when copied multiline text from texttbox of an userform to an excel cell something like x000d is getting added at the end of each line.when i googled it i understood it is due to line break .but line break is really necessary for me.this
cells(i,"A").value = textbox1.value
i would like to get multi-line data in cell without "x000d "

I'm facing a odd behavior by applying different colours within one cell via VBA.
In my case there are hundrets of cells within one column, showing different work-packages.
My vba code exaclty does what it should do, by coloring identified strings (respecively work packages) via looping through the cells and identifiying each work package via RegExp.
Here there is one extract that is doing the coloring job:
Set objRegex = CreateObject("vbscript.regexp")
With objRegex
.Global = True
.Pattern = suchmuster
If .test(objWks_myTable.Cells(row_myTable, 20).Value) Then
Set RegMC = .Execute(objWks_myTable.Cells(row_myTable, 20).Value)
For Each RegM In RegMC
objWks_myTable.Cells(row_myTable, 20).Characters(RegM.FirstIndex + 1, RegM.Length).Font.Color = vbOrange
Next
End If
End With
The issue appears as soon as I double click the cell after my makro run.
Then without any recognizable pattern, some characters are shown in a different color (mostly not only one character but a connected bunch of). In the picutre, the first cell shows the colours after my vba run, the second cell shows how it will immediately look like, if i double click it.
If I leave the edit mode via Escape, the original vba set colors will stay, If I leave the edit mode via Return, the undefined changes happen.
There are no formats nor format conditions set within the cells.
I really need somebodys help here. Would be great to find a solution!
Many Thanks !
This picture should show the issue:
Picture of the issue
I've found the issue.
First I tried also Instr instead of using a RegExp but the issue didn't disappear.
So I was investigating in my code that writes the strings into the cells.
And within that code I did the following:
dummy = dummy & " # " & z_trim(ctrl.Caption) & vbCrLf
ActiveCell.Value = dummy
The issue is because of vbCrLf
If I write the strings into the cells the following way, the changes within my coloring run are fixed, there is no change by entering the cell in edit mode:
dummy = dummy & " # " & z_trim(ctrl.Caption) & Chr(10)
ActiveCell.Value = dummy
Picture of fixed issue
It works, so I'm fine. But still interessted, why vbCrLf is causing such confusing thing?
The cell's content has a line break in between two lines. Usually if I use
If rngCellContent = "Line1" & Chr(10) & "Line2" then varReturn = True
it returns True but I have one case where it returns False. I pasted the "faulty content" into Notepad++ but I can see no difference. It also shows me the same line break (CRLF). Might there be a difference which gets "removed" through using the clip board?
How do I find out what kind of line breaks or non-print characters the cell contains that causes the return value to be false?
Note: I didn't compare the binary values of the strings yet. Can I just use a converter and paste it into there? Or will I run into the same problem?
Some of my text are in different lines inside same cell. I want them in single line. How do I bring them in single line ?
Example:
first cell contains:
Hi Ram, I want to go to movie today.
Are you willing to join?
If yes, let me know early.
Example:
Expected output:
Hi Ram, I want to go to movie today.Are you willing to join?If yes, let me know early.
New line in a cell A1 caused by alt+Enter for example, may be removed using a formula such as:
=SUBSTITUTE(A1,CHAR(10)," ")
Where A1 is the cell containing the text to be changed. You can enter the formula above in a different cell of course.
The parameter " " indicates 1 space to replace the line break. You could use any other character.
Another type of line break is CHAR(13). You can remove CHAR(13) using the same function again:
=SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A1, CHAR(13)," "), CHAR(10), " ")
In case you had some spaces already before the new-line character, you need to wrap the above formula in a TRIM function like so:
=TRIM(SUBSTITUTE(A1,CHAR(10)," "))
OR
=TRIM(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A1,CHAR(13)," "),CHAR(10)," "))
Always make a copy of your file before you apply formulas that could change the data.
Note-1:
char(13) is officially called "carriage return" and char(10) is called "line feed".
CHAR(10) returns a line break on Windows, and CHAR(13) returns a line break on the Mac. This answer is for Windows. You can't visually see it but you can see its effect.
Note-2:
As #kojow7 answered, a text wrap can cause the text to appear on more than 1 line depending on the cell width and the text length. This answer does not resolve this case.
Related discussion can be found here: Remove line breaks from cell.
Two things you may need to fix here: 1) Line breaks and 2) Text Wrapping
To fix line breaks:
Select the cells that need to be changed
Press CTRL+H to open Search and Replace
In the Find box type CTRL+J to insert the line break character (it may look like nothing was inserted in the field, but it does insert a line break)
Decide whether to replace the line breaks with a space or with nothing
Press Replace All
To turn off text wrapping:
Select the cells that need to be changed
Go to the Home Tab
In the Alignment Group check to see if the Wrap Text button is clicked.
If it is, click on it again to deselect it.
Depending on your situation, you may need to fix either one or both of these.
Depending on your document it might contain linefeeds or carriage returns or BOTH.
Alexander Frolov (https://www.ablebits.com/office-addins-blog/2013/12/03/remove-carriage-returns-excel/) has written a very good blog post about different technics of finding and removing linebreaks in an Excel file. We will use the “macro way” of doing that – as it is the one that works either on Windows AND Mac. The search replace method offered here too will not work on Mac but on windows.
Add the below Macro to your document (slighlty modified from the original)
Change the value of “ReplaceWith” from ” ” (space) to anything you like a linebreak to be replaced with.
E.g. ReplaceWith = “-” will result in “Line1-Line2-Line3”
Run the Macro (Extras > Macro) while all cells are selected.
Sub RemoveCarriageReturns()
ReplaceWith = " "
LinefeedChar = Chr(10)
Dim recordRange As Range
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
For Each recordRange In ActiveSheet.UsedRange
If 0 < InStr(recordRange, LinefeedChar) Then
recordRange = Replace(recordRange, LinefeedChar, ReplaceWith)
End If
Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic
End Sub
If your separate lines are not gone by now please change "LinefeedChar" from "Chr(10)" to "Chr(13)" and run it again
I am trying to write this formula into a cell via my script:
strFormulas(1) = "=IF(AND(I2<12.2,I2>=8.2),"t","f")"
And it keeps coming up as an error, even though it works just fine in the actual sheet if I manually input it into the cell. What is it expecting me to do here?
You need to escape quotes. Try this:
strFormulas(1) = "=IF(AND(I2<12.2,I2>=8.2),""t"",""f"")"
The issue that you are running into is that " is interpreted as beginning or ending a VBA string. So VBA parses your expression as
strFormulas(1) = "=IF(AND(I2<12.2,I2>=8.2),"
with "garbage" at the end. This "garbage" is what it is complaining about. If you need to include a " within a VBA string, use "".
I am using Vbscript to write some data into excel then i am saving this excel object as txt file. My problem here is after saving as text file some rows contains quotes ". Below is my code can some body help me recording this.
My Output text file is:
"Rules*V*ZBEA*892**0010*10*IBM-01**"
30,000.00*01/08/2012*21/08/2012****0000013556*01***2600
"Scale value* *********"
problem here is 1st and 3rd row starts and ends with quotes (" ").
code is
Dim objXL1,name
Set objXL1 = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
objXL1.Workbooks.Add
objXL1.Cells(1 ,1) = "Rules*V*ZBEA*892**0010*10*IBM-01** "
objXL1.Cells(2,1) = "30,000.00*01/08/2012*21/08/2012****0000013556*01***2600"
objXL1.Cells(3 ,1) = "Scale value* *********"
name = objXL1.GetSaveAsFilename(,"Text(MS-DOS)(*.txt),*.txt")
objXL1.ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs name ,21 ,,21
objXL1.ActiveWorkbook.Close 0
objXL1.quit
And here once more issue is I am using SaveAs method for getting file name. When execution comes to this line the file save dialog box hiding behind the main IE window is there any way to get this save dialog box in focus?
I assume this is because of the whitespace. In your code there is a trailing whitespace in the frist line.
"Rules*V*ZBEA*892**0010*10*IBM-01** "

If you would export multiple cells you would need to encapsualte those cells to recognize where a cell value begins and ends.
