Trying to Parse text in Excel - Since there is no definitive length and no standard in the way the name is created , I am having tough time to use the Software reports.
A column is from software report,
I am looking for any option to arrive at values as appearing in F column.
I did B and C column but not sure is there any other efficient way of doing the same or any other formula to arrive at F - Desired Result.
I am trying to determine a way to quickly import data from text files into Excel and place data in suitable columns (under correct headings). I am thinking I could be asked which file to read and import doing them 1 by 1, or if there is an automated way to cycle through all the files that would be more efficient (filenames are variable).
From the text files I have attached I can tell the column headers and what data should go under each. Not sure how you would describe the delimiting on these files? Are these files in a format that VBA could be used to reduce manual copy and paste approach? I have about 300 of these files I want to extract the data from.
Note: the attached files are from a public access website.

I am working on modifying this code (below) that I found here: VB Macro to search webpage for text string
Code:
Option Explicit
Public stResultstr As String
Sub SearchForString()
Dim rngURL As Range
Dim cll As Range
Dim stCheck As String
Dim xmlHttp As Object
[Code]...
So right now I have the script prompt you for a URL range, then it asks you for what you want to search for, and I have it set to return the next 10 characters from that found point.
You can see here:
Code:
If InStr(1, stResult, stCheck, vbBinaryCompare) > intt Then
intt = InStr(1, stResult, stCheck, vbBinaryCompare) + Len(stCheck)
I began to create something to identify the last position of the found item because next I want to loop it to find the next occurance of the same thing and return the next 10 characters after it in the next cell to the right in that same row:
Code:
cll.Offset(, 1).Value = stResultstr
Again, what I want to do here is find and parse out every occurence of a string (inputbox) found on a web page url in column A. The parse occurrences will go to the right in cells C though ? for row N.
I need to parse text strings and format them.
The string looks like this and runs down an unknown number of rows in one column, Col A.
+000800-000900+00123456-000800+0012345650+000700
I want to parse this so that the results will be text to columns
80.0 90.0 1234.56 80.0 1234.56 50 70.0
I want to thank BrettH for creating this VB. I want to manipulate it to read every row in Col A that has data, and then I want to parse the data as shown above. BrettH's VB works but I couldn't modify it to read all the rows that had data. I tried looping the rows using a counter loop and also a For Each loop, but could'nt get it to work.
Sub ParseInCellMath()
Dim DefaultRange As String, UserRange As Range, OrigForm As String
Dim TempForm As String, NegString As String, NegStart As Integer
Name They are all QC(Quality Control) then Rank
In cell A1:
Anderson, Bob QC, Top Gun
I need in B1:
Anderson, Bob
In C1:
Top Gun
What could I use to get these results? The QC, is consistant every time in each set of text.
I'm trying to populate a ComboBox or ListBox with elements parsed from a html code I've already parsed from a webpage. Explaining: I was able to extract from the webpage code the part that contains the information I want, which is:
VB:
<li><a href="/universidad/" rel="*">Universidades</a></li>
<li><a href="/universidad/duoc/" rel="28184">DuocUC</a></li>
<li><a href="/universidad/inacap/" rel="28162">INACAP</a></li>
[Code].....
Now I want to make a ComboBox containing every university as a different option and, if possible, to assign them the corresponding values shown in the code.
I need 3 columns - Title - HD - Channel. If no value for HD, the field would be blank.
Data looks like this in txt file:
> A&E HD 265
> ABC Family HD 311
> Altitude Sports and Entertainment HD 681
> American Movie Classics (AMC) 254
> Animal Planet HD 282
> BBC America 264
> BET Jazz 330
> BYU TV 374
> Big Ten Network HD 220
> Black Entertainment Television (BET) 329
> Bloomberg Television 353
> Boomerang 298
Needs to look like this in Excel
> Should look like:
> A&E HD 265
> ABC Family HD 311
> Altitude Sports and Entertainment HD 681
> American Movie Classics (AMC) 254
> Animal Planet HD 282
> BBC America 264
I have the following entry in A1
email_yshot_20081222
I want a formula to parse the text based on the "_" deliminator so email is in B1, yshot is in C1 and 200081222 is in D1.
A while back I asked how to remove the letters from entries that have both numbers and letters. I as pointed to a UDF called "ExtractNumber".
Here is the code for that UDF: .....
I have a software application that imports audio files and writes information about these files to text files. I'm trying to write and Excel/VBA application that will parse and import the data contained in these files. find a sample of one of these files attached. The big hurdle I am facing is I cannot figure out how to parse this file - the delimiter keeps changing as throughout the file (see example below):
otrk ´ptrk ¬
otrk Îptrk Æ
otrk Ôptrk Ì
otrk âptrk Ú
otrk *ptrk "
otrk Øptrk Ð
otrk þptrk ö
otrk ´ptrk ¬
otrk ptrk
otrk Ðptrk È
otrk Þptrk Ö
otrk þptrk ö
otrk ptrk
otrk îptrk æ
otrk ptrk
I was wondering how I would go about witting a vba for that can be connected to a button which would allow me to enter a row of input.
Some of these values I would like entered for example are: Quantity, Shape, Weight, length....
I would like the user to be prompted to enter these values and then have these values entered into columns, ABC... in a row on the spread sheet.
The catch is I would like this new date to be entered on one sheet via its weight (so that lightest material is on top), on another sheet in this workbook entered via its location so material in the same locations are adjacent to one another, and then finally I would like this updated onto another worksheet.
I receive a text file daily of between 100 to 50,000 rows. It is a combination of many smaller text files or " records". Each record contains a row containing the name and some particulars . From 1 to 5 rows below that row there may or may not be a row containing the score for that record.
Here is an example of what the rows look like;
4505329 64036593 150090 MS MARY SMITH AB Finished
CRP 3.0 SCORE: 400
From the first row I need to pull out the second string of digits (ex 64036593) and the person's name. From the second row I need to extract the score (400). I would like to copy the three pieces of information to 3 separate columns on another sheet.
Comments
1. the word "Finished" always appears at the end of the row with the name in it but it also appears at the end of every record in it's own row like this;
Finished No Note
2. the strings of digits in the first row can vary in length but there are always 3 of them and they are always seperated by spaces.
I need to extract all the names and scores and put them in a table. If a name is not followed by a score I need to put "no score".
1. Open a text file from a directory on my computer
2. Feed the data into a Excel spreadsheet
3. Parse the text from the text file into columns

Is it possible to feed all this data into excel into seperate rows and then start parsing it into columns of
IP Username Date Time KbUsage URL
"Use a formula to fill in column F (brand name) in the data worksheet. The Brand Name is the Branded Description minus the last word.
NOTE extra mark: If your formula can’t find a space (is error = true) then it takes whatever is in the cell and uses that."
Would I be using the CONCANATE formula or something similar?

I have a text file with no discernable format ( can't import into excel) that is too large to put all the data into an excel worksheet. This file is made to print out on a network printer.
I don't need all the info in the file, I would like to specify a variable, search the text file for the variable, then specify the amount of rows down to look for the data value and input the result into an excel spreadsheet.
I need help urgently for parsing a text file to have a specific format. The text file is of format mentioned below: ...

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
1. Search an excel sheet "column" for a particular type of text and insert values based on that text (if found) in another column.
e.g I have column A1 to A10 with different types of text. I would like to search for the keyword "Risk is high" OR "Risk=High" for each cell in the column and insert a "1" if found beside it's corresponding "B" column. If not found, I would like to insert a "0".
So, if the text "Risk is high" OR "Risk=High" was only found in A6, I would like B6 to be "1". Rest of the values in the B column would be "0's", since the text was not found in any of the other cells.
I have a column that is a list of addresses. For example:
I need a formula to separate out the last words (city and state) from the rest of the address and put into a different cell.
I have an unusual request this time. Client wants this and I know it's dumb but this is what they need and I can't figure it out (not smart enough ).
They have the following as contacts in column A:
Belinda Jones & Grant Smith
Ken & Marie Johnson
Bart Simpson
They need this separated into a Contact 1 and Contact 2 so that it ends up like this:
Contact1 Contact 2
Belinda Jones & Grant Smith
Ken & Marie Johnson
Bart Simpson
This is a list of 10,000 names and I have no idea.
I'm looking for a worksheet function that will allow me to separate into another cell the characters between the second and third slash in the source cell. The number of characters varies, but the value I want is always between the second and third slash.

As you can see, CITY name can be multiple words, STATE names are 2 Digit letters for both US and Canada, and ZIP Code is Numeric to US and Alpha numeric to Canada. I have all these in a single Column. I need to separate them into Col J,K, and L. I have the following formulae but these don't return exact parsing. For example; my formulas in order:
To parse CITY, '=LEFT(H15, FIND(" ",H15)-1)'
To parse State, '=MID(H15,LEN(J15)+2,FIND(" ",RIGHT(H15,LEN(H15)-LEN(J15)-2)))'
To parse ZIP, '=RIGHT(H15,LEN(H15)-LEN(J15)-LEN(K15)-2)'.
