Tax Court Does Not Buy Vow of Poverty of Prophetess

Leave a comment

By Peter J Reilly, Contributor Frederic and Elizabeth Gardner  ran Bethel Aram Ministries (BAM).  Frederic was “Elder, Teacher, Certified Estate & Financial Planner”.  Elizabeth was “Prophetess, Teacher, Pastor and Certified Paralegal”.  The ministry was organized as a “corporation sole”.  The corporate name was really something – THE OFFICE OF PRESIDING HEAD PROPHETESS of Elizabeth A. Gardner after The Order of the Lord Jesus Christ, the High Priest and King after the Order of Melchizedek, and her Successors, a corporation sole. As Don Imus often says, “You can’t make this stuff up.”  The corporation has had its status revoked, but for four hundred bucks it could be reinstated.  The transactions of BAM were the subject of a recent Tax Court decision. …read more

Modifying col values based on another col

Leave a comment

By newbie83

Hi,

Please help with this.
I have several excel files (with and .xlsx format) with 10-15 columns each.
They all have the same type of data but the columns are not ordered in the same way.

Here is a 3 column example. What I want to do add the alphabet
from column 2 to column 3, provided they both have the keyword ‘BAM‘
in them. Also the prefix 12 needs to be removed (if it is present before BAM).
Also the second column may have a space between BAM and 2A, that space needs to be ignored. So BAM2A is the same as BAM 2A, similarly if space is present in 3rd col, that has to be removed in the output.
So 12BAM2 -1 becomes BAM2A-1.
The last row remains unchanged because both column dont have BAM.

Input sample

Code:
20 12BAM 2A 12BAM2 -1
20 12BAM 2A 12BAM2 -2
50 12BAM2A 12BAM2 -3
20 12BAM2B 12BAM2 -4
20 12BAM 2B 12BAM2 -5
520 12BAM 2A XA3023

Expected output

Code:
20 12BAM 2A BAM2A-1
20 12BAM 2A BAM2A-2
50 12BAM2A BAM2A-3
20 12BAM2B BAM2B-4
20 12BAM 2B BAM2B-5
520 12BAM 2A XA3023
