Generate Column Headings From Part Of A String

Dec 9, 2007

In column B & C, starting at row 2, there are first names & surnames. In column H there is a grade for each name, eg B. Columns AC through AH hold subject codes for each name, eg 18E/Hs1 (potentially all columns could contain a code or only 1). The identifying part of the subject code is the first 2 letters after the / . So in the example the subject code 18E/Hs1 the 'Hs' signifies it is History. A table of subject code and their subject name is contained in a named range called Subject_ID (see below). I intend to make this range dynamic.

Subject .Subject
Code......Name
HsHistory
EnEnglish
ChChemistry
ITIT
PhPhilosophy
MpMaths (Pure)
PtPart-time
PyPhysics
SoSociology
BsBusiness Studies
SSSports Science
FrFrench
BiBuilding.

For each name (starting at row 2) I want to achieve the following: Scan across the range containing the subject codes (AC:AH), identify the first two letters after the / and match it to the subject name in the list. Paste the subject name to a cell starting at AI1 and then insert the grade (contained in column H) for that student in the corresponding subject column. The next unique subject name should then miss a column be pasted in AK1.

Example

......B ......C........H.. AC..........AD...........AE..........AF........AG.........AH.........
Matt........Pia......D....18A/Hs1...18B/En1....18B/Hs3

should result in the word History in AI1 and English in AK1 and the letter D in AI2 & AK2. Note as there is already a reference to History this is not repeated again.

I hope this is clear. I have enclosed a sample workbook with expected output and colour coded the subject names so that the order that they are pasted in is evident.

Identify Part Of String In One Column And Return Entry In Neighboring Column?

Feb 28, 2014

I have a spreadsheet of several thousand named items (in column B) with values associated with them in column A). The "name" field is a string of several alternative names for the item.

I have a list of ~50 items that I am trying to find the values for. Each uses one of the alternate names.

What I want is a function that will return the associated value in column A when one of my shortlist names is found.

For example, my big spreadsheet looks like:

AB
1dallas, DFW. 12345
2Atlanta, ATL, 23456
3Boston, BOS, 34567
4Chicago, CHI, 45678
5Los Angles, LA, LAX, 56789

And my list looks like

Atlanta
CHI

I want the output to look something like:

Atlanta2
CHI 4

Is the feasible? IT seems like there should be a way to do it....

Delete Rows If Column Has Fewer Than X Matches To Part String Match

May 5, 2008

I have data sets on multiple worksheets within a workbook (over 70). Based on the begining of a string, I need to count all instances with that begining, and if there are fewer than 12 instances, delete the entire row.

Data set example:

In this example, I need to count each instance of rows starting with 1/* - 9/*, and delete rows as mentioned. In other data sets the string might start Gi1/*, and so on. In the following code, if I do not loop, and only test against 1 value type, and ONLY run it once, it works. As soone as I try to loop through all possibilities, or run the macro a second time, it blanks out the entire worksheet, starting at row 3.

Dim c As Long
c = Worksheets(i).Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
With Range("A3:A" & c)
If Application.WorksheetFunction.CountIf(Worksheets(i).Columns(1), "1/*") < 12 Then
. AutoFilter field:=1, Criteria1:="1/*"
.Offset(1).Resize(.Rows.Count - 1, 1).EntireRow.Delete
.AutoFilter

I have also tried to concatenate a variable with my CountIf criteria, but that fails miserably.

Remove First Part Of String Of Text And Keep The Second Part?

Feb 12, 2014

Is there any way to remove the first part of a string of text in a cell and save the second part?

The first part of the text string is a team code that has a variable number of numbers, capital letters and sometimes spaces. The second part of the text string is a variable number of words in a team name that all start with a capital letter and have lower case letters. Every line has a different team code and team name.

The original spreadsheet also has a column with just team code. Is there a way of using this column to "subtract" the team code from the text string to just leave the team name?

Identify Duplicate Part # And Quanities And Generate Recount Sheet

Oct 9, 2008

I have attached my sample XL sheet. Column A & B will be imported from computer system, only one p/n and quanity. Column C & D will be scanned in from multiple trucks and warehouse, p/n might show up multiple times with different quanities. I need to compare A&B to C&D and come up with a recount sheet that shows the difference as in E&F. Ideally this could be put on another sheet that could be printed out for recounting. Is it possible to do all these different functions automatically. There will be somewhere between 3000-5000 different p/n's.

Find Most Recent Date In Column Headings In A Range - Insert New Column And Heading

Apr 4, 2014

I have a 2 groups of column headings with a different month and year in each heading so

1st Group of columns range
Columns AJ through AX
Column Heading example "Expense Ratio February 2013......next Column over is "Expense Ratio March 2013"

2nd Group of columns range AY though CE
Column Heading example "Capital Balance February 2013......next Column over is "Capital Balance March 2013"

Each new month I need to add a new Expense Ratio column after the most recent expense ratio Column. (i.e. Find "Expense Ratio March 2013" and I need to add a column after that with heading "Expense Ratio April 2013"

Same thing for Capital Balance - add a new Capital Balance column after the most recent Capital Balance Column. (i.e. Find "Capital Balance March 2013" and I need to add a column after that for "Expense Ratio April 2013"

Because the ranges keep changing month over month, how do i do this.

Button To Generate Random String Of Numbers

Feb 25, 2009

I've been using excel for quite sometime but have never tried the macro system or posting VBA code so I'm wanting to get my feet wet with a little project.

I want to make a button on a sheet that when pressed generates a random number between 3 and 18, ideally it would make a new set of random numbers if pressed again.

VLOOKUP And SUM On Part Of String?

Apr 13, 2012

My sheet contains values like these:

A/5
A/3
B/4

What I want to do is sum all the values after the / for a particalur value before the /:

A 8
B 4

I already tried VLOOKUP, but this function wants you to point to a certain cell to return instead of a just a part of the cell. It should return 5 for the first row to be able to perform a sum for every value of A.

How can I perform such a calculation without having to copy the values to separate cells? Can I contain all of this in one function?

VLOOKUP For Part Of A String

Oct 4, 2012

Im sure this cant be done because it defies the logic of the LOOKUP function but I know there are some clever people on here so i thought id ask!!

I have 2 workbooks containing similar data from 2 different sources; the one common data item in both is a clients address but have the age old problem of data quality, which needs sorting eventually but i need a quick fix!

In workbook one for example the address will be recorded as RUSKIN RD

In workbook two the address will be recorded as RUSKIN ROAD

A simple look up wont work obviously as the 2 values dont match, then i thought of using the LEFT function but again this goes against the logic of the VLOOKUP.

Remove Part Of String

Oct 29, 2009

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

Vlookup Part Of String

Sep 29, 2006

I'm trying to use this formula to lookup the value in the array that matches, however, the first 4 numbers aren't known (thus why I'm doing the lookup) =VLOOKUP("*"&C2, 'KLIF Data'!A:C,1,0)

The * is being interpreted as a character, is there a way to perform the Vlookup function using a wildcard? Or just ignoring the first 4 characters of the cells in the array would work.

Vlookup To Search For Part Of A String?

Nov 17, 2008

If I have a store number (say 1234) and I am trying to search for something which contains 1234 (i.e. the whole string of ABCD1234, ABCD1235, ABCD1236 etc) is it possible to do this in one VLOOKUP formula?

One way of doing it would be to VLOOKUP("ABCD"&"1234",....) but I would rather do it the other way around, to prevent the formula from not working.

Changing Colours Of Part Of String

Feb 22, 2013

I have a conditional formula which gives a value based on what the User specifies.

Example of formula is:

=IF($B$1=0,"CONTACT PERSON - OPTIONAL",IF($B$1=5,"CONTACT PERSON (FINANCE ONLY) - MANDATORY",""))

If the result of the string is " CONTACT PERSON (FINANCE ONLY) - MANDATORY " then
- word MANDATORY (not the whole string) should be in RED
- words (FINANCE ONLY) should be in BLUE
- remaining string should be left in BLANK

Not intending to use VBA. Is this possible?

Regex Evaluate Part Of A String

May 19, 2014

I am currently working on creating a dialogue which will allow the user to input a range of worksheets to use for a pivot table.

I want the user to be able to input a variable into the dialogue. For example, I want the input "n-5 - n-1" to mean the 6th from last to the 2nd from last sheets. I am trying to find n - ([0-9]+)? and replace it with Worksheets.Count - $1. In other words, if there are 10 sheets, I want to transform "n-5 - n-1" into "5 - 9".

Here is the code I have so far:

[Code] ....

This has been working for strings like "n" or "n-4" but not "4 - n-3" or "n-5 - n-1".

Here is the code I use afterwards to interpret the string once the n's have been replaced:

[Code] ....

I'm new to Regex and VBA in general.

VBA To Delete Part Of Text String

I am trying to delete part of a text string for a range of cells. The code I have so far deletes the first set of letters but is looking in every cell in the range.

Ideally I would like it to only look in the cells of col B where there is data then only delete the first 10 letters if the cell begins with "Service ID"

Sub DeleteServiceID()
Dim c As Range
For Each c In Range("B1:B1000")
c.Value = Right(c.Value, 10)

Removing Part Of Text From A String

Feb 11, 2013

I belong to a fantasy cycling league and after every race, I copy the race results to award each rider their points for the day. The site I visit most frequently lists the riders results in this format:

1. Alberto Contador (Spa) Team Sax Bank Tinkoff 4:05:00
2. Lance Armstrong (USA) Team Livestrong etc... 4:06:00

I usually copy the results to my spreadsheet then calculate each riders points.

The'results end up looking like this in Excel:

1. Alberto Contador (Spa) Team Sax Bank Tinkoff 4:05:00
2. Lance Armstrong (USA) Team Livestrong 4:06:00

So, the data ends up in 3 cells. The position in one cell, the rider and their nationality and their team in another, and the time of arrival in another cell

Is there a way in Excel where I can get rid of or delete all the data after a rider's name?

I usually end up pasting the rider information to Word, then replacing the (***) with a tab symbol, then pasting back to Excel and get rid of the data that's after the name by deleting the cells to which that data was transferred.

Is there an easier way to do this in Excel, or a macro I can create?...

Criteria To Match Part Of String

Dec 3, 2008

I have a worksheet that I need to filter on 8 columns. I need to do this in the form (Col A = Bob OR SAM) AND (Col B = Apple OR Pear OR Banana) AND... etc for 8 columns.

I started this thread and we reached the conclusion that I needed either a macro to list out all the possible combinations on separate lines, or a complex criteria formula.

I'm trying to put together the complex criteria, but I am further stumped by the fact that some of the columns contain multiple terms with comma delimiters, so I'm trying to match part of a string, rather than a whole string, so the usual = ISNUMBER(MATCH(Sheet1!A2,Sheet2!$A:$A,0)) won't work. I tried using =ISNUMBER(FIND(Sheet2!$A:$A,Sheet1!A2)) instead, but I think this fails because it should be an array formula. I tried normal entering and CSE entering, and neither work, so I think this is a dead end.
