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)?
View 2 RepliesCan a Function give two or more output variables. e.g.
Sub a()
x = 5
result = Y(x)
End Sub
Function Y (x As Integer) As Integer
Dim B
B = ... * x
Y = ... * B
this will give back Y as a result. But if I want to get 2 or more output variables (let's say I need to get also B into sub) from one function, how should I do that?
I need this because function works with large matrix and I want to extract some values appeared in between.
I know that I an probably asking for too much but I must get the formula some way. OK, I need a formula for this:
lets say I have 3 columns (A,B,C (search criteria). In each Column there is a DIFFERENT number. There is 3 more columns (D,E,F (used to compare).Each column has 3 Different numbers. If 3 numbers match between the two sets of 3 numbers I want Column G to display "CCC". IF 2 numbers match I want G to display "CCH". If 1 number is a match I want G to display "HHC". If none of the numbers match I want G to display "HHH".
I can manually do these but it will take waaaay toooooooooo much time to do. If you can do this for me it would be a great help indeed because I'm trying to do other states. With this formula I can use Automate to do a large quantity of numbers.
I am trying to put together an IF statement within excel which will give me certain output depending on the particular value within ONE cell.
For example:
If cell L5 has a value between 0 and 1.00 output value 0
If cell L5 has a value between 1.01 and 2.00 output value 20
If cell L5 has a value between 2.01 and 3.00 output value 40
If cell L5 has a value between 3.01 and 4.00 output value 60
If cell L5 has a value between 4.01 and 5.00 output value 80
If cell L5 has a value between 5.01 and 6.00 output value 100
I have found threads that explain that if you want a to use the now() or today() function but make it static, you have to put a code in the worksheet relating to it.
I have read quiet a few threads, but i can't seem to make my code work.
I need to format column A to have the date format in it. I have a event procedure that puts Now() when run in Column A and I think i need to add the following code to the worksheet to make it static.
I have a problem with the today Function. It appears that it changes each day. But that isn't what I want! I'd like to have a funtion that puts the current Date in a field when Data is being added in the Row and then having this date static the next day. Here is what I had so far but I have no clue to make the date static:
=IF(C10>0;TODAY();IF(D10>0;TODAY();" "))
in this case it checks for information in field C10 and D10 and if there is information it will add a Date like 2006-03-22. But new day the field will change to 2006-03-23 and that is not what i want. I want it to stay the same when data is put in and the date is being presented.
I have two workbook, test1 (master file) and the other one is test_10_05_2014 with 100 some of them being updated daily. The last portion of the file "test_10_05_2014" is the date and we have different file on daily basis.
using Indirect function in vlookup should give corresponding value for the particular name. Formula used is giving error,
[VLOOKUP(A2,Indirect(" ' "&E1&" ' !$A$2:$X$1000),6,FALSE)]
I want the A4 cell contains the calculation of B4 (but the number gained from the funtion row and if the B1 cell contains the number 10 the K(B1)=K10
[A4]=B(row())*K(B1)
I am using this formula to output data into a cell:
=MID(A1,4,2)
The cell value is 50. I am wanting it to appear as 5.0 instead. Can I do this by adding to the formula above or will I need to utilize another cell to accomplish this?
I am having trouble using the MATCH function in my code. I am looking for a match in one worksheet from a cell in another. I have defined these cells and ranges as variables. However, it doesn't seem to be working with my application. I would like to find the row of the matching cell and use the output of the MATCH function to determine the next step in my code with an IF function. Here is my code. (NOTE: this is my edited code, I removed irrelevant pieces. The major problem is the MATCH function.)
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am having some trouble with the "mid()" function. I have it saved as a variable which pulls 6 digits from another variable. I was trying to paste from the mid variable into my excel worksheet but it keeps on telling me that there is an object required error.
The goal is to input the "mid()" output in my code into a cell in the spreadsheet.
Here is some sample
is there a formula that would have as it's output the cell address of the
same cell where the formula has been entered.
e.g. In cell A10 I input a formula whose output is the cell reference A10.
I've in cell A1 an entry like this: 123*456*7890
=SUBSTITUTE(A1) in cell 'A2' gives me: 1234567890
=ISTEXT(A2) in cell 'A3' gives me: TRUE
BUT, =A3+1 gives me: 1234567891
Hows that happening? Substitute function gives me the output which is a TEXT, and how is it that when I add 1 to it, I get an answer? Shouldn't I get a #VALUE! error instead?
I would like to know if it is possible for the output from a match function to be correlated to a location? The output I receive is just a number. I would like to use this number as the row, but I would like to hyperlink it into a formula so that I can create a macro for this process.
In essence I would like for a number in one cell to become a location in another cell.
I want to pass an array to a function, and am unclear how to do it. For example, the following declaration does not work:
Public Function xyz(a() as Variant) as Double
There is an additional requirement that I would like the output also to be a range of the same dimensions, typically one column and 100 rows. Is this possible?
A further twist is that the function I am writing calculates two values for every element in the input array and I need the output of them both.
An inelegant solution would be to write two separate functions, but I was wondering if it is possible to get two array outputs from a single function.
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".
I have numbers in cell A1 (say 3545852) as a sum of a data range. I want to display it like this "Rs. 35,45,852.00 Cr."
How can i do this. I used text function like this
="Rs. " & text(A1,"0,00.00") & " Cr."
But it displays "Rs. 3545852.00 Cr."
I want thousand separator also.
I am attempting to multiply the value of strings/integers for an output in a function macro. I know it's a simple question, but a simple answer would be suffice. I'm in the middle of a massive brain fart...

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.
I need to return the text from a string, in a similar way to they way LEFT/ RIGHT would do.
I have some text in a cell, say A1 that looks like this ->
TEXT BEGIN --- TEXT NOW ENDS
I want to return everything before / after the --- symbols.
I have the below line in a macro but the left function is not working, will not sum everything.
Range("g" & x).Value = "=SUMPRODUCT(--(Data!a2:a65536 = """ & val1 & """)*(data!t2:t65536=left(g1,2)))"
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$3065;A14)
D2847 - D3065
includes Numbers..
lets say.. i want every cell counted which has in these range the first two numbers..
every cell has..
5052
5053
5054
4060
4050
so i count the entries which has 50.. so in total it gives a result of 3. Not summing them, just count the entries that has the first two numbers "50" in every row..
The Red Markings can be replaced, the rest should stay.. it is needed due different criteria.....
I keep seeing Right$(arg,arg) in VBA examples, but I am not sure what the dollar sign is doing.
Is it acting like a string declaration?
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...

Got the following formula:-
=LEFT(L5, FIND("(",L5)-1)
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").
I have a list of data that I'm using the index - match function to output data based on user input.
For example, I have:
1 10
2 15
3 20
So when '1' is selected another cell outputs '10'.
However what I want is for example if 1.25 is input, I want it to interpolate to spit out the correct number between 10 and 15.
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
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!
