Return 1st Alphabetical Alphanumeric Text From Unsorted Range

Feb 15, 2008

I have a range of cells B2:20 which has text in it. The range is sorted by cells A2:20, and I would like to do this without doing another sort if possible. The data looks like this in column B:

CTR848
AWT101
LMT177
AZG884
BRE112
BCW333
CTQ553

In one single cell (O1), I'd like to have the information:

AWT101

Is this possible to do without using VBA?

Return Highest Alphanumeric Value From Range?

May 2, 2010

I have a simple list of alphanumeric asset numbers,

AKR DC 0001
AKR DC 0002
AKR DC 0004

And so on, I want to run a piece of code from a user form which will return the highest value in the range plus one on the numeric portion. I can find the largest value easily with a sort and last used cell value and I could drag out the numeric portion, increment and crowbar it back in but I'm sure there is a more elegant way.

All asset codes follow the same naming convention and all reside in column a of the active worksheet.

Return Value Based On Last Number In Alphanumeric Text

Jan 25, 2008

I want to be able to return a text string of either Trainee 1 or Trainee 2, (or default to other text) based on codes that are 4 digits (DD01, KKB1, KKB2, KKC2, GG03, etc, where starting with K and ending with 1 or 2 is the criteria for TR 1 or TR 2 . There are two many KK** items to list them all in an If statement and I can't seem to use a wildcard.

=IF (right(c1,1) = "1", "Trainee 1", B1)

gets me halfway there I think but of course doesn`t pick up Trainee 2 and also returns Trainee 1 when it sees DD01.

How To Insert Text Field Into Appropriate Worksheet Based On Alphabetical Value

Oct 10, 2011

Im trying to make a simple macro for cataloging some equipment and where its located.

I've created a user form where there is a free text field for Equipment. Instead of just inserting this entry into the first available cell, i would like for it to place it in the first available cell under the corresponding first letter of the equipment to the named worksheets A-Z.

I have named the worksheets A through to Z, and upon entering the free text 'Equipment' name, say for instance Trolley, for it to recognise the T, open the worksheet named T and insert the equipment name and location etc across the first free column.

how to extract names from a worksheet and put them in another by alphabetical order?
There are 6 “could be more” blocks of data on Monday’s Worksheet, not all rows of each block will be filled. The idea is put the data from Monday WS in List WS without spaces and by alphabetical order. Because my English is not good enough, I attached a file with what I need.

I have a column with a list of SKUs (item identifiers) that are actually combination of letters and numbers. They start with one of the following 4 letters: A, B, C, D

=IF(MATCH(B4,'Developed Country List'!$A$2:$A$37,0), "Developed", "Emerging")

Alphanumeric Counter (automatically Populate A Column With An Alphanumeric)

Jun 23, 2009

I need to automatically populate a column with an alphanumeric MFR0001 to MFR9999 and am currently using the formula below to add 1 to the start point (A1)...

A1=MFR0001
Formula in A2 =LEFT(C1,3)&(RIGHT(C1,4)+1)

This works perfectly if I start at MFR1000, but breaks and drops the 000 if I use it on the number I need to start with (MFR0001).

Search Range Of Cells For Text And Return Value Below It - Sum If More

May 12, 2014

I want to search within cells A4:F25 for "B71 - Brown" and show the number that is in the cell below this text. If there is multiple cells with "B71 - Brown" I would like the cell to show the total.

So for example,If the formula was looking for "B71 - Brown" in the cell it would show 8136. (A13+A21+D25+E17). If i changed it to "Lavender" it would show 2380. (C5)

Also this data is linked from several other sheets and the values i search for will change and will need to update.

Return Text Based On Number Range

Aug 27, 2007

I have a range of some 2,000 plus cells that are various numbers in them only. What I want to be able to apply is a macro that will look at the number in a cell and if the result is between a set range, produce a text, eg.

If the number is between 0 - 999 then insert text [url] this is where you go'.
If the number is between 1000 - 1999 then insert text [url] this is where you go 2'
If the number is between 2000 - 2999 then insert text [url] this is where you go 2'
etc.

I have up to 11 ranges of numbers to insert (up to 10000 - 19999).
So the text is the result of the formula.

Search For Number Within Alphanumeric Text?

Oct 2, 2012

I have data on two spread sheets which I am trying to cross reference. On the 1st spread sheet I have a list of product codes e.g. 22886, On the 2nd Spread sheet I have a list of product titles which all include product codes within the text e.g. CHRISTMAS FANCY DRESS COSTUME - SANTA SPARKLE OUTFIT 22886 M

I need to insert a formula into the 1st spread sheet which will tell me if based on the product code it is present in the 2nd spread sheet. I have tried VLOOKUP and I think because I am trying to search for a code within a text string it keeps failing! All cells are general cells but the position of the code within the titles varies.

Stripping Text From AlphaNumeric Strings

Aug 29, 2006

I'm working on an attendance spreadsheet that shows the employee's absence using the format "X####", where X can be one of the following three values: S(for sick time), P(for personal time), and V(for vacation); "####" is the number of hours absent (can be from 0.25 to 8.0,measured in 15-minute increments, # can be either a digit from 0 to 9 or a decimal point, and there can be from 1 to 4 characters, but must be >0(I'm not worried about data validation yet).Examples are P8.0, V.5 (V0.5), S2.75,etc.

The spreadsheet is laid out such that each row represents an employee, and each column is a workday. After the employee's information are three columns labeled P,V, S. I'm trying to generate a formula that when applied to an employee's row, will display a running total of the absent hours based upon personal, vacation, or sick time taken. We'll call the range "CAL"(Short for calender)

To strip out the numeric characters on the right, I use the formula RIGHT(CAL, (LEN(CAL)-1)). To Determine which column the data should be summed in, I use the formula LEFT(CAL,1). Blank Cells are permitted, in fact most of the row will be blank. Now that I've figured out how to strip out the alpha from the numeric, how can I get the totals? I apologize for writing "War and Peace," but I wanted to be as concise as possible-

Extract Text From Alphanumeric String

Jul 16, 2007

I need to extract just the text from cells which contain both letters and numbers. There can be one or two letters, followed by one, two or three numbers. (For info, these are chemical elements and their masses). So for instance,a cell could contain anything from the following B9, B11, S32, Ca44, Mo100, I129, Th226, U238 etc etc. I know I've seen this done before, but I can't find it now. It also has to be formula based, not using VBA.

Pull Numbers From Alphanumeric Text

Aug 30, 2007

The title of this thread is the best way I can describe what I wish to accomplish. You see, I have a column of information requests in an Excel spreadsheet, each of which his tagged with an alphanumeric request number, and I wish to sort and/or perform and min/max function on the request identification. However, each ID has a IDR in front of it - for instance, IDR000452 - and the letters make the system read the contents as text. Does anyone know of a formula I can use to create a new cell which contains only the numerical contents of the above example?

Increment Number Within Alphanumeric Text

Apr 4, 2008

Is it possible to increment / decrement cells using wild characters? I've found myself needing to increment values at different position, for e.g. :

ABC-###-FR05-AB
ABC-222-FR##-AB
C##445-KJ

where I would want to be incrementing # placeholders. It would help if I can give it a start number, and the increment amount (which can be different than 1).

What about possibly extending it a bit more to include two or more place holders at the same time as follows:

ABC##- FR*** (where # would have its own starting number and increment value, and * would have its own).

Return TRUE If Part Text Found In Cell Range

Feb 27, 2012

The formula has to include a range across each row (for each student). The formula has to search for specific text contained in the classnames, and then return the result along the same row.

Below is an example, which I hope saves OK in the thread. If not I'll upload an Excel file:

A B C D Results:-
1 class1 class2 class3 class4 Gg Hi Fr Sp
2 10m/Gg1 10m/Hi2 10m/Fr1 10m/En1 TRUE TRUE TRUE FALSE
3 10n/Hi1 10n/En2 10n/Sp1 10n/Ma1 FALSE TRUE FALSE TRUE
