Regular Expressions Patterns
Sep 24, 2009
Hope the title isn't too broad. Every time I think I have got to grips with RegExp I get stuck on something apparently quite simple. So, I have a few queries so I hope OK to bundle them together.
1. How do I remove the word 'of' only if it occurs after certain other words (the other words should also go). E.g.
"Vale of White Horse" should stay the same
"Borough of Lambeth" should become "Lambeth" (because 'of' after 'Borough')
I tried "Borough(sof*)" but that doesn't remove either word.
2. How do I remove everything after a '/' (inclusive)?
I have tried "/sw+" which removes the first word after '/' but there could be other words
3. How do I remove everything inside brackets (inclusive)?

I'm trying to do a COUNTIF using regular expressions. I can do it in SQL, but I'm having a hard time figuring it out in Excel.
My SQL query looks like:
[Code] ....
In Excel, I'd like to do the same thing so that I can send it to a client and have the counts already in the spreadsheet. Basically, I want count anything that has 5 numerical digits followed by "_.....".

I need to extract DIGITS from following: C23, C24, C515-C519. It may be done with regular expressions. Does anybody have experience with VBA code for RegEx?
Input: C23, C24, C515, C519.
Output: 23,24, 515, 519

I am trying to design a generator in excel that generates algebraic expressions.
For example
In cell B4 the formula is RANDBETWEEN(1,12)
In cells C4:29 I have letters a - z listed in a column one letter per cell.
In a separate cell from which excel reads is the formula:
=B4&CHOOSE((RANDBETWEEN(1,26)),$C$4,$C$5,$C$7,$C$6,$C$8,$C$9,$C$10,$C$11,$C$12,$C$13,$C$14,
$C$15,$C$16,$C$17,$C$18,$C$19,$C$20,$C$21,$C$22,$C$23,$C$24,$C$25,$C$26,$C$27,$C$28,$C$29)
For example one possible result would be 3f.
However if the result was 1m, in a separate cell I want excel to realise that B4=1 and then display it as m.
I've attached the spreadsheet as well : algebra.xlsx‎

When I open a spreadsheet I get the following message
Excel found unreadable content in Book_Name. Do you want to recover the contents of this workbook.
All the information I find says:
This issue occurs if the following conditions are true:
The workbook contains a PivotTable that uses key performance indicators (KPIs).
The KPIs are created in the Analysis Services Business Intelligence Development Studio.
One or more of the KPIs have an expression in the Current Time Member property.
and the fix is : To resolve this issue, remove the expressions from all Current Time Member properties.
My issue is - the spreadsheet with Pivot tables is supplied to me. I am using Excel 2007 - how to remove the expressions?
When I do this on another machine same version of excel I have no issue.

I have the following code for identifying the 1,3,2 patterns from sheet1 and it copy pastes those rows into sheet2. I was wondering if there is a way to modify this code to delete those patterns once it has identified them instead of pasting them into sheet2. In other word,s sheet2 needs to contain every other data except those identified patterns.
VB:
Sub test()
Dim myPtn As String, txt As String, m As Object, n As Long, LastR As Range
Dim ws1 As Worksheet, ws2 As Worksheet, myStep As Long, i As Long, t As Long
myStep = 10000 '<- change here if needed.
Set ws1 = Sheets("sheet1")
Set ws2 = Sheets("sheet2")
[Code]...

A person on this board did this for me with this so far and I need to be able to view more than 16 rows. I would like to view all the rows it finds. I have 62,000 rows on information this far and will exceed 500,000 so you can see my need to see all involved to save hours of sifting through data. I would also like a place up top near the box (column G.H)(3,4,5) another box for me to enter a new number combination to search. Presently I have to go through the data to find the first one which is also time consuming. I would like to be able to put say for example in the area I am mentioning:
2 6
4
2 8

I'm trying to divide the hours between 2 given times in blocks:
i.e.: monday 0600 - 1400 = 8 hrs
2400-0700 [mon - fri] = 1
0700-1800 [mon - fri] = 7
1800-2400 [mon - fri] = 0
0000-2400 [weekend]
I got the first 3 blocks working but got stuck with the 4th one.
It should count only those hours between saturday morning 0000 and sunday night 2400 if it concerns a weekend day. and actually these hours should not be calculated in the first 3 time blocks.

I am trying to do an "if" statment to look in every 23rd cell to see if it is greater than 0. if it is it populates what is in that cell. That is fine...
The problem is i want to create the "if" statement just a couple of time manually, than drag it down 300 rows and have it look every 23 cells. It does not recognize the pattern???

I have an xy chart for which I would like to format the lines to be different patterns beyond those available in the format series dialog. I recognise that this will mean using VBA and I am happy to do that. I would like to be able to use patterns in the same way as they are used in a column chart.
I recorded a macro to see which properties were changed when the patterns are selected in the dialog for the xy chart and it is clear that it is only the LineStyle of the border and that there is no interior.
With Selection.Border
.ColorIndex = 57
.Weight = xlMedium
.LineStyle = xlGray25
End With
This would explain why when I use debug.print ser.Interior.Pattern I get -4105 or if I change ser.Fill.Forecolor etc it has no effect.
Is there any way to use user defined patterns to colour the lines in the same way as in a histogram/coloumn chart?

I'm trying to create an auto fill pattern to match B4-M4 then repeat with B5-M5 and continue to 350.
So for example, I'd like to manually enter "B4,C4,D4,E4,F4,G4,H4,I4,J4,K4,L4,M4,B5,C5,D5,E5,F5,G5,H5,I5,J5,K5,L5,M5" into column A and drag the auto fill box down until I've repeated the pattern to match all the way to M350.
Is this possible? I tried just entering the pattern as I've posted and dragging the auto fill down, but it doesn't fill the numbers properly and ends up with a strange pattern.

I am using Excel 2007 and I need to search for data patterns that are spread across many columns. I am not sure how to search so that criteria is met across all the columns concurrently.
For example
I am interested in data that matches the following criteria ;
Column B has the value 55
Column C has the value 70
Column D has the value 80
Rows of interest are when all the criteria in columns B,C,D are met at the same time (e.g 55 in B, 70 in C and 80 in D).

I have created a spreadsheet to find cyclical patterns and my next task was to sort these patterns from highest value to lowest.
Next I need to start from the first row of the sorted spreadsheet and find the first row working down that repeats. Once I find his row I have to stop the search and highlight both the original and repeated rows. If the first row has no repeat it has to move to the second row and do the same operation until it finds a row that does repeat and so on.

I was wondering if there was a way to create patterns when copying and pasting formulas?
For example, here is what I want to do right now:
=AVERAGE(Sheet1!I2:I650)
=AVERAGE(Sheet1!I2:I649)
=AVERAGE(Sheet1!I2:I648)
=AVERAGE(Sheet1!I2:I647)
=AVERAGE(Sheet1!I2:I646)
=AVERAGE(Sheet1!I2:I645)
=AVERAGE(Sheet1!I2:I644)
=AVERAGE(Sheet1!I2:I643)
=AVERAGE(Sheet1!I2:I642)
=AVERAGE(Sheet1!I2:I641)
=AVERAGE(Sheet1!I2:I640)
In other words, have a pattern in the formula?
Or something like this, but filling out cells horizontally.
=A1/A100
=A1/A99
=A1/A98
=A1/A97
=A1/A96
=A1/A95
etc...
Or:
=A1*A1
=A1*A2
=A1*A4
=A1*A8
=A1*A16
=A1*A32
=A1*A64
etc...

Split from How To Set Up A Spreadsheet The Right Way
Taking onboard what you suggested I have "rethought" the layout and it is now in a single table format. What had stopped me doing this previously was the fact that I was not able to show 7 days a week for 48 weeks in columns. However thanks to the transpose function all the data is now more user friendly (See Attached Workbook)
You mention the data should be quite easy to manipulate from here, any ideas as I am struggling with the concept of how to display the data in a time series. I assume that it will involve some form of lookup function referenced to the table of times, but thats as far as i can get.

I'm attempting to do work on pattern detection and actions based on how said patterns occur in a column. Here is what I would like excel to do for me:
Code:
Pattern W1
Example A1=A , A2=A , A3=B
Pattern L1 Consecutive "A" 3 or more
Example A4=A , A5=A , A6=A
Triggers on specific events:
While L1 tracking variable = 0 -- If L1 is found, mark a variable to -2 then set the corresponding cell in the column over to the value of the variable (-2)
While L1 tracking variable < 0 -- If consecutive L1s are found one after another, then (on each consecutive occurence) multiply the variable by 3, then set the corresponding cell in the column over to the value of the variable
If W1 is found while L1's variable is < 0, then multiply the value of the L1 tracking variable by -1 and add 1, then set the corresponding cell in the column over to the value of the L1 variable, then set L1's tracking variable to 0
If W1 is found while L1's variable is = 0, then set the corresponding cell in the column over to the value of 1
All data is in one column.

I have a list of two columns. Here’s an example. The left most column provides the row number.
_ A B
1 1 0
2 2 1
3 2 1
4 3 2
5 4 2.5
6 5 4
7 1 0
8 1 0
9 2 2
Whenever there are two repeating numbers in column one, I want to reduce certain numbers in column 2 by a certain amount. The amount is determined by half the difference between the number in column B corresponding to the second repeated number and the number in column B corresponding to the row after the second repeating number. The range of numbers that are to be reduced begins with the row after the second repeating number and ends with the last row before number one appears in column A. The values in column A are integers, always starting with one. For example, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
For the above example, after finding the repeating number two’s at A2 and A3, it would reduce B4 through B6 by half the difference between B3 and B4 (1/2). The values for B4 through B6 would be updated in column B. The same for the next repeated numbers, which is one at A7 and A8. Half the difference between B8 and B9 is 1.
Here’s what the updated list would look like:
1 1 0
2 2 1
3 2 1
4 3 1.5
5 4 2
6 5 3.5
7 1 0
8 1 0
9 2 1

I'm trying to figure out the whole Regular Expression thing...so I figured Hotpepper's EXDATA UDF would be a good place to try and rewrite with Regular Expression...I got it to work...but not sure why as it seems opposite of what I would have expected...
eg pattern [^/d] i thought would give me everything except numerics...but it appears to be giving me numerics....
here's the code and sheet...can someone help explain what's going on? .......

I am creating an electronic timesheet. I have created drop downs for times of the day, which then automatically calculates the number of hours worked based on the times selected. The trouble I am having is, I also need to incorporate "Vacation", "Sick Day", etc into the drop down box where the time of day is located.
The sheet works great until someone selects a non-time related answer, such as "Vacation". When this option is selected, the cell that is supposed to contain the number of hours worked says #VALUE! when I, in fact, need it to list a value of 0 for the number of hours worked. Any idea on how to combine my formula =(D6-D5)*24+(D8-D7)*24+(D10-D9)*24 with an IF statement that will automatically assign a value of 0 if a text answer is selected from the drop down?

Basically the two instances shown are the same, one is a pivot table, the other is copy pasted values off the pivot.
I need to prepare a chart for this data such that the years are show on X axis and the "frequency intervals" and the Count are shown on Y axis ( Im assuming one would have to be one on primary and one on secondary).
What this data is conveying is that e.g. in year 2002 there were 16 customers who bought between 0-799 quantity of a given item, in 2003, 48 customers bought a quantity between 0-799 and so on and so forth.

I have a cell in which I would like to have a user enter an email address. If it does not follow a valid format I would like it to display an error message, "Invalid E-mail Address", clear contents and re-select the cell otherwise move to the next cell. By Valid email I want it to check for only one "@", and at least one "." but I also want it so that a user can't just bypass it with typing "@.". I would like it to reject special characters and spaces and only allow "-" and "_" maybe a general format of <name>@<place>.<domain>
The cell in question is K45 and the following cell would be K47 if a valid email is entered
