I would like to limit a text cell to 40 characters. If greater than 40 characters are entered, the rest is truncated. Can this be done without VBA?
I have limited it by going Data - Validation
This has done two things. 1. Gives an error box with Error Alert Turned on. 2. Allows greater than 40 characters to be entered if Error alert is turned off.
I have a data on a cell that says "Member: Name of Member"
The question is how could I remove the "Member:" and come up with "Name of Member"
I have 12000 rows in cell a1 with more than 30 characters in them. I would like a formula to go up to 30 characters from the left, then go back to the first empty space, put that info in B2, the rest I would like to put into c2.
A1
This is a test to show what who to do this.
So I need

I want to truncate the decimals like below: i.e.
2.22939393 -> 2.229
2.22977777 -> 2.229
3.33477 --> 3.334
1.062578 --->1.062

I'm trying to truncate (not round) a percentage, for example if 6.25% to 6.2%. I'm having issues figuring this out because the percentage already in the cell is a result of a formula (i.e. SUM=A1/B1.) Does anybody know a way to acheive this without having to sacrifice the formula already in the cell?

I want to take off the end the ---L, ---M, etc but don't know if there is something that will do that like a right formula but not.
And then I want to isolate the color which is 3 or 4 characters before the --- Last I want the style number which varies in length and goes to the - before the color.
This formula finds the last space from the right and returns the values less the last space and whatever is to the right-
=TRIM(IF(LEFT(Y25,2)="~C",REPLACE(LEFT(Y25,FIND("`",SUBSTITUTE(Y25," ","`",LEN(Y25)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(Y25," ",""))))),1,FIND(" ",Y25),""),RIGHT(Y25,LEN(Y25)-FIND(" ",Y25))))
Results of a item of a whole size:

However- I forgot I had added a criteria to convert records that have a fractional value from decimal to a fractional value and an extra space shows up. I need to alter the above formula to handle this additional condition, returning the value w/ out the second space and the size 10 shown below.

I am trying to get rid of some extra spaces at the end of a word in a cell.
As shown in the following code I have tried different functions to get remove them, but they are not working. Are those not spaces?
The cell has this word : "LPPJ4K2**" ' in excel the * appear as a white space
Code:
Filler = "LPPJ4K2**" ' this word is actually is in a cell
Filler = Trim(Filler) ' Not working
Filler = Application.Trim(Filler) ' Not working
Filler = Replace(Filler, " ", "") ' Not working

I have already created a VBA Script for other parts of this project, so I would like to add the script to the end rather than create a separate macro. If there is a formula that can do this I am willing to work with that as well.
I have a formula that takes various data from a worksheet and places it all into a single row (N2:AY2) using the “=” formula. I then copy this and paste values, then I copy it again to it can be pasted into another application. There is also some various hiding/unhiding that goes on.
Question is, when I paste values it will truncate some numbers. For example if I have $70, it will change it to $7. 11/10 turns into 11/1.
Columns("M:AZ").Select
Range("M2").Activate
Selection.EntireColumn.Hidden = False
Range("N2:AY2").Select

I have a 28 or 30 columns excel with categories of products (color, size, price, etc...) and I need to have and extra column that has all the previous categories separated by semicolon ";"
Values could be numbers or words, mostly words
Price | color | size |...etc
50 | green | 24 |...etc
generated new column
50;green;24;... etc
If a column is empty then go to the next column, no zero value or two ";;"
I have 20.000 products, so 20.000 rows
I need to add an extra four zeros to a number in a cell - in this case an ID number, so that i can do a lookup from another list. Basically what i have is two lists of ID numbers in a field of a database, in one i have the correct display/format, so that a number would look like 000054454545. In the second list however the number is only shown as 54454545, due to differences in the programs which imported them. I would like to know if its possible to use a function or macro in excel to basically insert the four zeros onto the number ie 0000 + 54454545 = 000054454545 so that i can do a lookup of one for the other.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI need to create extra rows of duplicate data. The number of duplicate rows depends on the number of semi-colons in the 15th column (column O).
Sheet 1 is the original working file. Sheet 2 is the result of how the executed macro for the first 2 lines of data. The first line in sheet 1 has 7 semi-colons, so there should be 7 rows of duplicate data created in sheet 2. The second line in sheet 1 has 6 semi-colons, so 6 duplicate lines, etc.
How do I truncate a range of numbers where a number will not show more than 2 past the decimal ....and this be in vba as part of a macro.

Is there a way to make the find and replace function not stop when a cell is too large? Instead, make it pass over the large cells and move on to the next cells? Is there a function that gives the number of characters in a cell? If so, one could sort by cell size and then work around the cells that are too large?

trying to limit the number of characters entered in a cell.
I clicked on Custom then =LEN(A10)=6 which works when i enter more or less than 6 characters, however it lets you paste in something which has more than 6 charters.
I think it's an easy one but for the life of me I can't get around it. ccasionally while re-typing data in fields with the intention of saving-as a new file, an error message appears saying "no more than 20 characters" This happens even when the number of characters is LESS than 20! I have tried clearing cell contents, copying & pasting, re-setting conditions/parameters for columns/rows etc., and nothing seems to work with any consistency. Instead of looking for a work-around solution I'd like to find the actual corrective action.
