Matching String Of Text To Separate List Of Codes?
Jun 19, 2014
I have a large sheet of data I'm trying to sort through. Each row of data has a column that contains a long string description. Each of these strings contains a three letter codes in all caps that I want to be able to pull out. I have a seperate sheet that has all of the possible three letter codes in one column. Is there a formula that can compare each string of text to this list of three letter codes and if it find a match put that code in a column on the original sheet?

33333
This is an example string of text. An example three letter code would be HCB. The location of the code within the string varies.
HCB
33332
This is an example string of text. An example three letter code would be CDQ. The location of the code within the string varies.
CDQ

Is there a way to separate text from numbers, (other than text to columns) My data is all different lengths, nothing consistent,plus I want to put the separated data in another column.
I have a script to import all the data in a text file into an excel sheet. However, the data that is imported are in the first column of every row.
for e.g. 123454566788329929201012827192019128278111111111abc213123123123123
there is no comma nor / to separate the string of alphanumerics is there any vba script that i can incorporate to separate the first 3 digit in the first column then 5 digit in the second column then 7 digit in the 3rd columns and etc.
I have one column that has forename and surname information and I need to separate the surname into a separate column next to the forename.
Is there a formula for this?
I've tried the formula where you can request to move so many characters to the right, but it's difficult with all of the surnames being a different number of characters.
I am in need of a formula that will separate a string of text. Specifically, I want to pull out the number values (including cents) from the rest of the text. This is how the text reads:
10.00 OVERDRAFT PROTECTION TRANSFER FEE 10.00
56.00 ELECTRONIC/ACH DEBIT 56.00
199.00 ELECTRONIC/ACH DEBIT 199.00
2,017.64 ELECTRONIC/ACH DEBIT 2,017.64
The data to the left is the data I am working with and the I want the results to read similar to the results on the right.
I need to get the string GE#### before each " class="button"> and copy it on a cell on the right. There are other links of this format [URL] ..... in the cell, but I am interested only the ones that have " class="button"> after it.
The length of the ID after GE can be 2, 3, 4 or 6 characters long. But I am ok with getting GE + 6 characters following it as that means I would get something like GE12" cl and I will delete the extra character by doing a find/replace.
I am running a Macro to fix my hyperlinks in excel, and I have several worksheets that I want to preform the same function for but with different new and old strings. The code I'm running is the hyperlink fix code:
Sub Fix192Hyperlinks() Dim OldStr As String, NewStr As String Dim hyp As Hyperlink
I am trying to match up company codes across three different columns. I am inserting rows to get them to match up. However, there has to be an easier way.
my w/s has a column for codes and then currency columns. Users may select codes from a list of over 600 codes. I need to enter a formula that subtotals by each code used.
I have so many part codes in column A with their Group in Column B.I want to arrange in ascending orders only those part codes which have almost matching in Column A with other part codes with different group.Please see the attached file and expected result.
I am working on a large volume spreadsheet comprising of the usual mailing list fields such as first name, surname, company, address1, address 2 , suburb, state, postcode etc etc
Is there a way for Excel to auto fill a line of details (or display a list the matching entries)?
this way, i can start to enter a semi-unique field such as surname, company or address and a list of matching entries pop up for me to select the best fit.
I receive an extraction from AutoCAD that lists the electrical devices in a drawing. I don't have any problems extracting the letters. I have a problem extracting the device number and the device number extension.
The device label extraction is similar to this: DCM1005-1 DCM1005-10 DCM1005A MTR1005-1 MTR1005-10 MTR1005A
I want to create 3 columns from the device label: (I separated the column with commas) A1, B1, C1, D1 DCM1005-1, DCM, 1005, 1 DCM1005-10, DCM, 1005, 10 DCM1005A, DCM, 1005, A MTR1005-1, MTR, 1005, 1 MTR1005-10, MTR, 1005, 10 MTR1005A, MTR, 1005, A
refer to the attached workbook for reference. I am looking for a function in Sheet1, Column E that will search for the value of Sheet1, Column A within Sheet2, Column A. When a match is found, the function should look across Sheet2, Columns B - V for values of 1. When such values are found, the function should return the associated value from Sheet2, Row 2. There may be multiple values of 1, and as such, the function should separate values with a comma.
I have a sheet in which some of the cells have two strings separated by a linefeed. I have come up with a cumbersome formula which will let me check if either of the two strings is a member of a list stored on another sheet. However, it fails if there is only one string in the cell, presumably as there is no linefeed for the formula to find. How can I modify the formula to cope with this situation?
There are also on occasions, three strings in the cell, but I can't seem to access the middle string with the formula. Simplified spreadsheet attached to show the problem. This must be formula-based, as we have a no VBA policy. If you think there is better way of doing this, please let me know.
If this has been requested already, I apologize, please direct me to the right thread and flog me with USB cable. I've been searching the forum for an answer for a couple of hours now for the answer to this:
I have a list of words in column A on a sheet and I'm trying to write a formula on another sheet that will check all cells on a pre-populated row and return a value if any of the words from the list on are contained in any of the cells in the row. I've attached an example spreadsheet
Searching a text string on Sheet 1 to see if it contains any item in a list (on Sheet 2 Column 1) and if so return the value of Sheet 2 Column 2 next to the list item found?
It's a budget problem: Sheet 1 has my downloaded Visa statements. I want to categorise all items.
Eg Any item containing the string 'safeway' is categorised as 'General expenses'. So the list on Sheet 2 has an item called 'safeway' and in the next column 'General expenses'.
And for the item on Sheet 1 'BPAYN BUPA AUSTRALIA BPAY MBF monthly' I have an item in Sheet 2 that is simply 'BUPA' with category 'Medical expenses'.
i have been trying to find in C1 the 1st product in a list of products that is in text strings of various lengths and the product will be in different places each time eg; list in A1:A4 is babydoll camisole corset basque, the text string in B1 is Satin strech babydoll with low neck
in B2 the text string is Beautiful lace basque with corset style back. in C1 i'm looking to find babydoll from B1 in the list A1:A4 in C2 i'm looking to find basque from B2 in the list A1:A4 in D1 i'm looking to find any 2nd match from B1 in the list A1:A4, result = "" in D2 i'm looking to find any 2nd match from B2 in the list A1:A4, result = corset in E1 & E2 i would like to find any 3rd matches
i have been reading up on this and trying formulas but i cant figure out how to find from a list and the text string data is not in a standard order.
I have a column of text strings on Sheet1, Column A, which I need to check for the presence of keywords listed on Sheet2, Column A
So if any word from the keyword list on Sheet2, Column A is found in, say, cell A2 of Sheet1, the cell to its right (B1) should have a formula to display the count of keywords found in A2. I also would like to see each keyword identified either through a highlight or a list. I need the formula to NOT be case sensitive and the match does not have to be for whole words).
I have two worksheets with one row of 'accounting' type numbers in A1:A100 (it can be shorter or longer) on both sheets. I need to run a search on worksheet one to see which of them exactly match any on the second worksheet and then highlight them.
It can be a macro or it can highlight each entry a different color. Something so that I can determine which two numbers go together and I can run the thing only once.
There most likely will not be multiples on the same worksheet but if there are it will be few. If multiples happen it is ok it just needs to be matched to the second worksheet in a different color than the other similar numbers.
Another thing is if there is no match in either worksheet that is ok it can just skip to the next number in the list and check that one. There does not need to be a match.
I have a list of names (text string) in a column (A) that have associated whole numbers in another column (B). What I would like to do is create a formula that multiplies the text string in cell A2 (for ex.) by the whole number in B2 and return a "list" of the text string in A2 equal to the whole number by which it is multiplied.
Here's a visual example of the results I want to achieve:
Using the above example, I would like to end up with a list in column D with 159 total rows with the text contents corresponding to the whole number in column B.
I have workbooks based on the date. Here is an example "Daily Numbers Report - Summary_2014_02-18-06-02-30"
All of the files are formatted this way. Then, in a master file I have dates going horizontally for the entire year in the following format Tue Jan 15, etc. How could I do a lookup that would grab from all of the open files and match the date BUT subtract 1 day from that date for all the lookups, so Feb 18 would look at 2-17?
