Extract Data In Brackets/Parenthesis
Jun 9, 2007I 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
Remove Text With Brackets & The Parenthesis
Oct 23, 2007I 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.
Remove Parenthesis & Text Within From Range
Feb 21, 2008For 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.
Remove Text Inside Parenthesis & The 2 Brackets
Dec 15, 2007I 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.
Extract Text From Given Point In Text String When Data Points Do Not Share Given
Jul 9, 2014I have a set of task descriptions that I am attempting to trend on. Some of these (Column B) have the customer's name added to the description; others do not. I need to be able to make a list of task names (ColumnA), removing the name from the text string.
The formula I am using is [=LEFT(B3,FIND("for",B3)-2)].
The problem I am having is when the description does not contain the "for" built into the formula, I get "VALUE" error. What adjustment can I make to the formula to pull over the Description if the "for" does not appear in the text string?

Sep 4, 2009An original text string entry appearing in an Excel cell would be:
"N7C Neuroprotective J5Z Antiviral, other M2Z Antiarthritic, other J5A Antiviral, anti-HIV"
I need to extract N7C, J5Z, M2Z and J5A from this string and list these alphanumeric values in separate cells adjacent to the original text string. The challenge is that these alphanumeric references may appear in different positions within the original string with no fixed value e.g. a "," separating them. The alphanumeric references may also be 3 or 4 characters in length and there may be different numbers of alphanumeric references in the original string.
Another example would be (very different from the first):
"T2Z Recombinant, other K5B Radio-chemoprotective J3Z Antibacterial, other D3A Vulnerary A10C Symptomatic antidiabetic K6Z Anticancer, other R8A Antiasthma B6A Septic shock treatment I1Z Immunostimulant, other S1Z Ophthalmological R8B Antiallergic, non-asthma M1A1 Anti-inflammatory"
You can see that in this further example "A10C" & "M1A1" are 4 character alphanumeric strings wheras the others feature 3 characters.
Parenthesis
Dec 4, 2007I 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.

Opening A Text File With Todays Date
Jun 7, 2007I know that the below code goes some way to opening a text file that I'm importing. The thing is, I want it to do this every day and work out the filename itself.
This should be simple as the filename is based on the date.
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
"TEXT;c:docs oday_06062007.txt", Destination:=Range("A1"))
All I want to do is have the start of the filename: 'C:docs oday_' and add the date in the same format automatically...
Data Lost Opening Text File
Mar 1, 2007I'm working with a list of different manufacturer part numbers, that must be represented in TEXT format only! The file with manufacturer part numbers exported from ERP system to TXT/CSV formats. When I open it in Excel , manually in "Text Import Wizard" I define Column Data Format as Text.
Examples:
1. part number 3214-4-5 turns to 05/04/3214
2. part number 0005487 turns to 5487
3. part number 223878615654 turns to 2.23879E+11
4. part number 4303.240600 turns to 4303.2406
Is anyway to do it automatically from VBA? I try to record macro , but it does not contain "text format".

Separating Commas And Parenthesis
Jul 20, 2009I'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)'.

UserFrorm / Select All In Text Box Of First Tab Stop Programmatically While Opening Form
Oct 25, 2012when my userform opens, it automatically puts the cursor into the first text box (based on the tab order) of the userform. I also set this text box value to read "0" (zero) when it first opens.
My questions is, can I make the userform open up as it does now (above), but ALSO highlight the zero ("0") in the text box? The reason is so that when the user inputs a number into this box, it also overwrites the zero in the box at the same time (because the zero would already be highlighted)?

How To Separate Comments Inside The Parenthesis
Apr 22, 2014i 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

Jul 28, 2006Is it possible to extract a number in brackets specifically from a cell, then increase it by 15%, and return the result back into the brackets.

Or is there a macros that can be created for this?
