Parsing Cells Into Hyperlinks

May 4, 2006

I'm creating a table to store a large amount of data that will be continously updated over time. The table however will be viewed from a website, not as an Excel document, and I found a great add-in that generates small, clean HTML code to that end.

I'd like to do something else a little more tricky however ( for me ). I'd like every item in the first column to automatically hyperlink to a predesignated URL, and then parse the contents of that cell onto the end of the web address. If the cell contained multiple words, it would parse "+" between each word to create the proper address. The hyperlinks will be fetching database information from an exterior website.

For example, Column1 Row1 might say "Dog", so a hyperlink would be generated to [url] Column1 Row2 might say "Red Corvette", so a hyperlink would be generated to [url]

Parsing Names In Separate Cells

Oct 23, 2009

a smart formula (no VBA) that will reverse the order of a list of names - parsing into separate columns.

The formula needs to be able to recognize/distinguish that if a comma(s) is present, then the names are listed as last, first middle. If there is a period this means the name has a middle initial or that a suffix is present. So,if the names are listed as last, first and middle then in the next columns will have in the proper order first name, middle name or initial (keep the period) and last name (loosing the comma of course).

If the original name order is in normal order - first middle and last then the formula should just pass through without any change. Would need to preserve generational titles such as Jr., Sr., III etc. Not sure where the best place for the generational titles should end up. Probably as part of the last name. See examples:

Col ACol BCol CCol D Col E
William J. ClintonWilliam J. Clinton
Churchill, Winston Leonard Spencer Winston Leonard Spencer Churhill
Bates, JohnJohn Bates
James Knoll PolkJames Knoll Polk
Taft, William H.William H. Taft
Carter, James, Earl, Jr.James Earl Carter Jr.
Rockefeller, John Davidson, IVJohn Davison Rockefeller IV
Gates, William, H., IIIWilliam H. Gates III
St. James, Michael, Ken Michael Ken St. James
CherCher

I tried using many variations of FIND, SEARCH, LEN and searching all the Excel boards to no avail.

Formatting Cells For Hyperlinks

Mar 18, 2013

I have Excel 2003 & am trying to design a template for keeping track of my design products. I have several rows for links to previews, downloads etc. I use the template when placing merchandise in stores so I can copy/paste the info where needed. I want to copy links to a cell but have them be non-clickable. If I paste the link & then right click the cell & choose remove hyperlink I get non-clickable text, however I lose the original formatting for that cell.(left/center/wrap text).

Explicit Hyperlinks, Relative Hyperlinks

Feb 21, 2007

I have a spreadsheet and within the first sheet there are lots of hyperlinks to other cells within sheet 1 (my template).

I have made a small macro which very basically makes a copy of sheet 1 (my template)

The hyperlinks in the template are explicit and as they are copied to sheet two, they still reference back to cells in sheet 1. I need the hyperlinks to be relative, so that when I make a copy of the template the hyperlinks are copied and make reference to cells in the new sheet. I cannot work out how this should be done

Macro: Create Hyperlinks In Column Cells

Sep 11, 2006

I tried to learn VBA about 4years ago, so my knowledge as died. I hope this question has not come up before, i did do a search before. I wish to create a new hyperlink based on a activecell eg. A1=SN0001 then hyperlink will be SN0001. Only thing i can remember how to do is record marco, but ofcourse copying the cell will return a hardcoded value.

Where address is :="1" how do i paste the activecell. I have 9000 cells to hyperlink.

I have a worksheet where rows are continually hidden and unhidden.

When the code to hide or unhide the rows runs I would like to have a macro that sequentialy numbers/labels the visible cells in column D that contain hyperlinks.
i.e the first visible cell with a hyperlink will have it's text changed to "Table 1", the second visible cell's text will become "Table 2" etc. The hyperlink should not be altered when this happens.

Parsing Pasted Data

Oct 13, 2008

macro that will parse data that has been pasted in to Excel from a text document. Once the macro is executed the pasted data will be sent to a separate spreadsheet and parsed horizontally with the data residing in is respective cell.

Here is an example of my data from text:
FIRST: Frank
MIDDLE: N.
LAST: Stien
ADDRESS: APT14
STREET: Halloween
ZIP CODE: 123456
CITY: Scaryville
STATE: Scary Ya
COUNTRY: Transilvania
COMMENT: N/A

Here is an example of my desired results:
A2:Frank, B2:N, C2:Stien, D2:APT14, E2:Halloween, F2:123456, G2:Scaryville, H2:ScaryYa, I2: Transilvania, J2:N/A

The data is always pasted in A2 on the first sheet, and varies somewhat in length but the format is always the same.

Parsing Address Data

Oct 9, 2009

I have been given a set of data from one of our clients with company and address information in a Microsoft Word document. The data is not formatted into fields delimited by either a comma or tab and none of the fields has a heading of any sort. The data flows vertically rather than horizontally. I have imported the data into Excel in the hopes of being able to break out the data into an Excel or csv format in which the data can be imported into a Filemaker Pro database. Its format is the following:

Company Name (cell A:1)
Address (cell A:2)
City (cell A:3)
State (cell A:4)
Zip (cell A:5)
telephone (cell A:6)

I have tried recording a macro that moves the data from cell A:1 into cell B:1, then cell A:7 into cell B:2, etc. But have failed to get a macro to work that runs through all of the data in column A:A. The data is consistent - that is, there are only the 6 rows of data. Is it possible to write a code that moves the data from cell A:1 (the company name) into cell B:1, then skips 6 rows to cell A:7 (the next instance of a company name) and moves cell A:7 into cell B:2. The same procedure would then be run on the address, city, zip, and telephone.

Automated Web Query And Parsing

Nov 28, 2009

I am attempting to automatically (once a week) pull down the data from this site (http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/esc/oe/plan...bidsum_csv.php) which is posted in a csv and parse it. While this may seem to be a simple process, the people who posted the CSV did not take into account that there are dollar values in the data in the millions and billions. As a result, a normal comma parse does not work since it splits the values.

Parsing Data - Get Any Number That Is Before C And C Itself

Mar 21, 2012

Here is an example of some data I need to parse.

IN: CS, Test 2A-1, CBL, PHL, South Penn I/L, Loc P10, 49C-Loc P11B, AP 1.5

That code that I have so far:

select t.description,
REGEXP_SUBSTR(t.DESCRIPTION, '[^,]+', 1, 1) col_1,
REGEXP_SUBSTR(t.DESCRIPTION, '[^,]+', 1, 2) col_2,
REGEXP_SUBSTR(t.DESCRIPTION, '[^,]+', 1, 3) col_3,

[Code] .......

I have 2 problems:

1st problem is that for COL 7, all i want in there is the "49C", I'm currently getting " 49C-Loc P11B".

My ultimate goal is to get any number that is before the C and the C itself. The number before the C could be 1 to 3 digits.

2nd problem is Column 9. That snipit of data will always start with an "A", have another alpha, then a space, then a number. I'm trying to just get the number.

Text Parsing With Variable Length?

Jun 10, 2014

Column M:
##/##/#### | Variable Length Text-####

Example:
01/06/2014 | Daniel Trimble-4048

I need to parse out the different parts of Column M.

In Column R -- "Close Date", I'm successfully using:
=LEFT(M2,FIND(" | ",M2)-1)

...to extract the close date of the donation.

In Column S, I want to list the donor name--which is all of the text after " | ", and before the "-".

I don't need anything after the hyphen, and fortunately in this data, no one's name has a hyphen in it.

The Close Date is working fine for the LEFT and FIND functions, but for the life of me, I can't seem to get MID to work for the variable-length text. The text will always start in the same position -- 14, as the date and delimiter are standardized. And the last 5 characters of the text are not variable in length, so they can be cut out completely.

How do I use MID to extract everything starting at position 14, and stopping 5 characters short of the end of the text?
