Excel 2003 :: Find And Replace Missing The Ability To Replace Values?
Feb 5, 2009This problem has come up fairly frequently lately, and I'm not sure how to fix it, or if this is by design...but in Excel 2003 I can't seem to do a "Find and Replace" based on the value of a cell. I can do a find, based on cell value, but the moment I change to the replace tab, the "values" and "comments" are missing from the "look in" dropdown.
I've only noticed this when I'm trying to replace on a filtered list, so I'm not sure if that is part of the issue.
Perhaps an alternative way of arriving at the same goal. Basically I have a worksheet with a number of filtered columns. They are filtered just right, using custom filtering, and so I do not want to undo the filters. In some columns I have formulas that are returning #VALUE! errors. I'd like to replace all of these cells with NA.

Replace Specific Character ONLY If Its LAST In The Sheet
Nov 27, 2013Switched to Excel after using OpenOffice and I'm stuck on knowing what an old a 'find and replace' formula would be in Excel. It would remove a specific character (or word) ONLY if it was the last characters in a cell.
The old find and replace for open office:
Find: (.*)/$
Replace: $1
It's not that important now to delete a word, mainly the last slash '/' ONLY if it's the last character e.g. this data has 2 rows with a '/' as the last character
website.com/page
website.com/page/
website.com/page/page/
Running my old find and replace formula would remove the last slashes, but leave the others
website.com/page
website.com/page
website.com/page/page
Need simple replacement to the find and replace but a formula is also right.

Unwanted Character, Can Not Search And Replace
Dec 18, 2007I have a sheet that I often have to edit and import into SQL database.
I have no control over the format of the sheet given to me and it seems that something has changed causing me the following problem.
When I try to import the Data it’s showing ten times as many items than are actually there.
The problem I think is in a text column. I’ve tested this by using an old column from a previous sheet and pasting this into the new sheet and I can import it ok.
What I seem to have is a rectangular box character but I’m not sure what it is.
I can copy and past it into Notepad as it is, but pasted into Word it seems to be a carriage Return.
So whether it’s an actual charter or not I’m not sure.
Are there any tools out there so I can hover over characters in Excel to see what it is! So at least I can be sure what I’m trying to Search and Replace?

Remove / Replace ONLY FIRST Occurrence Of First Character In All Rows Of Column?
Jul 30, 2013I need to remove the first character in each row of a column, but only its first occurrence in each row. For instance:
Say, column 2 has following data (lots of rows, by the way):
First Text" - "blabla"
=SomeText2 = "blabla"
SomeText3 = "blabla"
=SomeText4 = "blabla"
-SomeText5 --- "blabla"
........
....
I would like to use the VBA code to remove ONLY the FIRST occurrence of the FIRST character specified (either "=" or "-") in each row in that column, so that I get:
First Text" - "blabla"
SomeText2 = "blabla"
SomeText3 = "blabla"
SomeText4 = "blabla"
SomeText5 --- "blabla"
......
...and so on...
I tried to use this:
Code:
Columns(2).Cells.Replace What:="-", Replacement:="", LookAt:=xlPart, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False, _
ReplaceFormat:=False
Columns(2).Cells.Replace What:="=", Replacement:="", LookAt:=xlPart, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False, _
ReplaceFormat:=False
but it replaces ALL occurrences of "=" and "-" and that is not what I need.
I also tried this code:
Code:
With Range("B:B")
.Value = Replace(.Value, "=", "", 1, 1)
End With
But It doesn't work either.

Excel 2003 :: How To Remove Characters To The Right Of Last Occurrence Of Special Character
Mar 30, 2011I have a column of text where I need to remove all the characters to the right of the last occurance of a special character.
I think a process like reading from right to left, look for the first occurance of the special character, and return the characters to the left of this position.
If I can determine the position of the last occurance of the special character, I could use the LEFT function.
The SEARCH function is close. It finds the position of the first occurance of text inside text but it reads from left to right. I need to read from right to left.
Another approach is to examine each character one by one from right to left. If the character is not the special character, delete it. When the character is the special character, delete it and stop the process.
There is no consistency in the text. The total lengths vary. The number of times the special character occurs in the text vary. The number of characters to the right or left of the last special character vary.
I much prefer not to have the solution be some VBA because I need to share it with others who are even less capable than I am. We are using Excel 2003.
Replace Small Square Character With Line Break After Import
Nov 18, 2008When importing text from a CSV, the 'line returns' appear in a cell as a small square with faded left and right sides. The do force a line break as intended. However, they are a nuisance in reading and printing.
When I use ALT+ENTER to force a line break, there is no visible character (on screen or printed) for the line break, which is as it should be.
How can I replace this 'special character' line break with one not visible?

2003/2007 Problem With InStr, Replace, And Len
Feb 22, 2009I have run into a brick wall with InStr, Replace, and Len. I take the data from the active cell (formatted as text). I need to cleanup the data and do further massaging of it. In testing cleanup code, I get behavoirs and results I simply don't understand and can't figure out from hours searching forums many places.
The following simplified example commented code can be cut/pasted into a new spreadsheet module and should be self-explanatory. Example data is in the comments. Data is entered by multiple users and multiple sources. Therefore there is no control over the input quality so extraneous characters and multiple repeated periods and spaces can show up anywhere.

Nov 12, 2011I have two work sheets where I have data.
Sheet1 contain daily input table which as follows:

Namesalary Bonus Check
XX1000 2 FN
XY900 1 NA
YY1100 2 FN
ZY1500 3 DP
ZZ1250 2 FN
AA1050 2 NA
AZ 950 1 FN
Sheet2 have table where all the information is saved. So we can say this is database of sheet1. Which store every day information of sheet 1.
Code:
SALARY DATABASE
Name SalaryBonus
What I want to do is that ---it copy all the data which fullfile condition FN and move to the Sheet 2 which is salary database. Two important things to check is that. IF name already exists in the sheet 2 then it replace old info with the new one. Second thing is to sort the whole table(Salary database-sheet 2) according to A-Z (Name column). I use office 2003. I hope I provide all the information.
Replace Character Used In Formula Where Formula References Cell
Feb 23, 2008I am using vlookup to get a cell value from another sheet, but if the cell has "&" or "/" I need to substitue "&" and "/" with "and" so that the cell can be added later to a url.
i am using =VLOOKUP(a1,Sheet2!A1:W17968,6) to get the value of a1 in sheet 2 and return the value of column 6
this will return "Audio Cables & Leads" but i need it to say Audio Cables and Leads
I need the formula to also check and replace "/" with "and" as well so cables/wire will be Cables and wire
CHAR(10) Linefeed / CHAR(13) CarriageReturn Displays Square
Jan 8, 2008I have a cell that is acutally a concatination of several other cells. The formula is something like this....
=A1 & B1 & A1 & C1 & A1 & D1 & A1
Cell A1 contains the formula =char(13). This forces a line break between each data element.
My problem is that on some peoples machines the cell displays with a square at the end. I'm not sure why it does this only on some machines. Is there a better way to do this or is there a way to suppress the square?

Append All Digits Before Character To All Numbers Between The Same Character
May 18, 2008I have got a list of numeric abbreviations, for instance 10739011/21/31/41. What it should really display are the numbers 10739011, 10739021, 10739031 and 10739041 (the first six figures stay the same). All the numbers in my list are 8 figures long. I want to change the list from the list seperated by the backward slash to the complete numbers. I have uploaded an example of the list with backward slash between the numbers. Is there a way that Excel can automatically change these numbers to the full numbers?
Because all the numbers are 8 figures long, I thought the first 6 figures of the 1st number can be copied and those 6 figures pasted before the other two figures after the backslash. Auto Merged Post Until 24 Hrs Passes;sorry, pressed OK too quickly. The problem is that there are sometimes 4 numbers in the cell, sometimes 6 and once three. I would like Excel to complete all the numbers in the cell and then move on to the cell underneath it and so on. Also, I would like each number to have it's own cell.
