have a set of numbers ranging from 1-25 in column A1-A25 in descending order. I want to have a column B1-B25 which outputs numbers in column A up to a maximum of 5.
Eg.
column A
25, 6, 5, 3, 1, 0
I want in column B
5, 5, 5, 3, 1, 0
Is there a way to make the find and replace function not stop when a cell is too large? Instead, make it pass over the large cells and move on to the next cells? Is there a function that gives the number of characters in a cell? If so, one could sort by cell size and then work around the cells that are too large?

I have data in a sheet in Excel 2007 that I am trying to move to another sheet in the same workbook.
I am using Vlookup to move the info from one sheet to the other.
However it seems that if the data in the original sheet cell is too large I get a #VALUE! error.
If I copy and paste the info from the cell it is fine.
How do I copy the information (hyperlink) in the original sheet cell to the destination sheet cell?
Here is the formula that I am using.
=HYPERLINK(VLOOKUP(A67,'verified1-4-12'!B:E,4,0))

trying to limit the number of characters entered in a cell.
I clicked on Custom then =LEN(A10)=6 which works when i enter more or less than 6 characters, however it lets you paste in something which has more than 6 charters.
I think it's an easy one but for the life of me I can't get around it. ccasionally while re-typing data in fields with the intention of saving-as a new file, an error message appears saying "no more than 20 characters" This happens even when the number of characters is LESS than 20! I have tried clearing cell contents, copying & pasting, re-setting conditions/parameters for columns/rows etc., and nothing seems to work with any consistency. Instead of looking for a work-around solution I'd like to find the actual corrective action.

Currently using LEN to simply count 50 characters then it tells the user that they need to move onto the next line.
Is it possible with VBA that after 50 characters reached in the selected cell it forces the user into the next cell below and so on in a loop?
I am suffering with split a long descriptions into 3 cells with criteria 1st cell not more than 30 characters, 2nd cell not more than characters and 3rd cell will locate the remaining characters there. I think this is quite easy if I use LEN/MID/RIGHT/LEFT formula. However, I wish the formula will smart enough to split word by word. refer to example below:-
"My lecturer replied, that i really did very bad in final, nothing's gonna change my plan."
If I use left(A1,30) formula, the result is "My lecturer replied, that i re"however, the word "really" is cut half way. I am finding the formula that split description to not more than 30 characters and won't cut my string and become incomplete word. Expected result should be 1st cell "My lecturer replied, that i", then "really did very bad in final," at 2nd cell.
When you want to use Data Validation to limit the entry of the number of characters to a cell does this apply only to the cell that you are entering the characters or can it also apply to a cell that contains a LEN(A1) formula, for instance? Also,does the Data Validation limitation function includes spaces as well? Will the message appear while you are entering the characters (when it has reached the limit) or will it wait until you have hit Enter?

That can't be done because the formula in the resultant cell takes text from two other cells in addition to the input cell. I need to limit the overall text length to, let say, 50 characters.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a UDF for a lookup_occurrence formula (thanks to Dave), and I was wondering if it was possible to tweak the range it looks at with if statements.
I have a formula like this =Lookup_Occurence(B13, INDIRECT($N$5), 1,1,5) where N5 says exit card 1.
I need it to only look at a certain rows within exit card 1 depending on the value entered in I5.
If value I5 says Period_1 it will only look in rows 12:46.
If value I5 says Period_2 it will only look in rows 48:82 etc.
I believe I need to modify the xl look part of the code with if statements.
Below is the code. I am wondering if I can replace the xlLook line with nested if statements. If I5="Period_1 then rows 12:46" etc.

I'm a newbie to these forums, but I had a question that I couldn't find an answer to in the search feature. So, I joined and here I go....
I have a whole lotta data (nearly 600 "pages" of data) that I pasted into Excel. Unfortunately, it's formatted poorly and I'd like to make it nice and purty.
What I started to do was to create a 2nd sheet and then do an "=" and then click the spot with the 'group name' and then another "=" underneath it and then clicked the spot with the 'premium' info, etc.
After a couple of these, I figured that I could simply make a formula to help me out with it. Please see the attached screen captures for some detail on my issue.
Can someone help me create a formula or a way to count a certain cell and then 52 cells underneath it and display it?
In any case, what I have is a set of cells that may or may not be filled, and which frequently get changed around. As I need the data counted in a specific way for "shenanigans", I am... getting quite tired with having to manually adjust this whenever my co-workers decide to adjust something (and I have been told that throwing bricks at them until they stop is not a valid option).
Basically, I want to count the cells in a way so that for every time a cell is filled, a counter repeats the previous number before continuing the sequence.
I.e

My issue is that I have no idea how to get this to count right. I know the theory of how I want this to work, but I just have no idea how to get it to function. The logic of how I want it to count is below, but, again, I just have no idea how to go about getting it to work right without manually typing in the counter, and without ending up with the code working wrongly when there's two filled cells at the top.

I'm adding some necessary code to the beginning and end of some cell contents in Format | Cells | Custom and I seem to be coming up against a character limit.

I have a workbook with 3 sheets. Sheet 1 contains a month of data with Customer Name and Product Code, and quantity shipped (columns A, B, and C). Sheet 2 contains Product Code and quantity produced (Column A and B). In Sheet 3, I have the customer name listed once by running a pivot table against the data in Sheet 1. I need to show the quantity produced for each customer in Sheet 3 but not exceed the quantity produced for that Product Code in Sheet 2 even if the quantity shipped was greater. For example:
Sheet 1
Customer A - 100 shipped of Product Code X
Customer B - 200 shipped of Product Code X
Sheet 2
Product Code X - 150 produced
Sheet 3
Customer A - 100 total
Customer B - 50 total
Customer B would only be allocated 50 as there was only 150 produced and Customer A was allocated 100 of the total 150 produced, leaving 50 to allocate to Customer B.
