How To Select Parts Of Text
Mar 1, 2010
Does anyone know of a way to select fragments of the following text?
The string is "toby.cameron1".
I need to be able to select just the "toby" and "cameron" parts.
Also this string is variable in that it might be "james.brown" or similar without the number at the end.
I can't use a Left or Right statement because of the varying length of names and the uncertainty of having a number at the end.
Is there a way I can copy the start of the string until the period. And do the same from the end but ignore the number whether it's present or not.
From that, is there anyway to copy the numbers off the end of a string?
i.e. my string is ASY-623 or DRGN-12 or WDSR-7
The string will always be letters a dash and then numbers.
How do I copy only the numbers?

I have a document needed to be printed with some pages in the middle in landscape page type, the rest in portrait. If using Word it would be easier, but in Excel I cant find the section break to chage page setup separately. Is there anyway to do it. Currently I'm printing the document separately in portrait and then landscape with some page break added and page number modified. However it's quite troublesome and easy to make mistake.

I'm developing a fixture list (involving 26,000 individual fixtures) I'm trying to come up with a Macro which will enable me to delete part of each cell containing the two team reference numbers and the match number, and paste it in another column. I'd like to do this for all 26,000 fixtures.
In case you didn't understand that too well. For example, with the cell value of '1v2-54', I'd like to get rid of the '-54' and put it in another cell.
But the key thing is, using this principle, I'd like all 26,000 fixtures to be done this way. Obviously I'm not going to do it by hand.
As you can see from the screenshot, the pattern of how the column goes:

I need separating parts of a string of text to go into separate columns.
Fortunately the spreadsheet is in the same format in relation to spaces and numbers of characters with the exception of the red text which can be any where between 2 and 50 characters.
I actually need AL46 to go to Col B, 001488616 into Col C, Valve, Pressure Equalizing, Gaseous into Col D and D03079/0002 into Col E.
(65) AL46 ALSPO 0299999999 A20LS DISPOSALS.(001488616) Valve, Pressure Equalizing, Gaseous.D03079/0002

I have a spreadsheet with 2 worksheets. On the first "active parts" I have a list of active part numbers and on the second "All Parts" I have all of the parts available.
I want to compare every part in the All Parts worksheet to see if the part number exists on the Active Parts sheet - if it's there, I would like it to return the value "Active" in column B in All Parts. I have a formula in column B in All Parts that seems to work for the first few, but as soon as it finds one that is active, the rest of the cells below all return "Active".

I have sheets with names of people in columns....some married...some not. When they are married, here's a sample format...
Jones, Donald T | Baker, Sarah Jane | Jones, Sarah Jane | Smith, Sarah J | Jones, Sarah Jane Smith
In this example, I would like to be able to determine which of the Sarah's belongs to Donald w/o having to visually look at each record ( 100,000's of records). (FYI: the names for Sarah would/could be her Maiden Name and possibly a name or two from a former marriage). What I need to be able to do is match and extract the names of Jones, Donald T and Jones, Sarah Jane and Jones, Sarah Jane Smith and eliminate Smith, Sarah J and Baker, Sarah Jane.
In my example, Donald is in the first column, but can be in any column on a row so the name positions are random across the columns. However, the format for each column is then same...Last Name, First Name Middle Name(or Initial) with a comma always after the last name in each column. The length of the last name also varies.
VBA or Formula that will search the cells in the columns of each row and return the names (complete contents of the cells with matching last names) that have a matching last name for that row.

I have four cells that contain text. All have connected check boxes with TRUE FALSE.
I need to be able to select anyone one of these cells with a check box, and have it's text appear in one separate cell eg: A1.
I have no issue connecting check boxes etc. I have no issue reproducing the text from any of these cells into multiple cells with a check box. But they have to be selectable and reproducing in one cell only (eg"A1").

I am wanting to use VBA to select a text box that is in, say Range D65:AD65. I will then delete the text box. I imagine this is simple, but I know very little VBA. I tried numerous searches on things like text box, shape, and shaperange, but could not find the solution. My range is constantly changing so I do not want a specified range in the code. I already have code ready to have the range selected, just can't select the text box in it.

I want to write VBA code to select a cell in a row if one of the cells in that row contains a pre-define text. e.g. In cell A15 the text is Blackbird and A25 the text is Redbird. Sometimes this changes and A33 contains the text Blackbird and A19 the text Redbird. I want a VBA code that will select the cell in column E in the row that contains the text Blackbird. I must be able to specify the text and the column.

I have files where empty textboxes have been copied over tens if not hundreds of times, thereby slowing down the scrolling speed immensely.
I would be interested if there was a macro to
a) select all empty text boxes
b) select and delete all empty text boxes

I am working with a spreadsheet that has asterisks in place of text that should be added. The problem is that it is surrounded by HTML code. I need to be able to select the cell, go to, and highlight the text, where I can hit delete, or just start typing to replace the asterisks, BUT NO OTHER TEXT IN THAT BOX CAN BE EDITED.
Attached is an example of what I'm wanting to replace.
example 1.jpg
I want to create a macro that will go to the text I have highlighted here, and STOP just how this is, so I can simply put what I want in place of the asterisks, and move to the next cell.
Is this possible?

I'm making a project where there's a list of skills and next to each skill is a cell where the user can put how many skill points are in that particular skill. Now, on a separate worksheet is the place where it shows the consolidation of what skills they know, and how many points are in each. My question is, how can I copy over these skills and how many ranks are in each, without copying over the skills in which they put no points.

I often come across a situation where I know a given total, and I know it comes from numbers within a given list, but I do not know which particular numbers they are. The onyl way to find out is to add every single combination of all the numbers in the list. I want to know if there is any formula within Excel which would help me to do that, given that the numbers of combinations are:
Number of items in list Number of combinations
1 1
2 3
3 7
4 15
5 31
6 63
7 127
8 255
9 511
10 1023
Obviously, I would like to be able to do this for any number of items.

I have a cell located in $X$1 that is always populated with a person's full name.
I need to display their email address, which is the first letter of their first name then their last name + '@company.com', in another cell on Sheet2
So for example 'Bob Smith' would be 'bsmith@company.com'
How can I go into cell X1 of Sheet1 and copy the first letter & the remaining letters after the space in between the names and paste them into Sheet2?
