i Am trying to get this project underway and can attempt this manually in excel but will take ages. I was wondering if there is a code I can use. I am trying to get a 7 character alphanumeric serial number for units as a 4(alpha) and 3 numeric number. like say AAAA001 , i want to list on a row all the numbers on a sheet right upto ZZZZ999
View 5 RepliesIs there a way either by VBA or manually (preferably both, if possible) to actually unite the X amount of numbers that are in a cell given the contents is alphanumeric? I'll give you the following examples to see if you can understand what I' referring to?
DATA output should be
asd67,h876 --------> 67876
2,3,ujdj5&34 -------> 23534
909k86m34 --------> 9098634
I have a dynamic list of items which I have to assign serial numbers to.
If the serial numbers go in sequence, it would have been easy.
But the problem is, they don't.
They go from A1 - A9, B1 - B10, C1 - C10 ....
Is there a way I can assign an array to ensure that once the macro hits A9, it starts from B1, and once it hits B10, start from C1?
I import data from another program in order to evaluate it. Unfortunately, one of the fields I need contains copyright data, however, it has been very inconsistently entered into the database. For example, sometimes the data appears "c1999." or "-1999" or "" or "[1999]" or even "19?" and also sometimes "1999, 1990" and many other variations on that. I discovered the link in the excel help file about extracting numbers from alphanumeric strings, but my situation is still too variable for it to apply; that file didn't take into account that alphanumeric strings don't always lump numbers and letters together. I was able to correct a few things, but my command of excel isn't knowledgeable enough to really come up with something effective.
Some ideas I had that I don't know how to implement: is there a way to strip non-numerical characters from an alphanumeric string? (I've been doing some find/replaces to get rid of some of it, but that is obviously not very efficient when I have to repeat this process daily.) Perhaps then I could just detect the first 4 numbers of the string somehow. However, that doesn't solve the problem of when a wild card is used as in "199?" or "20?" etc.
Bottom line, I just need to grab the first four numbers that appear in the string (but NOT additional numbers that occur after a wild card or a space if the year was not completed in 4 numbers; in that case I'd just be happy with a null value).
I've been doing this with a formula so far. My only experience with macros has been in simply recording them, not actually writing them, but I'll give anything a try.
I have one page in excel to print. But I want to print it 1000 times and on each paper i need another serial number. How do I do this?
View 4 Replies View RelatedSheet4 in my book looks like this:
.............A.......................B................................C..................
I......Invoice No…..…Starting Serial No……...……Ending Serial No
2…………ND12………..6011000000013652……. ..6011000000103652
3…………ND13………..6011000000116526……....6011000000246977
4…………RF4……….….6006000001255724……..…6006000011249564
5.........RF4...........6005000000023652.........6005000000095624
note that the last 4 numbers of the series are randomly generated for security reasons and are not part of the range of the the serial No’s
So Invoice ND = 10 consecutive numbers, Invoice ND13 = 14 and Invoice RF4 = 1000 and RF4(again) = 8
The list on this sheet is a mile long
What I need is a “search box” with two windows in it
In one box I will type a serial number and in the second box I will get the Invoice number
The challenge is that the serial number could be between Starting and Ending serial No’s thus if I were to type serial number
6006000001086598 in the first box the answer in the second box will be : RF4
I have in my sheet from C13 to C350 many serial numbers which I manually type them in. These serials are 5 digit numbers, and I was just wondering if there's a function or formula that will not allow duplicate numbers in that column.
I am trying to get Excel to write a series of incremented serial numbers to an external program.
I need 10 per line, then for the code to send ENTER and start writing on the next line. Following is my current code:
For i = 0 To qty - 1
SendKeys prefix_sn & next_sn + i & ","
Next i
I have a spreadsheet with a list of about 3800 lines of dollar values in "K" that correspond to various serial numbers in "E".
These serial numbers come up multiple times at different place throughout the 3800 lines.
I know by using SUMIF I can calculate the total value of each serial number, but is there a way to bring the serial numbers across to correspond to the sum of the dollar values?
I have repeating 7 names in A column.(Like a name group)
Each group names repeating after a blank(empty) row.
I want to write to B column for each repeating names from 1 to 7 as number value.
I have a userform for keeping records and would love to incorporate a new feature. I would want to generate a random serial number for each entry made with the userform.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've modified this macro I found on this forum, all it does is compares 2 lists of 6 digit serial numbers and and then tells me which numbers are in list 1 that are not in list 2.
However, I want to modify it so that it also gives me the numbers in list 2 that are not in list 1 (put into column F). I then need it to cut the matching serial numbers (in columns A and B) from sheet 1 and paste them into sheet 2.
Put serial numbers against row like above either by the help of formula or either by VBA code.

my spreadsheet has duplicate serial numbers in column A and the corresponding row in column B has mutliple descriptions for the same serial number. I need to combine those descriptions into 1 cell rather than having multiple rows for the same serial number. is there an IF formula that I can combine with a concatenate that will capture what I need?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to make continuing serial numbers in excel in order to print labels to be able to track my deliveries. i know i can drag the fill cursor to automatically make it go the next number. however i also want my serial number should represent the month and the day the invoice was printed.
for example i want the serial number should be
column a (Jan 01) column b (Jan 02 ) column c (Jan 03)
a1-01-01 a1-02-01 a1-03-01
a1-01-02 a1-02-02 a1-03-02
a1-01-03 a1-02-03 a1-03-02
The first number represents the month (example -a1 for Jan)
The second number represents the day and
The third number represents the invoice
How can i make that when i pul the cursor down it should continue with the invoice number
However when i continue right it should move the day number?
i have a list of serial numbers in a column, say column a, for example, and i have corresponding data in columns to the right of this, say just column B for example- I also have a header on column B which counts the data in column b. (just a COUNTA, counting occurences of 'x' )
my issue is this: i need to limit the range of the COUNTA dynamically- by the number of serial numbers in column A. for example: if i have 10 serial numbers, i want my COUNTA range to be B1:B10 (excluding header) and... i need this to be a built-in formula, NOT a VBA macro. i need it to update automatically, as soon as another serial number is entered. i've tried using references to named ranges and all sorts of language tricks, and i cant seem to get it to work. (such as:
' =counta(b1:namedrange1)
i'm going to have to do the same thing with COUNTIF's, so if that is also easily explainable,
I have about 200 cells with 2 different format in text and numbers but they all have a number in between right after /vgh/.
Is there a formula I can use that will return only thee set of numbers removing the text before and after it.
Below are the 2 different examples.
Example 1 : h4ffkwd1-5o/vgh/2447044/eml-anet_wlcm-h-visit/?hs=false&tok=3GMdjcBsfbfBk1
Example 2 : h38ahlur-19/vgh/163311/?hs=false&tok=1CIRLlqwLSB5g1
I have these sort of text and just need the middle set of numbers.
I am looking for formulae to identify the first 20 non-zero numbers from a string of alphanumerical and non alphanumeric characters
EG If column A any data such as:
123
0123
01(2)3
0.123
123abc
0123abc
01(2)3abc
0.123abc
a1b2c3
1a2b3c
Then the corresponding row for column B would return 123
Using help from my maths Prof and some IT bods, i have so-far come up with the array-formula:
=1*MID(A7,MATCH(FALSE,ISERROR(1/MID(A7,ROW(1:100),1)),0),20)
assuming that the total string is not more than 100 characters.
I have about 10000 cells of varying length in text and numbers but they all end with numbers on the ends of them. Using text to columns doesn't work because they're all different lengths and it cuts them off in the wrong place.
Is there a formula I can use that will return only the text from these cells and remove the numbers. It would definitely save me time from individually deleting the numbers at the end.
I have a list (SIC Codes) and I want to remove the numbers. The numbers range from 2 to 8 deep. The list exists in column B and I want the new list in column C.
01 Agricultural Production Crops
011 Cash Grains
0111 Wheat
0112 Rice
0115 Corn
0116 Soybeans
0119 Cash grains, nec
011901 Pea and bean farms (legumes)
01190101 Bean (dry field and seed) farm
01190102 Cowpea farm
01190103 Lentil farm
01190104 Mustard seed farm
In cell A1 i have the value ABC123.
I want to remove the 123.
Can you tell me how to do this?
I have a fairly large list (1200 rows) of part numbers that I would like to sort. The part number has text and numbers, with a number in the middle. I need excel to ignore this middle number when sorting (but not any of the other numbers). Excel currently sorts like this:
MKDSN 1,5/ 3
MKDSN 1,5/ 3-5,08
MKDSN 1,5/ 4
MKDSN 1,5/14-5,08
when I want it to sort like this:
MKDSN 1,5/ 3
MKDSN 1,5/ 4
MKDSN 1,5/ 3-5,08
MKDSN 1,5/14-5,08
The first few letters in the part number or the numbers at the end aren't consistant. But it's always the numbers after the "/" and before the "-" (where there is one) that I want to ignore.
At the very least I would I need the list in alphabetical order. I don't need the list to be sorted by the "ignored number" at all. Meaning, I would be happy with this result:
MKDSN 1,5/ 3
MKDSN 1,5/ 4
MKDSN 1,5/ 2
MKDSN 1,5/14-5,08
MKDSN 1,5/ 3-5,08
MKKDS 2/24
MKKDS 2/20-3,5
MKKDS 2/ 2-3,5
I don't mind getting rid of "/" or spaces or "," in the part number, but I would prefer to not split the part number between two columns.
I tried creating a custom list, but there are just too many varieties to list them all.
Anyone know how to do this?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have this formula that extracts numbers from alphanumeric strings.
{=1*MID(A1,MATCH(TRUE,ISNUMBER(1*MID(A1,ROW($1:$100),1)),0),COUNT(1*MID(A1,ROW($1:$100),1)))}
However this extracts only the 1st instance of the numbers
In a string like 123avfbsdf4556.. it'll extract only 123.
My questions are the following:
1. Is there a way that i could get the result as 1234556
2. A way which refers to a cell where I put in a number and it'll extract those many number instances. In the above example, if I put the number as 1, it'll extract 123. If I put the number as 2, it'll extract 4556 and so on.
I guess this would require some modifications to the Match function so that it does not look at only the 1st instance.
I have list of 15000 of Alphanumeric data for ex. ADEDO125ADSD589ADF121,UIEIROIWS12556ERE545,ADAS15455212AD4564AD2
And so on. Now I want to extract word from this alphanumeric. And i want to use only formula not MACRO OR VBA
Take for example ABC10 in Cell A1, ABC199 in cell A2 and ABC9 in cell A3
How am i able to sort such that ABC9 appears in cell A1 followed by ABC10 in cell A2 and ABC199 in cell A3?
Say for example I have ABCD-ABC12 basically an arbitrary length of alpha (A-Z) characters followed by an hypen "-" followed by another arbitrary length of alpha (A-Z) characters and then
immediately followed by an arbitrary length of numbers. (with no spaces between alpha and number)
How can I extract just the numbers from the group of alphanumberic characters after the hyphen
and set it to a LONG variable?
The title of this thread is the best way I can describe what I wish to accomplish. You see, I have a column of information requests in an Excel spreadsheet, each of which his tagged with an alphanumeric request number, and I wish to sort and/or perform and min/max function on the request identification. However, each ID has a IDR in front of it - for instance, IDR000452 - and the letters make the system read the contents as text. Does anyone know of a formula I can use to create a new cell which contains only the numerical contents of the above example?

The string can potentially have as few as one number or as many as 25. Each number is separated by a comma.
Here is the code that creates the string: ...
I am looking to remove numbers and symbols from a single cell.
For example, I start with something like:
Cell A1: M. Flank1, T.D. Chang1*, T. Person2, J. Doe3
Cell A2: T.R. Money1*, Y.R. You2
...
and I want:
Cell B1: M. Flank, T.D. Chang, T. Person, J. Doe
Cell B2: T.R. Money, Y.R. You

And, there are about 300 more, with varying number of people per cell.
I'm not great with Macros, so if there is a way without macros, that would be good, but, if a macro works best, I can give it a shot..
