I have list of 10000 words and I want to remove the "s" from end of each word.
Clocks
Bracket Clocks
Wall Clocks
Wardrobes
Does anyone know a formula to do this? Thank you.
This will remove the last character of the string if it's an "s" and leave it as-is otherwise:
=IF(RIGHT(C1,1)="s",LEFT(C1,LEN(C1)-1),C1)
Where your words are in column C.
Excel function, assuming data is in column C:
=LEFT(C1,LEN(C1)-1)

When I open excel, the rows move down and a big blank space gets inserted. I have no idea why this is happening nor how to fix it. Any suggestions? See image below:
It's a known monitor issue, you have to check for compatibility
If you drag it about between monitors it can fix it other than that compatibility settings.

I was given some data in excel and it looks like this:
Maps ix↵About the Author↵x↵Preface↵xi↵Ancillary
I need to remove these little arrows and replace them with a single white space. How would I do that?
Thank you.
How about: Ctrl+h (Search and Replace), enter "↵" (by copy/paste) in the search field and (blank space) in the replace field?

Questions asking for code must demonstrate a minimal understanding of the problem being solved. Include attempted solutions, why they didn't work, and the expected results. See also: Stack Overflow question checklist

I need to get the last described cell with in a row with code. So if I'm positioned in A14 and my last described cell A4 contains Hello I want that A14 also contains Hello. I wont care about B4 and so on. If I'm positioned in B13 I just care about the B-Row and so on. Unfortunately I have no idea of VBA so I prefer a non-VBA solution.
You can use something like that perhaps:
=LOOKUP("zzz",A1:A13)
Or using MATCH():
=INDEX(A1:A13,MATCH("zzz",A1:A13))
Or using VLOOKUP():
=VLOOKUP("zzz",A1:A13,1)

I am beginner in Excel. I have a workbook in which the formula column is defined as
=+TEXT($A36,"mmm"), but even if I give =Text($A36,"mmm")
it is returning the Month.
What is the difference in using =+ and + in Excel?
Will it changes the functionality in any ways?
This is simply a legacy way of doing it. From Lotus 123 I believe. It makes absolutely no difference to the functionality.
There is no difference. It's the exact same thing.
It comes from an old syntax used in Lotus

I have a spreadsheet that looks like that:
I want to get the distinct sections, in fact the distinct first string from the section colume. I tried advanced filters however, this only gives me the whole string. Is there a excel formula to check the columes just for the first string?(Like here: bla, blub, bla1, bla2, blue)
I appreciate your answer!
In Excel, add a new column with:
=LEFT(B2,FIND(" ",B2))
that will give you the list of first words; after that you can use filters.
