Copying Part Of A Title (after A '-') To Another Cell
Mar 13, 2009
I have a lot of titles like "A Company - Strategy A", "A Company - Strategy B" and what I am hoping to do is strip out the part after the hyphen to the cell directly above. This is the case across about 200 columns, I'd imagine this is pretty easy?
How to copy part of a cell to a new cell when there are no spaces or specific features to use in the formula. My cell contains a data and time as such: 2013-10-22T14:05:34Z
My hope is to keep the data 2013-10-22 in one column and transfer the 14:05:34 to a new column...if the 'T' and 'Z'
I have just generated a report of current customer numbers for our company. Unfortunately it reports it as "162 (162)". No idea why the program does it like that because it now makes using VLOOKUP very difficult.
What I want to do is copy the "162" part of the cell and paste it into the adjacent cell to make it easier to manipulate the worksheet. All of the customer numbers are in column D if that makes a difference.
I have a spreadsheet serving as a simple document register. Column A is a unique document reference number, which is a simple concatenation of some text which prefixes all of the document numbers, plus the date in "yyymmdd" format (from column B) and a 3-digit sequence number (from column C).
Column B has no formula - my macro just pastes a timestamp in there.
Column C is a sequence number field which has a formula comparing the "yyymmdd" part of the timestamp with the cell directly above it. If they are different then the sequence number becomes "001" - if they are the same then the sequence number is incremented by 1, so all docs created on the same day have an incremental sequence number.
Here's the problem. When I want to add a new document I need to copy the last row down to the next row (in preparation for the next document to be created by my system) and there are two ways I've been doing this - one which works and one which doesn't.
This works > Say my last row (with the hidden formulae) is row 13. I select A13:C13 plus the three blank cells directly below (A14:C14) and do a Ctrl+D to copy them down. All is well.
But the following doesn't work - why? > I select the entire row 13, copy it, then reinsert it at row 13 so the formulae in row 13 get shifted down to row 14. What goes wrong here is that my formula in column C which WAS comparing the date in B13 to the one in B12 NOW compares B13 to B11
I've attached an example spreadsheet to try and demonstrate the problem. Sheet 1 is the original sheet. Sheet 2 is the "copying down" method which works, and Sheet 3 shows what happens when you copy the entire row 13 and "Insert copied cells".
If I want to change only A7 to A8, A9, A10 without changing the other parts of the formula, how do I do that. I need to copy this formula in about 300 rows.
I am trying to work out a method which will allow me to drag the forumula which is in cell B13 from B13:B17, and have in increase the date serial number by one for each row by which it descends.
In other words I want to drag the formula down to, say B14, and have it increase the date serial to = that which is in cell A14.
[the obvious benefit of being able to do this is that I don't have to manually adjust the date serial in each cell on each new row]
I am creating many graphs. I have already split my data so I can use CurrentRegion.I want each graph to have a different title using the text value of a cell which would be (6 * j - 5, 2) inside the For/To, but I can't get it to work no matter how much I tinker.This is the code as is without any of my attempts inside to clutter it up.
VB: Dim p As Long p = Sheets("ForWeb").UsedRange.Rows.Count For j = 1 To (p - 1) / 4 ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddChart.Select ActiveChart.ChartType = xlLine ActiveChart.SetSourceData Source:=Cells(6 * j - 5, 5).CurrentRegion ActiveChart.Parent.Cut Cells(6 * j - 5, 1).Select ActiveSheet.Paste Next

this is just an small sample of what i am working on i have got purchases, cogs and ending invenory for 2 years Products wise i want to add purchases for the particular product. i.e. if for above data i want to find out the foundation purchased through june 2014 to aug 2014 what will be the formula
I have a very simple template which plots out means and standard errors of a treatment structure. The input is from an analysis of variance so I want to have the significance levels dispalayed in the title. This is simple for a single col of data but when there are more then one it doesn't use a cell to populate the chart title.
From the sheet I've attched the first and second chart have dynamic titles, if you change cell F10 from 0.364 to 0.001 the title on the second chart will change to "Input (**)" as it uses M19 for the title. The problem is that for the 3rd chart titled "CV*TR (NS)" any change has to be done manually (change cell F15 to 0.04 and this changes cell J43 to "CV*TR (*)".
Why the heck every time I enter in to the "edit text" area of the chart title box in a chart in Excel 2010 and type "=B27" (without the quotation marks, and understanding the contents of "B27" has the text I wish to display) does this idiot thing simply display "=B27" (again, without the quotation marks)???
However, I am trying to use the same macro on several different tabs in the same EXCEL worksheet. Obviously, I can't have the tab name in the macro. But, I don't get a title at all when I try to remove it like this...
ActiveChart.ChartTitle.Select Selection.Caption = "=R2C1" or ActiveChart.ChartTitle.Select Selection.Caption = "=A2"
Is this possible? I am (kinda new at) using EXCEL2010.
I am building an interactive sheet to profile a number of divisions based on a summary sheet of about 1200 rows and 90 columns of profiling criteria
I have attached an example but essentially:
1. I would like to be able to select from a list a value which would also be a named range title 2. Have the range information transposed into a row
What works: 1. I can transpose the range information when I use the following formula I used OFFSET(Governance,COLUMN()-MIN(COLUMN(HGovernance)),0)
The problem: I cant get it to use a cell reference (i.e. When I select Governance out of a Drop down list of Finance, HR, Governance etc). Having to type in "Governance" to bring back governance range information is fine, but not great when I am trying to profile the Finance or HR division as it then becomes too manual.
so this gives a part number depending on what number is placed in O6. What I need to do know is look at 2 different cells and for each combination of numbers give a different part number. so if A1 is 2 and B1 is 3 give a certain result.
Is there any way to remove the first part of a string of text in a cell and save the second part?
The first part of the text string is a team code that has a variable number of numbers, capital letters and sometimes spaces. The second part of the text string is a variable number of words in a team name that all start with a capital letter and have lower case letters. Every line has a different team code and team name.
The original spreadsheet also has a column with just team code. Is there a way of using this column to "subtract" the team code from the text string to just leave the team name?
I have a sheet where i have many differently named areas (like state1_1 and state1_2) When I doubleclick on a cell then a macro should run with following criteria: 1) Macro will run if the doubleclicked cell is part of any range in the list. Here I mean that names of ranges which belong to that list start with word state (like state1_1 and state1_2). No other ranges should not be in that list. If the cell is not in the range that is part of the list, then nothing should happen.
I have a spreadsheet with 2 worksheets. On the first "active parts" I have a list of active part numbers and on the second "All Parts" I have all of the parts available.
I want to compare every part in the All Parts worksheet to see if the part number exists on the Active Parts sheet - if it's there, I would like it to return the value "Active" in column B in All Parts. I have a formula in column B in All Parts that seems to work for the first few, but as soon as it finds one that is active, the rest of the cells below all return "Active".
I have 2 basic parts to a Macro which need to be separated by a pause of 1 second, before proceeding to the next part of the macro. Then pause for 1 second, and loop.
Application.Wait is no good to me as the spreadsheet must remain live, editable, and receiving updates from an external program linked via DDE. Below is the ...
i have a column of data part number part text e.g 7w1,8b1 in the next column i want to write a function that will look at the other and dependant on whats in it place a word e.g. for 8b1 i need it to look at the "b" and enter beauvale if theres no "b" but a "w" enter wollaton, i have tried an if function and used "*b*" but it doesnt seem to like wildcards ....
These cells contain a time reference either in '09:30 - 16:30' format or just an 'AM/PM' format.
What I need to do is to populate column B with the part of the string that comes AFTER the times in the text (either in hh:mm format or AM/PM format)
Example 336 Data 2012 Classroom Induction 2012/08/28 09:30 - 16:30 data about this ------> data about this 336 Information about this 2013/04/04 09:00 - 13:00 Information 2 ------> Information 2 336 info CHS Suffolk 2013/05/07 PM DRC, BSE ------> DRC, BSE 364 information 2013/02/12 AM DRC, BSE ------> DRC, BSE
I cannot get this to work and cannot use Text To column as there is no character I can use to split it.
In one cell I have multiple value:09/16/2013, 09/16/2013, 09/16/2013, 10/15/2013
I want to use the first read which is 08/22/2013. Not always i have multiple dates in my table.This is part of code that I am working on.What I usually do, to get the last value when I have multiple reads is:
I have select the cell C1, the multiple reads(dates) are in the cell B1, so i need the last read(10/15/2013) ;i use this code:
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=RIGHT(RC[-1],10)+1"
SO now I want use the same logic but i want to take the first read/date. Also here the cell from where I want to get the value is selected.
Above the multiple reads were in the cell B1 and cell C1 was selected before performing the code, now the code is in the cell B1 and B1 is also selected.
I tried to do ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=Left(RC[-1],10)" but I rich the value in the cell on left which is A1. I want this for tomorrow since I have something to present.
If I have some data in a cell (let's say D1) such as "m-3,s-2,xl-4", what formula can I use in say cell D2 so that if I find the characters "s-" in Cell D1, then it will return the value "2".
Similarly, in say in Cell D3, I would then want to use the same formula but modify it so that if the characters "xl-" are contained within Cell D1, the formula will return "4"
Just "upgraded" my Excel to the 2007 version. In the old Excel, I could superscript part of a cell by highlighting the part I want, then going to "Format" and "Superscript."
In Excel 2007, it doesn't work. Yes, I can highlight the part of the cell I want to superscript, I can right-click and select "format" and "Superscript", and it even then shows as superscripted in the cell. That is, until I hit enter or move to a new cell. Then the superscript is no longer there. The cell is in "general" number format.
By the way, it did work in another cell: mg/l3 (3 superscripted) works. 742 (2 superscripted) doesn't work.
Column B on the spredsheet gets the Part Description vaules, we copy and paste from Customers excel and unfortunatly some descriptions contain 3asteriks in a row (***) and I need to import this into Access later on and Access will not except asteriks. Find and replace doesnt seem to work like i hoped , it replaces everything in cell not just part of it . If someone has a Formula that will work that would be ok too, it does not have ot be VBA
