SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(E10:E29,E10:E29)>0,1)). this is the formula I currently use to read employee numbers and it works when we just use the number i.e. 011004. When we use the full employee number with alpha characters it does not work i.e. ASMO011004. I have used helper cells to do similar, but am not wanting to do this way for simplicity reasons.
View 2 RepliesAs per title, I am trying to compare a column of text cells which contain "Yes" or are empty and a columns of numbers. If they are "Yes" and "1" on the same row, I want to output an "OK" message. Excel seems happy with the following code but it does not work and returns an empty cell if the two conditions are true.

I have a spreadsheet where I enter text values in a cell, e.g. (.5 x .5) x 2 x .009. I want to find a way to automatically populated the cell to the right with the formula version, e.g. =(.5 * .5) * 2 * x .009 and format as three decimal place number.
One other question, is there a way to enter a template for entry in a cell. It would be nice if the text value above would take care of the parenthesis and multiplication signs for me.
The following code reads text one character at a time, and each character is determined either to be a blank space or to be any other character. If it's determined to be any other character, then the character is added to the active cell. If it's determined to be a blank space, then the active cell becomes the cell one column over. The idea is to have different words written in columns next to each other.
The sample text file I'm reading from reads: "text file". The file has only those two words. One space between them. No space before the first word, and no space after the second word. The following code compiles and runs. BUT the result is that the word "text" is in column k, not A. And the word "file" is in column J, not b.
I am using the find or search function but I need to read my text string from right to left (from the end of the string, instead of from the beggining). Is there a way to do this?
I have a spreadsheet and need column S to look in column J to find "AO" And "AI" once it finds this I need it to look at column P and post that data into column S. I have tried all sorts of IF's but I cannot seem to get it to work.

I am trying to do is extract the volume size of products in 'ml'
from 10k plus products from a description field cell.
this description field could also contain the weight of the product in grams
so I cannot just do a search for a numeric string ,
it has to be associated with the milli-litres statement .
is is possible to do a sort of ' *ml ' search and then select and copy to another cell ???
the attached workbook, I am looking for M19, N19 & O19 to read from different locations depending on how many cells are called on when info is entered in P8.

i.e. you put in 12 and the macro will copy 12 rows to paste somewhere else.
2. Similarly, the same idea but instead of selecting rows i need it to drag a formula down to the relavent row number so all the copied data has a formula to match
I have two (2) different values in the same column one value is text (INV) the other is a time date stamp 05/18/2012 10:48:32. The text i want to return in a seperate column for these two is if it is INV then the result is "PENDING" if it is a date 05/18/2012 etc. then the result would be "PAID" example:
Payment Status
05/08/2012 10:30:12
INV
05/17/2012 08:27:37
INV

I have the following problem: I have this formula, that works correctly:
=SOMMA.SE('[myfile_12112012.xlsx]RIEPILOGO'!$C$2:$C$12;E1;'[myfile_12112012.xlsx]RIEPILOGO'!$B$2:$B$12)
I wish I could read the name of the file (myfile_12112012.xlsx) or, alternatively, all of the function's first argument (('[myfile_12112012.xlsx]RIEPILOGO'!$C$2:$C$12) from a separate cell.
I tried this:
SOMMA.SE = (C2, E1, '[myfile_12112012.xlsx] ERROR SUMMARY'! $ B $ 2: $ B $ 12)
putting in the cell C2 the string:
'[myfile_12112012.xlsx]RIEPILOGO'!$C$2:$C$12
In this way, however, the formula does not work.
How can I read and evaluate correctly the first argument from the cell c2?
I have a pretty basic spreadsheet which requires a quantity and a unit price (which may change) and then the total. I find that if there is no number in the quantity cell, it reads it as if there is a "1" in there. Can anyone offer assistance on how to get around this without placing zero in that spot?

What is the formula on cell a3 to count these, I know count(a1:a2) that counts numeric, don't know how to deal with text count.
Wondering if it is possible to convert a string into a numeric value. The idea is that if you have a list of names, if you could add up the numeric values of the names together and hide it at the end of the list. Then if a name on the list changes, then so will that value.
I know how to do this in C or Python, but I am rather new to the syntax of VBA.
I often use vlookups that fail because of numeric/text discrepancies. I was always taught that if you're not going to do math on a field, it should be text. Such as zip codes or social security number.
Anyway, I know the easy way to convert text to numbers is paste special > multiply by 1. But what's the easiest way to convert numeric to text?
I have a series of identification values that begin with text and end with a number. The trouble with sorting on this field only affects where the the first 9 entries end up since the number portion is not prefixed with a zero. Is there a way to sort these numbers so that ID2 (and not ID10) follows ID1?

ID2
ID3

The days of the month don't really matter. It's the month and year that I need in a date format.
I have a spreadsheet with employee ID's along with other data, I need to see if any of the ID's are out of this range 0001 thru 1368, now some of the ID's have A,B,C, (e.I 0245A, 1101B,) but some do not have them. if the ID's are out of range I need to highlight it, cant figure this out, because of the Alpha characters.
View 4 Replies View RelatedAre test have some text values RA = 0 and A= 0.5 as well as numeric values. I am currently using the formula =IF(COUNTIF(A1:A13,"A"),(COUNTIF(A1:A13,"A")*0.5)+SUM(A1:A13))/COUNTA(A1:A13) which is not very good at all, but it works for this instance. I also use the formula in B2 =IF(A1="RA",0,IF(A1="A",0.5,A1)) as a helper column but I need a stabile formula with out a helper column that will allow me to average text and numeric values. In the future, they are going to expand the text values part i.e. B = 0.3, BD = 0.2 etc....

I'm trying to find out exactly how I can use sum product on cells that have text and numeric values. Here's my sample data (6 points):
TN FX1576 20, TN FX1577 25, AZ FX1577 30, AZ FX1577 35, FW FX 1577 40, and FW 1577 45.
I wish to do the following: I want to sum all of the right numeric values based on the first two text values(TN, AZ, or FW). I want to sum these numbers to their respective total cells at the top of the page. So far I can sum the numeric values fine using the following formula: =sumproduct((right(range,2)*1) but when I try to differentiate between the respective locations (AZ, TN, or FW) I get an error message.

for stripping the text before an actual number

I have a fields coming in that are text but should be numeric. is there a formula I can put in the cell to convert it from text to numeric?
The original database has the numeric fields stored as text, but I need to import them into Excel and do calculations on them.
I have a cell with a value of, Text 1 and in the next field I want it to display Text 2, then text 3 and so on.
Is there any way of doing this? I guess I am looking for something like a1+1, just a shame it doesn't work.
I have used the advanced filter option in excel 2010 to display all the unique occurences of a list of names (column B) and then used the count function =COUNTIF(A$2:A$21,B2) to count the occurences of each name (column C).
However, excel did not manage to take into account the last 3 entries in column A (mir-23). I assume this is because it is a mixture of text and numeric values. How can I include this information in the grouping and counting?
