in ROW 1 I have columns A thru AD populated with a number in each cell. what I need to do is take that number and fill the below cell with the number times a set character. for instance, A1 has "4" in it, so I want A2 to look like "----"
View 3 RepliesI would like to instantly mirror any selected cell within a specific column into another specified cell.
Example:
If A1 has the value 4, A2 has the value 6, A3 has 7, A4 has 9, and I click on those cells in the order above, I would like to see the cell I specify show the same value when I've selected (clicked on) them.
A macro was submitted in a similar thread, but I have a slightly different problem. I have empty cells, A1:A10, and in cells C1:C10 I have data. If A1 is selected, I would like to be able to click on any cell in colum C and that info then appears in A1. Then I will select A2, and again, click on any cell in C1:C10 and that appears in A2 and so on. I do not want cells A1 etc. to
change once populated. This can be a macro as well.
I need a VBA code to find the number of characters in each cell and display the result in next column.
For Ex:
ColA:
HI
who
There
output should be
ColA,ColB
HI,2
who,3
there,5
I have shown example for 3 rows only but there are chances like it contains more than 3 rows(Dynamic rows).I tried by creating Range variable but I couldn't succeeded.
I am looking too limit a cell too only contain 5 or 7 characters.
I can limit too one length, i.e. just 7, using the data validation function.
I'm creating a spreadsheet (Excel 2003) in which a user enters data in several cells, each of which will permit different numbers of characters (to include spaces). For example, in the first cell, the user will be limited to 50 characters, in the second cell, the limit is 30 characters, and so on.
I found the data validation error alert feature, but want to give the user a cue that the entry is too long so they know to stop typing before moving to the next cell. If they only are alerted when they finish making the entry, they might not take the time to properly reconstruct the entry to meet the size limitation. I'm trying to make this more user-friendly.
Is there a way to set up the worksheet so the user knows that the entry is approaching the character limit? For example, each character filling an individual cell or having a display appear with a count-down for the number of characters remaining in the limit, or something similar.
I have a column that is made up of postcodes, lat, long, eastern, northern data eg: SK10 5BA, 53.291013, -2.096675, 393652, 377121
And I want to end up with a column containing the lat (53.291013) and another containing the long (-2.096675).
I have worked out to use formula's to remove a certain number of characters from the left and right of the cell, but the challenge here is the postcode at the begining of the data, can be varying in length.
know of a formula that will let me copy a certain number of characters within the cell, but counted from the right, as the eastern and northern numbers are always the same length.
I have a cell (A1) with a number in it. The number has 30 digits. I need a formula for (B1) that will enter the same number as A1 but restrict the number to 28 digits. Basically I need it to cut off the last 2 digits.

This number must be refresh when you type the key, not when you push enter.
I have a description for a couple trucks in my inventory, rather than retyping all the mileage, I would like to select the miles out of the description.
Example:
14.0 Detroit 515 HP, 10 Spd OD, Engine Brake, Air Ride Suspension, 3.42 Ratio, 234" WB, 70" Double Deck Condo, 22.5LP Tires, Aluminum/Steel Wheels, Tandem Axle, 12,000# FA, 40,000# RA, 259,000 Miles
I have tried the find, left and mid formulas but haven't put something together to work just right. I would like to select the 7 characters to the left of "Miles".
Does anyone have any ideas?

I clicked on Custom then =LEN(A10)=6 which works when i enter more or less than 6 characters, however it lets you paste in something which has more than 6 charters.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI wish to limit the number of text characters in a cell and have excel prevent the entry of additional characters after limit is reached. I have tried the Data Validation but it does not preven the entry of additional characters. I want to be able to show the error immediately when the limit is reached and no additional characters are permitted.
View 3 Replies View RelatedDoes 2003 restrict how may characters that you can put in a wrapped cell? Is there anyway to expand?
View 3 Replies View RelatedWhen you want to use Data Validation to limit the entry of the number of characters to a cell does this apply only to the cell that you are entering the characters or can it also apply to a cell that contains a LEN(A1) formula, for instance? Also,does the Data Validation limitation function includes spaces as well? Will the message appear while you are entering the characters (when it has reached the limit) or will it wait until you have hit Enter?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe 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

Here is the situation.
I have a workbook with three sheets. It's a price/invoice/labor workbook.
Sheet 1 has all the data, including my cost and loss/gain fields
Sheet 2 has labor costs and the totals are linked to Sheet1
Sheet 3 is the customer copy of the first sheet. It does not include wholesale and profit info.
I'm trying to link the cells so that when info changes in Sheet 1, it's reflected, in real time on Sheet3
Right now I'm using a formula per cell ='Sheet1'!XXX (where XXX = the cell/column location, ie D15). The first column I started has this formula in every cell, about 100 in all, copied by hand and changed to reflect. It works, but it seems like there has to be an easier way to mirror or link the data. I tried pasting special with links, but continue to get errors as the link pather includes the entire file data path from the local machine.
I still have about 200 cells left and I'm dreading doing this all by hand. Also, If I add a new row to sheet1, this will not reflect in sheet 3.
I have some software that was written for me that scrapes data. It has a file in it that mirrors the web pages that it is scraping.
I would like to actually import those web pages one at a time based on a condition in the browser. The code of the web page is html. When one of the 35 mirror web page's "MTP" = "POST", I would like for all the web page to be loaded into a sheet called WPS. I would want that to stay loaded until "MTP" = "OFF". There may be more that one of the mirrored web pages with "MTP" = "POST". In that case, only one can be loaded at a time and that is fine. Once the "MTP" = "OFF", I want it to go to the next mirrored web pages with "MTP" = "POST" and load that web page from the mirror file.
Here are 4 of the 35 web pages that are mirrored and their paths
