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 spreadsheet which is used by users unfamiliar with Excel. They are using the filter to select records, however when this is used some records appear which have no entry in the cells of that column. Can I overcome this? There is no data in the blank cells, other than a data validation drop down.
I have a data sheet which I need to filter in some way with multiple criteria. For example
I have a sheet called Training which has 4000 rows of data. Column F is labelled Cost ID and under this column I have 400 different IDs of which I need to see data for 155 out of the 400.
Is there a simple way of removing the unwanted data?
I'm needing some code that will remove an open quotation mark from the numerical value found in column A. This will be for every row with a numercal value.
example problem: "360015 example answer: 360015
All numbers will be 6 digits
And I've got another issue with numerals in column C. To the left side of the Cell there maybe a Number or Letter. To The Right side of the cell there will be a single or double digit number. Both will be separted by some space (6-8 spaces). As in the examples below: (again what you see on each line is in one cell in col. C.
R 59 E 6 0 4
I need the value on the left side of the cell to be moved concenate/merge with the values in column B.
There's will be approx 2000 rows that will need to be checked for this occurrance. Since there's so many rows, I'd really would like to use VBA and not formulas to accomplish this.
Hi, I have a report that has multiple lines for the same job with notes of issues and solutions. Each line has a date assosiated with it.
What I need to do is to delete all of the notes apart from the first one. I have attached a sample of the data and highlighted the rows that need to be kept.
I have left the data in it's raw form as it is not always extracted in date order.
Can anyone help me out with a Macro that will sort the data and remove all rows apart from the earliest note per job number?
I have an excel sheet with approx 30,000 rows of data.
These are all keyword phrases.
They can be related to any subject, but for this example these are related to the root keyword phrase of "car Rent"
I have some software which basically pulls in keyword phrases from search engines and meta tags etc, including misspelled keyword phrases.
My problem;
The data is uncleaned.
In other words there might be I think it's called "Carriage return" data in there, so the row of data might be very deep (Instead of a row height of say 10.5 it could be anything, IE some could be 100 or 200 even).
There are unwanted characters, for example; ()[]{}+?!""^*
(If it could delete all unwanted characters except for letters/digits) There is a problem I see, that if it removes _ or - between words, that it will join the words together which won't be of any use. If it deletes anything with a letter either side of it or a letter and digit, or 2 digits, 1 either side it would then need to add a space to replace the hyphen.
So for example; if there was a phrase in the list like ....
I have 1800 rows of bibliographic entries that are I am cleaning up. The first column imported with some numbers and spaces that I don't want. Here is an example of the variation:
Abdalla, C.W., 37 Abdalla, C.W., B.A. Roach, and D.J. Epp, 2 Abou-Ali, H and M. Belhaj,
I want all the rows to be like the first one, ie, no numbers and no spaces.
Need to find out how I can restrict a worksheet to show only the columns and rows that I want. For example, I want to show columns A to H, and rows 1 to 25, and nothing else - I don't want there to be a column G, or a row 26, just blank grey space. I know it's possible, because I've seen it done : D . But the closest I can get to is: View > Page Break Preview, which isn't quite what I'm after.
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.
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.
Is there an Excel function that can strip a specificed unwanted character from a text string to leave all the other characters excluding the unwanted one?
e.g. if the original text strings were (in separate cells within a workbook):
I'm sure you've all encountered that amazingly annoying glitch where you click on one cell and 4 or 5 others highlight with it. F8 does not do the trick to stop it. Sometimes changing the zoom will work to get it to stop, but not always (like now).
I shouldn't have to arbitrarily change the zoom on a sheet for Excel to start working properly.
I'm having the following little problem, and i'm hoping that someone here can help me solve it.
I have a number of rows containing data starting at row 1. I already made VBA code which finds the last row containing data. That row number is stored in the variable "LastRowWithData".
What i want to do now is the following.
In column B (in row 1 to the row number stored in "LastRowWithData"), there are long code's which all have to be checked for unwanted characters.
Some of these unwanted characters are the "I" and "O" characters both in upper case and lower case.
If these characters are found a messagebox has to appear, saying something like "Illegal character found in cell ____".
If more than one cell containing unwanted characters are found, either more messageboxes with the cell coordinates have to be displayed or one messagebox displaying all the cell coordinates in which the unwanted characters are found.
Im planning to use a while - wend statement to check all cells for unwanted characters. (While ActiveCell.Row LastRowWithData)
Is there a simple way to do this in (Excel 2003) VBA ?
I am aware this is probably very simple, but I haven't been able to find a usable macro yet. I would like the data in the workbook that is not "Tuesday" (column L) and is not "3" or "4" (column I) to be deleted. All rows that have "Tuesday" and either "3" or "4" should not be deleted. Each row that is not deleted must have Tuesday in column L. All other cells are blank intentionally. The workbook will remain the same titled WKBK1 (no need to put the output data in a separate workbook nor separate spreadsheet).
Do you know what the macro would be so I don't have to copy and paste a formula over a large number of cells?
After doing some searching I found a macro here which imports multiple text files into one workbook, keeping each text file as a seperate worksheet, each worksheet named the same as the original file name (minus the .txt extension).
However, it adds a blank line between each line of text. So I get this:

This doesn't happen when I use the import wizard, or when I just open the file from the File -> Open menu.
My text files are always the same format (number of lines, etc.), so it's easy to delimit and insert forumlae as needed, but those extra lines are breaking a macro I've previously written to parse the data.
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:
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.
Creating a project tracking sheet that is as automted as possible so that people dont have to populate lots. I have managed to get it to create a new sheet and populate according to a filled out combobox. The user then populates a 'milestone' section. When a button is clicked these are transferred to a GANTT chart type sheet and pasted. Before they are pasted the macro checks if the project title exists, if it does not it first pastes the title LEFT INDENTED. Then follows by pasting the milestones CENTRED. If the title exists, it inserts the milestones under the project title by copying and pasting all milestones. Hence, if milestones are regularly added, it will begin to add duplicates of the same milestone. I need to remove these. I would usually be able to do this however there is often the same milestone in numerous projects which I CANNOT remove as it would loose data. I would like a code that says between the cell I was searching for (Rng) and the next cell which is also left indented to remove duplicates. Basically I can't use x1enddown because it needs to stop at the next cell which has the same formatting... i.e. only duplicates to be removed out of the cells which are centred. I would then like it to repear this action for the whole document and move the next left indented cell and do the same.
It feels like a kind of backward conditional formatting is what I am looking for
Here is my code as it stands
Dim FindString As String Dim Rng As Range FindString = Range("D2").Value If Trim(FindString) <> "" Then
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.
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?...
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?
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.
