I need to extract text between (" text ") from a column
I tried =REGEXEXTRACT(A2, "(?<=(")\w+") but there's a formula parse error.

I'm expecting a column with just text

I am looking for an excel formula that either counts or returns true if the cell contains a word pattern (basically wanted to know if any such cell exists), but formula shall recognize a cell as valid only if
Requirement 1 : complete word pattern to be present and as a single word in the cell being checked(Eg: if ab12 is pattern, ab123 is not valid, only ab12 is valid)
Requirement 2 : the matching word can be either in the beginning or end or in middle of the cell being checked
Requirement 3 : The input cell(s) being checked may contain this matching word and can contain prefix/suffix as " "(space) or a line break/feed . Hence, the formula shall identify this cell as valid for both these scenarios
Example word pattern : ab-1_cd_1234
At the moment I have tried both formulas below (also tried with " ","*","~" in the criteria) but didnt work :
Formula 1 : =ISNUMBER(SEARCH(A2,B2))
Here, A2 is the pattern, B2 is the input to verify and will be verified in full B column
Formula 2 : =COUNTIF($B:$B, "* " &A2& " *")
Here, B:B is the input column and A2 is the pattern
Also, I got to know that there is a wildcard in word < and > that defines a word beginning and end, but the same didnt work in excel.
So, it would be great if I can get any formula that works in excel
You can try following formula:
=SUMPRODUCT(--($A$2=FILTERXML("<a><b>" & SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(B2,CHAR(10),"</b><b>")," ","</b><b>") & "</b></a>","//b")))>0
Edit
To solve problem with empty strings:
=SUMPRODUCT(--($A$2 & "#"=FILTERXML("<a><b>" & SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(B2,CHAR(10),"#</b><b>")," ","#</b><b>") & "#</b></a>","//b")))>0
Edit 2:
To count number of cells which contains pattern you can use array formula:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(IFERROR(SEARCH(" " & A2 & " "," " & SUBSTITUTE($B$2:$B$10,CHAR(10)," ") & " "),0)>0))
Array formula after editing is confirmed by pressing ctrl + shift + enter
Please try this formula, where A3 is a text to be searched and the text to be found is in A1.
=IF(ISERROR(FIND(" "&$A$1&" "," "&SUBSTITUTE(A3,CHAR(10)," ")&" ")),"",TRUE)
I have always had a problem importing phone numbers from CSV files into Outlook. Now I am working with Excel to clean up the telephone fields which should be in +1 545 254-2351 format.
I need to first test to see if the cell is empty containing the telephone number and if false to convert the contents of the cell to TEXT. I have written the following formula to no avail.
=IFS(ISBLANK(A5),"",ISTEXT(A5),A5,TEXT(A5,0))
In theory if A5 is blank it will return a blank cell. If it is not blank then if A5 is TEXT the result will be just A5. If it is not text i.e. a number, then it converts a5 to text.
This does not work. Can someone help me with this?
If we assume that A5 can contain either:
Text like: +1 545 254-2351
blank
Number like: 15452542351
Then in B5 enter:
=IF(ISBLANK(A5),"",IF(ISTEXT(A5),A5,("+" & LEFT(TEXT(A5,"#"),1) & " ") & MID(TEXT(A5,"#"),2,3) & " " & MID(TEXT(A5,"#"),5,3) & "-" & RIGHT(TEXT(A5,"#"),4)))
Is there a function that I can use to remove the first few characters from a cell?
Example
1 some text
23 some more text
I need to remove the numbers so that the cells read
some text
some more text
You can use LEFT, RIGHT and MID functions to slice bits of Text out of a cell, and LEN to find the number of characters in a cell. The FIND function will return the position of a specified bit of text within a cell. And you can use the & operator to join text together
So If A1 holds "some text 23 some more text" then the following formula in B1
=LEFT(A1,10)&RIGHT(A1,14)
would return "some text some more text"
If the numbers are randomly interspersed within the text however, then you will have to resort to VBA to remove them
If you only need to remove numbers (as in all numbers) from a cell you can also repeatedly use SUBSTITUTE
=SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A1,0,""),1,""),2,""),3,""),4,""),5,""),6,""),7,""),8,""),9,"")
Though it would leave behind double spaces " " in the end so you might want substitue those double spaces with single spaces. In the following it replaces it 5 times (assuming the text would be something like some text 23 01 52 63 some more text
=SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A1,0,""),1,""),2,""),3,""),4,""),5,""),6,""),7,""),8,""),9,"")," "," ")," "," ")," "," ")," "," ")," "," ")
I have situation like his
Text Number Letter Color
empty 1 A Blue
I want to put vales from Number, Letter and Color in Text field to look like this:
Text Number Letter Color
Number is: 1 1 A Blue
Letter is: A
Color is: Blue
How to put all this value from other fields with some extra text into one field in excel?
use
="Number is: " & B2 & char(10) & "Letter is: " & C2 & Char(10) & "Color is: " & D2
Make sure WrapText is enabled.
If you have TEXTJOIN then you can use this array:
=TEXTJOIN(CHAR(10),,$B$1:$D$1 & " is: " & B2:D2)
Being an array formula it must be confirmed with Ctrl-Shift-Enter instead of Enter when Exiting edit mode.
TEXTJOIN was introduced with Office 365 Excel
To do in separate cells put this in the first cell:
=INDEX($B$1:$D$1,,ROW(1:1)) & " is: " & INDEX($B$2:$D$2,,ROW(1:1))
And copy down.
Excel Method
Use the formula =INDEX($C$1:$E$1,,ROW(1:1)) & " is: " & INDEX($C$2:$E$2,,ROW(1:1)) INSIDE EACH Cell you want it to copy the data from.
GOOGLE SHEET METHOD
You can use the formula: ={{"Number is: ", C2}; {"Letter is: ", D2}; {"Color is: ", E2}} In any 1 cell. Giving you this.
I have a question regarding Microsoft Excel.
I have a very large data .csv file. I want to sort this file horizontally, but there is can't seem to find how. Now my data looks like this:
I need to do the following:
For every value before the ‘:’ in the cell, there must be made a column where all the data with the same value before the ':' is placed in.
Please help me, and send me in the right direction.
Kind regards,
With Few Excel Formulas, we can separate the VALUE after and before " : "
Let's Suppose we have our Value at Cell "A1"
Get Value BEFORE " : "
=LEFT(A1,FIND(":",A1,1)-1)
Here is the Screen Short for Getting Before ":" Value
Get Value After " : "
=RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND(":",A1,1))
Here us the Screen Short for Getting After ":" Value
NOTE : You can use can Character instead of " : "like " $ " " , " " _ "
I have seen your File you need to Insert a column before the value
column and Insert the formula and drag it to the end.
