Removing Text
Dec 5, 2006i 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 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 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 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 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?...

The problem is for those names that come thorugh with the Letter and than the number...I don't need the names like that....I would like a Macro that would look at each cell in column A and remove that from those selected cells. I would like my result to look like this...

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.
Some code below which I have inherited, basically its looping through one column of data and removing the text at the beginning before the hyphen eg. '123 - data text' to 'data text'.

Dim CharOffset As Variant
Range("c7").Select

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 have a formula in a workbook that keeps giving me #DIV/0! no matter what I do. I am trying to total up a column of numbers. If I enter into B28 the following formula : =SUM(D4*E4)+(D5*E5)+(D6*E6)+(D7*E7)+(D8*E8)+(D9*E9)+(D10*E10)+(D11*E11)+(D12*E12)+(D13*E13)+(D14*E14 )+(D15*E15)+(D16*E16)+(D17*E17)+(D18*E18)+(D19*E19)+(D20*E20)+(D21*E21)+(D22*E22)+(D23*E23)+(D24*E24). it does not give me the #DIV/0! but the result is incorrect.
what I need is a formula that totals rows 4 through 24 but the formula for each row individually would be =(d4/b4*e4) but I am trying to avoid having to add multiple extra columns (& clutter) for each item in each row that I need to calculate. I have attached the workbook so that you can see what I am trying to do.
So I created a custom Add-In, but the add-in isn't removing itself when I uninstall it or when I close the program (this creates an error in saving files, so all files are getting corrupted)
This is all the code I have running the menu bar and I can't figure out the proper closing code
I am trying to organize some meteorological data for a project and I ran into a wall, basically I have 3 columns in one there is the date, in one the hour and in the third one the temperature the issue is that in the hour section i have the hour 12:00 that repeats its self , and this goes for the hole year , pretty much every day i have the hour 12:00 that repeats twice , so select for every Monday , Tuesday etc only certain hours.

It seems like I am asking a question at least once a day. I searched the net and forums and could not find an answer to this question. Thanks to everyone for the help I am making a lot of progress because all of you. Basically, I have a read-only workbook which the user gets a prompt to save as a new workbook for editing purposes. I have a autorun macro so now when the user opens their workbook, it contains my autorun macro. I do not want this. Is there a way to remove modules so that the users copy has no macro information?
View 9 Replies View Relatedi have columns of prices in 2 decimal format that I'd like to manipulate, some prices are whole dollars(no cents & no decimals ) and most are dollars and cents in decimal format-- but to do it successfully, i need the decimal removed. I looked at the "format" function but it doesn't seem to allow for that.
is there any way I can have these prices converted to "cent" format( ie removing the decimal, where applicable), showing them not as "dollars & fractions" but as "cents" i'm sure that would solve the problem for me last time I did it by hand and vowed there had to be an easier way!
I was wondering if anyone had a formula or Macro suggestion to remove rows with no information. I made a pivot table that feeds to another sheet in order to make it more user friendly. The only thing is when there is no information I have formula to returns a zero. I would rather the row be hidden.
