I have entered text as I would like in the formula bar. However not all of the text is displayed in the cell. I have sized the cell so it should definitely dispaly all text. Word wrap is on But the text displayed in the cell is truncated
Also the spreadsheet was originally in 2007 format, I converted to 2003. I also tried copying all text from the formula bar, pasted to notepad, deleted from Excel, copied from Notepad, pasted back to the formula bar. Still not all text is displayed. In a helper cell I dropped in =len(xx) where xx is the reference. Returned 1357
I pasted in 1369 characters (including spaces) to a cell, and NO MATTER what I try, all characters will not print.
If I have the cell up for formatting on the function line, all text can be seen, but for some reason it cuts off the last sentance or more and will not show it in print preview.
I've tried all kinds of cell text formatting, cell merging, etc. with no luck. The only work around I found is to just have the "missing text" on the following row.
I want to accept a string, well typically a name say "Manik" from one of the cells in Excel say "B2"; then split it as characters M a n i k and display it in five other cells like say from D2:D6. how can I do it? Also the name may change its not a fixed string.
I cant seem to get an excel file that I have received from a Greek collegue to display Greek Characters properly.
Some of the lines in the file with Greek appear to be correct and have not been turned into gibberish.
In addition the cell properties of both the correctly displayed cell and the gibberish cell are exactly the same and in the cell format sample the gibberish is displayed as Greek Characters.
Ive tried formatting the corrupted cells with the uncorrupted cells format but that doesnt seem to have any effect.
I have a exel file which has been exported from Access to exel. There are many cells which shows the data as in Cell A1 with the Linefeed character in between data in a cell. Is there any way (may be using a macro) where I can remove the character and get it to display as B1 in the same cell(A1). The file is attached herewith.
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?
Is there an Excel formula to remove the spacebar + characters in red, as shown below? I need to be left with only the last name, first name and the semicolon.

Microsoft Outlook has changed the way that email addresses from the global addressbook copy and paste (from version 2003 to version 2010).
Using Excel 2007. I have a limit of 80 characters and spaces in a particular cell and I need to force those characters/spaces over 80 to the next cell. Is that possible?
I have an index of 80,000 names from an index. Some names appear in multiple volumes and on multiple pages within a volume. While the name is the same, they are different people. The Roman numeral is the volume and the numeric is the page number.
Example of original data: Joe Shmoe V-225, 310 VIII-22, 86, 110
I have separated the data into separate columns. Now I have:
Col 1 Col 2 Col 3 Col 4 Col 5 Col 6 Joe Shmoe V-225 310 VIII-22 86 110
At this point, I want to combine the Roman numeral in Col 2 with Col 3 and 4 and combine the Roman numeral in Col 4 with Col 5 and 6.
There are way too many records for me to manually enter the Roman numeral where missing.
When I try to enter 18 numeric characters in a single cell, the last three characters are converted to zeros. I can find no format that would allow me to see all 18 entered characters. Is there a way of doing this?
I have a spreadsheet which I use to enter notes related to particular invoice numbers. A v-lookup pulls the notes into another tab. What I'm running into is that the notes can be quite lengthy - in excess of 1,000 characters. When the notes get too long, they don't all appear in a single cell (unless it's extremely wide).
I'm wondering if there may be a way to maintain my notes in a word doc instead? Maybe in a table that pulls in using a v-lookup? But I'm not able to figure out how to direct a v-lookup to a word doc.
As you can see, in D5, I have the charactor chain SRG-DC01-RA-xxxxxxx, and in D6 I have the charactor chain SRG-DC43-RA-xxxxx.
With the formula that I have entered, I would have thought that E5 would have generated "Lawnton". I don't want the formula to pick up the SRG, the RA, or the number, just the DCXX component.
This is what I have now: =IF(OR(ISNUMBER(SEARCH({"DC43","DC01"},D5))),"Erskine Park","Lawnton")
which has not changed a thing from: =IF(OR(ISNUMBER(SEARCH({"DC43"},D5))),"Erskine Park")
Cell E1 having 150 characters (letters), I want to trim first 45 characters in cell E1 and place it in cell B2 and remaining characters in cell E1 (ie. from 46th character till end) and place it in cell A3.
In one of my columns I need to count the characters (alpha/numeric AND blank spaces) in each cell. (Any that are over 300, I will need to manually reduce to under 300.) How can I do this? Basically I would simply like to know which cells exceed 300 characters.
I am not sure whether this can be done with a function/formula or with VBA, hence posting this query in general. A neat formula however would be the best solution, coz the number of entries varies, in the workbook attached I have 14 different cases though. I need to know when a cell does not repeat any of the possible 7 letters, in each given cell. If there is repetition then leave the cell blank , if all four of the letters are different then place "NR" in the cell.
See the attached file. I regularly receive input files which I have to reformat and upload to a website as a .csv. The website does not like the / between the characters on the Input Data tab. Is there a way to automatically search and remove them and leave the rest of the characters intact? The columns do not always appear in the same order and there could be more or less columns. On the Import Template tab, columns A-I will always be there, so ideally the code should make the changes from the Input Data tab and copy the present columns (J thru whatever) header and data over to the Import Template tab starting in 'J1'. I think that VBA would be the best way to go due to the variable nature of the columns.
Not the most exciting data, but I need to identify which cells contain the sub string "HWA". Ideally the next column would have that string extracted into it or some kind of indentifier
We are in the middle of a system conversion and I need to make sure our data is not over the length of the maximum character count for certain fields in the new system. Is there any function in Excel that counts the # of characters in a cell or will highlight the cells that contain larger than a certain # of characters?
I need a VBA code to find the number of characters in each cell and display the result in next column.
For Ex: ColA: HI who There
output should be
ColA,ColB HI,2 who,3 there,5
I have shown example for 3 rows only but there are chances like it contains more than 3 rows(Dynamic rows).I tried by creating Range variable but I couldn't succeeded.
Is there a way I can lock a set of cell to only allow 30 characters or less and if so if they copy and paste they can go over 30 characters in a cell. I can not allow they to go over 30 characters.
