I am trying to replace accented characters with regular characters.
When I try to run the macro it doesn't appear in the list.
Option Explicit
'-- Add more chars to these 2 string as you want
'-- You may have problem with unicode chars that has code > 255
'-- such as some Vietnamese characters that are outside of ASCII code (0-255)
Const AccChars = "ŠŽšžŸÀÁÂÃÄÅÇÈÉÊËÌÍÎÏÐÑÒÓÔÕÖÙÚÛÜÝàáâãäåçèéêëìíîïðñòóôõöùúûüýÿ"
Const RegChars = "SZszYAAAAAACEEEEIIIIDNOOOOOUUUUYaaaaaaceeeeiiiidnooooouuuuyy"
Sub StripAccent(aRange As Range)
'-- Usage: StripAccent Sheet1.Range("A1:C20")
Dim A As String * 1
Dim B As String * 1
Dim i As Integer
For i = 1 To Len(AccChars)
A = Mid(AccChars, i, 1)
B = Mid(RegChars, i, 1)
aRange.Replace What:=A, _
Replacement:=B, _
LookAt:=xlPart, _
MatchCase:=True
Next
End Sub
I do not see the option to run the macro in my macros list. The macro name is not appearing in the list to select. I have macros enabled and I have a bunch of others I use so I do not understand why it's not showing. – BvilleBullet 4 mins ago
Please see the comment in the above code.
'-- Usage: StripAccent Sheet1.Range("A1:C20")
You have to call it like this
Option Explicit
'-- Add more chars to these 2 string as you want
'-- You may have problem with unicode chars that has code > 255
'-- such as some Vietnamese characters that are outside of ASCII code (0-255)
Const AccChars = "ŠŽšžŸÀÁÂÃÄÅÇÈÉÊËÌÍÎÏÐÑÒÓÔÕÖÙÚÛÜÝàáâãäåçèéêëìíîïðñòóôõöùúûüýÿ"
Const RegChars = "SZszYAAAAAACEEEEIIIIDNOOOOOUUUUYaaaaaaceeeeiiiidnooooouuuuyy"
'~~> This is how you have to call it. Now You can see the macro "Sample" in the list
Sub Sample()
StripAccent Sheet1.Range("A1:C20")
End Sub
Sub StripAccent(aRange As Range)
'-- Usage: StripAccent Sheet1.Range("A1:C20")
Dim A As String * 1
Dim B As String * 1
Dim i As Integer
For i = 1 To Len(AccChars)
A = Mid(AccChars, i, 1)
B = Mid(RegChars, i, 1)
aRange.Replace What:=A, _
Replacement:=B, _
LookAt:=xlPart, _
MatchCase:=True
Next
End Sub
