Using LEN And LEFT Together

Jul 19, 2007

How can I use Len and Left together to ensure a workbook name begins with Order?

I've tried using Left("Order", 5) and didn't work.

Len(Activeworkbook.Name, 5) didn't work either.

Excel 2010 :: Shifting Cells Left And Then Up If Left Cell Is Blank?

May 8, 2014

I have a 2010 excel sheet containing 14 columns and 45082 rows in total. I am quite illiterate when it comes to writing macros but I know that what I need can be achieved with a set of codes.

To be more clear, I inserted two tables below. The first one represents the current data structure, and the second one is the way I want my data to look like.

Current data structure looks like
Variable 1
Variable 2
Variable 3

Autofill Formula To The Left (fill To The Left)

Feb 5, 2009

I am having trouble filling a formulae series to the left on one spreadsheet, the fomulae being references to another sheet.

For example, I have two sheets 'Mtce Options' and 'Base Case'. In 'Mtce Options' I have the following formulae

A B C
1='Base Case'!A15='Base Case'!D15='Base Case'!G15

I want to fill to the left, incrementing the column references by a factor of 2 each time, eg. next two should be ='Base Case'!J15 and ='Base Case'!M15.

However, if I autofill to the left by highlighting A1, B1 and C1 or just B1 and C1 all I get is an inappropriate reference such as ='Base Case'!D15 or ='Base Case'!F15, respectively, in D15.

How To Validate If Left Cell Value And Left Cell Above Value Are Not Same

Sep 16, 2013

I have a column that is giving unwanted value . dont know the reason as that excel file has been created by some other guy and I just started working on it .

My Question is how to move to 2 cells left(A for example) from from that unwanted value column. and check if
A is equal to cell above it , means B Cell(Row above A but same column).

As my excel file is totally based on Forms, Macros, I am not quite familiar with macros.

Is there any way to put if condition in one cell (column) and drag it all the way down which should work for all the values in these 3 column.

And also if A=B then I want to make that unwanted value cell="".

Left-right-or ?

Jan 14, 2010

I have a set of data in an Excel 2007 spreadsheet and want to move it to Sheet2. I move all that I need except for one column which needs some work done to it and I keep receiving errors. Sheet1 Column 12 is comprised of six digits, space, six digits, space, and four more digits. What I need is the first twelve (12) digits, less the space, moved to column1 on Sheet2.

The code I am attaching does the following:
The year 2009 to Sheet2 Column2
Column6 + Column7 to Sheet2 Column3
Column8 + Column9 to Sheet2 Column4
Column6 + Column7 + Column8 + Column9 to Sheet2 Column5.

Right, Left And Len

Jul 4, 2008

I have a table with a range of numbers inputted as text (ie. 200-400, 300-500, 65-90, etc.) that I am extracting. I made a formula that works for pulling out numbers if they are in the triple digit range but don't want to rejig if they go down to double-digits, or up to quad. (too tedious to change the right and left count function midway if data suddenly changes)
The values that I am extracting are separated by -'s and when i use the formula below i end up with negative numbers if one of the pairs is less than 3 digits (ie. 2)

=VALUE(RIGHT('NAIC Spread 2007'!D11,3))

how can i work in a Len function to deal with this issue?

LEN,LEFT, And Concatenation

Apr 6, 2009

i have this issue, i named column J. now it says instead of using Social Security numbers as a unique identifier, they are considering using an ID of the first 3 letters of the last name (L Name) followed by the first letter of the first name (F Name). If the last name is fewer than 3 characters, the letter Z replaces each missing character.

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".

Vlookup Looking Left

Jul 10, 2007

What I need is to find a max value within a range and then tell me what the row value in Column A is. Usually use VLOOKUP for this but this doesn't like minus numbers.

I think it has something to do with Match and Offset but can't get it to work properly.

I have attached an example, where the max of the total is 4,435 and belongs to Steve but how do I get this to do using formulas

(Right) Function Cut And Move To The (Left)

Aug 1, 2014

I need to move characters from the end of a string to the beginning.

I have a list of Exact stings that are allowed. I need to move this allowed string to the beginning.

JAN
JANS
JANTX
JANTXV

If "TR" or "T/R" are at the end of the allowed Exact string, I need that removed completely.

i.e.

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

Desired result

1N3595UR-1JANTX = JANTX1N3595UR-1
1N4992JAN = JAN1N4992
2N1711JANS = JANS2N1711
1N4148UR-1JANTXVTR = JANTXV1N4148UR-1

Insert A Zero On The Left Of A String?

Jan 22, 2014

this formula as a result =IF(LEFT(A3,1)="0",RIGHT(A3,LEN(A3)-1),A3) It worked great to strip the left most zero from a string of text numbers in the cells where the formula was applied.

However, now I need to put the zero back in lol!

So...how would I adjust the formula (or write a different one) to insert a zero as the first digit of a string of text digits?

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.

Align Left And Right In Same Cell

Jul 25, 2014

I need a single cell to contain two elements, one left aligned and the other right aligned.

Result would look something like this, LeftText aligned to the left side of the cell and RightText aligned to right side of the same cell.

LeftText {all of the white space here between two text values} RightText

Merging columns is not an option; both values must be in same cell. Both text values vary in length with each run of the code.

All I can do as of now is plug in a bunch of spaces that will approximate the open space between the two values.
