VLOOKUP To Remove Words

Dec 8, 2009

I'm if I can create a table of words that I want removed from a column.

For example:

Red Fast Cars
Red Slow Cars
Blue Fast Cars
Blue Slow Cars

Can I setup a VLOOKUP function to remove 'Red' and 'Blue'

I know I can create multiple work sheets and use Control + H, to remove words. But that entails a lot of cutting, pasting, and filtering. Plus this example is simple, I'll be using longer text strings AND some examples might need to have 3 words removed from the same string

Remove Certain Last Words From String

Feb 15, 2008

I'm attempting to extract the Street Names from an Address.

For Example, if given "123 Very Big Street" I'd want to extract "Very Big".

If given, "123 Very Big" I'd want the same answer.

I've written code to do this, with a simple IF statement to identify mathcing last words like "Street" and "Drive".

How can I efficiently do this with a large list of last words? I'm drawing a blank on how to query against an array that would contain all these values.

Remove Space And Symbols In Front Of Words

Mar 26, 2009

I have a spreadsheet that I exported from my accounting software. For some reason there are 4 columns that all begin with an apostrophe and have various lengths of white space before the wording begins.

What kind of formula can I use to get rid of the apostrophe and have the wording be left aligned within the cell with no space before or after it?

The file I am working on is attached. They are columns C, D, E and F.

Match Words To A String Using VLookup

May 10, 2014

Take a look at the attached workbook.

Tab 'Internal' is an example of our internal customers and how much they spent with us.
Tab 'External' is a list of companies in our area that we could do business with, it came from a marketing firm. Columns B:J contain my formulas. B is my lookup.

I need to match the two sheets together and pull the dollars spent from Internal to External. The problem is that the marketing firm did not use the same naming conventions that are in our systems. This means a simple Vlookup will not work.

Here is what I did so far: used VBA and formulas to break apart the company names in External, then using a modified Vlookup to match the words to the names in Internal. My accuracy rate is less than 1%.

VLookup - Find Words In Sentences

May 30, 2014

The idea is try to search the words from Column C in Column A and if some key is found, show value from Column C (As a simple Vlookup but column A contains sentences):

A B C D

This is a test test 1
This is a tst excel 2
test case 3 tst 3
case for excel
test 4
tst nº 5

Excel1.JPG

And expected result should be: (column B, contains the formula):

A B C D

This is a test 1 test 1
This is a tst 3 excel 2
test case 3 1 tst 3
case for excel 2
test 4 1
tst nº 5 3

Excel2.JPG

The idea is not to use. Column C could have more of 1000 entries.

Auto-calculate 2 Column That Contains Numbers And Words Words

Jul 16, 2009

I've been using conventional method to do this and it's time consuming. I would like to total up 2 column. A multiply B to be exact. Below are some examples:

Table 1 - Before totaling up:

Quantity
Product
5
2 x Button A White
3
4 x Button B Pink
4
5 x Ribbon A Black
2
3 x Thread A White
6
2 x Cloth A Blue

Table 2 - After totaling up:

Quantity
Product
10
Button A White
12
Button B Pink
20
Ribbon A Black
6
Thread A White
12
Cloth A Blue

I need to have the sum of the "Quantity" multiply "Product". Or in short A x B.
And the end result need to have the number and "x" sign removed while keeping on the the products names. (2 x ) Take note it's "number" space "symbol" space.

Find Words - Deleting The Words - And Deleting Some Info After The Words.

Jun 23, 2006

I am trying to find certain words in a column and delete the word and characters following. For example, Say I have a column of info as seen below. This is a test of me. I am just experimenting with this stuff. Deleted (6/15/01) Let me know what you think. I am not sure about it all, but I guess I will figure it out. riviledge1 (01/05/06) Now let's see what happens when I try to test it.

I want to find all the "Priviledge1 (01/05/06)" and replace with nothing. Please note, the date will change with each record, so I need to figure out how to tell Excel to find "Priviledge1", delete it and the date behind it. So I want to delete "Priviledge1" and the next 11 characters including the space.

How To Turn Abbreviated Words Into Full Words

Feb 4, 2013

On to the topic, I have all the US and Canadian states abbreviated (CO = Colorado, etc.) and was wondering if there is a way to make all of them convert to their respective names in one fell swoop instead of writing it in for each one, one at a time. Something along the lines where I can make, CO = Colorado, TX = Texas and then hit enter and all of the abbreviations would convert. Some kind of command.

I have tried Sumproduct and Countif and can not get a proper count of rows that contain specific words in multiple columns. I have attached an example spreadsheet where I am looking for a result of 7 rows that contain 1 to 4 specific words within phrases. The example looks for the words: "virus", "spyware", "malware" & "adaware", and ignores any other words like "aware" or "ware".

Combining List Of Words Into New Words, Conjugation

Feb 15, 2007

I have 4-5 separate lists of words/letters and I would like to combine them in a certain order but creating all possible combinations resulting a new word. It's like a conjugation tool for verbs. For example if List 1 = be/el/ki/meg; List 2= m List3=e/é; List4= gy/" "; List 5=" "/ek/sz/nnek So the output has to be (if the order is List1+List2+List3+List4+List5)= bemegy/bemegyek/bemegysz/bemesz/bemész/elmegy/elmennek/ ..... and all possible combinations.

Preferentially I would like to automate it in a way that it straight outputs into MS Access. Also can it be automated that it reads the list from a file (database)?
(Also can it recognize the word by letters? Because the basic word that I would load the program= List2+List3+List4)

Remove Non-alpha Characters From Alphanumerics With Option To Remove Numbers

Aug 8, 2009

I have found a very useful UDF for removing non-alpha characters from strings. (See below, Credit for posting to Stanley D Grom - Ozgrid post ´Removing Non-alpha Characters From Text´).

Option Explicit

Private Function RemoveCharacters(InString As String) As String
Dim intLoopCounter As Integer
Dim intStringLength As Integer
Dim intASCIIVal As Integer
intStringLength = Len(InString)
InString = LCase(InString)
For intLoopCounter = 1 To intStringLength
intASCIIVal = Asc(Mid(InString, intLoopCounter, 1))
If intASCIIVal >= 97 And intASCIIVal <= 122 Then
RemoveCharacters = RemoveCharacters + Mid(InString, intLoopCounter, 1)
End If
Next intLoopCounter
End Function

Two requests:

1. Could the UDF be modified such that any part of a string contained within brackets is also removed (e.g. "NLGA High Street (West-Enfield), EN6" becomes "nlgahighstreeten")?

2. Can an argument be added to the format of the UDF, such that numbers (0 to 9) are either included or excluded (e.g. RemoveCharacters(A1,1) where the argument ´1´ would include any numbers (0 to 9), so "NLGA2003 High Street (West-Enfield), EN6" becomes "nlga2003highstreeten6")? ´blank´or ´0´would exclude these numbers, i.e. would return "nlgahighstreeten"

VLOOKUP With INDIRECT (become Dynamic As The Table Array Part Of The Vlookup Will Change)

Aug 18, 2009

I have a Vlookup which I want to modify so that it can become dynamic as the table array part of the vlookup will change.

So the basic vlookup is as follows:
=VLOOKUP($R$3,ATTRIBUTION_FACTSET!$M$60:$P$73,2,0)
but the data I am looking for wont always be in the range M60:P73.

So I tried to make it dynamic by doing the following:
=VLOOKUP($R$3,INDIRECT("ATTRIBUTION_FACTSET"&"!M"&U1&":P"&V1),2,FALSE)
The idea being that U1 and V1 would be numbers that can change so in this case U1 would equal 60 and V1 would equal 73

This vlookup is giving me #N/A and no matter how I modify it I cannot get it to work.

Write VLookup Where Data Array Changes Each Time VLookup Used

Oct 29, 2012

I'm trying to do a Vlookup on a file that gets automatically downloaded to the computer from a website. The data is in lots of different data sets, like so:

Loans to countries
Mar
Apr
May
Jun

Loans to banks
Mar
Apr
May
Jun

Every month a new row of data gets added to each table, meaning the start and end cells of the array also shift each time.

Lookup - With Words??

Dec 30, 2008

I'm having a slight problem with lookup. I have attached the workbook. On the worksheet "Time List", it shows each round what time each team plays in order of time. On worksheet "Ind. Times" it is supposed to list the game times in order of team rather than times.

I'm using lookup, but the values in "Ind Times" are incorrect. If you look at the very first value... It says Monday Night Roast have a BYE Round 1, but looking at "Time List" you see they actually play at 8.00pm. On a side note, if I change the values of the team names to numbers - it works no problem at all.

RANKing Words?

Feb 9, 2009

The Excel function RANK allows one to automatically rank a number within a given range of numbers. Can anyone think of a way to do the same thing with words?

For example, imagine a list of 20 words in a column, with space to add ten more words (complete range B2 to B31, which include the last ten blank cells). If these were numbers, then in the previous column one could simply put in the RANK formula covering the full range, which would then auto update as you added more numbers to the spare ten cells of the range. Assuming that all the values being ranked are unique, and you would therefore get a unique rank number, to order them in rank order, one would simply have the list of possible rank values a column or two removed and VLOOKUP the ranks and their appropriate values.

But what if these numbers were WORDS? The first 20 words are FIXED and will not change, the next ten cells of the range could have any other words typed into them. There is no RANK function for words so how would you suggest that ranking by words is achieved, that does not require any intervention, and as new words were added to the spare ten cells in the range, then the rank would automatically update? This list of ranked words would then be VLOOKUP’d in the same fashion as above with the final list being used to fuel a drop down box, so the user would have an alphabetical listing of all the potential words in the range.

If Statement With Words

Feb 11, 2010

I m running a weekly league with a money list. There are teams that are randomly drawn each week and the winning team gets a certain amount of money. I want to be able to create a money list that pulls a persons names from my list of winners and tallies up there total winnings from all the tourneys combined.

Here is the data I'm working with:
A B C D
1 Tourney #1 Champ SteveEric $100.00
2 Tourney #2 Champ SteveBen $160.00
3 Tourney #3 Champ GregTony $140.00
4 Tourney #4 Champ GregHarry $70.00

I want it to add up the amount of money won by each player. So for example: Ben has won a total of $80. I want it to read that in my money list, then I would like to be able to sort the list using the DATA sort tool. So my main question is, what formula do I put in the cell in order to find the person's name then pull the amount won for that tournament, divide it by 2, then add it up as a total?

Here is what I want the list to look like:
F G
1 MONDAY NIGHT CORNHOLE MONEY LIST
2 NAMEAMOUNT EARNED
3 Steve$130
4 Eric$50
5 Ben$80
6 Greg$105
7 Tony$70
8 Harry$35

Delete Words Between First & Last

Aug 4, 2009

I have a column of Full Names like so:

Tim MacDonald
Pat @ Justine Carey
Penn Fishing C/O Denise Long
Krista Dawkins
Therese le Latshaw

I'm using =LEN(TRIM(C2))-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(C2," ",""))+1 to do a word count. What I need is a formula that will delete all characters between the first and last word if the word count equals more than 2. Even just a formula to determine the location of the first and last space so I can use MID() to cut it out.
