Create Search Engine In Excel To Display Item And Corresponding Characteristics?
Mar 19, 2013
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)

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 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.

Adding a search engine like feature to a spreadsheet we have which has multifarious columns of data on it, here is a screenshot of what it looks like:

We have multiple sheets for each tutor like that picture which lists all information of their learners for reference, now I want to do a search feature on the main home page or perhaps on a dedicated "Search" page which allows us to filter out specific information out of those columns, mainly the ability to search by "Tutor" (aka sheet name), "Postcode", "Venue", "End Date", "Learner Name" and "EBS" number...

In excel, I have created a Search Engine. It searches through a bunch of data and based on 2 inputs, it spits out a result.
In other words, I have the speed in MPH of a bunch of people based on how fast they were going per second. If you input a time and speed into the search engine, it will tell you the person that was closest to this speed at the given time. So the result is the persons name and the inputs are the time and the reported MPH.
Now, suppose my search engine is in sheet one. In sheet 2, I will have bunch of reported data….a list of times and MPH of how fast I think someone was going. I want to know who I thought I was looking at. Therefore, I need all my data from sheet 2 to go into my search engine in sheet 1. I will then get a reported name that I would like to appear next to my data in sheet 2.
This would work manually inputting them one by one but I guess my question is is there a way I can get all this data to enter the search engine automoatically and still be able to spit out a result??
So basically, I want to take Time1 and MPH1 and get result 1, then take Time2 and MPH2 and get result 2…and so on and so forth, making this quick and easy.
So in my reported data worksheet, A1,A2,A3.....have times and B1,B2,B3 have MPHs.....is there a way to run these through my search as is so that I can have a name appear in C1,C2,C3....?
Now that is not the EXACT thing I created but the concept is very similar.

I have a userform for the user to use a search engine on what he needs. The following code I have written it, but it is only good if he writes exact wording of the document name. How can I twist the code to make the search look for approximate words,
The search engine will try to look in for all the titles on "Result" worksheet and copy/past it to a new sheet called "search". so when the user types in the userform "specification" for instance, it will look all titles (Specifications, specification, spec, brown color spec) that has this word in the "Result" sheet and then it will copy/paste it in the Search Sheet.
Code:
Private Sub ok_1_Click()
Dim sht As Worksheet
Set sht = Worksheets("Result")
'if no name selected
If Trim(Me.Document_box.Value) = "" Then
MsgBox "Please write a document name."
[Code] ......

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 want to be able to view only the rows containing search criteria.
For instance, if I search for the word "sandwich", I only want to view rows containing that word. How do I do that? Or... Is there a way to group the rows containing the word "sandwich" together.
I have about a thousand rows that I need to sort and distribute to different worksheets. I don't want to work through the list moving single rows or small groups of two or three at a time.

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 a worksheet and for data validation, i do have a dropdown. This is working fine.
I am now trying to create a userform. And I feel for data integrity, I should be using a listbox on the form as well.
I have found examples of different ways to load the list, so I don't think this part will be an issue. But what I cannot find, is if the worksheet row currently has a value (say it is the third item on the list), how do I show THAT on my form?
Example, say we have a list of 10 cities.
Orlando
Tampa
San Francisco
London
Athens
Paris
Chicago
Cairo
Seattle
Atlanta
My wordsheet has the rows populated with the cutomers favorite city to visit.
For John Doe (row3) in column 5 is the city "San Francisco"
When I use my nav keys, how would I "stuff" San Francicso in to the display and still have it able to select a different city?

Im using code from website: http://www.contextures.com/xlDataVal11.html
to display a combobox when I double click any cell that contains a validation list in it. I'm not great with VBA so I am having problems finding what each part of the code does. This is causing problems for another bit of code that I use to display a msgbox when certain values are selected from the list.
The MsgBox shows up great when I select an item from the validation list but does not work at all when I select the same item from the double-clicked combo box. It would be great if I could get the MsgBox to work both ways. This is the code that displays the MsgBox when target value is selected from list
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Select Case Target.AddressLocal(False, False)
Case Is = "B4", "B5", "B6", "B7", "B8", "B9", "B10", "B11", "B12"
If Target.Value = "H" Then
MsgBox "This is a pop for extra information. Savvy?", vbYesNo, "Yo!"
End If
End Select
End Sub...............

I'm having trouble trying to setup a spreadsheet for work to do production scheduling. I have a temporary thing working so far but, but there is a minor hickup with certain products.
Products A, B & C can be processed normally on their own and each occurrence is identified with its unique serial number and can be traced through the schedule. The problem is that there has to be 3 occurrences of Products E & F before they can be processed in a single batch (They're smaller and its more efficient to process them together).
I'm struggling in that I can't process 1/3 of product E (Serial no. xyz123).
I would need to be able to identify 3 of these products, batch them together and follow them through the schedule.
Plus, if there was 8 of product E to be made, I can only process the first 6 which leaves the last 2 out.

I would like to put a formula (or make a macro) for Cell F7 (and all the other cells too) in sheet "Budget Sheet" that pulls the value $100 from cell G5 from sheet "Input Sheet" by looking through columns A-F for the account ID "5111100"
Obstacles:
- I (for the most part) cannot change the format of "Budget Sheet" or "Input Sheet"
- I cannot have the formula (or macro) just look down Column F because the actual file I am working with has the pertinent account IDs scattered through columns D-F (it was exported from another program).
Notes:
- I am using Excel 2003 SP3
- If necessary, I can make the reference to "5111100 · Bonus" if that would make things simpler
- Column G will always contain the dollar amount I need.
-I've been hitting the books trying to figure out how to get array formula working on this and cannot for the life of me get it to obey when I press ctrl-shift-enter.

I am new to VBA macros and trying to create display the searched items in the TEXT boxes for e.g
I have the data in one sheet as below.
Messgae CodeProgram NameError Description
asdsasdsqwewe
w987oiuhad2343
789ARU100Praveen Code
789ujiikluiooqwe
[Code]...
i have created one text box so that user enter the data to search by giving Message code. My concern is
From the example,
If the user enter 789 in the text box, and click on te search button( On user form) then it should dynamically create displays 2 occurance in each text box.i.e if the 789 found in 1 col then it should create 4 test boxesto display Program name data and 4 text boxes to display Error Description side by side. if not text boxes if will be if we display in lables also.

Any way to use a search form I've created to delete data from the original sheet. What I'm doing here is using advanced filter to copy data from the original database onto a temporary sheet to display in this list box. I've gotten almost everything to work properly, but since this is populated by advanced filter, I don't really even know where to start on my delete button.
Code:
Private Sub Search()
Dim Criteria As Range
Dim SearchRange As Range
Dim SearchResults As Range
Set Criteria = Range("Values!Criteria")
[Code] ......
So I was thinking something like this:
Code:
Private Sub cmdDelete_Click()
lstResults.Value.delete
End Sub
But I know this won't work.

Searching a text string on Sheet 1 to see if it contains any item in a list (on Sheet 2 Column 1) and if so return the value of Sheet 2 Column 2 next to the list item found?
It's a budget problem: Sheet 1 has my downloaded Visa statements. I want to categorise all items.
Eg Any item containing the string 'safeway' is categorised as 'General expenses'. So the list on Sheet 2 has an item called 'safeway' and in the next column 'General expenses'.
And for the item on Sheet 1 'BPAYN BUPA AUSTRALIA BPAY MBF monthly' I have an item in Sheet 2 that is simply 'BUPA' with category 'Medical expenses'.

I wish to compare each item (4-8 digit alphanumeric ID) in a list in column B of worksheet 1 (Portfolio) to all of the items in column B of worksheet 3 (EssBase Cap). The data (ID) in column B of 'EssBase Cap'! is concatenated with its description so my code needs to strip off the leading zeros and everything after "-" in order to do the comparison. Once a match is found it should copy the corresponding values in 'EssBase Cap'! for that row, column D and E to 'Portfolio' Column J, and K. I have created some pseudo code and need to translate this to Excel VBA
Dim IBSPWD As String
Dim ProjectPCN As String
Dim Pos As Integer
Dim I As Integer
Dim J As Integer
For I = 3 To 'to end of range ? WHat is the code to find end of the range IE no more data?
For J = 6 'to end of range ? The nested for loop will check each item in Portfollio and compare it to each item in Essbase Cap
IBSPWD = 'EssBase Cap'!Cell(J,"B") 'fill in the string with data
Pos = InStr(1, IBSPWD, "-", vbTextCompare) 'find length of the string befor "-"...............................

The scenario is as follows:
Each row describes a physical object. Each object has several columns for various physical characteristics. Each object is in one of several numbered bins (1, 2, 3, ...). One column on the end combines the rest of the characteristics into one line {=B2&C2&D2...}
Here's what I would like to happen:
I would like one last column to be a "new bin number" for each object. If the combined characteristics column of a given object is unique in the list, I want "bin new" to not change. If the combined characteristics column of a given object is not unique, but the matching object has the same value for the original bin number as the object in question, then "bin new" again does not change. If, however, there are matching objects in other bins, I need "bin new" for that object to return the lowest "old bin" value of all of the matching objects. Consider the simple example:
mVBbUpP.png
Link: [URL] .....
From there, I can sort the list by the "new" bin column, and that would preserve the existing list, except matching objects would get bumped up to the earliest instance of that object occurring in the list. In essence, my final sorted list needs to keep the original bin groups together, except in the case of matches where the matched objects in higher bin groups get placed with their lower bin group counterparts. This "new bin" scheme is the clearest way that I see that can accomplish this.
My attempt at a solution:
xls file: binsort.xls
I thought of using arrays. For the example above, I would highlight G2 through G10 and input the following formula:
{=Min(if($E$2:$E$10=E2,$B$2:$B$10))}
and then hit ctrl+shift+enter. The issue is that the =E2 part does not iterate throughout, so it is always comparing the combined values in the 2nd row with itself, and thus returning "1" for every value in the "bin new" column. You can see this in the .xls file provided: column F is what I am trying to reproduce via the function, but column G is what I end up with instead.

I have a spreadsheet!
I have two sheets, one of which contains film names and the other contains our tag structure for our website (which is a list of tags, their keywords and the primary parent channel they live under).
What I am trying to do is search the film titles and if any of the words match either the tag name or keywords then return the relevant channel.
Example:
Sheet 1 - Films
How To Apply Bridal Makeup
How To Fight A Donkey
How To Write Excel Formulae
Sheet 2 - Tags
Channel / Tag / Keywords
Tech - Microsoft - windows vista xp word excel
Tech - Computers - internet pc
Tech - MP3 Players - iPod Zune
So, for film 3 on Sheet 1 it would recognise the word Excel in the keyword list and return the channel Tech.

I have a spreadsheet that has a top row of weeks ranging from 1/1/2012 to 1/1/2015
I am making a pivot table to show a sum of each column by user (in column A of the source). My problem is this, I need to show the dates and there related values in the top row of the pivot table, and the users as the rows. My problem is two fold - how to display dates across the top row of the pivot (only when a value exists) and then how to make sure the value is a sum rather than a count.
