How To Strip Out Names From Cell And Flip Around First Name Last Name
Jul 25, 2014
How can I strip out a name from a cell, see example below, I would need to remove the number and flip the name.
example:
Column A = Column B results
Blow/Joe 123456 = Joe Blow
Johnson/Mike 898930 = Mike Johnson
Mama/Joe 293810 = Joe Mama
Smith/John 389301 = John Smith
There are also cells in this column which literally have a sentence long description, but those are not my focus. What I need to do is find a way to strip out the e-mail address found in the examples above and copy them into a new cell (the same row for the corresponding user). I don't know where to begin for this.
I need VBA to remove more than 3 blank spaces after the city & replace them with a comma & one blank. For example:
All in one column AB starting with row 7 I have:
Johnson City (13 Blank Spaces) NC 75503 (1 to 3 spaces after state & is OK) Jacksonville (10 blank spaces) Fl 23854 Henderson (12 blank spaces) NH 28363 (12 blank spaces) etc
I need all in one column AC starting with row 7: Johnson City, NC 75503 (,space before state, same space after state ok) Jacksonville, FL 23854 Henderson, NH 28363 etc
I have a spreadsheet that is so long ie columns that i have decided to flip it over so that my old row titles are now column headings and my column heading are now row titles.
The reason for this is that I need to enter more that 256 columns into my worksheet matrix and I only have 209 rows thus light bulb moment turned the whole spreasheet 90 degrees within the worksheet!
I have data map in excel. I want to create a program to flip the data map. The data from the top of the data map will flip to the bottom of the map and the data from the bottom will flip to the top of the map. The process is like a mirror reflection.
Like example:
after a command button is clicked, the data will changed to be like this:
I have been using this macro, which works perfect:
Sub Signflip() Dim cell As Range For Each cell In Selection If IsNumeric(cell.Value) Then cell.Value = -cell.Value Next cell End Sub
It allows me to select cells and flip from neg to pos, pos to neg, and it won't error out on text cells. Great little macro.
However, I don't like how it puts a zero in blank cells. It slows down the macro when I select large areas. Is there a way to make this macro work the same way but skip over empty or blank cells and not enter a zero.
I have a worksheet with many tables that I use in formulas.
I like tables for a couple reasons, one being the ability to insert/delete rows without affecting the rest of that worksheet row.
Also, automatic copy of formulas/formatting is great.
But, what I really like about tables is the ability to use the naming conventions in formulas.
Problem is when I save this worksheet, after I close it and open it back up, all table references in my formulas have been converted to cell references.
Example:
Code:
=IF((SUMIF('Quote 1'!$M$28:$M$43,">"&'Quote 1'!$J$57:$J$60)*'Quote 1'!$G$57:$G$60)+(COUNTIF('Quote 1'!$M$28:$M$43,""&'Quote 1'!$J$57:$J$60)*'Quote 1'!$G$57:$G$60)+(COUNTIF('Quote 1'!$M$28:$M$43,""&tblOSSRV[Min Order Cost])*tblOSSRV[Cost / Part])+(COUNTIF(tblFam[[#Data],[Qty by Factor2]],""&tblOSSRV[Min Parts Per Line])*tblOSSRV[Cost / Part])+(COUNTIF(tblFam[[#Data],[Qty by Factor2]],"
how to strip the time from a date formated field using "=INT()". At the moment this works fine for me but I wonder if there is a possibility to strip the day form the datefield as well.
What are the differences/advantages to these 2 controls in a User Form?
I have already seen that the tab strip doesn't seem to toggle b/t pages, as a frame I placed remained on both "tabs" (I am wondering what it does if you can't toggle).
I have a problem with a spreadsheet my colleague at work has designed. He has entered all the names into it as Mrs A Jones, Mr P Smith, Mrs S Pilkington-Smyth etc. I need to sort these into Alpha order using just the surname. macro or a formula to count backwards until I get a space and then strip this off to allow me to sort it.
Exported data in PDF and converted to Excel worksheet and some of the data contains a space in the year.
Example: 2/6/2 014 2:49 PM.
I used the =INT(A1) to strip the time off. Worked wonderfully. However when I need to sort by ascending/descending date , it does not put in order due to this extra space. Is there a formula out there that I can use to delete the space? All of the data doesnt appear this way. I am sure it is due to the conversion.
Is there an Excel function that can strip a specificed unwanted character from a text string to leave all the other characters excluding the unwanted one?
e.g. if the original text strings were (in separate cells within a workbook):
I have one hundred rows of data and within that there are some records which are the same and they will always be in pairs - identifiable by a cell with the same ref common to both records. how to strip out the records that are not part of a pair? I would like remove all of the non pairs and move them to another sheet.
I am using the code below that I got off of these forums to email a particular sheet in my workbook, but I need to strip all of the VBA code and the command button from the sheet being sent.
I import data from another program in order to evaluate it. Unfortunately, one of the fields I need contains copyright data, however, it has been very inconsistently entered into the database. For example, sometimes the data appears "c1999." or "-1999" or "" or "[1999]" or even "19?" and also sometimes "1999, 1990" and many other variations on that. I discovered the link in the excel help file about extracting numbers from alphanumeric strings, but my situation is still too variable for it to apply; that file didn't take into account that alphanumeric strings don't always lump numbers and letters together. I was able to correct a few things, but my command of excel isn't knowledgeable enough to really come up with something effective.
Some ideas I had that I don't know how to implement: is there a way to strip non-numerical characters from an alphanumeric string? (I've been doing some find/replaces to get rid of some of it, but that is obviously not very efficient when I have to repeat this process daily.) Perhaps then I could just detect the first 4 numbers of the string somehow. However, that doesn't solve the problem of when a wild card is used as in "199?" or "20?" etc.
Bottom line, I just need to grab the first four numbers that appear in the string (but NOT additional numbers that occur after a wild card or a space if the year was not completed in 4 numbers; in that case I'd just be happy with a null value).
I've been doing this with a formula so far. My only experience with macros has been in simply recording them, not actually writing them, but I'll give anything a try.
'To delete delivery address lines if 1st line empty If IsEmpty(Range("deliver_line1")) _ Then Sheets(1).Range("deliver_rows").EntireRow.Delete 'No End If required as only one action as a result of the If
A spreadsheet based on my template has been sent to me because the macro won't run properly. When I try to run the macro I get a Runtime Error '1004' Method 'Range' of object '_Global' failed on the following line. Columns("A:E") = Columns("A:E").Value.
I have a long customer listing, names 5 to 36 characters and several with their location in the name as well as a few common duplicate names. I am trying to produce sheet where the customers name once selected opens in the customers spreadsheet and data can be added/amended for sales etc.The lists are not in alphabetical order as when created a customer number is automatically allocated. My aim is just to type in the first letter of the name and the dropdown appears the customer is selected and their card appears. I have tried data validation, lookup, vlookup, Dropdown and Match/find. they only return the first record found and no sign of any others. Find returned all instances of the letter appearing in every name.
Looking for a formula (not macro) that can do the following:
I have a spreadsheet and in one column, it has last names of clients. In the next column, it has full names of clients that are the same account, but different system with different descriptions for the name. I need to lookup the column that just has last name and see if that last name exist anywhere in the "Full name" column. If it does, then I need column C to say "Yes" or something along those lines.
The "full name" column isn't always in the same format and sometimes doesn't even contain the "last name." Sometimes the last name will be first and sometimes there's a comma and sometimes there isn't a comma. The spreadsheet attached shows a good short example of what I'm working with...
1) I'm relatively new to arrays, but what I need to do is generate a list of file names and the sheets within each one. I would like to use an array for this, but since I don't have much experience.... well....that's why I'm here. Can someone point me in the right direction?
2) And the second part of this.... I was planning on using the FileSystemObject to determine the files in a selected folder and loop through that list of files, opening each one and harvesting the required info (file name and all sheet names). Should I use the FSO or is there something built into Excel that might be better (and also limit the number of dependencies for this little "project" of mine).
