Concatenate Strings In A Formula
Aug 10, 2007
I am writing a macroI have three variables named "name", " book", and "count". In previous statements these variables have all been defined as String, String, Integer respectively. I am trying to uses all of these variables in the same formula and am encountering issues. The formula I wish to use it in is:
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=COUNT('[" & book & "]" & name & "!'""B6:B" & count & ")"
Where if book = Book1 ; name = "Sheet1" ; and Count = 100 I would want the following result: "=COUNT('[Book1]Sheet1!B6:B100)"

I am looking for a way of creating the following conditioned concatenation.
I have two tables, let's call them "summary" and "detailed".
The "detailed" table is something like the following:
ID
VOL
001
01
001
05
[code]....
The "summary" table below gets info from the "detailed" table. The 'ID'is now unique. I'm looking for a formula on the 'VOL (concatenated)' column cells it should get all rows from the "detailed" table with the same ID and then concatenate the 'VOL' column results, comma separated:
ID (unique)
VOL (concatenated)
001
V01, V03, V05
002
V01, V04
003
V06
PS: I have people using this table with office 2003, so compatibility is necessary...

I am trying to concatenate multiple strings of text where each may have composite or compound formatting. Is there any way to maintain the formatting? The Characters.Insert method won't work because the resulting string is greater than 255 characters. See an example below.
String 1: When you simply concatenate
String 2: these strings, Excel discards
String 3: formatting at the character level.
Required Result: When you simply concatenate these strings, Excel discards formatting at the character level.

I have been using the CONCATENATE function to merge 2 strings together into a single cell. However the problem is, the third concatenated cell depends on the other 2 existing. The idea is I want to take 2 columns of data, and use a formula to merge them, then delete the original 2 data columns so I have a single column with the full data merged.
COL 1 (A3) = First Name
COL 2 (B3) = Last Name
COL 3 (C3) = Full Name (wanted)
So I do =CONCATENATE(A3,B3) and that puts the fullname in C3, but I want to sort of "flatten" C3 so that I have the fullname by itself and I can delete the original cells (A, and B)

I have the following formula:
=CONCATENATE("EXP: ",TEXT(AK2," MM/DD/YY")," ","VP DATE ",TEXT(AL2," MM/DD/YY"))
But if both cells are empty I get : EXP: VP DATE
If only one is empty, i get EXP: 08/26/19 VP DATE or EXP: VP DATE 06/27/14
But I do not want EXP: or VP Date text to show if the content of the AK# or AL# is empty. I figured I will place something like If(ak#="","",
But it give me a "Too many arguments" error.

I have been trying to use the concatenate function to join some text strings to a cell on a different sheet - From an input sheet -Sheet 1 named Input, to a Notification Form (Sheet 2). Although the Function Argument display tells me that it will display the result I want it actually displays just the formula. It's a very simple thing
Address 1 10 Downing Street
Address 2 Westminster
Address 3 London
Postcode SW1A 1AA
I want displayed as: 10 Downing Street, Westminster, London, SW1A 1AA in a single merged cell. All I am getting on the Form is =concatenate(Input!c25," ",Input!c26," "Input!c27," "Input!c28). I feel sure that it is a very easy solution but I can't arrive at it!!

I am trying to use a combination of Concatenate and IF formula to produce an email.
My input.
D4: First Name:
D5: Middle Name:
D6: Last Name:
D8: Organization:
Once all these are filled, I want the formula to produce a result like
FirstName.M.LastName@Organization.com
I have used the following formula.
[Code] .....
Problem is if there is a middle name the formula works fine, but in case where there is no middle name, it produces the following result.
FirstName..LastName@Organization.com
How do I remove the additional (.) in cases where there is no middle name.

I need to do a vlookup that takes a string from one cell and then tries to find that string (embedded in a larger string) in the table array
Essentially I imagine this involves the FIND function at some point.
Attached is an incredibly simplified example of what I'm looking for.

I am using the following formula to join several text strings together:
=CONCATENATE(B4,$A$1,C4,$A$1,D4,$A$1,E4,$A$1,F4)
(in the above $A$2 is just a few spaces in order to seperate the test)
I was wondering if there is a way of joing text strings that will align all info properly? Right now it just joiins them together but visually that is not really very appealing.
This is an example of what I am getting:
11 111 1111 11 111
22 2222 22 2222 222
333 33 3333 333 333
This is how I want it:
11 111 1111 11 111
22 2222 22 2222 222
333 33 3333 333 333

I am trying to write a formula that filters on two txt strings. The table consists of only three columns an ID number, a subject field and a date&time column but the number of rows will change every week as new records are added.
What I would like to do is search for the start of text string then the end txt string compare the ID number to make sure they are the same then work out the number or work hours the call has been open for. This then needs to be repeated for all entries in the table. The table will contain many other txt strings that need to be ignored.

I'm a novice trying to figure out the following:
I have a column, where each cell in the column has one of the following "ratings" entered as text:
excellent
good
fair
poor
How do I count the number of times "poor" AND "fair" are listed in the column? I used the following countif forumla to count the # of occurences of the word "poor":
=COUNTIF(SurveyData1stRoundSortedbyDoc!Y2:Y30,"poor")
...but how do I adjust the formula so that it counts the # of occurences of the word "fair" AS WELL?

I have a database of approximately 250000 email addresses and I would like to see if there is some way to use Excel to analyse the strings in order to identify potential 'non-unique' individuals.
For example, if I have the following email addresses:
12345@example.com
12346@example.com
12347@example.com
or
example1@example.com
example2@example.com
etc
Is there some way of extracting common text strings, lets say where there is a difference of 1 character / digit between strings (rather than alphabetising and searching manually)?

I need to do a vlookup with the array starting on a row determined in another cell, so I've tried concatenating the number into a formula but this doesn't seem to work. Is there something else that I can do?
E2 is 134
=CONCATENATE("=VLOOKUP($B2,$C$", E2+1, ":$F$2571,3,FALSE)")
returns: =VLOOKUP($B2,!$C$135:$F$2571,3,FALSE) but not as a formula, as text and I need the formula...

Is this possible because when i try to use the Substitute formula my Concatenate formula is doesn't work. This data in cell A1 is linked from another sheet
PHONE
WIRE
CANDY
INDIA
When I use the Concatenate formula only, it works fine but when i try to add the Substitute to this, it looks like this
PHONE WIRE CANDY INDIA
I want it to look like this, removing any blank lines within cell A1
PHONE
WIRE
CANDY
INDIA
Something wrong with the formula? how come it doesn't do both?
=SUBSTITUTE(CONCATENATE(A1),CHAR(10),"")

I have a DDE code that returns a stock symbol value. The code is as follows, where @ES# is the symbol:
=NeoTicker|q!'@ES#,last'
I am trying to create a cell so when I put in a symbol (H10), it automatically gives me the quote. So I split up the code and then concatenated it as follows:
G10: '=NeoTicker|q!'

I'm looking for the easiest way to count the number of occurrences within a cell range.
The formula that I'm currently using is:
=COUNTIF(D$5:D$8,"a*")
This counts the number of cells that start with 'a' and returns the sum. It seems to work fine, but when I try to make it look for more values in the range it gives me an error. For example;
When I want to find multiple values in the range and count them all, I use this formula:
=COUNTIF(D$5:D$8,OR("a*","b*","c*"))

I have a time in cell C10 in hh:mm format, in cell D10 I want to add the text "DFL" in front of the time, remove the ":" and add "HRS." at the end of it. For example "DFL0715HRS." I have been able to get the following formula to work:
=CONCATENATE("DFL",(TEXT(C10,"hhmm")),"HRS.")
However sometimes it may not be a time, it could also be "Rest Day" in cell C10, if it says "Rest Day" I need it to add the text "DFL" in front as before and then change "Rest Day" to "RDFLEXI." For example "DFLRDFLEXI." I have been able to get the following formula to work but only if it is "Rest Day", if it is a time such as 07:15 it doesn't work.
It shows "DFL07157R0.": =CONCATENATE("DFL",IF(C10="Rest Day","RDFLEXI.",(TEXT(C10,"hhmm"&"HRS."))))
I think it is trying to continue doing something with the text function

I'm looking for a formula that utilizes an "if/then" condition. I'm attaching a sample workbook of what I'm dealing with. I need it to end up so that column "E" holds: if a equals c, then e = b, "and", d, c Does that make sense? I manually entered my desired end result into column E in the sample workbook.
