I have a column of one to three digit numbers (I5:I34), some of which contain an asterisk after them. In I35 i want a formula to find the highest value from that column. Additionally, if two numbers in the column are the same value, but one contains an asterisk after it, it should use that value in I35, instead of the one without the asterisk.
View 6 RepliesI need to do a vlookup that takes a string from one cell and then tries to find that string (embedded in a larger string) in the table array
Essentially I imagine this involves the FIND function at some point.
Attached is an incredibly simplified example of what I'm looking for.
I'm looking to return in cell BG2, the highest alphanumeric value from 10 non consecutive cells (highlighted yellow). When I use the MAX function it works fine should I only have numbers in the 10 cells, but the values in the cells very from 1A to 5Z [all instances of these values are shown in a table on sheet2 with their 'scoring']
View 2 Replies View RelatedOn a work sheet I have 20 columns that may or may not have data in it. In the 21 column I want to have a sum "of the values" in the other columns. Problem is the data is in this form i.e. 6 01/17/07 smr or 15 1/19/07 gtw or 24 01/21/07.
To clarify each cell will have a value of a number from 1 to 99 followed by 2 spaces. Then it can have 2 more spaces and an id tag or just finish with the date.
So, from the example above in column 21 I would have a current value of 45 and it could change if more values were added.
Note values are generated from a macro. It may be possible to change the macro so that a comma or such may be used to seperate the different "values / data types"
I have a simple list of alphanumeric asset numbers,
AKR DC 0001
AKR DC 0002
AKR DC 0004
And so on, I want to run a piece of code from a user form which will return the highest value in the range plus one on the numeric portion. I can find the largest value easily with a sort and last used cell value and I could drag out the numeric portion, increment and crowbar it back in but I'm sure there is a more elegant way.
All asset codes follow the same naming convention and all reside in column a of the active worksheet.
I have a column with a list of SKUs (item identifiers) that are actually combination of letters and numbers. They start with one of the following 4 letters: A, B, C, D
I would like to return the highest sku for each of the 4 letters. For example, Excel should look up column A and return "A3500" in Range(D4) as seen in the attached image.
I am working on a report but I need to split of text cells that contain text and numbers. I had worked in some formulas and I got stuck again when I drag down the formulas. In the attached file, you will see two tables. The one in the left is my current job. In the table of the right is how the table must look like.
The table is complete and will give you the whole idea.
Basically, I need to split the cell into three categories that are "Family", "Model" and "Phase". In example:
Cell Family Model Phase
CCA CCA
DC50X DC50X
DCX3300CRDDCX3300CRD
DPC2434 DPC2434
DCT-1700DCT1700
DCT-1800DCT1800
DCT-1800P3DCT1800P3
DCT-1800P4DCT1800P4

I have this formula that extracts numbers from alphanumeric strings.
{=1*MID(A1,MATCH(TRUE,ISNUMBER(1*MID(A1,ROW($1:$100),1)),0),COUNT(1*MID(A1,ROW($1:$100),1)))}
However this extracts only the 1st instance of the numbers
In a string like 123avfbsdf4556.. it'll extract only 123.
My questions are the following:
1. Is there a way that i could get the result as 1234556
2. A way which refers to a cell where I put in a number and it'll extract those many number instances. In the above example, if I put the number as 1, it'll extract 123. If I put the number as 2, it'll extract 4556 and so on.
I guess this would require some modifications to the Match function so that it does not look at only the 1st instance.
I have in two cells :
a1 b1

I'm working on an attendance spreadsheet that shows the employee's absence using the format "X####", where X can be one of the following three values: S(for sick time), P(for personal time), and V(for vacation); "####" is the number of hours absent (can be from 0.25 to 8.0,measured in 15-minute increments, # can be either a digit from 0 to 9 or a decimal point, and there can be from 1 to 4 characters, but must be >0(I'm not worried about data validation yet).Examples are P8.0, V.5 (V0.5), S2.75,etc.
The spreadsheet is laid out such that each row represents an employee, and each column is a workday. After the employee's information are three columns labeled P,V, S. I'm trying to generate a formula that when applied to an employee's row, will display a running total of the absent hours based upon personal, vacation, or sick time taken. We'll call the range "CAL"(Short for calender)
To strip out the numeric characters on the right, I use the formula RIGHT(CAL, (LEN(CAL)-1)). To Determine which column the data should be summed in, I use the formula LEFT(CAL,1). Blank Cells are permitted, in fact most of the row will be blank. Now that I've figured out how to strip out the alpha from the numeric, how can I get the totals? I apologize for writing "War and Peace," but I wanted to be as concise as possible-
I need to sum the numeric portions of any cell containing a certain letter within a row. I found a solution that works if all the cells within my row are either blank or contain a string with the "desired letter" lets say the letter is "a" so that we can compare it to ....
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a column with product packaging sizes with different syntaxes, such as:
"2 x 5 kg"
"200 l (212 kg)"
"1000 l (1400 kg)"
"5 kg"
"20 l (20,54 kg)"
As you can see the syntax varies a lot! Now I need a formula to extract certain numbers for different calculations. E.g. if the string has a letter "x" then the number(s) in front of it would be extracted. Or if the string has the letter "l" or "kg" the numbers in front of them (including decimals) would be extracted while discarding the rest. Is this even possible? Personally, I would change the whole system and break the strings across a number of columns but unfortunately it is not up to me...

I am using Excel 2010
Columns A & B contain several thousand Project Numbers (e.g., P1052, PA844, etc.). Many of the Project Numbers in column B are the same as in column A, but column B also has additional (i.e., newer) Project Numbers scattered throughout. Ideally, I would like to use a built-in function (versus a custom function if possible) that compares all the Project Numbers in both columns and then separately lists those that are unique to column B.
View 9 Replies View RelatedColumn A has prepopulated list of values of various lengths, no spaces. Need to search column A for certain values at the END of each text string, and then populate the cell right next to it with another constant value.
Example: macro searches column A for cells with "123" at the END of the cell value (whole cell value could be A123 or ABC123, etc...). When macro finds the cells that meet this criteria, it places the constant value "XYZ" in column B right next to the cell in col A.
I need several variations on this theme and the # of characters being searched for at the end of each text string can vary. The constant value to be inserted in Col B can also vary. I imagine 'For Each' loops for every variation would work, I just do not know how to write the code for searching the "end of the text string" part of it

I am looking for a way to find a highest (and/or) lowest value in a list of numbers. The list keeps getting longer and after a certain point I will need the 2 highest (or lowest), then the 3 highest (or lowest). I know MIN and MAX will find the high and low, but how do I find the 2nd highest, etc?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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.
I have two columns.
A column = contains dates but does not always have 5 days in a week. Holidays are not entered.
B column = price data for each day
All I want to do is get the highest price from the previous week. So for example last week highest price was 5000 then column C will display 5000 for this entire week. I tried using WEEKNUM and WEEKDAY but i am clueless on what to do after that. I'm trying to avoid macros or VB since im not that advance with that. But if I have to I will.
At my work we use excel to keep a large number of labels done in one day, those labels are then added up to give our weeks total, running total and average by day.
What i am looking to do though on a seperate sheet though is find out which day we had the most, an example of what it looks like

I have a table with three columns, column 1 is a list of names, column 2 is where I want my result to appear, and column 3 has my array of search values. Column 1 and 2 could have any number of rows with values, but column 3 will have less values. It looks like this if it's working right:
Item List
Result
Search List
[Code].....
What I am trying to do is for each cell in column 1, I want to see if there is a matching value in column 3 - it has to be either an exact match or a partial match (i.e. the string appears somewhere in the values of column 1).
I have been trying to use MATCH like this:
=ISNUMBER(MATCH($A2,$C:$C,0))
but it does not return true unless the match is exact.
way to get these partial string matches to work?

I figured out the way how to select data between specific Start and End dates, but don't know how to interpret "trending" in a formula.
I was thinking maybe highest jump from beginning to end of interval, but what if it's a new item that was launched halfway through the interval and does poorly throughout, that would still be "trending" under that rationale....
I need to automatically populate a column with an alphanumeric MFR0001 to MFR9999 and am currently using the formula below to add 1 to the start point (A1)...
