Remove All The Dashes
Jun 14, 2006
Have a column containing data which may have 1-3 dashes locates within
each cell value.
Such as:
125-457A
158-857-1116
124184A-1
125-8745-22D9
458-2145-002-7
Would like to remove all the dashes "unless" the last dash to the right
is followed by a just a single digit. The results would be as follows:
125457A
1588571116
124184A-1
125874522D9
4582145002-7
On the example data, it kept 2 of the dashes in the cell values,
because the were only one digit away from the extreme right, but
removed all others.

I have a column of city names, some are one word and others are two or more. I am trying to take the city name and add it to another word, add dashes in between them and make everything lower case. For example:
Column 1, Cell 1 is: San Diego
I'd like it to look like: books-san-diego (books being the keyword I'd like to insert before the city.)

I have a column of data (column A) with cells that have IDs (alpha-numeric) that contain anywhere between 0 to 5 dashes. Since this column will change weekly, I want to dynamically pull only those cells that contain 3 dashes.
Example:
10648145-3026718-t526363536m
09wcg7-s1s89-wtpxm33-uu6jj0-9y8mv-v1
10658575-2349769-
I would only want to have returned 10648145-3026718-t526363536m since it contains 3 dashes. Do you know of a nifty formula for doing this? I think an array would get me the dynamic piece (so they are not spaced out).

I have entries that look like this - 300-7188258-1
300-8983980-5
I need to remove the dashes. I find and replace all - with nothing. that has worked for YEARS. Seems simple to me.
Today, when I do it, Excel leaves the "300" and removes everything else. I even did a CLEAN function and it still does it.

I'm trying to find a way to have excel 2003 format the data I put in a cell to auto insert dashes every five characters. I'm entering product keys for the software we have on hand, and it would be a little quicker if I could simply have excel auto format the data entered in to include dashes every five characters.
Example:
- I would enter: D5ATT3D28F6F44536489413E2 (This is a fake, non-working product key, I just typed in random numbers a letters.)
-Excel would format it like: D5ATT-3D28F-6F445-36489-413E2

I have this script that does what i need it to do but one thing, I need the script to count the numbers as digits only and not the dashes in the format.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Count 1 Then Exit Sub
If Intersect(Target, Range("I21:I24")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.EnableEvents = False
If (Len(Target) > 11) Or (Len(Target) < 10) Then
MsgBox "Not a valid number of characters, please try again"
Target.Value = vbNullString...................

I believe I have 99% of what I need. The code below has one bug. (See just the underlined text for a very quick overview. The rest is detail.)
My goal is to generate a TOC that:
1) has the VBA run from my Personal Workbook.
2) can be run in any worksheet of any open workbook.
3) can be run in a worksheet of any name.
4) will insert itself at the currently active cell.
5) has entries hyperlinking to the referenced worksheets - of any name.
Right now, I'm stuck with the last point. The macro below will generate the TOC at the currently active cell. The TOC will be hyperlinks to the referenced worksheets.
However, if the referenced worksheet contains a space, dash, or other special character then the generated hyperlink is broken. For example, if the referenced worksheet is "sheet1" then the hyperlink generated works just fine. However, if the referenced worksheet is "sheet-1" then the generated hyperlink doesn't work.
Sub IndexList()
Dim objSheet As Object
Dim intRow As Integer
Dim strCol As Integer
Set objSheet = Excel.Sheets
intRow = ActiveCell.Row 'Start writing in active row
strCol = ActiveCell.Column 'Start writing in active column
For Each objSheet In ActiveWorkbook.Sheets
Cells(intRow, strCol).Select
ActiveSheet.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=Selection, Address:="", SubAddress:= _
objSheet.Name & "!A1", TextToDisplay:=objSheet.Name
intRow = intRow + 1
Next
End Sub

I am needing a custom format for the following. I need a cell entry to be 1 letter, three numbers, a dash, 5 numbers, a dash, two numbers, a dash, and then two number. Example: A109-54785-13-00. The first letter will almost always be an "A."
To further complicate the matter, the entry is copied from an email and pasted without the dashes. In the above example, the number in the email would read, "A109547851300." I copy it from the email and paste it in the proper cell in the worksheet. I would like the custom format to automatically enter the dashes at the appropriate spot.
If it was all numbers, this would be easy. I created a custom format for the numbers, but when the A is included, Excel no longer treats it as a number and the custom format did not work.
Is this possible in Excel (without VBA).
I could use the custom number format I created and then later go back and add the "A" at the beginning, but that is as much work as manually adding the dashes.

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 am trying to find the solution for the problem I faced after downloading the "Color Filter" utility from this forum (Handle Duplicates & Color Filter)
I really do not understand why I was banned. I've downloaded utility from THIS forum and have kindly asked help on how to remove it because it does not meet my needs. I am not an expert in VBA and expected that somebody could help me. (It looks like the person providing the utility in the above indicated post shared the password as everybody is thanking him but I don't see where it is!)
I just want to remove the utility from my PC!!! And, if I can do this without bloody password than I do not want it! But, can somebody just explain me if there is another way to remove this from my PC or I have to reinstall EXCEL ?
I must say that I find it really increadible for beeing banned twice for no reason. Isn't it worse to place the password protected utility so that the one dowloading it cannot remove it anymore?

Is there a way to setup a spreadsheet so data that has been entered cannot ne deleted or edited, and only the last field in the column can be accessible? So if I have info entered in a1, a2, a3, b1, b2, b3, no one can edit or delete them, and can only add to a4 and b4? Will I need to write a macro for this or is it something I can do with certain settings?

An apostrophe has appeared at the beginning of the words and/or numbers in the cells. I have tried using the "Replace" feature to remove these apostrophes and it won't work. I need to remove the apostrophes so I can upload our inventory, as the SKU must be pulled exactly.

There are 2 sheets in the file attached.
-Data : Contain all the acc number and balance.
-Working : a sheet for my working to derive what I want . A string contain all the Acc Number
Bascially first I will paste and copy the acc number and balance from an external source to Data, then I wan to create a string of all the acc. This is done by the working from my Working Sheet.
In my Working Sheet, first It will take the value from the Data Sheet. Since the number of Acc / Balance may differ, I wan to know how to remove the 0 and #Num! for those null values.
Following that, I create a column sorting the all number from smallest to biggest, following by next column forming up the string. I do not want the same Acc to repeat in the string.

I am looking to remove the daily expenses summary sheet and continue to use the expenses detail sheet, but on the main weekly business sheet where you enter the financials, I need the expenses line to contain expenses for each day.
It is my intention to simply enter monday in the day colum in the expenses detail sheet and in the weekly business sheet it would pick this up.
So the formula I had was =ifsum(!expenses detail a2:a40, !expenses detail monday, e2:e4) This formula is giving me a name error.
Am I using the wrong formula. Basically I want this type of formula so under the expenses row for mon-sun it will add this up.

I've been sent a document by a client which has come with an add-in which has automatically installed itself into the Ribbon. It's on the Add-In tab (obviously!) and the Command Group is named 'Custom Toolbars'. What's annoying is once I close the document, the Add-In stays there and I have a redundant tab with an irrelevant Command Group .
Now, I've done a bit of searching and how found a number of websites that give instructions on add-ins. However, the add-in that has come with the client's document isn't on the list and hence I can't remove it. I need to do to get rid of this? I've contacted the client, but they're suspiciously quiet about the whole thing.
