VBA To Find First Empty Cell In A Row And Insert Text

Sep 20, 2012

I'm using Access to export the results of a query to Excel and within the same code I am opening up the spreadsheet to format it. Part of the formatting requires me to find the first empty cell in column A, and then insert the text 'Summary'.

Within Excel, the following code works:

Find empty cell:

Code:
Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Select
Add term 'Summary' to cell:

Code:
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "Summary"

I've tried a few different things based on some code I've found on the net from similar situations, but in just about all attempts I get an object defined error. I've tried dimming the piece of code as an object, but when it comes to VBA, I'm just fumbling through.

Forms :: Empty Cell That Won't Go Away On A Form

Aug 11, 2014

(Access 2013). I deleted an old text box cell on a form and then I created a Combo Box from the design controls and it worked, but underneath it, the old label of the text box is still there, except now it's just described in the properties as an 'empty cell'. It still has the old text description showing on the form, but there is no caption field in the F4 properties.

I've tried everything I can think of to get rid of it, including closing the database and running a repair, but nothing works. I can select it, but I can't delete it or move it and I can't click into it to create a new label, hovering over it just produces the 'selected' cross hairs.

Queries :: Update Table Where Column Cell Is Empty?

Aug 6, 2015

I have a small problem: I have a table with over 20 columns. In every column there are some 1's, but the other cells or tuples are empty. In these empty cells I want to write a 0. So I need an UPDATE query.

But what should I write for the WHERE condition? So he should check every cell and if there's no 1, write a 0.

I have a table which holds the status of peoples orders. It holds information on order_id, order_status, order_desc, letter.

A letter is printed for each of the different statuses. However for one status i need two different letters to be printed.

How can i insert two values into the same cell.

So far i have done

order_desc, letter) values('025', 'Dispatched', 'Black tailored coat ','DPT notification');

This prints the DPT notification fine but i need another letter to print along with this.

Partially Deleting Text From A Cell

Jun 19, 2007

If I have the following value in a cell:

Joe <100,894> Doe

Is there a function in Access that will clear out the <100,894> leaving me with Joe Doe? To my understanding the Replace function only can replace certain characters. How can I delete everything in between the < > as well?

Thanks,
Paul

Deleting Certain Text Between Characters In A Cell

Jan 10, 2005

I have a table of 1216 records. The Title fields contain extra notes which I would like to remove. All of the notes have /'s around them. I would like to remove all of the text between the /'s and all of the /'s themselves.

Example:
ACCOUNTS OF CHEMICAL RESEARCH /ALL EXCEPT JAPAN/ /FOR INSTITUTIONS/

Should be:
ACCOUNTS OF CHEMICAL RESEARCH

I don't know how to do this, but I can do it in MS Excel or Access--whichever one is easier.

Thanks for help in advance.

Is There A Shortcut To Copy The Text From Cell Above?

Dec 7, 2007

Hello! I need some serious help! After 25+ years of using Paradox where I work, we are going to Microsoft Office and Access is stumping me on one thing!!! In paradox you could hit Ctrl+D and it would enter the same information as in the cell directly above. I can't find anything that shows that Access has a feature like this. I have our inventory database and I will enter maybe 25 of the same items, but they have different property numbers and locations only. How do I get it to repeat what is in the cell/row above?

Tables :: Text Box To Cell Not Bound

Jan 4, 2013

I have a memo cell in a table that I'd like users to be able to insert their name into (from the same form). Basically allowing a user to throw their name into the memo, then auto-clear the box. When they enter their name a date will automatically be added.

Obviously if it's bound it will update but then it can't be cleared, and it doesn't paste this to the bottom of my memo, it tries to place it as the first few characters of my memo.

Putting The Same Text Into Every Cell In A Query Column

Jul 22, 2005

Putting the same text into every cell in a query column

Hi All,

I sometimes have to mark every record in a query with the same text in a field, when the field is either empty or contains whatever text.

At present I do this by copying the text, and then pasting it (ctrl-v cursor-down, a thousand times) into every cell in a column.

How can I do this in a more efficient way?

Thanks for your help.

Want Linked Excel Cell 2b Memo Not Text?

Oct 13, 2005

I linked an Excel table and now, in both the table and report, the cell is limiting itself to 255 characters, even though the Excel cell has more. I checked the "data type" and it says "memo" but it keeps truncating to "text".

Where is this limit coming from and can I change the linked table so it won't truncate the text?

thanks :confused:

General :: Odd-numbered Appearances Of Text Within Cell

Jan 9, 2014

My friend extracted some text from a PDF file, pasting it into Excel, and needs to find certain pieces of information. Problem is, the text came out as a long string instead of being broken into cells.

So, what we need to do is find, within the text, the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, 11th and 13th times the word "Principal" appears, and then report back the name that follows. Within the text, it would read something like

(1234 Principal John Doe)

The number in front of it will change or be in a different format, there are other parentheses in the text (varying number of times within the text), and the name changes, of course. We want to extract the name following the word "Principal"... but only the odd-numbered times they appear. Some cells will have as few as six "Principal" entries, others as many as fourteen.

Modules & VBA :: Text File Split Into Table - Find Text In Recordset

Reports :: Find And Replace Text Across Many Text Boxes In Report Design

Jan 30, 2015

Is it possible to use find and replace to modify text in report design - or else is there something else I can do to get the same effect? I have a really useful report and I want to modify it for use with a different dataset. To do that I will need to change the text in over 150 text boxes. I have seven different fields which each occur over 20 times in the control source formulas in the text boxes, because they are used in different ways in different calculations. If this was excel I could do a simple find and replace to change e.g. every reference to fieldname OLD to fieldname NEW, but I cannot see how to do that within access report so am haveing to click on each text box in turn, go to properties and edit the text box .

I am trying to switch to a more general naming system in the modified report so then I will be able to assign data with the required fieldnames for the report within a query. But the report I am starting with has field names based on years 2013, 2014, 2015 etc.I want a quick way to change each reference to those field names to my more generic new field names.

Queries :: Design A Query To Show Only Empty Field As TEXT Fields In Table

Mar 2, 2014

I am just querying a single table, no relationship involved with another table. As you can see form the attached jpeg, the ZIP field in some cases is empty. I would run a search using Is NULL but the field is NOT numerical. It's a long story but I had to make this field a TEXT field. Basically, what statement do I have to insert in the criteria field to just pull up the EMPTY ZIP fields?
