I have an Excel spreadsheet with 7 cells (in a column) with data in, these are C13 to C19
I have a formula that combines all the data in these cells together and puts it into one cell, this formula is =C13&", "&C14&", "&C15&", "&C16&", "&C17&", "&C18&", "&C19 and works fine. However, can I alter this formula to miss out on any cell that contains the text "Nothing else carby"?
You may, in Excel 2019, use:
=TEXTJOIN(", ",,IF(C13:C19<>"Nothing else carby",C13:C19,""))
If "Nothing else carby" can be a substring inside a cell's value, try:
=TEXTJOIN(", ",,IF(ISNUMBER(FIND("Nothing else carby",C13:C19)),"",C13:C19))
Confirm through CtrlShiftEnter
The formula should not be that long, as you can see:
=TEXTJOIN(",",TRUE,IF(C13:C19="Nothing","", C13:C19))
(I just used "Nothing" instead of the whole word for readability reasons.)
Explanation of the parameters:
"," : delimiter: between every cell content, a comma is added.
TRUE : treatment of blank cells (don't put them).
IF (...) : In case cell content is "Nothing", put an empty string.
In combination with the previous parameter,
just one comma will be put in the result:
"a,b,c,e,f,g" and not "a,b,c,,e,f,g" (see result).
Used data:
a
b
c
Nothing
e
f
g
Result:
a,b,c,e,f,g

I have sheet of data in excel. In column BF, when I select the BF1 to BF7 it shows there are 3 counts however, I failed to determine what that value is or why excel is counting a seemingly blank cell, BF3. I tried to change color of font of cell BF3, and I used 2 formulas to test it, still I can't figure out what the cell value is.
First formula I used =isblank(BF3) and second formula I used =value(BF3) and still no luck. Clearly the cell is not blank but what is it ?
Give this a try:
=IF(ISBLANK(BF3),"Truly empty",IF(LEN(BF3)=0,"Null value","Character code: " & CODE(BF3)))
where Null value means that BF3 contains something like:
=""
or its equivalent.
(An alternative:)
=IF(ISBLANK(BF3),"Truly empty",IF(LEN(BF3)=0,"Null value","Character code: " & UNICODE(BF3)))
If it is some weird Unicode character.
SO I have a bunch of named cells in Excel (latest version) and I'm trying to use the following formula to reference them without copying zeroes :
=IF(named_cell,named_cell,"")
but I get #VALUE! However if I use
=named_cell
it works fine. Why isn't it working in the IF formula ????
It depends exactly what you want to test for:
=IF(OR(LEN(named)=0,named=0),"",named)
Tests for a single named cell containing zero or empty (but not a space character).
Use the names properly (make sure named_cell contains a Boolean):Cell A1 has the Name "ayeone" and the value TrueCell B1 has the Name "beeone" and the value BeeCell C1 has the formula: =IF(ayeone,beeone,""):
In VBA:
Sub WhatsInAName()
MsgBox Range("ayeone").Address & vbCrLf & Range("ayeone").Value
End Sub
If the named cells contain either text or are blank (no true numbers), zeroes returned from blank cells can be avoided by appending a zero-length string to the result.
=named_cell&""
This method can also be applied to VLOOKUP or INDEX/MATCH that would return zeroes from blank cells.
I am trying to add the text Unknown to a column if the cell is blank and if there is a value or text in the cell, then to leave it. Everything I have tried adds the text if blank, but it also writes over cells that had values already.
Column E
Graduate
Undergraduate

I have tried:
= IF (E2 <> "", E2, "Uknown")
= IF(ISBLANK(E2),"Uknown", E2)
= IF (NOT(ISBLANK(E2)), E2, "Unknown")
I messed up the cell values, but instead of adding Unknown it is appending zeroes.
You cannot have functions and data in the same cell.
Two options:
- add a new column for the funcions, and hide the original
- or just simply replace empty cells with a value you like
Try this one line macro:
Sub unknown()
Columns(5).SpecialCells(4).Value = "UNKNOWN"
End Sub
I found this on another stackoverflow question. This may get you started. =IF(AND(C3 = "", 0 < B3, B3 < 5000), "Order More", "Don't Order")
If you need nore information the question is listed as excel vba code to replace empty cell with text based on adjacent cells number range & answered by dcromley. Good Luck.
Ok. I'm Having A Problem With A formula That Seems Really Basic. It Uses The If Function. Here's What I Need.
If(b2:b50<>"",IF(b2:b50"607734",e2:e50="Patriot"))
So Basically If Between b2-b50 Has The Number "607734" I Want e2-e50 To Display "Patriot"
You need to put the IF statement in the cell where you want the value. For example, in E2, enter =IF(B2="607734", "Patriot", "") and drag it down to E50.
For each cell you have to enter the formula, which goes like this.
If(logical_test,value if true, value if false)
So, if b2 =607734 then c2 = "Patriot" else c2= " "
Now as formula we can write this as
if(b2=607734,"Patriot","")
similarly, for other cells(c3,c4,c5,c6....c50) we have formula in each cell as :
if(b3=607734,"Patriot","")
if(b4=607734,"Patriot","")
if(b5=607734,"Patriot","")
if(b6=607734,"Patriot","")
........
........
if(b50=607734,"Patriot","")
Your IF statements don't satisfy the else conclusion.
The format of an IF statement in Excel is as follows:
IF(parameter, what to do if parameter is true, what to do if parameter is false).
Right now you've filled in the first two variables for the IF command, but you left the third blank.
e.g.
Could have:
If(b2:b50<>"",IF(b2:b50"607734",e2:e50="Patriot", " ")," ")
And in that case it would put a space in the cell if the first two conditions are not met.
Simply - if any cell in Column B contains thisvalue then append to the adjoining cell in Column A with sometext.
How is this done?
A simple if statement. For example:
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(thisvalue, B1)), sometext, "")
EDIT: The ISNUMBER(SEARCH(thisvalue, B1)) searches for thisvalue in B1, and if it finds it, it returns a number (that number being the starting index of thisvalue within B1).
EDIT #2: To append the inserted value to the end of the current value in cell A, use the CONCATENATE formula.
Example:
=CONCATENATE(A1, sometext)
Put this formula in A1, then drag down as necessary:
=IF(B1="thisvalue","sometext","")
EDIT
Using a the Visual Basic Editor, you can update the contents of cell A like this:
Private Sub UpdateColumnA()
Dim x As Long
For x = 1 To 65536
If InStr(1, Sheet1.Range("$B$" & x), "thisvalue") > 0 Then
Sheet1.Range("$A$" & x) = Sheet1.Range("$A$" & x) & "sometext"
End If
Next
End Sub
Repeated runnings of the macro, however, will append the text again; you'll need more validation code if you don't want this to happen.
copy-paste in A1 , considering that you have values in B
=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP("thisvalue",B:B,1,FALSE)),"",VLOOKUP("thisvalue",B:B,1,FALSE)&"ADDITIONAL VALUE")
it is saying:
if value of vlookup is is empty (if lookup returns nothing) , then show empty value ( double quotes)
but if the value of lookup returns something, then do this lookup and append "ADDITIONAL VALUE" text to found result
I think I have what you are looking for, let me know if you are still interested and if you want me to elaborate further. This formula in cell F2: =IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH($U$2,E:E)),$V$2,"")&IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH($U$3,E:E)),$V$3,"")&...
where you are searching for a value that you specify in U2 across all cells in column E:E, if it finds a match it appends the value you specify in V2. To search for multiple words assigning corresponding value simply concatenate as shown as much as you like. I am able to specify hundreds of words (and corresponding values). I hope it helps.
