How to Sum FormatCurrency() Value? - excel

SAMPLE: I have sales in two days and I formatted each value per day in Currency
Dim firstSales,secondSales as String
firstSales = 1500
secondSales = 1500
Me.firstDaySales.Caption = FormatCurrency(firstSales)
Me.secondDaySales.Caption = FormatCurrency(secondSales)
I got the right format for each value per day in caption
Me.totalSales.Caption = Val(firstDaySales) + Val(secondDaySales)
But when I try to get the total Sum of Val(firstDaySales) and Val(secondDaySales) I got the wrong answer "0" beacause the value of Val(firstDaySales) and Val(secondDaySales) become "?1,500.00", it didn't recognize as a number or currency.
How to solve it?
Thank You.

Add the values, not the captions, then format
Dim firstSales As Double
Dim secondSales as Double
firstSales = 1500
secondSales = 1500
Me.firstDaySales.Caption = FormatCurrency(firstSales)
Me.secondDaySales.Caption = FormatCurrency(secondSales)
Me.TotalSales.Caption = FormatCurrency(firstSales + secondSales)

Convert Dropdownlist String Value to Date

I want to do a date comparison to check whether is the Before Period is bigger than After Periode
So far it has been working properly until the date range is a bit tricky
For example
The value is from a dropdownlist item
Before period is 21-10-2022
After period is 04-11-2022
It will trigger the error message I set if the before period is bigger than the period after
I have a code like this
If CDate(ddlPeriodeBefore.SelectedValue) <= CDate(ddlPeriodeBefore.SelectedValue) Then
'Does the job if the the before period is smaller than after period
Else
lblInfo.Text = "Period BEFORE Must Be SMALLER Than Period AFTER."
End If
Can anyone help me? it keeps saying "conversion from string to date is not valid"
I've tried datetime.parse, parse exact, cdate, convert.todatetime but nothing works so far, or maybe I used it the wrong way
Please help, thanks in advance
Tim Schmelter's suggestion is not wrong, but I did want to provide an alternative. Create a collection of Tuple, add the dates (both formatted string and native value) to the collection, then bind the control to the list.
Here is the alternative:
Dim dates As New List(Of Tuple(Of String, DateTime))()
Dim today = DateTime.Today
For daysSubtract = 90 To 0 Step -1
Dim dateToAdd = today.AddDays(-daysSubtract)
dates.Add(New Tuple(Of String, DateTime)(dateToAdd.ToString("dd-MM-yyyy"), dateToAdd))
Next
ddlPeriodeBefore.ValueMember = "Item1"
ddlPeriodeBefore.DisplayMember = "Item2"
ddlPeriodeBefore.DataSource = dates
ddlPeriodeAfter.ValueMember = "Item1"
ddlPeriodeAfter.DisplayMember = "Item2"
ddlPeriodeAfter.DataSource = dates
Now when you go to get the selected value, you can use a simpler conversion since the stored object is already a DateTime:
Dim beforePeriod = DirectCast(ddlPeriodeBefore.SelectedValue, DateTime)
Dim afterPeriod = DirectCast(ddlPeriodeAfter.SelectedValue, DateTime)
If (beforePeriod <= afterPeriod) Then
' ...
Else
lblInfo.Text = "Period BEFORE Must Be SMALLER Than Period AFTER."
End If
The advantage to this approach is that you do not have to refactor your code if the date formatting changes.
If DateTime.Parse works depends on your curren culture because you don't pass any. For me this works fine (but for you not):
Dim selectedValue1 = "21-10-2022"
Dim selectedValue2 = "04-11-2022"
Dim beforePeriod = Date.Parse(selectedValue1)
Dim afterPeriod = Date.Parse(selectedValue2)
So either you know the correct culture that you have used when you have created this string, then you can pass this as second parameter to Date.Parse, or you use ParseExact:
Dim beforePeriod = Date.ParseExact(selectedValue1, "dd-MM-yyyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)
Dim afterPeriod = Date.ParseExact(selectedValue2, "dd-MM-yyyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)
The culture is relevant because they can have different date separators and the order of the day-, month- and year-tokens are different.

How to use Autofill/Filldown with a range of values

I have been trying to get Excel to apply a formula over a set of columns and then extend the pattern across the entire set of rows.
This has led to the following code:
For i = 0 To avgsheetNames.Count - 1
If Contains(CStr(avgsheetNames(i)), "Scores") = True Then
With mainWorkBook.Worksheets(avgsheetNames(i))
strFormulas(1) = "=SUM(Aggregated_Internal_Scores!I2:I7)/6"
strFormulas(2) = "=SUM(Aggregated_Internal_Scores!J2:J7)/6"
strFormulas(3) = "=SUM(Aggregated_Internal_Scores!K2:K7)/6"
strFormulas(4) = "=SUM(Aggregated_Internal_Scores!L2:L7)/6"
strFormulas(5) = "=SUM(Aggregated_Internal_Scores!M2:M7)/6"
strFormulas(6) = "=SUM(Aggregated_Internal_Scores!N2:N7)/6"
strFormulas2(1) = "=SUM(Aggregated_Internal_Scores!I8:I13)/6"
strFormulas2(2) = "=SUM(Aggregated_Internal_Scores!J8:J13)/6"
strFormulas2(3) = "=SUM(Aggregated_Internal_Scores!K8:K13)/6"
strFormulas2(4) = "=SUM(Aggregated_Internal_Scores!L8:L13)/6"
strFormulas2(5) = "=SUM(Aggregated_Internal_Scores!M8:M13)/6"
strFormulas2(6) = "=SUM(Aggregated_Internal_Scores!N8:N13)/6"
mainWorkBook.Worksheets(avgsheetNames(i)).Range("C2:H2").Formula = strFormulas
mainWorkBook.Worksheets(avgsheetNames(i)).Range("C3:H3").Formula = strFormulas2
mainWorkBook.Worksheets(avgsheetNames(i)).Range("C2:H3").AutoFill Destination:=mainWorkBook.Worksheets(avgsheetNames(i)).Range("C2:H32")
End With
End If
As you can see I have tried to provide the pattern I am going for where the values extracted from the "Aggregated_Internal_Scores" sheet should follow the pattern I2:I7 > I8:I13 > I14:I19 and so on.
However, when the macro has been executed what I get is I2:I7 > I8:I13 > I4:I9 > I10:I15?
It seems Excel is taking the block C2:H3 as the pattern and just incrementing by 2 at the start of every block.
Can you anyone explain where I have gone wrong and how I can specify that I want the extraction of sheet values to follow a certain pattern?
Thank you in advance!
Use:
mainWorkBook.Worksheets(avgsheetNames(i)).Range("C2:H32").Formula = "=SUM(INDEX(Aggregated_Internal_Scores!I:I,(ROW($ZZ1)-1)*6+2):INDEX(Aggregated_Internal_Scores!I:I,(ROW($ZZ1)-1)*6+7))/6"
Replace everything inside the If with that.
If one has Office 365 with dynamic array formula then use:
mainWorkBook.Worksheets(avgsheetNames(i)).Range("C2:H32").Formula2 = "=SUM(INDEX(Aggregated_Internal_Scores!I:I,SEQUENCE(6,,(ROW($ZZ1)-1)*6+2))/6"

Format number with two decimals, but without thousand separator

I am grabbing data from excel spreadsheet and looking to format it in a certain way before I store it as a string.
The formatting of excel cell is to have 2 decimal places - an example of a value is:
283,323.20
This is how I grab the value:
Dim HoldValue as String
If Not ([String].IsNullOrEmpty(CStr(excel.Cells(Row, Column).Value)) Or CStr(excel.Cells(Row, Column).Value) = "") Then
HoldValue = CStr(excel.Cells(Row, Column).Value)
End If
However, doing it this way gets rid of the last 0 so the number looks like this, which is almost what I want:
283323.2
I tried to do something like:
Dim HoldDecValue As Decimal= CDEC(excel.Cells(Row, Column).Value)
and:
Holdvalue = HoldDecValue.ToString("N2")
which makes it look like this:
283,323.20
but my goal is to make it look like this:
283323.20
With the suggestion from Plutonix - I was able to do it...
Dim HoldTotal_SPEND As Double = CDbl(excel.Cells(Row, Column).Value) strHoldTOTAL = (HoldTotal.ToString("F"))

How can I pick specific string fragments out of an excel cell using a custom formula written in VBA

At work I am required to reformat incorrect Addresses on a weekly basis from records in our Salesforce instance. We gather the incorrectly formatted addresses using a Report and export them to an Excel file. My job is simply to manipulate the data in the file to format them properly then reinsert them into the database.
Typically the addresses are formatted as so:
5 Sesame Street, Anytown, Anyplace
Separating these can be done easily by hand, but I typically have to work with hundreds of addresses at a time, and using default excel formulas tends to require lots of wrangling multiple cells at once to break it up into fragments.
Thus I wrote a custom formula to run through the cell and return a specific fragment of the string based on the "Comma Number" given. So if I give a Comma Number of 1, I would get "5 Sesame Street", 2 would get me "Anytown", etc.
Here is my code so far:
Public Function fragmentAddress(address As String, numberofcommas As Integer) As String
seen = 1
lastComma = -1
Dim x As Long
Dim frag As Long
For x = 0 To Len(address)
If Mid(address, x, 1) = "," & numberofcommas = seen Then
Exit For
ElseIf Mid(address, x, 1) = "," & numberofcommas <> seen Then
seen = seen + 1
lastComma = x
End If
Next
frag = Mid(address, lastComma + 1, seen - lastComma)
fragmentAddress = frag
I have not implemented the ability to handle the final value yet, but it does not give me any outputs, only outputting a "#VALUE!" error when I attempt to give it the input
=fragmentAddress("3 Ashley Close, Charlton Kings",1)
I have some experience with programming, but this is my first time writing anything in VBA.
Any help would be appreciated, thank you.
Not exactly sure what your question is, but this is simpler:
Public Function GetAddressFragment(ByVal Address As String, ByVal Index As Integer) As String
Dim addr() As String
addr = Split(Address, ",")
On Error Resume Next
GetAddressFragment = Trim(addr(Index - 1))
End Function

Load image to a label in userform using vba

I am working on a userform to load Images over labels, I am getting a
Run time error '75': Path/File access error
with below code,
dim solArr as variant
solArr = Split("1.jpg,2.jpg,3.jpg",",")
For i = LBound(solArr) To UBound(solArr)
'For rating image
Dim ratingImageName As String
ratingImageName = "D:\somepath" & "\" & solArr(i)
Set imageStar = UserForm1.Frame3.Controls.Add("Forms.Label.1")
imageStar.Top = 40 + (i * 50)
imageStar.Left = 420
imageStar.Height = 20
imageStar.Width = 100
imageStar.Picture = LoadPicture(ratingImageName)
Next
But, if i use ratingImageName as "D:\Somepath\1.jpg" no error is recieved...
Is there a better way to do it?
Hmmm.. solArr = Array("1.jpg","2.jpg","3.jpg")
I was picking up a value from cell as
1.jpg
2.jpg
3.jpg
the sentence replace(arrSol(i),chr(10),"") solved the problem.
Set imageStar = UserForm1.Frame3.Controls.Add("Forms.Label.1")
I have an array of many items in-game. Example item1, item2, item3... How to change index at item (Exemple item & i) and add a picture it item in label in Form.
