Code To Search For Matching Text In A Table Then Copy Next Line
Jan 26, 2014
I have a spread sheet with Column A = Document number, Column B = revision.
I am trying to get a macro that, when run, increases the revision letter in column B. The problem is that we do not use a few of the letters such as I, O, P and Q.
I thought it would be best to have a table of the used revision letters (Say in Z1 to Z40)
Look at the text in column B of the row currently selected and find it in the Z1:Z40 table
Move one cell down the Z1:Z40 table and copy that text back into column B on the row initially selected.
Our small family business has a mailing campaign that we track with excel. However, we're very concerned about users opening the macro-filled master spreadsheet. Instead, we'd like a macro to do everything for them.
When a letter comes back in the mail with a bad address, the user types the Street number and street name such as "1234 Main St" into $A2 of c:dropbox eturned.xlsm, presses the macro button, and it should do the following:
Opens and Searches "Sheet1", "column S", in the file c:dropboxmaster1.xlsm, and finds the LAST instance of the address typed.Selects that entire rowCopies the entire row.Pastes the contents into the row of the active cell in the destination spreadsheet, overwriting what was there before. Such as $2:$2 if the address was typed in $A2.In the master1.xlsm spreadsheet, sets the entire copied row color to "gray".closes master1.xlsm and saves changes.
The end result is that the user now has an identical row of information in their spreadsheet, and the master spreadsheet's row is colored gray indicating it has been completed.
Other notes:I'm open to more efficient steps than this if you have them.There are approx 5,000 records to search through in master1.xlsx at any given time.
I have a spreadsheet where on a weekly basis data is copied in to various tabs. I then have a "formula" tab where I have a single line of formulas which look up the various data tabs and extract the results I want to show.
Currently each week, before I import the new data into the various tabs, I copy the last row in the "formula" tab and paste to the line below it. This contains all the working formulas. I then paste values only on the line that I copied, thus "locking in" the values it calculated with that weeks data. This means that each row then contains the results with that week's data, and this will grow week by week.
What I am looking for is a formula that automates this process. So let's say that row 30 is the final row of data on my formula tab, it contains the formulas I want to use. I would need a macros that does the following:
1. Looks up last row (row 30) 2. Copies last row (row 30) 3. Pastes to next empty row (row 31) 4. Pastes values only to second last row (row 30)
I'm not too great with writing macros, I've found plenty that can find the last row, but I can't get them to work to highlight that row.
Here is what Im trying to do: I have a VERY large excel file that has groups of 4 cells, a blank, then another 4, repeating. Kinda like the following:
ExampleCell1 ExampleCell2 ExampleCell3 UID = example
ExampleCell1 ExampleCell2 ExampleCell3
ExampleCell1 ExampleCell2 ExampleCell3 UID = example
That pattern continues for about 3000 lines. However, if you noticed, some of the "groups" dont have the 4th line "UID = example".
Here is what Im trying to do. I want excel to search for the cells with "UID" and DELETE it plus the 3 rows above. So that only the "groups" without the UID remain.
Now Im thinking this may be impossible, but I've seen some crazy things done with excel macros and was really hoping someone can help me out. Otherwise Im doing this manually for 3000+ lines of text.
This follows on from my previous posting [URL] ..... which produced a solution using an ActiveX Combobox that unfortunately does not work on Mac PCs!
I tried to replace the ActiveX with a Form Control Combobox but could not make it work.
So I am trying to use the alternative of "find, copy and paste" the relevant information.
As shown on the attached 140207 FINDALL test.xlsm, I need to find all records containing whatever string is entered into the "Search" cell, and copy data form three columns onto the Entry sheet.
The User will then select whichever of the entries they want to use, which will populate the relevant cells.
Problem: The following Code is not recognising any of the data in the Column being searched.
VB: Option Explicit Sub FINDPARTS() Dim ws As Worksheet, i As Integer, k As Integer, z As Integer, CL, myFind, CHOICE As Range, lr As String, lrG As String,
I'm trying to find a way to search a second sheet in a workbook for specific criteria outlined in a first sheet (in my attached example, from A3 downwards within the 'list of search criteria' sheet), and then to copy any secondary data found against a successful search match to the original sheet, transposed against its corresponding matched search term.
As you can see in the example, the search term 'bindi' (A4 in the 'list of search criteria' sheet) appears in the 'data' sheet 3 times - the secondary data for these occurences ('feathery', 'Fibonacci', 'glassy') is copied to the 'bindi' row on the first sheet and is offset with each copy to produce a transposed-esque effect of copy and paste.
If it's any help, there are a maximum of 9 matches for a single search term in the real document.
Thanks in advance for your help... I tried to adapt a previous solution given to me for a similar question but failed miserably. I bow humbly to your expertise!
I have 3 columns thousands of rows each, P, Q and R. Column R is the names of accounts.
I have another column E with also account names but not in same order as R. Another small glitch is, some of the names in R have extra characters at the end (such as one or more spaces bars, etc). But the entirety of the text in E is present in a cell in R, sometimes with extra characters at the end.
I want to match the account names and pull the corresponding values in the same row from columns P and Q, and populate my currently empty columns C and D.
Private Sub CommandButton3_Click() Dim MyData Set MyData = New DataObject MyData.GetFromClipboard MyData.SetText Me.TextBox1.Text MyData.PutInClipboard MsgBox MyData.GetText End Sub
I get a debug error on the MyData.PutInClipboard line.
I've got a problem which I'd like to do without using VBA if possible. I have 2 rows, one with text and one with numbers. I need to go through all the text, find the text that matches and add the number in that row.
That's very poorly explained so I've given an example below:
I have sheet 1 that in cells V5:V20 is a data validation drop down box. In cells W5:W20 I have another data validation drop down box. On sheet 2 I have a table that in column A matches the data in the drop down box's in column V on sheet 1. Row 1 on sheet 2 data matches the data in the drop down boxes in sheet 1 cells W5:W20. What I'd like to do is on sheet 1 Cells Y5:Y20 have a VBA code to lookup the data in columns V and W from sheet 2 and return the value.
I have a spreadsheet and I was wondering if there is a way to copy from a specific range in say A1:A5 in Sheet1 and paste into Sheet2 where the column matches cell A1 in Sheet1.
I am trying to do this in VBA and I was wondering if there is a way to do this.
I have a few macros that run until line x currently. I've tried to incorporate xl down into my macro but must have misplaced it. I need to paste until the last line of text in column B.
I am having a littler trouble with using a function to find text (last name) in a table and then return full name from the table. See attached sheet with example of what I am looking for.
A quick explanation:
Have a table with columns that have team and name of player. My input is the last name of the player and the team. Need a fomula that searches all the table and then returns the full name of player based on 2 conditions of last name and team.
I need to check a website daily to see if a link has been updated. If it has been updated, the beginning of the link changes to a different date. Example: today link is www.10212009dave.com and tomorrow link may be www.10222009dave.com. Lets say the link is on www.gugg.com. The link does not change everyday, but I think a good way to see if it has been updated is to search through the source code in the html for that link.
Thus I would put www.10212009dave.com into cell A1 and tell excel to search the source code on www.gugg.com, and if the contents of cell A1 is NOT found, I'd display a message box stating the link has been updated.
I have a workbook with one sheet (called "Pipeline") and another sheet called "Completed". The Pipeline sheet is used to keep track of all of the tasks that the team are working on, and then when the task is completed, it needs to be moved to the "Completed tab".
I currently have managed to write some code that looks for items marked "completed" in row G of the "Pipeline" sheet, then copies them over to the "Completed" tab, and then deletes the row from the "Pipeline" sheet.
There is one macro to copy the completed cells (called "Transfer"), and then another to delete the cells (called "Delete"). I then just have macro called "Clean" that just calls the transfer macro, and then calls the delete macro.
Often, there are 6 tasks marked complete, and only some of them will be copied over, but all of them will be deleted (a disaster).
I have a complex list of text (a chart of accounts) with various roll ups for subtotals on one worksheet, and monthly download on another worksheet showing the name of the account and the value. I wish to use match the text to return the value in the front sheet and avoid taking the simple route of linking the cells in case additions are added during the year.
I've tried using IF and VLOOKUP formulas without success - i guess becasue I cannot sort the table in descending order?
What would be the best sort of formula to search using the text, and return a value on the same row?
I'm using a code to search some information in a pivot table and copy the value in the cells with offset(0,1) and is very very slow, I tryed another method with the using of Find but isn't working: error message: missing object in the with cycle.
Here is the working code:
Dim DataFine, DataInizio, UltimaRiga, Gg As Date Dim NomeMacchina, Plant As String Dim Cl As Object Dim Pr As String Application.ScreenUpdating = False
[Code] .......
Here is the code who doesn't work
For i = 6 To 500 Giorno = Sheets("OEE03").Cells(i, 2) With Sheets("01") Pr = Range("A5:A500").Find(Giorno).Offset(0, 1).Value Sheets("OEE03").Cells(i, 9).Value = Pr End With Next
if I use this code on a normal sheet it works but when I try to use it on a Pivot table fields give me always the error message.
I want to search for a specific text in body of an outlook mail attachment,I am able to search for the string in the body of the mail,I also get mails with mail as an attachment i want to search for the string in the attachment as well.
I'm looking for a simple formula within the cells of column B to populate the cell with data based on the "country" mentioned in the string of cells in column A. There will be 20 countries and dependant on the country mentioned a 3 character country code will be entered in column B allowing for easy filtering of people based on country code. so something along the lines of if A1 contains "England" B1 equals ENG etc (for abot 20 countries)
Using the Find Function in VBA with pattern matching, I want to find the End statements in my code. How do I stop it finding the End If statements, of which there are hundreds maybe thousands. I tried End[ ][ ][ ] and End[!I] etc but they exclude the End statements as well.
I am trying to write a macro to search a column for a specific text string which when found, will copy the whole row the string is in. Once this row has been copied, I then want the macro to activate a new sheet and search for the next available empty row to paste the data. Once this has been done, go back to the original sheet and find the next cell in the original column with the specified text string and repeat until the range has been satisfied. Below is the script I have that sort of works.
I have a workbook that usually looks something like this
Category Product No description Price
Balloons 12345 Red Disney balloon .50 Balloons 12567 Blue Princess balloon .86 Balloons 76521 Angry Birds Balloon .80
Kites 23456 A Big red Kite .27 Kites 22222 A small blue kite .06
Banners 10000 Party banner .33
etc..
I need to find a way to copy the category below an empty row from column A and paste it in the blank row in column B . If possible to bolden the text but I could probably work that bit out myself. I'm new to this but have used VBA before to run macros.
I need to test each cell for text and to copy that text into another place (lets say sheet 2). Size of table is variable and here is what i come up up till now
VB: Sub MoveText() Dim WBook As Workbook Dim WSheet As Worksheet
I have a worksheet containing a 'first name' column and a 'last name' column. I've put together a macro that requests a first and last name, then filters on the result, or will filter on the last name only if that is all that is entered (I know this can be done using autofilter, but let's not go there!).
So far so good, but what I want to do is add a bit of code that, when a non-existent last name is entered, displays a message stating this and exits the program rather than trying to filter on the name and displaying no records.
