Split Function: Multiple Spaces Between Two Words

Mar 23, 2007

I am trying to parse a formatted text file. I am using the SPLIT function as

arr() = split(cline," ")

where cline is an input line. if the line input(cline) has multiple spaces between two words, how would it split that.

Eg :

abcd defg fefdcs fasdfasdsa

would the output of above be
arr(0) = abcd
arr(1) = defg
arr(2) = fefdcs
arr(3) = fasdfasdsa

Split Numbers And Split Words

May 8, 2009

How do I split numbers!

I have two problems/challenges!

Part I...
I got the answer 1987, and now I want Excel to take the numbers out and display...
1 in one box then i set + in the next, then 9 in the 3ed. box, next box +, then 8, then +, then 7 in the last so that i can have Excel make a SUM of it all to 25.

How do I split 1987 and put the numbers in different boxes?

Part II...
I want to make A=1 B=2... all the way up to 9, then start over again with J=1 K=2... up to 9 again and then over again.

So that if I write my name it comes out as a value of 14 (Odd = O=6 D=4 D=4 =14)

(AJSØ=1 BKTÅ=2 CLU=3 DMV=4 ENW=5 FOX=6 GPY=7 HQZ=8 IRÆ=9, It's the Norwegian alphabet, that's why there are some extra letters)

So how do I set up my Excel so that is ANY name is typed in I can get it out into a number from the values assign?

How To Split Texts Into Words (collecting Word And Compounds)

Jan 10, 2008

i have wordlists which i would like to enhance through texts. For that purpose i need a macro which reads a text and splitts it into words and put the words into three columns. Lets assume the column where the words are supposed to be put is columns A,C and E. The column A should contain single words containing no spaces from Text, column C should contain compound words which have one space between them and in column E those compounds which have two spaces. Now i will put my existing wordlist in column G before i start splitting texts. The macro should put only those words from text into column A,C and E which dont already exist in columns A,B,C,D,E,F and G. In Column B i will place the corrected or checked words from column A. In column D i will type the corrections and checked versions of those compunds existing in column C. And the column F will contain the compound words which are corrected and checked from Column E.

Column A--> single words splitted from text through macro (containing no spaces)
Column B--> corrected and checked versions of words from column A through user
Column C--> compound words containing one space splitted from text through macro (for example:"etwas möchten" or "do something")
Column D-->corrected version of C through user
Column E-->compound words containing two space splitted from text through macro (for example:"sich uerberzeugen lassen" or "down in dumps")
Column F-->corrected E
Column G--> existing dictionary wordlist through user

Signes like ".", ":",";", "/" or quotation signe itself should be seen as seperator. And the words or compounds splitted from the text should not contain these signs.

The text will be put in another sheet in the same excel file. Lets call that sheet "text". The macro should search for words through whole sheet ignoring empty cells or columns.

None of the columns should be filtered or ordered. The columns shound not be deleted as well. That way the user wont have to correct the same word each time cus the corrected as well as the original words will be there.

A thread with similar purpose was made sent by AdamDay as well, where rylo has posted a good solution already.

Split A Column Into 2 - Use Character Limit That Does Not Cut Words In Half

Jun 11, 2013

I have huge columns of data that can only be 30 characters long. I want to use a formula to split the column into two. The original column will have a character limit of 30, and should not cut words in half. If the Length will be more than 30 while including the entire last word of the cell, that word should be the first displayed in adjacent cell in the 2nd column.

The 2nd column can be any length.

I usually use a Text to Columns method, but dont know how to make it not cut off the words.

Excel Formula To Split Words With Characters Limit Per Cell?

Dec 6, 2010

I am suffering with split a long descriptions into 3 cells with criteria 1st cell not more than 30 characters, 2nd cell not more than characters and 3rd cell will locate the remaining characters there. I think this is quite easy if I use LEN/MID/RIGHT/LEFT formula. However, I wish the formula will smart enough to split word by word. refer to example below:-

"My lecturer replied, that i really did very bad in final, nothing's gonna change my plan."

If I use left(A1,30) formula, the result is "My lecturer replied, that i re"however, the word "really" is cut half way. I am finding the formula that split description to not more than 30 characters and won't cut my string and become incomplete word. Expected result should be 1st cell "My lecturer replied, that i", then "really did very bad in final," at 2nd cell.

Subscripting Results Of SPLIT Function

Jul 15, 2014

I have a macro that loops through a column of cells to retrieve a price that is buried in a string. The cells in this column are formatted one of two ways. Either they are completely empty, or the following pattern of string is entered: "$181.27 ea. for 12 on 5/21/14" (the quotes are not part of the string entered). What I need my macro to do is pull out "$181.27" and then drop the dollar sign and then do some more math before inputting a result in a different cell, but the prices range from less than a dollar to over $100,000 so I need to use split instead of left. Should be simple, yes? Here is what I have:

[Code] ......

But I get an error 9: subscript out of range on the line that calculates PriceSplit whenever it encounters a blank cell.

I have a excel sheet where I have a list of strings seperated by a "-". I am looking to take the particular cell value and swap the characters before the dash with the characters after the dash. So for example:

I have tried findling around with the split function but cant seem to get anywhere, does anyone know a tried and tested method of doing this?

Modifying VBA Function To Search Only Complete Words?

Mar 19, 2014

I've been working on a method to search a single column of 1000+ cells containing a paragraph with a 250+ word keyword list (also in a single column). I'm needing only complete words to be searched/ displayed regardless of spacing & punctuation. I've tried multiple methods the past few days and the one that worked (Macro with 4 complex formulas) was unusable when scaled out to all 1,000 rows due to the extremely long calculating time. I don't know VBA yet but was able to modify and create a user defined function that does everything I need except it displays string results that are not whole words (Ex. search for air, word in cell is fair, displays a result for air).

PHP Code: 

Function RangeSearch2(text As String, wordlist As Range, seperator As String, Optional caseSensitive As Boolean = False)    
Dim strMatches As String    Dim res As Variant    Dim arrWords() As String    Dim skip As Boolean    skip = False    
On Error Resume Next    Err.Clear    For Each word In wordlist            If caseSensitive = False Then      

[Code] ...........

Concatenate Multiple Columns With Spaces

I've searched quite a few times for Concatenating Multiple Columns and ones for Concatenating with Spaces.

I've found solutions that say use

or the VBA equivalent

I have at least 15-20 columns which I wish to concatenate.

Is there an easier way than to type for all 15 columns?

=concatenate(A1," ", B1," ", C1,....)

Also, the number of columns of each row vary

IF Function (few Words Shown Based On Figures In Specific Cells)

May 17, 2009

I want to have a few words shown based on figures in specific cells. I not quite sure how to explain, but i will try my best:

A1 = 5
A2 = 0
A3 = 7

The function i am using looks something like this:-

=IF(A1<6,"Do I Have Sickness Self Cert?","Do I Have Doctor's Paper?")

However, by using this function, if the cell is empty it still shows the first wording when i need it to show lets say between 1 & 6 shows the first wording and more than 6 shows the second wording! If you know what i mean... I know what i want to do but cant really explain it very well.

Maybe it should look something like this but it does not work the way i am doing it.

=IF(E156>1<6,"Do I Have Sickness Self Cert?","Do I Have Doctor's Paper?")
