Sorting By The 5th Character In A Part Number
Dec 30, 2008
I have part numbers in a column that look like the numbers listed below. All numbers begin with A, so the default sort begins with the first number. I would like to sort the list using the middle three numbers denoted by the red x's in the first example. Is this possible?
A 385 XXX 0055 A 385 466 0060 A 385 466 0160 A 385 584 7024 A 387 284 0185 A 388 017 0160 A 389 260 1485 A 389 262 0293 A 389 262 4935 A 389 262 9134 A 389 267 2819 A 389 267 3319 A 393 328 0065 A 398 267 3319 A 403 990 0210 A 403 997 0620 A 404 260 0074

Is there anyway of aligning part of a formula to a certain character limit (63)?
For example:
Aaaaaa(A1), bbbbbbb(B1), 1111111.00(C1)
Aaaa(A2), bbbb(B2), 11.00(C2)
to
Aaaaaa(A1), bbbbbbb(B1),____________1111111.00(C2)
Aaaa(A2), bbbb(B2),______________________11.00(C2)

I have a fairly large list (1200 rows) of part numbers that I would like to sort. The part number has text and numbers, with a number in the middle. I need excel to ignore this middle number when sorting (but not any of the other numbers). Excel currently sorts like this:
MKDSN 1,5/ 3
MKDSN 1,5/ 3-5,08
MKDSN 1,5/ 4
MKDSN 1,5/14-5,08
when I want it to sort like this:
MKDSN 1,5/ 3
MKDSN 1,5/ 4
MKDSN 1,5/ 3-5,08
MKDSN 1,5/14-5,08
The first few letters in the part number or the numbers at the end aren't consistant. But it's always the numbers after the "/" and before the "-" (where there is one) that I want to ignore.
At the very least I would I need the list in alphabetical order. I don't need the list to be sorted by the "ignored number" at all. Meaning, I would be happy with this result:
MKDSN 1,5/ 3
MKDSN 1,5/ 4
MKDSN 1,5/ 2
MKDSN 1,5/14-5,08
MKDSN 1,5/ 3-5,08
MKKDS 2/24
MKKDS 2/20-3,5
MKKDS 2/ 2-3,5
I don't mind getting rid of "/" or spaces or "," in the part number, but I would prefer to not split the part number between two columns.
I tried creating a custom list, but there are just too many varieties to list them all.

I'm selecting only some rows in a Table trying to sort only these rows (e.g. rows 11 thru 75 in a 200 row table), but when I hit Sort Excel always overrides my selection by selecting all the rows in the table instead. The same thing happens in VBA. I'm using Excel 2007.

I have a spreadsheet with 2 worksheets. On the first "active parts" I have a list of active part numbers and on the second "All Parts" I have all of the parts available.
I want to compare every part in the All Parts worksheet to see if the part number exists on the Active Parts sheet - if it's there, I would like it to return the value "Active" in column B in All Parts. I have a formula in column B in All Parts that seems to work for the first few, but as soon as it finds one that is active, the rest of the cells below all return "Active".

I have a spreadsheet listing all my vehicles and their respective oil filter part number. Now, some vehicles share the same oil filter and I am trying to find a way to return the vehicle description when using the filter # as a value. In my example below, I am looking to fill the third column with the Vehicle that also shares the same oil filter number. i.e. in the Dodge row, toyota would appear in the third column and vice versa in the Toyota row.
Vehicle
Oil Filter #
Also used with
Dodge
51515
Honda
54565
Toyota
51515
I am not well versed in excel lingo which is probably why I have a hard time coming up with a method that works.

I received a request from a coworker regarding custom formatting some numbers in his spreadsheet. Those numbers are serial numbers of 20 characters long. Sometimes in my files I use this custom number formatting ###0 and its enough for the data I handle. But when I tried to use it in his spreadsheet, the following shows:
8456891070060510000
The cell must look like this: 08456891070060510302
The reason to have it like this is due to a Delivery Program requirement to deliver Set-top Units for repair. The Delivery Program do not recognize other format than the above. My coworker takes the data from a spreadsheet, and the spreadsheet needs a custom number format to display the correct number.
find a custom number format to be able to display as my coworker need it??

How can I drop the whole number part of a number and leaving only the decimal part of the number. Then multiply the decimal part of the number with a number. Then repeat this in a sequence. The object is to convert Lat and Long decimals to Hr. Min. Sec.
eg. 53.535663 .535663*60=32.13978 .13978*60=8 53 32 8
eg. 113.352640 .352640*60=21.1584 .1584*60=9 113 21 9
eg. 113.306579 .306579*60=18.39474 .39474*60=23 113 18 23

I'm trying to determine if the last character of a cell is a number or not a number. So in a cell I may have a string like:
ZXC123
or
ZXC123A
If the last character is not a number I want the letter returned. So I thought I could use a formula like: =IF(NOT(ISNUMBER(RIGHT(D88,1))), RIGHT(D88,1),""). However for the string ZXC123 it still returns '3' so anyone have any ideas how I can do this?

I have a number of entries in column A.
The format is:
A1 B680192 Middle School
A2 Office Building Project
and so on;
I want to test if char.s 2 through 7 are numbers.
I can seperate one char at a time and use CODE function to check if the result is between 48 and 57.
I know how to split all six char.s at a time e.g. 680192, but I don't know how to test to see if it is a number?
ISNUMBER function doesn't work.
If I can do it with excel function, it would be better. If VBA has to be used, so be it.

I have a spreadsheet which I automatically generate using VBA. One of the columns lists account numbers. After the macro is complete, the account numbers are non-numeric and left justified. However if I select one of the account numbers by clicking on its cell, and then edit the account number in the formula window, it changes the cells property to numeric and right-justifies the cell.

In column N I would like a formula to add 3 columns,e.g. C and D and F. The problem is I want the symbol ~ replaced by 1.0 for calculation purposes.I need a solution in 1 column,if possible. I have made a few efforts,but just not getting there. See attached section of sheet.

Cell B23:687968307=ISTEXT(MID(RIGHT(B23,3),1,1))TRUE
Cell B24:C8796B07=ISTEXT(MID(RIGHT(B24,3),1,1))TRUE
I'm trying to test whether the third last character (3 and B) is a text or not.
As you can see, the reslts are both TRUE, but I'm expecting to see that the first one should be FALSE, as '3' is a number right?
Likewise, if I replace the formula with ISNUMBER instead of ISTEXT, the results are both FALSE, but shouldn't the first one be TRUE, again, because the '3' is a number?
Have I missed something in the formula, or is there a better way of expressing this formula?

I have a cell range that is passed as a String to a function, and within that function I need to extract only the Column letter. If it was just 1 letter it would be simple, but it may be 2, so does anybody know of a way of testing to see if the second character is a letter or a number?

They have a list of data numbers which are yy/#####/@@@@@ (2digit year/casenumber/alphanumeric code). Where some people have typed in the code wrong (6 or more digits in case number) we want to know is there a way of doing this.
Ideally I want something that says "If 9th character is a slash then yes, if not no" or "if 9th character is a number then yes, if not, no".
Example of data is (where we want third option highlighted as erroneous (6 not 5 numbers in middle)
09/56487/KFJT
09/42105/PLOUR3
09/002145/PLIFD
09/02145/ASDF

I have an Excel file that quiries Google for driving distance (someone helped me with this.) It returns the correct miles but has some 'extra' characters. Example:
31.1&nb or 886&nbs
So the answer always has &nbs after the mileage. I tried the following function which works when there is a decimal but fails when there is not. =REPLACE(MID(E2,1,SEARCH("&",E2,1)-1),SEARCH(".",E2,1),1,","). Can this be done with a function or must it be VB script? Which is fine if it is.

I am trying to do a VLOOKUP on a worksheet with a list of our Part numbers. The Part numbers begin with zero and go into the alphabet with anywhere from 3 digits upto 18.
When I sort the sheet Excel sorts the numeric by the number of digits in the number AND totally ignores the first zero. I can not format as numbers since again Excel drops the first zero. Therefore, when I do the VLOOKUP it will not look through the entire numeric list for the higher digit numbers. Is there anyway to resolve my VLOOKUP issue with indexing or?

Pretty sure this has been asked but have searched the forum to no avail, but I need to extract the numbers from a value which has a letter on the end.
eg. 1000x I need to get out the 1000
or 2p I need the 2
I have sooooo many values ranging in numbers of digits, so just basic left(A1,2) won't work, I'm sure I've seen a search or find function but don't know how to use them!

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'll try to keep this brief. Our part #'s look like this. XP014567. Where the first pair of characters stand for a value(say XP=Bolt), the second pair stand for a value(01= Grade 2), and so on. What I would like to be able to do is type in the part numer and have the description automatically populate. Is there an easy way to do this? I'm running Excel 2003.

im looking to piece together all possible part number combinations with a one condition:
The values in Column A must come before the values in Column B. The values in Column B must come before the values in Column C. And So forth...
Example: If Column A had the values of A, B, C; Column B had the values of -1, -2, -3; and Column C had the values of -01, -02, -03
The outcome(s) would be: A-1-01, A-1-02, A-1-03 and so forth...
How can I get it to do that? But I need the flexibility of adding on more "options" should the part number be bigger (for future part number combinations).

I was given this new task this year. Normally this process is done by hand, by one of the managers, but since it now belongs to me, I look at it as being a little to tedious to do. So I would rather have excel do it for me.
We have about 5 CSRs who handle clients based on the first letter in the clients name. I guess to make this easier to update in the future if the macro would respond to a cell reference for the number of CSRs that would be great. I will need to perform this task Annually, and of course each time a CSR leaves or we hire another one. This way work loads are kept close to the same.
I have a list of letters in column A. Each of these letters has a corresponding number of clients in column B. I have been given the task to try to split these values equally between the 5 individuals. I know that since the numbers don’t all add up and divide equally it can’t be done easily by hand.
I have attached an excel file with what I have in the sheet. Sheet 2 shows what I would like to have as an example as output on the same sheet. (What I put on the sheet is an example of the way I want it to look, are not close to adding up to a "close to equal" total.)

I need a formula which can pick out the names from string of text, each name follows "-->", the number of names in each cell differs and is undefined. The result needs to be posted into each column following these cells.
An example of a cell is below:
"W/L FIGHTER Str TD Sub Pass EVENT METHOD ROUND TIME
Loss -->--> Tom Aaron -- -- -- -- Strikeforce - Hen... U. DEC 3 5:00
-->--> Matt Ricehouse -- -- -- -- Dec. 4, 2010
Win -->--> Tom Aaron -- -- -- -- Strikeforce - Hea... SUB 1 0:56
-->--> Eric Steenberg -- -- -- -- May. 15, 2010 Guillotine Choke"
I have tried using text to columns but everything after the first line is not recognised (when I click finish anything after "TIME" is simply not there).
Example attached : UFCv1.xlsx
