I need to remove the last bit of text from the contents of multiple cells in a column. In my attached example, I want to remove the last line break and the text "• List Price £", by processing all the cells in the column at the same time.
I can add text OK in Format: Cells: Number: Custom using @"text" but haven't been able to figure out how to remove text yet!
This may be a very simple question so forgive me for my ignorance. I have text in individual cells that look something like this (not actually addresses but same format):
Doe, John – 123, Anywhere St (Apt A), Anytown Anystate 12345
I have about 5,000 records. I would like to convert the records to look like this:
Doe John 123 Anywhere St Anytown Anystate 12345
Basically I want to take out all non alphanumeric characters and anything between curved or square brackets. In my minds eye my macro would read something like this:
Do until last character.
If character = alphanumericTrue – Move to next characterFalse – If character = spaceTrue – Move to next characterFalse – If character = curved or square bracketTrue – Delete all text in brackets including brackets then move to next characterFalse – Delete character then move to next character
Loop. I would of course create an additional loop to run down the 5,000 records.
I have a column in which the cells contain values such as "012321 BGH YRK". Is there any way you know of that I can remove just the text from every cell and keep the numeric values? A mass operation because there are literally hundreds of these cells. I am using Excel 2001.

I have a simple sentence in cells C3, D3 and E3. The sentence in C3 is:
Find Airfare to Chicago, Airline Tickets to Chicago, and More | XXXXXXXXX®
D3 contains: XXXXXXXXX highlights outstanding airfares to Chicago from quality airlines and agencies. E3 contains my list of keywords: Chicago Flights, Cheap Flights to Chicago, Cheap Chicago airline tickets, chicago flight, chicago airfare, chicago airline ticket, chicago airline tickets
The XXXXXXXXX in the C&D cells is the client name which I had to blank out in order to post here. I wasn't sure if you guys would need to know exactly how many characters there are in each cell. In column B3 is the name of the city, in this case the city is Chicago. I have 8000 destinations so I need a formula that will take the city (or any information) in the B column and replace that in the C, D and E columns in the appropriate place. I've attached a small, representative file to demonstrate.

MOT 1/F1,

In the string above I need to delete all text from the first comma to the end of the string so the above would look like:
MOT 1/F1
This is an example in one cell of many. The text prior to the first comma may or may not repeat and it is the only portion of the text I wish to keep. The first comma is not always in the same place (character count position).
I want B1 to copy from A1, but if A1 contains a certain text string, then remove that text string and keep everything else. For example, I want B1 to remove "ru" "la" "fm" and "mu" so if A1 is 5464ru-xl then B1 will return 5464-xl or if A1 is 36944la-s then B1 returns 36994-s

I 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)
14010~000
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 ~
I need to delete a leading space from multiple cells, 200 or more. The leading space is in front of text that is often more than one word so I can't just copy into Word and do a find and replace on the spaces.
I looked in many places and found out about the Trim function but when I tried it, it didn't work for me. I created a column next to the column that I want to remove the leading spaces from.
Then I put =TRIM(B2) in the first cell, =TRIM (B3) in the next one, etc. But all it did was put the exact same thing as before (with the leading space still in it) in that column?
I have a huge financial spreadsheet with linked formulas over multiple sheets, and several of these formulas have absolute references. I would like to be able to remove the anchoring so that I can insert rows without disrupting them. Since there are literally thousands of cells I would need to unanchor manually.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am a SAS programmer and often use SAS Proc Export to dump data to Excel. Sometimes the data is an Excel formula, e.g.
=hyperlink("#Sheet1!r1c1","click here")
Because the data is text, what get's put in the cell is '=HYPERLINK("#Sheet1!r1c1","click here") (note leading single quote).
I cannot use the replace function to edit them out, so must hand edit each one out -tedious at best.
Initially I'm simply copying a data table from a web page using "Ctrl + A" then "Ctrl + C", and then pasting the data straight onto a new worksheet so I can work with it. (After temporarily re-naming the old sheet)
But I keep finding what looks like double-spaces after some of the important text within the Range of cells I'm working with. I need to be able to select & conditional format the values of the text in some columns of the sheet, so need to loose these trailing spaces.
Unfortunately, it's not consistence as to how many spaces trail the text I need. Sometimes it's only one space, sometimes its two spaces ?
So far, I've had mixed success with a recorded "Replace" code but none of the other codes I have found on forum pages either don't work all or seem to give any consistent results. E;g; TRIM, CLEAN
I suspect my problem is, I do not know how to call the code properly, or trying to work with too large a range ?
The start of my code reads:
Code:
Sheets("Data").Select
Sheets("Data").Name = "Old Data"
Sheets.Add After:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)
Sheets(Sheets.Count).Select
ActiveSheet.Name = "Data"
[Code]...
' At the moment I'm using to select the pasted range I want to work on: Range(Range("C46"), Range("C46").SpecialCells(xlLastCell)).Select
This is where I need a code to work on the new Data sheet and remove all the trailing characters.

I have a dataset of shifts and want to compare each shift that needs to be filled to a list of requests for time off (vacation, etc).
For one cell the code is: =IF(ISERROR(SEARCH(B1, A1), 0,1)
Where A1 is the column of requests in comma delimited forme (ie: "AB,CD,EF").
Where B1 is the column containing the person assigned to shift 1 (ie: "AB")
In this case, would return a "1" as no error was returned, as AB was found in the list. Here "1" would represent a schedule conflict.
Without creating many cells for each shift- there are 20 shifts- can I create an array or string together this type of "SEARCH" function?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have the following two columns, and would like to obtain for each individual Company, the corresponding Country values excluding duplicates as text in a single cell.
Company 2Country B
Company 2Country C
Company 3Country C
Company 3Country C
Company 5Country A
Company 5Country C
Company 5Country C
For example:
- For Company 2, a cell containing "Country B, Country C"
- For Company 3, a cell containing "Country C"
- For Company 5, a cell containing "Country A, Country C"
I've approached generating an array using an IF statement, as in =IF(INDEX(A1:A8="Company 5",,),INDEX(B1:B8,,)," "), which returns the following array: ={" ";" ";" ";" ";" ";" ";" ";"Country A";"Country C";"Country C";" ";" ";" ";" "}.
The question is: how do I get that array to produce, as text in a cell: "Country A, Country C". Note that the duplicate Country C has been removed.
There are a few "StringConcat" User-defined functions that I've found elsewhere on the internet, but they don't seem to be able to handle to conditionally generated IF Index array, which I would think is key to parsing between Countries corresponding to each Company in the list.
I have four cells that contain text. All have connected check boxes with TRUE FALSE.
I need to be able to select anyone one of these cells with a check box, and have it's text appear in one separate cell eg: A1.
I have no issue connecting check boxes etc. I have no issue reproducing the text from any of these cells into multiple cells with a check box. But they have to be selectable and reproducing in one cell only (eg"A1").
Is there a way to Find & Replace Multiple Cells that contains the same text.
For example:
Cell A1 contains: Brand Stanley Stock No. ASJK12311
Cell A2 contains: Brand Facom N/A 5456chis
Cell A3 contains: Brand 3M Stock No. 128931
Now, I want to replace all cells that contain the word "Stock No" to "Free Delivery"
Result should be:
Cell A1 contains: Free Delivery
Cell A2 contains: Brand Facom N/A 5456chis
Cell A3 contains: Free Delivery

I need to combine or merge text from cells in 20 rows of data into a format able to be printed. This is evaluation data for a class of 20 students, where each row is one students response to the evaluation, with the last cell in the row containing their comments (text data that may be blank, or up to several sentences in length). Here's what I'm trying to do:
Combine all 20 cells into one cell that can be printed (with word-wrap turned on).
Add a blank line between each comment.
Disregard any blank cells so extra blank lines are not added.

I am looking for a formula which will sum numbers with less than symbols in front of them (i.e. they are text cells), and then replace the less than symbol again in the summed cell if initially present. The problem is that not every cell contains a < symbol, some of them are just numbers, and not every column contains a < symbol either.
e.g. I am looking for a formula which if entered in row 5 of this example would give these answers.

I have two separate data files that I am trying to combine into one worksheet. One set of data looks something like this:
Column A Column B ColumnC
Date1 Name1
Date1 Name2
Date1 Name3
Date2 Name1
Date2 Name2
Date2 Name3
This is repeated for something like 200 dates, and there could be anything from 1 to 10 lines for each date, for a total of over 1000 rows.
The other data file has this information:
Column A Column B ColumnC
Date1 Place1
Date2 Place2
Date3 Place3
I.e. one line for each date.
I want to combine the data so that Column C contains the Place data. All I could think to do was combine them and then sort by Column A, so I ended up with this:
Column A Column B ColumnC
Date1 Name1
Date1 Name2
Date1 Name3
Date1 Place1
Date2 Name1
Date2 Name2
Date2 Name3
Date2 Place2
And then I would just copy and paste to end up with this:
Column A Column B ColumnC
Date1 Name1 Place1
Date1 Name2 Place1
Date1 Name3 Place1
Date1 Place1
Date2 Name1 Place2
Date2 Name2 Place2
Date2 Name3 Place2
Date2 Place2
Ultimately I want to sort the combined data by Column C, I just have to get the data in there first.
Is there a formula or macro or something I could use to copy the Place names automatically? Each worksheet with 1000 lines and several dozen worksheets means I'd have to copy and paste dozens of thousands of times, which is a bit tedious.
