Delete Characters More/and Less Than

Feb 19, 2007

I have a keyword list in ColA. about 25,000 phrases.
What I want to do is create a macro button.
when i click on it a pop up box would appear called "Deleting Characters"
It will have to 2 rows, 1 saying "More Than",, the other saying "Less Than"

So, beside these words are input boxes.
So I can type the numbers "2" and say "50"
So it will look at all the rows of data in my ColA (Always from A3 downwards)
and deletes all rows with less than 2 characters and more than 50 characters.
When it is finished a floating box appears saying
"123 Characters Less Than 2 Deleted"
"101 Characters More Than 50 Deleted"

Sub NoOfCharacters()
Dim lastrow As Long, TotP, TotC, AvC
lastrow = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
If lastrow < 4 Then
MsgBox "Nothing to sort!"
Exit Sub
End If
Range("B1").EntireColumn.ClearContents
Range("B3").Formula = "=LEN(A3)"
Range("B3").AutoFill Destination:=Range("B3:B" & lastrow)
Range("A3:B" & lastrow).Sort key1:=Range("B3"), order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlGuess
TotP = lastrow - 2
TotC = Application.Sum(Range("B3:B" & lastrow))
AvC = TotC / TotP
MsgBox "Total No Phrases: " & Chr(9) & Chr(9) & Chr(9) & TotP & Chr(13) & "Total No Characters: " & Chr(9) & Chr(9) & TotC & Chr(13) & "Avg No Characters Per Phrase: " & Chr(9) & AvC
End Sub

Delete First X Characters In Cells

Oct 10, 2007

I am trying to write a macro that will go through each cell in a column with the following format "| 12- 4" or "| 60-11" and will remove the first to character "| ".

There numbers are lengths, the first being feet the second inches. I would like to achieve in a separate column the numerical length (with decimals) multiplied by 1%. My code is as follows I just need help on the conversion.

Sub newLength()
Dim LR, lrow As Integer
Dim feet, inches, Line As Double

LR = Range("B65536").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Row
For lrow = LR To 2 Step -1
If Cells(lrow, "D") <> Cells(lrow - 1, "D") Then
Rows(lrow).Insert Shift:=xlDown
End If
feet = Left(Cells(lrow, "E").Value, 4)
inches = Right(Cells(lrow, "E").Value, 2) / 12 'I need to debug this line, but I suspect there is more I need to do.
Cells(lrow, "F") = feet + inches
Next lrow
End Sub

How To Delete All Words Containing Specific Characters

May 14, 2014

I need a formula which can clean up a huge data set. Essentially i need to delete the entire word which contains the characters "aceae". note that "aceae" is a suffix, but i need to delete the entire word not just the suffix, plus keep the rest of the string. i have tried the "find and replace" function of excel with wildcard, but that deletes everything before/after without deleting the entire word. i have tried a combination of formulas to isolate the unwanted words, but that method is inefficient and inaccurate. below is a schematic of what im looking to do:

Column A ------------------------------ Column B
l. planeri asteraceae africa laselva-----> l. planeri africa laselva
l. planeri moraceae europe singer------> l. planeri europe singer
origin l. fluviatilis bignoniaceae asia----> origin l. fluviatilis asia
alternate l. fluviatilis piperaceae asia---> alternate l. fluviatilis asia

Delete Unwanted Characters Within Certain Criterias

Jun 20, 2007

I have a spreadsheet that i manually edit each and everyday e.g.

A B C
EABGL/UD NDT254892
MRMR/RUS/ELQNS259762
LSL/UW/B LQNS267259
WWEX/UQ bbr263666
LWL/KL/B 270407
MYTCJ/UB NDT271774
LNL/SB/UB HLC - 271955
SMMQD/WT HLC - 269516
EACO/TN/UGBBR257827
NILVA/UC EUi273645

For everything that doesnt equal EM, LN, LW and TH in column A, everything should be deleted in column B.

For the remaining EM, LN, LW and TH, i would then like it to delete / (forward slash and all characters after this) so that this would make my life easier.

Text Formula? Postcodes: Seperate The First Or First Two Text Characters From The Rest Of The Postcode

Feb 16, 2007

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.

Delete Characters After Last Specific Character Occurence

Jun 11, 2008

I have one column with many numbers. Some have one dash and some have two.

Example:
123-123456-65
012-789546-1
98B12354-889

Is there a way that I can remove all characters after the last – (dash) in the number?
Example:

If number is 123-123456-65
Then 123-123456

If number is 98B12354-889
Then 98B12354

If someone could just lead me in a direction, I might be able to figure it out. However, my code is elementary and most of the time, I record macros and the play with the code until it does what I want.

Validate Cell For Text Length & Characters In Text

Mar 13, 2008

I 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).

Compiling Text With Certain Characters From Text

Jan 31, 2008

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...

How To Add Three And Five Characters Between Text?

Jun 9, 2009

I've searched Excel's Help but still unsure how to do this. I hope excel experts here can lend me a hand...

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).

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.

Search For Text Delete This Row And Delete The Row For Every Instance

Apr 29, 2008

I have an formula if statement that returns "deletethisrow" if the test is true.

For every occurence of "deletethisrow" I want to delete the row. The number instances will be variable each time I run the file. So maybe it will find that string, maybe it will find 10 instances. I want to do some kind of loop that won't error out when it cannot find "deletethisrow", but will delete the rows for each instance where it does find this string.

I know it was verbose, but if I just do a loop for a fixed number of loops it will error out if it runs out of rows to delete.
