Visual Basic :: Separating The Last Word In Each Cell In A Column

Separating Value Of One Cell Into 2 Cells
Hi there. I got hundreds of user names with format of "surname, other name" (e.g. Goodman, Philip) stored in one column. Now I want to separate the surnames in one column and other names in another column for ease of maintenance. I guess there is a way to do that by identifying the "," but fail to kick it off in vba (excel).
Any hints please?

Cheers.

Protect First Cell In The Column
Hi,

I want the user to be able to edit all parts of the worksheet except for the first cell of the column(s) that I inserted and filled in through code.
(eg. row 1 column 5)

Are there any suggestions on the best way to do this. I want to password

One concern I have is that I will be inserting new columns at subsequent time and I would like to know if the old protected cells will remain protected.

thanks!

Continuoulsy Selecting A Cell In Column B
Hi,

I'm running a loop which, at the end of each row, offsets back to the corresponding cell value in column B. Each row in column B contains a name which I then enter in a message box to prompt the user.

I can write code to select a name in a specific cell, such as B2, B3 etc but i'm unsure how to write the code to continuously know to select the value in column B of a particular row.

A section of my code looks like...

Ans = Msgbox Sheets("Records").range("B2").column

I'm stuck at the moment and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Copy Formula Down To Last Cell In Column
Hello,
I am working on an excel sheet for Incident Tracking, There are two columns in the sheet that have formulas (different formulas), one for generating unique ID number [IF(COUNTA(B2:Q2)>0,"INT-" & ROW(B2)-1,"")] and the other one is to workout the difference between two dates [NETWORKDAYS(B2,D2)].

Now my problem is when I typed in the formulas in the formula bar for each cell, the formulas are not copied automatically to the next row. I have to type them again in the cells, or copy and paste the formula then change the row numbers. How can I automatically make one formula copied to the end of the column?

Since I am a beginner, could you please help me with different solutions to do this.

P.S: I searched in the website and there is one method I noticed to do that, which is Tools>Options>Extend forms and fomulas... But it didn't work for me and didn't copy any formulas.

Thanks

Find Last Cell In A Column In Excel
I have found an old thread at this site which gives a number of ways to use vb to find the last cell in a column in an exec spreadsheet. I have tried them all but none works.
for example, if I use

Dim numP1 As Excel.Range
Dim XLWS As Excel.Worksheet

numP1 = XLWS.Range("A65536").End(-4162)

or

numP1 = XLWS.Range("A65536").End(Excel.XlDirection.xlUp)

I always get a runtime error "Object variable or With block variable not set"

Could someone tell me what I am missing please?

Delete Row If Cell In Column Contains Data
So what I am looking for and can not figure out is

look down column M and if a cell contains anything at all I want to programatically delete the entire row the cell is in.

Something along the lines of the below but reverse

iRow = ws.Cells.Range("M1").End(xlDown).Row + 1
Selection.EntireRow.delete

This finds the empty cell but I want to find all the cells that contain data and delet the row they are in?

Click A Flexgrid Row, Get Value Of Cell In Column 0 ?
I have a flexgrid with 6 columns and various amounts of rows.

If I click anywhere in the flexgrid I want to move the value of the cell in column 0 for that row in to a textbox.

Is there a quick way to do this ?

Last time I trapped values in cells I had to declare 2 variables called X and Y and plot where I was, but I'm not sure if this is the best way to go.

Any takers ?

Datagrid Column/ Cell Color
I have a quastion: is it possible to give the columns in a datagrid
different colors. For example columns 0 to 4 white and columns 5 to 6
yellow.
Even better is to give the cells a different color and not the columns, that
makes it more flexible for me.

Need Help To Find The Last Non-empty Cell In A Column Dynamically
Hi!
I need to get the value in the last filled cell of a column. My cells in the column have values - either TRUE or FALSE or <blank>. I need to get the last cell value in the column (only the TRUE and FALSE, I don't need to take in the blanks).

Column NumberValue
C27FALSE
C28FALSE
C29TRUE
C30FALSE
C31FALSE
C32FALSE
C33FALSE
C34
C35

Does anybody have any suggestions?

There's one more thing. The values are in Column C (let's say). And whenever there is a change in the worksheet, the cells keep being filled downwards. Now, I need to get the last value of the column and put it in say J2. This cell J2 should keep getting updated with the latest value. I don't want to have the formula repeated downwards. The last
filled value in the cell (which keeps changing dynamically - the ranges change dynamically) should be updated in cell J2.

For example, first the cells C2 to C5 are filled with True or False. The rest of the cells are <blanks>. So, I want the value of C5 to be in J2.

Next, the cells filled will be C2 to c8. Then I need the value of cell C8 to be in J2.

Let me also tell you that Cells in column C are filled based on the formula - =IF(G23<>" ",AND(G23=1,F23=0),"")

Thank you!

How To Accumulate A Running Total For Each Cell In A Column
Hi,

I'm a newbie to the board. Also a newbie to Excel, although I made my living for about 10 or so years coding integrations using Access VBA, and before that, as a professional coder in a big, awkward database/OS called PICK. Thats just so folks know I'm not an inexperienced coder. But I'm a newbie to Excel.

So, I've wrestled for days to figure something out. I'm sure I'll be embarassed when its explained to me, but whats a little pride? LOL

I've a datafeed coming in over DDE. Column B is entitled LAST, column C is entitled TRADE_VOL, column D is entitled TRADE_TIME, & column H is entitled ASK.

Here's what I want but can't figure out: I want a running total column of the amount of volume that happens at ASK and a running total column of volume that happens not at ASK. I'll call these two columns ASKSIDE & BIDSIDE, respectively.

So, every time a trade happens, TRADE_TIME changes. When an event happens on TRADE_TIME, I want to look at the current value of LAST, ASK & TRADE_VOL. If LAST < ASK, then I want to add TRADE_VOL to my BIDSIDE column else, I add it to ASKSIDE.

My problem is that I keep running into the fact that I can't seem to add TRADE_VOL to the new columns. In the database languages I code in, it would be something like:
IF LAST < ASK then BIDSIDE = BIDSIDE + TRADE_VOL else ASKSIDE = ASKSIDE + TRADE_VOL.

It seems that, in Excel, to can't refer to the variable BIDSIDE (or ASKSIDE) on both sides of the equals sign. How does Excel handle this kind of issue? I can't figure it out.

TIA

Move Active Cell After Column Sort
Hi,
simple as this may seem ... it is getting the better of me and i am having trouble finding anything using search.

here is my code

Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_change(ByVal target As Range)

' Check Location of changes and convert to Caps if needed
Application.EnableEvents = False
Dim aryRange(3) As Range

Set aryRange(1) = Application.Intersect(target, Range("C5:C254")) ' Callsign
Set aryRange(2) = Application.Intersect(target, Range("D5: D254")) ' F400 Number
Set aryRange(3) = Application.Intersect(target, Range("E5:E254")) ' Insurance

For Each rng In aryRange
If Not rng Is Nothing Then
For Each cl In target.Cells
If Not cl.Value = "" Then cl.Value = UCase(cl.Value)
Next cl
End If
Next rng

Erase aryRange

' Sort into F400 Number order

Application.Sheets("November").Unprotect ("*****")
Worksheets("November").Range("B5:G254").Sort Key1:=Worksheets("November").Range("D5"), Order1:=xlAscending
Application.Sheets("November").Protect ("*****")
'
Application.EnableEvents = True

End Sub

when i enter the data in any of the monitored cells and hit return the code sorts the sheet into the order i want (and corrects it to caps) ... this all works fine, except that it leaves the cursor in the old row position, it moves 1 cell to the right as expected, but i need the activecell to move to the row of the last entered data, so i can continue to enter other stuff in the remaining cells.

thanks in advance for any help you could give

Sending Rows From One Sheet To Another Based On Cell Value In Column A
Hi everyone

I've been racking my brains since yesterday to come up with an answer to this but to no avail so am hoping that one of you lovely people can help me out.

What it is, I have a worksheet, "Data", that contains 7 columns, and lots of rows (will be different each time report is run). I also have five other worksheets, Revenues, Benefits, etc etc.

Column A in the Data sheet are Team Managers names. Each team manger is from a specific service. What i want to do (by poss a comand button on each of the other worksheets?), is to copy the the rows from the data sheet based on whether the team manager relates to that service, i.e.

1 Joe Bloggs
2 Joe Bloggs
3 Bob Smith
4 Andy Jones
5 Andy Jones

So if Joe Bloggs is on revenues, then I want rows 1 and 2 to be copied to the sheet Revenues, Bob Smith is on benefits so I want row 3 to be copied to the worksheet Benefits. Then Andy Jones is also on Revenues so I want rows 4 and 5 to be copied to the Revenues sheet, being careful not to overwrite the rows that have already been copied there.

I know you're probably thinking why can't this be done by copying and pasting but there is sometimes in excess of 2000 rows and this would take a very long time to do.

Any help on this and I would be extremely grateful.

Cheers
Lindsey

Cell Format, Determining Type Of Cell Content (string/real/integer) And Cell Size

Copy A Cell To A Word Table
This type of topic has been going around a lot lately. I have been searching the forum, but am still lost on the subject. I have taught myself VBA in Excel and feel very comfortable with that. However, I know need to copy a cell(s) to a word table and am having a great deal of trouble with this. Can't seem to get it through my thick skull I guess. BTW have done a google search as well. Anyway, here is the story...

I have a sales worksheet that is filed out when an admin person answers the phone. The worksheet contains basic information...name address reason for call and the like. If the sale goes through I need the name and address copied into word for the contract (a lot double typing that can be typed once...push a button and presto; all of the fields in word are copied over). Anyway, if someone could spell this out for me, it would be a huge help. Thanks for the help in advance.

Selecting A Whole Cell In A Word Table
Hi there.

I'm struggeling with the following:

I have a Word document with 2 columns. It contains 100 rows, which gives a total of 200 cells.
One of the rows are looking something like this:
_______________________________
|________________|______________|

In my code, I'm able to locate/find the correct row I want to do my selection.
I have a bookmark (called "Labelx" where x is the number of the cell) in every cell.
I'm able to select the first cell (that is the cell to the left), and I'm also able to put my cursor in the next cell (the one to the right).

The big challenge is to "mark"/highlight/select the cell to the right.
The purpose is that I want to select this cell and delete all the contents in it.

Can anyone give me some direction?

So far I have this code:
BookM = "Label" & (i+2) 'This selects the bookmark in the row below the row I want to delete
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks(BookM).Range.Select
Selection.MoveUp Unit:wdLine, Count:=1
Selection.EndKey Unit:=wdStory, Extend:= wdExtend
Selection.Delete

This code, selects all the remaining rows in the documents and deletes them. This is my purpose.
But I also want the code to delete the cell to the right in the last row AFTER deleting the remaining rows.

Hope that my explaination is good enough, if not - give me a hint and I will try to improve.....
