Seeking Formula To Separate Cells That Contain Specific Terms?
Mar 18, 2014
I have thousands of data entries (each in their own row, all in one column) and need to separate the basic info. In the example below, say you want to isolate the Town names by entering a formula that can produce a TRUE or FALSE result. Is there a way to use the FIND function and a pool of terms to isolate cells that contain excess data (i.e.- produce a FALSE result for cells containing any words from a term pool like : "Police, Park, Power, Water, Community, Bakery, Grocery, Field, Garden, Post Office, School" etc... ) ?
Pic of sample spreadsheet with desired result:

example as text:
A2 = Springfield
A3 = Springfield Police Department
A4 = Springfield Community College
A5 = Springfield Park Of Recreation
A6 = Des Moines
A7 = Des Moines Power & Water Company
A8 = Des Moines Sunrise Bakery
A9 = Des Moines Post Office
A10 = Des Moines Grocery Store
A11 = Lancaster
A12 = Lancaster Baseball Field
A13 = Lancaster Botanical Gardens

I have repetitive task of copying and pasting. Macro to sort some data.
I have time values (sorted in order) in Column A and a value in Column B.
Sheet1 AB1TimeValue
200:00:002300:00:002400:00:001500:00:002601:00:004701:00:002802:00:001902:00:0021002:00:0031102:00:0041202:00:0011302:00:002
I need separate the time each hour of data into columns. So the above would become
Sheet1 ABCDEF1TimeValueTimeValueTimeValue
200:00:00201:00:00402:00:001300:00:00201:00:00202:00:002400:00:001 02:00:003500:00:002 02:00:0046 02:00:0017 02:00:002
There are a different number of rows of data for each hour and sometimes there might not be any data for a specific hour.

I have created an online survey, and people choose ten words (skills) out of 24 possible. Please see screenshot. I would like a formula that does this in layman's terms: "If I see the word "Cooperation" in the source cell, then I'll put "03b" into the target cell; but if I see "Managing" in the source cell instead, I'll put "21a" in the target cell, etc."
I've tried a few IF / Then statements, with no success. Screenshot shows the source cell upper right, and the ten target cells below left with two rows of sample results. I'm guessing the same formula can be in each of the 10 target cells.

Say employee John Doe has a salary X. Giving him a salary raise Y (euro/dollar) induces a pension premium to be paid by the employer, on that amount.
The premium is (fixed) 17% of the part above a (fixed) treshold value of 3.750. On the part of the raise below the 3.750, the pension premium is (fixed) 4,35%.
E.g. having a salary of 3.600, with a raise of 400.
4,35% of (3.750 - 3.600 = 150) equals 6,525
And 17% of the remaining 250 equals 42,500
So the total premium is 49,025
But, I want to give a raise with a total cost of no more than 400. So, I use goal seek to find a raise that, together with te pension premiums equals 400.
In the example, with 3.600 as a salary to start with, that raise would be 358,10 Because the part below 3.750 stays the same and induces a premium of 4,35% of 150, being 6,525 and the remaining part is 208,10 at 17% is 35,377.
Proof: 358,10 + 6,525 + 35,377 = 400
The question is: is there a possibility to have a formula that calculates the (e.g.) 358,10 based on a salary to start with (e.g. 3.600), an aimed total cost (e.g. 400) and the fixed constants 3.750, 17% and 4,35%?

Is there a way to compare specific data from three separate worksheets to see if they are equal?
I receive three daily reports that contain some of the same information that must match in order to correctly compile an Executive Report. Currently, I am doing this manually. Is there any way to automate the process to have a warning or something similar pop up if the numbers do not match?

1) This exercise would save me considerable time and would almost certainly eliminate the possibility of typing errors in preparing the input data file for another application.
2) My program requires each input multivariant equation to be specified as follows and in the same order:
--Number of Independent Variables, N (max 10)
--Number or Terms, M (max 20)
--Term 1: power of var 1
: power of var 2
: ..............
: power of var N
: coeff
--Term 2: power of var 1
: power of var 2
: ..............
: power of var N
: coeff
........................
--Term M: power of var 1
: power of var 2
: ..............
: power of var N
: coeff
3) It would be extremely helpful if I could type the equation (of up to 10 variables and up to 20 terms) in a cell on a w/s and automatically get the above particulars extracted and nicely tabulated in a column.
4) Simplified Example: (3 var & 4 terms).........................

I have attached a sheet that has part of a data list, sheet called (Full Data) what i am trying to do is seperate the data into event locations into individual sheets.
The data ref will be column F which is the different event locations.
I thought the best way to try and do this was to create an if/ match formula using the sheet tab names as the if match, with the event locations in column F.
I have added two sheet tabs so you can see that i require the data for (Ain) to be put into the Ain sheet.
The data list in Full Data sheet will be continuously updated so i will need the range to be around 10,000 entries.

I'm trying to separate text from numbers into two separate cells...
Essentially, I would like the users to copy and paste data into Column A, as seen below. Then, hopefully by formula separate the text characters into Column B and the numbers into Column C.
Input: Output 1: Output 2:
Col A Col B Col C
Wells 123 Wells 123
Wells 1234 Wells 1234
Wells Fargo 123 Wells Fargo 123
Wells Fargo 1234 Wells Fargo 1234
Wells Fargo Inc 123 Wells Fargo Inc 123
Wells Fargo Inc 1234 Wells Fargo Inc 1234
Ideally, I would like to do this with a formula...

I need to take the data out of one column from sheet A and compare it to the data on another column sheet B.
Real life example:
I have a very large list of contacts with multiple columns of data. On a separate spreadsheet, I have a list email addresses that I need to remove from the larger list of contacts. How can I compare them against one another to detect any matched email addresses for deletion?
List of contacts is appx 130mb
List of email addresses is appx 4mb

Is it possible to enhance this line of code:
Code:
.Range("A1:EH" & llastrow).AutoFilter Field:=10, Criteria1:="Cows"
Which filters my database to display only rows in which column J (10) equals "Cows", to display all rows that equal "Cow" and "Chicken" and "Giraffe" and "Cheetah"?

I'm writing a macro to search for letters A to Z in one spreadsheet, and copy it's associated data into another spreadsheet where A to Z already exist.
Thus:
Cells.Find(What:="A", After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False).Activate
That works fine. It find's "A", then the rest of the macro moves to the right and copies the data needed:
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Range("A1").Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlToRight)).Select
Selection.Copy
THEN it goes to the NEW spreadsheet (where A to Z are already labeled) and pastes into the corresponding area. Thus:
Windows("The Other Sheet.xls").Activate
Cells.Find(What:="A", After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False).Activate
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Range("A1").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
This works perfectly.
However:
What if, one day, "A" does not exist in the source data? If say, the data started at "B", because there were no results for "A". Currently, the macro will stop working if it attempts to search for a value that doesnt exist.
How do I make it, for example, Search for "A", find that "A" doesnt exist, then skip to Searching for "B", and then "C" and so on?

How can I create a formula to add up how many cells in a column show a particular set of text? For instance; the column in my spreadsheet looks something like this:
MJR
DML
MJR
RJG
RJG
MJR
DML
I want to know how I can create a formula that will automatically tell me how many times "MJR" is listed; how many times "DML" is listed, and so on.

VBA to loop through all the cells, or an active selection, and if it finds a cell with a formula that starts with "=VLOOKUP" or "GETPIVOTDATA", then copy and paste values for those cells. If it comes across a cell that starts with "=SUM" then it leaves it as is. I've been looking for way to insert a wildcard to make this work, but can't seem to find anything.

I'm working on a spreadsheet that includes items I sell as well as the packaging it goes in.
The formula I'm looking for basically will tell a cell that if one cell (# of box) is equal a certain # it will add two separate cells by the weight of the box.
I have cells for each of the following: Weight in lb and weight in oz of the item (no box), a cell which holds the number of the box (ranging from 1-15) and two cells with weight in lb and weight in oz which would be the total weight of the item + box.
So, for example, if weight of item equals 1 and box cell equals 2 then it will put the weight of item + weight of box into a third cell.
Here's a picture of my current spreadsheet : [URL] .....
Basically, I would like to do something such as if P3 = 5, then Q3 will equal N3 + U6 and R3 will equal O3 + V6.

I have a huge list of survey responses which asks people to identify their location and then rate how important 6 facilities in their area is (rating 1 - 4, 4 being most important). So the table has cells are similar to this, except that there are about 5000 responses with about 2500 different locations identified
Location
Location
Location
[Code].....
I have been able to analyse the average results for the whole dataset by using the following formulas:
=COUNTIF(A2:C4,"camden") Count number of occurrences a location is listed
=ROUND(AVERAGE(D2:D4),2) Average response for medical centres
=COUNTIF(D2:D4,1) Counts number of times '1' comes up, would repeat '2', '3', and '4' to create a pie graph
But what I would really like to do it be able to count each response for each question by location (for example "Camden"). I've tried both of these but they don't seem to be working.
=IF(A2:C4,"camden"),COUNTIF(D2:D4),1
=COUNTIF(D2:D4),1,IF(A2:C4,"camden")

I'm looking for an answer about how I can show the numbers underlying a
nested IF function. The formula works fine, but I need to be able to show
how I arrived at the numbers that I did. Here is an example of one of the formulas:
=IF(B9=1,(B4*Data!G5*Data!F5),IF(Calculations!B10=2,(Calculations!B5*Data!G5*Data!F5),IF(Calculations!B11=3,(Calculations!B6*Data!G5*Data!F5),0)))
Instead of the reference to the cell, I would like the formula that the cell represents. I know that I could go through individually and pull each piece apart with control F9, but since there are numerous cells and because the data changes every time I create a new budget, it would help if I could have some way to display it all with one action.

I have, for my formula, 2 constant values a and x, I then also have a variable, n. The formula I'm trying to convert into excel terms is
SIGMA (with respect from 1 upto n) ((1-x)^(1-n) * x)*a. Unfortunatly thats not drastically inteligable so i've attached a picture file that should explain it in more understandable terms. Now the problem im having is, sigma is a cummulative funtion, which in this example is relative to the variable n, firstly I don't know what formulas I would have to use in order to get a sigma/summination function, and secondly I am uncertain of how to link it to a variable range.

I have created a dictionary with technical terminology. It is in excel format with about 10,000 entries. The format of my dictionary ("Sheet1") is in three columns:

Now, I want to create vocabulary lists using my dictionary. The newly typed up vocabulary list (which only has the term, but not pronunciation or definition), will be copy and pasted into "Sheet2".
The "Sheet2" typed up vocabulary list is in the format:
<vocabulary term 1>
<vocabulary term 2>
etc...
I want to run a macro or script to dictionary terms (including pronunciation and definition) from "Sheet1" and put them into my vocabulary list "Sheet2".
The desired output list in "Sheet2" is: .....

I would like to create a code that would summarize any day of the year in numerical terms.
The formula for coding "days" is as follows:
Coding Month value + current day
Where "coding month" was a combination of the year and month.
The year can be summarized as a fixed value:
2007 yr = 4
2008 = 5
2009 = 6
Ignore anything prior to 2007 and anything after 2009.
The month is simply a SINGLE digit to represent the month and where
January=1, feb=2, march=3......Sept=9. Once you hit October, you have to reduce the values to a single digit, so October = 10 = 1+0=1, November =11=1+1 =2, December = 12 = 1+2=3
Therefore, May 2007 = 4 ( 2007 ) + 5 = 9
June 2007 = 4 + 6 = 10 = 1+0 = 1
Now, comes the addition of the individual day to the mix. If you wanted to find the value for May 23, 2007
You know that May 2007 is 5+4 = 9 so adding the 23rd day is 2+3=5
therefore 9 + 5 = 14. Right?
Not really...
Before reducing this final number down further, there are some double digit numbers that DO NOT get reduced further. They are:
a. 13,14,16,19
b. 11,22,33,44,55,66,77,88,99
These numbers have to be left as is. So, today, May 23, 2007 would be left as a "14"
Two more examples:
May 24, 2007 = 5+4+ 24 = 5+4+2+4 = 15 = 6
July 17, 2007 = 7 + 4 + 17 = 7+4+1+7 = 19 = left as 19
Final thought - It would be helpful, though not necessary, to have a notation besides these double digits. If series "a" could have a "KD" next to it and series "b" could have a "MN" next to it,

I'm trying to set up a macro which will import data from one worksheet to a master sheet. I need it to copy the information into specific columns but not overwrite any existing information which is already in the Master Sheet, but I don't even know where to begin.
Just so you're clear on exactly what it is I'm trying to do... I have a Master Sheet which lists all of our suppliers prices, margins etc etc... However, when we use a new supplier we send them a greatly condensed version of the Master Sheet - We call it the Supplier Sheet (no big surprises there)!
When the supplier sends it back to me I have to type it all out manually which is kinda time consuming. I'd really like to set up a "push button" system which allows me to simply drag the Supplier Sheet into the workbook, add the info into the Master Sheet, then be able to delete the now useless Supplier Sheet.
(I have attached a test copy of the file - all of the columns in blue are the ones which need the data adding to).

I have a workbook that uses the values that a user had entered into 3 cells to calculate multiple other charts/diagrams on multiple sheets within the workbook. Each sheet would show what the user had entered in the 3 cells to allow them to see what is being used to calculate each table. Is it possible to link these cells so that the user can change the 3 values without having to go back to where he originally entered the 3 values?
For example, a user has entered in 3 values in Sheet 1. A formula in Sheet 2 displays what is entered by the user and uses these calls in Sheet 2 for calculations. When the user wants to change the three values, he would have to navigate to Sheet 1 and enter in the new values to have the workbook recalculate all the tables. Is there a way to link the three cells from Sheet 1 and Sheet 2 so when the user is on Sheet 2, he has the opportunity to change the values on the current Sheet without having to navigate to Sheet 1 to do so?
