Check A Column For Certain Characters
Feb 6, 2010
I have a column which cells are populated with codes like
BGW
3UG
WWU
1BR
UUBRG
WUBRG
7UUGGRRR
and so on. As you could see, we'll always have a number from 1 to 20 (or no number at all) followed by those letters (which can be only W,U,B,R or G). I'd like to know if there is a function to count the # of times a particular character occurs in a colum. In the above example, the "U" character appears 8 times. This would be nice to automate part of the filling process.
Just a little difference: since numbers always come before the letters, I need to treat a number sequence as a single value: 12GWW should not be seen as 1 then 2, but "twelve", like it was a single character. So, if I have this column...
URR
12WBBB
6UBG
12R
12WG
...then "12" appears 3 times. Nevertheless, B appears four times (3 on line 2 and 1 on line 3.)

I need to come up with a formula to verify that the last 3 characters of a text string match the 3 characters in the adjacent cell. So I am comparing in the example below Column B to Column A.
Ex:
A1 010 B1 3.010
A2 010 B2 1A.010
My spreadsheet is very large and I need to get this done without manually having to look at each.

If character or letter "A", or "B", and so on (until "J") is found both in Column A and Column B in a given row, then it is TRUE.
If no character or letter (from A to J) matches in both columns, then FALSE.
**Numbers are irrelevant.

Is there a formula to show (true or false) whether a cell contains any characters that aren't a letter or number without resorting to vba?

In my column of text strings, I have a multiple format of strings make-up. Below is just one of them I have to check that the first 6 are digits from 0 to 9, and it is followed by a hypen. If condition is true, the first 6 digits is the output (ie. 345678).
345678-S
=IF(ISNUMBER(--(MID(A1, FIND("-",A1)-1,1))--(MID(A1,FIND("-",A1)-2,1))--(MID(A1,FIND("-",A1)-3,1))--(MID(A1,FIND("-",A1)-4,1))--(MID(A1,FIND("-",A1)-5,1))--(MID(A1,FIND("-",A1)-6,1))),LEFT(A1,FIND("-",A1)-1))
However, if I were to continue doing this for other strings, I would soon run out of characters limit that is allowed in a cell. I wonder whether a formulae such as below is valid? Any suggestion or help for a shorter formula is very much appreciated.
=IF(ISNUMBER(--(LEFT(A1,1+1+1+1+1+1))),LEFT(A1,6))

I want to write a macro that will check every selected cell. It should detect if there is a space after the fourth character. If there is a space, go to the next selected cell. If there is no space, add a space and go to the next selected cell.

I need a formula that will search the range D8-D100 to confirm that all cells within that range are either 11 characters in length or blank. I will use it inside of an error message that will look something like this:
=IF(****formula that checks to make sure all of the cells in that range are blank or 11 characters****=TRUE, "", "Please make sure that all cells are 11 digits or blank")

how to create a macro that:
- In each row, pops up a Warning Dialog Box if the amount of letters in column "J" doesn't match the # defined in column "B"?
- Preferably this would pop up the Dialog Box as soon as the error occurs (so it's always running)
Two Exceptions:
- Does not look at Rows 1 & 2
- Does not look at Rows where column B = 0 or null

I have a formula that counts if a date range is present. However I need to change it to count another column only if that date range is present. For example a17 a50000 the user will enter the date of the order. and in column B has the order number. I want the formula to count the order numbers for a data range in column A.
Here is what I have but it is counting the dates in col A not the order numbers in B?

I am trying to reformat the following data: 10-10-14-1W5 needs to look like this 100101001401W500. The full description is actually 100/10-10-014-01W500 the desired result is without the slashes and dashes. I have tried to add a custom cell format of 00-00-000-00L000. but it will not apply to the existing data.

I have a column of data, (10,000 entries), a list of file names basically, e.g:
Mortality Project Executive Summary.pdf
RPP - AA rate and swaps.xls
Commodities.PPT presentation.ppt
Meeting Preparation 20090302.docx
Anywho the point is I want to remove the file extensions (and of course the "."s just before), but some obviously have 4 character extensions, some 3, some 2 etc... Some documents also have "."s in the file name that I do not want to remove, basically just working from the right keep removing until the first "." is removed.
So the final list wants to be:
Mortality Project Executive Summary
RPP - AA rate and swaps
Commodities.PPT presentation
Meeting Preparation 20090302
I know I should VBA it, but I want it all in the one spreadsheet and that's a bit above me. The document has about 30 other columns.

I've been trying to find this on the web but haven't a clue now, I have a database query that I am pulling from an access database and now I am trying to match the last four characters of a referral string to a current location, let me show you what I mean. Example,
A(location string) B(current location) C(last location)
car/kitchen/house kitchen NO
kitchen/garage/car car YES
kitchen/car/garage car NO
I want to write a function in column C that matches the last four characters of the location string (column A) with the current location (column B) , and if they match have a YES in column C, or a conversely a NO.

I have a long list of items in one column, with parameters that are all split by an underscore.
However, in some instances, some of the text that is separated by an underscore needs to be joined together.
So for instance I'll have;
This_is_a_very_good_thing
This_is_a_perfect_thing
Where I want the result to be that "good_thing" becomes "good-thing" and "perfect_thing" becomes "perfect-thing".
How can I get this done with a Macro, instead of constantly doing a Vlookup to change this instances.

I have columns and rows that are populated with one of three letters: P, S, & T. At the bottom of the column and at the end of the row, i'd like to assign a numeric score to the entire column/row that is based on converting the characters to a numeric eqivelant. P = 3, S = 2 and T = 1. I'm guess a case statement would be used, but not too sure here. So, I'd need the code behind the worksheet as well as the formula(s) used for the score. I've attached an example.

I have got a cell or cells with certain number of Characters (Alphabetical or Numeric or Alphanumeric). I would like to remove the excess Characters in the Cell from the end.
Example: If a cell contains 234 characters, Excess characters (More than 200) to be removed from the end.
Any formula or Vba program in generic form, so that i can limit the number of Characters to as required.

in VBA how would I script to search down column and if the cells starts with "20" delete the first 13 characters?
also if it finds more than 10 empty rows it cuts the loop otherwise I may be waiting a while

I looked at a couple pages of Ozgrid solutions for people that were having word wrap issues and decided my issue wasnt related to any of them - my cells are not merged and they are not exceeding 1024 characters. I have a sales sheet with column headings as the name of the product, many of which have long names (but all less than 100 characters). For example, one cell value is "Flow Meters And Regulators 2007" and another is "Sphygmomanometers 2007".
My column width pre-format is 8.43 and after format is 7.86
The only code I use to adjust the row and column size is
With Rows("1:2")
.WrapText = True
.AutoFit
End With
Columns.AutoFit
As you can imagine "Sphygmomanometers" breaks into two lines in the short confines of 7.86 width. How can i get the column autofit to adjust to the full word?

I am tying to total all the sales for a given customer. This is what I have at present
Customer Sales
CustA 1000
CustB 500
CustA 1250
CustC 750
Elsewhere in the spreadsheet I have the following
Customer Total Sales
CustA
CustB
CustC
As you can probably see I need to get the sum of each customers sales and display this under Total Sales. I thought about using VBA but am not really sure where to start.
If anyone has any ideas how I could progress this I would be most grateful. I am using excel 2007

I'm trying to sort by a column with one to four digit numbers, any of which may be followed by a single letter, i.e. 1,2,3 4A,5, 10,11A,75,101A,600,705,1010B,1011A.
I'd like them to sort in the above order. I am only able to have excel 2003 sort all of the numeric cells first, followed by the cells with the alpha character.

Ive written the macro below to sort Column A according to the length of the cell values in Ascending order. Ive done this by writing the length to Column B for each value and then sorting on column B. Surely there is a more elegant method, perhaps using arrays.
Sub SortIt()
Range("A1").Select
Do Until IsEmpty(ActiveCell)
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Value = Len(ActiveCell)
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Loop
Columns("A:B").Sort Key1:=Range("B1"), Order1:=xlAscending
End Sub

Have a spreadsheet that contains a column of 3 digit numbers as well as 3 digit numbers with 2 trailing alpha characters.
Example:
376
377
421
376AB
376XY
377NC
421GQ
421EF
Need to sort by this column, but, with the parameter of sorting first by the numeric only, and then by numeric with alphas. So, the above list would look like this sorted properly:
376
376AB
376XY
377
377NC
421
421EF
421GQ

I have a sheet with item numbers. I basically want to know if that item number exists in my second sheet in column C. I thought I could use VLOOKUP and just return the item number itself or else it would N/A but that isn't working.
