I am trying to get spaces in text from several cells
A5 GH B1 YO E3 AF < I linked these cells with the & =A5&GH&B1 and it comes out like this GHYOAF
I would like it to come out like this : (either with or without the / or underscore in leu of a space)
Additioinally if I use the CONCATATE function it just showes the cells like this A5B1E3 ? Dont understand why its not showing the data rather the cell names & Numbers ?
I am using a vlookup formula to link 3 pieces of data together. I would like to insert a space between the 3 pieces. Currently formula result is:
item1item2item3
I would like it to view as:
item1 item2 item3
not sure how to alter the formula to create the space....
in creating a macro that will remove all frontspaces, trailing spaces from entire sheet + remove characters like (), *,-, &, @,/,',;,. from columns E and F,
in col E and F there should either be string or numbers, everything else should be removed.
I have rows with "numbers" like 1 250,30 and 1 350,50, but they aren't in number format (I guess this is the problem). I am trying to get rid of the extra space between the "numbers" but the substitute or trim function does not work for me. I also tried to divide and multiply the numbers but it does not work.
I want to get the extra space of and to the number format.
I have a large spreadsheet that I need to take the spaces out within the text in each cell. Is there an excel function or macro that can do this? It would save me lots of time rather then having to go in manually and doing it!
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to use the SUBSTITUTE function to remove spaces from my cells in column A. The trouble is My formula is removing all the spaces from the cell. My formula is: SUBSTITUTE(A1," ","")
I do however have many cells that contain a space between characters 5 and 7 and spaces at the end of the cell which have been padded out to 15 characters long.Its only the spaces at the end of the cells I need to remove.
I have a formula that is dependent upon a column of cells containing text. Cells within this column randomly have an additional space (" ") following the words. With this invisible space, the formula doesn't work as intended.
Since I have an extremely long list of names, is there a way to easily remove additional spaces after words without manually going through each cell and deleting them?
I want to add blank spaces to a cell with text
My cells have up to 14 spaces
If a cell as 1 or 2 characters -I want to add 6 spaces in front of text.
If a cell as 3 or 4 characters-I want to add 5 spaces in front of text.
If a cell as 5 or 6 characters-I want to add 4 spaces in front of text.
If a cell as 7 or 8 characters-I want to add 3 spaces in front of text.
If a cell as 9 or 10 characters-I want to add 2 spaces in front of text.
If a cell as 11 or 12 characters-I want to add 1 spaces in front of text.
Please refer to attached file.
Column A have data and i need VB Code (Not formula) to check each cell in column A and delete any spaces and make sure that there is no spaces after end of the text.
As an example you can see Cell cell A15 thru A22 have spaces after the text so need to delete those spaces

I need to take 12ABC1234512345 and turn it into 12A BC 12345 12345 with a vba macro. I've made a formula that works but in this situation a macro would be more ideal.
View 5 Replies View RelatedHow can I enter a number of space in the text file and yhis number is existing in other cell.
Example:
=CONCATENATE(G4," ",I4," ",J4," ",K4," ",L4," ")
the number of spaces is given in other cells.
First space is F1 = 4
Second space is F2 = 8
and so on
I am looking for this for some time. Is there any formula (not vba) to count that how many occurances of spaces are in a text string, spaces could be more than one between the words.
I need help looking at text in a cell that has [] around it such as [big red trucks] and copy that text to the end of the cell and replace the "space' between the words and add '+' signs so the result looks like [big red trucks] [big+red+trucks].
example:
This is what the cell looks like before
[big red trucks] cost 5000 in store
This is what the cell needs to look like after
[big red trucks] cost 5000 in store[big+reg+trucks]
there may be additional text after the ']', I need the phrase with the + signs copied to the end of the cell
I've got a single column worksheet with a varying numbers of characters in each row.
At the end of each row's cell value I must add a 5 char string. Preceding that string I must have enough spaces to make the total length of each row 106 characters.
I've already:Defined and populated the string. Let's call it "strMyString".Established how many rows are in the sheet and stored it in "lngUsedRange"Written the following which cycles through each row establishing how many spaces need to be added:
Dim lngSpacesNeeded As Long
For i = 1 To lngUsedRange
lngSpacesNeeded = 101 - Len(Range("A" & i))
Next i
Now I just need to know what else to put before "Next i" to locate the end of the existing text in the cell and add the number of spaces in "lngSpacesNeeded" then add "strMyString".
Initially I'm simply copying a data table from a web page using "Ctrl + A" then "Ctrl + C", and then pasting the data straight onto a new worksheet so I can work with it. (After temporarily re-naming the old sheet)
But I keep finding what looks like double-spaces after some of the important text within the Range of cells I'm working with. I need to be able to select & conditional format the values of the text in some columns of the sheet, so need to loose these trailing spaces.
Unfortunately, it's not consistence as to how many spaces trail the text I need. Sometimes it's only one space, sometimes its two spaces ?
So far, I've had mixed success with a recorded "Replace" code but none of the other codes I have found on forum pages either don't work all or seem to give any consistent results. E;g; TRIM, CLEAN
I suspect my problem is, I do not know how to call the code properly, or trying to work with too large a range ?
The start of my code reads:
Code:
Sheets("Data").Select
Sheets("Data").Name = "Old Data"
Sheets.Add After:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)
Sheets(Sheets.Count).Select
ActiveSheet.Name = "Data"
[Code]...
' At the moment I'm using to select the pasted range I want to work on: Range(Range("C46"), Range("C46").SpecialCells(xlLastCell)).Select
This is where I need a code to work on the new Data sheet and remove all the trailing characters.

I'm outputting some cells to a CSV. At first I tried using the SaveAs function but that renamed my worksheet and didn't work for ranges (as far as I know)
Sub Export()
'Set myADPFile = "C:ADPPCPWADPDATAPRSHWEPI.CSV"
Dim myADPFile As String
myADPFile = "C:PRSHWEPI.CSV"
Dim x As Byte
x = 5
Open myADPFile For Output As 1
While (Not (Sheet3.Range("A" & x).Value = NA))
Print #1, Trim(Sheet3.Range("B" & x).Value), ",", _
Trim(Sheet3.Range("C" & x).Value), ",", _
Sheet3.Range("D" & x).Value, ",", _ ..........................
The values are correct. However, the excess amount of spaces is not. Using the Write function just encases everything in quotation marks. Replacing spaces isn't a good solution because the first row MUST be in that format, and removing all spaces would require more code to put spaces back in. Is there a way to get rid of all the excess spaces surrounding each value?
is there a formula which can locate instances of same text even though due to spaces it may look different? for example, "bad apple" and "badapple" are essentially the same.

Ok, I have a situation that I would love to have some help with. I have a command button that when clicked takes the user through a few questions via input boxes. The final objective that I need help with is a large typing area. Either the input box typing area needs to be larger or I need a text box to appear. After user is done typing and presses ok, I need what they typed to go into an area where I have merged some cells/rows to make a paragraph.
View 6 Replies View Relatedeach row in sheet1 contains variables that, when applied to cells in sheet2, calculate a final figure. I have written code that selects each row, distributes its variables in sheet2, and shows the result back in sheet1, then selects the next row, and so on until all rows have been calculated.
The calculation is complex, and I would like to create a text file that stores the calculation for each row in the same text file. The calculation is a 9 columns by 33 rows, and I would like to preserve this shape in the text file, though its OK not to have columns not lining up.
There is a similar problem on an old thread but this requires only one iteration of "open file, write values, close file". I need "open file, write values, write more value, close file".

View 3 Replies View RelatedWhat I need it for is an automated report that should be used for several different projects. Each projekt have events on different dates, and I only want the report to show a specific date if there is some text (i.e. event) on that date. As it is now, it's a looong report with several blanks with only a date showing. So it should insert a row (the tricky part) + the date + the text if condition is met, and do nothing if they are not. The script should add and remove rows and text depending on what project the information is taken from.
The data it should grab is in this form (many more data inputs though..):
Date Date Date
TEXT
And the report:
Date:
Date: TEXT
Date:
and should be like:
Date: TEXT
