Macro Find Parenthesis And Remove String In Every Other Cell In Col.A

Aug 21, 2009

macro find parenthesis and remove string in every other cell in Col.A
The following formula works but is tedious to apply to every other cell:
=LEFT(A3,FIND("(",A3)-2)
Data Example:
Cell Value A2 = hello world I am A2 (this is an example)
Cell Value A3 = hello world I am A2

Then Delete the entire row A2 and apply this to every other A.Col.cell with the original data.

Remove Data In Parenthesis

Nov 24, 2008

Suppose I have data in a range that was imported from "somewhere". Some of the data is preceded by team rankings in parenthesis...like so:

Alabama
(21) Boston College
Notre Dame
(10) Oklahoma
Texas
Florida State
(2) Florida State

I want to strip the data of the team rankings, (as well as any brackets and spaces before the team name). Is there a macro I could write to do this?

Remove Parenthesis (Brackets) From Numbers

Feb 3, 2009

I have a spread sheet with 2000 fax numbers in the format:
(555) 123-1234

I am going through and reformatting them to read:

555123-1234 or 5551231234

Is there cell format code or some way to do this quickly rather than going through each cell and deleting the spaces and ()?

Remove Text With Brackets & The Parenthesis

Oct 23, 2007

I have a spreadsheet with 900 rows. All of the rows hold different information. The first column has contents such as this:

This is the text (please remove me)
This is some more text (I need to be removed too)

I want to remove from every cell, everything in the brackets - so everything from the first open brackets to the end of the cell contents). Every cell is a different length and the information within the brackets is different.

Remove Parenthesis & Text Within From Range

Feb 21, 2008

For a spreadsheet that contains info with opening and closing parentheses in the cells I'm testing on, I am having problems getting multiple IF statements to work together in the same formula. I can get them to work separately in different cells, but when I try to combine them in the same cell, I get the #VALUE error. Here is what I'm working with:

In cell G7 I have the text: Fort Fraser (1)
In cell H7 I have the formula: =IF((RIGHT(G7,1)=")")*AND(MID(G7,LEN(G7)-2,1)="("),LEFT(G7,LEN(G7)-4),G7)

In cell G8 I have the text: Fort St. James (11)
In cell H8 I have the forumla: =IF((RIGHT(G8,1)=")")*AND(MID(G8,LEN(G8)-3,1)="("),LEFT(G8,LEN(G8)-5),G8)

Both formulas work correctly by discarding the parentheses and everything in between, as well as the space before the opening parenthesis. As you can see, the first formula will work with a single digit in the parentheses, and the second works with two digits. It's just when I try to combine the two tests in the same formula (editing the second one so it also tests on G7) that I get the #VALUE error. I have tried using OR to combine the two tests.

VBA Loop - Remove Single Character From Cell String Then Calculate New Value In Cell

Mar 1, 2012

I have a string of text in cell A2. In cell B2 of my spreadsheet is a formula that calculates a number based on the text string in cell A2.

I want to write a VBA loop that removes a single character from the cell A2 string, then calculate the new value in cell B2. I want this loop to continue until the value in B2 falls below a set value (in this case 60).

My code so far
Sub trim_text()
Dim mytext As String
Dim myanswer As Integer
mytext = Range("A2")
myanswer = Range("B2")
Do While myanswer > 60
mytext = (Right(mytext, Len(mytext) - 1))
Loop
End Sub

This obviously does not work. In my excel table I have a formula in cell B2 to calculate "myanswer" will this work, or does that code have to be placed into the VBA code?

Alpha String Formula - Remove Duplicates When Starting In Cell Going Downward

Aug 22, 2013

I have a string of letters in cell column L20 through L3019.

The letters are A, B, C, and R . No other letters.

I wanted to find out if it is possible to remove any duplicates when starting in cell L20 going downward.

For example:

L20 = B
L21 = A
L22 = A
L23 = B
L24 = C
L25 = C
L26 = C
L27 = C
L28 = B
L29 = R
L30 = A
L31 = C
L32 = C
L33 = C
L34 = R
L35 = R
L36 = B
L37 = B

In the range L20 through L37 all the letters have appeared so my goal is to create a formula where the outcome is BACR. Starting with the first letter B in cell L20

Cell range L20 through L37. Looking for the next letter which would be either A,C, or R. Since we already used the letter B. In this case it's the letter A
ABCR

Cell range L20 through L37. Looking for the next letter which is the C or R. In this case it's the letter C
CBRA

Finally range L20 through L37. Looking for the letter R which is in cell L29.
RACB

Find A Specific String In A Cell

Oct 12, 2009

I have absolutely no idea how to get starting on this one. I've got a long string in cell B1. At some point there is the word "oms:SomeString," (without the quotes). I need to know whether SomeString is somewhere in the active sheet or not (the workbook running the VBA-code is not the active sheet). I can't just compare the cell B1 because it contains multiple words. Any hints are very welcome.

Find Specific String In Cell

Jun 29, 2007

I have at database which i want to search in... The problem is that i wanted to search in specific cells, or ranges. So i made a for loop searching for words in one range.. But it doesn't work.

For i = 0 To antal - 1 Step 1
Worksheets("Søg").Select
If Range("B5") = "X" Then
Sheets("Database").Select
c = InStr(1, Range("B" & 2 + anRow * i), sgbygsag, 1)
Sheets("Søg").Select
Range("A1") = c
End If
Next

anRow is the delimiter between to databases. And sgbygsag is the string i am searching for, i have made sure that this really is a string. No matter what I do this code sets Range("A1") to "0".

Find String Of Text Plus Cell Index Color?

May 3, 2013

I am trying to come up with a macro that will search a range for a specific string of text plus Interior.ColorIndex = 4. The range can have the text in it multiple times but i only want the macro to fire the next line of it if the cell address also has that color. Is there a way that can be done? My code below stops after it finds its first occurrence of the string and moves on to the next lookup. How do i make it look for not only the value but the index color?

Find If Text Cell Contains A String Of Characters From Array In Different Workbook

Aug 12, 2011

I've scoured the internet for this answer and have not found a formula that works.

I have a list of domain names/URLs in column A of workbook 1:

jhjh.com
hajfh.co.nz
123.123.12.12

I have a list of domain name extensions in workbook #2:

.com
.co.nz
.net

I want to determine if the cells in column A workbook one contain any of the strings in workbook 2 - note that I need to look at the string, not the entire cell in workbook one. If there is a match, true, if not, false for that cell within workbook one.

It's sort of a reverse array lookup with text. It seems that cross workbook and text is what causes the challenge.

Macro To Remove Certain Characters - End Of Cell Value

Jun 9, 2014

I am currently using the following formula to remove the letter "R" from the end of cells

[=IF(ISNUMBER(--RIGHT(A3)),A3,LEFT(A3,LEN(A3)-1))].

However, I would like a macro to accomplish this goal, along with something else. I have a list of values as follows:

CHD152-2
CHD115-1
CHD40-3
RE224
HPC644R
DOC020R
HPC594R

What I need is a macro that will remove any instance of "R", "-1", "-2", "-3", "-4" from the end of a cell. neither of the 5 values listed in the last sentence are present, the the cell will be unchange. So, after running, the above values would look like this:

CHD152
CHD115
CHD40
RE224
HPC644
DOC020
HPC594

Remove Characters From Right Of String

I.e. change a website address to the hostname

to

excelforum.com
usa.excelforum.com

I'm using this formula, which strips the http:// and the www., but does not replace the characters after the first remaining "/" as the wildcard is not recognized.

=SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A2,"www.",""), A2,"http://",""), A2, "/*", "")

I'm attempting to extract the Street Names from an Address.

For Example, if given "123 Very Big Street" I'd want to extract "Very Big".

If given, "123 Very Big" I'd want the same answer.

I've written code to do this, with a simple IF statement to identify mathcing last words like "Street" and "Drive".

How can I efficiently do this with a large list of last words? I'm drawing a blank on how to query against an array that would contain all these values.
