each one individually? I was going to use a find and replace for the "col_index_num" and add the FALSE to the end of that, but in this case my "col_index_num"s vary too much.

Heres a strange thing, My latest version of a spreadsheet i have design has got a small problem. When clicking on a cell, nothing appears in the edit window, and when you double click on the cell to edit the contents the data disappears.
This only happens on one sheet within a workbook of 7 pages. The werid thing is that it does not happen on the version before
Any ideas how this could of happened and is there a fix?

Double click - enter and F2 -enter both will do this, but I'd rather not be doing this for 200 rows every time I have to use it. Is there a way to touch all of these rows without VBA? The spreadsheet was built by our IT department years ago and is rather fickle. I can't risk interrupting the code or I end up having to close it and start over. It's password protected.
Text to columns doesn't work.
i have a worksheet that gets data from web - its automated, but the website goes through a tunnel - with security - requires username and password
the Query Runs ok and smooth but i have to login manually by right clicking on a table where the query is and selecting "Edit Query" so i can login, excel vba doesnt save passwords for that part...
one way i find it possible to automate that part too would be to use maybe like the sendkeys statement to pop up the context menu from right clicking the mouse button, or like the options button on the keyboard.
I found this one:
[Code] .....
It works but the context menu comes exactly from where the current mouse position is..
I needed it to do the right click on a specific range in the worksheet (where the web query is)..
