I have a bunch of variables in the form of one, two, three, four_five and I'd like to turn them to getOne, getTwo, getThree, getFourFive...
I wrote a formula that achieves what I want for the first three ones, but I can't achieve the CamelCase to variables with two words (or more) separated by an underscore.
So the formula I wrote is this:
=CONCAT("get";UPPER(LEFT(A1;1));RIGHT(A1;LEN(A1)-1))
How can this be expanded to achieve what I need? TIA
Using SUBSTITUTE and PROPER:
="get"&SUBSTITUTE(PROPER(A1),"_","")
Since your version of Excel uses ; as the list separator:
="get"&SUBSTITUTE(PROPER(A1);"_";"")

What im working with
I have a list of product names, but unfortunately they are written in uppercase I now want to make only the first letter uppercase and the rest lowercase but I also want all words with 3 or less symbols to stay uppercase
im trying if functions but nothing is really working
i use the german excel version but i would be happy if someone has any idea on how to do it im trying different functions for hours but nothing is working
=IF(LENGTH(C6)<=3,UPPER(C6),UPPER(LEFT(C6,1))&LOWER(RIGHT(C6,LENGTH(C6)-1)))
but its a #NAME error excel does not recognize the first and the last bracket
This is hard! Let me explain:
I do believe there are German words in the mix that are below 4 characters in length that you should exclude. My German isn't great but there would probably be a huge deal of words below 4 characters;
There seems to be substrings that are 3+ characters in length but should probably stay uppercase, e.g. '550E/ER';
There seem to be quite a bunch of characters that could be used as delimiters to split the input into 'words'. It's hard to catch any of them without a full list;
Possible other reasons;
With the above in mind I think it's safe to say that we can try to accomplish something that you want as best as we can. Therefor I'd suggest
To split on multiple characters;
Exclude certain words from being uppercase when length < 3;
Include certain words to be uppercase when length > 3 and digits are present;
Assume 1st character could be made uppercase in any input;
For example:
Formula in B1:
=MAP(A1:A5,LAMBDA(v,LET(x,TEXTSPLIT(v,{"-","/"," ","."},,1),y,TEXTSPLIT(v,x,,1),z,TEXTJOIN(y,,MAP(x,LAMBDA(w,IF(SUM(--(w={"zu","ein","für","aus"})),LOWER(w),IF((LEN(w)<4)+SUM(IFERROR(FIND(SEQUENCE(10,,0),w),)),UPPER(w),LOWER(w)))))),UPPER(LEFT(z))&MID(z,2,LEN(v)))))
You can see how difficult it is to capture each and every possibility;
The minute you exclude a few words, another will pop-up (the 'x' between numbers for example. Which should stay upper/lower-case depending on the context it is found in);
The second you include words containing digits, you notice that some should be excluded ('00SICHERUNGS....');
If the 1st character would be a digit, the whole above solution would not change 1st alpha-char in upper;
Maybe some characters shouldn't be used as delimiters based on context? Think about hypenated words;
Possible other reasons.
Point is, this is not just hard, it's extremely hard if not impossible to do on the type of data you are currently working with! Even if one is proficient with writing a regular expression (chuck in all (non-available to Excel) tokens, quantifiers and methods if you like), I'd doubt all edge-case could be covered.
Because you are dealing with any number of words in a cell you'll need to get crafty with this one. Thankfully there is TEXTSPLIT() and TEXTJOIN() that can make short work of splitting the text into words, where we can then test the length, change the capitalization, and then join them back together all in one formula:
=TEXTJOIN(" ", TRUE, IF(LEN(TEXTSPLIT(C6," "))<=3,UPPER(TEXTSPLIT(C6," ")),PROPER(TEXTSPLIT(C6," "))))
Also used PROPER() formula as well, which only capitalizes the first character of a word.
I have the following table, and would like to identify the cells (as HIT) that contain characters other than
letters
dot .
single quotation
Which formula can I use for this? I've tried different functions, they don't seem to work.
I think there will be a bunch of possibilities. Here is one using the logic that we will check every character in your string against all characters you'd like to exclude:
Formula in B2:
=IF(SUM(--ISERROR(SEARCH(MID(A2,SEQUENCE(LEN(A2)),1),"abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'. "))),"Hit","No Hit")
Note: I deliberately included a space since you seems to be wanting to exclude that too.
Other options could be:
=IF(REDUCE(LOWER(A2),MID("abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz.' ",SEQUENCE(29),1),LAMBDA(a,b,SUBSTITUTE(a,b,"")))<>"","Hit","No Hit")
Or with FILTERXML():
=IF(ISERROR(FILTERXML("<t><s>"&LOWER(A2)&"</s></t>","//s[translate(., ""abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz.' "", '')!='']")),"No Hit","Hit")
Though these options are more verbose and both SUBSTITUTE() and FILTERXML() are case-sensitive whereas SEARCH() is not.
So, perhaps easier to do:
IF(MAX(IFERROR(FIND(".",A1,1),0),IFERROR(FIND("'",A1,1),0))>0,"No Hit","Hit")
I did not include a space but that is easily edited in.
I have a list of item numbers (100K) like this:
Some of the items have format like SAG571A-244-4 (thousands) which need to be filtered so I can delete them and only keep the items that have ONE hyphen per SKU. How can I isolate the items that have two instances of "-" in it's SKU? I'm open to solutions within Excel or using VBA as well.
Native text filters don't seem to be capable of this. I'm stumped.
As per John Coleman's comment, "*-*-*" can be used to isolate strings that have at least two dashes in them.
I would add that if you're entering them as a custom text filter, you should lose the double quotes (so just *-*-*) as otherwise the field seems to interpret the quotes literally.
Seems to work for me.
If you want just an excel formula to verify this and give you a result of the number of hyphens (0, 1, or 2+), here is one:
=IF(ISERROR(SEARCH("-",A1)),"0",IF(ISERROR(SEARCH("-",A1,IFERROR(SEARCH("-",A1)+1,LEN(A1)))),"1","2+"))
Replace A1 with your relevant column, then fill down. This is kind of a terrible way to do this performance wise, but you avoid using VBA and possibly xlsm files.
The code first checks to see if there is one hyphen, then if there is it checks to see if there is another hyphen after the position the first one was found. Looking for multiple hyphens in this manner is cumbersome and I don't recommend it.
Does any of you know if exist any function to split the double brake line to column? I do know how to split by spaces like: =SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(B2;CHAR(13);"");CHAR(10);"|"), but I want something like the image bellow:
The solution is depend on your string. If you have only one separation as shown, you can use following equations.
for the 1st part
=LEFT(SUBSTITUTE(A1,CHAR(10),",",1),FIND(",",SUBSTITUTE(A1,CHAR(10),",",1),1)-1)
for the 2nd part
=MID(SUBSTITUTE(A1,CHAR(10),",",1),FIND(",",SUBSTITUTE(A1,CHAR(10),",",1),1)+1,10000)
This is independent from the number of consecutive char(10) characters between text.
Just use two different formulas, there are many ways you could go about it. Say something like =LEFT(A1,FIND(CHAR(10),A1)) for the first column and =RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-SEARCH(CHAR(10),A1)) for the second one.
I have below string in csv files
Part Number WP1166496 (AP6005317) replaces 1166496, 1156976.
Expected Output -
Part Number WP1166496 replaces 1166496, 1156976.
I want to replace (AP6005317) this with blanks.
As there are many rows with different values.
So how can I replace this string with brackets to blanks value.
I don't know how to achieve this exactly in Microsoft Excel.
If you look for find and replace feature, most probably you can see option to replace with regular expressions.
Use regular expression option and replace \(.*\) with (simple space). This will solve your problem.
Note : This is tested and verified in LibreOffice Calc.
