Limit Cell And Truncate The Extra

Apr 15, 2007

I would like to limit a text cell to 40 characters. If greater than 40 characters are entered, the rest is truncated. Can this be done without VBA?

I have limited it by going Data - Validation

This has done two things. 1. Gives an error box with Error Alert Turned on. 2. Allows greater than 40 characters to be entered if Error alert is turned off.

Truncate A Percentage

Jan 7, 2008

I'm trying to truncate (not round) a percentage, for example if 6.25% to 6.2%. I'm having issues figuring this out because the percentage already in the cell is a result of a formula (i.e. SUM=A1/B1.) Does anybody know a way to acheive this without having to sacrifice the formula already in the cell?

Locate 2nd Space From Right And Truncate

Jun 9, 2007

This formula finds the last space from the right and returns the values less the last space and whatever is to the right-
=TRIM(IF(LEFT(Y25,2)="~C",REPLACE(LEFT(Y25,FIND("`",SUBSTITUTE(Y25," ","`",LEN(Y25)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(Y25," ",""))))),1,FIND(" ",Y25),""),RIGHT(Y25,LEN(Y25)-FIND(" ",Y25))))

Results of a item of a whole size:
LAKAI KOSTON SLCT INDY SHOE BK

However- I forgot I had added a criteria to convert records that have a fractional value from decimal to a fractional value and an extra space shows up. I need to alter the above formula to handle this additional condition, returning the value w/ out the second space and the size 10 shown below.

Results of an item w/ a fractional size, ie. 10 1/2:

LAKAI KOSTON SLCT INDY SHOE BK 10

I have already created a VBA Script for other parts of this project, so I would like to add the script to the end rather than create a separate macro. If there is a formula that can do this I am willing to work with that as well.

Paste Values Incorrect - Some Numbers Truncate

Oct 15, 2013

I have a formula that takes various data from a worksheet and places it all into a single row (N2:AY2) using the “=” formula. I then copy this and paste values, then I copy it again to it can be pasted into another application. There is also some various hiding/unhiding that goes on.

Question is, when I paste values it will truncate some numbers. For example if I have $70, it will change it to $7. 11/10 turns into 11/1.

Columns("M:AZ").Select
Range("M2").Activate
Selection.EntireColumn.Hidden = False
Range("N2:AY2").Select

Make Text Flow Into Adjacent Cell Without Merging Cells Or Wrapping Text?

Jul 19, 2014

I have some text in a cell, which is longer than the width that I am going to make that cell. When I don't wrap the text, it cuts it off at the end of the cell.

Since each column represents a day in a calendar, it would be incorrect to merge the two cells, but I don't want the text hidden, since I need to print the final product.

It is non-numeric text, and i've pasted --> values to remove formula issues.

Text In Cell That Changes Other Cells

Feb 15, 2007

I want to be able to put some text in a cell. I would then like this text to be displayed in other cells on other sheets, but I want the text displayed to be dependant on what the text says in the first cell.

Therefore if I put Jumping in cell A1 on sheet 1 I would like it to display the same text in cell B6 on sheet 2, but when I change the text in A1 Sheet 1 it automatically changes the text in B6 Sheet 2.

Separate Text From One Cell Into Other Cells?

Feb 21, 2014

Is it possible to that the contents of a single cell and and place text of that cell into separate cells? From a web output I have some like the following in my first cell

asdfsdf|adkjoi|fdf234sd|fsf3ie43|||asdfjlkei393|dfjvie|d||adfjei|...goes on with 28 "|"

The text is in A1 and I would like it to take the first string of characters up to the | and place it into cell A2

Then take the next set of characters up to the next | and place into cell A3 and so on.

Once the cell in A1 has been completely separated, go down to the next row and do the same until it reaches the end of the data.

Normally I would create a text file with the web data and then import that in with "|" delimited fields but I don't want to create that extra step for the user.

Combine Text From Many Cells Into One Cell

Apr 15, 2009

Column A has the following values:

au:asd
au:qwe
au:zxc
etc

I want to combine the text from each cell into a text string so that each cell's text is separated by a comma, thus:

au:asd,au:qwe,au:zxc,etc

I can do this with a formula,
=a1&","&a2&","&a3
but this may exceed the 255 character limit when the text string needs to be transferred to a query.

Copy Text From One Cell To Multiple Other Cells

Feb 1, 2014

I have two separate data files that I am trying to combine into one worksheet. One set of data looks something like this:

Column A Column B ColumnC
Date1 Name1
Date1 Name2
Date1 Name3
Date2 Name1
Date2 Name2
Date2 Name3

This is repeated for something like 200 dates, and there could be anything from 1 to 10 lines for each date, for a total of over 1000 rows.

The other data file has this information:

Column A Column B ColumnC
Date1 Place1
Date2 Place2
Date3 Place3

I.e. one line for each date.

I want to combine the data so that Column C contains the Place data. All I could think to do was combine them and then sort by Column A, so I ended up with this:

Column A Column B ColumnC
Date1 Name1
Date1 Name2
Date1 Name3
Date1 Place1
Date2 Name1
Date2 Name2
Date2 Name3
Date2 Place2

And then I would just copy and paste to end up with this:

Column A Column B ColumnC
Date1 Name1 Place1
Date1 Name2 Place1
Date1 Name3 Place1
Date1 Place1
Date2 Name1 Place2
Date2 Name2 Place2
Date2 Name3 Place2
Date2 Place2

Ultimately I want to sort the combined data by Column C, I just have to get the data in there first.

Is there a formula or macro or something I could use to copy the Place names automatically? Each worksheet with 1000 lines and several dozen worksheets means I'd have to copy and paste dozens of thousands of times, which is a bit tedious.
