Extracting Numbers From Text And Then Adding Together
Oct 28, 2006
I am using Excel to collate the averages for my cricket team. All the players are listed in column A, followed by their scores for each individual game throughout the year and ending with a total runs column for the season.
My problem arises when I have to give an indication that a player scored runs but was "not out", which impacts on the overall averages because a player who is not out is credited with the runs scored but not charged with an innings. So a player who made 15 not out is credited with "15no" in my workbook.
As a simple example: Player's name (Barry Smith) appears in A1, then his five scores: 23, 15no, 35, 125no, 2 in cells A2:A6. SUM($A2:$A6) entered in A7 ignores the cells that also include text (the "nos") and gives me a total of 60. Is there a formula I can enter in A7 to disregard the "nos" and just read the digits in those cells to come up with the grand total of 200? The run totals can be 1, 2 or 3 digits and I can split the "no" from the number (i.e. "15 no" instead of "15no") if this makes things easier.
I am trying to extract values from a text string and add them up in Excel 2007. So far i have been successful in extracting the value out of the text string like this - =MID(I6,AD6,3) where AD6 holds the position number in the text string to start from. So it's working OK for one row but i need to do the same thing on multiple rows where the text string can be in different columns and I'd like it to automatically pick up the non-blank cell.
each row only has one column with text in it and the value i need to extract is always after "$". this is a working spreadsheet so the text string could move from column to column over time and I'd like my formula to be able to detect which column to read from. I then need to add up all the values from each row.
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?
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?
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 have a woorkbook where I have a cell that has the following apperance:
12345678-ABCDEFG
The numbers can vary in length and as well as the text. What I am trying to do is to split this cell into to columns. Column 1 shows the account number, Column 2 should show the Text and the "-" sign should not be in any of the columns ie it should look something like this
Column1 Column2 12345678 ABCDEFG
I have found a useful function for the first part thanx to Mikerickson URL:Extract Numerical Data
Function midNumber(inputStr As String) As Double Dim i As Long For i = 1 To Len(inputStr) midNumber = CDbl(Val(Mid(inputStr, i))) If midNumber <> 0 Then Exit Function Next i End Function
But how do i seperate the text and how do Crete a macro that would loop through some 2000 rows and create a column A and B from Column A?
I have the following data in column b and I would like to extract into individual cells.
I would like to extract upto the first number, number text after first number etc
I have several rows and the data lengths are variable
Liverpool FC 2 Sheffield United 1 Manchester United 0 Everton FC 3 Middlesbrough 2 Manchester City 0 Norwich City 2 Chelsea FC 1 Oldham Athletic 1 Crystal Palace 1 Queens Park Rangers 3 Southampton 1
I have a text field which contains multiple numbers ( reference #s and phone #s). I need to extract the reference # which will be either a 7 or 8 digit number. That number will not fall in any particular place in the string.
I am trying to extract values from a text. I used macro to solve the problem. I was able to extract the numbers however i am trying not to extract all of the numbers in text. For example as you can see below, i am trying to get only 22.99 The only unique thing here can be $ sign i believe. I need to put a criteria that selects the number right after $ sign and extracts 5-6 decimals after that.
**work lamp/desk light led;orion8879 final price: $22.99 (store)** this is the text in a cell and i only need 22.99 not 8879)
Is there a way to add numbers when you have them in a cell treated as text?
For example, instead of writing the information in each cell by hand, I copy/paste the information to excel, but the format I get is this:
Cell A1: 25-35 Cell A2: 31-30 Cell A3: 2-12 etc.
In the above example, I am treating those cells as text because if I don't do it this way, some information will format it as dates. (For example, cell A3 it would read is 12-FEB (2-12), but it should be 2-12)
I want to add the values 25 + 31 + 2 = 58 and 35 + 30 + 12 = 77
Without using "Text to Columns" tab to separate the numbers in each cell?
I am working on making a time sheet log that will have employee name, 7 rows for days of the week and a row for total hours worked. each cell will either be blank in that row because employee has not worked that day or it will have numerical hours and the place the employee worked. We have many different job sites so text is subject to change. For example Monday employee 1 worked 8 hours at MRCR, so cell would state 8 MRCR Tuesday did not work so left blank. Wednesday worked 8 hours at CCR so will be 8 CCR. Thursday worked 8 hours at CU. so 8 CU in cell. Friday Saturday and Sunday left blank. How do i add create a formula that would be standard formula for each week for employee that would add numbers and omit text as well as ignore blank cells from week to week as the employee schedule changes.
If I have a row of data but ccasionally text is involved then I get the Error Message #valueI know if I enter sum(A1:A6) it works but if the values I wnat to add up arent next to each other it wont work i.e. I want sum(A1+C1+E1+L1+X1) but if any of the cells contain text I get the value error
Is there a way either by VBA or manually (preferably both, if possible) to actually unite the X amount of numbers that are in a cell given the contents is alphanumeric? I'll give you the following examples to see if you can understand what I' referring to?
DATA output should be asd67,h876 --------> 67876 2,3,ujdj5&34 -------> 23534 909k86m34 --------> 9098634
I import data from another program in order to evaluate it. Unfortunately, one of the fields I need contains copyright data, however, it has been very inconsistently entered into the database. For example, sometimes the data appears "c1999." or "-1999" or "" or "[1999]" or even "19?" and also sometimes "1999, 1990" and many other variations on that. I discovered the link in the excel help file about extracting numbers from alphanumeric strings, but my situation is still too variable for it to apply; that file didn't take into account that alphanumeric strings don't always lump numbers and letters together. I was able to correct a few things, but my command of excel isn't knowledgeable enough to really come up with something effective.
Some ideas I had that I don't know how to implement: is there a way to strip non-numerical characters from an alphanumeric string? (I've been doing some find/replaces to get rid of some of it, but that is obviously not very efficient when I have to repeat this process daily.) Perhaps then I could just detect the first 4 numbers of the string somehow. However, that doesn't solve the problem of when a wild card is used as in "199?" or "20?" etc.
Bottom line, I just need to grab the first four numbers that appear in the string (but NOT additional numbers that occur after a wild card or a space if the year was not completed in 4 numbers; in that case I'd just be happy with a null value).
I've been doing this with a formula so far. My only experience with macros has been in simply recording them, not actually writing them, but I'll give anything a try.
Below Macro which I am using to extract .PDF files. Now, I also want to see the Date moified while extracting the .PDF files. Hence, adding date modified to this macro.
Sub get_pdf_name() Dim FR As Long, sh As String, FPath As String, FName As String sh = Sheets("Sheet2").Name FR = Sheets(sh).Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row + 1
I have a name in Column A, and a number that goes with it in Column B. Some of the names on Column A are duplicates. I want to extract a new list that will add the values in Column B of all matching names on Column A, so that my list has only unique names and a total of the numbers in Column B.
if cell a1 is "3cash 5stock", i want to extract the number "3" to cell a2 and extract the number "5" to cell a3. the number in cash stock can vary between 1 to 8 and vice versa.
and return "400" but i've encountered a value which is negative (could be -$400, or ($400); and i got an error of #value, could anyone resolve this problem?
I would like to extract the digits below in red. The variables are the digits in all of the sections vary from a minimum of one digit to the maximum of three digits.
I play an online browser game and I've made a spreadsheet for tracking various aspects of the game.
I do okay with the simple formulas and can haphazardly get excel to do what I want it to do. But for a few things I want it to do, I've run into a wall...
Here is the first one:
In the game, I receive reports like this:
One of your fleets (Large Cargo:5 ) returns from [2:100:9] to Planet [2:101:13] . The fleet is delivering 58.679 Metal, 28.750 Crystal and 11.521 Deuterium.
I want to be able to copy that, and past it into A1. Easy enough, but here's the tricky part. I want excel to be able to automatically extract the numbers in front of metal, crystal, and deuterium into their own separate fieilds. So that in this instance B1 would display 58,670, C1 would display 28,750, and D1 would display 11,521.
The amounts can vary anywhere from 1 to 9,999,999 (but there will be no negative numbers), and in some cases the number would end in 0 (I've seen where that makes a difference in some formulas for some reason).
If it makes it easier, the copy/paste could be reduced to:
The fleet is delivering 58.679 Metal, 28.750 Crystal and 11.521 Deuterium.
I have not managed to find exactly what I am looking for so far..
I have cells with a mix of numbers and strings and I would like to extract certain numbers only.
I.E. 123a bcd8 acbd 1234e
I would like to only extract the first instance of numbers - so in example 1 - 123 and in example 2 - 1234. I have found various methods of extracting all numbers such as:
Function ExtractNums(r As String) As String 'Creates and returns a reference for a regular expression object With CreateObject("vbscript.regexp") 'Sets the pattern to be non-digits .Pattern = "D" 'We want to find all matching non-digits .Global = True 'Replace all non-digits with an empty string and return this value for the function ExtractNums = .Replace(r, "") End With End Function
I came up with a way to extract entire row corresponding to the highest number in L column and to post it in the different sheet.
I have 2 issues to solve though.
1. I need to extract only 13 ranges corresponding to the highest number in L column - ( A through M) - not entire row.
2. I need to do the same with the second and the third highest numbers of the same column L.
This is what I have so far:
Sub extract() Dim first As Range Set first = Range("L" & WorksheetFunction.Match(WorksheetFunction.Max(Columns("L")), Columns("L"), 0)) first.EntireRow.Select Selection.Copy Sheets("Result").Select Range("A1").Select Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormats, Operation:=xlNone, _ SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False End Sub
