Last Word Or Number In Column

Dec 31, 2008

I have used this formula to get the last value in a column:

=LOOKUP(9.99999999999999E+307,Items!A:A)

That seems to be the most elegant formula that I have seen at this Message Board.

But what about the most elegant formula to get the last word or value or error or TRUE/FALSE in a column?

I have used this formula (entering it with Ctrl + Shift + Enter):

{=OFFSET(Items!A1,MAX(ROW(Items!A:A)*(Items!A:A""))-1,0)}

How many of you know other more elegant or efficient formulas?

How To Search For A Word In A Column And Have Entire Row Opaque Once Word Is Found

Sep 3, 2009

I need my macros to search for the word "Cancel" or "Cancelled" in columns "T" and "U". Once found, I need the macros to make that entire row an opaque shading.

There will be other wording in these cells that contain "Cancel" or "Cancelled". Is it possible for the macros to search in the sentence and find the words "Cancel" or "Cancelled"

I started on the code below but am stuck.

How To Find Specific Word And Sum The Column According To That Word

Mar 14, 2014

I would like to have a formula find a specific word in column L and return the sum from column E for the same fund from column C.

I tried using =SUMIF(L:L,"*annual*",E:E) but that gives me the sum of annual for the entire column. I need to be able to specify the fund.

word "annual" also appears in "semi annual" so I need to be able to separate the two.

Creating PDF File From Word Document Inside Folder With ID Number And Reference Number?

Jul 31, 2014

I have an excel database where I register cases. I have in it a button that creates a folder with and ID nr that is in column A (I create new ID nr in the next row, when I press the button it will create a folder with that ID nr and inserts a blank word document in it). We have a template that we copy to the folder (depending what type of case). The idea would be that once the template is filled in and ready to print, It would take the values from the ID nr and a reference number a few cells to the right. Is it possible to tell excel to open the word document in the folder and create a PDF version with the ID nr and reference number. (there are only 2 templates, so the macro would have to look for one of the two in the folder) The names of the templates are: "Standard" and "Other". I guess the best way to start maybe this would be that I select the cell with the ID nr and then press a macro button to have this done. One thing that needs to be done, is to put a copy in the same folder and another in a second folder called "Binder" in my documents folder.

If Fill In A Number Open Word And PDF Doc That Is Attached To That Number

Jun 3, 2014

I have on the first tab a screen where you can fill in the name of the .doc or .pdf file.

That works fine, but now I would like that when I fill in a number and click on test, it opens te .doc and .pdf file that is attached for that number.

If you take a look at the pdf file you will see a second and a third tab.

First column is the number they need to fill in and the second column is the name of the .doc or .pdf that needs to be opened with that specific number.

How to link it and open both files for that specific number.

But not every number has a .doc as well as a .pdf.

Word 2 To Be Bumped Over To The Next Column And Word 3 To The Column After That

Dec 7, 2009

I've imported a lot of data and it looks like this:

blahblahblahWord 1 Word 2 Word 3

First, I want to erase the "blahblahblah"

Second, I want Word 2 to be bumped over to the next column and Word 3 to the column after that.

Is there a formula to do this? There's so many rows of data that it will take a long time to do it manually.

Converting A Word/Value To A Number

Nov 7, 2008

I am creating a review sheet/skill matrix using excel and need to be able to convert a particular selection to a number in the adjacent cell to work out the users efficiency (long story that i wont bore you with)

So basically i have a question/statement in cell A and a drop down answer menu in cell B containing up to 5 possible answers (very poor, poor, ok, good, very good). In cell C i would like to insert a formula that allocates a number dependant on the selection in cell B. So if the user selects very poor in cell B cell C states 1, if cell B has poor selected then cell C states 2 etc etc

Converting Word To Number Value?

Jun 5, 2013

I am trying to create a spreadsheet to keep track of an online racing league that I'm in. I have created columns for the racers, and rows for the races. What I would like to do is type in 1st, and it represent the number 13 for when I do an autosum at the bottom of that column. It would be easier for me to type in the position place, instead of the points value. The position place will always carry the name numeric value. Here is what I have so far:

Extracting Word Coming After Number

May 14, 2014

I have a column with codes coming after a # symbol and want to extract just the code from the cell. The code could be 2 or 4 characters in length. Some examples:

#AA abcdef

From this I would want the formula to return #AA.

#ABCD qwerty

From this, I would want the formula to return #ABCD.

The #Code should but may not always be the first word in the cell, so it needs to find the # symbol and then take the next x characters until a space is found. Note that the reason code may be the only text in the field, so a space may not be there at all. For instance,

#RR

Should just return the #RR.

Edit: This actually has become more complex now. The cell could be

#AA{text}

And for that, I would just want the #AA.

The formula would need to begin at the # and return just the next x capital letters.

Converting A Number Into A Word Depending On Several Factors (age, *** Etc)

Nov 4, 2009

I have a spreadsheet where I want to record the VO2max value (a number indicating the maximum volume of oxygen a person can utilise) of a person.

The VO2max is just a number, normally between 30-60.

I then need excel to look up the VO2max value (i.e. “35”) and give that number a predetermined inputted value name in a different cell (i.e. “low” or “fair”, “good”, “very good” etc etc).

However, as VO2max is also affected by age and *** I also have a column for the participants age and *** and I want excel to use that to make the value name.

E.g. in a 24 year old male a VO2max of 32 is “low”
But, in a 42 year old female a VO2max of 32 would need to be classed “”moderate”

Any ideas how this can be done? can it be done?

I could post the table containing the age range, values and names if I knew how to post an excel sheet on here.

Extract Number Then Precedes Given Word In A Cell?

Dec 8, 2012

The structure of my data (in each cell) is: Alpha Jan 13 35.00 Grams. So it is a record of an item (alpha in this cell), date (Jan 13), and number of grams. I need to find every cell that has this kind of record in a large data set, and after every occurrence of "Grams" I want to extract the number of grams. In this case 35.00. Note the place numbers are not equal. For example in another cell the record could be "Beta March 20 350.00 Grams".

Recognize Conversion (word To Number) And Multiplication Factors?

May 20, 2009

I'm trying to make a table of the total amount of a liquid used throughout the day. Here is what I am trying to do: In cell D4, I want to be able to enter something similar to the following: 3cup+2bottle+1liter

and by doing so, Excel can automatically recognize that 1cup is 8oz, 1bottle is 17oz, and 1liter is 34 oz because of the reference chart provided on the side. Also, it would be able to notice the 3, 2, and 1 amounts so it would multiply accordingly so it would know to do this: (3*8)+(2*17)+(1*34)

and then put the calculated amount in the cell. The correct answer should be 92oz. Is there a way for Excel to recognize the conversions (i.e. whenever it sees 'cup' it will multiply by 8) and multiplication factors (i.e. 3, 2, 1)?Is there a formula I can enter that I can just "drag" down to the upcoming days in column D?

I know I can just do something like this: (3*G4)+(2*G5)+(1*G6).

Excel 2007 :: Counting Number Of Times A Word Appears

Dec 12, 2011

I have a 2007 Excel spreadsheet (saved as .XLS) with worker names in column A and error types in column B. Column B can have multiple entries (which are sometimes duplicative of each other) separated by a hard return.

What I need to do is run tallies to determine the number of errors by type for each person, counting the value every time it appears, even if it is more than once in a particular cell. The ultimate goal is to generate a formula to track the number of occurrences for all error types types for the person in Column A (i.e. one formula each to track ABC's Procedural errors, ABC's Technical errors, ABC's Admin errors, DEF's Procedural, etc) though ideally I just need a formula to calculate any one of those and I can edit it to get the rest. Here's a sample screenshot:

The COUNTIFS formula is where I started but that only seems to count cells with the value as opposed to occurrences of the value. I did find this formula in my searches but it doesn't seem to work:

=SUM(LEN(B1:B100)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(B1:B100),"Procedural","")))/LEN("Procedural")
