I just reinstalled windows (XP) and Office 2003, SP3.
When entering text in a column and if it was larger than the current column, it used to just display into the next column unless there was data in that column.
Now, it just displays a few letter from the end of the first word. How can I change this back as default?
I am submitting a book CSV file to my website. However, the website will not accept any cell that contains more than 80 characters. The error states the following. "WARNING: Title should be less than or equal to 80 chars; your Title was truncated to 80 chars" repeated 13 times.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a form in Excel that has comments fields. Each comments field is a merged cell consisting of four rows and four columns. My understanding is that Excel should be able to display 1024 characters. The input that's causing me trouble has 360 characters. At around 300 characters, the text box gets filled with ############################# instead of text.
If I size the font down significantly to where there would be absolutely no question that the text would fit, it is still #######. I may have to end up using text boxes, but they are a bit troublesome for the less Excel-savvy users of the form.
i need help with 2 formulas to return text within a longer string.
the first result i need is a style #. this will always start at the 5th character, but the length is variable. it will always end right before the last "/" or "" in the string (there may or may not be a / or within the style number)
the 2nd result i need is a description of the style. this will always be after the last "/" or "" in the string and end before a ".", but there may not always be a period in the string.
Text string: ABC123123BASIC TEE.black
Style # result: 123123
Description result: BASIC TEE
Text string: DEF/4567LEAH/FLORAL TANK DRESS
Style # result: 4567LEAH
Description result: FLORAL TANK DRESS
this is a hard nut I've been working on for a while. I have a worksheet that in column A has the following rows:
| A
1 | 21432 - Accessories
2 | SortPrice
3 | 1
4 | 2
5 | 3
6 | 4
7 | 5
8 | 6
9 | 21440 - Furniture
10| SortPrice
11| 1
12| 2
and so on...
What I'm trying to do, is to make a macro that will fill the value "21432 - Accessories" down until the next which is "21440 - Furniture", which then should be filled down until the next 5 digit value..
In my opinion the best way to approach it would be to search for a string longer than say 10 characters, then fill it down until the next string that's longer than 10 characters..
This is what I'd like it to look like after the macro has been run:
| A
1 | 21432 - Accessories
2 | 21432 - Accessories
3 | 21432 - Accessories
4 | 21432 - Accessories
5 | 21432 - Accessories
6 | 21432 - Accessories
7 | 21432 - Accessories
8 | 21432 - Accessories
9 | 21440 - Furniture
10| 21440 - Furniture
11| 21440 - Furniture
12| 21440 - Furniture
and so on...
how to add a vlookup to a longer macro I'm working on but I keep running into a variety of errors. I ended up creating a new Sub () to test out a very simple vlookup macro in the hopes of figuring out what's going on.
I went to this website VLOOKUP In VBA and copied exactly a sample code they provided there (only thing I changed was substituting in my own lookup value and range), but I'm still getting an "object required" error. Is there something wrong with the provided code, or do I have a setting off on my computer? I've tried to use vlookup in a macro several different ways but I keep getting assorted errors (including object required)
Code:
Sub Fustrated()
Dim E_name As String
E_name = "Lira"
Sal = Application.WorksheetFunction.VLookup(E_name, Admin.Range("AF3:AG12"), 2, False)
MsgBox "Number" And Sal
End Sub
I am working with a lot of data and have been making a table of statistical analysis for several rock types. I have it worked out to where i can filter the data and with the use of a bunch of IF functions, below, and it keeps everything the way I want.
{=MAX(IF($H$2:$H$22="sedimentary rocks",$W$2:$W$22))}
The problem is I have to introduce new rock types, but if I just copy the formulas over i then have to go through hundreds of cells and switch sedimentary rocks to volcanic or whatever new class i have.
How this can be done faster. Maybe some way to say "find "text" within this range and replace" i can do it for actual values but when its embedded in a function im not sure.
Can you make validation lists longer than 9 items?

I have several Workbooks that I use regularly. Without making any changes that I know of, recently several of the workbooks began opening too long and a little off to the right.
I can grab the top header and move them back to the left but I have no visible bottom slider bar and the side slider bar when at the lowest point that I can pull it down to is about 1000 rows from the last entry. I have other Workbooks that are working perfectly. Its like my Monitor needs to be two inches taller.
I have checked View settings -- Format Settings -- Resizing and all other things that I can think of, all to no avail.
Using Control G and trying to mentally keep track of my current last line number to enter a new row is really getting Old.
Is there any way to do this, using VBA etc? I can't make the filename shorter since it's a thematic map from Google Charts.
View 9 Replies View RelatedThis macro ran fine until I started using Offset on ranges to have them extend. The macro replaces "L" with blanks but does not go on to delete the rows. The name "Type" refers to =Offset(Mem05!$A$2,0,0, CountA(Mem05!$A$2:$A$270),10)

I have used the LOOKUP formula several times with no problem.
Now -- even in the simplest example -- I can't get it to work as I expect.
Rather than explain, attached is a very simple spreadsheet that shows how the LOOKUP formula is returning a different value than I would expect.
As mentioned on the spreadsheet, the value I would expect to be returned is "euro", not "other sam".
All of the sudden, I've started having issues on one PC with Excel opening CSV files.
I work with these files every day and they work on other computers.
The problem is that if the field value starts with a dash, Excel will not show any records before that. Meaning, if there is a record on line 50000 that starts with a dash, it will not show the previous 49000 records.
I can open the file in Notepad++ and find all '- and replace it with ' and it will work fine. But I have hundreds of files.
This just started. I'm using using Office 2010 x64. I'm tempted to get Office 2013 to see if this will resolve it as something has obviously went wrong.
In the past, I would open the CSV files just like any Excel file and NEVER any issues. I would do this with multiple files each day but even the file that I use to not have issues with in the past is now an issue if it has a dash in a field.
I created three macros to work with reporting for my company.
One sorts a field, another deletes unwanted columns, and the third double checks columns for answers--I work for a telecom polling firm.
It was working last week on my computer, and it still works on another computer at the office. However, I keep getting an error message when I try to run it.
The message is "Compile Error: Expected Function or Variable". The code is below, and bolded where it breaks down.
--selection.Autofilter
[Code] .......
What could be the rationale for the sudden breakdown? I was testing it on a file that I have tested with before without issue. I also tried a second file, and even restarted my computer. I am currently trying to write a fourth macro for counting responses and giving percentages, so while I don't need to have the perfectly cleaned data to do so it would be nice to have.
I can't attach the file as it is too big for the site. The file has a front sheet called "Viewer". The filters at the top used to work. They would reduce the results in the table underneath. For some reason this is no longer working.
It uses the lookup tables on the Lookup tab but then uses arrays I think.
I can't find it on my computer either, where is it hidden?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a large list of parcels to be delivered which have names, the last 2 letters of the postcodes, addresses tel. no. etc. I have created a custom sort list of postcodes in the order I want to deliver them. I can only list a total of 85 postcodes since there are 2 characters in each postcode and a return at the end of each line, hence 85*3=255.
Is there any way I can make excel sort my list of parcels using a spreadsheet list of the 2 postcode letters of unlimited length? There is a theoretical maximum of 676 postcodes in my area (26*26) so I would need it to be at least this long. It would also be more convenient if it were an excel based list since the editing of such a list would be more convenient.
I'm working on a spreadsheet which will sum values from two source worksheets based on the month and year in certain columns. I put together a summary worksheet and was able to successfully pull the data I wanted. So my next step was to convert the Summary data into a table (because I prefer the aesthetic value of the "greenbar" effect in Excel tables). But as soon as I converted the cells to a table, the formulas returned nothing.
After playing around with it, I determined that the problem seems to be the fact that I use the year criteria as a cell reference (that way, I can later change the year in one cell and update all the dependent formula). I've got "2013" in Cell A1 in General format, and all the formulas use a YEAR=$A$1 criterion. I found out that if I changed the formulas to YEAR=2013 instead of using the cell reference, I got the desired result again. But I cannot quite understand why changing the data into a table would alter the way Excel interprets the formula (plus, I still want to be able to change the year by updating one single cell).
I have a macro that used to create a new book for each of the worksheets in a workbook that would name them the same as the worksheet.
Since our company upgraded to Windows 7 the macro, more often than not, fails to work.
The code for the macro is
Code:
Sub NewBook1()
'
Set wbSource = ActiveWorkbook
For Each ws In wbSource.Sheets
ws.Copy
Set wbDest = ActiveWorkbook
wbDest.SaveAs strSavePath & filePrefix & " " & ws.Name & " " & fileSuffix
wbDest.Close
Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
'
End Sub
I was using some Excel Macros as shortcuts to go to and log into some common web sites I use everyday. After my company upgraded us from XP to windows 7 the macros stop in the middle on a line of code(in bold) and I am not sure why. Do I need a pause or delay to give it time?

When trying to import an excel file (.xlsx) from the web to a local excel file on my computer, I have tried to set up a macro to automate this process. I recorded a macro using the "record macro" function, but when trying to import the .xlsx file, the URL was too long and Excel does not allow for such long URLs.
The URL in question is:
[URL]
One solution which I thought of was to shorten the URL with tinyurl.com, which converted the URL to: [URL] . I then used this in the macro recording and it indeed worked. I then tried to substitute all instances of the tinyurl in the VBA code with the long URL, but the
Code:
.SourceDataFile = "http://www.transelectrica.ro/widget/...let_excel=true"
was regarded as an invalid cell/argument.
Is there any way in which I can make this work? I need to have the whole URL, as in the end I plan to have an automated process with the URL changing every 10 seconds with the system clock (and thus refreshing the imported table every 10 seconds), so going through tinyurl every time is not an option.
This vba code is supposed to move the cursor to the Cacluate1 command button when the user clicked on cell H6.

I have a workbook that archives by date and is saved for 1 month at a time. At the end of the month, all the archived workbooks are moved to another location and are no longer needed.
The problem I am having is I don't know how to break the link between the master and all the saved workbooks. So when I open the master it is looking for the old workbooks in the folder location and they do not exist. How do I break this link?
I have a workbook created in Excel2003 as an xls with a nuumber of buttons to call macros. I converted it to an xlsm in Excel2007 and now get the message "((#Ref.xls could not be found..." whenever I click any of the macro buttons. Event code in the individual worksheets works fine.

I have been working on this application for the past couple weeks and I have this module of code that copy's a worksheet into a new workbook and changes everything into values. However I have added buttons onto this sheet and after running the code again it froze the program, in which I had to manually end. It gave an error afterwards however I don't remember what it said. Now everything I try to run or step through it, nothing happens. And I have turned Events and ScreenUpdating on.
I would also like to note that it won't allow me to perform actions like unhide sheets or unprotect them. The code has not been changed either so what has happened to disable all functionality.

In an effort to manipulate the xml documents within an xls, you used to be able to change the extension to .zip then open. This no longer works for me, just getting the 'cannot open file: it does not appear to be a valid archive.
I have tried it with a number of different files, but no joy.
It still works with a .doc so I guess it's not that Microsoft have stopped this capability?
Using Excel 2007
I am using Excel 2007. When I pulled up a workbook today with 3 sheets in it, all that comes up is the first sheet and the sheet tabs at the bottom of the screen are no longer there. I must have accidentlly pushed some button, but I can't get to the other sheets. I really need the information on the other sheets. How do I restore the view that shows the sheet numbers at the bottom?

View 2 Replies View RelatedHow to create a formula to determine the longer period of time between two date calculations and enter the longer period of time in the cell.
My Spreadsheet:
Cell M2: Birthdate (entered in cell as 11/1/2004)
Cell J2: Last date of service (entered in cell as 10/31/2011)
Cell G2: Calculation to enter the longer period of time between (M2 (year) + 21) and (J2 (year) + 7)
Example using information from above:
2004 + 21 = 2025
2011 + 7 = 2018
2025 is the result I want added to G2
If there is any way to include the month/year in G2 that would be ideal.
