Varying Lengths Of Digits

Jan 16, 2006

My data is as follows, all in one cell:

10015200 US Government Bonds 18,369,423.52
10012301 US Government Bonds 10,232.21

There are many varying lengths of digits. I am trying split off the numbers
to the right of US Government Bonds into another column. Here is my
formula:
=RIGHT(A7,IF(ISERROR(FIND(" ",A7)),LEN(A7),FIND(" ",A7)))

My result is 9,423.52. Its not pulling the whole number.

What do I need to change in the formula?

Sorting Numbers Of Varying Lengths

Aug 15, 2012

I am trying to do a VLOOKUP using a list based on our Part numbers in Excel 2007. When I do a normal sort it groups the numbers 1 thru 9 by the number of digits, giving me multiple list of 1 thru 9. When I do my lookup it will not find the shorter numbers. Is there some way to sort these Part numbers in order regardless of the number of digits?

Extract Varying Lengths Of Text

Jul 9, 2007

I have a column of data that contains suburb, state and postcode (zip code). I can extract the postcode quite easily using:

=RIGHT(H2,4)
However, sometimes there is one word for the suburb, and other times there are two or more words. Also, the state abbreviation contains either two or three letters:
MARYBOROUGH QLD 4650
BRAY PARK QLD 4500
TEA TREE GULLY SA 5091
Does anyone know of any code I could use to extract the three pieces of information into three new columns? (I.e. Suburb, State, Postcode)

I imagine the formula would contain some method of counting the number of paces; however, the number of spaces between each word may be more than one space.

Macro For Rows Of Varying Lengths

Jul 13, 2007

I paste in information in Columns A-E with varying lengths for each report that I need to generate (They generally range anywhere from 10-500 rows). I have formulas already in place in the first row of Columns F-L that need to be copied down as far as columns A-E go. I recorded a macro for this when I try to run the macro for another report with more or less row entries it copies down as far as the original recording was set. How do I make it so the rows will copy down just as many as I need and not some arbitrary number of rows? This is my first post so if any clarification is needed that's no problem.

Function To Work For Barcodes Of Varying Lengths?

Aug 4, 2014

Goal: To extract the barcode (numbers and letters between B/C: and , P/G) from the following string:

"Codec B/C: A01234567, P/G: 123456728912345"
Current Function: =MID(A1,(FIND("B/C:",A1)+5),(FIND("P/G:",A1)-14))

Problem: I need this function to work for barcodes of varying lengths. For example, in some cases the barcode may be 8 characters long and at other times the barcode will be 14 characters long etc.Below is a screenshot of how I have this currently set up in excel.

Extracting Substring Text Of Varying Lengths

Dec 6, 2013

I have figured out certain formulas that can get me pieces of the text substring, I am having difficulty finding an all in one solution that will allow me to run a macro and automate this process due to the nature of variability of the # of characters in the text string. The category and what I need to extract is as follows (Michigan Missing Zips roll up I can deal with):

MWR - Illinois - HORIZONTAL LATHES
MWR - Illinois

MWR - Illinois - MACHINING CENTERS - HORIZONTAL & OTHER
MWR - Illinois

MWR - Illinois - MACHINING CENTERS - VERTICAL
MWR - Illinois

Copying Contents Of Columns Of Varying Lengths

Feb 7, 2007

I export data from another programme into excel and I wish to write a macro to copy the contents of columns G, H, I and J and paste it into columns A, B, C, D but starting at row 4. I then carry out various formatting tasks. I have written a macro that works for the copy and paste and the formatting but it only works when the data is the same length. The length of the data exported varies each time and so I am looking for some code that stops at a blank cell and copies the range above. I believe this uses xlup or xldown.

Macro For Summing Columns Of Varying Lengths

Mar 16, 2007

Macro To Sum Or Subtotal Ranges Of Varying Lengths In A Column

May 1, 2014

I've reached a point in this macro where I'm stuck with NO clue how to achieve this, or even whether it can be done. In the Before sheet below, I need to bold the cells in H & I if the word "Total" is in G. I could probably manage that part, but here's the weird part: I need to add a formula to H & I of each row with "Total" in G to sum the numbers above it, from the previous total down to the current total. But there's no telling how long each range might be on a given report; from 1 row up to 8 rows.

THEN, in the second row below the end of columns H & I, I need to put a formula totalling all of the preceding Totals

I wonder if there might be a way to tell it to put a formula in H by each cell that has "Total" in G, with the formula summing or subtotalling everything from the cell in H that has data in F to the cell just above the "Total".

Flexibility- Allowing My Macro To Run In A More Global Environment With Varying Data-set Lengths

Aug 27, 2008

I'm having difficulty allowing my macro to run in a more global environment with varying data-set lengths.

For example:

Though the following "copy" scenario works for me when my data set is contained within cells B2:B35:
Range("A2:A35").Select
Selection.Copy

It does not allow me to work with a set of data that extends beyond this--say to B50 or B60. Is there any way to allow this command, and others, to be a bit more flexible with my data set lengths?

Varying Validation Drop-downs Based On Varying Cell Values

Aug 7, 2013

I am attempting to have cells in Column 'U' deliver different drop-down menus based on the corresponding value in column 'D'. I have created 7 named lists:

List_117G
List_152
List_JMET
List_XBAND
List_PACWIND
List_VORTEX
List_ROVER

Those lists will be called up based on 7 values in column “D”:
“G”
“152”
“J”
“X”
“D/E”
“V”
“R”

So far I have only been able to get this to work for the first category “G”. When I change the value of column “D” from “G” to “152” I no longer get a drop-down. Here is the formula I am using in the List function of validation.

=IF(D6="G",List_117G,IF(D6="152",List_152,IF(D6="J",List_JMET,IF(D6="X",List_XBAND,
IF(D6="D/E",List_PACWIND,IF(D6="V",List_VORTEX,IF(D6="R",List_ROVER,)))))))

Combine Rows Of Varying Length And Varying Number Of Occurrences

Jun 28, 2012

There are 11,000 rows and 4,000 are unique. The goal is to merge the data down to the 4,000 records. Each of the unique entries shows up 1 to 15 times.

In trying to solve this, I wonder if I should break this down into the different # of occurances and implement specific solutions. e.g., There are

5700 entries that show up 2x
504 that show up 3x
24 that show up 12x

VBA - Call Macros With Varying Names And On Varying Modules

Oct 2, 2013

I want to call a macro with a varying name that is within a module with the same name.

I have a module called Test1 and within this, a macro name called test1
I have a module called Test2 and within this, a macro name called test2
etc

On another module called Test8 (with the macro called Test8), this Test8 macro will call either Test1 or Test2 or Test3 etc depending on what I choose in an excel spreadsheet. So on sheet1, cell A1, there is a drop down with the options Test1 or Test2 or Test3 etc.

The following works to run the macro test1 from module test1 (when it does not vary i.e. i physically put in the name of the macro myself):

Sub Test3()
Test1.Test1
End Sub

The following works to run the macro test2 from module test2 (when it does not vary i.e. i physically put in the name of the macro myself):

Sub Test3()
Test2.Test2
End Sub
etc

However, if I try it so that the calling of the macro varies as below , it does not work:

Sub Test3()
MacroToCall = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Value
MacroToCall.MacroToCall
End Sub

Remove First X Digits And Last Y Digits From A Cell

Sep 25, 2009

I am editing a wine database which contains a vast amount of data, one column has the wine name and sometimes the vintage year in the begining or at the end of the cell. Sometimes the year is made of 2 digits (03, 05, ..) or 4 digits (1978, 2004, 2005, ...).
Is there a way to remove this vintage year form the string?

to make matters worse, there is often a single quote/apostrophe in front of the vintage year, which is driving me mad as 98% of the time it is one of these hidden ones that cannot be deleted using the find/replace function.

examples are like below:
De Wetshof Finesse/Lesca Cahrdonnay 07
De Wetshof Sauvignon Blanc 07
Lord Neethling Cabernet Franc 2002
Lord Neethling Pinotage 01
Bouchard Finlayson Tete de Cuvee Pinot Noir 07
Jacobsdal Pinotage 1994
Zondernaam Sauvignon Blanc 2007
Tokara Red
1976 St Emilion
03 Tokara rose
Plasir de Merle Cabernet Sauvignon 05
DuToitskloof Pinotage/Merlot/Ruby Cabernet
1999 Tradition Juracon 375ml

I have been searching the Internet for the past 2 days without luck on how to delete the end of string vintage year.

I have had some luck with the left side, as in:
=IF(ISERROR(VALUE(LEFT(B2,SEARCH(" ",B2)-1))),B2,MID(B2,SEARCH(" ",B2)+1,LEN(B2)))

As I am not an expert with Excel, I have no idea on how to use VBA (every time I have tried even basic things, I failed) nor even sure how the above funtion works (found it on another site).

I thought I could acheive my goal in two steps, first removing the left side vintage and use this partial result with the RIGHT equivalent funtion, but it simply is not working!

Does anyone have an idea on how to help with this?

Ideally I would love to cut the vintage year, whether 2 or 4 digit, whether on right or left of cell and paste it in another cell, so to avoid manually doing it.

However, this is surely too complicated to do, so iwould settle with just deleting the vintage year and manually typing the vintage in another cell.

Optimize Cut Lengths

May 20, 2009

I have a given length of steel bar...Example(550 feet)

I have various cut lengths that I can pick from...
14'-10".....13'- 9".. 12'-8"........(up to 6 different lengths)

I need to know the best combination of lengths to cut the long bar into to have minimal scrap left when we get to the end of the 550 feet.....

Cut as many of the longest cut lengths possiable.....Cut as few of the shortest cut lengths possiable

Due to the fact that I will have to convert this to a PLC application when completed, I want to find a mathmatical way to do this inside excel and not use the "solver"....Assuming that I/we can come up with an equation to do this .....

Formula For Columns Of Different Row Lengths

Feb 28, 2009

Say I am downloading a column of stock prices and it cannot be predicted precisely how many rows will be contained in each downloaded column.

The column is, however, always Column E.

Two formulas must be computed.

1) Last row with a price in column E / average (all rows, beginning with row 2 with prices in column E)

2) Last row with a price in column E / average (last 50 rows with prices in column E)

Can Excel manage the variable number of rows required for these formula, and if so, can somebody recommend how to write these formulae?

the offset figure is the distance the track or pole is set from the frame this can be adjustable by us or the end user

the radius measurement is a minimum and a maximum that the aluminium can be bent, will probably
be set parametrs to work with

Now bay widows come in all sorts of shapes and sizes

Autofill With Formula: Variable Lengths

Oct 3, 2007

need to autofill collum C with a formula related do collum B. If I do this by hand I just type the formula in C 1, and click on the right-down corner of the cell selection, and the formula goes until the last line (last value on collum B). But I want to create a macro to this function, and the problem is that the files that I will apply the macro have different lengths. I want to modify the macro to be able to run from C1 until the end of the values on collum B. I don't want to freeze the last value.

Here is the macro

Sub Macro3()

ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=60000/RC[-1]"
Range("C1").Select
Selection.AutoFill Destination:=Range("C1:C4819")
Range("C1:C4819").Select
Range("E7").Select

End Sub

In other files C4819 will not be the last value, could be 5345 for example, but its impossible to do this, my macro should do: "autofill collum C with a formula until the last value on collum B"

Extending Range Function To Account For Different Row Lengths?

Apr 25, 2014

VB recorder in Excel. The macro is designed to process a spreadsheet that will have the same number of columns and same type of data in each column, process this data with a formula (hat tip: AlKey+XOR LX) and then clean up the columns ready for use in another program.

I have got it working but when I alter the row length the macro only works to the final row in the recording spreadsheet. I realize this is because when recorded the macro I told VB to set the range to a given row.

I remember there is a way of setting the Range function that tells VB to always go to the bottom of the rows filled with data but I can't find it for the life of me.

see the attached file the training spreadsheet.
