Check For The Presence Of A Particular Text
Jun 1, 2009
I have 3 columns, C1, C2, C3. I have to return a value for the following conditions
1. Check for the presence of a particular text in the C 1 (duplicate values can be present)
2. Check for the maximum value in C2, if the second for the particular text from the first column (duplicate values can be present)
3. If the text is found, I need to return the Maximum value from column 3. Else I need to return 0.
My formula has been returning zero despite the fact that I have a larger valid value in column C3.
The formula(s) I have been running is
1. IF((AND(C1 = "E", Max(C2))), (C3),0)
2. IF((AND(C1 = "E", Max(C2))),MAX (C3),0) (In case of duplicated in C3)
3. IF((AND(C1 = "E", Max(C2))),MAXA(C3),0)

If I have a named range ("colors") which contains a bunch of different colors, and in a separate cell, I want to test whether a particular color is present in that range, how would I do that? For example:
Red
Green
Blue
=if([range contains "yellow"],1,0)
this formula would return 0.
=if([range contains "green"],1,0)
this formula would return 1.
I'm having trouble with the part in []'s.

I want to create some code that checks all the cells in a row to find if any cell has a background color and if it finds any colored cell, to then set the first column of that row to that color.

I want Excel VBA to check for named worksheets. Based on the return, I will have VBA either (1) delete the named worksheets and replace them or (2) refresh the pivot tables on the named worksheet. how to make VBA check for the presence of the named worksheets. My efforts are below and comments at the end of the Sub detail what I want to have happen.
Sub EnterProgram()
Dim Current_P As String, New_P As String
Current_P = Range("data!C2")
If Current_P = "" Then
New_P = InputBox("Which program?")
Do While New_P = ""
Prog = InputBox("Try again... Which program?")
Loop
Range("data!C2") = New_P
ElseIf Current_P = New_P Then
If MsgBox("Use the current program (yes or no)?", vbYesNo) = vbYes Then
Range("data!C2") = New_P
End If........................................

I am trying to apply a conditional format to an entire row based on the presence of any value in the first cell of that row to format to a certain color. If there isn't something present in the first cell, I don't want it to change.
Everything I keep trying ends up highlighting the entire workbook.
I would like to apply the rule to the entire sheet but only have it highlight the rows which have a value/text in the first cell of each row.
I am assuming I should use the formulas selection for conditional formatting but I'm unsure of what formula would apply to this type of request.

I have a sheet in which some of the cells have two strings separated by a linefeed. I have come up with a cumbersome formula which will let me check if either of the two strings is a member of a list stored on another sheet. However, it fails if there is only one string in the cell, presumably as there is no linefeed for the formula to find. How can I modify the formula to cope with this situation?
There are also on occasions, three strings in the cell, but I can't seem to access the middle string with the formula. Simplified spreadsheet attached to show the problem. This must be formula-based, as we have a no VBA policy. If you think there is better way of doing this, please let me know.

I have 2 tabs in a 2013 workbook. Inventory Receipts and lookups. One of the Data verification lookups I have is a drop down list in each cell in Column B (eg: Cat, Dog, Mouse) In the lookups tab I have another cell range containing the sounds (eg: Meow, Bark, Squeak).
What I am trying to acheive is, if B2 contains Cat, then return Meow in B3, if B2 contains Dog then return bark in b3 and if B2 contains Mouse return squeak in B3. Ideally I would like the formula to return the text from my lookup sheet (eg: 'Lookups'!C2,'Lookups'!C3,'Lookups'!C4). So depending on which option they choose from my animal drop down list .. the correct noise would automatically fill in.

Can the below be achieved with any formulae or macro -
I have 2 worksheets (sheet1 & sheet2). In sheet2, i have some colors in column A (e.g. "red" in A1, "blue" in A2, "green" in A3.
In sheet1, i have some text strings in column A, e.g.
A1: I love red color
A2: my pen in blue
A3: Green grass
A4: Orange juice
A5: I like red and blue
What i want in corresponding cells in column B, is the name of the color which is in column A. so my output should be
B1: red
B2: blue
B3: green
B4: "NIL" (any error message)
B5: red (even though it contains 2 color, i am happy to show any one of the colors it contains)

am trying to write code to check if a cell contains specific text.
Basically, I hide all of the rows on the spreadsheet, and unhide them only if certain conditions are true.
Everything else, including first check is not a problem, it is just the part where I need to find specific text within a cell that contains various words.
Also, the cell I am searching for the text in is on a different sheet within the same book.
e.g.
------------------------
'Check for Specific parts
If Cells(intCount, 11).Value = "Yes" And ??(Does Cell 'x' (on a different worksheet) Contain the Word "Specific")? Then
'Select row
Rows(intCount).Select
'hide row
Selection.EntireRow.Hidden = False
End If

I'm trying to identify if text contained in one cell is also contained in another cell. I used the following formula with some success, but it is not successful in all situations, and I don't know why.
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(+A1,C1)),"yes","")
Attached is a spreadsheet with the example.

I'm on a time crunch and can't remember or seem to be able to find how to check if a value stored in a variable is a number or is text.
I want to be able to define QTY under the general public definition with no designation (i.e. integer, date, string...so on.)
The variable QTY could be anything and I grab some parsed data from a cell, if it is filled with a number I want to keep it, if not I want to delete it.
I know how to keep it or delete it, I just need to know how to check for integers...(check to see if it is a number from the keypad...I can still store it as text -- maybe integer isn't the best word).
I see you (whomever you is) fixed the "Deletked" in the message box...it is now Deleted. I can't give you a hard time about not following the rules now.

I am using a check box on a form i have created. If it is unchecked (default = checked) then it enables a text box (default enable = false). The problem is if the user changes their mind and recheckes the check box it will not disable the the textbox. The text box stays enabled no matter what the check box's status is. I am unsure how to approuch making the following happen:
checkbox = True ----- textbox = (enabled = False)
Checkbox = False ------- textbox = (enabled = True)

I'm having a hard time figuring out a solution for this situation. By the way I'm working in VBA macros. I need to check a cell for two things: if its empty or if it has something besides numbers in it. I know how to code the rest of what I need, but I'm just stuck on identifying if the cell has something else besides numbers inside it.
Possible entries would be "Isn't an enhancement" or "NOT A SIR", but I can't be sure those are the only things so I just generally need to check if there are any letters in that cell or not. One thing to note is that the contents of the cells are in text format and not number (the cell has a little green arrow in the top left that tells me about it). Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance! Oh, just remembered, the number has to be 5 numbers long so I thought of using the Len() function but that doesn't cover things that are words under 5 letters like "None".

What I want is to find out whether a value in a node can be found from a group of other nodes. I've tried lupike this, but it doesn't seem to work properly.
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(C1;$A$2:$A$200));"WAS FOUND"; "NOT FOUND")
I guess one solution could have been using concatenate function, but why on earth can't I use the function like this: concatenate(A1:A5)? Why do I have to put each term individually?

1. I have text message on Excel Sheet 1. I have designed a form that has Multiple Check Boxes. Primary, CO-applicant and Co-signer vertically placed. And I have 3 Check Boxes that have been placed Horizontally Alerts, Public records and Mismatch Information.
What I am looking is I should be able to Pick 1 or all the 3 from Vertical Check Box which would be Primary, or co-applicant and Co-signer and also appropriately pick any from the Horizontal Check Boxes Alerts, Public Records and Mismatch Info.
For example: I the Text Box1 below should appear like this:
Primary: DOB Mismatch or and Bankruptcy any of those options.
Similarly for Co-applicant and Co-signer.
2. I have a Text Box2 on Comments page. The information from Text Box 1 Appears in Text Box 2. Once the form is run I am unable to make corrections if any in Text Box 2. Is it possible for me to edit the test that is copied in Text Box 2.

I receive thousands of raw data every week as shown in the excel sheet {raw data}
I would like to use a macro that could automatically sort the raw data like the format in the excel sheet {template}
For example:
Looking at the raw data and compare with the template, i would have to delete the whole columns that have (BU_CODE , EAN_CODE, SUPPLIER_CODE, SUPPLIER_NAME , BRAND_NAME, and SUB_CATEGORY_CODE) and add in columns and name it as Principal, Cateogry , Brand and range).

I have a user form with 10 textboxes on and when you press the command button, VBA will send the values in each text box to a cell on the sheet. If a user only wants to enter one value, it zeroes all the others in that row!! Does anyone have any ideas please in very very basic lamens code!! It is only relating to the user form called "Figures1". I had an if command running in the "decweek1" modules, but it makes my procedure too long to do the same with the other one!
If you look at my code, you can see how unadvanced I am with this so really simple code would be gratefully received!! If anyone feels nice enough you could always write the code for this problem for me and send me back the workbook, however I don't expect anyone to do this!
It is too large to attach so it is here:-
