Extract Characters To The Left Of Space Character In A Cell
Sep 10, 2013
I can do this in Excel, but I don't seem to have a single example to hand of how, using VBA, to extract all characters up to but not including, the first space character in a cell.
I am attempting to utilize the Mid, Left, and Right functions to parse out data returned in a single cell. There are twelve months of data returned with the "title" listed after. I would like to be able to FIND the title and return a specific number of characters of data to the LEFT not the right (as Mid seems to do).
Cell R2 contains this value: " Forecast Time: 240 Index A forecast = 9078.314". I want to extract the characters "9078.314" and put them in a different cell. The cell that it should be affected to depends on the characters "240". I believe I should use the MID() and VLOOKUP() functions but I get stuck at the very first step of extracting my data.
I've created a user form that has a list box populated with a fairly standardized format - a product ID or model number followed by a dash ( - ) then followed by a description. Based on the users selection of an item in the listbox, certain rows will be copied over from another tab in the excel file.
An error occurs when a Model Number list box item is selected but not when a product ID is selected.
The difference between the two are AlphaNumeric vs only numeric.
I am looking to write a formula in an excell cell to veiw some of the wording in another cell. I know how to say that i want to see the first or last "x" characters in a cell.. But how do i say that i want to see all the info/wording in a cell except the last "x" characters..
I'm trying to figure out why i'm getting this error: "Object variable or With block variable not set" for this
Sub Macro3() Dim cel As Range Dim str1 As String Dim SearchThing As Range Set SearchThing = ActiveSheet.Range("I34") str1 = Left(SearchThing.Value, Len(SearchThing) - 4) cel.Value = str1 End Sub
I am blanking out. I want to pull the data out until a space (one formula from the left and one from the right). Ithink it's a mid function but not sure.
StrMnthYear = Trim(Left(Range("A1"), _ InStr(1, Range("A1"), " ", vbTextCompare) + 4)) MsgBox StrMnthYear End Sub
I have a column of cells likes: 5/5058 Jack Daniels 5/29AA Crown Royal
I want to delete everything to the left of the first space. So it will look like: Jack Daniels Crown Royal
It has to be vba though. I have done alot of trim in just formulas but this is first time in VBA. The above code is one I found by searching but not sure what to do to modify it. This will be for range AM2:AM2000
I'm looking for a formula that pulls the text from a cell unti it hits a space. I'm using the formula below but keep getting #VALUE results. B1: =LEFT(A1,FIND(",",A1,1)). I know it's not that hard but can't figure it out.
This is very similar to my previous post, which was solved. Now that I've extract the numbers, I need to extract the text for the specific work activities, for example 13Z or 9GGG. I'm assuming some variation on this formula:
I was able to get rid of the weird character [] with the =CLEAN(E11), where E11 had the problem character. but now where the [] used to be between to words the 2 words just show as 1. Example If the bad cell was just[]test the clean cell has justtest without a space between the 2 words. Since the spreadsheet is about 8,000 cells and has random [] characters is it possible to not just clean the bad characters, but add a space where they used to be all in one command?
I'm looking for a way to split a cell with text into two cells. The first cell can only contain up to 40 characters, the rest needs to go in the second cell. However, I don't want the text to be split in the middle of a word. So basically, if the text is in cell A1, I need to find the closest space to the left of position 40 in A1, and move anything to the right of this position to B1. Example:
Original text: A1: One green apple and a bucket of small onions that smell nice
I want to avoid this: A1: One green apple and a bucket of small on B1: ions that smell nice
I want to achieve this: A1: One green apple and a bucket of small B1: onions that smell nice
Automatically format a textbox on a userform so that it puts a space immediately before the last 3 characters, regardless of how many characters are put in?
I am looking a macro which should perform below activities
I have a lists of suppliers which needs to cleansed....
1.replace all the special characters with a space
2.replace Corporation with Corp Incorporation with Inc Limited with Ltd Limited partnership/ltd partnership with LP Company with Co ASSC/ASSOC with ASSOCIATION/ASSOCIATES (SEARCH SUPPLIER IN GOOGLE FOR THE CORRECT ONE) MGNT with MANAGEMENT SVCS with SERVICES DEPT with DEPARTMENT Unltd with UNLIMITED Ctr with CENTER UNIV with UNIVERSITY
3. Remove any text, Special characters and numbers after INC,CO, LTD, CORP,LLP, LLC
The macro should when I select any particular column... not restricted to column A
I want to write a macro that will check every selected cell. It should detect if there is a space after the fourth character. If there is a space, go to the next selected cell. If there is no space, add a space and go to the next selected cell.
Pretty sure this has been asked but have searched the forum to no avail, but I need to extract the numbers from a value which has a letter on the end.
eg. 1000x I need to get out the 1000 or 2p I need the 2
I have sooooo many values ranging in numbers of digits, so just basic left(A1,2) won't work, I'm sure I've seen a search or find function but don't know how to use them!
