How to remove vowels from words? Fpr example, in one row we have
google, excell, macro,... and the result in another row is ggl, xcll,
mcr,... Thanks.

1. In a new column next to the column with the words you want to remove vowels from, enter the following formula in the first cell:
   Formula:

   =SUBSTITUTE(LOWER(A1),"a","") 

2. Press Enter to apply the formula to the cell.
3. Copy the formula down to the rest of the cells in the column by clicking and dragging the bottom right corner of the cell down.
4. The formula will remove all instances of the letter "a" from the word in cell A1 and return the result in the new column. To remove all vowels, you can repeat the formula for each vowel (a, e, i, o, u) and combine them using the & operator.
5. Once you have the formula for each vowel, you can combine them into one formula like this:
   Formula:

   =SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(LOWER(A1),"a",""),"e",""),"i",""),"o",""),"u","") 

6. Copy the combined formula down to the rest of the cells in the column to remove all vowels from each word.
7. Finally, you can copy the results and paste them into a new row or column to have them in a separate location.

That's it! You should now have a new row or column with the words from the original column, but with all vowels removed.

Maybe this function can help you:

'------------------------------------------------------
Function removeVowel(VowelWord As String) As String

Dim NoVowelWord As String

For L = Len(VowelWord) To 1 Step -1
If Mid(VowelWord, L, 1) = "a" Or _
Mid(VowelWord, L, 1) = "e" Or _
Mid(VowelWord, L, 1) = "i" Or _
Mid(VowelWord, L, 1) = "o" Or _
Mid(VowelWord, L, 1) = "u" Then
Else
NoVowelWord = Mid(VowelWord, L, 1) & NoVowelWord
End If
Next L

removeVowel = NoVowelWord

End Function
'------------------------------------------------------

It returns the word without vowels

Why is the loop stepping backwards?

no VBA

=SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBST ITUTE(A1,"a",""),"e",""),"I",""),"o",""),"u","")

If he didn't go backwards, that code would reverse the text, so you would
get __rcm ,llx ,lgg__ instead of __ggl, xcll, mcr__

Only because he is appending to the output string backwards too. Just
seems a bit odd.

Just to add to Bob's formula.

=substitute() is case sensitive (and I bet autocorrect changed his i to I <bg).

Another alternative:

=SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBST ITUTE(LOWER(A1),
"a",""),"e",""),"i",""),"o",""),"u","")

Hi Guys,

just to add a comment to my code in regards to backstepping.
I first had a total different approach, which was total crap, that's
where the backward steps are coming from. Obviously it works as well
if you go the other way around, didn't realize that though until I saw
your post :)

Here's the forward version, although the other one should work fine:

'------------------------------------------------------
Function removeVowel(VowelWord As String) As String

Dim NoVowelWord As String

For L = 1 to Len(VowelWord)
If Mid(VowelWord, L, 1) = "a" Or _
Mid(VowelWord, L, 1) = "e" Or _
Mid(VowelWord, L, 1) = "i" Or _
Mid(VowelWord, L, 1) = "o" Or _
Mid(VowelWord, L, 1) = "u" Then
Else
NoVowelWord = NoVowelWord & Mid(VowelWord, L, 1)
End If
Next L

removeVowel = NoVowelWord

End Function

Here's a UDF:

==============================
Option Explicit
Function NV(str As String) As String
Dim re As Object
Set re = CreateObject("vbscript.regexp")
re.IgnoreCase = True
re.Global = True
re.Pattern = "[aeiou]"
NV = re.Replace(str, "")
End Function
==============================

This is fun, just seeing everyone's personal approach to this macro,.
Mine would be;


Public Function novowels(ByVal txt As String)

If txt = "" Then Exit Function

For l = 1 To Len(txt)
Select Case LCase(Mid(txt, l, 1))

Case "a", "e", "i", "o", "u"

Case Else
novowels = novowels & Mid(txt, l, 1)
End Select

Next l


End Function

There was no i in the example <g

That sounds like a sign in every lockerroom I've ever seen:

There is no I in TEAM.

(But there is a ME, but it's out of order <vbg.)

Is Y not a vowel? It is in the danish language :S

In English, sometimes it is, and sometimes not.

In German Y is not a Vowel. (As far as i'm concerned)
