In my spreadsheet, column A, I have a list is part #'s. I have found at the end of my part #'s there are several spaces in each cell. I need to remove these from the cells so that my formulas will be easier to use. Is there a way to do this? The part #'s very in length and format. They would look like this "100020x0 ".
View 2 RepliesI have some data that is seperated by spaces. I need to split the data so each is in a seperate cell and then remove the spaces. I can do this if there is only one space inbetween the data, but that is not always the case. I attach a workbook with examples.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have come up with this to Trim all of the data from rows 2:30 removing any trailing spaces after the last word in each cell. The macro takes a couple of minutes to run have I got something wrong that is making it run slowly or does the Trim process just take longer?
Sub TRIM_RANGE()
Dim myRange As Range
Dim myRow As Range
Sheets("CAMPAIGNS_2007").Select
Set myRange = Range("2:30")
If myRange Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
Application. ScreenUpdating = False

For Each myRow In myRange.Columns
If Application. CountA(myRow) > 0 Then
myRow.TextToColumns Destination:=myRow(1), _
DataType:=xlFixedWidth, FieldInfo:=Array(0, 1)
End If
Next myRow

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 a file with thousands of records and on the name field, I have case like this:

I have cells in a sheet containing varying numbers of items separated by semicolons. I want to convert these to columns using text to columns. The trouble is there are spaces after each semicolon, and I don't know how to get rid of them. I believe this may be compounded by the fact that the cells containing varying numbers of items. When I convert to columns I don't want each cell in the new columns to start with spaces. I'm attaching an example of what I mean (sanitized with fast food joint names).

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?

Am i able to remove blank spaces from cells retrospectively?
i.e. i have 1000 cells with names appearing in a cell thus " john smith" i want it to be "john smith".

I'm compiling several old worksheets into a single database for a research study. The worksheets contain patient data. Some of the worksheets have the patient's last name, first name, and middle initial entered all in one cell like this: Smith,John R. Compounding the problem is the fact that sometimes the name is entered with a space between the comma and the first name, sometimes not.
I have formulas to break the name out into three separate columns "lName, "fName", "midInit". However, if the name in the original cell has a space between the coma and the first name, then the “fname” column will contain a blank space in front of the name. This is problem because patients names can appear in the database more than once. Some patients are in the database several times.
If patient “John R. Smith”, for example, is entered in the database as”
“Smith” “John” “R “
and also as
“Smith” “<space>John” “R”
then the database won’t recognize them as the same name when I search for John Smith’s data. Right?
If so, then I need a way to eliminate the empty spaces in front of the first names. Like I said, some have empty spaces and some don’t. I could do this by hand, but there are over 1000 entries in these worksheets.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI've inherited this monster of a spreadsheet that is consistently being added to and updated. Everyweek a new column is added and data entered. When one row is done, it gets cut and pasted to the Inactive sheet; however, the problem I am encountering if that the rows all have different amounts of columns, depending on when they were added and how long the items were on the sheet.
For example:
A
B
C
D
E
F
G
H
I

So when I go to move row 1, when it becomes inactive, to the Inactive sheet, I have 8 columns of data that I need to cut and paste to make it line up with that sheet, which goes monthly. Is there any way to automatically cut out the empty columns of data for each row so that it can be condensed, rather then going through each one?

I can do this manually (by inserting two cells), but I wondered if there is a way to do this automatically?
(I have a column organised with the spaces immediately to the left of the column I want to change.)
I have a macro which opens one excel file, then copies the data into another, dead easy. However the first file is 'downloaded' from a bespoke package, where (for whatever reason) the package appends a number of spaces (" ") after data in one of the columns,
So sometimes the data will contain one, ten or more extra spaces (no telling how many) ie, it could look like "AB ", "AB ", or "AB " etc
Ideally What i need is a small bit of code that once the data has been imported to my sheet it can run and 'strip' extra spaces from the column, lets say column f, to leave all the data in this column to look like:
"AB"
"AF"
"CD1"
"VFE"

I have a combination chart with data from Sun thru Sat (7 days). My manager wants to display only the weekday data (M,T,W,Th,F) and remove the weekend data (Sat,Sun). However, I also need this data to be included in other charts I need. I was thinking in years past, that I was able to remove specific data from the chart directly without having to alter or change the spreadsheet data? I have copied a second set of data and hid the weekend data, however, I have gaps in the data, which I need to remove in the chart display. Not sure what to do, or the best avenue?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have two columns D and E that contain dates and values. Column D has the dates and Column E contains the corresponding values.
I need a macro to take all of the dates in column D (it is pulled from a different macro so the length of the two columns varies every time but starts at D2) and paste the first value in W1, the second value in AE1 , and so on (every eight cells).
I need to do the exact same thing with Column E except start at Y1, then AG1, etc (still every eight cells).
I will try to post an example later.
