Adding Alternating Cells In Long List?

Jan 4, 2014

how to add alternating cells when all are numbers, e.g. B8 to KW8 are all numbers and I want to add B8, D8, F8, etc. until KV8 and then separately add C8, E8, G8, etc until KW8. Is there a more efficient way to do this than =sum(b8,D8, etc)? I also need to do the same with =counta(b8, d8, etc).

Adding Text To Formulas - Formula Too Long

Jan 29, 2010

Is there a work around to pull data from cells in excel to another tab with standard language? For example the template language will stay the same except in example A's case the last sentence "0.0" hrs will vary based what's sitting in B34.

It's stating the formula is too long. Is there too much text?

Sometimes the link would be in the middle of the text as shown in example B below with dates 00/00/00.

EXAMPLE A
For any leave of absence that is granted for more than 10 days, time off is governed under the Disability Bank Policy. Under the Disability Bank Policy there is a 10 day elimination period which must be satisfied prior to gaining access to your disability bank. During this 10-day elimination period, you are required to use your sick time for the first 6 days (48.00 hours) and vacation time for the remaining 4 days (32.00 hours). After this elimination period, we use all the time accrued in your disability bank. Currently, you have a disability bank balance of "00" hours.

EXAMPLE B
After this disability bank is exhausted, you will use all remaining and future paid time off balances from your vacation/CME/holiday banks. Because your leave begins in 00/00/00 and ends in 00/00/00 we will advance you future paid time off balance thru 00/00/00. Once those balances are exhausted the remainder of the leave will be unpaid. Per our policy, should you not return to work, you agree to pay back any time advanced to you within 30 days of your separation from the company.

Jul 21, 2009

I am interested in selecting cells in alternating rows as follows:

12 Red Happy
00 Unique descriptor
13 Grn Sad
03 Unique descriptor
14 Yel Happy
02 Unique descriptor

I am interested in selecting all the "12, 13, etc", "Red, Grn, ..." and "Happy, Sad..." for analysis, but want to skip all the rows containing the 0- numbers and the descriptors for them. How do I quickly select only the alternating cells in a column within a selection?

Filtering A LONG List To Entries In A Shorter List

Nov 10, 2008

I have a list of email aliases for my company, approx 10,000 entries, mapping the alias to an email address. Two columns, one the alias firstname.surname, second column being the full email address. I have a second list, a subset of these aliases, approx 1200 of them, that are users of a particular web app. All i have in this list though, is the firstname.surname bit.

What I need to do is compare the lists, and where the aliases match I need to pull out the corresponding full email address from the long list, so I have 1200 aliases in the shorter list, with the full email address mapped to it. Is this possible in excel? i've tried all sorts of LOOKUP functions, and MATCH functions, but none seem to work. MATCH will give me the corresponding row number in the long list, but then it seems to offset itself every row it goes down, so the values are 1 out for every row. First row is good, second row -1, third row -3, fourth row -4 etc.

I don't want to have to manually go through 1200 entries and match them against a 10,000-entry list. Hopefully there's a quick way in excel to filter the long list down to the entries specified in the short list?

Copy Certain Records From Long List Into New Sheet

I need to create a new sheet, and pull all the rows (14 columns each) from another sheet in the document that meet a certain criteria. Fortunately, that criteria is all in one column; unfortunately, out of about 30 different entries in that column, I need it to pull 7 of them, 4 of them have been input 2 or 3 different ways.

I know I can go through the list of 900+ by hand and copy the rows, but there has to be an easier way right? Here is the list of all the spellings of the ones I need to pull..

Convert Long Address List To Multiple Columns

Nov 22, 2007

I've been given a long list of mailing addresses in Excel in formatted as a single column, each address using three rows with no blank rows. Example:

John Doe
123 Maple St. #2
Cambridge, MA 02139
Jane Smith
321 Elm St. Apt 24
Austin, TX 34557
etc.
etc.

I need to get this data into the form ...

John Doe 123 Maple St. #2 Cambridge MA 02139

I would think this has been done, but I've searched the web and this forum without success.

Trying To Write A List Of Numbers In A Cell, Keeps Converting It To A Long Number

Jan 12, 2010

I'm doing the website for my company and things have to be entered into the site via spreadsheets. I have a list of numbers

e.g. 3652, 2845, 50925, 4809, 18392

that need to have the spaces removed in order for them to work.

e.g. 3652,2845,50925,4809,18392

There are over 500 cells with multiple numbers in each, so I don't want to do it one at a time, and rightly so, because Excel keeps changing the format and giving me something like

3.6*10^30 and loses all my commas.

Is there an easier way?

Removing All But Highest Occurrence Of Version Numbers In Long List?

Feb 7, 2014

I have a list full of different IDs with different version numbers (This format: AKH123.1).

I'm trying to clean the list - removing all duplicate IDs but leaving only the largest version number.

I managed to remove the last digit using LEN/VLOOKUP and removing duplicates, but leaving only the largest version number is too tricky for me. I've thought about trying something with LARGE but can't wrap my mind around it.

My thought process went like this: I want to find all occurrences of "AKH123" and return the largest one.

The list contains about 8000 entries and this would save en enormous amount of work.

Here is a tiny portion of the list:

AKH450.1
AKH451.1
AKH451.3
AKH451.4
AKH451.5
AKH451.6
AKH451.7
AKH451.8
AKH452.1
AKH453.3
AKH454.1
AKH455.1
AKH455.2

Merging 114,618 Cells Into 1 Very Long Cell?

Mar 30, 2013

I have a spreadsheet of barcodes 114,618 rows long. I have a program that requires me to enter in each and every barcode in a certain format. This is the format that it requires me to place the barcodes into.

23423432, 23432342, 234324323, 234322344, 432432432, .............

so and and so forth.

Only problem is my POS system exports the barcodes in a format that looks like this:

545554545435
345435435435
354543534534
354534545453

Now I have a Macro to add a comma to the end of these barcodes. That part was a breeze, however, I have hit a brick wall when it comes to placing them into an ongoing sentence type format, that my program needs. I have found several ways to combine and merge and "justify" the content, however these typically only cover small amounts of content, and doesn't even come close to hitting anything over 100,000. I don't know if maybe I need to be using another program in tandem with Excel.

Takes Too Long ‘calculating Cells’

This code is taking way too long to display the actions that it executes. It didn’t used to be that way. I was wondering if anyone knows why this may be. The Excel file is large – over 8 MB.

If Not Intersect(Target, Me.Range(WS_RANGE)) Is Nothing Then

If .Row > 3 Then
If Me.Cells(.Row, "N").Value = "" Or Me.Cells(.Row, "N").Value = "O" Or Me.Cells(.Row, "N").Value = "H" Then
Me.Cells(.Row, "A").Resize(, 26).Interior.ColorIndex = 0
End If
If Me.Cells(.Row, "N").Value = "C" And Me.Cells(.Row, "O").Value = "DR" Then
Me.Cells(.Row, "A").Resize(, 26).Interior.ColorIndex = 39
End If
If Me.Cells(.Row, "N").Value = "C" And Me.Cells(.Row, "O").Value = "HJB" Then
Me.Cells(.Row, "A").Resize(, 26).Interior.ColorIndex = 6

How To Separate Long Standard Text To Different Cells

Jan 8, 2013

How do i separate example: #EM/13/10000749#JTDEl_1234#abc-NORTH#1##No Traffic Data into separate cells like 0749 to A1 , JTDEl_1234 to A2 , abc-NORTH to A4 , 1 to A7 , No Traffic Data to A5

And then continued with another text of the same standard to the next row by just copying from "Notepad" and pasting it in excel.

All the text is following the same standard.

Example :
#EM/13/10000749#JTDEl_1234#abc-NORTH#1##No Traffic Data
#EM/14/10000730#JTDEl_1256#abc-SOUTH#3##No Connection
#EM/09/10001683#JTDEF_5674#abc-EAST#2##Low Data

Taking New Data From One List And Adding It To Another List Via VBA?

Feb 10, 2014

I have 2 sheets: "MasterInventory" and "InventoryFeed". "MasterInventory", is my full list of all the item I sell on Amazon.com. "InventoryFeed" is populated when I download an update from amazon and paste the data into it. Each list has about 30 columns and each list uses identical headings in the top row. The third column in each sheet is for the product's SKU.

What I'd like to do is loop through each row in the "inventoryFeed" sheet, assign it's sku (the value in column 3) to a variable, and then copy the entire Row. Then I'd like to switch to the "MasterInventory" sheet, and look in column C for the identical SKU. If it is found, I'd like to overwrite the entire line by pasting in the data that was copied earlier. If the SKU is not discovered, I'd like to paste the information into the next blank row in the "masterInventory" sheet.

After the whole thing is looped through, I'd like to sort the MasterInventory Sheet from A to Z by the product's SKU.

Alternating Odd And Even Numbers?

Mar 15, 2014

I have a column (k) of 65,000 rows with numbers that are either positive or negative digits. The next column (L) has classified them as either 1 for positive number or 2 for negative.

There may be a run of all positive or all negative numbers or 2 positives and 3 negatives or any combination of positive and negative numbers reading down the column.

Reading down the column (from L1), I need to find any sequence of alternating 1 positive, followed by 1 negative or vice versa.

I am looking for evidence to find any sequence that has more than 2 alternations. (Remembering that positive is 1 and neg is 2)

That is, two or more alternations of a positive followed by a negative or neg followed by a positive.

eg
1
2
1
2

or
2
1
2

Alternating Range Formatting

Sep 13, 2006

I'm writing a macro that’s taking user input (from a form I developed) and will generate a chart according to the input.

One requirement for this chart is that the background alternates fill colors between gray and white. Every four columns need to be either gray or white. Based on the duration the user entered, the width of this chart is created. The length (the number of rows) is constant.

I've tried different loops (for, if, do - you name it I tried) This loop is just out of my league. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Summary of Facts:
- Starting Point of Chart is B2 (the top left corner of the chart will be in B2)
- the number of columns is dynamic (based on user input)
- The rows are constant are (2 through 16)
- Every four columns need the fill color to be either gray or white
