Copy Text Within Parentheses From One Cell To Another
Oct 20, 2012
I want to do something similar but it is looking for values between parentheses "()" and won't work with the VB suggested. I've seen some other formulas that do find the content within the parentheses but returns #VALUE! if there is not a parentheses in the field. I'd like it to copy the original value of A2 into B2 for those instances. PROBLEM: Database with First Names in A2 where some have "nicknames" entered within () and I need a clean column of values to use. "IF A2 contains () then copy (contents) into B2, else copy A2" is how I'd write in english... not sure how to do correctly in code/vb.
VB:
Sub PartialText()
Dim MyValue$
Dim ChangedValue$
[Code]....

An externally generated CSV file gives us one column which shows a location, year and then individual names in brackets, like so:
London 2013 (Firstname Lastname)
Delhi 2012 (Firstname Lastname)
I'm wondering if it is possible to separate out the text before the parentheses, so that I can show "London 2012" (for example) in another cell. The number of characters changes from row to row, so using the LEFT and RIGHT functions doesn't quite do the job.

Any formula for removing text within multiple sets of parentheses?
I would like to take something like this: Compared with placebo, dimethyl fumarate was shown to be effective in the treatment of patients with MS in the phase 3 DEFINE (Gold R et al. N Engl J Med. 2012; 367:1098-1107) and CONFIRM (Fox R et al. N Engl J Med. 2012;367:1087-1097) trials. Common adverse effects associated with dimethyl fumarate that were observed in these trials included flushing and GI events, as well as decreased lymphocyte counts and elevated liver aminotransferase levels.
and have it read: Compared with placebo, dimethyl fumarate was shown to be effective in the treatment of patients with MS in the phase 3 DEFINE and CONFIRM trials. Common adverse effects associated with dimethyl fumarate that were observed in these trials included flushing and GI events, as well as decreased lymphocyte counts and elevated liver aminotransferase levels.
I wish to automate this task so formulas (if possible) are preferred. Totally cool with a multi-formula, many-columned solution - as long as this task is automated.
NB: Each cell will contain different text, so the sets of parentheses will appear in different places. The number of parenthetical sets may also vary from 1-5.

But the formula seems to be working properly.
I've got ALOT of parentheses, 5 nested IFs, 5 ANDs, 4 ORs. The ANDs and ORs are within the IFs.
While editing the formula, I can, at times, achieve the condition where the cell references become color-coded. Or at least some of them do. But, when I get to this point, I'm usually at a spot where I can see the formula isn't right.
I'm confused. What does it mean when my text is all red when I go to edit a formula? Did I hit some limit? Again, I don't get error messages and the formula seems to work properly.

I work in school and and I have to enter test marks of students in excel 2003.
Here is my question:
If student's mark is below 40(e.g. 32), I want to indicate it by (32).

What does the (3) and (1) mean in the parentheses?
The (3) is sloppy coding instead of using the enumeration (xlUp), which you could actually read. The (1) means the first element of the range, which is wholly redundant; it already refers to a single-cell range.

Here's an interesting one:
A1 contains a text string which is both bold and unbold (
B1 is blank
I need a macro which scans the cells with text and copies the BOLD portions of the text string into the adjacent cell.
Example:
A1
The sky is blue
Macro is run
B1
sky blue

I have a long list beginning either with 4 numbers or 4 numbers followed by parentheses and a single number between them. I have this formula to extract the data between parentheses:
Code:
=MID(A7,FIND("(",A7)+1,SUM(FIND({"(",")"},A7)*{-1,1})-1)
What can I do to eliminate a "#VALUE!" result for cells that do not contain parentheses?

I'm having a 6000+ records, (contacts DB) exported in Excel 2003 format from MS Outlook.
Except the "First" and "LastName", all other contact elements are in the field "Notes" (which is the BZ column according to the exported outlook layout) multiplied by 6469 (records in total)
Useful information are included !!!
I'll give an example of a record...
Column: BZ, Row: 543 says --> "2110000000-6989000000, 1TOK_TER:17-11-010(25 DAYS LESS),
KATERINA 25 (MANTAS KALNNNNN_HYPERTENSION)1000-150, W:95_105, , HR THE 16wks_US NEFRON OK,
NT OK_B EPIP OK(GOLF BALL)_KAMPILI ORIAKI(DIAITA)_DOPPLER OK, O+,TEST OK(TOX_), , , , , , "
Now, I want every time to take the part of the text says "TER:something..." (part of which is date, but not every time with the known format dd-mm-yyyy, as you see here is yyy, followed by something else, with parenthesis here and maybe more data) and copy it in a new cell..., e.g:CO Column, same Row...
Above and every field which by the way is formatted as General (and it is text mainly) are made by merging older excel fields where data laid here and there, that's why you see the commas...with the method of a module with the following code:
Function MyMerge(Rng As Range)
For Each Cell In Rng
Temp = Temp & Cell.Value & ", "
Next Cell
Temp = Mid(Temp, 1, Len(Temp) - 2)
MyMerge = Temp
End Function
Note1:Records with the above string (TER:dd-mm-yyy) are 771 from 6469.
Note2: As an alternative solution I can see an extraction of the TER:dd-mm-yyy string and the copy in a new place, like the:CO Column, same Row...

I have a list of text quotes in column A. I then have column B which will have a Y entered if the quote is used in a presentation. I currently have around 100 quotes.
On a separate sheet, I want to be able to effectively say in one cell - If column B has text in it, copy the quote from column A. But the difficult part is how do I make this happen so that I can have multiple quotes being pulled into one cell?

I have been able to format single cells to display negative percents (Budget to Actual hours), but I cannot copy the formatting to cells with positive percents without eliminating the format style I want. [I need to display, with the parenthesis, (13.6%)for negative results, but say, 18.6% for positive results.] When I copy the correctly formatted cell (13.6%) to another cell with a positive result, it sets the display to general formating.
As I have over 25 rows of data to compare against 62 projects and 12 programs, with each value potentially changing from one analysis to the other, I am looking for a method to automatically change the "look" of the results. I have looked at conditional formatting, but have had no indication this will do what I am looking for.

I've been playing around with GoalSeek in VBA because of this thread and found something about the syntax that I don't understand.
If I want to find out whether GoalSeek worked, I can use
Ok = Range("B1").GoalSeek(Goal:=10, ChangingCell:=Range("A1"))
Debug.Print Ok
This requires parentheses around the GoalSeek arguments.
If I just want to do the GoalSeek, then I need
Range("B1").GoalSeek Goal:=10, ChangingCell:=Range("A1")
with no parentheses. Why? The Help says that GoalSeek returns True if it works, and the proforma syntax includes parentheses, but then the only example uses the syntax without parentheses.

I tried to use the find and replace function to delete different numbers from different cells (all in one column) but the problem is that I want to delete different kind of numbers.
Let me give you an example:
Starting point:
Cell A1: Bookrunner: Barclays Capital(368.726m)
Cell A2: Bookrunner: DBS(368m)
Cell A3: Mandated Arranger: Commonwealth Bank of Australia (Singapore)(367.163m)
Cell A4: Mandated Arranger: DnB NOR ASA (Singapore)(367.163m)
I want to reach here:
Cell A1: Bookrunner: Barclays
Cell A2: Bookrunner: DBS
Cell A3: Mandated Arranger: Commonwealth Bank of Australia (Singapore)
Cell A4: Mandated Arranger: DnB NOR ASA (Singapore)
(I don’t want the information in “()” like “(Singapore)” to be deleted! Only the “()” which contains numbers)
I used the “find and replace” function to delete ever single number, but I think it’s a little unprofessional to do so!

I'm trying to nest if statements that also include "and" and "isblank" factors. The following formula isn't working, and I'm not sure if it's because of my use of isblank or lack/placement of parentheses.

I have the following code in another workbook that is used to populate a cell on the same sheet based on input to cells in column 'A'.
Is it possible to modify this for the attached workbook to select a cell with data (numbers) on the Input Data sheet in column 'E', add text to the beginning, ('CG' in this case), and paste the result to the Import Template in the corresponding cell of column 'A'? I currently have a formula copied to dozens of cells in 'A' but since the number of rows for the Input Template is variable, there are usually cells in 'A' that contain CG but no corresponding data in the rest of the row.

I'm trying to copy data from one excel sheet to another excel sheet. However, the data to be copied is dependent on the 'client name'.
To explain this further, in the first list I have a detailed report on our clients and the services provided to every employee of that company/client.
However, the sheet two only needs the names of the employees that belong to a specific client.
This can be done manually by setting a fliter on the name of the client/company, but I need to be automated. To ensure only that specific company/client company's employee name is copied.

I have an Excel problem which I have been trying to solve for a while but so far I have had no luck.
I need a VBA script that can copy only text that has a font color of red from a cell. The cell has both black and red text. I then need to copy the result into an adjacent cell.
An Example (A1):-
This is an example of a cells content.
It has both red and black text.
I want the macro to search through column A and copy only the text in each cell that is red.
The result in (B1) will be:-

I'm basically trying to copy the text and formatting (colour fill) from a single cell into all cells I select. So far I managed to get the auto fill to work but the text only copys to the first cell I select of the selection.
Here's the macro I have:
Sub Macro7()
'
' Macro7 Macro
'
' Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+f
'
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "1 Completed"
With Selection.Interior
.Pattern = xlSolid
.PatternColorIndex = xlAutomatic
.Color = 5287936
.TintAndShade = 0
.PatternTintAndShade = 0
End With
End Sub
