Remove Front Zeros & Add Space Before Last 2 Characters

Jun 13, 2007

I want to remove the front zero(s) from the front and put a space before the last two letters for the following column of data in Excel:

0001MG
0020MG
0100MG
1000MG

Final result will have this format and the data are right aligned.
1 MG
20 MG
100 MG
1000 MG

The numbers can vary (e.g. 0150MG, 0025MG,etc.) but the arrangement is always the same: four figures for the first 4 characters and two letters for the last two characters.
The format of the cells containing the data is: “General”

My table has 7 columns and these data are in the 5th column in a worksheet called “ProductSummary”. The number of rows for the records can vary from 10 to over a couple of hundred.

How can I use VBA to: 1) automatically select the table range in that worksheet and reformat all the data in the 5th column.

=IF(SUM($F$4-$E$4)= 0," ",SUM($F$4-$E$4)) 'If the value is 0 then enter a space in the cell.

Finding Unwanted Characters In Cells

Aug 6, 2009

I'm having the following little problem, and i'm hoping that
someone here can help me solve it.

I have a number of rows containing data starting at row 1.
I already made VBA code which finds the last row containing data.
That row number is stored in the variable "LastRowWithData".

What i want to do now is the following.

In column B (in row 1 to the row number stored in "LastRowWithData"),
there are long code's which all have to be checked for unwanted characters.

Some of these unwanted characters are the "I" and "O" characters both in
upper case and lower case.

If these characters are found a messagebox has to appear, saying something
like "Illegal character found in cell ____".

If more than one cell containing unwanted characters are found, either more
messageboxes with the cell coordinates have to be displayed or one messagebox
displaying all the cell coordinates in which the unwanted characters are found.

Im planning to use a while - wend statement to check all cells for unwanted
characters. (While ActiveCell.Row LastRowWithData)

Is there a simple way to do this in (Excel 2003) VBA ?

Take X Characters From One Cell And Y Characters From The Next?

Aug 1, 2014

So we have people's names in a table. First name in one column and last name in another column. We have a 3rd column where we can use 8 characters to do a combination of First 5 of Last Name + first 3 of first name. However, if someone's last name is only 3 or 4 characters, we'd then want to take more from the first name to fill out the 8 characters.

So:
Charles Johnson -> Johnscha
John Smith -> Smithjoh
Willian Wu -> Wuwillia

What's the best way to do that without creating some crazy formula with tons of if/thens?
