First need to create a "Text" Folder in your desktop, then try running the macro. It will create a number of text files inside the "Text" folder.. And they contain the used cells from each row. It's supposed to create 982 text files, with the text name referred to the first column. Problem is, if you try running it, it will only create around 53 text file

View 1 Replies View RelatedA database spits out a 42-column (A-AP) and 3,000+ row csv sheet of raw data with column headers. Frequently (due to improperly inputted information), there is a random line break in the middle of a cell, resulting in data that should be in columns Q (or R or S) - AP winding up in columns A thru Y (or Z or AA).
The only data that is consistent is in column AC.
Basically, I need to delete any blank rows and pull the incorrectly wrapped data up to complete the row where the split occurred.
Upon examination of the csv file in Word, there are instances of improperly placed paragraph marks (^p), which can easily be searched and replaced—in Word (by replacing each column A data with a unique character and the same data, deleting all paragraph marks and then replacing the unique character with a ^p.
Firstly, I'm not sure how to accomplish this same task in Excel and secondly, doing so brings the data into the proper rows but it doesn't fix the varying number of blank cells. Simply deleting blanks and shifting left doesn't work because the split often occurs in the middle of a cell which would require concatenating. But I would be ok deleting the latter part of the data so the columns align if need be.
In the attached example sheet, I highlighted the relevant data and what needs to be aligned. There is an ideal and an acceptable version in addition to the initial way the csv imports.

I have a template workbook and a macro that finds lines of data in a source workbook and copies parts of it to the template workbook. It then deletes left-over blank rows, leaving a summary section just below the last row. There is a formula in column C of the summary section that gets messed up slightly by the deleted rows, specifically a cell reference within the formula that refers to data on another sheet within the same workbook.
On the template the original formula is in cell C1667 of a sheet entitled "2014" and reads...
[Code] .....
After the macro is run, lets say that for argument sake, we end up with 13 rows of data that got copied across to the template, the data exists in rows 3-13 and excess rows have been deleted. The above formula now sits in cell C16, and reads....
[Code] .....
The last cell reference in the formula has not updated itself to row 13, I believe because it refers to another sheet.
I would like to add in a line of code at the end that will find which row the formula sits at in column C after excess rows have been deleted, and correct it, so that for this example, it would end up being this....
[Code] .....
The formula will always be in columns C but what row it ends up on will vary.

How can I code to create a copy of a worksheet in an excel file I am using a macro on, after the macro is done processing? In other words, when the macro completes processing, create a copy of the worksheet labelled "Output", and save it in a directory that the user chooses? Also, would it be possible to create a .pdf file?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm looking to create a new file from data in my table. I don't want to even imagine having to do this manually again...I'm optimistic there is a solution. All the data needed to create the file is in the table, but i need it stacked and organized in a weird way. It's almost to hard to explain...so I color coded an attachement that basically says it all. It's pretty much the same thing repeated over and over except the last 2 lines. It's just a really messed up organization. In the real version I need the new file in a new workbook. I'm extremely grateful to anyone who can automate this thing

Is it possible to create a macro that automatically saves a backup of the excel document in another desired location?
I have this formula:
Sub backupbutton()
Dim fname
fname = "D:" & Format(Now, "dd mmm yy hh mm") & ".xlsm"
ThisWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=fname
End Sub
But that just keeps on making multiple copies of the file rather than overwriting the backup in the D: location.
Also, that particular macro requires me to have to click on a button in order for it to work but I would prefer that it happens automatically when the original file is saved.

I have a text file which is attached as "rawdata". It contains records of something (let's call it temperature) at different times on different days. My goal is to display a graph of temperature versus time so that I can visually analyze trends. I have hundreds of these files, all of different lengths. it is very important that I automate this process as much as possible.
Detail: (Here I describe what I have done so far; if this is inefficient or unnecessary, feel free to tell me) I open Excel 2010, click File, Open, and select the file that I want to parse. It is a TXT file, so the Text Import Wizard comes up. For step one, I select Fixed Width. I select File Origin: MS-DOS (PC-8). On step 2 of the wizard, I create column break lines to place all dates in the far left column. The next column contains the first column of numbers before the first dash (-). The next column contains only the dash - I will later select "ignore this column" to eliminate them. The next column contains the time stamps. I continue adding column breaks in the wizard until all of the data are parsed into columns in the same manner.
In step 3, I format the first column as "date (DMY)". The columns with the dashes I select "do not import". Everything else is "general". I click "finish", and the resultant workbook is attached, called "import".
Now, as to what I want to do: I want to display the "temperatures" as a graph vs a date/time axis. The reason I find this difficult is because the temperatures and times are not in neat columns, but are in 4 columns that go in a left-to-right and top-to-bottom progression and are broken up every few lines. (I am interested only in numbers that are displayed immediately to the left of a time-stamp. Therefore, the "record #"s should be ignored. We can delete the rows that say "record #" if can be done automatically.)

I created the following macro by recording the macro and going through the steps manually, however I need to make some changes and can't seem to accomplish what I'm trying to do.
The Macro opens a master inventory file, creates a new line, and then links certain column cells in the inventory to corresponding places within the original form (the macro is executed from the original form once it's completed).
Problem is, the macro is written using the form "template" so whenever I save the template as the name of the unique item, it won't update the macro language as well.
What I'm trying to accomplish is when someone opens the template, the save immediately with a different file name, and once the form is completed and the macro is run, it's creating the new line in the inventory pointing to that specific file.
I thought somehow utilizing ThisWorkbook within the macro instead of explicitly using something like
"='[Control Sheets (JOHN TEST).xls]FUND SET_UP PG_1'!R2C3" would accomplish what I'm trying to do.
I am trying to create a master file, with a macro built in, that will allow multiple users to use it at once. The macro is to open a dilouge(sp sorry) box showing the contents of a specific folder, allow the user to selct one of the sheets, then copy and paste the set details from the hidden tab on this sheet (All sheets will be the same barring title), append the details to the master list in the first empty row.

FolderPath = "My Folder name here"
' Set the current directory to the the folder path.

I have an existing spreadsheet with a column of strings (actually VIN numbers). These numbers correllate to a bunch of text files, that can exist in one of three folders (UsernameDesktop1, 2, or 3) on my desktop. What I need the macro to do is:
1) get the filename from A2 (A1 is a heading row)
2) Find the appropriate text file in one of the three folders
3) Put the folder name into I2
4) Scan the text file for some strings, and copy some data that follows those strings into J2:O2 (I can handle programming this)
5) Close the text file
6) repeat above for the remainder of filenames (about 1800 files)
how can I combine the Formula =(SUM(A2:A100))/(SUM(B2:B100)) with setting a value of the cell D2?
What I want would look like this (in column C):
=(SUM(A2:A100))/(SUM(B2:B100)) with the condition that D2=0
=(SUM(A2:A100))/(SUM(B2:B100)) with the condition that D2=100
=(SUM(A2:A100))/(SUM(B2:B100)) with the condition that D2=200
=(SUM(A2:A100))/(SUM(B2:B100)) with the condition that D2=300
and so on.
The point is that the values A2 to A100 are dependent on the input value in D2.
This question would be much easier to get if I could copy paste my sheet for a look!This sheet is being coded for a test that will be taken repeatedly.
B1 to Z1 are various variables(1,2,3,4...25) while B2 to Z2 are the status of each variable(yes,no).AA2 gives me the accuracy of my test(14/26).I have used 2 countif formulas for this with a "/" in between.A1 asks current instance of test which is filled in A2(1st, 2nd, 3rd).
What I want to do is each time the user tries to change the param in A2, cell AA2 gets copied somewhere with the Test instance(Instance 1-14/25, Instance 2-12/25, Instance 3-20/25) so that I can make a dynamic bar graph out of it i.e. the bar graph tells me how I'm trending in my results inclusive of the last taken test.
I'm confused cos while I can make a cell pick up the value of another it takes the most current value with no...memory of the last test.
I 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.
