There are basically four fields of text (date, trans. #, merchant, $ amount) all in one cell that I would like to have in 4 separate columns without having to cut-paste, cut-paste, cut-paste. Is it possible for me to break this information up quickly into 4 separtate columns? I have about 400 lines of text like this and would like to find a faster way to do it.
I'm trying to automate a very laborious process where text data is taken from a series of cells in excel 97 and is turned into HTML tables - I've got it all working except for one thing, when I extract the contents of the text the paragraphs are lost and are merged into one long piece of text - obviously I need to insert <br /> characters where the paragraphs are to get this working. how I can extract text from with some kind of marker for the paragraph sections? Or is there a way to insert characters where the excel cell has a paragraph mark (ie a return key has been pressed).
I am working with a column which always displays the cell contents with oldest notes by date first, then the newest note last. I would like to have the contents from a cell reversed with the newest user input by date on top which will simply when reading. Here is an example of a cell. The string always starts with (MM/DD/YYYY TT:TT:TT AM, then user name).

I am trying to select and move text from one column to another. I have roughly 1,000 cells in column A and I would like to tell Excel to select characters at certain positions and move them into the adjacent column.
I want it to look like this...
column A column B ABCDEFGHI BCI
Each cell in column A has a 9-letter sequence. I would like to move characters 2,3 and 9 into the adjacent column
It's difficult to explain, the attached shows the situation better. Basically there's a picture that is somehow linked to a cell. But, you can update the picture or the cell and the other one gets updated.
I am entering large amounts of text into a text box uisng VBA code.
In VBE I need to line break the text using "space _" in order I can keep the text manageable on the screen. Problem is VBA is telling me there is a limit to the number of line breaks I can have in a sub, how I can solve this, ideally would like to paste a para of text at a time.
I have a spreadsheet that has a column of text that is always 10 characters long. There are 10 rows of text so there could be 100 text characters if all rows are filled. The rows usually will not all be filled. There will probably be blank rows between used rows. I have been able to capture the text and put it into one cell as one long text which is ok but I want to be able to break it up into the 10 character strings again, separated with a comma and space between each 10 characters.
This is the code I used to collect the 10 character text strings and put them all together as the variable "result". I used & ", " after ... Cells(r,17) which worked fine unless there was a blank row. If the row was blank it put in a comma and space anyway so I ended up with duplicate(triplicate) commas and spaces.
Private Sub test_Click() result = "" For r = 5 To 32 Step 3 'If Cells(r, 17) "" Then result = result & Cells(r, 17) Next r Range("r5") = result End Sub
and would like to know if there is a way I can quickly create a list separating each email into a different cell. I was thinking of using a MID formula or maybe an INDEX or MATCH, but cannot figure out how to make it work.
I have an email contact list with over 100 people in it. They are all in the same cell and are separated by semi-colons. How can I tell Excel to create a new cell every time there's a semi-colon?
In other words, after all is said and done, I should have over 100 separate cells with only 1 email contact in each cell.
I need a formula to insert a line break after every 42 characters in a cell , example if there is 266 characters in a cell there should be 6(266/42)line breaks.
=REPLACE(REPLACE(A1,42,0,CHAR(10)),84,0,CHAR(10))
I tried this but i am not sure how to get the start num to change to 126,168 and so on
We do large loads of new part #'s/descriptions/UPC's/etc from excel into our database. The fields are limited on character count and I would like writing a formula to break the contents of a cell based on character count without breaking a word.
Examples
Column A Current Data Row1: 12Pt HD Offset Striking Wrench 1-3/8" & 35MM (44 characters) Row2: 12Pt 1/2" Drv Socket 27MM (25 characters) Row3: 12Pt Satin Combo Wrench 11/16" (30 characters) Row4: 12Pt 1/2" Drv Deep Socket 1-1/8" (32 characters)
Results I'm Looking For
Row1: Column B-12Pt HD Offset Striking Wrench Column C- 1-3/8" & 35MM Row2: Column B-12Pt 1/2" Drv Socket 27MM Column C-No Data Returned Row3: Column B-12Pt Satin Combo Wrench 11/16" Column C-No Data Returned Row4: Column B-12Pt 1/2" Drv Deep Socket Column C-1-1/8"
Formula to split a cell at the first break/space and to keep the rest of the cell contents together? For example to separate addresses from the street and street name.
Eg.
A1 1111 AAAA BBB
into
B1 C1 111 AAAA BBB
I have tried to use text to columns but as the cell contains three or four words I don't want to have to rejoin cells afterwards.
I have a cell in excel that has 5 lines of text and I would like to count how many characters there are in each line of the cell. Is there a formula/macro to count them?
The code which you provided works fine no problem for a page break. I need to run the macro for the page break by asking the input file for page break to be done.
For Example, If excel filename "A" contain the code which you have given need to ask to input the filename "B" and process need to be done in file "B".
I have added some code to your code which you provided but it gives error message "1004" "Method 'Range' of object '_Application' failed" at following line :
Set rng = oExcel.Range(Cells(2, 2), Cells(Rows.Count, 2).End(xlUp))
i have copied and paste text and numbers from a file into EXCEL. Now in one column i have the header and 4 lines, ie Header: Details Line 1: Email :* Line 2: Tel : *( )* Line 3: Fax :*( )* Line 4: Web address :*
I want to move Line 1 to 4 into different colums for sorting and pivot reasons.
I inherited a spreadsheet from someone who knows nothing of excel, its massive and I'm trying to organize it into an actual spreadsheet instead of some weird note taking program.
Is there an easy way to take a couple of Cells worth of text and move into one cell combined.
I.e.
This is just one Example
Above would be one example, there are 3 cells used to input one sentence... I want to move those to one cell to read
This is just one example
There are also cells with Data Separated by a "/" is there a way to separate that quickly without manually typing or reformatting my wrists are starting to hurt
I have an Excel sheet with several columns of data, each containing the link to a website. To the far right of this data, I have a column called "Official Source" in which I'd like to copy over any website links containing the phrase "sec.gov" (if there are any, if not than leave the cell blank).
For example, if I have the following data in my sheet:
Column A Column B Column C [URL].... [URL].... sec.gov/Ar
Than I would want the last source to move to column D -
Column A Column B Column C Column D [URL].... [URL].... sec.gov/Ar
I am trying to create a macro to do the following (Microsoft Excel 2002 SP3):
1 - Select the text from the active/selected cell (i.e. B1) 2 - Cut the text from B1 3 - Move to the cell directly above the active/selected cell (i.e. A1) 4 - Add a space to the end of whatever text is in A1 5 - Paste the contents that were cut from B1 after the text and space in A1 6 - Delete the row where the text was cut from (i.e. entire row B)
I have never written code for macro's before, only done recording, but just can't seem to get this sequence to work .
I am working on a macro and, as part of it, I would like to look at column H of my spreadshet. If the wording in any cell in column H begins with the word, "total" I would like the cell contents of the cell in column G and up one to be dropped down one. Here is an example:
Let's say that the words "total money" is found in cell H2. I would like the cell contents of cell G1 to be moved to G2, making boths cell side-by-side having text in them - G2 and H2.

Some of the people on this list have a second name entry on the line below their first name entry. ALL of the people on the list have an Address2 on the line below their Address1.
How would I move the second name entry into the cell next to the first name entry, and then concatenate them, and then also move the Address2 entry into the cell next to Address1 (but not concatenate these)?
In a large database with a large portion of cells that contains a flag to the left of a number "<LD 2.0" what would be the quickest way to move the flag to the left of the number so that it reads "2.0 <LD". This seems like it should be simple to do. I would prefer not to have to use a second cell and formula to do the modification if that makes sense. I'd rather do a "Find and Replace" if possible.
I have a column which contains a series of alphanumeric characters some start with the alpha characters and others end with them.
As an example ABS1234, 1234ABS, 12k34AB needs to be ABS1234, ABS1234, AB12k34. The number of alpha characters at the end will be a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 3. Is there some way that I can move the Alpha characters, at the end, so that they are always at the beginning of the string?
