The solution to a challenge here does almost exactly what I need except it doesn't manage partial matches.
Function MatchColors(strValue As String, rngList As Range) As String
Dim regEx, Matches, i, strResult, bFlag
'Create and set the parameters for the regular expressions object
Set regEx = CreateObject("vbscript.regexp")
regEx.Global = True
regEx.IgnoreCase = True
how to find partial match of text in 2 different columns.
For example:
Column A:
Boston
Chicago
Los Angeles
New York
Detroit
Miami
[code].....
I want to be able to create a column that finds all the matching cities from A in B.
I want to count the number of times partial text strings occur in a cell adjacent to another cell containing specific text.
A B
FB Milton v Town PHOTO
BS Fairfax v South
BS North v Town
BS Milton v South PHOTO
FB North v Milton PHOTO
FB Milton v South
I'm looking for the number of times "FB" and "Milton" occur in Column A when "PHOTO" also appears in Column B in the same row. From numerous searches I've tried figuring out VLOOKUP, DCOUNTA, etc.
I have two columns, some of the cells in these columns contain more than one value separated by a space. Example:
Col A Col B
1.99 1.69
39.95 6 119.94 29.99 6 149.94
135 250 135.00 250.00
11.6 11.60
What I am trying to achieve is to test that the values in column A match those in column B and have a TRUE/FALSE response in column C. At present i'm just using =a=b, however I want the formula to give me a TRUE response for the third and fourth lines in my example, as I want it to ignore the zero after the decimal place, at present it gives me FALSE.
So the results I want to see in col C for the above example are:
FALSE
FALSE
TRUE
TRUE
I have two questions:
a. Check the code below:
Dim news1 As String, news2 As String
news1 = "new"
news2 = "polygon"
Dim countie As Integer
For buddie = 2 To b1.UsedRange.Rows.Count
'If b1. Cells(buddie, 1).Value Like "new*polygon" Then
If b1.Cells(buddie, 1).Value Like news1*news2 Then
countie = countie + 1
n1.Cells(buddie, 10).Value = "test"
End If
Next buddie
I have 2 strings, news1 and news2, i need to use the like function to check the occurance of these two strings in all the cells, and just for testing purpose, im printing 'test' it out in another excel sheet.
How do i make that work? the commented line shows what exactly i want, only that i dont want to hard code the string values.
b. If i have a value in the cell:
/new/blahblah/anycra/polygon
how do i split it so as to assign two variables to have 'new' and 'polygon'.
I have two sheets that need to have unique partial matches aligned side by side. My first sheet is my database. The righter most column of this sheet contains a unique combination of letters and numbers.
My second sheet contains a single column which I export each month from our CMS and is a list of URLs. Within each of these URLs appears the unique set of letters and numbers from sheet 1 (and only appears once).
There are about thrice as many URLs in sheet 2 as there are entries in my sheet 1 database.
Ideally, I would like the URL from sheet 2 that contains the unique combination from sheet 1 to be pasted in the cell immediately to the right of the given unique combination.
However, I will settle for a list of trues and falses next to the URLs in sheet two that I can erase the falses, sort and paste next to the sorted list from sheet 1.
I made a 12 month calender made by first sheet how can I copy the first sheet to all 11 sheets with all the formulas included.

I've got the following macro which I used to copy and transpose an array of data from a 'working' workbook (data in columns) to a 'summary' workbook (data in rows). This worked great in excel 2003 as I used all the columns available (ie. up to IV).
I've run into a problem now I'm using Excel 2007 as there are now significantly more columns. The macro is now trying to copy and transpose every single column in the workbook and is taking a ridiculous amount of time.
How would I adjust this macro so that it only copied a set number of columns? I'd like it to copy only up to column ATV in working.
Sub test()
Dim i As Integer, n As Long
Sheets("summary").Columns("b:iv").Clear
For i = 7 To Columns.Count Step 3
n = n + 1
With Sheets("working").Cells(8, i).Resize(11)
Sheets("summary").Cells(n + 2, "b").Resize(.Columns.Count, .Rows.Count) _
.Value = Evaluate("if(transpose(working!" & .address & ")=0,"""",transpose(working!" & .Address & "))")
End With
Next
End Sub
I have been using a macro in Word created from pieces all over the internet (credit to a user named matt198992 for recursion script). The code prompts a user for folder, then runs a macro called Publish as PDF to all word files in the folders/subfolders.

Although I have seen lots of formulae to total a dynamic column, I found a brilliant formula on the Internet, as follows
HTML Code:
=SUM(OFFSET(INDIRECT("R1C",),,,ROW() -1))
The problem is I cannot work out how to adapt it to total across rows (which will expand with new columns).
Is it possible to display a name on a chart that is not the X or Y value?
I've been sent this macro which displays the school name on a chart when the mouse is on the data point - its all well and good but on the graph I am working on, the X and Y value are both values and I want the school name to come up as well.

I'm in the process of combining a lot of worksheets into one and found the code on the following site:

which almost does what I need. I understand how it works (i think!) but as a vba novice I can't work out how to adapt the code to copy more than one range from the source workbooks.
What I want to be able to do is copy say the following cells from each workbook:
A1
D1

I think what I need to do is call the getdata macro multiple times with different ranges, but I can't quite work out how to do that without simply creating multiple copies of the master file.

View 3 Replies View RelatedIn my spreadsheet, on the first worksheet called "Working". Column A, called "Results", contains carrot ^ delineated string values in each cell (i.e."john^apple^pear^banana^grape^love^heart^pickle"). The majority of string values in every cell in my "Results" column match a "source" column of Pick-List Values, called "Fruits" in the same spreadsheet, however found in a different worksheet called "Lists" (also in Column A). I want to perform 3 functions against my "Results" Column on worksheet "Working":
1.) Report In Column B: Analyze column "Results" by cell and return carrot delineated string values for only those that match my "Fruits" Pick-List
2.) Report In Column C: Analyze column "Results" by cell and return carrot delineated string values for only those do not match my "Fruits" Pick-List
3.) Report In Column D: Identify and return all unique values in "Column C" as a List.
Attached is a simple example of what I'm trying to accomplish called " Sorting.xls"
This is for Excel 2007,I have two sets of model numbers. One set is the full model numbers of the units we use, and the other is an abbreviated form used to lookup up certificate numbers. I need a way to match these up so I can use one set of search criteria to find out if there is a match. Here is an example of what I need to match with a partial text match:
H,AE35(6,9)36+TD and AE3563636D145C2501AP
H,RE36(6,9)36 and RE36936C145B2505AP
if I could do this with a formula that matches multiple items at the same time (ie; if A & B & C match=true) with the above model number being one of those items (certificate numbers are issued for sets, but the other model numbers are fine).If that's not possible, a one time VBA run to match all of the abbreviations at once would also work. If these items are matched up with a one time VBA, the VBA needs to account for their being more than one match for each abbreviation depending on the size of the unit.
So H,AE35(6,9)36+TD could be matched to:
AE3563636D145C2501AP
AE3563636D175C2501AP
AE3563636D210C2501AP
is it possible to have a cell return all matches from a list and have the list of matches reduce as you type, then be able to select one item from the list? this is a typical feature on internet sites, but can it be done in Excel?

I know how to count how many cells in a column contain the text "cars" for example, but how would i write a formula that include cells with other text as well?
For example if 55 cells have "cars" as a value and 20 cells have "fast cars" as a value
I would want the formula to count 75.
Basically, it needs to count how many cells cars appears in, in a specific column, regardless of whether its alone in the cell or part of a sentence.
I've tried lookup, match and sumproduct and nothing works.

=COUNTIF(SEARCH("radio",A2:A20),"")
i just want to count all the cells from a2 to a20 that has a word "radio" from that cells. Since a2 until a20 have different words like tv power, radio blaster (this should be consider because there's a radio word on it) and so on.
if i use only =COUNTIF(A2:A20,"radio") the word should be exact "radio" and it wont consider the word "radio blaster".
In cells A1:A10 I have the following list;
FLOUR
DOUGH
CHICKEN
BEEF
PEPPERS
TOMATOES
CHEESE
ONIONS
POTATOES

I am looking for a formula (Vlookup, Match, etc) that will look for an entry in column A that matches part of the string in cell B1 (not the other way around i.e. using wildcard)
How do you do a vlookup with a partial match?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have one list of waybill numbers which are 12 digits long and I have another file of waybill numbers which are 15-16 digits long. I have tried a VLookup but I do not get matches on these since the digits are not the same length. Is there any other formula I can use to match a 12 digit waybill against a 15-16 digit waybill number? I am assuming that if 12 digits match in both lists that it is an exact match.
