I am combining information from two different cells to one cell using cell reference such as,(=B4&"/"&F5),B4 being a number and F5 the date. So my question is how to get the date to show as a date value and still have the other value remain unchanged. I have tried to use formating but will not work to keep the date. An example would be

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a workbook where I track projects. Whenever I enter an update in the comments section for a particular project I enter the current date and the word UPDATE! into a column labelled Updated. The format should look like the following.

As I have to do this on a regular basis I wanted to create a macro that would do this. I came up with the following.
Date formatting. I have two columns first column is for the date (3/6/2013) and the second column is for the time (12:37:16 AM). I would like to combine the content of both columns to be like (2/11/2013 12:35:00 AM) .
I am using concatenate but I don't have any luck. How to combine the content of my two columns.
I have a spreadsheet that retrieves data from a 3rd party app/database. The data that is returned has two dates..
ie..
1/1/051.31.4
1/1/051.31.4
1/2/051.31.5
1/2/051.31.5
1/3/051.32.6
1/3/051.30
etc..
What I would like to see is..
1/1/051.32.8
1/2/051.33.0
1/3/051.32.6
Date range varies, but usually there are two dates retrieved. Date is pulled and display within A2:A700 Range.
For making quotes at work, I'm looking to have the quotes named automatically. The format of naming our quotes is the date (in this format) then quote name: yymmddNAME (Example for today: 090720EXCEL)
I'm using the =NOW() function for the date (Cell A1), then doing a custom format to turn the format into yymmdd then in a different cell I'm putting in the "NAME" (Cell A2) and what I want to do is combine the 2 cells (Cell A3) by doing: =A1 & A2
but when i do this, the format of the date gets messed up.
I know a simple formula would 'almost' do what i want...but i was hoping for a simple feature....
i have several text cells that i want to combine into one cell.....
so a formula like =A1&B1&C1.... would work fine....but is there anyway to present this data a little fancier? for example separating each cell entry after a "break" or something....
I have two columns, Brief Descriptions and Detailed Descriptions. In many cases they are different and I combine the two for one longer description; however in certain instances the two columns read the same. Is there was way to combine the two cells where any repeat text is only expressed once?

Each cell value will be separated by a space or any special character I designate in the macro
I have attached an example which the output is separated by a space. Sheet1 has the original file and Sheet2 has the desired output.
I'm looking to take words which are originally in their own separate cells and "combining" the words all into one single cell.

I need to combine the day and month only in column A with the year (in positions 3-6) in column B
As an example I have "11/1/2015" in column A and "C 2010@101.0" in column B. The desired result in column C is "11/1/2010".
I have tried using the left function in column A with the mid function in column B but haven't had any luck so far.
I have a spreadsheet with a name spread over 3 cells
A1 = MR
B1 = JOHN
C1 = SMITH
i want to create a macro or a formula that combines all of the data in these cells into the first column so that in column A1 it would read MR JOHN SMITH.
I want to combine cells from two adjacent columns in this way: a1 is combined with everything in column b, then a2 is combined with everything in column b, etc. So that I have a1b1, a1b2, a1b3, a1b4, a2b1, a2b2, a2b3, etc.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have the below data that I need to concatenate, merge... I'm not sure.
The data looks like this currently:
So that it reads in one sentence, e.g. Northumberland; Newcastle; North Tyneside; South Tyneside (note - no "." or ";" at the end of the string).
I had come up with this formula -
=IF(A11>0,A11&"; ","")&IF(B11>0,B11&"; ","")&IF(C11>0,C11&"; ","")&IF(D11>0,D11&"; ","")&IF(E11>0,E11&"; ","")&IF(F11>0,F11&"; ","")&IF(G11>0,G11&"; ","")&IF(H11>0,H11&"; ","")&IF(I11>0,I11&"; ","")&IF(J11>0,J11&"; ","")&IF(K11>0,K11&"; ","")&IF(L11>0,L11&"; ","")&IF(M11>0,M11&"; ","")&IF(N11>0,N11&"; ","")&IF(O11>0,C11&"","")
Which works fine if there is a value in cell O, but if not, then a semi-colon appears at the end of the string. It also seems incredibly clunky.
Basically, I'm struggling (being a total n00b) to get the semi-colons in the right place, blank cells to be skipped or not included, and for there to be no semi-colon after the last value.
I currently have a column with each cell containing alphanumeric data of a filename.
The majority of cell data looks something like this.
"AB_XYZ_0408_00700.doc"
"AB_XYZ_0408_00708.doc"
"AB_XYZ_0408_02200.doc" etc
**Note the numbers "00700" are always 5 digits long also note the extension is always ".doc" (4 characters long). However the other parts, AB_XYZ etc vary in length based on the worksheet.
I need to ADD or Subtract "+1" or "-1" from the 5 digit number for example make "00700, into 00701"
I currently tried to separate the data into columns which provides me with the number 00700 isolated in its own cell and then I simply add or subtract 1. In that isolated cell I am able to add "leading zeroes" and it works great.
The Problem is that when I combine the separated cell data "=A1&B &C1" with the New number (in this case 00701") the problem that I run into is the leading zeroes do not follow over to the combined cell and I am left with a final filename like this "AB_XYZ_0408_701.doc" - That is missing the leading zeroes.
Also if you have a more advanced formula that could simply add and subtract "1" from the 5 digit number that would be ideal.

I have the following setup,
Down column A I have a list of jobs, job 1 , job 2 etc
Down column b I have either a blank cell or other data (will be numbers but is irrelevant)

assuming b1 b2 and b4 have any contents and b3 and b5 and onwards are empty

I am generating a calendar view of project information in excel with the column headings as dates. Every project should be a merged group of cells spanning the rows for the proper dates.
Right now I generate a new row with new merged cells for every project (100 projects = 100 rows, even if the project only spans a single day!)
I need to be able to consolidate the project data so that if two projects' dates don't overlap they are put in a single row.
For instance:
Project 1 runs 8/2/2006 - 8/3/2006
Project 2 runs 8/5/2006 - 8/9/2006
Project 3 runs 8/6/2006 - 8/7/2006
Right now I get 3 rows, each with one piece of data shown as a group of merges cells.
I want to see Projects 1 + 2 or 1 + 3 on the same row (since they don't overlap).
Simply cutting and pasting up doesn't work because the vba automatically overwrites data.
I just don't know excel vba very well (long time access man).
A little background, I am trying to match CC deposit batch transactions to daily sales transactions. I have two reports, one from our credit card processor/gateway (Report "B") and one from our software where the daily sales (Report "A") are recorded. I used the INDEX/MATCH formula to pull the information I needed from Report "A" into Report "B". It worked perfectly. My question is, is there anyway that I can show what information has been pulled from Report "A"? Possibly by highlighting what was pulled over? It is a longshot, but it would make my life so much easier if it was possible...

I have been reading through trying to find a similar post but the nearest i could find was one dealing with numbers rather than text. This is how the workbook looks.
Column A contains a list of numbers based on vehicle types. Column B contains a list of vehicle names.
A B
1 Car,
1 Taxi,
2 Bus,
2 Lorry,
3 Skateboard,
3 Bike,
1 Motorcycle,
What I am looking for is the best way to combine the text from column B depending on the value of column a. the finished results would then end up as: "Car,Taxi,Motorcycle,", or "Bus,Lorry," etc. This is just a simple list.. The one I am working with has around 2500 entries. I have been trying to do this using the CONCATENATE function and IF statement but it's just not working..... My head is ready to explode
I have a step in a very long macro to populate a sheet (SheetMaster) with the course completion status based on another sheet (SourceData) in the same workbook.
On "SheetMaster" Col E starting with row 2, I want to look at whether a concatenated value of E1 + A2 is in Col G in "SourceData". The macro should run until it gets to a blank row in Col A.
Here is an example to help illustrate the logic:
E1 = Ethics101
A2 = 123456
A3 = 654321
If Col G in "SourceData" contains "Ethics101-123456", E2 = "Complete", if not "Incomplete"
If Col G in "SourceData" contains "Ethics101-654321", E3 = "Complete", if not "Incomplete"
...and so on until it gets to a blank row in Col A...
Is there a way to combine cells in excel and chage the color of part of it?
Example: On my sheet I have multiple cells I need to combine:
Say A1 reads 23.65
Say A2 reads 43.65
Now on A3 I want it to read "Estimated budget 23.65 vs 43.65"
I can get this to work but here is the problem, I want the 23.65 to always be red and bolded and the 43.65 to always be blue and bolded.
This is a project plan with tasks and dates. Column A is the activity number. (Example 1, 2, 3" etc). Column B is the task (Ex. "Complete Report"). Column C is number of days required to complete the task. Column D is the dependency column. (Ex. Cell D2 =1 in other words Task 2 is dependent on task 1). Column E is the date.
I would like to have a seperate start date cell and a go live date cell.
The objective is to enter a start date, and have each column E date increase based on the number of days entered in Column C. If a task is dependent on another and I change the number of days in Column C I need the dependent task to change the same amount of days.
Cell A is the first name, B is a period, C is the last name, D is an "@" and E is "yahoo.com".
I want to squeeze them all together, in order, without spaces, into cell F to make an email address.
What is the formula ?
Collapsing function: I want to select cells that I want merged, and have them COLLAPSE into the first cell selected calls
Combining function: OR Select the cells I want merged, and allow me to pick a destination cell for the result COMBINE
I would like to add this functionality to all my spreadsheets in the future.

B2 contains "tribbles"
