I wanted a visual basic in excel code to convert numbers into text. The code is already available on Microsoft site, but I wanted more specific one. So someone helped me and edited the Microsoft's code. It worked fine, but one critical problem occurred. I asked him for help but he is not responding anymore.
The problem is that if there is two parts, only the first part is written.
For example: 284,323.00 is written as "Two hundred eighty-four thousand dollars only"
877,666.00 is written as "Eight hundred seventy-seven thousand dollars only"
I want the full number to be converted into text like this : "877,666.00 > Eight hundred seventy-seven thousand six hundred sixty-six dollars only"
Can you help me correct the code?
This is the code:

I'm putting together an excel spreadsheet for calculations, and I need to be able to show the formulas to go with the decisions, for the most part its pretty straight forward, but When I come to an 'if' formula in an excel cell, I don't want to show the value_if_true and value_if_false... Just the logical_test value.
Example:
Formula is: =if(and(5<=A1, A1<=10),"Pass", "Fail");
Result will be: "and(5<=A1, A1<=10)"
I need to be able to work with complex logical tests which may include nested if statements, so just splitting at the commas won't work reliably. Similarly the value_if_true and value_if_false statements could also contain if statements.
Any ideas?
If have clear understanding of what you asking for, then you can use something like this (shall be used only with IF() statement :
Function extrIf(ByVal ifstatement As Range) As String
Dim S$, sRev$, x%, k
S = Replace(Replace(ifstatement.Formula, "IF(", "\"), "),", ")|")
sRev = StrReverse(S)
If InStr(1, sRev, "|") > InStr(1, sRev, "\") Or InStr(1, sRev, "|") = 0 Then
x = InStr(1, StrReverse(Left(sRev, InStr(1, sRev, "\"))), ",") - 1
S = Mid(S, 1, Len(S) - InStr(1, sRev, "\") + x) & "|"
End If
sRev = ""
For Each k In Split(S, "|")
If k <> "" Then
If k Like "*\*" Then
sRev = sRev & ", " & Mid(k, InStr(1, k, "\") + 1, 999)
End If
End If
Next
extrIf = Mid(sRev, 3, 999)
End Function
example:
test:
Maybe this is not complete solution for you, but I think it might give you right direction.
If the cell formula starts with an If statement then you can return the logic test (starting after the first open parenthesis) by determining the position of the first comma where the sum of the previous open parenthesis - the sum previous closed = 0.
Formulas
Function ExtractIfTest(Target As Range) As String
Dim ch As String, s As String
Dim openP As Long
Dim x As Long
s = Target.formula
For x = 5 To Len(s)
ch = Mid(s, x, 1)
If Mid(s, x, 1) = "(" Then
openP = openP + 1
ElseIf Mid(s, x, 1) = ")" Then
openP = openP - 1
ElseIf Mid(s, x, 1) = "," And openP = 0 Then
ExtractIfTest = Mid(s, 5, x - 12)
End If
Next
End Function
Results
There might be instances where the is a comma without parenthesis A1,B1. If this happens simple escape them with parenthesis (A1,B1)
I've written an UDF that extract any of the parameters of the target formula. It's close to the one in Thomas answer, but more global and takes into account strings that can enclose commas or parenthesis.
Function ExtractFormulaParameter(Target As Range, Optional Position As Long = 1) As Variant
Dim inString As Boolean
Dim formula As String
Dim st As Long, sp As Long, i As Long, c As String
Dim parenthesis As Long, comma As Long
formula = Target.formula
st = 0: sp = 0
If Position <= 0 Then ExtractFormulaParameter = CVErr(xlErrValue): Exit Function
For i = 1 To Len(formula)
c = Mid$(formula, i, 1)
If inString Then
If c = """" Then
inString = False
End If
Else
Select Case c
Case """"
inString = True
Case "("
parenthesis = parenthesis + 1
If parenthesis = 1 And Position = 1 Then
st = i + 1
End If
Case ")"
parenthesis = parenthesis - 1
If parenthesis = 0 And sp = 0 Then sp = i: Exit For
Case ","
If parenthesis = 1 Then
comma = comma + 1
If Position = 1 And comma = 1 Then sp = i: Exit For
If Position > 1 And comma = Position - 1 Then st = i + 1
If Position > 1 And comma = Position Then sp = i: Exit For
End If
Case Else
End Select
End If
Next i
If st = 0 Or sp = 0 Then
ExtractFormulaParameter = CVErr(xlErrNA)
Else
ExtractFormulaParameter = Mid$(formula, st, sp - st)
End If
End Function
By default it returns the first parameter, but you can also return the second or the third, and it should work with any formula.
Thanks for the replies all. I thought about this more, and ended up coming up with a similar solution to those posted above - essentially string manipulation to extract the text where we expect to find the logical test.
Works well enough, and I'm sure I could use it to extract further logical tests from substrings too.
I am working on a project for my Visual Basic class, which is to create a digital check. The assignment requires us to input a check amount, which translates into words. In example, $1,200.00 needs to output "One thousand two hundred dollars"
For the most part, my code works. I'm using a switch statement. The original assignment was to have our check go up to a 9,999 value, but as we continue to build, we need to be able to convert up to 99,999.
As I said, I've been using a series of case statements, but realize that this is a very "hard code" way of doing this and would like create a method that can check these type of things for me, however I'm still new to Visual Basic and don't really have a good idea where to start or what is applicable in this scenario (we don't really have an example to go by.)
Here is my WriteCheck method that does the assigning/converting for the most part.
'Convert check value from a text field to a double'
Try
checkValue = checkInput.Text
Catch ex As InvalidCastException
MessageBox.Show("You must enter a numbers to write a check.")
End Try
'Operation to convert number to String'

hundreds = hundreds \ 100

tens = tens \ 10
ones = checkValue Mod 10
ones = ones \ 1

This is my approach to the problem. The solution can be easily scaled up or down by adding or removing items in BigNumbers and upping the scope of num beyond Long if necessary. (As written, it will work for numbers up to 999,999,999,999,999.)

I am getting the wrong output from the conversion.
For 52001 the given output is Fifty Two Thousand and Hundred One.
However, it should be Fifty Two Thousand and One.
You'll need to add a conditional statement to modify your string concatenation behavior when the beginning of your substring is a zero.
'if transalation is not done, continue...(Recursion comes in now!!)
If (number.Substring(0, 1) = "0") Then
word = translateWholeNumber(number.Substring(pos))
Else
word = translateWholeNumber(number.Substring(0, pos)) + place + translateWholeNumber(number.Substring(pos))
End If
Edit: Doing this breaks output if the original string sent to changeToWords begins with any zeros. To rectify that condition, you can trim leading zeros, before the string is processed:
Dim wholeNo As [String] = numb.TrimStart("0"c)
Just change this line:
If Not isDone Then
'if transalation is not done, continue...(Recursion comes in now!!)
word = translateWholeNumber(number.Substring(0, pos)) + place + translateWholeNumber(number.Substring(pos))
'check for trailing zeros
If beginsZero Then
word = translateWholeNumber(number.Substring(0, pos))+ " and " + translateWholeNumber(number.Substring(pos))
End If

I am a total novice with visual basic and teaching myself as I go along. I am building a VB in studio 2008 (I'm obliged to use this version) that logs into a device , transmits log in and password and then transmits commands read from a .txt file using reflections. All of this is working fine. The device executes the command and outputs 1 of 28 possible responses.
I am using select case to evaluate the responses and act accordingly. The device session stops as expected when EXECUTED is seen in the session window, my test data is designed so the first response I get is "EXECUTED", the weird thing is my VB "sees" the EXECUTED message (Case 1) but select case responds as if it has seen FAILED (Case 2), subsequent lines of the test data illicit different cases (5 and 6) but the response is always the next case along. I have tried Case n, case is = n, case "string value" but I get errors.
Here's my code - note that I haven't defined all 28 cases yet but the undefined ones are REM'ed out in my active version. Any ideas or suggestions would be gratefully received!

You are missing a double quote " in your first Case. Try changing it to this:
Case 0 ' "RUNNING"
Result = Dev_Resp(0)
Resp = MsgBox((Dev_Resp(0) & CR & CR & "Continue?"), 17, "Case 0 error")
Notice I've added the double quote before "Continue?".
Get rid of the With statement. Create and assign a holder variable and use that with the select statement. Doing so will allow you to see what is actually getting passed into the select statement by setting a stop point in the debugger.
Dim temp_resp as integer = refl.WaitForStrings(Dev_Resp, "0:4:30")
Select Case temp_resp
'the case statements here.
End Select
Reflections WaitForStrings uses a zero-based array parameter, but it returns a 1-based index of strings. Waitforstrings sees array entry zero as the first valid entry so the first select case (Case = 1) corresponds to array entry 0.
I keep getting an Overflow on the bitwise and in this first function. I fixed the other overflows by converting from Long to Currency (still seems weird), but I can't get this And to work.
Any ideas? I'm just trying to convert some IP addresses to CIDRs and calculate some host numbers.

Whoah,
it is definitelly interesting functionality. But I would do this in very different way. I would treat IP adress and Mask as array of four bytes. Moreover as far as I remeber (well it was some time ago) CIDR and mask can be converted to each other in very simply way (did you looked at the table?). Why don't you apply bitwise operations to each byte separatelly?
BR.
edit: ok I looked closer at the code. The reason why it is overflowing is that you can't use currency and and. I think and is internally defined as Long and can't return any bigger values. It is very common in other languages too. I remember that once I had this problem in other language (Pascal?). You can try to replace and by division. It will be slow but it can't be matter here I suppose. Other solution is, like I wrote, to treat those valueas all the time as byte arrays and perform bitwise operations on each byte.
This is an entirely mathematical approach to working with IPv4 addresses in VBA (Excel specifically).
The first three functions are serving a strictly supporting role.

Edited to remove leftover debugging code (it's been working for me so long, that I had entirely forgotten about it).
