Add Asterisk Symbol As Text At End Of Cell With Formula?
Nov 29, 2011I am trying to add a * at the end of a value in a cell, used to signify a note at the bottom of the page. However, as the cell contains a formula, excel thinks I am adding a multiplication sign instead.

Aug 24, 2007I need to take cells such as the following from A1 down:
Baker, Helen
Brown, Joe
Smith, John
Roberts
Thompson, Karen
White, Daniel
Wright, Lisa
I need to move this to the next column but where there is a cell such as the 4th without a comma it needs to add ", N/A".
Basically it should make "Roberts" from A4 become "Roberts, N/A". I think it needs something to search for a comma and if it's not present to add that to the end.

View 3 Replies View RelatedAudible Alarm When Symbol Appears In Cell
Dec 3, 2006Cells in Columns A & B (57 rows deep) have a real time data feed and can have values of blank, "H", or "R". The H and R can remain in the cell for any length of time. I would like to have an audible ding go off whenever a new H or R appears in columns A or B. Is there a cell formula that can do this? I think a macro solution would not work, because the workbook has a macro that activates every 10 seconds, so I assume a macro solution would interfere if both macros happen to activate at the same time.

Jan 13, 2012I'm trying to make a formula but are failing. This is the data:
Cells:
a1= ant-gel
a2= ant - gel
a3 = size 1 - 6
a4 = size 1-6
a5 = book - 5
a6 = book-5
a7 = good book
I want a formula that displays "True" if cell contains a "-" symbol AND the dash symbol is surround on both sides by a number (a space can go between dash and number)
I want the results to go in column B
For example, if a1 contains a dash and dashes are surrounded on both sides by a number, then "TRUE", otherwise "FALSE.
therefore:
b1 = FALSE
b2 = FALSE
b3 = TRUE
b4 = TRUE
b5 = FALSE
b6 = FALSE
b7 = FALSE
Vlookup On Part Of The Text In A Cell.
Jun 18, 2009I am trying to do a vlookup and am having soem issues. I have data like this in the cell i am using as the reference: "60030 - COLUMBUS, OH". The first column of the range I am searching would have "60030" in it. What i need to know is how do I get the vlookup to just reference the first 5 digits in the reference cell? As you can see by the formula below, I set the logical value to true hoping that it would find the closest value, but it did not work. =VLOOKUP(A7,sdoalign,3,TRUE)
View 2 Replies View RelatedVLOOKUP And Still Have Typed Text In Cell
Oct 27, 2008I was wondering if there would be a way to use vlookup and still be able to type text in the same cell. For example, if the vlookup gives me a result of 123. I want it to also pull from a different cell that I've typed in 321. So the resulting cell would show 321-123 or 321 123. I have attached a sample sheet. On sheet two where the 3 items are, I want it to display 321-123 for item 1, 321-234 for item 2, and 321-345 for item 3. The 321 would be dependant on what I type into B1 on the first sheet.

Oct 12, 2012I am trying to run a VLOOKUP that allows me to reference all text (which can vary in length) in a cell up to the first '' from the right of the string. Also note that the master table of data being retrieved from is in another workbook. For example:
TestSalesDealsPlans - I just want to reference Plans (5 characters up until but not include '')
TestSalesDealsOrder Management - I just want to reference Order Management which obviously has more characters than the above example 'Plans' (16 characters up until but not include '')
I am fairly certain I will need to nest several functions such as RIGHT, VLOOKUP, MATCH, INDEX, etc but just not sure the most effective way to go about this.

How To Divide Cell If Cell Contains Less-than Symbol
May 31, 2013Column (B) contains two different units, either (ug L-1) or (mg L-1). I have this formula, =IF(B2="(ug L-1)",A2/1000,A2), which copies the value in column A to column C, so for cells that are in (mg L-1) units, it's a direct copy, but for cells that are in (ug L-1) units, it divides the value in A by 1000. However, I can't remember what the formula should be if the cell contains a "<" symbol AND is also in (ug L-1) units.
e.g.
< 0.004(ug L-1)
How can I change that to <0.000004?

In the actual symbols list, there are no such symbols. I think there must be another type of symbol available as I use: ►
I grabbed that symbol from another spreadsheet, and I have no idea where it came from. I have wanted a similar arrow that points to the left or up, but I have no idea where to find them. I only know that the spreadsheet accepts a copy/paste of this symbol, and it does not seem to be related to any particular font set.
where I could find a "empty box" symbol, and also tell me where symbols like ► come from.

Delete Everything After A Symbol
May 22, 2008I have a large list of data.
Approx 10,000 rows.
All I'm looking to do is delete in each row everything after the / symbol.
So everything after a forward slash gets deleted.
All my data is in ColA from A3 downwards.
Ideally would love a macro I can assign a button to.
As an example;

So the above after the macro run would look like;
