Create a search engine in vba for a worksheet, a macro to be assigned to a button. The 'search engine' to that 'Find button' that I have in mind is on these parameters:
- search any result, complete or partial, non-case sensitive;
- the text to search is typed in B2;
- after the text to search is typed, it only works by pressing that 'Find button';
- it only searches column D in the current worksheet;
- tells the total number of matches found in C2;
- when that Find button is clicked, it goes automatically to the first result found and stops;
- if that Find button is clicked again then it goes to the next found match and stops, and so on;
- when it reaches the end of the document, it just restarts to search from the beginning;
- if there are no matches, it just makes a sound and does nothing; and types zero (0) in C2.
Im am trying to create a search marco button that allows me to search in multiple worksheets in one work book. I came across this CODE the first part of it works. It pops open user input box and ask for the word that i would like to search but the this error message pops up Runtime error1004 Method 'range" of object'_Global'failed and i dont know what to do
Private Sub SearchButton_Click() SearchString = InputBox("Enter Search String", "Search") If SearchString = "" Then Exit Sub For Each c In Range(myRange) If InStr(LCase(CStr(c)), LCase(SearchString)) Then
I have a large table with data, and I would like to have a box at the top, and when some types the name of city, then all records that have the city will come up. how to do it.
create macro for the below scenario I need to search whether "Sep-13" folder is available in my desktop. If folder is there then i need to open the folder else i need to creat a folder in the name "Sep-13" and open the folder.
Need to create (or teach me how to create) a search function that could extract data and display the results with ALL possible answers (or all lines that contain that word), much like a search engine would. I have enclosed a file as an example of what I mean.
I basically need a formula in one tab of a spreadsheet that if another cell contains text it will search for that text in another tab and display a useable hyperlink to it.
So I want a formula in A1 in Sheet1 that will search for the text contained in A2 in Sheet2 and display a useable hyperlink to the cell in which that text is contained, in Sheet2.
This may not even be possible, but if it is then that would save me SO much time.
Attached is my excel worksheet I have created for a tracking/billing system for numerous schools. How I can create a search form?
For example, I want to find all of the kids in 5th grade that had to be referred throughout the whole document. Or I want to find a certain name to see if they have been paid but I do not know the location.
I've created a spreadsheet containing 200+ entries for my companies suppliers. These include their name/code, contact emails and contact number. This list is far more easily accessible as it saves the user having to bring up the suppliers details within our own bespoke software. However what seemed like a nifty spreadsheet has quickly turned into a giant mush of details with no way to quickly find the one you want without scrolling down to the one you want.create a function/tool that can allow me to type the contact name in cell "X" and have Excel take me to the suppliers line in the table?
I have created a userform which searches from the data using the value that i put in text box.
E.g. if i put student i.d in textbox1 all other textbox show me the data like name contact detail etc.
But I want one more criteria. i want to add one more textbox to search for e.g either i put student i.d or locker no whereas right now i can only put student ID.
I am using excel 2007 for database of a large e-commerce site. I am creating search-able attributes from keywords found in description, title and meta-data columns.
I am using the following function in "column X" to search 4 columns (see formula) for specific music styles.
I'm trying to add code that create a hyperlink to a file in a recently created folder in the path of L:Elec Dept ProjectsRELEASED FOR CONSTRUCTION". The code below should find the newly created *BOM*.xls created and created a hyperlink in the next available row starting on row 27 and column O on my worksheet "BOM". The code currently runs with no errors, but I'm not seeing any resulting text with path / links created.
1) In the Products worksheet, every column has data about the books' description like:
A | B | C | D | E Serial | Desc. | Author | Pubd. | year
Column A contains serial no. of the books, ordered from 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 to .....so on...
Columns B,C,D and E, have other details of the books.
2) In the Buyers worksheet, there are two columns;
A | B Serial | Buyer Info
These are the details people who bought the particular book order by the serial no. of the book purchased.
Required
I need to make a new column in the first worksheet i.e. Product, say F, which I want to read all the buyers' info of that purchase the book with that serial no. and concatenate them together in the same cell separated by a comma.
I need the code to create a find box into which a search string is input. The code should find the string at a particular cell, then copies this cell and four cells to the right to a location in sheet 2 of the same workbook
The code runs but comes back with a runtime 424 error. I believe the issue is being caused by "nextCell" but I cant see why.
Sub FindStrings() Dim firstCell, nextCell, stringToFind As String ' Show an input box and return the entry to a variable. stringToFind = _ Application.InputBox("Enter J Number and Stage Number. For Example J1234 ST1", "Search String") ' Set an object variable to evaluate the Find command.
I have a worksheet with simple titles of books in a single colum, but want to create a user interface that is like a search engine to show titles.
Just a simple search window and search button. If I have a book named Mother Goose, and the user types in Mother, the search will show every title with that word in it. I have tried to do the advanced lookup I found here but I think I am not excel oriented enough to understand how to use it nor do I think it would do what I am looking for.
I have a list of file names sans extension in column A. I want to search a folder I specify and if file is found create a hyperlink to said file either in a new cell or in column A.
The code I have does the search fine, but its hyperlinking is offset and I can’t get it to match the link to the file name.
Every new file I create is named with a sequential reference based on some criteria:
PackageName_(Place+SequentialNumber).
So, in my worksheet I have several columns with package names: LABK, LAVO, LACR… and on the rows I have the file names.
I have this UserForm I created Search.JPG
Basically (despite I imagine it’s not that simple), when I type the package name and the place as follows, for example
Package = LABK Place = SAO
After clicking on “Generate” button, it should look for all file names containing LABK and SAO, verify what the last sequential number is (highest/MAX) and generate a new one in the text box below the button.So, if the last file name is LABK_(SAO005), it’ll generate a new one as LABK_(SAO006).
I have a workbook with many, many worksheets. On each worksheet there is a column called "Cost Code". I need a Macro to locate all like "Cost Code" values and extract data from several cells along that row. Macro would then tally the values from all those like cells on numerous worksheets and place sum on a seperate worksheet in the same workbook, on a "Totals" worksheet page.
For instance -The "Cost Code" value Macro to look for is 1000. This value is located on several worksheets. For every instance of "Cost Code" 1000 Macro is to find value of "Material Costs" in that row (always column M) and value of "Labor Hours" in that row (always column P). Macro would tally all "Material Costs" for "Cost Code" 1000 and put that sum on a "Totals" worksheet page in a specified cell. Macro would do the same for all "Labor Hours" for "Cost Code" 1000.
I'm trying to add buttons to an excel spreadsheet at runtime. Each row in the spreadsheet should have its own buttons. I was able to create and edit them with the ActiveSheet. OLEObjects.Add() function, but after that, when i was trying to create code dynamically to react on the buttons' click events excel crashes (actually it works for one button, but not if my routine for adding a new button and event code is called more than once in a row!)
The code below works if the AddCmdbuttonWithCode() is called once, but crashes if it is called two or more times. Excel tries to restore the document after the crash and the first button and its corresponding click event code is visible and works... but NOT the second button and its event code...
The only way I can create multiple buttons right now is by calling my method once per click, opening the vba editor, changing the parameters for my AddCmdbuttonWithCode() routine and execute it again. After that I have mutliple buttons in different lines which all work fine (so the concept seems to work).
The problem seems to be the insertLine method, since everything seems to work if i leave it out (except for the code generation of course, since this is done by this part of the code :-) ). Is it possible that calling the insertLine Method can't be called multiple times? I don't know... any ideas? Feel free to test my code - it's small, easy to understand and has comments.
'this code calls the method which creates the buttons in specific cells with specific names Private Sub CommandButton3_Click() 'the first call always works! AddCmdbuttonWithCode "Edit_111_111_114", 23
'the second one crashes excel AddCmdbuttonWithCode "Edit_111_111_115", 27 End Sub
how I can build a search engine. I have attached a file with an idea about how I would like it. What I would like to have is a sheet with a search button. If the correct number is putted in this file the corresponding data should appear in the same sheet. I do not know how to make this at all!!
This is just a small file but if i know how to build it, it would concern a much bigger file and maybe even some graphs (if that is possible)
I have an excel file with a large amount of employee data in it and want to create a search facility that will run on variable search functions and display the information on the screen
I want to be able to enter variable search functions as follows:
Employee Number; shows all information on employee Division: shows all employees in division (possible from a list of all divisions) Appraisal Eligibility : Applicable shows all the applicable employees Job Role: shows all the employees with the same job role (possibly from a drop-list of all roles)
I know its easier in Access, but all records in Excel as a legacy and don't have time to create an access database currently.
I am trying to create a combobox to filter a set of data by the month that is entered.
The below code worked fine when there was just the month entered, but now all the entries in the sheet are in the format 01 January 2009. So I need a section of code which will search for the combobox value as part of a string in my range.
I want to create a user defined function to search a column of data for a part number.
If it exists I want to have a the UDf returna "fail" otherwise "pass"
Here is the code I was trying to use
Function firstpass(SN As String) As String ws = Worksheets("Defects") c = "" With ws.Range("a1:a9999") Set c = .Find(SN, LookIn:=xlValues, lookat:=xlWhole) End With If Not c Is Nothing Then firstpass = "Pass" Else firstpass = "Fail" End If
End Function
This function only returns a "#value" and I don't quite know how to troubleshoot it.
code for a button that will search for a particular date that below 6 months from the current date today? Just like a notification that there is a date below 6 months from now. I will put this code where already have a code for my workbook.
I have a spread sheet with 2 columns of data. On the top of the sheet, I want to include a Search Button that when it is clicked, a box pops up and asks to Enter Search Term, when they click ok it operates a the find function in excel.Macro I should create and apply to the button
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() Dim strFirstAddress As String With Sheet1.UsedRange Set rngFind = . Find(ComboBox1.Text, LookIn:=xlValues) If Not rngFind Is Nothing Then strFirstAddress = rngFind.Address Do rngFind.EntireRow.Copy sheet3. Range("a" & sheet3.Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0) Set rngFind = .FindNext(rngFind) Loop While Not rngFind Is Nothing And rngFind.Address <> strFirstAddress End If End With Unload UserForm2 UserForm4.Show End Sub
The problem is it searches the whole sheet, what I want it to do is only search one colomn (colomn A). I know its prob an esay thing to change but I can't for the life of me do it!
