I have text strings consisting of about 500 letters consisting of A, C, G and T. I need to switch A-->T, C-->G, G-->C and T-->A across the whole string. I've tried searching for methods and several techniques without success.
View 9 RepliesI am in need of a formula that will separate a string of text. Specifically, I want to pull out the number values (including cents) from the rest of the text. This is how the text reads:
10.00 OVERDRAFT PROTECTION TRANSFER FEE
10.00
56.00 ELECTRONIC/ACH DEBIT
56.00
199.00 ELECTRONIC/ACH DEBIT
199.00
2,017.64 ELECTRONIC/ACH DEBIT
2,017.64
The data to the left is the data I am working with and the I want the results to read similar to the results on the right.
So for a program I am writing, the user inputs a text string of 200+ alphabetic letters. Only 20 of the 26 alphabet can be in this input (excluding BJOUXZ). What I need to have a macro or function do is check to make sure none of these 6 alphabet letters are present in the string, and also check to make sure no numbers are present either.
Also, I would love for the input text to be converted to Uppercase for all letter as it does this check.
Looking to extract a numeric value with two letters attached to it from text strings. The text strings vary. Below are the examples I'm looking to extract .51OZ from the first cell, 12CT from the second, and 30CT from the third.

i have a list of 2000 fields which have the same format IE "AB10014"
I need to remove the "AB" from every field and leave the #.
Besides putting a space and running text to columns I'm not sure how.
So I'm just a lowly intern who has been given the task of changing date formats in a bunch of spreadsheets. The string is as follows:
1015 Dixon Schwabl Est. for Creative Svcs 101207.pdf
I have to change the date at the end (mmddyy) so it reads as yyyymmdd. There is a long column of these strings, and i have to do it on over 300 spreadsheeys.
I am working with flight numbers and want to split out the letters from the digits. Examples,
BA1234A
BA123
EZY4566H
BE7893B
In column A I need the first two or three letters only,
BA
BA
EZY
BE
In column B I need everything to the right of what appears in column A
1234A
123
4566H
893B
etc.
I'm trying to update a series of different sheets in a book based on what month I have filled in data for. For example, at September Month End, I will fill in data vertically. Now, I have different tabs that reference certain cells in that column. There row number never changes, but once a month I have to go through and increase their column letters by 1, and there are a lot of places to update. Can anyone lend me some ideas or a solution to how I should go about using formula/macro to update these cells.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am looking for a while for a macro or a function, which should change needed letters in string into needed ones.
Example:
A1 cell contains words "John Johnson Martinson". I want to switch "n" letter into my specified, lets say "m" and the result should be "Johm Johmson Martimsom".
I would like to get it within range of columnA. Is it possible to get?
A given string of some letters (from three to five, six) is followed by a single number (1-4). Then it ends, or is followed by another such combination, up to a maximum of, let's say, four.
Example:
xxxx1
yyy3yyyy1
xyzxx1yxz4xzx1
xxx2xxx2xxx2xxx2
What I would like to do is to divide a given chain of characters into the smallest chains which contain only letters and one number. To the examples given above, I'd like to receive the following sets:
xxxx1
yyy3 and yyyy1
xyzxx1 and yxz4 and xzx1
... and so on
Is it somehow possible to do it with simple functions? Or is VB necessary (which sadly I don't know)?
I have a set of letters in a single row DISATAGFOORCBORDQFINFCOBBKIEHDSMCNRSKARDFCJSLCQCECFVSBCBOYKPVYKC. I want to distibute them across 5 columns such that each letter occupies one cell. I might want to specify a different column width later on so the solution should be flexible.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a list of about 1,400 numbers ranging in different lengths. What I'm trying to accomplish with a formula is to remove the single letter at the end of each number (not all numbers have them) and in addition to removing all zeros at the beginning of the number (again not all numbers have them).
Here is an example...say I have the following 5 numbers:
8014554
45678456
87451245
0008014554b
0008014554c
And what I need my formula to do provide is the following results instead:
8014554
45678456
87451245
8014554
8014554
So far I have started with the following =LEFT(A1,LEN(A1)-1), but that will always remove the last character (number and letter).
I have a list of 3000 strings, all in seperate cells, in a column.
Within each string, are ( say 13 ) letters ( for convience) "A" through to "M" which are of interest to me
The 'letters' of interest occur either once or twice , or none within the individual strings. When a 'letter' of interest occurs within a string , putting a marker in a column on the same row is sufficient.
Using vba, I have extracted the cases where 2 'letters' exist within the strings, by using 3 nested FOR NEXT loops, with an IF test in the middle of
If (InStr(Cells(i, 2).Value, IndexLetter#1) > 0) and (InStr(Cells(i, 2).Value, IndexLetter#2) > 0)Then
and then put my marker in cells(i,3)
where : IndexLetter#1 is set in the outermost of the FOR NEXT loops as one of the 'letters' of interest, and similarly IndexLetter#2 is set on the next inner of the FOR NEXT loop . The inner most FOR NEXT loop ( i ) is the list of 3000 strings
I want to put a marker next to the string , when only ONE of the 'letters' is present in the string AND NONE OF THE OTHERS
I would like to take the below strings and remove any numbers and just leave letters. Or extract the payee from the string. If at all possible, I'd prefer this in a formula.
Card Purchase WAL Wal-Mart Sup 320004 0532 WAL-SAMS CENTRAL LA
Card Purchase WAL-MART #0532 053201 308 N AIRLINE HWY CENTRAL LA
Card Purchase LEBLANC'S FOOD S 874301 209 S. AIRLINE HWY CENTRAL LA[code]....
Basically, (the first line above) I'd like to remove the words "Card Purchase" and any numbers...or preferably just leave "Wal-Mart Sup" instead of the full string. I'd like the product of the first line to match the product of the 2nd line.
I've got this problem: I need to separate around 40 alphanumerical entry in Column'A' to Columns'B','C','D','E'..

This is column a and b. Looking at b I am looking for a formula that will pull the first capital letter out of each word like ACR to create color codes.
I have a string that may consist of one, two or three digits. If it has one digit, I want to append two zeroes to the left of it. If it has two digits, I want to append one zero to the left of it. The string is titled "Result". In this case, the original string was "64" and I wanted to change it to "064".
I tried this, to no avail:
If Len(Result) = 2 Then
zero = 0
Result = (zero & Result)
MsgBox ("The new value for result is " & Result)
End If
-----------------------
How can I alter the value of a string depending up its length (in this case)?
If I use a new variable, the transfer of value works okay, as so:
If Len(Result) = 2 Then
zero = 0
Result1 = (zero & Result)
MsgBox ("The new value for result is " & Result1)
End If

I have a macro to make a chart, and I am trying to tweak it so that it will assign the appropriate labels to the axes. I have the macro set up so that all I have to do is pick the two rows that I want plotted against one another, and it then makes separate series in those rows for each data point. I am trying to make it so that it will also pick the value of the axis from the A column. The code I have been trying is:.....................
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a conditional formula which populates a string depending on the value selected by user.
E.G of formula is:- =IF($B$1=0,"CONTACT PERSON - OPTIONAL",IF($B$1=5,"CONTACT PERSON - MANDATORY",""))

I have a conditional formula which gives a value based on what the User specifies.
Example of formula is:
=IF($B$1=0,"CONTACT PERSON - OPTIONAL",IF($B$1=5,"CONTACT PERSON (FINANCE ONLY) - MANDATORY",""))
If the result of the string is " CONTACT PERSON (FINANCE ONLY) - MANDATORY " then
- word MANDATORY (not the whole string) should be in RED

Not intending to use VBA. Is this possible?
I'm taking some university classes and one of them is called Applications Programming and we have been using excel VBA. I have a project that I'm working on, and it's very basic. Basically we need to create a userform that has 3 option buttons, 4 check boxes, a couple labels and a couple text boxes. It's suppose to be a ice cream selection terminal. Option boxes for basic flavors of ice cream, check boxes for toppings, one text box for user input of number of scoops of ice cream and the last text box to output a reciept/overview of purchase.
So here's the question... I was wondering if there's a way to change the font of a single string variable, or change the font of a word within a string. My output to the saleBox(My receipt overview) is this:
saleBox.Text = ("Thanks you for your Purchase") & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & _
"You ordered " & numOfScoop & " scoops of " & flavorChoice & "ice cream" & vbCrLf & _ "Topped with: " & toppings & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & total
(not sure how the code is gonna look in the message but I'm sure you get the idea)
i want to be able to change the font for the flavorChoice or toppings variables. They are both strings.
Anyways, I know I can get away with basically what I have there and get full marks, but I like going above what the basics are. If it's kinda complicated.
I'm gonna attach a screenshot, more info is better than not enough right... nevermind its askin for a url!

I have a list of global e mail addresses which are listed as
Joe Lewis/NL/BNRO/NL
Rocky Balboa/BR/BNRO/NL
What i need to do is to highlight any name that has the letters BR,UY,or PY after the first back slash, so in this instance Rocky Balboa needs to be highlighted
how to or if it's possible to change the font color of a string variable? or is there any workaround?

I have a column of cells, some blank, some containing just numbers, some containing just letters, some containing numbers preceded by the the letter 'p'
E.g.
frt
34.2
36
p34.5
In the cells containing the number preceded by the 'p' - i would like to remove the 'p' leaving just the number, with all other cells remaining unchanged.
how can I seperate small and big letters from one collumn, example:
NAME
name
NAME
NAME
name
name
Is there a VBA command to get the letters, instead of the numbers, of the column of a selected cell?
I have to letter a list whihc means setting up a loop using character codes.
I may have to go into double letters so I am working on how I would set up the loop for if and when it gets past 90 and starts on double letters. so far the highest is the letter "U"
of course the easiest would be to pick up a column value as a letter
NT values do not get a number
A_____ _____NT###
B_____1_______C####
C_____2_______RMK###
D____ _______NT####
i am guessing the loop might involve some arithmetic test between the count and the character set 65-90. or maybe a mod thing.
