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.
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.
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.....
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?
I've got a little application in excel using macros.
It worked perfectly with Excel 2000, but with Excel 2003 shows an error for every formula I've used in the macro -right, left, mid, date...

I need to add the SUBSTITUTE function to this but can't figure out where it goes if somebody could point me in the right direction please? My substitute formula is SUBSTITUTE(L5,"car","train").
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
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!
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)?
HTML Code: If Left(Range("H18"), 7) = A23C567 Or Left(Range("H18"), 7) = A65C321 Then ActiveSheet.Cells(6, 7).Value = "Business and Private Banking" End If
Im trying top use the above bit of code and it does not work when the criteria is Text , so if I simply change the above to =1234567 it works fine -- But I need it to be alpha numeric
I need to write some code that will write a sum formula and include all the cells to the left of the active cell, however this range is variable. I suspect it would be something like:
I am trying to SUM the total task done per date. The problem is, (for the sake of this problem) the DATE is in Column B and the Task Total is in Column A. I know that SUMIF is not possible because the SUM RANGE should be always on the right side of the CRITERIA.
My question is, is there other formula other than SUM IF to figure this out? or I have no choice but to Interchange the data in a matter that SUMIF function will run.
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
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.
See the attached example for an illustration of my problem. Essentially, I am trying to reference the first two numbers of an account number when using VLOOKUP. The function then references a table with account classifications based upon the first two numbers of each 10 digit account. This seems so basic, but is driving me up the wall!
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="".
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.
I have a cell and I only want to look at the word after the first 4 characters of every cell. I do not know the word size so right(...) didn't work for me, I just know the first 4 characters I do not need and the word follows.
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?
Obscure lines of info which I'm trying to break up into pieces. Being able to find from the right instead of left would be REALLY handy. See attached example with details and example!
I have a simple VLOOKUP that I can't manage to give the right answer. The contditions must be 'FALSE' as the the stock report database has so many similar numbers in it.
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.
