Naming Sheet With Special Character

Jan 18, 2010

I have a userform with a textbox and an OK button and having clicked OK a particualar sheet is given the name in the textbox. If the character '/' is included in the textbox a standard Excel message appears explaining that this character cannot be used. On clicking 'END' on the message the userform automatically disappears and I have to close the file and reopen to end another name.

Is there any way that I could introducing my own basic messagebox which says 'The characters /, ? etc cannot be used' and on clicking OK the userform stays and you can try again.

Search By Special Character?

Feb 8, 2013

just had 11,000 customer account arrive and they are all messed up!

I am working through all the email address's and lots are not valid ones, is there a way i can make some sort of rule that willl do the following

If ther is no @ symbol, in Cells A ( any of A ) it drops them to the bottom of the list, or anything that just splits them up

Eg

fWGHFUI@JHEGF.COM
EFHWHEF@WEGFIW.COM
EKFGWIGF@YTRQUH.CO.UK
HJGIWEROPQWRP@WEYIO.COM
ASFHWIEGFIUQWEFH.COM
EHFIOQH12.CO.UK

This would split the bottom 2 email address away from the others as they dont have the @ symbol!

Search For Special Character * (Asterisk)

Jan 2, 2008

I'm working again with a large Inventory Database dump into a workbook and in the past the company appended the * character to designate an updated price on an item(column C). Its rocking my world to sort through things with this character as you can tell. I'm trying to find rows that column C has a * in, cut, and paste them into another sheet called "Updated". I would even accept just how I'd do a simple "find/replace all" on that character and then I can just update my macro and be on my way Anyway this is the macro thus far and as you can see it would just cut all rows and paste them to "Updated".

Sub Updated()
With Worksheets(1).Columns("C")
Set c = .Find("*", LookIn:=xlValues)
If Not c Is Nothing Then
firstAddress = c.Address
Do
c.EntireRow.Cut Destination:=Worksheets("Updated"). Range("A" & Worksheets("Updated").Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Row + 1)
Set c = .FindNext(c)
Loop While Not c Is Nothing And c.Address <> firstAddress
End If
End With
End Sub

Finding Special Character In TXT File And Displaying Message?

Jul 19, 2013

want a way to find out any special character in text file (.txt).

The .txt file I use is very large about 100 mb to 1GB. I need to find a way to write vba code that asks for input text file and the validates it and gives the message that following special characters are present in the file. Also, it gives their column number and row no's, where they are located.

The characters which needs not treated as special characters are numbers (0-9), alpha (A-Z) and special characters (@,-,%,$,+,=).

Excel 2003 :: How To Remove Characters To The Right Of Last Occurrence Of Special Character

Mar 30, 2011

I have a column of text where I need to remove all the characters to the right of the last occurance of a special character.

I think a process like reading from right to left, look for the first occurance of the special character, and return the characters to the left of this position.

If I can determine the position of the last occurance of the special character, I could use the LEFT function.

The SEARCH function is close. It finds the position of the first occurance of text inside text but it reads from left to right. I need to read from right to left.

Another approach is to examine each character one by one from right to left. If the character is not the special character, delete it. When the character is the special character, delete it and stop the process.

There is no consistency in the text. The total lengths vary. The number of times the special character occurs in the text vary. The number of characters to the right or left of the last special character vary.

I much prefer not to have the solution be some VBA because I need to share it with others who are even less capable than I am. We are using Excel 2003.

Creating And Naming A New Sheet From An Index

Apr 29, 2009

I'm attempting to create a database on Excel 2007 to create a record of all the documents I use at work. At the moment I have an index sheet where I enter the indivudual project numbers. Is it possible in VB to take a value from this index sheet, copy an existing (template within the workbook) sheet and rename the new tab with the project number from the index?

Example:

As there will be many projects within the database is it possible to code it such that:

New Sheet1 created from template within workbook -> Tab renamed according to value of 'Index!B4'

New Sheet2 created from template within workbook -> Tab renamed according to value of 'Index!B5'

New Sheet3 created from template within workbook -> Tab renamed according to value of 'Index!B6'

and so on......

Further, is it also possible to automatically create the new sheet as soon as a project number is entered into 'Index!B4', 'Index!B5', 'Index!B6'?

ie: Text entered in 'Index!B4' -> new sheet created and renamed automatically

Custom Rules For Sheet Naming

Apr 4, 2008

I want something strange but i guess you can do just about anything with excel these days if you ask around.

I want names for the sheets that are contained on a specific excel file that i have to be automatically generated accordingly to the following:

sheetname = runxyy_s=zz%

Where x is the lowercase letter of the word formed on the name of the first sheet of the workbook
and yy and zz are values stored on specific cells on the sheet,lets say yy is A1 and zz is H4.

I want to have certain sheets in my workbook named from the result of a formula on that sheet in A1. There will never be an instance where two sheets would be the same name. I have ZERO experience in VBA. I tried the code below in each of the worksheets modules where I wanted the sheet name to change but it doesn't work.

Private Sub Workbook_SheetChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range)

Paste Special In Summary Sheet

Jun 17, 2009

I have five sheets in a workbook, they are ID, Batch1, Batch2, Batch2 and Summary. Batch1, Batch2 and Batch3 have variable rows of data manipulated based on the data in the ID sheet (using formula, refering sheet ID) and number of rows in Batch1, Batch2 and Batch3 are varied.

On the Summary sheet I want to copy the rows from Batch1, Batch2, Batch3. From some forum, I have the code as below:

Sub MakeSummary()
Sheets("Summary").Select
'Clear the existing values (if any)
Range("$A$2:$D$600").Value = ""
Original = ActiveSheet.Name
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False

The code is working magic. only problem is, it is copying the formula to the summary sheet from Batch2 and Batch3 sheet (Batch1 is ok, as it is the first row get copied)and therefore the reference to formula is refering to a blank cells.

I believe, it will solve the issue if I could paste the Values (Paste Special -> Values) into the Summary sheet.

Replace Specific Character ONLY If Its LAST In The Sheet

Nov 27, 2013

Switched to Excel after using OpenOffice and I'm stuck on knowing what an old a 'find and replace' formula would be in Excel. It would remove a specific character (or word) ONLY if it was the last characters in a cell.

The old find and replace for open office:
Find: (.*)/$
Replace: $1

It's not that important now to delete a word, mainly the last slash '/' ONLY if it's the last character e.g. this data has 2 rows with a '/' as the last character

website.com/page
website.com/page/
website.com/page/page/

Running my old find and replace formula would remove the last slashes, but leave the others

website.com/page
website.com/page
website.com/page/page

Need simple replacement to the find and replace but a formula is also right.

Append All Digits Before Character To All Numbers Between The Same Character

May 18, 2008

I have got a list of numeric abbreviations, for instance 10739011/21/31/41. What it should really display are the numbers 10739011, 10739021, 10739031 and 10739041 (the first six figures stay the same). All the numbers in my list are 8 figures long. I want to change the list from the list seperated by the backward slash to the complete numbers. I have uploaded an example of the list with backward slash between the numbers. Is there a way that Excel can automatically change these numbers to the full numbers?

Because all the numbers are 8 figures long, I thought the first 6 figures of the 1st number can be copied and those 6 figures pasted before the other two figures after the backslash. Auto Merged Post Until 24 Hrs Passes;sorry, pressed OK too quickly. The problem is that there are sometimes 4 numbers in the cell, sometimes 6 and once three. I would like Excel to complete all the numbers in the cell and then move on to the cell underneath it and so on. Also, I would like each number to have it's own cell.
