Symbol Appear When I Type A Certain Character

Jul 10, 2008

I am trying to create a document and i'm not sure if this is possible or not, but i'd like to type in a number in column A (1-10) and then in column B have a symbol appear corresponding to the number.

So if i type in 5 in Column A, Column B will have 5 squares pop up (or something along those lines), etc.

Is It Possible To Display Character Length As I Type

Jun 20, 2009

I am sure this isn't just a setting that can be enable in excel. I was wondering if there is a code that will allow the display of the number of characters in a cell when typing in it.

I know there is a len() function but I don't know how to use it so it displays my char length on the go.

Append All Digits Before Character To All Numbers Between The Same Character

May 18, 2008

I have got a list of numeric abbreviations, for instance 10739011/21/31/41. What it should really display are the numbers 10739011, 10739021, 10739031 and 10739041 (the first six figures stay the same). All the numbers in my list are 8 figures long. I want to change the list from the list seperated by the backward slash to the complete numbers. I have uploaded an example of the list with backward slash between the numbers. Is there a way that Excel can automatically change these numbers to the full numbers?

Because all the numbers are 8 figures long, I thought the first 6 figures of the 1st number can be copied and those 6 figures pasted before the other two figures after the backslash. Auto Merged Post Until 24 Hrs Passes;sorry, pressed OK too quickly. The problem is that there are sometimes 4 numbers in the cell, sometimes 6 and once three. I would like Excel to complete all the numbers in the cell and then move on to the cell underneath it and so on. Also, I would like each number to have it's own cell.

Box Symbol

Oct 9, 2009

I have a sheet that when printed out, will have 1 or more check boxes (depending on a formula) beside various items. Basically, if in a datafield it shows that there should be 3 boxes beside a line, it will show similar to this (except the O's are check boxes).

Usable 3 times per day. O O O

In the actual symbols list, there are no such symbols. I think there must be another type of symbol available as I use: ►

I grabbed that symbol from another spreadsheet, and I have no idea where it came from. I have wanted a similar arrow that points to the left or up, but I have no idea where to find them. I only know that the spreadsheet accepts a copy/paste of this symbol, and it does not seem to be related to any particular font set.

where I could find a "empty box" symbol, and also tell me where symbols like ► come from.

Delete Everything After A Symbol

May 22, 2008

I have a large list of data.
Approx 10,000 rows.

All I'm looking to do is delete in each row everything after the / symbol.
So everything after a forward slash gets deleted.

All my data is in ColA from A3 downwards.
Ideally would love a macro I can assign a button to.
As an example;

So the above after the macro run would look like;

Getting Plus Symbol To Appear In Front Of Appropriate Values

May 23, 2013

I am trying to create a custom number format that will put a plus sign in from of the value in a cell if the value is positive.
Here is what I have been using:

+#,###;-#,###;"On Forecast"

There have been a few problems with this. Firstly, the values are have two decimals, and I have not been able to adjust it accordingly. Secondly, there are some cells that contain only a zero, and the custom format above changes the zeros to 'On Forecast. Other than these two issues, that custom format works.

Macro To Replace Symbol

Jul 9, 2014

I'm using a large database - excel based, with lots of VBA and macros inside - where the default decimal format is “.” (period). When I copy and paste into a normal excel workbook format I want to replace the periods with comas. The paste function I'm using is “Match Destination Formatting (M)”.

I've recorded a macro to replace all of the periods with comas - still some of the values come up as a whole number, the period not being replaced with the coma.

I've tried almost all of the formats - text, general, number .... Still does not work.

Adding A Value/symbol In Between Words

Jul 27, 2009

is it possible to take a cell, and add a symbol in between every word?

for example:
cell1 = i am having a good day
desired cell1 becomes = i-am-having-a-good-day

cell2 = super awesome
desired cell2 becomes = super-awesome

i have looked into the option of using Data > Text To Columns, then using = CONCATENATE(B54,"-",C54,"-",D54) to form the string

however, since the different cells have different lengths of words, the concatenate(cell,"-",cell...) is not flexible...

For copying cell content into an other cell one can use = in the receiving cell.

Is there an equivalent symbol that will only copy the formatting into the receiving cell, without using format painter?

Can complete formatting instructions for each cell be seen somewhere, similar to the data in the formula bar?

Extract Characters To The Right Of Symbol

Oct 8, 2013

Data in field A1 currently appears as below.

8/10

I want to extract everything to the right of the "/" in a new field.

The formula that I am using is =RIGHT(A1,FIND("/",A1)-1)

For some reason, I am only receiving a 0 in the new field and not the 10 that I expect.

What's odd is that the formula is working as intended on every other field except this one.

Delete Degree Symbol Through VBA

May 22, 2014

Have written all the code to remove various words,numbers, etc from cells but this one symbol...I can not figure it out.

It looks like this:

Its the degree symbol, however using that symbol in VBA has proved to fail me. I have a large data set that is created for import but it will continue to fail until I remove this, Find(Replace) should work right? But using a search in VBA it deletes the entire cell.

Entering Symbol If Greater Than Zero

Jun 6, 2014

I have tried to create a simple formula, but I am unable to make it work correctly. I need a * symbol in a column if the number to the left is greater than zero, and blank if left cell is also blank. My current formula that does not work displays the symbol if there is a blank or number in the left column. If this is needed, the formula A5 to the left reads another worksheet and displays a "" blank if no data.

Current formula that needs correction. B5 formula reads A5 and should enter "*" if >0 and "" blank if A5 is blank.

=IF(A5>0,"*","")

The current formula is incorrectly returning * if A5 is blank or if it has a number greater than zero. Correct formula that will return the correct results.

Search A Cell For A Symbol

Aug 24, 2007

I need to take cells such as the following from A1 down:

Baker, Helen
Brown, Joe
Smith, John
Roberts
Thompson, Karen
White, Daniel
Wright, Lisa

I need to move this to the next column but where there is a cell such as the 4th without a comma it needs to add ", N/A".

Basically it should make "Roberts" from A4 become "Roberts, N/A". I think it needs something to search for a comma and if it's not present to add that to the end.

How to remove all the " symbol out of a string of data?

The " symbol appears at different places and i need to remove them all completely. the Find & Replace tool doesn't work because when you have say 3/4" and want it to just read 3/4 it automatically converts it to 03-Apr. even when you have changed the cell formatting to text.
