Append A Number Into Existing String
Jun 26, 2013I'm looking to append a zero into an existing string
For example, A1:D1 has {1,2,3,4} and I want to have it {0,1,2,3,4} without having to use another cell.
Can this be done?

How To Append Sequential Number To A Text String To Avoid Duplicates
Jun 12, 2014Is there a formula that will add a number, in sequence, to the end of a text string to avoid duplicates?
I need to generate an ID number for transactions. This ID number is the Account Code-Last Two #s of the Year-Unique 3-Digit Number. So for instance, 5022-14-001 means it is the first transaction from account 5022 in the year 2014.
Column A has the Account Codes. Column B has the date of the transaction in MM/DD/YYYY format. So far the formula I have is:
=CONCATENATE(A1,"-",RIGHT(YEAR(B2),2),"-",TEXT(????,"000"))
With ???? being some function or set of nesting functions I need to create the sequential number. It needs to be able to say "Okay, this is the third instance of there being a 5022-14, so we need to stick -003 at the end of this."
Additionally, this "003" needs to be frozen, so if we change how the sheet is sorted and the line item moves around, it will still always be "003".
Excel 2010 :: Macro To Copy 3 Cell Values And Append To Existing Database File
May 14, 2014I'd like my macro (in an Excel 2010 workbook) to copy values from three worksheet cells and append them to an existing Access or SQL database file -- without having to leave my Excel spreadsheet or open any other programs. The database file simply needs to be appended. Keeping a running list. That file isn't being used for anything else, we can set it up however is necessary to do this.
For example, Excel cells A1, A2, and A3. Representing Job Name, Job Number and Job Total.
how make VBA do this(in SIMPLE terms)? Or give me a link of where to look or what to search for? I understand VBA but not Access or SQL.
Append Numeric Portion Of String To Variable
Aug 18, 2007How would I be able to assign a number portion of a variable string to another string variable. For example I have the following string:

only the first 7 characters won't change. The number part could be 2 or 4 digits, and the NewInfo portion could be anything.
Append Text To Existing Cell Text
Apr 1, 2008I've got a sheet in which I want a drop down box, to ADD the value* to a cell, not overwriting its current value!
*The name of the selected option in the drop down box, the names are located in Map3!A1-n, I set the drop down box to display the related number in a cell next to it.
The cell would contain some text, and by selecting something in the drop down box, it would add the name of that option to the already existing value in the cell.
So if at first the cell's value is
Hi! I 'm Mark,
and you select the following option from the dropdown box
I 'm from Holland!
the cell would end with the value
Hi! I 'm Mark, I'm from Holland!
This would probably work with a macro, already made a start with it but I couldn't get it to ADD the value instead of overwriting it.
Append Number To Beginning Of Files And Folder?

Append Number To Image Name If Picture Already Exists
Sep 2, 2008I have an Invoice setup for a Car Servicing Garage in excel. It does a few things:
1) On saving the workbook it will take a jpeg screenshot of the worksheet and save it locally
2) The name of the created jpeg file is taken from cell B9
Cell B9 contains the vehicle registration number. So, obviously my problem is that if a the same car comes in on more than one occasion (which happens frequently), the original jpeg will be replaced as the file name is not appended. This will mess up the invoice records. So what I would like is for it to acknowledge that a jpeg file with that name already exists and to just append a "_1", "_2", "_3" etc on the end of the original jpeg file name for the new jpeg file name. I have attached the my excel file so ideally, if someone could insert the necessary code or PM me that would be great.

If I wish to save a second file in the same day I wish to save as the date with “_1” or date with “_2” for the third file etc. How do I alter the above code?

Aug 14, 2014Wondering if it is possible to generate a random 4 digit number based off an alphanumeric string?
Example;
Cell A1 has 123XVF1234
Cell A2 has 321AFW4321
In B1 I would like to have a 4-6 digit number that is generated based on the alphanumeric data in Cell A1 (and so on down the list). If that is possible, I would also need to be able to convert back the 4-6 digit number back to its original alphanumeric value

If a text string is found ie A/L or Sick or anything like this then ignore and move onto next cell, loop this until all cells in column E have been checked.
Add To Existing Cell Number With VBA?
Nov 13, 2012Is it possible to add to an existing cell number with VBA rather than replacing the number? I would like to type a part# and a new qty in "Inv adj" sheet(A1 and B1) and have it find that part number in "names" sheet (A:A) then add the new qty to the existing qty in "names" sheet. (B:B)

A B
1| part-001...... 4
2| part-002...... 2
3| part-003...... 1
"Inv adj"
A B
1| Part-003...... 6 (running macro should then change "names" "B3" to qty "10")
I have this, but it only copy and pastes. not exactly sure how to get the cells to add....

View 6 Replies View RelatedExtract 2nd Number From A String
Feb 15, 2013I wanted to return the second number in a string such as this:"0 of 0 jobs ... View all jobs"
The following worked perfectly:=MID(U3,FIND("f", U3)+1,LEN(U3)-FIND("f", U3)-23)
Until this line came up:"1 of 1 job ... View all jobs"
Obviously the "jobs" changed to "job" because of there being only 1, so the "-23" no longer worked. I need this to get the second number out of the string and it can change because the data is being refreshed from a website so it could easily change from one line to another.
Extract The Last Number From A String?
Jun 20, 2014It's for listing items to eBay. Ink Toners to be precise, the macro I have creates everything I need for a listing with a few msg prompts and importing data from another sheet. Saves me hours of work. Each cartridge has a Black, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow. The macro works fine for cartridge sets that go under one name. E.g: Brother TN325 Black, TN325 Cyan, TN325 Yellow... etc.
I've run into an issue with some cartridges which have different names: HP C530a Black, C531a Cyan, C532a Yellow...
I set the macro up to deal with different number, by removing the last character of the "tonername" string "C530", then replacing it with "C531".. etc.
What I haven't factored in is the ones with an A on the end. I need a way to tell it to ignore the a if there is one.
To make it clear, I will be inputting the text: C530a From this, I need to create 3 more strings: C531a, c532a and C533a
Here's the snippet of code I'm using to achieve what I'm already doing.
Code:
Selection.Replace What:=A, Replacement:=Left(y, Len(y) - 1) & "1"
Selection.Replace What:=b, Replacement:=Left(y, Len(y) - 1) & "2"
Selection.Replace What:=c, Replacement:=Left(y, Len(y) - 1) & "3"

Finding The First Number In A String?
Jul 31, 2014I'm trying to extract the number portion from the following string. I'm trying to use FIND to find the first digit between 1 and 2 so I used an "or" argument along with the code number, however it's not working here. What I really want to do is find any digit between 1 and 9 in the string, however I started with this formula for now. why this doesn't work and provide a better formula. I want to understand why this didn't work to understand the functions better. Text string is as follows "standard VAT rate: 20% (Jan 1984)". The formula I used in the following =MID(A253,FIND(OR(Char(49),CHAR(50)),A253),2) where A253 contains the string. Is it possible to use a logical argument within a find?
