VBA Loop - Remove Single Character From Cell String Then Calculate New Value In Cell
Mar 1, 2012I 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?
Remove Last Comma In The Fields
Jul 14, 2008I'm doing data clean up for a client & have run across data that contains a comma at the end. They've supplied it to me this way & from what I can see it just ends (there is no space after the final comma) IE:
Cheerful, Chipper, Convivial, Delighted, Ecstatic, Elated, Exultant, Pleasant, Pleased, Sparkling, Sunny, Tranquil, Unadorned, Symphony,
The next row may be similar in descriptors but not contain the extraneous comma at the end. IE:
Compassionate, Tender, Calm, Countrified, Priestly, Tranquil, Unadorned, Symphony, Pastoral
Is there a way to remove the final comma in the fields where it's just "dangling" at the end but not remove it from the fields that don't contain the extraneous comma?
Obviously Find & Replace doesn't work because I need the commas to remain throughout the rest of the data. I've searched the boards & have not found a formula that works... I'm going a bit cross eyed at the moment & with thousands of rows to go through, I'd hate to have to remove the ending comma's one at a time!

Remove Characters Right Of Comma In A Web Query
Aug 7, 2009I currently have a macro that imports data from a web-based query then deletes column A from the query. I do this because I am using a VLOOKUP on the data and the VLOOKUP value would be in column B if I didn't.
The website has changed the format and now once column A is deleted, I'm left with a format of FirstName LastName, POS TEAM (i.e. Tom Brady, QB NEP). My VLOOKUP looks for FirstName LastName so I'm getting the "N/A" error now. I need to remove the "," and "POS" and "TEAM" from the imported data. This would be easy enough if the number of characters right of and including the comma was consistent, but it isn't. (Also, text to columns then CONCATENATE won't work because VLOOKUP looks at values, not formula results...)
Now I know the formula =LEFT(A1,FIND(",",A1)-1) works, but how would I incorporate this into the worksheet to keep the values in column A and not add additional columns to throw off my VLOOKUP.
Ideally I'd like a simple macro to add to my current macro to use the above formula, but I'm not sure of the wording.

Remove The Extra White Space Between Each Comma Delimited Digit
Oct 25, 2009This is a delima I cannot figure out. I had to create passwords for a website we are building. I have 3000 employee numbers has to be used. So what i did was took the first initial and middle initial and last initial and first 5 of the ID number. I did a comma delimiter to obtain all of the letters and numbers. example: ABC12345
My problem is none of the passwords work because when I imported the letters and numbers into the sheet it looks just like the above. However on review I cut and pasted back to notepad and the data looks like this:
"A B C 12345"
So its adding a tab in the password thats thats a problem, How do I remove this extra white space between each comma delimited digit? without having to manually delete it ?

Extract Nth Word & Remove 1 Character

and have it working exactly as it's supposed to. Is it possible to adapt this to remove the last character of the text string, specifically the commas?

I'm not using the "Data Text to Columns" option as I need the results in specific cells so they can then be used in calculations.

Remove Text Character From Cells With Numbers
May 14, 2008I want to change the character ~ with . in order to be able to make them numeric values to be feeded to other functions. But REPLACE seems not doing the job so I've been checking out other options such as seperating after and before the character ~. Details are below. I've been trying to use this formula to extract values from a delimited database which I open with excel. The formula that has brought me close is =IF(ISNUMBER(E51)=FALSE,LEFT(E51,LEN(E51)- FIND("~",E51)),E51)

3210~0000
When I import the database, the figures above have originals as 14010.00000 & 3210.00000 but transfer to excel as above. As far as I have observed 9 character spaces are displayed & the DOT transfers to ~ for some reason. I need the LEFT section of the ~
Remove / Replace ONLY FIRST Occurrence Of First Character In All Rows Of Column?
Jul 30, 2013I need to remove the first character in each row of a column, but only its first occurrence in each row. For instance:
Say, column 2 has following data (lots of rows, by the way):
First Text" - "blabla"
=SomeText2 = "blabla"
SomeText3 = "blabla"
=SomeText4 = "blabla"
-SomeText5 --- "blabla"
........
....
I would like to use the VBA code to remove ONLY the FIRST occurrence of the FIRST character specified (either "=" or "-") in each row in that column, so that I get:
First Text" - "blabla"
SomeText2 = "blabla"
SomeText3 = "blabla"
SomeText4 = "blabla"
SomeText5 --- "blabla"
......
...and so on...
I tried to use this:
Code:
Columns(2).Cells.Replace What:="-", Replacement:="", LookAt:=xlPart, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False, _
ReplaceFormat:=False
Columns(2).Cells.Replace What:="=", Replacement:="", LookAt:=xlPart, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False, _
ReplaceFormat:=False
but it replaces ALL occurrences of "=" and "-" and that is not what I need.
I also tried this code:
Code:
With Range("B:B")
.Value = Replace(.Value, "=", "", 1, 1)
End With
But It doesn't work either.

Excel 2003 :: How To Remove Characters To The Right Of Last Occurrence Of Special Character
Mar 30, 2011I have a column of text where I need to remove all the characters to the right of the last occurance of a special character.
I think a process like reading from right to left, look for the first occurance of the special character, and return the characters to the left of this position.
If I can determine the position of the last occurance of the special character, I could use the LEFT function.
The SEARCH function is close. It finds the position of the first occurance of text inside text but it reads from left to right. I need to read from right to left.
Another approach is to examine each character one by one from right to left. If the character is not the special character, delete it. When the character is the special character, delete it and stop the process.
There is no consistency in the text. The total lengths vary. The number of times the special character occurs in the text vary. The number of characters to the right or left of the last special character vary.
I much prefer not to have the solution be some VBA because I need to share it with others who are even less capable than I am. We are using Excel 2003.
