Count Number Of Certain Letters In Given Cell

Mar 1, 2013

I am trying to count the number of certain letters in a given cell. I figured out the formula when there is not a repeat of a targeted letter. For example, if multiple C's appear in cell A1 I will only get a value of 1 and not the exact number.

Here is my formula.

=COUNTIF(F12:Q12, "*C*")+COUNTIF(F12:Q12, "*P*")+COUNTIF(F12:Q12, "*E*")+COUNTIF(F12:Q12, "*L*")+COUNTIF(F12:Q12, "*O*")

Force LEFT Function To Recognize A Number?

Jul 29, 2009

Basically I have a phone number in column A:

123-456-1234

In column B, I want it to show me the first 3 numbers from the left, (so 123)

So I do =LEFT(A2,3)

Which gives me 123, but it's displayed as text, which ruins my whole formula that looks up the area code and displays the state.

I googled the problem and found http://exceltip.com/st/Make_LEFT_Fun...umber/778.html

which tells me to do:
=IF(LEFT(A1,1)=1,"Ignore",A1) [sees 1 as a number]
=IF(LEFT(A1,1)+0=1,"Ignore",A1) [sees 1 as a number]
=IF(LEFT(A1,1)="1","Ignore",A1) [sees 1 as text]

but when i try that it just displays the ENTIRE phone number: 123-456-1234

Macro Recognize A Number And Then Preform Two Tasks

Aug 24, 2009

Over the weekend I had to look at 220 strings of numbers, some strings with as much as 20 numbers and determine if the numbers represented red, green, blue, or yellow and how many of each color from a parent list.

I did it all by hand. After getting help here from JBeaucaire on my tally sheet, which I successfully recreated with their guidance, I thought I might ask this question. How would one go about creating a macro that would when it seen a certain number, it would put the color in the column immediately to the left, and the number of colors in the column immediately to the left.

Recognize Conversion (word To Number) And Multiplication Factors?

May 20, 2009

I'm trying to make a table of the total amount of a liquid used throughout the day. Here is what I am trying to do: In cell D4, I want to be able to enter something similar to the following: 3cup+2bottle+1liter

and by doing so, Excel can automatically recognize that 1cup is 8oz, 1bottle is 17oz, and 1liter is 34 oz because of the reference chart provided on the side. Also, it would be able to notice the 3, 2, and 1 amounts so it would multiply accordingly so it would know to do this: (3*8)+(2*17)+(1*34)

and then put the calculated amount in the cell. The correct answer should be 92oz. Is there a way for Excel to recognize the conversions (i.e. whenever it sees 'cup' it will multiply by 8) and multiplication factors (i.e. 3, 2, 1)?Is there a formula I can enter that I can just "drag" down to the upcoming days in column D?

I know I can just do something like this: (3*G4)+(2*G5)+(1*G6).

Using Letters In An Auto Number

Apr 16, 2006

I have a database to which I am connecting a form, I need to have a unique ID for each record and due to the number of tables need to include letters in my numbering (ex. U00001, for Users; B00001, for Books; and V00001, for videos.) I have adjusted a very helpful macro I recieved from Roy Cox and am currently trying this code on the "user form":

Count_Row = 1
DATABASE_RECORDS = Sheets("Users"). Range("B1:B10000")

'To identify the next blank row in the database sheet
For Each DBRECORD In DATABASE_RECORDS

If DBRECORD <> "" Then Count_Row = Count_Row + 1
RowNum = Count_Row
X = RowNum - 1
Sheets("Users").Range("A1" & RowNum) = "U000" & X
Next DBRECORD

This is supposed to find the fill the "A" (ID) column after the "B" Column has been filled. Currently It is placing U0001 in cell A12 when all that is in the sheet is headers.

Matching Set Pattern Of Letters And Number

Dec 12, 2013

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.

Convert X Digit Number To Letters

May 11, 2008

Nice to meet you all. I'd be grateful for any help I could get on this as I have tried it and I'm a bit stumped...

What I need to do is the following:

Convert a 4 digit number (e.g. 1234) in a single cell to a 4 letter string (e.g BCDE) and have the output appear in another cell.

The conversion should be as follows:

0=A
1=B
2=C
3=D
4=E
5=F
6=G
7=H
8=I
9=J
0=K

So, for example, 3678 in one cell should be converted to DGHI in the target cell.

Creating Complicated Formula With Letters And Number

Apr 8, 2014

I have been trying to create a formula that will save me DAYS of messing around at work.

What I am trying to achieve is to have a sequence of numbers as follows:

BNA01A01 to BNA01A09 then have it change to BNA01B01 to BNA01B09.

This needs to be repeated for all letters to BNA01I09.

Then this sequence needs to be repeated to BNA12.

The last thing is for me to be able to change the formula in order to implement the same sequence on a separate sheet for BNB01A01 - BNB12I09 to BNL01A01 - BNL12I09

How To Make Excel Recognize Cell Range Larger Than 32,767

Apr 20, 2009

I am trying to use the codes below to find text "xmxy" and "xmx" within a column, then try to move the cells between the texts to the right by one column. I believe that the problem for the code below is that

Cells(j, "B").Insert (xlShiftToRight)
or If Cells(i, "B").Value = "xmxy" Then has limitations. I read that when you dim a variale as integer, it only can contain value between -32,768 to 32,767 . But I have more than 32,767 rows of data. I have already set dim i,j, etc. as long, but how do you set the cells range to recognize number larger than 32,767?

Sub ShiftRightbbb()
Dim i As Long, j As Long, lastrow As Long, rowscount As Long, count As Long
lastrow = Range("b" & 65000).End(xlUp).Row
For i = 1 To lastrow
If Cells(i, "B").Value = "xmxy" Then
For j = i To lastrow
Cells(j, "B").Insert (xlShiftToRight)
If Cells(j, "C").Value = "xmx" Then GoTo Nextgroup
Next j
Nextgroup:
End If
Next i
End Sub

Filter Out Letters Put In After A Number In A Time Card Spreadsheet

Jan 14, 2009

I have the need to filter out letters put in after a number in a time card spreadsheet. I'm not sure that using a select case is the right approach. I need to allow the user to put in a number and a letter signifying what type of time it is. Each cell equals a date on a calendar. For example if the user puts in 8s then the code will add 8 hours to the total sick time, strip out the s and just leave 8 in the cell. The problem is that I need to deal with all of the other letters/symbols that they can enter. From what I know of VBA which isn't much a Select Case seems to be way to go without using a bunch of nested If statements. Here is what I would like to do but this doesn't work. This is a short example of what I have tried as far as Select Case goes.

Change Cell To Any Month And Recognize If Any Cell In Row

Feb 14, 2010

Scenario:
Column A = Row Description
Column B = Control value
Columns C-V = Time in Months

Row 1 = Months
Row 2 = Initial Values to find if >0

Cell B4 = Assumption of 18 months
Cell B6 = Value of 250 to insert if TRUE

In Cell C2 (January) I have a value that is 12
For example purposes I have an If formula in T3 (which is 18 months in the future. The formula is: =IF(C$2>0, $B$6,0). The result should be 250.

What I am looking for is a formula that will allow me to change Cell B4 to any month I want and still recognize if any cell in Row 2 is >0 then 250 (B6). All of row 3 should be filled with the same formula.

Options:
This could be a match if >0 then edate to column that has value >0, at 18 (B4) periods out.

Excel 2010 :: Unable To Recognize Cell That Contain Colon Correctly

Oct 4, 2011

i have encountered a problem which happens when you write data that contain : in an excel sheet (i use excel 2010)

for instance if i enter to one of the cell 45:58 excel sees it as 01/01/1900 21:48:00 when i try to get the information by using a function i will get the wrong data for example typing in the different cell LEFT(Cell,5) will result 1.908

(i receiving the data from an outside source in this way and i need to make analysis)

i have noticed that the first 2 digits (21 in the example) are related to the number i have choosen in a 24 hour cycle for instance

24:58 will result 01/01/1900 00:58:00
26:58 will result 01/01/1900 02:58:00
48:58 will result 02/01/1900 00:58:00
