I'm having some problems with the removal of duplicate values in a time series. The time series consist of stock data for about 10000 firms, but about 3000 of these firms died(delisted) before the end of the sample. The database I used to extract these data, however, does not remove the firm values from the sample, but keeps the last known value of the firm for the remainder of the time. Therefore, I need to remove these duplicate values, but only if they are sequential. Furthermore, normally if you remove duplicate values, excel will delete the cell and shift the data upwards, since it's a time-series I would rather have excel just blanking out the cell instead of removing it.
I've looked at normal solutions, like using the countif functionallity in excel, but this is not feasible because of the size of the worksheet, also, it does remove non-sequential duplicate values as well.
summary:
- Want to remove duplicate values, but only sequential values.( It's possible firm value is the same somewhere in the time period)
- The cells should be blanked out instead of deleted.
I have a worksheet with several columns of data. In Col B are part numbers, in column D are dates. I wish to search through the data and remove all lines with duplicate cells in column B EXCEPT the line which has the latest date in colum D. I should then be left with a sheet that has no duplicate cells in column B and the latest date in column D.
I have cells where the formual is this: =D17/SUM(D17:E17). The result is always going to be a three-digit decimal, less than 1. .546 .345 .678 etc. Excel, of course, places a zero in the front: 0.546 0.345 etc. Is there a way to remove this?
I have about 80K (80 thousands) entries.Each entry starts with #000. I want to remove "#" sign and zeros as well.I had used "LEFT " function but problem is that some numbers have 3 zeros in the start and some have have 4 or 2 or one zero. I tried to do it manually but it proved a gigantic task and been unable to complete it.
The few examples of entries are as under. #0001234 #000001897 #034567 #00671234
I have received an excel spreadsheet that only has 23 columns. The sheet is not protected, the columns are not hidden, the columns are not shrunk to .01 millimetres, the columns are quite simply not there. How is this possible to do? Columns displayed are a through to W. If I delete a column the columns display only a through to v.
I got three columns in excel. Column A is a list of items, so is column C. Column B displays the similarity in the 2 lists.
I use the following command =IF(ISERROR(MATCH(A1,$C$1:$C$265,0)),"",A1).
SO: A B C
Cat Fish Dog Dog Roll Bull Carpet Apple Dog
But what I want to do is the following:
If I have "D-og 12 2-3" in column A and say "do g 1 22/3" in column C, I want it to be displayed in column B. To do that I need to decapitalise and remove all the special symbols such as space, ), (, *, &, ^, %, $, #, @,! etc.
So I get dog1223 in column B since they are the same.
I am trying to print this document but when I print it, there appears a gap between the bottom of the page and the object at the bottom of the page. I have attached the word file (soft copy) as well as the clarification page.
If both conditions are satisfied then the formula applies 2000 $ recruitment charges , else it is 0 (zero)
While it returns 2000 as true value where it is required, for rest of the cells it returns value "FALSE", which I dont want to see. I need to see 0 (ZERO). I am confused , as to how this can be achieved.
I have some password protected excel worksheets that required editing as they are from earlier versions, an earlier time and all need to be updated. This would be fine if it was myself who actually made the worksheets, but the person who did retired a couple of years ago and has dropped off the map (no contact details etc).
I know how to remove passwords, when I was the one who set them. The big problem here is, they are all macro enabled and for some reason the free down load password removal applications do not unlock worksheets that are macro enabled.
someone show me how to change formula values. i am limited on information i can enter.i tried filling entire area with data to perhaps get a gradual movement down from 27-28 . how do i edit the formula to read 5 to 200 instead of 5-27
I need a macro, preferably a "sub" that will search a long text input and when it finds the first instance of the letters "GSH" in that order removing all previous text before it. The amount of text characters, letters, and order before the gsh will vary.
I have a cell with text in. I need a formula that will remove the characters "Age" from that cell and return the text without thoser characters. eg. Cell A1 = "What is the age we live in?" I need a formula to put in A2 so that it reads:"What is the we live in?"
I'm creating some workbooks from PDF files. After converting, some of the values in column A get placed into column B along w/it's values. Column A should have only a 6 digit number. Column B may have a combination of numbers and letters, but more use of letters.
I'm trying to create a formula for that will remove the 6 digit number at the front of my text values if it is present in column b. If it is not, than the column should remain the same. Is there a way to say remove first six values from left if values are numbers? The results should out put to sheet 2.
I've got a column with numbers. some of the numbers have the following signs/symbols proceeding the value in the same cell: ',ft,#,ea,each. I want to have these removed by a formula so that the numerical values are alone.
This is an continuation to some earlier formulations to place value correctly in cells. It started for me here: http://www.excelforum.com/excel-gene...ell-value.html
Now, I've come across another situaton. If there is a value of any combination of numerals and text "X" specifically as: 1x,21x,100x,1001x,10230x, I'd like to have the x removed. The resultant will be in column D of sheet FormulaOut. See attachment as this will be building on the following formula:
I want to have a user form named Advanced Character Removal which has different characters with checkboxes to select them
The selection should be grouped as
1,2,3 command box to select numbers a,b,c command box to select alphabets Upper and Lower case a,e,u command box to select special characters Command box to select spaces command box to slect symbols command box to select invisible command box to select linebreaks command box to select all command box to select none
Desining such a user form is a heavy task. what is the initial process so that i could work around it and complete it in Designing Advanced Character Removal User form.
I have a sample image of advanced user form in .gif format but i don't know how to attach it here..
If Sheets("Workings").Cells(ExceptionCount, ColumnCount + 3).Value = 1 Then Sheets("Allocations").Range(.Cells(ABIndex + 5 + week, (ColumnCount * 7) - 5), .Cells(ABIndex + 5 + week, ColumnCount * 7)).Value = "" Else End If
I know the If statement is working, but for some reason I can't fathom the line that removes the cell contents does nothing. I have tried ending with .ClearContents rather than .Value but that doesn't work either.
i need a command to remove (delete) a member of a collection by its key. Something like: SomeXCollection.Remove 2213acv (where 2213acv is the key property of certain SomeXCollection member object) but this syntax (i found in Excel Help), doesn't work to me.
I have several Excel files with longitude values in column A, latitude in B, and data in columns C to DH. There is a lot of data in each file, so I was wondering if someone would be able to design a macro to achieve the following: I want any row containing zeros through column C to DA (not through to DH) to be deleted (deletion of the whole row, including DB to DH) - and the row beneath to be shifted up so no blank rows remain.
However, there are 16 instances where the row contains legitimate zeros and should be preserved in the dataset. These are at the following coordinates, where longitude (column A) is listed first, with latitude (B) second.
So just to clarify, please could someone create a macro which deletes a row with zeros present from C to DA and shifts up the row beneath, except in the instances listed above.
im having a little trouble, I cant seam to get the correct structure for adding items to the 2007 ribbon. Withen workbook activate or deactivate i am using HandleMenu = true .... or false to show and remove the added ribbon. Though when i use the HandleMenu= false to remove the ribbon it leaves the Create report item behind. What am i missing to be able to remove it correctly.
Any way via VBA to remove HTML tags from a string that has been imported into a cell?
For example, if the cell contained(bearing in mind I can't actually use HTML tags in this post...
"LeftPointyBracket" B "RightPointyBracket" CatDog "LeftPointyBracket" I "RightPointyBracket" Elephant "LeftPointyBracket" B/ "RightPointyBracket"I would need CatDogElephant returning. So, any pointy brackets and anything between pairs of pointy brackets needs to be removed.
I have a spreadsheet ranging from A1 to AH602 Column AH contains row totals and Row 602 contains colunm totals. I am importing a CVS file starting at cell A4 - the number of rows contained in the import varies drastically. I would like to build a macro that would remove all the unused rows. I have tried to record a macro that would do this but the number of rows always ends up static and not variable.
What I'm doing below is Using an END+HOME to take me to the furthest point in the active range then 3 UP ARROWS to get to the desired row then an END+LEFT ARROW followed by END+UP ARROW and 2 DOWN ARROWS to get to the starting cell in Column A. At that point I use a SHIFT+END+DOWN ARROW to capture the range of Rows I need to delete.
Sub Macro1() ActiveCell.SpecialCells(xlLastCell).Select Range("AH599").Select Selection.End(xlToLeft).Select Selection.End(xlUp).Select Range("A101").Select Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select Selection.EntireRow.Delete End Sub
This works except that the starting cell remains the static.
I have a multi-line text box in a user form. This information is loaded onto an excel spreadsheet. Where I have pressed the return button to go to the next line in the text box it loads in a square (actually I think it's probably more of a rectangle) character onto the excel spreadsheet. It there a way to get rid of this character?
