I am trying to create a macro that will create a comma and space between every 5th character within a cell. that would be preference #1. What I decided to go with for now, instead, is to try (using the macro recorder) text to columns, fixed width, and do this after every 5th character, and selecting each cell to be formatted as text.
What I am having difficulties with is trying to tell the macro which cells to touch and which ones not to. I do not want the macro to do text to columns and fixed width on simple text. I only want it to do the macro when it is a string of numbers that, during transfer from PDF to excel, have been concatenated into one cell. I also want the macro to do this for infinite number of rows. I have excel 2007.
I am attaching a small excel file with examples of data I am working with. I have saved this excel file as a 97-2003 version for those who do not have 2007. As I stated, if anybody can help me figure out how to do a simple insert comma space every 5th character where information has been concatenated, that would be preference. Also, I am not trying to change anything within column A. Only column B. On the sample file please note B3 - B6. Rows 5 & 6 are fine as they are. Other problem rows include B11 - B13
I am using the below formula manually but it is taking too long. How to automate this? Is there a way to create the space and comma for as long as the list is?
My problem is that I am trying to use REPLACE function but I do not know where my starting point is.
I have last name first that you don't know how many characters will be, then empty space which is 7 characters long. How can I tell REPLACE formula where to start replacing empty spaces with comma?
I have the following code which is save Sheet as a text file. I know there are some options in Excel for saving, but it is not saving as ".txt" file.
I would like to modify this code to replace blank space with comma between Cells.
PHP Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
' Save file name and path into a variable template_file = ActiveWorkbook.FullName
' Default directory would be c:temp. Users however will have the ability to change where to save the file if need be. ' Notice that i'm only allowing the save as option to be of .txt format. ' I'm also attaching the current date to the file name............
I have a file of names that has some undisplayable characters. I am trying to match against a different file. It works if I overtype the "blank" fields with a space. How can remove these trailing problem characters whatever they are? I tried CLEAN and TRIM and the mystery characters are still there.
I am working with large sequences of letters and I'm trying to put them into their own columns. I know about the 'text to columns' tool but the problem is my sequences are not delimited by anything. I would have to think the easiest way to accomplish what I want to do is to insert a comma, space or other delimiter between every letter, then use the text to columns feture.
This is a delima I cannot figure out. I had to create passwords for a website we are building. I have 3000 employee numbers has to be used. So what i did was took the first initial and middle initial and last initial and first 5 of the ID number. I did a comma delimiter to obtain all of the letters and numbers. example: ABC12345
My problem is none of the passwords work because when I imported the letters and numbers into the sheet it looks just like the above. However on review I cut and pasted back to notepad and the data looks like this:
"A B C 12345"
So its adding a tab in the password thats thats a problem, How do I remove this extra white space between each comma delimited digit? without having to manually delete it ?
I need to create a spreadsheet that has approximately 1000 rows with the same exact information in each of them prefilled (as I use the "drag-down" method). I use this chart throughout the year to enter various bits of data in each row. I also use conditional formatting in each row. The company I work for wants to have an empty space between each row. " You can create the blank rows separately and then interleave them with the existing rows by sorting. To start, insert a new column to the left of the existing column A. Enter 1 in cell A1 and highlight column A all the way to the last row that contains data. From the Edit menu select Fill | Series and click on OK. Column A should now contain numbers from 1 to the total number of rows. Press Ctrl-C to copy these cells to the clipboard, click in the cell just below the last of them, and press Ctrl-V to paste. Now highlight the entire data area, including the new rows with just a number in column A. Select Sort from the Data menu and choose the No header row option in the resulting dialog box. Under Sort by select Column A, under Then by select column B, and click on OK. Finally, delete column A. You now have a blank row after every one of the original 1,000-odd rows."
This works great for the data that I copied (with the drag down method) to all the rows. However, this method does not insert an empty line in between all the conditional formatting I have throughout the spreadsheet. This is my conditional formatting formula I have "manage rules" which is under "conditional formatting" =NOT(ISBLANK($A6)) (*please take note that this is selected for 1000 rows.) Maybe there is some kind of change in the formula that I need in order for the conditional formatting method to be copied onto every 2nd line of the 1000 rows".
I have a huge data file that must unfortunately be mandatorily downloaded in a single column format, with coma delimitation for each separate piece of data instead of a space, as follows: 08/04/2009,158,7,1849,1184,824451,403711
What I need to do is put each of the bits of data (coma separating each bit) into a separate column, so that each piece may be further processed. Is there a simple way to do this? Would be happy just pasting the data to a new worksheet, if there was a simple way to remove the coma, create a space between each number, and automatically place each piece of data into a separate column.
I have a list of 1500 addresses in a column, something like, 5VistaTerrace, and I need to insert a space between the number and each of the words so that it reads 5 Vista Terrace in the cell.
All of the addresses are different, some with 4 or 5 words like 5ABrownBayCourt... that particular one I would want to read 5A Brown Bay Court in the end.
Is there a formula or excel trick I can perform to save me the time of manually adding the spaces?
I have been working on different formulas to return the text string between the first and last space and have been unsuccessful. Is this possible?
I have tried several combos or Left and Right, I have been able to get the values after the first space, and the values before the last space, but not between the spaces.

Desired results: D60 CULT NUCLEUS 3X2 SPRING WST BK
I have a macro that creates an email based on the contents of each column in the worksheet. The macro works great, but I would like to format a column (A) which contains numbers into the Comma Style, prior to sending out the email.
Is there a VBA code that will format a given column (A) into a certain style (Currency, Comma, Percentage, etc) ?
I've got a list of postcodes in one column and some of the postcodes do not have the correct amount of spaces between the characters.
So I'm looking to have a macro that will insert a space after each third character and then possible a separate macro to insert a space after each fourth character.
On sheet one, in the column column C I have cells which have characters separated by a space character (For example cell C3 looks like this: "L C"; cell C12 looks like this: "S BF54FR"). There are only a few cells which have more than three characters. The characters are separated by a space character. I would like the macro to do the following: take out each on of the character in put in the same row next column. (For example if in column C has the value: "L C" then in the same row column D should have the value "L" and column E should have the value "C". Or if column C was "S BF54FR" then column D should have the value "S" and column E "BF54FR".
providing a macro to save an excel sheet to comma delimited txt file. Also, My sheet has 1st row as table columns and i dont want to export them in my txt file.
I have a macro that takes the column of data from D on Sheet 1, pastes it into A on Sheet 3, gets rid of duplicates and then, in B1, combines all the numbers from A into a comma-separated string. The only problem is that it puts a comma at the beginning of the string. Is there something I can do to make that first comma not be there?
Example: Column A has a mixture of letters and numbers. ie AU1234 or AU5678 Always the letters will be first, but not sure if 2 or 3 letters. Need to insert space between letters and numbers.
I have so far. " =(left(a2,2)) & " " & (mid(a2,3,(len(a2)-2))) " this works if all are only 2 letters...
Now. What I need to do is open a .csv (will do manually) then hit something like ctrl-alt-k to run macro.
Step 1: Insert a column next to A, check rows down and for however many rows, make above formula (include 2 or 3 letters) to insert space between letters and numbers, select the new column, copy, select column a and overwrite with the values from the new column. ie turn 'A2' from "AU1234" to "AU 1234" and 'A3' from "AU4567" to "AU 4567" .
Step 2: Column D has comma delimited fields. Column F also has comma delimited fields. both D and F will always have the same number of fields. D will be something like 1234,2345,3456 ------ in this case 3 fields but could be over 100 fields F will be something like M0002456 (04P), M0002457 (05P), M1230477 (02A).
Need to split both D and G from row A2 simultaneously from comma fields to rows. copying all other data from row. and insert before the next set of data in what was previously A3 and (in this case *should* be moved down to A5 because of the 2 inserted lines from the 2 extra fields).
E.g.: Column A Row 2 "AU 1234" Column B Row 2 "data1" Column C Row 2 "data2" Column D Row2 "1234" Column E Row 2 "data3" Column F Row 2 "M0002456 (04P)" Column A Row 3 "AU 1234" Column B Row 3 "data1" Column C Row 3 "data2" Column D Row 3 "2345" Column E Row 3 "data3" Column F Row 3 "M0002457 (05P)" Column A Row 4 "AU 1234" Column B Row 4 "data1" Column C Row 4 "data2" Column D Row 4 "3456" Column E Row 4 "data3" Column F Row 4 "M1230477 (02A)"
Then carry on to next row which may have only one field and can be ignored/skipped to the next which may have 100 fields which will need to be split to rows and inserted...etc....
Step 3 Remove all the "space Bracket-data-Bracket" ie " (04P) from column F
I have the following formula that works fine until someone uses the space bar to clear a cells contents
=COUNTA($D11:$AI11)
When the space bar is used to clear a cells contents the COUNTA statements includes the space in the count. How do I count the number of cells with content and exclude the space bar space in a cell?
I'm wanting to add a button on the last row of a worksheet to "add rows" above the buttion (entire row). I have some cells (6 total) that have a formula that needs to carry over to the newly created rows. Some cells remain blank but some cells need to have the formulas fill down to the new rows (i.e.: =sum(a2+1), =sum(a3+1)...
Is it possible to give option of choosing how many rows someone wants to insert?
Help in creating the button, option to choose # of rows and the macro to insert those rows.
