Please help a newbie. Using Excel VBA, I am trying to format the text in column A with hyphens but only if column B contains the letter B.
I have found the code below, one which formats the cells in column A with hyphens, and another code which checks column B for the correct value, but cannot seem to combine them to work. Help please. Thank you.
Sub AddDashes()
Dim Cell As Range
On Error GoTo NoFilledCells
For Each Cell In Range("A1:A" & Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants)
Cell.Value = Format(Replace(Cell.Value, "-", ""), "@@@@@-@@@-@@@@")
Next
NoFilledCells:
End Sub
and
Sub ChangeColumn()
Dim LastRow As Long
Dim i As Long
LastRow = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
For i = 2 To LastRow
If Range("B" & i).Value = "B" Then
Range("A" & i).Value = "Formatted text with hyphens as above"
End If
Next i
End Sub
