Compare & Identify Strings In Range
Jan 12, 2008
I am having no success using either: 1) COUNTIF with wildcard (*) or 2) Case Statements to find text strings in a cell. I've even tried using Copy/Paste Special values to change the way Excel 2007 interprets the field.
The Do While loop looks at target cells in Col. 18 which contains one or more specific last names. I want to put a text string (also a name) in Col. 19 IF the target cell contains the last name in the COUNTIF or Case Statements. The COUNTIF normally puts a TRUE or FALSE based on the condition, but I'd like to put the the last name based on which condition is met and then continue looping to Row 3. It's a small number of rows, less than 100.
Here's the Case statement ...

Let's say I have a named Range for Cells from A1:A10 on Sheet2 called "List". Examples of what could be contained within this Range are: "dog", "cat", "mouse", etc.
I then have a list of data in Column A on Sheet1, and I want to know whether any of the strings contained within my named Range are contained within Column A. Examples of what could be in Column A are: "the dog jumped over the fence", "the cat ran around the table", etc.
Does anyone know a formula I can use that will identify what string from my named Range is in Column A, by means of entering that string into Column B of Sheet1?

I have a workbook called Keyword that has two columns c,and d, of words.
The length of the columns can vary,because I add words to them.
I also have a workbook called testfile, and cell B1 has a word in it.
Testfile also has an .xla module that adds in when testfile is open.
I want to type a function called asset in cell C1 of Testfile,and have
it compare each word in Keyword workbook to the word that's in cell B1
of testfile. If a match is found in column C of Keyword, the function
returns the letter C. If match is found in col D of Keyword, it returns
the letter D. If no match, function returns "no match".
I have both workbooks open and the vba code I stuck at the bottom of
the .xla module as another function.
Here's my code so far.
Function asset(Description As Variant) As String 'arg. is the word in cell B1 in testfile
Dim LastRowOfC As Integer, LastRowOfD As Integer
Dim i As Integer

I have two numbers, they are version numbers, I am having problems with my If then else and elseif statements.
59821 for version 5.9.8.2.1
is more than
5983 for version 5.9.8.3
even though 5.9.8.3 is a greater version number. Do you see where my problem is. How do I compare # by # reading it, checking to see what one is bigger and going from there. so when it gets to the 3 of the 5983 its bigger than 2 of 5982 of the 5.9.8.2.1

I'm writing quite a large electronic logging program using excel and vba and have hit a snag in one of my subs which reads from a text init file. Let's take a look at the code.
Private Sub ReadInit()
'Opens txt init file, looks for target list, splits line by commas and enters into array
Dim FileNumber As Integer
Dim TargetsRead As Boolean, LastFileRead As Boolean
Set ObjFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objFile = ObjFSO.OpenTextFile(SaveDir & Init)
TargetsRead = False
LastFileRead = False
Do Until objFile.AtEndOfStream 'do until end of file

So here I have two columns Column 1 with repetitive values of some 10000 records Column 2 with unique values of 100 records I want to compare Column 1 and Column 2, identify the values in Column 1 that match with Column 2 and highlight them. Conditional formatting for duplicate values doesnt work because Column 1 has repetitive values.

I am trying to create my own budgeting tool. I have most of the tracker set up but I hit a stumbling block. I downloaded transations from Bank of America as a CSV file into excel. I want to categorize these transactions.
I created a keyword list that has words like "Starbucks" "Exxon" etc. Each of these keywords is then listed next to a category like "food" and "gas". So I want a formula that will compare the transactions to my keyword list and return the category type. Here is an example transaction:
CHECKCARD 0256 STARBUCKS USA 00029801 GAINESVILLE VA
I have a keyword "Starbucks" in f2 and "food" in g2.

I need to do a vlookup that takes a string from one cell and then tries to find that string (embedded in a larger string) in the table array
Essentially I imagine this involves the FIND function at some point.
Attached is an incredibly simplified example of what I'm looking for.

What kind of formula I need to identify if in a given range there are only unique values?
The range (containing 12 cells) may contain only two text values: "Actual" or "Forecast".
If all values are equal to "Actual" I would like the formula to return "A".
If all values are equal to "Forecast" I would like the formula to return "F".
If there are both "Actual" and "Forecast" values found in the range I would like the formula to return "A/F".

I need to calculate a formula in a constantly changing range. In the example below, the formula in column C would yield the % change in column A between the first "P" value in column B and the minimum value prior to the next "P" value.
So, the first result would be =(A2-A1)/A1, which is (1896.3274 - 1973.4764)/1973.4764. The cells in column C would be blank until the next formula, which is =(A8-A7)/A7, then it gets tricky. The next would be =(A14-A10)/A10.
A B C
1 1973.4764 P
2 1896.3274
3 1922.5499
4 1905.2061
5 1985.6797

I am developing a macro to select cells within a worksheet based on certain criteria and to make a list of their range names. My approach is to copy the range names to a column of cells using something like the following text:
Sheets("mySheet").Range("myRange").Name.Copy
but I get an error message saying "Object doesn't support this property or method". Why can't I copy a range name, and is there a way to work around this?

Is there an easy way to identify range or cell addresses in a formula. I want to find the alphanumeric part of the address.
For example in the SUM Formula =Sum(A4:A230), I wish to separate out A4:A230 part. Or at least I want to remove the number part in the address and just want to get Sum(A:A).
Is there a function that can do this? I don't want to do this using usual string/text operations as it becomes a laborious process and has to consider all possible cases of range addresses.

I'm trying to create a list of missing numbers in a range, but I can't fiure out how to do it. The problem lies in that the range of numbers is in the middle of a larger number. ie. xxx-xx-0001-xx would be number 1, and xxx-xx-0500-xx would be number 500.
I need to scan multiple sheets containing these numbers, and produce a list of the numbers missing from that range.
Example:
Sheet1 has xxx-xx-0001-xx through xxx-xx-0009-xx, and xxx-xx-0018-xx through xxx-xx-0042-xx.
Sheet2 has xxx-xx-0053-xx through xxx-xx-0062-xx, and xxx-xx-0067-xx through xxx-xx-0072-xx.
Sheet3 needs to have a function that produces a list showing xxx-xx-0010-xx through xxx-xx-0017-xx, xxx-xx-0043-xx through xxx-xx-0052-xx, and xxx-xx-0063-xx through xxx-xx-0066-xx.
I need to be able to do this without VBA. The list doesn't necessarily have to have a different number per cell, it could even show them all on 1 cell if it's easier, but it would be more presentable if it was 1 number per cell in a row or column.

I'm looking for a way to identify the first cell of a page without using the pagebreak function: Sheet6.Range("B" & Sheet6.HPageBreaks(i).Location.Row). The reason being is for overall speed and performance as well as avoiding <out of range> errors on the last break. If I use totalPages = Sheet6.HPageBreaks.Count + 1
to determine the number of page breaks, is there a way to identify the first cell of page i in this way?

I have a list of strings as such
A1: A
A2: B
A3: D
A4: E
How can I check to see if this range is sorted with vba?
I have searched but havent found anything for strings.
I can only think of adding each cell to an array, creating a copy array, sorting the copy array and then comparing the two arrays. I want it to return TRUE, FALSE or 1, 0

I have a series of incident reports (some of which are injuries), and I'm calculating the number of incidents per body part per month using:
=SUMPRODUCT((ISNUMBER(FIND($D4,owssvr!$Q$2:$Q$2188)))*(MONTH(owssvr!$A$2:$A$2188)
=MONTH(math!F$2))*(YEAR(owssvr!$A$2:$A$ 2188)=YEAR(math!F$2)))
In which D4 is the body part (Neck, for example), owssvr is the sheet with the records being summarized and F2 contains the month being queried.
The problem I'm having is that I want to calculate data for a region of the body (head & neck), which will include count any record that has a part of that body region (nose, face, eye, tooth) mentioned in the affected area text. If I simply sum all the values calculated for each body part, records that include multiple parts (e.g. "scratched nose and eye") will be counted twice.
Can I calculate whether a range of cells for the incidents contains any of a specified range of body parts (listed in D4:D15), but do this for each month, and count each record only once (e.g. "cut nose" = 1 record, "cut nose & eye" = 1 record).

I am using the following code to search a database of information and then display it on a different sheet.
The user types the search term into a textbox and then presses a command button to search the database.
Currently it only searches for an exact match. How can i adapt it so it searches for similar strings?
Sub SearchDatabase()
Dim rRange As Range
Dim rCell As Range
Dim ResultsOffset As Integer
Dim ResultsRange As Range

if a user has selected a range, how do you, in VBA, identify the:
1. Top left cell
2. Bottom left cell
3. Top right cell
4. Bottom right cell
For example if user has selected the range B5:M30, then we would want to identify in the macro:
1. Top left cell = B5
2. Bottom left cell = B30
3. Top right cell = M5
4. Bottom right cell = M30

I am currently trying to write a macro that will search a column for different strings. These strings are inside the cell (as in it is not the only value in the cell) and then copy the entire cell over to another column, then delete the two cells to the right of the originally found cell.
Heres an example of what I want to:
There are four columns, the first has a name with both the first and last (amanda white)the second just the first name (amanda), the third just the last name(white), and the forth an organization name. if the first column contains an organzation name, it has to clear out the first name and last name columns, and copy the name column to the organization column.
NAME | FIRST | LAST| ORG|
amanda white amanda white

pizza hut pizza hut
I have a list of organization keywords to search the first column (e.g. enterprise, variety, management, pizza). I want it to recongnise the "pizza", copy that entire cell over to the organization column and delete the first name and last name for that row.I've been trying to modify a code like this but i can't seem to make anything work.

I am having a hard time creating a code that would search the exact string in a cell. See sample scenario below.
1. I have a string "hello" to be searched.
2. I will search the whole string in each cell in a previously declared range.
3. If in a cell i found "kdhlsk hellodsiewjls", although "hello" string is there,
the code should still return 0.
4. But if in a cell, i found "kjdsfel ljsdlkue hello luoeww", then the code should return 1.
I have already created a code, but it will always return 1 in step#3.
