Leading 0s Being Dropped (XLS To CSV Stream) - VBA

Jul 7, 2013

I have a cell formatted as text and I'm throwing it to a variable. That variable is a string. Then I am streaming that data to a CSV using I/O. I am using the "print" command to send the value:

Code:
Print #1, value
=> If the value in the sheet is "0123", the value that appears in the CSV is "123".
=> If the value in the sheet is "'0123" (preceeded with an apostrophe, to indicate literal text), CSV value is "123".
=> If I add the apostrophe (') in VBA directly so that value in the variable is still "'0123", I actually then get "'0123" (apostrophe included!) in the CSV file! Problem is though, that the (') is not the preceeding character but is actually part of the value now!

I'm trying to retain the leading zeros through the file streaming process.

VLookup And Concatenate - Leading Zero Dropped

Apr 13, 2012

I am trying to use a Vlookup and concatenate 3 cells from Sheet B onto one cell in Sheet A. I have managed to get it to work, but the leading Zero's are being dropped. I have formatted the cells on Sheet B using custom format and "00000" but they are not coming through on Sheet A.

Here is the formula I am using

=CONCATENATE(VLOOKUP($L$1,[EFT_Exceptions_20120413.xls]EFT!$A:$BE,10,FALSE))&"-"&(VLOOKUP($L$1,
[EFT_Exceptions_20120413.xls]EFT!$A:$BE,9,FALSE))&"-"&(VLOOKUP($L$1,
[EFT_Exceptions_20120413.xls]EFT!$A:$BE,11,FALSE))

Stopping Zeroes From Being Dropped After Decimal Points?

Feb 10, 2014

I've read various "solutions" to my request but it's Greek to me. Simply stated I occasionally have to create worksheets that involve dollars and cents. My question is how can I get Excel to stop dropping the zero if its the last digit to the right of the decimal point? $42.30 becomes $42.3, etc.

I've looked through the preferences/options and can find nothing to rectify this. Any way to do this so that keeping the zero becomes the default for any tables, lists, etc that I create in the future?

Keep Leading Zeros?

Oct 8, 2012

I have formatted the cells to be '0000' (showing the leading zero) however when my VBA code runs it copies the cell value into a string but when I stop the code running to check the value the leading zero(s) are gone. I can see they are the same on both worksheets in the correct format. I've tried a few others like integer and long but same same.

Leading Zero Removal

Dec 13, 2008

I have cells where the formual is this: =D17/SUM(D17:E17). The result is always going to be a three-digit decimal, less than 1. .546 .345 .678 etc. Excel, of course, places a zero in the front: 0.546 0.345 etc. Is there a way to remove this?

Look-ups And Comparisons Leading Zero

Jan 23, 2010

Sample data:

1234
234
123
0304
304
7685
0123
0076
687

I need to be able to use formulas on the above numbers to perform look-ups and comparisons(=IF(A1>1000,"Yay","Boo")). My issue is the leading 0. To use formulas the above fields HAVE to be in a number format. Converting to typical number format removes the leading 0. All of the help files I can find show how to preserve the leading 0 either require a set number of 0s or require a set length. Unfortunately my data cannot match those rules. Is there any way I can convert these cells to a number format AND preserve any existing leading 0(s)?

Keep Leading Zero For CSV File

Oct 17, 2011

I've been tasked at work with created a daily CSV upload file for a new system. Typically, the format the raw data comes in is .xls and very untidy (direct from SAP).

As such I have created a small macro which tidys up the spreadsheet, and saves it as a CSV. However, I have only just noticed that for the product codes we have which have a leading zero, the .xls file displays the leading zero without a problem, but in the resultant CSV file they are gone.

The macro I use, is as follows:

Code:

Sub SamplesUpload()
'
' SamplesUpload Macro
'
'
Range("A:A,G:G").Select
Range("G1").Activate
Selection.Delete Shift:=xlToLeft

[Code] .....

As you can see, it's very crude (I'm a complete nubie when it comes to this) - the Application.Run "PERSONAL.xlsm!CSV" is a small macro which puts double quote marks around all content of any populated cells in column B and the Application.Run "PERSONAL.xlsm!SaveAsCSV" is a small macro which saves the current sheet as a CSV file - code for those as below:

Code:

Sub SaveAsCSV()
Dim DTAddress As String
Dim FileName As String
Dim FullyQualifiedFileName As String
'Get the path to the desired save location
[Code] ........

Code:
Sub CSV()

Dim arrB As Variant: arrB = Intersect(ActiveSheet.UsedRange, [B:B]).Value
Dim R As Long
For R = 1 To UBound(arrB, 1)
arrB(R, 1) = """" & arrB(R, 1) & """"
Next R
Intersect(ActiveSheet.UsedRange, [B:B]).Value = arrB

End Sub

So, why the leading zeros are not in my CSV file, and how to get them back?

The line which I use to get the leading zeros is:

Selection.NumberFormat = "[>9999]000000;General"

And this is because the only codes which have a leading zero are 6-digits long. Could I maybe add a single ' to the beginning of each cell in column A to make them text, and thus keep the leading zero?

To confirm, the column which contains the product codes is column A.

COUNTIF Ignores Leading Zero's

Nov 12, 2009

I have two, technically unique text values, with leading zeros, countif is including them in the count for each.

D17 = 01234
D18 = 1234

formula in column "C"
=IF(D17<>"",COUNTIF('Part Numbers'!B:B,D17),"")
=IF(D18<>"",COUNTIF('Part Numbers'!B:B,D18),"")

both countif's are resulting in 2, whereas they should be 1 since they are textually unique. The cells themselves, on both the source and counting side are formatted as text.

Declaring A Variable With Leading Zero's

Oct 29, 2008

Can anyone tell me how to have a variable which can store leading zero's. I am using this variable and part of a string and want it to be able to store and calculate numbers such as 0005 at the moment if such a number is entered it sees it as 5. At the moment I have declared the variables as integers but clearly this is incorrect.

Add Leading Zero To Month And Day After Split

Jan 5, 2010

I'm trying to finish up a little program, but am stuck on getting date values from excel over to a another front end system correctly. The issue is pretty basic - I have a value I call "fulldate" which, for example is "1/5/2010"

I have to move each element of the date to this other system, but if I don't add the 0 before the month and day, it gets pushed over incorrectly (this other front end has three fields which accept: mm dd yyyy. BUT, if one character is entred into the mm field, you need to TAB to get to the dd field. If you enter TWO characters, you CANNOT tab to get there (you'd end up in the yyyy field).

So, all I really need to do is take the value "1/5/2010" and end up with three variables of consistent lengths.

Month = 2 characters
Day = 2 characters
Year = 2 characters

Here's what I'm trying tu use.. .but Day1 = 1, not 01. I've tried using format, but it's just not working how I'd expect.

5 Digits Per Cell Leading With 0s

Jun 4, 2014

I have pasted over 1300 numbers in a list, all of which need to have 5 digits. However, when I pasted the 5 digit number (ie 00003) into the cell, it omits the leading 0's.

Is there any way to get these numbers back to having 5 digits....and if it omitted the 0's, can I put them back all in one fell swoop?

Leading Zero(s) / Custom Format? ()

Aug 23, 2007

I'm having trouble with the leading zeros of my ISBN#s; excel keeps chopping them off. I found a topic that discussed this issue, but it won't work for me.

http://www.mrexcel.com/board2/viewtopic.php?t=75303

I can't format them as text because I'm getting them as an isbn with dashes (ie:978-05689-256-7) and when I remove the dashes (even if its formatted as text) excel changes the number to 9780568.9E+12 (or something like that)

I think the solution would be to create a custom format (ie. 0000000000) to preserve the zeros, but I'm having 2 problems:

1. Since the ISBN#'s have 2 different formats (ISBN-10 & ISBN-13) I need to somehow check if the first 3 numbers are 978 then based on that it should be formatted either as ISBN-10 (0000000000) or ISBN-13 (0000000000000)

2. In the post that I linked to above it said that I won't be able to do a vlookup if its custom formatted. Is there any way around this?

Formula To Add Leading Zeros

Oct 10, 2007

I need a formula that will make a 4 digit number by adding leading zeros. If the number is already 4 digits then don't add leading zeros, do nothing. all numbers will be 1,2,3,4 digits long.

For Example,

if number is 1 then make it 0001
if number is 11 then make it 0011
if number is 111 then make it 0111
if number is 1111 then leave it 1111

Leading Zeros In Variable

Dec 5, 2006

what i want to do is input a range of numbers into a cell "L12" from 1 to 450
though when in excel i have formated the cell to "number" so when i want number 001 it turns to 1

what i what to do in the macro is after

Dim sNum As Integer

Sheets("FFR").Select

sNum = Range("L12").Value

if the number 1 is in the cell "L12" the number 1 will be in the variable sNum, though i want the number to be 001!

would i have to count the number of numbers in the variable and then say for example if there is only "1" number in the box, use an "add 00" function to get the number in the variable to be 001! I have an idea what to do though no idea where to start!

I can't seem to get the Concatenate function to work in my macro when there is a combination of numbers and text. It works fine is there are no alpha characters. I am using this macro to format all of the data in column "A" to have 5 characters and be text. These values will later be used in formulas and Pivot Tables.

Dim sinlen As String
Dim sinformat As Variant
Dim lastcell As Variant

VBA Format Number With Leading Zero

Feb 13, 2007

I have the following script which is working fine execpt for its limited to running the loop 10 times. The macro is looking for files where the file extension could be anything between .P01 and .P99. Currently, the macro looks for file.P01 then file.P02 etc until it gets to file.P09 by increasing the value of 'i'. The trouble I am having is to get the variable 'i' to have a leading zero when the value is less than 10.

Dim OldName, NewName
Dim i As Integer
Dim strResult, strOldName, strNewName As String

Pad Numbers With Leading Zeros

Jul 19, 2007

i have a header row that i want to transfer to a new spreadsheet. here is my exact setup to make it more clear:

Sheet1 - 001 PM Usage$%
Sheet2 - 022 PM Usage$%

i have dozens of these rows, and i want to set up a auto rename for the header row on sheet 2 to rename itself like this:

Dim the value from header row on Sheet 1 (001), and rename the header on Sheet 2 (022), keeping the remaining contents intact (this is important because i want to use the same function for other headers which varies).

what i am doing now is dumping the value of the first cell into a variable, but as it stands it doesnt store 001, it stores 1... stripping the zeros, which makes it more complicated.

i thought perhaps i should dim the first 3 characters in the header as a string, and rename the first 3 characters in header 2, which i think would be the most efficient, but i dont even know if that is possible.
