View 9 Replies View RelatedI've read a lot of tutorials on how to use pivot tables, but found them either too basic, or too advanced, and never finding any example of what I am looking to do.
I have a database, column A holds names, and column B their phone numbers. I'd like to generate a list of unique names and their associated telephone numbers. I figure I can use a pivot table to do this.
But I do not quite understand how to format the pivot table to put the name in one column and the phone number in the next. I will use this pivot table as a vlookup range. I assume I can do this.
I have a workbook that calculates a RAND function based on input in another cell. Specifically, the formula in E2 selects a random text string from another range depending on data entered in D2. I want to be able to fill this formula down for use multiple times.
The formula works fine on its own, but the problem comes when I, say, move on to D3 to input more data. E3 does its random calculation as it should, but E2 also recalculates; I want E2 to remain static once it calculates the first time.
I'm attaching the workbook in question. The calculation I'm referring to is in the 3rd worksheet.

Is there a way to control the number generation. I would like to be able to run different scenarios with the same set of random numbers, then regenerate the random numbers and do it again. Right now every time I do anything in the spreadsheet, I get a new set of numbers.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI am using VBA to enter customer information into a Microsoft SQL database. I have an excel sheet with thousands of customers listed. I will be using a While loop to process each line of the sheet. Part of the While loop needs to make any format changes necessary before the data moves over to the DB. So here is the issue:
How do I turn the following phone numbers:
(410) 273-9200
910-944-1232
276 623 4254
410 612 1100 Rob
(413) 786-1636 Cindy
1-800-783-4661
304) 842-5491 Sherry
Into a uniform layout? I would prefer ###-###-####
Each of the numbers above is an example from the list I have. There may be more variations (I have over 20 seperate lists to process, with over 10000 customers per list)
I imagine I need some process that will remove all character except numbers and then break the numbers up to add the hyphens back in at the appropriate places.
I have a bunch of phone numbers that I'm trying to reformat.
Say I wanted to replace any phone number like this: 1##########
With this: ##########
Keeping the numbers intact, just getting rid of the 1 in front of them. Can't figure it out for the life of me.
Just got an answer to my phone number problem of converting two columns of numbers
to a single columns with the form XXX-XXXXXXX. Used =A1 & "-" & B1.
Works perfectly one one spread sheet and not at all in another.
When I enter the formula and hit return, instead of the correct result, all I get is the formula.
The format of the columns is the same on both spread sheets.
Formatting existing phone number. I want to remove first 2 digit from the column with 11 digit phone number ?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI came up with this formula trying to fix phone number but it’s not working properly
FORMULA:
=TEXT(LEFT(SUBSTITUTE(a1, "-", "") & "00##", 10), "###-###-00##")
So basically I need a formula or macro that will fix the phone number for me.
Here is an example
78512312 it should be like this 785-123-0012
Or
785123123 it should be like this 785-123-0123. So if Len is 8 numbers long then insert two zeros counting from right to left. So if Len is 9 numbers long then insert one zeros counting from right to left.
I have thousands of phone numbers that hundreds of them are look like this:
123456-8 that means : 123456,123457,123458 or this
123456-57 that means : 123456,123457
There are not any standard of numbers after dash (-) in my data.
how can I expand them to new "rows"?
bob 123456-8 ->
bob 123456
bob 123457
bob 123458
I'm trying to simplified these numbers so each one only consists 8 numbers from the right w/out the blank space or +,-.

I have a list of mobile phone numbers from various countries. However, I do not know which country each entry is from. Ideally I would like to have a macro that looks at each number, compares to a global list of PSTN structure to determine which part of the phone number is the country code (generally the first 1-3 digits), and then put the country in a separate column.
I am certain all numbers are formatted correctly, so it is only a matter of finding out which part is the country code and putting a value for the country.

I have a list of more than 4,000 of my customers. I want to ad in phone numbers automatically. I currently have the first and last name in one column. The address, city, state and zip are all each in their own column.
I have never use vlookup before, nor have I ever used excel other than for data entry. What is the easiest and most efficient way to do this?
I searched this site and seen vlookup mentioned for this type of automatic data entry. There may be another way or method I am not aware of.
I am looking for a formula to count the number of valid mobile phone numbers in a list and the number of valid email address in another list, 2 different formulas.
The mobile phone number formula would count the number of indervidual mobile phone numbers in a list that contain 077 and 078 and 079.
The email formula would count the number of indervidual email addresses in a list that contain ...........@..........dot com or .............@............dot co dot uk
Both lists may contain random junk text, like in the email list some one may have entered words like 'no email address' etc.
I have several text boxes on a 'picture' which is the format for a business review. The text boxes are linked to cells behind the picture which picks up company names, cities etc...
Two of the boxes have a phone# and date
The linked cells are formatted correctly but obviously the text boxes, pick up the 'values' not the formats.
is there any way for the textboxes to show the values with the proper format i.e.,
xxx-xxx-xxxx
mmm yyyy
I have to take a range of phone numbers that I have to port from another carrier and manually type them out or copy into another speadsheet, removing duplicate numbers. For example, I have the following numbers:
55532821055553282108
78132821235553282123
55532821625553282163
The results on the next spreadsheet need to be:
5553282105
5553282106
5553282107
5553282108
7813282123
5553282162
5553282163
I am looking for a way to automate this process.
Is there any script that I generate 6 numbers of these numbers from the list? so they do not recur after another example 7,12,13,19,26,33
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have the following worksheet, which lists the pickup groups and members of each group from a phone system. Another worksheet lists all the exts and I want to have some sort of VLOOKUP, MATCH function that will look at the ext number and come back with the pickup group number.
I've attached a copy of the spreadsheet to show you what I'm talking about. So looking at the spreadsheet if I have an ext number of 8001 I want to return the value of 2 as ext 8001 is a member of pickup group 2. Also of an ext is not a member of any group, then I want to return nothing.

I have made a chart with the average uses per day but would like to have daily numbers that average out to what i have but in a random sequence e.g. i have that a shower uses 320 litres per day for 2 people is there a way i can make a chart that says: 300 (a1) 340(a2) 260(a3) 360(a4) etc i need to do this for 180 days with random numbers generated to average the same overall. I dont know even how to generate random numbers.
