Column Search & Formula

Nov 9, 2007

I import excel generated data (in form of a worksheet) from our supplier provided programs into an excel spreadsheet. My excel spreadsheet then performs an analysis using only certain data columns of the imported data.

Background:

1. Currently, my excel spreadsheet has formulas that includes the cell references of the imported data.

2. However, the suppliers' data format may change - what I mean is that another supplier program may have the required data in a different column. I use the same program for all suppliers.

3. What does not change is the heading titles of the imported data worksheet - it is basically consistent among the different supplier programs.

Question:

Is there a way to write a formula so that the formula can go to the imported worksheet and search for a specific heading title of a column, and then place the data from that column in another worksheet?

In other words, let say a specific heading title in the imported worksheet is "Total Benefit" and that it is located in column D and the data needed is in rows D2 - D60 (inclusive).

Let's say - in another worksheet, I need the data in cells D2 - D60 of the imported worksheet in cells A10 - A68.

Currently, I write the formula in A10 and copy it to A11 - A60 knowing that the needed cells of the imported data worksheet are D2 - D60. But another supplier's program may have the "Total Benefit" in column BB (and therefore the required data in cells BB2 - BB60).

Therefore, if my formula in cells A10 is Imported sheet!D2 x 100 - it will be incorrect when I import this other suppliers' data (because it has the required data located in cells BB2 - BB60).

Therefore, if the formula can search by heading title (which is constant amongst the suppliers data), it will make it easier to locate correctly the required cells.
In other words, can the formula perform a search on the Imported sheet! worksheet for the heading "Total Benefit". Once it is found, the formula then takes the data in that column - obviously, it has to match up properly - in that the A10 takes the data from D2, A11 from D3, A12 from D4....

Constraint - Cannot use VBA macros in this solution.

Formula: Search Through A Column Of Numbers

Feb 23, 2007

I would like to be able to search through a column of numbers (say A1=2, A2=4, A3=1, A4=7, A5=5, A6=2, A7=3) and for the formula to list all the possible combinations of cells that add up to a particular number, in this case we will say 7 (i.e. A4 … A1+A2+A3 … A2+A3+A6 … A2+A7 … etc.).

How To Ask Formula To Search For Multiple Values Within One Search

Mar 4, 2014

I need one formula to copy and paste the checkcard data changing it from this "CHECKCARD XXXXXX5623" to "CHECKCARD 5623", but I need one formula to look for multiple known checkcard numbers. I will have more then one typically in the bank download so I need to search and copy at least two known numbers as shown below.

I am providing the formula that I am using right now, "=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("5623",B3)),RIGHT(B3,41),"")" but it only works for one checkcard number? Also I don't really need to capture the DEBIT or CREDIT that will always be at the end, it would be redundant. If it's easier to write the formula including that data that is no problem. What I want to copy and move into an adjacent cell is in red.

Here is the source data:
Row 2 - SONIC DRIVE IN#1531 AUSTIN TXDEBIT FOR CHECKCARD XXXXXX5623 DEBIT
Row 3 - JASON'S DELI # 125 Q64 AUSTIN TXDEBIT FOR CHECKCARD XXXXXX9718 DEBIT

Search For Value In Multiple Column And Row Array And Return Value In First Column?

Dec 16, 2013

I have an array 20 Rows x 42 Columns, which contains a competition draw.

I need to search this array for a unique value and return whatever the time is in the first column on the same row as the value appears, and enter it into column C in the Womens Times sheet.

I also want to return into column D the court number from row 3.

The reason i want this automated is as teams enter / withdraw we may need to drag the games from court to court to fill gaps, so i want the Womens Times sheet to update accordingly.

I have been messing around with index and match, but cannot quite get it to return what i need.

I have attached an example ... on the sheet "Womens Times" in column A there is a list of game numbers ( #1W etc etc) indicating womens game #1 and so on. The main sheet i am using also has a seperate tab for the mens games, hence the designator of W or M on the end of the game number.

Search A Column Of Dates & Return Data From Another Column

Jun 8, 2009

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.

Use VLOOKUP Function When Column To Search Is Not Column A?

Sep 27, 2012

use the VLOOKUP function when the column I need to search is not column A?

I have a Workbook with two worksheets in it and in Sheet 1 I have 10 columns of various text and numbers. In cell A1 of sheet 2 I will fill with a certain code that appears in column E in Sheet 1. The result I would be looking for should come from Column A in Sheet 1. I thought that the following would work copied into B1 of Sheet 2 but it doesn't appear to - =VLOOKUP($A1,'Sheet 1'!E$1:$E$481,1,FALSE).

Macro To Search Column-by-Column?

Jun 3, 2012

I need to come up with a way to search Sheet1 column-by-column and within each column search cell-by-cell. The value within each cell is a string and there are empty or blank cells between data (Ending the search after 100 rows is sufficient). As the macro iterates down each column and finds a cell that contains data, I need it to copy that data and paste it in a column on Sheet2. Basically, as the macro searches column A with space between data in Sheet1, it needs to copy that data to column A with no spaces in Sheet2. This needs to repeat for 20 columns.

I am basically trying to find the first non-empty cell in a range, but I want the macro to look down columns first. In other words, I want it to look down column A, then column B, and so on. Right now I believe it is searching by rows.

With Columns("A1:D15")
.Find(what:="*", after:=.Cells(1, 1), LookIn:=xlValues).Activate
End With

how to make it search through columns then rows?

Search Column For X Or Y?

Mar 25, 2014

The end goal: to take the list of transactions provided by my bank and make a spreadsheet that adds up all the transactions for a different type.

I have already figured out that =IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("wal",B5)),C5,"") works REALLY well when searching for Walmart. I was originally using FIND instead of SEARCH but I found--through this site--that I should use SEARCH instead because FIND is case sensitive and SEARCH is not. considering I have found walmart listed 3 different ways: WALMART, Wal-Mart and WAL-MART. B is the "description" column I am searching and C is the amount column that I want to copy if it matches the search string.

I want to consider McD, Wendy's, BK and Chick-Fil-A all 1 category(column), instead of 5+ different categories.

VBA Search For Column And Add To Macro

'working for active sheet
'copy to the end of sheets collection
ActiveSheet.Copy after:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)

Restricting The Search To One Column

May 1, 2007

I am trying to get a macro that converts Japanese digits to their Roman counterparts but does it only in a specific column. My original version just selected the J column and then Cells.Replace ran just fine on just that column. I have discovered, however, that the users may make the crucial column either J or K, so I changed it to search for the header first, and then select that column. It replaces in the entire sheet, however.

Here's what I've got (I've only given you one digit replacement. The What doesn't display properly because this forum doesn't display Japanese):

Search A Column For A Given Cell.

Oct 12, 2008

I'm trying to get a formula to give a response if a given cell matches any of the values in a row. This formula does not work: B2=IF(A2=D2:D6;D1;IF(A2=E2:E6;E1;0))

Spreadsheet: see attachment. I know one solution to the problem but it cannot be the right one. B2=IF(OR(A2=D2;A2=D3;A2=D4;A2=D5;A2=D6);D1;. I'm using Excel 2007, and it must be a way to easily check one cell up against a row or column. The solution with "OR" statement will be extremely long for a long list, and many columns.
