Extract String From Between 2 Delimiters In A String (vba) |
Extract String From Between 2 Delimiters In A String (vba) - Excel |
|
I've a function 'piece' that extracts text from between 2 delimiters in a string. E.g. text = "123-abc-567", piece(text,"-",2)="abc"
It currently goes through character by character looking for the delimiters.
Some time ago, someone mentioned on here that there was a function in XL2007 VBA that did it without the character loop.
I assume it's not worksheetfunction.find; can anyone tell me what it is?
(here's my code)
Code:
Function piece(Searchstring As String, Separator As String, IndexNum As Integer) As String Dim i, SepCount, SepLen, StartPos, EndPos As Integer Dim TestStr As String SepLen = Len(Separator) SepCount = 0 StartPos = 0 EndPos = 0 For i = 1 To Len(Searchstring) - (SepLen - 1) TestStr = Mid(Searchstring, i, SepLen) If TestStr = Separator Then SepCount = SepCount + 1 If SepCount = IndexNum - 1 Then StartPos = i + 1 If SepCount = IndexNum Then EndPos = i End If Next i If StartPos = 0 And EndPos = 0 Then piece = "" Exit Function End If If StartPos = 0 Then StartPos = 1 If EndPos = 0 Then EndPos = Len(Searchstring) + 1 piece = Mid(Searchstring, StartPos, EndPos - StartPos) End Function

I wonder if you could help with this one, I have a list of data like this (no spaces or other characters)
JN551122B
What I need to do is split each of the characters in to its own cell
if JN551122B was in cell A1 I'd want to return:
B2 C2 D2 E2 F2 G2 H2 I2 J2
J N 5 5 1 1 2 2 B
The nearest I have got is the right function, but it brings over the preceeding characters, and I need each character in its own cell. Hopefully I could copy/paste a formula and change the reference for each cell value, i.e. 1 would return J, 2 = N, 3 = 5, 4 = 5 etc.
Thanks for your help!
I am looking for a method/formula that will reverse multiple text entries from "abcde" to "edcba". The entries are composed of several words that need to be reversed ie from "ab cde fg" to "gf edc ba"
Thanks

As the title goes this is as simple as it gets. The macro worked good when I was using excel 2003 but now that I have 2007 everything works for except the resizing (Picture.Width & Picture. Height).
Code:
Sub AddImage() Dim strPath As String Dim strFile As String Dim Picture As Object Dim Response As String Dim C As Range strPath = "C:\\Photos\" For Each C In Range("A1", Range("A65536").End(xlUp)) If C 0 Then With C.Offset(0, 1) Set Picture = Nothing On Error Resume Next Set Picture = Sheets("Raw Pix").Pictures.Insert(strPath & C.Value & ".jpg") Picture.Top = .Top Picture.Left = .Left Picture.LockAspectRatio = msoTrue Picture.Width = 157 Picture.Height = 138 End With End If NextC: Next C End Sub
I have tried to record some macros while I am resizing the pictures but to no avail the macros are blank.
Please help
Thanks!

I need to find cells with text that have more than one space between the first and last names; and cells with text that have only one space between the first and last names.
I am fairly new to excel. I can find the space after the first word but cannot tell it to find ones that say have a space then another string of text.
Thank you for your help!
For example my numbers are formatted like this: 1234 and I would like to add zeros to the end so it looks like this: 123400 (no decimal).
I would do it manually but I have a column of over 2000 different numbers.
Thanks for your help, you guys are great!
Sub OpenPDF() 'Dim pdf As String On Error Resume Next 'pdf file to open pdf = "K:\PDF\mypdf.pdf" 'open the pdf file ActiveWorkbook.FollowHyperlink pdf End Sub
So then I tried to create an instance of acrobat by setting a reference to the acrobat object but I can't get this to work either!
The code I'm using is Code:
Sub OpenPDF() Dim pdf As AcroPDDoc Dim strPDF As String Set pdf = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDDoc") 'pdf file to open strPDF = "K:\PDF\mypdf.pdf" 'open the pdf file pdf.Open strPDF End Sub
Any ideas what could be wrong with either approach?
Thank-you
format the text cells (name, etc) to have text entered as uppercase
automatically although the user might use title or lower case.
UPPER function cannot make cell look at itself and perform the function

First post on the forum, have only recently joined and im hoping that someone can help me before my head explodes!
I am trying to prepare a simple Material Quantity List for some Steel materials.
The materials are all in specific sizes.
What i want to do is, as i input the length, width and height of the structure in the spreadsheet, the Material Quantity List will generate the quantity of each piece of material i will need.
Does anybody know of a formula for this. I have been trying to use the IF function and getting absolutely nowhere, all suggestions will be highly appreciated!!
Im very familiar with how to write a macro to automatically autofilter a list based upon a Cell Value (i.e. Range =(A1)...etc.).... but what I cannot figure out how to correctly write is a way to have Excel automatically autofilter a list for any row that CONTAINS the Cell Value, instead of just the exact value.
Cell Value = "birds"
Example -- I need to filter every row so that I see every row that CONTAINS "birds" in the character-string, not just the row that = "birds".
a) is this possible?
If not, I'd like to know also so I can stop attempting to guess (-;
Thanks!!!

The following can be used to simulate the same, and avoid having to achieve the same with VBA's IsDate function:
STEPS:
1- Format the column (ex A) as text
2- Formula to check for valid dates:
=ISERROR(DATEVALUE(A1))
Im unable to put any pics up as my work pc has java disable so photobucket ect won't work but has anyone else come across this problem and how did you rectify it? A search macro perhaps?
I have a piece of code called ConvertDates that formats data contained on 6 worksheets. The 6 data sheets all contain a data connection to a website of foreign exchange tables.
What I want is for my code to execute as soon as the data connection refresh has finished.
When I use the statement
Code:
ActiveWorkbook.RefreshAll Application.Run "Project1.xlsm!ConvertDates"
The code executes the macro whilst the refresh is still happening, thereby screwing up my results. I don't really want to use a timed wait, because the refresh speed is going to vary from user to user.
Is there some way I can tell excel to wait till the refresh has finished and then execute the code?
Any help would be hugely appreciated.
I am using
ActiveSheet.ShowAllData
in a piece of VBA and it causes an error if the sheet does not have a filter applied! Is there an if statement I can use to check if the data is filtered?
Thanks - this site is an absolute life saver!

I was thinking of trying a nested if/and statement but I haven't quite figured out how to do it. Basically I want to identify the two values where it switches from positive to negative and also indentify the values where it goes negative to positive, I can then fit a straight line between them to find a better approximation of the intercept (though it might not be necessary). Preferably I'd like it all one function as I'm not doing it in VBA (I might do later though, we'll see).
Can anyone suggest how I'd find these value or the x-intercept. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
