Excel 2007 - Windows XP
I have the below in cells A1 and A2. I need to find the last comma then return all characters after it. I need the same formula for both cells because the value is always changing.
HUG,PU-TUB,BW,-,-,64 Need to Return 64 in B1
HUG,PU-RFL,BW,-,-,176 Need to Return 176 in B2
Comma separated data on sheet 2, look up info on sheet 1, return comma separated data on sheet 2.
Sample file attached : Book1.xlsx
I currently have a macro that imports data from a web-based query then deletes column A from the query. I do this because I am using a VLOOKUP on the data and the VLOOKUP value would be in column B if I didn't.
The website has changed the format and now once column A is deleted, I'm left with a format of FirstName LastName, POS TEAM (i.e. Tom Brady, QB NEP). My VLOOKUP looks for FirstName LastName so I'm getting the "N/A" error now. I need to remove the "," and "POS" and "TEAM" from the imported data. This would be easy enough if the number of characters right of and including the comma was consistent, but it isn't. (Also, text to columns then CONCATENATE won't work because VLOOKUP looks at values, not formula results...)
Now I know the formula =LEFT(A1,FIND(",",A1)-1) works, but how would I incorporate this into the worksheet to keep the values in column A and not add additional columns to throw off my VLOOKUP.
Ideally I'd like a simple macro to add to my current macro to use the above formula, but I'm not sure of the wording.
For example the cell contains 1,M2,M7,M1,M8:2,M15,M9,M4,M5:3,M3,M6,M14,M11,M12:4,M10,M13 and I need to create M1, M2 , M3 ..etc columns and attach the coresponding number to each one of them. For instance M2,M7,M1,M8will get 1 and so forth and so on. I was acutally thinking using the Notepad to replace the , with a TAB space and paste them back in to my data set and create some IF statements. On the other hand running VBA scrip would make it even easier. However I would preffer to use a function (that I am not 100% familiar with) and leave the VBA scrip out of the question for the moment.

I am trying to vlookup multiple value and return multiple values in one cell
I have the name bloggs, Joe in cell A1. Is there away to flip the name around and get rid of the comma.
i.e. Joe Bloggs
I have a spreadsheet in which I use a match function to find the row a name is on. The name may be listed several times and the name has a comma in it, for example, "Tom, George". I got it to work once, but it doesn't always work. Is it because of the comma or because it is in the lookup several times? It's my understanding the Excel will return the row number for the first time it sees the name in the list, which is what I want.
View 9 Replies View RelatedWhen the entry in a cell is of the format e.g 3,4 is there any way to find the value 3 or 4 in that cell?
Attempts like:
Cells(i, 1).Value = variable (e.g variable=3)
or
Set cell_found = Cells.Range("A1:A10").Find(variable, lookat:=xlWhole)
do not find the cell with the 3 (or 4). The above work fine when 3 or 4 are alone in the cell. Is there anyway to find these values in the cell?
Table A: I have data separated by coma & space in cells A1:A4
A: Data Table
*A110, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60
211, 21, 31, 41, 51, 70
316, 19, 37, 48, 59, 81
418, 23, 33, 42, 57, 78
Table B: I want to calculate difference between cells A1:A2, A2:A3 and so on…
And if it is possible as shown in cell B2:B4
B: Result Table
*AB110, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60
211, 21, 31, 41, 51, 70
+1, +1, +1, +1, +1, +1
316, 19, 37, 48, 59, 81
+5, -2, +6, +7, +9, +11
418, 23, 33, 42, 57, 78
+2, +4, -4, -6, -2, -3
Separating cells A1:A4 data in separate cells can do this.
But if it is possible solution can be done as shown by VBA will be greater.
I am trying to extract some data based on two criteria. The first is that one row cell value is greater in than an agreed date/time, in my case this is 7:00am yesterday. The second is that the first 5 characters of a second cell, in the same row but several columns along, are not equal to 'Monit'. If both of these are met then the code will strip out several cells of data from that row.
I can do the first and last parts of this but the 5 characters check is proving a little more difficult in my limited VBA knowledge. The second cell is simple text format and I can't do a LEFT equation in a different cell to get those 5 characters (restricted workbook range so no room). how to go about running a check? I'm thinking it's probably quite simple but trying to search for an answer to it is tricky.
Is there any way to insert a carriage return after each instance of a character? I have a section of data that requires a carriage return after each instance of -v eg:
View 8 Replies View Relatedhow I would go about referencing a cell on another worksheet to return only the last so many characters from the data in that cell. EG:
Sheet 1 cell A3 contains the number (stored as text) 12345678
Sheet 1 cell A4 contains the number (stored as text) 98765432
On Sheet 2 I want to put into cell B2 5678 (the last four characters from the data in Sheet 1 A3.) Also on Sheet 2 I want to put into cell B3 5432.
IF there is a whole number in either column a, b or c, I need to have column e reflect that with the insertion of a / for each column that has a whole number. i.e.
Column - A - B - C - D - E
3 4 / /
5 6 9 / / /
I am attaching a copy of the spreadsheet showing the examples, I can't seem to get the function to work.
I have two columns that have similar information. I want to copy the unique information from one cell to a third, blank cell. In my case cells d2 and cell e2 are almost identical except cell d2 has addition information. I want to copy that information into cell f2. I have a feeling I am making this harder than it needs to be.

The greek alphabet contains letters that are common to the english one (A,B,E,Z,H,I,K,M,N,O,P,T,Y,X) and records with mixed characters will cause me problem. What can I do to find and replace any of those letters with the greek version of the letter.
example:

Is there a way with the following formula to tell it that if value return is = to value of cell above then find return next value?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI download several sets of data from an internet site. The only way I can do this is to copy and paste into Excel. The problem is, that all of the cells with numbers in them show up as text, and when I press F2, I find that there is a blank space at the end of each number.
Find and replace, searching for a blank space does not work - Excel "cannot find any data to replace". That function does work on cells in which I have created my own space at the end of a number, but not on these numbers. That leads me to believe that that "blank space" is actually some other invisible character that I need to be searching for. I've attached a bit of my data - maybe somebody else can identify my phantom character.
To get around this, I have been using the formula =(left(A1,len(A1)-1), and that works, it's just that it is a pain to create another table of 20-some columns with this formula, then copy those to values, then for each column convert text to columns to change the text to values, then search and replace for #value! where the original cells were blank.
The background to my problem is that I'm trying to create a unique dictionary for a game I'm programming. I have imported the dictionary into Excel and need to manipulate it with the following conditions:
Word length can only be 3-5 characters longWord cannot contain special characters like hyphen or apostropheWord cannot have repeated characters
I got the first two criteria done using pretty brute for methods. The first using the LEN function to find words greater than 2 and those less than 6 and then comparing those two lists to get the list of 3-5 character words. The second I did manual search for characters and replaced them with six random characters so they would fail criteria 1 and be filtered out.
The last one I'm having problems figuring out. The game I'm programming only lets you use a letter once. So words like "dad" (or coincidentally enough "mom") would not be valid.
Is there a way I can look at the words in the cell and see if any character is repeated and then act upon that (e.g., copy to another column if no letters are repeated)?
Is it possible to find the location of different characters in a string (using VBA)? Normally I would use InStr of InStrRev option in VBA but my situation is a little more complicated.
The character I am looking for is not always the same, sometimes it is a , or a . or a : or a "blank" etc
I tried to do it like:
dim strChar as string
strChar = "[,.? /]"
SearchPosition = InStr ("cell location", strChar) (searchposition is the name of the function I am trying to make)
This works if I define only 1 character, this way it gives me a 0 as outcome
I have tried to change it to strChar = "[,]" or strChar = "[.]" or strChar = "[ ]" but this doesn't work.
I need help with a formula (no VBA) that will find all the semi-colons ";" and pound signs "#" in a cell and replace them with this "<br> - ".
Example of Cell A1: ;#Red;#Green;#Blue;#
I started with this:
=REPLACE(MultChoice,SEARCH(";#",MultChoice),1,"<br> - ")
but it only replaces the first character.
I basically want to find and replace certain characters in a formula, but the formula is quite intricate so I will give some background to the problem first:
I have a complex spread sheet which is used to check if a data array matches another data array (both data arrays are different sizes). One array has a set of parameters for a variable and the other array has the variables and the actual values for each variable. I have a section with the following formulas to check if the actual value (C121&D121) matches the parameters ($A$9:$A$108, $B$9:$B$108) & ($C$9:$C$108, $D$9:$D$108)
I have the following formula in cell AB121:
=(C121=INDEX($B$9:$B$108,ROW(101:101)-INT(ROW(100:100)/$D$1)*$D$1))
In cell AC121:
=(D121=INDEX($D$9:$D$108,ROW(101:101)-INT(ROW(100:100)/$D$1)*$D$1))
And have similar formulas from AD121 to AY121. I mention this to point out that excel regards this as an inconsistent formula, I haven't copied and pasted it over, I have had to re-enter it in each cell adjusting the parameter sections.
The problem I have is that currently this is set up to check through a data set and wrap around every 100 rows ('100' Entered in $D$1) but I want to adjust the formula when there is a different amount of rows to check. So basically the only way I can think to be able to do this is to have a formula or something in VBA (which I have very low level experience with) to be able to go into the formula and change certain characters within the formula. For example, if I wanted to check 95 rows instead of 100, it would need to have 95 in $D$1, which I enter in manually, but then how to go in and replace (101:101)-INT(ROW(100:100) with (96:96)-INT(ROW(95:95) in 2 sections in the 1 formula then do the same with the inconsistent formula from AC121:AY121?
How I can change this formula to find the first 3 characters of a text string?
Instead of using numbers in column A, it will be Names, I need the user to enter only the first 3 characters of the name and then display the results, (Meaning that all others irrelaavnt rows will be hidden.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI need to make a macro that will find text between "o/" and "/", remove hyphens from the text it found, and then add it to the end of the current cell contents.
I know how to add to the end of current cell contents, but cannot figure out how to grab text between certain characters or replace hyphens and replace with spaces.
I'm faced with receiving data for time, in a text format, as follows:
Example of possible cell contents...
20secs
40m20secs
2h40m20secs
I'm not interested in the secs value but need to isolate the h (hours) and m (mins) values to use in another formula as numbers. The time could be shown in either of the above formats with either; (a) just secs, (b) mins & secs or (c) hrs, mins & secs... and of course the hours or mins values could be 1 or 2 digits in length. How can I determine (using formula only, not vba) what the values for hours and/or mins are dependent upon what is present?
Is there a way to force Excel to look at only the first characters in a field when searching?
If I use:
MySearch = Range("C3").Value
Cells.Find(What:=MySearch, After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt _
:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:= _
False, SearchFormat:=False).Activate
It will find any instance of the characters entered in C3; however, I want it to find only fields that START with those characters. E.g. if I enter TRA in the search box it will come up with CITRATE when I want TRACLEER, etc.
