Number Plate Survey Normalization
Mar 29, 2007
I have a list of vehicle number plates (or License plates for some of you) that have been recorded on a video camera and then converted to a text file using recognition software.
Unfortunately the records are far from 100% accurate so any data manipulation (travel times between points etc) becomes a bit dodgy and clumbsy to allow for this. I want to keep all of the data entries but need to identify each vehicle with a little more accuracy. I'm not worried about whether the plate number recorded is correct, only that it is the same for each instance that a particular vehicle is recorded.
The data comes in looking roughly like this:
ABC123
DEF456
AC13
A123
DE56
DEF56
I would like it to look like this:
ABC123
DEF456
ABC123
ABC123
DEF456
DEF456
Or even this:
AB123
DF45
AB123
AB123
DF45
DF45
It doesn't matter which of the above or any other compination as long as there are at least 4 characters.
The surveys are taken over up to a week so there are generally about 5000 records for each time slot that need to be processed.
I have tried to modify the Fuzzy matching functions with no success.

I want to format a cell so it changes from
Ex.:
Input "xy32456"
Output "XY 32 456"
Its a license plate register and I would like it automatically to make spaces between the 2 first letters and again after the following 2 numbers. The code I found searching google was
"LL 00 000"
but that doesnt change anything.
I am not sure if its possible but if anybody has an idea of how to solve it, I would apreciate it mostly.

I'm looking for a function which will check if the cell value is a valid UK registration number plate format.
True if it is, False if it isn't.
I've tried myself and had a look around but am unable to find a solution to my problem.
If also possible, if false, to make to necessary amendments to make it a valid format...ie If some lower case values, make them upper case, if there is a space entered, remove it, if a O is entered instead of a 0, correct it and show the corrected value when the function is run. For all that it can't do that with, then leave as False.
I understand the second part may not be possible, just identifying whether or not the value is a valid format. I have something similar which does this for UK postcodes, but am hitting a brick wall trying to do the same for UK registration number plates.

I followed a youtube video on setting up a survey in excel, and it works great, but it was only for two options. I wanted to make it 5 options per question, but when I started adding to the code ( which I thought was correct, but was not ) I kept getting errors. It probably is a simple addition. How to make the survey options more than two?
There are three tabs. The first tab (Start) only has a button that leads to the QA Survey. The Second tab has the questions and answers. The third tab as three columns in it as well for the name of the person, question number, and answer choice.
Here is the code inside the form (QASurvey):
Code:
Private Sub button_next_Click()
''confirm there is a name
If TextBox1.Value = "" Then
MsgBox ("Please enter your name")
[Code] ...
Here is the code in Module 1:
Code:
''global variables
Public info() As Variant
Public results() As Variant
Public questionnumber As Integer
Here is the code on the sheet that has the button to start the Survey Form:
Code:
Private Sub Start_Button_Click()
QASurvey.Show
End Sub

I am trying to rank questions within a survey with excel calculations and not VBA. The rank would take place for each individual section and would provide the top three right questions and top three wrong questions. The example below explains the ranking.
Brief facts:
Each survey has up to 30 sections.
Each section has up to 150 questions.
Each question has none or no limt of sub-questions.(usually between 1 and 20, weekly changes require this number to change)
The section's number of questions change weekly with updates.
This week section 2 begins with #12, next week begins with #16 because more questions were added to section 1.
There are three possible choices to answer a question (yes, no, or n/a.)
Sub-questions are checkboxes of explanations on why the question could be answered wrong.
Each question may have 0-10 points assigned.
Each sub-question may have 0-10 points assigned.
When a question is answered "no" is when a sub-question may be checked to help explain why.
A question with sub-questions may only be assigned points at the sub-question level. The sub-questions have the points and do not sum up to total the question value.
When a question is answered "no" and a sub-question is checked, the points received are 0 points for that sub-question. Unchecked sub-questions receive the full amount of points.
When a question is answered "yes" all points are received.
The Rank:
The rank would take place for each individual section and would provide the top three right questions and top three wrong questions at the question level. My example below has more than three to help explain further.
Select the highest actual score of question or sub-question. Start with 10 points to 0 points.
When a match is found that becomes the first "correct" question rank. #17 is 1 since 17.1 had an 8 point sub-question.
When there is a tie #14,15,18, the tie breaker is the sum of correct sub-questions added to the question score. #14 = 7 points.
The second sort is the # in ascending order #15 and then 18.
The hardest part of the rank is the flexibility of a changing survey with question/sub-question deletions and additions in each section. ...

I have a survey/form that was created in excel, and that is answered in excel. I am required to extract the data into a worksheet for each response received. I am able to pull the text that is entered, however i am having trouble pulling through the info from the checkboxes. So if a checkbox is ticked i cannot pull that through?

I'm creating a spreadsheet to collect survey data and how I have it set up is this:
Question 1 is a simple yes/no/maybe question - it uses an ActiveX spin button that the user presses up/down to increase/decrease the total. It looks like this:
Private Sub Yes_SpinUp()
With Range("C3")
.Value = WorksheetFunction.Min(15000, .Value + 1)
End With
End Sub
Private Sub Yes_SpinDown()
With Range("C3")
.Value = WorksheetFunction.Max(0, .Value - 1)
End With
End Sub
Cell C3 is where I keep track of how many people answered yes
The button is called "yes" under the button properties
So basically, I have one privatesub for spinning the value up and down. It works fine and is easily copy-paste-able for other answers, it just takes up a lot of space. I'm wondering if there's code I can write to handle the up/down in one sub. If not, i'll stick with what I have.

After survey questions and responses are in excel, how do you analyze this data using a correlation matrix and regression analysis for reporting or testing hypotheses?

I want to analyze a survey which I made. Below you see an example of how I structured the answers.
Now I would like to rank the answes (rows 2-6) in a list according to often each item was mentioned.
I could do transpose the data manually and delete items which were mentioned various times. However, since it was a pretty big survey, it would take to long. Is there a formula to do it?
Original:
Person A
Person B
Person C
Water
Water
Sugar
Washing
Washing
Pasta
Boxes
Milk
Water
Frozen
Vegs
Fish
Cleaning
Cheese
Water
Example of how it should look like:
Water
3 (times mentioned)
100% (because everone mentioned it)

Okay so what I want to know is how I can get the responses from the data spreadsheet I showed you before into this organized data table above.

I have just recently finished inputting data into a spreadsheet which is a whole bunch of survey responses and I am trying to figure out the best way of now “analysing” it. Unfortunately the questionnaire consists of various types of questions, including some open ended, some where the participant selected a number on a scale, or the participants could select any number of options (e.g. tick any that apply).
From a brief search, I see that you can’t have two headings as such for a pivot table so I am wondering what the best approach might be. I have attached a sample spreadsheet. I have a hunch though that it’s going to be a matter of analysing each question individually and using filters and countif formulas (see attached).

An offset sumproduct series of functions provides me the total score percentage for the top level categories. There are 5-6 in total and can easily be charted in a radar.
The second step is to maintain the 'dynamic aspect' (being able to delete rows) and lookup the high-level category, and the subsection and return the score for the individual question. This way I can create a chart for each of the 5 top level categories and show the survey score for each answer in the category. Note each question has a maximum score of 5 and are scored 1-5.
I have a few errors looking up values and percentages coming back as 500% with the addition of new columns (in red in attached). The first sheet is error free, the second sheet is the 'build'.
Note: Charts will be housed on a separate sheet.

I have recorded the data from 12 records (i actually have hundreds, but im just using a small sample). Each record is represented by a vertical column. I want to find the total number of "x's" for only the records from Country1 (from all the answers). Then I want to find the number of "x's" from only Country2. I have tried the "countifs" function but cannot find a way to make it work. Would a different array function be better? How would I write it?
P.S. The answer for Country1 should be: 15.
The answer for Country2 should be: 5.

I have a spreadsheet which has a list of properties with a list of survey dates. The complication is that every property has multiple surveys and these are all on separate lines with the spreadsheet. The number of surveys could also be different depending on the property in question.
What I would like to do is to compile a report which only shows me when the latest particular type of survey (there are five types of survey, I'll call them 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5).
The survey type is shown in column C, the property is shown in column A and the survey date is shown in column F.

I conducted a survey and want to tabulate the results in excel. There is a lot of paper, so I want to list each answer on the spreadsheet and have a button next to it to tabulate the responses instead of doing it by hand. When I look at each survey, I want to click the button for the corresponding answer. I want to have excel tally/increment each response each type I click the button.
So what macro do I need to assign to each button in order to do this? Or can I just click on a cell and have it increment? Or what can I do to achieve this?
My attempts have given my circular reference errors, or if I do the iteration thing (tools, options, iterations), excel increments EVERYTHING in the spreadsheet by one instead of just one specific question.

I am trying to come up with a good way to average a particular question in a survey result for instructors, however the caveat has me pretty puzzled. We're looking to be able to filter by mm/dd/yyyy date (which pulls mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm from raw data) and then have one average of all scores for each instructor listed. It gets a bit complicated in that the actual survey has 6 drop down boxes with all the instructors names, so one instructor could have data for the same (or any) date in any of the 6 colored columns (name, score, qualitative x 6).
My initial thought was to list out the names on a second sheet and then have some sort of averageifs to combine the columns, but I am a bit lost on how to take the dates into account, let alone how to sum the columns then average.

I need a formula that will calucalte the monthly total based on the following conditions:
Col A = Yearly Cost
Col B = The number of the month when the costs are starting (1=Jan etc)
Col C = The duration or the number of months for which the costs are to spread
Col D is Year 2013 with the months across columns D-O. Row 1 above those columns shows the month's corresponding number.
Right now I have =IF($B3<=D$1,$A3/$C3,0) however if my start month is 1 and my duration is 5, I need the costs to stop after May. I've attached a sample file. Calculate based on start month and duration.xlsx

I have an excel database where I register cases. I have in it a button that creates a folder with and ID nr that is in column A (I create new ID nr in the next row, when I press the button it will create a folder with that ID nr and inserts a blank word document in it). We have a template that we copy to the folder (depending what type of case). The idea would be that once the template is filled in and ready to print, It would take the values from the ID nr and a reference number a few cells to the right. Is it possible to tell excel to open the word document in the folder and create a PDF version with the ID nr and reference number. (there are only 2 templates, so the macro would have to look for one of the two in the folder) The names of the templates are: "Standard" and "Other". I guess the best way to start maybe this would be that I select the cell with the ID nr and then press a macro button to have this done. One thing that needs to be done, is to put a copy in the same folder and another in a second folder called "Binder" in my documents folder.

I have a large amount of data and I'm trying to count how many unique values I have in one column. I also want to know how many times each duplicate appears. I tried using a pivot table but it's not working for me.
I also tried the following formula: =SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(H:H,H:H)>0,1)) but it's not quite working.

Is there a function that allows you to read column A for an ID (these may or may not include letters/numbers/"?", are non-sequential and are of variable lengths) and, if it is the first time that it has seen an ID column B will read "sample_1_arm_1", if its the second time it has seen an id it will read "sample_2_arm_1", etc? An example of what I am trying to do on a much larger scale:
id
event_name
C83-858
sample_1_arm_1

How to create a spreadsheet with what I think will be a very simple formula?
If date in B2 - date in A2 is 1 or less days, put a 1 in cell C2.
If date in B2 - date in A2 is 7 or less days but more than 1, put a 2 in cell C2.
If date in B2 - date in A2 is 30 or less days but more than 7, put a 3 in cell C2.
If date in B2 - date in A2 is 90 or less days but more than 30, put a 4 in cell C2.
If date in B2 - date in A2 is 91 days or more, put a 5 in cell C2.
OR
Another, maybe simpler, way of saying it is:
If date in B2 - date in A2 is 1 or less days, put a 1 in cell C2.
If date in B2 - date in A2 is 2-7 days, put a 2 in cell C2.
If date in B2 - date in A2 is 8-30 days, put a 3 in cell C2.
If date in B2 - date in A2 is 31-90 days, put a 4 in cell C2.
If date in B2 - date in A2 is 91 days or more, put a 5 in cell C2.

I have a spreadsheet listing all my vehicles and their respective oil filter part number. Now, some vehicles share the same oil filter and I am trying to find a way to return the vehicle description when using the filter # as a value. In my example below, I am looking to fill the third column with the Vehicle that also shares the same oil filter number. i.e. in the Dodge row, toyota would appear in the third column and vice versa in the Toyota row.
Vehicle
Oil Filter #
Also used with
Dodge
51515
Honda
54565
Toyota
51515
I am not well versed in excel lingo which is probably why I have a hard time coming up with a method that works.
