Macro help
 

Hi - I am totally useless at writing macros:

we have a db that uses hrs and not man months as data-
what i have to do is extract a spread sheet from the db which shows
different values in hours eg (shown as 160h) in any columns or rows.

what i would like is to apply a macro that removes the sign h and then
divide the number by 130 which gives me my result in man months - i.e 160 h =
1.2 for every single value of the spread sheet extraction

if any one can advise me ( or create one - if it easy !!) then that would be
fantastic

thanks

Sub cleanupandmultiplySAS()
mc = "H"
lr = Cells(Rows.Count, mc).End(xlUp).Row
On Error Resume Next
For i = 2 To lr
If LCase(Right(Cells(i, mc), 1)) = "h" Then
MsgBox Left(Cells(i, mc), Len(Cells(i, mc)) - 1)
Cells(i, mc).Value = Left(Cells(i, mc), Len(Cells(i, mc)) - 1) /130
End If
Next i
End Sub

Hi Andy,

In Excel 2003 I created:

Sub HoursToManMonth()
Dim rngHours As Range
Dim strValue As String
Dim dblValue As Double
Dim dblMonth As Double
Dim lngDeci As Long

dblMonth = 130 ' Hours per month
lngDeci = 1 ' Number of decimals

For Each rngHours In ActiveSheet.UsedRange
If LCase(Right(rngHours, 1)) = "h" Then
strValue = rngHours.Value
strValue = Left(strValue, Len(strValue) - 1)
dblValue = CDbl(Trim(strValue)) / dblMonth
rngHours.Value = Round(dblValue, lngDeci)
End If
Next
End Sub

HTH,

Wouter
