How Do I Replace Numeric Values Only
Jan 20, 2009
When using the replace rule in Excel, you can use "?" to represent a standard variable, e.g. if you had the text "Bottle 100g", and you set the replace rule as "?g", it would delete the "g" and the four characters before it, leaving you with "Bottle".
However, if I have lots of replace rules to make in a file, and I only want to eliminate the numerical values before a letter, how do I go about doing this?
For example, if I had the text "Dog food 10g", and I made a replace rule "??g", it would leave me with " food ". What I would really need, is a way of taking away the numeric values before the "g", which would give me "Dog food".
Therefore, is there a unique identifier for numeric and/or text values?

I have an ad hoc txt file that I import into Excel and use text to columns. The problem is some of the amounts have an asterisk in it such as: 10,412 *
I tried to use the find and replace, but the "*" is considered a wildcard and instead of changing the field to just 10,412, it deletes the entire amount.
Is there a macro that I can use to get around this? The amounts are listed in column G & H

I am using the following vba code to find numeric codes in a column and replace them with the same code along with descriptive text:
Range("Q:Q").Select
Selection.Replace What:="11", Replacement:="11 - GSA"
Selection.Replace What:="10", Replacement:="10 - NYS OGS"
Selection.Replace What:="1", Replacement:=" 1 - Dist Sale"
Selection.Replace What:="2", Replacement:=" 2 - Direct Sale"
Selection.Replace What:="3", Replacement:=" 3 - No Sale: Warranty Exchange"
The problem as you might already see is that when the replacement of "1" happens, Excel will replace the 1 in the 10 and 11. Of course I want to only replace the number 1. Is there a better way to code this operation?

I have a list of stock codes which are 6 digits long and there are over 550 of them.
We have shortened our codes to a five digit number, removing the first digit.
Is there a way to delete the first digit of the numeric and replace it with the remainder in all of the 550+ cells?

This problem has come up fairly frequently lately, and I'm not sure how to fix it, or if this is by design...but in Excel 2003 I can't seem to do a "Find and Replace" based on the value of a cell. I can do a find, based on cell value, but the moment I change to the replace tab, the "values" and "comments" are missing from the "look in" dropdown.
I've only noticed this when I'm trying to replace on a filtered list, so I'm not sure if that is part of the issue.
Perhaps an alternative way of arriving at the same goal. Basically I have a worksheet with a number of filtered columns. They are filtered just right, using custom filtering, and so I do not want to undo the filters. In some columns I have formulas that are returning #VALUE! errors. I'd like to replace all of these cells with NA.

I have values in row A and I have values in row C. I want to create a loop to look up xxx and replace it with the values consecutively in row C. Look at example for a better Idea. I found a way to find and replace, but I not sure how to use it with qoutes. I was thinking maybe I dont even need row A and just supply a list and excel could have the chunk of data in the code itself.

I have the following issue:
=AR85*36*75*6.29
The above formula does not return any value and it simply appears as it is keyed. Cell AR85 has 5. I know it is something to with this cell, but I cannot fix it. In fact the whole Column AR has these values downloaded. I tried "text to columns" but it still doesn't work.

I am trying to replace a range of cells with certain values but I can not figure it out. I'm almost there I think but don't know how to get the varying values I'm looking for. So I have a column (AJ in this instance) that has a bunch of "xx" values at different spots within the column. I want to replace those xx values with numbers 01 through 36. What I have below gets me just about there but it replaces every xx value with 01. How do I get it to go 01 on the first one, 02 on the second one, etc?
/code
Dim cell As Range
For Each cell In Range("AJ1", Cells(Rows.Count, "AJ").End(xlUp))
If cell.Value = "xx" Then _
cell.Value = "01"
Next cell
/code

My colleague has a problem where he needs to Extract numbers from alphanumberic strings. Here is the formula he is using:
=MID(B7,MATCH(TRUE,ISNUMBER(1*MID(B7,ROW($1:$297),1)),0),COUNT(1*MID(B7,ROW($1:$297),1)))
It works if alphabetic and numbers are clustered together such as scs987
It works if alphabetic and numbers are not clustered together such as scs987dtg
Problem: It does not work when numbers are not clustered together such as scs987dtg1234

I have lists of room areas in metres squared, I extract the web based lists to excel: for example.
10.56 m2
14.23 m2
21.34 m2
How do i calculate the total of these amounts?
Is there a formular to remove the "m2"?
I have tried using =SUBSTITUTE(A1,"m2","") which deletes the "m2" from the cell, but then I can't use =SUM(A1:A3) as this totals the 3 cells as 0.
If i use =SUM(A1+A2+A3) the total is correct, but I have over 3000 cells in one column to add together.
Is there a formula or something to remove all instances of "m2" or "m3" from the whole sheet or another way i can calculate the totals.

I'm currently trying to create a rota timesheet which automatically takes shift patterns and deducts for unpaid breaks.
Basically if a shift is less than 4.5 hours long then no break is deducted
If the shift length is 4.5 - 6.5 hours then 15 mins are deducted
If the shift is longer than 6.5 hours then 30 mins are deducted.

The problem I currently have is all numeric values only are not being recognized on my password column. I have tried changing the cell formats but still problem still there. The program work if an alphanumeric value is declared as password. However if you simply indicate plain numeric values only as password, it returns incorrect values, it like it doesn;t recognize all numeric values. Also how can I make 0000 as a declared password? when I place 0000 on my password column, only one zero value is being displayed instead of four another thing if I happen to place 0123 only 123 is being displayed.

I have the following issue. I have a file, which contains about 7 000 columns, each with 8000 rows, mostly filled with numbers (with decimals). But sometimes, numbers will be replaced by "N/A" where a value was not available. What I want to do, is delete columns, where all the rows are just "N/A" to reduce the size my file.

I have cell E15 in Sheet1 which will take an 8 digit Personnel Number, which can have leading 0's. I want to prevent a user from entering any characters other than 0123456789. I have worked out that I need to use the Worksheet_Change event and I need to use the function IsNumeric.
No matter what I do I can't trigger the Worksheet_Change event!

Are test have some text values RA = 0 and A= 0.5 as well as numeric values. I am currently using the formula =IF(COUNTIF(A1:A13,"A"),(COUNTIF(A1:A13,"A")*0.5)+SUM(A1:A13))/COUNTA(A1:A13) which is not very good at all, but it works for this instance. I also use the formula in B2 =IF(A1="RA",0,IF(A1="A",0.5,A1)) as a helper column but I need a stabile formula with out a helper column that will allow me to average text and numeric values. In the future, they are going to expand the text values part i.e. B = 0.3, BD = 0.2 etc....

I have around thirty columns I manually search using AutoFilter to find values outside certain ranges. The ranges are different for every column and I copy/paste the out of range values onto another sheet. I am wanting a marco to do this for me.
Here is what I have worked up so far. I thought Select Case would be the easiest to adapt for each column by just changing the values.
Sub ColumnCase()
Sheets("10AL3-27").Select
Range("K1").Select
Selection.Copy
Sheets.Add After:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)
NextRow = Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Row + 1
Range("A" & NextRow).Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Column K is the first of the columns I sort. The code above seems to be trying to paste the entire column rather than only the cells with values outside the range.
What would be the best way to select the cells which are out of the particular range?

I'm trying to find out exactly how I can use sum product on cells that have text and numeric values. Here's my sample data (6 points):
TN FX1576 20, TN FX1577 25, AZ FX1577 30, AZ FX1577 35, FW FX 1577 40, and FW 1577 45.
I wish to do the following: I want to sum all of the right numeric values based on the first two text values(TN, AZ, or FW). I want to sum these numbers to their respective total cells at the top of the page. So far I can sum the numeric values fine using the following formula: =sumproduct((right(range,2)*1) but when I try to differentiate between the respective locations (AZ, TN, or FW) I get an error message.
Attached is an example of what I'm trying to do along with the formula I'm currently using and yellow shading to represent where I want my respective sums to go.
