Separating Data Entries Of Different Lengths All In Single Column
Jan 20, 2008
a way to separate out data that has been all entered into a single column
code .....
The above information is a sample of the data. The data has been entered into 1 column, column A.
I want to separate the entries in to 1 column each for vehicle ID, full journal description, actual journal, EE code, Report total and equipment description.
Here's what I need my spread sheet to do.....lets say in column's C, D, and E (all in Row 2) C D E 500001 700002 800003 500003 700003 800001 500002 700001 800002
I have several large excel spreadsheets with different pieces of information that appear in a single column and I am looking for a way to seperate the data into multiple columns. I have read many different articles and how-tos and none seem to help with what I have...here goes:
I have a column that has a few thousand lines of info that looks like this:
Acme Stores Name: Smith, Steve Reed, Tom ShopRite Stores Name: Stadler, Fred O'Neil, Tim
etc.
So, its a repetition of the store name, then a cell that just says 'name', followed by the people names associated with that store.
I am looking to somehow separate out the store names, leaving just the people's names in that column - but keeping the store names in a seperate column so the people names can be associated with the store name. The only thing that I think might be able to help, is that the 'name' field is constant and its always the cell below the store name. I don't know if that is something that is even remotely helpful here, but thats the only thing I can think of if someone knew some type of conditional command that would pick out a previous cell from one with the word 'name' in it.
I am using old macro code in excel written several years ago. I am trying to educate myself to update and improve the macros I am using but not making much progress. This macro is used to record data from a DDE link to a Data Acquisition System. The D-AQ system sends the data points to r5c3:r5c9 typically. The macro then records the data points in those cells to the next row in sequence on a specific time interval. However, the macro is recording duplicate entries for each set of data points. Sometimes just two, but has been as many as four duplicates. I have a remove duplicates macro to run, after the fact, but preventing them from occurring in the first place is the goal. I included the application.wait method at 10 second intervals after the application .OnTime method, but it isn't preventing the duplicates.

I am trying to write a simple code for some project management/scheduling spreadsheet in my office. We have projects with multiple people working at one time.
I store all names in an array and compare those values to the cells containing the various names. It works when only one person is named, i.e. only [CR], but with multiple people, it doesn't read the data, i.e. [CR, NS, MR], that is separated by commas.
Is there a command to recognize the first two characters and compare them to something, then characters, 5&6, and 9&10, so forth....?
I tried to use the with characters command that help says will take the "3rd character space and make the font bold" but it doesn't recognize my inequality.
I have a glossary with 400+ rows in column A. See examples below. I'd like to separate them so that the term is in column A and the definition is in column B. Once Done I will not need the . Normally instead of that tag I would have a hyphen separate the term from definition but the fact that some terms have a hyphen like "D-VHS" was throwing me further. In the end I will not need a separator because everything will be in separate cells.
DSL Digital Subscriber Line is a technology for bringing high-bandwidth information to homes and small businesses over ordinary copper telephone lines. A DSL line can carry both data and voice signals and the data part of the line is continuously connected.
D-VHS Connects a digital audio/video cable for use with some D-VHS digital VCRs.
E-Mail Messages sent to a customer's receiver that are viewed on their television screen. Pending messages are indicated by an icon on the on-screen status display (channel marker) and by having the Power button flash. (Not all receivers have a blinking light.)
What I need to do is sort certain entries in longer list (column A, it is in .csv format and needs to be in it so coordinates and names and ID, all sorted with commas) and I have another list (column C) which is shorter list of certain IDs. I googled and tried and got some results for the basic structure but the fuction seems to fail. It doesn't matter how I get that third list done, but there is only one criteria: since the list in column A is really long and those entries need to keep the .csv formatting, the function should copy that info what is in the matching cells.
Let me try to put it simple: .csv cells from column A that have matching ID from column C should be copied to column B (or N).
I've got a Listbox in a User form that looks at data on another spreadsheet purely for informational purposes, not to be selected. I have two problems with what it's doing:
1) There are 23 columns, of varying widths. However the listbox uses a standard width, so some items are truncated and some have too much room.
2) The data changes, and the number of rows may change from 2 to 15000. I've set the RowSource to cover the ranged from A1:W15000, but if only 2-300 lines are selected the user can't grab the scrollbar button to scroll through, but must instead use the arrow, which is rather slow.
Is there any way to set the column widths to match the data, and the Range to only go as far as the last populated row?
I've reached a point in this macro where I'm stuck with NO clue how to achieve this, or even whether it can be done. In the Before sheet below, I need to bold the cells in H & I if the word "Total" is in G. I could probably manage that part, but here's the weird part: I need to add a formula to H & I of each row with "Total" in G to sum the numbers above it, from the previous total down to the current total. But there's no telling how long each range might be on a given report; from 1 row up to 8 rows.
THEN, in the second row below the end of columns H & I, I need to put a formula totalling all of the preceding Totals
I wonder if there might be a way to tell it to put a formula in H by each cell that has "Total" in G, with the formula summing or subtotalling everything from the cell in H that has data in F to the cell just above the "Total".
Need a ormula that will calculate various lengths of time within a column.
For example: I would like to be able to add 02:43 (2 minutes 43 seconds) plus 01:10 (1 minute 10 seconds) plus 05:15 (5 minutes and 15 seconds) ..and accurately arrive at the sum of 09:08 (9 minutes 8 seconds)
Currently, whenever I input the value of 02:43- and assign the value of 'TIME'.. it reads it as 14:23 (clock time..not length of time.) I will only be using data that follows the format of mm:ss (minutes:seconds).
With I click on the Macro Button I want to display the contents as shown in sheet 2
That means
In sheet 1 there are number of items purchased shown with different rates.
After clicking on the Macro button in Sheet2 I want the following
1. All the single entries purchase should not be displayed 2. All the items purchased 2 or more times but same amount should not be displayed. 3. Only items purchased two or more times should be displayed and that also with different values. Here if the item is purchased 4 times but only once the amount is different then also it should be displayed.
I have given only few items but actual items are more.
The serial numbers should also be arranged automatically starting from 1,2,3, etc.
What is the code if I do not want to change the serial numbers. with a suitable macro.
I have a performance extract from a system which has performance for multiple accounts but the data is off different lengths and shown vertically. I wish to move the data onto a new sheet but rotated(transposed) horizontally
Attached is a snapshot of the report that is usually about 20,000 lines. See input and output tabs.
Is there any way that a macro could be created to do this.
I have a file which is divided into 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 years in column A. I want these data in different column according to year. For example, Column E(2011), Column F(2012), Column G(2013) and Column H(2014).
Attaching sample a file with sample data to be converted.
It is also to be in consideration that data in column B and C should not be repeated and all year data should come in front of it.
I want this by coding or formula only. I dont want to use pivot table for this.
Macro for a repetitive task. I have data in every 3rd column (max of 11 columns) that I want to extract and append the data in column A in sheet 2. The data contains some blank cells and I'd like to remove them also.
I've attached an example in this workbook : tractdata.xlsx
I am half way through writing a bigger macro, but am stuck at this stage.
I need to copy from a block of data as shown:
However, this column varies in length each time, and I only want to copy down to where the entries stop.
I also only want to copy W1:X6, and columns Y, AA, AB, AD (but only down to the end of the column)
I've tried using the End(xlDown)).Copy function, but obviously this doesn't work with the block up the top and the gap between the block and the columns
I need to copy cells M6 to S6 down to all rows in a worksheet. The columns will remain M to S. The number of rows however vary in each worksheet.
How do I get the macro to read "End Down" with varying number of rows. I will need to do other functions also using "End Down" so if possible is there a generic code for this.
Let's say I've got nine entries of data. Column A is aligned like this:
One One One Two Two Two Three Three Three
What I would like to do is write a macro so that the three entries with "One" in Column A get cut and pasted into a newly-created sheet named "One." All of the Two's get cut and pasted into sheet "Two" and the same thing with the Three's.
Assume there's an even number of rows containing textual data.
COL A text1 text2 text3 text4
I would like to compare the lengths of text1 to text2, and return the row containing the greater of the two/delete the row containing the shorter of the two. In either case, the contents below would then have to be shifted up by one. Then repeat for the next 2 rows all the way down to the last row using VBA.
I have one column that has forename and surname information and I need to separate the surname into a separate column next to the forename.
Is there a formula for this?
I've tried the formula where you can request to move so many characters to the right, but it's difficult with all of the surnames being a different number of characters.
I have a very large spreadsheet, 25 columns and over 16000 rows. I want to merge all of the values into a single column. One caveat, not every cell has data in it, as shown below:
im currently working on a project that needs to consolidate the data per given date. but the thing is, all of them are located into one column. i was able to separate each category into separate columns but now, i cannot align the data on a per date basis.
I'm doing a termination report at work and I need to create a pie chart based on data in a selected column. Ive never used excel charts before but I cant get the pie chart to display the information that I want.I created a sample workbook. Its very a simple column of data. I would like a pie chart based on the percentages of "yes" to "no". I havent been able to get it to work.
I am having data in two columns (A & B ). Now I want to get the data in the single column(column C) . Here column A(Name) & Column B(Mobile No). it is something like below.
Here is my input data:
I want to get output results like below in the column C
I have to worksheets: Sheet1, Sheet2. In sheet 1, I have some data like this (in first col is 1, second col is a, third col is c etc. ):
1 a b c d 2 e f g h . . . .
I need in sheet 2 in range A1(only in this range one big text), something like this: a,c,e,g ........ ( row1-col2,row1-col4,row1-col2,row1-col4 ......) ( separated by ","). The number of rows from sheet 1 is variable. The dataf a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h ... is some random text.
I am trying to take data from multiple rows and columns (matrix) and reformat it all to fit in a single column.
It would be great if I could select the cells I want to reformat into the single column as the number of rows and columns containing the original data is not always the same (ie 20x20, 21x35, 56x200) etc...
I have a worksheet of data collected from on online list of names and addresses all in one column. I'd like to pivot the data so I can sort it, etc. Unfortunately, the entries are not the same length (meaning some have five rows some have six or seven, etc. I have created an only file so everyone can see the issue.
