I recently saw Krishnakumar use the formula.
= sumproduct(--(a2:a10=d2),--(b2:b10=e2),c2:c10)
I haven't seen sumproduct used this way. Very cool. I see how it is working, but can anyone tell me more about the syntax of the dash dash used in array 1 and array 2? I have never seen this. How is it different than =SUMPRODUCT(1*(A1:A9=G1),1*(B1:B9=H1),C1:C9), which is the syntax I'm used to seeing.
I have come across this only a couple times and have tried in vain to find out what the "--" does in formulas
one example I have run accross in the forums is below
= SUMPRODUCT(--(ISNUMBER( FIND("SMS",A1))))
Also, is there a good refrence source for formulas like this?
I work in the Oil and Gas industry and deal with large data tables that have "Location Codes" for lack of a better term.
The problem is that not all Databases use exactly the same format of code, they will however always have the following:
xx-xx-xx-xx ---> ie. a string of four numbers each seperated by a Dash.
This string sometimes will appear after a text name of varying length. With this in mind I would like to parse the four numbers into four different columns.
Things I've tried with some success:
Using the "Right" function to break off the location code off the end of the entire name, and then using the ".parse" command in VB to seperate the numbers at given intervals.
This is great for certain purposes however because the four numbers are not always 2 digits, and the ".parse" command cuts at given intervals it is hard to accurately parse an entire set of data.
Some examples of location Codes are given below:
9-23-78-11
WEST DOE 11-16-81-15
KNOPCIK 3-9-73-9

What formula can i use
I have a spreadsheet that shows a dash in some blank cells and I can't get rid of it. Cells are formatted as general, there's no event code, no conditional formatting, no data validation, no auto-formatting, no nothing. I can copy a cell from outside the range with no dash in it and paste it into one of the cells with the dash and the dash remains. I can't figure it out.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a column of data that may or may not have a formula in them. The cells are formatted in Accounting, w/o the leading $ sign. (i.e. 133.57) The value zero shows up as a hyphen or dash.
The issue is the format of the cell. In that attached worksheet, i inserted two formulas in cell b6 and b7. Both formulas are exactly the same, but the formatting is different. One is in the accounting format, but the other is in general. When I run the code, only the general formatted cell gets found.
My real worksheet is in the accounting formatted code, so I don't want to change my worksheet's numbers into a general format. How I can find the zero value thats in an accounting format?
Below is a strip down version of the code.
VB:
Sub test()[COLOR=#333333]
[/COLOR] Dim rLookInADR As Range
Dim foundcell As Range
Set rLookInADR = Range("b1:b380")
Set foundcell = rLookInADR.Find(what:=0, LookIn:=xlValues, lookat:=xlWhole)
MsgBox (foundcell.Row)
End Sub

All the numbers in red need to be cleared. No I have been able to find the original number and clear it. For example I can have the program find 53254 and clear it, but I am really having a tough time having it find -1, -2, -3 and so on. If the program finds a -1, I need any dashes after that to be cleared. If the program doesn't find a -1, then it goes to -2. If it finds a -2 then any number after that needs to be cleared. Here is the code I have to clear some of the numbers.
I know this works because I have seen it in a workbook at a client's office.
I need a custon number format to substiture an "em" dash for zero. An em dash is a hyphen with the width a the letter m. There is also the so called en dash tht is the width the the letter n. A search of the internet shows that to create an em dash in a cell that contains a 0 ("zero"), hold down the alt key and type 0151 on the numeric keypad. Typing 0150 insert a en dash.
I want to be able to set this up as a custom number format in the custom number dialog.
I have some rows that have some text for example "0- 56933 tex". the numbers are not always the same, but there is a dash, and sometimes there is no space after the dash. I want get the numbers before the dash in a variable and the one after in another variable.

I need to remove the dashes. I find and replace all - with nothing. that has worked for YEARS. Seems simple to me.
Today, when I do it, Excel leaves the "300" and removes everything else. I even did a CLEAN function and it still does it.
How to remove a "-" out of first two letters of a sentence. if there is a "-"
for example:
BEFORE: Red-Blue Shirt With Ribbon
AFTER: Red Blue Shirt With Ribbon
However, if there is not a "-" in the first two letters then it not change anything.
For example --nothing changes:
BEFORE: Red Blue Shirt With Ribbon
AFTER: Red Blue Shirt With Ribbon

I want to know how many emails are in my list. There is dash sign where the emal id is not available. The subtotal formula gives me the total entries in range but I want to know only email count numbers.
In my range there are 6 entries and only 4 email ids. Now I'm getting output 6 but I want it 4 ignoring 2 dash signs.

I need find consecutive Numbers in a singles Cell but each numbers have a leading zero and "-" (Dash)
My problem is that the UDF that i found on this forum, is for numbers with out leading zero with comma ",",
So even if change the "," by "-", still getting a error Because the Code is designed to Read numbers Formats different than mine..
My Numbers are located in Cell G12 (down), and the message that i need to show in the cell result is :

0 Consecutives --> 0
2 Consecutives --> 2
3 consecutives --> 3
4 consecutives --> 4

I'm trying to make a formula but are failing. This is the data:
Cells:
a1= ant-gel
a2= ant - gel
a3 = size 1 - 6
a4 = size 1-6
a5 = book - 5
a6 = book-5
a7 = good book
I want a formula that displays "True" if cell contains a "-" symbol AND the dash symbol is surround on both sides by a number (a space can go between dash and number)
I want the results to go in column B
For example, if a1 contains a dash and dashes are surrounded on both sides by a number, then "TRUE", otherwise "FALSE.
therefore:
b1 = FALSE
b2 = FALSE
b3 = TRUE
b4 = TRUE
b5 = FALSE
b6 = FALSE
b7 = FALSE

I have a large spreadsheet with text, numbers and blank cells. Is there a code a can use to make all blank cell have a dash (-) without affecting the other cell with data.
I have a list of items in Column A and size info on Column B i want to being in the info to another sheet with a vlookup but the problem is that I have a lot of items with different colors so after the item no. it has a dash and a letter or two for the color so i want to bring into my new sheet all info.
I have in my old sheet for all items regardless of color so for instance in my old sheet i will BR1000-EM and then in my new sheet i will have BR1000-R and BR1000-SA and BR1000-YC how do i make a vlookup it should only lookup the values in both sheets only till the dash (i cant use a certain no. like left,6 because the item no can have more then 6 but it always has a dash when it has a color code) also not all items have dashes so the dash is not always there but when its there i would like that the lookup should stop by the dash.
The 3 vlookup will be in a single cell for concatenation like :
=vlookup1&"-"&vlookup2&"-"&vlookup3
Problem the are 3 vlookups where it will return names (with format -> Fname, Given Name Middle) and probably blank returns.
I have problem with the replace since there are also spaces between the Fname,Gname and Mname sample name with spaces.
I am using a lot of linked reports that have to be rewritten each month. For example smaller formulas look like this:
=('S:PUBLICProductionJob CardsMOLDING201311 November[440A SIDE SPOILER JOB CARD.xls]Production Parts'!B$228*2)+'S:PUBLICProductionJob CardsMOLDING201311 November[440A SIDE SPOILER JOB CARD.xls]Production Parts'!B$262+'S:PUBLICProductionJob CardsMOLDING201311 November[440A SIDE SPOILER JOB CARD.xls]Production Parts'!B$292
What I want to do is extract the file path from the above formula and make it a composite of several cell references.
So what I need is to have a cell where they can change the month and another where we can change the year. So I set up several named cells that look like this:
_MONTH =11 November
_YEAR =2013
_JOBCARD ='S:PUBLICProductionJob CardsMOLDING
_PATH =_JOBCARD & _YEAR &"" &_MONTH
I tried several versions, I am hoping for something like this:
=('_PATH &"[440A SIDE SPOILER JOB CARD.xls]"Production Parts'!B$228*2)+'_PATH &"[440A SIDE SPOILER JOB CARD.xls]"Production Parts'!B$262+'_PATH &"[440A SIDE SPOILER JOB CARD.xls]"Production Parts'!B$292
I've found a few macros that will automate changing cell references from absolute to relative and they work great. However, when I run the macros on formulas that have references to another worksheet or workbook, the macro will not work correctly.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to automate creating certain keyword combinations I need, based off of the values I input into reference cells in columns A - E; the goal is to compile a list of keywords which I will then use to track my rankings in search engines.
I'm looking to only output 500 keywords, so some of the cells in columns A, B, C & E will not contain data (column D will always have a primary Geo-target listed). This results in some of the concatenate formulas I've created outputting partial data (i.e. if there is no data in cell A10, and cell D2 contains the word "Knoxville", then cell I10 will output the data, "Knoxville "). How can I setup conditioning formatting or a formula so that these auto-generated cells appear blank if one of the reference cells has no data within it?The reason why I need the above to work is because I want to setup a formula that automatically counts the # of keyword combinations created by the data entered into any of the reference cells. With the partial combinations being listed, it skews my data. Which leads me to my next question: what is the best formula for counting the # of cells containing a full keyword combination from any of the cells listed in columns G - O (minus the data in the header cells; i.e. G1, H1, etc...)?Lastly, is there a formula I could use that would then aggregate all of the full keyword combinations within the "Complete Keyword List" column (column P)?
