Find Cells Contaning Text Not Numbers
May 15, 2007I need to find cells containing text (Alpha characters only) in a single column, an return the row(+1 then -1). The column contains Group names (Unknown) , and under each name follows numeric data until the next group name. The cells are not formatted other than BOLD names. I need to exctract the numeric data in groups.
EG.
----
NameA
324
234
65
NameB
345
67
Footer
----
etc.
I have manged using the following code, but this always assumes there is an "e" in the name, but would prefer a more foolproof method. (I used "e" cos it is ok so far, BUT this could change in the future)
Sc = "A"
Sr = "1"
With Worksheets(1).Range(Sc & Sr & ":A500").................

Save Ranges In Multiple Files To Text Files
Dec 21, 2007I have a excel file that I enter information into. I have code that saves the files to a certain folder with the name, date, and time stamp for the file name. At the end of the day I might have 3 to 15 excel files I have created that day and I would like to take information from certain cells (examle: L3, B6, B7, B8, G8, and so on) and create a txt file with all of the information in it.
Example:
12/20/2007
Your Name
123 Somewhere St.
Here, OH 45111
Home Visit
12/20/2007
Someone Else
345 Anywhere St.

Convert Multiple Files To Text Files
Sep 26, 2007I have about 100 Excel files in one folder that need to be saved as text files. They can keep the same name, but simply need to be converted to text files. I'd like to use VBA for this and I can't find examples that do exactly that...or ones that my limited knowledge can handle.
Excel files exist in C:Source and ALL of them should be saved as text files in C:Destination. Maybe there is an easier way, but I thought for sure there was a routine I could use.
Remove Modules In Multiple Open Files Results In Error If Module Doesn't Exist
Jan 30, 2008I have a number of similar templates on a server used to produce quotations from other files with lookup formulas. They all have 2 modules, 3 & 4. Module 3 deletes certain data and shows values instead of formulas for most of the pricing etc. Module 4 contains a macro that logs info in another central workbook on the server.
If 2 files are opened based on the same template at once, when the Quote_Wrapup macro (in module3) is run on one of the open files(code follows) from a button on the spreadsheet it often produces a Run-time error '9' Subscript out of range error.
Sub Quote_Wrapup()

Convert Array Into Text And Remove Duplicate Entries From Text In Cell?
Jun 12, 2014I have the following two columns, and would like to obtain for each individual Company, the corresponding Country values excluding duplicates as text in a single cell.
Company 2Country B
Company 2Country C
Company 3Country C
Company 3Country C
Company 5Country A
Company 5Country C
Company 5Country C
For example:
- For Company 2, a cell containing "Country B, Country C"
- For Company 3, a cell containing "Country C"
- For Company 5, a cell containing "Country A, Country C"
I've approached generating an array using an IF statement, as in =IF(INDEX(A1:A8="Company 5",,),INDEX(B1:B8,,)," "), which returns the following array: ={" ";" ";" ";" ";" ";" ";" ";"Country A";"Country C";"Country C";" ";" ";" ";" "}.
The question is: how do I get that array to produce, as text in a cell: "Country A, Country C". Note that the duplicate Country C has been removed.
There are a few "StringConcat" User-defined functions that I've found elsewhere on the internet, but they don't seem to be able to handle to conditionally generated IF Index array, which I would think is key to parsing between Countries corresponding to each Company in the list.
Write Ranges To Text Files & Save Each As Cell Text
Sep 17, 2007I m trying to write a macro which could take the text from a single column row T2 to row T313 and write it to a .txt file. Have the .txt file name created by the text in T4 or I could also put the text to name the file in T1 if you think it would be easier.
Then carry on to the next named sheet and produce another .txt file in exactly the same way until all 15 sheets have been completed. It would also be helpful if prior to starting to write each text files, it could test for any text in cell A2 of the sheet. The first empty A2 cell of a sheet would determine the end of the run, if it was prior to sheet 15 being reached.

View 9 Replies View RelatedImported Text Files Numbers Seen As Text
Mar 10, 2008I have opened a .txt (by right clicking and selecting Open with rather than open from within Excel) file with numbers using the format 1,234,567.00 but in my country we use 1 234 567,00. So I created a macro changing the , into "" and the . into , and it works fine while creating the macro itself (by using the macro recorder) and the numbers shows and behaves like numbers. However, when running the macro on a new file some numbers remain as text whereas others are numbers. Theres is no common string, eg that numbers starting with - (minus) remains text.
It does then not matter if I go to the format function and select number with decimals and thousand dividor - the number still remains as text. I have also tried the suggested multply by 1 but it still remains as text. The only thing that helps is to either double click on the number or use the Konvert text to number. But I would then have to click each number in the whole table which is what I wanted to avoid.

Insert Text To One File - Remove Text From Equivalent Column In Another File?
Aug 13, 2013Got a slight problem; I am making a "worker-plan", where you should be able to write a name on one file and have it updated (removed) from the equivalent columns on another file automatically. Here's an example with two separate projects:
Project 1 before and after changes:
Attachment 257366
Attachment 257367
Project 2 before and after changes:
Attachment 257368
Attachment 257369
You can see here how I intended it to work. When one worker is moved from Project 1 to Project 2, that worker should also be removed from those weeks in Project 1. The previous worker from Project 2 should also be removed from those weeks (in Project 2).
Are there any formulas that can make this work automatically? All week numbers will belong to the same columns in all files.
Edit: There are 30 files that should be syncronized, not just two.. I could also gather all files into one file with sheets, instead of having seperate files.
How To Remove Specific Text Before A Character
May 5, 20141) In any cell, I would like to remove "Area#xxxxxxxxx" (where x are random numbers).
Example : "INFO Log - [sys] Area#541185471Character#46545"
2) I would like to remove x characters before a word.
Example : 2013-08-28.txt@INFO
I would need to remove 14 characters before the character "@".
I tried to play with the LEN and RIGHT/LEFT formula but so far, I can't get it to work... The idea is to parse some text and remove the part in red (I was thinking about using SUBSTITUTE).
Remove Specific Text From Only Certain Cells
Feb 9, 2009I am exporting lots of data from a website and for some reason to do with html i am getting   in a few cells in my description column (column C), i think that means "& " in html. this occurs in some cells but not others when i paste it into Excel. I would like to remove these characters.
I know I can do it with crtl H and the replace field blank but I would like a formula so in the future the user will simply have to paste information and then get converted information out (as they will struggle to use excel).
How To Remove Text After The Second Instance Of An Asterisk?
Jun 18, 2009I'm trying to convert variable length strings which are being copied from a display and loaded into an array.
I have it working fine for the majority of the data, which comes in looking like "*ABC@US" or "*AABC@US"
However, some of the data looks a bit different, particularly lacking the @ symbol. So what I end up with is
"*ABC US*ABC US*ABC US"
What I need to get to is just "ABC US" FYI the US part can be 1-5 characters.
SO... I need a way to truncate anything after the second instance of the asterisk. Haven't been able to get it to work using various trim, mid, len, left, right, etc functions.
Remove 14 Digits From The END Of Text In A Column
Jul 9, 2009I know how to remove the first part of a text, but not the end. I have a very large amount of data in which the first column contains a product description and then the UPC code. I need to isolate the product name from the UPC code into 2 columns. I used =RIGHT(B2,14) to isolate the UPC, but since the length of the product name varies, I'm not sure how to isolate the product name. I have looked at using the TRIM and TRUNC functions without any luck. 'Text to columns' doesn't work because I have multiple spaces, 'Text to columns' would work if I could used 2 digits as the delimiter, but the function doesn't allow that.
Can someone please suggest a function or formula for this?
Here is an examples of how the text appears in the field. (Note: I only need to cut off the UPC code, I need the measure information to stay).
some really long product name 12 oz 5 bag 09-99999-99999
another shorter name 2 oz 09-99999-99998

Remove Partial Text From Cell
Apr 25, 2012I am copying text (contest results from another website) and posting into excel. As it is formatted on the original site, it posts the place, followed by a period, then the team name, then a dash, then the score.
Example ... 4. Smokers Purgatory - 662.2858
To place it in our database we need the period removed from the place, and the dash and score removed.
Example ... 4 Smokers Purgatory
Is this possible to automate in excel or is there a way to format so that excel seperates the place, team name and score? Or should I be looking for a different method?
