Take X Characters From One Cell And Y Characters From The Next?

Aug 1, 2014

So we have people's names in a table. First name in one column and last name in another column. We have a 3rd column where we can use 8 characters to do a combination of First 5 of Last Name + first 3 of first name. However, if someone's last name is only 3 or 4 characters, we'd then want to take more from the first name to fill out the 8 characters.

So:
Charles Johnson -> Johnscha
John Smith -> Smithjoh
Willian Wu -> Wuwillia

What's the best way to do that without creating some crazy formula with tons of if/thens?

Formula Cannot Go Above 255 Characters?

Jan 10, 2014

Ok so my formula simply wants to substitute a really long string of text with a blank cell. Problem is that the really long string of text goes over the 255 char limit for a formula.

How can I go about solving this problem. I think you could name the string of text as a variable such as "long text" and then use the substitute formula as such:

=SUBSTITUTE(A1,"long text", "")

Something like that? I don't know if it would work or the steps to name the variable.

Defining Name Over 255 Characters?

Feb 17, 2014

I'm trying to make a chart viewer on the first sheet of my spreadsheet and am using this website as a guideline, [URL] However instead of the 3 charts in the example, I have 12 which makes my formula for defining a name substantially longer.

By moving my charts to the same sheet and getting rid of the INDIRECT formulas, I shortened my formula to 291 characters which is too long as the limit is 255.

=IF($G$9="Sodium",$N$34,IF($G$9="Manganese",$N$35,IF($G$9="Iron",$N$36,IF($G$9="Nitrate Nitrite",$N$37,IF($G$9="Nitrite",$N$38,IF($G$9="Nitrate",$N$39,IF($G$9="PH",$N$40,
IF($G$9="Conductivity",$N$41,IF($G$9="Turbidity",$N$42,IF($G$9="Fluoride",$N$43,IF($G$9="Selenium",$N$44,$N$45)))))))))))

Is there any way to make my formula shorter? Or to reference a cell where I place the formula?

How To Add Three And Five Characters Between Text?

Jun 9, 2009

I've searched Excel's Help but still unsure how to do this. I hope excel experts here can lend me a hand...

I have literally thousands of words in a single columns column which looks like this:

absah
absen
absenan
absensi
abses
absis
absolusi
absolut
absolutisme
...
...
...
etc

My question is what formula if i'd have to enter to add three spaces between characters and five characters at every end of the word so it should look like this?:

a b s a h .
a b s e n .
a b s e n a n .
....
....
etc

Note i have entered a full stop at the end of the example above to make the five spaces visible in this demonstration (I dont need the period character inserted at all).

How To Change Value Of Characters

May 22, 2013

I use excel for keeping a database of all the movies I have seen.

My problem is in regard to the value of characters. I sort my movies by default alphabetically and am wondering if there is any way to exclude the word 'The' from the sort. Traditionally when movies are sorted alphabetically, that word does not count, but obviously my problem is that excel is indeed including it.

There is also another problem regarding the value of characters. When I rate movies less than a '6' I would like to write it as "<6". The problem is that excel actually reads the "<" symbol as being of greater value than numbers and will put any movie rated "<6" at the top of the row when I sort largest to smallest. Is there any way to change the value of the "<" symbol so that my movies rated "<6" will be sorted below all my other rated movies?

I have a code that acts a little like pivot tables where it copies a few columns from the workbook into a different sheet.

I was able to get the code use only the first 6 characters but it extends to the entire sheet!

How to limit this to only column G as opposed to the entire sheet?

Too Many Characters In Cell

Jan 28, 2010

I have a spreadsheet which I use to enter notes related to particular invoice numbers. A v-lookup pulls the notes into another tab. What I'm running into is that the notes can be quite lengthy - in excess of 1,000 characters. When the notes get too long, they don't all appear in a single cell (unless it's extremely wide).

I'm wondering if there may be a way to maintain my notes in a word doc instead? Maybe in a table that pulls in using a v-lookup? But I'm not able to figure out how to direct a v-lookup to a word doc.

Delete Characters More/and Less Than

Feb 19, 2007

I have a keyword list in ColA. about 25,000 phrases.
What I want to do is create a macro button.
when i click on it a pop up box would appear called "Deleting Characters"
It will have to 2 rows, 1 saying "More Than",, the other saying "Less Than"

So, beside these words are input boxes.
So I can type the numbers "2" and say "50"
So it will look at all the rows of data in my ColA (Always from A3 downwards)
and deletes all rows with less than 2 characters and more than 50 characters.
When it is finished a floating box appears saying
"123 Characters Less Than 2 Deleted"
"101 Characters More Than 50 Deleted"

Sub NoOfCharacters()
Dim lastrow As Long, TotP, TotC, AvC
lastrow = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
If lastrow < 4 Then
MsgBox "Nothing to sort!"
Exit Sub
End If
Range("B1").EntireColumn.ClearContents
Range("B3").Formula = "=LEN(A3)"
Range("B3").AutoFill Destination:=Range("B3:B" & lastrow)
Range("A3:B" & lastrow).Sort key1:=Range("B3"), order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlGuess
TotP = lastrow - 2
TotC = Application.Sum(Range("B3:B" & lastrow))
AvC = TotC / TotP
MsgBox "Total No Phrases: " & Chr(9) & Chr(9) & Chr(9) & TotP & Chr(13) & "Total No Characters: " & Chr(9) & Chr(9) & TotC & Chr(13) & "Avg No Characters Per Phrase: " & Chr(9) & AvC

Counting Characters

Mar 30, 2009

I have 62,000 lines - and some of the cells contain 4 numbers, and some of the cells contain a sequence with two letters followed by 8 numbers

I want to count how many cells have the sequence of two letters and 8 numbers.

Everything Ive read so far has led me to using the LEN function, but that doesn't seem to be working too well for me.

Example: In D5 if I have AB00011111

Basically =LEN(D5) will tell me there is 10 characters in the cell - How do I get it to count the cells with only 10 characters and post the number of cells with 10 characters in column E1 for me.

Unknown Characters

Apr 20, 2009

Using web queries i get in a cell ie:

or

The last part of these "numbers" (3/4, 1/2, 1/4) is text that i want to convert into numbers (0.75, 0.5, 0.25).
If i isolate this text in a cell (with the right() formula) the code() formula gives 63 as result for all the above texts.
I may solve the problen storing these texts (3/4, 1/2, 1/4) in separate cells (pre-fixed in some cells) and then for my new data (from query) do some search/find .
Is there a better way solving this using a different way-macro?

Len() Comparing First 3 Characters In Row

Nov 8, 2009

coming up with right code.

I have a row of variable length.

The rows contain text (no more than 4 charatcers in length) which may or may not be duplicate.

I do not want any rows deleted during the process.

I need a counter that will tell me the number of unique rows of characters. In other words, there may be 500 rows, but lets say there are 200 that are actually duplicate charcaters, which means my unique row count is 300.

I know i probably need to sort the data first....thats no problem

I know I need to use LEN()....I'm just not quite sure how to put it together.

Cells With More Than 255 Characters

Jan 18, 2010

I have some text that I need to format, at the moment it looks like this:

[note name="Person A" label="0"[Person A's information]/note]
[note name="Person B" label="0"[Person B's information]/note]
etc

I would like to extract the Name (Person A) and the actual note itself (Person A's information) into two columns. I tried using "Text to Columns" as I have in the past, but there is a problem. Many of the information fields contain hundreds of characters, with the largest being ~2500 characters. The text to columns works does its job but cuts out a lot of data (anything over 255 characters).

I'm using MS Excel 2000

The text contained HTML codes, so they have not appeared correctly I have replaced with []
