String Splitting
Jan 23, 2007If I have a string which contains 3 words, is there an easy way of separating out the consonants into one string and the vowels into another (spaces should be ignored)?
The only way I can think of doing it is to go through the string item by item and comparing the letters to a list of vowels and using that to do the separation.

Splitting A String With Split
Apr 3, 2009I'm stumbling upon something I just can't figure out. I thought I was being very clever using the Split() function, and it did all work beautifully for a while.
I've got a list sort of like this:
Helloworld
Hello of World
Hello1 of Planet
And I want to be able to run the following code.
For Each u In units
d_type_a = Split(u.Value, " of")
Debug.Print (d_type_a(0))
Select Case u.Value
Case "Hello"
stuff...
Case "Helloworld"
stuff...
Case "Hello1"
stuff...
End select
next
But it fails on the Debug.print with a "Subscript out of range, nr 9" error. The debug is just there because it doesn't want to work. The debug.print DOES out put "Helloworld" into the Immediate window but then still fails which sorta confuses me.
The best I can figure out is that it just doesn't quite like the string without an " of" in it.
Splitting A Cell String Depending On Variables
Mar 1, 2009On to what brought me here; I have a spreadsheet with a column containing an address, eg '12 SMITH ST SOMESUBURB NSW 2001'. I'm looking at splitting this cell in half after the street and moving the second half (suburb state postcode) into the next cell, which i've managed to do with a series on InStr statements.
Now the fun part is that not all these addresses are streets, some are avenues (AV or AVE), roads (RD), place (PL), drive (DR or DRV) etc. Initially i just did this:

Find Is Not Finding Character String?
Jun 11, 2014I have a cell that has approx 22000 characters. I'm trying to remove a specific character string from a cell by doing a find and replace with "". It works for characters in the first part of the cell but not for characters in the last part of the cell.
Example: I do a find/replace for the characters 21242 to "" in column A and I get the expected results. I do a find/replace on 69294 to "", again I get the expected results, but if I do a find/replace on 85203 to "", I get "Excel cannot find what I am searching for" (but its there!)

Removing A Character From A Barcode String
Sep 23, 2009The barcode lablels all have the following format: A318639....that is a letter followed by six numbers.
When I scan the barcodes into any cell, a dollar sign "$" appears in the front of the barcode string that is entered into the cell. The dollar sign is not a relevant part of the string of characters in the barcode label.
What I am looking for is a solution where upon scanning a barcode into any cell, the dollar sign is removed from the front of my string and I am left with just the seven character string which is shown above.
I have experimented with the Data Validation tool by trying to limit the number of characters that are allowed in a cell to seven characters, but that has not actually removed any characters from my data string.
