I need to remove special characters from a cell .The cell value is $1,234.50.
I want 1234.50 as result.
Some questions for you... - As far as VB6 is concerned, what is a "cell"? I'm guessing maybe this has something to do with an Excel worksheet?
- What have you attempted so far?
- How certain are you that the dollar sign and comma are actually stored in the cell? Perhaps the cell simply holds a number, but is displaying it in a nicely-formatted way.
I have to format a excel sheet using VB, in which a column in excel consists of amount in the format $1,234.50 . I need to format it by removing $ and , so that i will get 1234.50 value.
i tried the following syntax:
xlsheet.Cells(1 , 1).NumberFormat = "text"
Error I got is :Application-defined or object-defined error.
Pls help me to get out of this pblm.
I don't think changing the number format will help, because it isn't a number to start with. How about setting .Value to Cleaned(.Value). And in a module somewhere, add this function... - Public Function Cleaned(ByVal Src As String) As String
-
Dim L As Long, I As Long, Char As String * 1
-
L = Len(Src)
-
For I = 1 To L
-
Char = Mid$(Src, I, 1)
-
Select Case Char
-
Case "0" To "9", "."
-
Cleaned = Cleaned & Char
-
End Select
-
Next
-
End Function
This will take the value and strip off everything except numeric digits and full stops. I have no idea what will happen if the cell already contains a number. You can find that out for yourself. :)

However I am running into a problem that I have some of those fields are

Hello Everyone,
I have written a simple app. that converts the dataset into
excelspreadsheet.
The App. uses the following architecture.
First it generates the dataset with corresponding datatables(each
datatable represents a worksheet).It uses an Xslt file to do the
transformation of the xml (generate from dataset) and write the
output xml into a xmltextwriter.
The App converts the data into excel with almost all of the formatting

Is there a method to replace special characters like Ä (A-Umlaut) with
A, Ö (O-Umlaut) with O, and so on?
Sure, I could look for each character separately and replace it with its
ascii-counterpart, but there are also such special characters in French
and Swedish and many other languages which I also want to catch. Is
there a generic way to do it?
