Deleting Rows and Shifting Up - Repost

[Guest]

Gord, I tried this and the same result when I ran the code. Everything on my
sheet was deleted, event my command button.

Just to clarify, I am opening a text file that is space, comma delimited and
thus the numbers in the column appear in the form 0.0000, 0.345, 1.2345,
2.987...and so on. I format the column with the numbers to only 1 decimal
place such that I can purge out any data that does not appear in the form
0.0, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 and so on. After this, if I have duplicate rows of 0.0,
0.0, 1.0, 1.0, 2.0, 2.0 and so on one row from each interger must be deleted
so I end up with 0.0, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, etc. I hope this clears up any
ambiguity.

I'm still puzzled why everything on the sheet gets deleted.

Kind regards,

One other note, when I format my column to text I no longer have the
precision of 0.0, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0....n.0. It is in the format of
0,1,2,3,4,.....n.

Thank you in advance for your support.

Kind regards,

The code that Gord provided does work, but I had to manually input .0 after
all my values. Is there a way to either have my text read as 0.0, 1.0, etc.
once it is formatted OR how would the algorithm be modified to reflect
integers with no decimal as the criteria? Sorry for the multiple posts and
thank you for your assistance.

Kind regards,

If you want to look at the way the data is formatted in the cell, try changing:

If Not wks.Cells(i, 1).Value Like "*.0" Then
to
If Not wks.Cells(i, 1).Text Like "*.0" Then

But I'm confused about the duplicates and the changes in formatting that you've
described in the other posts.

My apologies for any confusion. What happens is the following.

1) I open a .txt file in Excel.
2) The first column of data I format the numbers in the column to 1 decimal
place
ex. 1.23568 goes to 1.2
1.0235 goes to 1.0 and so on.
3) I have to go back and change the values to "Precision As Displayed" to
TRY and retain
the text format of 1.0, 1.2, 2.3, 4.0, 3.1, and so on.
4) When I do that the numbers that are 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 etc. are now 1, 2, 3
....n.
5) When I run the algorithm the everything on my sheet is deleted.
6) I manually manipulated the cells to reflect 1.0, 2.0, 3.0...n and the
algorithm work accordingly.

Thus, my question was how to you keep the decimal and zero when you change
the values to text keeping the Precision As Displayed? Otherwise, I have to
embed a .0 after each whole number (i.e. 1, 2, 3, ...) in order to get the
format 1.0, 2.0, 3.0.

Or can the algorithm be changed to check for whole numbers in text format
instead of "*.0"? Whichever method is easiest is preferred.

After I manually manipulate the fields and the algorithm runs, the second
problem is that I have multiple rows of 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 and I need to purge out
the duplicate fields such that I go from a column A displaying 1.0, 1.0, 2.0,
2.0, 3.0, 3.0,...n,n to 1.0, 2.0, 3.0...n.

I hope this helps you to help me and thank you for you time.

Kind regards,

D.Parker

So if you format the cells as 0.0 and use .text, does the code work ok?

Or you could check to see if the value is a whole number:
If int(wks.Cells(i, 1).value) = wks.cells(i,1).value then

I'm baaaack.

Try this method.

Assuming data cells are column A

In B1 enter and drag/copy down. =A1-INT(A1)>0.05

Will give TRUE or FALSE.

1.023 will be false.

1.2345 or 1.067 will be TRUE

Filter out the TRUE's and format what's left to 1 DP

If this gives you what you want, we can deal with weeding out the duplicates.

Hello Dave:

To answer our first question if I manually change the cells from 0,1,2,3 to
0.0, 1.0, 2.0 and so on .value and .text works. But I have over 7K entries
that i have to add the .0 to manually.

The other option you suggested would be perfect, because I can work with
whole numbers as I mentioned earlier. Unfortunately when I repalced the line

If Not wks.Cells(i, 1).Value Like "*.0" Then

with

If Int(wks.Cells(i, 1).Value) = wks.Cells(i, 1).Value Then

Nothing happened at all when I ran the code. The execution was almost
instanteous but unfortunately the worksheet and data stayed the same.

Any fixes to the second option would be great!! That would be the best path
for this operation.

Kind regards,

Thank you for coming back, I would prefer to avoid inserting another column.
Is there a way to check for text whole numbers in the code you supplied
earlier? That would be best.

Kind regards,

D.Parker

Correction

=A1-INT(A1)>=0.05

Don't change the value in each of the cells.

Select the range (whole column????) and
format|Cells|number tab|Number, 1 decimal place.

And use the .text version.

Worked for me changing .Value to .Text

Thanks Dave.

David and Gord:

I manipulated the code to look for a interger value as opposed to the .0
values the following way---

from:
If Not wks.Cells(i, 1).Value Like "*.0" Then

to
If Not wks.Cells(i, 1).Value Like Int(wks.Cells(i, 1).Value) Then

And it worked perfectly, now I just have duplicate rows of
0,0,1,1,2,2....n,n that I will be working on.

Thank you for all of your time, talent and expertise. I really learned alot
with these new functions.

Kind regards,

D.Parker

All that does for me is wipe everything from the sheet but if you're happy, go
for it.

You are now having the same result I was having when we first started,
everything was being wiped from the sheet. I made the changes from values to
text you suggested and I did not have that problem anymore (as well as I
added the precision in the options>>calculation tab). You and Dave's
expertise really, really, really got me over my hump. Thank you very much!!!!

Kind regards,
