Separating Data With Multiple Delimiters Into Columns AND Rows
Apr 8, 2013
I have a column within a spreadsheet that has data separated by 2 delimiters, a "" and a "/". (This data has been extracted from a linux-based file.)
For example: "1100789/3200899/6xlm-sgt-455-0987"
The items of data are from a bill of material (parts explosion) and the number preceding the "" is a quantity and the numbers preceding the "/" is a sub-part number of the main part number that is entered into a column to the left of this data string. (unseen in the example)
I need to take this string of numbers and place the quantity in one column, the part number in another column, then add a row and continue to populate each column until the data has all been separated, then move on to the next main part number row to continue the process.
for example:
1 100789
3 200899
6 xlm-sgt-455-0987
Is this possible with the data tools in a spreadsheet, or will I need to write a macro?
I have an interesting problem I've been presented with and rather than try formula after formula I thought I'd propose it to you all (see attached sheet).
I have 7269 rows with 1930 distinct claims. I need to pull out the Primary issue (done that) then across from it put in each and every secondary issue (from col C). The largest # of claim lines is 89 (see E1). So in theory I need to find that claim and put all the secondary issues in the next 89 columns from row 4990 beginning in col H.
I've done a couple examples of what I'm looking for in rows 2, 4 and 5 and 8 but beyond that ...
So every place where there is a value in col F I'd like the list of secondary issues in the same row.
I am trying to consolidate an .835 raw text file that is full of receipts and payments into rows by specific values/characters. Once opened within notepad/text format, I figured out that the ~CLP is the referencing value/character used to break up each individual payment.
I need to somehow use the ~CLP as the value(s) to sort the text into new rows, with each row pre-leading with the ~CLP.
I need to separate multiple values separated by comma in a single cell into individual rows. However, I also need that the data in the adjacent columns of the original cell also to be repeated in the new rows. The problem is illustrated in the attached file.
that the table is just a sample and most of the tables I work with contain at least 15,000 rows,
Whoever created my customer contacts Excel sheet prior to my arrival entered all of the contacts address information into one cell and in order for me to put this info into Access, I need them seperated. For example:
10000 X Street Louisville, KY 40291 is in cell E2
I would like it to read:
10000 X Street in cell E2 Louisville in cell F2 KY in cell G2 40291 in cell H2
They also did this with phone numbers (ie. desk# / cell# / fax#).
There are over 1000 contacts in this sheet, so it would take forever to split these apart row by row.
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.

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.)
I have created a spreadsheet to show some reports and I wanted to serch for some datas which overloops themeselves. If you can have a look at a test file I attached you will see the full picture. I have 2 tables, where the 2nd one is on the right side of the 1st one. 1st table:..............
I attached sample file with data I received (more than 50k rows in each file) is contained in 86 files with varying population lengths in each file that needs to be broken down as shown in the attached file.
I'm trying to write code to join two columns of data, and then join all of those into one cell.CA
California
DE Delaware
CT Connecticut
I want to be able to run the macro and have it put {"CA":"California","DE":"Delaware","CT":"Connecticut"} into cell C1.
I was thinking that this would have to be a two part macro. First, it would take each specific row and join CA and California and add the colon, quotation marks, and the comma, and put it Column C. Then, after it's gone through every row, it would join every cell in column C together.
This is what I've written so far:
VB: Sub test1() Dim r As Range Dim lr As Integer
[Code]....
Now I need to figure out the second part. How do I then take all of the join cells in column C and join them together, adding the curly braces at the beginning and the end, and removing the comma from the very last row?
I have a column full of text with most data separated by commas, except sometimes between the commas there is a string, marked by ' ' , which itself contains commas.
For example: 45,'im a string, look at me',67,43,5,'im another string, look at me',78
I try to make excel put all the data into columns, so 'im a string, look at me' will have its own column, instead of being split into two columns. I tried telling excel that the ' character marks strings, but it just removed the apostrophes and kept splitting any string that contained a comma. I tried to use a special delimiter,' but excel didn't allow me to. Does someone have a macro that will do the text to columns for me, or is this possible to do with the regular text to columns feature of excel?
I would like to extract multiple numbers from a single cell. The cells contain -, /, and blank spaces are delimiters. An example is 4 - 3 1/4 and because of the way they use that number, it really means 4 inches and 3.25 fifths of an inch (3.25/5 inches) which is weird. I want to go through each cell and store the 4, 3, and 1/4 as variables so I can then manipulate to convert them to the proper inch value (I can perform the conversion code, I just need to know how to set those variables in the cell). And I would like it to automatically do it when a cell has been changed. formatting to maintain overall table width dimensions so if you know anything about that,
both cells are blank
4 - 3 1/4
cell value is enter in on the left
4 - 3 1/4 4.65 converted cell value appears on the left
How to selectively transpose a row of dates to columns. I'm not sure exactly how to explain this, so below is an example of what the data look like entered into the spreadsheet:
study ID provider visit 1 visit 2 visit 3 visit 4 visit 5
[Code]....
I'd like to extract the data into a new table on another worksheet that looks like this:
Date provider study id visit # 7/21/13 Test Name 10001
[Code]...
This is just a quick example, but basically it would continue through all possible visit dates for the first study ID, then move to the next row of data (i.e. the next study ID) and extract the data from the row and transpose it in the appropriate columns moving down...
I need to find data in columns B and C and add the figures from column F, which drop down one line. I have written the following formula which is giving me far higher figures than I should be getting
I need a macro that will take hours by day (columns) by service (rows) per client (sheet) and summarize the data into one database of rows containing client, service, date, and hours. The "Summary of Charges" should only include service hours > zero. I am attaching a sample file. I have little to no experience with vba so I don't even know where to begin. I can copy code.
Having some problems splitting data within a single column into several using VBA rather than a Formula. (I have been able to get working using a formula). I have found a few similar theads but nothing i seem to be able to convert with my some what limited skills
My data is always in a sheet called "Release Data" in column A, the number of rows varies daily. The data is always extracted with the delimiters in the same position E.G.
NNNNNN_AAA_Variable length txt
I would like to split the data into columns I, J and K.
I have a column with random times that are not seperated by any commas or spaces how can i seperate them into different columns. For example in A1 i have 12:3213:5420:32 this represent three different times 12.32 13.54 and 20.32 (each time has the same format as shown) and i want to display these as B1=12:32 C1=13:54 and D1=20:32 then do the same for the rest of column A?
Seperating TEXT in different columns placed at non-fixed location in a cell...
I have some data which contains people's name and the places ( i.e Cities) mixed which I need to seperate, however the challenging part there is no consistency in data as the city can appear first in the middle , last or even just the city name in the cell but it needs to be seperated ...
I have a list of 2500 companies. In each cell there is the company name, street address, and phone number. And of course, each one is of varying length. I need a way to put the company name, street address, and phone numbers in seperate columns. I tried going to text to columns but it wouldn't work due to the varying lengths.
As enclosed in my workbook,I want to separate the numbers between two strings of which one is in the left hand side and other is in mid.The data is in Column D.The simple way to understand is that,
Total Amount = Amount X Exchange Rate
Total Amount is in Column B, where as "Amount X Exchange Rate" is in combined form in column D.Yes, this I want to separate i.e Amount separately column and Exchange Rate in separate column.I have shown one expected result in column E,F.There are certain characters like ],= which you have to not to take any amount after ] or =.The currency is somewhere,$/$$/INR/IRS,etc.
I have a field that contains rows of data, each made up of a Number followed by Text. The length of the numbers differ - sometimes 4 digits, sometimes 5 or 6. Similarly, the text differs by word-count. An example is
2546 Nags Head 75698 Dog & Duck 634 Crown
I want a way of dividing the numbers from the text (numbers in one column and text in another).
Standard 'Text to Columns' won't work: I can't use 'Fixed Width' due to the number-length varying, and I can't use 'Delimited' and [space] as it will then split all the text up word-for-word (concatenating them back will take ages as my list is 480 rows long).
I have an excel sheet that I'm trying to format. Basically, the excel book contains sheets (with the months), and each sheet contains a list of clients, their package, their status, date assigned, and date updated.
I've made another sheet (Sheet2) that fetches everything and consolidating it to one sheet. Sheet 2 also cleans up the data to display only the items that are 'completed'.
The issue I'm having now is in splitting the list (assuming it has been cleaned up to show only the 'completed' items. I would need to split the list first by the date they were updated, and then if they were assigned the same date or not. In short:
--Get all items with date updated = Month1 ----If date assigned = Month 1: List items under table 1 ----If date assigned < Month 1: List items under table 2
I've used macro on the excel (and I'm not sure it's efficient enough. I'm not proficient with VB, so...). I'm not sure if it will work on Mac.
I need to separate out some rows by date into new worksheets, but I need the dates to be a range. Our cycles are separated into periods, which last about 1 month, so I need one new worksheet for each period. I was thinking about having like a cover sheet that defines the exact dates (like column A has the period title "P1, P2, P3,..." and column B has the start date and column C has the end date).
Then on the next sheet is where I would keep my Input data. So I need to separate the rows of the input data sheet out by the periods. The date for each data entry is kept in column M. I have attached a sample workbook explaining what I tried to describe above.
I want to to copy selected columns of sales data into rows organized by salesperson. I have just started out with VBA and find that I cannot do it myself.
My original data are in the form of the following:
invoice_no product sales qty total
[Code] .....
I want to display the data in another sheet in the following format:
1. Copy data from original file (I do not want to do anything in the original file) into the spreadsheet (Target worksheet)where the code should run. 2. In sheet 1 of Target Worksheet, there are 2 columns which I need to set criterias on namely Column D and Column L 3. In Column D, I want to specify 3 criterias namely A, B and C 4. In Column L, I want to specify 5 criterias namely London, Frankfurt, New York, Sydney and Tokyo 5. If Criterias in 3 and 4 are met, copy all rows into Sheet 2 of Target Worksheet
I have a large spreadsheet that contains and employee number and then up to 5 entries of Dependants (each has its own column). What I need to do is have 1 for each of the dependant information instead of 5 and have multiple rows for the employee if they have more than one dependant.
At the moment I am sorting the data by dep 1 name, pasting the data into a new sheet, deleting all the dep 1 stuff, sorting by dep name 2 and pasting that.........etc.
It doesn’t take too long to do but I just wondered if there might be a quicker way as this will be something I will need to do more often.
