Enter sign replace in Excel 2007
Enter sign replace in Excel 2007:
How can I replace enter sign in the middle of a string for 100 000 lines with any other sign, where the quantity of signs in cells is is different from right for every cell. P.s.: code formula doesn't work for it. Any solution is acceptable macro and formulas tips. -- Iri. |

Enter sign replace in Excel 2007
Select the cells you which to modify and run this small macro:
Sub ReturnKiller() returnn = Chr(10) NewChar = "?" For Each r In Selection v = r.Value v = Replace(v, returnn, NewChar) r.Value = v Next End Sub It will replace the embedded ENTER characters with a question mark. -- Gary''s Student - gsnu200860 "Zasipkina" wrote: Enter sign replace in Excel 2007: How can I replace enter sign in the middle of a string for 100 000 lines with any other sign, where the quantity of signs in cells is is different from right for every cell.

Enter sign replace in Excel 2007
Saved from a previous post.
Chip Pearson has a very nice addin that will help determine what that character(s) is: http://www.cpearson.com/excel/CellView.aspx Depending on what that character is, you may be able to use alt-#### (from the number keypad) to enter the character into the Other box in the text to columns wizard dialog. In fact, you may be able to select the character (in the formula bar), and copy it. Then use ctrl-v to paste into that text to columns Other box. You may be able to use Edit|Replace to change the character--Some characters can be entered by holding the alt-key and typing the hex number on the numeric keypad. For example, alt-0010 (or ctrl-j) can be used for linefeeds. But I've never been able to get alt-0013 to work for carriage returns. Another alternative is to fix it via a formula: =substitute(a1,char(##),"") Replace ## with the ASCII value you see in Chip's addin. Or you could use a macro (after using Chip's CellView addin): Option Explicit Sub cleanEmUp() Dim myBadChars As Variant Dim myGoodChars As Variant Dim iCtr As Long myBadChars = Array(Chr(##)) '<--What showed up in CellView? myGoodChars = Array("") If UBound(myGoodChars) < UBound(myBadChars) Then MsgBox "Design error!" Exit Sub End If For iCtr = LBound(myBadChars) To UBound(myBadChars) ActiveSheet.Cells.Replace What:=myBadChars(iCtr), _ Replacement:=myGoodChars(iCtr), _ LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _ MatchCase:=False Next iCtr End Sub If you're new to macros: Debra Dalgleish has some notes how to implement macros he http://www.contextures.com/xlvba01.html David McRitchie has an intro to macros: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/getstarted.htm Ron de Bruin's intro to macros: http://www.rondebruin.nl/code.htm (General, Regular and Standard modules all describe the same thing.)
