I am building an application through Excel to update specific internal website information. My question is, is there an easier way to identify and view the tags on a web page without having to right-click and "view source"?
View 2 RepliesI have attached an excel sheet with the input and output required.
It is basically concatenation vertically with certain tags.
Is there a method by which i can achieve this. MACRO OR FORMULA??
Book_test.xls
I have lots of text with HTML tags attached, I would like to delete the tags and be left with only the text. Is there an easy way to do this?
eg.....
Excel 2007 - need to adjust protected view settings but the protected view tab is missing from my Trust Centre settings - have the following tabs - trusted publisher / location, add-ins, activeX, macro, message bar, external content and privacy options. Document is a revenue authority download and without being able to adjust the protected view settings, can't input data.

The quality and content is consistent but sometimes the order of the columns is different. At the moment that totally throws out my macro as it relies on certain columns for certain functions.
Trying to nut out the best way to import an XML file, keep only the specific columns I want - by content not location so then all follow on formula's will work and reference the correct data.
I have one theory that I can't get going. I thought if using defined names based on column headers this would allow me to keep and sort the columns I want. I can't find any examples to support this. I have been looking at the advanced filter but most examples reference exact cells which isn't flexible and leaves open to wrong data being pulled. Since I can't control the source doc what can I do?
Here is the data i'm working with.
Name of player
Score of round
bag tag the player came in with
bag tag the player is leaving with
Here is what I'm trying to accomplish. I usually just copy and paste (then sort the data) but I want a spreadsheet that I can enter raw data and just look at the results I will already have the players names in my sheet. Before the round I'll get everyone's tags it will not always be in order (EX: 1,3,15,22,34,66...etc) some tags will always be missing. After the round I'll enter the scores. What I can't figure out is how to leave my sheet in alphabetical order and have my spreadsheet populate the "leaving tag" column with the correct tag based on the players score....
name score tagin tagout
bob 22 2 2
carl 44 15 23
ed 33 23 15
Can't tell if that translated, couldn't use a table....
basically I would like to leave column A where it is the whole time add the data to column B and C The use the data from column B to sort the values from column C numerically to column D (basically copy and rank then display the numbers in order). To throw in a twist if the data in column B is the same for two or more people the formula would need to take the lower number from column C to determine who gets the lower tag in column D.

I have a pie chart, and the value's are based off of a refreshable query. How can I set the pie chart tags to, for example, =C14 and then the next tag =C15?
I know you can go to source data, and select the cells that you want the pie chart to display, but the problem with that, is when the data is refreshed the data in the cells refresh, whereas the pie chart tags do no.
Finding a way to tell excel to pull Comments and Tags from files. I pulled the following code from another source:
VB:
'Force the explicit delcaration of variables
Option Explicit
Sub ListFiles()
'Declare the variables
Dim objFSO As Scripting.FileSystemObject
Dim objTopFolder As Scripting.Folder
[Code] ....
I have been using it to get the Name, Size, Type, and relevant Dates associated with files in a folder. However, this doesn't seem to work with finding Comments, Tags, etc.
I have found functions that are used to pull Comments and Tags from files but haven't been able to incorporate them in to the code I already have.
I'm trying to figure out a macro that will add b and /b tags around bold text. Bolded text can appear multiple times within a cell. I need it to run on all cells within a sheet.
So I need it to:
1. Search for bold strings within cells
2. Identify the length of the bolded strings
3. Add b and /b at the beginning and end of those strings
4. Repeat for all active cells
The only macro I was able to work out adds tags to only the last bolded string, whereas I need the tags on several non-continuous strings.
I have multiple excel sheets wherein the content has bold, italic, underlined, normal text. I want to replace such texts with relevant html tags.Example is below

Any way via VBA to remove HTML tags from a string that has been imported into a cell?
For example, if the cell contained(bearing in mind I can't actually use HTML tags in this post...
"LeftPointyBracket" B "RightPointyBracket" CatDog "LeftPointyBracket" I "RightPointyBracket" Elephant "LeftPointyBracket" B/ "RightPointyBracket"I would need CatDogElephant returning. So, any pointy brackets and anything between pairs of pointy brackets needs to be removed.
How the like operator works with brackets and # tags etc...

It needs to remove all occurrences of the "" characters, plus anything that is found between a "< >" pair.
Basically I have a large database of folders of examples of projects/notes etc, each with essentially lots of potential topic "tags". I want to sort them to be able to tell the macro what topic I am looking for and it give me the folders that contain that info. I will need to tag each folder individually (which is no problem). I am looking for a piece of script (that either exists or that I can write) that will do the following:
- tag specific folders with numerous "tags". The folders will all be stored in a database. The tags will be user input.
- sort these folders based on specified tags and show filepath/location/name/file number or something unique based on the tags input.
I'm trying to take the contents of an excel speadsheet and write it to an html file with my own formatting. For example I would like the row:
|32|55|28|
to end up in the html file as:
<tr>
<td class="align-right">32</td>
<td>55</td>
<td class="">28</td>
</tr>
In theory it seemed fairly simple to loop through a sheet and write before and after each cell, but once I tried writing the code I realized I was in way over my head.
This is going to be difficult to explain, but I'll try... I need to be able to format a sheet that has all data in column format. Column A contains a number and B an application. C contains the issue data. I need the issue data to be moved under column A and B as illustrated below. What formula can I do to accomplish this?

Can't get html or the image tags to work for some reason.
I have an Excel 2003 list with four columns as shown below:
Zipcode
CRRT
Count
Bundles
85710
C004
693
14
85710
C005
867
18
85710
C006
1021
21
I want to "expand" this list to use in a Mail Merge program to produce tags for our direct mailing. Each bundle contains 50 letters, so in the first line on the above spreadsheet, there will be 13 bundles of 50 and 1 of 43. Currently, I can cut and paste to create the following table, but there has to be an easier way...
Zipcode
CRRT
Count
bcount
Bundle
ibundle
85710
C004
693
50
1
14
[Code] ........
So as I pull this into a mail merge I will get a tag that shows the zipcode, the crrt, the total pieces for that crrt, then number of the bundle for example " 1 of 14" and the quantity in that bundle, for example "50 of 693", then the next bundle tag will print, 3 to a page. I know that here has to be an easier way either in the mail merging process itself or with EXCEL? Am even open to build these with ACCESS to create the tags. The beginning database contains anywhere from 350 to 800 lines of original data, so as you can see the cut and paste is VERY time consuming.
Is there a standard way to organize sections of code with code tags? Due to the nature of my work, there is a lot of documentation involved. And, my spreadsheets rely heavily on VBA. These code tag sections will be going into a design specification, so that there is a layer of traceability from the document to the program. These are the general sections or item numbers that I've come up with.
1. Dimensions and Variables
2. Data
3. Processing the Data
4. Rules of analysis
5. Analysis
6. Formatting
I guess I'm looking for something standard like UML diagrams for DFDs, but with tagging code to break them up into sections?
