the question: i'd like to split a large cell in to smaller, fixed-size cells (columns) by a standard formula.
example: consider cell A1 = 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ' i'd like a formula that created B1 = 'ABCDE' C1 = 'FGHIJ' D1 = 'KLMNO', etc
I used =Left (A1, 5) and got A1 = 'ABCDE' easily enough. I'm stumped at coming up with a formula that provides the next 5, and the next 5, etc.
the setup: if you want to know why i really need to solve the question i'm asking rather than using the split cell function:
i have a large set of data from a vendor. ideally, this worksheet will be used for other vendors that submit data similarly.
the script i'm writing takes a specific format--which i can't logically hold the vendors to. so, my specific formatting is on one sheet, referencing the data from each vendor on another sheet.
there is one field of data from vendors that is large ( >4000 characters, typically). however, this field makes my SQL server puke. i need to break this field down in to chunks of 1000 characters, and then re-concatenate after it leaves SQL to its final destination.
because i want to use some script automation to reuse this project, i'm reluctant to just use the split cell function to break up the data. rather i'd like to use whatever data is provided, and referentially split it up in my pre-formatted data.
I have a group trip coming up where we took in a $1000 deposit per person. The total amount is only in the main members cell. There will be two more payment amounts coming. I need to make certain each person has paid the total amount they are required for the trip. There are two possibilities for total trip amount. Double occupancy is $15,500.00 and Triple is $14,500 per person.
There is a unique Identifier for each registrant, except when there is a multiple person under one registration the identifier has all the same number except at the end. I figured out a way to strip the number down to just show the same number in one registered group. There could be up to 10 people under one registration. I might not have the best option for breaking down the Identifier number, but thought it would be a good start. Used the code Left(column, number).
Issue is this. How can I now take the total number of people under one group take the total deposit and split it between just that unique group so I can then determine what is still owed after payments are made.
The following code takes a large range of data (currently 20K+ rows) and breaks it out into separate worksheets. This takes a while, and I have been trying to insert a progress bar into this macro, but the progress bar goes in reverse (from 100 to 0) but the userform will not unload at the end.

On this forum, a script is provided to break a large Excel file into smaller 500-line files:
Split Worksheet Into Multiple Files By Every Nth Row
I copied the code and pasted it into the VBA editor in Excel 2007, but when I run the macro, it generates an error message: Runtime error 91: Object variable or With block variable not set.
The line the debugger identifies as the one with the error is this one: For lLoop = 1 To rLastCell.Row Step 500
Here is the full code from the previous thread: ...
I have a list of first names and surnames, the first name and surname are in one cell together but seperated by a commer.
For example in A1 would be Steve, Jones
What I want to do is have this split into two new cells. So in A2 I would have his first name and in A3 his surname. Formula to do this is what I cant get to work.
Ihave data in column "B" like bellow & i want split that one cell data to different cells base on space. i mean after each space data should add to next cell ( from column "C" data can split). (formula or macro)
I have many columns in my current spreadsheet but I have two columns that I want to split in to two project names.
Currently I have one column with: Project A/Project B And the second column with the total cost of Project A AND Project B combined
The thing is that I can easily just create a new line but that would mean all the data in the other Cells remain the same and the only two that will be different are the above two columns. I will be maintaining alot of rows so I was hoping I do not have to create two rows for every new item then to merge both rows in reach column every time I have to put in a new Item.
I am hoping to have for example the below
Name Comments Project Cost ------------------------------------------------- Item 1 This item relates Project A $150 to upgrade of Project B $120 SAS system ----------------------------------------------------
Currently I have it as
Name Comments Project Cost ------------------------------------------------- Item 1 This item relates Project A/B $270 to upgrade of SAS system ---------------------------------------------------
I have some data that is imported, it's about 25,000-30,000 characters and 2,300- 3,500 words, it all comes in as one cell, A1, if I do a text to column on it I will loose everything past column IV. Is there anyway a macro can take the data and put each word in a cell by its self starting in A2? The words a have a space between them.
I want to link a number of cells on one worksheet back to another worksheet within the same workbook. Say everything from Cells A1 to M90.
I find the fastest way to do this link A1 on second worksheet to A1 on first worksheet (by using = and click on worksheet 1 Cell A1). I then click on cell A1 on worksheet 2, grab small square in bottom right hand side of cell, and drag accross to M1. While A1 TO M1 is still highlighted, I then grab small square on bottom of cell M1 and drag down to M90.
This makes all cells within this range reference back to worksheet1. In advanced settings I have unchecked for all blank cells to show a zero in woksheet 2.
Therefore I now have what I currently want, although I would like to make all reference absolute?
I tried doing this from the beginning again making A1 absolute at the start, but dragging the cells across and down does not provide the info I am looking for in all cells?
I am receiving a new report from an external system. Unfortunate the system delivers many information within one cell, and it is not possible to reconfigure. These information are separate by a semi-colon or a semi-colon + space. separate the information in separate cells?
I have a spreadsheet that I have to extract from a web based report at work. The problem is that the column that contains the department name also contains the department code in brackets. For example cell A2 will have: (DE) Department A and cell A3 may be (DEPT) Department B.
Now as seen in the example above a code can range from 2 to 4 letters. I wondered if there was a way in code that would search for the ')' character and copy that to the M column and then copy the department name into the N column. So M2 would have 'DE' and column N2 will have 'Department A'.
Also in column G contains the grade name and grade point which are separated by a '/' I would like this to be copied to 2 separate cells say O2 and P2 and so on.
I know this can be done by a formula but I have to do this every month and it would be nice to just click a button to run a macro in my personal.xls file.
The row number various and are usually several thousand. I have attached a sample spreadsheet that only contains 4 rows of data.
I need to make sure that splited cells do not replace content of other cells. For example, if A1 has "SDR232, SDR634", this code will split them and put A1 to be "SDR232" and A2 to be "SDR634". BUT what it does is that it actually replaces whatever I have in A2. Is ther anyway to avoid replacing the content of A2?
Sub tst() Dim X As Variant X = Split(Range("A1").Value, ",") Range("A1").Resize(UBound(X) - LBound(X) + 1).Value = Application.Transpose(X) End Sub
What I got going on is a program I use for reporting is shooting out information.. while most of the information it sends to an excel workbook is sectioned by cell, there is a good chunk of information that's dumped into 1 cell. Is there a macro, or something, I can do to separate the information in this single cell, into separate cells? Auto Merged Post Until 24 Hrs Passes;Here is an example of the report. You'll notice a bunch of information in the 'Description' section. What I want to be able to do is run a macro that will seperate the 'Item Number', 'URL', 'Serial Number', 'Model Number', and 'Details' information into seperate cells.
I have a mass of data which look something like this:
table removed
and I require the ranges of reference numbers to be listed in a column one above the other, which requires inserting new rows. I also need the date & description columns copied down into the newly inserted rows.
So basically for example I would want the top row to now read:
table removed
and then apply the same procedure to the other ranges below this.
Here's my problem. I have a cell where there are many data strings seperated by ",". Each data string has a seperate value of its own like for e.g: A2: aa,ab,ac
String Value aa 1 ab 1 ac 3
What I want it accomplish is that, split the A2 cell into the different data string entities seperated by ",", then get the corresponding value of each of the data string entity, and to take the average of all the values of the different data string entities.
Is there a way to return not only one cell but two with LARGE?
I'm still working on my top 5 sellers list and trying to generate the list correctly. As of now when I have multiples of the same value I get the same name. Here's what I have now:
I have 500+ rows of data in column A (Credit), with corresponding data in column B (Cash). I use "=SUM(LARGE(A:A,{1,2,3}))" in C1 to find and sum the three largest "Credit" entries, how do I sum the corresponding cash values associated with those three large credit entries?
I have created a VBA which organizes data from duplicate accounts into a single row so that it is properly formatted for our email system. The one issue I am having trouble handling is cell overflow. Column B cannot end up with more than 5 pieces of information. Each piece of info is seperated by a comma. If there is overflow, the extra data needs to be moved to the following column.
With the example I have provided, you will see that after running the macro, cell B2 has 18 pieces of information. I need to expand the macro so B2 contains 5 pieces, C2 contains 5 pieces, D2 contains 5 pieces, etc.
I have the attached spreadsheet which makes the question easier to understand. Basically when you read across and down rows and columns, I'd like the intersecting cell to turn red if the horizontal and vertical row columns letters are different. So in the attached B5 is red because B1=A and A5 is B. Where the intersecting cells match in values, the cells will stay white.
I can create a formula to conditionally format one cell to red: =A2<>B1
But I have a large grid and it would mean re-creating each formula for each cell. How to expand it to the whole range?
