Istext

[alliswell]

Hi everybody

In column A i have text and numbers.
In column B & C i need all text in B & numbers in C.
I use istext function to seperate text and isnumber to seperate numbers but the issue is that i get results but not getting it one after others there i get spaces of blank cells in between. I use excel 2007

Thanks

are these just text in a cell and just a number in a cell or are you splitting a cell ???

need to check istext() isnumber() is in 2007 version

2	123		123

Range	Formula
B2:B5	B2	=IF(ISTEXT(A2),A2,"")
C2:C5	C2	=IF(ISNUMBER(A2),A2,"")

Note: Images are difficult to see , and also requires that I input all the data myself, which means I may make an error, which is very time consuming, and from my point of view less likely to get a response, if a complicated spreadsheet. Plus we cannot see any of the formulas used.

Therefore -

A SMALL sample spreadsheet, around 10-20 rows, would help a lot here, with all sensitive data removed, and expected results mocked up and manually entered, with a few notes of explanation.

This will possibly enable a quicker and more accurate solution for you.

MrExcel has a tool called “XL2BB” that lets you post samples of your data and will allow us to copy/paste your sample data into our Excel spreadsheets, saving a lot of time.

then put the sample spreadsheet onto a share

I only tend to goto OneDrive, Dropbox or google docs , as I'm never certain of other random share sites and possible virus.

Yes etaf sir i get same results. But see in your solution of column C, 123 is in row 2 and 234 in row 5, there are 2 rows empty in between. So i want such that in column C, in row 2 is 123, then in row 3 must come 234 and so on so forth. Trying with small if and also with rows function but not getting results. Some error i get.

Below are ARRAY formulas
In B2

=IFERROR(INDEX($A$2:$A$5,SMALL(IF(ISTEXT($A$2:$A$5),ROW($A$2:$A$5),""),ROWS(B$2:B2))-ROW($A$1)),"")

In C2

=IFERROR(INDEX($A$2:$A$5,SMALL(IF(ISNUMBER($A$2:$A$5),ROW($A$2:$A$5),""),ROWS(C$2:C2))-ROW($A$1)),"")

Copy down both.

To enter ARRAY formula
Copy and paste the formula in cell
Press F2
Press Ctrl+Shift+Enter together
Excel covers the formula with {}.

123​	aaa	123​
aaa	ee	11​
ee
11​

Thanks Srinivas sir

Can you explain what does this mean ?
I have seen in several formulas
ROWS(C$2:C2))-ROW($A$1))

 

[kvsrinivasamurthy]

ROWS(C$2:C2))
Says which small number is to be selected. Here it is 1 means 1st small number will be selected.

-ROW($A$1))
Since In INDEX formula data starts from ($A$2:$A$5) 2nd row ,so row 1 will be deducted.
