Extracting Terms And Exponents Of A Text Poly Formula
Sep 18, 2009
1) This exercise would save me considerable time and would almost certainly eliminate the possibility of typing errors in preparing the input data file for another application.
2) My program requires each input multivariant equation to be specified as follows and in the same order:
--Number of Independent Variables, N (max 10)
--Number or Terms, M (max 20)
--Term 1: power of var 1
: power of var 2
: ..............
: power of var N
: coeff
--Term 2: power of var 1
: power of var 2
: ..............
: power of var N
: coeff
........................
--Term M: power of var 1
: power of var 2
: ..............
: power of var N
: coeff
3) It would be extremely helpful if I could type the equation (of up to 10 variables and up to 20 terms) in a cell on a w/s and automatically get the above particulars extracted and nicely tabulated in a column.
4) Simplified Example: (3 var & 4 terms).........................
I have thousands of data entries (each in their own row, all in one column) and need to separate the basic info. In the example below, say you want to isolate the Town names by entering a formula that can produce a TRUE or FALSE result. Is there a way to use the FIND function and a pool of terms to isolate cells that contain excess data (i.e.- produce a FALSE result for cells containing any words from a term pool like : "Police, Park, Power, Water, Community, Bakery, Grocery, Field, Garden, Post Office, School" etc... ) ?

example as text:
A2 = Springfield A3 = Springfield Police Department A4 = Springfield Community College A5 = Springfield Park Of Recreation A6 = Des Moines A7 = Des Moines Power & Water Company A8 = Des Moines Sunrise Bakery A9 = Des Moines Post Office A10 = Des Moines Grocery Store A11 = Lancaster A12 = Lancaster Baseball Field A13 = Lancaster Botanical Gardens
I'm pulling phone numbers out of text strings. There is text string ("Office:") indicating that the number following is an office number (the number that I need). MID and FIND take care of this. There are sometimes two instances of office numbers in single text string, so adding a second column using the third argument of FIND lets me start another search past the first instance of an office number. We have a bunch of office numbers with the qualifier "(Text)" after the original "Office" but before the phone number. How do I catch these ones?
What I have is a column of data(text) which contains amongst all the text three strings of text in ever cell in the column which I require copying into three adjoining cells
The data I require is :-
(a) The persons name which is always after the word ‘Requester’ e.g. Requester Steve Robinson
(b) Their office location which is directly after the persons name and is in brackets e.g. (Newcastle User)
(c) The Approving persons name which is preceded by ‘Approved by’ e.g. Approved by Christine Hunting
See examples 1 & 2 below

As you will appreciate the text in the cells is of non standard lenght and the three pieces of information can be located virtually any where in the text
Date: 17/09/2013 KO: 19:45 Ref: B Malone Att: 7,574 extraction of text from the above text string which is say in A1. What l need is for Date to go in A2, KO in B2, Ref in C2, & Att in D2. I'm using Excel 2003
Which filters my database to display only rows in which column J (10) equals "Cows", to display all rows that equal "Cow" and "Chicken" and "Giraffe" and "Cheetah"?
I have a situation where I need to highlight different customers based on what there terms of payment are. Conditions 1 and 3 seem to be working fine but for some reason condition 2 is not working at all. I made sure all names are exactly as listed in the A2 cell....
I'm writing a macro to search for letters A to Z in one spreadsheet, and copy it's associated data into another spreadsheet where A to Z already exist.
What if, one day, "A" does not exist in the source data? If say, the data started at "B", because there were no results for "A". Currently, the macro will stop working if it attempts to search for a value that doesnt exist.
How do I make it, for example, Search for "A", find that "A" doesnt exist, then skip to Searching for "B", and then "C" and so on?
I have, for my formula, 2 constant values a and x, I then also have a variable, n. The formula I'm trying to convert into excel terms is SIGMA (with respect from 1 upto n) ((1-x)^(1-n) * x)*a. Unfortunatly thats not drastically inteligable so i've attached a picture file that should explain it in more understandable terms. Now the problem im having is, sigma is a cummulative funtion, which in this example is relative to the variable n, firstly I don't know what formulas I would have to use in order to get a sigma/summination function, and secondly I am uncertain of how to link it to a variable range.
I have created a dictionary with technical terminology. It is in excel format with about 10,000 entries. The format of my dictionary ("Sheet1") is in three columns:
<vocabulary term> <pronunciation> <definition>
Now, I want to create vocabulary lists using my dictionary. The newly typed up vocabulary list (which only has the term, but not pronunciation or definition), will be copy and pasted into "Sheet2".
The "Sheet2" typed up vocabulary list is in the format:
<vocabulary term 1> <vocabulary term 2> etc...
I want to run a macro or script to dictionary terms (including pronunciation and definition) from "Sheet1" and put them into my vocabulary list "Sheet2".
I would like to create a code that would summarize any day of the year in numerical terms.
The formula for coding "days" is as follows:
Coding Month value + current day
Where "coding month" was a combination of the year and month.
The year can be summarized as a fixed value:
2007 yr = 4 2008 = 5 2009 = 6
Ignore anything prior to 2007 and anything after 2009.
The month is simply a SINGLE digit to represent the month and where January=1, feb=2, march=3......Sept=9. Once you hit October, you have to reduce the values to a single digit, so October = 10 = 1+0=1, November =11=1+1 =2, December = 12 = 1+2=3
Now, comes the addition of the individual day to the mix. If you wanted to find the value for May 23, 2007
You know that May 2007 is 5+4 = 9 so adding the 23rd day is 2+3=5 therefore 9 + 5 = 14. Right?
Not really...
Before reducing this final number down further, there are some double digit numbers that DO NOT get reduced further. They are:
a. 13,14,16,19 b. 11,22,33,44,55,66,77,88,99
These numbers have to be left as is. So, today, May 23, 2007 would be left as a "14"
Two more examples:
May 24, 2007 = 5+4+ 24 = 5+4+2+4 = 15 = 6 July 17, 2007 = 7 + 4 + 17 = 7+4+1+7 = 19 = left as 19
Final thought - It would be helpful, though not necessary, to have a notation besides these double digits. If series "a" could have a "KD" next to it and series "b" could have a "MN" next to it,
this function I manage to select the result in terms of the objectives of the product code. and I need to search for a piece of the product code. The results will be the same in accordance with fragments but not the exact code.
ex. A2 = 10/1/2005: with the formula up there it turns into Fall 2005 i want to be able to add any number of years and the formula will still come up with the quarters system
also i would like A2 to be stationary and create a list of quarters for each year i add on
I have a meeting name in column A that also includes a meeting #. The meeting number is always enclosed in parentheses and is at the end of the meeting name. There could also be information enclosed in parenthesis in name. I want to extract just the meeting # from the name. Also, the length of the meeting number could change. Here is an example of a 3 meeting names:
Example 1: March Madness (FY2008) Boston (8765) I would want just 8765 to be extracted Example 2: Year End Planning Audit (11567) I would want just 11567 to be extracted
How can I extract just that the meeting number from these meeting names.
How do I open a text file, read all the lines from said text file & extract a value in the form of a string. For ex., if I know that a certain line in the file might contain this text: Market Value=1234, then I would like to extract the value 1234 (the text Market Value is a constant) from that line & dumps it into a cell in the Excel file.
I need to separate text information from a cell into 3 columns (W,9-8). The first letter I know how to extract. The problem is to extract the number in the middle (1 or 2 digit) between "," and "-" and also the last number. For the last number I could use right() function but the problem is that number could be 1 or 2 digits so I can not specify in advance so formula would have to extract the last number till "-". Anyone knows how to do this?
Need formula to extract the text from a cell, with which a vlookup will be preformed on? For example if a cell contains: 116PH(604052) I would need to perform a vlookup on the PH.
The problem is that the "PH" in this case can vary where it's at in the string of numbers. Also, some cells may only have a three digit number with the two letters following. See my attached spreadsheet as an example. The current formula I have in column A on the attached spreadsheet performs the vlookup fine if there is only the three digit number followed by the two letters, but as I've outlined above, this isn't sufficient.
I need a formula that will extract #s, some of which appear as a range, from many cells. The #s/range of #s will not be in the same text location for every cell & “text to columns” converts some of the ranges to date format which is bad. Below is an example of some of the data that may appear. The only constant is that the first name is only the initial w/a period, but there may be a Jr. or Sr. thrown in occasionally.
I currently have an issue with sorting data that i download into excel.
I have a list of rows that have text that look something like the below:
redeem: 141BA9835E Colour: Silver
I want to copy only the colour at the end of each of the colours into a new cell. So in theory the formula will pick only the colour out. Below is a list of more rows as an example where it changes slightly:
redeem: C3CC237E3C Colour: Silver
redeem: db56b2177c Colour: Pink
redeem: 7d3fe7eba2 Colour: Black
redeem: EBE56BDA7A Colour: Silver
To summarise have can i extract into the cell next door, only the colours from text
Currently i am having to manually type only the colour into a cell, and it is taking forever when you have 1000's or rows
I need help extracting numbers from text. In column A, I have a list containing entries like this:
0005 Nurseries — propagation and cultivation of nursery stock 0016 Orchards — citrus and deciduous fruits 0034(1) Poultry Raising 0034(2) Sheep Raising and Hog Farms 0035 Florists — cultivating or gardening
The list goes on for about 800 rows.
In column J, I have this forumula:
{=LEFT(A1,MATCH(2,1/ISNUMBER(MID(A1,ROW(A2:A100)-ROW(A1),1)*1)))} It works great, except the result includes the left parenthesis: for example, J3 = "0034(1". Is there a way to obtain just the numeric value ("00341")?
Also, is there another formula I can use in column K that will do the opposite and extract only the text? For example: K1 = "Nurseries — propagation and cultivation of nursery stock" and K3 = "Poultry Raising".
I am trying to extract a partial string from a cell. There are 2 lines in each cell seperated by ALT + Enter
Example: GREAT SOUTHERN ROAD GUNDAROO QLD 7012
What I want to do is extract only the first line of the text and put it into the next column. I've tried using the FIND, SUBSTITUTE formula, but because the 1st line of the address varies in length, it seems to cause more problems than it solves.
I need to extract the text from a string that is always less the last three digits. For example if A1 is abcdefg I always have to take off "efg" and extract the rest of it to the left but the length of the string can vary. I can be dirty and record a macro where I find the length, subtract 3 and then using the LEFT worksheet function can get my result, but when I come to try to convert that to VBA. What is the VBA equivalent of LEFT worksheet function and how would I go about using LEN in conjuntion with subtracting 3 from it?
If I have a cell that contains a sentence and part of a date, for example "delivery due 01/09", I would like a formula that reads that cell, identifies the 01/09 bit and returns 01/09/2014.
The only trouble is that the date would always be variable, so it's more a case of "delivery due #/#"... if that's even possible.
I have a text file with a long list of data that simply needs to be extracted under separate columns in excel. Below is one sample out of a long list. Here is sample data and the format of the text ... ----------------------------------------------------------- ABC MORTGAGE LLC 232 23RD ST STE A BAKERSFIELD, CA 93301 KERN County
Title II Approval Date: Dec 08, 2007 [11 Areas Approved for Business] HECM: No Originates 203K: No Telephone: (343) 633-1234 FAX Number: (343) 632-1330 E-Mail Address: chadlow3@aol.com ------------------------------------------------------------
In excel I need to have these columns, Company Name, Address, Phone, Fax, and Email. I need to pull the data out of the text file automatically and insert it into these columns. The other information in the sample such as approval date is not needed. How do I do this?
I have a few hundred rows of text in the fomat below: 1.23456 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. The “x’s” represent text which is unique to each row. what the formula I need to extract the number (1.23456) at the start of the string? To complicate things the number may be reported to any number of decimal places, so the formula needs to be able to extract the first block of digits at the start of each row and report it as a number that can be used in calculations.
