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 there was a way to block out the last for digits of the social security number? list of numbers are in d4-d20
Ex
123-23-5785
would be
123-23-XXXX (with X's)
or how ever is supposed to be i forget the (standard) format
XXX-XX-5785
For my assignment, I am supposed to create a worksheet that will generate a random social security number (using the correct social security form of 000-00-0000) There are supposed to be a billion social security possibilities and each should be equally likely to be selected in the worksheet.

for example -Eq Cash-
i need the result to be
Eq Cash
Also i have lots of front spaces in my data, how can i get rid of those? so for example
Test (there is 2 spaces before T)
I want to remove the front zero(s) from the front and put a space before the last two letters for the following column of data in Excel:
0001MG
0020MG
0100MG
1000MG
Final result will have this format and the data are right aligned.
1 MG
20 MG
100 MG
1000 MG
The numbers can vary (e.g. 0150MG, 0025MG,etc.) but the arrangement is always the same: four figures for the first 4 characters and two letters for the last two characters.
The format of the cells containing the data is: “General”
My table has 7 columns and these data are in the 5th column in a worksheet called “ProductSummary”. The number of rows for the records can vary from 10 to over a couple of hundred.
How can I use VBA to: 1) automatically select the table range in that worksheet and reformat all the data in the 5th column.
What would be the simplest VBA to determine if a cell E7 contains:
A federal ID always 9 digits with only one hyphen which is always after the 1st two numbers. For example: 12-3456789
or
A social security number always 9 digits with only two hyphens which are always 1 hyphen after the 1st 3 numbers & the other hyphen after the next 2 numbers. For example 123-45-6789.
In other words,
If Range("E7") = a federal id then
or
If Range("E7") = a social security number then
weeding out a huge file I have of 10,000 users. When the usernames and social security numbers were entered originally, there were many mistakes on the social numbers, some were longer than 9 numbers and some were shorter....well now I need to delete the rows of the numbers that are nonsense, so I need help in finding or creating a script that goes thru my XLS file and strips out all the rows with less than 9 or more than 9 characters....can someone direct me on how to do this? here is an example of what im talking about

I have a spreadsheet that I exported from my accounting software. For some reason there are 4 columns that all begin with an apostrophe and have various lengths of white space before the wording begins.
What kind of formula can I use to get rid of the apostrophe and have the wording be left aligned within the cell with no space before or after it?
The file I am working on is attached. They are columns C, D, E and F.
in creating a macro that will remove all frontspaces, trailing spaces from entire sheet + remove characters like (), *,-, &, @,/,',;,. from columns E and F,
in col E and F there should either be string or numbers, everything else should be removed.
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/trim in column B the last three characters in each cell so that I am only left with the first 12 characters.

View 4 Replies View RelatedCurrently I've been able to remove the prefixes and suffixes using the replace option as those were consistent across the data set, I'm now left with a series of numbers that look like this:

In most cases I need to remove the information after the last period. Some of the data has a space at the end, instead of a period and then some have no space or period but have the letter that needs to be dropped. I'm using xl 2011 for MAC.
See the attached file. I regularly receive input files which I have to reformat and upload to a website as a .csv. The website does not like the / between the characters on the Input Data tab. Is there a way to automatically search and remove them and leave the rest of the characters intact? The columns do not always appear in the same order and there could be more or less columns. On the Import Template tab, columns A-I will always be there, so ideally the code should make the changes from the Input Data tab and copy the present columns (J thru whatever) header and data over to the Import Template tab starting in 'J1'. I think that VBA would be the best way to go due to the variable nature of the columns.

Any formula to do this?
I ran a couple of formulas in column E and now it looks like as shown in the attached image.
The cells now contain different characters at end. Sometimes its a couple of commas, hyphens, blank spaces etc.
Is there a formula which can remove the ending characters in case they are not alphabets or numbers?
1. I am trying to remove some unwanted characters in the cells. I have in column A a list of stock counters preceeded by their tickers e.g.
1D42 - CM TEL
1G47 - CSE GLOBAL
Prior to exploring VBA, i was manually doing mid(A1,8,20) to remove those characetrs before the actual name starts but as my list goes on indefinitely, the numbers grow and now i have a few thousand stocks in my portfolio. Also, for some names i cannot use mid(A1,8,20) anymore if the tickers are longer than 5 or 6 characters or are simply shorter.
So now I am trying to see what code will enable me to remove all characters before the actual name i.e one character space right after the Hypen. The hypen only appears ONCE in the cell as the names will not contain them.
2. In addition, after all is removed, what is the code that will be needed to do an automatic Sort of the data corresponding to the stocks (From column A to K) based on alphabetical order?
I have a worksheet to keep track of products. I use an SKU column with a Unique Number to keep track of those items on the shelves.
When I started my project I never imagined that my database would grow as large as it has. I started my SKU numbers with 80000, never suspecting that I would get to 90000. I am now at 125700. Many items have been removed / sold so it only encompases only 15500 rows.
On the site that I sell these Items, the SKU's when displayed start with 100000 and go to 125700 where 80000 is next and goes to 99999? ( or the reverse depending on which tab I choose ) Not sure why this is but there is nothing I can do to change the way they do it so I must find a way to change my system. With all the 80000 - 99999 items numbered - changing them to 6 digit 125700+ numbers would be a huge undertaking so I would like to add a 0 in front of each 5 digit Number in my SKU Column. That way my items will show 080000- 125700 instead of starting in the middle.
I do keep the column my ascending order so it is currently formated as a Number. I do at times copy an paste or pull ranges items by SKU numbers to mark down or modify.
When I place a 0 manually in front of 80000- it disappears when I move from the Cell.
If I change it to a TEXT cell- it stays in place.
Excel help doesnt answer my dilemma-- nor does my book.
I see there are masks etc -- or is just text OK ? (as I stated - I do use an numbered order or range to identify groups of items at times )- if text is OK, what is the best way to add a 0 to the start of each 5 digit number other than individually ?
There are Gaps in my sequence so I cannot just replace the first cell with 080000 and pull down.
I am trying to create a CSV file to import all of our workers into a payroll software. Unfortunately the list of workers that I have been given to work with has a first and a last name together in one cell. I need to split them into separate cells so the data ends up in the right field in our software. By importing external data and separating the names with the comma as a delimiter, I have ended up with the first name in one cell and the second in another, which is exactly what I need. However, this process also ends up putting a quotation mark in front of the first names in the cells in column A, and a quotation mark after the second name in the cells in column B.
I remember to removing trailing spaces with a macro once, and I am hoping the same theory can be applied to make two macros - one to remove preceding quotation marks, and one to remove trailing quotation marks. The only trouble is, I know no VBA whatsoever, and don't even know how to make a macro unfortunately. Would someone mind letting me know if what I need is possible, and then - literally step by basic step - explain how to make a macro and provide the code to paste into it?
I'm needing some code that will remove an open quotation mark from the numerical value found in column A. This will be for every row with a numercal value.
example problem: "360015
example answer: 360015
All numbers will be 6 digits
And I've got another issue with numerals in column C. To the left side of the Cell there maybe a Number or Letter. To The Right side of the cell
there will be a single or double digit number. Both will be separted by some space (6-8 spaces). As in the examples below:
(again what you see on each line is in one cell in col. C.
R 59
E 6
0 4
I need the value on the left side of the cell to be moved concenate/merge with the values in column B.
There's will be approx 2000 rows that will need to be checked for this occurrance. Since there's so many rows,
I'd really would like to use VBA and not formulas to accomplish this.
Let us assume x and y are strings. Now let us make x equal to a small sentence (ie. full of words and spaces). I now need to somehow make y equal to x, but with the last word removed. I need to do this in VBA.

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 have an excel sheet with approx 30,000 rows of data.
These are all keyword phrases.
They can be related to any subject, but for this example these are related to the root keyword phrase of "car Rent"
I have some software which basically pulls in keyword phrases from search engines and meta tags etc, including misspelled keyword phrases.
My problem;
The data is uncleaned.
In other words there might be I think it's called "Carriage return" data in there, so the row of data might be very deep (Instead of a row height of say 10.5 it could be anything, IE some could be 100 or 200 even).
There are unwanted characters, for example; ()[]{}+?!""^*
(If it could delete all unwanted characters except for letters/digits)
There is a problem I see, that if it removes _ or - between words, that it will join the words together which won't be of any use. If it deletes anything with a letter either side of it or a letter and digit, or 2 digits, 1 either side it would then need to add a space to replace the hyphen.
So for example; if there was a phrase in the list like ....
reading a zero number in a cell
here an example :
on Cell A1 = 01
on Cell B2 = 10
so I write at C1 the formula is =left(A1,1) but how come the number that comes out is 1 not 0 (zero) ?
but if I write at D1 the formula is = right(A1,1) the number comes out is 0 (zero)
how to make the formula that can read the zero in Cell C1?
I have a list of numbers with 2, 3, and 4 digits. Is there a formula that can recognize if there are only 2 digits, it will add 2 zeros in front of the number.
For example,
47 will become 0047
234 will become 0234
1234 will become 1234
