Excel Macro VBA to Remove Characters in String of Text [Q]
I need to make an excel macro vba to remove the 7th character in a string of text if the first 6 letters match the specified criteria. But I don’t know the best way to handle…
This is what I want to do:
If the first 6 characters of a2=”Albany”, then delete the next character
(which in this case is “,”).
If the above isn’t true…then continue on with the remainder of the macro.
And continue to the next row.
Excel Macro VBA to Remove Characters in String of Text [A]
For each microsoft excel cell in selection :
if instr(1,cell.Value,”Albany”,VbTextCompare) = 1 then
cell.Value = left(cell.Value,6) & Mid(cell.value,8)
end if
Next
This would remove rich text formatting.
if you want it to be a case sensitive match change vbTextCompare to
vbBinaryCompare
You can speed it up by using the find method of the range object and only
going to cells that contain Albany. Look at Excel VBA help at the FindNext
sample code.

After transferring data from old computer - can no longer change formats in excel?
I use lots of macros in my Excel spread sheets, never have had a problem until I bought a new computer. Help! Commas instead of periods! Formulas do not recognize commas.
Dates do not enter correctly, basically formatting no longer works!
