Combining Multiple Cells Into One With Comma Separation Based On Item Number
May 14, 2014
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:
File Name
59481A_1.jpg
59481A_2.jpg
59481A_3.jpg
59481A_4.jpg
59481A_5.jpg

Item Number

Q110XL

Final Image List

I am using a vlookup and have a problem. I am assigning a category to an item number based on the first two characters of the item number. For example item number 60123 would equal scrap because of the first two characters of 60. But the item number can begin with either a number or letter. Here is the formula I am using that works for item numbers that begin with numbers:
=VLOOKUP(VALUE(LEFT(E2,2)),Sheet3!A:B,2,FALSE)
It works fine until I reach a item number that begins with a letter, then I get the dreaded #Value error. If I take the value out of the formula then it works for the letter based number items but not for the number based item numbers.

I'm currently doing a survey using an excel workbook that contains multiple questions across multiple worksheets using radio buttons linked to certain cells.
I have around 400 workbooks coming back to me, so what i want to do is take specific values from across many worksheets within each workbook and combine them into a large master table in a seperate workbook.
I've tried using VBA, but not being very proficient at it i've hit a brick wall with that, so i'm hoping that there is an easier way to do it than what i'm currently pursuing.

I have the following setup,
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 have several lists of hundreds of emails that I need to list in an email string via Lotus Notes. I need a space and comma in between each name, ex:
john.doe@dm.com, john.doe1@dm.com, john.doe2@dm.com
I am using the below formula manually but it is taking too long. How to automate this? Is there a way to create the space and comma for as long as the list is?
=CONCATENATE(B6,", ",B7,", ",B8,", ",B9,", ",B10,", ",B12,", ",B13,", ",B14,", ",B15,", ",B16,", ",B17)

I have a table based on transport numbers who sometimes have doubles. Example:
Number Postcode Value1 Value 2...
106200 8500 10
106200 8500 5
106200 8600 6
106201 5500 4
106202 4000 1
106202 4000 1
So it works as following:
A transportnumber can have multiple instances of itself, such as 106200. This transport number can also have multiple instances where the postcode is the same. These are the rows i want to combine
So shortly:
Transportnumber double/triple...+ Postcode double/triple...= combine these rows.
if only transport number is double, or only postcode, then dont combine. I want it to combine 2 columns of values, one will b the kgs, other one a price.
So example of end result for 106200 would be
106200 8500 value+value (these 2 rows matched so it combined the 2 values i want it to)
106200 8600 value ( this was unique so it stays unique)

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

I am kind of new to Excel programming and would like to know if there is a solution to my problem. What I need is to have a dropdown list (I know how to make this) then select an item from the drop down, then based on the name i select, Excel automatically fill up the rest of the cells.
For example, from the drop down list I select the company name then Excel automatically type the address, phone number, Fax number and the contact name of the company for me in corresponding cells. Is there a way to do this?

I am hoping to create a drop down list of months in one sheet, and when I select a certain month, columns in about 10 other worksheets in the same workbook will either hide or unhide columns...
The spreadsheet is laid out with columns (C-N) for each month in the year, for actuals, then columns for budget and budget variance (O-P), then YTD Actual, YTD Budget and YTD Variance. When I select September, for example, I want October-December to hide, and leave Jan-Sep unhidden, while keeping the budget, YTD and variance columns.
Is there a VBA code that can achieve this?

I have a column C with different text in cells (item's title). Column D - relevant description for each of the items. 100+ rows.
Now, unfortunately, often a spreadsheet with items is updated with many new items. So I get a new spreadsheet with old and new items mixed. I need, somehow, to import descriptions of the old items (Column D of the old spreadsheet) to the new spreadsheet from old spreadsheet. So I want excel to look for old items in column A of the new spreadsheet and, once found, insert a description in the column B from old spreadsheet.

Here I would like to get your valued guidance for the usage of "IF" formula. I am having two sheets one is new XL-1 and other is old XL-2. I want to have a item number from the old file corresponding to the same item descprition in the new file. I am attaching the snap shots of two files which is more explanatory than describing in words here.

I currently have a spreadsheet that has 4 columns. I want to review the information in column A and if it matches, I want to combine the cells in column D into one cell for the matches in column A. Here is an example of the information I have:
123456
ABC Company
901
0001
123456
ABC Company
901
0099
[Code] ....
So basically I want to review column A and any # in that column matches, I want to combine the cells from column D into one cell. So I would want the first sequence to catch that A1, A2, and A3 match... so then it would combine D1, D2, and D3 into one cell that would read "0001/0099/HRA1". Is this possible?

I don't know if the title explains it, but I was given an Excel Directory type file (name, address, telephone etc.) which has been giving me issues with various exports because of how it's formatted.
Specifically there is one names column with "Last Name, First Name" and then a "City, State Zip" column. I'm hoping that there is a way I can separate the "Name" column by extracting just the last names and copying them to a new column. Likewise I would like to be able to extract City, State and Zip and put them each in their own columns. Is this even possible to do?

I have a grand net income and net loss rows and underneath those are costs which are like the breakouts of the income and loss. I need a function that spits out a separate total income (meaning sum of all the positive numbers of those breakouts) and separate total loss( meaning the sum of all the negative numbers within those breakouts).
In addition, I have a separate table (on my spreadsheet it starts on cell B13 and that table has the total for each of the breakouts. I want to have a function on that table too that when the number is negative, the number will appear on the Net Loss column. If it's positive, then it appears on the grand income column.

I have imported a tab delimited text file into excel. One of the columns consists of a string of text - a comment section. Within this column, there are periods and for some reason it seems that Excel is treating these periods as row separators. how I can prevent Excel from separating the text into rows?

I am using Excel to calculate distances from latitude and longitude GPS positions. These positions have a format as follows:
S36 39.113 E174 25.945
These have been imported into a column, and using VBA I wish to separate latitude and longitude into two other columns. In both cases the minutes will eventually have to be express as decimals of the degrees. I don't mind if numerous columns are used as stages to get the final answer which is 36.234678 in one column and 174.15567 in the other.

I receive a monthly spreadsheet from our trucking company which tracks the package and weight of that package. However I need to pull the weight out and run a report on total weight. However it is a mix of pounds and kilograms. Please see my example. What I want is a final column of all weight converted to kilograms. Note as well the spacing in the data as sometimes the "lbs" is right next to the number and other times there is a space between them.
Raw Data
package 1
10.2kgs
package 2
5 kgs

When the entry in a cell is of the format e.g 3,4 is there any way to find the value 3 or 4 in that cell?
Attempts like:
Cells(i, 1).Value = variable (e.g variable=3)
or
Set cell_found = Cells.Range("A1:A10").Find(variable, lookat:=xlWhole)
do not find the cell with the 3 (or 4). The above work fine when 3 or 4 are alone in the cell. Is there anyway to find these values in the cell?

I do receive invoices from my vendors. They send me an invoice in PDF formate. I am using able2extract software to conver the PDF to excel. It is working great but most of the times my vendors enters the items/Case in the description field. Like the example below:
"Bajri Rotla 11 oz.(24)"
I would like to place a "," in between the last character and begining of the first number. In the above case it will be after "a" (in Rotla) and before "1" in (11). If I can do this then I can apply texttocolumn from excel and use "," as delimiter and separate item name from size and case/Pack. Then can use another "Texttocolumn" and separate size and case/pack. If there is a VBA code that can be written for this it would make my life a whole lot easier.
Following are 3 images that I have copied from actual data.
1. Original PDF invoice data that I receive from my Vendor
2. Image of the excel file before formating. This is the format from "Able2Extract" (3rd party software that I use to convert PDF to excel. Works great!!
3. Converted Excel data sheet. This is the way I want to format the data.

I am supposed to create a macro which will split the comma separated values into rows.
My main constraint is, I have 3 columns of comma separated values.
Let me explain with an example,
I have 5 columns namely:
A B C D E
123 1,2,3 1,2,3 123 1,2,3,4
Once I run a macro it should show like below:
A B C D E
123 1 1 123 1
123 1 1 123 2
123 1 1 123 3
123 1 1 123 4

I have a list of comma separated values. I would like to change these to tab separated values, and then transpose them so that they are all displayed in one column. Does anyone know if it's possible to do this in Excel 2007?
Example:
Date | Keywords
1/01/01 | shoe, shoes, clothes, clothing
1/02/01 | shirt, shirts, jacket, jackets
I need the Keywords column to display each value separately, and in one column. I also need each row to have the original date information. So I need it to look like this:
Date | Keywords
1/01/01 | shoe
1/01/01 | shoes
1/01/01 | clothes
1/01/01 | clothing
1/02/01 | shirt
1/02/01 | shirts
1/02/01 | jacket
1/02/01 | jackets
