I need to be able to paste information into excel and then get excel to read the characters to 50 and then move the other info to another line and do the same command again until it has read all the data and put it in lines of 50.
View 9 RepliesI'm trying to use conditional formatting to highlight cells in a column that have less than 8 characters.
I know the LAN function, but I don't know how to make it work for the conditional formatting.
I have 62,000 lines - and some of the cells contain 4 numbers, and some of the cells contain a sequence with two letters followed by 8 numbers
I want to count how many cells have the sequence of two letters and 8 numbers.
Everything Ive read so far has led me to using the LEN function, but that doesn't seem to be working too well for me.
Example: In D5 if I have AB00011111
Basically =LEN(D5) will tell me there is 10 characters in the cell - How do I get it to count the cells with only 10 characters and post the number of cells with 10 characters in column E1 for me.
I work for a localizer of text heavy software. Our developers normally use a converter to pull text out of a file and insert it into the program. This text is normally input into an Excel file since it has to correspond with files/locations in the program.
Since the space on the screen of the program is limited, we often face character limits when inputting text into Excel. Now, one cell might hold up to 255 characters, and I could restrict that with data validation, but within one cell I need to restrict each line (with a hard return) to 30 characters to fit on the screen.
So for example I have a row of cells that look like: ....
In one of my columns I need to count the characters (alpha/numeric AND blank spaces) in each cell. (Any that are over 300, I will need to manually reduce to under 300.) How can I do this? Basically I would simply like to know which cells exceed 300 characters.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm making a register and need to count the attendences (marked on the register as 1) and the number of authorised abcenses (marked on the register as AA).
I'm using the SUM function to count the attendences but wondered if they was a formula that would allow me to just count the AAs from the list.
We are in the middle of a system conversion and I need to make sure our data is not over the length of the maximum character count for certain fields in the new system. Is there any function in Excel that counts the # of characters in a cell or will highlight the cells that contain larger than a certain # of characters?

I am using Excel to create a parts list for a manufacturing assembly. I intend to have 6 categories (columns) for each part or instance. My problem is that the last (furthest right) entry will sometimes contain more characters than others. I want to limit the number of characters in the cells of this last column, and I have seen how to bump the remaining characters down to the next row(s) in the same column using the LEFT and MID formulas. This actually works very well for that purpose. However, I need to know how to force the next instance (row of 6 cell) to start together on the next available row.
The following images should better illustrate my question. First, I show the source data with the contents of cell F2 without further formatting. This cell contains more characters than I want making the column too wide for the printable space allowed. http://www.ozgrid.com/forum/attachme...1&d=1198374241
The next image shows the desired result with the extra characters from cell F2 moved to F3. (This data could actually fill up to 4 or 5 cells vertically.) Here, I have manually entered cells A4 through F5 for this illustration. I need to know how to automatically have A, B, C, D, & E move along with F. http://www.ozgrid.com/forum/attachme...1&d=1198374241
I have a cell in excel that has 5 lines of text and I would like to count how many characters there are in each line of the cell. Is there a formula/macro to count them?
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there an easy way of counting odd or even numbers in a row? I can't figure it out on countif, isodd, odd, count etc.
View 2 Replies View RelatedThis should be simple, but I am struggling with finding a way to use the search or find function to identify text characters. This is my situation, I have for example a cell that contains FW023 or D1234. I need to be able to count the number of characters that are text.
i would think I would be able to do it with the search or find function, but can't figure out how to get it to just count the number of text characters with in it.

I have a spreadsheet, a small section attached. There are near 20000 rows at present. I need to count the number of characters in B1 excluding any hyphen in b1. If a hyphen occurs in b on its own,the count is zero.If b cell is blank,i need a count of all characters in A.I need a formula I can autofill down.The count column is c and I have completed it manually to show what I mean.

i have a macro that copies info from cell in row A and uses that info to name the whole row, now if the name has a space between the words it uses _ (underscore) substition so i don't get an error (when row name is defined - you can't use any special characters or spaces) i was wondering if anyone can help me to add "-" besides the space
here is the macro

I'm working with a column that contains dates. The dates are pulled from a system that doesnt always have dates in the format
mm/dd/yyyy => 09/26/2014
but instead sometimes
9/26/2014
or
4/7/2014
i.e., 0's are missing.
I'm looking for a macro that inserts these missing 0's
**So I suppose the criteria should be that if the cell is 9 characters long (including the "/"s), then it adds a 0 as first character**
and
***the cells that are only 8 characters, in that case there would have to be insert 0 again as character 1, and 0 as character 4 (if 0 is already added as first)***
I'll attach a file that contains dates : test.xls
