I have a file of names that has some undisplayable characters. I am trying to match against a different file. It works if I overtype the "blank" fields with a space. How can remove these trailing problem characters whatever they are? I tried CLEAN and TRIM and the mystery characters are still there.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a list that contains names in the format
Lastname, first name
But some of the names have no space after the comma - which is what I am trying to achieve here
For example,
Citizen, Joe
Citizen,Joe
I would like to insert a space after every comma in the name, when there is no space. I am looking at a formula based approach to solve this.
using this format *.#,##0_);*.(#,##0);*.0_);@*. I get this:
Bonds..................................
would like custom format to do this,
Bonds . . . . . . . .
note:@ sign activates text formatting, *=repeats .=character being repeated
I've tried putting space characters before and after the period - no luck
I am trying to create a macro that will create a comma and space between every 5th character within a cell. that would be preference #1. What I decided to go with for now, instead, is to try (using the macro recorder) text to columns, fixed width, and do this after every 5th character, and selecting each cell to be formatted as text.
What I am having difficulties with is trying to tell the macro which cells to touch and which ones not to. I do not want the macro to do text to columns and fixed width on simple text. I only want it to do the macro when it is a string of numbers that, during transfer from PDF to excel, have been concatenated into one cell. I also want the macro to do this for infinite number of rows. I have excel 2007.
I am attaching a small excel file with examples of data I am working with. I have saved this excel file as a 97-2003 version for those who do not have 2007. As I stated, if anybody can help me figure out how to do a simple insert comma space every 5th character where information has been concatenated, that would be preference. Also, I am not trying to change anything within column A. Only column B. On the sample file please note B3 - B6. Rows 5 & 6 are fine as they are. Other problem rows include B11 - B13
My problem is that I am trying to use REPLACE function but I do not know where my starting point is.
I have last name first that you don't know how many characters will be, then empty space which is 7 characters long. How can I tell REPLACE formula where to start replacing empty spaces with comma?
Example:
Johnson John
I need to replace with Johnson, John.
I have the following code which is save Sheet as a text file. I know there are some options in Excel for saving, but it is not saving as ".txt" file.
I would like to modify this code to replace blank space with comma between Cells.
PHP
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
' Save file name and path into a variable
template_file = ActiveWorkbook.FullName
' Default directory would be c:temp. Users however will have the ability to change where to save the file if need be.
' Notice that i'm only allowing the save as option to be of .txt format.
' I'm also attaching the current date to the file name............
I have some files with filenames like text-text-text-text.lastname.xlsm. When I go to save the file, Excel keeps removing the period between the last "-text" and "lastname". change the structured filenaming convention? So far, I've noticed that this seems to happen with .xlsm file extensions, but not with .xlsx file extensions.

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 ?
Table A: I have data separated by coma & space in cells A1:A4
A: Data Table
*A110, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60
211, 21, 31, 41, 51, 70
316, 19, 37, 48, 59, 81
418, 23, 33, 42, 57, 78
Table B: I want to calculate difference between cells A1:A2, A2:A3 and so on…
And if it is possible as shown in cell B2:B4
B: Result Table
*AB110, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60
211, 21, 31, 41, 51, 70
+1, +1, +1, +1, +1, +1
316, 19, 37, 48, 59, 81
+5, -2, +6, +7, +9, +11
418, 23, 33, 42, 57, 78
+2, +4, -4, -6, -2, -3
Separating cells A1:A4 data in separate cells can do this.
But if it is possible solution can be done as shown by VBA will be greater.
I have a set of data in a column and I'm trying to add them but can't because of the way it was imported. Each cell has a number with a space at the end. How do I remove that space without having to manually go in there and deleting via F2 > backspace, F2 > backspace, and so on.

I have a huge data file that must unfortunately be mandatorily downloaded in a single column format, with coma delimitation for each separate piece of data instead of a space, as follows: 08/04/2009,158,7,1849,1184,824451,403711
What I need to do is put each of the bits of data (coma separating each bit) into a separate column, so that each piece may be further processed. Is there a simple way to do this? Would be happy just pasting the data to a new worksheet, if there was a simple way to remove the coma, create a space between each number, and automatically place each piece of data into a separate column.

I am familiar with the "Text to Column" feature, the use of SUBSTITUTE Function, a short macro and also the Find&Replace is also a good idea but, as far as I understand,
it must be run Twice(!)
I am looking for a way to use Find&Replace in "One! shot" - meaning, to put the TWO different(!) characters [ the '=' and the " ] in the 'find what' window,
leaving the 'replace with' window empty.
I know that something similar to that can be done in a "Word" document - but can it be accomplished in Excel?
I believe I should use the INSTR function, but I simply dont understand its use very well. I have a string in a cell, "MEAS/SPHERE,F(QUA_1),5", the characters I need start at the "(" and end at the closing ")", ref: (QUA_1). The start and end will always be the same, the length of characters and the spelling of characters be anything. Thus, QUA_1 can be CAL_1, CAL_2, SOMEOTHERTEXT_1 or 187bgo_199, etc, always enclosed in "( )". I wish to place the characters and the closing "( )" into a variable as a string.
