How To Match 4 Consecutive Characters In One Cell
Feb 27, 2013
I have two colums of data; A = buyer name(s); B = seller name(s); there are 30,000 rows.
I'm looking for a function than can tell me if any 4 consecutive charactetrs match between A1 and B1, A2 and B2, A3...
eg. If cell A1 = John James, Holly Judd. B2 = Emily James. I would like the function to return True in colums C as James appears in both cells (the aim of this is to identify trades between family memebers)
I have searched forums and know of MATCH and EXACT but don't know how to adapt for this example.

I am trying to select and move text from one column to another. I have roughly 1,000 cells in column A and I would like to tell Excel to select characters at certain positions and move them into the adjacent column.
I want it to look like this...
column A column B
ABCDEFGHI BCI
Each cell in column A has a 9-letter sequence. I would like to move characters 2,3 and 9 into the adjacent column

I have a SS with 700 rows. 2 columns (Col K and L) may or may not contain text in their cells. If the cells do have text, I want to check for the presence of keywords which could be anywhere within the text, and if I find match write the matching word in Column I. Example: I want to seach for the following strings Loaned, injured, suspended etc ... in the range the K4-K700. Lets say Cell K50 contains the text Injured - broken bones. As the word injured is a match I want to write the word injured to cell I50 In addition if Cell K50 has text and Cell L50 does not, i want to put the text "NEW" in I50, and the reverse if Cell L50 has text and Cell K50 does not i want to put the text "recovered" in I 50. Following formula (in each cell in Col I) does this job currently. Can't figure out how to redo this in VBA, and wondering if checking the 700 rows will cause Vba to be slower.
=IF(OR(TEXT(LEFT(OFFSET(I22,0,2,1,1),6),"DDDDDD")="Loaned",TEXT(LEFT(OFFSET(I22,0,2,1,1),6),"DDDDDD")="Transf"),
"Loaned",
IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("susp",OFFSET(I22,0,2,1,1))),
"Suspended",
IF(AND(ISBLANK(OFFSET(I22,0,2,1,1)),ISBLANK(OFFSET(I22,0,3,1,1))),
"",
IF(ISTEXT(OFFSET(I22,0,2,1,1))=ISTEXT(OFFSET(I22,0,3,1,1)),
"Ongoing",
IF(ISTEXT(OFFSET(I22,0,2,1,1))=TRUE,
IF(ISTEXT(OFFSET(I22,0,3,1,1))=FALSE,
"New"),
"Recovered")))))

I'm trying to fix a report that I created but can't seem to figure out a way to display the information for a single student.
I've attached a mock report up so that maybe it would make more sense.
So the first tab, 'DIR', I managed to find a way to pull up only the information for a single student that was selected in the drop-down D1 cell. For that I used a simple INDEX/MATCH combo. The student's name would only appear once in the 'Paste DIR' tab, so it was fairly simple to create these formulas.
Now for the 'Paste Outreach' tab, a student appears multiple times in the chunk of information. Right now, the way that I have the report is so that it would just pull the information from each row, regardless of the student. What I would like to do is find a formula similar to INDEX/MATCH, but find every instance when the criteria is met for the INDEX/MATCH. I would like to be able to log each instance a student has an Outreach log entered. Then if I switch the student selected in D1 of the DIR tab, then it would only populate their Outreach Logs.
So if Student Name & Outreach # matches D1 ('DIR' tab) & "90" in "Paste Outreach, then pull row info into rows 7-11 in Outreach.
Find the next instance Name & # matches, and pull that into rows 12-16, etc.

I am looking for a bit of assistance with the following formula. What I am trying to do is use sumproduct to sum on 2 variables. I have been trying to make this happen all day and if there is already a post on here to make it work I can't find it.
The problem revolves around the middle section. I am looking to match items in a text string (it is a mixture of text and number but are all as text)
I am looking to match a product that beings 200 (which might be 2000123) I don't want to match something like G200TRF I have tried every combination of left, right, find and search but I still have the same issue.
SUMPRODUCT(--($A$1:$A$1000=($O56)),--ISNUMBER(FIND(200,$E$1:$E$1000)),H$1:H$1000)

Can I use MATCH to match a subset of characters?
Example....Looking for value in a range that matches cell A1 (which reads 'DOGS')
MATCH(A1,'SEARCH_SHEET'!H4:H2590, FALSE)
This will look for a cell with 'DOGS' in it.
But what if I want a positive match on a cell that has 'DOGS & CATS'
This fails because it doesn't match exactly.

I need to achieve the situation below with a formula. I have tried simply doing, for example, = B3+1 but this throws an error, probably because the value being checked is alphanumeric.
Data
A001
Data
A002
Add next number (A003) when data entered in cell to left

Split from Count Of Groups Where Last Character Is Unique
The A1 B1 C1 were not the data items in the table, but the cell addresses. The new title of the thread does not reflect what I am asking either. The focus of the question is the counting of groups, not counts of cell contents.

I have the following code which adds a consecutive digit to a repeating cell value in:
=a2&countif($A$2:A2,A2)
So, this formula has put in cell B2. This means, that if if A2:A5=1 for each row, then B2=11, B3=12, B4=13, etc.
What I'm trying to do is put "-" between the original value and the extra digit. So, B2 would instead look like 1-1, B3=1-2, B4=1-3, etc.

Column C is the tricky one. It comes from the bank and somewhere in there is a 4-digit tenant reference. I did a formula to try and isloate it and it worked on most but if you look at the very first row, there is a spurious 99 in there, so it didn't work. Is there a way of EXTRACTING the first four consecutive numbers and placing them in another cell?

I was wondering if it would be possible to filter by two consecutive cell values or colors. For example if I have in "A"
X1 (red fill)
X2 (blue fill)
X1 (red fill)
X3 (xx fill)
X3 (xx fill)
X1 (red fill)
X2 (blue fill)
X4 (aa fill)
I want to be able to filter so that the consecutive cells for x1 and x2 show up or red followed by blue.
So when I filter it will only show rows 1 & 2 and 6 & 7.
X1
X2
and there would be many of these values in the spreadsheet.

Say I have Column A populated with Employee Names, and Column B populated with "Pass" or "Fail" (which indicates a passed or failed customer service call monitoring).
For each employee, I want to be able to look at all of their overall scores (usually between 3 and 10 evaluations per month) and easily highlight people who have failed 2 out of 3 consecutive evaluations.
I want to integrate this feature in to a weekly quality report.

Need a formula to automatically comment a cell when rows with given number consecutive columns has same entry example:
A B C D E F G H
1 0 0 0 0 5 6 7 18
2 0 0 5 6 7 0 8 26
3 0 5 0 0 0 0 0 5
row 1: there are minimum 4 '0' in consecutive columns, so H1 is sum of A1:G1 = 18 and automatically comment cell H1 "there are 4 zero" row 2: because there are no 4 '0' in consecutive columns, H2 is 26 , and no comment row 3: there are 5 '0' in consecutive columns, so H3 is 5 and automatically commented cell H3 "there are 5 zero"

I have set up a spreadsheet template that automatically populates specific values through the spreadsheet based on what the value of cell "A1" is. I want to run through 224 potential values in cell A1 and print out the worksheet after each potential value.
My thought on how to approach it is to write a macro that:
1. Selects the next item from the drop down box in cell A1
2. Prints the page (using default print settings)
3. Loops
But I don't know what the code would be. Cell A1 also does not need to be a drop down box, as long as it incrementally runs through all 224 listed values and prints after each one.

I need find consecutive Numbers in a singles Cell but each numbers have a leading zero and "-" (Dash)
My problem is that the UDF that i found on this forum, is for numbers with out leading zero with comma ",",
So even if change the "," by "-", still getting a error Because the Code is designed to Read numbers Formats different than mine..
My Numbers are located in Cell G12 (down), and the message that i need to show in the cell result is :
If Found :
0 Consecutives --> 0
2 Consecutives --> 2
3 consecutives --> 3
4 consecutives --> 4
5 consecutives --> 5
2 Set of consecutives --> 2S
Example of 0 consecutives --> 01-04-07-12-25-30
Example of 2 consecutives --> 01-02-07-12-25-30
Example of 3 consecutives --> 01-02-03-12-25-30
Example of 4 consecutives --> 01-02-03-04-25-30
Example of 5 consecutives --> 01-02-03-04-05-30
Example of 2 sets of consecutive s --> 01-02-07-12-25-26
BTW my numbers start on Cell G12 down..

So we have people's names in a table. First name in one column and last name in another column. We have a 3rd column where we can use 8 characters to do a combination of First 5 of Last Name + first 3 of first name. However, if someone's last name is only 3 or 4 characters, we'd then want to take more from the first name to fill out the 8 characters.
So:
Charles Johnson -> Johnscha
John Smith -> Smithjoh
Willian Wu -> Wuwillia
What's the best way to do that without creating some crazy formula with tons of if/thens?

how to create a macro that:
- In each row, pops up a Warning Dialog Box if the amount of letters in column "J" doesn't match the # defined in column "B"?
- Preferably this would pop up the Dialog Box as soon as the error occurs (so it's always running)
Two Exceptions:
- Does not look at Rows 1 & 2
- Does not look at Rows where column B = 0 or null

I am working on two worksheets. On my first worksheet I have one column with consecutive numbering starting from Cell 8.
A8 = 1
A9 = 2
A10 = 3
A11 = 4
A12 = 5
On my second worksheet I want to link to the values in the first worksheet but not in a consecutive manner. Each number will have an interval of 15 cells. As shown below:
D15 = 'link on Sheet1!A8'
D30 = 'link on Sheet1!A9'
D45 = 'link on Sheet1!A10'
D60 = 'link on Sheet1!A11'
D75 = 'link on Sheet1!A12'

I have an index of 80,000 names from an index. Some names appear in multiple volumes and on multiple pages within a volume. While the name is the same, they are different people. The Roman numeral is the volume and the numeric is the page number.
Example of original data: Joe Shmoe V-225, 310 VIII-22, 86, 110
I have separated the data into separate columns. Now I have:
Col 1 Col 2 Col 3 Col 4 Col 5 Col 6
Joe Shmoe V-225 310 VIII-22 86 110
At this point, I want to combine the Roman numeral in Col 2 with Col 3 and 4 and combine the Roman numeral in Col 4 with Col 5 and 6.
There are way too many records for me to manually enter the Roman numeral where missing.

I have a spreadsheet which I use to enter notes related to particular invoice numbers. A v-lookup pulls the notes into another tab. What I'm running into is that the notes can be quite lengthy - in excess of 1,000 characters. When the notes get too long, they don't all appear in a single cell (unless it's extremely wide).
I'm wondering if there may be a way to maintain my notes in a word doc instead? Maybe in a table that pulls in using a v-lookup? But I'm not able to figure out how to direct a v-lookup to a word doc.

As you can see, in D5, I have the charactor chain SRG-DC01-RA-xxxxxxx, and in D6 I have the charactor chain SRG-DC43-RA-xxxxx.
With the formula that I have entered, I would have thought that E5 would have generated "Lawnton". I don't want the formula to pick up the SRG, the RA, or the number, just the DCXX component.
This is what I have now:
=IF(OR(ISNUMBER(SEARCH({"DC43","DC01"},D5))),"Erskine Park","Lawnton")
which has not changed a thing from:
=IF(OR(ISNUMBER(SEARCH({"DC43"},D5))),"Erskine Park")
Surely I am not far off the mark??
