Using 'left' Function To Take Out Number Upto A Certain Character

Aug 11, 2009

Pretty sure this has been asked but have searched the forum to no avail, but I need to extract the numbers from a value which has a letter on the end.

eg. 1000x I need to get out the 1000
or 2p I need the 2

I have sooooo many values ranging in numbers of digits, so just basic left(A1,2) won't work, I'm sure I've seen a search or find function but don't know how to use them!

Sum Everything Upto The Current Row Number

Apr 5, 2009

So, I need to keep adding together all the numbers from cell row 0 upto and including the row number of the cell with the result. The column with the results is to the right of the column with numbers to add. So, if the numbers are positive, to the right of each should be an ever increasing number as a result. In the column with the numbers to add is a function which as a result gives either numbers or blank cells. It sounds simple but it is frustrating me. Why can't I use the function SUMIF with a ROW function inside the condition field? It always gives me 0 as the result. I use excel 2003.

I probably do't understand the SUMIF function but why isn't =SUMIF(A:A;"1>0") equivalent to =SUM(A:A). This too gives the result of 0. Why don't I get an error instead.

Multiply A Number By Percentages And Round So That They Add Upto The Total %

Mar 14, 2009

I want to multiply a number say, 1551 by 5%, 6%, 7%, 8% and 9% and round each result to 0 decimal places. Then the sum of these results (544)should be equal to 35% of 1551 rounded to 0 decimal places (543). How do I create an if function for rounding so that the sum equals 543.

Force LEFT Function To Recognize A Number?

Jul 29, 2009

Basically I have a phone number in column A:

123-456-1234

In column B, I want it to show me the first 3 numbers from the left, (so 123)

So I do =LEFT(A2,3)

Which gives me 123, but it's displayed as text, which ruins my whole formula that looks up the area code and displays the state.

I googled the problem and found http://exceltip.com/st/Make_LEFT_Fun...umber/778.html

which tells me to do:
=IF(LEFT(A1,1)=1,"Ignore",A1) [sees 1 as a number]
=IF(LEFT(A1,1)+0=1,"Ignore",A1) [sees 1 as a number]
=IF(LEFT(A1,1)="1","Ignore",A1) [sees 1 as text]

but when i try that it just displays the ENTIRE phone number: 123-456-1234

Function That Inputs A Certain Number Of A Specific Character

Mar 23, 2009

I need to make a list of Part Numbers in quotation marks. If a number of digits of a P/N is less than 13 a number of space characters has to be added to make the string 13 characters long.

We have example P/N:
1234567890123
12345678
123456

should become:
"1234567890123(no extra space characters should be filled-13chars)"
"12345678(5 extra space characters here)"
"123456(7 extra space characters)"

Is there a function that inputs a cerain number of a specific character ("space" in this example)?

Trim Left And Minus A Character

Jun 29, 2007

Sub TrimSlashesToRight()
Dim cell As Range
For Each cell In Range("AN2:AN2000")
cell = Left(cell, InStr(cell, "//") -1)
Next
End Sub

I cannot get it to run this, it always crashes on

cell = Left(cell, InStr(cell, "//") -1)

It will work fine like:

cell = Left(cell, InStr(cell, "//") + 0)

but then it leaves the first / in place, i want it to start deleteing before both //.

Get List Box Value To The Left Of Character And Paste It Into Cell

May 17, 2013

I've created a user form that has a list box populated with a fairly standardized format - a product ID or model number followed by a dash ( - ) then followed by a description. Based on the users selection of an item in the listbox, certain rows will be copied over from another tab in the excel file.

An error occurs when a Model Number list box item is selected but not when a product ID is selected.

The difference between the two are AlphaNumeric vs only numeric.

USBLT15CMB - Product Description 1
1121 - Product Description 2

the code is:

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim ID As Long
Dim Row As Long
Dim Cnt As Long

[Code]...

The macro stops on the ID = line

Number Format To Display 20 Character Long Number?

Jul 9, 2014

I received a request from a coworker regarding custom formatting some numbers in his spreadsheet. Those numbers are serial numbers of 20 characters long. Sometimes in my files I use this custom number formatting ###0 and its enough for the data I handle. But when I tried to use it in his spreadsheet, the following shows:

8456891070060510000

The cell must look like this: 08456891070060510302

The reason to have it like this is due to a Delivery Program requirement to deliver Set-top Units for repair. The Delivery Program do not recognize other format than the above. My coworker takes the data from a spreadsheet, and the spreadsheet needs a custom number format to display the correct number.

find a custom number format to be able to display as my coworker need it??

VBA Left Function

Feb 9, 2010

I am trying to use the left function to include only the first account number, for example if a cell has "120122 280000" (there may be many spaces between the two numbers), I only want 120122.
So far my programming only returns the 280000 into the cell.

I am working with cell values in column "K".

Adding A Formula Upto The Last Row Of Data

May 13, 2009

Every day i have to pull of a text document from a server and import it into excel so i can change the format of certain columns. Then import the data into a database. I am trying to create a macro that will enable me to make these changes instantly without having to spend minutes on them.

There is once column that has the format 2009-03-12-10:02:09 which indicates date and time however there is a - inbetween them. I know that i can use =DateValue(left(a1,10))+ Time alue(right(a1,8)) and then format the cells to date and time to remove the -. My issue is that i only want to use the formula upto the last row of data otherwise i end up importing blank rows into my database.

How To Get A Formula To Calculate Upto 2 Digits Only

Nov 7, 2011

When we give formulas say for eg

cell A5/Cel d4*30/365

we format for two digits so i get in my spread sheet cell as

60423.28

but it is actually

60423.28302

so over a period of time my figures posted in accounts dont match to excel spreadsheet.

How can i get the excel spreadsheet to not only show two digits but calculate to two digits as well So say if my calculation result is

60423.276 it should not only show 60423.28 but also be that way and not 60423.276

i.e.

JANTR = JAN
JANT/R = JAN
JANTXT/R = JANTX
PN

Desired result

VLOOKUP W/ LEFT Function

Dec 7, 2009

Function sequence giving me "N/A": =VLOOKUP(LEFT(C6,5),H:I,2,FALSE)

Basically, I have numbers that each start with a unique sequence. The first 5 numbers of that sequence represent a certain cell carrier.

What I want to do is have the function look up the first 5 characters of a cell and depending on the 5 characters, I want it to return a certain value.

My idea with the vlookup was to have the lookup value be the first 5 digits and then in my table, it would take only those 5 digits and return a value I have specified in the second column.

SUMIFS Formula With LEFT Function

Jan 16, 2009

have this formula..

=SUMIFS(Sheet2!$D$2847:$D$3065;Sheet2!$I$2847:$I$3065;$B$6;Sheet2!$G$2847:$G$3065;$C$6;Sheet2!$B$2847:$B$3065;A14)

D2847 - D3065

includes Numbers..

lets say.. i want every cell counted which has in these range the first two numbers..

every cell has..

5052
5053
5054
4060
4050

so i count the entries which has 50.. so in total it gives a result of 3. Not summing them, just count the entries that has the first two numbers "50" in every row..

The Red Markings can be replaced, the rest should stay.. it is needed due different criteria.....

Reformat Value Of A Cell After Left()function

Oct 12, 2006

I have a spreadsheet where I extract the last 3 digits of a five digit string by using the "=Right(...)" command.

Column A 71500
Column B =right(column a,3)
Column C 500
Column D = lookup(Column C,toc_desc)
Column E #N/A (if it worked, this would read Labor)

I want to take the result of that command (Column C) and use the "Lookup(...) command to translate type of cost as a name rather than the three digit number (Column D). Excel doesn't recognize the result of the "=Right(...)" command. I am getting #N/A as a result. (Column E). How can I get Excel to read that number and give me the results I need?

VBA To Give Static Output Of LEFT Function

Jul 10, 2009

What I would like to do is output the first 4 characters of a cell into another cell. eg Cell A1 has "1234 Sydney". If I just use the manual formula "=left(A1,4)" it would give me the correct output "1234" in say cell B2, but as a formula. As I need to automate this in a macro, how could you code this in VBA to output the String "1234" into cell B2(ie the actual output rather than a formula)?
