Append All Digits Before Character To All Numbers Between The Same Character

May 18, 2008

I have got a list of numeric abbreviations, for instance 10739011/21/31/41. What it should really display are the numbers 10739011, 10739021, 10739031 and 10739041 (the first six figures stay the same). All the numbers in my list are 8 figures long. I want to change the list from the list seperated by the backward slash to the complete numbers. I have uploaded an example of the list with backward slash between the numbers. Is there a way that Excel can automatically change these numbers to the full numbers?

Because all the numbers are 8 figures long, I thought the first 6 figures of the 1st number can be copied and those 6 figures pasted before the other two figures after the backslash. Auto Merged Post Until 24 Hrs Passes;sorry, pressed OK too quickly. The problem is that there are sometimes 4 numbers in the cell, sometimes 6 and once three. I would like Excel to complete all the numbers in the cell and then move on to the cell underneath it and so on. Also, I would like each number to have it's own cell.

My formulaic solution is thus: .....

Specify Position Of New Sheet

Feb 23, 2007

I've written code that involves adding a number of new sheets to a workbook. I want to specify that each new sheet is positioned to the right hand side of all other sheets in the book, so that the sheets are positioned in the order (when reading from left to right) that they are added.

I know about the Copy After:= thing but I only know how to specify copying after a particular sheet name. I could solve my problem by each time referencing the sheetname from the previously-created sheet, but I think there must be a way to it properly.

How To Check Particular Position In A Cell

Oct 9, 2013

have an assignment to complete and one of the tasks I found impossible to complete. First condition is that it should be completed with a formula (not VBA). So here is the task - I have different cells with IBAN codes in them. The 14th position in the IBAN is used to identify the currency of the account. There are 3 possible numbers - 0, 1 and 2 and each is for different currency. So I have this table where I need to lookup the 14th character in the cell with the IBAN, from there the formula needs not only to check what the number is (0,1 or 2) but also to compare it to another table from where to decide which is the currency. I tried various combinations with FIND/SEARCH but can't find a way to do it.. and I can't find other functions/formulas that can isolate a particular character position in a cell..

I noticed that when you drag a custom toolbar to the far right of your screen - it locks in to a vertical toolbar space.

How can i position my toolbar in this place automatically by modifying the above code.
