Give Cell A Value Based On Length Of Row (variable Row Length)
Jan 9, 2010
My worksheet contains data with the reaction times on a psychological test. Each respondent in the test has 280 rows in my excel sheet.
The 'perfect' length of the row, is from A to M. When an error is made in the test, the length of the row will increase. So the error length can be A to AA.
For me it is important to analyse the error. So I would like to give a perfect row length, the value 1, and an error row length a value 2.
So, in conclusion:
If:
Cell length = A1 - M1? --> Copy A1 B1 C1 (A B Cof that row) to Sheet3, and give D1 in sheet 3 the value 1
Cell length >= A1 - M1? --> Copy A1 B1 C1 (A B C of that row) to Sheet3, and give D1 in sheet 3 the value 2
I've set up a filing system which saves sheets/ workbooks based on the value of a cell - Range("B1") Everything works great apart from when ThisFile String length exceeds 31 characters which you may know is the max useable character length for a sheet name - I had no idea! 8-0
Is there a way i can check if string length exceeds 31 characters then, if it does, shorten it to 31 characters?
So I have got an identifier and a corresponding column of values. I need to calculate sum of those corresponding values for each identifier, so if identifier is 1993, I need to have a sum of all the corresponding values. These identifiers repeat, and I do not want to calculate sum for all of them, just the immediate identifiers (i.e. you have 1993, after that you may have 1994 etc etc and then at one point you will have 1993 again, but that "new" 1993 will have a different sum of course). Also, identifiers do not go in sequence sometimes (however, most of the case they do), for example 1993 may jump suddenly to 2004. The trick with all of this is variable "row width" of these identifiers...
how can I make this simple macro sum columns that will be of variable length? I would like the sum to appear as the last entry in that column and highlighted.
I need to parse out the different parts of Column M.
In Column R -- "Close Date", I'm successfully using: =LEFT(M2,FIND(" | ",M2)-1)
...to extract the close date of the donation.
In Column S, I want to list the donor name--which is all of the text after " | ", and before the "-".
I don't need anything after the hyphen, and fortunately in this data, no one's name has a hyphen in it.
The Close Date is working fine for the LEFT and FIND functions, but for the life of me, I can't seem to get MID to work for the variable-length text. The text will always start in the same position -- 14, as the date and delimiter are standardized. And the last 5 characters of the text are not variable in length, so they can be cut out completely.
How do I use MID to extract everything starting at position 14, and stopping 5 characters short of the end of the text?
I have a SS I would like to reference a cell in a column which changes in length. In this case, I would like to reference the most current date in a column.
Is there a simple method for doing this, as the data will routinely be different lengths in that column.
Further, there is Data on the Horizontal that I would like to reference to another cell in another sheet that would correspond to this date. Can anyone give any suggestions as to the best way to accomdate this?
I have a range of data starting in C18, C17 is a label (DivsUsed) the number of rows can range from 1 to a few hundred.
I used the code below to name C18 onwards as a named range with the name DivsUsed and then to use this as a RowSource for a ListBox.
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Dim rangeToName As Range 'Sheet2.Range("C18", Range("C65536").End(xlUp)).Name = "DivsUsed" Tried this too Set rangeToName = Sheet2.Range("C17", Range("C65536").End(xlUp)) rangeToName.CreateNames Top:=True ListBox2.RowSource = "DivsUsed" TextBox2.Value = Sheet2.Range("F2").Value 'This works ok End Sub
Both tries, and anything else I have tried, give the error " Method 'Range' of object _Worksheet failed".
I'm trying to sort a report using case number in Ascending order, this report varies in length and data begins in cell B2 down the whole report. It needs to include the fields on either side ie. expand the selection.
I am trying to split up a cell into numbers and charachters and place them in separate columns, but the lenght of the number part varies as does the content of the character part.
For example, one cell could be 5#, 10Tins, 4 lb, 100Pcs, etc. I would like to be able to pull out the #, Tins, lb, and Pcs in to their own column.
I have found this formula: =LEFT(A1,FIND("-",A1,1)-1)
but it assumes some level of consistency, the "-" in the cell.
My key is in row A (up to 50,000 keys) my entries are in column B. There could be between 1 to 20 entries per key (variable). i need to move the entries across so my key remains in column A and the entries appear in columns B, C, D, etc. Need to end with one row per key.
If you have used Excel to download data from Bloomberg, you probably noticed that the function "BDH" can return an array of variable length. I was trying to design such a function but could not find a way.
The basic feature of a function like this is that it can be entered like an ordinary formula (not an array formula), but it returns multiple values. The values will be displayed in the range that has the formula as its top left corner.
Hey I got a long String like this "[...] increase of x.xx% [...]".
I am trying to extract only the percentage number which can be of variable length, so maybe 900.99% or 9.99%.
I tried this formula: =MID(G14,SEARCH("%",G14)-5,5) but this one doesnt bring the right results as the percentage figure is often not exactly 5 characters long.
I'm trying to sort by a column with one to four digit numbers, any of which may be followed by a single letter, i.e. 1,2,3 4A,5, 10,11A,75,101A,600,705,1010B,1011A.
I'd like them to sort in the above order. I am only able to have excel 2003 sort all of the numeric cells first, followed by the cells with the alpha character.
I have the following issue. I have a list of strings. Each string contains certain characters that are exactly the same for all strings, some characters are different making the string longer (in some cases). What I need to do is extract some combination of characters from each string. The strings look like this:
AB & CDE & FG & I mmmm yyyy.HIJK AB & CDE & FG & II mmmm yyyy.HIJK
The part "AB & CDE & FG & " (incl. spaces) is the same for each string. The next part contains a roman count from I to VII, causing the length of each string to vary. The "mmmm" part contains the current month spelled in full e.g. December. This part differs as well, for each string. The "yyyy" part contains the year in four digits, e.g. 2007. The part after the dot is the same for each string again.
What I need to do: - is to extract the month and assign it to a new string - extract the year and assign it to a new string - extract the roman number, translate it to a normal number (II -> 2) and assign to a string (or integer).
my macro comes up with an error on the Consolidate line that says 'Cannot add duplicate source reference'. I have a workbook with a variable number of tabs and I want to consolidate-sum (not copy and paste) the data from the various sheets onto a summary sheet within the same workbook. I'm at the point where it all works fine until it hits Consolidate.
Option Explicit Sub ConsolidateExport() ' ' ConsolidateExport Macro
I get all my results from a CSV file. This isn’t a problem except for the first nine days of the month where excel cuts off the first 0 so 01012009 reads 1012009 and cannot be properly concatenated.
What I would like to do is have VB read the contents of the date cell and if it is less than eight characters, edit the cell by adding a zero at the beginning of the string. This needs to be a one off process for all cells. Can anyone come up with code that might make this happen?
I have two columns, one with an account number (call it A) and another with a vendor id (call it B). I need the length of the number in column A to be truncated to 10 characters by just deleting any additional characters after 10. That should be based on whether or not the corresponding cell in column B equals the following number "147212336". Right now, my code edits the ENTIRE column A, not just the cell in the same row.
I know it's because I'm using a "FOR EACH CELL" argument but I don't what else would work.
Code: Set acctlengthrange = Range("N2", Cells(LastRowB, "N")) Set dplrange = Range("P2", Cells(LastRowB, "P")) With dplrange If cell.Value = "147212336" Then For Each cell In acctlengthrange cell.Value = Left(cell.Value, 10) Next End If Next
I'm having a bit of trouble with a macro designed to read the length text in a cell and if it = a certain length then perform an action (in this case Text to column)
Here is a small sample of the data I'm working with:
The text length I want it to perform the action on is highlighted with "<<" if the length of text does not meet the required number then I want the statement to skip and move onto the next one.
I have the text to column code already done with relative references however the long text string I want the statement activated on is not always present which means that the pattern (0,3) is not always consistent.
I have tried many ways to get script to do the following without success. I need a vba formula that identifies claims in a Range that are not 12 characters in length and do not have "00" at the beginning & end of the number. The format of the number should be "00########00".
I need to write a Excel VBA (2003) code that can arrange the cells of one column based on the character length. An example is this:
Column Data before Running VBA
(Column A) cat oranges apple
Column Data after Running VBA
(Column A) cat apple oranges
I been doing this manually by using the LEN() command in an adjacent column (Column B) and sorting Column A. based on Column B. However, I wish to do this all in a VBA code that does not rely on how many rows are in Column A. I have dozens of excel sheets with various number of rows for Column A. Therefore, the VBA code has to also figure out when the last non-empty row is in Column A. Can anyone offer their suggestions to my problem?
There are a thousand numbers like this, I was wondering how I can move the cells with 7 numbers to the right column, and keep the cells with 8 numbers where they are (or move them to the 3rd column to the right)
Is there a way to change the text in a cell to proper apart from 2/3 letter words which I want to keep as upper? Basically can it ignore all words that are 2 or 3 letters long, but change all other words to proper text?
I would like to know how to figure out the vacation accrual rate based on length of employment.
Lets say for years 0-5 the accrual rate is 3 hours per pay period. for years 6-10 the rate is 5 hours per pay period for years 11-15 the rate is 7 hours per pay period for years 16-20 the rate is 9 hours per pay period and for years after20 the rate is 10 hours per pay period.
I want a formula that will look at say cell C5 (which is the cell that includes length of service) and output the accrual rate. Example. The number 12 is in cell C5. I would like the cell with the formula (D5) to say the number 7 (which is how many hours accrued per pay period based on the table above.
