Hello,

I have written a code whereby I am converting the formula of selected cells to round formula without having to type the entire text. I am adding a Prefix String and a Suffix string to the existing formula of the cell. I have copied the code at the end of this message.

I had assumed that all cells to round off will have formula that calculates and therefore will have a "=" to begin with and for that I was neglecting first character and retaining the rest of existing string to be accommodated between prefix and suffix string. I have also added radio buttons a my user form to make the output round off to whole number multiple of either 5 or 10.

Problem : I need to apply " if the first character of existing string is "=" then apply Mid(SelR.Formula, 2), Else if first character is not "=" use full text in the new formula with rounding off text.

I hope I am able to explain what I want.. please help me.

Thanks




VBA Code:
Sub AddStr_Round()
Dim SelR As Range


If Fm_AddString.OpBn_5.value = True Then
    X = 5
ElseIf Fm_AddString.OpBn_10.value = True Then
    X = 10
End If


If Fm_AddString.OpBn_Up.value = True Then

    If Fm_AddString.OpBn_5.value = True Or Fm_AddString.OpBn_10.value = True Then
        Prefix = "Roundup(("
        suffix = ")/" & X & ",0)*" & X
     Else
        Prefix = "Roundup("
        suffix = ",0)"
      End If
ElseIf Fm_AddString.OpBn_Dn.value = True Then
    If Fm_AddString.OpBn_5.value = True Or Fm_AddString.OpBn_10.value = True Then
        Prefix = "RoundDown(("
        suffix = ")/" & X & ",0)*" & X
    Else
        Prefix = "RoundDown("
        suffix = ",0)"
    End If
Else
        Prefix = "Round(("
        Decim = InputBox("Enter Rounding To digits", "Round Formula", 0)
        suffix = ")," & Decim & ")"
End If

For Each SelR In Selection
      SelR.Formula = "=" & Prefix & Mid(SelR.Formula, 2) & suffix
 Next
 Fm_AddString.Hide
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
Some further explanation here..

with my current code,
if the original contents of cell is "=123.45". Then I am getting new formula as =ROUND((123.45),0). This is correct.
But if original contents of cell is without "=" ie. "123.45". Then I am getting new formula as =ROUND((23.45),0). This is not what I want.

I need a code to add to ensure that
If there is no "=" in original text then the entire string "123.45" should be used in the new formula. If there is "=" as the first character then the balance text after "=" should appear sandwiched between the prefix and suffix

VBA Code:
If SelR.HasFormula then...

Since if the first character isn't an = sign, it's not really a formula.
