I am very new to python in general but have a set of code where I am needing to define the print area for multiple excel files. My code is built to step through thousands of files in a directory and they are all relatively similar but vary in row length.
I am trying to do something akin to:
worksheet.print_area = "['A1' : 'F' + str(max_rows)]"
The code above is not working because it is not a valid coordinate range because I am guessing the print.area function is requiring an exact range like [A1:F45]. But I am needing that last number to be able to change depending on the max rows within the sheet.
Any and all help is appreciated.
I'm working on a macro which named "MasterTool". All of macro code will be in this "MasterTool". This tool's main role is taking value of certain string name from excel sheet (input sheet) and write this values another excel sheet (output sheet) for same string name.
Additionally there's 2 different term I would like to describe you from now to understand easily.
Input Sheet
Excel file which stores some specific informations (E.g. Vehicle Height : 3m ) ( One of the cell has my string value: Vehicle Height and adjacent next cell has it's value 3m )
Output Sheet
This is also an excel sheet like report page which contains also specification information which comes from Input Sheet.
I wonder is it common usage data mapping methods in Excel VBA ?
My first attempt is:
Naming cells in Input Sheet like that: strCellVehicleHeight and I'm writing string name: Vehicle Height, also naming cell of this feature's value strCellVehicleHeightValue and I'm writing 3.
On output sheet I named cells same and then mapping via cell names. It's a bit hard way to use I think.
Isn't there more possible ways or other formats like XML JSON etc. I would be glad if you help me about this situation.
I have developed a calculator in "TOOL.xlsx" file. It takes 4 inputs and returns 2 outputs. The calculation is performed on the calculator sheet in the "Tool.xlsx" workbook. 4 inputs correspond to 1 data set. I have another Excel file named "DATA.xlsx" that contains around 20,000 datasets (4 inputs per data set) and it also has an output column that collects the output. I would like to automate the "DATA.slsx" and "Tool.xlsx" interaction so that the inputs for the "TOOL.xlsx" are automatically called from the "data.xlsx" and the output column in the "data.xlsx" are filled with the outputs of "TOOL.xlsx". I would really appreciate any help because I am really stuck up here. PS: I an new to VBA.
screenshot that ilustrates my problem
I would like to see the formula behind the input/output cells
and need to put those formula in second sheet.
to give a try, use
=SheetName!CellAddress in second sheet input/output cells
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 really could use some help
I have two .txt/csv files that I need to read from into my excel file.
In my excel file I have a whole column, each cell containing string of characters and I need to write a script to be able find matches and and copy an adjacent column from that txt file.
An example of a single row on my txt file is shown below:
"AB101AA","AB10 1AA","AB101A","AB10 1A","AB101","AB10 1","AB10","AB10","AB","10",394251,806376,,
"AB101AF","AB10 1AF","ABERDEEN","ABERDEENSHIRE",,"ABERDEEN, CITY OF"
My excel file would have a cell which probably say "AB101AF" and i want the corresponding cell to run through a million rows and find the match and then find the corresponding nth cell on the txt file and return it on the excel spreadsheet example "ABERDEEN, CITY OF".
I know I havent been helpful in explaining the issue. But any help would be appreciated.
Thank you
Depending upon the size of your text file you could import the file using the GetExternalData option in Excel. This would allow you to load your data into a different Sheet and then use a lookup to your data from the main Sheet. Using Match and/or vlookup should help here.
You could also add a workbook connection to the text file and search using the connection.
