I have data in column "A" that contains an asterisk at the end of the cell value. The problem is, this asterisk can be any number of spaces away from the value that I want. remove this character from the cells? Data is copied from another program and the number of rows can be different from day to day.
View 5 RepliesI'm trying to convert variable length strings which are being copied from a display and loaded into an array.
I have it working fine for the majority of the data, which comes in looking like "*ABC@US" or "*AABC@US"
However, some of the data looks a bit different, particularly lacking the @ symbol. So what I end up with is
"*ABC US*ABC US*ABC US"
What I need to get to is just "ABC US" FYI the US part can be 1-5 characters.
SO... I need a way to truncate anything after the second instance of the asterisk. Haven't been able to get it to work using various trim, mid, len, left, right, etc functions.
I attach picture.
I need to put * and in that field appear word from above and to change field color to one of three presented colors depend in which row * is inserted.
All other fields need to be empty and white, like on second picture.
I know that is little If...Then, but I don't have so much knowledge.
How does one use the find and replace function in Excel to replace an asterisk? "*"
View 2 Replies View RelatedLet's say I have two columns: Homeless (column A) & Services (column B). Homeless responses can be either "Y" or "N". Service can be "a", "b", or "ab". Here is an example:
Homeless Service
y a
y b
n a
y ab
I was hoping to use SUMPRODUCT to calculate clients who are homeless and receiving "a" service. I want to be able to calculate those receiving "a" service even if they are receiving "b" service, so I attempted to use asterisks like I have used prior with the COUNTIF function. Here is what I thought would work:
=SUMPRODUCT((A2:A5="y")*(B2:B5="*a*"))
And I expected it to return 2, but I found that I couldn't get the SUMPRODUCT to work with asterisks. I am able to get the results I want be creating a new column to sort the services into just those who are homeless and then using COUNTIF, but I'd rather come up with a more streamlined approach.
I have an input box for the user to type in a pin number to identify themselves, I would like to make it so that what is seen in the input box is the * symbol as in most applications. I have sussed out how to do it with a text box in a form but if I use that it would mean a major rewrite of my code,

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm working again with a large Inventory Database dump into a workbook and in the past the company appended the * character to designate an updated price on an item(column C). Its rocking my world to sort through things with this character as you can tell. I'm trying to find rows that column C has a * in, cut, and paste them into another sheet called "Updated". I would even accept just how I'd do a simple "find/replace all" on that character and then I can just update my macro and be on my way Anyway this is the macro thus far and as you can see it would just cut all rows and paste them to "Updated".
Sub Updated()
With Worksheets(1).Columns("C")
Set c = .Find("*", LookIn:=xlValues)
If Not c Is Nothing Then
firstAddress = c.Address
Do
c.EntireRow.Cut Destination:=Worksheets("Updated"). Range("A" & Worksheets("Updated").Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Row + 1)
Set c = .FindNext(c)
Loop While Not c Is Nothing And c.Address <> firstAddress
End If

I need to have the color of cell A2 change when I enter an asterisk in cell A1 to denote a critical dimension on an inspection form.
I used conditional formatting to change cell A1 orange when an asterisk is entered. Is there a way to tell cell A2 to look and see if there is an asterisk in A1 and if so change it's color?
I'd like to compare two columns of data and highlight where a value doesn't occurr in both columns. The problem I have is that one of the columns uses * around the text to ensure it catches all variations of the value.
I have the following formula which would work if the data was exactly the same.
=COUNTIF(lst2,value)=0
However, these *'s are meaning it never works.
Is there a way to make it so that if the values with the *'s are not found in the 1st column of data, conditional formatting is activated?
I am trying to add a * at the end of a value in a cell, used to signify a note at the bottom of the page. However, as the cell contains a formula, excel thinks I am adding a multiplication sign instead.
Is there anyway to place a * at the end of the value, to show up in the cell as text? I would prefer not to have to paste the value of the cell and then add the *...
I have an ad hoc txt file that I import into Excel and use text to columns. The problem is some of the amounts have an asterisk in it such as: 10,412 *
I tried to use the find and replace, but the "*" is considered a wildcard and instead of changing the field to just 10,412, it deletes the entire amount.
Is there a macro that I can use to get around this? The amounts are listed in column G & H
I am trying to run a routine in VBA that will Search for a Part-No. that normally contains asterisks. It is giving me bad positive Search results due to the coding looking at the (*) asterisk's as a wildcard character.
The following Part-No.'s are located in cells (C11:C16):
9L3Z*17757*BCP
6C3Z*16138*AACP
AE5Z*16138*B
AE5Z*17E811*CF
AE5Z*17E811*F
AE5Z*17E810*F
Part-No. to be Searched for:
AE5Z*17E811*F
When the below code is run, the incorrect Part-No. 'AE5Z*17E811*CF' is found in cell (C14) rather than the correct Part-No. found in Cell (C15).
Code:
'The following 2 lines are defaulted for ease of coding
pNumb = "AE5Z*17E811*F"
Range("C11", "C16").Select
[Code] ......
Sub DeleteRowsBasedOnCriteria()
'Assumes the list has a heading.
Dim cl As Range
For Each cl In Range("A6", Range("A65536").End(xlUp))
If cl.Value <> "=~*" Then
cl.EntireRow.Delete
End If
Next cl
End Sub
but it is deleting every row, I am not sure what is wrong?
starting in cell A6
if cell does not start with *, then
delete entire row,
next cell
that is the logic im seeing...ive tried a few o ther combinations like "~*" etc...
I am trying to save a worksheet as a txt file. The worksheet has a range of data with a variable amount of rows in column A only. It generally will look like:
A*B*C
A*B*C*D*E*F*G*H*I*J
A*B*C*D*E*F*G*H*I*J
A*B*C*D*E*F*G*H*I*J
where each row of data is in a single cell.Whenever I save it, however, it adds extra tab deliminations in each row after the data, and it adds rows with no data (sometimes just 1, sometimes many).
I am positive that no cells in columns B-n have data in them (even just a space) and no rows after the last intended have data.
Why are these extra rows and columns being inserted? How can I save a txt file that literally has no other spaces or rows or deliminations other than what's intended?
Can I use the asterisk (*) wildcard to save the file in multiple PATH as long as it the file is in the master drive C:
Ex: the file now is in "C:Public" then can I use "C:Public*" so user can save file at their desire sub-folder such as "C:PublicHenry" as long as it has to be in drive C
I'm using the following code to delete rows that I don't want to include and I've ran into some more things that need to be deleted...
For lLoop = RngCol.Rows.Count To 2 Step -1
Select Case RngCol(lLoop, 1)
Case " Date:", "Skill:", "Agent Name", "~*", "*Train*"
RngCol(lLoop, 1).EntireRow.Delete
End Select
Next lLoop
An example of "~*" would be: ***SICARII***
An example of "*Train*" would be: Ozgrid Train1
It's not recognizing these new cases. Do I have to utilize FIND? (since CTRL+F does work with the given cases)
I have 2 spreadsheets. One is a promotion calendar that lists the dates that promotions on a certain product runs. The other is a shipment grid of shipments of that product to the customer.
I want VLookup to find the customer and the dates and then bring me back an asterisk in a separate column to show me that that certain week that product was delivered was a promotion week. The problem I have is using Vlookup to lookup 2 things at once (and if they match to the promotion calendar) and return me an asterisk.
Here is my formula now:
=IF(VLOOKUP(J2&" "&L2,'East Data'!M:AU,2,FALSE),"*",0)
J2 is the customer name
L2 is the week
"East Data" is the spreadsheet with all of the promotions and customers.
Wanting to remove all zero's from cells that contain zero only.... I don't want to hide them I need to remove them....
have tried several options and can't seem to find the 'right' one....

I have two columns each of 5000 cells. Some cells of column A are duplicated in column B. The duplicates are not necessarily on the same rows. How do I delete the duplicates?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am copying a large sheet into a spread sheet. The problem is one of the columns contain numbers with some cells having an asterisk at the end of the number. This causes problems with the formulas on other sheets that use this data. Can I use a formula or what is the best way to eliminate the "*".
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have about 10000 cells of varying length in text and numbers but they all end with numbers on the ends of them. Using text to columns doesn't work because they're all different lengths and it cuts them off in the wrong place.
Is there a formula I can use that will return only the text from these cells and remove the numbers. It would definitely save me time from individually deleting the numbers at the end.
s/s is 325501 rows deep. Down one column are values but these are seperated by blank cells.

I am exporting lots of data from a website and for some reason to do with html i am getting &nbsp; in a few cells in my description column (column C), i think that means "& " in html. this occurs in some cells but not others when i paste it into Excel. I would like to remove these characters.
I know I can do it with crtl H and the replace field blank but I would like a formula so in the future the user will simply have to paste information and then get converted information out (as they will struggle to use excel).
my values within column A are separated by a dash. I'd like column B to continuously copy column A with the exception of the characters after the dash. example:
____A_____________B

22456-333_______22456
1553665-45______15553665
How can I format cell B to constantly reproduce this result?
