Delete Characters More/and Less Than
Feb 19, 2007
I have a keyword list in ColA. about 25,000 phrases.
What I want to do is create a macro button.
when i click on it a pop up box would appear called "Deleting Characters"
It will have to 2 rows, 1 saying "More Than",, the other saying "Less Than"
So, beside these words are input boxes.
So I can type the numbers "2" and say "50"
So it will look at all the rows of data in my ColA (Always from A3 downwards)
and deletes all rows with less than 2 characters and more than 50 characters.
When it is finished a floating box appears saying
"123 Characters Less Than 2 Deleted"
"101 Characters More Than 50 Deleted"
Sub NoOfCharacters()
Dim lastrow As Long, TotP, TotC, AvC
lastrow = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
If lastrow < 4 Then
MsgBox "Nothing to sort!"
Exit Sub
End If
Range("B1").EntireColumn.ClearContents
Range("B3").Formula = "=LEN(A3)"
Range("B3").AutoFill Destination:=Range("B3:B" & lastrow)
Range("A3:B" & lastrow).Sort key1:=Range("B3"), order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlGuess
TotP = lastrow - 2
TotC = Application.Sum(Range("B3:B" & lastrow))
AvC = TotC / TotP
MsgBox "Total No Phrases: " & Chr(9) & Chr(9) & Chr(9) & TotP & Chr(13) & "Total No Characters: " & Chr(9) & Chr(9) & TotC & Chr(13) & "Avg No Characters Per Phrase: " & Chr(9) & AvC
End Sub

"Is there some VBA code which could delete all first, second or third
characters of a text? Could it be done to the three last characters
from this same text and these be displayed on reverse order?"
Example:
AAAASAHDASK
AAASAHDASK
AASAHDASK
ASAHDASK
SADHASAAAA
ADHASAAAA
DHASAAAA

I am trying to write a macro that will go through each cell in a column with the following format "| 12- 4" or "| 60-11" and will remove the first to character "| ".
There numbers are lengths, the first being feet the second inches. I would like to achieve in a separate column the numerical length (with decimals) multiplied by 1%. My code is as follows I just need help on the conversion.
Sub newLength()
Dim LR, lrow As Integer
Dim feet, inches, Line As Double
LR = Range("B65536").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Row
For lrow = LR To 2 Step -1
If Cells(lrow, "D") <> Cells(lrow - 1, "D") Then
Rows(lrow).Insert Shift:=xlDown
End If
feet = Left(Cells(lrow, "E").Value, 4)
inches = Right(Cells(lrow, "E").Value, 2) / 12 'I need to debug this line, but I suspect there is more I need to do.
Cells(lrow, "F") = feet + inches
Next lrow
End Sub

Sub rightval()
Dim myrange, mycell As Range
Set myrange = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1", Range("A65536").End(xlUp))
For Each mycell In myrange
If Right(mycell.Value, 1) = "." Then
mycell.Value = Left(mycell.Value, Len(mycell.Value) - 3)
End If
Next mycell
End Sub
I'd like to delete the last three values of one cell only if it contains a period.

I need a formula which can clean up a huge data set. Essentially i need to delete the entire word which contains the characters "aceae". note that "aceae" is a suffix, but i need to delete the entire word not just the suffix, plus keep the rest of the string. i have tried the "find and replace" function of excel with wildcard, but that deletes everything before/after without deleting the entire word. i have tried a combination of formulas to isolate the unwanted words, but that method is inefficient and inaccurate. below is a schematic of what im looking to do:
Column A ------------------------------ Column B
l. planeri asteraceae africa laselva-----> l. planeri africa laselva
l. planeri moraceae europe singer------> l. planeri europe singer
origin l. fluviatilis bignoniaceae asia----> origin l. fluviatilis asia
alternate l. fluviatilis piperaceae asia---> alternate l. fluviatilis asia

I have a spreadsheet that i manually edit each and everyday e.g.
A B C
EABGL/UD NDT254892
MRMR/RUS/ELQNS259762
LSL/UW/B LQNS267259
WWEX/UQ bbr263666
LWL/KL/B 270407
MYTCJ/UB NDT271774
LNL/SB/UB HLC - 271955
SMMQD/WT HLC - 269516
EACO/TN/UGBBR257827
NILVA/UC EUi273645
For everything that doesnt equal EM, LN, LW and TH in column A, everything should be deleted in column B.
For the remaining EM, LN, LW and TH, i would then like it to delete / (forward slash and all characters after this) so that this would make my life easier.

I have one column with many numbers. Some have one dash and some have two.
Example:
123-123456-65
012-789546-1
98B12354-889
Is there a way that I can remove all characters after the last – (dash) in the number?
Example:
If number is 123-123456-65
Then 123-123456
If number is 98B12354-889
Then 98B12354
If someone could just lead me in a direction, I might be able to figure it out. However, my code is elementary and most of the time, I record macros and the play with the code until it does what I want.

I am trying to detete rows that have several specific values, upper and lower case, (A-H) in any of several columns (B through H). I can delete upper and lower case "D"s in column B, but I'm having difficulty stringing together several variations and getting at the "D"s that are midstream (such as: ADeC), I tried ("*D*") to no avail.
With . Cells(Lrow, "B")
If Not IsError(.Value) Then
'****
If LCase(.Value) = LCase("D") Then .EntireRow.Delete

Currently I am using the Kickbutt VBA Find Function of Aaron, but I would like to have something that works more efficiently. What I currently do is (assuming all possible values for Column J are A - F):
Find_Range("A", Columns("J"), MatchCase:=True).EntireRow.Delete
Find_Range("B", Columns("J"), MatchCase:=True).EntireRow.Delete
Find_Range("C", Columns("J"), MatchCase:=True).EntireRow.Delete
Find_Range("D", Columns("J"), MatchCase:=True).EntireRow.Delete
Find_Range("E", Columns("J"), MatchCase:=True).EntireRow.Delete
although I just want some code that says: delete all rows except those that have "F" as content in Column J. I already tried something like:
Range("1:65536").Select
For Each cl In Range("J:J")
If cl.Text = "A" Or cl.Text = "B" Or cl.Text = "C" Or cl.Text = "D" Or cl.Text = "E" Then
Rows(cl.Row).Delete
End If
Next
but it also takes much to long. The major problem I think, is that the number of records is variable so I search the entire worksheet...

I'm trying to use conditional formatting to highlight cells in a column that have less than 8 characters.
I know the LAN function, but I don't know how to make it work for the conditional formatting.

So we have people's names in a table. First name in one column and last name in another column. We have a 3rd column where we can use 8 characters to do a combination of First 5 of Last Name + first 3 of first name. However, if someone's last name is only 3 or 4 characters, we'd then want to take more from the first name to fill out the 8 characters.
So:
Charles Johnson -> Johnscha
John Smith -> Smithjoh
Willian Wu -> Wuwillia
What's the best way to do that without creating some crazy formula with tons of if/thens?

I would like a macro to find the columns named "apple" and "peach" and delete them. These would always be in row 1 but would always be in different column letters which is why I want the macro to simply find these columns by their name and not by their column letter.
And yes, I do mean the entire column altogether, shifting entire columns to the left. Wipe it off the face of the earth

I have an formula if statement that returns "deletethisrow" if the test is true.
For every occurence of "deletethisrow" I want to delete the row. The number instances will be variable each time I run the file. So maybe it will find that string, maybe it will find 10 instances. I want to do some kind of loop that won't error out when it cannot find "deletethisrow", but will delete the rows for each instance where it does find this string.
I know it was verbose, but if I just do a loop for a fixed number of loops it will error out if it runs out of rows to delete.

Is there a limit on the number of rows and columns that can be deleted in a macro on Excel 2003? I am trying to create a macro that, amoung other things, delets 1119 rows and 54 columns. If I delete the columns first, the rows will not delete. If I delete the columns first, the rows will not delete.

I found this sample code that works from top to bottom of a spreadsheet. But I need something that will delete the first entry and keep the last entry. My data is sent from one spreadsheet to a Master and sometimes the details can be sent twice, if the responsible person forgets to enter one line of production. The criteria should be the first 5 Columns of the sheet.

Ok so my formula simply wants to substitute a really long string of text with a blank cell. Problem is that the really long string of text goes over the 255 char limit for a formula.
How can I go about solving this problem. I think you could name the string of text as a variable such as "long text" and then use the substitute formula as such:
=SUBSTITUTE(A1,"long text", "")
Something like that? I don't know if it would work or the steps to name the variable.

I'm trying to make a chart viewer on the first sheet of my spreadsheet and am using this website as a guideline, [URL] However instead of the 3 charts in the example, I have 12 which makes my formula for defining a name substantially longer.
By moving my charts to the same sheet and getting rid of the INDIRECT formulas, I shortened my formula to 291 characters which is too long as the limit is 255.
=IF($G$9="Sodium",$N$34,IF($G$9="Manganese",$N$35,IF($G$9="Iron",$N$36,IF($G$9="Nitrate Nitrite",$N$37,IF($G$9="Nitrite",$N$38,IF($G$9="Nitrate",$N$39,IF($G$9="PH",$N$40,
IF($G$9="Conductivity",$N$41,IF($G$9="Turbidity",$N$42,IF($G$9="Fluoride",$N$43,IF($G$9="Selenium",$N$44,$N$45)))))))))))
Is there any way to make my formula shorter? Or to reference a cell where I place the formula?
