Alphanumeric Counter (automatically Populate A Column With An Alphanumeric)
Jun 23, 2009
I need to automatically populate a column with an alphanumeric MFR0001 to MFR9999 and am currently using the formula below to add 1 to the start point (A1)...
A1=MFR0001
Formula in A2 =LEFT(C1,3)&(RIGHT(C1,4)+1)
This works perfectly if I start at MFR1000, but breaks and drops the 000 if I use it on the number I need to start with (MFR0001).
I have a column containing ranges of apha-numeric codes that I wish to expand into an adjacent column as the following example:
AL 0-4 AL 0
E 4 AL 1
H 16-23 AL 2
[Code] .....
I would like the VB to distinguish and expand the different range permutations from the first column, leaving single codes intact and separating comma separated codes as shown. If it makes it easier, I manually split out the comma separated codes onto separate rows.
Likewise, I have many combinations. And it is not necessary that only "AB-CD/EF1-AB" combination will come first in a row. In input,Column A values are given. Other columns are empty.
I'm trying to sort by a column with one to four digit numbers, any of which may be followed by a single letter, i.e. 1,2,3 4A,5, 10,11A,75,101A,600,705,1010B,1011A.
I'd like them to sort in the above order. I am only able to have excel 2003 sort all of the numeric cells first, followed by the cells with the alpha character.
It looks for a numeric value then increments it of +1 based on the value found.
How would I modify this for it to look for an alphanumeric value first (EX.: 0A) then increment it alphabetically (Ex.: if 0A then the result would be 0B) and if the value searched is not alphanumeric it would then revert to the initial bit of code that searches for the numeric value?
Dim FndRw As Long, c As Range, LstRw As Long
Set c = Cells.Find(What:="No.", After:=Cells(1, 1), SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious)
If Not c Is Nothing Then FndRw = c.Row If Len(Cells(FndRw + 1, "B")) Then
I create inventory cards and each needs a unique 4 character sequence number. Currently I have it set up with 4 cards per sheet. If I need to print more than 4 cards, the worksheet will print one sheet of 4, reset itself and increment the sequence number by 4 and continue this cycle until I've printed the number I need.
Currently I have it only using numbers. I start at 1000 and it increments, by 4, up to 9995. Once it reaches 9995 or higher, the increment resets to 1000 and starts over. The problem I am facing is I am now starting to get several cards that have the same "unique" sequence number. What I would like to do is change it from numerical sequencing to alphanumeric sequencing.
This is the code I currently use for the incrementing....
I have a few columns of letters (ranging from A to Z) - onyl one letter per cell. I need to be able to deduct them such that they result in a numeric difference (ie D-B=2, D-A=3). Is there any way this can be done in VBA? (The actual columns are in a word table, so would be great if there was a VBA way to do this, not an excel function).
(1) In an excel i am about to create 1000 rows of records. The first 100 i set the column to display" Job Role 001 - Job Role 100. The formula i applied from row 2 onwards is: ="Job Role " & TEXT(ROW()-1,"000")
(2) Then now i need to repeat this Job Role 001 - Job Role 100 for the next 100 rows. But if i copy these Job Role 001 - Job Role 100 to the next 100 rows it will result in: Job Role 101 - Job Role 200.
Any solution to make it repeat exactly Job Role 001 - Job Role 100 for next 100 rows onwards??
I'm trying to create a single column of stock bin codes for eventual conversion to barcodes. The bin codes run like this:
A1A A1B A1C - etc. to A1H, then the sequence starts again with: A2A A2B A2C etc. up to A6H, when the 1st character changes to B and the sequence starts again
This needs to continue until the sequence reaches Z6H
How to do this without having to enter each code manually?
I want to create a 4 character alphanumeric sequence. The sequence is to be like this: a1a1-z10z10. If it's a number, increment 1 until you reach 10, then move to the next column, if it's a letter, increment a until z, then move to the next column. Excel's autofill feature doesn't seem to work well for me due to the letters involved, so if someone has a macro handy that would be great.
I have alphanumeric characters and I have to rank them. Previously these characters were only digits (Using Rank function) and now some alphabets mixed with them. What is the function to rank Alphanumeric characters? They are like:
I need a macro to delete only the alphabets which are entered along with numbers. Ex: 300ML. BY running a macro i need to delete only the "ML" and the number 300 should remain the same.
Range is For Rows: Entire rows For columns: F TO P
The cell values betwwen these ranges contains alphanumeric such as 20KG,300ML,200M ...etc
Hence i need a macro to delete the alpha charecters for the particular range.
I'm looking to return in cell BG2, the highest alphanumeric value from 10 non consecutive cells (highlighted yellow). When I use the MAX function it works fine should I only have numbers in the 10 cells, but the values in the cells very from 1A to 5Z [all instances of these values are shown in a table on sheet2 with their 'scoring']
I have a rather difficult task to accomplish. What I need is to be able to extract an alphanumeric value from the string. It is a serial number of the equipment and it is always nine alphanumeric characters long. The problem is it can be anywhere in string. Example: “2156545 36 month lease NWL023568 Nancy Clay”. The serial number I need to extract is NWL023568.
I am trying to create a SUMIFS statement with an alphanumeric criterion. I have found formulas that delete specific alpha-strings from the alphanumeric criterion before summing, but I have multiple different alpha-strings for the different departments.
Right now I have:
Code: =SUMIFS(E4:E100,G4:G100,ā€¯>1.67ā€¯,)
But I need to add in that the alphanumeric values in C4:C100 are >= 3000. There are always 3 letters at the beginning of the course codes and then a space before the 4-digit number.
I have created a log file for work which records jobs processed. Additional code has just been added to retrieve job information data from a statistical process control program. This works fine however the spc program outputs the Ohmic value as ohms which I need to convert into alphanumeric format. For example: job value is 24K4, spc outputs as 24400 which I need to convert to 24K4. The Ohmic values range from mOhms to gOhms. Examples below.
Bearing in mind that the above are just examples of possible values, is it possible to convert numeric values to an alphanumeric format similar to those show above using VBA? You may ask why I need to convert. The log file allows manual input of job information where the value is entered in alphanumeric format. It also contains a search form which displays results allowing the user to see if a job has been processed. Obviously it is easier for the user if the job value is displayed as alphanumeric.
On a work sheet I have 20 columns that may or may not have data in it. In the 21 column I want to have a sum "of the values" in the other columns. Problem is the data is in this form i.e. 6 01/17/07 smr or 15 1/19/07 gtw or 24 01/21/07.
To clarify each cell will have a value of a number from 1 to 99 followed by 2 spaces. Then it can have 2 more spaces and an id tag or just finish with the date.
So, from the example above in column 21 I would have a current value of 45 and it could change if more values were added.
Note values are generated from a macro. It may be possible to change the macro so that a comma or such may be used to seperate the different "values / data types"
I would like to use an excel spreadsheet to generate a series of passwords. The password must include alphanumeric content, and be at least 10 characters long, and case sensitive.
For example: 14sH2dA456a
Thought about concatenting each variable, but do not know how to control the random variable creation in a spreadsheet?
I have looked at RAND but can't figure out how to use it to any avail?
In one cell there is a combination of number and text(i.e) 10 Inches or 100 Nos. In another cell this cell is quoted as reference for calculation. Ex. A1*B1/C1 wherein A1 contains Number, B1 Contains Number whereas C1 contains Alphanumerical as mentioned above. But, the contents of cell C1 should be treated as numerals and taken into account for calculation in the above manner. Can explain how to format the Cell C1?
I'm looking for a formula or function to identify cells that are alpha numeric. The alpha is not necessarily in the same place (i.e. 1st, 4th. etc) in each cell. Some cells are all numeric.
What can I do to identify cells that are alpha numeric?
