Remove Portions Of Formula Based On Surrounding Characters?
May 13, 2014
I have about 25 workbooks with 180 formulas in them that I would like changed. The formulas are all in the range I10:Q29 and all have the same basic structure:
[Code]....
I would like to remove "filepath1!cell1*filepath1!cell2-" and "filepath1!cell2-" so that only "(filepath2!cell3*filepath2!cell4)/(filepath2!cell4)" remains.
My VBA is pretty weak, but I imagine it should be possible to use something like the VBA equivalent of len() and mid() to isolate the components of the equation to the left of the - in the numerator and denominator, and remove those components (as well as the -) from the formula.

Having the Zip Code Tabulation Module from the US Census Bureau, I have the following and much more. But based on the 3 items :
5-digit Zip Code, Longitude, Latitude.
I'm wanting to Select a Zip Code and have (let's say) several Zip Codes plotted (maybe 4 - 10) out from the center point of the map.
either with, or without a connecting straight line .
And possibly a Scalable Miliage indicator |---- 10 Miles ----| which would be based on the distance.

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")? blankor 0would exclude these numbers, i.e. would return "nlgahighstreeten"

I have set up a formula to sum data from specific columns in multiple sheets in the same file. The simple formula had worked perfectly until I needed the data from the last sheet. In all of the other sheets the data that I need to pull is all in consecutive rows but in the last sheet the data that I need pulled and added is in every 4th row. The sheet looks like this:
All of the columns I've filled in work fine. The ones blank are the ones I am running into issues with. When I drag down the formulas excel pulls the next consecutive rows, which is perfect for the first four sheets I am summing, but for the fifth sheet (I'll ref the Test1 column) I need it to pull 'Wayne 2014'!C6 and then 'Wayne 2014'!C10 in the next row and so forth.
Date
All Test
Test1
Test2
Test3
Test4
$ Amt.
Jan.16
=SUM(C2+D2+E2+F2)
[Code] ........
The first four sheets look like this, which is why they work fine:
Date
All Test
Test1
Test2
Test3
$ Amt.
Jan. 16
=SUM(C2:E2)
[Code] ........
The fifth sheet looks like this: I only want the formulas from the first sheet to pull the data from the dated rows in this sheet.
Date
All Test
Test1
Test2
Test3
$ Amt.
Jan. 16
=SUM(C2:E2)
=SUM(C3:C5)
[Code] ......
Is there any way in Excel 2010 to get it do what I want? (I am not sure how that one cell became outlined and I do not know how to fix it.)

I'm trying to remove everything after a specific character in a string.
I.e. change a website address to the hostname
http://www.excelforum.com/newthread.php
http://usa.excelforum.com/forum/new
to
excelforum.com
usa.excelforum.com
I'm using this formula, which strips the http:// and the www., but does not replace the characters after the first remaining "/" as the wildcard is not recognized.
=SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A2,"www.",""), A2,"http://",""), A2, "/*", "")

I have to manually go through about 9,000 workbooks. In cell E43 of a certain sheet called "list" I have to delete underscores(_) and replace them with a single space. and remove the Rev** after each name
In example: company_name_t45671000_RevA2
Will look like this when I'm done: company name t45671000
Now I've tried to make a Macro that will delete the underscores and the Rev which worked fine except that it replaced the names with the the name that the macro was recored under.
IE: The first sheet I done worked fine when I hit the keyboard shortcut command which was company_name_t45671000_RevA2.
The second workbook sheet of "list" got fixed but had the name of the one I fixed before it: company name t45671000, where it should have been "company name s6743245.
Is there a way around this?
Also sometimes the sheets are protected, is there a way to incorporate "unprotect sheet" when it needs to be unprotected and then after the file has been corrected, re-enable protection again?

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.

I have a set of data in column a that consists of email addresses. These email addresses all have underscores after them, ie "abc@hotmail.com_______". It will be a different amount of underscores everytime and I don't want underscores to be removed that are actually part of the address. I had been using the find replace function through vba, ie
Range("A:A").Select
Selection.Replace What:="_", Replacement:="", LookAt:=xlPart, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False, _
ReplaceFormat:=False
however this ofcourse removes from actual parts of the email address. Is there a way to do this?

The macro I have select 2 columns and 2000 rows. I need a VBA code that will loop through each of these 4000 cells and remove all characters (replace them with blanks) that are not a number, a period or a decimal. Characters from other languages like Chinese, Japanese and Russian should also be removed.

I am trying to reformat the following data: 10-10-14-1W5 needs to look like this 100101001401W500. The full description is actually 100/10-10-014-01W500 the desired result is without the slashes and dashes. I have tried to add a custom cell format of 00-00-000-00L000. but it will not apply to the existing data.

I've come across multiple times where I have to do this same sort of task, and I don't think I am doing it the most efficient way.
What I need to do is take a variable which holds a string and remove the last 9 characters from it. Don't need to know what the last 9 characters are, all I care about is knowing what the other characters are in the string. I know this can be done through thingslike susbstrings, but I don't think VBA has a substring function.

I am trying to remove all characters that aren't letters or numbers from a string. Is there any way to differentiate between a non-alphanumeric characters and alphanumeric characters? I'm thinking of something like "ISTEXT()" that I could use on one character at a time. Or are there any wildcards I could use in the Replace function?

I have a column of data, (10,000 entries), a list of file names basically, e.g:
Mortality Project Executive Summary.pdf
RPP - AA rate and swaps.xls
Commodities.PPT presentation.ppt
Meeting Preparation 20090302.docx
Anywho the point is I want to remove the file extensions (and of course the "."s just before), but some obviously have 4 character extensions, some 3, some 2 etc... Some documents also have "."s in the file name that I do not want to remove, basically just working from the right keep removing until the first "." is removed.
So the final list wants to be:
Mortality Project Executive Summary
RPP - AA rate and swaps
Commodities.PPT presentation
Meeting Preparation 20090302
I know I should VBA it, but I want it all in the one spreadsheet and that's a bit above me. The document has about 30 other columns.

my values within column A are separated by a dash. I'd like column B to continuously copy column A with the exception of the characters after the dash. example:
____A_____________B
12345-456_______12345
22456-333_______22456
1553665-45______15553665
How can I format cell B to constantly reproduce this result?

I have several hundred columns of data in this format: |#########|. I need to remove the non-numeric characters on the edges of the numbers so I can manipulate them. Is there an easy way to do this? I do not want to manually remove all of the characters.

I have very large text data which contains accented characters (E.g., "ÑÒÓÔÕÖÙÚÛÜÝàáâãäåçèéêëìíîïðñòóôõöùúûüýÿˆµ" etc.) within words.
Since I have several data sheets, some of which having 500000+ rows, Find and Replace and similar options are not viable.
I wish to replace each of these characters with regular English characters in all sheets. If that is difficult, these must at least be removed from the whole text. note that I need to preserve regular characters that are commonly used, particularly the hyphen (-) and underscore (_).

I 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
