I have 4 columns of text imported from a txt file, so the cells appear as:......
What I would like to do is combine the information from a row of cells into a new cell. For example:......
I can't seem to find a way to do it though. If I allow the cells to be imported as one cell (rather than 4) it inserts spaces between the groups of numbers, which I don't want.
In column A, there are 13000 plus entries mixed with General and Text Formats.:
12234
1223
01234
the cell containing number starting with Zero is formatted as "text". The problem is that there are certain spaces given after some entries in certain cells. How those can be located and deleted.
I have multiple columns with many rows of unique text in each. Here is an example of what the 1st few rows of column a and b might look like:
A___________B
hboc______dds
jk________optg
hbv_______pl
FIRST:
I would like to be able to sort the rows by the character length in a column. So, it would look like this (if sorted by 1st column):
A___________B
jk_________optg
hbv________pl
hboc_______dds
Second.........
I am using the following code to import an excel file into an existing sheet. The problem I am having is the way some of the cells are being imported. Some of the cells have spaces before and after the number.
I need to delete the leading and trailing spaces for each cell affected. Is there a code I can incorporate to do this? BTW…the columns effected are columns F & G.
I have a list in Column A" Job List" (the amount of entries will change based on job openings). There are some cells that are blank; randomly throughout. I need to create a new Column B "Current Jobs List" with no spaces. I have to do this weekly and each time I update my "Current Jobs List" from the new data in the "Job List" without any spaces.(I do not want to just do a filter) .

I'd like to create a formula that pulls text between two spaces. For example:
"Execute Transaction ZZ01 " - I'd like the formula to output ZZ01
Execute Transaction is always at the beginning of the text I'd like to pull. So another example:
"Execute Transaction ZZ01_another_test " - I'd like the formula to output ZZ01_another_test
Execute Transaction can either be Execute Transaction or Execute transaction as well.
Is there an easy way to do this with a formula?
I have a range of cells in column A... it's called SPACE. The code should be if the value in each cell is equal to "1" and select the NEXT row and INSERT an empty space.
Then keep going down the range to find the next "1", and add a space... but if it's not equal to one, keep going. Essentially I'm grouping data, with new data sets being indicated by the "1", and need to put an empty row in between the data sets.
I have a cel that has about 100,000 phone numbers and at the end of some and before sum, there are spaces added to end. is there a formula, or a way to take everything away except for the 10 digit number?

Also, the gaps between the rows is not consistent.

I am trying to remove spaces in front of a number (currently formatted as text)
I have tried "Text to Columns", "Trim", and other suggestions in previously threads.
I have copied bank statement amounts from an e-mail and the $ amounts have one Space in front of them. When I use the Trim function, and then a paste special, I still cannot get rid of the space, and so cannot add up the amounts in this column.
Ex:
*7 Dec 2007*DEPOSIT*3,917.63
*7 Dec 2007*DEPOSIT*1,890.58
I've got a problem with a report that we need to manipulate in Excel. the report details the man hours each of our analysts has spent on calls and reports in the following format HH:MM:SS. However, the report comes out with a space after 'SS', so I need to trim this in order for excel to calculate total and average fix times. Cells are formatted to custom [H]:MM:SS.
With over 200 records requiring trimming per report, is there a formula that I can apply to this? I have tried =trim("Cell number") but this doesn't work.
I have columns that are defined with these width's:
A - 9B - 1C - 12D - 12
I need a macro that would add spaces to the right of the cell if the cell does not have number of characters of the lenght of the column width.
For instance:
Cell A1 has 5 characters so it would need 4 spaces.
Cell A2 has 7 characters so it would need 2 spaces.
Cell B1 has 1 character so it would NOT need a space.
Cell B2 has 0 characters so it would need 1 space.
Assume cell A1 contains a set of words. If cell B1 contained the following formula, the contents of cell A1 will be shown in B1, minus the last word.
=If(ISNUMBER( FIND(" ",A1)),LEFT(A1, LOOKUP(32768,FIND(" ",A1,ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(A1)))))),A1)
However, the space or gap before the word that has been removed will be present in cell B1.
eg. If A1 = "how are you", then B1 will = "how are ".
I need this space to be removed too.
ie. B1 = "how are"
I have a sub that works just fine, but I need to test it for blanks.
Sub AddToComment()
Dim rCell As Range
Dim cCom As Comment
Sheets("Support Detail").Select
With Range("e5")
.ClearComments
Set cCom = .AddComment
End With
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
For Each rCell In Range("a4:a23")
cCom.Text Text:=rCell.Text & " " & cCom.Text
Next rCell
End Sub
I only have 1 line of test in the a4:a23 range - so I'm getting 19 spaces before the text in the comment. If the cells within a4:a23 are blank, how do I ignore them? I'm not sure how to interpret this code, so I'm sure it's probably easy:
cCom.Text Text:=rCell.Text & " " & cCom.Text

I have cells in a sheet containing varying numbers of items separated by semicolons. I want to convert these to columns using text to columns. The trouble is there are spaces after each semicolon, and I don't know how to get rid of them. I believe this may be compounded by the fact that the cells containing varying numbers of items. When I convert to columns I don't want each cell in the new columns to start with spaces. I'm attaching an example of what I mean (sanitized with fast food joint names).
