Splitting Cells By Non-printable Characters
Oct 12, 2009
I've had a quick look at past posts and there is plenty on splitting cells but I haven't been able to find anything to help me with the following:
I've pulled address details from a database which have populated into a single field with each line separated by 2 'square' characters. I need to split each line into a separate cell for a mail merge. I've seen these characters before and always assumed they represent a space or 'return' and I believe is an ASCII character?
If I select a cursor in the cell the lines drop as they should with 1 square character left at the end of each line and it stays this way when I leave the cell.
I've tried CLEAN & TRIM functions; the first removes the characters, the second doesn't recognise the character at all. The most promising seems the 'Text to Columns' function, setting it as a delimited string, but I don't seem to be able to enter this particular character as the delimiter under the 'other' option.

How do I tell Excel that I do not want columns E, G & I printed, but I still want them visible on the worksheet, so that I may work on them

I have been using Excel for many years but haven't dived much into using VBA. I believe it holds the answer to my question. I have developed a spreadsheet with 10 tabs that is used for billing customers. I'd like to take it a step further and, on a separate tab, have a quote automatically populated and then be able to be printed. I need for the VBA to scan certain areas in each tab to see if data is present or greater that 1. If there is data present, it would need to list the content of 3 cells (description, quantity, and total cost). I know that I can directly link but it needs to be dynamic and only display/show data that is present (as not all cells will be needed for every client).

I have pricelists tables with 300 and more rows and about 50 columns. Three letter codes in first column cells are in strings separated by separator (,), I need to split this strings so that each three letter code would be in its own cell in first column, at same time all other cells in same row as original string data should be copied to rows near appropriate 3 letter codes. In attached xls file I have made small example how data looks before and how it should look after applying macro. Table should not move to other place on worksheet or on new worksheet, in attached example I moved it just to show what kind of form result should have.

I know how to use concatenate but is there anything that will do the opposite. I want to take one cell that has both a date and time in it, and make the date in one cell and the time in another.

spliting a cell and moving them to 2 other cells.
Column D contains date and time in the format: 15/09/2011 08:01:01
I need them to be split into Date in column V and Time column W
Need the code to loop until there are no more values in column D.
Forgot to mention that the Column D is a date format and they need to be in there respective date and time format when split!

I'm trying to break up text in excel based on certain criteria and would prefer using a formula.
Criteria one: Must be 35 characters or less in length
Criteria two: Must include full words
So for example:
Cell A1: Sally bought a new purse
End Result:
Cell A1: Sally bought a new purse
Cell B1: Sally bought a (assume 35 characters)
Cell C1: new purse (assume 35 characters)
As mentioned earlier the only caveot is that it cannot break individual words IE: "Sally bought a ne"

I'm having trouble splitting some data.
I have account codes like 1201.170170 that I must split into two cells containing 1201 and 170170
When I use "left" and "right" functions, it cuts off the zero on the far right. Assuming base data in cell F2...
=Right(f2,6) returns .17017 rather than the intended 170170
I've tried formatting the cells as text, but that doesn't seem to work either.

Cell A3: Abbott, Robert M.,MD
Cell A4: Bussiere, Laura P., ARNP
Cell A5: Bradford, Melinda ARNP
I have this data in Column A and I'd like each person's last name to appear in Column A and the first name to appear in Column B and the credentials to appear in Column C like this:
A3 B3 C3
Abbott Robert MD
A4 B4 C4
Bussiere Laura P. ARNP
A5 B5 C5
Bradford Melinda ARNP
Also I'd like to be able to do the same with addresses:
In Row Q I have:
Q35: Jacksonville, FL 33204
Q37: St Augustine, FL 32092-1850
I would like this to appear in the sheet as follows:
Q35 R35
Jacksonville 33204
Q37 R37
St Augustine 32092-1850
I don't need the state in any cell. It can disappear as well as any commas. Is any of this possible?

I am attempting to split my workbook and save the sheets as individual files. Simple enough? yes. The issue I am running into is that when the sheets export I want their filename to be pulled from the value of a cell on a master control sheet. While I am pretty sure these can be done separately, not sure how to really do them as a whole within a one click button. Also an issue I am running into is that when I click my export button on my control page, the sheets that are saved have lost some of the page formatting.
SHEET1 is my control sheet
Here is the code that I was using to export the sheets.

VBA code to split the the date values into various cells. For example 8-Feb-14 in cell A2 will be splitted into three cells (C2, D2 and E2) to have the values:
Cell C2: 8
Cell D2: Feb
Cell E2: 2014 (Note that 20 has been added to the 14 to make it 2014)
I have attached a spreadsheet to understand what I mean. The results are in red and the raw data is in black.

a5

I basically have a five column spreadsheet containing address information. While most cells only contain one piece of information, I have quite a few cells that have multiple lines of data in them because the individual has more than one address.
Here is an example. Note that Rows 1-2 contain single address info for each individual person. However, row 3 contains an individual with 3 pieces of address information in the four right hand columns:
Row 1: Unique ID | Name | Street Address | City | State | Zip Code
Row 2: Unique ID | Name | Street Address | City | State | Zip Code
Row 3: Unique ID | Name | Street Address | City | State | Zip Code
[carriage return in street address, city, state and zip cells]
--------------------------------- |Street Address | City | State | Zip Code
[carriage return in street address, city, state and zip cells]
--------------------------------- |Street Address | City | State | Zip Code
Row 4: Unique ID | Name | Street Address | City | State | Zip Code
Row 5: Unique ID | Name | Street Address | City | State | Zip Code
Please note that some individuals have 2-4 different addresses.
I would like to manipulate the 5 rows of example data above so that when I am done I have the following:
1. 7 rows of data (5 individuals with 7 total addresses)
2. Automatically copy and paste the unique id number and name into the two new rows that were created so that I have the following:
Row 1: Unique ID - 001 | Joe Chang | Street Address | City | State | Zip Code
Row 2: Unique ID - 002 | Joey Chung | Street Address | City | State | Zip Code
Row 3: Unique ID - 003 | John Smith | Street Address | City | State | Zip Code
Row 4: Unique ID - 003 | John Smith | Street Address | City | State | Zip Code
Row 5: Unique ID - 003 | John Smith | Street Address | City | State | Zip Code
Row 6: Unique ID - 004 | Jane Derry | Street Address | City | State | Zip Code
Row 7: Unique ID - 005 | Julie March | Street Address | City | State | Zip Code

I have a spreadsheet that has been given to me by someone else, and unfortunately it has merged cells in it that are causing some trouble. I need to have a way to unmerge the merged cells, but for the data in the merged cell to then be copied into each cell that it splits into.
I've attached two spreadsheets - unfortunately I can't really attach the real one since it has research data in it, so I've reduced the size of the file and replaced some of the text. The first file shows how the file starts off, and the file named "result" shows how I would like it to be.
My real file contains some 10,000+ lines of data, and the merged cells are of varying sizes, with no consistency to the size, so I'd like a way to automate this instead of copy and pasting into every empty cell after I unmerge them.

I want to use the SumIf function to sum cells when other cells begin with certain characters.
I've toyed with a few ideas of how this could work, but i don't know how to specify that the cells need to begin with certain characters. The cells that would be the criteria and the ones that would be summed come out of an Oracle database (and i have no control over the way they're pulled out - yet) so the beginning characters are connected to extremely unique information, so i dont want that to be included in the if part, for obvious reasons.

I have some text that I need to format, at the moment it looks like this:
[note name="Person A" label="0"[Person A's information]/note]
[note name="Person B" label="0"[Person B's information]/note]
etc
I would like to extract the Name (Person A) and the actual note itself (Person A's information) into two columns. I tried using "Text to Columns" as I have in the past, but there is a problem. Many of the information fields contain hundreds of characters, with the largest being ~2500 characters. The text to columns works does its job but cuts out a lot of data (anything over 255 characters).
I'm using MS Excel 2000
The text contained HTML codes, so they have not appeared correctly I have replaced with []

There are three questions in Comment boxes in the file. The bottom line is that the final item name in column F can only be 50 characters long including spaces. As I am entering the information in columns B,C & D it would be great to be able to see the numbers of spaces I have left to enter characters in column H without having to hit "Return" and leave the cell.
The first question may need a Macro so excuse me that it is included in the Formula section.

I have recently purchased a new GPS for my fishing boat. I am trying to transfer my old coordinates from one unit to the other. I am using a .csv file to achieve this. Can some kind please let me know (and possibly tell me) if there is way to insert characters and spaces in to multiple cells. I have over 800 individual coordinates to modify to the new gps and this would take a long time to achieve individually.
I need to replace this: 12.34.567 to this: 12 34.567 N
and this: -1.23456 to this: 001 23.456 W
