Count Number Of Cells Between Recurring Cell In A Column
Aug 15, 2012code that will count the number of cells under a "title cell" that is recurring in a column, and then divide the result by 2. The result will then be displayed in another column preferably aligned to the "title cell" (in this case "Items") in column A.
For example:
Before code is applied
A1: Items
A2: Items
A3: four-legged
A4: dog
A5: two-legged
A6: chicken
A7: Items
A8: four-legged
A9: cat
[code]....
After code is applied to column A
A1: Items B1: 0
A2: Items B2: 2
A3: four-legged
A4: dog
A5: two-legged
A6: chicken
A7: Items B7: 1
A8: four-legged
A9: cat
[code]....
Finding Nth Occurrence Of Zero And Non-Zero Character
Aug 24, 2012Let's say I have numeric nonzero and zero data in A2:X2. How do I find the first, second, third, second-to-last, last occurrence of a nonzero or zero value. I am able to find the first nonzero value by using Match(true, A2:X20, 0) to find the relative position, and then using index to find the value. This method also works with the first zero value, but I can't seem to find how to do the second, third, nth occurrence.

Jun 11, 2014I have a cell that has approx 22000 characters. I'm trying to remove a specific character string from a cell by doing a find and replace with "". It works for characters in the first part of the cell but not for characters in the last part of the cell.
Example: I do a find/replace for the characters 21242 to "" in column A and I get the expected results. I do a find/replace on 69294 to "", again I get the expected results, but if I do a find/replace on 85203 to "", I get "Excel cannot find what I am searching for" (but its there!)
My cell size is within the max size of 32,767 characters so not sure why its not working.

View 9 Replies View RelatedFinding Character Duplicates In Two Lists
Jul 19, 2012I have two lists of numbers.
The first list contains site numbers of people who havent responded to me.
The second list is the master list of site numbers along with a column showing the date they responded.
Now, a site number is built like this:
123456/0001
123456/0002
So it is possible for the same 6 digits to appear more than once in the master list.
What I need to do is to compare the first 6 digits in the non responder list against the master list, because some sites, like the example above, may have more than one '0001' tag and so if they have responded to me from site '0002' I dont want to spam their other sites with emails.
I've tried using match and various formulas I've found from google etc, but nothing seems to work!
The goal of this is to get a list of non respondents that have not responded from any of their sites listed in the master list.
Non Responses
Master List
Date of Response
203289/0001
201162/0003

VBA Function For Finding A Character In A Text String
Mar 12, 2008Is there a function in VBA that is similar to either the FIND function or SEARCH function in Excel? The arguments for the FIND function in Excel are FIND(find_text, within_text, [position]).

Finding Special Character In TXT File And Displaying Message?
Jul 19, 2013want a way to find out any special character in text file (.txt).
The .txt file I use is very large about 100 mb to 1GB. I need to find a way to write vba code that asks for input text file and the validates it and gives the message that following special characters are present in the file. Also, it gives their column number and row no's, where they are located.
The characters which needs not treated as special characters are numbers (0-9), alpha (A-Z) and special characters (@,-,%,$,+,=).

Finding A Non Numeric (or Numeric) Character In A Field
Sep 1, 2008I have a few thousand products codes (i.e ABCD123BLA08 or SHU267BLA) They are non standardised in length or structure. I wish to pull out everything upto the end of the third numeric digit.( ie ABCD123 and SHU267) I cannot use left as they are all different lengths. Ideally i would serach for a non numeric char after the number then use left up to that point. Search can't do this, FIND can't do this.
Summary
ABCD123BLA08 would be ABCD123
SHU246BLU would be SHU246
I147ORT08-12 would be I147
Recurring Formula For New Records
Feb 21, 2008I have an Excel table. Each row is a separate record. The user types in new records at the end of the table. One of the columns in the table contains a formula. Ideally the formula should apply for each cell in the entire column. Since I don't know how long the table will end up being, I simply ask that the user drag the formula down from the cell above. I do not want the user to accidentally change the formula though. At first I thought a Custom validation with a secret word that the user is unlikely to type in, would keep the user from changing the formula already in the cell. However, I can't stop the user from deleting the formula, which doesn't help. I then thought maybe locking (protecting with password) the column would do the trick. However, now the user can't drag down the formula from the cell above. I would therefor like help with one of 2 options:
1- have the formula apply to the cell automatically as a new record is created (ideal)
2- find a way to protect the cell so that the user can copy the formula down, but not change or delete it
I did find the following code online, which appears to go some ways to answer my first option, though I can't figure out why it only works if the formula is in column A (i.e. I have formulas in columns A, B, K, L, and AF to DL).

Recurring Due Date For Annual Event?
Jun 28, 2014I'll try to be as concise yet informative as possible. In the included attachment you will find a list of names in column A. These names have each have an event that is due at the end of his/her month, once annually. The due month for each person is listed in column B. Once that person completes the event, it is recorded in column C. The event will then not be due until the following year by the end of their due month.
I need column D to reflect the last day of their due month.
This date will change once the event is completed and recorded in column C. There are of course a few additional requirements that puts this out of my ability. They are listed below:
The person may complete the event at any time within three months of their due month. So if Tom's due month is September, he may complete the event anytime in July, August, or September. This would then need to reset the "Due by" date (column D).
If the person does not complete the event, the original "due by" date should not change until the event is completed.
Last note: this attachment is from Excel for Mac, The actual sheet this will be used on will be windows (so no worries about the formula changes for Mac).

Summing By Recurring Cell Number
Jul 25, 2012I have a spreadsheet with two columns of data. Column A consists of identifying 6-digit numeric code and column B is the dollar value associated with the code in column A. There are numerous cases where the column A code is repeated, but with a different dollar value in column B. The column A value could be repeated two, three, or many times. What formula could I use to create a new set of columns that rolls up the instances of recurrence?
Sample included.

Add Character Into Empty Cells
Apr 10, 2008I've got a worksheet from a contact details with some empty cells in it, since not everyone has fax number or POBOX, therefore that particular cell is left empty.
Is there any way to replace or put a "-" dash character or whatever into that empty cell so that the exported CSV file is not left with too many trailing commas ?
I'm looking forward for the reply.
[this CSV is to be use by Exchange Server 2007 Powershell script to import Mail-Contact from a CSV file, that's why not all of the contact entity has the parameter defined]
Excel 2007 :: How To Associate Recurring Name In One Column
Dec 3, 2011Using Excel 2007, how can I associate a recurring name in one column with one and the same number in another?
Ex.: "Jones" in C8 = "1" in G8
"Smith" in C9 = "1.5" in G9
"Williams" in C10 = "2.5" in G10
I hope my question is clear enough.
Multiple Recurring Events In Rows And Columns?
Feb 2, 2012I would like to create a calendar within excel that would be linked to a series of recurring events. Those events are happening every 15 days, and expected to occur for a period of up to 15 months (so 30 times in a row). We have about 1000 events, each named with an ID code (a01,a02,a03...) We have a database that contains the id code, the date of first manipulation and the recurring dates after that, this file is updated daily, as some schedule might have been moved 1 day as it is meant to be flexible. The difficulty being that a single day may have up to 50 events, hence 50 ID code.
The database (Sheet DB) is organized as follows first row for the headings, data starting from row 2 till row 1205.
Column A is blank
Column B is for the Department ID (Drop Down Menu).
Column C is for the ID code
Column D for the first date (encoded by coordinator).
Column E and forth (AF) for the due dates (formula based on column B).
Now for some instance we have events up to column CC (schedule is flexible and prone to change).
Due dates are linked and will update themselves automatically if any previous date is modified.
For the result (Sheet Cd), the Coordinator needs to see for a specific date all ID codes due for manipulation.
Cd is arranged as follows:
Column A is blank
Column B is the date range that is from 7 days prior today() (row 2) till today()+30 days (row 39).
Column C to BN is supposed to allow the coordinator to see a whole month schedule, due events of manipulation, and monitor past week schedule (in case of delayed manipulation as I stated a possibility of schedule being moved). If this would work, the coordinator would need not update the summary but merely update the database.
A conditional formatting with the formula $A2=TODAY() as condition in order to highlight the present day (faster to spot) is used.
The formula used in C2 is as follows:
=IFERROR(INDEX(DB!$B$2:$B$459, SMALL(IF(Cd!$B2=DB!D$2:D$459, ROW(DB!D$2:D$459)-MIN(ROW(DB!D$2:D$459))+1, ""), ROW($A$1))),"")
I stopped at row 459 here, but eventually it should go to row1205. Above formula being an array is entered as "command+ return" (using a mac, excel v14.1.4).
I was hoping to have each corresponding ID code returned for a specific date regardless of their position in the table DB. DB is sorted per ID code.
Right now the formula is working, as long as we have NO duplicated in Sheet Cd Column D. Also the results are scattered along the rows, and will require scrolling.
Add Recurring Event To Excel Calendar Spreadsheet?
Mar 19, 2014I am creating an employee work register to record working days and hours both in the office and remotely. I am doing this using Excel, where one spreadsheet represents one month and each cell represents a day per person. I want to enter everyone's working hours for the first week of the first month and then use a formula or another feature to replicate that pattern across the entire month/year, i.e. add a recurring event.
At the moment, I have twelve worksheets in a workbook for each month and each worksheet looks like this:
DAY | DAY | DAY >> (all the way to the end of the month)
NAME
NAME
NAME

How To Compare And Get Difference In Character Between 2 Cells
Jul 19, 2014Suppose we have 2 cells
Cell 1
Cell 2
O/P needed
abc123
abd123
d123
xyz112
xyz113
3
abc911
axz111
xz111
abc119
abc130
30
abc121
abc122
2
The formula would basically need to check each character sequentially in both cells[starting from the left most character] till there is a mismatch and then display the characters that follow in the second cell (including the character with a mismatch) in the output cell.
it basically looks like this:
ABC1234
ABD1239
I want to get D1239 as the result after using a formula.
Is there a way this logic could be extended to 12 characters?
Selecting Cells Containing Specific Character(s)

Extract 1st And 2nd Character Into Seperate Cells
Feb 8, 2008I am attempting to make a macro for. It requires me to scan a column of cells worth of data (characters) for parts of what they contain and place those parts into a variable or string so that I can use an IF statement to place text in another cell.
I used to know someone who could do this via VBA, but I have been unable to reach him.
This sheet is fairly basic. The cells to be scanned are all in one column, they are all four digit numbers and I need to read the first two digits into separate variables.
Example: If the cell has "4101" in it, I want to be able to read the first digit "4" into one variable and the second digit "1" into another variable.
This way I can place text based on either one of those digits into the next cell over with an IF statement and can enclose it into a large loop to do the entire column.
