How to get Excel to select all cells within a specific column that contain a specific character. In this instance, I need to select all the cells which contain a comma...
And even better would be if I could get Excel to not just select all the cells in a specific column containing a comma, but each of the rows in which those cells reside.
What formula or function truncates a text field that is in the following consistent format:
number. name
ie. 3. Super Bella
and 150. Taoist
I wish to truncate the field so I have just the integer without the dot, space or word(s).
Tried Len, Left & Replace but they require a specific number of characters. Since the number can be 1 to 3 digits long, this doesn't work.
know the VBA script to select only specific cells within a worksheet. To be more precise, on sheet 1 - A2, A6 and A10 cells are filled with red color. I want only those cells which are highlighted in red to be selected, copied and pasted to sheet2.

=average(N15;N29;N43;N57;N71;N85;N99;N113;N127;N141;N155;N169;N183;
N197;N211;N225;N241;N255;N269;N283;N301;N315;N329;N343;N357)*100%
I didn't create this. Anyway, the problem is that most of these cells will be empty unless a whole bunch of other stuff is filled. These N cells take several values, put them together and create a new one. As time goes by they are filled. While they aren't filled, they'll return the DIV/0 error.
So when that formula I pasted there uses all of these values, it also returns a DIV/0 error because it is getting info from cells that have this error.
I managed to correct that with this
=averageif(N15:N357;"<>#DIV/0!")*100%
It works like a charm save for one problem. When I use averageif I'm forced to use an interval. Along this interval other values show up (it is always a value ranging from 0 to 2). So when the formula works its magic the results are slightly skewed because of this other value that I don't want.
So I figure there must be two ways around this. The first one would be using something like averageif that lets me use several handpicked cells instead of an interval. If I try
=averageif(N15;N29;N43;N57;N71;N85;N99;N113;N127;N141;N155;N169;N183;
N197;N211;N225;N241;N255;N269;N283;N301;N315;N329;N343;N357;"<>#DIV/0!")*100%
It doesn't work, it says I have too many values. So if I could the exact same thing as I did with averageif but keeping all of these values it'd be super nice.
The other solution, less nice but equally effective I guess, is using this same interval but having more than one criteria. The first criteria would still be the one telling it to ignore DIV/0 error, the second criteria would be the one to ignore any values equal or lower than 2.
Using VBA, I need to Select A1:C14.
The problem is that A1:C14 contains blank cells, and there is also an adjacent column D that I do not want to copy.
So, UsedRegion and CurrentRegion aren't doing it for me. (It selects Column D too.)
Obviously, this is an example...the real data set is an export and varies in size.
1) In any cell, I would like to remove "Area#xxxxxxxxx" (where x are random numbers).
Example : "INFO Log - [sys] Area#541185471Character#46545"
2) I would like to remove x characters before a word.
Example : 2013-08-28.txt@INFO
I would need to remove 14 characters before the character "@".
I tried to play with the LEN and RIGHT/LEFT formula but so far, I can't get it to work... The idea is to parse some text and remove the part in red (I was thinking about using SUBSTITUTE).
I want a formula to find "#" character in a text.
Example
PO# 4343434, MINCDSD.LTD, 977766
Here i I want to find out the character "#" position
I used =FIND("#", A1,1) Answer is 3 it's ok fine.
But I have problem with this below example;
Revised PO#545455, INV# 434344 ABC LTD
In this example i want second "#" position..
Essentially what I'm trying to accomplish is import a file from Quickbooks and determine whether it was a Credit Card, Check or Invoice based on the account number.
For example:
45-12345 should return the value CC in an adjacent cell because it contains the "-" character.
I0123456 should return the value INV in an adjacent cell because it contains the "I" character.
01234567 should return the value ACH in an adjacent cell because it doesn't contain either character.
I tried using VLookup, but I can't figure out how to write a formula for when it just contains a character, only if it matches it or is text/number.
In a cell(s) I have for example {text}dd%2BMore_Text}
what i want to do is search and replace the final }
so it should be {text}dd%2BMore_Text
the regular search and replace in excel removes all } which is not what i need.
Switched to Excel after using OpenOffice and I'm stuck on knowing what an old a 'find and replace' formula would be in Excel. It would remove a specific character (or word) ONLY if it was the last characters in a cell.
The old find and replace for open office:
Find: (.*)/$
Replace: $1
It's not that important now to delete a word, mainly the last slash '/' ONLY if it's the last character e.g. this data has 2 rows with a '/' as the last character
website.com/page
website.com/page/
website.com/page/page/
Running my old find and replace formula would remove the last slashes, but leave the others
website.com/page
website.com/page
website.com/page/page
Need simple replacement to the find and replace but a formula is also right.
I am trying to put an IF statement together. If the 7th character from the left is 5 it must show M, and If 0(zero), it must show F
View 2 Replies View RelatedCells A1:A5 all have a vlookup formula that will pull one of the following into it:
1. The word "NONE"
2. #N/A error since it doesn't exist in the table
3. A text value that has the format 13.55.46.91
I want a formula that will look at these 5 cells and give me #3. That #3 value can only appear once in the 5 cells in any of those 5. The other 4 cells will contain either 1 or 2.
3 always has length equal to 11. It always has periods in those places. The digits do change.
I have a row of cells that contain a single letter: W,C,O.
I need to provide a count of the number of occurancies of each letter. So I have a cell that shows me the total W's, a cell showing me total C's and another showing total O's.
Whats easiest way to do this?
I know its not ideal, but on this occassion ive no desire to add and hide another column.
I have a spreadsheet with Employee details and each employee has a Indicator and a Score.
I'm battling to get Excel to do a lookup on the Indicator, find the applicable Score Range, see if the individual's Score falls within the range and then inserts the relevant % into a cell in a specific row of each employee.
If we did not have more than 2000 doing it manualy might have been an option. Also, the Percentages and Score Ranges in the matrix might change a couple of times....
I'm trying to clean-up a huge bulk of data. What I want to do is automatically select all rows, where column K contains text value "Closedloss", and have all these rows cut/pasted to Worksheet "ClosedCases". The second is similar to the first, but I want to select all rows where column J contains a value of 60-80, and have all these rows cut/pasted to Worksheet "MidRange".
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to find the best solution for this problem. I have an excel sheet that contains over 2,000 rows of data with 8 columns. In this sheet, I need to be able to select entire rows that look for specific names in column E which is titled "originator".
The name format looks like this:

I have a total of 15 names that I need excel to look for in this entire sheet. What are my best options for this? I tried conditional formatting, but that does not work that well, as I would have to manually enter in each name.
I need to make a list of Part Numbers in quotation marks. If a number of digits of a P/N is less than 13 a number of space characters has to be added to make the string 13 characters long.
We have example P/N:
1234567890123
12345678
123456
should become:
"1234567890123(no extra space characters should be filled-13chars)"
"12345678(5 extra space characters here)"
"123456(7 extra space characters)"
Is there a function that inputs a cerain number of a specific character ("space" in this example)?

I have an excel file in which the cell has more than 3000 entries, like following. I would like to copy the contents before ";" to next row & continue.
Question:
CN=123,CN=12,CN=ABC,CN=AB,;CN=345,CN=34,CN=CDF,CN=DC,;CN=510,CN=51,CN=PQR,CN=PQ;
Answer should be in excel:
CN=123,CN=12,CN=ABC,CN=AB
CN=345,CN=34,CN=CDF,CN=DC
CN=510,CN=51,CN=PQR,CN=PQ
I do not know how can I achieve this through "Macro". I would like to detect ; in the cell & copy the contents before/after it in the next rows & continue till the last figure.
How can I extract mid section of the string which is always 5 characters long and is always followed by a period "." ?
My account strings are in 3 sections (but the third section isn't always used)
For example,
1.10210
1.22556.001
900101.56201
955261.54444.001
5566625.58886.957756
I have one column with many numbers. Some have one dash and some have two.
Example:
123-123456-65
012-789546-1
98B12354-889
Is there a way that I can remove all characters after the last – (dash) in the number?
Example:
If number is 123-123456-65
Then 123-123456
If number is 98B12354-889
Then 98B12354
If someone could just lead me in a direction, I might be able to figure it out. However, my code is elementary and most of the time, I record macros and the play with the code until it does what I want.
I'm using Excel 2003 and I have a small problem using text functions. My problem is that in column 'A' I have a name and their year next to it between brackets, like so: Wright Jeffrey (1PBSO)
Now what I have to do, is make two new columns where I extract the surname (Wright) to one columns and the first name in another column (Jeffrey), the "(1PBSO)" doesn't have to go anywhere. Now I wouldn't have a problem with this normally but in the list I have names like 'Van Tongerloo Johan' where VAN TONGERLOO is the surname and JOHAN is the first name. For the first name (Wright Jeffrey (1PBSO)) I just used the LEFT function and then searched for the first space in the string but that doesn't work in the second example anymore.
I am looking for a way to select specific columns in excel that have specific characteristics in the header titles. For example, I have a very large worksheet with columns that specify the year and month (ie. "1900-8"). The years range from 1900 to 2011 and each year has "-1" to "-12" to represent the months of the year. Specifically, I am wanting to pick out all of the columns ending in "-8" (August).

I would like to use conditional formatting to highlight cells which have the same first 16 characters (yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm) before the "@" AND that contains the words "CHANGE WORLD". Therefore, I'm looking for a formula I could include in the conditional formatting so I can easily find the "CHANGE WORLD" that occurred at the same time (minus the seconds, they may vary slightly).

I have x number of sheets in a workbook, and I am looking to copy sheets a, b and c into a new workbook that I will create.
The a, b and c are in no order, or consecutive (although they could be). I want to be able to count the number of sheets in the workbook, and traverse through that to find sheets that I need, and select them to copy over to a new workbook.
is there any way to open a workbook and select a sheet within the book without having the entire name?
I've got a unique workbook and worksheet identifier but don't know how to use wildcards to get my macro to open the right workbook.
I have a worksheet which is used by multiple users at the same time, at the end of the day I can have upto 10 files. The layout of all the files is the same, same number of columns and rows, the only difference would be the file name eg:Test1.xls, Test2.xls etc. information in test1.xls will not be any other file. At the end of the day, these files are emailed and saved in a particular folder.
What I need is get information from all the files saved in a particular folder and keep columns which have data. Additionally, if there is no data for any columns after combining the columns to display an alert. The final file should have information with only data in individual columns and arranged in the order such as Center 1, center 2, Center 3
Eg:test1
Column A Column B Column C.....upto 30 columns
Center 1 Center 2 center 3....upto 30 centers
1 4
2
3 5
test2.xls
Column A Column B Column C.....upto 30 columns
Center 1 Center 2 Center 3.....upto 30 centers
5
The final file will look like this
Finaltest.xls
Column A Column B Column C.....upto 30 columns
1 4 4
2 5
3 5
