i need to merge several columns together with a comma seperator. but there are some columns with only set of data in and sometimes 6 columns with data. so i end of with something looking like WC,,,,, or GAU,MAJ,CHEM,,, etc.
i have over 6000 lines so don't feel like cleaning up manually.
I have a list of P/N's that are used in more then one location. and it's sorted by P/N's.
ColA__ColB__ColC
______Loc___PN
______1_____A
______2_____A
______3_____B
______4_____C
______5_____C
I Want to be able to put in Col A the concatenate results of all equal P/N's from any given list. Or at least select the few cells that i know are duplicates and from that copy the Location to a single Column.
ColA ColB__ColC
______Loc__PN
1,2____1___A
_______2___A
_______3___B
4,5____4___C
_______5___C
Sampling table :
one
two
three
four
one
two
three
one
two
one
Desired results obtained via IF =IF(B2>0,A2&" , ",A2)&IF(C2>0,B2&" , ",B2)&IF(D2>0,C2&" , ",C2)&IF(D2>0,D2,"")
one , two , three , four
one , two , three
one , two
one
Is there any smarter, shorter formula via Concatenate and Substitute or other formulas ?
My closest match, but not good enaugh is =SUBSTITUTE(CONCATENATE(A2&", "&B2&", "&C2&", "&D2), ", , ", " ")
[ returna 2 commad ]
one, two, three, four
one, two, three,
one, two

Is it possible that when you press a command button, that the first thing it does is to execute the code assigned to another command button (IE in another sub).
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am playing around with the Forfiles command (being called from Excel via Shell)..
I can't for the life of me get it apply a second command (such as getting the file size of each file)..
For example:
VB:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim Z
Z = Split(CreateObject("wscript.shell").exec("cmd /c forfiles /P C:UsersapoDesktopTextFiles /S /M *.* /d
[Code]....
The end result being the filename and the filesize shown..

I have this simple formula: =IF(SEARCH("ABC",BQ239,1)>0,"Found", "Not Found")
Instead of saying Not Found when the value is not in the cell BQ239 text string I get #VALUE! returned
how do I get it to say "Not Found"? I searching for a substring that can be anywhere in the string.
Is there any way to tell (from VBA) what GUI command is currently in progress or what the last command used was?
On a wish list perhaps: Application.LastCommand and/or Application.CurrentCommand
Let's say I'm in the "Sheet_Change" event and want to know what caused the change. Was the event triggered by "Delete", "Paste", "Keystrokes" ...
AutoCAD VBA has "Begin_Command (CommandName as String)" and "End_Command (CommandName as String)" events which I find very useful. Basically I'd like to emulate that to the greatest extent possible.
Application.Caller does not seem to work for the stated purpose. I've been searching for a workaround by means of reading the "Undo Stack". Numerous articles written by experts state that the undo stack is not accessible from VBA.
I've considered reading the text from the "Undo" button's caption but it just seems like such a hack ... not that this whole idea isn't a hack
How can I return name of a command button on click? I want to create some sort buttons on a sheet I will use regularly to speed things up. I thought if I could call each sort button by the column letter the button sits in I can use this in a single sub for all buttons
e.g the button sitting in column A is called "A". when i click the button, it returns it's name to a variable which I can then use to sort column A. I know I could create a seperate routine for each button but I was just trying to think of something neater.
I have a userform with a button on it named But1. Is it possible to store But1 into a variable then activate the But1_Click action using a variable?
Dim strButname As String
strButname ="But1"
Now, how would you activate the But1_Click method using strButname variable. With listboxes you can use the Control(strListboxName) methodology?
This doesn't work, but gives you an idea of what I am trying to do.
Controls(strButname)_click
I have 2,000+ cells containing text that I need to break out into multiple cells. They are names (ex. John M Smith MD) and I need each part of the name in it's own column. I need the opposite of concatenate.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm having a rather difficult time getting this one.
I am concatenating (is that a verb?) a bunch of cells to create an item code.
The combination of two different cells need to be able to give different values so I can dump the appropriate value into the CONCATENATE formula.
A picture is worth a thousand..
I am trying to get 2 rows in one drop down without having to create another combined row. im not sure what formula should i use. I have attached an example.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI want to write formula in cells(many cells!) using concatenate. The desired output:
In Sheet2!D1 - i will write concatenate of Sheet1!C6 and Sheet1F6
in Sheet2!E1 - i will write concatenate of Sheet1!C7 and Sheet1F7
in Sheet2!F1 - i will write concatenate of Sheet1!C8 and Sheet1F
Copy and paste formula would not do so i created a macro stated below. The problem is a can not change the ActiveCell.Formula correction.
I have a simple task and I use the concatenate formula to resolve alot of keystrokes. I now have an issue where I have to edit that formula because of a additional character for the string won't upload into a database. Here's my example:
1. Cell A1= 12345xxxx Cell B1= 67 Cell C1= 8
I use =CONCATENATE(A1,"-000"&B1,"-000"&C1) and my result is displayed in D1= 12345xxxx-00067-0008
Easy enough! Now adding the following is the problem:
1. Cell A2= 12345 Cell B2= 67 Cell C2= 89
I use =CONCATENATE(A2,"-000"&B2,"-000"&C2) and my result is displayed in D2= 12345xxxx-00067-00089
Now D2 has one too many characters from C2
I modify the formula by reducing to "-000"&C2 to be "-00"&C2 manually but now the line items have quadrupled and manually isn't going to work for this being so time consuming.
Is there a way to use a variable with the concatenate or am I using the wrong formula period ??
A1 contains "=2+3+4" which shows 8 as a result. I would like to add a word "Lbs" with it so it would display "8 Lbs" on the same cell. If I entered =1+2+3 on cell A6000, it should give me "6 Lbs".

Here's the
i trying to merge column A1 (ABC) with column B1(XYZ), B2(LOL), B3(ROF) ..etc
with a simple =CONCATENATE(A1,"-",B1) , i can get "ABC-XYZ" , but when come to column B2 , i only can get "-LOL" , any solution ?
Create a column of concatenated values to serve as a "primary key" for a compare and merge tool (Synkronizer). For some reason, the CONCATENATE function isn't being recognized.
If I enter
=CONCATENATE(A2,B2)
instead of showing the strings located in A2 and B2 it displays
=CONCATENATE(A2,B2)
in the cell.
I tried creating a new spreadsheet and it works just fine. Does anyone have an idea of what might be happening? I have compared all of the options between the two spreadsheets and don't see any difference in them.
I have 6 columns:
A1 = LastName
B1 = FirstName
C1 = LastName2
D1 = FirstName2
I need to concatenate into 1 cell so it looks like this: FirstName LastName;FirstName2 Last Name2. Now the challenge is that there are many instances where C1 and D1 are blank (don't have values).
So here was my attempt at a formula:
=IF(A1>""&B1>"",CONCATENATE(B1," ",A1))& IF(C1>""&D1>"",CONCATENATE(";"&D1,"",C1),"")
Now this works, but it ALWAYS leaves a semi colon at the end (even when there is no C1 and D1 to concatentate. Thus I put in my IF statement the "".
What function can get me the first letter from the first name and the whole last name together and then add @email.com. Example: Hanry Jones = HJones@email.com
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have this code
Code:
Selection.FormulaR1C1Local = "=INDIRECT(CONCATENATE(""["",R4C26,""]Sheet1!"",RC))"
Which creates this in the excel cell:
=INDIRECT(CONCATENATE("[",$Z$4,"]Sheet1!",D4))
But for some reason, it returns a 0. However, when I change the code in the excel cell to this
=INDIRECT(CONCATENATE("[",$Z$4,"]Sheet1!D4"))
It works. But I need to be able to change D4 in the macro, so doing it that way won't work for me.
I have the below set of data for example,
aaabbbcccdddeeeaaabbbaaabbbcccaaa
I need the output as,
aaabbbcccdddeeeaaabbbaaabbbcccaaa
As we know, a simple concatenate will work. But my columns are not limited and not easily countable. In my real scenario for some of the rows, data exist from column "A" till column "IB". So, I need to first identify the column data exist in each row and then to implement the concatenate function.
Currently I am trying to concatenate two arrays stockotherarray and stockfittingsarray to create stockarraynew
Below is my code, I keep receiving a compile error.

D that I can use in a database I have.
Column A is first name
Column B is last name

This is what i'm trying to get it to look like in column d:

On tab 2 of a spreadsheet, I am trying to concatenate several cells on tab one! Everything comes together in the cell on tab 2, however it does not hold the date format. It turns it into general text so just random numbers that do not even tie to the date. Any way to lock the date format for this idea?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a list containing 3 the abbreviations of states in A1:A3 (one in each cell), and I would like to concatenate the list in cell B1 to display the list like this: "CA, TX, FL". At times, the list will only have one state (always in A1), but at other times it may have 2 or 3.
I tried: =IF(ISTEXT(A),A1&", "&A2&", "&A3,A1)
But, if A2 does not list a state then it returns "#value!"; and if A2 lists a state but A3 does not then it returns only the value in A1.
What can I do to get it to list all states listed in column A whether there are 1, 2, or 3 states listed?
I have 7 consecutive cells which contain a %
e.g. A1 120%, B1 35% etc
I am trying to put them into one cell using concatenate
but am getting 1.20.3529411764705880.705882352941177
I would also like to separate them by comma,
I am using the concatenate function, however my date field, instead of maintaining its 08/07/07 state, changes to the annoying 5 digit 33935 number.
Even if I cut and paste it as special / values, it stays as the 5 digit number. Can this be avoided somehow?
Can I put the file name into a concatenate formula?
What I've got is seats for lots of different settees that I want to show up on a cutting sheet as ie:
10 Chatsworth Seats
15 Abbey Seats
At current its is reading 'Seats' from the file Chatsworth but if I can add filename to my concatenate it will say "Chatsworth Seats"
From cell A1 to A10 I have the figure 5412587
In cell B1 I want the figure in Cell A1 to concatenate with the figure one but in cell B2 instead of figure one with figure two etc. etc.
So B1 will be 54125871, B2 54125872, B3 54125873 etc. etc.
the formula would be Concatenate(A1&1). I want the "one" in this formula to be increasing so in B2 will be Concatenate(B1&2) et.c etc.
The problem is that I dont want to add an extra column to replace the 1, 2, 3 etc. in the formula.
