Comparing One Postal Code With A List
Sep 9, 2013
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

I am trying to Write a function that would add all the postal codes that contains a certain value. Overall I want the function to return the number of postsal codes that contains lets say L3T. the problem is that my postal codes are formated like L3T 6X5 - L4V 4X9 , etc. i need excel to only consider the 3 first digits/letters and return me the sum of all the L3T, L4V etc

I can't find a custom format to validate a properly formatted Canadian postal code on entry, so I think my last hope is to ask someone to write me a VBA code.
Canadian postal codes consist of six characters with a space in the middle: a capital letter, a number, a capital letter, a space, a number, a capital letter, and a number.
Therefore, M2A 3J4 is a properly formated postal code.
I want a code to fix an improperly fomatted postal code (such as M2A3J4 or m2a3j4 or m3a 2j4) on entry.

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 trying to simplify the manipulation of data to create a full postal address from a range of cells.
Due to the varied way in which postal addresses are made up, I have found it necessary to create a 2nd Worksheet, which uses helper columns to ensure that spaces and commas appear in the right places.
I recently came across some code on this site from JBeaucaire which I have tried out but in my particular workbook, the commas and spaces do not come out correctly.
The enclosed sample workbook contains a selection of addresses which should cover most of the variations for addresses in the way that they are entered in my main workbook.
Sheet1 (Master) is the main data.
Sheet2 shows the formulas that I have used to create a full postal address.
Sheet3 makes use of a VBA Module and shows the results.
I felt that VBA code is the right way to go but I'm unable to modify the code to make it work or come up with an alternative VBA solution.

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.

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 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

How would I go about making this new column on page 1 of my workbook which takes all the area codes I have and makes a brand new list of the states by looking up the area code/state table I have on page 2 of the workbook?

I have a Macro that I have recorded that autosorts several columns for me. This works fine as I have 5 columns that need to be sorted in a particular way.
The problem is that I have a custom list which I stored using the: Tools>Options>Custom List tab. Now this works fine on my pc as I have the custom list stored on my PC.however the problem is when someone else uses it on their PC it may no longer work as they won't have my custom list stored on their PCs.
Is there a way to store the custom list in a Macro and then use that list to sort to the criteria needed. For example "One, Two, Three, Four" will not store in alphabetically, so hope would I be able to sort so that they would appear in a chronological manner? Below is the code for the Macro I recorded. As you can see one of the lines says "OrderCustom:=6"; this I am assuming is reading from the list I created.

I need to create a table with the top 14 'ReNo' for each code listed in columns F1-R1. These need to be in chronological order. Also if the code is part of the latest date then that first ReNo. needs to be ignored (since it will not have completed its cycle).
getting to the formula I have but I can't get it to sort in these ways, so as it is its not working right.

Suppose I have a list of data in which I want to retrieve or extract specific row from the list as per operator name & relative comments (Done or Not Done) from the given list as per the operator name, now what I want that my VBA code should be able to get the operator name & the relative comment data from the list according to the operator name in a new sheet. My data keeps changing so I need a code which can work on any size of the data. I need to retrieve only operator name & Comment column in a new sheet to run my Pivot table.
My Excel data is something like in the attachment & the result I want through VBA Code.

I want to create a simple worksheet that takes a list of names (All of the members of my family) and Randomly selects another name from that same list and matches them to it ( I don't want to say "paired" because I want each person to have a one way relationship to the other, in other words just because personA is matched to personB, i don't want personB to automatically be paired to personA) I hope that makes sense. Once every name on the list is matched with a person I would like to move that name to a database that I can track each year. The practical application of it is this: Each year our family randomly draws names and we are tasked to buy a new x-mas ornimate for that person, ideally you would not get the same person 2 years in a row, and the person that you have does not have you in return simply to add more variety and the database would track who had who each year.
Code:
Sub test()
Dim a, i As Long, temp, n As Long
a = Range("b2", Range("b" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
Randomize
With CreateObject("System.Collections.SortedList")
For i = 1 To UBound(a, 1)

I'm looking for click event code for a list box called lbActiveItemList that finds a match for the selected record in Column 1, to the Sheet ReturnData in Column A from row 6 on (using the G column to find the last row). Upon finding a match it should close the userform, and make the G cell for the matching record the Active Cell.

I have a spreadsheet that contains multiple rows per user. I need a combo or list box that pops up asking them to select their name from the drop down list. The list would be based on column A and would only include their name once.
When they select their name, the macro would then open the Form option from the Data menu, the Criteria button would be pushed and their name entered into the form, to return the first record their name appears on, then they could forward through the records, and update using the Next record button.

I have a workbook with two worksheets:
Input
Entitlment
On workbook called "Input" range A2 downwards are a series of staff names, non unique
When I select the worksheet called "Entitlement" I would like on this sheet range A2 downwards to list staff names in alphabetical order but only unique occurances of a persons name.
eg if on sheet "Input" cell A2="darrenS", A3="darrenS", A4="EdwardG", A5="EdwardH"
upon selecting "Entitlement" sheet
A2 would show "darrenS"
A3 would show "EdwardG"
A4 would show "EdwardH"
I user will then have to enter a number relating to number of accounts in ColumnB
should a name already have an existing number next to it then when the worksheet "Entitlment" is selected again the number will reamin associated to the name. When sorting occurs !

I have a drop down list full of options for my user to choose. 3 of those options I have message box codes built so that if they are selected, the message box will pop up. However, the first one in the code makes the user click the "ok" box 3 times before it goes away, the second one makes them click 2 times, and the third they just have to click once. to make it where they only need to click "OK" once on each of those?
Here is the
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim rngIntersect As Range
Dim rngCell As Range
Dim sMsg As String
Set rngIntersect = Intersect(Target, Range("j24:j31"))
If Not rngIntersect Is Nothing Then
For Each rngCell In rngIntersect
If CStr(rngCell.Value) = "E Checking - 105" Then
sMsg = "Please have customer complete E-Statement Application for E Checking - 105 accounts"
Exit For
