Parse After Each Dash

Aug 9, 2007

I work in the Oil and Gas industry and deal with large data tables that have "Location Codes" for lack of a better term.

The problem is that not all Databases use exactly the same format of code, they will however always have the following:

xx-xx-xx-xx ---> ie. a string of four numbers each seperated by a Dash.

This string sometimes will appear after a text name of varying length. With this in mind I would like to parse the four numbers into four different columns.

Things I've tried with some success:

Using the "Right" function to break off the location code off the end of the entire name, and then using the ".parse" command in VB to seperate the numbers at given intervals.

This is great for certain purposes however because the four numbers are not always 2 digits, and the ".parse" command cuts at given intervals it is hard to accurately parse an entire set of data.

Some examples of location Codes are given below:

9-23-78-11
WEST DOE 11-16-81-15
KNOPCIK 3-9-73-9

Can't Get Rid Of Dash In Blank Cells

Feb 12, 2014

I have a spreadsheet that shows a dash in some blank cells and I can't get rid of it. Cells are formatted as general, there's no event code, no conditional formatting, no data validation, no auto-formatting, no nothing. I can copy a cell from outside the range with no dash in it and paste it into one of the cells with the dash and the dash remains. I can't figure it out.

Double Dash In Formulas

Sep 1, 2006

I recently saw Krishnakumar use the formula.
= sumproduct(--(a2:a10=d2),--(b2:b10=e2),c2:c10)

I haven't seen sumproduct used this way. Very cool. I see how it is working, but can anyone tell me more about the syntax of the dash dash used in array 1 and array 2? I have never seen this. How is it different than =SUMPRODUCT(1*(A1:A9=G1),1*(B1:B9=H1),C1:C9), which is the syntax I'm used to seeing.

VBA Find Zero Value (Dash) In Accounting Format

Aug 15, 2013

I have a column of data that may or may not have a formula in them. The cells are formatted in Accounting, w/o the leading $ sign. (i.e. 133.57) The value zero shows up as a hyphen or dash.

The issue is the format of the cell. In that attached worksheet, i inserted two formulas in cell b6 and b7. Both formulas are exactly the same, but the formatting is different. One is in the accounting format, but the other is in general. When I run the code, only the general formatted cell gets found.

My real worksheet is in the accounting formatted code, so I don't want to change my worksheet's numbers into a general format. How I can find the zero value thats in an accounting format?

Below is a strip down version of the code.

VB:
Sub test()[COLOR=#333333]
[/COLOR] Dim rLookInADR As Range
Dim foundcell As Range
Set rLookInADR = Range("b1:b380")
Set foundcell = rLookInADR.Find(what:=0, LookIn:=xlValues, lookat:=xlWhole)
MsgBox (foundcell.Row)
End Sub
[COLOR=#333333][/COLOR]

Clearing Entries By Dash Numbers

Feb 26, 2009

Here is what my worksheets looks like.

54841
54841-1
54841-2
54841-3
55654
58850
58850-1
53254
53254-1
53254-2
56696
56696-3
56696-4
53214
54789

So this list of information needs to be changed to the following

54841
54841-1
54841-2
54841-3
55654
58850
58850-1
53254
53254-1
53254-2
56696
56696-3
56696-4
53214
54789

All the numbers in red need to be cleared. No I have been able to find the original number and clear it. For example I can have the program find 53254 and clear it, but I am really having a tough time having it find -1, -2, -3 and so on. If the program finds a -1, I need any dashes after that to be cleared. If the program doesn't find a -1, then it goes to -2. If it finds a -2 then any number after that needs to be cleared. Here is the code I have to clear some of the numbers.

Custom Number Format - Em Dash For Zero

Dec 19, 2011

I know this works because I have seen it in a workbook at a client's office.

I need a custon number format to substiture an "em" dash for zero. An em dash is a hyphen with the width a the letter m. There is also the so called en dash tht is the width the the letter n. A search of the internet shows that to create an em dash in a cell that contains a 0 ("zero"), hold down the alt key and type 0151 on the numeric keypad. Typing 0150 insert a en dash.

I want to be able to set this up as a custom number format in the custom number dialog.

I need to remove the dashes. I find and replace all - with nothing. that has worked for YEARS. Seems simple to me.

Create A Simple Dash Board Using Only Excel?

Dec 17, 2013

I am trying to create a simple dash board using only Excel and no VBA. What I am trying to do is I want to create dependent drop downs and link up drops downs that will pull out the required data individually or with combination of those two. For example, let's say

A column has Dates of transaction,

B column has Item name

C column has Units

D column has Month name

E column has Shifts (Morning or Evening)

I am trying to make a dash board that will pull total Sum of individual items based on

Only Date wise
Datewise + shift wise
Month wise
monthwise + shift wise

I managed to create drop down list for dates, months, and shifts but i dont know the way how to link the individual drop down lists together to pull the data based on the selection. which function i should use here and how?

Removing Dash From Text Number String?

Oct 3, 2010

We often get spreadsheets from our customer that are formatted with both comma and dash combinations. We would like to only have the comma seperation.

Example:
R1, R2, R3-R5, R30

Result:
R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R30

There is usually only one alpha character but sometimes more. Example: CR1, CR2, CR3-CR5.

The following macro works great if there are no alpha characters. how to solve the alpha/numeric combination?

Function Nums(rng As Range) As String
Dim adnum As Integer, n As Integer, num, Txt As String

If Cell Contains Dash And Symbol Surrounded On Both Sides By A Number Then True

Jan 13, 2012

I'm trying to make a formula but are failing. This is the data:

Cells:
a1= ant-gel
a2= ant - gel
a3 = size 1 - 6
a4 = size 1-6
a5 = book - 5
a6 = book-5
a7 = good book

I want a formula that displays "True" if cell contains a "-" symbol AND the dash symbol is surround on both sides by a number (a space can go between dash and number)

I want the results to go in column B

For example, if a1 contains a dash and dashes are surrounded on both sides by a number, then "TRUE", otherwise "FALSE.

therefore:
b1 = FALSE
b2 = FALSE
b3 = TRUE
b4 = TRUE
b5 = FALSE
b6 = FALSE
b7 = FALSE

Using VLOOKUP To Fill Data With A Partial String Match Separated With A Dash

Aug 18, 2014

I have a list of items in Column A and size info on Column B i want to being in the info to another sheet with a vlookup but the problem is that I have a lot of items with different colors so after the item no. it has a dash and a letter or two for the color so i want to bring into my new sheet all info.

I have in my old sheet for all items regardless of color so for instance in my old sheet i will BR1000-EM and then in my new sheet i will have BR1000-R and BR1000-SA and BR1000-YC how do i make a vlookup it should only lookup the values in both sheets only till the dash (i cant use a certain no. like left,6 because the item no can have more then 6 but it always has a dash when it has a color code) also not all items have dashes so the dash is not always there but when its there i would like that the lookup should stop by the dash.
