I am using (in Column "B") the formula: =IF(A2=A3."",1), copied down as required, to uniquely identify entries in Column "A". In this instance "10", "10A", "10B" and "10C" located in "A5" through "A11" are viewed as the same. Is it possible to have the formula recognize the enties in "A5:A11" as a unique entry and therfore have "1" entered into cell "B11"? The suffix, if used will always be A thorugh Z.
View 9 RepliesI have a series of alpha numerics items in Cells A1:A999 (i.e AB0001 to AB0999). I need to be able to perform a search the range (A1:A999), and extract items that do not conform to the standard AB prefix. Example, an item of BC0001 could be present in the range. I would need to have that item, either highlighted or displayed in a different column.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have two columns that have similar information. I want to copy the unique information from one cell to a third, blank cell. In my case cells d2 and cell e2 are almost identical except cell d2 has addition information. I want to copy that information into cell f2. I have a feeling I am making this harder than it needs to be.

I need VBA coding that starts in a cell, moves 5 columns to the left, and then copies the left 8 characters of the string. The Macro should end there, but I'm hoping to be able to then paste those 8 characters elsewhere, say a different programme or web page.
I can move the cell no problem:
ActiveCell.Offset(0, -5).Select
But how to then copy those left 8 characters so it stays in the clipboard at the end of the macro?
The formula needs to be non-cell specific, i.e. I need to use the above selection and NOT a cell name such as A5 etc.
I am trying to write a function that finds and breaks a cell about the first space.
Worksheet is:
=LEFT(name,FIND(" ",name)-1)
Have tried...
Function Firstname(name)
Dim Space As Integer
Set Space = .Find(" ", name)
Firstname = Left(name, Space)
End Function
and also...
Function Firstname(name)
firstname = left(name,find(" ",name)-1))
End Function
I am attempting to utilize the Mid, Left, and Right functions to parse out data returned in a single cell. There are twelve months of data returned with the "title" listed after. I would like to be able to FIND the title and return a specific number of characters of data to the LEFT not the right (as Mid seems to do).
EX.
Cell A1{ 1 2 4 5 3 5 TITLE1 1 2 3 6 7 4 5 TITLE2 3 4 5 2 4 5 TITLE 4 }
Cell A2{ 1 2 4 5 3 5 TITLE2 1 2 3 6 7 4 5 TITLE3 3 4 5 2 4 5 TITLE 4 }
I would like to be able to search each cell for the "TitleX" then parse data out to the left of that title (and if not found, return "").
There are too many different Titles to use IF statements and I cannot change that the data comes to the left of the title.
I'm trying to figure out why i'm getting this error: "Object variable or With block variable not set" for this

I want to take a lot of text fields with alphanumeric characters ie. " '49560-960-A908 "

I have a 2010 excel sheet containing 14 columns and 45082 rows in total. I am quite illiterate when it comes to writing macros but I know that what I need can be achieved with a set of codes.
To be more clear, I inserted two tables below. The first one represents the current data structure, and the second one is the way I want my data to look like.
Current data structure looks like
Variable 1
Variable 2
Variable 3

I've got a long list of account numbers of varying length and ultimately need to add a dash and a dot into these numbers. Here's an example
12345678 to> 1-2345.678
123456789 to> 12-3456.789
1234567890 to> 123-4567.890
The standard format is always 3 numbers after the . and 4 numbers between the - and .
I can get to this by doing a series of functions starting with this:
=LEFT(A1,LEN(A1)-3)&"."&RIGHT(A1,3) to get 12345.678 or 123456.789
copy/pasting that value into another field and then doing this
=LEFT(E1,LEN(E1)-8)&"-"&RIGHT(E1,8) to get the results above
I can't quite figure out the format to combine the multiple steps/functions into one so that I'm not copy/pasting values and re-doing the function.
I can do this in Excel, but I don't seem to have a single example to hand of how, using VBA, to extract all characters up to but not including, the first space character in a cell.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have the following formula which doesn't work:
=COUNTIF(LEFT(proposedenter,7),LEFT(F127,7))
proposedenter is just a named range. I can see this is wrong but how do I base the count criteria on the left 7 characters of an item that is matched in the range?
i am attempting to recreate a 1 armed bandit in excel and was wonderin the following.
Is it possible for excel to look at a cell and determine how many of a certain character there are within it?
i.e. if a cell contains 112 can excel work out that there are two 1s and one 2.
I am hoping i can get excel to determine whether the random output is a jackpot or not i.e 3 of the same number.
I have two access databases which export results to two excel files. I am trying to compair the two excel files (generated by access databases) to find the common data in the two files. I am using Vlookup function.
The data looks like this
File 1
Serial No Fault
40293 A
40294 B
File 2
Serial No Solution
40293 Procedure 1
40294 Procedure 2
The result should be
Serial No Fault Solution
40293 A Procedure 1
etc...
But the column serial no in file 1 has some unknown characters like 40293followed by a small square or a vertical line. The datasource for the access file that generates file 1 is actually a lotus notes database. I think thats what causing this. Is there a solution to clear these spurious characters?
The VLookup function works fine if I manually delete those characters.
I have a worksheet with five columns (A, B, C, D and E)
The cells in Column B contain letters and/or numbers (without spaces) in no particular order.
The cells in Column C contain letters and/or numbers (without spaces) in no particular order.
I want to compare all characters in 1st Cell of Column B with all characters in 1st Cell of Column C, and display the matching characters in 1st Cell of Column D, and the character count of 1st Cell in Column D must be displayed in 1st Cell of Column E. note that multiple instances of the same character must not be treated as duplicates. When execution on 1st Row is finished then repeat procedure for Row 2, etc... Stop execution when first empty cell in Column B is located.
Example:
B1 = LJLM12
C1 = KY2MLK
B2 = ZCG4GM
C2 = X4GGGC
B3 = KTCBNG
C3 = GNBTBB
The script/code/formula must output the following:
D1 = LM2
E1 = 3
D2 = CG4G
E2 = 4
D3 = TBNG
E3 = 4

I have a macro that will add the next letter to a number as a suffix but this will only work for A - Z. But i need variations of upto 150, so i need the macro to add another letter to the variation once Z has been reached. For example at the moment 1000A the next variation would be 1000B up until 1000Z but once this has been reached the macro then starts to use symbols as the code is written using ASCII numbers. So i need the next variation to be 1000AA then 1000AB etc the code i currently have is
Public Function NewVarianceLetter(lngQuoteNum As Long, Optional rngQuote As Range) As String
Dim a As String
Dim i As Long
Dim rngFind As Range
We have two characters : One debit shown as Dr
Another Credit shown as Cr
we have an excel sheet containing a problem as under:
row 1 row2
column 1 Sales 345670 Dr
column 2 Receipt 340000 Cr
column 3 TDS 5670 Cr
We have replaced the Suffix so that it looks as under:
Sales 345670
Receipt 340000 Cr
TDS 5670 Cr
Wewant the last two lines to have figures in the negative ie - 340000
- 5670
i.e. cr suffix change to negative figure -340000

Each day I recieve a spreadsheet with thousands of row. In col A there is data that has "-NCA1" or "NCA2" as the suffix. I have to "delete" these rows before proceding.
I'd like to know if there is a way to do this with a macro and ideally delete a wildcard suffix with "NCA*" in case any 3...4..5 etc are added.
Is there a way to separate the suffix from various addresses i.e
A1= FOSTER AVE
A2=WISE
A3=EL DORADO ST
A4=OLD HIGHWAY 221
Some of the addresses are up to 5 words and numbers, some are missing the suffix all together.
I find, when performing a 'save as', xl puts in a default filename with a suffix (1), or (2), or (3) and so on, to the existing filename, after I have opened a file from MS Outlook. I had assumed it was because there was already an existing file in the default directory, and so it was creating another version, but no other files with the same name exist in the default directory being saved to, or on the remainder of my computer, so I don't understand why this occurs.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a piece of code that runs and creates an output Excel sheet that currently has the run date as a suffix for the automatically generated file name. However, I now sometimes have to run this report multiple times in one day, which currently means overwriting the previously run spreadsheet (whereas I would like to keep both versions of the ruin output).
Is there a way that I can create some kind of counter for the number of times the report is run and add that as a suffix for the file name? At the moment the only way I can think to do this is to set up code that looks at the file name containing the date field and adds 1 to every number that is added as a suffix, but this doesn't seem very efficient...
Is there a formula that will allow you to add an ascending suffix to duplicate data in a column?
For example:
1234
1234
1234
1234
1234[code].....
I've been trying to figure it out on my own for a while now with no luck...
I have a column filled with 5 digit numbers and a suffix. (Ex: 12345-001) I need to delete all of the '-001' from all of the numbers in the column. There are over 11,000 numbers. Is there a formula or function that I can apply to the entire column that will delete the suffix?
View 2 Replies View RelatedFrom an Excel 2003 workbook I generate some product labels. Each label has a 5 digit job number and a quantity that are passed to variables. If the quantity is 1, then I have no problems in printing my label. My problem is where the quantity is greater than 1. If a job has more than 1 item (can be up to 40 or 50) I need to add a series of letter (or letters) to the end of the job number.
For example:
Job number 12345
qty 1
number on label 12345
Job number 12346
qty 4
numbers on labels 12346A, 12346B, 12346C, 1234D
so that each printed label has a unique job number
