I am a beginner to VBA and Macros, and I have a fairly complicated macro that I am pressed to make.
I am working with alphanumeric data that is unorganized. Here is an example of what it looks like: ...
I need to have a string comparison done in a macro,
I have a files with names similar to "TEVT_GURUPRASAD_WEEK08" and a array of strings having names "Guruprasad,AnilKumar,....etc." I Need to match the name in the array and the name in the filename.
I am new in extracting data from excel .
There is a report that contains a various amount data, in one cell it describes the outcome in a summary format of how an issue was resolved.
Is it possible to search a cell of summary text that contains a set pattern with letters & numbers i.e."CL900962" then either place a "YES" or "NO" in another cell if found?
The pattern will always begin with letters "CL" followed by 6 digit number.
Using the Find Function in VBA with pattern matching, I want to find the End statements in my code. How do I stop it finding the End If statements, of which there are hundreds maybe thousands. I tried End[ ][ ][ ] and End[!I] etc but they exclude the End statements as well.

How can I find the appropriate matching pattern and fetch and fill data from the adjacent column from my source table to destination? I tried the string functions available and used SEARCH function to match the pattern and check whether it is available. However, when the pattern is found, how can I fetch the adjacent column ?
My attempt to code a formula using SUBSTITUTE, MID and SEARCH functions. Below is the monster formula I wrote - it works and returns 1 when the pattern is found.
Formula:
I need to return the matching pattern that is found. And with it the corresponding adjacent cell's value.

Pre-requisite: I would consider myself to be very poor with excel, based on what I've read on this forum and found on my web-searches. I have a worksheet that has a list of data on the left going vertically, then a summary of this data going horizontally across the top. It is not arranged in such a way that transposing the data will do what I want. I am pulling the 5th word out of the title of each block of the vertical data and need to show this word on the horizontal section.
When I use this formula to pull the 5th word: =MID(MID(MID(SUBSTITUTE(A2," ","^",4),1,256), FIND("^",SUBSTITUTE(A2," ","^",4)),256),2,FIND(" ",MID(MID(SUBSTITUTE(A2," ","^",4),1,256),FIND("^",SUBSTITUTE(A2," ","^",4)),256))-2)
I need to increase A2 to A30, then A58 (up by 28 every time) in every instance in that formula. The fill handle increases the values by 1, instead of 28 (even if I do 3 or 4 instances manually) How do I do this? I've run into this problem in other scenarios, and there HAS to be a way to get around it.
I would like to count the number of cells that contain a word. My table looks as follows:
BDL1,500BDL3,135BDL2,1004.31,400254,6001.41144
In Column 1 (left column) I have 3 cells that contain the alphanumeric value "BDL". This would yield a non-numeric count of "3". Column 2 would yield a count of "0". I hope I'm being clear. Anyone hav an idea?
I have a spreadsheet,section attached.
In column a is the distance in miles and furlongs and yards..sometimes there is only miles..sometimes only miles and furlongs,,sometimes only miles and yards..
I need a formula i can fill down in column b to convert to furlongs in decimal format
e.g. 2miles 3 furlongs and 20 yards converts to 19.09 furlongs..
there are 8 furlongs in a mile and 220 yards in a furlong...
I have many strings of arbitrarily length. Each string always
has one number (0-9) component and one alpha-character (A-Z) component.
The order of the components in the string is entirely random.
Sometimes numbers come first and sometimes letters/characters.
Also, the length of each separate component is also varies and
there is no fixed rule to how long it will be each time.
Examples are:
String: RGH45 Alpha: RGH Num: 45
String: 4589THF Alpha:THF Num: 4589
String: FGGFFF56464645464 Alpha:FGGFFF Num: 56464645464
String: sdgdfgdfg874645 Alpha:sdgdfgdfg Num: 874645
String: 54sfsdfdsf Alpha:sfsdfdsf Num: 54
String: s54654646 Alpha:s Num: 54654646
etc..
I want to have two strings. One called Alpha and One called Num
I want to have the alpha-character component to be extracted from the string
and set to Alpha and the numerical component to be extracted & set to Num.
How/what is the Excel Macro VB code to accomplish this from within the macro?
I am try to convert a letternumber (both single) to a number, ie 3b to 5, 7a to 17 etc. I am using a vlookup formula at the moment, =VLOOKUP(J3,'Test levels'!$R$4:$S$54,2) but if J3 is 4b it finds 3b and puts in that reference.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to find a way to have excel 2003 format the data I put in a cell to auto insert dashes every five characters. I'm entering product keys for the software we have on hand, and it would be a little quicker if I could simply have excel auto format the data entered in to include dashes every five characters.
Example:
- I would enter: D5ATT3D28F6F44536489413E2 (This is a fake, non-working product key, I just typed in random numbers a letters.)
-Excel would format it like: D5ATT-3D28F-6F445-36489-413E2
I want to take a lot of text fields with alphanumeric characters ie. " '49560-960-A908 "
(always beginning with the character " ' ") and display in another cell position 2 thur 6 ie. "49560"
I have a file that contains 3,500 cells with alphanumeric characters...always beginning with ' but I need the 1st 5 numbers after the ' in a second separate column
I was recently issued an alphanumeric range that I would like excel to manage for me. The alphanumeric numbers contain 5 characters. The basic pattern starts zero to nine, then A-Z, then 10. For example, A0500 through A0509, A050A-A050Z, A0510-9, A051A-A051Z, A0520-A0529, etc.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have found a very useful UDF for removing non-alpha characters from strings. (See below, Credit for posting to Stanley D Grom - Ozgrid post ´Removing Non-alpha Characters From Text´).
Option Explicit
Private Function RemoveCharacters(InString As String) As String
Dim intLoopCounter As Integer
Dim intStringLength As Integer
Dim intASCIIVal As Integer
intStringLength = Len(InString)
InString = LCase(InString)
For intLoopCounter = 1 To intStringLength
intASCIIVal = Asc(Mid(InString, intLoopCounter, 1))
If intASCIIVal >= 97 And intASCIIVal <= 122 Then
RemoveCharacters = RemoveCharacters + Mid(InString, intLoopCounter, 1)
End If
Next intLoopCounter
End Function
Two requests:
1. Could the UDF be modified such that any part of a string contained within brackets is also removed (e.g. "NLGA High Street (West-Enfield), EN6" becomes "nlgahighstreeten")?
2. Can an argument be added to the format of the UDF, such that numbers (0 to 9) are either included or excluded (e.g. RemoveCharacters(A1,1) where the argument ´1´ would include any numbers (0 to 9), so "NLGA2003 High Street (West-Enfield), EN6" becomes "nlga2003highstreeten6")? ´blank´or ´0´would exclude these numbers, i.e. would return "nlgahighstreeten"
I am trying to enter this formula in cell B2 and i just wanted to know if there was a better and quicker way to do this. I need to do this all the way to BP however my list can extend however the pattern will stay the same.
Ws.range("B2").value=
F & LROW * D1 +
K & LROW * D6 +
P & LROW * D11 +
U & LROW * D16 +
Z & LROW * D21 +
AE & LROW * D26 +

My task is to combine two large databases into one spreadsheet by extending the number of columns. The data from each database is 90% matching based on an identification number, however occasionally there are additional rows or unmatched identification numbers that need to be kept for analysis.
When this happens, there needs to be a blank row inserted to represent the missing data in the rest of the corresponding row.
I am having trouble finding a quick way to do this because I have approximately 12,000 rows (and columns up to DV when combined).
for example:
p1
data
data
data
data
p2
data
data
data
data
[Code] .....
needs to become:
p1
data
data
data
data
[Code] .....
I am guessing I will need a macro of sorts, So far I have made one column that tell me if the ID's are matching or not (1 or 0) and if they are not matching (0) I manually insert the rest of the row that is missing or make space for the duplicate data (which needs to remain).
The spreadsheet I'm working on is kinda hard to describe, but I'll try.
It's a finance calculator of sorts that I need done, and it shows me the total cost of various products. Each of these products require different components, and numbers of components, and also these components all cost different prices. So what I have is the following spreadsheet setup:
I'm trying to extract specific character from a set of text strings which have irregular patterns. For example:
CJWHCon.D005 - JN Holding Inc Corporate
CUSViWind.D404 - Windows Ringtown Vinyl
My goal is to get only the 'DXXX' which sometimes might be only 'DXX'. I've tried using the following formula but I seem to be going wrong somewhere as I only get 'D'.
=MID(F10,FIND(".",F10)+1,FIND(" ",F10,FIND(" ",F10)+1)-1-FIND(" ",F10))
I'm trying to repeat a pattern which outputs 4 equal numbers and then increments that number by 1 for another four row as follows
1
1
1
1
2
2
2
2
and so on
how to do this?
Need a macro that will autofill in an email pattern from a customer list i recieve. So far i have been having to manually do it.. but when have documents over 3k entries.. ouch.
This is what i got.. hope the way i type it in makes sense
A ..........................B ..........................C
First name........Last Name ............Email Pattern
John ..................Smith ...............First name initial, last name@abc.com
John ..................Smith ...............First name initial, dot, last name@abc.com
John ..................Smith ...............First name, dot, last name@abc.com
John ..................Smith ...............First name, initial of last name@abc.com
Is there a macro i can make that will automatically fill in the email based on the criterea found in column C before the @ symbol? then take the required info from Column a and b?
I am trying to come up with a formula that will distribute the numbers as shown in this diagram:
To get the value of each number divide 42,000 by the last number in the pattern. For example the fifth column from the left would be 42,000/18. That means that each number would have a value of 2,333.33. By the time you reach the half way mark, nine in that example, you should have around 21,000, and the other 21,000 should be distributed between the last half (block 10 thru 18). The formulas would have to work on all of the patterns. Can anyone think of a way to match the pattern shown? It doesn't have to be exactly the same pattern just as long as the number of blocks remains the same for each half, and they total 21,000 for each half without going over 42,000 all together. There has to be 11 rows from top to bottom.
Is it possible to change the borders/pattern of a single cell so that it looks like the image in the attached document? This may seem a strange thing to want to do, but there is a good reason! Merged cells will not suit my purpose. The pattern palette allows a cell to be filled with horizontal lines, but I need there to be just two lines (i.e. dividing a single cell into three boxes).
View 2 Replies View RelatedI made a code that automatically checks the date and then compares it to the date of the last save. If it is a new date then the colors of the tabs will randomize. It can also be done manually via a button. The problem is that I have now realized that the colors are always have the same pattern. Every day the first color is an orange color, no matter how many times I randomized yesterday...and so on. Is there a way to make the randomness not have a repeating pattern?

'Does nothing if the date is the same

I'm trying to write 'user-defined' function in Excel, that doing following:
Getting two arguments: cell and 'like' pattern (_ _ , *, e.t.c).
As a result returns data that match this pattern.
For example:
1. Cell = "golf car is really comfort", pattern = "_ _ _ _" will return "golf"
2. Cell = "toyota is number one", pattern = " num*" will return "number one"
programming 2 macros in a bank reconciliation sheet I am trying to create.
Basically the data consists of two sets: the ledger side and bank side. Both sides consists of multiple columns that include date, description and amount.
The following two situations can occur and which need to be covered with a macro.
Many to one matching
When we make payments to say 100 different suppliers at once, the ledger side will show 100 lines with the different amounts. However on the bank side it will only show one line with a total amount for the transaction. As the description on the ledger side is the same for all transactions done at the same time, it should be possible to have a macro add these lines and compare the total with entries on the bank side. Once a matching amount has been found, the macro should place an ‘x’ next to all entries on the ledger and bank side, in order to show that these transactions have been reconciled.
Partial cell matching
In this case we are only dealing with one line on both the ledger and bank side. The issue is that the description does not always perfectly match with one another. The ledger side might say ‘Brown Corp.’ and the bank side might say ‘Brown Corporation’. I want to come up with a macro that can recognize this partial match and still reconcile the lines by placing a ‘x’ to both the ledger and bank entry. The match however should be done with a combination of description, date and amount as several different bookings might be done for the same supplier in the same month.
I am comparing two years' data, one on top of the other (Rows 1 and 2). For each cell in each row, I am referencing a cell from a different tab. This needs to be done with about 290 data items, so 580 rows.
When I attempt to copy the two rows down, it doesn't go in the correct order (skips a cell reference number). It looks like this:
Excel Forum Q.xlsx
It would save me a lot of time considering each of the 580 rows has about 30 different column with each cell referencing various things.
Create a workpattern using something similiar to the Networkdays function. I want to be able to calculate how many working days are between 2 dates if the employee works a non standard Monday to Friday Week. For Example if someone works ever Mon, Tues, Wed how many working days are there for them in June.
I need to perform data mining from a CSV file,and use correlation function to analyse and generate a pattern from the provide data (CSV) for a particular set of error for a given time sample.
Find the CSV file which contains the data which needs to be analysed and generate a pattern.

I have a formula such as below..
=SUMIF('MBX TO DBS'!$G$1:$G$818,"*livedb01*")
This will sum the values in G1-G818 that contain livedb01 on the "MBX TO DBS" sheet, however this is not exactly what I want.. I want the SUM function to look for the livedb01 string in G1-G818 and SUM the values in D1-D818.
So instead it would look for livedb01 text in G column and take the value from D and SUM those once the text qualifier was found in G column..
Is this possible with Excel?
