I need a formula that counts the number of cells in a range that only contains one character. Example, column A contains:
Hello
Goodbye
A
B
Hello
Goodbye
In the above, I want the result to be 2. I've tried =countif(a1:a6,len=1) but that doesn't work.
I need to count how many times I've got, for instance, "a" in several cells where I typed some text...
I would need a formula where I can indicate the letter I want and the range of cells where to look at, and having as result how many occurances there are...
If you are very good instead of a single letter, maybe a sequence of letters... but this is an extra!
have to deal with a text database into Excel but ended up finding irregular format that need to be fixed. As it can be seen within the text right below, there are space delimiters in between the words. I want to replace always the 2nd space from right to left with a semicolon.

I am trying to do is put an asterisk at the beginning and the end of the Information in a cell for the entire column. Is there a way to make a macro that, once I highlight a column, it will put an asterisk at the beginning and end of the information in each cell in that column until a blank cell is reached where the macro will then stop? This will save me a lot of work. It will work for me if a particular column has to be defined in the macro, but would be better if it is one I can just highlight.
This would also work fine for me if I just had to highlight the cells that I want to use as well. Sorry if this seems to be a stupid question, but I am a very novice excel user
I would like to enter an X or O into a square cell so that it completely fills the cell.
I want to eliminate the space between the text character and the cell border.
The character does not necessarily have to be text so long as it can be automatically entered into the cell by a macro and can also be deleted by a sub routine to refresh the worksheet for new data.
I created autoshapes for a cross and a circle but I have no idea how to substitute these for the text characters in the worksheet or delete them afterwards.
When I try to add the Richtextbox control, I get this error: "The control could not be created because it is not properly licensed." Since I'm in a corporate setting, I don't think I can get around this (since I don't have access to the computer's registry and several users will be using it). I have figured out a way to present the user with some rich text controls (Bold, Italics, Underline, Font, Color, etc), which will add special characters around the selected text which then is interpreted by a procedure and formats the text in the output destination (HTML document).
However, that tends to clutter up the textbox and makes it somewhat cumbersome for some users to edit the text. I'd prefer to have them see the formatted text in the textbox, if possible. So, is there a way to get some sort of Rich Text Box without the RichTextBox control? It's long shot, I know.
There is a method to use ROW(1:10) within an array formula to strip a string into individual elements e.g.
HELLO > {"H","E","L","L","O"}
I cannot find it anywhere, thought it was something like =MID(A1,ROW(1:10),1) but not yielding results.
I have two excel sheets exported from two sources of information. Both sheets contain 1 column which is the primary data, ie, there is no duplicate of that information. Each information in these column represent 1 device in the real world.
Now, for example:
In one sheet, I have: SDV0620B
In the other sheet, I have: SSDV-B0620B
Please note that, both data actually represent the same device. What I now need to make sure is that, I ccan identify each corresponding data from the two sheets.
So, here is the problem that I am facing, identifying two data which are same but has two different representation techniques. (since the data are from two different sources)
I came up with the idea that, if I can check the sequence of characters with one column to another, then I might be able to pull it off.
For example,
we take SDV0620B, and match the sequence of character with SSDV-B0620B.
therefore, first is S (from SDV0620B)
match with SSDV-B0620B
then, D
match SSDV-B0620B
then V
match SSDV-B0620B
and so on, until the end.
And if the 1st sequence is found in the second sequnce of characters, then it is called a match! Hope I have explained it clearly. I have provided a file with some of the data copy and pasted out, to give you an idea of what the values look like.
Following the tips doesn't allow to remove a character.
I exported email addresses from Outlook and they have the following character ' in front of the email address.
Using Excel 2007.. it says :"check if your search formatting and criteria are defined correctly. If you are sure that matching data exists in this workbook, it may be on a protected worksheet. Excel cannot replace data on a protected worksheet"
So I made a new file, and copied and pasted the cells into the new spreadsheet.. same message.
I'm creating an excel spreadsheet that will be sent out to a few users to enter data into. In this spreadsheet, multiple columns contain drop down lists created using the Data Validation tool. The lists are referencing named ranges on a second worksheet.
In these drop down lists are terms that consists of one or two words. What I'm trying to do is when a user goes to select an option from the drop down list, I want the matching one letter code to be entered into the cell instead. For example,
Column AK has drop down list with following options:
Good
Moderate
Poor
When a user selects one of the options, I want one the following respective letter to appear instead......
i have a device that produce its data as following:
NTFLog_D2013-02-12_T104016.csv
I need to divide the single column to 7 column as separated by semicolon ";"
I have a row of cells that contain a single letter: W,C,O.
I need to provide a count of the number of occurancies of each letter. So I have a cell that shows me the total W's, a cell showing me total C's and another showing total O's.
Whats easiest way to do this?
I know its not ideal, but on this occassion ive no desire to add and hide another column.
if a cell contains "usable characters". By usable characters i mean i want something to check if a cell contains a number or letter.
cell = AAAAA formula returns true
cell = A123 formula = true
cell = 123 formula = true
cell = ----- formula = false
I'm trying to use logic to identify trends...in each of the strings below, I want to count the occurrences of the left most character appearing consecutively. The answer is to the left
I'm trying to do this via a formula vs. vba if possible

I have a string of text in cell A2. In cell B2 of my spreadsheet is a formula that calculates a number based on the text string in cell A2.
I want to write a VBA loop that removes a single character from the cell A2 string, then calculate the new value in cell B2. I want this loop to continue until the value in B2 falls below a set value (in this case 60).
My code so far
Sub trim_text()
Dim mytext As String
Dim myanswer As Integer
mytext = Range("A2")
myanswer = Range("B2")
Do While myanswer > 60
mytext = (Right(mytext, Len(mytext) - 1))
Loop
End Sub
This obviously does not work. In my excel table I have a formula in cell B2 to calculate "myanswer" will this work, or does that code have to be placed into the VBA code?
Need a formula/code that will determine what the corrected part number should be (insert dashes if they are missing) by comparing to other values in the list.
Original A1:A5 = {452, a-bc, 123, 4-52, abc}
Corrected C1:C5 = {4-52, a-bc, 123, 4-52, a-bc}
I can do this using an intermediate working column, but can this be done all in one formula, or via VBA?
My formulaic solution is thus: .....
I have a column A with names (let's say that we have four names: A, B, C, D) and a column B with dates.
I need a formula to count how many times appears a name in a column, for every single day (because in a single day a name may appear more than once).
Is this possible with a formula or I need to think at VB?
count occurence of name Vijay in single cell b4. excel formula.
Vijay is good, Vijay lives in Delhi. My another friend with same name Vijay….. Vijay joined exl in 2008. Vijay has one sister named Vijaya.
Can I modify this forumla to total for the whole month rather than just a single date:
Here is the formula:
=COUNTIF(INDEX(D:D,10):INDEX(D:D,500),A4)
So if A4 is "01/04/09" I would like to count for the whole of April, not just the 01/04/09.
I am trying to count the number of commas in each line of my Excel file. So I first decided to count the total number of rows and then count the number of commas in each row. I wrote this code. But I keep getting an error saying Next without for.

I am trying to come up with a simple formula to count a single cell if it contains either a 2 or 3.
The cell can contain numbers ranging from 0-8.
Even better would be if I could some how evaluate single cells based on the contents and then count the number of cells where the criteria for contents is true. The problem is the criteria differs from cell to cell (i.e. D2 could = 2 or 3, but E2 needs to be counted only if it contains a 4 or 5).
I know COUNTIFS only evaluate a range but it would be perfect if I could somehow get it to work for single cells. COUNTIFS(D2,2,D2,3,E2,3,E2,4,F2,2)
I have a spreadsheet which has a column that contains route numbers (for collection of goods). Some addresses have 2 or 3 route numbers within the same cell i.e.
3
3 20
3 20 15
I would like to know the formula for counting the number of cells that contain each route number i.e. from above 3 = 3, 20 = 2, 15 = 1
I couldn't figure out how to change this function to allow for weekends.
Function to count consecutive dates as one occasion

I have a source data tab laid out like this:
QC Date.......Policy#......Associate.......Pass/Fail......1stError.....2ndError.....3rdError
QC'ers can enter up to 3 different error types committed on a single failed policy, thus the reason for 3 error fields, even though all 3 fields offer the same value list selections (ie ErrorTypeA, ErrorTypeB, ErrorTypeC......). A policy, whether it has one error or three errors assigned, should only count as a single fail against the associate.
My problem comes into play when attempting to pivot the data. I would ideally like to see the pivot table in this format:
(filter)Associate
(filter)QC Date
...
ErrorTypeA.......Count
ErrorTypeB.......Count
ErrorTypeC.......Count
ErrorTypeD.......Count
Where the "count" is the total number of occurances of that error type across all three error fields - 1stError, 2ndError, 3rdError.
But since 1st/2nd/3rd error fields are different columns, I am unable to do a single count.
My pivot ends up looking something like this:
1stError.....ErrorTypeA.......Count
1stError.....ErrorTypeB.......Count
1stError.....ErrorTypeC.......Count
1stError.....ErrorTypeD.......Count
Then repeated for the 2ndError and 3rdError fields.
I need to count the unique items in a range that don't contain the string "option". I would like not to use VBA for that but I can't make it work with a simple formula.
For now, I have :
[Code] ......
That doesn't count the cell with the content "option" and count correctly the other unique items. However I need to ignore any cell that contains the string "option" (with wildcards).
formula that will return the number of "x"s or "o"s within the same cell.
The cell has values that are formatted in multiple ways for example: PXX--XXP, --XO, OXX--.
I want the formula to return 4 if the cells has PXX--XXP or 3 if the cells has --OXX etc.
I need to count the number of values entered into a single cell seperated by commas for record keepin purposes. I would prefer not to use a macro since I am not an expert, but will if i must. Here is an example of what i am talking about:
User A will enter "109,108,107,106" into a cell in Column A
At the bottom of column A the Total will read 4.
Now User B enters "110,111,112,113" into the next cell in Column A
At the bottom of column A the Total will read 8.
What formula should I use to search for cells which have a certain single letter or digit.
Ex. Those with the letter O
2007-FHYO-45 YES
2006-FHY-45 NO
2007-FYY-38 NO
2007-FYY-21 NO
2007-FGHO-81 YES
Is there any method to speed up a for each loop to count text in a cell with multiple criterias in a single column. This is on example:
Code:
For each rr in r
If rr = "a" And rr.Font.Strikethrough = False Or rr = "B" _
And rr.Font.Strikethrough = False Then
a = a + 1
end if
next
I've got a worksheet from a contact details with some empty cells in it, since not everyone has fax number or POBOX, therefore that particular cell is left empty.
Is there any way to replace or put a "-" dash character or whatever into that empty cell so that the exported CSV file is not left with too many trailing commas ?
I'm looking forward for the reply.
[this CSV is to be use by Exchange Server 2007 Powershell script to import Mail-Contact from a CSV file, that's why not all of the contact entity has the parameter defined]
