I want to change my existing macro using InStr function in such a way that when the columns are found then it add the corresponding values. The addition of values have already been done. I just want that if similar values are found then it show the results.

I am trying to write a function that recalculates given times to points (as used in speedskating).
The times are filled in by a number of people, which each use their own method of dividing minutes from seconds (and 1/100 of a sec).
I found out how to see the difference between times that look like 1.11.11 and 11.11 etc
How to use that same method in an InStr function. Most of the times I get an error message #Value or something that has that format, sometimes all I get is a 0.

i have a very basic function using instr as follows:
ins = 0
Dim x As Integer
Dim y As Integer
findst = "["
finden = "]"
x = InStr(ins, oldstrgFd, findst, vbTextCompare)
y = InStr(ins, oldstrgFd, finden, vbTextCompare)
Debug.Print x,y
oldstrgFd in the example is populated with
[ClientName] Planning Workshop
[FeedbackLocation], [FeedbackDate]
[FeedbackPresenters]
I am expecting this the first positions of the square brackets, but x and y both return 0.

I am attempting to use the following code to move certain sheets to specific locations in my workbook. The case statement containing the InStr function isn't working eventhough the "Data" tab does exist and the InStr function does return 1.
Code:
ThisSheetToMove = Sheets(SCount).Name
Select Case ThisSheetToMove
Case "Schedule"
Sheets("Schedule").Move Before:=Sheets(1)
Case InStr(1, Trim(ThisSheetToMove), "Data") > 0
Sheets(ThisSheetToMove).Move After:=Sheets(SShtLast)
End Select

I have a column with this info: US,ULS,ULT.
When i have US or ULS or ULT alone in the column the macro is working perfect
But when i have US,ULS together my macro is pulling the information from US.... and is not using the comand .......ElseIf ((InStr(series, "US") 0) And (InStr(series, "ULS") 0)) Then
If (InStr(series, "US") 0) Then
Call HOME
div = "2"
cntr = "Sold"
ElseIf (InStr(series, "ULS") 0) Then
Call Univer
div = "12"
cntr = "House"
ElseIf (InStr(series, "ULT") 0) Then
Call masters
div = "Pi"
cntr = "Down"
ElseIf ((InStr(series, "US") 0) And (InStr(series, "ULS") 0)) Then
Call Univer
div = "24"
cntr = "twin"

I have some text in column A.
I need to find where the last letter "R" is in that text.
Sort of like =FIND("R",A2), but I need it to go from the right side of the text instead of the left side.
Example:
R123R45R78 would return 3.
There may be any number of R's in the text. I can't predict that.

I have run into a brick wall with InStr, Replace, and Len. I take the data from the active cell (formatted as text). I need to cleanup the data and do further massaging of it. In testing cleanup code, I get behavoirs and results I simply don't understand and can't figure out from hours searching forums many places.
The following simplified example commented code can be cut/pasted into a new spreadsheet module and should be self-explanatory. Example data is in the comments. Data is entered by multiple users and multiple sources. Therefore there is no control over the input quality so extraneous characters and multiple repeated periods and spaces can show up anywhere.

i have some existing code which is trigerred when anything is input into column c. The code then adds various information in another three columns. One of which pastes a vlookup formulae, and i would like this forumlae pasted into the column c cell which i initialy edited, in order to remove the requirement for one additional column.
The existing code i have is:
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
Dim MyText As String
MyText = Environ("username")
If Target.Cells.Column = 3 Then
With Target
If .Value "" Then
.Offset(0, 2).Formula = "=VLOOKUP(D:D,'P:TAOffshoreTAOffshoreTreasuryRecsGeneralCommit ID''s for control Sheet - Do not move or delete[commit ids - DO NOT DELETE OR MOVE.xls]Sheet1'!$A$1:$B$65536,2,0)"
[code].....
I have tried changing the offset to (0,0) or changing the offset to 'target = ', which does add in the vlookup but then the macro debugs at the 'If .Value "" Then' code?

How would I add this formula as a worksheet function with VBA. I can't see INT, MOD or Year in VBA. Also want to change C2 to change to activecell column + row 2.
=INT(((C2-1461)- SUM(MOD( DATE(YEAR(C2-MOD(C2,7)+3),1,2)-1461,{1E+99,7})*{1,-1})+5)/7)

I am trying to do is look at the first two digits of the number in column c (Range c5:c5000) if the number starts with 01 then I need the formula in column g = f5*12 if the number is 03 then I want the formula to be g=f5*24 I have several of these "cases" or "if" to put in can someone get me going a little further
Here is what someone gave me to work with but I'm having troubles getting it to work...I get a name error in the cell and I cant use this they way it is because the code needs to go into the sheet mod with a bunch of other code.Also when I use the Option Explicit the rest of my code wont work.
Option Explicit
Function re(Cl As Range, Src As Range)
Dim i As Long
Select Case Left(Cl, 2)
Case "01": i = 12
Case "03": i = 24
End Select
re = Src * i
End Function
=re(C5,F5)

I'm trying to use Excel to keep team standings for a baseball board game. I had no problem calculating wining percentage. Finally figured out how to calculate 'games behind.' Now I'm wondering if there is a way to change the font color of a team name based on their wining pct?
A typical row contains: A2(Team Name), B2 (Wins), C2 (Losses), D2 (Pct (B2/(B2+C2)), E2 (GB). Is there a way to use the IF function to return the 'Team Name' in green if D2>.500, 'Team Name' in red if D2<.500, and 'Team Name' in black if D2=.500 ??

I am attempting to write a bit of code so that Vlookup is called when a particular cell in my spreadsheet is populated.
Although it seems to be working, it is only pulling in the data in row 1.
An example of the code is below.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Row 1 Then
If Target.Column = 2 Then

I am using the STDEV function on a range of values: STDEV($I$26:I2545). My starting cell is constant and I would like to make my ending cell variable based on a value I enter in a master cell (A1). The value I enter in the master cell is multiplied by 252 the product would equal the row number I would like to stop at. So if I enter 1 the formula will be STDEV($I$26:I252). I tried: STDEV($I$26"I"&(A1*252))) and other such variations to no avail

I have just written a function that sums all the values in the cells in a range that are not green. This works however if one of the non green cells is changed to green the function does not work. i have to re input it into the cell that i put it into.
Function SumNotGreen(SelectedCells As Range)
' Adds the values of the cells where the font colour is not green(35).
Dim Cell As Object
Dim x As Double
x = 0
For Each Cell In SelectedCells
If Cell.Interior.ColorIndex <> 35 Then
x = x + Cell.Value
End If
Next Cell
SumNotGreen = x
End Function
How can i make the function recalculate i.e. go back into the loop every time a change is made.

Is there a way to either change this so that it lets me to select the whole area or a way to make a macro to do what this does to one cell?
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("M13:IR458")) Is Nothing Then
Select Case Target.Value
Case "1"
Target.Font.ColorIndex = 20
Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 10
Case "Good"
Target.Font.ColorIndex = 2
Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 35
Case "Stable"
Target.Font.ColorIndex = 2
Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 27......................

I work for a store and we're migrating to a new Point of Sale system. The new POS uses the entire UPC code while our existing one uses only partial UPCs, so I have to update from the partial to the full. ex. Partial 3378093 - Full 0033780935
The partial UPC will always be included in the full UPC, the difference is the dropped leading zeros (and possibly other numbers) and the check digit number at the end. What I have is a spreadsheet with with two worksheets (Old, New) - one has our old UPCs and other information, the other has the new, full UPCs and more information we'll need. What I want to do is write a function that will search through the full list of new UPCs to find the one with the old UPC inside it and return the full UPC. InStr seems the right function to do this - correct?
The part I'm having trouble with is writing something that will search through the full column of new UPCs using InStr. I've searched through the forum for a similar situation but the few I've found aren't working or appropriate. I don't want to include any code I've written because 1) it doesn't work and 2) it would be way too embarassing!

Here is the situation:
- Large block of text in one cell (1000+ words).
- I use the Find & Replace function (from the top menu) to find a specific word that may appear several times within the cell.
- Excel "highlights" the cell... but not the word specifically so I have to read all the text to find that word throughout the cell.

How to make it function able. Here are the details.I have a user form named UserForm1 in the user form I have a text box and combo box. Combobox is named as ComboBox1 and text box is named as TextBox1.
Along with the above 2 fields in form, I have 2 labels, Label2 & Label6.
TextBox1 contains date (which user can either type or chose form calendar), and ComboBox1 will have Employee ID that needs to be choose. Upon selecting both, my Label2 caption should have employee name & Label6 caption should have shift time.
By using formulas in excel I have employee name in Sheet2 cell b2 and shift time in Sheet2 cell b3. Upon change either in ComboBox1 or TextBox1, I want data in Sheet2 cell b2 be the caption of Labe2 and data in Sheet2 cell b3 be the caption of Labe6.
What is the code to get this done, if either of them is blank, then label caption should be blank.

how I format the IF function to change the colour of the text in a cell, I know how to use conditional formating but it wont do what I need it to.
The formula I'm using (See Below) only inserts the word "Red" or "Green" in the cell it does not change the colour of the text.
