I have a sheet (example attached) I need a formula to recognise only the numeric values either by automatically deleting the words or by entering the numbers in another corresponding sheet, either would do.
View 5 RepliesI am trying to do is extract the volume size of products in 'ml'
from 10k plus products from a description field cell.
this description field could also contain the weight of the product in grams
so I cannot just do a search for a numeric string ,
it has to be associated with the milli-litres statement .
is is possible to do a sort of ' *ml ' search and then select and copy to another cell ???
I have in column D starting D9, I have numbers starting at 1, and may finish at 100. But there could be duplicates, 1,2,3,3,4,5,6,6,7,7,8,9,10,10,11,12,13,.........
I would like to only copy the range D9 to H (End of column D), ignoring all the duplicate numbers, to another sheet.
So on the second sheet, it would be 1,2,3,4,5,6...... with the data copied from E,F,G and H.
I was wondering whether it is possible to have excel ignore the text portion of a given cell. Or alternatively, have excel add in units (or specified text) after you input an initial value so that the cell can be used in a formula.
I have noticed that if I have cell A1 as 1 min and autofill, excel will recognize the number value and still put 2 min in A2, 3 min in A3, etc. However I can not use a function or any formula as the result will be #Value or another error.
I am looking for a way to be able to use the cells in formulas, and I do not want to put the text portion of the cells into another row/column.
I have setup a formula with an if statment, so if a cell on another sheet = a certian txt then my sheet A will equal a certian txt, But the problem is i also need to count the cells that contain txt on sheet A, but when i setup a CountA Formula on sheet A it counts the cells with Formula's in then is there a way to only count the result and not include the counting of formula's?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a spreadsheet and need to ignore one of the cells (P29) if cell value is Zero or Blank and display a blank cell which in this case is (Q2
My current formula is
=SUM($P$19:P29)/2
I'm in a situation where I need to find a workaround for a circular argument. I've decided that having a macro to run would work rather than have a formula in the cell I want populated.
Objective:
I need a macro to either completely ignore the contents of A31 or to change A31 based on the contents of B31. Sometimes there's a B32. Sometimes there's a B667. In which case, this would need to work for all cells A31-A667.
If B31 contains CHERRY or PEACH I want A31 to be altered to say TASTY. IF B31 contains SLIME I want A31 to be altered to say NASTY. If B31 does NOT contain, CHERRY, PEACH, or SLIME I need whatever is already in A31 to remain unchanged.
This would need to continue down the rows until there are no more contents in column B.
Best guess:
I like said - I'm awful. All I could come up with is an IF statement that isn't even complete.
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("PEACH",B31)),IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("CHERRY",B31)),"TASTY",(some formula
that doesn't change the contents of the cell))
But that's something I would have in cell A31 rather than a macro
I have a column of several thousand entries listed as numeric with a scientific symbol eg.
1.4mSv
19.53mSv/1mSv (some have a mix and or alpha/numeric range)
I want to convert them to the numeric value only. I'm extracting to a chart which is not recognising the alpha and throwing the data out. I tried find and replace, trying various options within the 'replace format' tab with no joy.
I have a few thousand products codes (i.e ABCD123BLA08 or SHU267BLA) They are non standardised in length or structure. I wish to pull out everything upto the end of the third numeric digit.( ie ABCD123 and SHU267) I cannot use left as they are all different lengths. Ideally i would serach for a non numeric char after the number then use left up to that point. Search can't do this, FIND can't do this.
Summary
ABCD123BLA08 would be ABCD123
SHU246BLU would be SHU246
I147ORT08-12 would be I147
I have a cell that contains a string of characters that were combined from two different cells. What would the formula be for excel to ignore the characters that are from one of the cells? In other words, if cell A1 contains ABCD123 and cell A2 contains XYZ (the length of the string in A2 varies in length), the combined string is ABCD123XYZ. In cell B1 I would like excel to ignore the contents of cell A2. This seems simple but I'm not coming up with the right syntax.

I need to write a macro for find a value in all sheets in current workbook. The problem is put like this: I have to write a ID (for DVD archiving) in a column but testing that generated value is unique in entire workbook (I have multiple sheets, organized by movie genre). I can use find method and testing for value <> Nothing but it always said that the value is present (the current cell value); there is any method to omit selected cell value? I think "After:=" parameter can do this but I don't figure out how to handle with it...
View 4 Replies View RelatedWell following on from my question earlier, I am still playing with my timesheet/rota I'm developing.
I have a start time and an end time, which is formatted as hh:mm then an hours cell which adds them up for you.
BUT if someone is on a rest day or a holiday day or a sick day etc, I would like them to be able to type that in without the cell that adds the hours up going doo laly!!!!! (######)
So, is there anyway they can type say 'R' and then getting the hours total cell to ignore it because it isn't a time?
I have a column that has cells with values as
19352510
C084111X AA
24253081
A001290U AA
19599291
48413321
I want to write an If Statement is a column next to each entry that denotes two options either Broker or Agent. Where the code is say 19352510 then Broker and where it is say C084111X AA then Agent.
Broker codes will never contain a letter. The Agent code will always start and finish with a letter.
cell A1 is equals to B1 because the cell C1 contains the number 1.
Now if i change the value of the C1 to 2 how can i make the A1 shows the value of the B2 ?
Just like. [A1]=B(C1-content)
I am trying to delete a row if the cell value of column A is a number and not a name.
What i have been using to remove things is this.

Last = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
For G = Last To 1 Step -1
If (Cells(G, "A").Value) = "" Then
[Code].....
I have the following issue:
=AR85*36*75*6.29
The above formula does not return any value and it simply appears as it is keyed. Cell AR85 has 5. I know it is something to with this cell, but I cannot fix it. In fact the whole Column AR has these values downloaded. I tried "text to columns" but it still doesn't work.
I have compiled data from accross my branches, where in a 14 digit voucher number has been fed into the system along with data. The problem is that there is no unique format as this voucher number is fed in free format area.
.
i need to extract this consignment number from the cell value. for example,
A10 Contains "voucher No 12345678901234 paid"
A11 Contains "spl cons 15454563218921 thru person"
A12 Contains "incurred for recurring exp 45678932145826"
.
writing a macro to extract this 14 digit voucher number.
.
Sub Test2()
'From the top down
If IsEmpty(Range("A1")) Then
Range("A1").Select
Else
Range("A1").End(xlDown).Offset(1, 0).Select
End If
End Sub
I would like to change this to find the first non-numeric cell (technically the column i'm searching is dates, but i assume those are seen as being numerical). I tried to change this line:
If IsEmpty(Range("A1")) Then
TO
If IsNumeric(Range("A1")) Then
But as many of you know it didn't work (i also tried variations of IsNumeric(Range("A1")).Value=True
I am trying to check some data (about 5000 rows worth) and don't want to have to go through each row. What I need to do is check whether the 7th number in a string is below 5, and then to return a text result for above 5 and a different result for below 5. For example:
B4: 88050170088
7th value = 7, therefore return "Male"
I have tried =IF(MID(B4,7,1)>5,"Female","Male") but it is not working and I can't figure out why..could also just be making a rookie mistake....
SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(E10:E29,E10:E29)>0,1)). this is the formula I currently use to read employee numbers and it works when we just use the number i.e. 011004. When we use the full employee number with alpha characters it does not work i.e. ASMO011004. I have used helper cells to do similar, but am not wanting to do this way for simplicity reasons.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am stuck on this one. In the attachment I have values pulling into N3:N7 based on a drop down choice. Some of the numbers are numeric (no decimals), others are currency (no decimals), others are percentages (2 decimals), etc.
Is there a way to pull values I'm currently pulling into column N and have those values match the format of the source? I've tried converting it into TEXT but then I cannot place conditional formatting data bars on the values and have it work.
I have a data import from our client something like this:
a1:12/11/2009 shoe bags blank-** $700.00 $0.00 $3,949.00
How can i delete all the numeric data in the cell?
i need only the text: shoe bags blank-** in a2
how format or programing any cell for only accept numeric value and not alphanumeric value.
I have cell E15 in Sheet1 which will take an 8 digit Personnel Number, which can have leading 0's. I want to prevent a user from entering any characters other than 0123456789. I have worked out that I need to use the Worksheet_Change event and I need to use the function IsNumeric.
No matter what I do I can't trigger the Worksheet_Change event!
how to pick the numeric part out from a cell?
e.g. range("a1").value= 384HK
in range("b1"), i would like to have only 384, ignoring the HK
any excel tools or VBA code can accomplish this? there is a bunch of data that comes like this and i just dont have time to retype only the number one by one
I, too, am trying to use excel to the fullest. My first issue is, I would like to convert the numberic grade in one cell to a letter grade in another cell. I am not really good with all the vocabulary, but would love to learn it, and can copy a formula pretty well!!!! Not so good with functions and macros but would love to learn. All help appreciated.
View 11 Replies View RelatedI have an excel 2008 sheet and want to add cells in an odd way. Here is the best way I can describe it.
I want a formula to add cells based off a number value in another cell.
So it would be something like
IF M3= 1 add C5 to SUM ; If not then go to next step
IF M3= 2 add F5 to SUM ; If not then go to next step
IF M3= 3 add I5 to SUM ; If not then go to next step
IF N3= 1 add C5 to SUM ; If not then go to next step
IF N3= 2 add F5 to SUM ; If not then go to next step
IF N3= 3 add I5 to SUM ; If not then go to next step....................
I thought I had this solved but an inconsistency has shown up. I have a long list of chemical formulas that I want to format (partially) as subscript.
Basically what I need the macro to do is look at each character within a cell and check to see if it is numeric. If it is AND it follows a non-numeric character it should be formatted as subscript.
Examples
H2O the 2 should be subscript
H2SO4 the 2 and the 4 should be subscript
2CCl4 only the 4 should be subscript
