Excel 2007 :: Find First Character In A Cell
Jun 22, 2012
If I have a cell which begins with a few spaces and then has a character, how do I use the find function to see how many spaces until some character is present in the cell. The * does not work with this.

Following the tips doesn't allow to remove a character.
I exported email addresses from Outlook and they have the following character ' in front of the email address.
Using Excel 2007.. it says :"check if your search formatting and criteria are defined correctly. If you are sure that matching data exists in this workbook, it may be on a protected worksheet. Excel cannot replace data on a protected worksheet"
So I made a new file, and copied and pasted the cells into the new spreadsheet.. same message.

I've got a whole load of cells that have a pipe ( | ) on the end of the value which I'm trying to remove.
Easy enough thinks me, so;
Code:
=LEFT(AB188,LEN(AB188)-1)
And then Copy / Paste Values Still has a pipe on the end... I check the cell for trailing spaces, there are none...
I check the length of the cell (658) against the length of the result from the formula (657)...
So, my formula works, but when I copy and paste as values the pipe remains.
I'm using Excel 2007 and the cell contatins other pipe characters I'd like to keep in there so I can't find and replace or anything.

I have following kind of sting in the cell.
<Abc_desc><to_location>10102535</to_location><from_location>100</from_location><abc_nbr>00000000009882203100</abc_nbr><abc_type>C</abc_type><con_qty>113</con_qty><bcd_nbr>00000000009882203</bcd_nbr>
I want to extract the number between <abc_nbr> and </abc_nbr>. i.e., "00000000009882203100".
The starting number of the string may varies.
Macro should pick the number and paste it into the next cell.

Cells A1:A5 all have a vlookup formula that will pull one of the following into it:
1. The word "NONE"
2. #N/A error since it doesn't exist in the table
3. A text value that has the format 13.55.46.91
I want a formula that will look at these 5 cells and give me #3. That #3 value can only appear once in the 5 cells in any of those 5. The other 4 cells will contain either 1 or 2.
3 always has length equal to 11. It always has periods in those places. The digits do change.

how I could find 1 character and replace the entire cell. For example, it would find "<12", "<3", and "<32" based on "<" and then replaced that entire cell with "N/A".

Using Microsoft Excel 2007, VBA
I am trying to display an error message if a range is missing '0' or '100', or is empty.
I figured out how to display error when the selected range is empty, but I cannot figure out how to find if a particular value exists within a range and return an error if there isn't.

I have a table with names of employees in Column A, the data for each employee is written in columns B, C and D.
I'd like to be able to type in this data in cells E12-E14 and have Excel bring up all of the names in the table that are associated with this data, and preferably separate them with commas.
I'm working with Excel 2007, without VBA/Marcros.
Please see the example file: find_name_example.xlsx

I have several sheets I use for MI and most have similar amounts of data in, ie, a tab for each month with out 15-20 columns and upto 10,000 rows, then a couple of summary sheets with filtering and calculations in.
One of my sheets is currently 16Mb, when the others are about a third of that, with similar amounts of data.
Is there a way to find what is causing the extra space to be taken in this sheet?
Or does this seem about right for the amount of data?
I'm using 2007.

I'm running Microsoft Office 2007.
I have 2 separate tables.. both a list of contacts of sorts.
In one table I have a list of all my clients (table A), in the other I have a list of "preferred" clients (table B).
The contact details etc that are stored in table A are more comprehensive to those in table B.
Effectively, I want to search for all of my preferred contacts from table B and filter for them in table A.
Then ideally I will sort alphabetically and just cut and paste the details into my preferred client spreadsheet.
I had a look online and there was something about creating a "relationship" but I don't think excel 2007 allowed me to do it. I certainly hadn't heard of powerview or powerpivot that they were using!

I'm running Excel 2007 on Windows 7.
I've got a crude code which searches for multiple alphanumeric data. The code is below:-
Code:
Cells.Find(what:="1kp", _
LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
lookat:=xlWhole, _
[Code]...
I want to make this code more efficient by searching for either 1kp, 2kp or 3kp in one process & 'doing the same thing' at one time. How do I achieve this?
Explained slightly differently, the code should look something like this:- Find 1kp or 2kp or 3kp. Then do something with the found results.

I am wanting to find rows that with unique values in the first column, and then take those rows and display them in a more readable format. The section titled input is an example of information that would be pulled from a query into Excel. The Desired Output section is how I would like the info to be displayed. If this is possible without VBA then that is even better.

I have two spreadsheets. one contains a master list of computer names. the other contains a list of computer names to be removed from the master list (exception list).
I need to go through the master list and remove any computer names that are on the exception list- for example, if 'computer1' is in the exception list, i have to find and remove 'computer1' from the master list.
The exception list is quite long, and I want to automate this process if possible. not sure how to achieve this.
I'm using Excel 2007 Standard.

Using Excel 2007 and conditional formatting, how would I find duplicates across all fields in the table, similar to the "remove duplicates" tool that in default mode selects all the fields or offers the option to select fields of choice. I need to look at all the fields.
I've tried concatenation, but only with a limited number of fields; larger amounts slow the process to a crawl. If my table is 10,000 records with 15 fields, what process would I use to highlight the duplicates. How about something in VBA?

I've used the below, for example in Column E, the actual data starts in row 4, so I can't use the full E:E syntax:
=IF(ISERROR(INDEX(Data!E$4:E$65000,MATCH(9.99999999999999E+307,Data!E$4:E$65000))),
INDEX(Data!E$4:E$65000,MATCH("z",Data!E$4:E$65000)),
INDEX(Data!E$4:E$65000,MATCH(9.99999999999999E+307,Data!E$4:E$65000)))
The above basically checks for a number, and if fails (there could be #N/A, #DIV/0!, text, or Number-stored-as-text in any cell here), it checks for text. (the 65000 is arbitrary; we will never have more than a few thousand rows)
However this is not reliable--the main problem seems to be number-stored-as-text. And it's not possible for me to do the Paste-Special Multiply *1 trick to convert the numbers because this data is dynamically generated from a database--the user would have to do that every time the sheet opens.
Is there not some formula that simply says: "Give me the last non-blank cell after row 4 in column E, regardless of what type of data"? (Excel 2007)

We were looking at a list of about 100 FedEx tracking numbers, each 30 characters in length, in an otherwise blank Excel spreadsheet. All tracking numbers in column A.
I used the Conditional Formatting - Highlight Duplicates feature to find any duplicate tracking numbers. It highlighted numerous. We sorted the column smallest to largest to look at two duplicates back to back, but found that there were actually no duplicates. Excel was highlighting values that had the *first 25* characters the same, but it didn't matter what the remaining characters were. For example:
1234567890123456789012345XXXXX and
1234567890123456789012345YYYYY
were highlighted as duplicates of each other.
Excel only looks at the first 25 characters when analyzing duplicates (at least in this specific function). That in and of itself blows my mind. Tracking numbers seem like an abundantly common type of data, and to think that Excel would fail to analyze them in such a simple manner seems impossible to me.
It gets slightly more confusing though. If you back a character off the end of the values, it NO LONGER sees them as duplicates. So...
1234567890123456789012345XXXX and
1234567890123456789012345YYYYY
are NOT highlighted as duplicates while
1234567890123456789012345XXXXX and
1234567890123456789012345YYYYY
ARE highlighted as duplicates. So there's some funny business going on about values of the same character length. Maybe Excel first looks at character length before analyzing specific characters. If length doesn't match, it doesn't even bother to analyze specific character values. That seems like a very strange programming choice though.

I am trying to find a way to see if a range of cells contain (not exactly, just contains) the text in another cell.
For example:
A1 Fred Flintsonte 2012 B1 Barney Rubble C1 Barney Rubble
A2 Barney Rubble 2012
If a cell in range A1:A2 contains text in B1 (CASE INSENSITIVE), then C1 equals B1
I've tried entering this formula in C1, but it does not work:
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(B1,A1:A2)), B1, "")

I can see the cursor move to all the desired cells when this macro executes; it just isn't dropping any data where it should be. I have been working at this stage for the last five hours with no success. I don't know whether my copy-paste methodology is broken or if it is my selection criteria

I have a text box within a chart tab which is populated with text values from a worksheet within the workbook. That part works fine however i want to be able to achieve the following example:
Current Text: Component Name - Notes
if there are notes against the component name i want the name to remain in black and the notes to change to blue
Aim: Component Name - Notes
If there arn't any notes then for the component name and the "-" to change to a light shade of grey
Aim: Component Name -
There are 26 components, each on their own lines in the textbox so im thinking either a loop where the cell reference is variable eg. ("CY" & i) or using the .find with a variable.
My code so far is:
Code:
Sub Chart_Notes_NTCA()
Dim i As Long, j As Long, Counted As Long, Total As Long
Dim Ans As String, Notes As String
Dim Cht As Chart
[Code].....

Excel 2007 I have a spreadsheet of file boxes the keeps a log of boxes, contents, locations and shred dates. Currently figuring out when and which boxes can be shredded is a manual hunt, find, and then deal with it. I can use CF and Sorting but I have been looking at some search type functions to return a list meeting the requirements and trying to step my way towards that.
1st attempt. Was find out how many boxes meet the shred (before today) that have not already been detroyed. Column K is the Shred Date, D1 is Todays date, Column G is Status. Got this working good.
[QUOTE]]=SUMPRODUCT(--(Log!K2:K2136(lessthan)STATS!D1)*SIGN(LEN(Log!K2:K2136)))-(COUNTIF(Log!G2:G2136,"Destroyed"))[/QUOTE
My failed attempt came at trying to find the earliest shred date excluding those that have been destroyed. This is not really neeed but I was hoping it would get me closer to creating the list of boxes that meet shred that have not already been destroyed.
Note: Column A is the Box No. and the spreadsheet contains blanks as we continue to add file boxes to storage.
Below array formula find the highest box number used by each department.
Code:
=A4&"-"&TEXT(MAX(IF(Log!$A$2:$A$2136"",(LEFT(Log!$A$2:$A$2136,LEN(A4))=A4)*RIGHT(Log!$A$2:$A$2136,3))),"000")
I would like to create a list of boxes including Column A "Box no.", Column H "Location", Column K "Shred Date" for any box whose shred date is before today that has not aleady been labeled "Destroyed" in Column G.

Am working in Excel 07, but this would need to work in 2000 as well.
Need a macro that will...
1. Select a range of cells from B4 to RX. X is defined as the last row where Column A has a value.
2. Copy the visible cells
3. Open an email in Outlook (not via the email workbook function of excel), enter "Submission" into the title, enter "Dear X," insert 2 returns.
4. Paste the copied table (not the workbook, just what is on the clipboard) into the body the email.
