Trimming Cells (not Spaces)
Oct 20, 2008Let's say in a cell i have the text ABCD/0123/01234 or ABC/0123/012345
How would i go about extracting whatever is inbetween the / ? i.e. 0123 in both examples?

I've got a problem with a report that we need to manipulate in Excel. the report details the man hours each of our analysts has spent on calls and reports in the following format HH:MM:SS. However, the report comes out with a space after 'SS', so I need to trim this in order for excel to calculate total and average fix times. Cells are formatted to custom [H]:MM:SS.
With over 200 records requiring trimming per report, is there a formula that I can apply to this? I have tried =trim("Cell number") but this doesn't work.
I have a credit card number problem where I am trying to trim the data so that I get rid of the spaces between the numbers (number sequence look like this: 5999 9999 9999 9999. This is currently formatted as text, and I would like to maintain this as text and not convert it to a number. The trim function can't seem to get rid of the spaces.

I have a large spreadsheet that I need to take the spaces out within the text in each cell. Is there an excel function or macro that can do this? It would save me lots of time rather then having to go in manually and doing it!

I have just imported alot of data into excel which i was wondering if theres a way of trimming
theres a column where all the cell values end in ".GB" or ".ES" basically a "." then 2 letters. Is there a formula to trim this off?
I have a formula that is dependent upon a column of cells containing text. Cells within this column randomly have an additional space (" ") following the words. With this invisible space, the formula doesn't work as intended.
Since I have an extremely long list of names, is there a way to easily remove additional spaces after words without manually going through each cell and deleting them?
I have the below data that I need to concatenate, merge... I'm not sure.
The data looks like this currently:
So that it reads in one sentence, e.g. Northumberland; Newcastle; North Tyneside; South Tyneside (note - no "." or ";" at the end of the string).
I had come up with this formula -
=IF(A11>0,A11&"; ","")&IF(B11>0,B11&"; ","")&IF(C11>0,C11&"; ","")&IF(D11>0,D11&"; ","")&IF(E11>0,E11&"; ","")&IF(F11>0,F11&"; ","")&IF(G11>0,G11&"; ","")&IF(H11>0,H11&"; ","")&IF(I11>0,I11&"; ","")&IF(J11>0,J11&"; ","")&IF(K11>0,K11&"; ","")&IF(L11>0,L11&"; ","")&IF(M11>0,M11&"; ","")&IF(N11>0,N11&"; ","")&IF(O11>0,C11&"","")
Which works fine if there is a value in cell O, but if not, then a semi-colon appears at the end of the string. It also seems incredibly clunky.
Basically, I'm struggling (being a total n00b) to get the semi-colons in the right place, blank cells to be skipped or not included, and for there to be no semi-colon after the last value.
I have a data table which has a mixture of text, blank cells, and cells with spaces in. I have created a pivot table from the data table. The pivot table is counting the cells with spaces in instead of reading them as blank. I have been able to fix this by putting on a filter in the data table, highlighing all the blank cells only and then clearing them column by column.
The problem is the data table is 50 columns long, so it is quite time consuming to do this manually. The data table gets updated regularly so this is an ongoing problem. Does anyone know of a faster solution to fix this problem? I have attached a snapshot of the problem as an example

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am working with a spreadsheet and rather new to be VBA. How do I select a range that only has data. I currently have the following macro, but when I run it, it checks every cell in the active worksheet which cause the application to hang. I would like it to automatically select only cells that have data in them ignoring all empty cells. I need this to be an automatically process running without the user selecting a range of data.
Here is my code ..
I need to write a small macro (I assume it is small) that will go through each cell on a worksheet and in each cell, go to the first blank on the right and delete that blank and everything beyond that point. I can write a macro that trims at a certain point, but I am not sure how to have the macro find a blank spot that changes in each cell.
So just to be clear, say the macro goes to A1 and finds a word and several null spaces beyond it, like "Barn is red." The macro would go and leave just "Barn" behind. If A2, it would find "Dogs are hairy." It would leave just "Dogs" behind. Can someone help me with something like that. It has to be a macro rather than an equation as we do not want formula's int he cells.
I have attached what my problem is. Have a look, and let me know what you think...have spent hours trying INDEX, MATCH, IF, ISTEXT...

I'm compiling several old worksheets into a single database for a research study. The worksheets contain patient data. Some of the worksheets have the patient's last name, first name, and middle initial entered all in one cell like this: Smith,John R. Compounding the problem is the fact that sometimes the name is entered with a space between the comma and the first name, sometimes not.
I have formulas to break the name out into three separate columns "lName, "fName", "midInit". However, if the name in the original cell has a space between the coma and the first name, then the “fname” column will contain a blank space in front of the name. This is problem because patients names can appear in the database more than once. Some patients are in the database several times.
If patient “John R. Smith”, for example, is entered in the database as”
“Smith” “John” “R “
and also as
“Smith” “<space>John” “R”
then the database won’t recognize them as the same name when I search for John Smith’s data. Right?
If so, then I need a way to eliminate the empty spaces in front of the first names. Like I said, some have empty spaces and some don’t. I could do this by hand, but there are over 1000 entries in these worksheets.

I need to insert cells, in columns B through H, equal to the number of returned IDs in column B.
Please take a look at the spreadsheet I attached.
Here is the code I am using to separate the IDs in column B so that I get one ID in each A cell. When I do this it separates them great, but then I have to manually go in and insert cells down so that the rest of the rows match up with the right ID.

While entering data space is given in the first and last of each cell content. For example
if there is a word Alex Patrix in a cell, space is given before A of alex and after x of Patrix. This is done fo many cells. I want to remove only initial and last space which is un-necessary.
The space caused problem to compare cell so i've to remove space.
I've around 2500 cells with this problem.

I'm aware of the TRIM function and know that I could at least get a column or a few copied with the spaces removed. However, it would just take so much time. What would be the most efficient way of getting rid of all the trailing spaces in all the cells in all the columns in all the worksheets?

View 12 Replies View RelatedInitially I'm simply copying a data table from a web page using "Ctrl + A" then "Ctrl + C", and then pasting the data straight onto a new worksheet so I can work with it. (After temporarily re-naming the old sheet)
But I keep finding what looks like double-spaces after some of the important text within the Range of cells I'm working with. I need to be able to select & conditional format the values of the text in some columns of the sheet, so need to loose these trailing spaces.
Unfortunately, it's not consistence as to how many spaces trail the text I need. Sometimes it's only one space, sometimes its two spaces ?
So far, I've had mixed success with a recorded "Replace" code but none of the other codes I have found on forum pages either don't work all or seem to give any consistent results. E;g; TRIM, CLEAN
I suspect my problem is, I do not know how to call the code properly, or trying to work with too large a range ?
The start of my code reads:
Code:
Sheets("Data").Select
Sheets("Data").Name = "Old Data"
Sheets.Add After:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)
Sheets(Sheets.Count).Select
ActiveSheet.Name = "Data"
[Code]...
' At the moment I'm using to select the pasted range I want to work on: Range(Range("C46"), Range("C46").SpecialCells(xlLastCell)).Select
This is where I need a code to work on the new Data sheet and remove all the trailing characters.
