Is it possible to take a list that is alphabetized in the following manner--Jones, Mary--, convert it to Mary Jones while also removing the comma after the name?
The =TRIM and =MID formulas that I saw in another thread both seem to convert the text, but they also leave the comma at the end.
I need a formula to remove all alphabet in a cell,for instance:-
A1=130 sheets returns 130
A2=118pcs returns 118
A3=approx123 returns 123
How to remove the first charcter that contains comma, like this :
,001,003,005 and i want the result is --> 001,003,005.
I'm doing data clean up for a client & have run across data that contains a comma at the end. They've supplied it to me this way & from what I can see it just ends (there is no space after the final comma) IE:
Cheerful, Chipper, Convivial, Delighted, Ecstatic, Elated, Exultant, Pleasant, Pleased, Sparkling, Sunny, Tranquil, Unadorned, Symphony,
The next row may be similar in descriptors but not contain the extraneous comma at the end. IE:
Compassionate, Tender, Calm, Countrified, Priestly, Tranquil, Unadorned, Symphony, Pastoral
Is there a way to remove the final comma in the fields where it's just "dangling" at the end but not remove it from the fields that don't contain the extraneous comma?
Obviously Find & Replace doesn't work because I need the commas to remain throughout the rest of the data. I've searched the boards & have not found a formula that works... I'm going a bit cross eyed at the moment & with thousands of rows to go through, I'd hate to have to remove the ending comma's one at a time!
The below function concats a range of cells by csv. How can I get it to remove the last comma in the string when it's finished?
Function SpecialConcatenate(rnge As Range) As String
Dim r As Long, col As Integer
For c = 1 To rnge.Columns.Count
For r = 1 To rnge.Rows.Count
If rnge.Cells(r, c) "" Then
SpecialConcatenate = SpecialConcatenate & _
rnge.Cells(r, c).Value & ","
End If
Next r
Next c
End Function
I need to remove the last character in a cell if it is a comma. I can't remove all commas because there are other commas in the text.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI currently have a macro that imports data from a web-based query then deletes column A from the query. I do this because I am using a VLOOKUP on the data and the VLOOKUP value would be in column B if I didn't.
The website has changed the format and now once column A is deleted, I'm left with a format of FirstName LastName, POS TEAM (i.e. Tom Brady, QB NEP). My VLOOKUP looks for FirstName LastName so I'm getting the "N/A" error now. I need to remove the "," and "POS" and "TEAM" from the imported data. This would be easy enough if the number of characters right of and including the comma was consistent, but it isn't. (Also, text to columns then CONCATENATE won't work because VLOOKUP looks at values, not formula results...)
Now I know the formula =LEFT(A1,FIND(",",A1)-1) works, but how would I incorporate this into the worksheet to keep the values in column A and not add additional columns to throw off my VLOOKUP.
Ideally I'd like a simple macro to add to my current macro to use the above formula, but I'm not sure of the wording.
I need a simple way to extract the comma in 14,656 imported text so I can do a vlookup against 14656.
make a macro wich it's going to sort comma delimited number in the correct order.. see attached file to get the wanted reult..
View 5 Replies View RelatedThis is a delima I cannot figure out. I had to create passwords for a website we are building. I have 3000 employee numbers has to be used. So what i did was took the first initial and middle initial and last initial and first 5 of the ID number. I did a comma delimiter to obtain all of the letters and numbers. example: ABC12345
My problem is none of the passwords work because when I imported the letters and numbers into the sheet it looks just like the above. However on review I cut and pasted back to notepad and the data looks like this:
"A B C 12345"
So its adding a tab in the password thats thats a problem, How do I remove this extra white space between each comma delimited digit? without having to manually delete it ?

I have 2 .xls documents with customer contact information. One has a list of old contacts I need to remove which is about 3k this list contains only email addresses. The other contains the full list of Customers this list is about 11k this contains everything from first/last name to billing and email addresses.
My goal is to double check to see which addresses are just typos and which are non-working.
I will need to go through the list line by line but better to only go through 3000 than 11000. So, I need to somehow remove all of the good addresses from the full list using the bad address list which is only 3k long.
Any suggestions on where to start?
The code below is supposed to sort and remove duplicates in the sheet in column A. So far it sorts, but I get an error when it tries to remove duplicates. I get an invalid object error.
Code:

Dim lngLr As Long
With Sheets("Top 5 Clients")

I'm using excel 2007 and windows vista. I have 2 cells, A1 contains (01,) and B1 contains (01, 08). I want the result in cell C1 to be (01, 08) by calling function trim_sort($A1&$B1). The code gives me an error "invalid qualifier" for s.length & more.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am currently using the following to populate the choices in my ComboBox:
For Each rngX In Range("Watchlist_Source_Menu").Cells
If Len(rngX.Value) > 0 Then
ComboBox2.AddItem rngX.Value
End If
Next
The range "Watchlist_Source_Menu" is p4:p104. It works fin but if there are duplicates in that range it duplicates the choices in the ComboBox. Is there a way that I can only show unique choices and show them alphabetized in the combo box upon intializing the userform?
Is there a way to hide the content of a cell that already contains a formula but when you sort it and remove the blanks it not remove that cell?

Is there a way to write a formula for the below?
Basically i want Excel to remove the duplicates in column D and show the results in column E (so my formula will start in cell E4)

Currently use this macro (see below) but occasionally I have more rows than 842. I could increase to 10000 and this would work but looking for a more automated macro that will automatically remove duplicates from all rows i.e. a macro that works out all rows.
Sub copyTab()
Cells.Select
Selection.Copy
Sheets("filtered_data").Select
Range("A1").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Columns("A:A").Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
ActiveSheet.Range("$A$1:$J$842").RemoveDuplicates Columns:=1, Header:=xlYes
End Sub
I want some example of VBA that could copy data (A1:B15) to new range (D1:E15) then sort and remove duplicate.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a large excel file with the top seven rows such as you see in the attached file. In row five there is a bunch of info before the month and the year. What I want to do is get rid of that info besides the month and year. I than want to sort each column by the month and year so that all the columns are in sequential order.

imagine your data set (numbers are random and do not start in cell A1):

i started trying to code this...... but quickly realized i havn't the slightest idea where to start
I know there is a way to do this, but I can't remember how! I have one cell (actually, thousands of cells) where the first name is listed and then the last name. I want to reverse the text so the last name appears first, and then the first name appears last, in the same cell. That way, I can alphabetize the columns by last name.
Can i take a name that is in "normal" order and change it so that it is in the format of "Lastname, Firstname Middlename" regardless of how many names are represented?
I have used a simple concatenate formula along with some left/right formulas to get this working if every single person in the list has only their first and last name, but I get errors if the person has 3 or more names listed.
So what I want, is a formula that will turn these names:
Carl Johnson
Carl Robert Johnson
Carl Joseph Robert Johnson
into these names:
Johnson, Carl
Johnson, Carl Robert
Johnson, Carl Joseph Robert
I accidentally replaced all my formulas from a format of:
=A1
to:
''''=A1
I would like to return to the original form:
=A1
However the Find/Replace command does not seem to recognize the first single quote.
I'd like to reverse a column of numbers. The format of data is currently as follows:
Student ID
Years in Residence
12456
[Code]....
I have a column of data I would like to have reversed on the fly (use functions and not vba). I have a function that works for the first cell but I can't seem to get it to work for the rest of the column when I choose edit/Fill Down.
=OFFSET(GI_Norm_list,MAX(ROW(GI_Norm_RevList))-ROW(),0)
where:
GI_Norm_list = column O
GI_Norm_RevList = Column V
I copy =OFFSET(GI_Norm_list,MAX(ROW(GI_Norm_RevList))-ROW(),0) to cell V1 and it works fine. I choose edit/fill down and I get #REF for every other cell. I seem to be doing this wrong somehow.
My colleague copies a date to the clipboard and then pastes it back onto the same spreadsheet. The month and day reverse (01/12/2013 becomes 12/01/2013). This doesn't happen when copying 14/12/2013 (probably because it can't be interpreted two ways) nor when avoiding the clipboard with ctrl-C/ctrl-V.
My working theory is that it's some kind of autotext or formatting function. Is there a way to disable this feature/function/glitch?
I want to simply flip the last name and first name in a column for alphabetical sorting purposes.
The names start in A4 and continue down and look exaclty like the format below including some middle initial or full name:
John Doe - $5,000.00
Jane Doe - $7,000.00
Tommy Chong - $50,000.00
Billy Bong - $25,000.00
Dave T Jones - $5,000.00
Alex Lee Johnson -$100,000.00
I want it to simply swap the first and last name order to look like this:
Doe, John - $5,000.00
Doe, Jane - $7,000.00
Chong, Tommy - $50,000.00
Bong, Billy - $25,000.00
Jones, Dave T - $5,000.00
Johnson, Alex Lee - $100,000.00
Is there a way to reverse the order of data in a column - and maintain that same order but in reverse - so the last value in the column becomes the first, the second last value becomes the second, etc.
