I have a range of cells where I need to strip out the numbers using a formula, is this possible?
E.g.
The data is:
110205 Contract Revenues
110215 Job Revenue
110802 Consumables
This would need to be:
Contract Revenues
Job Revenue
Consumables
I import data from another program in order to evaluate it. Unfortunately, one of the fields I need contains copyright data, however, it has been very inconsistently entered into the database. For example, sometimes the data appears "c1999." or "-1999" or "" or "[1999]" or even "19?" and also sometimes "1999, 1990" and many other variations on that. I discovered the link in the excel help file about extracting numbers from alphanumeric strings, but my situation is still too variable for it to apply; that file didn't take into account that alphanumeric strings don't always lump numbers and letters together. I was able to correct a few things, but my command of excel isn't knowledgeable enough to really come up with something effective.
Some ideas I had that I don't know how to implement: is there a way to strip non-numerical characters from an alphanumeric string? (I've been doing some find/replaces to get rid of some of it, but that is obviously not very efficient when I have to repeat this process daily.) Perhaps then I could just detect the first 4 numbers of the string somehow. However, that doesn't solve the problem of when a wild card is used as in "199?" or "20?" etc.
Bottom line, I just need to grab the first four numbers that appear in the string (but NOT additional numbers that occur after a wild card or a space if the year was not completed in 4 numbers; in that case I'd just be happy with a null value).
I've been doing this with a formula so far. My only experience with macros has been in simply recording them, not actually writing them, but I'll give anything a try.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a spreadsheet which has a "User Description" column. In this column, most users have data that looks similar to this:
APPLICATION - john.smith@mycompany.com
APPWEB - jane-doe@somecompany.com
APPWEB - john_doe@othercompany.com
APPLICATION - TP - paul@acompany.com
APP/APPWeb/DEV - paulsm@thecompany.com
There are also cells in this column which literally have a sentence long description, but those are not my focus. What I need to do is find a way to strip out the e-mail address found in the examples above and copy them into a new cell (the same row for the corresponding user). I don't know where to begin for this.
How can I strip out a name from a cell, see example below, I would need to remove the number and flip the name.
example:
Column A = Column B results
Blow/Joe 123456 = Joe Blow
Johnson/Mike 898930 = Mike Johnson
Mama/Joe 293810 = Joe Mama
Smith/John 389301 = John Smith
I need VBA to remove more than 3 blank spaces after the city & replace them with a comma & one blank. For example:
All in one column AB starting with row 7 I have:
Johnson City (13 Blank Spaces) NC 75503 (1 to 3 spaces after state & is OK)
Jacksonville (10 blank spaces) Fl 23854
Henderson (12 blank spaces) NH 28363 (12 blank spaces)
etc
I need all in one column AC starting with row 7:
Johnson City, NC 75503 (,space before state, same space after state ok)
Jacksonville, FL 23854
Henderson, NH 28363
etc

I have already seen that the tab strip doesn't seem to toggle b/t pages, as a frame I placed remained on both "tabs" (I am wondering what it does if you can't toggle).
I have a problem with a spreadsheet my colleague at work has designed. He has entered all the names into it as Mrs A Jones, Mr P Smith, Mrs S Pilkington-Smyth etc. I need to sort these into Alpha order using just the surname. macro or a formula to count backwards until I get a space and then strip this off to allow me to sort it.

and then sorting the records on column6/question6
however i have been able to do this and display results in second worksheet(Results2)

Could anyone take a look at the file and help.

Exported data in PDF and converted to Excel worksheet and some of the data contains a space in the year.
Example: 2/6/2 014 2:49 PM.
I used the =INT(A1) to strip the time off. Worked wonderfully. However when I need to sort by ascending/descending date , it does not put in order due to this extra space. Is there a formula out there that I can use to delete the space? All of the data doesnt appear this way. I am sure it is due to the conversion.
I want to strip only the leading set of numbers from a string. Trailing numbers should stay.
Logic rule would be:
1) Find first Alpha character
2) Remove all numbers prior to this position

Is there an Excel function that can strip a specificed unwanted character from a text string to leave all the other characters excluding the unwanted one?
e.g. if the original text strings were (in separate cells within a workbook):
C-2C-9C-9-XA-10A-10-BA-10-XA-8N-7-D
The function would strip the "-" to leave:
C2
C9
C9X
A10
A10B
A10X
A8
N7D ...etc.

I'm going to be using a spreadsheet to keep track of where different people are at. So if Person 1 is in Room 3, I will stick a 3 in the box next to their name and then can look at the spreadsheet whenever I need and see what room they are in. When I'm deciding what room to put a person in, though, I need to be able to quickly glance at a list of Room #'s and see what one's are still available. So I have a bank of Room #'s in the spreadsheet....1,2,3, etc.
What I'd like, is some way to set this up so that when I put, for example, "3" in the cell next to "Person 1" the spreadsheet automatically removes "3" from the bank of available Room #'s and when I delete the "3" because the person has left, it adds "3" back to the bank of available Rooms.
I have a mass of data which look something like this:
table removed
and I require the ranges of reference numbers to be listed in a column one above the other, which requires inserting new rows. I also need the date & description columns copied down into the newly inserted rows.
So basically for example I would want the top row to now read:
table removed
and then apply the same procedure to the other ranges below this.
I am looking for a formula to grab only the numbers withing a cell that has text in it i.e (John Peters142 lp) or (Sally Jones54) or (Terry Cram310 jkb) sometimes there will be text after the number and sometimes not, the format is as shown with no space between name and number but a space after the number.
I added a sheet for visual example.
I need the " solutions cells " to match to the " source cells " and return a " yes " or " no ". in cells d4:d10. Ex: #1 cell C4=01234598, it will conduct a search & match of cell A5 which contains the number 123, since cell C4 contains all 3 numbers from cell A5, then the formula would result in a " Yes ". The match has to contain all 3 numbers from the solution cells to the source cells.
Ex: #2 cell C7=67891234, it will conduct a search & match of cell A8 =901. Since cell C7 only contains the 9&1 from cell A8, it would return a " No " because cell C7 did not contain all 3 numbers from cell A8. I'm not sure if the IF, Match, Index or Count formula is the right one to use, they all seem to partially work, but still don't complete this problem.
multiple numbers and text are in single cell which are separated through spaces or comma, is there any formula which can bypass text and add all the numbers in the cell.
For example:
red 12, yellow 10, green 5 27 red 3, blue 9 12 yellow 21, blue 3 24
Sheet1 is a list of names, then a few columns of numbers.
Sheet2 contains calculations based of the numbers in sheet1.
Each sheet from 2 on is names after the names in sheet1 column A...
A large cell at the top of each sheet contains the formula to display the sheet name:
=MID(CELL("filename",A1),FIND("]",CELL("filename",A1))+1,255)
So what I want to do now is...
in cell, look for the cell in sheet1, and display the value in the cell offset by X so i can bring the numbers from sheet1 over.
In plain english the cell would say like...
"look in sheet1 for "Name" then display the cell next to it"
I know to look in the next sheet its "=Base!B2" if i wanted b2 on sheet base.
I know to use "=OFFSET(Base!B2, , 1, , )" too look at B2 and go right 1 column.
But the issue is i dont want Base!B2.. i want whatever cell in Base column A that has the text that A1 has.
how would you do the following in excel 2007:
"SUM numbers within a cell based on unique strings in another cell".

700david
700 david

I am trying to set up a data validation to ensure that when a user enters a number in column A that matches a previously entered number in column A, the user is only allowed to enter the same date for the number it matches in column B.
For example, if:
Row 3 column A = 1320
and
Row 3 column B = 16-Dec-07
and
Row 15 column A = 1320
then:
Row 15 column B must be 16-Dec-07
I have problem with function, I have array with random numbers in cell G1 and columns with X in some of the cells, now I want to check the cells with numbers from cell G1 in column F to see is there X or not if yes count if not do nothing. In attached example result should be 3.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI am trying to do with data validation, trying to stay away from vba on this... and it is probably very simple:
Cell A1, they can select Rice, Cheese, or Rabbit
I want to use custom data validation on B1, so that if A1 = Rabbit, they can only enter 1. If it is blank or the other two choices, they can enter 1 through 10.
Can I do that with data validation? I can't get any if thens to work in it.
I'm trying to reference a location on a spreadsheet in a macro by using the values in two cells (the idea is to then paste to this location):
D2 is 17 (the row)
B4 is 2 (the column)
therefore the location is B17 (R17C2), but can I get this to work...? The values in these cells can change depending on selections made which is why I want to use the cell references rather than the absolute!
