I need to format C2 so that it removes all text that comes after a dash in B2, but if no dash exists, then it returns the text: Parent. For example, here are 3 values in B2, B3, and B4:
1234-s
1234-m
1234
In C2, C3, and C4 I'd like to have the following values returned based on the above values in B:
1234-
1234-
Parent................
I have the following two columns, and would like to obtain for each individual Company, the corresponding Country values excluding duplicates as text in a single cell.
Company 2Country B
Company 2Country C
Company 3Country C
Company 3Country C
Company 5Country A
Company 5Country C
Company 5Country C
For example:
- For Company 2, a cell containing "Country B, Country C"
- For Company 3, a cell containing "Country C"
- For Company 5, a cell containing "Country A, Country C"
I've approached generating an array using an IF statement, as in =IF(INDEX(A1:A8="Company 5",,),INDEX(B1:B8,,)," "), which returns the following array: ={" ";" ";" ";" ";" ";" ";" ";"Country A";"Country C";"Country C";" ";" ";" ";" "}.
The question is: how do I get that array to produce, as text in a cell: "Country A, Country C". Note that the duplicate Country C has been removed.
There are a few "StringConcat" User-defined functions that I've found elsewhere on the internet, but they don't seem to be able to handle to conditionally generated IF Index array, which I would think is key to parsing between Countries corresponding to each Company in the list.
In a cell there is text and numbers, example: ABC123. In an other cell I want
to show the numbers only (123).
I have a long list of around 400 phrases, all in their individual cells. My problem is some of the terms have duplicate words in them.
Here's an example: [URL]
Is there any way to remove this duplicate text from the cell?
I am copying text (contest results from another website) and posting into excel. As it is formatted on the original site, it posts the place, followed by a period, then the team name, then a dash, then the score.
Example ... 4. Smokers Purgatory - 662.2858
To place it in our database we need the period removed from the place, and the dash and score removed.
Example ... 4 Smokers Purgatory
Is this possible to automate in excel or is there a way to format so that excel seperates the place, team name and score? Or should I be looking for a different method?
Is there a function that can remove all text and other characters from cell and only keep the numbers? The numbers can be randomly in the cell so not only in the end or beginning.
See attached file.
I have a name field that contains last name comma first name space parenthesis text parenthesis space parenthesis text (may have a space or hyphen within then a final parenthesis).
Examples:
Smith, John (MD) (Family Practice)
Brown, Alice (DO) (Oncology)
White, Joseph (MD) (OB/GYN)
I need to remove everything after the degree so that it looks like this:
Smith, John (MD)
Brown, Alice (DO)
White, Joseph (MD)
How can I do this?
way to use a function to remove text from a cell. I cannot use VB code, due to the spreadsheet being integrated in an operational software application - already tried it and get nothing but errors from the application. Was also trying to use a Find and replace function, but it's not working.
Here's the scenario - I have a cell that returns the weight of a product from the system, but it includes "LB" or "KG" in the cell along with the weight. I do not know how many characters will be returned to the cell, as it depends on the product. It could be a single digit up to 10 digits, including a decimal point. I need to clean up the cell to only a number, because in the next function, I am trying to round up the number that is left in that cell (won't round up with KG or LB in the way).
I have a report that is auto generated in Excel format but I need to summarize the hours worked. The output in each cell in column "I" can be any of the following combinations.
IE: 1h, 15m or 1h 30m
I have tried the following formula with some success.
"=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("m",I32)), SUBSTITUTE(I32, "m", ""),IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("h",I32)), SUBSTITUTE(I32, "h","")*60, ""))
However, it wont work for the "1h 30m" combination.
I want to remove a string of text from the front and rear of a cell value and would like to do it with one formula. I have tried using LEFT,RIGHT and LEN. I would Like to use the SUBSTITUTE formula as the user can define the actual string to be removed.

I often get spread sheets to work with that have a non visable/printable character (') in front of them. I haven't been able to find a way to get rid of them other than editing each cell and removing it. I am sure there must be a way. I have attached a small sample of the cells in question.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to use the SUBSTITUTE function to remove spaces from my cells in column A. The trouble is My formula is removing all the spaces from the cell. My formula is: SUBSTITUTE(A1," ","")

Got a slight problem; I am making a "worker-plan", where you should be able to write a name on one file and have it updated (removed) from the equivalent columns on another file automatically. Here's an example with two separate projects:
Project 1 before and after changes:
Attachment 257366
Attachment 257367
Project 2 before and after changes:
Attachment 257368
Attachment 257369
You can see here how I intended it to work. When one worker is moved from Project 1 to Project 2, that worker should also be removed from those weeks in Project 1. The previous worker from Project 2 should also be removed from those weeks (in Project 2).
Are there any formulas that can make this work automatically? All week numbers will belong to the same columns in all files.
Edit: There are 30 files that should be syncronized, not just two.. I could also gather all files into one file with sheets, instead of having seperate files.
1) In any cell, I would like to remove "Area#xxxxxxxxx" (where x are random numbers).
Example : "INFO Log - [sys] Area#541185471Character#46545"
2) I would like to remove x characters before a word.
Example : 2013-08-28.txt@INFO
I would need to remove 14 characters before the character "@".
I tried to play with the LEN and RIGHT/LEFT formula but so far, I can't get it to work... The idea is to parse some text and remove the part in red (I was thinking about using SUBSTITUTE).
I am exporting lots of data from a website and for some reason to do with html i am getting   in a few cells in my description column (column C), i think that means "& " in html. this occurs in some cells but not others when i paste it into Excel. I would like to remove these characters.
I know I can do it with crtl H and the replace field blank but I would like a formula so in the future the user will simply have to paste information and then get converted information out (as they will struggle to use excel).
I'm trying to convert variable length strings which are being copied from a display and loaded into an array.
I have it working fine for the majority of the data, which comes in looking like "*ABC@US" or "*AABC@US"
However, some of the data looks a bit different, particularly lacking the @ symbol. So what I end up with is
"*ABC US*ABC US*ABC US"
What I need to get to is just "ABC US" FYI the US part can be 1-5 characters.
SO... I need a way to truncate anything after the second instance of the asterisk. Haven't been able to get it to work using various trim, mid, len, left, right, etc functions.
I know how to remove the first part of a text, but not the end. I have a very large amount of data in which the first column contains a product description and then the UPC code. I need to isolate the product name from the UPC code into 2 columns. I used =RIGHT(B2,14) to isolate the UPC, but since the length of the product name varies, I'm not sure how to isolate the product name. I have looked at using the TRIM and TRUNC functions without any luck. 'Text to columns' doesn't work because I have multiple spaces, 'Text to columns' would work if I could used 2 digits as the delimiter, but the function doesn't allow that.
Can someone please suggest a function or formula for this?
Here is an examples of how the text appears in the field. (Note: I only need to cut off the UPC code, I need the measure information to stay).
some really long product name 12 oz 5 bag 09-99999-99999
another shorter name 2 oz 09-99999-99998
I am trying to figure out if there is an easy way for me to remove duplicate text when concatenating cells together. For example if I have the following cells defined as such
A1 = red green orange
B1 = orange blue purple
when i do a CONCATENATE(A1,B1) I obviously get red green orange orange blue purple
How can i get excel to remove that duplication of the word orange without assigning each individual word to it's own cell and using the remove duplicates function?
