I'm stuck with a problem and can't find a solution. I want to concatenate cells with two different formats. One cells has the format "tt:mm" and the other cell has format "general" how would I concatenate the cells? I have seen online that this can be done in Exel with something like
=A1 & TEXT(B1,"tt:mm")
or
=CONCATENATE(TEXT(A1;"tt:mm"); " ";B1)
But how is this done in VBA via a loop?
I have tried to just add the cells together but I the date is not returned in the format that I want.
Sub Merge()
Dim i As Long
Dim time As String
LastRow = Range("A" & StartRow).End(xlDown).Row
For i = StartRow To LastRow
Range("B" & i).Value = Range("B" & i).Value & " " & Range("A" & i).Value
Range("B" & i).NumberFormat = "tt:mm General"
End Sub
So if I run this code for xyz and 02:30 then I get 0,15625 xyz but I want to get 02:30 xyz.
Many thanks for any help.
Make this line:
Range("B" & i).Value = Range("B" & i).Value & " " & Range("A" & i).Value
Into:
Range("B" & i).Value = format(Range("B" & i).Value, "hh:mm") & " " & Range("A" & i).Value

I need to create a formula that is going to concatenate 3 different cells into one date. The formula is going to be a part of a loop function so I need the cell reference to change as the loop function runs.
I am having trouble with the syntax such as the "&" and the """" that are necessary to distinguish parts of the formula from the cell references.
For now I am just trying to get the formula to paste into a single cell without the loop. The 3 cells that I am combining are in columns: N,O & P. I am trying to paste the formula into column M.
I tried creating the formula on a separate "Data" tab and then simply copy and pasting it into each cell using VBA but the row number does not update according to the row that the formula is pasted.
I tried rearranging the & and "" for a while and could not figure out the winning combination.
FormulaRow = Cells(Rows.Count, "M").End(xlUp).Offset(1).Row
M_Formula = "=N" & FormulaRow & "" / "" & "O" & FormulaRow & "" / "" & "P" & FormulaRow
Range("M" & FormulaRow).Value = M_Formula
I am expecting to get the following result: =N5&"/"&O5&"/"&P5 with the row number corresponding to the row that the formula is pasted.
When I tried the copy and paste method I got this message: "Object Doesn't Support this Property or Method"
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
Maybe:
Sub sub1()
' If you have 12 in N2 and 34 in O2 and 5678 in P2:
Dim FormulaRow&, M_Formula$
FormulaRow = 2
M_Formula = "=N" & FormulaRow & "&" & """" & "/" & """" & "&" & _
"O" & FormulaRow & "&" & """" & "/" & """" & "&" & _
"P" & FormulaRow
Cells(FormulaRow, ColNum("M")) = M_Formula ' gives the formula you want 12/34/5678
Cells(FormulaRow, 13) = M_Formula ' also gives the formula you want 12/34/5678
End Sub
Function ColNum&(col$)
ColNum = Range(col & 1).Column
End Function
Excel is smart enough to increment the row reference when you do a range in one go:
Range("M5:M" & Range("N" & rows.count).end(xlup).row).formula = "=N5 & ""/"" & O5 & ""/"" & P5"
That will do what you want in 1 line.
Then you can copy the result, paste as values then format to date with something like this:
Sub EnterDate()
Range("M5:M" & Range("N" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row).Formula = "=N5 & ""/"" & O5 & ""/"" & P5"
Range("M5:M" & Range("N" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row).Copy
Range("M5:M" & Range("N" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
Range("M5:M" & Range("N" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row).NumberFormat = "DD/MM/YYYY"
'Force a reevaluate to make it see actual dates
Range("M5:M" & Range("N" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row).Formula = Range("M5:M" & Range("N" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row).Value
End Sub
Using this method I just tested on over 12,000 rows and it took under a second.
With regards to the comments about using the date function, using the date function is a much better method, I wanted to show you how to do it using your own method but you can get rid of the formatting code if you use Date like so:
Sub EnterDate()
Range("M5:M" & Range("N" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row).Formula = "=DATE(P5,O5,N5)"
Range("M5:M" & Range("N" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row).Copy
Range("M5:M" & Range("N" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
End Sub
If you want to leave the formulas then simply delete the last 2 lines in there.
What I have:
Range("A" & i+1).value=Range("B" & i).value
What I Need:
"'" & Range("A" & i+1).value=Range("B" & i).value
The output I Need:
'1234
How do I add that type of text using VBA I'm trying to implement with other functions but it is giving me an error
You've got the order mixed up:
Range("A" & i+1).value = "'" & Range("B" & i).value
If you need to format given cell as a text, then this is a working solution:
Sub TestMe()
Range("A1").NumberFormat = "#"
Range("A1") = 1234
End Sub
I'm trying to do a VBA code to accomplish 2 things as follows:
Count how many characters there is on cell A1, using the formula LEN(A1) and one the last line, I'm trying to have the formula RIGHT(LEFT(A1;Q1-2);6) on cell J1
Please follow down my VBA code so far:
LR = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
For i = 1 To LR
cel = "A" & i
cel2 = "P" & i
cel3 = "Q" & i
Range("P" & i).Formula = "=LEN(" & cel & ")"
Range("J" & i).Formula = "=RIGHT(LEFT(" & cel & "," & cel3 & "-" & 2 & ")," & 6 & ")"
Next i
It seems something silly what is missing, however, I couldnt manage to solve it so far
Thanks in advance
You’re missing a Right, and some other things
Range("J" & i).Formula = "=RIGHT(LEFT(" & cel & "," & cel3 & "-2), 6)"
I really appreciate if anyone could help; I've been working on this for a while...
I just want to define the formula of countif in a cell, here is the code:
Range("E" & PLrowstart).Formula = "= CountIf($B$PLrowstart:$B$PLrowend" & ",B2)"
PLrowstart and PLrowend are integer variables I set before the line. The range for count if is range("B" & PLrowstart & ":B" & PLrowend). I've also tried other ways, none worked...
TIA.
Range("E" & PLrowstart).Formula = "= CountIf($B$" & PLrowstart & ":$B$" & PLrowend & ",B2)"
Try this
Sub SetFormula()
PLrowstart = 2
PLrowend = 4
Range("E" & PLrowstart).Formula = "=CountIf($B$" & PLrowstart & ":$B$" & PLrowend & ",B2)"
End Sub
UPDATE:
Got a new issue with a formula, can't quite get it to work because of text in the formula, the formula (as taken from excel) should be,
=IF(D2<=0,"No Sales Price",E2/D2)
I have tried as many combinations as I can think of but the "no sales price" is causing an issue with the quotation marks. My current code is
For i = 2 To LastRowG
Range("Q" & i).Formula = "=IF(D" & i & "<=0," & "(No Sales Price)", & "(E" & i & "/D" & i & "))"
Next i
have had a look around but been unable to see any resolutions to the problem, any enlightenment will be met with the greatest appreciation
EDIT:This was fixed by inserting the following lines;
For i = 2 To LastRowG
Range("Q" & i).Formula = "=IF(D" & i & "<=0," & Chr(34) & "No Sales Price" & Chr(34) & "," & "E" & i & "/" & "D" & i & ")"
Next i
The Chr(34) inserts the ASCII character appertaining to that number which just so happens to be ". The program doesn't read it as having typed in the quote marks and continues to read the line of code correctly but then places the "no sales price" correctly in the formula.
It will output the line as the formula is intended to be and the Chr(34) is like writing ""No Sales Price"" without the inevitable "expected end of statement" error
What I suggested will result in something like this:
LastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, "C").End(xlUp).Row
Cells(LastRow + 1, 3).Formula = "=SUM(C1:C" & LastRow & ")"
Extra 1
Is it possible to use this formula to enter the word Total in the cell to the left?
Range("B" & LastRow + 1) = "Total"
Extra 2
One more just to push my luck, how about copying a formula all the way down a column the the last cell? =G2*57.5 copied until the last row in I
LastRowG = Cells(Rows.Count, "G").End(xlUp).Row
For i = 2 To LastRowG
Range("I" & i).Value = "=G" & i & "*57.5"
Next i
