I have some data in the form of text w/ 8 letters. I'd like to insert a hyphen after the third character. Is this possible using a formula to populate an entire field? Example:
Current format: ABC01234
Desired format: ABC-01234
What is the formula to cover multiple different text that could come up? I could have an answer that is NA, Yes and also a blank cell and if I could I would like to have it set up as follows:
NA = -
Blank Cell = 0
Yes = 1
I am setting up a new chart of accounts, with the format xxx-yyyy, where xxx is a three digit department number, and yyyy is the expense account. I am building a spreadsheet to populate the new chart of accounts to be uploaded into our accounting software. I would like to have a cell that takes the xxx from one cell, adds a hyphen, and combines it with the yyyy value. The result would be xxx-yyyy format.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am in need of a formula. I have a number like: 23847-2
I want a formula to take this number and add one to the number before the hyphen. I also want the single digit number after the hyphen to be able to be changed.
So in the end: i want the number copied to the next cell, add one to the portion before the hyphen. Then allow the number after the hyphen to be changed manually.
Some code below which I have inherited, basically its looping through one column of data and removing the text at the beginning before the hyphen eg. '123 - data text' to 'data text'.
HTML Code:
'Remove everything before the hyphen in the activity column
Dim SearchStr
Dim CharOffset As Variant
Range("c7").Select
[Code] ......
I have a situation where I have to curve fit data, this can lead to different formulas being used with varying constants.
Is it possible to pickup a TEXT based formula and related constants from other cells, and then place this into another cell as a functioning formula. For Example
Cell A1 contains the formula as a text string whether it be y=a+bx+cx^2, or y=a+b/x, etc
Cells A2:A6 contain the individual constants, a, b, c, etc
I would then want the VBA to read the text based formula and put it into an output cell as a functioning excel formulae.g
In cell B10: =a+b*A10+c*A10^2
I understand picking the constants up and putting the formula should not be too much of an issue, however trying to insert the variable form of the curve fit is the part that I am struggling with, and am unsure if possible.
All I want to do is insert a formula into a text box. This thread answers the exact same question but I don't understand how to highlight the text box as an object... [URL]....

I guess this could be done by inserting formula in this start/end time cells, like :

and

I'm doing this to allow user for picking commonly used time intervals from Combobox, but also to enter other start/end time in cells for that. I cannot do that without VBA, but I don't know how to do It in VBA.
My time intervals in Combobox are all in this text format, example:

How can I do that ? I can also post a sample worksheet !
I want the macro to:
1. search A1:AZ1 to find the cell that has the text "VBA Test" in the cell. There could be other text in the cell as well - this is not an exact match - but these two words are the common text.
2. go to that cell
3. go to one cell below that
4. enter a formula (I've got it from here ....)
I can use the MATCH function when i am in excel but i am having trouble getting it to work when i am trying to insert the formula using VBA.
Here is the code i have but it wont even compile........

View 2 Replies View RelatedPlease see attached file. In my column L, I'm trying to find a formula that would reference my column J to the table in the data tab. My problem is the data in column J has a hyphen (-) in the number ex.. 047-258-1 and the next tab does not have a hyphen in between the number...ex 0472581. The correct results in cell L3 would be Walmart. How can I adjust my formula to accommodate this hyphen. Can this also be reflected in my pivot table as well?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI built a formula that should work, but it's too long so I need to condense it.
I have three columns, column 1 has names, column 2 has a formula.
I have 15 sheets, each with a name that could appear in column 1.
If the cell in column 2, sheet 1 is Bob, I want it to pull H5 from sheet bob. That works as:
=IF(A5="Bob", 'Bob Data'!H4, "Work in Progress")
But if I build that formula for all the possible names, it's too long. Is there a way to make the formula autofill with the name in cell A5
So: =IF(A5="XXXX", 'XXXX'!H4, "Work in Progress")

I want a format that does not accept the point and put the hyphen CPF.
I 123456789-10 format and desire that even putting the point, leave the cell in this format 12345678910.
I know I could use the replace function through the ctrl + l, most wonder if there's no way to customize the cell.

I can't seem to make user-defined format that puts a text in front of a number and/or a text.
Let's say I have A1: 13, A2: texttext A3: text7 and I want to format a lot of cells to "Ilike 13" / "Ilike texttext" / "Ilike text7"... ie add the same text in the front of the cell, no matter what the content is.
I did manage it seperately, with "texttext" @ for text and "texttext" # for numbers, but what's the general one?

I've create an userform with 2 textbox and a command button.
The user is allow to paste an article into textbox1, when they clicked the button, it should be able to find a specific text string in the article, then right after that text I want to insert addition note and a new article with notes will be generated in textbox2.
Currently i stuck on how to insert the note after the specific text string?
Got a slight problem; I am making a "worker-plan", where you should be able to write a name on one file and have it updated (removed) from the equivalent columns on another file automatically. Here's an example with two separate projects:
Project 1 before and after changes:
Attachment 257366
Attachment 257367
Project 2 before and after changes:
Attachment 257368
Attachment 257369
You can see here how I intended it to work. When one worker is moved from Project 1 to Project 2, that worker should also be removed from those weeks in Project 1. The previous worker from Project 2 should also be removed from those weeks (in Project 2).
Are there any formulas that can make this work automatically? All week numbers will belong to the same columns in all files.
Edit: There are 30 files that should be syncronized, not just two.. I could also gather all files into one file with sheets, instead of having seperate files.
Can the below code be modified to insert 2 sheets with the A2 value and specific text ("known" and "unknown")?
So if A2 is Paul Jones when the VBA is run a sheet Paul Jones Known, another sheet Paul Jones Unknown

I would like to add a menu option that will run a subroutine to automatically add a formated text box to the worksheet at the selected cell location. The box must have the text centered, bold, underlined in Arial 10, and no border. I use this method to create a flow chart and would like to make it easier. At the moment I create three different text boxes and then copy them to the clipboard. Then I just click each one, drag it into position and edit the text. I tried recording a macro while adding the text box to the worksheet, but it didn't record anything except the cell selection.
