Excel 2003 :: Take Specific Text From Cell And Copy It In New One (Text And / Or Words Position Varies)
Jan 17, 2013
I'm having a 6000+ records, (contacts DB) exported in Excel 2003 format from MS Outlook.
Except the "First" and "LastName", all other contact elements are in the field "Notes" (which is the BZ column according to the exported outlook layout) multiplied by 6469 (records in total)
Now, I want every time to take the part of the text says "TER:something..." (part of which is date, but not every time with the known format dd-mm-yyyy, as you see here is yyy, followed by something else, with parenthesis here and maybe more data) and copy it in a new cell..., e.g:CO Column, same Row...
Above and every field which by the way is formatted as General (and it is text mainly) are made by merging older excel fields where data laid here and there, that's why you see the commas...with the method of a module with the following code:
Function MyMerge(Rng As Range)
For Each Cell In Rng
Temp = Temp & Cell.Value & ", "
Next Cell
Temp = Mid(Temp, 1, Len(Temp) - 2)
MyMerge = Temp
End Function
Note1:Records with the above string (TER:dd-mm-yyy) are 771 from 6469.
Note2: As an alternative solution I can see an extraction of the TER:dd-mm-yyy string and the copy in a new place, like the:CO Column, same Row...
Sub Test() For Each Cell In Sheets(1).Range("J:J") If Cell.Value = "131125" Then
[Code]....
This works great except that it pastes formulas. I would like to paste values only. I've tried " PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _ :=False, Transpose:=False" and it gives me an error.
I have these specific rows (2,3,4,6,43,44,45,63) which I would like to copy and paste it on a designated sheet. But my problem is, the column varies depending on the YEARS.
I do have codes for it, the one I got from the recording. I just do it for all of the rows (formula pasted here) until all of it copied on the summary sheet. However, when I finally finished it and I run it. I could see the movement form One Sheet to another and its not good.
A code that I could use for my better understanding of MACRO.
I have a very large file of data, over 500,000 rows, opening in one sheet in Excel is not an option with my current version. In each row I need to change the characters in positions 41-44 from whatever they current are, to '9999'. I'm sure there has to be a way I can do this using vba, does anyone have a sample snippet of code, or another post they can point me too?
Date: 17/09/2013 KO: 19:45 Ref: B Malone Att: 7,574 extraction of text from the above text string which is say in A1. What l need is for Date to go in A2, KO in B2, Ref in C2, & Att in D2. I'm using Excel 2003
I'm trying to find vehicle make and model in a cell containing a lot of text and then display that in the formula cell. For example if A1 is a paragraph that contains somewhere within it "Ford" & "Ranger". I want B1 to display "Ford" and C1 to display "Ranger". I have a list of vehicles makes (column A) and models (column B) on a seperate sheet.
She has a spreadsheet created in Excel 2003 (she is still using 2003) which contains an image with a textbox in the top left corner then all other cells contain data.
When user prints this spreadsheet all that prints is the image and the textbox.
I have cleared the print area reset the print area removed the picture (prints only the text box)
and none of these changes have changed what prints.
I have checked all printer setting and these appear normal.
previously user could print this spreadsheet fine and all other worksheets in the workbook print fine as well.
other users are still able to print to the same printer correctly from this spreadsheet.
I have a huge data set as given follow and want to Copy a the value of treatment from the cell having Treatment description at some other sheet through VBA
'UPDATE [XYZ 1213] SET TreatmentDescription = '000' WHERE ( ("Abc" < 00) );' 'UPDATE [XYZ 1111] SET TreatmentDescription = '093' WHERE ( ("wer" < 00) );'
Like in upper code I want the output sheet 2 as Cell A1 = '000' and A2 = '093' and so on
I have a cell that contains various data but in the cell there will be a string of characters that will begin with either ON or TN followed by numbers. What I would like to do is have the sheet look at that cell and if there's a TN12345 (or any combination of numbers) or an ON123456 (same idea as the TN) I would like the sheet to pull just the ON or TN number out and paste it in a specific cell. The ON would have it's own cell to be placed in as would the TN.
Here's an example. C5 contains various data, a mix of text and numbers but it will have either an ON or a TN or both. I would like the sheet to automatically pull the TN number out and place it in A5 and the ON in B5. I would like this process to repeat all the way through the sheet to the max amount of rows since I have no way of knowing how many rows I'll need. Can this be done with a simple IF formula or does it have to be done in VBA or is it not possible at all.
I'm trying to copy data from one excel sheet to another excel sheet. However, the data to be copied is dependent on the 'client name'.
To explain this further, in the first list I have a detailed report on our clients and the services provided to every employee of that company/client.
However, the sheet two only needs the names of the employees that belong to a specific client.
This can be done manually by setting a fliter on the name of the client/company, but I need to be automated. To ensure only that specific company/client company's employee name is copied.
I'm using WinXP with Excel 2003 - I have a column of highway sign description data (16k+ rows).
Example:
Curve Arrow Right Curve Arrow Left Turn Arrow Reversing Curve Arrow Right Winding Road Arrow(plus many more unique entries)
I'm using SUM and COUNTIF to total the number of times "Curve", "Reversing", "Turn" and "Winding" appear in the column.
My formula is: Code: =SUM(COUNTIF($F11:$F16196,{"*CURVE*","*REVERSING*","*TURN*","*WINDING*"}))
Which works great EXCEPT what I really want is the number of cells with any of those key words, not the total count of those words. The example above should be 5, but since row four contains more that 1 of the key words I'm getting 6.
I'm working on a text prediction project classifer model and would like to remove the stop words before I stem the document to get the important topics.
I found the thread that Stanley solved really useful. However, I have a lot more stop words that I'd like to remove, which I couldn't make work with the previous code (I'm completely new to this!)
So I have a column that will have the same text in all of the cells contained within it except for one cell. Is there a formula that I can use that will automatically find and transpose the text of the one cell that is unique out of the column? I was thinking of an IF function, but the column could be up to 60 cells in length.
I have an excel file (2003 version) with one sheet called sheet1.
On sheet1 I have multiple text boxes, however each text box has the same text box number "Text Box 1244" (this number appears in the top left-hand side in excel when I click the textbox).
I was wondering if it's possible to rename the text boxes based on their location on the sheet.
Eg. If i had a sheet with 5 rows of text boxes and 3 columns of text boxes (15 text boxes in total).
The top left-hand box gets renamed to "Text Box 1", then the text box below that gets renamed to "Text Box 2" and so on to the bottom of the sheet to "Text Box 5". Then the vba script would move to the text box that was to the right of the first text box (1st row again but 2nd column), and rename all the text boxes in that column ("Text Box 6" onward).
I'm stuck on this problem a while now and cannot find any scripts to solve it. My VBA is non-existent, I usually get by on bits of code I find on the web.
I hope each textbox has a hidden co-ordinate associated with it, then it might be possible to loop through all the textboxes based on their positions and rename them.
I have a large number of product descriptions of varying lengths (column A) which I need to split into a maximum of 3 columns depending on the total length of the description. Each description in column A is less than 90 characters. Each column (B, C & D) can only be a maximum of 30 characters including spaces and commas etc. Also words cannot be split. Below is a sample of the result I would expect with the description in column A and the 3 extracted columns in B, C and D. I am using Excel 2003.
I struggle with my old excel (2003). There is a thing i have to do: put arrows from one sheet which will change its color depending on data, written in some fields. Also there is a task to put these values inside created arrows. I put values using commands:
Worksheets("Map").Shapes("COL").Select With Selection.Characters .Text = Range("Data!E4").Value
Arrows are drawn in different angles using drawing tool. So i need to rotate the text inside the arrows respectively to angle of the arrow rotation. So how is it possible to rotate text inside that shape?
A user inputs a string of letters/symbols all meaning different things. These would typically for my case be L, R, +, -, F. These items correspond to certain behaviors. Essentially I'm working on a L-System solver for those of you who are well versed in math. For those of you who aren't, I'll explain a bit.
An L-system starts with a string, for example:
LFL+F+LFL
and then has one or more generators:
L:-RF+LFL+FR- R:+LF-RFR-FL+
then at each iteration of the system, every L and R in the previous iteration gets replaced with that string. The +/- are incremental angles.
I need to be able to take each iteration and convert it into a series of rows with one character in each row. I need it to do this automatically, and automatically adjust to the proper length of rows (these strings can get thousands of characters long because each iteration of the system converts the Ls and Rs into longer strings containing more of all of those letters.) Once each of those rows are constructed, I need it to run some mathematical operations on each of these rows automatically.
For example, for each + or -, the value in an angle column should change by an increment given elsewhere in the sheet. For each F, the x and y coordinates should change from the previous iteration based on the angle (just a basic d+dcos(ang) or d+dsin(ang) where d is a distance multiplied by a scaling factor).
I have no experience with Macros or any type of scripting, so if I can keep this in an Excel formula, that would be ideal. I know a minimal amount of C++ and Python, but that's the extent of my programming knowledge.
I need an Excel 2003 compatible solution for this. Formulae only, no Macros or VBA in this case. The limitation set by the organisation we report to.
On sheet LGFC I have clients with their attendance hours, notes and the relevant dates.
01/07/2013 01/07/2013 08/07/2013 08/07/2013 15/07/2013 15/07/2013 Ref No Name Carer Name Client Active
[code]....
To really test if this works you need to extend this over more than one month. My sheet goes on for a full financial year and of course with rows of clients. I now need to report per month. However, next financial year the month column locations may vary.
We need to report per month.I am able to sum up the month's total hours for all clients (E3 to J26) with the following formula (which ignores text). Data!$G3 gives the relevant month in date format (1/7/2013).
=SUM(IF(ISNUMBER(LGFC!1:1),IF(LGFC!1:1-DAY(LGFC!1:1)+1=Data!$G3,LGFC!3:26))) array formula: Ctrl Shift Enter
This results (example data) in 10 hours. (if I had a client 2 with zero hours, and a client 3 with another 10 hours it would result in 20 hours)
Now my next step would be to report any notes. So I want to find all the text in that month and concatenate it into one cell. I started with this formula, but that doesn't work and gives a FALSE.
Doesn't work!
=CONCATENATE(IF(ISNUMBER(LGFC!1:1),IF(LGFC!1:1-DAY(LGFC!1:1)+1=Data!G3,LGFC!3:26))) array formula: Ctrl Shift Enter
Doesn't work!
Ideally I would not just want everything jumbled into one concatenation, but even that would be acceptable. (It is unlikely that there would be more than 255 cells with notes.)
Based on the above example the ideal result would look like:
1 Mrs Test, unwell, left early, Sick
But I would accept just the notes unwell, left early, Sick
It needs to ignore blank cells. With multiple clients it would ideally look like:
1 Mrs Test, unwell, left early, Sick
2 Mr Best, in hospital, visiting family, Sick
or
1 Mrs Test, unwell, left early, Sick / 2 Mr Best, in hospital, visiting family, Sick If we want to include the Ref No and Client Name it probably needs another if statement. "If there is text to concatenate that month/row than include Ref No and Client Name."
How would I pull only a specific word from a text cell? If you see my example, in one column I have various job titles. If A2 contains "Manager", then in B2 return "Manager. If A1 contains "Coordinator", return "Coordinator. Etc.
Take 5 PPE Swabs per Area, Both Shifts. Test various equipment - hands, aprons, sleeves, hats, etc.
What I need is for "Take 5 PPE Swabs per Area, Both Shifts." to be bold and highlighted in gray, but none of the other text. Conditional formatting highlights the entire cell, which won't work.
I am running a text comparison between customer names in 2 systems and although I can identify where they dont match I would like a bit more information as to what the differences may be:
See below sample data - 1 system may have Mr/Ms and middle initials whereas the other simply has the name is it possible to write a formula that will look at the cell and when it does not match identify the extra characters. Or if it totally doesnt match then just state incorrect.
What formula should I use to search a certain text that might be on the beginning, middle or end of a cell to use it as a condition for an IF formula to return a related description. In the example below the text would be "deposit".
is there a formula that will find a word in a sentence written in a cell and if present then enter specif text in another cell? for example, if the word "Hotel" appears in the sentence in cell A5 then put in the text "Hotel and subsistence" in cell B5...
List of email addresses in column a List of email addresses in column b
** I would like a formula that will take all the values in column A and compare it to the entire list of entries in column B. Would like it to show in Column C any entries in Column A that ARE NOT in the entire column B.
*Would like it to repeat for entries that are in Column B, but not in Column A and show in D.
*Then would like a count of the differences for each column (that is pretty easy).
It needs to look at the entire list of entries in the column as these will be email addresses. We want to know what is missing from Column A that is not in Column B and what is missing from B that is not in A.
I am working on an online archive database and I need to insert "<!--More-->" (without the quotes) after 80 words in a number of cells populated with 500+ word stories. I browsed here for a while to no avail.
When I copy from Excel 2003 (values & formulas) and paste special into Excel 2007 i get the option screen to select unicode text,sylk etc instead of the other screen with the option of values,formulas,formats etc.How can I select the option for value,formulas? Sorry cannot attach a screen shot as it is above the allowed limit.
