I am trying to convert text using only Excel data manipulation functions (not Data/Text to Columns).
Column A looks like this:
A1: 10 11 03,-690000,100.163685
A2: 14 11 03,-761000,100.3977
A3: 17 11 03,-682000,100.575887
and so on.
I'd like to get the date (01 11 03 recognised as a date) in column B, the middle data (between the two commas) in column C and the data on the right (after the second comma) in column D using the full accuracy displayed.
Seems you have options that would be easier, but please try in B1:
=DATEVALUE(LEFT(A1,2)&"/"&MID(A1,4,2)&"/"&MID(A1,7,2))
in C1:
=1*MID(A1,FIND(",",A1)+1,FIND(",",MID(A1,FIND(",",A1)+1,99))-1)
in D1:
=1*MID(A1,FIND(",",A1,FIND(",",A1)+1)+1,99)
and copy down to suit.
I believe the easiest way for you to handle this situation is to simply save your current worksheet as a text file, and then reopen it in Excel. When you open the file again in Excel it should automatically separate out the three columns the way you want it. Here is a screen capture from my Excel after I have done this:
Next you can format the A column as a date however you wish.

This is my first post to stack overflow. I've gotten a lot of help from you all over the years by reading others' questions, but I've finally found one I can't find an answer to.
This seems like a relatively straightforward question, but how would I find the average cost of Fruit (cell B15) from the spreadsheet shown in the screenshot without modifying the two tables in any way?
Unfortunately, I can't post an image (bc no reputation) so I'll describe it here:
Two tables:
Table 1 (A1:B5):
Column A = Products (Apple, Celery, Lemon, Carrot);
Column B = Type (Fruit, Vegetable, Fruit, Vegetable
Table 2 (A7:B11):
Column A = Products (Apple, Celery, Lemon, Carrot);
Column B = Cost ($0.45, $0.60, $0.72, $0.86)
B14: "Fruit" <--What I want to find the average price of;
B15: Where the formula will go
Thank you.
In cell B15 enter this formula:
=SUM(IF((B2:B5="fruit"),INDEX(B8:B11,N(IF(1,MATCH(A2:A5,A8:A11,))))))/SUM(IF(B2:B5="fruit",1))
This is an array formula and must be confirmed with Ctrl+Shift+Enter.
Also consider the =SUMIF(range, criteria, [sum_range]) function. It might do just what you need in one simple statement.

I have a spreadsheet with excel with a column with over 1000 values that looks as follows:
15hrs
12hrs
34hrs
etc..
Can someone please give me a method on how to sum over these values as I have no clue on how to do this..
Change the A1:A3 to be the actual range:
=SUMPRODUCT(--SUBSTITUTE(A1:A3,"hrs",""))
Take a copy, replace hrs with nothing, then sum the result.
You cannot sum over the text values, but you can get what you're looking to do in a different way (if this'll work for you):
Select the column and go Replace all "Hrs" with blanks "" - In effect, making your text numbers
With the column values still highlighted, go to Format Cells and choose the "Custom" format... Change the format to General"Hrs"
Now you can add the values since they are stored as values, but LOOK like text.
I don't know if this'll work for you, but it should accomplish the task at hand if it does...

I have a table which consists of set of data, say 2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16
I want to create a program in which one cell I input, the other cell I show the output.
For Example:
If I key in a value of 3 in the input cell, the excel will respond something like "there's no 3. THe values suitable are 2 and 4" in the output cell.
If I key in a value of 4 in the input cell, the excel will respond a value of 4 in the output cell.
I'm thinkg of If function. I14 is the input cell. D7 until D14 is the cell where the data locate.
If I14 is the same as any value in the data, the output will show the value. If it is not the same....I'm stuck.
=IF(I14=$D$7:$D$14,$D$7:$D$14,I14)
please help me!
You probably want the Data Validation tool.
Select the cell you want to have this validation, in your case, select cell I27.
Go to the "Data" tab, click the "Data Validation" button and use those options:
The source is where the valid list is, in your case $D$7:$D$14. You can also uncheck the dropdown if you want.
You can then choose the warning you need:

I would like to search a row for a string and get the column number if there is such a string.
Is this possible by using worksheet functions in Excel?
You can use MATCH to give the position, e.g. you can search in row 2 for "xyz" like this
=MATCH("xyz",2:2,0)
If "xyz" is found first in J2 you get 10
if you want partial matches then you can use wildcards like
=MATCH("*xyz*",2:2,0)
so if F2 contains [abc xyz 344] you get a match with that and formula returns 6
I believe VLOOKUP is the best for you.
There's also others like HLOOKUP, LOOKUP and SEARCH
If the lookup value is "value" and it is in row 1
=MATCH("value",1:1,0)
Assuming you have something like this:
A1 A2 A3 A4
111 aaa sss bbb,
you could write something of this sort:
=FIND("$", CELL("address",OFFSET($A$2, 0,MATCH(111,A2:D2,1)-COLUMN($A$2)+1)), 2)
Ugly, but works (assuming that's what you were looking for)...

I have an Excel spreadsheet here.
What I dont know is
if you look at the main grid the columns are formatted for space so that the description is larger. Now the part at the bottom left. I really want those 4 columns
'RESIDENT NAME' 'ACCOUNT NUMBER' 'DATE' 'AMOUNT DUE'
I really want them aligned with the rest of the grid but how do i subdivide the large Description column to accomodate this?
Because of your formatting in your question I can't be sure what you want, but if you're trying to line up more than one column with the Description column, just make the Description column a merge of more than one column, then multiple columns will be able to fit underneath it.
You can merge cells by selecting them, then going to Format Cells->Alignment and clicking the Merge cells box.
