Hello, everyone, I’m using Office 365.
I’ve exported some data in an Access database to Excel. Attached to this post is the spreadsheet, which I’m still in the process of tweaking and designing.
What I’d like help with, if possible, is this: I’d like to automate entering a prefix in the Album Prefix column.
What I mean by that is this: I want to take the first letter or number in the Album cell, and copy it to the corresponding Album Prefix cell.
For example, if you look at the beginning of the Main worksheet, you’ll see there are album prefixes for each album by 10 CC.
Or, if you scroll down to the end of the worksheet, you’ll see there are album prefixes for some albums by ZZ Top.
I’d like to have album prefixes for each record. Since there are about 4,500 records in this spreadsheet, I obviously don’t want to do this by hand. I was hoping there might be a macro or VBA code that would allow me to do this. I’m not really a programmer, so I have no idea how to write VBA to do this.
If it can be done via a macro, I don’t know what steps to take to do this.
So, I was hoping I could request some assistance with this. Is it possible to automate this task? If so, what’s the most practical procedure?
Thank you! Jd
