I have a bunch of phone numbers that I'm trying to reformat.
Say I wanted to replace any phone number like this: 1##########

How can I create a vlookup function to automatically retrieve phone numbers off switchboard.com using my current mailing list?
I have a list of more than 4,000 of my customers. I want to ad in phone numbers automatically. I currently have the first and last name in one column. The address, city, state and zip are all each in their own column.
I have never use vlookup before, nor have I ever used excel other than for data entry. What is the easiest and most efficient way to do this?
I searched this site and seen vlookup mentioned for this type of automatic data entry. There may be another way or method I am not aware of.

View 8 Replies View RelatedHey Have a spreadsheet with about 150 worksheets in.
In Column B of each worksheet is a list of packages
e.g.
Value Added Processing
Business Viability
Environment
Climate Change
I need to add into that other cells to further divide those packages so it will end up looking like
Value Added Processing
GA001
GA003
Business Viability
GA005
GA032
GA065
Environment
GA023
Climate Change
GA030
GA029
I have a separate worksheet which has the 37 different package types along ROW A from Column A to Column AH, then going down underneath each of the heading is the various code numbers as shown above.
Has anyone got a VBA code which will allow excel to search the worksheets, find the package name and then replace it with the package name but also insert the code numbers below it.
I have a column of invoice numbers, formatted as text, some of which have first character "0" & last character "C" e.g. "012345C". I want to get rid of the "C" leaving e.g. "012345".
I have tried Find "C" / Replace " " with the undesirable result being that the leading "0" disappears too. Find "5C" replace "5" gives the same.
I am using VBA to enter customer information into a Microsoft SQL database. I have an excel sheet with thousands of customers listed. I will be using a While loop to process each line of the sheet. Part of the While loop needs to make any format changes necessary before the data moves over to the DB. So here is the issue:
How do I turn the following phone numbers:
(410) 273-9200
910-944-1232
276 623 4254
410 612 1100 Rob
(413) 786-1636 Cindy
1-800-783-4661
304) 842-5491 Sherry
Into a uniform layout? I would prefer ###-###-####
Each of the numbers above is an example from the list I have. There may be more variations (I have over 20 seperate lists to process, with over 10000 customers per list)
I imagine I need some process that will remove all character except numbers and then break the numbers up to add the hyphens back in at the appropriate places.
Just got an answer to my phone number problem of converting two columns of numbers
to a single columns with the form XXX-XXXXXXX. Used =A1 & "-" & B1.
Works perfectly one one spread sheet and not at all in another.
When I enter the formula and hit return, instead of the correct result, all I get is the formula.
The format of the columns is the same on both spread sheets.
Formatting existing phone number. I want to remove first 2 digit from the column with 11 digit phone number ?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI came up with this formula trying to fix phone number but it’s not working properly
FORMULA:
=TEXT(LEFT(SUBSTITUTE(a1, "-", "") & "00##", 10), "###-###-00##")
So basically I need a formula or macro that will fix the phone number for me.
Here is an example
78512312 it should be like this 785-123-0012
Or
785123123 it should be like this 785-123-0123. So if Len is 8 numbers long then insert two zeros counting from right to left. So if Len is 9 numbers long then insert one zeros counting from right to left.
I have thousands of phone numbers that hundreds of them are look like this:
123456-8 that means : 123456,123457,123458 or this
123456-57 that means : 123456,123457
There are not any standard of numbers after dash (-) in my data.
how can I expand them to new "rows"?
bob 123456-8 ->
bob 123456
bob 123457
bob 123458
I'm trying to simplified these numbers so each one only consists 8 numbers from the right w/out the blank space or +,-.

I have a list of mobile phone numbers from various countries. However, I do not know which country each entry is from. Ideally I would like to have a macro that looks at each number, compares to a global list of PSTN structure to determine which part of the phone number is the country code (generally the first 1-3 digits), and then put the country in a separate column.
I am certain all numbers are formatted correctly, so it is only a matter of finding out which part is the country code and putting a value for the country.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have taken over this spreadsheet for my work, and it is basically a statement in excel. What I want to do is find a list of invoice numbers in column B populated from a remittance, and then replace column F to say a specific thing depending on check number and date paying for that invoice. So if a check printed today I would have it replace column f to say paid 1/31/13 check # xxxxx. Currently I am searching for each invoice indivudually and then replacing with check number and date. There are about 200 invoices per month that I deal with, and it is a big waste of time!
For example from this
invoice #1 / reconciled (DATE)
invoice #2 / reconciled (DATE)
To this:
invoice #1 / paid (DATE) check # (xxxxx)
invoice #2 / paid (DATE) check # (xxxxx)
I am looking for a formula to count the number of valid mobile phone numbers in a list and the number of valid email address in another list, 2 different formulas.
The mobile phone number formula would count the number of indervidual mobile phone numbers in a list that contain 077 and 078 and 079.
The email formula would count the number of indervidual email addresses in a list that contain ...........@..........dot com or .............@............dot co dot uk
Both lists may contain random junk text, like in the email list some one may have entered words like 'no email address' etc.
I have several text boxes on a 'picture' which is the format for a business review. The text boxes are linked to cells behind the picture which picks up company names, cities etc...
Two of the boxes have a phone# and date
The linked cells are formatted correctly but obviously the text boxes, pick up the 'values' not the formats.
is there any way for the textboxes to show the values with the proper format i.e.,
xxx-xxx-xxxx
mmm yyyy
This problem has come up fairly frequently lately, and I'm not sure how to fix it, or if this is by design...but in Excel 2003 I can't seem to do a "Find and Replace" based on the value of a cell. I can do a find, based on cell value, but the moment I change to the replace tab, the "values" and "comments" are missing from the "look in" dropdown.
I've only noticed this when I'm trying to replace on a filtered list, so I'm not sure if that is part of the issue.
Perhaps an alternative way of arriving at the same goal. Basically I have a worksheet with a number of filtered columns. They are filtered just right, using custom filtering, and so I do not want to undo the filters. In some columns I have formulas that are returning #VALUE! errors. I'd like to replace all of these cells with NA.
I have to take a range of phone numbers that I have to port from another carrier and manually type them out or copy into another speadsheet, removing duplicate numbers. For example, I have the following numbers:
55532821055553282108
78132821235553282123
55532821625553282163
The results on the next spreadsheet need to be:
5553282105
5553282106
5553282107
5553282108
7813282123
5553282162
5553282163
I am looking for a way to automate this process.
I recently became owner of a spreadsheet with some issues, and I am trying to make it useful. Each row has a URL of a blog post, and I want to extract the date from it (which is present in each URL) while getting rid of the rest of the URL. I was able to get rid of everything up to the year (which comes first), but then the URL continues, for example, 2013/05/16/the-rest-of-the-url/ and I would like to just have 2013/05/16 remain.
I am trying to use find and replace with the find box reading 2013/??/??/*/ and replacing it with 2013/??/?? which effectively erases everything else in the url, but leaves ?? instead of the numbers. Is there any way to have it so that it keeps whatever was in the original box?

Trying to repeat a 550 or so character statement with a find/replace however I am getting type mismatch errors. When I use a smaller message in the "replace" it works.
I need it to post a message exactly as long as what I have in there. How do I get it to work?
Need assistance with the code for catching errors when using the find / replace function in excel? In particular, I am trying to write code to break to an error message when the value or string searched for isn't found in the find / replace. At the minute I have just copied the standard code using a macro and all this does is return a message box saying X entries replaced.

I've read a lot of tutorials on how to use pivot tables, but found them either too basic, or too advanced, and never finding any example of what I am looking to do.
I have a database, column A holds names, and column B their phone numbers. I'd like to generate a list of unique names and their associated telephone numbers. I figure I can use a pivot table to do this.
But I do not quite understand how to format the pivot table to put the name in one column and the phone number in the next. I will use this pivot table as a vlookup range. I assume I can do this.
