Distributing Information From One Cell Into Multiple Cells?
Apr 22, 2009
I imported a CSV file into Excel, and the data from the CSV file all ligned up into one column. For example: I have (date, price) both in one column. I need to separate these values into two respective columns.
I am receiving a new report from an external system. Unfortunate the system delivers many information within one cell, and it is not possible to reconfigure. These information are separate by a semi-colon or a semi-colon + space. separate the information in separate cells?
I downloaded a massive dataset in .csv format to work with. My first problem is that I'm having trouble sorting the dataset. When I open the .csv-file every bit of information comes up in the A-column instead of having INFORMATION1 in the A-column INFORMATION2 in the B-column and so on.
ive had to retype this so please bear with me. ive utilised the resources of this site before but ive come to the time where i need to ask a question of my own.
now i will refer to my attached document as what im trying to achieve.
my project is to create membership cards for our social club at work, out of a list of people we have on our manifest.
If you refer to column A, this is where i will dump the manifest of members as time progresses (keeping in mind that more names will be added to this list as it goes).
What i am hoping to achieve, is to start at Cell A2 (highlighted in yellow). For the example the membership name is "a". i want to hit the macro button and the following will occur.
1. data "a" from Cell A2 will be copied to B2 (highlighted in green) and G6 (highlighted in blue). This moves the name from being on the unregistered list over to a membership card and to the registered list, which allows me to cross check that im not doubling up on names with new applicants and current members.
2. once this occurs, i was cell A2 to delete and cell A3 to be moved up, so now, cell A3's data "b" (highlighted in orange) will be moved to A2.
3. a similar process as point 1 will now occur, where A2 will be moved to the highest empty cell in Column B, which would be B3 now. It will also copy to G18 into the 2nd membership card.
4. this process occurs until column A is empty in A2.
5. i wish to really only have an A4 page worth of membership cards before i print, so i wish to be able to "reset" the membership card boxes, so that instead of the membership cards continuing all the way down the worksheet, it will do say 12, then print, then start back in the 1st box. Ideally this is a loop so that it occurs until there are no more names in Column A.
This is a huge feet for me as an idea because ive never gone beyond using basic recorded macros, however im the type who just HAS to learn how to do stuff, so i will lap up any information or assistance i can recieve from anyone here.
I have this data inputted into excel sheet: [URL] .......
This data is in tab called Shops, that has 8 columns of information. In another sheet called control, I have the shops names from row A in a list box. What I am trying to do is when whatever shop is selected in the list box then output the shop information from that row in 8 different cells in another sheet. I have a list of about 200 shops that I need to input.
So if we pick shop, Abc inc from the list box how can I get excel to look up the information in Abc inc in the shops tab of information and then display them on other cells in different sheets.
I have the same issue with making a list box of people names. I made the list box but I want to make it so it will display there phone number and e-mail address in 2 other cells once you pick there names. I had some luck using the if command on smaller list boxes but I can't figure out how to get multiple cells of information to come out correctly
I have excel from windows 8 and I am trying to copy the information on one cell on a sheet to multiple sheets. I tried the click on one tab hold shift and click on the last tab and type the information or press F2 or paste the information. Well, nothing works.
My question requires me to do a Vlookup question that needs to get the information in the next two cells over from the left most cell. In short I need to put info from two different cells from the same row and look up value into one cell.
This function seems to work well, however there is one thing I want to add to it somehow, and I can't seem to make it work. I want the cell to show a zero if there is no information in cells C13 and/or E13.
I tried all failed.We have about 160 different workbooks (one for each business unit) stored online. Staff enters information about their weekly revenue and expenses and here at head office I collect that information and consolidate them.What I am trying to do is that;1.) Create a master Workbook with ~160 worksheets (One worksheet for each unit) named exactly the same with other workbooks2.) And macro can pull the information from related files stored in a certain folderIt is very much like another members problem but I am not sure why I cant get that code working for me? [URL]
I've written an add-in that I need to give to about 30 people in my office. What's the best way to get the add-in saved in everyone's Windows Add-Ins folder?
I am trying to create a formula that will change the cell color in a range of cells in the row. I want the color to change based on the information in a particular cell appearing on a different sheet. What sheet the information is on determines the color the cells change to.
Example: I have 4 sheets I am working with. We will call them A; B; C; and D. I would like the color of cells A5-I5 on sheet D to change to red when the information in cell A5 from Sheet D shows up in any cell in column A on sheet A. If the information from cell A5 sheet D appears in any cell in column A from Sheet B then the color will be yellow, etc.
I've recorded a Marco copying and pasting information from one cell to other cells and some of the copying functions paste to two cells. I just need this to loop through all information I'm copying from the the new cells.
I have a number of identical workbooks used for data capture within the organisation, and need to continue development as time goes on.
Whenever I make a change to the core Excel functions of the workbooks I simply use a VBA procedure to conduct this change within each of the production workbooks, however I am stumped as to how I can achieve this for changes to the VBA code.
I have made some changes to the code held within one of the modules, and have also modified the form slightly. What I want to be able to do is run a VBA procedure that either updates the production workbooks from a central source, or by importing previously exported code / forms.
I have a number of sheets that have sheet macros that are identical.... i am changing the sheet macro in 1 and want to see if there is an automatic way to distribute it to the other sheets automatically.
I am trying to come up with a formula that will distribute the numbers as shown in this diagram:
To get the value of each number divide 42,000 by the last number in the pattern. For example the fifth column from the left would be 42,000/18. That means that each number would have a value of 2,333.33. By the time you reach the half way mark, nine in that example, you should have around 21,000, and the other 21,000 should be distributed between the last half (block 10 thru 18). The formulas would have to work on all of the patterns. Can anyone think of a way to match the pattern shown? It doesn't have to be exactly the same pattern just as long as the number of blocks remains the same for each half, and they total 21,000 for each half without going over 42,000 all together. There has to be 11 rows from top to bottom.
I am using conditional formating to show dates as a bar graph (nice little template I got from Vertex 42). I have fee dollars in another column that I would like to distribute according to those dates. I have posted a snapshot of the image here:
[URL]
how I can get the dollars to populate the cells according to the dates.
I have 2 dates and I'm looking to distribute the days between in the correct 'year' column (See below). my problem is with the units that have days that span +2 years.
I have a master spreadsheet with names and addresses and action dates all in one sheet tab.
I want to be able to get all the data that pertains to action dates in March 08, for example, onto a sheet tab in the same spreadsheet called march 08, and then all the data from action dates in april 08 to go to a sheet tab called april 08 etc etc
I have a sheet with 5 columns in use at the moment. Col: A - E . Col C has a Score and Col D has Game #
I'll like some code to look at each cell in col D and based on the Game# copy the value from the corresponding Col C to the Game column that is set up for that Game. ( I can set these up manually )
Col D can contain both numbers or text
Something like
IF D2 = 23, C2 = H2 IF D2 = 29, C2 = M2 IF D2 = "HOME", C2 = W2
etc etc
Col D can contain up to 20 possible numeric values & 8 possible text values
Also: Since I know all the 28 possible values that Col D can contain, how can I also get those columns set up automatically using VBA and SUM those columns that are set up with the numeric values at the last row.
I'm working with a dataset from a survey that has recently taken place. The original structure of certain questions in the survey were multiple choice. The ideal structure for these questions, in terms of variables, is that each possible option for the question (A,B,C,D... etc) have a separate value, with a 1 for yes (reported) and 0 for no (not reported). In other words, if Question1 has multiple possible answers (A,B,C...), then there should not be one variable created from this question, but rather, there should be a variable for each possible response: Question1_A, Question1_B, Question1_C, and so on. And within each of these variables, should be a 1 or 0 depending on if that option was reported or not.
The format I received the data in, though, was a single variable with a list of letters, (e.g. B,D,F) for each option reported.
Variable: Question1 Row 1 A, B, C Row 2 B, E, F Row 3 B, D, E
The data I have right now is housed in Excel prior to exporting to SPSS and/or STATA. I need to find a way to distribute these values into separate columns (variables). The tricky part, is that if I simply use "text to columns", it distributes the letters to new columns, but doesn't take into account that the first value reported might not be A. Is there a way to take the list of values in the single columns, and distribute them to assigned newly created columns?
I have a worksheet entitled 'Data'. In this worksheet there is a table consisting of 4 columns plus relevant data:
TABLE 1:
Project Benefit Type Delivered or Enabled Benefit
PJ1 Financial Delivered Saving of $4M over 24 months.
[code]....
I have been trying to create a formula that will enable me to pull data from the 'benefit' column(column D) so that the cell contents populate in a single cell in a table in a different worksheet.
TABLE 2:
Financial - Delivered Financial - Enabled Tech - Delivered Tech - Enabled Green - Delivered Green - Enabled
[code]....
So, as an example, I am hoping that a formula can be created which pulls the text from relevant cells in column D when criteria from columns A, B and C are met e.g. Tech benefits that are Delivered in PJ2 would populate cell E3 ('Tech -Enabled') in Table 2 with:
Worksheet 1: In column A I have a people's initials. In coumn B I have text boxes with miscellaneous text. (The same person could have multiple rows within this sheet.)
e.g. AAA blue BBB orange AAA round CCC smelly AAA elongated
Worksheet 2 I want to show: A2 = initials, B2 = first text box associated with that person, C2 = second text box (different row) associated with that person (if applicable), D2 = third text box (different row) associated with that person (if applicable), etc.
e.g. AAA blue round elongated BBB orange CCC smelly
I am having such a difficult time creating a macro that will reduce the 5+hours I have to spend each week manually copying & pasting all of this data. I making an IMMENSE difference in this worker bee's life!
I have a workbook with two sheets (Sheet1 & Sheet2). Sheet1 has license #'s in column A and the state that the license belongs to in column B like this:
COLUMN ACOLUMN B11111Alaska11112Alabama11113Arkansas11114Arkansas Sheet2 has three columns. Column A has the license #'s, column B has the state that the license belongs to and Columns C shows a line-of-authority tied to that license #.
I'm trying to write a macro that will compare the license # and state in Sheet1 to the license # and state in Sheet2. If it matches, append the contents of Column C to the corresponding row in Sheet1.
Here's the thing...Sheet2 contains the entries for all licenses in the company (so this table is HUGE). And there are multiple entries for each state license # (notice how there's two entries above for AK license # 11111 - one for the Property line and one for the Casualty line.
After my macro is run, I want Sheet1 to show all the lines-of-authority on a single line. So if I ran my macro on the above example, after it's run I would have this in Sheet1:
COLUMN ACOLUMN BCOLUMN C11111AlaskaProperty Casualty11112AlabamaProperty Casualty11113 ArkansasLife Health11114ArkansasLife Health
I have a column of cells with Customer info and address in each row, that I need to move into multiple columns. ie Cust name, acct #,address, city,state, zip the problem is ALL of the info for each customer is in ONE cell.To be clear, cell B1 has complete name address etc for one customer, B2 has the info for another, B3... on and on. To complicate matters as in the example, there is not a pattern in the lines. the first example shows the info beginning on the 2nd line of the cell, but the 2nd example shows info in the first line. I have tried the text to column fixed width. Didn't work because names and addresses are of varying lengths. Then I tried delimited, but there isn't a common separation between different data. I am using excel 2007. FYI I did go through many many threads and found some that were close to my problem but not close enough to work.

I need to match cells e3:h3 whenver the dates change in in cells c5:c9 and then put there result of cells b5:b9 into the corresponding cells of e5:h9.
Basically what I'm saying is that I want to keep a track of all previous pay amounts from each pay period. So when the next period changes the date it also copies the new pay amount to the corresponding date of the previous pay section.
share a macro to copy cells from range C20:C300 and paste them in C2 on multiple lines. If possible two lines gap between each cell's value when they are pasted in C2.
I have users filling in data in columns C and D, I need a macro which will select everything entered and lock those cells - well the catch is, if both columns have data. If column C or D are empty I need that row to remain unlocked. No sorting can occur as well.
I recently undertook an excel based knowledge test and whilst I haven't been informed of the answers/scores yet I have been frustrated with my inability to find the answer to what seemed like a simple question on the test....
Q: Without using copy and paste, put A1:H11 and its associated formulas and formats onto all 7 worksheets within the workbook.
Bearing in mind all questions on the test generally used only a few keystrokes, I felt fairly stumped and with copy and paste excluded from the options I am convinced I answered incorrectly. But the worst of it is I left fairly contently from the test and thinking I would get home and satisfy myself with the answer outlining a simple oversight on my part, have been shocked that I've been unable able to find one anywhere, is anybody able to put me out of my misery here as it's beginning to really bug me!
