Search A Cell For A Symbol

Aug 24, 2007

I need to take cells such as the following from A1 down:

Baker, Helen
Brown, Joe
Smith, John
Roberts
Thompson, Karen
White, Daniel
Wright, Lisa

I need to move this to the next column but where there is a cell such as the 4th without a comma it needs to add ", N/A".

Basically it should make "Roberts" from A4 become "Roberts, N/A". I think it needs something to search for a comma and if it's not present to add that to the end.

How To Search For A String That Includes The Symbol

Sep 18, 2009

I'm writing some VB in an Excel macro to search and replace a string of text.

The problem is that the string contains the " symbol, so when Access gets to that symbol it thinks that it's reached the end of the string.

e.g.

I want to replace "0519","863027" (including the quotes) with "0001","863027"

This is what the code looks like, but it obviously doesn't work :

Insert Fraction Symbol Into Cell

Jun 20, 2009

I simply cannot insert a one eighth symbol in my spreadsheet.. I used to be able to see this in the Insert Symbols grib but now all I get are lots of question market.. if I use
selection.value = ChrW(8569)

the symbol does appear until I select the cell and press return, after which point it turns into a question mark.. I'm sure its something to do with my settings but I can't figure out what.. this is really important for me.

Add Asterisk Symbol As Text At End Of Cell With Formula?

Nov 29, 2011

I am trying to add a * at the end of a value in a cell, used to signify a note at the bottom of the page. However, as the cell contains a formula, excel thinks I am adding a multiplication sign instead.

Is there anyway to place a * at the end of the value, to show up in the cell as text? I would prefer not to have to paste the value of the cell and then add the *...

Audible Alarm When Symbol Appears In Cell

Dec 3, 2006

Cells in Columns A & B (57 rows deep) have a real time data feed and can have values of blank, "H", or "R". The H and R can remain in the cell for any length of time. I would like to have an audible ding go off whenever a new H or R appears in columns A or B. Is there a cell formula that can do this? I think a macro solution would not work, because the workbook has a macro that activates every 10 seconds, so I assume a macro solution would interfere if both macros happen to activate at the same time.

If Cell Contains Dash And Symbol Surrounded On Both Sides By A Number Then True

Jan 13, 2012

I'm trying to make a formula but are failing. This is the data:

Cells:
a1= ant-gel
a2= ant - gel
a3 = size 1 - 6
a4 = size 1-6
a5 = book - 5
a6 = book-5
a7 = good book

I want a formula that displays "True" if cell contains a "-" symbol AND the dash symbol is surround on both sides by a number (a space can go between dash and number)

I want the results to go in column B

For example, if a1 contains a dash and dashes are surrounded on both sides by a number, then "TRUE", otherwise "FALSE.

therefore:
b1 = FALSE
b2 = FALSE
b3 = TRUE
b4 = TRUE
b5 = FALSE
b6 = FALSE
b7 = FALSE

How To Divide Cell If Cell Contains Less-than Symbol

May 31, 2013

Column (B) contains two different units, either (ug L-1) or (mg L-1). I have this formula, =IF(B2="(ug L-1)",A2/1000,A2), which copies the value in column A to column C, so for cells that are in (mg L-1) units, it's a direct copy, but for cells that are in (ug L-1) units, it divides the value in A by 1000. However, I can't remember what the formula should be if the cell contains a "<" symbol AND is also in (ug L-1) units.

e.g.
< 0.004(ug L-1)

How can I change that to <0.000004?

Box Symbol

Oct 9, 2009

I have a sheet that when printed out, will have 1 or more check boxes (depending on a formula) beside various items. Basically, if in a datafield it shows that there should be 3 boxes beside a line, it will show similar to this (except the O's are check boxes).

Usable 3 times per day. O O O

In the actual symbols list, there are no such symbols. I think there must be another type of symbol available as I use: &#9658;

I grabbed that symbol from another spreadsheet, and I have no idea where it came from. I have wanted a similar arrow that points to the left or up, but I have no idea where to find them. I only know that the spreadsheet accepts a copy/paste of this symbol, and it does not seem to be related to any particular font set.

where I could find a "empty box" symbol, and also tell me where symbols like &#9658; come from.

Delete Everything After A Symbol

May 22, 2008

I have a large list of data.
Approx 10,000 rows.

All I'm looking to do is delete in each row everything after the / symbol.
So everything after a forward slash gets deleted.

All my data is in ColA from A3 downwards.
Ideally would love a macro I can assign a button to.
As an example;

So the above after the macro run would look like;

Getting Plus Symbol To Appear In Front Of Appropriate Values

May 23, 2013

I am trying to create a custom number format that will put a plus sign in from of the value in a cell if the value is positive.
Here is what I have been using:

+#,###;-#,###;"On Forecast"

There have been a few problems with this. Firstly, the values are have two decimals, and I have not been able to adjust it accordingly. Secondly, there are some cells that contain only a zero, and the custom format above changes the zeros to 'On Forecast. Other than these two issues, that custom format works.

Macro To Replace Symbol

Jul 9, 2014

I'm using a large database - excel based, with lots of VBA and macros inside - where the default decimal format is “.” (period). When I copy and paste into a normal excel workbook format I want to replace the periods with comas. The paste function I'm using is “Match Destination Formatting (M)”.

I've recorded a macro to replace all of the periods with comas - still some of the values come up as a whole number, the period not being replaced with the coma.

I've tried almost all of the formats - text, general, number .... Still does not work.

Adding A Value/symbol In Between Words

Jul 27, 2009

is it possible to take a cell, and add a symbol in between every word?

for example:
cell1 = i am having a good day
desired cell1 becomes = i-am-having-a-good-day

cell2 = super awesome
desired cell2 becomes = super-awesome

i have looked into the option of using Data > Text To Columns, then using = CONCATENATE(B54,"-",C54,"-",D54) to form the string

however, since the different cells have different lengths of words, the concatenate(cell,"-",cell...) is not flexible...

Extract Characters To The Right Of Symbol

Oct 8, 2013

Data in field A1 currently appears as below.

8/10

I want to extract everything to the right of the "/" in a new field.

The formula that I am using is =RIGHT(A1,FIND("/",A1)-1)

For some reason, I am only receiving a 0 in the new field and not the 10 that I expect.

What's odd is that the formula is working as intended on every other field except this one.
