Code To Look For Words Within Cell And Delete The Row
Jan 21, 2014
I have sheet 1 with a list of numbers in column A and a list of text next to them in column B. I need the code to look at a list of words that will be in column A on sheet 2 and if any of those words appear anywhere within the cell (could be at the beginning, middle or end) in column B on sheet 1 then I need the entire row deleted.

I'm using =LEN(TRIM(C2))-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(C2," ",""))+1 to do a word count. What I need is a formula that will delete all characters between the first and last word if the word count equals more than 2. Even just a formula to determine the location of the first and last space so I can use MID() to cut it out.
I have a column containing mixed text and I want to remove everything from the column except instances of certain colors; black, red, blue etc. Is there a formula which would do this or can it be done with Search/Replace?
I have about 2000 rows, all with an amount of words between 2 and 6. I want to limit each row to keep only the first TWO words. Is there a way to do this?
If not, is there a way to limit each row to only keep the first 11 characters?
I need a formula which can clean up a huge data set. Essentially i need to delete the entire word which contains the characters "aceae". note that "aceae" is a suffix, but i need to delete the entire word not just the suffix, plus keep the rest of the string. i have tried the "find and replace" function of excel with wildcard, but that deletes everything before/after without deleting the entire word. i have tried a combination of formulas to isolate the unwanted words, but that method is inefficient and inaccurate. below is a schematic of what im looking to do:
Column A ------------------------------ Column B l. planeri asteraceae africa laselva-----> l. planeri africa laselva l. planeri moraceae europe singer------> l. planeri europe singer origin l. fluviatilis bignoniaceae asia----> origin l. fluviatilis asia alternate l. fluviatilis piperaceae asia---> alternate l. fluviatilis asia
how to create one macro: I have a spreadsheet with 8 columns with various text headings. Each column has different data (some show dates, some show only figures, some show text). Specifically, column E (entitled "Sub Item Reference") has various text entries (e.g. "Newsletter" or "Booklet"). I am hoping to find a simple macro that will search column E and delete any rows where that column contains the text "Cover" or "Label". I'm sure it's the simplest thing going but I can't seem to work it out.
On the sheet titled Price List, in row 1, I have an =IFERROR(HLOOKUP( formula to show what I need. The Data Pull sheet can be updated using a third party software, and retailers can be added or deleted. The purpose is that if a retailer is deleted from the Data Pull sheet, it will automatically be removed from the list on the Price List sheet, rather than just showing a bunch of N/A's in every cell. Then if it is re-added in the future, it will repopulate on the Price List sheet.
The formula I have in row 1 is my manual way of showing whether or not the retailer was deleted. If it contains EXCLUDE, you can go in and manually delete the column. However, I would rather have a macro do this.
Hi I don't know much about creating excel formulas, but I have a need to turn one column of sorted words into alphanumerical versions in the next column over.
Kind of like a word list key code. Each key code must be encompassed around [ brackets ]
Where would I start to try and accomplish something like this?
I've got a sheet that I build from a weekly sheet. I can have 30 to 60 rows, but I always have 10 to 20 rows left over with data in column C, none in A, my last code is "Range("A1").End(xlDown).Offset(1, 0).Select" which takes me to the last cell in column A. Any code that I can then delete say 20 rows after that? I tried one code, but it wanted to delete everything below the cell selected which ran & ran.
"-" are blanks. Range moves the selected cell to A4. I want to delete row selected + 19 more.
how would one change the actual code words - instead of using if statements i would like to have when statements that do exactly the same thing, i just want to write "when blah then blah"
I want to delete the contents of every cell without deleting any code from my module. The reason I ask is, I'm reading from a text file into excel.
I want to run my code to read text into excel one time through. Then i want to delete all the text, make some alterations to my code, and run the code again. That way each time the worksheet is fresh and clear before i run the code.
I need an easy code that searches all of column A and deletes the entire row if the cell has the value "-". It needs to find the last row of data using something like LastRow = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
This code is not accepting the values which is starting from strings like this
for example
bearing 15/16 IN LG, 1-1/16 IN OD, 11/32 IN THK,21/128 IN ID 19/128 IN LG, 2-3/64 IN OD, 1/2 IN THK, 5/64 IN ID steel 15/16 IN LG, 1-1/16 IN OD, 11/32 IN THK,21/128 IN ID 19/128 IN LG, 2-3/64 IN OD, 1/2 IN THK, 5/64 IN ID spares 15/16 IN LG, 1-1/16 IN OD, 11/32 IN THK,21/128 IN ID
I'm trying to write a VBA script which will delete all rows in my Excel spreadsheet where Column I (which contains a status code) does not contain the word "Completed".
At the moment, I'm doing this the other way round: my script is able to search for entries in Column I which contain the status codes "Pending", "Awaiting Authorisation", "In Progress" etc and delete them. The idea is that when all those rows are deleted, I'll only be left with rows which have a status of "Completed". This works fine at the moment. However, the concern is that if a brand new status code is added to the data file, my script would be unable to pick it up and delete it. This is a small sample of the code I'm currently using (which deletes all the rows with statuses other than Completed):
I have a column of words in Column A and I want to replace all the times that these words appear in the rest of the excel sheet with the words in Column B. If someone has already answered a similar problem link me to the thread because I can't find anything.
I'm looking for a macro to remove all words (in a single word per cell format) in a range (approx 100 columns & 7000 rows), except for a list of 100 words.
I've been using conventional method to do this and it's time consuming. I would like to total up 2 column. A multiply B to be exact. Below are some examples:
Table 1 - Before totaling up:
Quantity Product 5 2 x Button A White 3 4 x Button B Pink 4 5 x Ribbon A Black 2 3 x Thread A White 6 2 x Cloth A Blue
Table 2 - After totaling up:
Quantity Product 10 Button A White 12 Button B Pink 20 Ribbon A Black 6 Thread A White 12 Cloth A Blue
I need to have the sum of the "Quantity" multiply "Product". Or in short A x B. And the end result need to have the number and "x" sign removed while keeping on the the products names. (2 x ) Take note it's "number" space "symbol" space.
I am trying to find certain words in a column and delete the word and characters following. For example, Say I have a column of info as seen below. This is a test of me. I am just experimenting with this stuff. Deleted (6/15/01) Let me know what you think. I am not sure about it all, but I guess I will figure it out. riviledge1 (01/05/06) Now let's see what happens when I try to test it.
I want to find all the "Priviledge1 (01/05/06)" and replace with nothing. Please note, the date will change with each record, so I need to figure out how to tell Excel to find "Priviledge1", delete it and the date behind it. So I want to delete "Priviledge1" and the next 11 characters including the space.
On to the topic, I have all the US and Canadian states abbreviated (CO = Colorado, etc.) and was wondering if there is a way to make all of them convert to their respective names in one fell swoop instead of writing it in for each one, one at a time. Something along the lines where I can make, CO = Colorado, TX = Texas and then hit enter and all of the abbreviations would convert. Some kind of command.
I want to sort on number of words, i.e. if a cell contains 1 or 2 words etc, with the cells containing 1 word coming first then cells containing 2 words. Also, if possible, first the cells with fewer characters.
I have tried Sumproduct and Countif and can not get a proper count of rows that contain specific words in multiple columns. I have attached an example spreadsheet where I am looking for a result of 7 rows that contain 1 to 4 specific words within phrases. The example looks for the words: "virus", "spyware", "malware" & "adaware", and ignores any other words like "aware" or "ware".
I have 4-5 separate lists of words/letters and I would like to combine them in a certain order but creating all possible combinations resulting a new word. It's like a conjugation tool for verbs. For example if List 1 = be/el/ki/meg; List 2= m List3=e/é; List4= gy/" "; List 5=" "/ek/sz/nnek So the output has to be (if the order is List1+List2+List3+List4+List5)= bemegy/bemegyek/bemegysz/bemesz/bemész/elmegy/elmennek/ ..... and all possible combinations.
Preferentially I would like to automate it in a way that it straight outputs into MS Access. Also can it be automated that it reads the list from a file (database)? (Also can it recognize the word by letters? Because the basic word that I would load the program= List2+List3+List4)
