I'm trying to remove leading spaces in cells that have numbers. I'm familiar with the functions TRIM and CLEAN but they don't seem to work on numbers. Unfortunately, just reformatting the cell as text doesn't work.
View 9 RepliesOn a regular basis I have to upload cost to our order system. These cost are sent to me by the suppliers, and the part numbers have to match exactly, (from the excel sheet to the order system), or else the cost won't upload.
I have found that in some of my upload files there is a space, or sometimes several spaces, at the end of the part number. These spaces will screw up the upload. I alwyas use the "Replace" option to replace spaces with nothing, and that usually works.
In the attached sample file, there are 3 part numbers with a space at the end of the part number. I tried using the replace option. That didn't work. I also tried using the =TRIM() formula and the =CLEAN() formula, and neither of those removed the spaces. Why can't I remove the spaces from the end of these part numbers?
"clean" function is not recognized.
Sub ConvertToTrim()
For Each rng In Selection
rng.Value = Clean(Trim(rng.Value))
Next rng
End Sub
I'm coping and pasting data (html) into a worksheet. When I try to format some of the columns as accounting$, number, ect. They won't format. It looks as if there are spaces before and after the data. So I tried the trim and clean function but it doesn't work, so I guess the blank "spaces" are not really spaces.
It gets better...
When I do the same exact copy and paste (as html) on another persons computer, they are able to format just fine, and the "spaces" are removed automatically.
Why is this working on one computer but not the other? Is it a setting that my computer has enabled or disabled? If so, what is it?
I have data listed in column A. The data appears in text, blanks, and phone numbers....all in different rows.
I need to capture only the phone number and 3 rows above it no matter what the text says or how many rows inbetween each phone number. Then proceed to copy and paste it to a new sheet into one column.
This needs to continue until i reach the end of column a.
Eg. row 1: the fox
row 2: the pig
row 3: animals
row 4: water
row 5: land
row 6: (780) 111-2222
i need to copy rows 3-6, paste to new column and then continue down column A looking for the next chunk of data to copy and paste.
So it would turn out to look like:
row 1: animals
row 2: water
row 3: land
row 4: (780) 111-2222
All in column B
I get color item from comma delimited numbers..Here's a sample of what i'm looking for.

How can I ensure that all Rows before "Title" and all Rows after the last populated Row (denoted by the fact that there is a single blank Cell after it) are completely deleted?
I have a spreadsheet that has data in columns A through AE. I have built a VBA that deletes all columns except 2 (columns C & AF), and brings them over to columns A & B.
Column C contains a 10 digit number and column AF contains text similiar to "ASSIGNED ON 10 CALLS BOLDI". My VBA deletes all unneeded columns, but I am having trouble getting it to do 2 additional functions. I want it to delete the verbiage of "Assigned ON" in the cells under column AF, and delete the last number of the account number under column C, so that the account number is only 9 digits long.
Here is my VBA:

I have created an excel tool w/ A LOT of macros in it, and the tool "speaks" to the SQL server (downloads data from it and uploads it back). My big problem now is that every time I run any of the VBA code the amount of RAM that is getting allocated to Excel (2007) is increasing - I am checking it in the Task Manager. So if I work for a long time without closing down Excel - my entire RAM is getting consumed and the system slows down, and sometimes crushes.
I was wondering if there is a way in VBA to clean up memory that is used by Excel.
Do you have any hints? I am using extensively 3 things - screenupdating off; displaymessages off, and calculations off. But this speeds up Excel but doesn't reduce the memory usage.
I have a bunch of "empty" cells. They only look empty visually. In fact, they contain something, because they are preventing some formulas from working. How do I cleanse them and make them truly empty without disturbing the contents of the other cells containing real data.

This formula does what I need it to do, but this is the shortest of the lines. Another cell has the same structured formula, but 15 hard keyed values. I know there is a way to clean this up, I just can't remember how and searching isn't providing the results I need.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am putting together a master sheet of 1000s of contacts for colleagues taken from various sources (outlook contact download, linked in download, inputted business cards etc). I have noticed that everyone has their own way of using outlook and the data (normally addresses and phone numbers) appear in different columns and formats. I have used the function concatenate to add zeros back to numbers if i have had to use .csv as the download output, but I have the issue of mobile numbers in the wrong columns (i.e. someone has put a mobile number as the business phone). Is there a way of creating a new column and then applying a logic formula of some kind saying if a number starts with 07 then it appears in the new column, but if it doesnt then to ignore it therefore separating the mobile numbers so I can add to the correct column?
View 1 Replies View Relatedin my sample xls,there are some contents (text) that i don't need. i'd like to remove the duplicate entries from the Consignee Address rows based on the contents of the Consignee City cells. what i mean? lets say, here,the word CHIOS shows 3 times,we dont need that,so we have to delete it in the Consignee Address,and leave it only in the Consignee City
Shipment Number Consignee Consignee Address Consignee ZipCode Consignee City Consignee PhonePieces Shipment Total Weight
0866-03636276 MRS NELLH NIRI LEAFOROS AIGAIIOU 22 CHIOS CHIOS 82100 CHIOS302023288 1 0.11
so,the final text should be like this:

0866-03636276 MRS NELLH NIRI LEAFOROS AIGAIIOU 22 82100 CHIOS302023288 1 0.11
in the second case,we have something like this:
Shipment Number Consignee Consignee Address Consignee ZipCode Consignee City Consignee PhonePieces Shipment Total Weight

I need to clean out unnecessary data from a file, (see this example text file Link),
I'm not sure how to go about this in excel,
basically every file starts with 9 cells that needs to be deleted, then two cells of real data then one with garbage that needs to be deleted, it goes like that for 40 cells,
then again 10 cells of garbage that needs to be deleted, then 40 of real data and goes like that up to 3000 lines,
I know it sounds confusing but if you take a look at linked file from above it will make more sense, (to save it right click on "clean up.txt" and then save target as)
at the end I need to have all cells full of data
I have 2 sheets, 1 sheet has a list of materials that require Certifications. The 2nd sheet is actually a report of which materials is needed for the specific job at hand. Column C will be linked to check boxes on a different sheet in the future (thats why i used True/false instead of Yes/no). What i would like to happen is when a cell in Column C is TRUE the information in column B be sent to the Certifications sheet in a list from C8 to C34 with no spaces.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an excel sheet with approx 30,000 rows of data.
These are all keyword phrases.
They can be related to any subject, but for this example these are related to the root keyword phrase of "car Rent"
I have some software which basically pulls in keyword phrases from search engines and meta tags etc, including misspelled keyword phrases.
My problem;
The data is uncleaned.
In other words there might be I think it's called "Carriage return" data in there, so the row of data might be very deep (Instead of a row height of say 10.5 it could be anything, IE some could be 100 or 200 even).
There are unwanted characters, for example; ()[]{}+?!""^*
(If it could delete all unwanted characters except for letters/digits)
There is a problem I see, that if it removes _ or - between words, that it will join the words together which won't be of any use. If it deletes anything with a letter either side of it or a letter and digit, or 2 digits, 1 either side it would then need to add a space to replace the hyphen.
So for example; if there was a phrase in the list like ....

I am trying to use excel tools to clean dirty data and compare the two cells. The information is there but tainted with additional information that is not relevant. I have tried to use Left/Right tools to capture alpha characters leading an address number with no real success. Also, when I get the data it seems to have some embedded breaks that I can't seem to get rid of that cause my tasks to error too.

It was only one character which represents carriage return. It looks like one little square with question mark inside.
