Data Swapping On The Fly
Feb 1, 2010In trying to better this project i am working on, and getting great help from this forum, I have a new question. Is it possible to swap data in a cell on the fly either through a button, check box or radial?
What I have is a "bid" area on a work book that is supplied info based on the user choice. So what happens is the user goes to a part page, picks and item, and then clicks a button to add the item to a bid sheet. From there the corresponding cells are auto filled via VLOOKUP. The item that is transferred is the part number; also this is what I would like to “swap” on the fly. The part numbers have generic descriptor (which I already have stored on another sheet along with the rest of the data that is auto filled via VLOOKUP) but because the user is transferring that data for VLOOKUP to work I am not sure it can be done.

Sheet Preparation By Ordering And Swapping Cells Vba Macro
Jun 5, 2007in 1 workbook i have 2 sheets (sheet1 and sheet2) with same format of data that I need to compare and compile in sheet3 by a primary key column.
example:
sheet 1 & 2 data format:
|Atr1|Key|Atr2|SubAtr1_1|SubKey1|SubAtr1_2|SubAtr2_1|SubKey2|SubAtr2_2|Atr3|
..................... ......................................../......................................../
......................................Set1.....................................Set2
To be more specific I can compare this with an electrical wiring table, where:
Key is the wire number
Atr1, Atr2, Atr3 are general atributes of the wire number
Set1 are the atributes of the first end of the wire, called "from":
SubKey1 is the "from" device and its subatributes SubAtr1_1 & SubAtr1_2
Similar for the other end of the wire is Set2.
This means that Set1 and Set 2 have similar format & type of data.
I have found on your site an example of macro that is doing the comparision between the 2 sheets of data but I encountered a problem...sometimes on sheet2 Set1 and Set2 are reversed and are highlighted as a difference but I don't want this.
Please help me with macro that would create a rearranged copy of sheet 2 respecting the following conditions:
1. if Key from sheet1 cannot be found on sheet2 then copy entire row on sheet3.
2. if Key from sheet2 cannot be found on sheet1 then copy entire row on sheet3.
3. If Key from sheet1 = Key from sheet2
If SubKey1 from sheet1 = SubKey2 from sheet2
& SubKey2 from sheet1 = SubKey1 from sheet2
Then reverse Set1 with Set2 by swapping cells
and copy entire row (with Set1 and Set2 reversed)to sheet3.
All data on sheet 3 should be sorted by Key.
Take X Characters From One Cell And Y Characters From The Next?
Aug 1, 2014So we have people's names in a table. First name in one column and last name in another column. We have a 3rd column where we can use 8 characters to do a combination of First 5 of Last Name + first 3 of first name. However, if someone's last name is only 3 or 4 characters, we'd then want to take more from the first name to fill out the 8 characters.
So:
Charles Johnson -> Johnscha
John Smith -> Smithjoh
Willian Wu -> Wuwillia
What's the best way to do that without creating some crazy formula with tons of if/thens?

Sep 28, 2013I have an index of 80,000 names from an index. Some names appear in multiple volumes and on multiple pages within a volume. While the name is the same, they are different people. The Roman numeral is the volume and the numeric is the page number.
Example of original data: Joe Shmoe V-225, 310 VIII-22, 86, 110
I have separated the data into separate columns. Now I have:
Col 1 Col 2 Col 3 Col 4 Col 5 Col 6
Joe Shmoe V-225 310 VIII-22 86 110
At this point, I want to combine the Roman numeral in Col 2 with Col 3 and 4 and combine the Roman numeral in Col 4 with Col 5 and 6.
There are way too many records for me to manually enter the Roman numeral where missing.

Jan 28, 2010I have a spreadsheet which I use to enter notes related to particular invoice numbers. A v-lookup pulls the notes into another tab. What I'm running into is that the notes can be quite lengthy - in excess of 1,000 characters. When the notes get too long, they don't all appear in a single cell (unless it's extremely wide).
I'm wondering if there may be a way to maintain my notes in a word doc instead? Maybe in a table that pulls in using a v-lookup? But I'm not able to figure out how to direct a v-lookup to a word doc.

Identify Characters In A Cell And Put Corresponding Word Into Another Cell
Apr 30, 2014As you can see, in D5, I have the charactor chain SRG-DC01-RA-xxxxxxx, and in D6 I have the charactor chain SRG-DC43-RA-xxxxx.
With the formula that I have entered, I would have thought that E5 would have generated "Lawnton". I don't want the formula to pick up the SRG, the RA, or the number, just the DCXX component.
This is what I have now:
=IF(OR(ISNUMBER(SEARCH({"DC43","DC01"},D5))),"Erskine Park","Lawnton")
which has not changed a thing from:
=IF(OR(ISNUMBER(SEARCH({"DC43"},D5))),"Erskine Park")
Surely I am not far off the mark??

Duplicate Characters In A Cell?
Feb 18, 2013I am not sure whether this can be done with a function/formula or with VBA, hence posting this query in general. A neat formula however would be the best solution, coz the number of entries varies, in the workbook attached I have 14 different cases though. I need to know when a cell does not repeat any of the possible 7 letters, in each given cell. If there is repetition then leave the cell blank , if all four of the letters are different then place "NR" in the cell.

Removing The / Between Characters In A Cell
May 14, 2009See the attached file. I regularly receive input files which I have to reformat and upload to a website as a .csv. The website does not like the / between the characters on the Input Data tab. Is there a way to automatically search and remove them and leave the rest of the characters intact? The columns do not always appear in the same order and there could be more or less columns. On the Import Template tab, columns A-I will always be there, so ideally the code should make the changes from the Input Data tab and copy the present columns (J thru whatever) header and data over to the Import Template tab starting in 'J1'. I think that VBA would be the best way to go due to the variable nature of the columns.

Maximum Characters Per Cell
Dec 26, 2006I have a worksheet that multiple users will be entering in data, this information is then being used to pull into a form located on a sepearte worksheet within the workbook. One of the cells in the input sheet has the potential to have more characters than excel will allow. It is my understanding the maximum number of characters per cell is 1,024.
What is the best way to setup my spreadsheet in the event the data contains more than 1,024 characters. The informatino going into the cell are legal descriptions of property so I want to be able to keep the description together in the final document in the other worksheet. Is there a way the user can input the entire decription in one cell, regardless of the character size, then have a formula to take the first 1,024 characters and put them in one cell, followed by another formula to put the next 1,024 characters in the next cell?
Then in my main document I would use the concatenate formual to combine these two cells into one.
