I am in need of a quick macro. I am not sure how to even write this one.
I need it to look at all the cells in the worksheet, and if it is an an error (such as #DIV/O, #NUM, #N/A, etc) replace it with a 0.
Is this possible through VBA?
Even better, how can I make this an Add-in?
This problem has come up fairly frequently lately, and I'm not sure how to fix it, or if this is by design...but in Excel 2003 I can't seem to do a "Find and Replace" based on the value of a cell. I can do a find, based on cell value, but the moment I change to the replace tab, the "values" and "comments" are missing from the "look in" dropdown.
I've only noticed this when I'm trying to replace on a filtered list, so I'm not sure if that is part of the issue.
Perhaps an alternative way of arriving at the same goal. Basically I have a worksheet with a number of filtered columns. They are filtered just right, using custom filtering, and so I do not want to undo the filters. In some columns I have formulas that are returning #VALUE! errors. I'd like to replace all of these cells with NA.
I recently became owner of a spreadsheet with some issues, and I am trying to make it useful. Each row has a URL of a blog post, and I want to extract the date from it (which is present in each URL) while getting rid of the rest of the URL. I was able to get rid of everything up to the year (which comes first), but then the URL continues, for example, 2013/05/16/the-rest-of-the-url/ and I would like to just have 2013/05/16 remain.
I am trying to use find and replace with the find box reading 2013/??/??/*/ and replacing it with 2013/??/?? which effectively erases everything else in the url, but leaves ?? instead of the numbers. Is there any way to have it so that it keeps whatever was in the original box?

Trying to repeat a 550 or so character statement with a find/replace however I am getting type mismatch errors. When I use a smaller message in the "replace" it works.
I need it to post a message exactly as long as what I have in there. How do I get it to work?
Need assistance with the code for catching errors when using the find / replace function in excel? In particular, I am trying to write code to break to an error message when the value or string searched for isn't found in the find / replace. At the minute I have just copied the standard code using a macro and all this does is return a message box saying X entries replaced.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have values in row A and I have values in row C. I want to create a loop to look up xxx and replace it with the values consecutively in row C. Look at example for a better Idea. I found a way to find and replace, but I not sure how to use it with qoutes. I was thinking maybe I dont even need row A and just supply a list and excel could have the chunk of data in the code itself.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a macro where it finds a a certain word in a column for example C. What i want it to do is find anything that says FWD_EUR and then replace that cell (e.g C2) with CASH_EUR_FWD and after it has done that it replaces the adjacent cell (e.g. D2) with EUR_FWD. I then want this to do the same with FWD_USD to CASH_USD_FWD and adjacent cell to USD_FWD.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm wanting to use Excel's built in replace function to replace ANY date with "Call:"
I'm not going to go into details about why, but I cannot use a code, as I only want to change them at specific times.
The dates are currently formatted as 12/09/2009. So I need to change the 12/09/2009 and any other date there may be to "call:" without having to go through every possible date.
I have over 16000 cells with different information in them, each cell is unique. There are parts of these cells that have similar information.
I am looking to search part of the cell, and replace the whole cell with my new description, so I can run pivot tables on it.
I used the following code to replace " characters to !%. Then I copy the selected cells, and replace the !% back to "-es. The copied cells contain the "-es. When I comment the second replace, the function is working correctly, the copied cells contain the !%. What's the problem of my code?
Selection.Replace _
What:="""", Replacement:="!%"
Selection.Copy
'Selection.Replace _
' What:="!%", Replacement:=""""
Range B3:B1000 is text strings. Column C2:C50 is a list of words that I would like to "Find" in Column B and replace with it's lowercase values unless they start off the string.
Example
Find all occurences of And or AND and replace with and
Find all occurences of With or WITH and replace with with.
Find all occurences of Or or OR and replace with or
I have a large data file that needs a far amount of updates. Essentially what I am trying to do is take one value, lets say it is simply "ABC", and replace it with "ABC1" and - more importantly - add a row beneath it and in the cell directly below the original add a value of "ABC2". This example will happen multiple times throughout the file.
I'm afraid that other than manually going through the file and adding rows where needed I do not know a process to do this quickly. This will take many many hours based on the size of my file so I figured I would reach out to a community of much better excel users than I to see if there is something I am missing.
I have a dataset. Some cells have values in them while other cells have #N/A. I want to convert all cells that have #N/A to 0 without touching the cells with values in them already (So I can sum rows up without it returning #N/A). I tried if(A1="#N/A",0,A1) but that returns #N/A also .

View 8 Replies View RelatedI was wondering if it is possible to do this unique find and replace that is explained below.
I have many columns with data from our database. I have one column that has my html layout in it. I want to find within the html text data and replace it with data from another column for that row.
Example: We have [[manufacturer]] in the html area that we want to replace with data from our column called Manufacturer. So, it will replace the text in the html named [[Manufacturer]] with that rows Manufacturer data we have.
Is that possible to do?
I am being passed a series of positive and negative numbers in a column - the only problem is that the negative numbers have the - at the end of the series i.e.1234-.Is there someway I can change this with a macro so they read -1234.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI 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]

I have 2 Excel files that have 2 columns in each.
Product# and Price.
The Product#'s in the 1st sheet are in correct order and have outdated prices.
In the 2nd file the Product#'s are same but they cannot be sorted the same way as the 1st file. So I cannot just copy the column of updated prices from 2st one and paste it into the 1st.
So, my best bet would be to run a script or something that will get a Product# from 2nd file and find it in 1st, if it matches then copy the new price to the 1st file.
=IF(R16="A",D11,IF(R16="B",G11,IF(R16="C",J11,IF(R16="D",M11,IF(R16="E",P11,0)))))
i want to replace the letter A,B,C,D,E, with numbers from 1-5.
When I take of the """" and replace the letter with the numbers the formula does not work.
I have around 10 names which I want to replace with their code names. For Example, "Alan Richard" needs to be replaced with AR001. Problem is I don't know cell range and this name might appear more than once in the data.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to find and replace #N/A from a formula (link to another sheet) with nothing in the cell, using VBA.
Using this code it will do the first "find"
Cells.Find(What:="#N/A", After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt _
:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:= _
True, SearchFormat:=False).Activate
ActiveCell.ClearContents
Trying this
Cells.Replace What:="#N/A", Replacement:=" ", LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlPart, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=True, SearchFormat:=True, _
ReplaceFormat:=False
LookIn:= is highlighted and I get a "named argument not found"
Don't understand that because LookIn:=xlValues works in the first code.
I did try and place After:=ActiveCell,before this, but that does not work. I Get the same error.
I have more then one cell with the #N/A which I would like to get rid of. I want this to work only on this one sheet. The other sheet that the formula is pulling from does have #N/A, and that is okay, I need it there.
I have a list of sales associates that are assigned numbers. For example, John Doe is 1022. The data I have to work with only shows his number 1022 but for my reports management wants the name John Doe. I have about 60 sales associates and have a VB code that 'finds and replaces'. The code is huge. It has slowly grown out of hand, with more sales associates added daily. I also have 22 sheets in one workbook with specific columns to search for the numbers to replace with the names.
This is what I would like to do. Have a sheet named associates, as more associates are added I would just have to add their name and number. Have two columns with headers column A - Associates column B Associate #. Name ranges for the two columns and write a code that says look in the sheet associate, at named range 'numbertoname' and if the current sheet 'total sales' I am in has the number 1022 in column C replace it with the name John Doe. It seems like it should be easy but.......I have tried and tried today.
I've searched the board for something close to reverse-engineer but no luck. I'm looking for a macro that will:
Examine values in Sheet 1, column B
Compare them to values in Sheet 2, column A then...
wherever there's a match copy the the corresponding cell contents of Sheet 2, column B into the corresponding cell of Sheet 1, column A
What I'm trying to do is append the description of a 4-letter code (from a reference Sheet 2) beside where that code appears in Sheet 1.
There won't be a row-to-row correspondence in the match, i.e ABCD might be in (Sheet 1)B45 and (Sheet 2)A920...
I am looking for code that will look for text in column A and input text into column C. for example:
if column A contains "scat" then input "scatter" into column C
if column A contains "fab" then input "Fabric" into column C
I have a workbook with two worksheets. The first is called Input and in cells C3 a product code is entered and in cell D7 the value and F10 the description.
The second sheet called History has a range of Product codes in cells AA5:CD5, AA4:CD4 holds values and AA8:CD8 descriptions.
Now for the intersting part, I need a macro to run that looks at the value in cell C3 of the input sheet and if a match can be found in cells AA5:CD5 of the History sheet then the value from D7 would replace the value in AA4:CD4 and F10 would replace the value in AA8:CD8.
Example if cell C3 has RJ12345 as the product, D7 reads £15.10 and D7 reads towel.
The code RJ12345 is foound in cell BC5 then cell BC4 would be replaced with the value £15.10 and BC6 would have the worf towel entered.
I'm working with a word table pasted into excel. The dashes in the word table paste into Excel (2003) as small boxes. I can use the find and replace function in Excel and in the Excel environment the replace function works. I recorded the replace function so I could develop the action in VBA. The recoded action does not work. The data I've pasted in below looks fine, however when pasted into Excel all of the "-" paste in as small boxes. When I used the chr function the chr code equals 63 which is "?". I used chr(63) in the replace function. This causes the VBA replace function to replace all characters in the file with dashes. I've tried several other codes (127,129,141,143,144,157) (none worked) based on the following website:
[url]
Cells.Replace What:=Chr(63), Replacement:="-" 'finds and replaces the - that converted to boxes
I can paste in the data using paste special "unicode text" but I loose the strike through formating which I need to identify obsolete data.
=IF(SEARCH($C$2,'705334-0707-0408'!C3)>0,ROWS($1:2),"")
Subsequent data selection also results in #VALUE...
=IF(ROWS($1:1)>COUNT($A$5:$A$1000),"",INDEX('705334-0707-0408'!B:B,SMALL($A$5:$A$1000,ROWS($1:1))+1))
In sheet one I have a list of bank transactions. I want to find all transactions matching a specific search string (in $C$2). $C$2 is compared with data in column B of sheet 705334-0707-0408.
How do I get a nul value in column A (=IF(SEARCH($C$2,'705334-0707-0408'!C3)>0,ROWS($1:2),"")). I've tried to compare the result to #VALUE, and tried NOT and a few other combinations, but can't get it to work.
I cant use the contents of a different column; there are only date, details and amount. None of date or amount influence, or are influenced by the details in column B.
