Pull First Character From One Cell To Another
May 27, 2006
I am using an exported dbf from filemaker pro. This is an established dbf, with over 2,000 sku's in it. Here is what I want to do.
I am using Indata and InDesign to create a catalog. I need for excel to pull the first character from a cell and put it in another cell. i.e.
I have a dbf where I have author last name, and title of book. I need for excel to pull the first character of each of these fields and put them in their own cell/column. This will allow me to use these new columns to make the " headers" for my InData/InDesign doc.

What formula or function truncates a text field that is in the following consistent format:
number. name
ie. 3. Super Bella
and 150. Taoist
I wish to truncate the field so I have just the integer without the dot, space or word(s).
Tried Len, Left & Replace but they require a specific number of characters. Since the number can be 1 to 3 digits long, this doesn't work.

I have a column of numbers each have a 0. infront of them (example 0.2346

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.

I have a string of text in cell A2. In cell B2 of my spreadsheet is a formula that calculates a number based on the text string in cell A2.
I want to write a VBA loop that removes a single character from the cell A2 string, then calculate the new value in cell B2. I want this loop to continue until the value in B2 falls below a set value (in this case 60).
My code so far
Sub trim_text()
Dim mytext As String
Dim myanswer As Integer
mytext = Range("A2")
myanswer = Range("B2")
Do While myanswer > 60
mytext = (Right(mytext, Len(mytext) - 1))
Loop
End Sub
This obviously does not work. In my excel table I have a formula in cell B2 to calculate "myanswer" will this work, or does that code have to be placed into the VBA code?

I have a column with unique identifiers (numeric) that are included in another column. I need to find this number in the column and pull the data from that column into a new one. For example:
Unique Identifier: 28530
Is included in this string: 10.1.8........28530_201_10-....
I need the content from the string pulled into a new column. It seems there would be a LOOKUP that would work, but I'm not able to figure it out.

I am in need of a way to pull keywords listed in B2:B10 from text in A2:A10 and then those pulled keywords combined in cell C11.See attached document. So I have colors for keywords in column B and some random text in the column A including the keywords in parenthesis. Is there a way for a formula to find all keywords in A2:A10 and then list them in cell C11 with commas in between.So the result would be one cell C11 showing BLUE,GREEN,BLACK,ORANGE, etc.I have been trying to mess around with index and match and while I could get one to pull up I don't know how to combine it.

I have many workbooks which all have a summary sheet called summary, and which are all kept in the same folder (although this folder name/filepath may change from year to year).
I want to be able to set up the column headings and then copy the same set of summary information from each book so that it can then be used for analysis. The cells to be copies derive their value from formulae, it is the value that needs to be copied.
I attach a workbook with the format needed and the source cells. The source sheet will be password protected.
I know this is a question that has been raised before and I have searched the forum but not come across a question that is close enough to work from - my VB skills are appalling.

I want to test a cell for the type of value as 678/256 or 345/872/098/987 etc. The common character in each would be the "/". First, I need to check the cell for this, then take the first number and compare it to an integer(if it is <> , or = to). I hope I am clear with my situation.

I'm using the hidden-row trick to auto-fill cells beneath the hidden rows.
For this to work, every cell that is to be auto-filled in must have a character in every cell above it.
How can I make sure that my unfilled cells always have a character in them? If a user deletes the contents of the cell, I want a single character to stay in the cell (I want a backslash). This way, there will always be either a backslash, or the user-filled data in the cell. It can never be empty.

I have following kind of sting in the cell.
<Abc_desc><to_location>10102535</to_location><from_location>100</from_location><abc_nbr>00000000009882203100</abc_nbr><abc_type>C</abc_type><con_qty>113</con_qty><bcd_nbr>00000000009882203</bcd_nbr>
I want to extract the number between <abc_nbr> and </abc_nbr>. i.e., "00000000009882203100".
The starting number of the string may varies.
Macro should pick the number and paste it into the next cell.

I would like to take a value in a cell and remove the second and third characters in that cell.
For example: "V0010" would become "V10."
I've found formulas for removing the beginning and ending characters, but not a way to remove from the middle.

I am creating a macro that saves a file using the value in X1 as a variable name to save the file. I want to check if the last character in cell X1 is a period ("."), and if it is I want to either remove the period from X1 and continue to save, or tell the user it is not possible to save the name that ends in a period.

I want to be able to identify an Excel workbook in a cell, then have another cell pull the value from a specific cell in that workbook.
In the sample attached, I want the formula in cell C4 to pull the value in cell D35 from the workbook identified in cell C3. When I click within the brackets [C3] it asks me to choose a file name from my Explorer file list. "='[other_workbook.xlsx]Audit Information'!D35. I don't want to do that and want it to choose the file listed in cell C3.

I am trying to get excel to pull the value from a certain cell. The value is pulling correctly when I use whole numbers. But if I format that value as either a decimal or percentage it does not recognize it and only pulls over 0.
Here is the code.

I have this formula I use to pull the date and time that they place in 1 cell from a customer quote sheet. It was working well until we got to a double digit month.....
The thing is they are inconsistant in stating the dates. such as "09/03 10AM" or "9/3 10AM" or even sometimes "9/03 10AM".
Can this formula be altered to accept variables
=TEXT(LEFT(INFO!A35,4),"MM/DD/YY")

Attached is a sample workbook where in cell 'C1' I want to extract from A1 just the supplier name and leave the supplier number behind. As the string length of the supplier changes,I cant use the left function that I would normally doI racked my brains on this and I'm sure I've seen it done before cant remember where.The string length of each cell is 21 digits with padded spaces to the right of the cell. If it helps the number of spaces in between the supplier and number changes each time.
