How To Find Middle Initial And Replace With Blank Cell

Aug 28, 2012

I have a listing with Middle Initials in column D. D also contains dates and Names. I want to remove the Middle Initials only. I need to do this without moving around cells. So a Find:="A", Replacement:="" type of situation. Right now I have 26 two line entries to take care of this, but I know it has to be easier and use less lines. (Trying to consolidate code for a better look).

Here is some of what I have (that works, but is long):

Code:
'
' Replace Middle Initial from Prod Sheet
'
Cells.Replace What:="A", Replacement:="", LookAt:=xlWhole, SearchOrder _
:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=True, SearchFormat:=False, ReplaceFormat:=False

[Code]...

I thought that I might be able to do something like this, but I can't get it to work.

Code:

Dim Alpha as Variant
Alpha = Array("A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F", "G", "H", "I", "J", "K", "L", "M", "N", "O", "P", "Q", "R", "S", "T", "U", "V", "W", "X", "Y", "Z")
For ABet = 1 to Cells(Rows.Count, "D").End(xlUP).Row
If Range(ABet) = Alpha Then Range(ABet) = ""
Next ABet

' or I thought maybe this would work.

Cells.Replace What:=("A", "L", "R", "M") Replacement:="", LookAt:=xlWhole, SearchOrder _ :=xlByRows, MatchCase:=True, SearchFormat:=False, ReplaceFormat:=False

' or I thought maybe this would work with the variables.

If Range("B" & ABet) = Alpha Then Range("A" & ABet) = "" None of them worked though.

VBA Initial Array Value

Jan 21, 2007

I have declared arrays for the variables in the code segment below. There is however a problem with the way I've initialized C and F as I the compiler stops C(1) and displays the message: "Compile Error: Expected Array." For the calculation to proceed correctly, the first values of the C(i) and F(i) arrays need to be one and zero respectively.

Is there a way to initialize these variables to these values?

Art

C(1) = 1
F(1) = 0
G(1) = Y(1)
B(i) = C(i - 1) + Q
C(i) = (1 + B(i) ^ (-1)) ^ (-1)
F(i) = 1 / (1 + B(i))
G(i) = F(i) * G(i - 1) + (1 - F(i)) * Y(i)
arrKAL1(i)= G(i)

Hyperlink Initial Path

Aug 14, 2008

When inserting a hyperlink in an Excel cell, the default pathname for the new link is always the current pathname of the workbook. After navigating to a distant pathname and inserting a hyperlink, inserting the next hyperlink in the next cell starts all over again at the current path.

Is there a method of telling Excel to start looking in z:\ABC instead of the current path? This would eliminate navigating through the entire path for each link.

A macro that handles the hyperlink and puts up a navigation window or something like that would be ok.

I have a date on the top left hand corner of my excel sheet. I want to add exactly one month to that date in a vertical list (without using micros)

Oct 21, 2009

We currently use Excel to make reports of data obtained in field surveys. General data is repetitive throughout report. We have a title page, general particulars (GP) page, table of contents then data table pages. Each data page has info from general particulars page. i.e project name, date, inspector etc. Right now some cells of data table pagess have formulars pointing to applicble cells on GP page.

Presently I am designing a userform to input title and GP page data. So far OK.

Dropdown Based On A Filter In Initial Table

Mar 8, 2012

I need to create a drop down menu where the contents are based on a separate table that has been filtered dependent on a choice made in the initial table.

In Sheet "Bookings" I have a list of lesson times for a riding school.

One of the columns is labelled "Customer experience" and contains either "Advanced","Intermediate" or "Novice"

A second column is designed to assign the name of the horse used by that rider during the lesson.

Horse details can be found a second sheet called Horses.

The horses are rated "Advanced" can only be ridden by Advanced Customers, whilst Intermediate ones can be ridden by both "Intermediate" and "Advanced" customer. Novice horses can be ridden by anyone.

Ideally I would like to be able to include a drop down in the Bookings table that contains the name of available horses.

Remove Initial Space From Column Of Entries

Jan 5, 2004

After copying certain data into an excel worksheet, all entries in a column begin at 2nd space of each cell which I don't want.

I can manually backspace each entry to the first space of each cell. But I cannot backspace all entries at once even if I try Find then put in a space for find and then in replace leave blank.

Autofill: Replicate The Formula Exactly As In The Initial Cell

May 3, 2007

I have two formulas which I'm using: =180*(120.5-1)/119.5 and =90*(60.5-1)/59.5
In the first example, I want to replicate the formula across row 1, but with the value '1' incrementing by 1 each time, upto 240.

In the second example I want the '1' value to also increase by 1 for each cell down column B, up to 120. when I try dragging the formula down or across, I am only able to replicate the formula exactly as in the initial cell (ie. the '1' doesn't change). I've tried using the $ symbol, but this doesn't work. I don't fancy doing this manually for a total of 360 cells!

Return To Initial Cell After Running Macro

Oct 24, 2007

I've a workbook with 3 tabs with names "tab1, tab2, difference" and I've a macro that calculates tab1-tab2 and puts the results in tab "difference" This macro runs every time I open the workbook or every time dataset is refreshed on any tab.
everything works great but i've following issue.

let's say my cursor is in tab2 & i refresh/update dataset on tab2 which will trigger macro to update values in tab "difference".. this is good. but, soon after macro runs & updates tab "difference", cursor is no more in tab2 but in tab "difference" this is OK if I've 1 or 2 or few tabs but i've 25 tabs & the user has to go back to the initial tab everytime dataset is updated on any tab. Is there a way for the macro to recognize where the cursor initiallly was & run the macro & place the cursor back to the initial tab?

Capture Changes To Userform Selections When Compared To Initial Inputs

Jul 18, 2014

I'm trying to capture if any changes are made to a UserForms selections.

I initially load all the data from the database when the first user form is initialized, see code below

[Code]....

Once I have selected the corresponing record from the combobox , in this case Planning Number, then select the command button which runs the code below

[Code] .....

Now the user form frmProcessEngineeringTemp is opened, it now populates all the comboboxes, textboxes and option buttons in this form based on the planning number choosen from initial user form

[Code] ....

Once the user has finished with the user form the information from the form is passed to a worksheet via a command button. If changes to the user form selections were made i need to capture what has changed (if anything), from what was initially loaded into the second user form (frmProcessEngineeringTemp).

I have seen numerous posts from various sites that discuss Change and Exit events from a Class module and many instances where each combobox, textbox and option button is hard coded to capture changes.

Being that I have captured my initial inputs from the database thru the myVar 1 thru 40, can this be put into a string array and the current inputs/selections in the frmProcessEngineeringTemp put into a second array then compare 1 to another looking for difference, then output the differences to a worksheet for tracking purposes. At the same time if changes were indeed made i would increment the Revison record by 1.

A Formula That Will Sum The Total Of Different Cells Based On An Initial Variable

Feb 17, 2010

Im trying to make a formula that lets you type in your current level, and then calculates how much XP you have remaning untill you reach the max level.

The way the forumla would need to work would be something like this:

(E10) Enter Current Level:
(F10) 37 (which is my current level)
F11 - would then add cells from C37 to C70 (calculating the total amount of XP required) and then display in (F11)

Being able to say if, then is far to cpmplicated for me in excel. I'm just trying to make this for a bit of fun and am sure one of you talented people can easily do this.

Add Dynamically Vertical Line To Chart Without User Intervention After Initial Setup Of Workbook?

Mar 21, 2014

I am trying to add a vertical line dynamically to a chart. What I mean is I have a chart that will have a line type chart on it and I want to add a vertical line to it based on the output of one cell in that same workbook. I am making this workbook for use by end-users so I can't ask the end-users to make a bunch of modifications to the sheet or or chart. What I do has to just work when they use the workbook.

The line chart has an X axis of time and a Y axis of items sorted. (This is the part of the chart I have done already.) I want to add a vertical line fed from a cell which will have a time fed from a cell on the workbook. For example the line chart goes from 9:00 to 16:00 and the vertical line might be at 13:00. The cell feeding the vertical line is subject to change based on the other inputs on the workbook so that's why I say the vertical line has to be dynamic as the vertical line could be anywhere between 9:00 to 16:00 or it might even be that I can't place the vertical line because the feeding cell is outside the range of 9:00 to 16:00.

I have seen a number of ways to do this but none that are dynamic and automatic and don't require end user to adjust the workbook to make the vertical line at the correct on the time scale.

Remove Heading Row In The Middle

Aug 19, 2012

I have code that copies data from one tab, called "Report" - to another tab called "Master". The data in the "Report" tab is actually 2 reports. Both reports have the exact same format but are separated by 1 or 2 blank rows and a Heading row. Before I run the code, I have to delete the blank rows and middle heading row.

I was wondering if there is code that could find these rows and delete them.

The row that I delete has the following values (which are headings): Col 1, 2, 3. The populated columns are A - L

Capture Just Last Name In A Cell Containing First Last And Sometimes Middle

Jan 10, 2013

I want to extract just the last name from a cell that contains the full name and put just the last into a seperate cell.

WHAT I AM DOING: i copy the contents of a internal screen onto a spreadsheet that i use to check various peices of info and calculations. when i save I like to save my sheet with the last name and then acct number. The internal system screen combines the customers names into a single cell. Right now i have to type the last name into a new cell and have a simple save macro that concatenates that last name with the acct number and saves it into the appropriate folder.

The field i am pulling from is always formatted with FIRST NAME then MI (IF PROVIDED) and then LAST NAME. So when i dump the screen contents into excel A20 may be MIKE SMITH, or MIKE T SMITH. so i need something that looks backwards in the cell and stops at the first space and dumps SMITH into another cell of my choosing (B1 in this case)

Find The 3 Leters Only When There In The Middle Of A Name

Nov 26, 2007

I have a spread sheet that the user enters 3 characters in B2 of a name, then the code will determine out of 35,000 rows with names in Column B how many match the 3 consecutive chracters, all other rows that dont match will hide.

My issue is, that the code seams to find the 3 leters only when there in the middle of a name, and will not identify all other simularities where the 3 letters are at the begining of the name, or at lerast not in all cases.

I adjusted the "Set tempCell = .Columns(2)." to (1) and that worked great but caused other problems.

lastrow = .Cells(Rows.Count, 2).End(xlUp).Row
Set tempCell = .Range("B:B").Find(what:=Left(.Range("B2").Value, 3), After:=.Range("B2"), _
LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:=False)
If tempCell Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "Not found"
Exit Sub
Else
Set foundCell = tempCell
Range(.Range("B3"), foundCell.Offset(-1, 0)).EntireRow.Hidden = True

End If
Do
Set tempCell = .Columns(2).FindNext(After:=foundCell)
If foundCell.Row >= tempCell.Row Then Exit Do
Range(foundCell.Offset(1, 0), tempCell.Offset(-1, 0)).EntireRow.Hidden = True
Set foundCell = tempCell
Loop
Range("A" & foundCell.Row + 1 & ":A" & lastrow).EntireRow.Hidden = True
End With
End Sub
