Manipulating Strings Or Split Function

Jan 29, 2010

I have a excel sheet where I have a list of strings seperated by a "-". I am looking to take the particular cell value and swap the characters before the dash with the characters after the dash. So for example:

FG03-FJ04 would become FJ04-FG03
AB02-CD12 would become CD12-AB02 and so forth....

I have tried findling around with the split function but cant seem to get anywhere, does anyone know a tried and tested method of doing this?

Manipulating Text Strings

Jan 12, 2010

I have a column filled with names per row. I wanted to standardize it by using the following format.

The comma after the last name is always an indicator to me that it is the last name.

<First Name> <Middle Initial(if any)> <Last Name>

My actual records contains the following:

BIMBO EPPING - OK
AHMAD SADICK - OK
Salana, Laura R - need to be arranged to > Laura R Salana
Cantos, Rhoda Grace J - need to be arranged to > Rhoda Grace J Cantos

Split Alphanumeric Strings Into Three Different Columns

Feb 27, 2014

I am working on a report but I need to split of text cells that contain text and numbers. I had worked in some formulas and I got stuck again when I drag down the formulas. In the attached file, you will see two tables. The one in the left is my current job. In the table of the right is how the table must look like.

The table is complete and will give you the whole idea.

Basically, I need to split the cell into three categories that are "Family", "Model" and "Phase". In example:

Cell Family Model Phase
CCA CCA
DC50X DC50X
DCX3300CRDDCX3300CRD
DPC2434 DPC2434
DCT-1700DCT1700
DCT-1800DCT1800
DCT-1800P3DCT1800P3
DCT-1800P4DCT1800P4

Attached File : Family Model.xlsx‎

Split Date / Time Strings To Separate Cells

Jul 15, 2014

splitting out date/time strings to separate cells, but I cannot find how to split the following.

I have the serviceable date of an aircraft delivery set as 'S hh:mm dd-mmm-yy', which is due to being used by an external application in this format. This is entered by the user and I need to be able to extract the date time strings and switch them to dd-mmm-yy hh:mm, excluding the S from the result as a formula in another cell.

I keep getting a #value error or returning the whole string result.

CONCATENATE Function To Merge 2 Strings Together Into A Single Cell

Apr 20, 2009

I have been using the CONCATENATE function to merge 2 strings together into a single cell. However the problem is, the third concatenated cell depends on the other 2 existing. The idea is I want to take 2 columns of data, and use a formula to merge them, then delete the original 2 data columns so I have a single column with the full data merged.

COL 1 (A3) = First Name
COL 2 (B3) = Last Name
COL 3 (C3) = Full Name (wanted)

So I do =CONCATENATE(A3,B3) and that puts the fullname in C3, but I want to sort of "flatten" C3 so that I have the fullname by itself and I can delete the original cells (A, and B)

Concatenate Function To Join Some Text Strings To A Cell On A Different Sheet

Jan 11, 2010

I have been trying to use the concatenate function to join some text strings to a cell on a different sheet - From an input sheet -Sheet 1 named Input, to a Notification Form (Sheet 2). Although the Function Argument display tells me that it will display the result I want it actually displays just the formula. It's a very simple thing

Address 1 10 Downing Street
Address 2 Westminster
Address 3 London
Postcode SW1A 1AA

I want displayed as: 10 Downing Street, Westminster, London, SW1A 1AA in a single merged cell. All I am getting on the Form is =concatenate(Input!c25," ",Input!c26," "Input!c27," "Input!c28). I feel sure that it is a very easy solution but I can't arrive at it!!

Subscripting Results Of SPLIT Function

Jul 15, 2014

I have a macro that loops through a column of cells to retrieve a price that is buried in a string. The cells in this column are formatted one of two ways. Either they are completely empty, or the following pattern of string is entered: "$181.27 ea. for 12 on 5/21/14" (the quotes are not part of the string entered). What I need my macro to do is pull out "$181.27" and then drop the dollar sign and then do some more math before inputting a result in a different cell, but the prices range from less than a dollar to over $100,000 so I need to use split instead of left. Should be simple, yes? Here is what I have:

[Code] ......

But I get an error 9: subscript out of range on the line that calculates PriceSplit whenever it encounters a blank cell.

Excel 2010 :: Replace Function Missing Strings In Merged Range?

Jun 11, 2014

I've recently been making a macro in visual basic that loops through all my excel files and replaces an old company name to a new company name and It's working great, well except for one thing... It always misses one string in the file and it leaves me with 90% of the file corrected. I think that the string might be a part of a merged range so Range.Find is not able to find it. I was suggested to use this code:

Because that's the code that is generated when using the replace function in MS Excel 2010, but I keep getting syntax errors?

Split Function: Multiple Spaces Between Two Words

Mar 23, 2007

I am trying to parse a formatted text file. I am using the SPLIT function as

arr() = split(cline," ")

where cline is an input line. if the line input(cline) has multiple spaces between two words, how would it split that.

Eg :

abcd defg fefdcs fasdfasdsa

would the output of above be
arr(0) = abcd
arr(1) = defg
arr(2) = fefdcs
arr(3) = fasdfasdsa

Manipulating Sheet

Apr 17, 2008

I am working with excel sheets for dimension population of metrics.

I want to make some process less manual. In one column I am given some values like ((1110 + 1230 + 3120 + SERVSELCT) - (1110.21 + 2110.30))
Based on these values I have to write the expanded form like:

The values that do not include the decimals are known as parents, for which I have to write PCYDYNNOTRANS_1110 and for the values that include a decimal I have to write CCYDYNNOTRANS_1110.21
I have to write this in the adjacent column for all the values I had mentioned above.

I was wondering if there is a way that I can make this less tedious, and I can have a list that would pop up in the adjacent column where I could select which one I should use i.e. either PCYDYNNOTRANS_ or CCYDYNNOTRANS_ and I would have to just copy paste the values.

Copying And Manipulating Formula?

Oct 15, 2012

I am unsuccessfully trying to manipulate and copy a formula.

Column A would typically be used as a benchmark for one retailer and have the base price with the other columns simply showing differences in margin etc if the price was changed. This would typically mean the BWP and fixed terms etc would be constant.

However in this circumstance I need to ascertain for different retailers a,b,c,d, etc the shelf price and compare their NTS and % Margin. Whilst I can enter the different prices and change the terms as required, the whole sheet seems to link back to column A rather than simply drawing from the info in each respective column.

a
b
c

Price On Shelf
20.12
20.05
18.87

Shelf Price Excl. GST
17.50
17.43
16.41

Manipulating Data Within A Loop

Jan 25, 2007

I am working on a macro that opens up a workbook, formats the data by moving columns etc and then spits out the data to different workbooks according to a string in col R (M,C,S etc). I am able to split the file into the workbooks, but it copies the whole sheet and not just the visible cells (its working via a filter). I have tried adding code into the loop to basically copy the visible cells to Sheet2 and then delete (or clear) sheet1 so that I only have the relevant data but have very interesting. This is only the first of a few procedures I would like to add within the loop. Ideally I want to have a prompt for the filename and path for each file, and also another procedure to add a number into each seperate file. If I know why I cant get this simple function to run I will, hopefully, be able to add in the other bits!

Function SplitSheets()
On Error Resume Next
Dim ws As Worksheet, source As Range, dest As Range
Dim daily As Worksheet
Dim sType(4) As String
Dim i As Integer
Dim strSaveFileas As String
sType(1) = "M"
sType(2) = "S"
sType(3) = "C"
sType(4) = "N"
Set daily = Worksheets(1)
For i = 1 To 4...................

Manipulating Cell Data When Entered?

Jan 31, 2014

I'm putting together a workbook to keep track of income generated from Contractors (I work in recruitment). I have an existing system that displays margin, hours worked and income (margin * hours) but what I am looking for is a neater solution that would still have the margin column, but when hours are entered into a cell it is factored by the margin and displays income in the same cell.

So to be sure I am describing correctly, I am after a formula that will enable me to

1. Enter a value into a cell (for the hours worked - lets call this B1)
2. Multiplies this value by another cell (a fixed amount, the margin - lets call this A1)
3. Displays this result (B1 * A1) in cell B1, the same cell as the hours were entered in.
