Extract And Use Information In A Comment Box
Jul 22, 2009My user has data in a comment in a cell that provides additional information about the data in the cell. He does not want to have to retype that information into another spreadsheet but wants it to automatically populate.
For example:
Column Headings: A1 = Tardy; B1 = Absent; C1 = Detention
Data in the following cells: A2 = 2; B2 = 1; C2 = 3
Comments are: A2 = Smith - 10 min, Jones - 5 min; B2 = Adams - Sick; C2 = Brown - Talking, Green - Talking, Gray - Sleeping
He wants another workbook that has a column for each name in three separate tables, 1 each for Tardy, Absent, and Detention. He wants the Tardy table to show 10 min under Smith, 5 min under Jones, etc.
Is this at all possible? I will say that I tried to get him to change his spreadsheet so that he inputs the data into the three separate tables then summarizes it in the sheet he presently has but he cannot change the original sheet. It is a shared sheet by many of our office locations and changing it is not an option.
Creating A Yearly Database File Using Information In Daily File
Feb 7, 2008I would like to automatically update a 'yearly' database file with info from a file that is changed on a daily basis.
The daily file that i use has info like date, truck number, delivery stops, weight.
the database file has the similar headings.
at the end of each day this daily file is saved. I would like to have the info that is entered into the daily file automatically plugged into the yearly database file into the next available group of cells with respect to the salesperson.
This is kind of a generalization but i'm hoping to just get pointed in the right direction. If something like this involves vba then it will be beyond my ability and i'll have to do it manually, which is fine
Copy Contents Of Multiple Comment Boxes And Paste In Single Comment Box
Mar 13, 2014how to copy the contents of multiple comment boxes and paste in a single comment box.
The big picture is that I have a number of cells with numerical values in and text in comment boxes. I want to be able to click a button to copy the contents of the comment boxes and paste them, along with the numerical value from the cell, into a single comment box, ordered by highest to lowest value within the comment box, then delete the original cells and comments.
I am quite new to VBA but have been coping quite well so far with information of the web and analysing recorded macros.

Transferring Information From A Seperate File.
Dec 15, 2009I'll get straight to the point. I have a file with an (.ASC) extension that has information that I need in my workbook. The first problem is that in the .ASC file ...
a) there are french characters that don't translate into excel when I open it up
b) the date format is dd/mm/yy and excel doesn't seem to like this and only converts it as mm/dd/yy for those it can and the rest it leaves as text.
When I manual open the file problem b) disappears but if I use a macro problem b) pops up.
Right now I'm using this code to open the file

Macro Protection Using Information From External File?
Jun 21, 2014I was wondering if it is possible to protect a macro to be used only if a *.txt (for example) file wit some certain text is available. like a key to run hidden in a text. The file is situated in a company network, and i want to protect it from taking the file out of the company. I can do it to check for presence of a file - if the file is not available - the macro exits. but if someone break the password that is protecting the code will see the blocking point immediately. this is why i want to use a key....

Jan 21, 2009My company use a program called Bartender which is a barcode printing program. Bartender has the ability to extract information from an Excel sheet which is really useful and prevents repetetive keying in of information. We have found that if you simply print the Excel sheet when Bartender next uses the file it says it is corrupt and simply copying the data into a new spreadsheet and resaving it as the same name does not resolve this issue.
View 3 Replies View RelatedFormula To Pull Information From Database File
Apr 26, 2012I need building a formula to pull information from a database file. The purpose is to try to interpret the data so that I can analyze a time period along with it's content. I don't know how best to explain it. Basically I have a table and I want it to pull information based on 3 criteria: time, type, and total. I would like for the formula to identify a time frame, then identify a type, and then take the totals and add them together.
Time / Type / Total
11:31 /1 / 4
11:43 / 1 / 6
12:04 / 2 / 1
12:31 / 1 / 3
Time / Type / Total
11:30 - 12:00 / 1 / 10
12:00 - 12:30 / 1 / 3
The top is the database and the bottom is basically what I want to happen on the other table. Pretend the / and dividers for each column.
Copy Information From Variable Workbooks To Master File Then Loop?
Apr 30, 2014What I have is a master file that needs to pull info from other sources (a simple copy and paste)
those files are called Inventory_xxxx.xlsm . Inside the master file, there are cells with the number of the inventory.
What i need is a way to tell excel to check what number is in the cell, open the files with that number, get the info from the files and paste it back in the master file... and the part that i consider the trickiest, a way to loop it.
For example, lets say i have 2248 in cell A10, it should open Inventory_2248.xlsm copy the contents from cell N4, O4, P4, Q4, R4 and S4(Inventory File) into N10,R10,S10,T10 and U10 (Master file) respectively then in A11, there could be a 2250 so it should open the 2250 file get the info, paste it and so on.....
Now I don't even know if this is do-able or just impossible, been fiddling with various codes to no avail.
User Defined Function To Extract Information From Closed File

Structure file which i attached herewith include all the cost center details. normally it is a big file contain more than 1000 cost center details. Structure File.xlsx If i want a cost center name for some cost center code, i have to open this file and find a specific name.
What i plan is develop a macro function called "CC".

But the problem is i don't want to open the structure file, without open that file, when i type this function i need a result.
Consolidating Certain Information Within Many Data Files Into Single Tab In Master File
Feb 14, 2013I'm a relatively competent VBA user to a macro recorder and basic editing of custom code level but fall short with writing custom code and don't have much used or proven code I can copy from.
Problem: I'd like to automate a process whereby consolidating certain information within many data files (possibly up to 500) into a single tab within a master file.
At the moment there are only a few data files which are manually consolidated by way of manual links but going forward it will increase significantly, hence the need to automate.
I need to consolidate the following 5 cells from each data file A1, A2, A5, A7, A8 (vertical) into a single row within the master file across 5 columns (horizontal), i.e. each data file will populate 1 row in the master file, one below the other. If there are 500 data files there will be 500 rows of data in the master file.
The data files will be saved in a central location on our server and the master file will sit outside this folder, possibly in a subfolder.
Something which would be handy is a link in the master file to each data file, i.e. if I click on a data row in the master file it would jump to the source data file.
Transfers (copy/paste) Information From One Master File To Several Other Individual Files
Apr 16, 2009I have a macro that transfers (copy/paste) information from one master file to several other individual files. The macro works, but I would like
to enhance it by have it spit out errors in the process as follows: if cell A42 on file VP1.xls is not equal to Cell C35 on file Masterfile.xls then make cell E2 ERROR and fomat E2 bold-red, otherwise do nothing. The macro should continue regardless, I just want it to spot errors.
I think this is pretty simple is just a matter of inserting an IF formula in the macro which is something i don't know how to do yet.

Write Information Into New Row In Different Sheet But Keeps Overwriting Old Information
Apr 6, 2013Basically I am trying to create a worksheet in which everytime I input information into Sheet 1, it is copied into Sheet 2. I want to have each entry in succession on Sheet 2 such that my first entry would be on Row 2, second on Row 3, third on Row 4, etc. However, everytime I put something new in Sheet 1, it just overrides the information in Sheet 2.
Basically I type in ticket sales in sheet 1, it calculates the prices and keeps a transaction log in sheet 2. But everytime I do a new ticket sale, it just overwrites the previous transaction witht he new transaction information. I've pasted my VBA below:
Sheet 1 VBA:
Code:
Option Explicit
'Form level variables - used in more than one event
Dim intAdult As Integer
Dim intStudentSenior As Integer
Dim intBalcony As Integer
Dim intChild As Integer
Dim sngAmountDue As Single

Sheet 2 code:
Private Sub cmdSummary_Click()
'Declare Variables
Dim intCount As Integer
Dim i As Integer
Dim intAdult As Integer
Dim intStudentSenior As Integer

Pulling Information From A Column Based On Information In A Second Column?
Jan 27, 2014Imagine I have 2 columns of information that look like this:
Column A
Column B
AS
Dog
AS
Cat
AS
Hamster
FT
Fish
These are my key columns. The letters are initials of people and the animals are the pets they're responsible for.
Now, I have 3 more columns that look like this:
Column D
Column E
Column F
These columns can go on for hundreds of rows.
What I want to do is pull out the information from columns D, E and F where the initials and pet match those in the key list, then paste that elsewhere (say to columns J, K and L).
So, for instance, the first entry would be copied across because, according to the key list, AS is responsible for a Dog, but the bottom entry for AS wouldn't because he was looking after a fish, and that pet isn't listed as one of his animals in the key list (Fish is listed alongside FT). Likewise, the entry for AH wouldn't come across because AH doesn't appear on the key list at all.
If Comment Then End
Apr 25, 2006I am trying to to get it to work so that if there is a comment already in the cell then it would skip to the next macro. Here is what I am trying:
'Mgr Voids
If Range("F9").Comment.Text = True Then End
ElseIf Range("F9").Value > 50 Then
MyInput = Application.InputBox("You Must Give A Reason For The Amount Of Mgr Voids For " & Range("F6"))
ElseIf MyInput = "" Then End
ElseIf MyInput = False Then End
ActiveSheet. Unprotect ("13792468")
ActiveSheet.Range("F9").AddComment
Range("F9").Comment.Visible = False
Range("F9").Comment.Text Text:="" & Chr(10) & (MyInput) & Chr(10) & ""
ActiveSheet.Protect ("13792468")
End If
The first part (If Range("F9").Comment.Text = True Then End) obviously doesn't work because I have no clue how it supposed to be... I was just hoping to get lucky. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Sheet1:
John 31
Joey 22
Josh 28
Jane 24
Sheet2:
Joey Smith 22
Josh Morgan 27
Jane White 24
John Doe 32
Lookup Sheet1's each Column A cell on Sheet2.
For example, Sheet1 A1 is John, Sheet2 A4 is John Doe, since John Doe contains John, it's a match. Then compare Sheet1 B1 and Sheet2 B4, 31 and 32 don't match. This is what i need to find, then add a comment "Inconsistent" in a new column.
For example, Joey (Sheet1 A2) and Joey Smith (Sheet 1 A1) have same value 22 (Sheet1 B2 and Sheet2 B1). Then no need to add any comment.
