Unknown Characters
Apr 20, 2009
Using web queries i get in a cell ie:
3¾
or
1¼
The last part of these "numbers" (3/4, 1/2, 1/4) is text that i want to convert into numbers (0.75, 0.5, 0.25).
If i isolate this text in a cell (with the right() formula) the code() formula gives 63 as result for all the above texts.
I may solve the problen storing these texts (3/4, 1/2, 1/4) in separate cells (pre-fixed in some cells) and then for my new data (from query) do some search/find .
Is there a better way solving this using a different way-macro?

I have two access databases which export results to two excel files. I am trying to compair the two excel files (generated by access databases) to find the common data in the two files. I am using Vlookup function.
The data looks like this
File 1
Serial No Fault
40293 A
40294 B
File 2
Serial No Solution
40293 Procedure 1
40294 Procedure 2
The result should be
Serial No Fault Solution
40293 A Procedure 1
etc...
But the column serial no in file 1 has some unknown characters like 40293followed by a small square or a vertical line. The datasource for the access file that generates file 1 is actually a lotus notes database. I think thats what causing this. Is there a solution to clear these spurious characters?
The VLookup function works fine if I manually delete those characters.

I have a exel file which has been exported from Access to exel. There are many cells which shows the data as in Cell A1 with the Linefeed character in between data in a cell. Is there any way (may be using a macro) where I can remove the character and get it to display as B1 in the same cell(A1). The file is attached herewith.

I've been working on a spreadsheet and these forums have been a great help. I'm now at the very last section and, surprise surprise, it's also the hardest!
I'm creating a stock trade recording sheet. I have a userform ask the user to enter a date, a time, the number of stock purchased, and the price of the stock. These are then entered in a new row.
Now what I want to do is have summary cells which say how many stocks were purchased and the total profit made for each day. Since each time is given its own row, I can't know in advance which rows to sum over. I also don't know on which days a trade was made. So a summary cell should only exist if a trade was made that day.
Could I do something like.... check if the date matches then sum over all the values for that date? So if column A has the dates, can I say "Search which rows in column A have this date" then "for those rows, sum column C"?
Also, how would I create a a row for each traded date's summary cell and enter the date in it? I've attached a spreadsheets which manually demonstrates what I want to do (no macros) and a spreadsheet with what I have so far (basic macros).
Any and all help much appreciated, I just need to get my head around creating and dealing with variable ranges. Is that a really advanced task? I don't think this is a one line solution so please bear with me while I make mistakes!

I am using a spreadsheet written by someone else that contains a type of cell entry I am not familiar with. These occur in several tables. The first 3 columns of each table contain numbers or basic formulas. These are followed by two columns in which every entry appears to be the following:
{=TABLE(,B33)}
Despite the same apparent "formula", the number displayed in each of these cells is different. If I click on the formula display box (to the right of the cell address box) to edit the "formula", the brackets disappear.
Can anyone tell me what sort of beast I am dealing with here?

I'm modifying a template that originally shipped with Excel 2003 (I have not upgraded to 2007). In the template, there is a pop-up box (not a dialog box) that shows up when I'm on certain cells. I've attached an image of it. It's the yellow box containing the words "Company Information..." etc. I cannot find any way to remove it! It's not a comment, and selecting it doesn't allow you to edit it. What is it, and does anyone know how to remove it?

Trying to sum up a column that has an unknown length. This is a canned Excel form that is saved within a software system and is used to create customized documents. Usually, I would enter the table name.field name in a cell to pull the data from various parts of the system.
In this case, that data resides in AA234 of my customized Excel sheet. When the user retrieves this doc from the system, the data could run several rows, starting from AA30 to AA255. So, in my "Total" cell, I've entered =SUM(AA1:AA255), so it will just add up whatever is in the column, regardless of how long it runs upon document generation. When I try to pull the document, I get "=SUM(#REF!)" in that field instead.

I'm trying to set a range to a particular cell in Col D but I don't know the row number because this can vary depending on the amount of data entered. At present my code looks like this
Dim MyCount As Integer
Dim r1 As Range
'No of rows in Col D
MyCount = Range("A2:D2", Range("A2:D2").End(xlDown)).Rows.Count
Set r1 = Range(Cells(MyCount, 4))
The problem is with my line
Set r1 = Range(Cells(MyCount, 4))

The colours are just to mark the ranges
As every month is different the number of sheets adding up to the Red sheets(week total)
will change and the same with the Blue sheet(month end total)
Is there a code I can run for this summing up to be done?
Yellow is where data is entered
Red is where the Yellows range sheets need to add up before it
The Blue is where all the Red range sheets need to add up

I have a spreadsheet (attached) with historic weather data for a certain location.
Column A (Weather Day)
1-Jan
2-Jan
3-Jan
...
...
31-Dec
Column B (Record High)
28.4
39.2
37.4
...
...
39.2
Column C (Record Low)
-36.4
-38.2
-32.8
...
...
-36.4
I have a user defined/input "Entry Date" & "Exit Date"
The code to return the max is as follows: {=TEXT(MAX((Weather_Day>=Entry_Date)*(Weather_Day<=Exit_Date)*(Temp_Record_High)), "0.0") & " áµ’F"}
This code works perfectly fine for all input dates and returns the Record High between any Entry/Exit day.
The code to return the min is as follows: {=TEXT(MIN((Weather_Day>=Entry_Date)*(Weather_Day<=Exit_Date)*(Temp_Record_High)), "0.0") & " áµ’F"}
It's identical except MAX is now MIN. However, the returned MIN doesn't always return the correct value. It is either correct or returns 0.0.
Examples would be:
Entry Date: 4-20
Exit Date: 6-25
Both values return correctly
Entry Date: 4-21
Exit Date: 6-25
Record High returns correctly, Record Low = 0.0
Entry Date: 4-21
Exit Date: 11-7
Both values return correctly. However, with 4-21 as the Entry, 11-7 is the first Exit date to return a correct MIN value.

I need to know the function to copy an unknown amount of rows. After a certain row it should copy everything.
So like after row A6 it copys every row below it with data in them then I want to paste it in another worksheet. I dont want to just do
Rows("6:65000").Select
Selection.Copy
If someone could point me to a good site that explains alot of useful VBA commands that would help me alot. Most of my problems come from just not knowing the full function names.

I'm attempting to create a macro that will look at the total in column (K) and send an e-mail to two different addresses, depending on the amount. If the amount is over $10,000 then one address (over@macro.com) if under, then the other (under@macro.com)
My main problem is that I never know what cell the total is going to be in.
I currently have all quotes going back to the person that sent in the request, no matter what the amount. Their e-mail is in the sheet.
So what I think I need to do, is find the last cell in column K with data and assign it a variable. If that variable is over $10,000 then I can send the e-mail to a hard coded address. If it's over, I just use my original code.

i have a list of countries in a column and have to go through this column ensuring they are in the correct format. I'm struggling to figure out how to iterate through each row of the column, test it's value and then change if necessary...
for example
column a --> column A(modified)
Usa --> USA
Ukraine - Mobile (Umc) --> Ukraine - Mobile (UMC)
Uk --> UK
Uruguay --> Uruguay
so values in column a becomes like those shown above.

I have the following setup,
Down column A I have a list of jobs, job 1 , job 2 etc
Down column b I have either a blank cell or other data (will be numbers but is irrelevant)
What I want is a formula for a cell that tells me which titles in column A have any data at all in column b. I need it to look like the following : Job 1, Job 2, Job 4
assuming b1 b2 and b4 have any contents and b3 and b5 and onwards are empty
I am seeing that concentate gives me close to what I want but the number of rows in column a and b change constantly and also may be above 30

I am working with 2 workbooks the first one "LH Enrollment" is used to enter information for new students being enrolled in the program. After the information is entered the macro is then copying the information to the second workbook "LH Children Records". The part I'm stuck on is that I now need to sort alphabetically by last name which is entered on Sheet 1, Column B of "LH Children Records". The number of columns will stay the same but the number of rows will change each time a new child is added. Eventually all this information gets copied over to several other workbooks, but I'm stuck trying to sort. I have attached both workbooks

I have a macro set up to copy and paste data from worksheets into worksheet 1. But the number of worksheets often changes. Is there a way to write this to include all worksheets even if the number changes?
Windows("0285 WORKING FILE 0406.XLS").Activate
Sheets(3).Select
Application.Goto Reference:="R500C33"
Range("A9:AG500").Select
Range("AG500").Activate

Range("A9:AG500").Select

Sometimes I will receive this file and there will be additional tabs. I just never know how many.
I copy down 500 rows knowing there will never be more data than that. And for each worksheet I paste to sheet 1 I add 500 rows to not paste over other data.
I would like the computer to read it as "select last indexed worksheet, copy paste to index 1, repeat while selecting the left adjacent worksheet until you reach index 1.
For each new worksheet selected add 500 rows to the last pasted amount."

I have a macro that uses user input to locate a file. If no file is found matching the user input, a message box displays informing the user. However, if a file is found that matches the user input, the file should simply open. If a file is found, the macro successfully opens the file however it will still display the message box saying no file is found. Since the message box is triggered by an error, there must be another error I haven't accounted for in my code.
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Private Sub CrmFrm1_Click()
If Len(TextBox1) <> 12 Then
MsgBox "Incorrect Case File Number"
FrmNew.TextBox1.SetFocus
Exit Sub
End If
Dim MyCase
MyCase = Dir("S:AccountingProbationTest Files" & FrmNew.TextBox1.Value)
On Error Goto ErrorHandler
Workbooks.Open Filename:="S:AccountingProbationTest Files" & FrmNew.TextBox1.Value
Unload Me
ErrorHandler:
MsgBox "No file found for this Case Number." & Chr(13) & "Please proceed to Template.", 0, "No File Found"
