copy cells with more then 255 chars...
Hi All,
I hit the 255 char limit when coping cells (more than 255 chars are truncated), but even after looking through tens of pages I couldn't find any good answer. My hope it that someone here knows a good answer BTW this is from my work computer, Excel 2000, but I had the same on a Excel 2003 computer. I have made a Excel VBA sub that merges 2 sheets in 2 books together on a new sheet; However sheet A, containing some cells larger then 255 chars but has less rows than sheet B. Copying sheet A to C first is no option. my code simplified: ..... Dim c as Range Dim i as Interger, rw as Integer set wsa workbook("filenameA.xls").worksheets("A") set wsb workbook("filenameB.xls").worksheets("B") set wsc workbook("filenameB.xls").worksheets("C") ..... ' I lookup certain values in sheet B and copying them to sheet C.... ..... ' value to be looked up in sheet A is in variable i now ....... ' set range in where to find i ' rw contains correct row in worksheet c to write values ..... Set c = .Find(i, LookIn:=xlValues) If Not c Is Nothing Then ' trying to overcome with copying an paste special wsa.Cells(c.row, 8).Copy wsc.Cells(rw, 10).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlAll, Operation:=xlNone, _ SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False ' this apparently doesn't copy more then 255 chars ' found some code op MS website, ' to be honost I am not a regular VBA programmer, don't understand the ' Dim st2() as integer very well. ' Argh! is it not working too well, getting errors on cells with more than ' 255 chars. Others are copied. Dim st1 as string Dim st2() as string Dim x as integer st1 = wsb.cells(c.row,2).value For x = 1 To (Int(Len(st1) / 255) + 1) st2(x) = Mid(st1, ((x - 1) * 255) + 1, 255) Next x wsc.cells(rw,11) = st2 ' Argh! is it not working too well, getting errors on cells with more than ' 255 chars. Others are copied. end if ------------ |
