Remove All Hyphens From A Cell
Aug 24, 2006
I am trying to take a list of part numbers that have an undefined number of hyphens in the part number, and remove the hyphens in order to use the VLOOKUP function.
Example part numbers are AA34-55A3-L, 444342-02, etc.
I tried searching for threads that helped on this subject but they all involved VBA, which I do not know how to use with Excel. I took VB senior year of high school and C for a semester in college, so I recognize the commands, but I have no idea how it's implemented.
Is there a [relatively simple] way to do this with Excel functions? If not, how would I implement this using VBA? I am currently using the 2003 edition.

I need to make a macro that will find text between "o/" and "/", remove hyphens from the text it found, and then add it to the end of the current cell contents.
I know how to add to the end of current cell contents, but cannot figure out how to grab text between certain characters or replace hyphens and replace with spaces.

I've a set of 10-digit numbers within a cell, which need to custom formatted in a particular format.
i.e., '1234567890' should be custom formatted to '123-456-7890' (for this i'm using the custom format 000-000-0000)
However, when I have multiple 10-digit numbers like shown in the trix (click here), i'm not able to format them because they are all comma-separated.
Do LMK if there is a workaround

I have fractions and whole numbers in a column as per the following.
E13 = 3/4
E15 = 5
E17 = 1-1/2
I can use the formula =SUBSTITUTE(E17,"-"," ")+0 which gives the correct result of 2.5 and also correct
for E15 with the answer 5.
But I'm stumped how to get it correct for E13 where it is less than whole number.
I can use the formula =IF(E13=0,0,("0 "&E11)+0) but that won't work for the remainder of the cells.

I am having a problem with formatting a cell. I have several (into the hundreds) of items that are being inputed and I am looking for resolution with formatting. I have gotten pretty close but there are some kinks that I can't seem to work out.
The column that I am working on has numbers such as these (they aren't currently formatted)
14-12345
14-01234
14-00123
these numbers are organized by 2 digit year (XX) a hyphen (-) and then a five digit number (XXXXX) hence XX-XXXXX.
My number already have the hyphen in them and the auto format has taken some of the numbers from XXXXX to XXX if the number started with two zeros.
14-123
14-1234
Is there anyway to custom format the cell so that it will turn
This into this
14-123 14-00123
But leave this 14-12345 alone?
The closest I have gotten to an answer is this formula 00"-0"0000, but that messes up the larger numbers.

I am trying to sort a column of numbers, and some of the numbers have hyphens in them.
Excel will first sort the non-hyphenated numbers then it will sort the numbers with hyphens.
I would like to be able to sort it all together starting from the lowest first number to the last highest number. I have included an example.

I have a column that orders fine a-z except for the fact that it doesn't group words together with hyphens e.g.:
1.my-flies
2.myflies
3.my-fly
4.myfly
when I want it to be
1.my-flies
2.my-fly
3.myfly
4.myflies

I need a way to randomly generate a number( up to hundred trillion) in cell A1 and in cell B1 have the number appear in word form. Example: 129,114,023,131,453 will appear in A1 and in B1: one hundred twenty-nine trillion one hundred four-teen billion twenty-three million one hundred thirty-one thousands four hundred fifty-three The hyphens are important, commas between the numbers are not necessary. I know that for A1 I can use Randbetween() function to generate the numbers. The problem is generating the word form with the hyphens....

I have a string of text in cell A2. In cell B2 of my spreadsheet is a formula that calculates a number based on the text string in cell A2.
I want to write a VBA loop that removes a single character from the cell A2 string, then calculate the new value in cell B2. I want this loop to continue until the value in B2 falls below a set value (in this case 60).
My code so far
Sub trim_text()
Dim mytext As String
Dim myanswer As Integer
mytext = Range("A2")
myanswer = Range("B2")
Do While myanswer > 60
mytext = (Right(mytext, Len(mytext) - 1))
Loop
End Sub
This obviously does not work. In my excel table I have a formula in cell B2 to calculate "myanswer" will this work, or does that code have to be placed into the VBA code?

I have found a very useful UDF for removing non-alpha characters from strings. (See below, Credit for posting to Stanley D Grom - Ozgrid post ´Removing Non-alpha Characters From Text´).
Option Explicit
Private Function RemoveCharacters(InString As String) As String
Dim intLoopCounter As Integer
Dim intStringLength As Integer
Dim intASCIIVal As Integer
intStringLength = Len(InString)
InString = LCase(InString)
For intLoopCounter = 1 To intStringLength
intASCIIVal = Asc(Mid(InString, intLoopCounter, 1))
If intASCIIVal >= 97 And intASCIIVal <= 122 Then
RemoveCharacters = RemoveCharacters + Mid(InString, intLoopCounter, 1)
End If
Next intLoopCounter
End Function
Two requests:
1. Could the UDF be modified such that any part of a string contained within brackets is also removed (e.g. "NLGA High Street (West-Enfield), EN6" becomes "nlgahighstreeten")?
2. Can an argument be added to the format of the UDF, such that numbers (0 to 9) are either included or excluded (e.g. RemoveCharacters(A1,1) where the argument ´1´ would include any numbers (0 to 9), so "NLGA2003 High Street (West-Enfield), EN6" becomes "nlga2003highstreeten6")? ´blank´or ´0´would exclude these numbers, i.e. would return "nlgahighstreeten"

I need to create a formula that will remove / delete the last zero from a cell, but only if there is a . in the string and then delete the .
Example
A1
175FP2T12123050079301001 - Leave unchanged
A2
175FP2T12123050079302001.1 - result should be 175FP2T12123050079302011

Below is a typical example of the contents of one of my cells (of which I have around 500 cells):
263,330,335,430,431,435,640,700,748,750,752,800,807,901,916,917,937,944,954,953,962,266,2038,2054,20 56,2057,2058,357, 591, 800, 802, 748, 423, 801, 570, 955, 747, 940, 800, 748, 918, 800,730,579,728,307,310,577,717,939,958,713,
332,613,640,661,690, 800, 613, 332, 434, 575, 593, 904, 943, 648, 946, 947, 2079I'd like to remove duplicate entries from this cell (per cell) e.g. "800" appears several times.
We can distinguish between each entry by the comma - but how can I get Excel to look inside one specific cell at text and remove these?

I need to format C2 so that it removes all text that comes after a dash in B2, but if no dash exists, then it returns the text: Parent. For example, here are 3 values in B2, B3, and B4:
1234-s
1234-m
1234
In C2, C3, and C4 I'd like to have the following values returned based on the above values in B:
1234-
1234-
Parent................

I would like to take a value in a cell and remove the second and third characters in that cell.
For example: "V0010" would become "V10."
I've found formulas for removing the beginning and ending characters, but not a way to remove from the middle.

I have a function that adds a cell to a range whenever an "a" is placed in that cell using Set myRange= Application.Union(myRange, Target) under Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range). If a value other than "a" is then placed in the same cell I want to remove that cell from myRange. It is fairly random which cells someone will put an "a" in. Does anyone know of a function, or any way to do this. Basically if there are 4 cells in myRange (A1, B4, C6, D8) I just want to remove the last cell and have myRange have 3 cells now (A1, B4, C6).

The numerical results in column A need to have the last three characters stripped from the cells. I used the =LEFT formula in adjacent cells to return the results but I am looking for a way to run code to remove these three numbers in each cell from row 1 to 8000 in column A.
