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?
View 3 RepliesI 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.

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.
Cell A is the first name, B is a period, C is the last name, D is an "@" and E is "yahoo.com".
I want to squeeze them all together, in order, without spaces, into cell F to make an email address.
What is the formula ?
I have the correct formula but the formula is not converting over.

I am trying to combine 54 and Morning side Dr to one cell.
I have 2 spreadsheets with a total of 100,000 rows of item descriptions. The problem is that I have to combine the text in the rows to create a complete item description into one cell. The number of rows for each description varies from 1 row to 7 rows. Excel experts here are using the term "concatinate."
There is one common element to the item description. There is a unique 11 digit code (in its own separate column) in the appropriate number of rows for each description. Note that the unique # I identified below doesn't look right since this document does not allow me to show the numbers in a column.
The spreadsheet looks like the following (I have created 2 item descriptions). I have at least 40,000 more.
PAD, EASEL, 27" X 34", ERASABLE, STATIC 61562030632
IMAGES, 34 SHEETS/PAD 61562030632
AVERY #24-391 OR EQUAL 61562030632
PAD, WRITING, 8.5 X 11.75, LEGAL RULE, 61562030940

AMPAD 20-___ 61562030940
RMOD FOR COLOR AND TO COMPLETE CATALOG 61562030940
NUMBER 61562030940
I could use a formula or a macro that would combine the descriptions into one cell. One other problem was identified as I tried to combine the text. There has to be a space created after the last letter of each row, otherwise, the last word in the row combines with the first word of the next row.
I have a workbook where I track projects. Whenever I enter an update in the comments section for a particular project I enter the current date and the word UPDATE! into a column labelled Updated. The format should look like the following.
18-Aug-08
UPDATED!
As I have to do this on a regular basis I wanted to create a macro that would do this. I came up with the following.
I am trying to combine the text from the comments boxes of a full row of cells into the comments box of a separate other cell in order to provide an overview of the comments in these cells in one place.

I have about 20 choices I'd like a user to select from and have the text output to a single cell.
Just create a Data Validation List? Yeah, but that only allows you to select ONE of the items in the list -- I want to select as few as zero and as many as all 20, combining the resulting text into a single string - space or comma delimited.
My first thought was checkboxes, but all I can seem to figure out is how to get ONE of the results into the cell, meaning I'm better off with the Data Validation List because it's easier.
Especially since I need to repeat this for as many as 200 or 300 lines,
I'm trying to combine text and a cell reference using Indirect. Cell B1 contains the text "Region" (no quotation marks). In another cell I'm trying to create a reference to "Region total" (no quotation marks). By my limited understanding the below should work: =INDIRECT("b1"&" total")
But the cell returns #REF!. I've tried pretty much every combination of quotation marks around different elements of the formula I can think of. Cell B1 is a drop down list, don't imagine that's relevant, but it may be.
For making quotes at work, I'm looking to have the quotes named automatically. The format of naming our quotes is the date (in this format) then quote name: yymmddNAME (Example for today: 090720EXCEL)
I'm using the =NOW() function for the date (Cell A1), then doing a custom format to turn the format into yymmdd then in a different cell I'm putting in the "NAME" (Cell A2) and what I want to do is combine the 2 cells (Cell A3) by doing: =A1 & A2
but when i do this, the format of the date gets messed up.
I have the below macro which is failing to insert text into A1 of the Header Sheet, followed by the values in the designated cells that are from Sheet1. I would also like to have the values in cells J2 and K2 enclosed in single quotes.

ActiveSheet.Cells(1, 1).Select
ActiveCell.Value = "create or replace" & " '" & Sheet1.Range("J2").Cell.Value & "' " & " '" Sheet1.Range("K2").Cell.Value & "' "

how do I get it into the nicely formatted version most of you are using? The Mr Excel HTML add-in?
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 sheet1 where there is a data.
Column A has dates and column F, G, H have some text with ',' ( e.g. Paper, wall, taps...etc)
I want to now combine text values from Column F ( rows of current month only) and place them in sheet2 in one cell with ',' in between text and not showing same item twice.

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.

I have tried to format the cell and none of the formatting options have any effect.
If possible I would like to use the rounding function but I do not know how to combine the formula + text + rounding.
I have the below data that I need to concatenate, merge... I'm not sure.
The data looks like this currently:
So that it reads in one sentence, e.g. Northumberland; Newcastle; North Tyneside; South Tyneside (note - no "." or ";" at the end of the string).
I had come up with this formula -
=IF(A11>0,A11&"; ","")&IF(B11>0,B11&"; ","")&IF(C11>0,C11&"; ","")&IF(D11>0,D11&"; ","")&IF(E11>0,E11&"; ","")&IF(F11>0,F11&"; ","")&IF(G11>0,G11&"; ","")&IF(H11>0,H11&"; ","")&IF(I11>0,I11&"; ","")&IF(J11>0,J11&"; ","")&IF(K11>0,K11&"; ","")&IF(L11>0,L11&"; ","")&IF(M11>0,M11&"; ","")&IF(N11>0,N11&"; ","")&IF(O11>0,C11&"","")
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.
I currently have a column with each cell containing alphanumeric data of a filename.
The majority of cell data looks something like this.
"AB_XYZ_0408_00700.doc"
"AB_XYZ_0408_00708.doc"
"AB_XYZ_0408_02200.doc" etc
**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 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 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.
For instance:
Project 1 runs 8/2/2006 - 8/3/2006
Project 2 runs 8/5/2006 - 8/9/2006
Project 3 runs 8/6/2006 - 8/7/2006
Right now I get 3 rows, each with one piece of data shown as a group of merges cells.
I want to see Projects 1 + 2 or 1 + 3 on the same row (since they don't overlap).
Simply cutting and pasting up doesn't work because the vba automatically overwrites data.
I just don't know excel vba very well (long time access man).
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...
