Formula To Join Several Text Strings Together
Jan 17, 2007
I am using the following formula to join several text strings together:
=CONCATENATE(B4,$A$1,C4,$A$1,D4,$A$1,E4,$A$1,F4)
(in the above $A$2 is just a few spaces in order to seperate the test)
I was wondering if there is a way of joing text strings that will align all info properly? Right now it just joiins them together but visually that is not really very appealing.
This is an example of what I am getting:
11 111 1111 11 111
22 2222 22 2222 222
333 33 3333 333 333
This is how I want it:
11 111 1111 11 111
22 2222 22 2222 222
333 33 3333 333 333

I have been trying to use the concatenate function to join some text strings to a cell on a different sheet - From an input sheet -Sheet 1 named Input, to a Notification Form (Sheet 2). Although the Function Argument display tells me that it will display the result I want it actually displays just the formula. It's a very simple thing
Address 1 10 Downing Street
Address 2 Westminster
Address 3 London
Postcode SW1A 1AA
I want displayed as: 10 Downing Street, Westminster, London, SW1A 1AA in a single merged cell. All I am getting on the Form is =concatenate(Input!c25," ",Input!c26," "Input!c27," "Input!c28). I feel sure that it is a very easy solution but I can't arrive at it!!

Column A2:A100 contains part description various len lengths max is 50 min is 22.
Column B2:B100 contains scrap qtys.
In column C2:C100 in need to join the text in A and B.
i want the scrap qty's all to be alligned i.e level, as column C is shown in a userformlist box.
meaning joining text/values would look like this (ignore full stops)
dispenser calsberg .........70
tap beer......................... 80
cowl................................100
instead of
dispenser calsberg 70
tap beer 80
cowl 100

I am trying to write a formula that filters on two txt strings. The table consists of only three columns an ID number, a subject field and a date&time column but the number of rows will change every week as new records are added.
What I would like to do is search for the start of text string then the end txt string compare the ID number to make sure they are the same then work out the number or work hours the call has been open for. This then needs to be repeated for all entries in the table. The table will contain many other txt strings that need to be ignored.

I have a database of approximately 250000 email addresses and I would like to see if there is some way to use Excel to analyse the strings in order to identify potential 'non-unique' individuals.
For example, if I have the following email addresses:
12345@example.com
12346@example.com
12347@example.com
or
example1@example.com
example2@example.com
etc
Is there some way of extracting common text strings, lets say where there is a difference of 1 character / digit between strings (rather than alphabetising and searching manually)?

I am looking for a way of creating the following conditioned concatenation.
I have two tables, let's call them "summary" and "detailed".
The "detailed" table is something like the following:
ID
VOL
001
01
001
05
[code]....
The "summary" table below gets info from the "detailed" table. The 'ID'is now unique. I'm looking for a formula on the 'VOL (concatenated)' column cells it should get all rows from the "detailed" table with the same ID and then concatenate the 'VOL' column results, comma separated:
ID (unique)
VOL (concatenated)
001
V01, V03, V05
002
V01, V04
003
V06
PS: I have people using this table with office 2003, so compatibility is necessary...

I am trying to change the value in a cell by referenceing it to another sheet. My cell is: Today it is 33F, have a nice day. Now, 33F should be called from another cell and should be inserted in this new cell. If I change the 33F in the other cell this change should be reflected in my text file.

I have a multipage control on a userform. On Page 8 of that multipage, I have label1, part of that label is modified by other parts of the program. This is done by the program writing to a sheet of Data and then the program pulls that info into this label. My question is,what is the correct format to populate the label?
see below: This is what I have in my Userform_Activate and Userform_Initialize subs:
CurrentVersion = Sheets("Data"). Range("N2").Value
Label1.Caption = "This will allow you to change the Caption of the UserForms through out the operational program. Some UserForms cannot be changed. The ending of" + Chr(32) + Chr(34) + "Automatic 2005 V" + Chr(32) + CurrentVersion + Chr(34) + Chr(32) + " will be added to what you enter below as default."
CurrentVersion is pulled off of the datasheet which is a number like 5.9.8.2. however it errors "Run time error 13 - type mismatch" I can only suspect the label1.Caption needs something like: Multipage8.label1.caption =

I have a column with numbers in each cell. I need to add the same three letters before each of the numbers. Example:
number in cell: 25067 I need it: ABC25067
I did a macro for it but had to do each one individually. I imagine there is a simple formula to do this automatically but I don't know enough to figure it out (despite reading up on it for the last hour!)

Join an array with Text elements to create a string that can be Evaluated
So for instance if I have Array("A", "B", "C") and I want to evaluate("=({" & Join(array, ",") & "})="A)"). Is there any way to do this without having to loop or push to a Named array first? I'll even take this evaluate thing if I can do it with text and numbers

For the following formula:
=”TEXT1”&”TEXT2”
The result is:
TEXT1TEXT2
Is there any kind of modifier that I can use to force the output to multiple lines, i.e.:
TEXT1
TEXT2
If this wasn’t a formula I could just use ALT+ENTER. Wrapping the text will not work because I need fixed break points not dependent on the text box width.

I am trying to reference text and another document. The text I want is " stock option expense negatively impacted 1Q:07 by:" and the number i want it to bring back is currently in the model as a percentage. However I would like to bring it back in basis points which would be the percentage times 10,000. So if its in the model as 0.4%, I'd like to bring it back as 40 bps. Here is the formula I am using that is insufficient.
="Stock option expense negatively impacted 1Q:07 by: " & TEXT([FOSL2.xls]QTR!$BK$34,"0") & " bps."

I had a hard time to put a suitable title to this query, not sure if above is good enough for my query. I am entering combination of text and number in a cell using a formula. I am wondering if it is possible to add formula which can format number such that it is displayed in accounting format. Example:
Expected output = Trial 1,000
Using this formula
="Trial "&Sheet1!A1
where A1 in Sheet1 = 1000
Output is Trial 1000

I have two cells. In cell A1 there is a text "(fi) = " and in A2 a number, for example 30. (fi) means a symbol for diameter (letter "f", using Symbol font). Is it possible to joint those two cells in third cell using formula "=A1&A2", maintaining original fonts? What i get is "f = 30", not "(fi) = 30".

I am trying to write a bit of code to go into a macro and as I am very much a leaner, I thought I would create the formula I need and record it, then copy in the relevant bit. However, I cannot even get the formula to work - never mind the macro bit!! The formula I am trying to do is something like this...
In column S:S
IF the first digit in R2 (and eventually R2 to R lastrow) = 1 to 3, concatenate Q2 (and eventually Q2 to Q lastrow) + "/" + "Q1"
IF the first digit in R2 (and eventually R2 to R lastrow) = 4 to 6, concatenate Q2 + "/" + "Q2"
IF the first digit in R2 (and eventually R2 to R lastrow) = 7 to 9, concatenate Q2 + "/" + "Q3"
IF the first digit in R2 (and eventually R2 to R lastrow) = 10 to 12, concatenate Q2 + "/" + "Q4"
Column R:R has the year and the first digit of Q:Q hold the month so I want to end up with 2007/Q1 etc.

I'm trying to convert a set of numbers between 1 and 9999 into text strings, with the number at the end as a four digit string, so 1 becomes "COLUMN0001", 123 becomes "COLUMN0123", etc. In excel, it would be easy - I would just use the text function and convert the number to a string and append it to the word COLUMN, but as far as I know, there isn't an equivalent function in excel and running excel functions in VBA is notoriously slow (especially as I will need to do this about 360,000 times).

I have a long OR function that I'm working on. The logicals for this change the search value from 1 to 9. Here is one of the logicals:
sumproduct(--isnumber(search(1,???)))=0
I need the "???" to be the arrays. The most complex of these will be: A1:C1&a2&c2&a3:c3 or is it
A1:c1,a2,c2,a3:c3 or perhaps another join method like
concatinate(a1:a3,a2,c2,a3:c3)
How do you join arrays to get the right result?

This is not related to macro - it's an excel question regarding wrapped-around text within a cell (i.e.: text brought onto next line by <Alt>+<Enter>)...
SayI have the following in a cell :
Car<Alt>+<Enter>
Truck<Alt>+<Enter>
Van
and say I want to add a figure (in this example 1A) to the first part of the cell and then another to the second line of wrapped text and so on. How can I split the cell (or lookup the first 'wrapped' line) so that I can then perform changes (using formulas with '&' to combine etc or whatever) so that in the end cell have the following:
Car 1A<Alt>+<Enter>
Truck 2C<Alt>+<Enter>
Van 1B

How do I use an Excel formula to find which (if any) multiple sets, each of up to 50 words, exist in a series of rows of a spreadsheet - if set A has one or more words found in a searched cell.
A positive result will return a specific value in the designated result cell. If none of the words in Set A is found in the searched cell, the formulae will repeat the test for the words in Set B, and so on.
After all 50 sets of words have been tested, the formula will move to the next cell in the searched column.
New words will be added to the sets of words continually as required.
Multiple words within sets are included in double quotes. Within each set of words there will be some n-tuples of words (i.e. 24 adjacent words) that contain one or more of the words in the set, but for which the formula will be required to return a negative result. Example: Set A = word 1, word2, word 3, "word1 word2 word3". (The words within a set could also be each entered in separate columns, as opposed to all included in a single cell.) The single column of text to be searched is about 10,000 rows.
I am wanting to use the above in a spreadsheet that contains data downloaded from a series of bank accounts to automatically allocate items of expenditure to one of 20 or so different categories of expenditure.
The formula will search the description field to find words that are used in the in the downloaded files from the various accounts to describe each transaction.
If a word describing travel expenditure (e.g. hotel, "holiday inn" but not "holiday travel") is found in the description of an expenditure item - the item cost will be allocated to the TRAVEL EXPENDITURE column, which is one of 20 or so different categories of expenditure.
Happy to consider a different solution if the task can be done better a different way.
Tried using a combination of INDEX/SEARCH/IF in Excel, but was not able to get a correct result. PS I am using Excel 2011 for Mac - which does not allow macros, so the solution needs to be entirely formula based.

I try to write the function that gets some "ref" and returns appropriate item.
For example: if I give to function "C3", it returns "AAA"
if I give to function "R18", it returns "BBB" (cause it between R15 to R26)
if I give to function "R9", it returns "BBB" also.

An original text string entry appearing in an Excel cell would be:
"N7C Neuroprotective J5Z Antiviral, other M2Z Antiarthritic, other J5A Antiviral, anti-HIV"
I need to extract N7C, J5Z, M2Z and J5A from this string and list these alphanumeric values in separate cells adjacent to the original text string. The challenge is that these alphanumeric references may appear in different positions within the original string with no fixed value e.g. a "," separating them. The alphanumeric references may also be 3 or 4 characters in length and there may be different numbers of alphanumeric references in the original string.
Another example would be (very different from the first):
"T2Z Recombinant, other K5B Radio-chemoprotective J3Z Antibacterial, other D3A Vulnerary A10C Symptomatic antidiabetic K6Z Anticancer, other R8A Antiasthma B6A Septic shock treatment I1Z Immunostimulant, other S1Z Ophthalmological R8B Antiallergic, non-asthma M1A1 Anti-inflammatory"
You can see that in this further example "A10C" & "M1A1" are 4 character alphanumeric strings wheras the others feature 3 characters.
