I always seem to have trouble with the Find() and MID() function when used together. I try to following the syntax but it keeping erroring...
I'm trying to remove all the characters before the first non-zero number.
e.g. ABC263080 becomes 263080
PROGO0123 becomes 123
I need to know how to remove characters from the date field in Excel.
Example:
9/12/1975 - I need it to read 09121975.
I also need to know how to remove characters from a social security number without removing the zero's in the front.
Example:
012-34-5678 - I need 012345678.
If for example, I have a set of IDs like:
Bellen-234-B25R
Carlota-345-C20RDF
Quad-765-Q20LP
How would I return just the first 4 characters after the second dash? The closest I can get is ALL the characters after the second dash.
I need to remove the last x characters if its equal to 0's
see:
101190
101200
101300
102000
102010
102020
should be
10119
1012
1013
102
10201
10202
The numerical results in column A need to have the last three characters stripped from the cells. I used the =LEFT formula in adjacent cells to return the results but I am looking for a way to run code to remove these three numbers in each cell from row 1 to 8000 in column A.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am currently using the following formula to remove the letter "R" from the end of cells
[=IF(ISNUMBER(--RIGHT(A3)),A3,LEFT(A3,LEN(A3)-1))].
However, I would like a macro to accomplish this goal, along with something else. I have a list of values as follows:
CHD152-2
CHD115-1
CHD40-3
RE224
HPC644R
DOC020R
HPC594R
What I need is a macro that will remove any instance of "R", "-1", "-2", "-3", "-4" from the end of a cell. neither of the 5 values listed in the last sentence are present, the the cell will be unchange. So, after running, the above values would look like this:
CHD152
CHD115
CHD40
RE224
HPC644
DOC020
HPC594
Is there a function that can remove all text and other characters from cell and only keep the numbers? The numbers can be randomly in the cell so not only in the end or beginning.
See attached file.
I have attached a spread sheet with some code I recoded with macro recorder. I have been searching for some extra code to insert in the middle of the recorded code which will remove the first 5 characters from the active cell and past the result to the next page. I have seen a lot of relevant code but haven't been able to get any to work in my code.

I have got a cell or cells with certain number of Characters (Alphabetical or Numeric or Alphanumeric). I would like to remove the excess Characters in the Cell from the end.
Example: If a cell contains 234 characters, Excess characters (More than 200) to be removed from the end.
Any formula or Vba program in generic form, so that i can limit the number of Characters to as required.
I have found a very useful UDF for removing non-alpha characters from strings. (See below, Credit for posting to Stanley D Grom - Ozgrid post ´Removing Non-alpha Characters From Text´).
Option Explicit
Private Function RemoveCharacters(InString As String) As String
Dim intLoopCounter As Integer
Dim intStringLength As Integer
Dim intASCIIVal As Integer
intStringLength = Len(InString)
InString = LCase(InString)
For intLoopCounter = 1 To intStringLength
intASCIIVal = Asc(Mid(InString, intLoopCounter, 1))
If intASCIIVal >= 97 And intASCIIVal <= 122 Then
RemoveCharacters = RemoveCharacters + Mid(InString, intLoopCounter, 1)
End If
Next intLoopCounter
End Function
Two requests:
1. Could the UDF be modified such that any part of a string contained within brackets is also removed (e.g. "NLGA High Street (West-Enfield), EN6" becomes "nlgahighstreeten")?
2. Can an argument be added to the format of the UDF, such that numbers (0 to 9) are either included or excluded (e.g. RemoveCharacters(A1,1) where the argument ´1´ would include any numbers (0 to 9), so "NLGA2003 High Street (West-Enfield), EN6" becomes "nlga2003highstreeten6")? ´blank´or ´0´would exclude these numbers, i.e. would return "nlgahighstreeten"
I need to remove the letter within the middle of a persons name.
For example, if the person is called 'Michael J Fox' then it needs to be edited to show only 'Michael Fox', if the person is called 'George W Bush' then only 'George Bush' should be displayed etc. However the persons name should remain as is if a middle character initial does not exist.
I need a VBA code to find the number of characters in each cell and display the result in next column.
For Ex:
ColA:
HI
who
There
output should be
ColA,ColB
HI,2
who,3
there,5
I have shown example for 3 rows only but there are chances like it contains more than 3 rows(Dynamic rows).I tried by creating Range variable but I couldn't succeeded.
in ROW 1 I have columns A thru AD populated with a number in each cell. what I need to do is take that number and fill the below cell with the number times a set character. for instance, A1 has "4" in it, so I want A2 to look like "----"
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am looking too limit a cell too only contain 5 or 7 characters.
I can limit too one length, i.e. just 7, using the data validation function.
I'm creating a spreadsheet (Excel 2003) in which a user enters data in several cells, each of which will permit different numbers of characters (to include spaces). For example, in the first cell, the user will be limited to 50 characters, in the second cell, the limit is 30 characters, and so on.
I found the data validation error alert feature, but want to give the user a cue that the entry is too long so they know to stop typing before moving to the next cell. If they only are alerted when they finish making the entry, they might not take the time to properly reconstruct the entry to meet the size limitation. I'm trying to make this more user-friendly.
Is there a way to set up the worksheet so the user knows that the entry is approaching the character limit? For example, each character filling an individual cell or having a display appear with a count-down for the number of characters remaining in the limit, or something similar.
I have a column that is made up of postcodes, lat, long, eastern, northern data eg: SK10 5BA, 53.291013, -2.096675, 393652, 377121
And I want to end up with a column containing the lat (53.291013) and another containing the long (-2.096675).
I have worked out to use formula's to remove a certain number of characters from the left and right of the cell, but the challenge here is the postcode at the begining of the data, can be varying in length.
know of a formula that will let me copy a certain number of characters within the cell, but counted from the right, as the eastern and northern numbers are always the same length.
I have a cell (A1) with a number in it. The number has 30 digits. I need a formula for (B1) that will enter the same number as A1 but restrict the number to 28 digits. Basically I need it to cut off the last 2 digits.

Count the numbers of the characters in a cell.
The number of characters must be appear in another cell.
This number must be refresh when you type the key, not when you push enter.
I have a description for a couple trucks in my inventory, rather than retyping all the mileage, I would like to select the miles out of the description.
Example:
14.0 Detroit 515 HP, 10 Spd OD, Engine Brake, Air Ride Suspension, 3.42 Ratio, 234" WB, 70" Double Deck Condo, 22.5LP Tires, Aluminum/Steel Wheels, Tandem Axle, 12,000# FA, 40,000# RA, 259,000 Miles
I have tried the find, left and mid formulas but haven't put something together to work just right. I would like to select the 7 characters to the left of "Miles".
Does anyone have any ideas?

I clicked on Custom then =LEN(A10)=6 which works when i enter more or less than 6 characters, however it lets you paste in something which has more than 6 charters.
I want to calculate the total number of characters in a cell or group of cells. Also, as a second step, I want to indicate which cells have a total number of characters greater than a certain value.

May I know how to remove character like
1) full stop
2) spacing
3) Dash
4) Hyphen
5) Left and Right Slash
For example:-
016-2733(LS-800E)
MS12-FS4/2M
1/4"GTR
Output:
0162733LS800E
MS12FS42m
14GTR
When you want to use Data Validation to limit the entry of the number of characters to a cell does this apply only to the cell that you are entering the characters or can it also apply to a cell that contains a LEN(A1) formula, for instance? Also,does the Data Validation limitation function includes spaces as well? Will the message appear while you are entering the characters (when it has reached the limit) or will it wait until you have hit Enter?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe have a form that requires descriptive comments to be entered into several rows of merged cells. My goal is to have the form be able to automatically dropped down to the next row of merged cells when the current row of merged cells reaches a maximum number of characters.
And finally, the last row of merged cells would not allow any more characters than the maximum assigned but not advance to another cell automatically.
The rows I am working with specifically are:
Merged Cells F23:R23; A24:R24; A25:R25; A26:R26;...A29:R29
