Replace Some Spaces & Append Text

Aug 30, 2007

I need help looking at text in a cell that has [] around it such as [big red trucks] and copy that text to the end of the cell and replace the "space' between the words and add '+' signs so the result looks like [big red trucks] [big+red+trucks].

example:

This is what the cell looks like before

[big red trucks] cost 5000 in store

This is what the cell needs to look like after

[big red trucks] cost 5000 in store[big+reg+trucks]

there may be additional text after the ']', I need the phrase with the + signs copied to the end of the cell

Append To & Replace Cell Data By Condition

Apr 8, 2008

I want to append / replace data in cells depending on the initial data.

A cell has the value 3AB00456 XYZ
I want to append the value with My
I want to check to see if the 4th & 5th characters = 00
If YES, I want to append the value with My and replace the rest with just the the 1st 3 characters So the final value would be My3AB
If NO, (the cell has the value 3AB02456 XYZ) I want to replace with a hyphen after the 3rd character and then the rest of the cell value. So the final value would be My3AB-02456 XYZ

I have several worksheets each with a column of about 2000 cells. I want to replace the data in the cells and not create another row with the result.

Replace Characters With Spaces?

Dec 10, 2011

A range of cells contain characters that i want to replace with spaces. The problem is that the length of the string differs and also the characters differ.

For example, below a list of cell values:

GR
GRKR
GRKRKR
GRKRK1
GRON
GRONBL

As a result for the first value i want 2 spaces, for the second one 4 spaces etc.

Is it possible to do this with a formula? I don't want to use VBA for this if possible...

How Can I Replace Zeros With Blank Spaces During Calculations

Nov 19, 2005

I am trying to get excel to sum totals, but exclude answers that are outside
of a certain range. I can get it to do this by using =IF(Z8>0.5,Z8,0).
However, I need it to display absolutely nothing in the cells, rather than a
zero because it alters future calculations.

Append Text To Existing Cell Text

Apr 1, 2008

I've got a sheet in which I want a drop down box, to ADD the value* to a cell, not overwriting its current value!

*The name of the selected option in the drop down box, the names are located in Map3!A1-n, I set the drop down box to display the related number in a cell next to it.

The cell would contain some text, and by selecting something in the drop down box, it would add the name of that option to the already existing value in the cell.

So if at first the cell's value is


Hi! I 'm Mark,

and you select the following option from the dropdown box


I 'm from Holland!

the cell would end with the value


Hi! I 'm Mark, I'm from Holland!

This would probably work with a macro, already made a start with it but I couldn't get it to ADD the value instead of overwriting it.

Append Cell Text To Textbox

Aug 11, 2007

I write a daily status report that adds my daily comment to a cell with previous text in it. I then paste it in three other cells. This process is slow and tedious since the text in the cell is now becoming extremely long due to organizational and managerial restraints of the existing format. I use cut and paste and manual enter, a alt + enter, to space new comment. I would like to be able to enter the text in a cell and have it update the comment cell with the text in it and to update the text box. I have reviewed the forum and have yet to find the answer and use of how else to pose the questions.

Append Text In One Cell And Delete Duplicate Rows

Jul 14, 2009

I have data that covers multiple rows that I need to merge into one row.

Header:| InvoiceNumber | Type | Name
Row1: | 1000 | Payor | Doe, John
Row2: | 1000 | Payor | Smith, Mary
Row3:| 1000 | Payee| Jones, Henry
Row4:| 1000 | Payee | Jones, Bob

I need to get those four example rows down to one row such as:

Header | InvoiceNumber | Payor | Payee
Row1: | 1000 | Doe, John & Smith, Mary | Jones, Henry & Jones, Bob

The number of payor/payee can vary between 1 and several. I need some way to loop through and keep appending the names in one cell separated by a "&". And then deleting all the duplicate rows (based on InvoiceNumber).

Combine Text Files And Append File Name Details To Each Record?

Apr 24, 2013

I receive 24,000 text files once a month that need to be combined into one csv/txt file and/or spreadsheet(tab).

About a year ago I posted a thread on the same topic which received a fantastic response from jindon that worked great

Unfortunately, the format in which the text files are ouput has changed, as has the filename layout. The files are now output with filenames such as:

(lic#, company name, displaying # records found, date, type.txt)

40298827_Windham Professionals Inc _Displaying records 1 through 10 of 100_041813_AGENTS.txt
40298827_Windham Professionals Inc _Displaying records 11 through 20 of 100_041813_AGENTS.txt
40303726_HEARTLAND CREDIT RESTORATION INC _EANF_041913_AGENTS.txt

(files with EANF in the filename have no records inside them and can be skipped)

While the contents of each file look like this: (see attached text file reference)

I would like to combine the contents of the text files while appending the lic#, company name and date from the filenames to each record so the resulting file looks like this:

40305196 Audette , Anthony Sales Provider 40298827 Windham Professionals Inc 041813
40313800 Burritt , Kimberly Sales Provider 40298827 Windham Professionals Inc 041813

As far as I can tell jindon's code is fine except the regex expression needs to be modified to handle the new layout, however that is far beyond me.

How To Append Sequential Number To A Text String To Avoid Duplicates

Jun 12, 2014

Is there a formula that will add a number, in sequence, to the end of a text string to avoid duplicates?

I need to generate an ID number for transactions. This ID number is the Account Code-Last Two #s of the Year-Unique 3-Digit Number. So for instance, 5022-14-001 means it is the first transaction from account 5022 in the year 2014.

Column A has the Account Codes. Column B has the date of the transaction in MM/DD/YYYY format. So far the formula I have is:

=CONCATENATE(A1,"-",RIGHT(YEAR(B2),2),"-",TEXT(????,"000"))

With ???? being some function or set of nesting functions I need to create the sequential number. It needs to be able to say "Okay, this is the third instance of there being a 5022-14, so we need to stick -003 at the end of this."

Additionally, this "003" needs to be frozen, so if we change how the sheet is sorted and the line item moves around, it will still always be "003".

I need a result of 057828001.

How do I retain the leading zero?

I want to get the extra space of and to the number format.

Eliminating Spaces Within Text Cells
