I am trying to extract the first letter of each word in a string. The string can contain either a space or a "/" as a separator. e.g. blue green or blue/green. If there is no space or "/" in the string, I need to return the 1st 2 characters.
I'm using the following formula but it is returning #VALUE!
I have a listbox populated with a number followed by description. How do I write code to extract the number and description to different cells. Listbox example: "1234ES - Project Description". Now I want "1234ES" in one cell and "Project Description" in cell left of number.
How do I code VBA to extract the data (text) from a cell at a certain position? For ex., if the cell contains this text: "My Name Is MB" I want to extract the text starting from position 4 so that the result is "Name Is MB"
The structure of my data (in each cell) is: Alpha Jan 13 35.00 Grams. So it is a record of an item (alpha in this cell), date (Jan 13), and number of grams. I need to find every cell that has this kind of record in a large data set, and after every occurrence of "Grams" I want to extract the number of grams. In this case 35.00. Note the place numbers are not equal. For example in another cell the record could be "Beta March 20 350.00 Grams".
Lets suppose that in a drop down box I have the words : "I" "want" "to" "create" "a" " sentence".
Well what I would like to do is have each word as selected in the drop down box, placed in another cell creating a sentence.
If you picked the words in order the cell should read: I want to create a sentence or it could read any combination of these words depending in the order they were picked. So it could read: I sentence want to create a sentence if the words were selected in this order.

and I'd like to use a couple of formulas in the two columns to the right of this data 1st column:a formula to obtain the number of words in a cell 2nd column:a formula to extract the last n words from a cell (ex. the last 2 words)
so that the columns would have as their results 6 west unrulu 7 #1234 easrlr
I have data till 1000 rows. Every cell contain 1 sentance. I wanted to extract a specific word from that sentance. That word lenth is always 10 character and that word gets start with W0. e.g W012202911
From XL, I'm trying to search a summary document for a keyword, then copy the paragraph containing the keyword to another document.
I want to be able to do this for a variable amount of paragraphs. Currently, the following code finds the keyword in summary.doc (once) and then copies it to test.doc It's a start. I can't seem to find a way to select and copy the paragraph (even once).
The keyword is always on line1 and the paragraph is always 4 lines....

How to write the function to extract the string of text after the last backslash () and before the period (.) (i.e. "123 & xyz in the above example"). The length of the path is inconsistent in the column; still the function should extract it.
I want to return the 7 letters of text that appears after the word Timer in cell A1. So cell A1 will be a sentence with the word Timer in it somewhere and I want to return the 7 characters after it appears.
Cell in excel containing large amount of text. Contains the following text one or more times (including the speech marks): "Provide Dwd/Dwl Number: DWD*****" What I need to do is extract all of the DWD values from this cell, load into an array and dump them into another cell. It's the extraction bit that I need to sort out. In my mind the way that the code should work is:
Find all instances of 'dwd' For each instance of 'dwd' check the next/proceding character.
if the character is a space, check the next one if the character is not a number or space, break and go to the next instance of 'dwd' if the character is a number add it and the next 5 characters to a temp variable (varTemp) loop take the value of varTemp, prepend it with 'dwd' and add it to the running list/array Loop Output the full list of DWDs
I have the function below from http://www.ozgrid.com/VBA/extract-words-function.htm and have it working exactly as it's supposed to. Is it possible to adapt this to remove the last character of the text string, specifically the commas? My problem is that the raw data in one cell is like this (including commas) 0.333, 5.8874, 6.85423, 0.025. I separate each text string into separate cells but am left with the commas. I'm not using the "Data Text to Columns" option as I need the results in specific cells so they can then be used in calculations.
Function Get_Word(text_string As String, nth_word) As String Dim lWordCount As Long With Application.WorksheetFunction lWordCount = Len(text_string) - Len(.Substitute(text_string, " ", "")) + 1 If IsNumeric(nth_word) Then nth_word = nth_word - 1 Get_Word = Mid(Mid(Mid(.Substitute(text_string, " ", "^", nth_word), 1, 256), _ . Find("^", .Substitute(text_string, " ", "^", nth_word)), 256), 2, _ .Find(" ", Mid(Mid(.Substitute(text_string, " ", "^", nth_word), 1, 256), _ ............................
I'm prepping this file to be pushed through mail merge. The sheet has 25,213 rows.
Column I contains a long string of character (for the purposes of my project the field is called Subjects) and $ used as delimiters (approx 70 or as few as 1). This column needs to be split apart by $ and the separate Subjects that result from splitting apart by $ needs to be placed on a separate line. Once each Subject is on a separate line, all of the Subjects need to be lined up in Column I, one under another (the obvious result at this point is GREATLY increasing the number of rows in the sheet). Next, all of the data that is contained in each Subject's originating row will be copied to each of newly created rows (without copying over the Subject contained in column I).
After writing this all out, I realize (once again).
How would I modify the below code to extract all of this data from multiple files? I have about a 1000 files that I need to extract all of the data from to manipulate in Excel.
Code: Sub ImportWordTable() Dim wdDoc As Object Dim wdFileName As Variant Dim TableNo As Integer 'table number in WordDim iRow As Long '
I need some direction on how to proceed with dismantling an address cell. I have a workbook that one field is an address label field. What I mean is the entire address is entered in one field just as it would appear on an envelope. I need some suggestions on how to break this apart and create individual fields for the individual parts.
I frequently review DAT files. These DAT files use a variety of characters as delimiters. I'm trying to devise a macro that will perform a text-to-column operation, using the content of a specified cell as the delimiter.
Here's my code, which uses - (ASCII 0254) as a delimiter:
Code: With Sheet1 Range("A1", ActiveCell.End(xlDown)).Select Do
[Code]....
Instead of having the delimiter hard-coded, I'd like my macro to use whatever character I enter into Sheet3.Range("i5") as a delimiter. That way, I can easily change my delimiter character as necessary.
This is column a and b. Looking at b I am looking for a formula that will pull the first capital letter out of each word like ACR to create color codes.
I am looking to take information from a document emailed to me in word and then populate the specific ranges in my excel spreadsheet for invoices. What is the best method for doing this and how can i control where it comes from the position in the document and the range is going to.
I'm currently trying to compare all of my companies data sources for staff, ie helpdesk, telephony, ldap etc. and I have made quite a bit of progress, mostly thanks to this forum, however one issue I am running into, is the fact that when I use the text to columns funtion (in a macro) it's splitting up names which are double barrelled into 3 columns. The names are in the format of...
I do receive invoices from my vendors. They send me an invoice in PDF formate. I am using able2extract software to conver the PDF to excel. It is working great but most of the times my vendors enters the items/Case in the description field. Like the example below:
"Bajri Rotla 11 oz.(24)"
I would like to place a "," in between the last character and begining of the first number. In the above case it will be after "a" (in Rotla) and before "1" in (11). If I can do this then I can apply texttocolumn from excel and use "," as delimiter and separate item name from size and case/Pack. Then can use another "Texttocolumn" and separate size and case/pack. If there is a VBA code that can be written for this it would make my life a whole lot easier.
Following are 3 images that I have copied from actual data.
1. Original PDF invoice data that I receive from my Vendor
2. Image of the excel file before formating. This is the format from "Able2Extract" (3rd party software that I use to convert PDF to excel. Works great!!
3. Converted Excel data sheet. This is the way I want to format the data.
