Formula To Substitute Given Symbols

May 17, 2014

I've got a workbook with multiple formulas e.g.:

t=S/D

TCh=Ch*(S^2/2D)*(D/Q)

TC=Co*(D/Q)+Ch*((i-D)/2i)*Q

which are built by implementing the symbols:

t, S, D, TCh, Ch, Q, TC, Co, i

I'd like to substitute the symbols in following sequence:

t = a
S = b
D = c
TCh = d
Ch = e
Q = f
TC = g
Co = h
i = x

Questions:

1) Which formula could substitute the symbols automaticly?

2) If there are up to 100 formulas in the workbook in the range of A1:E100,-

would it be possible to to set the substitution for the mentioned range?

See the attachment.

How To Use CONCATENATE And SUBSTITUTE Formula Together

Nov 17, 2011

Is this possible because when i try to use the Substitute formula my Concatenate formula is doesn't work. This data in cell A1 is linked from another sheet

PHONE

WIRE
CANDY
INDIA

When I use the Concatenate formula only, it works fine but when i try to add the Substitute to this, it looks like this

PHONE WIRE CANDY INDIA

I want it to look like this, removing any blank lines within cell A1

PHONE
WIRE
CANDY
INDIA

Something wrong with the formula? how come it doesn't do both?
=SUBSTITUTE(CONCATENATE(A1),CHAR(10),"")

Formula To Find And Substitute A Word In Text If Condition Met

Aug 18, 2014

In cell A1, I have three possible text strings: (1) "change/s: changed the color green to red", (2) "change/s: changed the color from green to red, changed the size from big to small", or (3) "changed the color from red to green".

I need a formula that will look at a text string, and if there is a comma in the string, it finds the word "change/s" and substitutes it with "changes", if it finds no comma, it substitutes the word "change/s" to "change", and if the word "change/s" is not in the text string at all, it leaves that text string unchanged.

Substitute Apostrophe

Oct 2, 2007

I have a formula who examines if they are the same. The last number at first quote is not a problem (the 45). The problem occurs only and allways when the horse's name have an apostrophe " ' ". In first example apostrophe is different from the usual. If i manually delay it and replace it - type keyboards apostrophe everything works fine. Obviusly its a symbol. I want a small macro for replacing all these symbols at, lets say column B ,where these names are located. How can i use substitute at this case?

Substitute For Filesearch

Aug 19, 2008

I understand that Microsoft left Filesearch out of VBA for Office 2007 because it was buggy. Sadly, however, I still need it. It would help if they placed a comment in VBA help that stated that it was discontinued. As it is, they make it look as if Filesearch is still available for use. OK, I'll stop ranting now.

After reading several earlier posts, apparently I have to use the Dir function. I learn visually and cannot figure out how to use the function from the VBA help file since there are no examples. Does anyone have an example of code using the Dir function to insert filenames in an array? Once I see the code, I'm sure I can adapt it to suit my needs.

Is There A Substitute Character That Can Be Used

Nov 6, 2008

I have a whole bunch of dates in a column that look like this:

5/01/1998 when it is supposed to be 5/01/2098 is there a character you can use when you are using the find & replace mode i.e.

*/**/20** I know it is not the asterisk but I believe there is some other character that can be used and it won't change any other of the numbers except the 19. I tried reformating and it does'nt work because of the way they sent it to me.

Substitute Error Values

Jul 14, 2009

I've got a small problem using VLOOKUP. If the function does not find a value, it returns #N/A. I would like it to say "Not Installed" instead.

The same goes for when VLOOKUP returns a zero - I would like it to return "Installed" instead. Since I've got a great number of rows, I would need an efficent way to change this.

SUBSTITUTE Function To Replace Commas

Mar 2, 2007

I m using SUBSTITUTE function to replace commas with fullstop so I can multiply the end result with a number. But when I try to multiple for example B2 (0.1831) with 5, i get the VALUE! error.

Value Real Value (after substitute function)
0,1831 0.1831
23,3333 23.3333
12,5199 12.5199
5,5000 5.5000
20,5999 20.5999
24,4671 24.4671
200,0000200.0000
2,5386 2.5386
0,4000 0.4000
1,5019 1.5019

how I can resolve this so I can use the real values for computations (eg Real value *5), without having the VALUE! error message.

Using Substitute To Change Text In Variable?

Mar 25, 2014

I have a text variable MtgDate containing "25/03/2014"

I need to produce another text variable (to build into a file name) MtgDate1 with the text "2014-03-25"

I was going to use the Substitute function to replace the "/" with a "-" then Mid to juggle the dd-mm-yyyy to yyyy-mm-dd but at the moment I can't even find the right syntax for the Substitute.

Got as far as:

[Code] .....

but this just sets MtgDate1 as "=Substitute(MtgDate, " / ", " - ") ie reduces the double quotes to single ones.

SUBSTITUTE Function With Wildcard For Symbols?

Sep 30, 2011

In trying to create a formula that remove EVERY symbol from a cell (C6) and replacing it with a space.... the "SUBSTITUTE" function is telling me I have too many nested Substitutes.

This is the formula:

Code:
=SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE
(C6,"/"," "),"%"," "),"!"," "),","," "),"*"," "),"-"," "),"("," "),")"," ")

It works thus far, but I would still like to add more symbols into the nest. Is there a way/formula to do this that replaces ANY symbol with a space?

Substitute A Number Into Cell Reference?

Oct 28, 2012

I have the formula in cell A2 =average(A100:A1100). However the range is not always the same so need a formula that will allow me to enter '200' in cell B2 and that will make the formulae in cell A2 calculate =average(A200:A1100). Likewise, if '300' is entered in cell B2 the formula in A2 will calculate =average(A300:A1100).

Multiple Substitute Or Replace Text Using A Table?

Feb 11, 2005

I'd like to use VBA to create a super substitute function. For my needs, nesting is insufficient because my substitution list is at 20 and growing. To make matters worse, the function needs to be used in several places.

What I'd like to do is have a named table with two columns for the function to use as a look-up for potential substitutions. The first column would contain the original text and the second would contain the replacement text. This way, whenever new items come up, all I have to do is add them to the list. The syntax of the function would be along the lines of SUPERSUB(TextString, table), where TextString contains the text that could be modified.

Substitute Function Giving TEXT Output?

Oct 2, 2012

I've in cell A1 an entry like this: 123*456*7890

=SUBSTITUTE(A1) in cell 'A2' gives me: 1234567890
=ISTEXT(A2) in cell 'A3' gives me: TRUE

BUT, =A3+1 gives me: 1234567891

Hows that happening? Substitute function gives me the output which is a TEXT, and how is it that when I add 1 to it, I get an answer? Shouldn't I get a #VALUE! error instead?

Substitute Characters With Leading Zeros In Multiple Scenarios?

Mar 18, 2014

I have a spreadsheet I work with which contains a formula that needs to take an item ID letter/number combo, substitute the preceeding letter(s) with leading zeros (if the initial numerical characters are fewer than 5) to make the result return a 5-digit number.

The original ID can be in several possible formats (beside each I will post the desired result):
V7684 07684V366 00366V88 00088V60827 60827VS57871 57871VS67 00067

I have the following formula which works like a charm for all except the last example:
=IF(LEN(K2)>5,(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(K2,"VS","),"V",")),(REPT("0",5-LEN(K2))&(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(K2,"VS","0"),"V","0"))))

If the first 2 characters are letters ("VS") and there are fewer than 5 numerical characters, the formula results in a 4-digit number, rather than 5. Using the above example, VS67 returns 0067 instead of 00067.


P.S. I just tried
=IF(LEN(K2)>5,(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(K2,"VS",""),"V","")),(REPT("0",5-LEN(K2))&(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(K2,"VS","00"),"V","0")))) which only works when there are 3 or fewer numerical characters.
