Excel Function - How to excluding certain alphabetically -
i using following function build series of running number in excel file.
"=left(address(row(aa1),column(aa1)+(row(a1:a1)-1),4),2)"
the lists shown in file similar like: aa,ab,ac,ad,...
now, trying exclude alphabetical (such "g, i, o") list, not know how start it.
any advise?
remarks: exclude (g, i, o) -> "ag,ai..,ga,gb...oz"
thanks.
set cell a1 "aa"
.
in cell a2 put following formula:
=if(find(right(a1,1),"abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz")=len("abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"),mid("abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz",find(left(a1,1),"abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz")+1,1)&"a",left(a1,1)&mid("abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz",find(right(a1,1),"abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz")+1,1))
you can drag down how many ever rows need. might complicated, simple if break down.
to exclude chars "g", "i" , "o", remove them everywhere see "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
. become "abcdefhjklmnpqrstuvwxyz"
. might better put list of chars cell , reference cell instead of repeating string many times in formula.
