Display Text After A Common Starting Text?
Jan 23, 2013
I have a column of locations where all the locations start with 'SHIP TO - ' followed my the actual location which can be of varying lengths. How can I display everything after the 'SHIP TO - ' in an adjacent column. My instinct is to use a RIGHT Function, but I don't know how to get that to only display the variable length text after the 'SHIP TO - ', e.g. in another column I want this
SHIP TO - ABC COMPANY
SHIP TO - A VERY LONG LOCATION
SHIP TO - HERE
to show
ABC COMPANY
A VERY LONG LOCATION
HERE

I am trying to auto-populate text in cells in area A, based on data I enter into other cells in area B. I want the area A cells to be for display only, as all editing will be done in area B. The problem is: how do I do this such that the text I write does not get cut off if is longer than the column width? See the attached document for a clear example and description of what I am trying to do...

Using an external UNIX program that quieries a database, I export all the data found based on my query and export the report as a text file. THe text file can be up to 1 MB of raw text.
Selecting all text and pasting the data into collum 1 using PASTE SPECIAL -->(TEXT)
All Data is in Collum A
Each record returned has between 40-50 values each on a seperate row, only 10 of which I need.
I am looking for a way to find the rows that begin with the unwanted field, and then delete the entire row.
Otherwise ignore the row.
IE:
AUDFI : (data path loc here)
BILLNUM : 060606
CUTNUM : (0000)
SD : 120012
ED : 121259
CC : 123456789 MATERIAL LISTS AND ITEMS
COMMENT : Multiple lines of text here
with continuing free form data, numbers, operators,
then the next data file would repeat:
ADUFI : (data path loc here)
...
...
...
etc.,
In the above example, I want to delete the rows AUDFI, & CUTNUM and move the below items up to take the empty rows place. The BILL NUM, SD,ED, and COMMENT are filed that are always kept (as well as others). Each record has roughly the same data, each tailored to an event or object.
The number of rows of data dumped into excel can easily exceed 50000, about 200 - 1500 records in the report.
After wards, the data is dumped to a text file for easier analysis.
In BASIC my line might look like
5 START
10 if A:$="AUDFI :" then delete row, move below contents up.
20 if A:$="CUTNUM :" then delete row, move below contents up.
30 END
(I think there needs to be a loop since the vaules AUDFI and CUTNUM (as well as other unwanted fields can occurr 200 - 1500 times each.)

I'm not too sure if this will be really easy difficult or really difficult but I want to write some code that compares the value of two strings, and any characters that arent in string 2 will be return formatted in bold. For example, if String1 was "The Quick Brown Fox" and String2 was "The Quick Yellow Fox jumped over the lazy dog", String2 would then be returned as "The Quick Yellow Fox jumped over the lazy dog".

I've been racking my brains trying to find a way of doing this. I have a list (column A in Excel) of over 50,000 organisations and I'd like to know what the most common words used in the names are. Ideally it would great if I could produce a top 10 list of the most common words at the top e.g. Ltd, School or Church with a count in the next column of how times that word it appears

I would like to generate a dynamic list of the top five most common text responses in a range. For simplicity sake, let's assume that the range spans cells A1 to A20, and the list is generated in cells B1 to B5. So, essentially, I am seeking five separate formulas. One to calculate the most common text element, one to calculate the second most common text element, one to calculate the third most common text element and so forth.
I am currently working with the two formulas below but finding it incredibly difficult to merge them into a working format.
Formula for finding second most common number:
=MODE(IF(IF(A1:A20"",A1:A20)MODE(IF(A1:A20"",A1:A20)
),IF(A1:A20"",A1:A20),""))
Formula for finding most common text element:
=INDEX(A1:A20,MODE(IF(ISTEXT(A1:A20
),MATCH(A1:A20,A1:A20,0))))

Is there a way to display just the staring and ending labels in a line graph.
I have around multiple line items, each contiaining 15-20 data points.
When I instert line graph with data labels, it becomes very mesy.
So I want to display just the starting and ending number of each line graph.
Manually selecting the data point and adding labels is very time consuming as I have around 200 line graphs, each containing 7-8 data series.

I am trying to hide/display text by using form fields. I swiped the idea from a spreadsheet I obtained from a vendor and thought I would extend it to suit my purpose.
When I check the box for "table one", I'd like for the data that I have associated with it to display. When I uncheck the box, I would like for that data to be hidden. The goal is to be able to choose one data source and see at a glance which fields come from that source and what their names are. The formulas that currently exist for the cells in column I do a nice job of putting text in a field when the box is checked, but I don't want to have to rewrite the formula in the cell if/when the source of the data changes. It's a lot of long schema/table/field names. Maybe that's the only way, though...
I scrubbed and mocked up column J to try to demonstrate. It's sorta color coded.
And it might be that using form fields is not the best way to hide/display text based on source type.

irst Problem:
I need a little help with the same employee time sheet that I am working on in Excel 2007. I have a dropdown box in Cell E1 that lets the employee select their name. Example, if the choices in the drop down are: Smith, John Jones, Paul Nelson, Bob and Hall, Bill. So the names are Last Name, First Name. Once the employee chooses their name, I would like Cell G1 to display "Hello (E1). Welcome to AA Company." (where E1 is the employee's name but First Name Last Name - so it is reverse order of the choices in the dropdown). If E1 is left blank, I would like Cell G1 to display "Hello. Welcome to AA Company."
Second Problem:
How can I get rid of #VALUE! in a cell without messing up the formula of that cell or the cell it corresponds to??

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 have a workbook that has a main sheet which provides stats from other sheets within the workbook. I have a hyperlink which goes to a certain place of sheet 2 and the displayed text shows the contents of a cell on sheet 2.
I know it's possible to have the hyperlink go to a certain cell on another workbook as opposed to worksheet, but I cant display the contents of a cell on another workbook as the text on the hyperlink.

We are working on having the spreadsheet display the correct options, depending on what criteria are chosen. There are three choices in the first criteria and two choices in the second criteria. These choices are presented using data validation so they will always be formatted correctly. Worked on conditional formatting to display results but did not make much progress. Started working on "if" statements to display results, looks like this may not be efficient. Spent a lot of time reading, trying to find a solution.

I'm trying to avoid using merged cells or text wrapping with altered row height to display some text in multiple rows - similar to using centre across selection to have a header across multiple columns without merging. The guys that use the sheet type a comment that is relevant to five rows and the easy solution here would be to just type the first portion of the comment in the first row (about 30 characters will display in the column width available), then put the next 30 characters in the next row and so on but the guys keep getting lazy and merging the cells so they can type the comments more easily. I can lock the sheet or force validation but I think there's a better solution.
I can effectively "wrap" the text across the five rows the header is relevant to by using a formula to pick up everything except the first 30 characters of each cell. Ie if they type whatever they want in cell B16 then I can use this formula to break it in to 30 character lengths to "wrap" it in to the next four rows:
=IF(LEN(B17)>30,RIGHT(B17,(LEN(B17)-30)),""),
And I'm sure it would be easy enough to use search with the formula to break it where there is a space in the text so partial words don't flow over.
BUT because the text ends up slightly different widths I want to use formats to force only 30 characters to display (whilst keeping the remainder of the text string intact). I can't figure out the syntax to format only 30 text characters to display but you can easily do it with numbers and dates and so on.

Without using a copy/paste macro, is there a way to display the text and its formatting from another cell? Obviously, the usual formula "= A2" only brings the text from that cell. Example:
A3: un-am-big-u-ous
G4: = A3 (but I want the font formatting used here as well)

I am trying to nest a formula with IF & AND to work out a RAG status. I have 2 questions per row (in Columns I:J) which will be answered either Yes or No. For each combination I need to give a RAG status in Column K – e.g. two Yes replies give Green, 2 No replies give no and one No out of 2 will give Amber
Below is hoped for response in Column K:
ColI---Col--- JCol K
Q1----Q2----RAG
Yes---Yes---G
Yes---No----A
No----Yes---A
No----No----R
