How To Remove Square Carriage Returns From My Cells
Oct 12, 2007
I have a worksheet containing square carriage return symbols (see below).
EXAMPLES
Eg1. Baked[]Beans on []Toast
Eg2. Smoked[][]Salmon in Brine
Eg3. Ice[][][] Cream [][]Cosmopolitan
Eg4. Mixed[]Nuts[][]per kilo[][][][]
Eg5. [][]Baby Shampoo[]Fragrance Free
This data was extracted from an SQL Database and dumped into Excel.
I would like to know if someone can suggest a script to replace all occurrences of [] with a space.
Once I perform this, I can then perform a Search/Replace function as follows:
Replace 4 spaces with 1 Space
Replace 3 spaces with 1 Space
Replace 2 spaces with 1 Space
Hopefully then, the final result will appear as follows:
Eg1. Baked Beans on Toast
Eg2. Smoked Salmon in Brine
Eg3. Ice Cream Cosmopolitan
Eg4. Mixed Nuts per kilo
Eg5. Baby Shampoo Fragrance Free
Eg5. is a little tricky because a space will appear at the beginning of the cell (see above). It would be good if there's a script to remove occurrences of this also.
I have an SQL query that returns some text data to a cell from another system. In this system the users sometimes enter superfluous carriage returns after the text.
Can someone tell me how to write a formula/VBA code that would remove the trailing carriage return/s.
I need a macro that runs through the cells on a sheet and removes all carriage returns. The carriage returns appear as small squares amongst the text (they come from a CSV file).
When I save my file as text and upload into a program, I get a response saying that my file can't be processed due to carriage returns. What are these things and how do I get rid of them? My excel file has about 6000 rows and 50 columns of data.
I have 4 cells with text in them that I am trying to combine into one cell and not have any blank lines between the text. The cells are arranged like this:
A1="One"B1=Cell where the text is combined A2="Two" A3="Three" A4="Four"
I set the cell alignment in B1 to wrap text and use the following formula in B1: =IF(A1=,,A1)&IF(A2=,,CHAR(10)&A2)&IF(A3=,,CHAR(10)&A3)&IF(A4=,,CHAR(10)&A4)
The problem is if there isnt anything in one of the cells in column A it makes a blank line between the text in column B. I am trying to get the text to the top of B1 and not have any blank lines between the lines of text. Is there a way to change the formula so that it will do the following three things:
1. If the cell A1 doesnt have anything in it then dont put the value in B1. 2. If A1 has something in it and A2 has something in it then put the text of A1 in B1 and HAVE a carriage return after the A1 text. 3. If A1 has something in it and A2 does not have anything in it then put the text of A1 in B1 but DO NOT have a carriage return after it.
I have done a search on carriage returns/characters and what has been suggested is not working. I have BOTH carriage returns in the cell and also the boxes (that I assume are also carriage returns. I tried the substitute formula (=substitute(cellref,char(10),)) in excel but it only removes the alt+enter carriage return. I tried the various suggestions of find & replace but the chr$..etc did not work! Is there a formula to clear both in one (not a macro!)..?
I'm working with a document that has several cells which require double carriage returns within cells. The location of each space is marked with an @ sign. A few weeks ago, I found an article online that explained how to do a find replace where the find value was '@' and the replace value was a series of numbers/characters that created a carriage return. When I doubled the carriage return code I got my two spaces. If I remember correctly, the string that I entered still appeared in the cell, so I needed to clean up afterwards by replacing that string with ' ', but it still left the line break.
I need some direction on how to proceed with dismantling an address cell. I have a workbook that one field is an address label field. What I mean is the entire address is entered in one field just as it would appear on an envelope. I need some suggestions on how to break this apart and create individual fields for the individual parts.
Which works great for values in the reference cell that do not contain carriage returns, which is possible. The problem I am running into is that if the reference cell contains a carriage return the destination cell just ignores it and crams the lines together for display purposes. Is there a way/formula I can use to force excel to display 'exactly' as entered, in cell returns and all?
Is there a way to delete excessive carriage returns at the beginning of data. I pull reports from a SharePoint list where submitter entries often often contain multiple carriage returns before the text or data. I use ASAP utlitily to clean out excessive spaces before and after data, but I don't find a way to remove these multiple carriage returns so that the text entries are easily viewable when row-height is less than gigantic. Cells with extra carriage returns before the text entries end up looking like the following: ___________________________________________________________________ | | | | | | | | | Product page for CQ1-14047.LA is missing Swindex section (Core Drivers). | |__________________________________________________________________|
I have a situation where I have source data formatted like this:
Document ID Document Name Author
[Code]....
What I would like to do is to get each author on a separate row. I am able to do that using Text to Columns using the carriage return and then doing a transpose. I've also seen some threads where VBA is used to accomplish similar. However where I am stuck at is getting everything else to drop down accordingly. I.e. with the data set above I'd like to get to:
The best way to explain my problem is to look at the table below:
How it looks now: ApplePrice 1 Price 2 Price 3FruitDeliciousPearStore 1 Store 2FruitVery DeliciousHow I want it to look:ApplePrice 1FruitDeliciousApplePrice 2FruitDeliciousApplePrice 3FruitDeliciousPearStore 1FruitVery DeliciousPearStore 2FruitVery Delicious
I need a formula to tell me whether a number is a square number, or I can do it so to see if the square root of a number is an interger. So far Iv been doing
A1 = γ2 A2 = AND(RIGHT(A1,1)=INT(A1))
True or false outcome is fine, and it has been working fine on some examples, but the problem comes when I have γ49, as it is 2 digits long. I've seen a formula similar to find the root symbol, and look at all the numbers upto this point (maybe FIND).
For some reason it is returning #VALUE! in some cells. I think its something to do with the last part of the formula where it is bold.
The formula as you can see looks at data and matches relevant data to return specific depending on what has been matched. Now at the end it is matching the correct data and return that value however i want to divide the value by another (another value*4.33).
I have a nice case to prepare and need weekly riskfree interest returns on the UK treasury bond. Right now I have daily returns and want to convert them into weekly. The problem is, weeks do not always contain five trading days. How can I turn my data into weekly average riskfree interest returns?

i have a list of 100 product codes in row b2:cw2, colum A contains dates in the month, yesterdays first and then each previous day before that going down, and the columns B:CW are the number of each particular product sold on that day.
I'd like to insert a formula in row 1 which will look down each column and count the number of blank cells from B3 to the first cell to contain a value, i.e. the number of days since this particular product was sold.
The function below only returns a true value for cells with a month value of September, but not those with December, March or June. Each cell in Row 1 contains a month. A1 = 9/1/2009. B= 10/1/2009 and so on.
I have a formula counting non blank cells in another sheet 'Mem' I know there are 21 entries in Column M, which it used to show as the result. Today it shows 0. The 21 entries are still there.
Code: =COUNTA(Mem!$M:M)
The cell containing the formula is B6. The bottom bar of Excel has: Ready Circular:B6
I am doing a cross between two parents, whose possible genotypes are AA, BB, or AB. I want to use if clauses to look at the parent genotypes, (paternal is listed in column E and maternal is listed in column F) and then give me the possible recombinant genotypes in column G. there are 9 possible combinations (recombinants in parenthesis)
AA x AA (AA) BB x BB (BB) AA x AB (AA, AB) AB x AA (AA, AB) BB x AB (BB, AB) AB x BB (BB, AB) AB x AB (AA, AB, BB) AA x BB (AB) BB x AA (AB)
I tried using if clauses, but i don't think i can nest more than 7 cases, and I have 9 different combos.
I have a code that opens another workbook and looks at some cells and then returns the values. The problem is F20 in the opening document has a countif and gives the value but when it comes back into the main file it has the formula and not the value.
I'm having a real problem with the Vlookup formula in that I have used it in a spreadsheet to search, using approximate, rather than exact values, several tables where I have inserted raw data with no calculations and it works fine. But with one crucial series of cells where I am trying to return results from columns of fields that are the results of calculations, it sometimes returns the correct result and other times returns an empty field with seemingly no consistency at all.
I've been careful to make sure the data in the cells in the lookup column are in ascending order, as required. I've checked the formatting (all the lookup cells are numbers, no zeros with the thousands commas inserted, and all the return cells are currency with two zeros and the $sign) and the formatting is consistent.
Does anyone have a clue whether the calculations in the cells might be the problem or if it might be something else and, whatever the case, how I can workaround the problem?
I'm a relative novice with Excel. I'm using Version 2007 but I'm saving the file as an .xls.
However, is there a way that I can get Vlookup not to return N/A when I have a blank cell on the report (not in the data table). I want to be able to calculate the progressive grade average of a stduent as the year progrsses.
I have 6 rows A1-A6(sheetsize), they can be 1 of 8 numbers. (16,14,12,10, 5/8, 1/2, 3/8, 3/16) these are all metal gauges. The cell next to them B1-B6(sheetgauge) has a number that refers to how much sq ft each of these sheet metal sizes has. I would like a cell below A30 to add up all the sq ft in B1-B6 if it is 16 gauge. Then A31 will add up all the 14 gauge, etc.
How is this possible without having a huge formula.
Here is my standard formula, but it wont add the B cells together if more than one of the same sheet sizes.
