enter image description hereI have a data frame of industries divided into six sectors. I brought the excel file (xlsx format) into R by the gdata package. Now what I observe is that infront of some of the name of the firms and also against some dummy variables, the letter appears and this was not in my original excel sheet. and this is random - some names are followed by this and some don't. Can somebody tell me how do I get rid of these signs?

Using MS access I need to open a word document and change certain images within the header. Whilst I have the code to find and replace any text that I need, I do not quite understand how to replace an image keeping it to a specific width and height.
The header within the Word document is constructed using a basic table with 3 columns as depicted below. The image in the right hand column will need to change for a specific logo.
I have managed so far to add an image to the document using the following code which gives the expected result...
With WordDoc.StoryRanges(wdPrimaryHeaderStory)
.InlineShapes.AddPicture FileName:="test.jpg"
End With
I understand that this is due to me not specifying a specific location, size etc but I am struggling to find resources which would instead allow me to either remove and add a new image to the right column or just swap the images out.
EDIT 1:
I am currently building a word-template for a report. In this report are used red separators as part of the design. The separators are basically just images of red, curved lines.
Instead of copy and pasting these separators when needing them, is there a way to store the image somewhere in the document, allowing it to be inserted with just the click of a button in the ribbon? My first bet would be to create a macro somehow that would insert the image, however that would require the image to be stored in a very specific path on the computer.
As this document is gonna be used by lots of people without this image stored on their harddrive, i need another way.
Thanks so much in advance!
You could insert the images into bookmarks created via SET fields in, say, the document header, then reproduce them elsewhere in the document via cross-references. The images in the SET fields wouldn't themselves be visible.
For example:
{SET Image1 "Actual image1"}
to create the bookmark and
{REF Image1}
to display the image.
No code required.
By default, the size of the pictures when inserted via a cross-reference will be the same size as they are in the SET field, plus they'll be formatted as in-line with text.
If they're meant to be full-width images, simply make sure to insert the cross-reference into a new paragraph with 0 indenting.
To constrain the images' displayed size to something smaller than the width they're inserted into the SET field at, insert them into a table whose row height and/or column width has the required fixed dimension.
To apply text-wrapping, insert the cross-references into a table and format the table's wrapping as 'around'.
Note: The field brace pairs (i.e. '{ }') for the above example are all created in the document itself, via Ctrl-F9 (Cmd-F9 on a Mac or, if you’re using a laptop, you might need to use Ctrl-Fn-F9); you can't simply type them or copy & paste them from this message.
I have used this VBA code to convert columns into pipe separated format. However, the data contains numbers in scientific notation (eg 2.000000e-01) which Excel automatically converts into 0.2 which I don't want.
I have tried changing this code:
var = Application.Transpose(Application.Transpose(rng.Value))
into
var = Application.Transpose(Application.Transpose(rng))
or even
var = Application.Transpose(Application.Transpose(rng.Text))
neither of which work. I've also tried formatting the cells all to Text (the macro then gives a Value error) or even switching off scientific notation.
How can I convert columns into a single, pipe-separated column without losing scientific notation?
Sample columns:
SAMPLE TEST 2.000000e-01 2.000000e-01
You want to concatenate text values using either the CONCATENATE function or the & operator. For the scientific notation, you want to use the TEXT function. Excel is actually storing the numbers as 0.2 but then displaying them in scientific notation.
The help for the TEXT function says:
Syntax: TEXT(value, format_text)
Display scientific notations:
To display numbers in scientific (exponential) format, use the following exponent codes in the format_text argument.E (E-, E+, e-, e+) Displays a number in scientific (exponential) format. Excel displays a number to the right of the "E" or "e" that corresponds to the number of places that the decimal point was moved. For example, if the format_text argument is "0.00E+00", Excel displays the number 12,200,000 as 1.22E+07. If you change the format_text argument to "#0.0E+0", Excel displays 12.2E+6.
So for your example, assuming the values are in cells A1:D1, use:
=A1&"|"&B1&"|"&TEXT(C1,"0.000000E+00")&"|"&TEXT(D1,"0.000000E+00")
Or in VBA, you can use the Text property of the Range object to get the contents of the cell as they are displayed. If the column width is too narrow for a date and the column shows "########" then that is what the Text property will return.
EDIT: I misread the post. This answer is for separating text from one column into many columns. OP is trying the reverse.
You use the Excel Text to Columns wizard (on the Data tab, select Text to Columns). Select your data, then run click the menu. When you get to step 3, tell Excel that you want to keep the column as Text.
If you need this done using VBA, then use the macro recorder to get the initial code which you can then tweak to fit your needs.
I have a cell in excel which contains a value, lets say 100000.
Now i want this value to have commas in between them to represent the thousands and millions i.e. 100,000. I can do this by changing the number format in the home menu.
Now i want this value to be copied from that cell and paste it as a label for a shape. When i am doing this the commas go away showing me just the numbers.
I want it to happen through VBA but this is not happening in excel itself.
Does anyone have a plausible solution for this?
In range object use Text property, like this:
Sheet1.Shapes(1).TextFrame.Characters.Text = Range("A1").Text
I want to create a makro in Excel which performs - after pressing a button - the below. I attached some dummy data that is formatted like the actual sheet.
There are several data blocks that are seperated by headlines in Sheet 1. From these headlines, I want to get a string of numbers and put it into column S for each line with data below that heading. In line 6 the heading says "2000", thus lines 8-19 should have a "2000" in column S and so on. The number I want to get is always after the word "Monthlyaccount" but the lenght of the number can be different - from 1 to 7 digits.
For lines where no data is given (data lines might be recognized by looking if in A is a valid date given) there should just be "ERR" instead of the number.
Can anyone help out?
Thanks so much upfront!
Say the string (in cell A1) contains "Monthlyaccount" followed by a blank followed by a number followed by another blank. To extract the number, use:
=--LEFT(MID(A1,FIND("Monthlyaccount",A1)+15,9999),-1+FIND(" ",MID(A1,FIND("Monthlyaccount",A1)+15,9999)))
This does as requested. Paste the following into S3 and drag down
=IF(AND(ISNUMBER(RIGHT(A2,4)*1),ISNUMBER(RIGHT(A3,4)*1)),S2,IF(ISNUMBER(RIGHT(A3,4)*1),LEFT(RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND("Monthlyaccount",A1)-14),FIND(" ",RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND("Monthlyaccount",A1)-14))),"ERR"))
