Right, Left And Len
Jul 4, 2008
I have a table with a range of numbers inputted as text (ie. 200-400, 300-500, 65-90, etc.) that I am extracting. I made a formula that works for pulling out numbers if they are in the triple digit range but don't want to rejig if they go down to double-digits, or up to quad. (too tedious to change the right and left count function midway if data suddenly changes)
The values that I am extracting are separated by -'s and when i use the formula below i end up with negative numbers if one of the pairs is less than 3 digits (ie. 2)
=VALUE(RIGHT('NAIC Spread 2007'!D11,3))
how can i work in a Len function to deal with this issue?

I have a 2010 excel sheet containing 14 columns and 45082 rows in total. I am quite illiterate when it comes to writing macros but I know that what I need can be achieved with a set of codes.
To be more clear, I inserted two tables below. The first one represents the current data structure, and the second one is the way I want my data to look like.
Current data structure looks like
Variable 1
Variable 2
Variable 3
[Code].....

I am having trouble filling a formulae series to the left on one spreadsheet, the fomulae being references to another sheet.
For example, I have two sheets 'Mtce Options' and 'Base Case'. In 'Mtce Options' I have the following formulae
A B C
1='Base Case'!A15='Base Case'!D15='Base Case'!G15
I want to fill to the left, incrementing the column references by a factor of 2 each time, eg. next two should be ='Base Case'!J15 and ='Base Case'!M15.
However, if I autofill to the left by highlighting A1, B1 and C1 or just B1 and C1 all I get is an inappropriate reference such as ='Base Case'!D15 or ='Base Case'!F15, respectively, in D15.

column 2

my current code (which works, but its messy) for the first cell is

I have a column that is giving unwanted value . dont know the reason as that excel file has been created by some other guy and I just started working on it .
My Question is how to move to 2 cells left(A for example) from from that unwanted value column. and check if
A is equal to cell above it , means B Cell(Row above A but same column).
As my excel file is totally based on Forms, Macros, I am not quite familiar with macros.
Is there any way to put if condition in one cell (column) and drag it all the way down which should work for all the values in these 3 column.
And also if A=B then I want to make that unwanted value cell="".

I have a set of data in an Excel 2007 spreadsheet and want to move it to Sheet2. I move all that I need except for one column which needs some work done to it and I keep receiving errors. Sheet1 Column 12 is comprised of six digits, space, six digits, space, and four more digits. What I need is the first twelve (12) digits, less the space, moved to column1 on Sheet2.
The code I am attaching does the following:
The year 2009 to Sheet2 Column2
Column6 + Column7 to Sheet2 Column3
Column8 + Column9 to Sheet2 Column4
Column6 + Column7 + Column8 + Column9 to Sheet2 Column5.

I have a cell and I only want to look at the word after the first 4 characters of every cell. I do not know the word size so right(...) didn't work for me, I just know the first 4 characters I do not need and the word follows.

How can I use Len and Left together to ensure a workbook name begins with Order?
I've tried using Left("Order", 5) and didn't work.
Len(Activeworkbook.Name, 5) didn't work either.

Obscure lines of info which I'm trying to break up into pieces. Being able to find from the right instead of left would be REALLY handy. See attached example with details and example!

i have this issue, i named column J. now it says instead of using Social Security numbers as a unique identifier, they are considering using an ID of the first 3 letters of the last name (L Name) followed by the first letter of the first name (F Name). If the last name is fewer than 3 characters, the letter Z replaces each missing character.

I need a formula that can remove all characters to the right of "]" for example, if a1 = abcdefg]1234, I want b1 to return the value: 1234. I tried =RIGHT(a1,FIND("]",a1)-1), but that didn't really work. It returned: fg]1234

I am trying to use the left function to include only the first account number, for example if a cell has "120122 280000" (there may be many spaces between the two numbers), I only want 120122.
So far my programming only returns the 280000 into the cell.
I am working with cell values in column "K".

Is it possible to make VLOOKUP look to the left?
Imagine following arrangement of data:
Address Name PIN
A-street Abe 4587
B-street Bob 8214
V-street Val 9657
I want to know the name of the person who has PIN 4587. Is it possible to do this without rearranging the columns?

I have one field that contains a city, state and zip. I need to extract only the city. I need the proper function to ask Excel to go to the cell and return all the text beginning the first place on the left, continuing until it reaches a comma. The number of places in the city will always vary.

i am having one excel spreadsheet where there are data in matrix of 365 rows X n columns. columns are not fixed.(but will always be less than 125). now i want to add blank column after every column through VBA
e.g.
a--b--c--d--e (these are columns)
date--scrip1--scrip2--scrip3--scrip4
now i want data to be rearrange as
a--b--c--d--e--f--g--h--i
date--scrip1--<blank>--scrip2--<blank>--scrip3--<blank>--scrip4--<blank>
means one blank column after every scrip idea is to calculate %return in that new added blank column

What I need is to find a max value within a range and then tell me what the row value in Column A is. Usually use VLOOKUP for this but this doesn't like minus numbers.
I think it has something to do with Match and Offset but can't get it to work properly.
I have attached an example, where the max of the total is 4,435 and belongs to Steve but how do I get this to do using formulas

I need to move characters from the end of a string to the beginning.
I have a list of Exact stings that are allowed. I need to move this allowed string to the beginning.
JAN
JANS
JANTX
JANTXV
If "TR" or "T/R" are at the end of the allowed Exact string, I need that removed completely.
i.e.
JANTR = JAN
JANT/R = JAN
JANTXT/R = JANTX
PN
Desired result
1N3595UR-1JANTX = JANTX1N3595UR-1
1N4992JAN = JAN1N4992
2N1711JANS = JANS2N1711
1N4148UR-1JANTXVTR = JANTXV1N4148UR-1

this formula as a result =IF(LEFT(A3,1)="0",RIGHT(A3,LEN(A3)-1),A3) It worked great to strip the left most zero from a string of text numbers in the cells where the formula was applied.
However, now I need to put the zero back in lol!
So...how would I adjust the formula (or write a different one) to insert a zero as the first digit of a string of text digits?

Function sequence giving me "N/A": =VLOOKUP(LEFT(C6,5),H:I,2,FALSE)
Basically, I have numbers that each start with a unique sequence. The first 5 numbers of that sequence represent a certain cell carrier.
What I want to do is have the function look up the first 5 characters of a cell and depending on the 5 characters, I want it to return a certain value.
My idea with the vlookup was to have the lookup value be the first 5 digits and then in my table, it would take only those 5 digits and return a value I have specified in the second column.

I need a single cell to contain two elements, one left aligned and the other right aligned.
Result would look something like this, LeftText aligned to the left side of the cell and RightText aligned to right side of the same cell.
LeftText {all of the white space here between two text values} RightText
Merging columns is not an option; both values must be in same cell. Both text values vary in length with each run of the code.
All I can do as of now is plug in a bunch of spaces that will approximate the open space between the two values.
