Combine Two Columns Which Both Contain A Lot Of Characters
Dec 19, 2009
I have content in two columns side by side. A total of 1650 rows. I am trying to merge the content of both rows using =A1 & " " & B1 however, it is truncating the content I guess because the cells contain too many characters. How do I merge the contents of the two columns successfully?
Essentially need a macro to combine the columns into 1 column.
Need a Macro to put everything in each "box" into one column, for example CU is the end of the first box, CV to GP is the second box ect. Essentially a box is the row where the yellow line is to the column where the yellow column is.
The problem is the setup of these colums change, sometimes they are bigger sometimes smaller and the spaces beneth it change. Sometimes I might have a column which goes to row 18 followed by 3 blank rows then the yellow box
I first design the first colum then select that and drag across to complete the rest ( my real file has links ect )
So I need a macro in which it can scan the first column up to the yellow line then put everthing within a "box " into 1 column, each )
then repeat the same process for other boxes with each box being put in its own column ( preferablly leaving an empty column in between )
THe file itself will help clarify any problem, if this request is not possible if it could combine every column into 1 column ( along with the spaces to the yellow line ) that would help also, i could manually cut each box into another column then.
I need to find a way i can easily combine a1, b1, c1, d1, and so on, about a 100 of the, i need to combine, each one has different text that needs to become together. I know one forumula =a1&" " &b1&" " &c1, but doing that for about 100 colums, would take for ever, is there a easier way?
I have a spreadsheet that has identical data in column A throughout the worksheet and want to take data in columns F and G and combine them all onto one row. An example of the data is attached.
I am trying to do something that would look at column B and for each value that is the same in any row in column B, it would look to column A and add that value into a text string of all those values in column C separated by commas.
example, If A1=37294 A2=37295 A3 = 37296 A4=37297 A5 = 37298 and B1 = abc B2=ABC B3=ABC B4=XYZ and B5=XYZ I want C1 to result in 37294,37295,37296. And I want C2 to result in 37294,37295,37296 and C3 to result in 37294,37295,37296 and C4 to result in 37297,37298 and C5 to result in 37297,37298.
I have data in two columns (A and B), which I need to combine into one column (C) in intercalating order: C1 = A1, C2 = B1, C3 = A2, C4 = B2 and so on..... Is there a simple way to do it ?
I have 2 columns "H" and "I" from line 6 to 409. Each cell may start with AR , MA or a number. If cell H6 starts with AR I would like to put that cell into B6. If H6 does not have AR then I would like to check I6 for AR, and put that into B6 if it's found. If I don't find AR in either I would check them both for MA, and write the cell that finds MA into B6. If the AR or MA are not found then I would want it left blank. I did try
IF(FIND("AR",$H7,1),$H7,IF(FIND("AR",$I7,1),$I7,IF(FIND("MA",$H7,1),$H7,IF(FIND("MA",$I7,1),$I7," ")))) in B7.
My workbook contains information about investigations. Each investigation gets a number and a line in the workbook. Many infos are stored: dates, subject, ...
A dynamic table contains all those informations, which allows me to manipulate data pretty easily.
Issue: For one of the characteristics of the investigation (let's say names), several results might have to be entered. For example, one investigation can have 3 different names, the next one only 2 and another one can have 6.
This causes a problem regarding the manipulation of the data.
Right now I have 10 columns "name 1" "name 2" .... and only those who need to be filled are filled. I can't however efficiently manipulate the data. For example, George could have been entered in "name 1" for the investigation 1 and in "name 2" for another investigation. Using a pivottable, to track George I'd have to select him in all 10 columns.
It seems to me the best choice would be to somehow index the names into a single column with each name linked to its investigation number..
With the index function I have 2 issues:
- It starts by going down the 1st column, then goes to 2nd, ... where I'd want all names of 1 row then names of 2nd row.
Solved this with this formula:
I turned my "names" columns in a ranged name "Names"
but - When fields are empty I get 0s. When I try to remove them with an if statement, it'll just give me empty cells. I'd prefer to skip the empty cells.
Also, I don't know how to 'link' them to my investigation number...
I have this (dynamic) table:
investigation number name 1 name 2 name 3 001 George Paul 002 Chris George Suzy
And I want something like this:
Investigation number Names 001 George 001 Paul 002 Chris 002 George 002 Suzy
i need to take all cells in column A with values and all cells in column B with values and combine them into column C so i can sort and subtotal. Columns A and B may have 2 values or 2000 values.
I have two columns A and B. Column A contains 'Machine Nr' and column B contain 'Week Nr'. In cell C1 i want to write a function so that it counts the number of weeks in Column B where week number is 4 AND the machine nr is 1 in column nr A.
Column A Column B Machine Nr Week Nr 1 4 1 4 2 4 2 4 3 4 3 4
I have two columns of numbers. The first is the area code and second is the phone number. How can I combine the two columns to make one with both: as in area code-phone number?
What I'm after is an easier way to get data combined without having to type it all out. If you look above I would like to have A-C actually as dropbox's or listbox's, something I can click, then drop down to the proper name and select it. Then on E I'd like a timestamp for when this action was done with the date and time as shown along with the reason. Then in F I'd like the Name fields combined so I just need to right-click on F and copy/paste into the other program I use.
Maybe one column can just be the names of everyone with a selection box and I click this stuff then when I am done it resets?
I have attached a spreadsheet. I have a data set with ID's in column A and data in columns to the right. If an ID has only one entry then there will only be a value in column B if an ID has 2 entries then there will be a value in Columns B and C, if they have 3.......... And so on....
In my attached file I have created a macro that filters each column and copies the values to another sheet. If an ID had 5 entries (B-F) I would want to have 5 rows for that ID. The attached example macro does what I want but the real data has over 50 columns. Is there a more efficient way of doing this?
I need two solutions, if possible. One macro and then a "poor man's way" in case the macro breaks down the road. something where I can do it with copy/paste, formulas etc.
I will just use letters and numbers to make it easer.........
Column A might have 10 rows, with 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9, and 10 as the data. Column B might have 7 rows with A,B,C,D,E,F and G as the data.
I need column C to have 70 rows, with 1A, 1B, 1C, etc. .......through 9E, 9F through 9G as the data.
I have three spreadsheets. They all contain different data but each one has a 'Rental Equip ID' column. Is there a way to take these three spreadsheets and consolidate in to one spreadsheet with all the data on one sheet? I have included an example of each sheet. The column headers are in bold. I can send an example file examples if needed.

I'm trying to combine multiple columns into 1 column in Excel. I've searched a few places but most of them are tailored for a specific sheet and my VBA skills are elementary
My table looks like this (there could be more than 5 columns... it's somewhat dynamic based on the data given). Note that some columns could have no data, and the size may be different, some have 100 rows of data, while others have 5.
Firm A Firm B Firm C Firm D Firm E
[Code]...
I want to combine these columns into
Consolidated
A B B C D E
[Code]...
Is it possible to do this with an Excel formula? If not, a VBA code
I have about 100 worksheets that I need to combine the data from column A into 1 worksheet and place the name of the worksheet the data is coming from in column B of the combined worksheet. example
worksheet 1 named New York contains the following in column A
11518
11563
11572
Worksheet 2 named California contains the following in column A
I am trying to combine the data of 31 columns into one column on a separate worksheet. The number of pieces of data in each column is different and as a result I am hung up on how to code the macro so that it automatically moves to copying the next column when a blank cell is reached, as it currently copies until it reaches the 100th row and then moves to the next column even though they're blank.
Sub CopyColumns()
Dim improw As Long, impcolumn As Long, MyCell Dim ws1 As Worksheet, ws2 As Worksheet Dim improw2 As Long, impcolumn2 As Long
Application. ScreenUpdating = False Set ws1 = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Data") Set ws2 = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Details")
'paste location on ws2 improw2 = 2 impcolumn2 = 2
There are column headers for the data on ws1 in row 2. The other thing I would like to do if possible is copy these column headers from ws1 onto ws2 by pasting them to the left of each piece of data (impcolumn2 - 1).
Sample file attached. How do I combine the data in columns B-E into column A? Obviously in my sample file you'd use a simple cut/paste but my actual file has hundreds of columns and rows so cut/paste isn't an option. I need to move all the data into column A.
Columns A, B, C and D contan a list of Names, I want to be able to in column E list all the items in A,B,C and D with out duplicates. How would I do this?
How can i merge all the columns from Column D to Column Y in Column Z. The seperator between the Columncontents should be numbers in format "<<1>>" for column D, "<<2>>" for column E,"<<2>>" for column F........
i have a wordlist(arabic from right to left lanuage) containing words and meanings. Column A contains Words, Colulmn B contains Transcription, Column C contains Grammer information and the following Columns up to Column Y contain of Meanings.
!!!The meanings start with Column D which is then followed by E,F,G... Y. If any column cell is empty then it would mean, that the following cells of corresponding columns are also empty. For example if Colulmn D has content but Column E not, then it means that F,G,H...Y are also empty!
I have two sets of data, and one colum in each set is titled ID numbers. I would like to search both those colums and combine the matching ID numbers in one row?
