I have a set of data with trailing Y in certain cells.
Instead of the replace function in Excel, is there another way of removing the "Y" in that cell and storing it another cell while keeping the numbers before the Y.
i've created another column to determine which cells has Y as the right most character by using =IF(RIGHT(F2,1)="Y","Y","")
So for example, I want to remove the Y from say Cell A2 and store it in say cell A3 while still keeping the value 8624.46 in A2
I use currency data pasted from legacy program that pastes dollar values followed by a C or D to represent debit and credits, ie -- 1,000,000.00C or 1,000,000.00D.
Is there some way to remove the letter and correctly format the value to a negative or positive number on a whole worksheet or column?
Currently I am doing this manually one cell at a time.
I have a column of data in which each cell contains a line of text. Each line of text has spaces after the letters end and there doesn't seem to be a consistent number of trailing spaces.
I can clean up the data using the TRIM function but is it possible to use the TEXT TO COLUMNS functionality?
I have an excel file with two sheets . One containing the updated prices with its code ( Sheet1) and the other containing the old prices with the same codes (sheet2). Now after several trials to copy the new prices from sheet 1 to sheet 2 with check if the code is same . ( I couldn't )
So how to get rid of the 20 spaces from Sheet1 column A.
I have written a function which works in the same way as the concatenate formula but where required it uses an underscore to make up the length (14 Characters) of the result. I seem however to have hit a minor snag when users input trailing spaces. I thought I could use trim to eliminate them but it doesnt seem to be working
Function HypCon(CorpAcct, Subdiv)
Dim n, i, iLen, iLen2 As Integer Dim sCorpAcct, sSubdiv As String Dim iLen3, iLen4 As Integer iLen = Len(Trim(CorpAcct)) iLen2 = 7 iLen3 = Len(Trim(Subdiv)) iLen4 = 5..............
I have a list (general ledger) GL codes with trailing commas
Example: 123456789,123456722,123789456,,,,,
When I try to use replace and replace the multiple commas with nothing it turns my gl codes into a scientific number (1.23456789123456E+26), but my cell is formatted to text.
The other problem is for numbers with a single trailing comma, it would also remove the commas between the GL codes
Is there a function that removes trailing commas, or commas that are not followed by numbers?
The below code removes trailing spaces, but for some reason it does not remove space from this, i clicked F2 and the space is still there, why does it work on some but not others?
98956P102
Sub test() With ActiveSheet.UsedRange .Value = Evaluate("if(" & .address & """"",trim(" & .address & "),"""")") End With End Sub
I am doing a vlookup on fields such as 02-0223. In one table, there is a space at the end of 02-0223 and in the other table, there is no space. How can I delete the space so the numbers match in vlookup?
I have an SQL query that returns some text data to a cell from another system. In this system the users sometimes enter superfluous carriage returns after the text.
Can someone tell me how to write a formula/VBA code that would remove the trailing carriage return/s.
Any easy way to remove all spaces from a cell, both leading and trailing? I find it hard to believe that Excel doesn't have this functionality. I don't particulary want to write a VBA script since I have never done it but if that's the only way, I'd love to know how to write it. I have looked everywhere but obviously not in the right places.
how to remove multiple leading and trailing spaces while leave spaces in the middle of the string in place? I have tried text to columns but this does not remove the multiple spaces.
I wrote a tool that people at work use. They initially need to paste in a bunch of customer locations with Address, City, State, Zip, etc. Sometimes the Users have "bad input" data that has non-breaking spaces, multiple space between words, or leading and trailing spaces and nonbreaking spaces. I have code to get rid of all of those problems. However, the Users often use their data for other important functions at work. So I want to give them a message to let them know that their Original Data is "bad".
So instead of just "Fix" . . . I want to "Report the problem", then "Fix". I need to identify exactly what problem was found - not just tell the User that their data is bad.
I wrote a simple Search routine with error handling that identifies 2 of the 4 cases and notifies the User: Case 1) ASCII 160 (non-breaking space, HTML   Case 2) multiple spaces (2 or more consecutive spaces) Case 3) Leading or Trailing Spaces (ASCII 032) Case 4 Leading or Trailing non-breaking spaces (ASCII 160, which is HTML  )
I cannot quite figure out how to find the 3rd and 4th Cases. If anyone can help me with Case 4 especially, then I can probably do the same thing for Case 3.
I think it will work to somehow use this idea - the code is not even real code but it is just conceptual: RIGHT(CellReference, 1) = Char(160) or Char(032) LEFT(CellReference, 1) = Char(160) or Char(032)
Anyway, here is what I have so far . . .
Sub NotifyBadInput ErrorFlag = False Cells.Select ' select entire worksheet
' BAD INPUT 1 - lLook for any occurence of ASCII 160 (non-breaking space, HTML  ) ' and Notify the User if any of his Input cells contain  's On Error Goto errormsg1 Selection.Find(What:="", After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt _ :=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:= _ False, SearchFormat:=False).Activate
While entering data space is given in the first and last of each cell content. For example
if there is a word Alex Patrix in a cell, space is given before A of alex and after x of Patrix. This is done fo many cells. I want to remove only initial and last space which is un-necessary. The space caused problem to compare cell so i've to remove space.
When I type a single lower case letter into a cell, what formula or conditional formatting should I use to always convert it to a capital letter automatically?
For the below formula is it possible to replace the B's (column location) with a cell Say Z146 which contains the letter B (or a number if thats easier and someone can tell me the numbers for each column).
When the formula is dragged into the next cell (down) it takes its column reference from Z147 and then my life becomes so much easier.
how to set the format of a cell such that it will automatically add trailing blanks to the data entered into that cell while fixing the number of characters that could be entered into that cell?
I would like to use the following code to produce a message with two numbers in it, both showing an exact golf handicap to one decimal point. If a number is exactly 6 I want it to show as 6.0.
All works well for the number I'm collecting from the user and storing in newh. But I can't retain/produce the trailing zero from oldh which is formatted in the spreadsheet as Custom 0.0.
I need a macro to do a comparison between two spreadsheets, and one part of it is throwing me, as I need to compare apples to oranges. Here's the situation:
Sheet A has the data noted like this: PAC 11000 11100 11500, etc.
All data should have 5 digits, and my numbers range from 11000 to 87028, though quite a few are skipped.
Sheet B has data like this: PAC 110 110-CBS 11000 11100-ING 112 11500-L
How can I change sheet B to: 1) Drop off the dash and anything following? 2) Add trailing zeroes to make sure all numbers are 5 characters in length?
I'm attempting to create a spreadsheet to calculate various things at my work, however I'm running into a problem that I can't solve. In one cell, I have a formula that returns an value to two significant figures. The number of decimal points that this value has is then used at various points throughout the sheet to truncate/round/etc. However, if the first value has a trailing zero as the second significant figure (ex. 0.20), that trailing zero is dropped. This creates problems since downstream calculations are then truncating to an incorrect number of decimal points. How to retain this trailing zero IF the formula results in one?
I am trying to create a CSV file to import all of our workers into a payroll software. Unfortunately the list of workers that I have been given to work with has a first and a last name together in one cell. I need to split them into separate cells so the data ends up in the right field in our software. By importing external data and separating the names with the comma as a delimiter, I have ended up with the first name in one cell and the second in another, which is exactly what I need. However, this process also ends up putting a quotation mark in front of the first names in the cells in column A, and a quotation mark after the second name in the cells in column B.
I remember to removing trailing spaces with a macro once, and I am hoping the same theory can be applied to make two macros - one to remove preceding quotation marks, and one to remove trailing quotation marks. The only trouble is, I know no VBA whatsoever, and don't even know how to make a macro unfortunately. Would someone mind letting me know if what I need is possible, and then - literally step by basic step - explain how to make a macro and provide the code to paste into it?
I have a spreadsheet with numbers of various lengths.
Sometimes they are preceded with a period and have one at the end as well.
Examples: of their present state
.11110000.111111.000000.
111111.1111111.000000.
100000.000000.0000.110001.
Examples: of desired state
10000.111111.000000
111111.1111111.000000
100000.000000.0000.110001
Is their a way I can create a new column and insert a formula, then drag it down so that it will delete the first or last character, if the character is a period?
