I have a list of stock codes which are 6 digits long and there are over 550 of them.
We have shortened our codes to a five digit number, removing the first digit.
Is there a way to delete the first digit of the numeric and replace it with the remainder in all of the 550+ cells?
So what i need is a 6 digit alpha numeric random (1000 entries)
so from some searching i figured that it should be...
=MID(A1,1+INT(RAND()*LEN(A1)),1)&MID(A1,1+INT(RAND ()*LEN(A1)),1)&MID(A1,1+INT(RAND()*LEN(A1)),1)&
MID (A1,1+INT(RAND()*LEN(A1)),1)&MID(A1,1+INT(RAND()*L EN(A1)),1)&MID(A1,1+INT(RAND()*LEN(A1)),1)
[Code]....
but when i fill down it auto it to a2 , then a3 etc... how do i stop that?
I might delete out the o O and 0 cause it gets confusing...
Also, it re-randomizes every time I open the file... is there a way to stop it?
I have a column of 6 digit numbers in excel, and I need to remove the last digit from each number, turning it into a 5 digit number. No rounding, just simply remove the last digit.

This 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 ?

When using the replace rule in Excel, you can use "?" to represent a standard variable, e.g. if you had the text "Bottle 100g", and you set the replace rule as "?g", it would delete the "g" and the four characters before it, leaving you with "Bottle".
However, if I have lots of replace rules to make in a file, and I only want to eliminate the numerical values before a letter, how do I go about doing this?
For example, if I had the text "Dog food 10g", and I made a replace rule "??g", it would leave me with " food ". What I would really need, is a way of taking away the numeric values before the "g", which would give me "Dog food".
Therefore, is there a unique identifier for numeric and/or text values?
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 using the following vba code to find numeric codes in a column and replace them with the same code along with descriptive text:
Range("Q:Q").Select
Selection.Replace What:="11", Replacement:="11 - GSA"
Selection.Replace What:="10", Replacement:="10 - NYS OGS"
Selection.Replace What:="1", Replacement:=" 1 - Dist Sale"
Selection.Replace What:="2", Replacement:=" 2 - Direct Sale"
Selection.Replace What:="3", Replacement:=" 3 - No Sale: Warranty Exchange"
The problem as you might already see is that when the replacement of "1" happens, Excel will replace the 1 in the 10 and 11. Of course I want to only replace the number 1. Is there a better way to code this operation?

I need to remove for example Inside Diam=| since it doesn't have a spec about the product
Width=5/8 in| will remain since it does have a spec about the product
so after this is done it should look like this

I have:
www.abc.com/
www.abc.com/def
what I want is to basically remove the "/" after the .com but keep it on the second one.
So final result should be
www.abc.com

when I do find and replace of "/" with a blank it makes it www.abce.comdef, which is not what I want.
I have very large text data which contains accented characters (E.g., "ÑÒÓÔÕÖÙÚÛÜÝàáâãäåçèéêëìíîïðñòóôõöùúûüýÿˆµ" etc.) within words.
Since I have several data sheets, some of which having 500000+ rows, Find and Replace and similar options are not viable.
I wish to replace each of these characters with regular English characters in all sheets. If that is difficult, these must at least be removed from the whole text. note that I need to preserve regular characters that are commonly used, particularly the hyphen (-) and underscore (_).

I know you can take a number from one cell and combine it with number from another cell and make it one number. What I need to do is the reverse. Take a two digit number in a cell and separate it into single digits in two cells. If you have the number 50 in a cell, then is there a formula that will take the 5 and put it in cell and take the 0 and put it in the cell beside it?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI 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.

View 13 Replies View Related I want to count the smallest numbers in a range of 10 cells after omitting the 4 largest. I have been using the formula
=SUM(IF(ISNUMBER(LARGE(E5:N5,{1,2,3,4})),LARGE(E5:N5,{1,2,3,4})),D5),
This works perfectly in that in the desired cell it enters the 4 largest numbers and a specified cell. I then want to be able to total the remainder.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have some 82,875 rows of data in column A is a string, in column B is a timestamp sorted in order.
I would like to run a macro that counts the first 80 of the same timestamp and highlights the remainder, doing this for every timestamp.
The timestamp is in the following format; Feb 16 15:33:02 +0000 2014
So for example you would take the first 80 with this timestamp and highlight the rest with that timestamp, and do the same for all other unique timestamps.
