Column Search For Row Data


I have attached a small example. I have a list of data of employees. I want to be able to input a number (in column A in example) and to search the data records for this number. When the number has been found, the corresponding info data from that Row will show in columns B,C & D.

I have tried this using LOOKUP etc but find that it is "hit & miss". I can input one ID number and the corresponding details will appear, but very often if I enter any other ID numbers further down the sheet I sometimes get the correct data or I might get the "N/A" error. The error seems to occur, I think, if the next input ID number is higher than the last. The ID numbers I input down column A will NOT be in numerical oredr.

Macro To Search A Column And Copy Row Data
I have a dataset that is large. I want to write a macro program that checks the number in cell A1, copies the number and then the rows contents to another worksheet/spreadsheet. Then jumps to cell A2 and if the number is different to that of A1 copy the data of that entire row over from that row to the next worksheet/spreadsheet. If the number is the same as A1 then jump over to A3

Then continue this process but rather than comparing it to A1, compare it to the new number that has been found in coloumn A.

For example

7 A
7 A
6 AB
7 A

So starting at the first line then jumping the next one then to 6 and finally 7.

Search For Two Cells In A Row In Column A
I need to build an if statement around whether or not two blank cells in a row are found in column A moving down from A1

The two blank cells will be between cells that contain data (so no I am not looking for the last cells in the column, matter of fact, the if statement cannot be true based on two blank cells at the end of the column, only inbetween data)

Suedo
If Two blank cells in a row are found between cells that contain data in column 1 do this

Else Do this

Search Column And Insert A New Row
I am trying to loop through a list of numbers in column "U" Each time we encounter a 10 we insert a row before it and copy the text out of column "T" in the old row, and paste it into column "W" in the new row
Then resume and loop to the next 10 and repeat the action till we encounter blank cells. I can do the first loop and insert the new line ok but then I’m out of my depth.

Search Column Delete Row If Value Found
I need a VBA code that will search column H for any value that DOES NOT start with "9" (this is a character field). If it finds a cell that doesn't start with "9", I would like it to delete the entire row. It will need to repeat this process for every cell in Column H that has a value and then stop.

Search A Column Of Dates & Return Data From Another Column
I am trying to get a formula that will search one column range “B” and pull data from another, “D”. Dates are down column “B” and some of those dates are repeated several times. In column “D” there is only one piece of data (a number) entered for each day. Eg, if 08/06/2009 has been entered 3 times in column “A”, there will only be data entered in 1 of the cells of column “D” and blank cells in the other 2.

Column B -- Column D
07/06/09 -- 54000
08/06/09
08/06/09 -- 62000
08/06/09
09/06/09 -- 61000

I couldn’t get the LOOKUP function to work properly, as there are duplicate dates in column “B” and I often got a result of 0 returned.

As I’ve only got 1 piece of data added in column “D” per day and any duplicate days would just have blank cells in “D”, I can actually get a SUMIF function to work, SUMIF(B3:B60,DATE(2009,6,8),D3:D60). Although it does work, it doesn’t feel right using it and I would prefer a formula that would return just the one cell, instead of the sum of a range of cells.

2. Excell finds "yellow_metal" in row 278, say in cell A278.
3. Excell then goes to predetermined column (programed as part of macro or VB), say "T", and returns the text contents of the cell in that column, T278 in this example.

I am looking to reference these values to a column in another part of my spreadsheet, K10-30 (for example) How do I go about getting excel to let me do this?

Select Column And Delete Row Where Data Is Duplicate
I've got this macro which works well, but I have to edit it to change the column I want to check for dupes. I don't mind doing that, but now I have to share the macro with someone who is not comfortable changing the references in the code every time they run it.

As it is it checks column G:G (7) for dupes and deletes the row. Good.
I'd like for it to do the same thing, but for whatever column the active cell is in.

I can use this:
Col = ActiveCell.Column
in place of the "7" in the With Range part
but I don't know how to replace the "G1:G".

Transpose Inconsistent Data Row Groups In Column
I have a data set in an Excel spreadsheet entered as one column of data. It is names with addresses, phone numbers, job title, etc. I want to select and transpose each person in the list so when I am done the person's name is in column A, Company name in column B and so on. The problem is the information listed is not the same for each person - so there is a different number of rows for each person. The names are in bold text though, so I need to select from one cell with bold text to the row BEFORE the next row with bold text and transpose the data for each selection. I found this forum by finding an old question here that is similar at Copy based on Bold Paste-transpose provided in that post and it produced no result.

Pick Data From A Specific Row/column (eg 10/B) Related To Active Cell
I have a spreadsheet with my Periods along row 10. e.g. C10: "1", D10: "2", E10 "3", F10: "4", G10: "5" etc. (green on the attached sheet). I have my departments along column B, e.g. B11: "Baked" B12: "Fresh" B13: "Frozen" (yellow on the attached sheet)

what I need and cannot work out is some VBA code that will populate two variables (lets call them Period & Department) when I click on one of the figures. For example if I click on cell: if I click E14: Period would have the contents of cell E10, and Department the contents of cell B14.

if i click G14: Period would have the contents of G10, and Department the contents of cell B14 again. I know how to get the click on the cell to work properly etc, and I have code to slot these variables into that works very nicely, I just can't get this bit to work!!!!

Find Data In Column Range & Return Cell Same Row But X Columns To Right
i have is 3 sheets in the same excel document. Sheet 1 is the mater sheet, which is a compilation of sheets 2 and 3, however the sheet layouts are different.

The sheets consist of a list of names and details. Sheet 1 has all the names in the list, however sheet 2 and 3 only have partial lists that are in a different order from the original list. The details listed next to the names in sheets 2 and 3 are different and hence a straight forward row copy and paste will not work.

What i need is to write a vba script that can take the name from the master list, search sheets 2 and 3 for the name and lookup the variables placed in next to the name, then update the master sheet accordingly, then continue to the next name on the master sheet and do the update again, and so on until all is updated. I have already thought about using lookup functions in excel however there is 1000 names on the list and around 60 details so it would be messy.

I want to do some kind of loop that won't error out when it cannot find "deletethisrow", but will delete the rows for each instance where it does find this string.
