I 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.
Is there anyway to place a * at the end of the value, to show up in the cell as text? I would prefer not to have to paste the value of the cell and then add the *...
I am wondering if there is a symbol for "text" that I can use in a formula. I.e., =if(C="text", "", INDEX(C:C,MATCH(D16,A18:A23,0)))
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a formula to find if the Symbol "!" is contained in the a cell. And i want it to input "Undercut Due to Trim Edge" if there is a "!" symbol and blank if there is not. What did I do wrong?
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("~!",AL57:AV57)),"UNDERCUT DUE TO TRIM Edge","")
is there a function that will split a text string based on a symbol. I know how tyo use left and right, which are based on a set number of characters but I want to split based on a "/" mark. whats to the left of the "/" mark and whats to the right of the "/" mark. any ideas. an exaplme is: tom / tim. i want a formula that will put the word "tom" in a cell and another formula that will put "tim" in another cell.

Let's say I have two columns: Homeless (column A) & Services (column B). Homeless responses can be either "Y" or "N". Service can be "a", "b", or "ab". Here is an example:
Homeless Service
y a
y b
n a
y ab
I was hoping to use SUMPRODUCT to calculate clients who are homeless and receiving "a" service. I want to be able to calculate those receiving "a" service even if they are receiving "b" service, so I attempted to use asterisks like I have used prior with the COUNTIF function. Here is what I thought would work:
=SUMPRODUCT((A2:A5="y")*(B2:B5="*a*"))
And I expected it to return 2, but I found that I couldn't get the SUMPRODUCT to work with asterisks. I am able to get the results I want be creating a new column to sort the services into just those who are homeless and then using COUNTIF, but I'd rather come up with a more streamlined approach.
I'm trying to convert variable length strings which are being copied from a display and loaded into an array.
I have it working fine for the majority of the data, which comes in looking like "*ABC@US" or "*AABC@US"
However, some of the data looks a bit different, particularly lacking the @ symbol. So what I end up with is
"*ABC US*ABC US*ABC US"
What I need to get to is just "ABC US" FYI the US part can be 1-5 characters.
SO... I need a way to truncate anything after the second instance of the asterisk. Haven't been able to get it to work using various trim, mid, len, left, right, etc functions.
I am trying to save a worksheet as a txt file. The worksheet has a range of data with a variable amount of rows in column A only. It generally will look like:
A*B*C
A*B*C*D*E*F*G*H*I*J
A*B*C*D*E*F*G*H*I*J
A*B*C*D*E*F*G*H*I*J
where each row of data is in a single cell.Whenever I save it, however, it adds extra tab deliminations in each row after the data, and it adds rows with no data (sometimes just 1, sometimes many).
I am positive that no cells in columns B-n have data in them (even just a space) and no rows after the last intended have data.
Why are these extra rows and columns being inserted? How can I save a txt file that literally has no other spaces or rows or deliminations other than what's intended?
I need to have the color of cell A2 change when I enter an asterisk in cell A1 to denote a critical dimension on an inspection form.

if cell does not start with *, then
delete entire row,
next cell
that is the logic im seeing...ive tried a few o ther combinations like "~*" etc...
I'm using the following code to delete rows that I don't want to include and I've ran into some more things that need to be deleted...
For lLoop = RngCol.Rows.Count To 2 Step -1
Select Case RngCol(lLoop, 1)
Case " Date:", "Skill:", "Agent Name", "~*", "*Train*"
RngCol(lLoop, 1).EntireRow.Delete
End Select
Next lLoop
An example of "~*" would be: ***SICARII***
An example of "*Train*" would be: Ozgrid Train1
It's not recognizing these new cases. Do I have to utilize FIND? (since CTRL+F does work with the given cases)

View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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 RelatedCells 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.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to make a formula but are failing. This is the data:

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
Column (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?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm working again with a large Inventory Database dump into a workbook and in the past the company appended the * character to designate an updated price on an item(column C). Its rocking my world to sort through things with this character as you can tell. I'm trying to find rows that column C has a * in, cut, and paste them into another sheet called "Updated". I would even accept just how I'd do a simple "find/replace all" on that character and then I can just update my macro and be on my way Anyway this is the macro thus far and as you can see it would just cut all rows and paste them to "Updated".

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.
