I have a column which contains data as 7Jul2010, 17june2010, 23Aug2010A. You can notice that one of the dates contains a character "A" at the end. I need to write a macro to remove the character "A" which appears at the end of the date string. But the macro should remove only the last character "A". If a date does not contain character "A", then it should retain the full date as it is.
The intention is that all have to be in date format.

Request if somebody can help.

Regards,
Victor
 

Excel Facts

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.

victoragriffiths,


Welcome to the MrExcel forum.


Sample raw data before the macro:


Excel Workbook
A
1Date
27Jul2010
317Jun2010
423Aug2010A
5
Sheet1





After the macro:


Excel Workbook
A
1Date
27Jul2010
317Jun2010
423Aug2010
5
Sheet1





Please TEST this FIRST in a COPY of your workbook (always make a backup copy before trying new code, you never know what you might lose).


1. Copy the below code, by highlighting the code and pressing the keys CTRL + C
2. Open your workbook
3. Press the keys ALT + F11 to open the Visual Basic Editor
4. Press the keys ALT + I to activate the Insert menu
5. Press M to insert a Standard Module
6. Where the cursor is flashing, paste the code by pressing the keys CTRL + V
7. Press the keys ALT + Q to exit the Editor, and return to Excel
8. To run the macro from Excel, open the workbook, and press ALT + F8 to display the Run Macro Dialog. Double Click the macro's name to Run it.


Code: 
Option Explicit
Sub CkDates()
' hiker95, 06/22/2011
' http://www.mrexcel.com/forum/showthread.php?t=559034
Dim c As Range
For Each c In Range("A2", Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
  If Right(c, 1) = "A" Then c = Left(c, Len(c) - 1)
Next c
End Sub


Then run the CkDates macro.

I need to do a vlookup since I use this table in another work sheet which contains the Reference number ie. I need the date for a particular Reference number. Assuming I am using only a single work sheet and the data starts from A2 till C11, I need to vlookup a date for particular Reference number mentioned in d4. I have used =vlookup(d4, A2:C11, 3), but I get #REF!, <o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Can anyone help me.<o:p></o:p>
