Format Some Numeric Characters In Cell As Subscript

Feb 16, 2010

I thought I had this solved but an inconsistency has shown up. I have a long list of chemical formulas that I want to format (partially) as subscript.

Basically what I need the macro to do is look at each character within a cell and check to see if it is numeric. If it is AND it follows a non-numeric character it should be formatted as subscript.

Examples
H2O the 2 should be subscript
H2SO4 the 2 and the 4 should be subscript
2CCl4 only the 4 should be subscript

Subscript Macro: Go Cell By Cell And Format The Last Number

Apr 2, 2008

Is it possible to make a macro that will go cell by cell and format the last number of the cell as subscript? Here's an example:

Brooks #1H 5Stewart #8H, #9H 8Stevenson D Unit #1H 2150,000 BblsStewart #8H, #9H 8Stevenson D Unit #1H 2Brooks #1H 5Stewart #8H, #9H 8Holasek #1H 5Brooks #1H 5Stewart #6H, #7H 8140,000 BblsRayburn Unit #5H, #6H, #12H 6160,000 BblsHolasek #1H 5450,000 BblsStewart #6H, #7H 8#N/ARayburn Unit #5H, #6H, #12H 6Stewart #6H, #7H 8Holasek #1H 5Rayburn Unit #5H, #6H, #12H 6Stewart #6H, #7H 8Holasek #1H 5

Numeric Format Based On Cell Value

Nov 17, 2009

I am stuck on this one. In the attachment I have values pulling into N3:N7 based on a drop down choice. Some of the numbers are numeric (no decimals), others are currency (no decimals), others are percentages (2 decimals), etc.

Is there a way to pull values I'm currently pulling into column N and have those values match the format of the source? I've tried converting it into TEXT but then I cannot place conditional formatting data bars on the values and have it work.

Pass Number From TextBox To Cell In Numeric Format

Aug 24, 2007

I have uploaded a copy of the spreadsheet I am working on and have completed the user forms and coding for march the 1st only, so if you test, please use the options march and then the 1st!

The problems i have is, when I enter a number into a text box and press next page, the numbers fill where i want them to but the cells do not recognise them as numbers, therefore conditional formatting doesnt work! Even if I change the cell properties to numbers, this does not remove the error!

Second problem!! If a user forgetts to enter a value in a box, or they wish to edit just one value, and go back into the user form to change a figure, when they press next page, all the values in the column seem to disappear!

Format Cell Value To Ten Characters

Mar 29, 2009

I have the following code which formats the cell values in column A to 10 characters on entry:

Sub FormatToTenCharacters()
Dim Cell As Range, LR As Long
LR = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
For Each Cell In Range("A1:A" & LR)
If Len(Cell.Value) < 10 Then Cell.Value = "'" & Application.Rept("0", 10 - Len(Cell.Value)) & UCase(Cell.Value)
Next Cell
End Sub
For example:

Enter excel in A1 and it changes to '00000EXCEL
Enter 123456 in A2 and it changes to '0000123456
Enter abc456 in A3 and it changes to '0000ABC456

I want to format it as text so that it does not have the apostrophe (').

Conditional Format Using LEN If Cell Is &gt;3, But &lt;10 Characters.

Nov 7, 2009

I'm working on a report right now that I would like to identify incorrect phone numbers. So I'm looking to use the LEN function to identify and highlight any phone number that is incomplete (like missing area code). But I also don't want it to highlight if there is an "N/A" in the cell.

So I was using =LEN(A1:A100)<10 since 10 digits would be a complete phone number). But I don't know how to manipulate it to be if the cell is greater than 3, but less than 10.

Check If 1st X Characters Are Numeric

Aug 10, 2007

In my column of text strings, I have a multiple format of strings make-up. Below is just one of them I have to check that the first 6 are digits from 0 to 9, and it is followed by a hypen. If condition is true, the first 6 digits is the output (ie. 345678).

345678-S

=IF(ISNUMBER(--(MID(A1, FIND("-",A1)-1,1))--(MID(A1,FIND("-",A1)-2,1))--(MID(A1,FIND("-",A1)-3,1))--(MID(A1,FIND("-",A1)-4,1))--(MID(A1,FIND("-",A1)-5,1))--(MID(A1,FIND("-",A1)-6,1))),LEFT(A1,FIND("-",A1)-1))

However, if I were to continue doing this for other strings, I would soon run out of characters limit that is allowed in a cell. I wonder whether a formulae such as below is valid? Any suggestion or help for a shorter formula is very much appreciated.

=IF(ISNUMBER(--(LEFT(A1,1+1+1+1+1+1))),LEFT(A1,6))

Trim Numeric Characters After The Decimal

I have something simple (i think) but i cant think it through. I have a range of cells that are populated by a link and so even though the value shows #,### It really shows #,###.########

I would like to trim everything after the decimal point without having to adjust format of the range since some cells are general format and others are Percentage format but they all suffer from .####### HOWEVER, the last digits are variable and never the exact same amount of characters.

for each cell in range("C4:J9")
if cell.value "" then

Extract Numeric Value Based Upon Ending Characters

Jan 10, 2014

I have a list of numbers in which I need to return the last 5 digits; the length of the string may vary.

However, if the last two digits of the number ends in a specific value then it should skip over the last two numbers and return the preceding 5 digits.

I have tried and have used the very basic Left, Right and Mid functions. My problem is I dont know how to code the formula to identify the last two digits and skip over them, if necessary.

I have provided an attached example.

Explanation For Formula That Counts Number Of Numeric Characters

Nov 21, 2012

The formula below was posted recently as a way to extract a numeric substring from somewhere in larger string. When I first saw this formula, how it "came up with the goods" and so I spent some time looking at parts of it to see what they did.

Although I've made some progress, I still don't fully understand it. Heres the formula, and below Ive detailed how far I've got:

=Iferror(lookup(9.99e+307,--mid(a1,min(find({1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0},a1&1234567890)),row(indirect("1:"&len(a1))))),0)

I hope my findings below are correct:

1. The formula is returning the first substring of contiguous numeric characters from the full string in Cell A1
2. 9.99e + 307 ensures that the search value won't be exceeded by the returned value.
3. The Mid function uses Min(Find( to get the character position of the first numeric in A1 (so MID then has its first 2 parameters). So far so good.
4. Now... I cant work out where MID parameter 3 (the substring length) comes from. I suspect its the row function, but can't see how as this isn't an array formula, and without CTRL+Shift+ Enter, I could only get Row to return 1 in my experiments (giving me only the first substring digit).

How does the formula return the correct number of numeric characters, (apparently) without counting them?

VBA - Generating Random Characters In Cell With Format Of Yymmdd / Randcharacters / Numbers

Mar 29, 2014

I would like to ask if there's a way to generate a random 4 characters in one cell and the specific random 4 characters that has been generated will be copied until the last cell of my preferred choice?

The format that I want is that:

yymmdd / random 4 characters that has been generated / 4 numbers that will increment sequentially

For example:
in A1: 140330QWER0001
in A2: 140330QWER0002
in A3: 140330QWER0003
.
.
.
.
.

But here's the catch, the file that I am using when closed then opened again will generate another random 4 characters with the same format. If i opened this file tomorrow:

for example the date for tomorrow is March 31, 2014, the file will do:

in A1: 140331TYUI0001
in A2: 140331TYUI0002
in A3: 140331TYUI0003
.
.
.
.
.

I tried to record it, the Rand() function when copied will generate another 4 characters.

Date Format From Numeric

May 14, 2009

I get data in csv format from an external source.
The problem is that it gives me dates in a lousy format of ddmmyy

For example 120706 or 050606.

Excel doesn't recognise them as dates and just displays them as numbers (120706 or 50606)

I want to see them as dates, so I select the column and change the format to date
BUT
excel sees my "numbers" as a julian date, and jumps me forward to the dates 24/06/2230 and 20/07/2038 respectively.

Superscript Subscript - Part Of A Cell - Using VBA

Apr 22, 2002

Is there a way to superscript or subscript only part of a cell's text? The forum below provides VBA to superscript an entire cell.

How about just part of a cell?

e.g. Say I type "The volume of the cylinder is 42 m3", the press the arrow key once (to have the cursor before 3, hold down shift, go forward to select 3. NOW, I want to run a macro or script to superscript the selected part of the text, in this case the 3.

http://www.mrexcel.com/board/viewtop...ic=856&forum=2

How about using an inputbox to choose part of the cell?


Or using an inputbox to ask you to choose the cell,
THEN counts number of characters,
THEN asks you where to start and stop the supercript or subscript,
THEN asked if you want to superscript or subscript
THEN asks if you want to superscript/subscript (depending on what was choosen) "selectect text"(have excel store the text part selected for formatting),
THEN carries it out?

Is this possible? I don’t know enough VBA to know.

Here's some code to get people started..

Range("A1").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "m3" .........
