Got the following formula:-
=LEFT(L5, FIND("(",L5)-1)
I need to add the SUBSTITUTE function to this but can't figure out where it goes if somebody could point me in the right direction please? My substitute formula is SUBSTITUTE(L5,"car","train").
Following code doesn't work
Dim Value1 as String
Value1 = Substitute(Cells(4, "A"), "A", "", 1)
correct syntax to assign the result of substitute function in the Variable?
I have numeric values in approx 1000 cell entries that I need to edit:
example cell C1 contains the value 00100300308W400
I'm trying to edit this entry to show 00/10-03-003-08W4/0.
I've tried using wildcards with the SUBSTITUTE function:
=SUBSTITUTE(C1,"***************","**/**-**-***-****/*")
I am using COUNTIF functions with Defined Name lists to quickly determine if a certain number is on a list. As a backdrop, I am using Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) numbers and attempting to somewhat streamline chemical approval for a small company. CAS numbers are often in the format of XX-XX-X with varied amounts of numbers. One of the defined lists however does not have dashes.
Thus, I am using cell B1 to enter the CAS# once and then for each list having a column to itself with an associated worksheet with a defined name list. Most of the columns have the function =B1 with the conditional formatting of =COUNTIF(definedname,BX) and formatted to turn red if the chemical is on the list. This is working for all of the columns except for the list that needs the dashes removed. For instance, CAS 64-67-1 is put in B1 and cell B5 has the formula =SUBSTITUTE(B1,"-","") which brings the number to 64671 which matches the number in my defined name list. However, the cell will not turn red. What am I missing?
I m using SUBSTITUTE function to replace commas with fullstop so I can multiply the end result with a number. But when I try to multiple for example B2 (0.1831) with 5, i get the VALUE! error.
Value Real Value (after substitute function)
0,1831 0.1831
23,3333 23.3333
12,5199 12.5199
5,5000 5.5000
20,5999 20.5999
24,4671 24.4671
200,0000200.0000
2,5386 2.5386
0,4000 0.4000
1,5019 1.5019
how I can resolve this so I can use the real values for computations (eg Real value *5), without having the VALUE! error message.
In trying to create a formula that remove EVERY symbol from a cell (C6) and replacing it with a space.... the "SUBSTITUTE" function is telling me I have too many nested Substitutes.
This is the formula:
Code:
=SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE
(C6,"/"," "),"%"," "),"!"," "),","," "),"*"," "),"-"," "),"("," "),")"," ")
It works thus far, but I would still like to add more symbols into the nest. Is there a way/formula to do this that replaces ANY symbol with a space?
is it possible to make a SUBSTITUTE finction non- case sensitive?
For example I want to replace all letters "e" and "E" in a cell.
I've in cell A1 an entry like this: 123*456*7890
=SUBSTITUTE(A1) in cell 'A2' gives me: 1234567890
=ISTEXT(A2) in cell 'A3' gives me: TRUE
BUT, =A3+1 gives me: 1234567891
Hows that happening? Substitute function gives me the output which is a TEXT, and how is it that when I add 1 to it, I get an answer? Shouldn't I get a #VALUE! error instead?
I want to substitute the following "special" characters for an underscore. i need to do 9 different characters!!! is there another way?
as you are limited to 7!!!
excel 2003!
=INDIRECT("_animal_"&SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(C2," ","_"),"/","_"),"-","_"),"&","_"),"~","_"), "(", "_"), ")", "_"), "$", "_"), ":", "_"))
In cell A1, I have three possible text strings: (1) "change/s: changed the color green to red", (2) "change/s: changed the color from green to red, changed the size from big to small", or (3) "changed the color from red to green".
I need a formula that will look at a text string, and if there is a comma in the string, it finds the word "change/s" and substitutes it with "changes", if it finds no comma, it substitutes the word "change/s" to "change", and if the word "change/s" is not in the text string at all, it leaves that text string unchanged.
I work for a Machine Shop in the Toledo area. We use a quotation sheet to quote our products to our customers. It has 3 cells that describe the Customer, the Contact person at that customer and finally that Contact's Email Address. I have a drop-down menu in each of these cells. The first, Customer, is based off a simple list of our customers. The Contact drop-down then uses the Indirect Function to search the worksheet for that Customer. The drop down is actually based off of a Range Name saved as that Customer's Name.
However the problem is many of my customers have & or , and since Excel does not allow those symbols or even spaces in a Range Name I have to use Substitute to be able to keep the spaces and the & or ,.
It is important that on the Quote Sheet the Name of the Customer is identical to the actual name of the company so I cant use AND instead of &.
Currently my Second drop down, Contacts, has a formula that looks like this {=INDIRECT(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE($H5,"_"," "), "3", "&"), "2",","))}.
My problem is that when I give the Range Name a Name , my drop down doesn't work and Excel tells me that the above formula results in an error.
I want to grab everything left of the last occurrence of "." in a string, and in the next cell everything right of the last occurrence of "."
so say the string is 111.111.1.222
column 1

column 2
222
my current code (which works, but its messy) for the first cell is
I am trying to use the left function to include only the first account number, for example if a cell has "120122 280000" (there may be many spaces between the two numbers), I only want 120122.
So far my programming only returns the 280000 into the cell.
I am working with cell values in column "K".
I need to move characters from the end of a string to the beginning.
I have a list of Exact stings that are allowed. I need to move this allowed string to the beginning.
JAN
JANS
JANTX
JANTXV
If "TR" or "T/R" are at the end of the allowed Exact string, I need that removed completely.
i.e.
JANTR = JAN
JANT/R = JAN
JANTXT/R = JANTX
PN
Desired result
1N3595UR-1JANTX = JANTX1N3595UR-1
1N4992JAN = JAN1N4992
2N1711JANS = JANS2N1711
1N4148UR-1JANTXVTR = JANTXV1N4148UR-1
Function sequence giving me "N/A": =VLOOKUP(LEFT(C6,5),H:I,2,FALSE)
Basically, I have numbers that each start with a unique sequence. The first 5 numbers of that sequence represent a certain cell carrier.
What I want to do is have the function look up the first 5 characters of a cell and depending on the 5 characters, I want it to return a certain value.
My idea with the vlookup was to have the lookup value be the first 5 digits and then in my table, it would take only those 5 digits and return a value I have specified in the second column.
I need to return the text from a string, in a similar way to they way LEFT/ RIGHT would do.
I have some text in a cell, say A1 that looks like this ->
TEXT BEGIN --- TEXT NOW ENDS
I want to return everything before / after the --- symbols.
I have the below line in a macro but the left function is not working, will not sum everything.
Range("g" & x).Value = "=SUMPRODUCT(--(Data!a2:a65536 = """ & val1 & """)*(data!t2:t65536=left(g1,2)))"
Obscure lines of info which I'm trying to break up into pieces. Being able to find from the right instead of left would be REALLY handy. See attached example with details and example!

lets say.. i want every cell counted which has in these range the first two numbers..
every cell has..
5052
5053
5054
4060
4050
so i count the entries which has 50.. so in total it gives a result of 3. Not summing them, just count the entries that has the first two numbers "50" in every row..
The Red Markings can be replaced, the rest should stay.. it is needed due different criteria.....
I keep seeing Right$(arg,arg) in VBA examples, but I am not sure what the dollar sign is doing.
Is it acting like a string declaration?
I have a spreadsheet where I extract the last 3 digits of a five digit string by using the "=Right(...)" command.
Column A 71500
Column B =right(column a,3)
Column C 500
Column D = lookup(Column C,toc_desc)
Column E #N/A (if it worked, this would read Labor)
I want to take the result of that command (Column C) and use the "Lookup(...) command to translate type of cost as a name rather than the three digit number (Column D). Excel doesn't recognize the result of the "=Right(...)" command. I am getting #N/A as a result. (Column E). How can I get Excel to read that number and give me the results I need?
I've got a little application in excel using macros.
It worked perfectly with Excel 2000, but with Excel 2003 shows an error for every formula I've used in the macro -right, left, mid, date...

Cell A1 = 78-36
This is a win/loss ratio so to have it as a percentage I would have to divide the first number by the sum of the two numbers so 78/114 = 68.4% How would you do this with a formula?
I came up with this that isn't quite right, because RIGHT and FIND don't work together.
=LEFT(A1,FIND("-",A1,1)-1)/(LEFT(A1,FIND("-",A1,1)-1)+RIGHT(A1,FIND("-",A1,1)-1))
There must be a smarter way of doing this. TY
I want to confine the results of a table to one single cell but also want to include “hard returns” within the formula otherwise when I go to print, it won’t fit on the one page.
Data table is as follows:
A1 = 10
B1 = 10
C1 = empty cell
D1 = empty cell
E1 = 30
F1 = 30
Formula below includes one “hard return” for each cell:
Basically I have a phone number in column A:
123-456-1234
In column B, I want it to show me the first 3 numbers from the left, (so 123)
So I do =LEFT(A2,3)
Which gives me 123, but it's displayed as text, which ruins my whole formula that looks up the area code and displays the state.
I googled the problem and found http://exceltip.com/st/Make_LEFT_Fun...umber/778.html
which tells me to do:
=IF(LEFT(A1,1)=1,"Ignore",A1) [sees 1 as a number]
=IF(LEFT(A1,1)+0=1,"Ignore",A1) [sees 1 as a number]
=IF(LEFT(A1,1)="1","Ignore",A1) [sees 1 as text]
but when i try that it just displays the ENTIRE phone number: 123-456-1234
Pretty sure this has been asked but have searched the forum to no avail, but I need to extract the numbers from a value which has a letter on the end.
eg. 1000x I need to get out the 1000
or 2p I need the 2
I have sooooo many values ranging in numbers of digits, so just basic left(A1,2) won't work, I'm sure I've seen a search or find function but don't know how to use them!
What I would like to do is output the first 4 characters of a cell into another cell. eg Cell A1 has "1234 Sydney". If I just use the manual formula "=left(A1,4)" it would give me the correct output "1234" in say cell B2, but as a formula. As I need to automate this in a macro, how could you code this in VBA to output the String "1234" into cell B2(ie the actual output rather than a formula)?

Im trying top use the above bit of code and it does not work when the criteria is Text , so if I simply change the above to =1234567 it works fine -- But I need it to be alpha numeric
I need to write some code that will write a sum formula and include all the cells to the left of the active cell, however this range is variable. I suspect it would be something like:
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=SUM(xlLeft)"
but this just enters the formula "SUM(xlLeft)".
I am compiling a database of tennis stats for various players. I input the set scores (like 6-4) and I then need excel to find "-", go to the left and right, and add up all cells containing these scores on a full row.
For example:
6-4, 6-4, 6-4 would become 18-12
I can do this by using "find" and left/right. The problem is, the more records I add, the more I have to keep changing the formula.
[Code] .........
Is there a faster way to do this, preferably without using macros.
