Any way to get the name of a program. I saw in the forum that we have a code to get the name of all programs that are running, but I would like to have the name of only one program. Can I do that?
something like this:
I have the ms outlook open right now, the title bar is "Inbox - MyPersonalEmail - Microsoft Outlook", can I get that name in a variable? there is any code for this?
Why the heck every time I enter in to the "edit text" area of the chart title box in a chart in Excel 2010 and type "=B27" (without the quotation marks, and understanding the contents of "B27" has the text I wish to display) does this idiot thing simply display "=B27" (again, without the quotation marks)???

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a variable called HTMLSource that contains the entire source code of a webpage. Within the code are snippets like this:

Column M:
##/##/#### | Variable Length Text-####
Example:
01/06/2014 | Daniel Trimble-4048
I need to parse out the different parts of Column M.
In Column R -- "Close Date", I'm successfully using:
=LEFT(M2,FIND(" | ",M2)-1)
...to extract the close date of the donation.
In Column S, I want to list the donor name--which is all of the text after " | ", and before the "-".
I don't need anything after the hyphen, and fortunately in this data, no one's name has a hyphen in it.
The Close Date is working fine for the LEFT and FIND functions, but for the life of me, I can't seem to get MID to work for the variable-length text. The text will always start in the same position -- 14, as the date and delimiter are standardized. And the last 5 characters of the text are not variable in length, so they can be cut out completely.
How do I use MID to extract everything starting at position 14, and stopping 5 characters short of the end of the text?
I am trying to make a calculation using variable text.
My outcome cell is D3 and my two variable cells are C3 and F3. In C3 I want to be able to insert a staff members name, of which we have 6 different members of staff. In F3 i need to insert the week number which runs 1 through 6. The outcome is the individuals place on the week roster which needs to be a number between 1-6 inclusive. SO basically if F3=1 & D3=J.SMITH then I need D3 to equal 1 keepng in mind that if F3 & D3 have 6 possible variables.
I'm trying to reverse engineer a spreadsheet (see attached) and apply the data table to my own spreadsheet. The inspiration spreadsheet (attached) utilizes a 2 variable data table and conditional formatting, where the cells are formatted based on their value in relation to a variable called "Gross". So the rules look something like this:
Cell Value Between 0 and Gross-1
Cell Value > Gross
Cell Value = Gross
Cell Value < 0
Graded Color Scale Minimum ="<385000" Maximum =">385000"
I assume the Gross is calculated as 25% * 350,000 = 87,500. The hard coded value of 385000 is actually incorrect, because it's based on a percentage of 10%... but I'll let that slide The resulting formatting of the data table would support the hypothesis that "Gross" = 87,500. However, when I reset the Conditional Formatting to reference another cell with the calculation result of 87,500 it completely throws off the formatting. I'm simply stumped as to how they are using the text "Gross" as a variable. How/where are such variables set so they can be used in conditional formatting?

I have a text variable MtgDate containing "25/03/2014"
I need to produce another text variable (to build into a file name) MtgDate1 with the text "2014-03-25"
I was going to use the Substitute function to replace the "/" with a "-" then Mid to juggle the dd-mm-yyyy to yyyy-mm-dd but at the moment I can't even find the right syntax for the Substitute.
Got as far as:
[Code] .....
but this just sets MtgDate1 as "=Substitute(MtgDate, " / ", " - ") ie reduces the double quotes to single ones.
There is an text string and I need to copy it to Windows clipboard to have a chance to use it later anywhere by Ctrl+V.

If you know the autoshape number, it is easy to retrieve any caption text but is there a way to retrieve the text from any autoshape without knowing its number.
Dim ASText As String
ActiveSheet.Shapes("AutoShape 43").Select
ASText = Selection.Characters.Text
This will place the text in AutoShape 43 into variable ASText.
I need the code to get the text from any autoshape I click on reguardless of what its number is.
I use a lot of autoshapes on a worksheet as command buttons. Sometimes, the macro code is identical for many buttons with the exception of what the autoshapes text is. This text is the variable the macro needs. It would alow me to use one macro instead of sometimes 30 or more.
I want to select a cell that contains a job number, use the text from that cell as the new file save as name (got the file creation part sorted out) and then continue from there to go back and create a hyperlink in the original cell to the newly generated spreadsheet. I know it involves variables, have tried things like currentcell.value but can't get what I want.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI can't figure out how to set up conditional formatting to let me know if the value of a text cell is NOT X or Y. In other words, the only appropriate responses are X or Y (or Y or N or whatever the case may be) and if it's NOT one of those two letters, I want to apply conditional
formatting. Also, will it accept either upper or lower case (I'm fine with it either way).

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a workbook that is being used by users with both "," and "." as decimal separator. This is working all fine, except for one cell, where I need the number output to be displayed with two decimals. See formula below:
="Open at " & TEXT(+OHL!J$13+OHL!H$15,"0.00") & " and Go"
This example does not work with "," decimal settings.
Is there any different way to force two decimals in a text string, except for TEXT (where the format given in itself limits the cross decimal separator functionality)?

I'm currently trying to get a Index Match function that finds a cell with given text in it, then returns a value that corresponds to a cell with that same text plus the word 'Sum'.

Is there an easy way to do this?
to plug a variable (integer) into a text box / spin button as its default value.
I have a sheet set up for data entry where 1 row = 1 record = 1 page (of data arranged to print on a form supplied by an outside company). This data is then arranged on the second sheet (up to a maximum of 30).
If there are there are 15 records entered on the spreadsheet on a given day I am trying to use:
LastNum = Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(Range("G7:G37")) + 4
Where LastNum is the number of rows / entrys that have been typed into the first sheet and that will be printed by default.
how to get that variable into the text box / spin button control.
Hey I got a long String like this "[...] increase of x.xx% [...]".
I am trying to extract only the percentage number which can be of variable length, so maybe 900.99% or 9.99%.
I tried this formula:
=MID(G14,SEARCH("%",G14)-5,5)
but this one doesnt bring the right results as the percentage figure is often not exactly 5 characters long.
I want VBA to take an equation that has been entered into an worksheet cell as text and evaluate it. Here's a very simplified example that shows the concept:
Cell A1 may contain the text: "A * B + C"
I would like to do something on the order of this in VBA:
Sub Test()
Dim A As Integer, B As Integer, C As Integer
A = 2
B = 4
C = 6
MsgBox Evaluate(Workbooks("Book1").Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Value)
End Sub
Obviously, this doesn't work, but I want it to show a result of 14. The actual situation is much more complex, but it all comes down to being able to evaluate the text in a worksheet and recognize the variable names that are in it.
I am having a problem reading from a file. I am working with some old code. I am reading information in from a txt file. The information on the txt file is separated by commas on each line. My question is, how can I read in for example, the third section on the first line. By section I mean...
line 1:
section1, section2, section3, section4, section5
I want to read section3 into a string variable. If anyone can help me please post. I am having the hardest time finding this online.
Let's say I have cell A1 on Sheet 1 of Book 1. I need this cell to be a range variable for a macro in Book Two, but cell A1 varies from time to time (A1 this time, A7 next time).
In Book Two, I write "A1" as the contents of cell C3, for example. How do I turn that string into a range variable for use, not the containing cell? Since the cell needs to manually changed each time I run the macro, having it as a text field somewhere on my Book 2 Sheet seems the only simple way to identify it but IS there another way? Selecting it as the active cell and using another subroutine defeats the use of the macro.
I need to assign to a variable, the total number of text entries in col. A (or alternatively in a named range).
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a column of cells, each with a with text string that has three possible formats where I want to extract the total number of seconds.
The three formats are:
nnn hrs nn min nn sec (example: 1 hrs 42 min 58 sec)
or
nn min nn sec (example: 55 min 1 sec)
or
nn sec (example: 10 sec)
The result I want is a numeric value of the total number of seconds in the text string.
For example a text string of: 1 hrs 42 min 58 sec
Should give the result: (1 x 3600) + (42 x 60) + 58 = 6,178
I need to write a line of code which puts the following into a cell:
=+C4 & " - " & 1
The cell reference at the beginning will always be C4, however the "1" at the end will be variable named "GroupNo"
So my code will be something like:
Range("B46").Value = "=+$C$4 & " & "" - "" & "GroupNo"
This isn't working. I've tried every variation of what it should be but I keep getting errors like "type mismatch" or just the wrong thing being put in the cell.
Imagine that I have this list of thousands of customers, who are listed in column B in the format "customer no+space+customer name".
Now I want to extract ONLY the customer no from the text string in column B and insert it as number value in column A on the same row.
Would have been easy with "Left" command, but as the customer numbers have variable length, I have a problem.
I have a spreadsheet with a couple of hundred rows on each tab that looks like this: A1: #1 PENROSE TIJUANA MAMA PCH 2620039190 665794 12.00 CT 1 Front 1 1 1. The only constant is the 10 digit number followed by the 6 digit number in the middle and I want to use it to parse the text string. I want the output to be everything prior to the 10 digit number in A1, the 10 digit number in B1, the 6 digit number in c1 and everything else in D1 and so on through the rows.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have the following issue. I have a list of strings. Each string contains certain characters that are exactly the same for all strings, some characters are different making the string longer (in some cases). What I need to do is extract some combination of characters from each string. The strings look like this:
AB & CDE & FG & I mmmm yyyy.HIJK
AB & CDE & FG & II mmmm yyyy.HIJK
The part "AB & CDE & FG & " (incl. spaces) is the same for each string. The next part contains a roman count from I to VII, causing the length of each string to vary. The "mmmm" part contains the current month spelled in full e.g. December. This part differs as well, for each string. The "yyyy" part contains the year in four digits, e.g. 2007. The part after the dot is the same for each string again.
What I need to do:
- is to extract the month and assign it to a new string
- extract the year and assign it to a new string
- extract the roman number, translate it to a normal number (II -> 2) and assign to a string (or integer).
