I am setting up a new chart of accounts, with the format xxx-yyyy, where xxx is a three digit department number, and yyyy is the expense account. I am building a spreadsheet to populate the new chart of accounts to be uploaded into our accounting software. I would like to have a cell that takes the xxx from one cell, adds a hyphen, and combines it with the yyyy value. The result would be xxx-yyyy format.
View 3 RepliesI 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?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have some data in the form of text w/ 8 letters. I'd like to insert a hyphen after the third character. Is this possible using a formula to populate an entire field? Example:
Current format: ABC01234
Desired format: ABC-01234
What is the formula to cover multiple different text that could come up? I could have an answer that is NA, Yes and also a blank cell and if I could I would like to have it set up as follows:
NA = -
Blank Cell = 0
Yes = 1
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.
How do you sort a column of numbers with hyphens?
Example #####-###-####.
I want to sort by the 3 middle numbers
Some code below which I have inherited, basically its looping through one column of data and removing the text at the beginning before the hyphen eg. '123 - data text' to 'data text'.
HTML Code:
'Remove everything before the hyphen in the activity column
Dim SearchStr
Dim CharOffset As Variant
Range("c7").Select
[Code] ......
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 ?
I have the correct formula but the formula is not converting over.

I am trying to combine 54 and Morning side Dr to one cell.
I have 2 spreadsheets with a total of 100,000 rows of item descriptions. The problem is that I have to combine the text in the rows to create a complete item description into one cell. The number of rows for each description varies from 1 row to 7 rows. Excel experts here are using the term "concatinate."
There is one common element to the item description. There is a unique 11 digit code (in its own separate column) in the appropriate number of rows for each description. Note that the unique # I identified below doesn't look right since this document does not allow me to show the numbers in a column.
The spreadsheet looks like the following (I have created 2 item descriptions). I have at least 40,000 more.
PAD, EASEL, 27" X 34", ERASABLE, STATIC 61562030632
IMAGES, 34 SHEETS/PAD 61562030632
AVERY #24-391 OR EQUAL 61562030632
PAD, WRITING, 8.5 X 11.75, LEGAL RULE, 61562030940
PERFORATED 61562030940
AMPAD 20-___ 61562030940
RMOD FOR COLOR AND TO COMPLETE CATALOG 61562030940
NUMBER 61562030940
I could use a formula or a macro that would combine the descriptions into one cell. One other problem was identified as I tried to combine the text. There has to be a space created after the last letter of each row, otherwise, the last word in the row combines with the first word of the next row.
I 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.
18-Aug-08
UPDATED!
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.
I am trying to combine the text from the comments boxes of a full row of cells into the comments box of a separate other cell in order to provide an overview of the comments in these cells in one place.

I have about 20 choices I'd like a user to select from and have the text output to a single cell.
Just create a Data Validation List? Yeah, but that only allows you to select ONE of the items in the list -- I want to select as few as zero and as many as all 20, combining the resulting text into a single string - space or comma delimited.
My first thought was checkboxes, but all I can seem to figure out is how to get ONE of the results into the cell, meaning I'm better off with the Data Validation List because it's easier.
Especially since I need to repeat this for as many as 200 or 300 lines,
I'm trying to combine text and a cell reference using Indirect. Cell B1 contains the text "Region" (no quotation marks). In another cell I'm trying to create a reference to "Region total" (no quotation marks). By my limited understanding the below should work: =INDIRECT("b1"&" total")
But the cell returns #REF!. I've tried pretty much every combination of quotation marks around different elements of the formula I can think of. Cell B1 is a drop down list, don't imagine that's relevant, but it may be.
Excel has went from using the backslash to using a hyphen. If I try to format the cell, all the date choices use the hyphen, what possibly changed?

View 2 Replies View RelatedPlease see attached file. In my column L, I'm trying to find a formula that would reference my column J to the table in the data tab. My problem is the data in column J has a hyphen (-) in the number ex.. 047-258-1 and the next tab does not have a hyphen in between the number...ex 0472581. The correct results in cell L3 would be Walmart. How can I adjust my formula to accommodate this hyphen. Can this also be reflected in my pivot table as well?
View 6 Replies View RelatedFor 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 have the below macro which is failing to insert text into A1 of the Header Sheet, followed by the values in the designated cells that are from Sheet1. I would also like to have the values in cells J2 and K2 enclosed in single quotes.

I am in need of a formula. I have a number like: 23847-2
I want a formula to take this number and add one to the number before the hyphen. I also want the single digit number after the hyphen to be able to be changed.
So in the end: i want the number copied to the next cell, add one to the portion before the hyphen. Then allow the number after the hyphen to be changed manually.
