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 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 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 generated my urls to online photos, I referenced cells where some are only numerical (ex. 479) while others contain a numerical/text mix (ex. 3014-RACK). Here is my url code in excel...
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 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:
I have the following code which copies certain cells if the Target value ="Yes". The Offset cells have formulas in them. If the Target value ="No", I would like to keep the value but remove the formulas. The problem is that highlighted code doesn't do what I expected.
Code: Option Compare Text Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) Application.ScreenUpdating = False If Not Intersect(Target, Range("J:J")) Is Nothing Then
some vale in the column where i do a vlookup to get data
but i have some problem the vlaue in the cells contains space at the end and i am not able to remove i tried TRIM and also text to column but it does not work
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).
What formula could i use to remove everything before the word "Angels Kiss" in this bit of data "1. Angels Kiss" the number can be a double digit at times the only thing that is always the same is the space after the "."
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.
I have a list of email addresses, about 2000 rows long. they are listed like so but in 1 cell Internet EMail Address: Jo.bloggs@avivagroup.com.au This is what is exactly in the cell, except different names. What I want to be able to do is run something to delete the Internet EMail Address: part but keep the actual address. The problem is its all in the one cell as stated
Any suggestions, list goes something like this Internet EMail Address: Jo.bloggs@avivagroup.com.au Internet EMail Address: Larry.holt@avivagroup.com.au Internet EMail Address: matt.blank@avivagroup.com.au Internet EMail Address: lance.legend@avivagroup.com.au
I have given names to several cells and ranges in my excel sheet. I would like to know how I remove them. Secondly, is it possible to remove all names in the same time in order to gain time ?
