Extract Data From Large Spreadsheet?
May 29, 2014
I have a very large spreadsheet that was exported from an ecommerce site with close to 1000 products. I have one column that I need to extract some text from. This column holds all of the html from the product description and is huge. I only need to extract the actual description of the product, but am having a very hard time figuring out how to do it. I've tried using the mid, left, and right function; but not all of the html is the same so it's not really working the way I need it to.
I have multiple tags throughout the html that I can use with the mid function, but there is more than one occurrence of them. So, how can I tell it to start at the 4th occurrence? I've spent countless hours searching, but I'm a complete novice when it comes to excel and I don't even know what to search for. I end up looking through sites that explain how to pull the Y out of XYZ, which is what I need, just on a much larger (and more complicated) scale.
It was suggested that I set up a macro that will find the 4th occurrence of the word, and then uses the mid function to pull the data out, but when I try to find the word, it says it doesn't exist even though I can see it right in front of me.

I am creating a spread sheet with a large amount of data.
In column a I have a list of managers, in B I have a list of employees and C, I have a list of activities that have been recorded throughout the day.
What I want to do is create a list (on a new sheet) so in column A that would bring back all the managers. Then in column B, bring back the employee that is tied to the manager from column A and finally in column C, bring back the activity that is tied to the employee.
I know how I can do this by doing list validation with INDIRECT, but with the large amount of data that I have this would take forever in a day.
Is there an easier and quicker way to do this?

I have a large spreadsheet which contains multiple rows of rate data by employee. I have sorted by effective date with most recent date on the top to get the most recent rate of pay, however, is there a way or formula to be able to identify or extract the previous rate of pay after that? I have included a sample below. There are different #'s of rows of rate of pay based on how long someone has been in company, as well as different rates of pay and effective dates.
Employee #
Name
Rate of Pay
Eff Date

I work with Excel 2010 and have a very large spreadsheet with data that I need to manipulate in several different ways. I have been filtering and then cutting and pasting but this is very time consuming . Is there a way to extract specific data from the spreadsheet and transfer it to different worksheets? I don't really know how to use macros.

I have a large spreadsheet which I need to split into individual workbooks by reference to a particular column.
Rather then doing this manually and splitting the data out one at a time - I would like a macro to do this for me.
I am a novice excel user.

My Excel Spreadsheet has columns named "Hospital Name | Overview | Address | Phone | Fax | Contact Person 1 | Contact Person 1 Title | Contact Person 2 | Contact Person 2 Title | Contact Person 3 | Contact Person 3 Title"
There is the list of hospitals starting from "Abbott Northwestern Hospital". I have two things in my mind to extract the information. If you click on the first hospital name "Abbott Northwestern Hospital". Below is an example text which I would like to transfer it automatically in columns given above;
This text should go in column named "Overview":
Abbott Northwestern Hospital bring twins into the Twin Cities -- along with triplets, quadruplets............
This text should go in column named "Address": 800 E. 28th St.Minneapolis, MN 55407
This text should go in column named "Phone": 612-863-4000
This text should go in column named "Fax": 612-863-5667
This text should go in column named "Contact Person 1": Jeffrey D. (Jeff) Peterson
This text should go in column named "Contact Person 1 Title": President
This text should go in column named "Contact Person 2": Daryl Schroeder
This text should go in column named "Contact Person 2 Title": VP Operations
This text should go in column named "Contact Person 3": Sandy Schmitt
This text should go in column named "Contact Person 3 Title": VP Strategic Development, Allina Hospitals and Clinics

I am trying to write some code that will extract several pieces of data from MSN Money and print into a spreadsheet.
So could outline the code (or the general idea) that would be needed to extract one data point from the internet (an example using MSN money would be great). I haven't been able to find a simple example that highlights how this works in VBA without the extraneous confusion.
To be clear, I don't want to use macros or the standard excel query tools as these won't, I believe, scale well and serve my purpose as I build up into extracting much more data.
(For example, I want to know how to extract 2011 revenue from this page: [URL] ........)

I have a folder with multiples excel sheets
Destination : C: Project CustomerExcel
I would like to extract and compile the information contained in these cells:
a5,c5,a6,c6,c7,a14,g14,e16,g16,e18,i18,a20,g20,h22,j22,h24,l24 all the sheets.
New sheet would contain the information of each sheet eg. Column A2= file name
And Row B2 to R2 or whatever will be the corresponding cells mentioned above for each cell. The code I have only brings back the file name but only a5 from the range but not the rest.
VB:
Sub MergeAllWorkbooks()
Dim SummarySheet As Worksheet
Dim FolderPath As String
Dim NRow As Long
Dim FileName As String
Dim WorkBk As Workbook
Dim SourceRange As Range
[Code] .....

My problem is that whilst dealing with large datasets, i'd like to be able to create a macro which will give me a pop up box to input different types of keys words to search within a dataset. Once these keys words have been found, i would like excel to highlight the entire line so it can be extracted into a new worksheet.

I need to be able to convert a large spreadsheet to pdf for sending to a commercial printer. The spreadsheet is a family tree and covers an area a1 to ca107. The printers normally do the conversion from an emailed copy of the .xls file but charge for this.
Printing will be done on a wide carriage printer so the pdf has to be one sheet not a large number of a4. I have a copy of Acrobat but cannot work out how to get the spreadsheet to save as one sheet.

I have created a sample spreadsheet (the real data is sensitive) but I am basically faced with a spreadsheet of many columns of which I would like to remove the 4th,5th, 8th,9th, 12th, 13th etc...
So every 3rd column starting from Column B, and also every 3rd starting from Column C, (every 3rd, and every 3rd + 1 starting from B?), it's obvious what I'm after from the spreadsheet I've provided.
Unfortunately manually isn't an option, this needs doing every week, and it goes all the way across to column HZ!

I have multiple large spreadsheets of questionnaire data. Responses are as %'s
What I would like to do is use conditional formatting to pick out the top 3 of each set of questions per column not including 0% (if it falls in the top 3). Using different shades of green in the cell background and a white font.
so.....
The spreadsheets are up to 3000 rows long and up to column BB wide. The sets of questions are of random length spaced by an empty row. So question 1 may have 11 parts to it, each taking up a row so 12 rows in total. Question 2 may have 5 parts taking up row each so 6 rows in total...............Question 80 may have 7 parts so 8 rows in total and on and on.
What I have been doing is working down the first column of responses and manually adding the conditional formatting. Then using the format painter to copy across the relevant rows and columns. For example if Question one was from c5:bb26 I would format c$5:c$26 with the top three then use format painter to drag across to bb5:bb26 ...

I have a large spreadsheet with over 50 columns. Many colleagues use the sheet and often use the format, hide, column function to hide columns they do not need but then the next user has to unhide them and re-hide others until they are left with the different columns they require.
Is there anyway of creating a menu which allows users to select from a list of all the columns those they wish to display, all the others therefore being hidden.

I'm have Excel 2010 and Windows XP. Each week I get 3 spreadsheets and each has data unique to it. Each spreadsheet has a week number column which is common to all three. I want to combine the three worksheets into one and make create several dynamic charts for management. How should I organize a large spreadsheet? In addition to my week number I have a host of other date fields. Some of the data I get is (1) vehicle VIN numbers (2) City/State/Country (3a) I break up the VIN to give me vehicle type (3b) year of assembly (3c) car type (3d) number of doors (4) mileage (5) complaint (7) defect code etc. etc. What are the do's and don't when setting up a large spreadsheet? I have data by week which goes back to 2006 and so my date fields go top-down. I inherited the three spreadsheets and would like everything under one roof, so to speak. One spreadsheet which I can make my charts.

I have a large spreadsheet (1000-plus entries) that all have about 10 or 15 columns of information (product title, product number, etc).
I also made a form that I want to use as a master form, where all the titles will not change.
What I am wanting to do is, by going off the product number, when you click it, this pre-made master form will pop up, and all the information that was located on the large spreadsheet for this product number will be inserted where it is designated to be on the master form.
While I could probably do something like this through Access, we need to keep it on Excel, and in the same workbook so that it will automatically update things once I put a new number or input onto the large spreadsheet.

i have some large reports that i get each day and have to sort into date time order and only keep the newest occurance based on column 2
at the moment i have a vba that converts the list to space delimetd columns, then selects all sorts into date time order, then deletes dupliactes as of column 2 keeping the most recent,
is there a more efficient way just to keep the most recent occurance and removing the rest
example file. so the 2nd row would be what i am left with

I have inherited a series of Word reports containing links to charts in several Excel files. I can tell by the link in Word that one of the charts is named 'Chart 6'. Is there an easy way to locate which chart in the Excel file is 'Chart 6' (and on and on for all of the other charts linked in the Word doc)? There are upwards of 21 charts in each Excel file linked to each of the Word reports. I am using 2007 but the files are in 2003 format because of limitations of the program from which the data comes for the charts.

I have a very large spreadsheet that is a consolidation of approximately 105 separate of contacts lists. The new consolidated spreadsheet contains demographic data, and a column for the name of each of the 105 lists. Each contact in the consolidated list had an "X" placed in the column if they were a member of that particular list. Each contact can be in more than one list. This is not very useful for me.
Here's a visual representation of the current list along with what I need:
FName
LName
Address
Phone
City
List1
List2
List3
List4
List5
List6
[Code] .....
I would like to add a column to the spreadsheet and call it "Source"
And then have a macro or VB script to do the following:
1. As shown above, put the column name (ie "List2") in the "Source" column whenever there is an "X" in that row for the corresponding Column.
2. Because each contact can be in more than one list, I need to append the column names so that "Source" column contains all of the column names (Lists) that had an "X"
3. Once all of the list names have been added to the "Source" column, I will delete the list columns.

I have a large order spreadsheet with 3 date related columns. One for customer requested delivery date, one for factory quoted delivery date and one for actual delivery date.
I want to be able to set something up that if it gets near either the requested or quoted delivery date (by say a week), that the cell flags red so it's a visual reminder to check whether the order has been dispatched etc.

Usually I use data connections (using http://www.....) to pull several worksheets(tables) from another spreadsheet. Currently I had a set of worksheets that created in an unstructured manner, the tables are not entered from Row 1 (see attached mockup). Besides using VBA programming, if there a simple way to connect and extract these tables to a fresh spreadsheet for computation. So the users can continue to perform data-entry and this consolidated spreadsheet will refresh whenever open for reporting and visualisation.

I used to use Excel many many years ago for all my basic business databases and pivot table reports (so was at a basic competency level) and want to use it again but it has been quite a while and I can't remember how to do the following.....
I want to build a database of sales and purchase info in say 'sheet 1' - let's say 30 different headed columns and then many lines of different information under each column.
In 'sheet 2' I want to create an invoice template of my own design (I can do easily) for printing.
This template will need to extract say 10 bits of information from a particular row and then put them in a certain place on this sheet.
How can I type in one piece of information in a cell on sheet 2 (say the invoice or line number of the database) and that will then trigger all the other needed information from that particular line in sheet one onto this template?
I know it can be done but for life of me can not remember the formulas to use for these other cells in sheet 2 based on the info put in that one 'trigger' cell

I have two spreadsheets, one gives me the beginning and end of civil twilight as a measure of day vs. night. The spreadsheet has Date/Time in the first column, and the value 45 in the 2nd column when it is night. The second spreadsheet has also 2 columns with date/time and body temperatures of a squirrel. I want to get basic statistics (mean and standard deviation) of the squirrel's nocturnal body temperature, that is for times when it is night (value 45). The tricky part is that Date/Time of both spreadsheets are different. The procedure has to recognize that the date/time of body temperature lies between the beginning and end of the value 45 blocks of the first spreadsheet.

Often I need to add data from one spreadsheet to the appropriate places on another spreadsheet. For example:
Sheet A has 10,000 records with these fields: id#, name, address, place of employment.
Sheet B has 5,000 records these fields: id#, GPA, college major, type of degree.
Some of the records in B contain information for the same id#'s as sheet A. I want to add this information together so that a Sheet C will have these fields: id#, name, address, place of employment, GPA, college major, type of degree.

I use excel and would like to know how to copy a large volume of address data but at the same time filtering out irrelevant data placed under each other in a row, in this case, air compressors air conditioning web address etc ( see below for example). I need the first 5 lines only. The rows of unwanted data are irregular i.e some have 10 lines, others 5 , and others 2 or one line which makes using a formula difficult as there is no consistency. The data eventually need to be placed horizontally in columns to be compared to other address lists. To make matters worse, the text data has been merged and wrapped.
