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.
imagine your data set (numbers are random and do not start in cell A1):
1
2
3
4
5
6
i need the entire data set reversed
6
5
4

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'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.
View 9 Replies View RelatedIs 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.
This doesn't work
View 13 Replies View RelatedI need to create random numbers with 10 columns and 10 rows.
But for each line can not be the number opposite each decade.
79
22
48
70
04
98
09
41
32
56
[Code] ........
see the first line was generated as the number 79, then this same line, can not generate the number 97.
number 22 in this case is OK.
The first line was generated the number 84, then this is not the same line, you can generate the number 48.
The first line was generated the number 07, then this is not the same line, you can generate the number 70.
and so
97
22
84
07
40
98
90

I have a range: AC2:AG1400 that are filled with numbers....
Someone manually highlighted, in bright yellow, some of the numbers.
I need a macro that could reverse the signs of only those that are coloured in that yellow.
This problem has come up fairly frequently lately, and I'm not sure how to fix it, or if this is by design...but in Excel 2003 I can't seem to do a "Find and Replace" based on the value of a cell. I can do a find, based on cell value, but the moment I change to the replace tab, the "values" and "comments" are missing from the "look in" dropdown.
I've only noticed this when I'm trying to replace on a filtered list, so I'm not sure if that is part of the issue.
Perhaps an alternative way of arriving at the same goal. Basically I have a worksheet with a number of filtered columns. They are filtered just right, using custom filtering, and so I do not want to undo the filters. In some columns I have formulas that are returning #VALUE! errors. I'd like to replace all of these cells with NA.
I recently became owner of a spreadsheet with some issues, and I am trying to make it useful. Each row has a URL of a blog post, and I want to extract the date from it (which is present in each URL) while getting rid of the rest of the URL. I was able to get rid of everything up to the year (which comes first), but then the URL continues, for example, 2013/05/16/the-rest-of-the-url/ and I would like to just have 2013/05/16 remain.
I am trying to use find and replace with the find box reading 2013/??/??/*/ and replacing it with 2013/??/?? which effectively erases everything else in the url, but leaves ?? instead of the numbers. Is there any way to have it so that it keeps whatever was in the original box?

Trying to repeat a 550 or so character statement with a find/replace however I am getting type mismatch errors. When I use a smaller message in the "replace" it works.
I need it to post a message exactly as long as what I have in there. How do I get it to work?
Need assistance with the code for catching errors when using the find / replace function in excel? In particular, I am trying to write code to break to an error message when the value or string searched for isn't found in the find / replace. At the minute I have just copied the standard code using a macro and all this does is return a message box saying X entries replaced.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have values in row A and I have values in row C. I want to create a loop to look up xxx and replace it with the values consecutively in row C. Look at example for a better Idea. I found a way to find and replace, but I not sure how to use it with qoutes. I was thinking maybe I dont even need row A and just supply a list and excel could have the chunk of data in the code itself.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a macro where it finds a a certain word in a column for example C. What i want it to do is find anything that says FWD_EUR and then replace that cell (e.g C2) with CASH_EUR_FWD and after it has done that it replaces the adjacent cell (e.g. D2) with EUR_FWD. I then want this to do the same with FWD_USD to CASH_USD_FWD and adjacent cell to USD_FWD.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm wanting to use Excel's built in replace function to replace ANY date with "Call:"
I'm not going to go into details about why, but I cannot use a code, as I only want to change them at specific times.
The dates are currently formatted as 12/09/2009. So I need to change the 12/09/2009 and any other date there may be to "call:" without having to go through every possible date.
I have over 16000 cells with different information in them, each cell is unique. There are parts of these cells that have similar information.

I used the following code to replace " characters to !%. Then I copy the selected cells, and replace the !% back to "-es. The copied cells contain the "-es. When I comment the second replace, the function is working correctly, the copied cells contain the !%. What's the problem of my code?
Selection.Replace _
What:="""", Replacement:="!%"
Selection.Copy
'Selection.Replace _
' What:="!%", Replacement:=""""
Range B3:B1000 is text strings. Column C2:C50 is a list of words that I would like to "Find" in Column B and replace with it's lowercase values unless they start off the string.

Find all occurences of With or WITH and replace with with.
Find all occurences of Or or OR and replace with or
I have a large data file that needs a far amount of updates. Essentially what I am trying to do is take one value, lets say it is simply "ABC", and replace it with "ABC1" and - more importantly - add a row beneath it and in the cell directly below the original add a value of "ABC2". This example will happen multiple times throughout the file.
I'm afraid that other than manually going through the file and adding rows where needed I do not know a process to do this quickly. This will take many many hours based on the size of my file so I figured I would reach out to a community of much better excel users than I to see if there is something I am missing.
I have a dataset. Some cells have values in them while other cells have #N/A. I want to convert all cells that have #N/A to 0 without touching the cells with values in them already (So I can sum rows up without it returning #N/A). I tried if(A1="#N/A",0,A1) but that returns #N/A also .

I have many columns with data from our database. I have one column that has my html layout in it. I want to find within the html text data and replace it with data from another column for that row.
Example: We have [[manufacturer]] in the html area that we want to replace with data from our column called Manufacturer. So, it will replace the text in the html named [[Manufacturer]] with that rows Manufacturer data we have.
Is that possible to do?
