How To Select String In Excel On Right And Left Of Special Character
May 22, 2013
I want to select email addresses in a particular cell. Since every email address will contain @ so I want to extract the email address from the cell on the basis os all the characters to be selected on the left & right of the '@' before a space is encountered.
Eg
If the cell contains the below values:
91 121 5158123 / 5159123, 011 5103710
91 999 999 1123
info@designs.com
I only want the email address to extracted to the next cell. i.e. info@designs.com

I'm trying to use logic to identify trends...in each of the strings below, I want to count the occurrences of the left most character appearing consecutively. The answer is to the left
I'm trying to do this via a formula vs. vba if possible
BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB - 19
BBBDUDUUUUDDBBBBBBB - 3
UUDUDDUUUDUDBBBBBBB - 2
UDUDDUDUUUDDBBBBBBB - 1
[Code] .....

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 have an Excel sheet with lots of shortcuts in the first column. It's the entire shortcut, including the .lnk extension.
What I need to do is to be able to parse out the string to make the shortcut human readable when I create the hyperlink. I'm saving the output as HTML for a user to open these shortcuts. It's on an internal LAN & secure. Using various versions of Excel (2010, 2007 & 2003, predominately the first). Trying to make an ugly, 140+ character shortcut into a more readable form for web navigation purposes.
Up to a point, the shortcuts are similar:
a123meworkfolder1folder2folder3shortcut1.lnk
a123meworkfolder1folder4folder5shortcut1.lnk
a123meworkfolder1folder6folder7shortcut1.lnk
a123meworkfolder1folder8folder9shortcut1.lnk
but, later on, they vary from that point out.
a123meworkfolder1folder10folder10Afolder11shortcut1.lnk
a123meworkfolder1folder_12folder12Afolder12Bshortcut1.lnk
The strings are the same up to the 7th occurrence of the "" character, but after that, the foldernames start to change & the shortcut may be down a level (an extra folder) or more. Also, the lengths of the strings change as well, so I can only do positional parsing up to a point.

just had 11,000 customer account arrive and they are all messed up!
I am working through all the email address's and lots are not valid ones, is there a way i can make some sort of rule that willl do the following
If ther is no @ symbol, in Cells A ( any of A ) it drops them to the bottom of the list, or anything that just splits them up
Eg
fWGHFUI@JHEGF.COM
EFHWHEF@WEGFIW.COM
EKFGWIGF@YTRQUH.CO.UK
HJGIWEROPQWRP@WEYIO.COM
ASFHWIEGFIUQWEFH.COM
EHFIOQH12.CO.UK
This would split the bottom 2 email address away from the others as they dont have the @ symbol!

I have a userform with a textbox and an OK button and having clicked OK a particualar sheet is given the name in the textbox. If the character '/' is included in the textbox a standard Excel message appears explaining that this character cannot be used. On clicking 'END' on the message the userform automatically disappears and I have to close the file and reopen to end another name.
Is there any way that I could introducing my own basic messagebox which says 'The characters /, ? etc cannot be used' and on clicking OK the userform stays and you can try again.

I am working with 300k records and would like to export to statistics software that accepts special character delimited. I would like to use the character | for the delimitaed process because looking through the excel file i see there are commas and extra tabs in some cells so using those characters will screw up my data.

I'm working again with a large Inventory Database dump into a workbook and in the past the company appended the * character to designate an updated price on an item(column C). Its rocking my world to sort through things with this character as you can tell. I'm trying to find rows that column C has a * in, cut, and paste them into another sheet called "Updated". I would even accept just how I'd do a simple "find/replace all" on that character and then I can just update my macro and be on my way Anyway this is the macro thus far and as you can see it would just cut all rows and paste them to "Updated".
Sub Updated()
With Worksheets(1).Columns("C")
Set c = .Find("*", LookIn:=xlValues)
If Not c Is Nothing Then
firstAddress = c.Address
Do
c.EntireRow.Cut Destination:=Worksheets("Updated"). Range("A" & Worksheets("Updated").Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Row + 1)
Set c = .FindNext(c)
Loop While Not c Is Nothing And c.Address <> firstAddress
End If
End With
End Sub

I'm looking for a VBA Macro that will do the following:
1. Count number of cells in a given row that contain special character "*"
2. If there is an asterisk in a given row, return the column header(s) contained in row 1 of the spreadsheet that correspond to each instance of cell(s) that contains the "*".
Is there a way to do this? I've attached an example of what I'm talking about, (Column A shows the desired result.)

I have special character that I removed with =CLEAN formula.
It was only one character which represents carriage return. It looks like one little square with question mark inside.
After I applied =CLEAN formula it disappeared, but now I don't have space between these two words.
How could I replace this special character with space?

want a way to find out any special character in text file (.txt).
The .txt file I use is very large about 100 mb to 1GB. I need to find a way to write vba code that asks for input text file and the validates it and gives the message that following special characters are present in the file. Also, it gives their column number and row no's, where they are located.
The characters which needs not treated as special characters are numbers (0-9), alpha (A-Z) and special characters (@,-,%,$,+,=).

Sub TrimSlashesToRight()
Dim cell As Range
For Each cell In Range("AN2:AN2000")
cell = Left(cell, InStr(cell, "//") -1)
Next
End Sub
I cannot get it to run this, it always crashes on
cell = Left(cell, InStr(cell, "//") -1)
It will work fine like:
cell = Left(cell, InStr(cell, "//") + 0)
but then it leaves the first / in place, i want it to start deleteing before both //.

Pretty sure this has been asked but have searched the forum to no avail, but I need to extract the numbers from a value which has a letter on the end.
eg. 1000x I need to get out the 1000
or 2p I need the 2
I have sooooo many values ranging in numbers of digits, so just basic left(A1,2) won't work, I'm sure I've seen a search or find function but don't know how to use them!

I've created a user form that has a list box populated with a fairly standardized format - a product ID or model number followed by a dash ( - ) then followed by a description. Based on the users selection of an item in the listbox, certain rows will be copied over from another tab in the excel file.
An error occurs when a Model Number list box item is selected but not when a product ID is selected.
The difference between the two are AlphaNumeric vs only numeric.
USBLT15CMB - Product Description 1
1121 - Product Description 2
the code is:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim ID As Long
Dim Row As Long
Dim Cnt As Long
[Code]...
The macro stops on the ID = line

Could someone tell me if the following formula is valid?
=AND(F15="R*", I15>0)
I want to know if F15 contains 'R' or 'RW' but using a wildcard always returns false whether this correct or not.

I have a 2010 excel sheet containing 14 columns and 45082 rows in total. I am quite illiterate when it comes to writing macros but I know that what I need can be achieved with a set of codes.
To be more clear, I inserted two tables below. The first one represents the current data structure, and the second one is the way I want my data to look like.
Current data structure looks like
Variable 1
Variable 2
Variable 3

I'm not to familiar with macros or VBA so I hope someone can help me out with this.
I have 2 worksheets in this workbook. I want to select the range A2:K3 (or better yet, the first 2 data rows); the first row 1 contains column headers.
Then copy those two rows.
Next, select everything else in the worksheet and then Paste Special>Formats
Then select cell A1 (just to give the active cell a place to rest) and then do the same to the second worksheet.
Then save the workbook.
My code below is pretty much a recorded macro. I'm basically wanting to change this macro to be expandable as the worksheet grows.

this formula as a result =IF(LEFT(A3,1)="0",RIGHT(A3,LEN(A3)-1),A3) It worked great to strip the left most zero from a string of text numbers in the cells where the formula was applied.
However, now I need to put the zero back in lol!
So...how would I adjust the formula (or write a different one) to insert a zero as the first digit of a string of text digits?

I'm looking for some VBA code that would look at a column of data, look at each cell value in that column and if the cell value starts with the letter 'G' and the 5th character in that cell is not 'Z' or 'X' I would like to highlight that cell. Example:G123-123 would be highlighted whereas G123Z-123 would not.

I am creating a dialog box and would like to know how
Range("A1").Value
can be modified so that only the characters to the left of the first bracket identified are displayed in the msgbox.
NB! I cannot simply quote the section I want as A1 is always changing, using additional code.
e.g. Range("A1").Value would currently be
Paul McCartney (The Beatles, UK pop group, 1961-1970)
And I would like it to be
Paul McCartney
