Condition Statement Based On 2nd To Last Character Of String?

Apr 10, 2012

I am trying to pull certain members loads from our global design force spreadsheet and because of the naming convention we used for our structural members the 2nd to last character is unique to what I am looking for. I am trying to get a simple condition statement that will display the load only if the 2nd to last character of the name of the element is satisfied.

For Example, if "T" is what I am looking for then :

EDT4 will be true and give me the value accordingly
D10T1 Will also be true and return me the value
D10B2 Will not be true

I know how to use the Mid() and right() function, but I need to check the 2nd from the right.

I have cobbled together an array formula which creates the overallaverage for each trainer based on the named ranges entered via the form.

It looks something like this:

Insert New Row With String Based On Conditional Statement

Sep 6, 2008

I've been working on this project to propagate certain products through multiple categories. I chose to use excel to assign multiple categories to each product. On sheet1 I have setup products (column a) and qualifiers in the following columns (color, model, etc). What I would like to achieve is for the user to select yes or no for each category column and and if yes then have the corresponding category breadcrumb string (from sheet2) inserted into one specific column in sheet3. As the user continues to select multiple "yes" from the category columns for that single product, those additional category breadcrumbs get inserted at the end of the list in sheet3.

Wildcard Character In IF Condition

Nov 17, 2008

I have a little problem in using wildcard character in IF condition.

--------------------------
For I = 2 to LastRow
If Activesheet.cells(I,5).Text = "ENF*" then

...........................
...........................
End If
Next I
--------------------------

I want the code to search for any word starting with ENF and then take the necessary action.

Could anyone tell me how to make use of wildcards in a situation like this.

Wildcard Character In Sum If Statement

Apr 26, 2007

The below is a formula I utilize to collect totals for individual associates.

=SUM(IF('01_05_07'!$C$6:$C$102="Petri, Pete #1",'01_05_07'!$AW$6:$AW$102,0))

What I would like to do is keep this same formula but somehow add a wildcard character so that I could capture all totals for Petri, Pete as there are Petri, Pete #1 thru Petri, Pete #15. Anyone aware how to revise the above formula. I've tried utilizing the * and ? characters but I must be putting them in the wrong place as I am not able to get it to work??

Color Cell If First Character Meets Condition

Aug 4, 2007

I currently have a report that I have code on that will change the color of a cell based on whats in the cell.( Code posted below) However I also need to look at $J and if the first letter of the value in that column is a "z" then I would like to change that whole row to icolor 13 (purple).

For example J14 might be "Z-Thomas". if it does I would like that row 14 to change to purple.

Also I would prefer that the solution be in VB, so that we do not have to do something in VB with the fix below AND do something in Conditional Formatting.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim icolor As Integer

If Not Intersect(Target, Range("$A:$E")) Is Nothing Then
Select Case Target
Case "y", "Y"
icolor = 4
Case "n", "N"
icolor = 3
Case "?"
icolor = 6

Find Is Not Finding Character String?

Jun 11, 2014

I have a cell that has approx 22000 characters. I'm trying to remove a specific character string from a cell by doing a find and replace with "". It works for characters in the first part of the cell but not for characters in the last part of the cell.

Example: I do a find/replace for the characters 21242 to "" in column A and I get the expected results. I do a find/replace on 69294 to "", again I get the expected results, but if I do a find/replace on 85203 to "", I get "Excel cannot find what I am searching for" (but its there!)

My cell size is within the max size of 32,767 characters so not sure why its not working.

Attached a sample worksheet.

Removing A Character From A Barcode String

Sep 23, 2009

The barcode lablels all have the following format: A318639....that is a letter followed by six numbers.

When I scan the barcodes into any cell, a dollar sign "$" appears in the front of the barcode string that is entered into the cell. The dollar sign is not a relevant part of the string of characters in the barcode label.

What I am looking for is a solution where upon scanning a barcode into any cell, the dollar sign is removed from the front of my string and I am left with just the seven character string which is shown above.

I have experimented with the Data Validation tool by trying to limit the number of characters that are allowed in a cell to seven characters, but that has not actually removed any characters from my data string.

2-Condition Statement - 2 Different Columns

Oct 28, 2009

Rows:

Each row contains a new client (a new entry)

Columns:Clients first and last name.
Case number
Case type - Case type can be AAA, BBB, CCC, DDD, EEE, (and many more).
Case outcome - Case outcome can be Granted (G) or Denied (D)

A case can be of type AAA, and be Granted.
A case can be of type MMM, and be Denied.
A case can be of type ZZZ, and be Denied.
Etc...

I am trying to keep track of how many cases of each type have been granted and denied. If you look at the file i attached, you will see that the table is a list of clients, with different case types and different outcomes to their cases.

The problem i am having is that i need a way to have a two-condition statement as such:

if case type is "AAA" and case outcome is "G", then add 1 to a "AAA GRANTED" column on another sheet.,....................

If 1st Condition Met Don't Execute 2nd IF Statement

Dim pitchX As Double
If pitchX > 10000 Then
pitchX = pitchX / 1000
End If

If pitchX <> Range("C8").Value Then

Display Leading Zeros In Character String?

Feb 18, 2013

I have a code which displays the values of R2, S2, T2, and U2 in one cell (J2). R2, S2 and U2 are all letters, but T2 is a 2 digit number. If there is a leading zero in T2, then in the display of J2, the leading zero is gone. so if the value of R2 is K, S2 is M, T2 is 01 and U2 is S, then I would want it to display KM01S, but it is only displaying KM1S.
