I have cell phone numbers in Excel some with country code- 91 and some without country code. I need to remove the country code. We have 10 digit phone numbers so I need to remove the first two digits if the character length of the cell is greater than 10, i.e. if I have a number with country code like 917465785236 I need to remove the first two digits- 91 so that I only have 7465785236. I am trying the below piece but it doesn't check the IF condition and removes the first two digits from all the cells. Can someone tell me what's wrong I am doing here:
=IF((LEN(A1>10)),RIGHT(A1, LEN(A1)-2))
You probably need to put the parentheses differently for the Len function:
=IF((LEN(A1)>10),RIGHT(A1, LEN(A1)-2))
You're not using the parenthesis properly. Also since you strictly want to have 10 characters, you don't need to calculated the length in the RIGHT formula.. It needs to be like this:
=IF(LEN(A1)>10,RIGHT(A1, LEN(A1)-2),A1)
Now, that is the issue with your formula, but the solution to your question doesn't even need a IF statement, You can simply use:\
RIGHT(A1,10)
It will automatically get the 10 characters at the end and remove the rest.
Trying to write a custom data validation formula that would only allow values in the following format: 2-digit year (this can be just 2 numbers), dash ("-"), then a 1 or 2 letter character(s) (would prefer upper case, but would settle for lower case), another dash ("-"), and then a 5-digit number. So the final value looks like: 17-FL-12345 ...or 16-G-00008...
I actually have a but more, but if I could get the above working, that would be terrific. I don't know if there's a way, but it would be great if additionally I could use custom formatting to get the dashes to appear when they are not entered, i.e., user enters "17FL12345" and it gets automatically formatted to "17-FL-12345". Finally, again, this isn't a deal breaker either, but it would also be great if the last 5 digits would add any leading zero's, i.e., the user enters 17-G-8 (or just 17G8) and it gets formatted to 17-G-00008.
Can't use VBA unfortunately. Some potential solutions to similar questions I've viewed include:

Data VAlidation - Text Length & Character Type
Excel : Data Validation, how to force the user to enter a string that is 2 char long?
Try this:
=AND(ISNUMBER(VALUE(LEFT(A1,2))),MID(A1,3,1)="-",OR(ISNUMBER(FIND(MID(A1,4,1),$C$1)),AND(ISNUMBER(FIND(MID(A1,4,1),$C$1)),ISNUMBER(FIND(MID(A1,5,1),$C$1)))),MID(A1,LEN(A1)-5,1)="-",ISNUMBER(VALUE(RIGHT(A1,5))),OR(LEN(A1)=11,LEN(A1)=10),LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"-",""))=2,LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"+",""))=0,LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1," ",""))=0)
Assuming, you want to validate A1. I inserted the letters in C1.
Edit:
I edited the original function, to be more secure and left out the Isnumber part and rather went digit by digit.
If you want exceed the 255 limit, you have to slice the function up.
I created 5 functions.
=AND(ISNUMBER(FIND(LEFT(A1),$C$2)),ISNUMBER(FIND(MID(A1,2,1),$C$2)))
=MID(A1,3,1)="-"
=IF(LEN(A1)=10,AND(ISNUMBER(FIND(MID(A1,4,1),$C$1)),MID(A1,5,1)="-"),IF(LEN(A1)=11,AND(ISNUMBER(FIND(MID(A1,4,1),$C$1)),ISNUMBER(FIND(MID(A1,5,1),$C$1)))))
=IF(LEN(A1)=10,MID(A1,5,1)="-",IF(LEN(A1)=11,MID(A1,6,1)="-"))
=IF(LEN(A1)=10,AND(ISNUMBER(FIND(MID(A1,6,1),$C$2)),ISNUMBER(FIND(MID(A1,7,1),$C$2)),ISNUMBER(FIND(MID(A1,8,1),$C$2)),ISNUMBER(FIND(MID(A1,9,1),$C$2)),ISNUMBER(FIND(MID(A1,10,1),$C$2))),IF(LEN(A1)=11,AND(ISNUMBER(FIND(MID(A1,7,1),$C$2)),ISNUMBER(FIND(MID(A1,8,1),$C$2)),ISNUMBER(FIND(MID(A1,9,1),$C$2)),ISNUMBER(FIND(MID(A1,10,1),$C$2)),ISNUMBER(FIND(MID(A1,11,1),$C$2)))))
Set up data validation as on the picture:
I want to force users to enter data in a specific cell in a sequence like ABCDE1234F
i.e. first five characters must me letters then four digits and last must be a letter using custom data validation.
It is quite long:
=AND(ISNUMBER(SUMPRODUCT(SEARCH("~"&MID(A1,ROW($1:$5),1),"abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"))),ISNUMBER(SUMPRODUCT(SEARCH("~"&MID(A1,ROW($6:$9),1),"0123456789"))),ISNUMBER(SUMPRODUCT(SEARCH("~"&MID(A1,10,1),"abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"))),LEN(A1)=10)
It goes through each of the required text characters and checks if it is a number or a string. Then it test the full range of numbers for text. It also ensures that it is ten characters long.
You may try following formula
=AND(ISTEXT(LEFT(A1,5)),ISNUMBER(MID(A1,6,4)*1),ISTEXT(MID(A1,10,1)),IF(LEN(A1)=10,TRUE,FALSE))
On a daily basis I need to load data to one of our systems. However Excel deletes the previous zeros in front of the contractor IDs. So i have to add THREE zeros manually. I normally use the CONCATENATE function however now the IDs are coming differently so some IDs now only need to have TWO zeros added.
example:
ID
911111
I use concatenate to make it look like:
000911111
I came up with the IF formula that detects if the ID starts with a number NINE, to concatenate TWO zeros and if not, then to add THREE zeros.
example:
=IF(LEFT(A32,1)="9",CONCATENATE("00",A32),CONCATENATE("000",A32))
Now I want to create this formula as a custom defined so I do not have to write down the formula ever time I work on the data every day.
Any suggestions I will really appreciate.
In addition to the formatting responses provided in the comments, you could use the RIGHT function to cut off the leading zeroes to the appropriate amount.
For example, assuming A1 holds a string of numbers, between 0 & 9 digits long. We can create text representing a 9 digit string, with as many leading zeroes as necessary, as follows:
=RIGHT(REPT("0",9) & A1,9)
REPT("0",9) tells Excel to repeat the character "0" 9 times. It then tacks on whatever text is in A1. Then it takes only the rightmost 9 characters of the concatenation.
I generally would recommend the Formatting options noted in those comments, unless you need the text to be 9 characters for other formula purposes.
In my country any bank account number has a secondary key which named SHEBA, and there is formula to calculate the SHEBA from account number.
For example if my account number is 801-800-125954-1, the SHEBA of this number is IR0008010080000125954001.
As you can see, changing the account number to SHEBA has been done by putting a handful of zero between account number's digits (however It's not always so simple).
So, I want write formula in Excel that can put zero - or any other digit - between our Number of customer accounts.
I mean, write function in which it's input is a number and output is same number plus some another digit between number
If you can split your string after each '-', you can pad each one with the appropriatz number of '0'.
Se "Add leading zeroes/0's to existing Excel values to certain length" (using TEXT)
801 would become "IR"+TEXT("800","000000")
Since you only posted one number and one SHEBA, it is a bit hard to establish a pattern, especially if, as you say "It's not always so simple".
You can use one formula to get from your number to your SHEBA
="IR000"&SUBSTITUTE(A1,"-","00")
