I'd like to search a cell A1 containing for example 'hello_L765'. If the 7th character is L and the 8th character is text(ie not a number) than display yes, otherwise display the 7th character.

I have 4 cols, x rows. I need Column C to check Column B for a numerical value, and if true, return the value in B, and if not true, then return value from A. Column B are functions formatted as general. The reference made by Sheet2!B is numbers formatted as text as to retain leading zeros. Here is what I have so far
=IF(ISBLANK($B10),$A10,$B10)
I'm trying to validate a cell in Excel 2007 that should contain only two letters.
Formula:
Code:
=IF(AND(LEN(A1)=2,ISTEXT(A1)),TRUE,FALSE)
When the value of A1 is JK, the result is TRUE
When the value of A1 is 12, the result is FALSE
When the value of A1 is 3K, the result is TRUE
When the value of A1 is K3, the result is TRUE
When the value of A1 is 123, the result is FALSE
When the value of A1 is JKL, the result is FALSE
When the value of A1 is 3, the result is FALSE
When the value of A1 is K, the result is FALSE
The LEN function works as expected, but the ISTEXT function does not, whenever the cell contains a number and a letter. I've tested the LEN and ISTEXT functions separately, and get the same results.
Is it me, or is it Excel?
I have a workbook with worksheets named by peoples names. There are cells in my summary sheet that contain all the names of the worksheets (or peoples names).
Each worksheet has a table in it that I am trying to search one column to find a specific name and then report if there is text in another column in the same row. If I use the following formula:
=IF(ISTEXT(INDEX(INDIRECT("'" & E$4 & "'!f10"),MATCH(INDIRECT("A11"),INDIRECT("'" & E$4 & "'!h10"))))=TRUE,1,0)
It works and I'll return a "1" for cells in column F that have text and a "0" for columns that don't.
However, I am trying to sum up the cells in F that have text and when I enter:
{=SUM(IF(ISTEXT(INDEX(INDIRECT("'" & E$4 & "'!F10:F200"),MATCH(INDIRECT("A11"),INDIRECT("'" & E$4 & "'!H10:H200")))),1,0))}
it returns "1" when that should not be the answer. Am I doing something with the array in my INDIRECT formula? I used this similar application for another purpose in this workbook and refereced the array through INDIRECT the same way (but didn't use MATCH or INDEX) and it worked fine. This was the formula:
{=IF(SUM(IF(INDIRECT("'" & C$4 & "'!H1:H200")=INDIRECT("A5"),1,0))>0,SUM(IF(INDIRECT("'" & C$4 & "'!H1:H200")=INDIRECT("A5"),1,0)),"-")}
I am summing 3 cells, A3, A4 & A5. Cells A4 and A5 may contain text. I want to write a formula using the IF(ISTEXT funciton which says something like this:
Sum(A3:A5), if cell A4 and A5 contain text then sum just A3. If only cell A5 contains text then sum just A3:A4.
Im not sure exaclty how to construct this.
I have this formula in a cell: =IF(ISTEXT(F5),F4,""). The problem is F5 is visually blank and has this formula =B3. so it returns F4. Is there a way to rewrite the formula or to use another formula, so it will return blank?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm currently designing a new spreadsheet and I can't change the formula I'm using below to search more than one cell or a range. Is either choices a option?
I'm using =IF(ISTEXT(E135),G135) Can I add cell E139 (and how many additional cells could be added) or can I set it up to search E135:E144.
I have a rota sheet whereby shifts are written in as start time, finish time, and then a calculation for the hours.
At the bottom I have another SUM formula to calculate total daily hours.
However, within the total personal hours I have a VLOOKUP formula to check if the start time cell has a holiday text reference.
Please see below:
Take the "Sergei" example: he starts at 9am, finishes at 8pm, and the formula automatically calculates an 11 hour working day.
However, in the "Tom" example, the "TH" refers to another sheet which houses a reference of the amount of hours to place in the total hours box if those letters appear, thus imputing holiday hours at the same time.
"=IF(ISTEXT(F24),VLOOKUP(F24,'Hol-Meet Hours'!$F$7:$G$27,2,0),(G24-F24)*24-IF((G24-F24)*24>6,0,0))"
What I am struggling with is to use an IF and ISTEXT formula in the "Daily Hours" formula to ignore any holiday inputs, thus only giving me trading hours.
The only way I could think of doing it was something along these lines:
"IF(ISTEXT(F16),SUM(F17:F31),SUM(F16:F31)...et al"
The issue here is that I need to repeat the formula for every staff member within the same cell's formula, which I don't know how to do (multiple functions within a formula repeated 20 times), and is a right drag.
I'm trying to apply the istext to a cell that has multiple values eg: [car, boat, truck] so I have setup the cell with the formula
=istext(c147 = "car",1,0)
it returns false constantly. Is that becuase of the other values separated by comma's in that same cell?
Is there a way to do this so that I don't have to go through 300+ cells that have multiple values to separate them?
I've been trying to use excel's Isnumber or Istext function to evaluate a range of cells, but have been unsuccesful so far. Is it even possible? or is the formula just restricted to evaluating only single cells?
For example, if I do, Isnumber(A1:A10), is there any way to make that work?
I am trying to create code that deletes lines in a spreadsheet when the first column is either blank or has text in it. However, when writing the VBA code, ISNUMBER and ISTEXT do not work. Amazingly, ISBLANK does work.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm wondering what function I can use to search a specific word in row with many text?...
i attached for the example and details.
I am trying to create a search facility to search for accreditations.
currently my search only picks up on the first word in the cell.
ie Prince will be found in Prince 2 Foundation, but a search on foundation comes up with nothing.
How do i get the search to search all the text in the cell and not just the first word.
I am searching on a number of worksheets but in the same range on each worksheet.
I have some cells with text entered in column A.
These cells contain a time reference either in '09:30 - 16:30' format or just an 'AM/PM' format.
What I need to do is to populate column B with the part of the string that comes AFTER the times in the text (either in hh:mm format or AM/PM format)
Example
336 Data 2012 Classroom Induction 2012/08/28 09:30 - 16:30 data about this ------> data about this
336 Information about this 2013/04/04 09:00 - 13:00 Information 2 ------> Information 2
336 info CHS Suffolk 2013/05/07 PM DRC, BSE ------> DRC, BSE
364 information 2013/02/12 AM DRC, BSE ------> DRC, BSE
I cannot get this to work and cannot use Text To column as there is no character I can use to split it.
I want to test a cell for the type of value as 678/256 or 345/872/098/987 etc. The common character in each would be the "/". First, I need to check the cell for this, then take the first number and compare it to an integer(if it is <> , or = to). I hope I am clear with my situation.

Not the most exciting data, but I need to identify which cells contain the sub string "HWA". Ideally the next column would have that string extracted into it or some kind of indentifier
I'm trying to search a column that has cells with various length strings. Included in the strange (at random locations) could be possibly be a 7 digit number starting with 4. I want a formula that counts the number of cells with contain that 7 digit number. Is this possible?
View 11 Replies View RelatedI have a pretty large sheet to look into ("CellData"). I am looking in column B which has the following value pattern:
129(8769)
I would like a vba code to search based upon numbers in brackets i.e 8769 only and once it is found that row should be put in a new sheet.
I have a cell that is populated by clicking a button which pulls info from an external source over which I have no control. I need to confirm the selection made by the user contains one of four quarterly values: Mar, Jun, Sep or Dec. I have this but wanted to know if there is a better alternative or a way to shorten the code.
Code:
If InStr(1, UCase(celltxt), "MAR") Or InStr(1, UCase(celltxt), "JUN") _
Or InStr(1, UCase(celltxt), "SEP") Or InStr(1, UCase(celltxt), "DEC") Then
Here is an example
Column A: Column B:
Row 1: Walmart 7886 1540.12 1540.12
Row 2: Walgreens 7886 37.95 ?
Row 3: Exxon Moble 7886 86.37 ?
I need to extract the number (regardless of the amount of characters) signified by the "." Another words, I need a formula that will give the the answers of the following in column "B"
1540.12
37.95
86.37
These are the amounts spent. It would be easier if there was a "$" but theres not... so I need to find the "." and give me the numbers associated with it.
I'm using a command button (p1) within Private Sub P1_Click()
It pulls the activecell as a string (for example $A$1) using a variable called CurrCell, I then want to search this string (currCell) within the worksheet "DATA" and select the cell 3 to the right of it, so that I can change the value.
I am trying to search a cell for multiple different strings and if the string is found, multiply a nearby cell by a factor of 1.5. if the strings are not found i want the original cell value to be used. I have tried using find functions but they do not seem to work. I have also tried using nested if functions with no luck..
View 9 Replies View RelatedOur software extract for our data base sucks and values do not align properly if all entries do not have tge exact same number of fields with data in them.
I have always done the alignment in excel manually. I can find where the data starts to misalign and would like to do this automatically.
There is an id number for each entry (row) that is 6 digits long. How can I search a row for a 6 digit number and return the address of that cell? i can use this address as a starting point and use the offset function to do so alignment from there.

I have a workbook with a macro that searches through worksheets to find certain values and place the location of the value in a worksheet cell. The following line ontains the found cell.
So I have the code that allows me to search for the a certain value in a cell and then copies a certain cell to the other spread sheets. Here is the code that does that
Code:
Sub SearchMacro()
Dim LR As Long, i As Long
With Sheets("Sheet1")
[Code].....
The code will just need to search for the string "HSFL" and I won't have to hard code all the different variations of HSFL as I mentioned above.
I have 400 workbooks to examine if cell P54 is 88% or lower. Is there an easy way, or is VBA with a loop the way.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI need a formula (but most likely a VBA macro) that will search through a folder for a file than get data from that file. The files are named in systematic way, but I need the entire formula to work from inputting a mold number in one cell. E.g. I input 6291 in cell A2 the vba macro searches for file “6291 mold.xlsx” and returns a range of numbers as well as pictures in specified cells. Is this possible? If so how?
The closest thing I have found is VBA macro that retrieves a list of media files in a folder, I listed the code below.

I'm using the following code to delete select rows one at a time. I need the last row in the range to remain therefore I prevented the user from deleting the row one up from the row that contains "Total Hours" (which is always in Column B). The code works great as long at the user clicks into a cell in column B. If the user clicks into a cell in column A, C, D, E, F, G, H, or I then the code allows the user to delete the last row.
I believe I need to search entire rows to determine if the row contains "Total Hours" .
