How can I transform a text string into a formula. ='F1'!$C$2
This appears as a text and I want to convert it to a formula exactly like it's written. I made this formula like this because I need to get the value from 1000 sheets. So I use the formula to change the sheet number automatically.
But now I can not convert the text into a real formula.
I know that I could do it with a macro but I prefer to do it without using a macro.
I need to transform many text (that Looks like numbers) in to numbers. The thing is that, there is an option to search for errors in the "formulas" menu, but I want a code in vba that I can run.
so in conclusion the thing is:
1. look for text that "looks like" numbers
2. turn them into numbers
I have a table with data and I want to transform the data in table 1 to the format in table 2 with a formula. I want to change the table format since I have data with 12 000 rows in table 2 format. I haven't been able to find any formula that works, so I will try to explain my problem
Table 1: How the data looks like
Account number
Account Name

1. The same accounts are used several times, but with different description or months.
2. All "0" values are eliminated in table 2.
My first thought was to use a pivot table, but I can't use it on sheet 1 since each month become a separate value.
Maybe there are some setting in pivot tables that makes it work, but I would prefer a formula to solve the problem.
I want my macro to transform the cells whom values are visible into pure value no formula "behind them". I have simple multiplication formulas in those cells. If The result of a multiplication is 0 and I format that cells to not show me that 0 with "0.000;-0.000;;@" the macro still deletes the formula from that cell.

I have been trying to work out a formula without success so far. If you look at the this text string
Code:
Depart Doncaster Depot with a Mini bus at 0649
The "Mini" word in red is the one that I am trying to work out with.
Here is the problem. The "Mini" word could be replaced with 7 other words - Walk, Artic, Dart Smart, Maxi, Smart, Staff Car, or just bus with no explanation as to what type it is.
I need a formula to look at the text string and work out which one of the above categories are included in the text and based on that gives me either W, A, Dart Smart, Mx, S, Car, and the last to be just N.
What formula can I use to extract this string text.
I need to be able to extract the name after "and"
I would like to extract the name Lana from:
What formula can I use to search a range of cell values for a specific text string? My method is searching formulas instead, which is not what I want.
Background: I am developing a little test script for a project and I want to include some automatic validations to help make the job of the testers easier.
What I have set up so far:
1. Testers input numbers into specific fields M8 through M20.
2. Fields N8 through N20 automatically check fields M8 through M20 and compare those with what is contained in a range of hidden cells I set up in advance. A formula ensures that it reports "correct" or "incorrect" on a field-by-field basis, based on the comparison.
3. Cell O8 searches for the text string "incorrect" in cells N8 through N20. If that text string appears in any one of the cell values (not formulas), then O8 directs the tester to test again. If the text string "incorrect" does not appear, then cell O8 reports that the test was successful, and the tester can proceed to the next test (exact same setup repeats).
My only problem is in the formula used for the last step. I have tried a few different formulas I know in cell 08, but none are giving me the results I'm looking for. The closest I have come is a successful search and validation based on the string being in the formula instead of in the value of the given cell.
how to checking data in 2 column each row, if partial/altogether string is match, shown "ok" otherwise show "check" with data in column a as parameter..
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm working on a formula to make it enable a part of the text then return the best possible match. Below is my formula
=MATCH("*"&$A11&"*",'[Customer Master List - 05.30.xlsx]Export Worksheet'!$B$82:$B$1298,0)
However, it works with some text but won't work for some.
For example, I have this text CARE-A-LOT, INC and in the master sheet there is a similar text like this CARE-A-LOT. I want it to return CARE-A-LOT as this the best match possible.
I have a long list of terms, and I need to identify which of these terms appear in another body of text strings. Rather than searching for each individual term, is there a formula that check the terms for me automatically.
The terms will appear in the larger body of text, but they won't appear on their own, so they won't be perfect matches.
I've attached a sheet to try to illustrate the problem.

I currently have a large amount of data extracted from a performance tracking system. The columns I am concerned with are Page Title and Time (the time it takes the system to navigate to the this page).
I am trying to create a dashboard to show:
Webpage Title (each unique instance of the webpage)Aggregate Time (total time it takes for all instances)# of Hits (Each time the value appears in the data)Average Time (this formula I can handle; Aggregate Time/# of Hits)
The major issue is that the webpage is extracted as XYZ001 -- PAGE1, XYZ439 -- PAGE2, XYZ854 -- PAGE1, etc. Basically, I am only concerned with what comes after the --.
Here is an example of the two tabs.
DASHBOARD TAB:
Page Title
Aggregate Time
# of Hits
Avg. Time
PAGE1
[Code]...
Basically, I am looking for a formula that says,
For any instance in the Page Title column that contains PAGE3, add the amount in the Time column (i.e., 1.2 +.5).
I have a long list of process steps in a collumn e.g.
A
_Tank1_CIP
_Tank1_CIP
_Tank2_CIP
_Tank4_CIP
_Tank_9_CIP
and then i have a list of tanks: Tank1, Tank2 etc. The i want a forumla to extract and return the tank in a adjacent cell:
A B
_Tank1_CIP Tank1
_Tank1_CIP Tank1
_Tank2_CIP Tank2
_Tank4_CIP Tank4
_Tank_9_CIP Tank9
I am looking for a formula to remove the text 2.2 from the string Rav4 2.2 D-4d X or 1.33 out of Yaris 1.33 Vvt etc, I have tried using the formula
=IF(P2="","",VLOOKUP("*"&P2&"*",AM$1:AN$25,2,1))
But it just keeps returning #N/A. I have all the variables outlined in cells AM$1:AN$25 hence the reference. I currently have the formula
=IF(P2="","",VLOOKUP(P2&"*",AK$1:AL$25,2,1))
Which is working perfectly @ finding and returning the start of the string but just cannot get the one to find the middle characters.
When building complex and long formulas in excel which can not be auto
filled due to non progressive variables I tend to combine several cells
containing parts of the formula using the ampersand (&) operator.
E.g. B2=[A1&A2&A3&A4]
where:
A1=[=]
A2=[INDIRECT($A$1&"!"&"S]
A3=[8]
A4=[")]
The result will then look like this: =INDIRECT($A$1&"!"&"S8"), then I
copy all the values created by this method (it could be several
thousand)
and past them into the appropriate worksheet using: past special > past
values.
The problem is that in order for the text string to turn into an active
formula I have to go into each individual cell (F2) and hit Enter. When
I am working with thousand of cells this is not very feasible.
is there a function that will split a text string based on a symbol. I know how tyo use left and right, which are based on a set number of characters but I want to split based on a "/" mark. whats to the left of the "/" mark and whats to the right of the "/" mark. any ideas. an exaplme is: tom / tim. i want a formula that will put the word "tom" in a cell and another formula that will put "tim" in another cell.

View 7 Replies View Relatedthere is a ONE column containing data. it looks like 7 rows of content, 2 blanks, 7 rows of contant, 3 blanks etc. there can be more than 1500 rows in this document.
i am looking for a macro which would copy these 7 VERTICAL rows in 1 column and transform them into a NEW HORIZONTAL ROW IN 7 COLUMNS.
step by step it would be like:
- copy 7 rows in 1 column
- transform it into 1 row, 7 colums and put it ONE ROW ABOVE THE ORIGINAL
- delete original 7 rows in 1 column
i did macro by recording the whole action but it works only for first repeat. it does not work then because the macro keeps the row number and rewrites the content. i would need a macro which works independently of the row number.
Is there a ATransform or replace command in Excel. i have a value of 04/23/09 which is a date and would like to replace all "/" with "-' thereby making the value 04-23-09. I could examine each character value within a cell but this would just make a long coding and would like to know if there's a shorter way to do this?.

how do I transform thousands of groups of columns (each group has 6 columns) into A Single row (placed into another sheet) using Macro?
Since my data is large, so efficiency is also important.
I have a series of raws with 7 numbers in each raw; sums may vary a lot from raw to raw, and also differences between one number and the other in a same raw.
Now, i need to obtain a much simpler distribution of scores, so reducing differences.
I would need to transform all numbers into a 0-4 score distribution, according to differences between numbers in a same raw. It's like a kind of rank score.
I want to obtain in each raw:
- 1-2 numbers with score = 4 (if three or more numbers have similar values: no 4 scores)
- a maximum of 3-4 numbers with score 2-3 (according to differences between these numbers but also also according to the 4 scores already assigned)
- all other scores = 1 if the numbers are >0
- all other scores = 0 if the numbers are 0
example: |14|23|3|0|45|0|10| => |2|3|1|0|4|0|2|
Would it be possible to do with Excel?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a sheet with data imported of another software. In the column "G" are all the dates, and the problem is how can i change the format, because, some of them are "mm/dd/yyyy" and the rest are "mm/dd/yyyy".
Is there a way to change it to the same format? maybe there are some dates like "11/02/2007" that are "02/11/2007" (i don't know how change it with code), and others that the difference between formats is logically clear. I want to get the format "dd/mm/yyyy".
After this i want to apply a filter between two dates, for example, (in dd/mm/yyyy) from01/05/2007 to 30/08/2007.
I've tried different ways, but i'm not able to transform the format of the dates to the same format, although i've read your help and other posts that talk about this.
I have never written a macro and when I record one I usually have trouble with the relative references.
I am trying to write a macro to transform formulas into values every month.
I want to transform formulas:
- across a range of tabs: each tab is exactly alike and is named page-1 to page 25
- on a different column every month (same column across all tabs)
- on the same rows: L168 to L227 and L266 to L277 (same rows across all tabs)
Am working with a spreadsheet of about 1000 rows and 50 columns which I need to transform into 2 columns and as many rows as needed. I have attached a simplified example of a 3x3 spreadsheet so you can see what I mean. I have already managed to get my result using Filtering and some copy and paste but I am struggling to now fully automate the solution.
