Edit String VB Macro
 

I need to create a macro that will edit a simple string for me so I
don't have to do it by hand.

Qualifications

1) Need to be able to set the range (IE B1:H8) or whatever I need
2) The edit must read different lengths text (see examples)
3) Read and then place on letter at the end of the string.
4) Delete character and extra spaces.

Here is what the current format looks like.

T | TI06

Here is what I need to to look like

TI06T

Here is another example

N | KOS21 to KOS21N

In laymens terms it would be.

1) Read first character place at the end of the string.
2) Delete the first four characters/spaces of the string. (This is a
constant.)

Any help out there for me? Pretty please =)

Hi Lunch,

Try:

'=============
Public Sub Tester001()
Dim rng As Range
Dim rCell As Range

Set rng = Selection '<<==== CHANGE

For Each rCell In rng.Cells
With rCell
On Error Resume Next
If Not IsEmpty(.Value) Then
.Value = Mid(.Value, 5) & Left(.Value, 1)
End If
On Error GoTo 0
End With
Next rCell
End Sub
'<<=============

Norman,

Thanks for the quick reply! I'm still learning VB and such so I'm
trying to read the code, figure out what it's doing as well as learn
how this integrates with excel and it's quarks. Naturally I got
snagged on the simple part after you did everything
else..................... "Change" DOH!


'=============
Public Sub Tester001()
Dim rng As Range
Dim rCell As Range

Set rng = ("I1:AK1") '<<==== CHANGE

For Each rCell In rng.Cells
With rCell
On Error Resume Next
If Not IsEmpty(.Value) Then
.Value = Mid(.Value, 5) & Left(.Value, 1)
End If
On Error GoTo 0
End With
Next rCell
End Sub
'<<=============

Results in: Compile error: Type Mismatch - Same error occurs if I run
"I1:AK1" - Just I1:AK1 results in "Compile error: Sub or Function not
defined"


Just for kicks here is a partial list of some of the variables.

T | TI01 D | TI01 C | TI01 T | TI02 D | TI02 C | TI02 T | TI03 D |
TI03 C | TI03 T | TI04

If I'm reading the code right, and I'd like to think I am, after
pulling out the old VB book I think I see what it's doing. =)

Hi Lunch,

Try changing:

Set rng = ("I1:AK1") '<<==== CHANGE

to

Set rng = Range("I1:AK1") '<<==== CHANGE
