I have a code that acts a little like pivot tables where it copies a few columns from the workbook into a different sheet.
The thing about the new sheet is that under column G i only need the first 6 characters and not the 3 words that follow it.
I was able to get the code use only the first 6 characters but it extends to the entire sheet!
How to limit this to only column G as opposed to the entire sheet?
In an active cell I have this value : " Hello.xlsm"
I need a MACRO code that will take out the characters ".xlsm".
I am trying to focus on the active cell and not a range.
I'm working with a column that contains dates. The dates are pulled from a system that doesnt always have dates in the format
mm/dd/yyyy => 09/26/2014
but instead sometimes
9/26/2014
or
4/7/2014
i.e., 0's are missing.
I'm looking for a macro that inserts these missing 0's
**So I suppose the criteria should be that if the cell is 9 characters long (including the "/"s), then it adds a 0 as first character**
and
***the cells that are only 8 characters, in that case there would have to be insert 0 again as character 1, and 0 as character 4 (if 0 is already added as first)***
I'll attach a file that contains dates : test.xls

Microsoft Outlook has changed the way that email addresses from the global addressbook copy and paste (from version 2003 to version 2010).
I'm trying to use conditional formatting to highlight cells in a column that have less than 8 characters.
I know the LAN function, but I don't know how to make it work for the conditional formatting.
So we have people's names in a table. First name in one column and last name in another column. We have a 3rd column where we can use 8 characters to do a combination of First 5 of Last Name + first 3 of first name. However, if someone's last name is only 3 or 4 characters, we'd then want to take more from the first name to fill out the 8 characters.
So:
Charles Johnson -> Johnscha
John Smith -> Smithjoh
Willian Wu -> Wuwillia
What's the best way to do that without creating some crazy formula with tons of if/thens?

View 2 Replies View RelatedOk so my formula simply wants to substitute a really long string of text with a blank cell. Problem is that the really long string of text goes over the 255 char limit for a formula.
How can I go about solving this problem. I think you could name the string of text as a variable such as "long text" and then use the substitute formula as such:
=SUBSTITUTE(A1,"long text", "")
Something like that? I don't know if it would work or the steps to name the variable.
I'm trying to make a chart viewer on the first sheet of my spreadsheet and am using this website as a guideline, [URL] However instead of the 3 charts in the example, I have 12 which makes my formula for defining a name substantially longer.
By moving my charts to the same sheet and getting rid of the INDIRECT formulas, I shortened my formula to 291 characters which is too long as the limit is 255.
=IF($G$9="Sodium",$N$34,IF($G$9="Manganese",$N$35,IF($G$9="Iron",$N$36,IF($G$9="Nitrate Nitrite",$N$37,IF($G$9="Nitrite",$N$38,IF($G$9="Nitrate",$N$39,IF($G$9="PH",$N$40,
IF($G$9="Conductivity",$N$41,IF($G$9="Turbidity",$N$42,IF($G$9="Fluoride",$N$43,IF($G$9="Selenium",$N$44,$N$45)))))))))))
Is there any way to make my formula shorter? Or to reference a cell where I place the formula?

My question is what formula if i'd have to enter to add three spaces between characters and five characters at every end of the word so it should look like this?:

I have a table that have a test or character and value (number) like

I use excel for keeping a database of all the movies I have seen.
My problem is in regard to the value of characters. I sort my movies by default alphabetically and am wondering if there is any way to exclude the word 'The' from the sort. Traditionally when movies are sorted alphabetically, that word does not count, but obviously my problem is that excel is indeed including it.
There is also another problem regarding the value of characters. When I rate movies less than a '6' I would like to write it as "<6". The problem is that excel actually reads the "<" symbol as being of greater value than numbers and will put any movie rated "<6" at the top of the row when I sort largest to smallest. Is there any way to change the value of the "<" symbol so that my movies rated "<6" will be sorted below all my other rated movies?

I have a spreadsheet which I use to enter notes related to particular invoice numbers. A v-lookup pulls the notes into another tab. What I'm running into is that the notes can be quite lengthy - in excess of 1,000 characters. When the notes get too long, they don't all appear in a single cell (unless it's extremely wide).
I'm wondering if there may be a way to maintain my notes in a word doc instead? Maybe in a table that pulls in using a v-lookup? But I'm not able to figure out how to direct a v-lookup to a word doc.

I am very new to macros I have a list of data all in column D. I need the macro to go through that whole column and for any cell with more than 50 characters stop at 50 and continue the remaining text in the cell below. This can all happen in column E.

I want the cell next to it to remove all of the letters and display only 76458992.
I have a keyword list in ColA. about 25,000 phrases.
What I want to do is create a macro button.
when i click on it a pop up box would appear called "Deleting Characters"
It will have to 2 rows, 1 saying "More Than",, the other saying "Less Than"
So, beside these words are input boxes.
So I can type the numbers "2" and say "50"
So it will look at all the rows of data in my ColA (Always from A3 downwards)
and deletes all rows with less than 2 characters and more than 50 characters.
When it is finished a floating box appears saying
"123 Characters Less Than 2 Deleted"
"101 Characters More Than 50 Deleted"
Sub NoOfCharacters()
Dim lastrow As Long, TotP, TotC, AvC
lastrow = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
If lastrow < 4 Then

I have 62,000 lines - and some of the cells contain 4 numbers, and some of the cells contain a sequence with two letters followed by 8 numbers
I want to count how many cells have the sequence of two letters and 8 numbers.
Everything Ive read so far has led me to using the LEN function, but that doesn't seem to be working too well for me.
Example: In D5 if I have AB00011111
Basically =LEN(D5) will tell me there is 10 characters in the cell - How do I get it to count the cells with only 10 characters and post the number of cells with 10 characters in column E1 for me.
