I'm looking for a formula which can take my original data (column A) and "transform" it into what you see in column B.
I am transferring large amounts of files from various servers to my ftp and back out again. My original data are url filenames which of course, are named differently and not how you see it in my example.
The filenames themselves are preceeded by website names and varoius folder/path names. I edit the links to include various Usernames and Passwords and at the same time, rename the original filenames. Then I transfer the files to my ftp.
Most of the files have a ".part*.rar" extension at the end, so my formula has only included this scenario. Rather than manually editing my formula everytime a different extension is present (about 20-30% of the time), I would like to find a way to automatically look at a table/list of possible extensions (D2:D7) which are to be recognized for the sake of finding the end of the filename itself, so that I can rename (SUBSTITUTE) the original filename to that of my choice (cell D13) and of course, also include the original extension(s) of the source data (keeping this is important, especially in the cases where ".part*.rar's" are present). The list of extensions in cells E2:E7 are to be excluded from the new filename.
My present formula works fine for the editing of the username and passwords for various servers and for finding the beginning of the filename in the original url. It also works fine for finding the end of the filename (for the sake of renaming it), but only in cases where a .part*.rar" is present.

I have arrived at the following in order to find the 5th "bar" in the data (samples below) :-
=SEARCH("|",$M127,SEARCH("|",$M127,SEARCH("|",$M127,SEARCH("|",$M127,SEARCH("|",$M127,1)+1)+1)+1)+1)
Samples:-
STR|6|L||396|3| STR|4|L|114|396|3| NHF||||1463|175| RND|4|H|111|2352|49|
Is it possible to reduce the repetition within the formula?

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.

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.

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.

one="dog"
two="cat"
three="bug"
four="bird"
I have a 5th variable with a sentence in it for example
Sen=”The bug and bird are in the park”
What I need to know is which of the variables content appears in the variable Sen first and what position it is. In this case it would be variable three position 5.

I have a spreadsheet that gathers information from multiple cells and strings the data into a long string - each piece of data broken by a comma in the string.
In another spreadsheet, I copy this data string into column A on sheet 1 - starting on row 2 and down.
On sheet 2 - and this is where I need help - I would like to have a macro that will take each data string on Sheet 1 column A and parse it out into multiple columns but the same row on Sheet 2.
ColumnA Row2 Sheet1 -> changing to many columns on Sheet2 but still on the same row.
The data string always represents the same number of data components - its just a matter of breaking it out and placing each data piece into its own column.

I have the attached spreadsheet that has 176K of addresses. The cell contains data that is actually Address Line 1 and Address Line 2. I need to separate these. I believe there is an unprintable character that separates most of them -- maybe a CRLF or something like that.
See the attachment for examples ... Cust Address with unprintable characters.xlsx

I am having trouble parsing the numeric data from the following table into separate columns. The five different numbers (ex. 70, 130,10,5,6 in the first row) represent nutritional info about the product. As you can see, the number length varies for the different categories. How to get these 5 numbers into their own columns using LEFT, RIGHT, MID, FIND, etc. functions.

I have an email sent via pdf and the only way to get this into excel is by copying and pasting and it all shows up in one cell.
Not much to focus on other than reading from left to right, once you see a numeric value, this should be in another cell and once you see "LS or WS or NR or COA, this will begin another cell. I had to add the dots to show where the new cell starts.

Parsing values in a column. COLUMN A contains comma separated numbers, varying from possibly an empty cell, to a list of values between 1 and 12 separated by commas. I need to examine the column and place the number 1 in the column corresponding to the number. There will be no duplicates in COLUMN A. Is there an 'easy' way to do this. The table is part of a much larger spreadsheet.

I have renamed a cell to "final"
Now im trying this:
Range("A3:final-1").Select
But that doesnt work, I want the cell just above final.
And I cant refer to the cell above directly due to some factors.
So how could say final - 1?

I have a text file which is attached as "rawdata". It contains records of something (let's call it temperature) at different times on different days. My goal is to display a graph of temperature versus time so that I can visually analyze trends. I have hundreds of these files, all of different lengths. it is very important that I automate this process as much as possible.
Detail: (Here I describe what I have done so far; if this is inefficient or unnecessary, feel free to tell me) I open Excel 2010, click File, Open, and select the file that I want to parse. It is a TXT file, so the Text Import Wizard comes up. For step one, I select Fixed Width. I select File Origin: MS-DOS (PC-8). On step 2 of the wizard, I create column break lines to place all dates in the far left column. The next column contains the first column of numbers before the first dash (-). The next column contains only the dash - I will later select "ignore this column" to eliminate them. The next column contains the time stamps. I continue adding column breaks in the wizard until all of the data are parsed into columns in the same manner.
In step 3, I format the first column as "date (DMY)". The columns with the dashes I select "do not import". Everything else is "general". I click "finish", and the resultant workbook is attached, called "import".
Now, as to what I want to do: I want to display the "temperatures" as a graph vs a date/time axis. The reason I find this difficult is because the temperatures and times are not in neat columns, but are in 4 columns that go in a left-to-right and top-to-bottom progression and are broken up every few lines. (I am interested only in numbers that are displayed immediately to the left of a time-stamp. Therefore, the "record #"s should be ignored. We can delete the rows that say "record #" if can be done automatically.)

I download & import CSV files/ sheets from bank, visa accts etc & I am trying to automate the processes I use including ensuring I (& others) will use the same naming conventions eg visa "yymm" = V0701, Direct Cedits = DC0701 etc. I am having trouble renaming or ensuring the active sheet is named according to the date in A3 eg in the example I want the sheet to be renamed V0702 as the date in the cell is 02/02/07 "dd/mm/yy" format ( imperial system). In BOLD is what I have & the renaming is messy becuase I searched the forum, Walkenbach's bible & help menu.
Sub VisaMonthlyAcct()
Dim shtName As String
Dim newName As String
ActiveSheet.Activate
'ActiveSheet.Name = shtName
newName = "V" & Format(DateValue("A3"), "yymm")
'Old name for future reference = Visa0701 (2)
ActiveSheet.Name = newName
Worksheets(shtName).Name = "V" & Format(Range("A3"), yymm)
'Worksheets("Visa0701 (2)").Name = "V" & (FormatDateTime(Range("A3"), yymm))
'To select Date column & format
Range("A3:A66").Selection.NumberFormat = "dd".............

I have a text file that has data at various time steps say 0,1,2,3 etc. In each loop, the output data is recoreded that contains numbers and strings. I want to parse certain info from this text file.
Say I am interested in reading the data for very last time step, so when I open the text file for reading, I want to move down to the Time Step 3 line. Then I want to read the text line by line, any time I encounter the word WIND, I want to skip five spaces and pick up the number that appears there. I want to paste this value to say cell A1 in a sheet called ParsedData. I want to continue reading till the end while picking all such values and filling the ParsedData sheet A2, A3, A4 ... cells till the end.

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.
