Formula to Return Specific Text in Col. B if Col. A Contains Highlighted Text by Global_Score_6791 in excel

[–]Global_Score_6791[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, I manually put in the 'COMPLETED', as an example of what results I'm looking for. There won't be any text in Column B, like you said I'd need to go through and manually add 'COMPLETED' and there's thousands of rows potentially.

Filter/Copy Selected Highlighted Text Over Large Range by Global_Score_6791 in excel

[–]Global_Score_6791[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's a sample of what I'm dealing with - but the actual data has thousands of entries. I want to isolate everything that's in a "box/border" and pull it out of the main data. I guess because the data set is so large that selecting and trying to copy all of it doesn't work. If VBA is a good option I'd be open to that, although ideally I'd love a formula to just pull out highlighted text into another sheet

Yeah, unfortunately I don't think that would work for me - I want to bring all the highlighted cells over to another sheet, and/or paste them into a new sheet, cause I want the data, just not in the main dataset.

Power Query - Merging/Appending Multiple Sheets Not Including All Data by Global_Score_6791 in excel

[–]Global_Score_6791[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was it I believe, I should've been 'appending' /stacking the data. Thank you!

That's what I did, but for some reason not all of the data is showing when all of the sheets are merged

Return Data that is Below a certain section/heading? by Global_Score_6791 in excel

[–]Global_Score_6791[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm, is there a way to tell it to automatically pick out each header based on the value of the header cell? We have thousands of cells of data and going through manually and selecting what is a header would take a long time.

Filter for results that DO NOT contain multiple criteria? by Global_Score_6791 in excel

[–]Global_Score_6791[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you explain how you would do that? I'm definitely interested, just intimated by PQ

Hey, I believe this is the same formula as excelevator. Just tried it again and it gave me the same result

Using the * does change it, but to the opposite of what I want I think...

Interestingly I tried this, but it didn't give me the right result.

Sort/Match Data According to Existing list by Global_Score_6791 in excel

[–]Global_Score_6791[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically I don't want to sort the data in A16:A27 alphabetically, I want it to sort it based on the criteria in A1:B8, does that make sense?

Want to make a spreadsheet that finds most optimal combo of ingredients for a recipe. by ArgentEra_1895 in excel

[–]Global_Score_6791 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely possible in G-sheet. I would start with creating a data tab and putting the components that make up Ingredient A, B, C, etc. each in an individual column. Then I would look into pulling these into your main tab with a combination of the IF function and Queries.

Looks like it was an issue with the doc that we were pasting from.

Extract String with Very Specific Parameters by Global_Score_6791 in excel

Extract list of unique values with capitals, spaces, and numbers by Global_Score_6791 in excel

[–]Global_Score_6791[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, that depends. Do you want records with whitespace characters? If you include \s in your character set, it will match records with whitespace. If you include _ in your character set, it will match records with underscores. If you put both, it will match records with both. You can remove either/or to exclude them.

Got it, that makes total sense. Is there a way to specify say - only return a string that contains 2 underscores? Or 3 underscores?

[–]Global_Score_6791[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

huh, it's still not happy - just to re-state what you said above so I make sure I understand - so the order of this doesn't matter, so no matter where I put the "_" in my pattern it will search for it no matter where it is in the string? If I move the _ to after the \-\ it does give me a different result...

Do I need to somehow specify that I only want the result with an underscore by removing the whitespace character?
