Column Letters- VBA Command To Get The Letters
Is there a VBA command to get the letters, instead of the numbers, of the column of a selected cell?

I have to letter a list whihc means setting up a loop using character codes.

I may have to go into double letters so I am working on how I would set up the loop for if and when it gets past 90 and starts on double letters. so far the highest is the letter "U"

of course the easiest would be to pick up a column value as a letter

NT values do not get a number

A_____ _____NT###
B_____1_______C####
C_____2_______RMK###
D____ _______NT####

i am guessing the loop might involve some arithmetic test between the count and the character set 65-90. or maybe a mod thing.

SUM MAXIMUM Or Index/Max: Count Number Based On The Maximum Time??
I was hoping that my formula would give me the count number based on the Maximum time (latest time) and the Name field...My result is a 0 instead of 62 (the correct answer).

=SUM((Download!$H$2:$H$10=A4)*(Download!$D$2:$D$10=MAX(IF(Download!$H$2:$H$10=$A4,Download!$D$2:$D$1 0)))*Download!$I$2:$I$10)

Would a Index/Match/MAX function be more efficient?

Find MAXIMUM, Show Date When MAXIMUM Occurred
Look in Column E and find the MAX value. Once you find the MAX value, (let's say E27) display the date that's in C27. I bet this is really easy but I've been screwing around with it for over a half hour and can't get the correct result.

Select First 7 Letters From A Cell
I have some code that loops through a sheet exporting each row to it's own file. The code below is the part that writes the file. The variable "i" is used to count which row the loop is on. I had planned to use the text in the first cell to identify the files, but the problem is that it contains some characters that cannot be used in Windows file names. So what I had hoped to accomplish was to just use the first 7 letters from each cell in column "a" in the filename. how to modify this to only take the first 7 letters from the cell instead of the entire cell contents? Set a = fs.CreateTextFile(DestFile & Cells(i, 1).Text, True)

Validate Cell Not Empty Or Certain Letters
I have a sheet which in a certain cell (H4) must contain either an "I", "J", "R" or "S" in upper case.

The user fills in the sheet, and then a macro runs that does lots of things. I have been asked to put a bit of code at the start of the macros to validate the contents of cell H4.

However it doesnt seem to work, particularly the isempty statement

Sub SiteVal()
'
' SiteVal Macro
'
If ("H4") = "S" Then
Else
If ("H4") = "I" Then
Else
If ("H4") = "R" Then
Else
If ("H4") = "J" Then
Else

If IsEmpty("H4") = True Then
MsgBox "Site code must be input"
Exit Sub
Else
End If
End If

Return Maximum Of Active Cell & Arbitrary Value To Cell
I am looking for VBA that will add the value of the current active cell on the sheet to the value in cell F12. The maximum value of F12 cannot exceed 1000. So if the value in F12 = 950 and 100 is the value in the active cell the maximum value in F12 should show 1000, not 1050.

It should do this on the click of a button.

Maximum Cell Value
In a cell, I would like to limit the maximum upper limit. For instance, in a cell with (=H23*0.06), that value ranges from perhaps 1.48 up to 5.93; however, I would like for the upper limit to stop at 3.33. Would that be conditional formatting? How can I stop the upper limit at 3.33?

Deleting The Units (letters) In Two Cell Ranges And Graph It
I would like to build a Macro to delete units (ex: 10V --->10) of two cell ranges that are not beside each other and eventually automate it to graph these two ranges because I will be running samples and have to produce a graphs for each sample.

I tried the code below, but I can't figure out how to include 2 ranges without deleting letters in other cells in in between the ranges.

for ex: I want to delete the non numerical characters in the two ranges C3:C1000 and H3:H1000 and graph these ranges.

Maximum Characters Per Cell
I have a worksheet that multiple users will be entering in data, this information is then being used to pull into a form located on a sepearte worksheet within the workbook. One of the cells in the input sheet has the potential to have more characters than excel will allow. It is my understanding the maximum number of characters per cell is 1,024.

What is the best way to setup my spreadsheet in the event the data contains more than 1,024 characters. The informatino going into the cell are legal descriptions of property so I want to be able to keep the description together in the final document in the other worksheet. Is there a way the user can input the entire decription in one cell, regardless of the character size, then have a formula to take the first 1,024 characters and put them in one cell, followed by another formula to put the next 1,024 characters in the next cell?

Then in my main document I would use the concatenate formual to combine these two cells into one.

Cell Of Maximum Value In Another Column
I have a problem looking up the cell at which a maximum value in a curve is located. I have attached a workbook with an example of my problem (this is scaled down to limit the size of the attachment – my usual string of data is 5000 rows long). Column A is the time and all subsequent columns will contain force values (as shown in columns A and B) which create a similar sharp curve.

Ideally I need to be able to lookup the time point (column A) at which the maximum force value occurs for each curve or if this is not possible the row number in which the maximum force value occurs. I would like to be able to do this using a formula rather than a macro if that is possible?

I have tried using a number of excels lookup functions and read through the examples on the site but have had no success.

Return Cell Address With Maximum Value
I have two columns of numbers in column A & B. In column A I am trying to locate the maximum value and get the cell address of the number next to it in column B. I am currently using this formula to do this ..... =ADDRESS(MATCH(MAX(A1:A4),A1:A4),2,4)

It works ok, but if the maximum number is the first value in the column it is returning the last cell address in column B. I am not sure what I am doing wrong.

Offset Cell From Found Maximum In Range
I recently asked how to locate a max value within a variable range using a macro and got the following responses: Get Maximum Value From Graph / Chart, all of which worked great.

Dim r As Range
Set r = Range("D2", Range("D50"))
Range("K1").Value = Application.WorksheetFunction.Max(r)

Range("Max1") = Application.WorksheetFunction.Max(ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Values)
Start = "D24"
Finish = "D163"

Range(Start, Finish).Select
myrange = Selection.Address
Range("Max2") = Application.WorksheetFunction.Max(Selection)

Now I would like for a different cell to return the time value located one column to the left of the max value found above. I've tried to adapt other offset formulas that I've found to my purposes and haven't been able to make it work. how to do that using the max value as it is found in any of the above three ways

I spent couple of hours trying to figure this out, but without success. Please check the attached example. I need a formula that will find the max value (number of views in English anguage) in the column "I" and display the corresponding "Headline" value in the column "B". In the example it is "Headline 5".

I can not change position of the columns, i.e. "B" must remain "B" and "I" must remain "I".
I experimented with Index and vlookup but to no success. I have outlook 2003.

Force New Active Cell When Maximum Number Of Characters Is Reached
We have a form that requires descriptive comments to be entered into several rows of merged cells. My goal is to have the form be able to automatically dropped down to the next row of merged cells when the current row of merged cells reaches a maximum number of characters.

And finally, the last row of merged cells would not allow any more characters than the maximum assigned but not advance to another cell automatically.

The rows I am working with specifically are:
Merged Cells F23:R23; A24:R24; A25:R25; A26:R26;...A29:R29

Use Letters Corresponding To Value In Formulas
I'd like a function that converts a letter to a numerical value and returns a mean score for those values over a range. The values for each letter are:

A*100
A90
B70
C50
D40
E30
F20
G10
U0

So in the range G4:AB4 there could be 3 letters (G4:I4)

A* F E - their numerical equivalents in the table above = 100 + 20 + 30 = 150. The mean score for this range and expected output = 50 (150/3)

I have enclosed a sample spreadsheet. The range of grades that needs calculating is G4:AB4. Expected output should be in AC4.

Using Letters In An Auto Number
I have a database to which I am connecting a form, I need to have a unique ID for each record and due to the number of tables need to include letters in my numbering (ex. U00001, for Users; B00001, for Books; and V00001, for videos.) I have adjusted a very helpful macro I recieved from Roy Cox and am currently trying this code on the "user form":

Count_Row = 1
DATABASE_RECORDS = Sheets("Users"). Range("B1:B10000")

'To identify the next blank row in the database sheet
For Each DBRECORD In DATABASE_RECORDS

If DBRECORD <> "" Then Count_Row = Count_Row + 1
RowNum = Count_Row
X = RowNum - 1
Sheets("Users").Range("A1" & RowNum) = "U000" & X
Next DBRECORD

This is supposed to find the fill the "A" (ID) column after the "B" Column has been filled. Currently It is placing U0001 in cell A12 when all that is in the sheet is headers.
