I have a worksheet (SHEET1) where users would enter their ID Number and then they would hit a Submit button. The submit button would then add that ID Number into another worksheet (SHEET2) in a running list of ID Numbers. But before it is submitted, I would like to check for two things:
1. ID Number must be 9 characters long (numbers and/or letters)
2. ID Number must not already exist in SHEET2
If condition 1 is not met, then just have a message box asking user to check their entry and try again.
If condition 2 is not met, then just have a message box saying "thanks" but no addition will be made to SHEET2
One has numbers the other has "YES" or is blank. I want a formula to look at the second column and where there is a "Yes" then count the number in the same row in the first column.
I'm trying to count the number of characters (including spaces) in a cell - is there a formula for this?? =CELL I thought would do it but doesn't
PS What I'm actually trying to do is return the Surname in a cell containing a full name. I can get the first name easy enough with =left(A1,Find(" ",A1)-1 (I take no credit for that...) but can't get the surname - I thought I might be able to use =right but can't.
Count the numbers of the characters in a cell. The number of characters must be appear in another cell. This number must be refresh when you type the key, not when you push enter.
I have a cell in excel that has 5 lines of text and I would like to count how many characters there are in each line of the cell. Is there a formula/macro to count them?
Ive written the macro below to sort Column A according to the length of the cell values in Ascending order. Ive done this by writing the length to Column B for each value and then sorting on column B. Surely there is a more elegant method, perhaps using arrays.
Sub SortIt() Range("A1").Select Do Until IsEmpty(ActiveCell) ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Value = Len(ActiveCell) ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select Loop Columns("A:B").Sort Key1:=Range("B1"), Order1:=xlAscending End Sub

I want to create a table that lists the number of entries for each cell in column a and then lists the entry next to it. Can I use a pivot table or something?
There are three questions in Comment boxes in the file. The bottom line is that the final item name in column F can only be 50 characters long including spaces. As I am entering the information in columns B,C & D it would be great to be able to see the numbers of spaces I have left to enter characters in column H without having to hit "Return" and leave the cell.
The first question may need a Macro so excuse me that it is included in the Formula section.
I have a column of 1000 random R and B characters in A1:A1000
I would like to count how many series of single, double, triple, quad, 5's, 6's, 7's, 8's there are of any single character. i.e. RRRBRBBRBRBBBBRRR...etc (imagine this transposed down in a column (A1:A1000)
Now the outcome below would show something similar as in the above example
Series For R Count
1: 3
2: 0
[Code] .........
Series For B Count
1: 2
2: 1
[Code] ....
Could this be accomplished using a formula or code?
I am trying to count the characters in a string in one cell. For example, I want to count the number of "-"'s in the cell. The version number of part numbers is always the last two characters if the value contains at least one "-". However the parts have a non standard number of characters.
444444 = 0 444-44 = 1 44-44-44 = 2
There can be 0,1 or 2 "-" in the string. I can use the substitute formula to get the root part number, but I was wondering if there is an easier way. The raw data is from our ERP system, so I multiply the value by 1 to get a number if there are no "-" for the vlookup in another formula to work....
Gotta short question: How can you get the number of characters in a cell? for example I got the word HELLO (5 characters). is there any method which could be applied on the contense of a cell to return the number of characters in the cell?
I am using the macro below to count the number of specific character in a cell. The only problem it only counts one cell. How do I modify to display multiple cell counts if more than one cell is selected?
This is a conditional formatting problem I have not been able to resolve:
I have a range, say A1:N30
Each cell contains a text/number combination.
I would like to highlight each cell on a specific row if the vale exists within the row above - the issue is that the cell values are not in the same columns.
I have attached a sample workbook with the desired output.
I'm trying to make a macro. I'm experienced with Excel (took a college course on it) but am really new to VBA and making my own macros.
I need a macro that will take the item number in cell E4, and highlight the row (specifically columns B through R) where that unique item number is found (they're located in row B).
I have two different sheets. I need Cell E3 on sheet #2 to reference the value of sheet#1 Cell B6, but only if the 3 cells in front of sheet 1 B6 are true.
So, on sheet#2 E3 should only reference the value of sheet#1 B6 only if the words exist on sheet#1
B3 = First Aid, B4=Hospital and B5=date anytime in january
If the data entered in Column "I" starting from row4, exists in range "X4:X12" then "Pend for audit" should appear in Column "R" of the corresponding row.
below is the coding Iam using.
Code:
Private Sub Workbook_SheetChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range) Dim StateName As String Dim CName As String Set Cells_Changed = Target(1, 1)
Workbook has the possiblities of 366 tabs at the bottom, but for a normal calendar year will only have 26.
The tab name is the ending date of the pay period without the year. So for Feb 25, 2007 the tab would be named 0225
On a yearly calculations page I am simply trying to say IF TAB 0225 exists then cell equals '0225'!A2 otherwise the cell should be blank.
I tried this, but gets a reference failure instead of putting nothing...
=IF('0102'!A2=0,"",'0102'!A2)
In this example the possible tab name would be 0102. If the tab exists, everything works fine, but since in this case it doesn't, I get a reference failure. #REF!
I NEED the result to be empty if the tab doesn't exist.
Any idea would be helpful. I'd rather not have 366 tabs when only 26 are needed for any calendar year.
I'm trying to do a formula without using a marco. The formula would do the following:
- Highlight value in column A if the value is found in column B and on the same line value in column F and I are equal to zero; - Value in column A could match many value in column B
I tried everything I know but can't seems to make it work.
I am trying to make a spreadsheet for bank reconiliation. I found this formula, =if( countif($B1:$B$1000,D1),D1)=0,D1,"") but there are two open parathese and three close. What needs to be corrected?
Let me see if I can make this succinct and clear. Cell AQ2 (where the formula below resides) looks at the value in cell E2. It then references table $K$3:$U:$100 on sheet "LookupTables" to get the value to display. It does this (and works great) with the formula below:
I would like to add one more argument. I would also like it to reference cell U3 in the LookupTables sheet and if there is anything in that cell to go ahead and complete the formula, but if there's no value in that cell, it should return no text and be blank
i have two columns in my worksheet A and B. Now col. A contains of words and column B contains of long strings. I want to make those parts of col. B which match to the content of A.
Im trying to write a formula that will check if a name that I have in column A also appears in column B and if it does I want it to return a value for example TRUE in column C.
I'm currently doing a survey and I have all employees in column A (600persons) and then column B I enter thos that have taken the survey. So If an employees name exist in column B he/she has done the survey and then they I get the value "TRUE" or "1" or something else. So in this way I can easily see who has and who hasn't done the survey. I've been trying with VLOOK and so on but I can not get it right? Maybe I need VBA?
