What I am trying to do is to have the concatenated content of two different cells seperated into paragraps.
For example, if A1=Blue and B1=Red I want the content of C1 to look like
Blue
Red
I use =A1&B1 in C1, but I'm missing something to split them.
From XL, I'm trying to search a summary document for a keyword, then copy the paragraph containing the keyword to another document.
I want to be able to do this for a variable amount of paragraphs. Currently, the following code finds the keyword in summary.doc (once) and then copies it to test.doc It's a start. I can't seem to find a way to select and copy the paragraph (even once).
The keyword is always on line1 and the paragraph is always 4 lines....
I am using excel as a base for formatting reports, and collating logical paragraphs, which I want to display in one massive merged cell on another worksheet.
The paragraphs are different for each report, and I do not wish to manually enter them in each time. I also want them to display as seperate paragraphs on the page, but in the same cell.
To throw a spanner in the works, the paragraphs are all of indeterminate length, otherwise, I could use different cells. If I combine them in the massive merged cell by using =cell1&cell2&cell3 then they will just appear merged as one whole huge paragraph. I want them to appear as separate paragraphs in the same big cell.
I have a sheet with a range of paragraphs of text from cell D2:R2.
How can I get it so that if I put an X in the column under the relevant paragraph, it will insert the paragraph of text into the spreadsheet.
For example. Text lies in cell D2. If I put an X in cell D7, I want the text in D2 to be inserted into C7.
I am currently trying to import multiple 'long descriptions' onto Lightspeed product cards for display on an upcoming website. This is probably a very basic excel problem but I can't seem to find a simple solution online. Basically When I paste descriptions into a cell they break up into separate cells by line or paragraph break When I need them to stay together as one long description. Even if I have text qualifiers around the text they still only import one paragraph into lightspeed. Maybe that i am not saving it as the right file extension...

Is there any smarter, shorter formula via Concatenate and Substitute or other formulas ?
My closest match, but not good enaugh is =SUBSTITUTE(CONCATENATE(A2&", "&B2&", "&C2&", "&D2), ", , ", " ")

I have 2,000+ cells containing text that I need to break out into multiple cells. They are names (ex. John M Smith MD) and I need each part of the name in it's own column. I need the opposite of concatenate.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm having a rather difficult time getting this one.
I am concatenating (is that a verb?) a bunch of cells to create an item code.
The combination of two different cells need to be able to give different values so I can dump the appropriate value into the CONCATENATE formula.
A picture is worth a thousand..
I am trying to get 2 rows in one drop down without having to create another combined row. im not sure what formula should i use. I have attached an example.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI want to write formula in cells(many cells!) using concatenate. The desired output:
In Sheet2!D1 - i will write concatenate of Sheet1!C6 and Sheet1F6
in Sheet2!E1 - i will write concatenate of Sheet1!C7 and Sheet1F7
in Sheet2!F1 - i will write concatenate of Sheet1!C8 and Sheet1F
Copy and paste formula would not do so i created a macro stated below. The problem is a can not change the ActiveCell.Formula correction.
I have a simple task and I use the concatenate formula to resolve alot of keystrokes. I now have an issue where I have to edit that formula because of a additional character for the string won't upload into a database. Here's my example:
1. Cell A1= 12345xxxx Cell B1= 67 Cell C1= 8
I use =CONCATENATE(A1,"-000"&B1,"-000"&C1) and my result is displayed in D1= 12345xxxx-00067-0008
Easy enough! Now adding the following is the problem:
1. Cell A2= 12345 Cell B2= 67 Cell C2= 89
I use =CONCATENATE(A2,"-000"&B2,"-000"&C2) and my result is displayed in D2= 12345xxxx-00067-00089
Now D2 has one too many characters from C2
I modify the formula by reducing to "-000"&C2 to be "-00"&C2 manually but now the line items have quadrupled and manually isn't going to work for this being so time consuming.
Is there a way to use a variable with the concatenate or am I using the wrong formula period ??
A1 contains "=2+3+4" which shows 8 as a result. I would like to add a word "Lbs" with it so it would display "8 Lbs" on the same cell. If I entered =1+2+3 on cell A6000, it should give me "6 Lbs".
View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to use a macro to write a formula within a column of data.
Here's the
i trying to merge column A1 (ABC) with column B1(XYZ), B2(LOL), B3(ROF) ..etc
with a simple =CONCATENATE(A1,"-",B1) , i can get "ABC-XYZ" , but when come to column B2 , i only can get "-LOL" , any solution ?
Create a column of concatenated values to serve as a "primary key" for a compare and merge tool (Synkronizer). For some reason, the CONCATENATE function isn't being recognized.
If I enter
=CONCATENATE(A2,B2)
instead of showing the strings located in A2 and B2 it displays
=CONCATENATE(A2,B2)
in the cell.
I tried creating a new spreadsheet and it works just fine. Does anyone have an idea of what might be happening? I have compared all of the options between the two spreadsheets and don't see any difference in them.
I have 6 columns:
A1 = LastName
B1 = FirstName
C1 = LastName2
D1 = FirstName2
I need to concatenate into 1 cell so it looks like this: FirstName LastName;FirstName2 Last Name2. Now the challenge is that there are many instances where C1 and D1 are blank (don't have values).
So here was my attempt at a formula:
=IF(A1>""&B1>"",CONCATENATE(B1," ",A1))& IF(C1>""&D1>"",CONCATENATE(";"&D1,"",C1),"")
Now this works, but it ALWAYS leaves a semi colon at the end (even when there is no C1 and D1 to concatentate. Thus I put in my IF statement the "".
What function can get me the first letter from the first name and the whole last name together and then add @email.com. Example: Hanry Jones = HJones@email.com
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have this code
Code:
Selection.FormulaR1C1Local = "=INDIRECT(CONCATENATE(""["",R4C26,""]Sheet1!"",RC))"
Which creates this in the excel cell:
=INDIRECT(CONCATENATE("[",$Z$4,"]Sheet1!",D4))
But for some reason, it returns a 0. However, when I change the code in the excel cell to this
=INDIRECT(CONCATENATE("[",$Z$4,"]Sheet1!D4"))
It works. But I need to be able to change D4 in the macro, so doing it that way won't work for me.
I have the below set of data for example,
aaabbbcccdddeeeaaabbbaaabbbcccaaa
I need the output as,
aaabbbcccdddeeeaaabbbaaabbbcccaaa
As we know, a simple concatenate will work. But my columns are not limited and not easily countable. In my real scenario for some of the rows, data exist from column "A" till column "IB". So, I need to first identify the column data exist in each row and then to implement the concatenate function.
Currently I am trying to concatenate two arrays stockotherarray and stockfittingsarray to create stockarraynew
Below is my code, I keep receiving a compile error.
Sub stockarraynew()
stockarraynew() = Split(Join(stockotherarray & Join(stockfittingsarray))
End Function
I'm trying to take the contents of 3 columns- A, B & C and have them form what I can use for a search string in column
D that I can use in a database I have.
Column A is first name
Column B is last name
Column C is Company Name
This is what i'm trying to get it to look like in column d:
("First Name Last Name" OR "FirstName.LastName") AND @companyname.com
On tab 2 of a spreadsheet, I am trying to concatenate several cells on tab one! Everything comes together in the cell on tab 2, however it does not hold the date format. It turns it into general text so just random numbers that do not even tie to the date. Any way to lock the date format for this idea?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a list containing 3 the abbreviations of states in A1:A3 (one in each cell), and I would like to concatenate the list in cell B1 to display the list like this: "CA, TX, FL". At times, the list will only have one state (always in A1), but at other times it may have 2 or 3.
I tried: =IF(ISTEXT(A),A1&", "&A2&", "&A3,A1)
But, if A2 does not list a state then it returns "#value!"; and if A2 lists a state but A3 does not then it returns only the value in A1.
What can I do to get it to list all states listed in column A whether there are 1, 2, or 3 states listed?
I have 7 consecutive cells which contain a %
e.g. A1 120%, B1 35% etc
I am trying to put them into one cell using concatenate
but am getting 1.20.3529411764705880.705882352941177
I would also like to separate them by comma,
I am using the concatenate function, however my date field, instead of maintaining its 08/07/07 state, changes to the annoying 5 digit 33935 number.
Even if I cut and paste it as special / values, it stays as the 5 digit number. Can this be avoided somehow?
Can I put the file name into a concatenate formula?
What I've got is seats for lots of different settees that I want to show up on a cutting sheet as ie:
10 Chatsworth Seats
15 Abbey Seats
At current its is reading 'Seats' from the file Chatsworth but if I can add filename to my concatenate it will say "Chatsworth Seats"
From cell A1 to A10 I have the figure 5412587
In cell B1 I want the figure in Cell A1 to concatenate with the figure one but in cell B2 instead of figure one with figure two etc. etc.
So B1 will be 54125871, B2 54125872, B3 54125873 etc. etc.
the formula would be Concatenate(A1&1). I want the "one" in this formula to be increasing so in B2 will be Concatenate(B1&2) et.c etc.
The problem is that I dont want to add an extra column to replace the 1, 2, 3 etc. in the formula.
The formula below works great for counting. I need to use the same formula to CONCATENATE all of the names in B:B. It seems as though I should just replace COUNTIFS with CONCATENATE and change Data!C:C to Data!B:B, but it doesn't work. I tried a search on the web using the title of this thread but came up with very few clues. Is it even possible to CONCATENATE with multiples IFS?
=COUNTIFS(Data!C:C,IF(B2="All","*",B2),Data!D:D,IF(B3="All","="&W5,Data!E:E,"
I have a simple concatenate in Excel...
=CONCATENATE(A1, ", ", A2)
Which produces:
This is, my text
Now, I want 'my text' i.e. the contents of A2 to be in bold.
I've played with the TEXT() function before, as per this page:
[url]
To get Excel to play nicely with date formats and stuff, however, my research has come to a dead end with Bold/Italic - with everyone suggesting that VBA is the only solution.
As I don't feel overly comfortable using VBA is there any other solution? (If not, is this a VBA 101 task or an advanced task?)
