Next Alpha Number Formula
Jul 18, 2006I am trying to create a formula (or if VBA is better) where when a name is put into a field the next alpha mumber is created. Have attached example.

View 3 RepliesI am trying to write a formula, I have 6 sets of criteria with a lower and higher range, if the number falls within the criteria I would like it to return the Alpha number,
eg, 104, will return D

I have a log that I need to number starting in cell A1, as follows:
A-0001
A-0002
A-0003
etc.
I've put this formula in A2 to try an increment it by 1, but it just replicates the string in A1:
=LEFT(A1,3)&MID(A1,2,5)+1&RIGHT(A1,2)
with the proper syntax?...
I have an Excel file that quiries Google for driving distance (someone helped me with this.) It returns the correct miles but has some 'extra' characters. Example:
31.1&nb or 886&nbs
So the answer always has &nbs after the mileage. I tried the following function which works when there is a decimal but fails when there is not. =REPLACE(MID(E2,1,SEARCH("&",E2,1)-1),SEARCH(".",E2,1),1,","). Can this be done with a function or must it be VB script? Which is fine if it is.
How can you tell what a column number as referenced by the column alpha identifiers.
Ex: Column AN would equal what column no?
I have a column that's supposed to be an address, but somehow got the
company name mixed in at the beginning:
123 Main Street
One Park Place
Acme Company, Inc. 456 Easy Street
Alpha-Omega Dry Cleaning Four-Twenty Highway One
I can use the formula
=RIGHT(A1,(LEN(A1)-((MIN(SEARCH({0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9},A1&"0123456789")-1)))))
for stripping the text before an actual number
Acme Company, Inc. 456 Easy Street
to
456 Easy Street
BUT - I'm not sure how to strip before a text representation of a
number (one, two, three, etc)

I want to extract the page numbers (the final numbers) and place them into a new, separate column.
I am using Microsoft Excel X for Max Service Release 1.
I am competent on basic excel but not familiar with complicated formula etc.
My spreadsheet contains a tasklist. It is generally sorted by priority (number); each row also contains a task ID ("T0100"). When I add a new task I need to know the last used task ID so I can assign the next one.
I've tried various built in functions but each expects numbers.
How can I insert in a cell (or display in a msgbox) the maximum text value?
For example, Given the data below I'd like to have show "T0888".
PRI TASKID
0 T0123
0 T0199
0 T0101
1 T0888
1 T0105
Have a spreadsheet that contains a column of 3 digit numbers as well as 3 digit numbers with 2 trailing alpha characters.
Example:
376
377
421
376AB
376XY
377NC
421GQ
421EF
Need to sort by this column, but, with the parameter of sorting first by the numeric only, and then by numeric with alphas. So, the above list would look like this sorted properly:
376
376AB
376XY
377
377NC
421
421EF
421GQ
I have a sheet with thousands of rows of ID's which are made up of a series of letters, numbers, underscores and or spaces. Within the sheet there are numerous duplicates so I need to able extract the numerical element, which is the key data to be able to identify the duplicates.
The numbers I need to extract are mainly 6 and 7 digits long however don't always sit in the same place within the ID. I don't need the 3 digit number sequences, just the 6 & 7 number sequences
e.g
AB_123_456789_Jones
CD_131_7654321_Smith
AB_123_Jones_456789
I've found a formula that strips out all the numbers, however it also included the 3 digit numbers which I don't want. I've also used Text To Columns to break up the ID across a number of columns however that leaves me with 2 and sometimes 3 columns where a 6 digit ID appears
Is there a simple way to extract the number if it's a certain length? i.e. 6 or 7 digits long
I have a string of letters in cell column L20 through L3019.
The letters are A, B, C, and R . No other letters.
I wanted to find out if it is possible to remove any duplicates when starting in cell L20 going downward.
For example:
L20 = B
L21 = A
L22 = A
L23 = B
L24 = C
L25 = C
L26 = C
L27 = C
L28 = B
L29 = R
L30 = A
L31 = C
L32 = C
L33 = C
L34 = R
L35 = R
L36 = B
L37 = B
In the range L20 through L37 all the letters have appeared so my goal is to create a formula where the outcome is BACR. Starting with the first letter B in cell L20
Cell range L20 through L37. Looking for the next letter which would be either A,C, or R. Since we already used the letter B. In this case it's the letter A
ABCR
Cell range L20 through L37. Looking for the next letter which is the C or R. In this case it's the letter C
CBRA
Finally range L20 through L37. Looking for the letter R which is in cell L29.
RACB
I want to add a letter to the end of value and have it start over at "A" when the cell value changes. For example
My Column contains
BIR1510
BIR1522
BIR1524
BIR1524
BIR1524
BIR1524
BIR1532
BIR1532
BIR1533
I want this in another column
BIR1510A
BIR1522A
BIR1524A
BIR1524B
BIR1524C
BIR1524D
BIR1532A
BIR1532B
BIR1533A
In a column I have data like 2W, 2BM, 4W, 6BM, 10W and 15BM. Question is how can I total all W and all BM. Total for W = 2W + 4W+10W = 16W and total for BM = 2BM +6BM +15BM = 23BM.
What formula should I used to get totals
I have an application where there is a column A with values of F1 through
F83. There is data in columns B,C,D,E,F AND G.
From time to time there is an addition in column A, the value being F1A or F2A etc.
The rows then have to be sorted so that F1A follows F1 and the next row would start with F2 rather than F10.
Attached spreadsheet - the cell highlighted in yellow.
This is the formula I currently have, but it isn't giving me the results I am looking for:
=IF(TYPESVC="CompanyX", COUNT(Companies!I:I), " ")
Basically, IF the Companies tab, last column has 'CompanyX' written in it - then I want to count the number of responses provided in the Q2N column.
Same formula would be copied over to the other cells to the right as well (for Q5, Q6, Q7, etc.)
I'm doing a sort of product codes which are of different character length with some numeric and others alpha-numeric.
A small section of the sort is below.
I want it to end up like this:
4040
4040A
4040B
4040BTO
4040C
4040E
40400
40409
41402
42402
42402A
43400
But the sort ends up like this:
4040
40400
40409
4040A
4040B
4040BTO
4040C
4040E
41402
42402
42402A
43400
In other words, I would like product codes where the last character is a letter to be sorted ahead of product codes where the last character is a digit. The way Excel is normally set up, it sorts in just the opposite way.
I've got a list of reference numbers in column A
IT0001
IT0002
IT0003
And I need to find what the biggest number is without resorting the list.
I have data in column with combination of alpha-numeric like "Member # 308166 RCI Number 4801-60436". can I split this without using copy and paste?
I'm trying to have the macro limit the cell entry to 5 characters beginning with a "P" and the remaining 4 character being numeric. The problem I'm having is that it's not recognizing the requirement for the beginning "P" but only identifies if the length is less than 5 characters. Any idea how I can resolve this?
For PN2 = 43 To 72
If Not IsEmpty(Cells(PN2, 1)) And Left(Cells(PN2, 1), 1) "P" And Len (Cells(PN2, 1)) 5 Then
MsgBox ("The employee number must be 5 characters long begining with P (e.g. P0001), please change accordingly!")
Range(Cells(PN2, 1), Cells(PN2 + 2, 1)).ClearContents
Cells(PN2, 1).Select
End If

So what i need is a 6 digit alpha numeric random (1000 entries)
so from some searching i figured that it should be...
=MID(A1,1+INT(RAND()*LEN(A1)),1)&MID(A1,1+INT(RAND ()*LEN(A1)),1)&MID(A1,1+INT(RAND()*LEN(A1)),1)&
MID (A1,1+INT(RAND()*LEN(A1)),1)&MID(A1,1+INT(RAND()*L EN(A1)),1)&MID(A1,1+INT(RAND()*LEN(A1)),1)
[Code]....
but when i fill down it auto it to a2 , then a3 etc... how do i stop that?
I might delete out the o O and 0 cause it gets confusing...
Also, it re-randomizes every time I open the file... is there a way to stop it?

The sheet I am using has 3 rows . Row B contains data. Row C is Amount, Row D is Month, Row E is Action
To put values in Rows C, D and E , I need the data from row B in following criteria.
data in B row is as follows :-
RS 555/STMT DT 170807/BP12/TO PAY MEMBERSHIP FEE
RS.555/STMT 020907/BP12/ OFFER

RS595/STMT 0807/BP12/ first time
MEM FEES RS 525 /STMT 120807 / BP12/1ST TIM
criteria for row C
if the cell contains "AMT" or "RS" or "INR" or "AMNT" or "RS."then extract the value till first "/" or "" and put it
under Amount row. ( E.g: "AMT 595 /" or "Inr 595/" or " Rs. 595")
criteria for row D
if the cell contains "stmt" or begins with "0" or endswith "07" then extract the value till first "/" or "" and put it under Month row.
criteria for row E
if the cell contains "BP" or "OP" then extarct the value till first "/" or "" and put it under department row. ( e.g " BP01 /" or "OP 02 ")

I want to the formula to look at the 6th and 6th digit (numeric, alpha-numeric, or Alpha) and compare it with the cells under "'PSCCR Queue - Manager" TAB from C4 thru C7.
Below formula is only looking at the first value when comparing.
=IF(A2="","",IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(MID(A2,6,2),'PSCCR Queue - Manager'!$C$4:$C$7,0)),"ITS","Non ITS"))
I've tried searching the forum here, but have not seen anything like my problem as follows:
I would like to convert the numeric value in a cell to a coded alpha
the numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,and 0 would be coded as B,L,A,C,K,H,O,R,S,E respectively.
For example, if cell A1, held the value of 5750, the formula in cell A2 would result in KLOE.
The figures in Col A would be no smaller than 3 digits nor larger than 5 digits.
i need to see what cell in the collum is empty. how can i do that in vb?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have columns and rows that are populated with one of three letters: P, S, & T. At the bottom of the column and at the end of the row, i'd like to assign a numeric score to the entire column/row that is based on converting the characters to a numeric eqivelant. P = 3, S = 2 and T = 1. I'm guess a case statement would be used, but not too sure here. So, I'd need the code behind the worksheet as well as the formula(s) used for the score. I've attached an example.

I am trying to create a shift roster for my team. My team work in general shift (GS), second shift (SS), third shift (TS). There are situations where some team members come in any of these shift but had to leave midway due to feeling well, so that should be counted as half day. This half day scenario may be in any case GS/SS/TS. I am using COUNTIF to get the sum of GS/SS/TS for each employee which is giving a whole number. I also want to incorporate 3 different variations of half day as Half Day GS (HG), Half Day SS (HS), Half Day TS (HT). My expectation is that for each Half Day only 0.5 should be added in a appropriate shift, but COUNTIF is always counting this as 1. How I can achieve this using countif or any other Excel function? Sample sheet is attached.

I can create a hidden column that has the full list of names from both column and have a data validation drop down from that but cant think how to get it into alpha order in that drop down box without having a macro they would have to run 1st to sort it which i dont really want to do. is there a way if ranking a list of names in alpha order as then i could do then do a look up int he correct ranking order and use that list
