Formula Or Code To Remove Values From String...
Oct 15, 2009
Having some trouble with the syntax to translate the content of a string. The string will always contain stock tickers, but the format varies. I need to normalize them into something like ticker(space)exchange code.
For example, cell 1 can contain:
ABC.EF US - I need to remove the .EF so I'm left with ABC US
ABCDEF.GH TT - I need to remove the .GH so I'm left with ABCDEF TT
The length of the part preceeding the "." will vary, as will the last two characters (the exchange code). I expect that there will always be two characters immediately after the "." which are to be removed.

I have a string of letters in cell column L20 through L3019.
The letters are A, B, C, and R . No other letters.
I wanted to find out if it is possible to remove any duplicates when starting in cell L20 going downward.
For example:
L20 = B
L21 = A
L22 = A
L23 = B
L24 = C
L25 = C
L26 = C
L27 = C
L28 = B
L29 = R
L30 = A
L31 = C
L32 = C
L33 = C
L34 = R
L35 = R
L36 = B
L37 = B
In the range L20 through L37 all the letters have appeared so my goal is to create a formula where the outcome is BACR. Starting with the first letter B in cell L20
Cell range L20 through L37. Looking for the next letter which would be either A,C, or R. Since we already used the letter B. In this case it's the letter A
ABCR
Cell range L20 through L37. Looking for the next letter which is the C or R. In this case it's the letter C
CBRA
Finally range L20 through L37. Looking for the letter R which is in cell L29.

I have a set of data in column A that looks like this:
White:0:0|Counter Height:0:0|Orange:40:0|Counter Height:40:0|Green:40:0|Counter Height:40:0|White:40:0|Bar Height:40:0|Orange:80:0|Bar Height:80:0|Green:80:0|Bar Height:80:0|
The delimiter "|" separates the unique values of an item (in this example they are dining stools of differing heights and colors), I need to only keep the lower value and remove the larger one.
The example above contains both White:0:0 and White:40:0 as two different values associated with the same dining stool. I need to only have White:0:0 remain and White:40:0 to go away.

I have a set of text in rows which includes duplicates like this:
Column A
Text 1
Text2
Text1
Text500
Text500
I then need to remove the duplicates and put them in column B. I normally use the remove duplicates button in Excel to do this but seeing as I have to do this task every day, I was hoping there would be either a formula or VBA solution which automatically does this?

I am using the following code to read a formula as a string. But sometimes the use r may forget to enter formula in the particular cell. In this case I want to check if the first character of the string is a Equal-to Sign (=). In case it is then macro proceeds further otherwise a message prompts user to enter a formula first. how to check if the first character of the string is a '=' sign?

Question is...in the below formula the red are pointing back to name ranges in a different tab on my spreadsheet. On that spreadsheet I also have a name range called DTCCSUBSUPPREF
I would like to add within my formula, a string which will point to that name range and exclude values if they fit my criteria. Basically I need to see values only where comp or tri dont show up. comp or tri could be the only value in the cell, or could be in the beginning of a string, at end, or in between. Below examples. I have tried (--(DTCCSUBSUPPREF<>"*comp*")*(--(DTCCSUBSUPPREF<>"*tri*") , and I would have thought the * characters would have served as a catch all.
Below is the entire forumla just in case.
11111111FT04comp
comp
tri
11comp
11tri
tri11111111FRP06
=SUMPRODUCT((--(DTCCSUBTRANSTYPE<>$G$2))*(--(DTCCSUBEVENTTYPE<>$I$2)*(--(DTCCSUBBACKLOAD<>$I$3)
*(--(DTCCSUBINPUTSOURCE<>$I$4)*(--(TEXT(DTCCSUBTRADEDATE,"MMM-YY")=$D$2))))))

I'm trying to remove everything after a specific character in a string.
I.e. change a website address to the hostname
http://www.excelforum.com/newthread.php
http://usa.excelforum.com/forum/new
to
excelforum.com
usa.excelforum.com
I'm using this formula, which strips the http:// and the www., but does not replace the characters after the first remaining "/" as the wildcard is not recognized.
=SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A2,"www.",""), A2,"http://",""), A2, "/*", "")

I'm attempting to extract the Street Names from an Address.
For Example, if given "123 Very Big Street" I'd want to extract "Very Big".
If given, "123 Very Big" I'd want the same answer.
I've written code to do this, with a simple IF statement to identify mathcing last words like "Street" and "Drive".
How can I efficiently do this with a large list of last words? I'm drawing a blank on how to query against an array that would contain all these values.

If someone enters "1,000" in a TextBox, Isnumeric(TextBoxEntry) says True
If I convert it to a value with something like x = TextBoxEntry * 0, the 1,000 becomes 1
I would prefer it to be 1000. Just removing commas would do the trick. How to do it.

The below function concats a range of cells by csv. How can I get it to remove the last comma in the string when it's finished?
Function SpecialConcatenate(rnge As Range) As String
Dim r As Long, col As Integer
For c = 1 To rnge.Columns.Count
For r = 1 To rnge.Rows.Count
If rnge.Cells(r, c) "" Then
SpecialConcatenate = SpecialConcatenate & _
rnge.Cells(r, c).Value & ","
End If
Next r
Next c
End Function

I have a list of data that populates B2:B2900
This data is often prefixed by a 'reference code' that I wish to be removed.
Now rater than perform this manually aprox 3000 times is there a formula or some VB code that will complete this for me....
eg
The list of data is shown like:
SC7547-05 - Payne, Freda
SC8706-08 - Rungren, Todd
SC8714-05 - Travis, Randy
SC7517-03 - Beach Boys, The
Love Song
Now You're Gone
SC7512-01 - Horton, Johnny
SC8721-15 - Journey
So I wish for the SC7547-05 - to be removed from the first example to just leave Payne, Freda and continue this throughout the list
However if the data is found not to include this code (as in the 5th/6th examples above) leave it alone
So if the code of formula is run for the above the outcome would be....
Payne, Freda
Rungren, Todd
Travis, Randy
Beach Boys, The
Love Song
Now You're Gone
Horton, Johnny
Journey

I have a set of data in column a that consists of email addresses. These email addresses all have underscores after them, ie "abc@hotmail.com_______". It will be a different amount of underscores everytime and I don't want underscores to be removed that are actually part of the address. I had been using the find replace function through vba, ie
Range("A:A").Select
Selection.Replace What:="_", Replacement:="", LookAt:=xlPart, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False, _
ReplaceFormat:=False
however this ofcourse removes from actual parts of the email address. Is there a way to do this?

I've come across multiple times where I have to do this same sort of task, and I don't think I am doing it the most efficient way.
What I need to do is take a variable which holds a string and remove the last 9 characters from it. Don't need to know what the last 9 characters are, all I care about is knowing what the other characters are in the string. I know this can be done through thingslike susbstrings, but I don't think VBA has a substring function.

I am trying to remove all characters that aren't letters or numbers from a string. Is there any way to differentiate between a non-alphanumeric characters and alphanumeric characters? I'm thinking of something like "ISTEXT()" that I could use on one character at a time. Or are there any wildcards I could use in the Replace function?

I'm using excel 2007 and windows vista. I have 2 cells, A1 contains (01,) and B1 contains (01, 08). I want the result in cell C1 to be (01, 08) by calling function trim_sort($A1&$B1). The code gives me an error "invalid qualifier" for s.length & more.

I have a list of about 1,400 numbers ranging in different lengths. What I'm trying to accomplish with a formula is to remove the single letter at the end of each number (not all numbers have them) and in addition to removing all zeros at the beginning of the number (again not all numbers have them).
Here is an example...say I have the following 5 numbers:
8014554
45678456
87451245
0008014554b
0008014554c
And what I need my formula to do provide is the following results instead:
8014554
45678456
87451245
8014554
8014554
So far I have started with the following =LEFT(A1,LEN(A1)-1), but that will always remove the last character (number and letter).

The problem I have is that suppliers descriptions use the " character instead of the word inch when describing products. This causes issues when reporting or comunicating to Microsoft Purchase Plus Ordering System.
Is there an easy way that I can remove alll of the " characters from the description cells in a text string?
