View 9 RepliesWhat can split up text strings into two cells.
I have this in A1
"X,Y Coord Dn = ",38033.8,42701.7
I have this in A2
"Bearing = ",128.9
I want to split this text into 2 cells.
The Formula I am using for the B1 is:
=IFERROR(LEFT(A1,SEARCH(""",",A1)+1),"")
result = "X,
The Formula I am using for the C1 is:
=IF(A1=B1,"",RIGHT(A1,(LEN(A1)-SEARCH(""",",A1)-1)))
result=38033.8,42701.7
The Formula I am using for the B2 is:
=IFERROR(LEFT(A1,SEARCH(""",",A2)+2),"")
result="Bearing = ",
The formula I am using for the C2 is:
=IF(A1=B1,"",RIGHT(A1,(LEN(A1)-SEARCH(""",",A1)-1))) result=128.9
I am using the same formula down each column; But i can not seem to ge the "X,Y Coord Dn = ", to work properly.
I've been searching the forums and web trying to figure out how to extract a text value from a 3D array result, to no avail or well beyond my understanding.
I've attached a file which shows an abbreviated version of the search (from the original 49 col x 400 row, which shows the name to date array which can return a sum.
What I'm looking to do is identify within this array result if there has been a text entry, and return the text as opposed to a sum of the remaining values. This is essentially a double check to make certain that there aren't hours scheduled when other events such as vac/loa/etc are also booked.
I have a column in which the cells contain values such as "012321 BGH YRK". Is there any way you know of that I can remove just the text from every cell and keep the numeric values? A mass operation because there are literally hundreds of these cells. I am using Excel 2001.
View 9 Replies View RelatedA column holds numbers and numbers with suffixes. The conventional sort function pushes the text values to the bottom. I need them sorted along with the numbers.
Microsoft's KB says to add a column formatted as text and then to RETYPE ALL OF THE VALUES! Splendid. But my file has hundreds of records. Re-typing all of them would be a major pain. On the other hand, if I had started typing while trying to find a way to sort the darn thing I might be done by now.
Here's what I know so far: If we create a column, format it as text and then populate with 1, 2, 3, 4, 1a, 2a, 3a, 4a, etc. it will sort exactly correct (1, 1a, 2, 2a...) after selecting the "sort numbers and numbers stored as text separately" when the Sort Warning appears. If you try to create the sample I typed here, you need to be careful that the area is formatted as text BEFORE entering the text. You apparently cannot change the format of an existing column of data to Text or if you do it does not have the desired effect when sorting. It might be useful to know if this can be done too. MS suggests not.
Counting with text and symbols mixed in. This is what I'm wanting to do:
For example:
I'm trying to formulate:
If it's mixed case, copy it. If it's all lower case or ALL CAPS, then make it PROPER.
i.e., if 'bananas' is in A1 and B2 says =PROPER(A2), then B2 says Bananas, because PROPER capitalises the first letter of each word.

Is it possible to validate a string with both numbers and text with a formula using data validation? (I don't want to use a User Defined Function)
in Column C, Starting in cell C2 I have a 12 character string of six numbers, four letters, and two numbers. like this:

is it possible to use a Custom Data Validation formula to ensure the user follows this format?
I have text of size 14 and 18 mixed in cells in a column. Cells are font size 18 or mixed with both 14 and 18 size text. I need to sort out the text with one column of size 14 and another of 18 only. I am thinking of copying and pasting the column twice and run a macro in first column to remove the text of size 14, and another macro to delete text of size 18 in second column. I need the leftover text to be in same rows.
I tried everywhere and couldn't find a macro for mixed text cells. I am using Microsoft Excel 2010.

I tried for Text to column but the exported data is not in the sequence.
It has been awhile since last I have done this, but how do you split a data in the same cell. For example, I have "Smith, John" in the same cell, and I want to get "Smith" and "John" in two different cells.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI would have a preliminary data, a number, on sheet1. The final data would be on sheet2.
In the case where there is a whole number as the preliminary data, the data would remain the same as the final output. (eg. 248 --> 248)
In the case where there is a number with a decimal, I need a function where it looks at the original number as two sets of WHOLE numbers. (Eg. 248.30 --> 248 and 30). Where the digits to the left of the decimal remains the same and the digits to the right would be divided by x (in this case, 10). The final output would be 2483 (where 248 is the same and the 30 is divided by 10.
Since I am using an older version of excel, I cannot use quotient. I know that I would be using the vlookup function and perhaps an if function. however, I do not know how to separate the numbers in regards to the decimal.
to set up a rule so say certain numbers can be put into two groups in another cell.
i.e. codes 01,02,03,04 are grouped in country 1 and 05,06,07,08 are from country 2, so in the same row in a seperate cell it would identify if the product was 1 or 2?
I am looking for someone that might be able to help me with an unusual request. Here is the scenario:
I have an Excel table that pulls data straight from an Access DB. That Access DB pulls straight from a SharePoint list. When it is imported into Access, the records looks like this:
First NameLast NameIssueRemediationJohnSmithIssue 1
Issue 2
Issue 3Remediation 1
Remediation 2
Remediation 3
When it is imported into Excel, it keeps the formatting above (Multiple issues and remediation’s in 1 cell). I want to split those multiple inputs into multiple rows, without deleting the row below it. I would like it to look like this:
First NameLast NameIssueRemediationJohnSmithIssue 1Remediation 1 Issue 2Remediation 2 Issue 3Remediation 3
Or
First NameLast NameIssueRemediationJohnSmithIssue 1Remediation 1JohnSmithIssue 2Remediation 2JohnSmithIssue 3Remediation 3
how I can do this without manually going into the file and editing it myself every time?

I want to be able to add a column with mixed numerals. For example: The sum
of A2:A34 with the values in the cells being 1B or 1F or so.
For example if you want C23:C99 and column H23:H99 as well
Meaning a For each loop would display contents of
C23
H23
C24
H24 etc.
This is what I need to be doing:
Write cell K5 as a relative reference, absolute reference, mixed reference with the row varying, and mixed reference with the column varying.
How do I do that?

The problem I have is I have a cell that says "170.51CR" and I want to extract the number (to perform an operation) without changing the cell.
The reason why is that data is from a website which updates so I can't adjust it.
Eg if I have "170.51CR" in cell B3 and I want to times the number by another cell When I times that value it return an error so I just want to operate the function on the 170.51
I need a function that can find a single digit in the cell containing the shifts worked. As an example, the cell may contain 1, 2, 3, 12, 13 or 23. I have tried using the FIND function, but so far I have not been able to make it work. I will continue to research the FIND function, but a function that would search a cell "containing" a specific digit would be ideal. If there is such a function out there.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am trying to use a macro to copy a set of cells.
I have successfuly created a macro - the problem is I would like the column reference to be absolute but the row reference to be relative. I can have one or the other but not mixed it seems.
If I have not explained myself well, perhaps this may help - I need to copy cells $J1:$S1 and paste them to $L1:$U1
Currently the macros works if the cursor is in cell J1 when I activate the macro but if I move the cursor to any other cell it copies and pastes the wrong set of cells.
I have a worksheet with a row of mixed cells near the top. By "mixed", I mean some cells have only numeric data (numeric-cells) and some have only words (word-cells).
GOAL: I want to sort the columns to the following order:
First all the columns with only numeric-cells in the mixed row, with those columns sorted in DESCENDING numeric order of the numeric-cells in the mixed row; followed by the columns with only word-cells in the mixed row sorted by ASCENDING alphabetic order.
So far all I have been able to accomplish is:
First all the columns with only numeric-cells in the mixed row, with those columns sorted in ASCENDING numeric order of the numeric-cells in the mixed row; followed by the columns with only word-cells in the mixed row sorted by ASCENDING alphabetic order. This was accomplished by a simple sort using ASCENDING order on the mixed row.
OR
First all the columns with only word-cells in the mixed row, with those columns sorted in DESCENDING alphabetic order of the word-cells in the mixed row; followed by the columns with only numeric-cells in the mixed row sorted by DESCENDING numeric order. This was accomplished by a simple sort using DESCENDING order on the mixed row.
This may sound as confusing to you as it does to me, so I have attached an example file showing hypothetical Input Data and the Desired Result.
I did the example file in multiple steps, but that's too painful in the general case where calculations determine what is in which cell in the mixed row. All data are calculated, even the word-cell data AND so dependent on other data, and the columns in the mixed row that are word-cells and those that are numeric cells don't remain the same.
Eventually I'd like to do this with a macro, so if VBA has some power to do this that EXCEL commands don't, then that's fine.
I could probably live with the final result as numeric-cell columns sorted in DESCENDING order followed by word-cell columns sorted in DESCENDING order, but I haven't even been able to accomplish that AND it's not quite the goal.
I pulled a report into excel that lists staff details and workgroups that they have access to. There are nearly 8000 staff who can have anywhere from 0 to 120 workgroups.
The workgroups are listed with the staff details in the following format:

SurnameForenamePost Title177448555041|315136549047|400323457046
With the whole list appearing in one cell and not in numerical order.
I need to pull out a list for each workgroup, with all the staff who have access.
Even if there was a way I could separate out the workgroups and get them to line up.
1. I have data A1, A2, A3....down a column.
2. I have one value on C2 ( constant value)
3. the formula is a very simple multiplication formula. I want to multiply every single value of column A to C2. But it needs to be in across a row that starts in
D4. So,formula needs to be in (D4, E4, F4) there are other datas in the worksheet
4. So when I input =$A1*$C$2 in D4 it calculates it fine but when i try to drag the formula across the row so [E4=$A2*$C$2, F4=$A3*$C$2...]
it repeates the same fomula as D4 and does not adjust for the increase in column number.
