1) In any cell, I would like to remove "Area#xxxxxxxxx" (where x are random numbers).
Example : "INFO Log - [sys] Area#541185471Character#46545"
2) I would like to remove x characters before a word.
Example : 2013-08-28.txt@INFO
I would need to remove 14 characters before the character "@".
I tried to play with the LEN and RIGHT/LEFT formula but so far, I can't get it to work... The idea is to parse some text and remove the part in red (I was thinking about using SUBSTITUTE).
I'm trying to write to text file a HTML page that is in string variable sFullPage.
So far my code is like this:
Sub wrtHTML() Dim sFName As String ' Path and name of text file Dim iFNumber As Integer ' File Number
sFName = "c: est.html"
'Get an unused file number iFNumber = FreeFile
'Create new file or overwrite existing file Open sFName For Output As #iFNumber
'Write data to file....
How do I remove those first and last two marks (a double quote on each side + square mark from the end)? Do I use somehow wrong data types or wrong printing methods?
I want to change the character ~ with . in order to be able to make them numeric values to be feeded to other functions. But REPLACE seems not doing the job so I've been checking out other options such as seperating after and before the character ~. Details are below. I've been trying to use this formula to extract values from a delimited database which I open with excel. The formula that has brought me close is =IF(ISNUMBER(E51)=FALSE,LEFT(E51,LEN(E51)- FIND("~",E51)),E51)
14010~000 3210~0000
When I import the database, the figures above have originals as 14010.00000 & 3210.00000 but transfer to excel as above. As far as I have observed 9 character spaces are displayed & the DOT transfers to ~ for some reason. I need the LEFT section of the ~
I am exporting lots of data from a website and for some reason to do with html i am getting   in a few cells in my description column (column C), i think that means "& " in html. this occurs in some cells but not others when i paste it into Excel. I would like to remove these characters.
I know I can do it with crtl H and the replace field blank but I would like a formula so in the future the user will simply have to paste information and then get converted information out (as they will struggle to use excel).
I have a large excel file with the top seven rows such as you see in the attached file. In row five there is a bunch of info before the month and the year. What I want to do is get rid of that info besides the month and year. I than want to sort each column by the month and year so that all the columns are in sequential order.
I'm trying to write a UDF that takes the text in a cell and returns text with a list of forbidden characters removed from it. At the moment I have the following:
I have data in a column and each cell has an extra character at the end of it-
house; farm% school bus> football- trip to europe"
I once saw someone remove the characters with either a =LEFT( or =RIGHT( formula with a comma after the reference cell and some kind of FIND" " statement.
I have sentences which contains special characters (mentioned below) in a single column. I need to remove all special characters other than space. Could anyone help me on this...
I managed to produce the following code. It removes the the last character in a cell if it is a slash But most of the time there are more than one slashes at the end. How can I take care of these?
Code: For Each cell In Range("G2:G71") If Right(cell, 1) = "/" Then cell.Value = Left(cell, Len(cell) - 1) End If Next cell
i need a formula that will remove the first 2 characters and the last character from the below, so below the result should be R0131644, the number of characters vary from row to row, they are not always 11
I am trying to remove the last 6 character from a variable. I worked out how to do it using formula's in XL, but want to move this in to VBA. Currently I have this
I have the function below from http://www.ozgrid.com/VBA/extract-words-function.htm and have it working exactly as it's supposed to. Is it possible to adapt this to remove the last character of the text string, specifically the commas? My problem is that the raw data in one cell is like this (including commas) 0.333, 5.8874, 6.85423, 0.025. I separate each text string into separate cells but am left with the commas. I'm not using the "Data Text to Columns" option as I need the results in specific cells so they can then be used in calculations.
Function Get_Word(text_string As String, nth_word) As String Dim lWordCount As Long With Application.WorksheetFunction lWordCount = Len(text_string) - Len(.Substitute(text_string, " ", "")) + 1 If IsNumeric(nth_word) Then nth_word = nth_word - 1 Get_Word = Mid(Mid(Mid(.Substitute(text_string, " ", "^", nth_word), 1, 256), _ . Find("^", .Substitute(text_string, " ", "^", nth_word)), 256), 2, _ .Find(" ", Mid(Mid(.Substitute(text_string, " ", "^", nth_word), 1, 256), _ ............................
I would like to use the VBA code to remove ONLY the FIRST occurrence of the FIRST character specified (either "=" or "-") in each row in that column, so that I get:
First Text" - "blabla" SomeText2 = "blabla" SomeText3 = "blabla" SomeText4 = "blabla" SomeText5 --- "blabla" ...... ...and so on...
I tried to use this:
Code: Columns(2).Cells.Replace What:="-", Replacement:="", LookAt:=xlPart, _ SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False, _ ReplaceFormat:=False Columns(2).Cells.Replace What:="=", Replacement:="", LookAt:=xlPart, _ SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False, _ ReplaceFormat:=False but it replaces ALL occurrences of "=" and "-" and that is not what I need.
I also tried this code:
Code: With Range("B:B") .Value = Replace(.Value, "=", "", 1, 1) End With
I have a column of text where I need to remove all the characters to the right of the last occurance of a special character.
I think a process like reading from right to left, look for the first occurance of the special character, and return the characters to the left of this position.
If I can determine the position of the last occurance of the special character, I could use the LEFT function.
The SEARCH function is close. It finds the position of the first occurance of text inside text but it reads from left to right. I need to read from right to left.
Another approach is to examine each character one by one from right to left. If the character is not the special character, delete it. When the character is the special character, delete it and stop the process.
There is no consistency in the text. The total lengths vary. The number of times the special character occurs in the text vary. The number of characters to the right or left of the last special character vary.
I much prefer not to have the solution be some VBA because I need to share it with others who are even less capable than I am. We are using Excel 2003.
i am trying to remove the unknown character and extra space from the name. Though i use formula as trim or proper(trim), it is not removing the Unknown character / extra space. I have attached the few name as sample. Formula to remove these Unknown character / extra space, double space, special character from selected cell?
Essentially what I'm trying to accomplish is import a file from Quickbooks and determine whether it was a Credit Card, Check or Invoice based on the account number.
For example:
45-12345 should return the value CC in an adjacent cell because it contains the "-" character. I0123456 should return the value INV in an adjacent cell because it contains the "I" character. 01234567 should return the value ACH in an adjacent cell because it doesn't contain either character.
I tried using VLookup, but I can't figure out how to write a formula for when it just contains a character, only if it matches it or is text/number.
Switched to Excel after using OpenOffice and I'm stuck on knowing what an old a 'find and replace' formula would be in Excel. It would remove a specific character (or word) ONLY if it was the last characters in a cell.
The old find and replace for open office: Find: (.*)/$ Replace: $1
It's not that important now to delete a word, mainly the last slash '/' ONLY if it's the last character e.g. this data has 2 rows with a '/' as the last character
