I have 2 columns of data which contains mainly numbers that are either 9 or 10 digits long. However some have got so words at he end which is what I want to remove. I thought of using text to colums but there is no space or symbol between the number and text.
An example is
0111111100ddddfffffddd
or
0222222222ddddd ffffff ddddd
An externally generated CSV file gives us one column which shows a location, year and then individual names in brackets, like so:
London 2013 (Firstname Lastname)
Delhi 2012 (Firstname Lastname)
I'm wondering if it is possible to separate out the text before the parentheses, so that I can show "London 2012" (for example) in another cell. The number of characters changes from row to row, so using the LEFT and RIGHT functions doesn't quite do the job.
I am trying to remove a middle initial from a text string however not all of the cells have middle initials. In column B I would like to return the first and last name. If needed I can have the first name in column B and the last in column C then combine them.
Example
John A Smith John Smith
John Smith John Smith
i would like to take the first letter of a cell and add 1000 to it.
At the minute, ive only been able to take away the first letter which isnt what i want to do
so far i had
=RIGHT(B1,LEN(B1)-1)
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 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?
Attached is a sample sheet with nine columns. Column D includes a name, but in many cases it is preceeded by: 'TO', 'BY', or 'OF' and a space which I need to remove (if they exist), leaving just the name. Please note that sometimes just the name exists so nothing needs to be done. I believe that in a jet sql querie I can use something like:

View 3 Replies View RelatedI belong to a fantasy cycling league and after every race, I copy the race results to award each rider their points for the day. The site I visit most frequently lists the riders results in this format:
1. Alberto Contador (Spa) Team Sax Bank Tinkoff 4:05:00
2. Lance Armstrong (USA) Team Livestrong etc... 4:06:00
I usually copy the results to my spreadsheet then calculate each riders points.
The'results end up looking like this in Excel:
1. Alberto Contador (Spa) Team Sax Bank Tinkoff 4:05:00
2. Lance Armstrong (USA) Team Livestrong 4:06:00
So, the data ends up in 3 cells. The position in one cell, the rider and their nationality and their team in another, and the time of arrival in another cell
Is there a way in Excel where I can get rid of or delete all the data after a rider's name?
I usually end up pasting the rider information to Word, then replacing the (***) with a tab symbol, then pasting back to Excel and get rid of the data that's after the name by deleting the cells to which that data was transferred.
Is there an easier way to do this in Excel, or a macro I can create?...

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 about 10,000 part numbers all with descriptions. These descriptions do not follow a uniform logic;
=============
Part 1: 5x10 Red Cotton candy
Part 2: Yellow 6/18 x7 TTC x11 Picture Frame
=============
My dilemma is that I need to figure out a way to remove everything aside from the "5x10" and "6/18 x7 TTC x11" from these descriptions. I just need the the item sizing.
What I've come up with so far is sorting items by description and working with batches of similar descriptions, then doing replace "Red*" with "blank". It works but it still takes me too much time and it's not perfect.
My question is there something else I can do that is easier and more accurate?
We often get spreadsheets from our customer that are formatted with both comma and dash combinations. We would like to only have the comma seperation.
Example:
R1, R2, R3-R5, R30
Result:
R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R30
There is usually only one alpha character but sometimes more. Example: CR1, CR2, CR3-CR5.
The following macro works great if there are no alpha characters. how to solve the alpha/numeric combination?
Function Nums(rng As Range) As String
Dim adnum As Integer, n As Integer, num, Txt As String
num = Split(rng, ",")

Any formula for removing text within multiple sets of parentheses?
I would like to take something like this: Compared with placebo, dimethyl fumarate was shown to be effective in the treatment of patients with MS in the phase 3 DEFINE (Gold R et al. N Engl J Med. 2012; 367:1098-1107) and CONFIRM (Fox R et al. N Engl J Med. 2012;367:1087-1097) trials. Common adverse effects associated with dimethyl fumarate that were observed in these trials included flushing and GI events, as well as decreased lymphocyte counts and elevated liver aminotransferase levels.
and have it read: Compared with placebo, dimethyl fumarate was shown to be effective in the treatment of patients with MS in the phase 3 DEFINE and CONFIRM trials. Common adverse effects associated with dimethyl fumarate that were observed in these trials included flushing and GI events, as well as decreased lymphocyte counts and elevated liver aminotransferase levels.
I wish to automate this task so formulas (if possible) are preferred. Totally cool with a multi-formula, many-columned solution - as long as this task is automated.
NB: Each cell will contain different text, so the sets of parentheses will appear in different places. The number of parenthetical sets may also vary from 1-5.
I am trying to write a VBA application within Excel to go through all Lotus Notes e-mails in a specific directory and save the attachment to a specific directory, remove the attachment and insert text into the e-mail in the spot the attachment was located that states "The attachment has been removed".
I'd also like to insert a 1KB text file into the e-mail that would be called "File Removed.txt" that would still allow you to quickly find the e-mails that had attachments because the little paperclip would show up.

I have text of size 14 and 18 mixed in cells in a column. Cells are font size 18 or mixed with both 14 and 18 size text. I need to sort out the text with one column of size 14 and another of 18 only. I am thinking of copying and pasting the column twice and run a macro in first column to remove the text of size 14, and another macro to delete text of size 18 in second column. I need the leftover text to be in same rows.
I tried everywhere and couldn't find a macro for mixed text cells. I am using Microsoft Excel 2010.

I need to do a lookup on these cells but for some reason they all appear to have some kind of space characters in each cell which you can see if you double click on them. I have tried trims, text to columns, find replaces and none of these seem to work
I have a huge list of these numbers / codes and they all have the weird space kind of characters at the end
Can anyone give me a solution on how to remove them so my lookup will work?
I have spreadsheet that was sent to me but for some reason column A-D do not have the grey grid lines. They have the row lines but not the column lines. The data fits into column A but when I click on Center it all disappears and and I have to open the cell up nearly half the page to view the data again.
I have attached a screen shot of the problem. What I need to know is how to undo that so that it has normal formatting like a new spreadsheet. excell.jpg

See the attached file. I regularly receive input files which I have to reformat and upload to a website as a .csv. The website does not like the / between the characters on the Input Data tab. Is there a way to automatically search and remove them and leave the rest of the characters intact? The columns do not always appear in the same order and there could be more or less columns. On the Import Template tab, columns A-I will always be there, so ideally the code should make the changes from the Input Data tab and copy the present columns (J thru whatever) header and data over to the Import Template tab starting in 'J1'. I think that VBA would be the best way to go due to the variable nature of the columns.

removing certain words/charactors in a cell.
For example, I have these information in 1 excel cell.
"Company allows staff to purchase small value items (items amounting to less than $3000) with approval from the staff's director."
So in this case, I need to remove the HTML/XML tags manually. Therefore, the final result should be,

It is very tedious with the huge amount of data to process.
I have a column with 11 digit numbers formatted as text (Column C) and it seems like there's three spaces after the number (In Sheet A). I am trying to do a vlookup comparing Sheet A to Sheet B. It's not working and not sure if it's the extra spacing in the cell of Sheet A that's causing the Vlookup not to work.
I would like to compare both lists to see what UPC's are on both sheets. Any ideas how I can do this?
