I am submitting a book CSV file to my website. However, the website will not accept any cell that contains more than 80 characters. The error states the following. "WARNING: Title should be less than or equal to 80 chars; your Title was truncated to 80 chars" repeated 13 times.
View 2 RepliesIs there any way to do this, using VBA etc? I can't make the filename shorter since it's a thematic map from Google Charts.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a large list of parcels to be delivered which have names, the last 2 letters of the postcodes, addresses tel. no. etc. I have created a custom sort list of postcodes in the order I want to deliver them. I can only list a total of 85 postcodes since there are 2 characters in each postcode and a return at the end of each line, hence 85*3=255.
Is there any way I can make excel sort my list of parcels using a spreadsheet list of the 2 postcode letters of unlimited length? There is a theoretical maximum of 676 postcodes in my area (26*26) so I would need it to be at least this long. It would also be more convenient if it were an excel based list since the editing of such a list would be more convenient.
When trying to import an excel file (.xlsx) from the web to a local excel file on my computer, I have tried to set up a macro to automate this process. I recorded a macro using the "record macro" function, but when trying to import the .xlsx file, the URL was too long and Excel does not allow for such long URLs.
The URL in question is:
[URL]
One solution which I thought of was to shorten the URL with tinyurl.com, which converted the URL to: [URL] . I then used this in the macro recording and it indeed worked. I then tried to substitute all instances of the tinyurl in the VBA code with the long URL, but the
Code:
.SourceDataFile = "http://www.transelectrica.ro/widget/...let_excel=true"
was regarded as an invalid cell/argument.
Is there any way in which I can make this work? I need to have the whole URL, as in the end I plan to have an automated process with the URL changing every 10 seconds with the system clock (and thus refreshing the imported table every 10 seconds), so going through tinyurl every time is not an option.
I just reinstalled windows (XP) and Office 2003, SP3.
When entering text in a column and if it was larger than the current column, it used to just display into the next column unless there was data in that column.
Now, it just displays a few letter from the end of the first word. How can I change this back as default?
I have a form in Excel that has comments fields. Each comments field is a merged cell consisting of four rows and four columns. My understanding is that Excel should be able to display 1024 characters. The input that's causing me trouble has 360 characters. At around 300 characters, the text box gets filled with ############################# instead of text.
If I size the font down significantly to where there would be absolutely no question that the text would fit, it is still #######. I may have to end up using text boxes, but they are a bit troublesome for the less Excel-savvy users of the form.
i need help with 2 formulas to return text within a longer string.
the first result i need is a style #. this will always start at the 5th character, but the length is variable. it will always end right before the last "/" or "" in the string (there may or may not be a / or within the style number)
the 2nd result i need is a description of the style. this will always be after the last "/" or "" in the string and end before a ".", but there may not always be a period in the string.
Text string: ABC123123BASIC TEE.black
Style # result: 123123
Description result: BASIC TEE
Text string: DEF/4567LEAH/FLORAL TANK DRESS
Style # result: 4567LEAH
Description result: FLORAL TANK DRESS
I am working on sales information which includes postcodes. What i need to do is seperate the first or first two text characters from the rest of the postcode. I have attached a small snipet of what i am working on. Currently i am using the =Left(A4,2) but this will give me in some case a numerical value aswell. For example E1 or G1 in the case of the sample attached. Is there a formula that exists where it will just return the text values in a cell and not numerical values.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a cell (B2) I would like to apply multiple data validations to.
I know I need to use the custom formula option but don't know how to write the formula.
I don't even know if it is possible, but here is what I'm after
I need to make sure the cell is 4 digits long
I need to make sure the cell starts with a zero (Because the cell starts with a zero I have it as a text cell)
I need to make sure the 2nd number is not 0 if A2 begins with 5 (A2 is also a text cell).
I frequently need to extract email addresses from huge amounts of text, like 40+ pages long, etc... I was wondering if a macro could be developed somehow to leave me with a stack of email addresses. I suppose the macro would have to test each piece of text for an "@" and a ".com" and then stack only those terms in a column somewhere. Any ideas on how to do this? I am not macro savvy AT ALL...

I have literally thousands of words in a single columns column which looks like this:
absah
absen
absenan
absensi
abses
absis
absolusi
absolut
absolutisme
...
...
...
etc
My question is what formula if i'd have to enter to add three spaces between characters and five characters at every end of the word so it should look like this?:
a b s a h .
a b s e n .
a b s e n a n .
....
....
etc
Note i have entered a full stop at the end of the example above to make the five spaces visible in this demonstration (I dont need the period character inserted at all).
In my worksheet, column C contains a list of part numbers of various lengths.
How do I copy the part number without the last 3 characters & paste in col D?
I don't mind if this is achieved using VBA code or excel function.
How do I add special characters in-between text? I know how to include a registered sign by using =CHAR(174) but what I do not know is how to include text before and after the sign itself.

I want to trim text into 10 characters.I am new to excel.
Attached is the sample sheet.
TRIM.xls‎
"Is there some VBA code which could delete all first, second or third
characters of a text? Could it be done to the three last characters
from this same text and these be displayed on reverse order?"
Example:
AAAASAHDASK
AAASAHDASK
AASAHDASK
ASAHDASK
SADHASAAAA
ADHASAAAA
DHASAAAA
From the names listed in column A, in the table listed below, I wish to delete everything
to the right of the first two characters.
So the new column A would look this.

if there is maximum number of characters in a cell, above which wrapping and the row height auto-fit functions will not work? I typed a paragraph into a cell and have the cell set to wrap and the row height to auto-fit but it does not display on print preview or on actual printing past a certain character in the cell. Even when I manually increase the row height, it still does not display.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a spreadsheet that uses sql to gather data from our servers. From this data, I use concatenate function to put the data into one cell ready to copy/paste into our sms program. The program will only take 160 characters at a time..
Result I need:

I have a cell which holds text with a maximum number of characters of 6. Let´s say I want this cell to hold a word which is bigger, and trim it till it has 6 characters.
Example: word "Hippopotamus" (longer than 6 characters) should be trimmed so its displayed as "Hippop"(6 characters)
is there a way to specify how i want to trim, either right or left?
Example "Hippop"(6 characters trim right) or "otamus" (6 characters trim left)
In order to compare strings I have to remove a special character from imported text.
It is character F008 from Unicode(hex).
This charcter is not on my keyboard.
I find it under Insert - Symbol but I can't copy and paste it to the find/replace window.
how can I key in this character so that I can use it for find and replace?
I pasted in 1369 characters (including spaces) to a cell, and NO MATTER what I try, all characters will not print.
If I have the cell up for formatting on the function line, all text can be seen, but for some reason it cuts off the last sentance or more and will not show it in print preview.
I've tried all kinds of cell text formatting, cell merging, etc. with no luck. The only work around I found is to just have the "missing text" on the following row.
This is very similar to my previous post, which was solved. Now that I've extract the numbers, I need to extract the text for the specific work activities, for example 13Z or 9GGG. I'm assuming some variation on this formula:
=LOOKUP(9.99E+307,--MID(C4,MIN(FIND({1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0},C4&1234567890)),ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(C4)))))
is the solution, but I'm struggling with making the correct alterations.
I am trying to extract text from stings that appear in the following format XXX-XXX-XXX and XXX-XXX-XXX-XXX.
I have figured out how to extract the first and second sets of data, what I am stuck on is getting the third and (if present) fourth sections.
Is there a function that can remove all text and other characters from cell and only keep the numbers? The numbers can be randomly in the cell so not only in the end or beginning.
See attached file.
This should be simple, but I am struggling with finding a way to use the search or find function to identify text characters. This is my situation, I have for example a cell that contains FW023 or D1234. I need to be able to count the number of characters that are text.
i would think I would be able to do it with the search or find function, but can't figure out how to get it to just count the number of text characters with in it.
I need a Excel 2007 formula that will extract a string of text that is seperated by characters.
Example:
in Cell (A1) I have the following
ALA 11 : [ MOBILE ] 36619 1/2 ... HOME ... JUNE 2009 / TODAY: $ 50000
End Result wanted:
Cell (A2) 11
Cell (A3) MOBILE
Cell (A4) 36619 1/2
Cell (A5) HOME
Cell (A6) JUNE 2009
Cell (A7) 50000
How I can change this formula to find the first 3 characters of a text string?
Instead of using numbers in column A, it will be Names, I need the user to enter only the first 3 characters of the name and then display the results, (Meaning that all others irrelaavnt rows will be hidden.
Sub myHidingRoutine()
Dim foundCell As Range
With ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1")
Set foundCell = .Range("a:a").Find(What:=.Range("a2").Value, After:=.Range("a2"), _
LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlWhole, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:=False)
a formula that will count the txt chars in a cell example ie "aa99" result would be 2 or "aa99aa" equals 4
