I've got a list in "column A" of around 6000 lines which contains key words which I want to extract to "Column b" if It matches but it can match on more than one word .
e.g
List
Six Nations Ireland v England
FA cup Semi Final Chelsea v Liverpool @ Old Trafford
Criteria Sample
Ireland
England
Chelsea
Liverpool
Ideally I would like to extract the first Town/Country as this is where the event is held unless the @ symbol is used then it's the last Toen/Country as in the FA cup example.
let's say there's a range of cells A3:C10. Some of the cells will have a number in them. I want to compare the numbers in that range to a fixed list of numbers, let's say 1-10. After comparing the numbers in the range with the numbers in the fixed list I want excel to list the numbers that don't match. In other words if the range contains 3,7,8,9, I would want to return 1,2,4,5,6,10 as the answer either in one cell or a group of cells. I know this can be done, just can't do it in an elegant way. I would have to use a lot of steps when I'm sure there's a few simple lines of code.
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)
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 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 would like to be able to compare the "standards" in Column A with the Assessment status in Column B and the Assessment period in Column C in order to generate a compact list in another workbook (ideally) or tab (if not). A list might typically contain all the standards that have been M (mastered) during a given Assessment period. I realize that filters would achieve this to a large extent but I was hoping to automatically populate another worksheet or tab.
I am constantly given the task of comparing to list of names that come from different sources. One source(SourceA) provides the names in a two Cols as first name and last name. Luckily Source A usually just has first and last name list but sometimes they have a third name or middle initial included and it could be in the first Col or the second no real pattern. The second source(SourceB) provides their list as a single Col and it has every given name for the person including suffixes and prefixes. A couple of examples of Source B names would be-"John Henry David" or "Dr. Billy Bob Adams Barone Beard IV".
I have spent countless hours and days probably weeks on some list as there are anywhere between 20-50,000 names per list I am sent. I am hoping there is a better solution to compare these names. As of right now the only thing I can do right now is manually trim the data from SourceB down to a format like "John David" and "Billy Beard" and then combining the Cols from Source A into the same format and then comparing them.
I have a list of authors for about 20 papers. These Papers are listed in sequential order from 1999 to 2005.
I want to track the number of similar authors from paper to paper. Thus I am attempting to create a macros that has the Papers listed sequentially when they were published and the authors for each paper, with the authors name in each cell. I want to create a macros that will compare the Author Cells associated to lets say the Fifth Paper with the Author Cells for the Fourth Paper (the Previous Paper). So that if certain authors come up in the Fifth Paper that were in the Fourth Paper, the # will be noted.
I also want this macros to compare all the Author Cells that have appeared in the past with that of the author cells of the (N) paper excluding the (N-1) Paper, and just note the # of occurences. So using the previous example. If we are talking about the Fifth Paper, it will look through Papers #1-#3 for any matching keywords and note the number.
I have attached my spreadsheet to make it more clearer. For some papers there are more than 20 authors as well just to note.
My problem is this: I'm looking to compare a single postal code (in the left most column below) against an entire list (rightmost column) and see if there are any matches. Normally this would be very easy, except that the postal code list I have (on the right) is all partials (it only includes the first 4 characters of the postal code). I need the formula to register a match if thewhole postal code I'm testing has the incomplete postal code I'm testing for in it at all.
So far I've tried using VLOOKUP, MATCH, and IF with no luck. I don't think wildcards work in these functions... (otherwise this would be quite easy!)
POSTAL CODE LIST TO CHECK AGAINST SM6 0PH AB31 AB107JR AB32
I have our company telephone accounts and im trying to highlight any numbers that are not on our approved dialling list. What I would like to happen (ideally) would be for a formula to look at the cell next to it and compare it with the approved numbers list, if it doesn’t appear on the list then it would do something to let me know, like put a big red X in the cell (if it could make me a cup of Tea instead that would be better).
I am trying to make a Macro that will search through a folder on my PC and look for file names with a string such as shown below:
The issue i am facing is that many of the files have duplicates.
I need it to check to see if the number of duplicates in Column E for each file name have the same amount of duplicate files in the actual folder... and if they don't I need the rows(s) highlighted Yellow.
Example: Say I run this macro.. and there are only 2 files in the folder that start with "BH1003".. as there is 3 instances in column E.. the 3 rows that have "BH1003" in them should all highlight..
I have added my code so far below also, but it only highlights each row Yellow if it finds an instance of the string in column E.. I don't know how to get it to count and compare....
Code:
Private Sub CommandButton3_Click() 'Search Folder for files - Highlight Yellow if Exists - Highlight Red if NOT Exists. Dim r As Long, lastRow As Long With ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet 'get last row
Usually it's to count for one unique word in a cell. But what if I have 2 or more unique word in a cell and need to be counted for?
for example 10827Holiday Decorations & Party Supplyholiday decoration supply10827Holiday Decorations & Party Supplyseasonal decorative this category has 5 unique words in the synonym list
11044Facial massagerfacial11044Facial massagerbeauty care product11044Facial massagerbeauty appliance11044Facial massagerbeauty11044Facial massagerbeauty care11044Facial massagerbeauty product11044Facial massagerfacial appliance this category has only 5 unique words although the synonym list is much longer.
A friend of mine is playing a computer game, and he has to create 50 different potions to obtain her next goal. She would like to know if it's possible with excel to generate a list of potions based on 7 different elements. Here are the 7 elements : Black orchid, Cactus, Lotus, Pitcher plant, Rose, Tiger lily
Every elements could be repeated to generate one potion.
Therefore, the following combinations are valid :
Cactus - Cactus - Cactus Cactus - Rose - Cactus Cactus - Cactus - Rose Cactus - Rose- Rose
As long as there are no more than 3 elements, it's ok. I'm not looking for the precise coding, I just need to be pushed in the right direction...
I'm trying to make a game where from a choice of 16 words the contestant has to choose four of those words that, when another word is placed before or after each word it makes a phrase.
e.g From this list of 16 words albert bell
[Code]....
choosing bell, bottle, print, stocking can all have BLUE placed before them to make bluebottle, blueprint etc. That would be the correct answer. Choosing their four words would be from a drop down list of all 16 words, separate cell for each list options/chosen answer. bell bottle printstockingCORRECT
There would be 4 rows in total for 4 different answers to be made from the 16 words on offer. I have tried everything to get it to work in the 5th cell but it's difficult.
I have a big list of words (raw materials). Can I for example use column1 in which if i type one letter a list of words that begin with this letter to come out so i can choose one.
Or I have for example:
Label 1 Label 2 Label 3
And when i type L in cell A1 list of them to be shown and I can choose one.
it is possible to have a drop down list (Cell A1) where you can type in the first few letters of a word and have the drop down list go to the the words that begin with those first few letters (searching in column 10) instead of having to scroll down the entire list to find the word / item you are looking for.
I ask since the drop down list may end up having up to 1000 words in it.
Im hoping there is an Excel Formula (not VBA Code) solution to this problem.
I understand how to use the Substitute command in Excel, but I would like to be able to provide a list of words and have the Substitute command use that list to replace every occurrence within a given cell with a blank ("").
The twist to this is, that the List of Words will be Dynamic, and thus the formula will need to account for that.
NOTE: the formula should NOT replace parts of words, e.g., if the List Word is "can" and the cell to be evaluated contains "candle" the formula should NOT replace the "can" in "candle" with "". Only whole word matches should be replaced.
I have a column of text strings on Sheet1, Column A, which I need to check for the presence of keywords listed on Sheet2, Column A
So if any word from the keyword list on Sheet2, Column A is found in, say, cell A2 of Sheet1, the cell to its right (B1) should have a formula to display the count of keywords found in A2. I also would like to see each keyword identified either through a highlight or a list. I need the formula to NOT be case sensitive and the match does not have to be for whole words).
I have a spreadsheet of part #'s, descriptions, manufacturer names, and manufacturer part #'s. (It's a list of the inventory in my warehouse). Each row contains information for just the item in that row. Row 2 references another part in my warehouse, row 3 yet another, and so on.
Many of the parts have more than one potential manufacturer and part #, (meaning that any of those manufacturer's part #'s are basically the same tool; just different brands. At one time we may get a shipment of one, at other times we may get a shipment of another). For example, a screwdriver may be listed like this:
Part # 1234 screwdriver, mfg Snap-On, part # 456, mfg Stanley, part # 789, mfg Mac Tool, part # 439.
Then further down the list, there may be another part listed like this:
Part # 9980 wrench, mfg Stanley, part #741, mfg Snap-On, part # 852, mfg Proto, part # 369.
If you can imagine that data across the cells of a spreadsheet row, notice how the mfg name 'Snap-On' was the first mfg name on the screwdriver, but it was listed as the 2nd mfg name on the wrench.
So, here's my question: I want to be able to group all of the items made by any one manufacturer together in a new list. If all of the manufacturer names were in the same column, I could simply sort the list by that column, but since I've got thousands of rows with the mfg name I'm looking for in different columns on different rows, I thought maybe a macro could search each row for the word I'm looking for, then if found, take the whole row and copy it to a new worksheet. So the end result would be, If I wanted to see all items of which Snap-On is an acceptable supplier, I could get a list of all potential Snap-On items grouped together.
I'm sorry this is so long. I may have over-worded this and it may not be too clear. I could email an example of the spreadsheet if anyone needed more info to figure out what I'm looking for and was willing to take a look at it.
2. Once the entire list is broken down into its many parts, use the pivot table feature of excel to determine how common each of the parts is within the entire data set.
So, my questions are these:
1. Do you believe this is the best way to solve my problem? If not, what would be the preferred method? 2. If this is the best method, what function or script would I use to accomplish the first step of breaking down the lines into their individual parts?

Is it possible to have a formula that generate a Unique list (List 1 and List 2) of Missing values in List 2 by comparing two lists? Something like this
List 1 List 2 Missing in List 2 1 1 3 3 4 6 5 5 6 6
I have two lists, one that is 99,000 lines and the other is 150. I am trying to find out where the word(s) in the list of 150 is present in the list 99,000.
1st list of 99,000 is in Sheet1 A1-A99000 and the second list is in Sheet2 B1-B150.
The caveat is that in column A there is additional words in that cell so you can not do a simple vlookup, because there may or may not be an exact match.
I have been stuck for hours and the best i can get is to use the match function but it is not working because it is not exact. Last thing i want to do is use the CTRL F key to lookup all the words.
I am small trader and working on small excel sheet ... in that excel sheet I've 1500 names of stocks...I want to pair each and every stock with each other...on next column for E.g.:
I'm trying to write some code that will make excel examine a particular range, determine if there is text in each cell, and if there is replace it with different text.
i need to look for two words along a range along a row. i need to know if only one of the words is found or if both are found. ie if apples or oranges or both are found in a range along one row.
column A has text column B needs a Formula that returns specific value(s) ie. want to find any of 17 specific strings within a row in column A and return that (those) string value(s) in column B
for example row1 column A contains the following: Troubleshooter Notes: Sound KVSND Tree was not used as doc exists that covered the specific issue
The formula in column B needs to be able to find any of the following values (note: these values could be placed in a lookup table): "KVBAT" "KVBLTH" "KVDNW" "KVDOC" "KVDWB" "KVFLSH" "KVKBD" "KVLAN" "KVODD" "KVOTH" "KVPFS" "KVRCVY" "KVSB2" "KVSFT" "KVSND" "KVVID" "KVWFI"
and place the found value(s) in row 1 column B
in the above example column B would return the value:.............
Why doesn't the IS operator return True when comparing Target to a range in VB when they are indeed the same? Why do we have to keep backing in via rng.Address = Target.Address or Not Intersect() Is Nothing?
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range) **** ****'_____Works_____ ****If Target.Address = "$B$2" Then ********Application.StatusBar = "To Be" ****Else ********Application.StatusBar = "Not to be" ****End If **** ****'_____This fails_____ ****If Target Is Range("A1") Then ********Application.StatusBar = "A1 sauce anyone?" ******** ****'____But this works_____ ****ElseIf Not Intersect(Target, Range("A1")) Is Nothing Then ********Application.StatusBar = "¿Alguien quiere salsa A1?" ****End If
End Sub
Again - this is just me wondering why... Am I missing something terribly obvious here?
(Edit) I am guessing it has to do with the Target argument for SelectionChange() coming in ByVal instead of ByRef, but not sure... (End Edit)
