In column A, I have the following lines:
2014-05-15 02:08:43 @Centre INFO - CHANGE WORLD (Original World to Destination World)
2014-05-15 02:31:37 @Centre INFO - CHANGE WORLD (Original World to Destination World)

I would like to use conditional formatting to highlight cells which have the same first 16 characters (yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm) before the "@" AND that contains the words "CHANGE WORLD". Therefore, I'm looking for a formula I could include in the conditional formatting so I can easily find the "CHANGE WORLD" that occurred at the same time (minus the seconds, they may vary slightly).
This is column a and b. Looking at b I am looking for a formula that will pull the first capital letter out of each word like ACR to create color codes.
I have a cell that has approx 22000 characters. I'm trying to remove a specific character string from a cell by doing a find and replace with "". It works for characters in the first part of the cell but not for characters in the last part of the cell.
Example: I do a find/replace for the characters 21242 to "" in column A and I get the expected results. I do a find/replace on 69294 to "", again I get the expected results, but if I do a find/replace on 85203 to "", I get "Excel cannot find what I am searching for" (but its there!)
My cell size is within the max size of 32,767 characters so not sure why its not working.
I would like to find the position of the last occurrence of a character in a string. For example, I have a string with the following:
"c:wwgpeToolbidsTest File.GP$".
I would like to find out the position of the last '' in the string because I want to pull the filename, 'Test File.GP$' into a variable. I would like to avoid writing code to do this. Are there some Excel functions I can use for this?
I have a macro that asks the user to enter a file name and have written a small function to search the name given to the file to find any invalid characters, trouble is I must be doing something wrong as I doesn't work. Everytime I write something in the box I'm told it's invalid, regardless of weather it actually is or not.
I am trying to work out how to get nth position of a character in a string. For example in this
Code:
kjishdfiuayigdscka if I use the formula Code: =FIND("i",I$1),
it will give me answer 3. But I want the position of 3rd "i" in the string. The answer should be 12. How can I change this formula to get the correct result?
I am having trouble getting my IF statement to test if the cell contains the text "sale" return "X" if not "Y". I need it to search through the text string in that cell and find a certain word, and if it finds that word, retrn a value. I am really having difficulty with is what symbol or function do I use for the logical test? (i.e. =, <>, MATCH, INDEX?)
I want to delete a specific words from string but i have a problem with the code below. For example, i wan to delete the word "Inc" only but the problem with my code is that it is deleting from "Incorporated" too and i want only the code to delete only if it finds the word "Inc" only.
I am reading lines from a textfile. Each line in the textfile has the identical format: textstring1:textstring2. The two strings are always separated by the : character. I have the code to get textstring1, but because I'm a rookie, I can't figure out how to get textstring2. See the code in bold, this is the line I need to get textstring2.
Cells A1:A5 all have a vlookup formula that will pull one of the following into it:
1. The word "NONE" 2. #N/A error since it doesn't exist in the table 3. A text value that has the format 13.55.46.91
I want a formula that will look at these 5 cells and give me #3. That #3 value can only appear once in the 5 cells in any of those 5. The other 4 cells will contain either 1 or 2.
3 always has length equal to 11. It always has periods in those places. The digits do change.
I need to pull a specific word from a string of text in a cell and have that word shown in an adjacant cell. For example A1 will contain the text "Smith Sun Alliance Pension Fund" I need B2 to show "Pension". I cannot use any filtering or text to columns as the word Pension can be anywhere within the text in A1 and I have thousands of entries. So I need a function.
I have an excel file in which the cell has more than 3000 entries, like following. I would like to copy the contents before ";" to next row & continue.
Answer should be in excel: CN=123,CN=12,CN=ABC,CN=AB CN=345,CN=34,CN=CDF,CN=DC CN=510,CN=51,CN=PQR,CN=PQ
I do not know how can I achieve this through "Macro". I would like to detect ; in the cell & copy the contents before/after it in the next rows & continue till the last figure.
Is there a formula to find a specific word through many columns? Between A1 and L4500 i got a lot of diffrent information. I want to show if there is any cells in the row with the specific text, a formula in column M. Etc. If C100 got "topside" a notice in column M
I need a vba code that will find all the columns (j) which there cell(1,j) includes the word "Date". the word "date" will be a part of a title, for exmple: "due date", "starting date"
I am currently using this formula - =SUMPRODUCT(--(MONTH(Leads!B3:B999)=1),--(YEAR(Leads!B3:B999)=2013),--((Leads!J3:J999)="Contract"))
This gives me the count of rows that have Jan as the month, 2013 as the year and Contract word in column J. Now I want to add another column to be checked. That column has values in format - Design: X, Design: Y, Design: Z etc.
So I want to have the condition above and the cells that have the word Design.
In my attached file, I've atttached a sample whereby in Sheet1 to Sheet3 I have data with the same format.
I want to copy all data with TD_SUB_ACNT_CODE = ETMY0100 into Sheet4. My actual data actually have more than 10 sheets and the sheet count can be more.
I have a large spreadsheet with about 18000 rows or data and about 60 columns. I need to a macro to find a specific word in a column like "charge" and anytime that word is found in the column to insert a blank cell in front of it.
Currently the sheet looks like this:Fee AChargeFeeChargeFee AChargeFeeChargeFee AChargeFee AChargeNeed to get it to look like this: (so I can sort and subtotal)Fee AChargeFee AChargeFee AChargeFee ACharge
I have absolutely no idea how to get starting on this one. I've got a long string in cell B1. At some point there is the word "oms:SomeString," (without the quotes). I need to know whether SomeString is somewhere in the active sheet or not (the workbook running the VBA-code is not the active sheet). I can't just compare the cell B1 because it contains multiple words. Any hints are very welcome.
I have at database which i want to search in... The problem is that i wanted to search in specific cells, or ranges. So i made a for loop searching for words in one range.. But it doesn't work.
For i = 0 To antal - 1 Step 1 Worksheets("Søg").Select If Range("B5") = "X" Then Sheets("Database").Select c = InStr(1, Range("B" & 2 + anRow * i), sgbygsag, 1) Sheets("Søg").Select Range("A1") = c End If Next
anRow is the delimiter between to databases. And sgbygsag is the string i am searching for, i have made sure that this really is a string. No matter what I do this code sets Range("A1") to "0".
I've been working on my original problem and have gotten a little closer to the results I'm looking for but not quite there. Basically, I'm now running into a problem of only finding the 1st occurence in a range of cells when I want to find every occurrence and show the result. Also, the range of cells to look for in my argument has 2 criteria, the start date and the end date. Can anyone tell me if there's a way to search through a range of cells and return every instance of that cell even if it's duplicated?
I've also attached my project to better understand what I'm trying to accomplish which is the use of a Gantt Chart as an employee scheduler as opposed to a task (or project) scheduler.
I am new to Excel and just starting with formulas. I am wondering if a formula can handle the following:
We have a column that has a url in each cell. Example (I removed the http:// before it so that all the words show up and it doesn't change to a clickable link):
We would like to tell it to copy the portion after the last forward slash and until the period and put it in another cell. In the above example it would give us sylvantropicalbirdi. We then would want to append a _t to it.
Is this possible or am I just wasting my time trying to figure it out?
This had been hunting me for weeks and I still could not come over it after weeks of study the conditional formating IF, match, index, Vlookup, etc to find several duplicated value, e.g Column B = Name 1 & Row B = Time and so on, where as Name will have data of Name 1 duplicated in different time, while row B, "Time"would change to a different Name and maybe it would go back to Name one.
My problem was dont know which formula I can use in a different sheet to bring back the data to Name 1 did Task A at Time A, while Name 1 did Task B at Time K, etc. If this is not Name 1, then Name B replace above.
