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?
The issue I'm having is that the postcodes aren't in the same place in order to use LEFT, RIGHT or MID functions, and they aren't always proceeded or followed by dashes or spaces in the same way.
I need the returned postcodes to come back in a uniform way so that any duplicates are grouped by the relevant pivot table.
I'm trying to automatically add and remove one criterion from an autofilter without disturbing the previous existing criteria The autofilter code sounds like this:
How would I go about referring to this array and adding another item called "Hard" to any pre-existing elements in this array?
I plan on attaching this code to a button and use it as a filter, so when the button is pressed, the item will be added to the list of criteria, and if it is "un-pressed" the item will be removed.
I'm trying to convert some data which excel is reading as text into numbers for example I have:
[Code] ......
All the numbers I've imported from an app analytics company into excel which are greater than 1.0 appear as numbers (to the right side of the cell) and all the numbers less than 1.0 appear as text (to the left side of the cell). I want all the numbers appearing as text to appear as numbers so I can multiply them with other cells.
I've clicked format cells - number but this has no effect. I click format cells -protection - unlocked but this has no effect.
I have thousands of rows with all numbers less than 1.0 as text instead of numbers. What's the easiest way to mass convert them all to numbers seeing as the above options haven't worked.
I don't want to have to click through thousands of rows to edit it manually...
I have a column C with different text in cells (item's title). Column D - relevant description for each of the items. 100+ rows.
Now, unfortunately, often a spreadsheet with items is updated with many new items. So I get a new spreadsheet with old and new items mixed. I need, somehow, to import descriptions of the old items (Column D of the old spreadsheet) to the new spreadsheet from old spreadsheet. So I want excel to look for old items in column A of the new spreadsheet and, once found, insert a description in the column B from old spreadsheet.
Which would be fine if the description in column B of my data only appeared once.
How do I sum the total of all those that have the same description?
Data Example
Column A Column B Column C
Code Description Value SL10107 Test Data £100.00 SL10107 Test Data £100.00 SL10107 Test Data £100.00
Using the formula {=IFERROR(INDEX(Column C,MATCH(1,(Column A=SL10107)*(Column B=Test Data0,0)),"0.00")} I get the answer £100, i.e. it is Matching the Code SL10107, and then matching the Description of Test Data and then returning the first value, £100. However I would like to sum these entries and get the answer of £300.
I have two sheets. One is a Master which has all of the following information in each column. Product ID = A, Product Name=B, Price=C, Category=D ,Product Description =E,
The other sheet Is a updated product description.
Now I want to Be able to copy and add the new descriptions into the Master but not sure how to add them so they will fall into the proper spot according to the Product ID... There are not descriptions in the Update sheet for all the Product IDs in the Master.
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 form for calculating costs of products ordered which imports quantity and descriptions from another sheet. The imported info and basic calculation of appropriate cost based on ordered quantity seems to work okay. These formulas are as follows:
First column: =IF(ORDER!A5>0, ORDER!A5, "") inserts the quantity ordered Second Column: =IF(ORDER!A5>0, "Part Description and Part Number", "") inserts the product description
Both those formulas return a blank cell if nothing is ordered. Then using an outlying cell (G3) I enter the following formula to determine appropriate cost based on total order quantity e.g. $2.57ea if total ordered quantity is less than 50 and $2.37 if total quantity is greater than 50.. {Q: How do I put a third pricing level in here??}
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:
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 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 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.
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:
I 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...

In Column B, it will display the item cost as either a numerical value, (example $1.00) or it will say "disco" for discontinued.
I want to update the item description in Column A by adding the work "disco" if Column B display's "disco". If column B display's any numerical value (0-999999999) then I would it to do nothing.
Searching a text string on Sheet 1 to see if it contains any item in a list (on Sheet 2 Column 1) and if so return the value of Sheet 2 Column 2 next to the list item found?
It's a budget problem: Sheet 1 has my downloaded Visa statements. I want to categorise all items.
Eg Any item containing the string 'safeway' is categorised as 'General expenses'. So the list on Sheet 2 has an item called 'safeway' and in the next column 'General expenses'.
And for the item on Sheet 1 'BPAYN BUPA AUSTRALIA BPAY MBF monthly' I have an item in Sheet 2 that is simply 'BUPA' with category 'Medical expenses'.
VB: 'enables user to click [U]highlight and select[/U] an item in ListBox1 and ListBox2 item (same row in index) is also [U]highlighted[/U] (highlighted only not selected) Private Sub ListBox1_Click() ListBox2.ListIndex = ListBox1.ListIndex End Sub
Question: Is it also possible to enable a user to click to select an item in ListBox1 and ListBox2 item is also selected simultaneously (same row in index). Is there excel vb code to do this?
I think the code may be along the lines of the ListBox SelectedIndex property. What would be the Excel VB code equivilant for the ListBox SelectedIndex property, if so?
I have two sheets, one of which contains film names and the other contains our tag structure for our website (which is a list of tags, their keywords and the primary parent channel they live under).
What I am trying to do is search the film titles and if any of the words match either the tag name or keywords then return the relevant channel.
Example:
Sheet 1 - Films How To Apply Bridal Makeup How To Fight A Donkey How To Write Excel Formulae
Sheet 2 - Tags Channel / Tag / Keywords Tech - Microsoft - windows vista xp word excel Tech - Computers - internet pc Tech - MP3 Players - iPod Zune
So, for film 3 on Sheet 1 it would recognise the word Excel in the keyword list and return the channel Tech.
