Hello,

I am trying to find and replace 2 place decimals numbers in a column with 3 place decimals using vba. The problem is that some of the numbers are over an hour (1.16 should be 1.167) in time. I tired using wildcards, but it seems to put the wildcard character in with the number. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
Are you trying to accomplish value as converted in G2 with VBA?

In post#2 I should have explained that the decimal part of the time value in E2 is replaced with the correct decimal (rounded to 3 places) by looking up the value in column B and replacing with the value in column C

So take the 1.16
Deduct the 1
Leaving 0.16
Look that up in column B
Replace with 0.167 (value in column C)
Add back the 1

TRUNC used a few times in the formula to eliminate rounding differences

Yes, we have data entry personal and I want to save them time by not having to enter the 3 place decimal, but I want to be able to run vba to make the decimal correct. Thanks.

With Data to be replaced in column D starting in D2 - amend to match the column containing your data
Resultant values put in adjacent column for testing - to replace original values by amend like this
Code:
[COLOR=#ff0000]cel[/COLOR] = Hrs + calcDecml

Code:
Sub ValueReplace()

Dim Hrs As Integer, M As Integer, Valu As Double, Decml As Double, calcDecml As Double, cel As Range, Rng As Range
With ActiveSheet
    Set Rng = .Range("[B]D2[/B]", .Range("[B]D[/B]" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
End With

For Each cel In Rng
    Valu = cel.Value:   Hrs = Fix(Valu):    Decml = Valu - Hrs
    For M = 0 To 59
        calcDecml = Round(M / 60, 3)
        If Decml <= calcDecml Then
            [COLOR=#ff0000]cel.Offset(, 1)[/COLOR] = Hrs + calcDecml
            Exit For
        End If
    Next M
Next cel
End Sub

This ignores zeros and blanks

Code:
Sub ValueReplace()

Dim Hrs As Integer, M As Integer, Valu As Double, Decml As Double, calcDecml As Double, cel As Range, Rng As Range
With ActiveSheet
    Set Rng = .Range("D2", .Range("D" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
End With

For Each cel In Rng
    Valu = cel.Value
    If Valu <> 0 Then
        Hrs = Fix(Valu):   Decml = Valu - Hrs
        For M = 0 To 59
            calcDecml = Round(M / 60, 3)
            If Decml <= calcDecml Then
                cel.Offset(, 1) = Hrs + calcDecml
                Exit For
            End If
        Next M
    End If
Next cel
End Sub

I occurred to me that time values could be negative but I had only been tested with positive values :eeek:
- here is a minor mod to allows for that

Code:
Sub ValueReplace()
    Dim Hrs As Integer, M As Integer, Valu As Double, Decml As Double, calcDecml As Double, cel As Range, Rng As Range
    With ActiveSheet
        Set Rng = .Range("D2", .Range("D" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
    End With
    
    For Each cel In Rng
        Valu = cel.Value
        If Valu <> 0 Then
            Hrs = Fix(Valu):   Decml = Valu - Hrs
            For M = 0 To 59
                calcDecml = Round(M / 60, 3)
                If [COLOR=#ff0000]Abs(Decml)[/COLOR] <= calcDecml Then
                   [COLOR=#ff0000] If Valu < 0 Then calcDecml = -calcDecml[/COLOR]
                    cel.Offset(, 1) = Hrs + calcDecml
                    Exit For
                End If
            Next M
        End If
    Next cel
End Sub
