Sorting A Combination Text / Numeric Value?
Oct 2, 2013
I have a series of identification values that begin with text and end with a number. The trouble with sorting on this field only affects where the the first 9 entries end up since the number portion is not prefixed with a zero. Is there a way to sort these numbers so that ID2 (and not ID10) follows ID1?
ID1
ID2
ID3

ID9
ID10
ID11

I'm currently trying to make a sort macro that sorts a row of data that has a combination of numerical data and the text entry "N.A."
e.g.:
My field:
1
2
N.A
4
5
N.A
9
I want to sort the cells by descending value. But the result appears as:
My field:
N.A
N.A
9
5
4
2
1
But I want to numbers to appear first and have the "N.A."s to be after the number, since I have about 100 columns and some rows have like 30 N.A., which is pretty bad for usability if all that appears in the first screen are "N.A."
EDIT: by the way by ascending the data is fine since it orders by smallest number to largest and THEN the "N.A."

How can I separate the following numeric/text combination into two (2) separate columns in Excel?
302ALTO
406AMZN
451AMRC
404AMAD
605ANCC
405ADRC
The result would be:

on combination of numbers
on the extreme left column, i have 23 numbers from A1:A23. All 23 numbers are in the form of 4 digit. For example A1 there is 1234, i need to display the possible 3 digit combination of this in the same row (like say 123,124,234,134 in B1,C1,D1 AND E1).
Another example in A2 there is 3545, i need to display 354,455,355 in the same row in B2,C2,D2
I need to perform this operation for the 23 numbers on the extreme left row. Can give me some hint on the code.

I have two columns, left is called OD right is called ID. In each OD there are multiple ID's but this is shown for example as:
OD-----------ID
254000----0
254000----127000
285750----0
285750----127000
285750----158750
304800----0
304800----127000
Therefore, showing duplicates for the OD. The required format is:
254000---0---127000
285750---0---127000---158750
304800---0---127000
This shows each OD in the first column (no duplicates) and the corresponding ID's in the columns on the right. The example is done with small amount of numbers however, the data I am working with consists of thousands of rows therefore is not practical to do by hand. Please see attached spread sheet for example template with both unsorted and sorted data shown.
I attempted to do this by using the following code:

In column A I have alpha-numeric data similar to:
2
A1
3
A20
A186
B4
B13
1
C5
C3
And I need to sort them so that they are like:
1
2
3
A1
A20
A186
B4
B13
C3
C5
With the numbers first, in ascending order. Then the letters, grouped by letter ascending, and the number following them. But I can't have it where it looks at the first number after the letter (A1,A186,A20). It has to look at the WHOLE number and then sort it.

I'm tying myself in knots when trying to combine logical formulas to return a text value based on multiple cell values.
Cell A1 can equal 1-10, and cell B1 can also contain the values 1-10.
I want C1 to display the text "YC" if B1 value is equal to 9 or 10. I want C1 to display the text "SC" if B1 value is 5-8, and A1 value is 4-10. Any other combination of values should return a blank cell.
I tried splitting this into two components before trying to make it fit into a single equation, and i can achieve the first condition of display "YC" =IF(AND(A1>=9,A1

I have three columns that each have a drop down of text options; column A has three options, column B has three options and column C has two options. I want to have a fourth column that will show a text value dependent on the combination of the three columns.
It ends up being 18 variations so my IF formula just won't compute.
This is basically the format I have and works for a few values then just chucks up an error when I extend it to all 18 variations:
IF(AND(A1="text",B1="text2",C1="text3"),"show this text",
IF(AND(B1="other",B1="other2",C1="other3"),"then show this", ) etc etc
Any way I can get this to work for all 18 possible outcomes??

I have two (2) different values in the same column one value is text (INV) the other is a time date stamp 05/18/2012 10:48:32. The text i want to return in a seperate column for these two is if it is INV then the result is "PENDING" if it is a date 05/18/2012 etc. then the result would be "PAID" example:
Payment Status
05/08/2012 10:30:12
INV
05/17/2012 08:27:37
INV
and so on...................

Wondering if it is possible to convert a string into a numeric value. The idea is that if you have a list of names, if you could add up the numeric values of the names together and hide it at the end of the list. Then if a name on the list changes, then so will that value.
I know how to do this in C or Python, but I am rather new to the syntax of VBA.

I often use vlookups that fail because of numeric/text discrepancies. I was always taught that if you're not going to do math on a field, it should be text. Such as zip codes or social security number.
Anyway, I know the easy way to convert text to numbers is paste special > multiply by 1. But what's the easiest way to convert numeric to text?

SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(E10:E29,E10:E29)>0,1)). this is the formula I currently use to read employee numbers and it works when we just use the number i.e. 011004. When we use the full employee number with alpha characters it does not work i.e. ASMO011004. I have used helper cells to do similar, but am not wanting to do this way for simplicity reasons.

I have some dates in Excel in different formats and I need to convert them all to a uniform date format of MM/DD/YYYY.
The data is in this format:
82012
8152012
52012
5152012
The days of the month don't really matter. It's the month and year that I need in a date format.

I have a spreadsheet with employee ID's along with other data, I need to see if any of the ID's are out of this range 0001 thru 1368, now some of the ID's have A,B,C, (e.I 0245A, 1101B,) but some do not have them. if the ID's are out of range I need to highlight it, cant figure this out, because of the Alpha characters.

Are test have some text values RA = 0 and A= 0.5 as well as numeric values. I am currently using the formula =IF(COUNTIF(A1:A13,"A"),(COUNTIF(A1:A13,"A")*0.5)+SUM(A1:A13))/COUNTA(A1:A13) which is not very good at all, but it works for this instance. I also use the formula in B2 =IF(A1="RA",0,IF(A1="A",0.5,A1)) as a helper column but I need a stabile formula with out a helper column that will allow me to average text and numeric values. In the future, they are going to expand the text values part i.e. B = 0.3, BD = 0.2 etc....

I'm trying to extract alphanumeric data before and after a numeric string. The numeric string is in the middle of a URL, which is a varying distance from the start and end.
Here's a sample of my data:
URL Page ID Headline Section quiz.impression-http://www.stuff.co.nz/2677193 2677193
http://www.stuff.co.nz/travel/267779...flying-JetStar 2677794 Why-I-hated-flying-JetStar travel http://www.stuff.co.nz/technology/di...eo-a-smash-hit 1675213 Wedding-dance-video-a-smash-hit technology/digital-living http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/crim...ce-in-Auckland 2678248 Man-shot-by-police-in-Auckland national/crime http://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/rugby/s...it-for-Blackie 3674350 NZRU-set-to-bend-it-for-Blackie sport/rugby/super-14
I start with just column A and generate the other three from that.
I'm using some excellent code from a Mr Excel guru (thanks again Peter) to extract the 8-digit numeric string in column B, I just need C (after) and D (before).
That macro is:
Dim Bits
Dim c As Range
Dim i As Long
For Each c In Range("A4", Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))....................

I am trying to write a formula that will recgonise either text or numicial value as the result is used with a match formula. In column C I have data as follows:
1400 SBY
1230 9985
ADO
I am using a =--RIGHT(C4,4) formula in column E to get the required data and then using my match formula to extract other data. How can I rewrite the above formula so that it can read either text or numbers that will allow my match formula to work.

I'm trying to find out exactly how I can use sum product on cells that have text and numeric values. Here's my sample data (6 points):
TN FX1576 20, TN FX1577 25, AZ FX1577 30, AZ FX1577 35, FW FX 1577 40, and FW 1577 45.
I wish to do the following: I want to sum all of the right numeric values based on the first two text values(TN, AZ, or FW). I want to sum these numbers to their respective total cells at the top of the page. So far I can sum the numeric values fine using the following formula: =sumproduct((right(range,2)*1) but when I try to differentiate between the respective locations (AZ, TN, or FW) I get an error message.
Attached is an example of what I'm trying to do along with the formula I'm currently using and yellow shading to represent where I want my respective sums to go.

I have a column that's supposed to be an address, but somehow got the
company name mixed in at the beginning:
123 Main Street
One Park Place
Acme Company, Inc. 456 Easy Street
Alpha-Omega Dry Cleaning Four-Twenty Highway One
I can use the formula
=RIGHT(A1,(LEN(A1)-((MIN(SEARCH({0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9},A1&"0123456789")-1)))))
for stripping the text before an actual number
Acme Company, Inc. 456 Easy Street
to
456 Easy Street
BUT - I'm not sure how to strip before a text representation of a
number (one, two, three, etc)
Alpha-Omega Dry Cleaning Four-Twenty Highway One
to
Four-Twenty Highway One

I have a formula that I can't get to paste successfully in the forum - it keeps getting cut off?!? ... but I think I can probably simplify my explanation to get the answer I want anyway.
I need to only show the value from AUS!$H$2:$H$17 if the C2 & D2 combination are the same as the AUS!$B$2:AUS!$B$17 & $AUS!$C$2:AUS!$C$17 combination.

I am trying to do is extract the volume size of products in 'ml'
from 10k plus products from a description field cell.
this description field could also contain the weight of the product in grams
so I cannot just do a search for a numeric string ,
it has to be associated with the milli-litres statement .
is is possible to do a sort of ' *ml ' search and then select and copy to another cell ???
