View 5 RepliesI have an excel sheet with one column having one sentence in each cell of the column (rest all the cells of the sheet are vacant).
Now, i want to 'find' and 'remove' a list of pre-specified stop words such as "a", "the", "it", "of", etc. from every sentence and then get the resulting sentence pasted in the adjacent columns cell.
(Also for example the word "a" should be removed only when it is a separate word and not part of a word. Likewise for other stop words).

EX:
A1:what is your name 1234

I play an online browser game and I've made a spreadsheet for tracking various aspects of the game.
I do okay with the simple formulas and can haphazardly get excel to do what I want it to do. But for a few things I want it to do, I've run into a wall...
Here is the first one:
In the game, I receive reports like this:
One of your fleets (Large Cargo:5 ) returns from [2:100:9] to Planet [2:101:13] . The fleet is delivering 58.679 Metal, 28.750 Crystal and 11.521 Deuterium.
I want to be able to copy that, and past it into A1. Easy enough, but here's the tricky part. I want excel to be able to automatically extract the numbers in front of metal, crystal, and deuterium into their own separate fieilds. So that in this instance B1 would display 58,670, C1 would display 28,750, and D1 would display 11,521.
The amounts can vary anywhere from 1 to 9,999,999 (but there will be no negative numbers), and in some cases the number would end in 0 (I've seen where that makes a difference in some formulas for some reason).
If it makes it easier, the copy/paste could be reduced to:
The fleet is delivering 58.679 Metal, 28.750 Crystal and 11.521 Deuterium.
I have a column of data which has numbers and units (small example below).
I need to remove the text (units) and at the same time multiply the number by a value which is based on what the text is:
-999.9uA needs to become -999.9*10^-6
-98.40mA needs to become -98.40*10^-3
I currently am pasting data that in some cases there are numbers at the end of a list of names e.g Andy Cole10 or James Banks3.
I have used a formula before that seperates the numbers into another cell but now i need only the text and not the number.using A & B column as example and i can adjust the range.
I've put together a macro to format an extract from a fuel report but at the end of it I need to remove numbers in front of drivers names.
E.g.
1. John smith
10. Joe bloggs
123. Peter piper
Should end up as
John smith
Joe blogs
Peter piper
All without the number, full stop and the space before the name.
I have been sent a list of 600 names in the format of 1. john smith 2. jane doe 3. tim smith ect.... how do I remove the numbers without going to each individual cell and manually deleting it?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a spreadsheet which reads:
A1 E012345678
A2 126789433
A3 ABCDEFGH
A4 CDEEGFFH
A5 E0456783
A6 98765432
etc.
I need only the the data in Cells A1 A5 etc. which means the 3 cells below (A2, A3, A4 ) should be deleted. A5 I need the data, and then A6, A7, A8 I do not need ... A9 need and so on.
the data should be in in one below the next with no spaces in between.
Data is only in column A.
i have a sheet dealing with part numbers and a paramiter exported from a programme.
L=1000MM | L/R is an example.
now
i use replace to get rid of everything before the number but anything after the mm is totaly different most of the time.
is there a way that i can get rind of anything after, and including, the mm?
or by some chance a command that will just leave me with the number allone?
I have a limited amount of VBA knowledge. My limited knowledge is based on solving my problems by looking at the answers already on this site and trying to adapt it to my needs. Here goes:
I import a list of address and telephone numbers (100+) into excel. example - Cell A1 contains "10 downing street, whitehall, london, SW1A 2AA 01234 567890", sometimes there is another space after the number, sometimes there is no telephone number. I want to remove the telephone number at the end if it is there. Have searched the forums have have come up with the follow solution:
1. import list to column A
2. copy and paste Trim to column B
3. copy values in column B and paste to column A
4. delete column B
5. remove the end numbers
6. copy and paste Trim to column B
7. copy values in column B and paste to column A
8. delete column B
9. remove the end numbers
It looks like this in code:
Sub testa()
'select (=TRIM(A1)) formula and paste to sheet
Sheets("Formulas").Select
Columns("B:B").Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Selection.Copy
Sheets("Sheet4").Select
Columns("B:B").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
[Code]...
'copy values of column B to Column A and delete column B
Columns("B:B").Select
Selection.Copy
Columns("A:A").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
Columns("B:B").Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Selection.ClearContents
Range("A1").Select
[Code]...
'copy values of column B to Column A and delete column B
Columns("B:B").Select
Selection.Copy
Columns("A:A").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
Columns("B:B").Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Selection.ClearContents
Range("A1").Select
End Sub
I know this is a long winded way around (still chuffed I worked it out by myself though!). If I merge all the macros into one marco it continually loops and deletes everything in the cells and I have to press escape to stop it.
My questions are:
1. Why, when I merge all the macros doesnt it work the same as individual macros? (I would like to know for future reference).
2. Its there a better way to remove the telephone numbers?
I have a bunch of cells that have City and Zip Code combinations.
Ex: Chicago 606
Fayettville 72701
SACRAMENTO 95691
Some of them are 3 digit zips and others are 5 digits. I just want to weed out anything with a number leaving the city names.
I have a huge column of data. This data has few prefixes that I need to remove. I have a list of possible prefixes. Some prefixes are 1,2,3 or 4 characters long. Could you please suggest best way of removing these prefixes (VBA if possible)?
Following are some of the examples of prefixes:
AB
GD
KR
BCD

I'm trying to remove all the numbers of a phone number an keep the are code for 2000+ phone numbers.
ex. 111-222-9999
I want to remove the 2's and 9's but keep the 1's.
I have a list full of different IDs with different version numbers (This format: AKH123.1).
I'm trying to clean the list - removing all duplicate IDs but leaving only the largest version number.
I managed to remove the last digit using LEN/VLOOKUP and removing duplicates, but leaving only the largest version number is too tricky for me. I've thought about trying something with LARGE but can't wrap my mind around it.
My thought process went like this: I want to find all occurrences of "AKH123" and return the largest one.
The list contains about 8000 entries and this would save en enormous amount of work.
Here is a tiny portion of the list:
AKH450.1
AKH451.1
AKH451.3
AKH451.4
AKH451.5
AKH451.6
AKH451.7
AKH451.8
AKH452.1
AKH453.3
AKH454.1
AKH455.1
AKH455.2
I have a spreadsheet with Mobile phone numbers in the following format:

I am using Microsoft Office for Mac 2011
i have a list of 2000 fields which have the same format IE "AB10014"
I need to remove the "AB" from every field and leave the #.
Besides putting a space and running text to columns I'm not sure how.
Is there a way to get Excel to automatically change the first letter into an uppercase when we start a new sentence just like MS Word ?

im having trouble getting this date to format in a sentence
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to format a number within a sentence? i.e.
In cell A1 I have 2,000 entered and formatted as a number. In cell A2 I type in ="How can I format "&A1&" ?"
When I do this, the result in A2 is How can I format 2000?
Is there a way to format the 2000 to show the thousand separator comma? If the number were -2,000 instead, is there a way to show both the comma and parentheses around the number? (without putting the parentheses manually into the formula)?
looking for an equation or macro that can extract numbers out of a sentence.

i really don't know what would be the title, so just hoping that's good for you guys. by the way i need some tricky formula. i have a sentence like this:
Black shoes $250.00, Plasma TV $1,000.00, date to be paid 11/29/09, remaining amount $10,000.00, Computer package $16,000.00.
i want this to be (in different cell):
Black shoes $250.00
Plasma TV $1,000.00
date to be paid 11/29/09
remaining amount and so on...
I did text to columns, but the problem is the amount that has "," really bothers me. can someone give me some tips to do this?
I use the following code. I want to make Replace only in the case which there is a whole word in a part of a cell, but not in part of specific characters.
Example: In the code i want to replace the word "to" but replaces all the words that contains "to". For example in the word together lets only the characters gether, and in the word tonight lets only the characters night etc.

I'm running 2007, and have a mailing list that is setup - A1 = text(full name of company), A2 = text(full street address, city, state, zip) NO PUNCTUATION.
I have been able to separate each word for the address line, but this leaves me with many different length addresses spread out over different cells, so taking just the city state and zip is not feasible in large numbers. I have over 10,000 of these listed down column A1.
I need to be able to extract city, state, and zip, (There is no punctuation in the address line)and put them all in one cell, for the third line of the address box. I need them to cut from the source, also - leaving the source only the street address.
=IFERROR(SEARCH("[",string,1),MID(string position,start of char,length of char))
Hi I wish to pull out the characters from a sentence. Once it detects the "[" from the sentence it should pull the string that follow limiting to the length of the character.
It looks like I did something wrong and the results shows only the position of "[" only.
I want to error check because it to return nuthing if there's no value. IF statement would process errors in this case.
I know the PROPER function will convert all text to capitalise each word, is there a formula that can convert only the first letter to caps and the rest to lower case?
