I have two adjacent strings in a CSV file that I'm importing which were originally intended as a single piece of data. The format of the strings are:
5'-3 3/4" (Yes, it's a good old imperial length measurement)
Right now, I have (5'-3) in one cell, and (3/4") in the next.
I'd like to try to append the second string (3/4") to the first in a single cell. Is there any way for me to do that using VBA?
I need to do a vlookup that takes a string from one cell and then tries to find that string (embedded in a larger string) in the table array
Essentially I imagine this involves the FIND function at some point.
Attached is an incredibly simplified example of what I'm looking for.
I have an excel worksheet with about 10K rows of data in column A.
I have also another list of data, about 200 rows of data, in column G.
I need to color each cell in column A that contains, anywere in the string, any of the data strings in column G.
Example:
in column A
row 1: info@duende.com
row 2: rasko@silvester.com
row 3: supportonline@fabius.com
row 4: myhelp@friday.com
in column G:
row 1: help
row 2: info
row 3: support
I need rows 1, 3 and 4 in column A to be colored.
how would you do the following in excel 2007:
"SUM numbers within a cell based on unique strings in another cell".
For example, how would i use formula to SUM the following numbers (and only the numbers for david and sam only once), 700+454+50+40+2+129+16
700david
700 david
454john
50buch
40daniel

I'm just trying to view the results of this search, I don't need it to make changes to the cells on the bases of this search.
I'm using control + F to open the search box.
It only allows me to type in one single string, such as "Johnson". Problem is, it finds many rows that contain the name Johnson.
So I'd like to further add a number, such as 1.3338, which it can look for in any cell that's on the same ROW where it found Johnson.
It would then return, for example, Row number 81, which has a cell that contains Johnson and another cell that contains 1.3338.
i have in a cell a Text like this..
Chicago (TZGUG)
i tried a formula.. like this..
=LEFT(F3;LEN(F3)-1
to remove only ) ..
but how can i remove the ( too ..
and also Chicago
so the result in a cell would be TZGUG
I am attempting to count up the sum of names that will be submitted, through a web form, in a single cell.
Example:
Cell B1 will have a bunch of names submitted to it. let's say 10: Marino, Elway, Namath, Montana, Manning, Brady, Romo, Bradshaw, Favre, Aikman. (these text strings will be all in one single cell)
I will have a list of names that are correct to compare to: Montana, Brady, Bradshaw, Manning. I can put those in its own cell to compare to. (C1)
How do i get the sum of 4 from B1 cell? If B1 only has 3 of the 10, how would it return the sum of 3?
Example:
A1 B1 (Submitted cell) C1 (List to compare to "right answers") D1 (sum from B1 compared to C1)
user 1 Marino, Elway, Namath, Montana, Manning, Brady, Romo, Bradshaw, Favre, Aikman Montana, Brady, Bradshaw, Manning 4
user 2 Marino, Elway, Namath, Montana, Manning, Brady, Favre, Aikman 3
This is I am sure a very newbie question, but I couldn't find anything on multiple text strings within one cell, and counting a sum of those.
String Multiples for 3 different criteria in same cell -- "if", "or" "abs" --- not sure if any of these are correct
1) Criteria 1 and 2: In cell "E" I am wanting to minus "B from C", if "A" is greater than or equal to and less than "=>1000 or <15000"
2) and the other criteria would be if "A" is greater than or equal to ">=15000" then minus "b from d" -- answer would also be in the same cell "e".
I hope I am saying my needs correctly. Basically, I have 3 different sales criteria with 3 different bonus offers. One offer is for sales less than 10,000, another offer is for the range 10,000 to 14,999 and the last is for the range 15,000 or more. I am actually linking the values from different worksheets, however I have used generically "A, B, C, D and E".
below are the 3 separate formulas that do work on specific individual rows. However, I really need the criteria for all three variables in the same cell. Right now I am just copy/paste the appropriate formula that fits the specific value in each row.
=IF(summary!$E8>15000,SUM(F3-summary!D2),0)
=IF($E4<15000,ABS(F4-summary!D3),IF($E4>=10000,0,(F4-summary!D3)))
=IF($E14<15000,ABS(F14-summary!D13),IF($E14>=10000,0,(F14-summary!D14)))
I'm using Excel 2003 and I have a small problem using text functions. My problem is that in column 'A' I have a name and their year next to it between brackets, like so: Wright Jeffrey (1PBSO)
Now what I have to do, is make two new columns where I extract the surname (Wright) to one columns and the first name in another column (Jeffrey), the "(1PBSO)" doesn't have to go anywhere. Now I wouldn't have a problem with this normally but in the list I have names like 'Van Tongerloo Johan' where VAN TONGERLOO is the surname and JOHAN is the first name. For the first name (Wright Jeffrey (1PBSO)) I just used the LEFT function and then searched for the first space in the string but that doesn't work in the second example anymore.
Hi guys, I am looking for a macro to do the following:
Go down a column and identify all accounts that are identical, then add up the values that are 5 columns to the right of each account and paste them on another sheet along with the account code (there are 12 values for each account to be added with the other identical accounts).
I've attached a spreadsheet, because I understnad this might be kind of confusing. In essence:
1. Go down column C
2. Look for accounts that are identical
3. Add up the values for each account in columns G:R
4. Copy and paste the added values to another sheet along with columns C:F for each account to identify it.
i have data in column A and i want extract to column B only the date from this data. Date start on diferent position.
ex:
col. A
1 text text 10.10.1998 text
2 text10.12.2001
3 10.12.2004
4 10.12.2005 text text
i want this result
col. B
1 10.10.1998
2 10.12.2001
3 10.12.2004
4 10.12.2005
i try solution from other thread, but it doesnt works for me.
I have a single column with multiple rows of data that contains multiple sports words (e.g.: football, basketball, track, hockey, swimming, skeet), and I want to find all cells that contain football, basketball and track. I also want to ignore case.
In this example only 3 rows would be found (3, 4, 8).
Sports Terms
------------
1. football, swimming, skeet
2. football, basketball, skeet
3. football, basketball, track, skeet
4. football, basketball, track, swimming, skeet
5. basketball, track, hockey, swimming
6. football, hockey, swimming, skeet
7. hockey, swimming, skeet
8. football, basketball, track, swimming
9. track, hockey, swimming, skeet
10. football, track, hockey, swimming, skeet
Here are 3 examples I found, but I do not even know where to insert them -pressing Cltrl+Shift+Enter does not do anything.
=IFERROR(IF(or(SEARCH("foottball",E2)>0,SEARCH("basketball",E2)>0,SEARCH("track",E2)>0)),"Yes",""),""),
=IF(COUNT(SEARCH(KeywordTable,E2)),"match","no match")
=SEARCH((A1:A10=”football”))+SEARCH((A1:A10=”basketball”))+SEARCH((A1:A10=”track”))

I am trying to search a cell for multiple different strings and if the string is found, multiply a nearby cell by a factor of 1.5. if the strings are not found i want the original cell value to be used. I have tried using find functions but they do not seem to work. I have also tried using nested if functions with no luck..
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have some 100k+ cells with values as "ID_code - Value_1 - Value_2 - Value_3". Lets say this is sequence A.
"ID_code" is a fixed 6 digit value. "Name_1", "Name_2" and "Name_3" are variables and they also vary in length, but they never contain a sign "-". Sign "-" is only used as separator between these four values.
Now, VBA code that would rearrange all the values in a selected column from the one as listed above to a different sequence B, for instant:
Value_2 - Value_1 - ID_code - Value_3
In coloumn A have either Yes or No down to line 1000, In coloumn B I have email addresses down to line 1000. What I want to achieve is in cell C1 have all the email addresses concatenated together that have a Yes value in column A next to it.
I have a bunch of data in column A like this:
BBX3838
BBX3838
BBX3838

I have a SS with 700 rows. 2 columns (Col K and L) may or may not contain text in their cells. If the cells do have text, I want to check for the presence of keywords which could be anywhere within the text, and if I find match write the matching word in Column I. Example: I want to seach for the following strings Loaned, injured, suspended etc ... in the range the K4-K700. Lets say Cell K50 contains the text Injured - broken bones. As the word injured is a match I want to write the word injured to cell I50 In addition if Cell K50 has text and Cell L50 does not, i want to put the text "NEW" in I50, and the reverse if Cell L50 has text and Cell K50 does not i want to put the text "recovered" in I 50. Following formula (in each cell in Col I) does this job currently. Can't figure out how to redo this in VBA, and wondering if checking the 700 rows will cause Vba to be slower.
=IF(OR(TEXT(LEFT(OFFSET(I22,0,2,1,1),6),"DDDDDD")="Loaned",TEXT(LEFT(OFFSET(I22,0,2,1,1),6),"DDDDDD")="Transf"),
"Loaned",
IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("susp",OFFSET(I22,0,2,1,1))),
"Suspended",
IF(AND(ISBLANK(OFFSET(I22,0,2,1,1)),ISBLANK(OFFSET(I22,0,3,1,1))),
"",
IF(ISTEXT(OFFSET(I22,0,2,1,1))=ISTEXT(OFFSET(I22,0,3,1,1)),
"Ongoing",
IF(ISTEXT(OFFSET(I22,0,2,1,1))=TRUE,
IF(ISTEXT(OFFSET(I22,0,3,1,1))=FALSE,
"New"),

I have been using the CONCATENATE function to merge 2 strings together into a single cell. However the problem is, the third concatenated cell depends on the other 2 existing. The idea is I want to take 2 columns of data, and use a formula to merge them, then delete the original 2 data columns so I have a single column with the full data merged.
COL 1 (A3) = First Name
COL 2 (B3) = Last Name
COL 3 (C3) = Full Name (wanted)
So I do =CONCATENATE(A3,B3) and that puts the fullname in C3, but I want to sort of "flatten" C3 so that I have the fullname by itself and I can delete the original cells (A, and B)
I am trying to copy partial data from Column A into Columns B and C, then I want to delete Column A without affecting the results in Column B and C. Column A consists of a stock number in the format "1234-56-789-0000" (including the dashes) and is formatted as TEXT.
I'd like to paste the "1234" from Column A into Column B and the "56-789-0000" from Column A into Column C AND remove the dashes (-). I need to do this for the range (or number of rows) that is populated in Column A. This could be as many as 50,000+ rows of data. After this is done, I want to delete Column A. I tried using the LEFT and RIGHT formulas, but they are dependent on keeping Column A intact.
........... A .................. B .............. C ......
1234-56-789-0000 ..... 1234 ..... 567890000
and then eventually like this:
. A ............. B ......
1234 .... 567890000
On occasion, leading zeros in Column C have disappeared, and it's necessary it stay in a 9-digit format. There are 2 additional columns of data, but they shouldn't be affected by the above.
I have been trying to use the concatenate function to join some text strings to a cell on a different sheet - From an input sheet -Sheet 1 named Input, to a Notification Form (Sheet 2). Although the Function Argument display tells me that it will display the result I want it actually displays just the formula. It's a very simple thing
Address 1 10 Downing Street
Address 2 Westminster
Address 3 London
Postcode SW1A 1AA
I want displayed as: 10 Downing Street, Westminster, London, SW1A 1AA in a single merged cell. All I am getting on the Form is =concatenate(Input!c25," ",Input!c26," "Input!c27," "Input!c28). I feel sure that it is a very easy solution but I can't arrive at it!!
I have a spreadsheet that has relatively clean data, but at the end of every row is a long notes fields (often filled with several paragraphs of text). I'm trying to search inside each one of those notes to see if it contains certain boilerplate language / legalese / key words.
If I was just looking for one word, it would be easy -- I would write =IFERROR(IF(SEARCH("keyword",E2)>0,"Yes",""),""). That way, if the keyword is present, it returns "Yes", and if it's not present, it returns a blank.
What I want to do, though, if look for a long list of keywords simultaneously, and if ANY of those keywords are present, have it return a "Yes".
So I could do something like =IFERROR(IF(or(SEARCH("keyword1",E2)>0,SEARCH("keyword2",E2)>0,SEARCH("keyword3",E2)>0,SEARCH("keyword4",E2)>0)),"Yes",""),""), but that seems horribly inefficient. Especially since my list of keywords is likely to change over time.
So what I want it to do is search each cell by simultaneous reference to an ever-changing table of keywords (call it [KeywordTable]). And I can't figure out how to do that. The search function is resisting all of my efforts to put multiple search values / a range of words inside of it.
To reiterate: the goal is to look at one cell filled with text, ask "does the text in that cell contain any of the keywords contained in [KeywordTable]", and if the answer is "Yes" return yes, and if the answer is no return no (or blanks).
I have been trying to format the rows on this sheet to color scale red based on the number of repeat text strings in Column E. Referring to the attached example sheet, '321/312.2/321.3' appears the most times and the goal is to color code the rows it appears in the deepest shade of red, then the next highest occurring string would shade the rows it appears in a lighter shade, etc, in descending order. Our team currently does this across multiple sheets manually everyday and it would be a real time saver if we could get excel to do this automatically.

I am working on a spreadsheet for work, and have managed to do everything I need to so far but I need to colour specific letter strings, certain colours within a range of cells (each letter string will only appear once on each sheet)
The strings I will be looking for vary depending on data entered so I will need to cell reference them
The strings that need colouring are in cells with other strings that must stay black (They cannot be separated from other strings due to the nature of the grid)
I need some strings red, some green, and some blue.
These changes should also apply to the whole workbook not just one sheet.
Is there a way to do this with the VBA code.
how to Chk the text string in particular cell, compare it with a super set column and get the full from of the text string from another corresponsing column and the output will be corresponsing full form of the chked text string?

Each Cell in Column A has a different long text string.
I need to see which (if any) of 10 specific small text strings exist within each long text string. Depending on which small text string is found I want to return a 3 digit code. If no small text string is found I want to return "Not Found"
E.g.:
- Cell A2 contains "randomtext,randomtext,APPLE,randomntext"
- I want to see if Cell A2 contains any of the words APPLE, ORANGE, CARROT.
- I want to return "APP", "ORG", "CAR" or "Not Found"
Q: What is the most elegant way to accomplish this within a single formula that I could paste into each cell in Column B?
I have two string that I want too compare.
String 1 could be something like channel_0_user_defined._system
string 2 could be channel_0_user_defined
I want too compare string2 with string 1 at the left side of string 1.
I don't really know what I should use I found startswith, but vba doesn't have this particular function.
For example: I want to sort through a a bunch of textboxes and refer them to certain cells. I know I can have a string "TextBox" and then the looping number "nbr" and merge them into for instance TextBox1. But I can't figure out how to use this as a command. Like
