i would like to be able to use a macro that will delete all columns in the sheet that do not contain one of 5 pieces of text in cells 1 to 20.
It is driving me mad, i have managed to find macros that delete empty columns, but they do not remove the columns that do not contain any of the 5 words. often the cells are empty down to row 5, when the data starts
In column E of row 1 I have one column with a long line of text containing information in that should be separated into cells for the following fields:
Year, make, model, drive, part, name, phone, text, email, location, notes, stream, date/time, disclaimer
Here is an example of the text in column E:
Year: 2001 Make: Nasa Model: big spaceship Drive:
Automatic 2 Wheel Drive Spaceship:
4 12.7 Liter ----------------------------- Part: Hood -----------------------------
[Code] .........
The data in each field can be different lengths, and I would like to take pieces of text out of Column E, and put it in other columns in the row.
Each field has its own column, and I would like to copy the data for that field from the column containing all data to its respective column.
=MID(E1,SEARCH("Year:",E1)+5,SEARCH("Make:",E1)-SEARCH("object",E1)+5)
The formula above was inspired by an "extract text between two strings" post, but will not work.
I tried to make a formula that would extract everything between the strings "Notes:" and "Team Stream:" or for example, so I could get the result "Thank you for using our excel forum! thesmartestpeopleever.com" or "Year" and "Make" so I could get the result "2001" if using the example above. I was not able to do it.
I have attached a sample photo and an excel file.
How do I separate/extract each columns data to the appropriate column?

My table is as follows:.....
If the columns A, B, and C were constant and never changed and only column H changes from job to job, how do I: SUM the TOTAL number of pieces (pcs per X qty) if the value in column B is "A"? I need to do this without creating a seperate mutliplication column for the sum of the pieces. It all needs to be done without adding any new columns.
Note: The "Bread Type" column will ALWAYS be in row 1, BUT will ALWAYS be in a different column letter, so I would like this macro to find the "Bread Type" column by name rather than by column number. All criteria should NOT be case sensitive.
In the example below, rows 2, 4 & 5, have the text "Wheat" or "Rye" in the "Bread Type" column, therefore, all 3 of these entire rows should be deleted. Yes, I do mean the ENTIRE row, wipe these rows off the face of the earth
I have a spreedsheet that has both numerical data and text data in column "A". I need to delete all the rows that have text in Column A and keep the rows that have numerical data.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI receive thousands of raw data every week as shown in the excel sheet {raw data}
I would like to use a macro that could automatically sort the raw data like the format in the excel sheet {template}
For example:
Looking at the raw data and compare with the template, i would have to delete the whole columns that have (BU_CODE , EAN_CODE, SUPPLIER_CODE, SUPPLIER_NAME , BRAND_NAME, and SUB_CATEGORY_CODE) and add in columns and name it as Principal, Cateogry , Brand and range).
Delete entire Row if cell in column contains "Dog" in it.?

I want to delete any/all rows from a worksheet (named UK) which have the word "VAN" in column P. I have tried using a 'For Each... Next statement' in a macro, but always get a debug box "Run Time Error '91' Object variable or With block variable not set". What am I doing wrong? my code follows
Sheets("UK").Select
Dim cell As Range
For Each cell In Worksheets("UK").Range("P10:P200").Cells
Cells. Find(What:="VAN", _
After:=ActiveCell, _
LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
LookAt:=xlPart, _

I am trying to create a macro that will delete everything below a certain word.
The code I tried to use is the following. This produced an error:
If Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(180, 1)). Find(" Interest Expense").Row = 0 Then
iStart = Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(180, 1)).Find(" NET INCOME").Row + 1
Else
iStart = Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(180, 1)).Find(" Interest Expense").Row + 1
End If
Rows(iStart & ":" & FinalRow).Delete shift:=xlUp
I'm trying to extract pieces of a part number and place each section in another cell. It's kind of like a text to columns, but in a formula and removing part of the data. This is what I'm starting with: Cell 3A: HB149E.505
I'm trying to figure out a formula that will fill the following which are currently blank:
Cell 3A: HB149
Cell 3B: .505
Cell 3A will always have 5 digits prior to the decimal and 3 digits afterward so that is not a problem.
I'm using Excel 2010). I have column I, which is the sum of columns A and B (first and last names of patrons), and I have used conditional formatting to identify all duplicates in column I with red text. I would now like a macro to find red text in column I and then delete the corresponding rows.
I've been looking around on the web for a while and have cobbled together this code stolen from other people's macros:

When I run it, I get the following error:

I am trying to move through the worksheets and delete all columns with "Accession" in contained in them. I have to do this with an external macro as the spreadsheet with the data is created from another program. I tried this and get an 'Object or With block variable not set' error and the debug highlights the Cells. Find line of the code.
Also, the number of columns could be variable within the spreadsheet as it is compiled by the other program.
Sub DelAccessionNum()
Dim Wrkst As Worksheet
For Each Wrkst In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
Cells.Find(What:="Accession", After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt:= _
xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious, MatchCase:=False _
, SearchFormat:=False).Activate
On Error Goto Completed:
Selection.EntireColumn.Delete Shift:=xlToLeft
Completed:
Next
End Sub
I have a homework assignment where I have a list of companies with the products they have with one other company. The original company and their products are listed on the same row, with a dollar value assigned to the product. So Cell A1 has company name, cell B1 has product a, and Cell c1 has the amount they pay for that product. Is there a function I can use to split that one row into 3 separate rows, to show the company name 3 times and the product and dollar amount as it's own row, next to the company?

I need a code that will delete a row if it has a specific text in a specific column.
In this case in column W if there is anything that starts with '>TC' I need that entire row deleted that its in.
I have an formula if statement that returns "deletethisrow" if the test is true.
For every occurence of "deletethisrow" I want to delete the row. The number instances will be variable each time I run the file. So maybe it will find that string, maybe it will find 10 instances. I want to do some kind of loop that won't error out when it cannot find "deletethisrow", but will delete the rows for each instance where it does find this string.
I know it was verbose, but if I just do a loop for a fixed number of loops it will error out if it runs out of rows to delete.
I would like a macro to find the columns named "apple" and "peach" and delete them. These would always be in row 1 but would always be in different column letters which is why I want the macro to simply find these columns by their name and not by their column letter.
And yes, I do mean the entire column altogether, shifting entire columns to the left. Wipe it off the face of the earth

I have a column of data with letters in each cell, no numerical, only alpha. Now, some of those cells contain the letters "adj sub" as part of the text string in each cell.

I want to delete rows whose cell description does not contain "adj sub" as part of the text in the cell.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'd like a macro that does 3 things..
1. Find the last row (cell) of data in the "Customer Number" column. This search should be by the name "Customer Number" rather than by column letter because the column that "Customer Number" will be in can change.
2. Find the column named "Purple" (also by name for same reason)
3. If the "Purple" column has no blank cells in those same number of rows as the "Customer Number" column, delete the whole "Purple" column.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm about to start doing it manually, just wondering if there is a way to use functions in excel to do this automatically:
Here's my situation:
I have one column A, and it has 25 000 email addresses, 1 per each row, so 25 000 rows.
Then i have in another column ''B'' with 3000 email addresses.
I need to delete these 3000 email addresses from the master 25 000 list.
Is there a way to do it automaticaly?
I imagine if there was a way to set a script to delete values in Column A found in Column ''B''.

Here is what Im trying to do: I have a VERY large excel file (15,000+ lines) that has groups of text (this is all in one column)
I want excel to search for the cells with "UID" and delete that row plus every non-blank row above it. (so it deletes the entire "group") Here is example layout of what Im working with. The end result should be only "groups" without the text "UID" following it.

Now Im thinking this may be impossible, but I've seen some crazy things done with excel macros and was really hoping someone can help me out. Otherwise Im doing this manually for 15,000 lines of text.
