Pulling Value From A String?
Apr 10, 2014
I created a macro that opens a page as an excel sheet, grabs data from it, and inserts it into a cell.
My problem is that one of the cells has an abundance of data that I don't need.
The data that it puts into the cell looks like this: 0849940222,* Bill Myers ,* Thomas Nelson,*1997-10-02 The only thing I need is the first name that shows up.
The number at the beginning is always the same length, so I thought about using a trim function for that, but since names are not always the same length, how to do the other end. Maybe get the value for commas and delete everything before the first and after the second...I also don't know how to do that in VBA.

I have random comments in a column of cells of which I'm searching for a specific string of characters that may be contained in each cell. I want to pull 2 pieces of data from this specific string and place the data in 2 other cells in the same row.
Sample comments in cell 'N1':
..... blah, Appt: Friday; 12/4; night drop off. blah, blah....
Sample comments in cell 'N2' (and so on and so on):
.....blah, blah, Appt: Thurs; 12/3; 12:30PM. blah, ....
The specific string in the above examples will always begin with:
APPT:
Then the key elements found directly after the 'APPT:' are:
Thurs; 12/3; 12:30PM.
(which are the)
DAY; DATE; TIME.
These elements will be always separated by the semi-colon ';' and the string will always end with the period '.'
I need a pair of formulas to be in col 'J' & 'K' to extract the DATE and place it in column 'J' and the TIME and place in column 'K', both in each same rows.
So, from the 2 above samples I would need the following:
in Cells:
J1 - 12/4 ....... K1 - night drop off
J2 - 12/3 ....... K2 - 12:30PM
I've been trying to come up with a formula using a combination of FIND() & MID(),

I have a list of names in a single cell. They are all seperated by a comma, then a space. Example would be: John Smith, Steve Wilson, Wallace O Malley, etc. What formula could I use to pull out the names individually, starting from the farthest right?

I have a udf that returns a string to the cell. The string is made up of multiple string "objects". What I am wondering is if I can set the font color of certain objects so that when the final string is built and returned, the font of those portions is set.
Ex. of simple idea (this is not actually my code, just a way to illustrate. I realize there is no point to this UDF):
VB:
Function StringReturn (Str1 As String, Str2 As String, Str3 As String) As String
StringReturn = Str1 & Str2 & Str3
End Function
Now what if I wanted Str1 and Str3 to be blue, and Str2 to be red for example. So that when the UDF calculates it would return: Str1Str2Str3

I have a table I wish to pull information from. Here is an example table:
"Start at".."Less than"..0..1..2..3
80............85...............5..4..3..2
85............90...............6..5..4..3
90............95...............7..6..5..4
This example is A1 to F4. There are two inputs; A10 and A11, and one output (formula) on A12. A10 will be the column I choose, and A11 is the row I choose...but it's chosen if the number is >= column A and < column B.
Example: I input A10 as 2, and A11 as 87, A12 will output 4. If I input A10 as 0, A11 as 85, A12 will output 6.
I kind of understand how to use VLOOKUP for this, but I am unable to check column A and B to choose the row.

i want it to change the Header in E1 to the name of that price level and have the prices change according to that price level. The price level prices are currently being pulled from another tab through vlookups which lookups up the part numbers. My method only works with 1 price level right now and have no clue how to approach it with more then one price level. Also these part numbers will change positions and locations and are not permanent hence why i thought to use a vlookup.
Is there a way macro wise ( preferably through a formula ) that i can have Column E prices change according to the Price Level Entered.

Wondering if it is possible to generate a random 4 digit number based off an alphanumeric string?
Example;
Cell A1 has 123XVF1234
Cell A2 has 321AFW4321
In B1 I would like to have a 4-6 digit number that is generated based on the alphanumeric data in Cell A1 (and so on down the list). If that is possible, I would also need to be able to convert back the 4-6 digit number back to its original alphanumeric value
Example;
If B1 returns 643562 it would need to be able to be converted back to 123XVF1234

In sheet1 I have a simple database consisting of 5 columns of data
Column A : Name ie James Jones
Column B : payroll number ie 123456
Column C : shift times ie 1245-2124
Column D : job title ie floor
Column E : comments ie A/L or 0600-1500
what I would like is some code that will go down Column E and if a 'time string' ie 1300-2130 is found then copy this string and paste into corresponding value in column C. If a text string is found ie A/L or Sick or anything like this then ignore and move onto next cell, loop this until all cells in column E have been checked.

I'm copying and pasting data from a PDF and need to eliminate some unnecessary data. The original .pdf has 4 columns: Account, Dollar Amount, Name, Notes
When I copy this to an excel document, it copies the row from all 4 columns into column A. The two columns I need are Account and Dollar Amount. All account numbers are 8 digits so I was able to create a formula to weed that out with this: =left(A1,8)
The problem I'm running into is obtaining the dollar amount within the cell. For example:
A1 contains: 11112222 $1234.56 Sample, Name Sample Note
I pull the 11112222 with =left(A1,8) in column B but not sure how to pull dollar amount to column C.
Further, the dollar amount varies from $1.01 to $10,000+

In the little chart on the left, I have the customer name, when their story is due, and when it was completed. On the right, I want to show how many words per hour my journalist is averaging for each week. What I'd like to do in cells J2 through J5 is to have a formula that pulls out the total number of words written for all projects that occurred during that time frame. I can't seem to figure out the formula, though. I was thinking that I needed an array formula starting with ifferror and calling from the row functions, but I can't seem to get it to work out right.
Here's my sample sheet: sample data journalists.xlsx

I am pulling a date from a cell to another and I need to create a formula based off of the result.
This is the formula I am using to pull the date over
=MID(AA3,FIND("/",AA3)-2,10)
This is what I need to do to the result
=WORKDAY(M3,6)
I believe =INDIRECT should be used, but I'm having difficulty making it work.

i have this spreadsheet that has 2 tabs titled "master" and "unique". "master" has a list of ingredients (8 each), a number associated with it and a store number associated with it. for example (basil-136-r5). now, each store number has a different number associated to the ingredient. for example (basil-136-r5, basil-235-r6). on the "unique" tab/spreadsheet, im supposed to create a formula that calculates the number of times (ex: basil) is used and what number is associated with it to the store number. here is a pic:

There is probably a simple solution to my problem that I am just not seeing because I cannot believe I'm the only one trying to pull out the number of hours after summing a column of times when the total exceeds 24 hrs. I have attached a sample spreadsheet which has columns for start time, end time and time used (ie end - start time) Originally when I totalled the column of time used, I got 20:27 hrs instead of the correct 44:27 hrs. After doing some research I found out that I had to create a custom format of [h]:mm to get it show beyond 24 hrs. However, now that I can see the 44 hrs and 27 min as 44:27, I cannot seem to pull out the 44 hrs to use it in a calculation of multiplying total time against a charging rate ($/hr) to get a total cost in $. The sum using [h]:mm is in cell F68 and I was hoping to convert this [h]:mm into a number of hrs as a decimal (ie 44:27 to 44.45 hr) by =((HOUR(F68)+MINUTE(F68)/60)) but I get back to the 20 hrs of a h:mm format.
I was originally surprised that I couldn't sum a column of times and get the total time without creating a special format. But I am really surprised that it isn't intuitive to pull out the correct number of hours when it exceeds 24 hrs. I am sure that it's simple because it seems something that a lot of people would have going on in accounting type of spreadsheets. I am going to be doing a lot of summing times coming up and would appreciate suggestions. This forum helped me once before and I hope for the same results!

I have a worksheet that lists all employees (past and present) (Worksheet A). I have another worksheet that I am sent from our training department that lists monthly test scores (Worksheet B). The worksheet containing the test scores only contains current employees, and the employee list changes from month to month.
Is there any way to have Worksheet A match up employee John Q. Public with the row for John Q. Public's in Worksheet B? I would like to be able to import the test scores automatically regardless of which row the employee in on in Worksheet B.

I have created my main spreadsheet in a form format - one form per student in a row downwards (30 students) and then a row for each of 4 terms.
On a separate sheet I want to pull particular entries. I have done this for Term 1 and can continue and do Terms 2 - 4. However, I have to wonder if there is not an easier way. If not, then I'm good to continue - just takes a couple of hours to create the second sheet section for each term.

I have a VBA code that pulls a value from a single cell on a separate tab. Instead of just pulling the value (ex. 3.44589348) is there a way to have it pull the value as a link to the other tab? It still would display the number but if you click on the cell it would display =Sheet2!A1 (for example).

Hi folks, I got great help just now on the first part of this project and am hoping to get lucky again. I attached a workbook. This is traffic count data. I need help pulling information from spreadsheet named HourTotals.
The data is in cells H2:AE366, it is 24 hours wide by 360 days long. I need to search that range for the highest number and in addition to the number get the corresponding date from the date_ column and the hour from the corresponding hr_X column and paste that information into another spreadsheet and repeat that process for say 500 values.

My goal is to create a pair of validation lists. The first will allow you to select what craft you are using (i.e. Alchemy). That will bring up the second list which will allow you select what recipe you are using (i.e. Black Ink). From here, I want the spreadsheet to automatically fill out what ingredients are in the recipe, the skill levels needed to complete the recipe at 100% success, and what the yield is each time successfully complete the craft.
The first part is easy, using the INDIRECT function to pull up a second list from the first. I have no idea how to make the other cells fill out, or even how to structure the data to make it accessible.

I have searched extensively for an answer to this but can't find anything.
I am pulling data off the web and it puts data down the column in the following manner:
Data
Number
Number
Data2
Number
Number
I need to extract each set of Data to another worksheet. The problem is that it will be anywhere from 1 row each to 10 rows each. In each instance, there is a blank between the two sets of Data. I've looked at ISBLANK, LOOKUP, SEARCH, etc. but nothing I've tried has worked out.

Is there a way to pull out numbers from a cell that has letters mixed in with it. I tryed using Right() and Left() with the LEN() function but sometimes I might have (examples: "TP3470" or "9310-AV") and all I want to get is ("3470" and "9310") I also may have (4500SSML). I cannot find anything anywhere on pulling out just numbers or text. Maybe a custom format?
