I'm looking to create a macro that will take a input from extract master.xls workbook and search that contain in the transaction.xls workbook.
I need not want to search the entire row exactly, instead if the search string found any where in that row, that search string alone need to be removed from that row.
For example.
Search String (File : extract master.xls, Column : TAG) :- ....
I've created a worksheet with a number of dropdowns / data validations. Now the thing with these validations is the source range apparently has to be in the same sheet (well it can be another one but much simpler if in the same). I've just realized I created them in the wrong place, so need to erase them. Pressing the delete key isnt working though, they're still there. I could right-click delete but that then requires one to move cells up/right etc and that could mess with my formulas.

I've got the following problem, I'm trying to write some code that wil clear all cells down if i.e. cell E45 is empty.
So if cell E45 is empty the code should clear all formulas / text in de cells A46 ; M46 all the way to A100 ; M100.
I have 1800 rows of bibliographic entries that are I am cleaning up. The first column imported with some numbers and spaces that I don't want. Here is an example of the variation:
Abdalla, C.W.,

2 Abou-Ali, H and M. Belhaj,
I want all the rows to be like the first one, ie, no numbers and no spaces.

I have got a list of numeric abbreviations, for instance 10739011/21/31/41. What it should really display are the numbers 10739011, 10739021, 10739031 and 10739041 (the first six figures stay the same). All the numbers in my list are 8 figures long. I want to change the list from the list seperated by the backward slash to the complete numbers. I have uploaded an example of the list with backward slash between the numbers. Is there a way that Excel can automatically change these numbers to the full numbers?
Because all the numbers are 8 figures long, I thought the first 6 figures of the 1st number can be copied and those 6 figures pasted before the other two figures after the backslash. Auto Merged Post Until 24 Hrs Passes;sorry, pressed OK too quickly. The problem is that there are sometimes 4 numbers in the cell, sometimes 6 and once three. I would like Excel to complete all the numbers in the cell and then move on to the cell underneath it and so on. Also, I would like each number to have it's own cell.
I have a cell which will contain SER01+SER02+SER03

Need a formula/code that will determine what the corrected part number should be (insert dashes if they are missing) by comparing to other values in the list.
Original A1:A5 = {452, a-bc, 123, 4-52, abc}
Corrected C1:C5 = {4-52, a-bc, 123, 4-52, a-bc}
I can do this using an intermediate working column, but can this be done all in one formula, or via VBA?
My formulaic solution is thus: .....
I would like to create an If Then statement in which the condition is based on if a string is a simple text or a formula. Some of my cells contain a formula and some contain simple text...and I would like to cycle through all of them- only do something different to them based on what the cell contains.

A list of URL's in each row. Here's an example:
webmd.com/diet/rapid-weight-loss
webmd.com/food-recipes/features/10-everyday-super-foods?page=2
webmd.com/news/20000529/over-the-counter-drug-works-to-suppress-appetite

weightloss.about.com/od/easyweightlosstips/
weightloss.about.com/od/southbeachdiet/a/aa060705a.htm
weightloss.com.au/
Here's what I'd like to accomplish: For each row that contains a URL that ends with a / I would like to remove it. If I use the find/replace feature, it would remove all /'s, which I don't want since a good majority of the URL's contain the /'s in various parts of the URL, such as in the example above. I'd also like to accomplish adding a / to the end of every URL for a list that does not have the /'s at the end.
I'm adding some necessary code to the beginning and end of some cell contents in Format | Cells | Custom and I seem to be coming up against a character limit.
I'm using the phrase "!!<"@">!!" to add the code, but with some cell contents the result is ########### (but much longer), and I'm having to remove some of the text to make it work. The limit seems to be around 255 characters.
Is there a way to do a left formula where you can have it pull the whole cell except the last character? Basically, I have a sentence that looks like this:
apples, oranges, pears,
And I want to drop that last comma. But the length of the each cell varies from row to row.
I'm trying to find a formula to add a "Y" to the beginning of a value less than 7 characters and and not to add a "Y" to the beginning value that is equal or greater than 8 characters.
This is how I need it to look.
Y123
Y1234
Y12345
Y123456
Y1234567
12345678

I have an Address Book from an old Personal Information Manager that exports the file as ASCII.
My problem is when I view the .asc file in Excel, Excel has created two rows for several entries.
That creates a problem as I wanted to select Column "A" then do Text to columns with a comma delimiter (the asc files has the comma in place)
However, since Excel put in the second line, I'll not be able to put in a header column.
When I look at the .asc file there is no way that there is more than 32,767 characters in each row. So why did Excel split it up? ....
I've searched for this in the forums but can't find anything. I need to find/replace a character in Excel, it's a question mark in a box and looks like this
I've tried searching for special characters (using the ALT key and number pad) but I can't find anything matching this.
When I save the spreadsheet as a CSV (TAB delimited) this character gets picked up as a TAB, but when I try find replace on the TAB character it doesn't work!
I'm using Excel 2007.
I have a whole bunch of dates in a column that look like this:
5/01/1998 when it is supposed to be 5/01/2098 is there a character you can use when you are using the find & replace mode i.e.
*/**/20** I know it is not the asterisk but I believe there is some other character that can be used and it won't change any other of the numbers except the 19. I tried reformating and it does'nt work because of the way they sent it to me.
do you know any function that recognises which character is in a particular cell?
I'm looking for some VBA code that would look at a column of data, look at each cell value in that column and if the cell value starts with the letter 'G' and the 5th character in that cell is not 'Z' or 'X' I would like to highlight that cell. Example:G123-123 would be highlighted whereas G123Z-123 would not.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am new to Excel and just starting with formulas. I am wondering if a formula can handle the following:
We have a column that has a url in each cell. Example (I removed the http:// before it so that all the words show up and it doesn't change to a clickable link):
i25.photobucket.com/albums/c54/bigbusy/S_Images/sylvantropicalbirdi.jpg[/url]
We would like to tell it to copy the portion after the last forward slash and until the period and put it in another cell. In the above example it would give us sylvantropicalbirdi. We then would want to append a _t to it.
Is this possible or am I just wasting my time trying to figure it out?

Function FindCpmDpm(SearchRng As Range)
Dim CelRng As Range

I have large spreadsheet that analyses the number of times specific characters etc appear in individual cells, but only takes into consideration the filtered cells. My current formula that works fine is:
= sumproduct((subtotal(3,offset($c$66,row($c$66:$c$6959)-min(Row($C$66:$c$6959)),,1))),--isnumber(search("F",$s$66:$s$6959)))
So at the moment every time an F or other specified values is in one of the filtered cells it is counted and displayed in the respective cells. What I would like it to be able to do is recognise when a cell has say 3 F's, and increment the displayed product accordingly.

I want to do this without adding another column (i.e. I can get the result adding a column with formula "=value(left(B2,1))", but I don't want to add the extra column)
I'd also prefer to avoid doing this with a macro, as this part of the formula is only a smaller part in a larger formula.
I tried to look for an entry in this forum, but couldn't find one that matches what I need.
