Replace Folder URL String And Refer It To Cell

Oct 24, 2011

I'm using this macro to import txt files into excel.

Code:
Sub Bring_Articles_Into_The_File()
Dim sPath As String
Dim iRow As Long
Dim strString As String

[Code]....

Id like to replace the folder URL string ("C:Articles") and refer it to the cell "E5" instead. (So I don't have to open the code and change the folder every time)

Refer Folder/Filename In VBA Code Through Named Cell Reference

Oct 31, 2008

I have the following codes in which I am to refer a file and folder to do some further processes.

myfilename = "C:Documents and settingsacsMy DocumentsEntrymyfile1.xls"
folderPath = "C:Documents and settingsacsMy DocumentsEntry"

I want to enter these two paths in a sheet in my excel report file (For example, I am running the report from Report1.xls, in which there is a sheet name "Filepaths". In this,

in B5, I would like to enter the Filepath (B5 named as "FILEPATH")
in B6, I would like to enter the Folderpath (B6 named as "FOLDERPATH")

So that, if I am copying the folder to another area, I no need to change the code every time in the VBA editor. I can do changes in these cells and it will be taken as the path to run the code further.

Replace The First Or The Last From String

Jun 24, 2009

I need a code which replaces the given letter or sign combination at the first or at the last position of a string. User should be able to chose from which end the replacement should be done, what should be replaced and in which column. Maybe throug a messagebox!

For example (1):
Column B:
[trn][m1][c blue]$ [/c] = Dollar. [/m][m2][c green]Currency of USA[/c][/m][/trn]
[trn][m1][c blue]€ [/c] = Euro. [/m][m2][c green]Currency of EU contries[/c][/m][/trn]

Result of replacing the first "[/c]" with "" should be:
[trn][m1][c blue]$ = Dollar. [/m][m2][c green]Currency of USA[/c][/m][/trn]
[trn][m1][c blue]€ = Euro. [/m][m2][c green]Currency of EU contries[/c][/m][/trn]

Result of replacing the last "[/c]" with "" should be:
[trn][m1][c blue]$ [/c] = Dollar. [/m][m2][c green]Currency of USA[/m][/trn]
[trn][m1][c blue]€ [/c] = Euro. [/m][m2][c green]Currency of EU contries[/m][/trn]

Extracting Sub-folder From File String

Apr 13, 2007

I've got a host of files within a host of directories, e.g:

c:ContractsJim BobJim Bob Site.xls
c:ContractsJane JonesJane Jones Place.xls
c:ContractsJeremy HillsHills House Lvl 1.xls

I'm working in VBA to try to extract the site name from the file string. Unfortunately there is no other reliable location where I can find an accurate name of the site, so it needs to be taken from the second subdirectory. So I'm using the following code to get the file location:

Sub FilePicker(fileToOpen As String)
ChDrive "C:"
ChDir "C:Contracts"
fileToOpen = Application. GetOpenFilename(FileFilter:="PPM Files (*.xls),_
*.xls", Title:="Select a PPM Scope File", MultiSelect:=False)
End Sub

This returns a string along the lines of "c:ContractsJeremy HillsHills House Lvl 1.xls". From this string, I need to isolate the string "Jeremy Hills".

How To Replace String In The Cells

May 20, 2014

In one of my worsheets in the excel document, I have data as shown below:

Name Description Minimum Values Maximum Values
ABC test desc {0.0, 0.0, 0.0} {1.0, 1.0, 1.0}
DEF test desc {{0.0, 0.0, 0.0},{0.0,0.0,0.0}} {{1.0, 1.0, 1.0}, {1.0, 1.0, 1.0}}

Basically for a 1D array, the minimum and maximum values are within one set of brackets, whereas for 2D array (as shown in the second row), there would be nested brackets with comma after every closing bracket being a row separator.

My requirement is to write a macro to replace the minimum and maximum values in every row of the worksheet (I do not know the exact number of rows as it could vary) with just one value instead of repeated values depending on the size of the array. In other words, I am looking at the below output:

Name Description Minimum Values Maximum Values
ABC test desc 0.0 1.0
DEF test desc 0.0 1.0

Replace String In Over 250 Excel Files

May 27, 2014

I've been given the assignment to replace an old company name with the new one in an excessive amount of excel files. All the excel files seem to be some kinds of forms with fancy buttons and such. I've been trying to research this quite a bit but only found some shady programs which I'm not installing on company computers so I decided to write a batch script to try and accomplish this, if you have any other ways to do this do let me know. So far I've only got a basic skeleton of the batch script, like looping through all the excel files in a directory and then loop through all the worksheets within the file. Here's how it looks

Find And Replace Certain Pattern Within String Using VBA?

Apr 12, 2013

I created a vba procedure for a particular job but within that procedure I need to perform another task. I've been trying to come up with a regular expression but to no avail. I'm looking to loop through a range of cells for any string where there isn't a space before and after a hyphen. When occurance is matched, then replace with spaces. One exception to the rule would be if data is contained within parentheses, then ignore. There could be zero occurances in string to many.

ie.
abc - def ==> ok, s/b skipped
abc - def (nnn-mmmm ooo) ==> ok, s/b skipped
abc-def (nnn-mmmm ooo) ==> abc - def (nnn-mmmm ooo)
abc- def (nnn-mmmm ooo) ==> abc - def (nnn-mmmm ooo)
abc -def (nnn-mmmm ooo) ==> abc - def (nnn-mmmm ooo)
abc-def ==> abc - def
abc- def ==> abc - def
abc -def ==> abc - def

Replace End Of A String Only In Strings Containing Names

Apr 23, 2014

I have a VBA find and replace question

I have a spreadsheet with cognitive tests (approx 300) that have been given names like

w3_th_e
w4_th_e
dkefs_TMT1_e
pegboard_eh_e

What I need is a VBA macro that replaces the _e only at the end of the string to _ss for those strings that begins with w3_, w4_ and DKEFS_ (e.g. from w3_th_e to w3_th_ss)

Likewise I want to replace only the _e at the end of the string on all other names (e.g. pegboard_eh_e) with _t (e.g. from pegboard_eh_e to pegboard_eh_t) Is this possible?

VBA To Replace String That Matches Pattern

Nov 22, 2009

I have Userform1, Textbox1, Textbox2 and CommandButton1. Textbox1 is being manually inputted by users.

I would like that when I click Commandbutton1, that Textbox2 will be populated by whatever value was entered in Textbox1, except that the any string that matches any of the listed pattern below:

009???
017???
088???
078???
003???
663???

will be excluded. "?" here represent any 1 character.

So for example, if the user inputted "AA-90-088100ABC" in Textbox1, when CommandButton1 is clicked, Textbox2 should have the value:

"AA-90-ABC"

Find And Replace A Value In A String Of Text

Jan 23, 2008

I am trying to be able to input a value in column A and the string of text in column B will be affected by the value that I put in Column A. And i want to be able to do this with multiple rows with multiple values. Example:

My string of text in column B remains the same until the value of Column A changes. The find/replace will overwrite the "" in the string. This is my string of text in Column B: "^cCHT;all;;t;g;F1;F1;;all;;t;g;F2;F2;;all;;"

A1 value = "ABC"
Resulting Text in B1 = "^cCHT;all;;t;g;F1;F1ABC;;all;;t;g;F2;F2ABC;;all;;"

A2 value = "XYZ"
Resulting Text in B2 = "^cCHT;all;;t;g;F1;F1XYZ;;all;;t;g;F2;F2XYZ;;all;;"

I know that I can accomplish this by creating a button but I was wondering if there is a more automated way like a formula in a cell or something.

I have a text such as:

fdfs&s_kwcid

&dfsdaf&dsafdsf&s_kwcid=
fdsf&dasfsdf&s_kwcid=dsfasfsdf

I want to do is search for "&s_kwcid" or anything containing "&s_kwcid" and replace it with blank. So above would then read:

fdfs
sfsd
&dfsdaf&dsafdsf
fdsf&dasfsdf

I tried =IF(SUM(COUNTIF(E2,{"&s_kwcid*"}))=1,E2,"") but it didn't work. I tried auto filtering, and using contains &s_kwcid* but it didn't filter out results, but find &s_kwcid did find results for text anywhere in string, so I know the problem is there.

Excel 2007 :: Get Cell To Refer To Date That It Contains And Change Cell Colour Based On That?

Dec 19, 2012

I work for a UK charity and have a list of funders in an Excel 2007 spreadsheet.

One of the columns refers to the date on which a new application for funding can be made to that particular funder.

In many cases new applications for funding can't be made for 1 or more years since the last application - sometimes as many as 5 years later. How to get a cell to refer to the date that it contains.

For example, say I have in cell A1 "The Acme Funding Organisation" and in cell B1 (i.e. the "Reapply when?" column) a date of 01/04/2013 (British date format, i.e. 1 April 2013) then what I want Excel to do is to look at the date in cell B1 and if that date has been reached to highlight the cell red. That way I'll know that the reapply date has been reached & that a new application can be made.
