Cell M contains the number 001-1234
Cell N contains the number 1234567 (I have formatted the cell to appear with a dash at the beginning -1234567
Cell O contains the number 891 (I have formatted the cell to appear with a dash at the beginning -891)
I want to combine the three cells and have the number look like this
001-1234-1234567-891
Is there a formula that will do this
I have tried the Concatenate to combine the cells but it just combines the numbers and won't let me format the number as I want it.
I am using the VLOOKUP function in a cell, however, I would like the value returned to also retain the text format from the table (eg colour and bold). I have attached a simple example (to demonstrate the point) where cell B14 should have the word 'French' in bold red.Example.xlsx
I've created a group of user forms used for recording jobs and displaying details of jobs and have come up against a problem I think you may be able to help me with.
When the user creates a new record, I've written some code to stamp txtdate text box with the current system date and this information is then copied onto a sheet called Data into a specific column.
This part works fine and as the column is formatted to handle dates it displays fine.
However, when I pull the data back in, it displays the date as the serial number date, not formatted as dd/mm/yy. I've tried every fix I can find to sort this but none of them seem to work.
The idea is that the user selects a job number from combobox1 and then the appropriate column is pulled into each txt box on the form.
At the same time, I'm trying to do the same for the system time as well. Unsurprisingly I have a very similar problem here and use the same code as above. I've tried formatting both date and time txt boxes in the userform, the data transfer code etc etc with no success.
Cells a3 and a4 may contain a number less than number of digits specified above but are custom formatted 000000 and 0000 respectively to ensure they have the correct number of digits. My problem is when I try to combine the four cells they lose their formatting. I have tried =A1&A2&A3&A4 and = concatenate(A1,A2,A3,A4). But both formulas loose the formatting from the individual cells.
I need assistance with a formula two merge data of two cells together. For instance I have a column 'first name' and 'last name' and I want to create a column of just 'name' and concatinate the data eg: John Smith. I have roughly 175 cells to do this for.
Merging cells where the row is a variable. The code has two loops that consolidate date from two other sheets, it works fine but as you can see it puts the data into columns A,B and C,D respectively. My goal is to combine both into the A,B columns, which I can do very easily. My problem is that between the loops, marked by "HERE" i want to skip a line, merge cells A and B on whatever row that maybe and set an header.
how would i run a macro to merge duplicate cells in a column
For example, i have lots of data in columns A, B and C
however some of the data in columns A and B is the same. Column C data never changes. so to make it easier to read, i would like to merge these cells (which are the same) together?
-ColumnA- Cat Cat Cat Dog Dog Dog Dog Mouse Mouse Mouse Mouse Mouse
would become.... (with all the other data the same)
-ColumnA- Cat
Dog
Mouse
I dont want to lose any of the rows, as the data in column C is always different. I just want to merge the similar ones, so its easier to read.
Its a bit like this, but i cant even come close to getting this to work: [url]
Is it possible to write a macro whereby the data in numerous cells in a row, say A1:K1 are copied into one cell, L1 then the cells from the next row, A2:K2are copied into the same cell, L1 but on the line below in the cell. I know the above doesn't make much sense so i've attached an example.
I want to merge some cells using a criteria. To be more specific, let's speak on the file attached.
Beginning with the P5 cell I want to merge to the right groups of 4 cells for each name from the column J. Therefore the first group of merged cells will be P5:S5, the next group will be T5:W5 and so on until reaches 11 groups of 4 cells. The last group will be BD5:BG5.
I tried a script like this but it says that there is a syntax error on the "Else" instruction:
I have a spreadsheet of barcodes 114,618 rows long. I have a program that requires me to enter in each and every barcode in a certain format. This is the format that it requires me to place the barcodes into.
Now I have a Macro to add a comma to the end of these barcodes. That part was a breeze, however, I have hit a brick wall when it comes to placing them into an ongoing sentence type format, that my program needs. I have found several ways to combine and merge and "justify" the content, however these typically only cover small amounts of content, and doesn't even come close to hitting anything over 100,000. I don't know if maybe I need to be using another program in tandem with Excel.
I am programming VBA for Excel and I have a problem with automatic popup messages. I would like to answer Excel's request "Selection contains more than one value. If cells are merged, only the first entry will remain" with OK. The cells are sorted, so they contain the same value, hence I want to merge them. Of course I could work around and delete every entry except for the first before merging, but I would like to know, how to answer this popup automatically, so that the user does not get to see it.
I need to combine or merge text from cells in 20 rows of data into a format able to be printed. This is evaluation data for a class of 20 students, where each row is one students response to the evaluation, with the last cell in the row containing their comments (text data that may be blank, or up to several sentences in length). Here's what I'm trying to do:
Combine all 20 cells into one cell that can be printed (with word-wrap turned on). Add a blank line between each comment. Disregard any blank cells so extra blank lines are not added.
I am trying to merge two cells that have the exact same content in each cell. Everytime I do this, I get a pop-up warning that Im trying to merge cells with content in them and that only the upper-left content will remain. This is exactly what I want, without that pop-up, as I have to do this for multiple columns at a time.
is there a formula or macro for merging identical text cells in a column?
I am looking at data relating to familes with a row for each family meber therefore the address cells for each family are identical. I would like to merge these cells for ease of reference when printing the data to be used as handouts for staff attending the households.
So what I want to do is add the numbers up so I can get one value. For example, 4RWHB I want to add them all up so that it totals 68 still shows the code and description but then only shows 68 4RWHB 4 Row Wooden Handle Welders Brush and not the same line repeated. I want to condense all the information down so where there is same model numbers I can add it up and it doesn't give me multiples but summarises it down into one line per model number.
From a supplier I will get a spreadsheet including the the following Information which I need to convert into an url including trailing slash (/) for an online store.
Column A = Value of Main Cartegory (e.g. Holidays) Column B = Value of Subcategory_1 (e.g. Christmas Decor) Column C = Value of Subcategory_2 (e.g. Candle Holders)
Those raw data are without any trailing slashes. Now I want to create a column e.g. Column D (product_url) which should be a summary of column A thru C but if there is only a Value for Main Category there should be no trailing slash, if there is a Value for Main Category and a Value for Subcategory_1: no trailing slash after Subcategory_1 but trailing slash between Main Category and Subcategory_1.
The result should look like this: Holidays (Main category) Holidays/Christmas Decor (Main category & Subcategory_1) Holidays/Christmas Decor/Candleholders (Main category & Subcategory_1 & Subcategory_2)
Is it possible to create something like that in Excel at all since all values will only be text and the trailing slash is actually functional for Excel calculations but in this case it would have to be treated as "text".
What I have is a massive table of data (15k+ entries), which consists of 4 different tables merged together. I have a lot of duplicate entries. However, most of these entries have information in one or another columns that its duplicate does not.
What I need to do is:
Identify the duplicate entries (by part number, which is one of the columns).
Merge the duplicate entries. In the merging process, I need to carry information over, taking data that is currently in 2 or more rows and merging it into one row.
Here's an example:
column1 column2 column3 column4 row1 a . . d row2 . b row3 . . c
needs to turn into:
column1 column2 column3 column4 row1 a b c d
If I'm not explaining this well, I will do my best to clarify. My main question is, is there any way to automate this process (even partially)
I want to create a string of 0's and 1's in the same cell in excel.
I used the function =randbetween(0,1) to generate 1's and 0's. Just wondered if there is a way to repeat this multiple times in same cell so it looks like 1 0 1 0 0 1 etc... as an example. Or a way to merge cells?
