Any Way To Validate Formula Only Searching Front Of A Word?
Jul 18, 2012
Here is the current code I am using: =IF(A1="MIXED DBLs 1st Place",'Mixed Doubles'!B9,"")
What has happened is I am changing the Field Mixed DBLs to a field that could have multiple values, so I am no longer going to be able to do a test on a Hard-Coded Value.. So is there a way to only validate on the front of the word like just MIXED DBLS and nothing after that??
I am trying to do, is paste a word in front of text that is already residing in cell throughout an entire column, and then automate this process by creating a macro that will do the same thing for me throughout an entire column. To best explain this, it woudl be like if you have a column 100 rows/cells long, and every cell already contains data. I need to insert something in front of what lies within each cell.
I finally bought the "book" and now I am going through trying to write cleaner macros.
I am searching for a key word in a header. When I find that key word. I want to select the info in that row from the last record up to the header. Then I want to copy that info and paste it into another column.
so trying to learn from the book - I want to use the R1C1 style - but as you can see I don't quite understand yet. I want to copy and paste into column "J" for example... so i'm using 10 in the range.
write a macro that search first Row and if its finds the word "Date" then the whole column should select and change the Number formatting to Date, and if it finds the word "Time" it should change the formatting for the whole column to Time.
Below is the format of Table where it should change the formatting of Date, Start Time and End Time.
some of the code proved inflexible when applied to other columns of data. I have some VBA code that could work if it can be modified. First the code:
Sub ColorMe() Dim lRw As Long lRw = Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
[Code].....
The way things are right now, if a cell in the B-column contains the word "April" (and ONLY that word), the contents of the C-column's cell on the same row receives a red font color (index 3 as per the example above). The idea is to modify the code so that it searches for the word "April" in a string of text such as "Mike's April Trip" and color the contents of the cell to the right of it accordingly. Is this possible?
As an aside, conditional formatting does not work for the purpose that the cells are being colored for. It needs to remain hard-coded like in the script above, hence why I am just looking to modify something that 'sort-of' works.
I am trying to create a search function in a database I have made. I have a userform with drop down boxes that people can choose what they want to search for. Once they have chosen and clicked the search button I want it to search only in the relevant column, i.e. search for the word in the dropdown for "engine" only in the "engine" column of the database. Once it has found the appropriate cells with the answer, I want it to delete all other rows that don't include the answer.
Once it's done this it needs to do it again for the other fields, unless they are empty. I have used 'If engine_type <> "" Then' as the starting point so that it only searches chosen fields.
Trying to create a formula, assume it will need to be a nested formula since I need to validate that cells are not blank and if so use a different cell .....
We have agreed maximum rates with suppliers for certain services and I'd like to check that the rates they have invoiced fall below the agreed maximum.
I've attached an example of the data I'm working with. What I'm after is a formula that will cross check the details and rate charged on the 'Invoiced' tab against the three 'rate card' tabs and generate an output that flags any discrepancies. I've added a column called 'Validate' on the 'Invoiced' tab where I'd like this formula to go.
All the data should match with the exception of the shift which is listed as a description on the rate card but is a concatenation of the job role and an abbreviation of the shift (D = Days, N = Nights/ Saturday and O = Sunday/ Bank Hols).
2 formulas that I need for my work (related with linear recurrences; this is serious work). First, I would like to know if is it possible to write a formula (or a set of formulas) that allows to write in a first column, in the first cell, the number 1 and in the following m cells, m distinct numbers chosen in a set S of n numbers (n > m); in the second column again the number one, and another set of m distinct numbers chosen in the same set S (here the order of the elements matters which means that the set {1,2} can be written as (1,2) and (2,1)). And I would like to do this until all the choices of m (ordered) numbers chosen in the set S are exhausted. Example: S = {2,3,4} which means that n=3. Suppose m=2. Then the columns would be
111111 223344 342423
The second formula I'm searching is (I think) a logical formula. What I would like is a formula that checks if the numbers in a fixed number of consecutive cells of a column are distinct and also non-null. If that's the case the formula should assign TRUE and if (at least) two cells are equal or (at least) one is zero, it would assign FALSE.
I am trying to find a way to count non occurances of a number in a array of numbers. I have a list that is being entered like 112233222 and i want to know if there has been a gap of 7 since a 1, 2 or a 3 has been last inputted and indentify that number which ever it may be. Once this has happened i need to keep monitoring the string for any other occurances that are entered after. So above It would alert me that 1 had not come up in sequence for 7 times, and then if the entry continued and it looked like this 1122332221121 then 3 would be identified as not occuring for 7 times.
I have a formula that looks at a cell on a front sheet, and then returns the contents of that cell as the result if it meets the criteria. So for example this formula would be in Cell A1 on Sheet2 IF(SHEET1!A1,"New",Sheet1!A1,"-")
This formula is always in the same cell (different sheet) as the cell that it is looking at, down 1500 rows. Instead of having the formula named for each cell is there anyway to ask excel to 'look at this cell but on this other sheet'. e.g IF(Sheet1!"This Cell" etc). That way no matter what cell you put the formula in it is always referencing the correct cell for the formula?
I have an excel program that is supposed to count word instances in a word document. I can't seem to find the right declaration for a word document. For example to declare a workbook in excel its
Dim wb As Work Book
I've tried
Dim doc As Word.Document 'or Dim doc As Word.Application
as shown in some of the forum posts, but an error user-type not defined keeps displaying.
I have a simple AVG formula and I would like to insert the word "minutes" after the result. I cant get it to work .... i know this is simple, but I am drawing a blank!
I use this formula to look for a word in this range. Can I add to this formula to do the same thing but in a second range, new word. OR can I add a second formula behind this one?
Code: =ISNUMBER(MATCH("CPM",'OBS5'!C7:C26,0))
Can I add the range of D7:D26 and look for GFT with the same formula?
I wrote out a long IF statement in Word, but when I pasted in the formula bar, I got an error. I've determined that the quote marks are causing the error. Can anyone advice how to fix this going through and changing the quote marks one-by-one?
I have a UDF which basically accomplishes a lookup. To do that I use this Function name(number As String) Select Case number Case Is = "1" name = "BOB" . . .
I have a question, how do i display a number 0 in front of another number? Example, I am working with these zipcodes and there is a 000213 but it only shows up as 213 in the cell. Is there a way for it to be 000213 with out me using the tilde sign `000213?
Is there a formula to find a specific word through many columns? Between A1 and L4500 i got a lot of diffrent information. I want to show if there is any cells in the row with the specific text, a formula in column M. Etc. If C100 got "topside" a notice in column M
I have been looking for a forumla that will put an 'and' between the last two bits of information.
Joe Bloggs Peter Smith Matt Jones
I have list of names in individual cells like above. I have figured out a formula that will put them into a single line (Joe Bloggs, Peter Smith, Matt Jones). But what I need is a formula that will put it into single line and insert an 'and' ALWAYS between the last two people. So it should show like (Joe Bloggs, Peter Smith and Matt Jones) but if I remove Matt Jones it should now display as (Joe Bloggs and Peter Smith).
In column A i am using the following formula to output "Our Apple" when "Apple" is in column D and "Our Banana" when "Banana" is in column E:
[Code] .....
I would like the formula to also output "Big Apple" immediately underneath "Our Apple" when its present, and output "Big Banana" immediately below "Our Banana" when it is present.
The yellow column is how column A should look after the formula edit.
The word doesn't have to be bolded depending on the result. It will either appear or not based on the result of the formula. But obviously, if it appears, it [should] be bolded...
Obviously you can't format text on the formula bar. This is something I've wanted to do in Excel for YEARS!
I have two sheets, the first called 'AF' and the other called 'POR'. For one of the columns in the 'AF' sheet I used the following formula - VLOOKUP(B2,POR!$A$2:$A$111254,1,FALSE) to retrieve a string consisting of 7 numerical digits (Ex. 4678451). Now if I want this result of 7 digits in the same 'AF' sheet to be converted to the word "YES" - how do I achieve this? (All the 7 digits numbers are different or unique). Is there some sort of REPLACE command I use here or some other means?
I need to replace part of a formula. I need to delete the workbook reference: "[Combined Flow2.xlsm]". I need to do this for range A1:Z100 and this is what I record when deleting them one at a time:
[Code] ........
How can I do this to delete it from all worksheets for the range A1:Z100 besides one at a time.
Is it possible to use the Sumproduct formula to search for a particular word and grab the amount in the next column, but 1 row down? For example, I would search for region 1, but want to grab the figure in the total loans column next to Consumer.
Region Loan Type Total Loans --------- ------------ -------------- Region 1 Commercial 150000 Consumer 75000 Region 2 Commercial 90000 Consumer 145000
