Clean A Column To Leave Only Certain Text And Numbers
Apr 20, 2009
I have data listed in column A. The data appears in text, blanks, and phone numbers....all in different rows.
I need to capture only the phone number and 3 rows above it no matter what the text says or how many rows inbetween each phone number. Then proceed to copy and paste it to a new sheet into one column.
This needs to continue until i reach the end of column a.
Eg. row 1: the fox
row 2: the pig
row 3: animals
row 4: water
row 5: land
row 6: (780) 111-2222
i need to copy rows 3-6, paste to new column and then continue down column A looking for the next chunk of data to copy and paste.
So it would turn out to look like:
row 1: animals
row 2: water
row 3: land
row 4: (780) 111-2222
I need to delete all characters BUT numbers (including decimals) in my sheet. Does anyone know how I can do this? I can do it either by using the find/replace menu, or use vba.
I'm trying to remove leading spaces in cells that have numbers. I'm familiar with the functions TRIM and CLEAN but they don't seem to work on numbers. Unfortunately, just reformatting the cell as text doesn't work.
I need to do in excel, clean same lines and text to columns.
In the 1fs sheet "Sheet1" is the file I need to clean same lines and text to columns; In the 2sd sheet "final" is the result I need in the end of the clean lines and text to columns;
I have this code, which is primarily built by the record macro utility. I know that record macro does some unnecessary steps such as selecting while inserting columns etc which is generally never done in vba.
I've got a spreadsheet that's basically a large list of numbers, both whole and decimal. For example, let's say this is in cells A1-A5:
4 0.65 1.34 3 8.2
Is there a formula to get rid of all of the whole numbers but leave the decimals? (What I mean by that is I don't need 4 or 3 as they're whole, but I need the decimals to be left alone).
I know it's probably a really awkward question but I have over 2,000 lines to go through, it will take a long time to do manually.
Perhaps if it's not possible to a formula to delete entries, maybe just make all whole numbers say something like "NO", so that I can sort the column in A-Z order and delete all of the 'NO's quickly by highlighting them all together.
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'm working on a spreadsheet with about 400 rows and 10 columns. All the numbers in the columns are formatted as text, which doesn't allow me to use AutoSum. I have selected the cells and formatted them as number with no decimals, but AutoSum still doesn't work because the formatting hasn't changed and they're still formatted as text. I know if I double click each cell, the cell changes the format from text to number, but that will take a lot of time to change 400 cells in each of the 10 columns. What can I do to quickly reformat the cells from text to number?
I need to create a leave tracker wherein i will get the names of the person who want to take leave in that particular month. I have prepared a calendar to make an entry. I need to take care of the following things
1) The person must have sufficient leave balance available to take the leave. so i have to first check if he/she has sufficient leave balance.
2) There are four team leaders and each team has around 13-14 members. so if lots of people from the same team apply for the leave then they will not be eligible for leave. this i want to know in percentage as to how much percentage of people are taking leave from that particular team.
In my excel sheet, data present in the column are in dynamic range. After that I want to delete or clean all blank column which is bordered and in fill color. What VB program I have to write.
E.g. if data is present upto column 'J', then I have to clean all columns from 'K' onwards..(where bordered and fill color there)
I have a spreadsheet with three columns (A,B,C). I want the third column C to be column A - B (A minus B) for each row, but only if there is a value in column B.
If there is no value in column B, then I want that row in Column C to just stay blank.
I have asked this before as to a formula to get rid of the text and only leave the #01941. The formula I received is =LEFT(C4,FIND(" ",C4)-1) and it works fine.
My queston now is there a way to only leave ATF Cleaner? No ( ) around it?
Remove the texts, punctuation marks, i.e; hyphen's, slashes, colon etc from a particular column and get me only the numbers?
Attached is the sample sheet : Fleets NOVEMBER 2012.xls
The numbers that we see in Column C is very mandatory. These are the Receipt numbers and that's exactly what i need. I do not need these texts along with it....neither the punctuations..
I quickly put together an inventory form on our company server where employees can essentially just enter part numbers, quantities, and a few other things, rather than write everything out. So what might happen is, an employee puts together a list of 10 items with their respective quantities, but a few days later, another employee pulls up the spreadsheet and needs to add a few more of a part already listed. Protocol for the company is to do a separate line, rather than add it to the line where the item is already listed. What I am trying to do is, create a separate sheet within that workbook, that simply lists the part numbers, in order, with their total quantity. I have attached a basic spreadsheet showing what I would want, with a tab at the bottom labeled, "What I want."
I have a spreadsheet that contains given answers to a multiple choice test. I want to count the number of times each possible answer has been chosen at the bottom of the column. I have tried to use COUNTIF and that works fine to give me the number times each answer has been chosen but there is just one annoying thing. If the given answer hasn't been chosed by anyone, a "0" is automatically entered into the cell. This tends to really clutter up the spreadsheet and I would prefer for the cell to be left blank if the answer hasn't been chosen by anyone.
The closest I can come up with is: {=IF(D1:D10="","",COUNTIF(D1:D10,"A"))} but unless the answer "A" is chosed in D1, the cell remains blank.
If "A" is chosed in D1, then the formula works and counts all the rest of the cells that have "A" as an answer.
Every AM I run a report that has ALL of our company order numbers from the 2 systems we use. I get those reports and put them into 2 columns. instead of manually inserting so they all match up, is there a way to do this automatically? ....
So if I have this data in a column you notice they have different length. Now I want my macro to add leading zeros until the length of all occurrences is 4.
I know for numbers you can do a range.numberformat = "0000".
But this won't work for B74 because (obviously) it will not be recognized as a number.
I know in a formula you can do it with the command TEXT. However I do not want to create extra columns I want something to alter it in place just like the numberformat does but then for numbers and text.
I have the following data in column b and I would like to extract into individual cells.
I would like to extract upto the first number, number text after first number etc
I have several rows and the data lengths are variable
Liverpool FC 2 Sheffield United 1 Manchester United 0 Everton FC 3 Middlesbrough 2 Manchester City 0 Norwich City 2 Chelsea FC 1 Oldham Athletic 1 Crystal Palace 1 Queens Park Rangers 3 Southampton 1
I have some data that is both text and numbers in the same cell. I would like to split the the data so that the text is in one column and the numbers are in another column.
The numbers are all a fixed length (15 chars) so I know that I can use the following formula = RIGHT(A1,15)
However I am not quite sure how to split the text as the length can vary as as well as the number of words in the string.
For example A1 is 1 word with 7 characters but A2 is 2 words, 14 characters long inc space.
In Column A, each cell up to A2197 has had data manually entered. A2194 has data AD453302085PIND, A2195 has data AD453302086PIND, A2196 has data AD453302087PIND.
Following on from A2197, I need to increment each cell by one number. I have modified the following solutions which were provided yesterday ="AD"&RIGHT(LEFT(A2196,5),3)+1&"PIND" and
By "Return all row numbers that have a given value written somewhere inside text in their column B" I mean....
I want to be able to search an alphanumeric value "ABC12345" within a column that has a paragraph of text written in each row, I want to know which rows have this value written somewhere in them and have it return 2,4,33, as row 2 and 4 and 33 have this value in them inside column B on that row.
on column A i have the respective row numbers all the way down ie: ( 1,2,3,4, etc) (to pull up the row numbers)(unless you have a better way)
On Column B i have the paragraphs of text to search in (there is lots of text and spaces in the paragraphs.)
On column C i have the value to look for... ie: ABC12345 (different values in each row of column C) to be compared to all of column B
On column D would be the formula to Pull down and get the results.
and something tells me you might have a better way of getting the row numbers rather than having column A dedicated to numerating each row 1,2,3,etc
1 paragraphs of text look for it's found in row #
2 anything can be written here and might have ABC11112 DDD77777 4
3 anything can be written here and might have ABC12345 ABC55555 5,6
4 anything can be written here and might have DDD77777 BBB11111 Not Found
5 anything can be written here and might haveABC55555 ABC11112 2
6 anything can be written here and might haveABC55555 ABC12345 3
One has numbers the other has "YES" or is blank. I want a formula to look at the second column and where there is a "Yes" then count the number in the same row in the first column.
