Counting BlackCircle Unicode Symbols
Feb 18, 2009I use dot symbols in one column of my spreadsheet to call attention to a particular row. I am currently using ASCII(decimal) Char 149 and I count the column of dots with the following formula: =COUNTIF(A1:A20,CHAR(149))
This works fine, however, ASCII(decimal) Char 149 is a very small dot which is hard to see. I have found a much larger dot which is identified as BlackCircle Unicode(hex) 25CF. From an appearance standpoint the BlackCircle is much larger and much easier to see, however, I have been unable to construct a formula which will count the dots. How do I identify BlackCircle Unicode(hex) 25CF in order to count the character using the formula listed below: =COUNTIF(A165:A184,CHAR(25CF))
Lotus 123 Had A Function: Show Plus Symbols(+) Or Negative Symbols (-) For The Value Of The Data
Aug 1, 2009Lotus 123 had a function where you could graphically, in a cell, show plus symbols(+) or negative symbols (-) for the value of the data. For example if you had a column of numbers that you calculated from the previous year that indicate the change, Lotus, in the next cell would allow you to graphically display the symbols that indicate the strength of the change. So if your result was a positive ten then ten plus symbols would be shown. If it was -20 then 20 negative symbols would be shown. Now the numbers I am looking at could be 600,00 and I believe there was a way to to proportion the symbols for example for every 100,000 put in one symbol so the result would be 6 (+) signs.

Dec 2, 2009I've been searching the forums and web trying to figure out how to extract a text value from a 3D array result, to no avail or well beyond my understanding.
I've attached a file which shows an abbreviated version of the search (from the original 49 col x 400 row, which shows the name to date array which can return a sum.
What I'm looking to do is identify within this array result if there has been a text entry, and return the text as opposed to a sum of the remaining values. This is essentially a double check to make certain that there aren't hours scheduled when other events such as vac/loa/etc are also booked.
Remove Just Text From Cells That Contain Mixed Text
Jul 12, 2002I have a column in which the cells contain values such as "012321 BGH YRK". Is there any way you know of that I can remove just the text from every cell and keep the numeric values? A mass operation because there are literally hundreds of these cells. I am using Excel 2001.

View 9 Replies View RelatedSorting Mixed Text And Numbers?
Jun 17, 2014A column holds numbers and numbers with suffixes. The conventional sort function pushes the text values to the bottom. I need them sorted along with the numbers.
Microsoft's KB says to add a column formatted as text and then to RETYPE ALL OF THE VALUES! Splendid. But my file has hundreds of records. Re-typing all of them would be a major pain. On the other hand, if I had started typing while trying to find a way to sort the darn thing I might be done by now.
Here's what I know so far: If we create a column, format it as text and then populate with 1, 2, 3, 4, 1a, 2a, 3a, 4a, etc. it will sort exactly correct (1, 1a, 2, 2a...) after selecting the "sort numbers and numbers stored as text separately" when the Sort Warning appears. If you try to create the sample I typed here, you need to be careful that the area is formatted as text BEFORE entering the text. You apparently cannot change the format of an existing column of data to Text or if you do it does not have the desired effect when sorting. It might be useful to know if this can be done too. MS suggests not.
Replace All Symbols With Text
May 8, 2013I am importing content control information in a word file into excel by using a macro in excel. The information is coming across nicely but when the information about a checkbox comes across, in excel, that's what you see, a checkbox (☐ or ☒). Is there any way (formula or vba) to replace all the checkboxes with a yes or a no?
I wrote a formula that works:
Code:
=IF(G8="☒","YeS","nO")
But this will add this information to a new column and I would like to replace the information in the existing column (the form has about 200 checkboxes) and I don't want to add a bunch of new columns.
I also toyed with VBA:
Code:
Range("G1:G100").Replace "&", "No"
But when I try to paste the ☐ in the vba code, I get a "?" so I am assuming it doesn't recognize the ☐ as a valid character.
IF Text In A Cell Is UPPER Case Or Mixed
Jan 28, 2014I'm trying to formulate:
If it's mixed case, copy it. If it's all lower case or ALL CAPS, then make it PROPER.
i.e., if 'bananas' is in A1 and B2 says =PROPER(A2), then B2 says Bananas, because PROPER capitalises the first letter of each word.

Data Validation For Mixed Numeric And Text With Formula Only?
Feb 22, 2012Is it possible to validate a string with both numbers and text with a formula using data validation? (I don't want to use a User Defined Function)
in Column C, Starting in cell C2 I have a 12 character string of six numbers, four letters, and two numbers. like this:
280838ZNOV11
is it possible to use a Custom Data Validation formula to ensure the user follows this format?
Pull Out Text Between 2 Symbols In A String Within A Cell
Feb 2, 2009I have a column of cells that contain a long string of characters....I need to pull out text from this string and put it in subsequent columns. The symbol I am concerned with is >> For example.
If this string is in the first cell in column A:
>>abcd>>defgh>>ijkl
I would want a formula to return abcd in column b, defgh in column C, and ijkl in column d. >>this is a test>>make it work. in this example I would want "this is a test" returned in column B, and "make it work" ruturned in column C
SUMIF Using Greater/Less Than Symbols In Text Criteria
Oct 21, 2008I'm trying to get a simple Sumif formula to work. I have used this formula a hundred times before but this time the results are inaccurate. I suspect that it may be because of the math symbols which are used in the criteria text i.e. < and >
My formula is as follows: =SUMIF('Raw Data Export'!D:D,"< No Project >",'Raw Data Export'!G:G)
A data extract from the sheet named "Raw Data Export" is attached.
Excel 2010 :: Removing Text From Mixed Font Size Cells
Aug 4, 2012I have text of size 14 and 18 mixed in cells in a column. Cells are font size 18 or mixed with both 14 and 18 size text. I need to sort out the text with one column of size 14 and another of 18 only. I am thinking of copying and pasting the column twice and run a macro in first column to remove the text of size 14, and another macro to delete text of size 18 in second column. I need the leftover text to be in same rows.
I tried everywhere and couldn't find a macro for mixed text cells. I am using Microsoft Excel 2010.

Counting Text In A Column If
Dec 17, 2007Im trying to find out a way of counting the contents of, say: column C where that contains text as long as column B = a variable
Basically column C contains the words Sale and Lead and i need a function that reads column B for examples of a user defined variable (1-4) and counts sale or lead in column C if this condition is satisfied.
like a sumif but capable of adding text (two cases of in this example but not really vital as the only things in column C would be sale, lead or left blank)?
Counting Text From A List Only Once.
Dec 10, 2008I am currently using a pivot table to display data. At the moment, as you can see from the spreadsheet I have something that shows land use, suites and costs. how to calculate a total cost - but only counting each suite once.
I would like to do similar thing for the bottles required, this is based on information from background! I am hoping get something just like the way costs are generate, by only counting each bottle once.

Counting Text From Different Columns?
Sep 10, 2013How can I count all the cell text from different columns?
I have a sheet..that has the well known columns from A to EM, but let's say A to Z (A,B,C,etc).
I want to count all the cells that have text inside from columns: A,C,E,G,I (so, from 2 to 2). But the counting to be for all these A,C,E,G,I, etc columns, and to be put in a cell which gives this total number as info for user.

Counting Unique Text
Nov 19, 2007I picked up a great formula from this website to count unique values =SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(K19:K205,K19:K205)>0,1)) and it works great. Thank you to whoever sent it (sorry, forgot who)
I am trying to find a formula to do the same for text.
Counting Text WITHIN Cells
Mar 3, 2009I have a long list of cells each one containing a list of attributes similar to the following:
MBLB
MB9A
MCDA
MCDB
MCDC
MCDG
MCD7
MCD8
MCD9
MCE+
MCE0
MCE9
MCVO
MCVS
MEW5
ME2V
MLRP
Bear in mind that the above is in 1 cell and in-between each attribute is an - Alt Enter
Now I want to know how many cells a certain attribute is contained in e.g. "MCE+". I can do this on a one by one basis using the "Contains" Filter. However I would like to have the FULL list of my attributes and know how many times each one is mentioned.

Countif - Counting Too Much (text Values)
Aug 6, 2009I noticed that when I use countif to count cells with certain text value it works but up to some point when it returns way too much then (when there are generally more values matching I think). I don't know what is the cause ..formatting? some function limit ?
View 3 Replies View RelatedCounting Consecutive Text Strings

Apples
Apples
Apples
Apples
NA
NA

So the output that I am after will be counting the number of Apples in a row 4 & 3 but skipping NA.
Counting Text Characters Within A Cell
Aug 8, 2007This should be simple, but I am struggling with finding a way to use the search or find function to identify text characters. This is my situation, I have for example a cell that contains FW023 or D1234. I need to be able to count the number of characters that are text.
i would think I would be able to do it with the search or find function, but can't figure out how to get it to just count the number of text characters with in it.
Counting Multiple Text Conditions
Nov 7, 2008I am working on a spreadsheet that contains multiple text conditions that I need to keep count of. I would like to try the countif but I don't know if this will work. Here's a summary of my spreadsheet

Column D contains an open or closed option that is not validated.
In my totals section of the spread sheet I need to count each region that meets the "closed" criteria.
Counting Instances Of Text In A Range
Jan 13, 2014I am trying to count the instances of a certain text in a range across 2 columns.
so lets say I have the word Dog in A1, A2, A3, A4 & B1, B2, B3, B4. I am look for the number beside each cell to say 1, 2, 3, 4 instead of summing the whole range.
I have tried the array formula of {=SUM(IF(C:D=C2,1,0))}. However this does just bring back the sum of the instances and I am clueles on how to get it to show the first instance, the second etc.
Counting Occurrences Of Text String
Dec 11, 2006I have a spreadsheet which consists of Sheet 1 and Sheet 2.

In Sheet 2 I have a table showing January through to December in a column and the different country names across the top in one row.
I want the Table in Sheet 2 to count how many times England (for example) occurs in Column I and to indicate that as a numeric value.
Counting Text Values From Two Columns
Apr 22, 2005I have an Excel document that I want to count the number of rows that meet a text value in two columns.
Column B has a value of either "Open" or "Closed".
Column C has a value of either "High", "Med", or "Low".
I want to count the number of rows that are "Open" "High", "Open" "Med", and "Open" "Low".
I've been studying a number of different formulas, but I can't seem to get my head wrapped around this functionality.
