Using A Formula To Truncate Text?
Oct 14, 2011
I have many different numbers that are sperated by dashes
example
Q1456480-2-BLK---L
Q1456480-2-BLK---M
Q1456480-2-BLK---XL
Q1456470-7-MRNR---L
Q1456470-7-MRNR---M
Q1456470-7-MRNR---S
Q1456470-7-MRNR---XL
I want to take off the end the ---L, ---M, etc but don't know if there is something that will do that like a right formula but not.
And then I want to isolate the color which is 3 or 4 characters before the --- Last I want the style number which varies in length and goes to the - before the color.

I have 12000 rows in cell a1 with more than 30 characters in them. I would like a formula to go up to 30 characters from the left, then go back to the first empty space, put that info in B2, the rest I would like to put into c2.
A1
This is a test to show what who to do this.
So I need
B2
This is a test to show what
C2

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?

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 Column A with file paths from the same main directory.
C:UsersSJohn.AJAXDesktopTimeBills.docx

C:UsersSJohn.AJAXDesktopTimeDChargers raps.docx
C:UsersSJohn.AJAXDesktopTimeDChargersDodgersstadium.docx

I would like to find the last common folder along the entire Column (Time),
remove all to the left, and insert E: in its place. Getting:
E:TimeBills.docx

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.

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.

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
[Code] ...........

I have two ranges of numbers stored as text on two different sheets.
The first one is from product code and the second is from product category.
The problem is both ranges are of different lengths and I have to find out if a product from the right is part of a particular product category. Even if the length is different the first digits are indicative of the belonging of a code. For example 1234 and 12345 are family-their first 4 digits match.
Just to give you an example of what is desired:
Category____ Code
2200 ________22002
2323________ 232347
So, the loop should do the following:Compare the first string from the Category column to each and every entry on the right, if a match exists (we have no match here for 2200) write ok next to it.
Next trim one digit from the right from every string in the Code column.
Compare same first string from the Category column to each trimmed string from Code column (here we should have a match 2200=2200)
Write ok next to it
Now the loop goes to the second string from Category column and for this one we will have to trim 2 digits from the right of each string in Code column to achieve the result (2323=2323) and so on.

I am trying to find a formula that will count the number of unique entries there. I have tried the solutions posted on various websites to no avail (most recently:
Code:
=SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(MATCH(A1:A10,A1:A10,0),MATCH(A1:A10,A1:A10,0))>0,1))
).
The answer should be 4,457.

I have an existing Cash Flow Report that has a column of abbreviated/shortened (WBS Element) title where each cell contains a unique three lettered/numbered amount of characters (Example: 200). These three abbreviated character cells are specific and relate to their full/longer (SAP WBS Element) title (Example: WBS DWRRI-BW066-200).
In my attached excel model (Find, Locate, and Align WBS Elements to Cash Flow Report.xlsx), I need a formula for the, "Cash Flow Report WBS Elements" sheet in cells B3 thru B11 that will look at the abbreviated three lettered/numbered (WBS Element) titles in cells C3 thru C11, then search and recognize its unique counterpart contained in the, "SAP WBS Elements Export" sheet and return this full/longer (SAP WBS Element) title to the, "Cash Flow Report WBS Elements" sheet in cells B3 thru. B11, just to the left of its abbreviated/shortened (WBS Element) title.

I am working on sales information which includes postcodes. What i need to do is seperate the first or first two text characters from the rest of the postcode. I have attached a small snipet of what i am working on. Currently i am using the =Left(A4,2) but this will give me in some case a numerical value aswell. For example E1 or G1 in the case of the sample attached. Is there a formula that exists where it will just return the text values in a cell and not numerical values.

I have a worksheet with several columns. I need a formula to search column D only and each time a specific location is identified to replace that location with alternate text. Example (ORIGNAL TEXT):
Column Dtext to text help.xlsx
BIRD
FISH
DOG
BAT
BUG
I need to search that listing and each time the word BIRD is mentioned have it replaced with FEATHERS and each time DOG is listed have it replaced with TAILS Final result would look like:
FEATHERS
FISH
TAILS
BAT
BUG
All other text should stay the same and replacement text should appear in the cell of the text it is replacing. This is a sheet used by multiple people several times a day and so the Find/Replace option really won't work.
Have working on this for at least 6 months and it just isn't going to happen for me. I thought I could use a Conditional format, but that is producing no results either.

I have a situation where I have to curve fit data, this can lead to different formulas being used with varying constants.
Is it possible to pickup a TEXT based formula and related constants from other cells, and then place this into another cell as a functioning formula. For Example
Cell A1 contains the formula as a text string whether it be y=a+bx+cx^2, or y=a+b/x, etc
Cells A2:A6 contain the individual constants, a, b, c, etc
I would then want the VBA to read the text based formula and put it into an output cell as a functioning excel formulae.g
In cell B10: =a+b*A10+c*A10^2
I understand picking the constants up and putting the formula should not be too much of an issue, however trying to insert the variable form of the curve fit is the part that I am struggling with, and am unsure if possible.

I would like to copy a formula in a cell and then paste only the text of the formula, but I can't figure it out. Basically, I would like to avoid going into the cells and absolute referencing or hitting F2, then copying the text.
When I hit "Ctrl C" to copy the cell, then hit "Alt/E/S/F/Enter" to paste the formula, it is just like a regular copy/paste formula-wise in that the references move.

This is going to be hard to explain but, ill give it a try
I have a list of formula written in text in columnB
(-0.0045*x^3+0.2696*x^2-6.0587*x+100)/100
(-0.0045*(x*1.3)^3+0.2696*(x*1.3)^2-6.0587*(x*1.3)+100)/100
(-0.0045*(x*1.5)^3+0.2696*(x*1.5)^2-6.0587*(x*1.5)+100)/100
(-0.0045*(x*0.8)^3+0.2696*(x*0.8)^2-6.0587*(x*0.8)+100)/100
(-0.0045*(x*1.3)^3+0.2696*(x*1.3)^2-6.0587*(x*1.3)+100)/100
(-0.0045*(x*1.5)^3+0.2696*(x*1.5)^2-6.0587*(x*1.5)+100)/100
each formula correspond to a type of road in columnA
Rural Local
Rural Collector
Rural Arterial
Urban Local
Urban Collector
Urban Arterial
I would like to create a formula that will choose the right formula and substitute the variable "x" by a specific cell (lets put $Z$1) to finally give me the final answer in column C.

I am using =INDEX(7:7,MATCH(9.99999999999999E+307,7:7)) to return the current price of a product. I would like to be able to have the formula return either a text value (discontinued) or the current price, ie column G contains the current price and if it is a discontinued item I could just type in "dis" instead of the price when updating the sheet.

I am currently in the making of a new financial plan template and I am having a problem arranging all of the rows in an orderly manner. I was wondering if i could have a sentence and at the end of the sentence a number figure. I cannot use a cell to the right because that way there is a gap and it looks pretty bad.

I'm trying to create a formula for text to columns if a SKU is put into a box.
Ex) I put code 5495307H7G-**--A into cell A1. I need to split it after specific positions, so it breaks into nine individual codes (9 cells) in the adjacent boxes.
549 53 07 H 7 G- ** -- A
I've seen formulas for searching for spaces and splitting, but is there a way to split one long code at specific points?

So let's say the following text is in cell A1:
Scott Feldman (hou) - throws R vs. ari - 8:10 PM ET - Minute Maid Park RotoGuru ESPN MLB Yahoo BB-Ref FanGraphs
What formula would I need in cell B1 to return "Minute Maid Park" But if possible don't return anything after that text starting with the word RotoGuru?
Best way it looks like is to find the 3rd " - " and take whats to the right of that?
