Removing Telephone Numbers From A Cell?
Jun 1, 2013I have a limited amount of VBA knowledge. My limited knowledge is based on solving my problems by looking at the answers already on this site and trying to adapt it to my needs. Here goes:
I import a list of address and telephone numbers (100+) into excel. example - Cell A1 contains "10 downing street, whitehall, london, SW1A 2AA 01234 567890", sometimes there is another space after the number, sometimes there is no telephone number. I want to remove the telephone number at the end if it is there. Have searched the forums have have come up with the follow solution:
1. import list to column A
2. copy and paste Trim to column B
3. copy values in column B and paste to column A
4. delete column B
5. remove the end numbers
6. copy and paste Trim to column B
7. copy values in column B and paste to column A
8. delete column B
9. remove the end numbers
It looks like this in code:
Sub testa()
'select (=TRIM(A1)) formula and paste to sheet
Sheets("Formulas").Select
Columns("B:B").Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Selection.Copy
Sheets("Sheet4").Select
Columns("B:B").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
[Code]...
'copy values of column B to Column A and delete column B
Columns("B:B").Select
Selection.Copy
Columns("A:A").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
Columns("B:B").Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Selection.ClearContents
Range("A1").Select
[Code]...
'copy values of column B to Column A and delete column B
Columns("B:B").Select
Selection.Copy
Columns("A:A").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
Columns("B:B").Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Selection.ClearContents
Range("A1").Select
End Sub
I know this is a long winded way around (still chuffed I worked it out by myself though!). If I merge all the macros into one marco it continually loops and deletes everything in the cells and I have to press escape to stop it.
My questions are:
1. Why, when I merge all the macros doesnt it work the same as individual macros? (I would like to know for future reference).
2. Its there a better way to remove the telephone numbers?
Insert Spaces In Telephone Numbers
Aug 24, 2007I have a column that contains all telephone numbers without any spaces - 01234567890
I need to have at least one space inserted anywhere in the number i.e. 0 1234567890 or 01234 567890.
Cleanup Telephone Numbers Have Some Text Data?
Aug 16, 2014I have some cells which contain telephone number and some text data. They look like this.
(713) 555-4600 (Work)
(713) 555-4620 (Home)
(832) 555-4610 (John's Phone)
I need to strip out the text data and just display the phone number as follows
(713) 555-4600
(713) 555-4620
(832) 555-4610
Inserting State Names Based On Telephone Numbers
Oct 22, 2007I have a large data set (excel file), of "Names", "Phone Numbers", and i need to sort this based on the States that correspond with the Phone numbers. The states currently do not exist in the spreadsheet, so my current problem is trying to insert those states into the spreadsheet.
There are over 100 area codes in the data set, so i'll likely have to write a large "If" statement in VB to run through them all, but that shouldnt be a problem.
NAME, PHONE, STATE
Bleh, 555-555-5555, =ChkState(B2)
I've been playing around with the VB Stuff in Excel and this is what i've come up with for trying to insert the State field
Function ChkState(pVal As String) As Long
Dim AreaCode As String
Dim StateAbrv As String
AreaCode = Left(pVal, 3)
If AreaCode = "201" Then
StateAbrv = "Test201"
ElseIf AreaCode = "203" Then
StateAbrv = "Test203"
ElseIf AreaCode = "555" Then
StateAbrv = "Test555"
Else
StateAbrv = "0"
End If
MsgBox StateAbrv
End Function
I'm fairly new to this VB stuff, my main problem stems from trying to insert the "StateAbrv" back into the Cell for the spreadsheet.

Telephone Dialing Code
Jan 2, 2008This has definitely been done before, but I am not sure if it has been done through Excel/VBA.
I have a 9 or 10 digit telephone number, preceded by a zero and what I want to do is get Excel to figure out the combinations of text characters that will allow me to have a text phone number.
For Example:
0-800-43573375 is the same as 0-800-HELPDESK
Auto Formating
Dec 1, 2008I run an online store where all the product details are handled by a .CSV file and naturally all the information has to be exact or it won't work at all especially UPC codes and product codes. However whenever I open the .CSV file to edit anything it auto formats several bit of information including several UPCs and product codes that begin with one or more 0's. This among many other problem I have had are all caused by excel's auto formating "tool" and I find it of absolutely no use. Is there any way at all to disable this "tool" so it will stop messing with my data every time I need to make a product change? (I have tried using the '0 trick but when I save the file and open it again later all the '0s are gone again)

MOD+ROW Conditional Formating
May 18, 2009I have an excel document that has one columb (I) of cells that changes color depending on a specific date (columb h) . The cells that have conditional formating to change the row color based on where it is ( =MOD(ROW(),2)=1), stays blank and the proper color until columb A is filled in. The others show up red. How would I code/format the lines that aren't included in the conditional formating to always show white when no value is entered in columb a.

Conditional Formating A Row
Jul 20, 2007how to use the conditional format tool, but now the company i designed the spreadsheet for, wants me to implement a change. I'm attacking a copy of the spreadsheet so you can see the problem more easily. Now what I've been asked todo is the following.
1. When the stock quantity (Column H) goes below the re-order level (Column K), they want the entire row to change font colour from blue to red. Now I know how i can change the colour of one cell, like ive done in the example, but I'm not sure how to change the entire row colour. If this can be done with conditioning formating then great, but if not then i'm stuck, and relying on your generosity in helping me out.

Conditional Formating In 2003
Sep 11, 2008This thread:
http://www.mrexcel.com/forum/showthr...itional+format
Asks almost exactly the question I have, but I can't make heads or tails out of the answers, I'm guessing becasue I have Excel 2003 and not 2007 as mentioned in the replies.
In column "A" I have a number; column "B" the formula =A1 copied on down and in column "C" either a 1 or 2 or a 3.
If the number in column "C" is a 1 then the font in the same cell in Column "B" should be black, 2 Blue and 3 Red.
I'm thinking this should be very simple, but so far it's not turning out that way. )-:
Formating With A Date And Text
Jan 9, 2009I would like to format a cell so when i enter a six digit number, such as 123456 it would appear starting with a QW then the year, month and day in the format of yymmdd and them the six digit number so it would appear as QWYYMMDD123456, or since today is 01/09/09 is would be QW090109123456
I would like the yymmdd field to be taken from the main location where the date is entered and the QW can be in another field so when I go to another blank field and enter a six digit number, for example 123456 it will be changed to QW090108123456. I hope you can follow this and that I explained it in a matter that is understood.
