Function Parse Problem
There is a column in my spreadsheet whose value is usually like this:
36.5,24.0,24.2 I use VBA's parse function to break the number into three columns: mColumn.Parse parseline:="[xxxx] [xxxx] [xxxx]", Destination:=nColumn.Cells(1) For the most part, this single line of code works well. Then there's the odd cell which is like this: 103.3,24.8,25.2 The first number has an extra digit and the results are wrong. I tried to solve the problem by examing which cells have the extra digit and use the left, mid and right functions to deal with those special cells. None of my formulas worked. The cells would always have the same wrong values. Out of frustration, I tried to clear the contents of the cells created by the parse function (with VBA, not at the Excel page itself). To my amazement, I couldn't do that. It seems that the values placed in the three new columns by the parse function cannot be changed. I am now scratching my head as to what I can do. Perhaps someone can tell me a better way to parse those numbers? |
