I have an excel table formatted(with header row included just for reference) like so:
1
2
3
4
5
1
2
3
4
5
5
2
2
5
2
2
-
2
I would like it formatted as text like so:
522 522 -2
Whenever I paste into word and convert to text it prints a space in between cells that are adjacent like this (underline as space):
5_2_2_ 5_2_2 _ -_2
I also tried pasting into other text editors and VScode without success.
I have several lines of this data and it's actually longer than the example so it's fairly cumbersome to manually delete the spaces. I'm wondering if there's a way to do this in excel/word.

I have a list of part numbers that are used in 4 different top level assemblies. The parts can be used in 1 to 4 of the top level assemblies. I'm trying to write a formula that will count how many unique top level assemblies a part number occurs in. I had previously written a formula that worked, but it uses UNIQUE and FILTER, and my coworkers don't have Excel 365, so those formulas aren't supported for them. I've been trying to come up with a workaround and would really appreciate any help :)
I have an example (I can't provide any real data) section of our spreadsheet and an image of the formula I had that was working

=SUM(--(LEN(UNIQUE(FILTER(A:A, C:C=C2, "")))>0))
Picture of the excel sheet
Picture of working formula
Use the following formula in row 2: =SUMPRODUCT(--(FREQUENCY(IF($B$2:$B$20=$B2,$A$2:$A$20),$A$2:$A$20)>0))
*I think it doesn't require ctrl+shift-enter in older Excel versions, since SUMPRODUCT is an array formula by default.
The formula checks the frequency of values in column A where column B matches the value in the current row. It returns the count per unique value meeting the condition. Wrapping it in -- & >0 returns 1 for each unique value. SUMPRODUCT sums them.
Edit:
I realized that the top level assembly values are actual text, not numeric values. In that case (since it's all numeric values stored as text) you can use this workaround:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(FREQUENCY(IF($B$2:$B$20=$B2,--($A$2:$A$20)),--($A$2:$A$20))>0))
It converts the text to numbers.
Sidenotes to this workaround:
If any value would contain a character other than numeric it will not get counted.
If you have both values like 02554 and 2554 they'll both get converted to 2554 and counted likewise.
Edit 2:
For text use the following:
=SUMPRODUCT(IF($B$2:$B$20=$B2, 1/(COUNTIFS($B$2:$B$20, $B2, $A$2:$A$20, $A$2:$A$20)), 0))
I am trying to view a csv file. The csv files contains 2 types of lines:
lines with say 15 entries (numbers or strings) separated using commas. The number of entries can vary by file, but will be fixed for all such lines in a single file.
lines containing just one large string and no commas
I was trying to use column -s, -t for easy viewing on the command line. The problem is for lines containing just one entry, column thinks of it as a member of the first column. This string is big and causes the first column to be pretty big. I am looking for a way to tell column to not format rows which have just 1 entry and just print them as is. Is this achievable using column or some other utility? I tried using tr ',' '\t', but that didn't align things nicely like column.
Example file:
asdfasgjfsgadjfasdgjafsdgfkjasgdfkjasgkdasdfagjdghfa
this,is,just,a,siiiiiiiiimple,sample,file
1,2,3,4,5,6,7

this is just a siiiiiiiiimple sample file

I have these two sheets, that I'm using to keep track of my work. In one of the sheets, I have my overview, where I can see all of my tasks at hand. In other sheets, I have the different jobs I'm currently doing.
Now... I'm looking for at formula for Microsoft Excel, where I can do the following:
="GET THE HIGHEST ROW-NUMBER, IN A CERTAIN COLUMN, THAT ISN'T EMPTY, AND PUT THE TEXT FROM THAT COLUMN INTO ANOTHER CELL" (see examples of it further down)
Examples:
Let's say, that I insert this formula into D10, and to check the entire A-column, then this would be the result
Ex.1
A B C D
1 Foo
2 Bar
3 Is
4 An
5 Apple
6 From
7 Chile
8
9
10 Chile
Ex.2
A B C D
1 Foo
2 Bar
3 Is
4 An
5 Apple
6
7

10 Apple
Ex.3
A B C D
1 Foo
2 Bar
3 Is

On a last remark... Then I'm using this stupid danish version of Excel, so if you're a dane trying to solve this, then a danish formula would be 'B-E-A-UTIFUL'.
And remember, that it has to work across different sheets.
MY ATTEMPTS:
I Google around for about an hour... I found this, which I tried to understand:
=INDIRECT(CONCATENATE("R",MATCH(MAX(S4:S5),S4:S5,0)+3))
But I couldn't get it to work, because of this stupid danish Excel. I tried to understand it, then - and figured out, that it parsed and concatenated area as text and inserted that into the field - so I guess that wouldn't do the trick anyways.
Then my idea was to try to loop through all the cells in a column and check each of the cells, if they weren't empty, and if their row-number where higher than then previous. I quickly gave up on that one, because I couldn't find a way to make a for loop in Excel.
Then I've tried all other sorts of things (mainly experimenting with the MAX()-function).
If your data is in a sheet called data then try this formula to get the last text value in column A of that sheet
=LOOKUP(REPT("z";255);Data!A:A)
In Danish that should be
=SLÅ.OP(GENTAG("z";255);Data!A:A)
I have a very long column( 50000 rows) and I want select a range (sample) of cells (number of rows) in order to apply certain calculations. You don't have to worry about the calculation formula. Here I just need help on how to do the sampling. The range(sample) should be changing based on window size. The window size is a number I can choose .i.e such in the example below I chose the window size to be 4. In other words, I need to have samples, and these samples are based on selected number of rows of the long column. The size(number of rows) for all of the samples will be equal to the window size. However, each sample is shifted by one from the main column. Now, the samples should be in seperate columns , and thats why I need to copy the selection in each sample in its required column.For illustration purpose, assume the below example:
let assume the window size( number of rows)=4
test
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
The expected output should be :
main col sample1 sample2 sample3 sample4 sample5 sample6
1 1 2 3 4 5 6
2 2 3 4 5 6 7
3 3 4 5 6 7 8
4 4 5 6 7 8 9
5
6
7
8
9
10
each sample of size 4 rows , however, each new sample shifs by 1 from the main column. Note we get 6 samples to cover the whole number of rows in the main column. What basically should be done: sample1 will be from row1-to-row4 from the main col. Now, sample2 will be 4 values, however, from row2-to-row5, from the main column. sample3 will be 4 values, from row3-to-row6, and so on until we cover the whole range of the main column. So there are two main process, selection and copy of selection.
I have tried to use the offset and other logical function ... but it didn't work. I don't want to use Macros or VBA... Is there are any built in functions to solve the problem.?
This is basically a variation of a range transpose. Use the formula:
=INDEX($A:$A,COLUMN()+ROW()-2,1)
Then just copy to whatever window size you want. It will automatically move down the main column by one row for every column over it is. The result looks like this (you are responsible for copying the formula to the right size):
Bonus, you can automate the column header "Sample N" with:
="Sample " & COLUMN()-1
I'm not sure how to ask this question without illustrating it, so here goes:
I have results from a test which has tested peoples attitudes (scores 1-5) to different voices on a 16 different scales. The data set looks like this (where P1,P2,P3 are participants, A, B, C are voices)
Aformal Apleasant Acool Bformal etc
P1 2 3 1 4
P2 5 4 2 4
P3 1 2 4 3
However, I want to rearrange my data to look like this:
formal pleasant cool
P1A 3 3 5
P1B 2 1 6
P1C etc
P1D
This would mean a lot more rows (multiple rows per participant), and a lot fewer columns. Is it doable without having to manually reenter all the scores in a new excel file?
Sure, no problem. I just hacked this solution:
L M N O P Q
person# voice# formal pleasant cool
1 1 P1A 2 3 1
1 2 P1B 4 5 2
1 3 P1C 9 9 9
2 1 P2A 5 4 2
2 2 P2B 4 4 1
2 3 P2C 9 9 9
3 1 P3A 1 2 4
3 2 P3B 3 3 2
3 3 P3C 9 9 9
Basically, in columns L and M, I made two columns with index numbers. Voice numbers go from 1 to 3 and repeat every 3 rows because there are nv=3 voices (increase this if you have voices F, G, H...). Person numbers are also repeated for 3 rows each, because there are nv=3 voices.
To make the row headers (P1A, etc.), I used this formula: ="P" & L2 & CHAR(64+M2) at P1A and copied down.
To make the new table of values, I used this formula: =OFFSET(B$2,$L2-1,($M2-1)*3) at P1A-formal, and copied down and across. Note that B$2 corresponds to the cell address for P1-Aformal in the original table of values (your example).
I've used this indexing trick I don't know how many times to quickly rearrange tables of data inherited from other people.
EDIT: Note that the index columns are also made (semi)automatically using a formula. The first nv=3 rows are made manually, and then subsequent rows refer to them. For example, the formula in L5 is =L2+1 and the formula in M5 is =M2. Both are copied down to the end of the table.
