Read Cell Content And Use That In A (search) Url
Jul 9, 2007
is it possible to read cell content and use that in a (search)url? somekind of auto-layout or what ever?
i'd have a collumn which has a lot of titles (in different cells), is it possible some way or another to read the content of the different cells and to apply that (in an array?) to an URL?
so use 1 url and add the different cell content as a variable to it?
i.e. i'd like to use this url: [url]=[url] for the whole collumn and automatically all new lines that might be added and ,,CELL-INFO'' should be replaced bij the different cell content in the column (Column:A)

I use this to read cell content, add some text/characters (ie. [ and ]) and change the properties of the complete cell
Sub COMMENT()
Worksheets("DVD Lijssie").Activate
If ActiveCell.Value 0 Then ' Change all in to ... ... ...
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = ActiveCell.Value & " " & "]" & " " & "["
With ActiveCell.Font
.Name = "Arial Narrow"
.Size = 8
.ColorIndex = 16
End With
End If
End Sub
HOW can I change this vba-code so it leave's the content of the cell like it is and add some content with the use of let's say TexBox1 and ONLY use different font properties for the newely added content?

need to do a search based on the contents of a cell, but this cell wil change from minute to minute, so the result of that search will obviously differ each time. So far, the relevant line of macro/VBA code is only searching for what was in the cell at the initial time of recording the macro, for example:
Cells.Find(What:="Allen", After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt:= _
xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:=False _
, SearchFormat:=False).Activate
Application.CutCopyMode = False
...searches for "Allen" each time, no matter what the contents of the cell which contained "Allen" initially, is now.

What I'm trying to do is determine what the content is in a particular cell. In the spreadsheet, some of the cells are merged, some not. I'm using ActiveCell to read the content of the normal cells, but its not working for merged cells.

How to determine the correct formula for this requirement?
Assuming I have 2 individual excel files and an index excel file (in reality, there are more than hundreds of file). For index excel, once the user enter part number (eg. 1 or 2), the excel will look for the part number excel file and determine vlookup function.
The only problem I have here is I can not make the index file automatically add the part number shown on most left column into the required formula (replace the part number file section).
I tried use the indirect function but this require each file to be opened, which is not possible for actual use. I am looking for a function that can work in closed worksheet.

I have a variable that can contain in no predefined order, a number of letters and one two digit number (code). I would like to extract this two digit number from this variable and based on its the value perform a task. I can test for the specific value of this number as there are only about 10 of these 2 digit codes. Im quite happy to have the routine test for the number by comparing them all one by one as there are only 10 it wount take too long.
The best scenario would be to extract the value into another variable which I then could use to construct a "select case" table from which I could then initiate the required task based on that number.

Formula/macro/etc that would enable me to have content of a cell changed based on the content of another cell in the same row.
Example: cell in column D says "PSA" - so I would need the cell in column H for that same row to read "Radio"
I would need an entire sheet scanned to review for these occurrences and make the appropriate changes. I also would need the formula to be inclusive enough to scan for variations in column D cell content (PSA 1, PSA 2, etc).

I am doing a Regular Expression search on a string variable assigned to the HTML content of a Wikipedia search. However I am currently manually going to Wikipedia, searching for the term, saving the html page, opening the saved page with Notepad and then copying the content into a cell.
Can the above process be automated with VBA, how to assign the html content of a Wikipedia search to a string variable.

For a table like the one below produced for the sake of example (actual is much much bigger) I want to make it list rows that are true for a certain column for a certain variable in the matrix. So for say water terrain, which types of activity can I do i.e. swimming. Or for Offroad the activites which I can't do i.e. Run and Swim.
ActivityWaterRoadOffroad
Jog nym
Run nyn
Walk nyy
Swim ynn
y=yes
n=no

I'm trying to open a file on a network drive...but I'm getting the following error message when it opens: "This file may be read-only, or you may be trying to access a read-only location. Or the server the document is stored on may not be responding." Now, the file itself has no rights restrictions and is not read only. It doesn't appear to be locked.
Now, there are other Excel files in the same directory which I could open fine; however, the Excel documents having the above problem all have a little black icon "appears to be a padlock" (image attached) at the bottom left hand side of the Excel file icon. I tried the following:
- Renaming
- Converting to a different file format (didn't work, it won't let me)
- Opening in notepad...etc doesn't work.
This file is dated back in 2004...do you think it's corrupt? Is there anything i can do to open or recover this?

I am using VBA to create a word document (.docx). This word document contains plain text content controls as well as picture content controls. I then use VBA to automatically select a picture based on the code below
Code:
Set oCC = Word.ActiveDocument.SelectContentControlsByTitle("TabPic").Item(1)
On Error GoTo TabErrorHandler
oCC.Range.InlineShapes.AddPicture Filename:="X:XFERANDREW-TDCD " & LblVL &
[Code].....
After the document has been closed down I try to open it again and I am told "The file cannot be opened because there are problems with the contents."
When I click details it says "Unspecified error" and "Location: Part: /word/document.xml, Line: 2, Column: 0"
If I click ok it says "Word found unreadable content in "". Do you want to recover the contents of this document? If you turst the source of this document, click Yes.
Clicking Yes opens the document with all the contents and it is now renamed to Document 1. If I click no it does not open.

For Each C In Sheets("data").Range("A2", Range("A2").End(xlDown))
With C
If IsDate(.Value) Then
.Offset(0, 3).Value = Format(.Value, "yyyymmdd")
Else
.Offset(0, 3).Value = Right(.text, 4)
End If
End With
Next C
which is supposed to read the cell offset 3 to the right, and then set to either YYYYMMDD or YYYY depenig on the value in the cell. I'm not sure how to specify the first part of this line - .Offset(0, 3).Value = Format(.Value, "yyyymmdd") - it keeps reading the cell in column A, rather than the offset cel.

Display Alert On Closing If Cell Not Filled In
How do I alter this code so that it acts like an INDIRECT function so will pick up a cell reference in another cell?
I can't just use A1 as I want this to change dynamically.

I am trying to get a SUM function to recognise values within a range of cells, that are immediately followed by a *. i.e. 34*
For each range i need to count the total number of inputs, count the number of starred inputs & add up all the values entered.
Currently COUNT doesn't recognise starred values, COUNTIF is set to count only starred values, and SUM wont recognise the value of the starred values.
Is there a way to only read the number element of an input - there are only integer values & starred integer values. The starred inputs are also conditionally formatted. If there is a way would it then affect the COUNT/COUNTIF element?

I have tried the following code, but doesn't work unless I protect the sheet:
Range("A1:A4").Select
Selection.Locked = True
Selection.FormulaHidden = False
If I protect the sheet, then it works fine, but how can I make a cell read only
WITHOUT protecting the sheet?

I am trying to read a value in a cell to post in another sheet.
Once the value has been copied, end. However, if the cell to the right of the copied has a value, then that value should be copied instead.
If the cell is blank, then the information should not be copied.
Basically I have a string of data from left to right being populated, with the most current value being copied to a differnt sheet.

I am trying to program a loop in Excel VBA to read the first two characters of a cell in column A and, depending on the characters returned, to print something else in column B, then move to the next row up. What I have so far below is pieced together from little insights from over the web, but currently it does nothing. Not even error messages. It has more fields (if "XX" > print blah blah) but they are all the same, so only the first two iterations are shown here for clarity.

I need a statement to look at how many words are in a cell. If there is 4, to return "Stem" to another column, if it's the 5th word or higher then to return the last word in the string.
For Example
Column A.......................................................... .Column B
SOME-TEXT-GOES-HERE....................................../...STEM
SOME-TEXT-GOES-HERE-SOMEMORETEXT.............../...SOMEMORETEXT
SOME-TEXT-GOES-HERE-SOMEMORETEXT-AGAIN...../...AGAIN
I have tried but failed miserably! I though of using a lookup statement but due to the number of variations it would be quite time consuming.

I was sure it would be in your archives but couldn't find it - apologies if this is a FAQ.
I am trying to extract the data in a spreadsheet to a bunch of files, one file per cell. The cells I need have very long text strings in them, actually whole HTML files.
Using this
Dim HTML As String
HTML = Cells(RowNdx, ColNdx).text
I can only read 1024 bytes - not nearly enough. Is there something else I can do to read the cell into a string variable?

I have one excel workbook which has 10 rows of data. I need to access another excel wb which has 10 rows of data and get the variance. The key here is wb 1 has the data as I manual gather it and it changes very often. WB 2 also changes to equal the number of rows in Wb 1.
A> I would like to call Wb 2 from Wb 1 and copy those 10
B> It should be able to handle change in the number of rows in WB 2
C> It should be able to call workbook 2 irrespective i name it differently.
Is there a way i can achieve all the 3 above?

I've recently discovered the usefulness of VB in excel and have managed to write some basic macros that enhance many of my workbooks. BUT, I've bumped into a problem I can't seem to solve. Please help!
I'm looking to import the values in a large range of cells ( 5 x 5000) in a closed workbook into a range that i specify in an open one, where both workbooks are housed in the same directory. I also want to include logic that allows me to move the 2 files to different directories (the names will never change, only the paths) and have the code still work--I believe i'd use relative path references?
I've found lots of snippets of code on the topic but can't seem to get any of them to work. For instance: http://spreadsheetpage.com/index.php...a_closed_file/
Problem is, I'm so new that I don't even know where to begin pasting the code (objects vs. modules, etc) in the VBA editor.

I've written a script to read all the values in an excel worksheet in to an array. The cell types differ from General or Text to Custom - HH:MM When I look through the array the script has returned the correct value for most but for the cells that are of a custom type an "incorrect" value has been returned. For example a cell of type Custom HH:MM which is 10:23:00 in the worksheet appears as 0.432638888888889 in the array. Is there a way to get the script to return the correct value?
Below is an extract of the code I've used
If objWorksheet.Cells(i, "D") <> "" Then
If objWorksheet.Cells(i, "F") <> "" Then
arrCULDEV = Split(objWorksheet.Cells(i, "F"), ":")
Redim Preserve arrSheetInfo(x)
arrSheetInfo(x) = arrCULDEV(0) & "," & arrCULDEV(1)
x = x + 1
i = i + 1
Else
i = i + 1
End If
End If
