Sum Values From Alphanumeric Strings
Feb 8, 2007
On a work sheet I have 20 columns that may or may not have data in it. In the 21 column I want to have a sum "of the values" in the other columns. Problem is the data is in this form i.e. 6 01/17/07 smr or 15 1/19/07 gtw or 24 01/21/07.
To clarify each cell will have a value of a number from 1 to 99 followed by 2 spaces. Then it can have 2 more spaces and an id tag or just finish with the date.
So, from the example above in column 21 I would have a current value of 45 and it could change if more values were added.
Note values are generated from a macro. It may be possible to change the macro so that a comma or such may be used to seperate the different "values / data types"

I have a column of one to three digit numbers (I5:I34), some of which contain an asterisk after them. In I35 i want a formula to find the highest value from that column. Additionally, if two numbers in the column are the same value, but one contains an asterisk after it, it should use that value in I35, instead of the one without the asterisk.

I am working on a report but I need to split of text cells that contain text and numbers. I had worked in some formulas and I got stuck again when I drag down the formulas. In the attached file, you will see two tables. The one in the left is my current job. In the table of the right is how the table must look like.
The table is complete and will give you the whole idea.
Basically, I need to split the cell into three categories that are "Family", "Model" and "Phase". In example:
Cell Family Model Phase
CCA CCA
DC50X DC50X
DCX3300CRDDCX3300CRD
DPC2434 DPC2434
DCT-1700DCT1700
DCT-1800DCT1800
DCT-1800P3DCT1800P3
DCT-1800P4DCT1800P4
Attached File : Family Model.xlsx

I have this formula that extracts numbers from alphanumeric strings.
{=1*MID(A1,MATCH(TRUE,ISNUMBER(1*MID(A1,ROW($1:$100),1)),0),COUNT(1*MID(A1,ROW($1:$100),1)))}
However this extracts only the 1st instance of the numbers
In a string like 123avfbsdf4556.. it'll extract only 123.
My questions are the following:
1. Is there a way that i could get the result as 1234556
2. A way which refers to a cell where I put in a number and it'll extract those many number instances. In the above example, if I put the number as 1, it'll extract 123. If I put the number as 2, it'll extract 4556 and so on.
I guess this would require some modifications to the Match function so that it does not look at only the 1st instance.

I'm working on an attendance spreadsheet that shows the employee's absence using the format "X####", where X can be one of the following three values: S(for sick time), P(for personal time), and V(for vacation); "####" is the number of hours absent (can be from 0.25 to 8.0,measured in 15-minute increments, # can be either a digit from 0 to 9 or a decimal point, and there can be from 1 to 4 characters, but must be >0(I'm not worried about data validation yet).Examples are P8.0, V.5 (V0.5), S2.75,etc.
The spreadsheet is laid out such that each row represents an employee, and each column is a workday. After the employee's information are three columns labeled P,V, S. I'm trying to generate a formula that when applied to an employee's row, will display a running total of the absent hours based upon personal, vacation, or sick time taken. We'll call the range "CAL"(Short for calender)
To strip out the numeric characters on the right, I use the formula RIGHT(CAL, (LEN(CAL)-1)). To Determine which column the data should be summed in, I use the formula LEFT(CAL,1). Blank Cells are permitted, in fact most of the row will be blank. Now that I've figured out how to strip out the alpha from the numeric, how can I get the totals? I apologize for writing "War and Peace," but I wanted to be as concise as possible-

I need to sum the numeric portions of any cell containing a certain letter within a row. I found a solution that works if all the cells within my row are either blank or contain a string with the "desired letter" lets say the letter is "a" so that we can compare it to ....

I have a column with product packaging sizes with different syntaxes, such as:
"2 x 5 kg"
"200 l (212 kg)"
"1000 l (1400 kg)"
"5 kg"
"20 l (20,54 kg)"
As you can see the syntax varies a lot! Now I need a formula to extract certain numbers for different calculations. E.g. if the string has a letter "x" then the number(s) in front of it would be extracted. Or if the string has the letter "l" or "kg" the numbers in front of them (including decimals) would be extracted while discarding the rest. Is this even possible? Personally, I would change the whole system and break the strings across a number of columns but unfortunately it is not up to me...

Is there a way either by VBA or manually (preferably both, if possible) to actually unite the X amount of numbers that are in a cell given the contents is alphanumeric? I'll give you the following examples to see if you can understand what I' referring to?
DATA output should be
asd67,h876 --------> 67876
2,3,ujdj5&34 -------> 23534
909k86m34 --------> 9098634

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.

I have created a log file for work which records jobs processed. Additional code has just been added to retrieve job information data from a statistical process control program. This works fine however the spc program outputs the Ohmic value as ohms which I need to convert into alphanumeric format. For example: job value is 24K4, spc outputs as 24400 which I need to convert to 24K4. The Ohmic values range from mOhms to gOhms. Examples below.
0.003 = R003
0.025 = R025
0.150 = R15
1.0 = 1R0
15 = 15R
3600 = 3K6
1700000 = 1M7
220000000 = 220M
1000000000 = 1G0
Bearing in mind that the above are just examples of possible values, is it possible to convert numeric values to an alphanumeric format similar to those show above using VBA? You may ask why I need to convert. The log file allows manual input of job information where the value is entered in alphanumeric format. It also contains a search form which displays results allowing the user to see if a job has been processed. Obviously it is easier for the user if the job value is displayed as alphanumeric.

I need to automatically populate a column with an alphanumeric MFR0001 to MFR9999 and am currently using the formula below to add 1 to the start point (A1)...
A1=MFR0001
Formula in A2 =LEFT(C1,3)&(RIGHT(C1,4)+1)
This works perfectly if I start at MFR1000, but breaks and drops the 000 if I use it on the number I need to start with (MFR0001).

I have declared a number of string variables named "hlpYear1", "hlpYear2" etc in the 'Worksheet_SelectionChange' function. "hlpYear1" contains the appropriate text to display if the selected language is English, "hlpYear2" is for French and so on. I was hoping that I would be able to use VBA to display the appropriate text by way of a 'For..Next' statement along the following lines:

I have Column A sample below:
Column A
Row 1 WG32127
Row 2 WFH3040 / 3920
Row 3 WFBF3709/3919
Row 4 WG32156/3915, 3911, 3920
Row 5 WG32148129/3915, 2922
I'm trying to use the Left Function to get only the Alpha-Numeric codes only. I'm having the following problems.
1) The alpha-numeric codes are not a standard number of characters (they can vary anywhere from 4 to 10).
2) In some cases the alpha-numeric codes are alone in the column
3) In other cases they are with other numbers with back slashes separating them
4) In the cases where there are back slashes there are spaces, commas and other numbers as well.
Is there a way to use the Left Function to retrieve only Alpha-numeric codes only.

I am wondering if you can sum the numeric parts of a range of cells containing alphanumeric values. Here is an example:
values to sum: 500, a20, ab30
expected results: 500 + 20 + 30 = 550.
In this project, the number of values to sum is large and I do not wish to use long formulas to extract the numeric part of each cell within the range. I am also forbidden to use up extra cells as an intermediate working out. Can you help?

Any code that can extract the alpha numeric values from sample spreadsheet below?
Where in col A "SCn" is extracted (or copied) and then pasted in col H?
n = 1 to 99
That is - from this:
A
B
C
D
E
F
G
H
I
J
K
L
[Code] .........
To this:
A
B
C
D
E
F
G
H
I
J
K
L
[Code] ......
There are thousands of rows to extract the alpha numeric values from.

I have a data set of students results and I have been using countif to pickup similar grades eg, C1, C2 and C3 all as C. However I need to subtotal filter against teachers and the sumproduct won't let me use C* as a wildcard to pick up the three types of C. How I can subtoal countif multiple criteria.

I have two columns of data: 1 column can be possibly anything, either numeric, alphanumeric, or alpha only (VINS or vehicle numbers). The adjacent column are four different types of vehicles. I've tried concatentating the two to try and count the unique combinations (a truck maybe used more than once during the day), which I can get unique values, but not unique values for each type. Also, the range sizes are variable, but no more that 65 rows.
An example:
5CZ975 Van
25RW04 Straight
5CZ975 Van
ZJ6026 Van
So, the result I am after is 2 vans, 1 straight truck
I found an array in a another post, but it is not working properly (see cell F7 in the attached):
=sum(if(frequency(if($b$2:$b$18=$f7,$a$2:$a$18),$a$2:$a$18)<>"",1,0))

I have 2 columns i want to find out which items match in each column and put the matching value in column c. I have tried Vlookup and continue to get an N/A .. I tried countif and I get either an N/A or a value error. I have tried turning the cells into text but that is not working either..
column A has about 1700 rows and column B has about 4000
MOST CELLS ARE 6-7 VARIABLES.. satrting with either 01, 02, 03 with 4-5 letters following or have a 6 digit number or 6 letter value.

Using formula, how do I rank
CAM100-24
COM98-21
CAM100-18
CAM27-37
COM121-5
COM98-23
so it first sorts in alphabetical order using the string before the "-" i.e. CAM27 comes before CAM100, and then by the biggest 'secondary values' (the value after the "-") so that COM98-23 comes before COM98-21?

I have a huge document that looks like this. This is only one part of roughly 2500 lines
blank
Original Budget
Previous Estimate
Estimate Actual
Actual Costs
[Code].....
My problem is that I need to extract Soft committ and actual cost for each element (this case its TPS658). What really makes the problem for me is that I only want cost for cost place 230, 250, 300, 350 (only 350 shown here). Not the total that is shown in the row for element name.

Hi guys, I am looking for a macro to do the following:
Go down a column and identify all accounts that are identical, then add up the values that are 5 columns to the right of each account and paste them on another sheet along with the account code (there are 12 values for each account to be added with the other identical accounts).
I've attached a spreadsheet, because I understnad this might be kind of confusing. In essence:
1. Go down column C
2. Look for accounts that are identical
3. Add up the values for each account in columns G:R
4. Copy and paste the added values to another sheet along with columns C:F for each account to identify it.

I have strings like this:
"xx-xx-100-ap01"
"xx-xx-200"
"xx-xx-200-ap01"
"xx-xx-200-ap02"
etc
I'm running a loop on all cells, and checking different values in each row where this strings occure.
But I would like to do a IF check on this string. If it find a string with 'ap' in it, it should do my check.
My problem is to understand the combinations of right, len, mid, instr etc. How could I use this functions to do checks in the strings.

I came upon this link below about a week ago: Create Chart/Graph From Text Strings
Domenic provied a solution that it will graph text strings in column A and it will display in the pie chart by using Define name range formulas. My dilema is I would like a second condition in those formulas. I would like the formula look in column A and sum up the values in column B base in column A and display it in the pie chart.

I have a table with three columns, column 1 is a list of names, column 2 is where I want my result to appear, and column 3 has my array of search values. Column 1 and 2 could have any number of rows with values, but column 3 will have less values. It looks like this if it's working right:
Item List
Result
Search List
[Code].....
What I am trying to do is for each cell in column 1, I want to see if there is a matching value in column 3 - it has to be either an exact match or a partial match (i.e. the string appears somewhere in the values of column 1).
I have been trying to use MATCH like this:
=ISNUMBER(MATCH($A2,$C:$C,0))
but it does not return true unless the match is exact.
way to get these partial string matches to work?

I need to do a vlookup that takes a string from one cell and then tries to find that string (embedded in a larger string) in the table array
Essentially I imagine this involves the FIND function at some point.

I have the following arrays.
A1=Array("A","D","F")
A2 = Array(Array(0, 1, 4, 5), Array(2, 0, 1, 1), Array(2, 3, 11, 3))
B1=Array("D","X","F","J")
B2 = Array(Array(6, 0, 2, 1), Array(1, 1, 6, 1), Array(7, 9, 1, 0),Array(0, 3, 2, 2))
I would like to print in column A all the unique/common values between Array A1 and Array B1. The common values are A,D,F,X,J. And I'd like to print in Columns D:G the A2(i) values and print in columns I:L the values B2(i) in the corresponding row of values of arrays A1 and B1. If some string only appears in array A1 (i.e. "A"), this means that string "A" have values associated in array A2, but not in B2, then print zeros from I:L and if the string only appears in array B1 (i.e. "X" and "J"), this means that strings "X" and "J" have values associated in array B2, but don't have valus in A2, then print zeros from D:G for the same row of X and J.

I am trying to extract values from a text string and add them up in Excel 2007. So far i have been successful in extracting the value out of the text string like this - =MID(I6,AD6,3) where AD6 holds the position number in the text string to start from. So it's working OK for one row but i need to do the same thing on multiple rows where the text string can be in different columns and I'd like it to automatically pick up the non-blank cell.
each row only has one column with text in it and the value i need to extract is always after "$". this is a working spreadsheet so the text string could move from column to column over time and I'd like my formula to be able to detect which column to read from. I then need to add up all the values from each row.
