I have been reading through trying to find a similar post but the nearest i could find was one dealing with numbers rather than text. This is how the workbook looks. Column A contains a list of numbers based on vehicle types. Column B contains a list of vehicle names.
A B 1 Car, 1 Taxi, 2 Bus, 2 Lorry, 3 Skateboard, 3 Bike, 1 Motorcycle,
What I am looking for is the best way to combine the text from column B depending on the value of column a. the finished results would then end up as: "Car,Taxi,Motorcycle,", or "Bus,Lorry," etc. This is just a simple list.. The one I am working with has around 2500 entries. I have been trying to do this using the CONCATENATE function and IF statement but it's just not working..... My head is ready to explode
Collapsing function: I want to select cells that I want merged, and have them COLLAPSE into the first cell selected calls Combining function: OR Select the cells I want merged, and allow me to pick a destination cell for the result COMBINE
I would like to add this functionality to all my spreadsheets in the future.
I want to use a value in one cell as a row designation, and a value in another cell as a column designation. Ultimately, the values will be text which will refer to row and column headers. What formula would allow me to do this? example:
A1 contains B B1 contains 2 B2 contains "tribbles"
I can't modify my formula to leave blank cells blank when dragging it down, Also, I've got two formulas that i need to combine. Please view the comments I've put in cells E4, F2,F3,H2 and I2 to understand clearly what am seeking. See the attached worksheet.
I know a simple formula would 'almost' do what i want...but i was hoping for a simple feature....
i have several text cells that i want to combine into one cell.....
so a formula like =A1&B1&C1.... would work fine....but is there anyway to present this data a little fancier? for example separating each cell entry after a "break" or something....
I have two columns, Brief Descriptions and Detailed Descriptions. In many cases they are different and I combine the two for one longer description; however in certain instances the two columns read the same. Is there was way to combine the two cells where any repeat text is only expressed once?
I'm trying to combine 2 cells: 1/1/09 and ABC. However, when I combine them the date keeps changing to a number. Is it possible to keep the date format?
I am combining information from two different cells to one cell using cell reference such as,(=B4&"/"&F5),B4 being a number and F5 the date. So my question is how to get the date to show as a date value and still have the other value remain unchanged. I have tried to use formating but will not work to keep the date. An example would be
I have a spreadsheet with a name spread over 3 cells
A1 = MR B1 = JOHN C1 = SMITH
i want to create a macro or a formula that combines all of the data in these cells into the first column so that in column A1 it would read MR JOHN SMITH.
I want to combine cells from two adjacent columns in this way: a1 is combined with everything in column b, then a2 is combined with everything in column b, etc. So that I have a1b1, a1b2, a1b3, a1b4, a2b1, a2b2, a2b3, etc.
I am setting up a new chart of accounts, with the format xxx-yyyy, where xxx is a three digit department number, and yyyy is the expense account. I am building a spreadsheet to populate the new chart of accounts to be uploaded into our accounting software. I would like to have a cell that takes the xxx from one cell, adds a hyphen, and combines it with the yyyy value. The result would be xxx-yyyy format.
Which works fine if there is a value in cell O, but if not, then a semi-colon appears at the end of the string. It also seems incredibly clunky.
Basically, I'm struggling (being a total n00b) to get the semi-colons in the right place, blank cells to be skipped or not included, and for there to be no semi-colon after the last value.
**Note the numbers "00700" are always 5 digits long also note the extension is always ".doc" (4 characters long). However the other parts, AB_XYZ etc vary in length based on the worksheet.
I need to ADD or Subtract "+1" or "-1" from the 5 digit number for example make "00700, into 00701"
I currently tried to separate the data into columns which provides me with the number 00700 isolated in its own cell and then I simply add or subtract 1. In that isolated cell I am able to add "leading zeroes" and it works great.
The Problem is that when I combine the separated cell data "=A1&B &C1" with the New number (in this case 00701") the problem that I run into is the leading zeroes do not follow over to the combined cell and I am left with a final filename like this "AB_XYZ_0408_701.doc" - That is missing the leading zeroes.
Also if you have a more advanced formula that could simply add and subtract "1" from the 5 digit number that would be ideal.
i need to get an equation correct for a scheduling application assume $f24 is a task frequency and U24 is our current cell location
=IF(OFFSET(U24,0,(-$F24+1),1,($F24-1))"","","X")
i am asking if (the range of cells to the left of current cells (range being task frequency -1 columns wide) are empty - and if so - put an x - if they are not empty - then leave it balnk.

Down column A I have a list of jobs, job 1 , job 2 etc Down column b I have either a blank cell or other data (will be numbers but is irrelevant) What I want is a formula for a cell that tells me which titles in column A have any data at all in column b. I need it to look like the following : Job 1, Job 2, Job 4 assuming b1 b2 and b4 have any contents and b3 and b5 and onwards are empty
I am seeing that concentate gives me close to what I want but the number of rows in column a and b change constantly and also may be above 30
I am generating a calendar view of project information in excel with the column headings as dates. Every project should be a merged group of cells spanning the rows for the proper dates.
Right now I generate a new row with new merged cells for every project (100 projects = 100 rows, even if the project only spans a single day!)
I need to be able to consolidate the project data so that if two projects' dates don't overlap they are put in a single row.
A little background, I am trying to match CC deposit batch transactions to daily sales transactions. I have two reports, one from our credit card processor/gateway (Report "B") and one from our software where the daily sales (Report "A") are recorded. I used the INDEX/MATCH formula to pull the information I needed from Report "A" into Report "B". It worked perfectly. My question is, is there anyway that I can show what information has been pulled from Report "A"? Possibly by highlighting what was pulled over? It is a longshot, but it would make my life so much easier if it was possible...
I have a step in a very long macro to populate a sheet (SheetMaster) with the course completion status based on another sheet (SourceData) in the same workbook.
On "SheetMaster" Col E starting with row 2, I want to look at whether a concatenated value of E1 + A2 is in Col G in "SourceData". The macro should run until it gets to a blank row in Col A.
Here is an example to help illustrate the logic:
E1 = Ethics101 A2 = 123456 A3 = 654321
If Col G in "SourceData" contains "Ethics101-123456", E2 = "Complete", if not "Incomplete"
If Col G in "SourceData" contains "Ethics101-654321", E3 = "Complete", if not "Incomplete"
...and so on until it gets to a blank row in Col A...
Is there a way to combine cells in excel and chage the color of part of it?
Example: On my sheet I have multiple cells I need to combine: Say A1 reads 23.65 Say A2 reads 43.65 Now on A3 I want it to read "Estimated budget 23.65 vs 43.65"
I can get this to work but here is the problem, I want the 23.65 to always be red and bolded and the 43.65 to always be blue and bolded.
I received assistance from NBVC for combining data from two cells. Post http://www.excelforum.com/showthread.php?p=2135144. I need to convert the formula into macro code. I thought I would be able to convert it on my own, but running into some troubles with run time errors. Here is the Excel formula, which is working fine.
I want to write a formula/script that searches file names in Column "A" for an item number located in Column "B", then combines all file names containing that item number into Column "C" with comma separations. Each item number will have a different number of file names associated with it (between 1 and 10 files), and there are about 2000 different item numbers being crossed with about 7000 file names.
Here is an example completed with a CONCATENATE formula:
I am trying to combine the following two function into one cell. The second column contains a "space" before the number. The third column is the result. =CONCATENATE(Q2,",",+R2) and =SUBSTITUTE(K2," ","")
Here is a sample table with showing the data and result
I am looking at combining 2 formulas and have them in a single cell. Currently I am using this one =IFERROR(IF(S3-V3=0,"Completed within agreed time!",S3-V3),"") if the value =0 but need another one if there's no value in V3 it would say "Outstanding" I have tried to add IFBLANK to the existing formula but I must be doing something wrong as it doesn't work.
I'm having trouble combining some values in cells. For example in cell A1 i have the value 372-25. In cell B1 i want to make A1 part of another value (it is an APN if you must know). So that cell would be 011-372-25-11. I would be adding 011 as a prefix to each cell and 11 as an ending. I'm sure there must be an easy way of doing this.
I have tried =011-A1-11 ="011-"A1"-11" ="011-A1-11"
I am trying to create one formula (in one cell) so that it performs the following three things:
1) Rounds any number to the nearest dollar
2) Makes the minimum dollar value $2.00
3) If another cell (G2) reaches $100.00 or more, I want it to revert to another cell's (B2) value.
So, in essence, I want to combine the following two things:
=MAX(2,ROUNDUP(F2,0)) AND =IF(G2>="100",B2)
I do not know how to correctly order these so that it performs all three things I'm looking for it to do. I've posted this before, but was given an answer that created a circular reference and did not make the minimum value $2.00.
