I am importing into Excel a list of contacts from a txt file so I can make a mailing label database. I am able to seperate out the various parts of the address just fine but here's where it gets tricky.
Below is a example of the text I am importing:
Mr Dow Jones, 600 DIXON ROAD, TORONTO, ON M9W 1J1, CANADA (1-416-6757611)
I need Excel to look at the cell containing the country name and: 1st. see if there is a phone number present (this is the numbers between the () and if there is - place the phone number in Cell F1 and place the Country in Cell E1 but strip out both the () and the phone number. If there is no phone number present (and therefore no () I need Excel to go ahead and place the country name in E1
I have a spreadsheet with 900 rows. All of the rows hold different information. The first column has contents such as this:
This is the text (please remove me) This is some more text (I need to be removed too)
I want to remove from every cell, everything in the brackets - so everything from the first open brackets to the end of the cell contents). Every cell is a different length and the information within the brackets is different.
I am importing data into excel from another application. I place the data on a sheet and then use macros to re-arrage the data to another sheet. One column of cells gets populated with strings of the following format <text1>(<text2>) I would like to extract <text2> and place it in a cell on another sheet. the length of text1 and text2 varies.
I'm trying to enclose a variable declared as string with a numeric value within parentheses. here's the code I have...
Dim strQuery As String, strPortIP As String strQuery = Application.InputBox(Prompt:="Please enter the port or IP you want:", Title:="Query Input", Type:=2) strPortIP = Application.InputBox(Prompt:="Is this a port or IP?",Title:= "Query Type", Type:=2)
If strPortIP = "Port" Or "port" Then strQuery = "(" & strQuery & ")"
I'm getting run-time error '13': type mismatch on the "If..." statement. I'm trying to set the variable strQuery to "(80)", for example, to do a Find within my data. Without the "()" I get ALL occurrences of "80" and that's not what I need...
I have the following information in a cell. I want to get the exchange:ticker which is inside the brackets to be returned (coma delimited). How can I do this? One thing to note here that the number of companies in the cell can vary
Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria (CATS:BBVA); Banco Santander, S.A. (CATS:SAN); Banesto Banco Espanol de Credito SA (CATS:BTO); Banco Popular Espanol SA (CATS:POP); Caja de Ahorros y Monte de Piedad de Madrid; La Caixa Group, Asset Management Arm
Hardware (somethingsmall) otherinfo Hardware ( somethingdisplaced) Blackbox item (somethingelse) other info Service(aservice)
etc
I need to extract the data within the brackets allowing for additional spaces for use in a second query which will search for each individual line item in turn.
For some reason the query does not like searching for the raw data in it's current format so I'm trying to extract the key information for searching instead.
I can do it in excel by:
(Assuming data is in cell V36)
'in colum x =FIND("(",V36)
'in column y =FIND(")",V36)
'in column z =MID(V36,X36+1,Y36-(X36+2))
in column aa =IF(LEFT(Z36,1)=" ", MID(Z36,2,20),Z36)
I have tried doing this cleverly in VBA and failed and then ended up trying to enter this code in the cells within the VBA code and do it that way but I'm having difficulty in doing this also.
I have a small problem that I may be able to deal with in another way, but if all else fails then I need some assistance.
I have this formula: =AND(N3<=$U$1,MOD($U$1,N3)=0)
But unfortunately there will be a time when cell U1 will have the contents of perhaps 12(1). Is there any way to get the formula to ignore the brackets and the figures in the brackets?
I have a list of Surnames in Column D, e.g. ANDERSON, BROWN, COOPER, but for some reason, who ever input the data, decided to include the salutation after that Surname, in brackets, where it was available, e.g. ADAMS (Miss), BUTTON (Mr & Mrs), COX (Dr).
So I'm trtying to remove everything within the brackets (if there is anything) and place it in Column C. I will then Replace the brackets and Trim the contents in Column D. Here is what I want the code to do
I'm trying to create an online order form using google forms. In my response spreadsheet I have an cell containing:
22" - Size 0 (£52.50), 24" - Size 2 (£60.00)
I desperately need to be able to extract the amounts within the brackets across to the next cell and in an ideal world add the amounts together. There could also be more than two sets of brackets, depending on the order being placed.
Is there a formula that can achieve this? All the ones I have tried will only extract from one set of brackets or will do both but then also include the string between the brackets too.
I have a formula which I've been working on which utilizes a lot of defined names and INDIRECT functions. I have been parsing out the segments of the formula to figure out which section is incorrect, and I think it is from the last SUMPRODUCT on. I think I have a parenthesis issue.
Right now, I am using an index match to find a name. It returns it correctly, but is there something I can add to formula to to return the name, and put the name in parenthesis. Example: currently it returns name Chile, but I want (Chile).
I'm trying to separate text that have commas in between. I've got a column that contains commas and a few cells in those columns have commas and bracket. The problem occurs when there are more than two values WITHIN in the bracket that are separated by commas. How can parse the text in such a way where what ever is within the bracket remains in tact? For example: Controls, Motors, Transformers (LVoltage, High Performance, Medium Voltage). The goal is to separate everything before a comma but for Transformers I would like it to remain as 'Transformers (LVoltage, High Performance, Medium Voltage)'.
"your formula is missing --) or (. Check the formula and then add the parenthesis in the appropriate place. The following is one long string. I broke it up to make it easier to read.
i have a worksheet with imported data. it is a chess game notation with comments. is it possible to separate the comments from the moves? the comment part comes in parenthesis. whatever comes in paranthesis has to be separated to the next column. I have given an attachment in which on sheet 1 , is the raw data. on sheet2 i have shown the result.the sheet has to be so edited that it should look nice.since i have separated the comments manually it does'nt look nice.I have separated the comments from the first table of contents only.
i usually don't use the buttons. instead i go for searching the code in the macro dialog. did this time also. but i could not find it there in the list of codes. i even changed the word"private" to option explicit with no positive result. what should i really do to run the macro? i always want that macro is named in the dialog when i click on othe macro-code groups.t
For a spreadsheet that contains info with opening and closing parentheses in the cells I'm testing on, I am having problems getting multiple IF statements to work together in the same formula. I can get them to work separately in different cells, but when I try to combine them in the same cell, I get the #VALUE error. Here is what I'm working with:
In cell G7 I have the text: Fort Fraser (1) In cell H7 I have the formula: =IF((RIGHT(G7,1)=")")*AND(MID(G7,LEN(G7)-2,1)="("),LEFT(G7,LEN(G7)-4),G7)
In cell G8 I have the text: Fort St. James (11) In cell H8 I have the forumla: =IF((RIGHT(G8,1)=")")*AND(MID(G8,LEN(G8)-3,1)="("),LEFT(G8,LEN(G8)-5),G8)
Both formulas work correctly by discarding the parentheses and everything in between, as well as the space before the opening parenthesis. As you can see, the first formula will work with a single digit in the parentheses, and the second works with two digits. It's just when I try to combine the two tests in the same formula (editing the second one so it also tests on G7) that I get the #VALUE error. I have tried using OR to combine the two tests.
I use keyboard commands whenever possible. They are much quicker than the mouse.
For years I have been using [Ctrl]+[Shift]+[1] to format cells as numeric with two decimal places, 1000 separator(,) and showing negative numbers in black with a minus sign in front.
We have a spreadsheet of our customer's info, to send to our collection agency; when we export it puts parenthesis around the area code and adds a hyphen in the number.
Also it puts commas in the figures. And I need the slashes gone from the date - is there a simple way to do this?
I tried formatting but it doesn't take out the () or ,
macro find parenthesis and remove string in every other cell in Col.A The following formula works but is tedious to apply to every other cell: =LEFT(A3,FIND("(",A3)-2) Data Example: Cell Value A2 = hello world I am A2 (this is an example) Cell Value A3 = hello world I am A2
Then Delete the entire row A2 and apply this to every other A.Col.cell with the original data.
But when i click in the cell to edit the formula the {} (at the beginning and end) disapear and the formula no longer works. If i add them back manually the formula still does not work.
How can i edit these formulas without stopping them working.
