Data Search/Find

Jan 10, 2008

i have is that at current i have a load of data (6000 cells worth)

What i need to do is to go through the data and highlight anywhere where it may have the word "in/outsourcing" (The data is based in cell AA which is just a description of text)

Other than doing Ctrl F through each cell is there a faster way in which excel can search through the cells and even highlighting the cell where the word occurs.

I thought if the word "sourc" is searched this would then pick up both

Find / Search Data And Show All Worksheet Locations

Mar 29, 2012

I have two worksheets that Data might be present,

Holdtickets and "another sheet"

Here is my code:

Code:
Dim i As Long
Dim LastRow As Long
Dim wsEachSheet As Worksheet
Const strDestSheetName As String = "Hold Tickets"
Const strDestSheetName2 As String = "Enter Order"

[Code] ........

I don't want to show the location as being the worksheet "Hold Tickets" so i had to remove it from the search, But the data is still important

I need a macro code that will locate the data in "another sheet" and return the values from there, but if it is also present in the worksheet "Hold tickets" then

This part of the code will need to look like this:

Code:
Sheet1.Range("B7").Value = wsEachSheet.Name & "Hold Tickets"

Search To Find Matching Cells And Copy/transpose Adjacent Data To Original Sheet?

Nov 12, 2009

I'm trying to find a way to search a second sheet in a workbook for specific criteria outlined in a first sheet (in my attached example, from A3 downwards within the 'list of search criteria' sheet), and then to copy any secondary data found against a successful search match to the original sheet, transposed against its corresponding matched search term.

As you can see in the example, the search term 'bindi' (A4 in the 'list of search criteria' sheet) appears in the 'data' sheet 3 times - the secondary data for these occurences ('feathery', 'Fibonacci', 'glassy') is copied to the 'bindi' row on the first sheet and is offset with each copy to produce a transposed-esque effect of copy and paste.

If it's any help, there are a maximum of 9 matches for a single search term in the real document.

Thanks in advance for your help... I tried to adapt a previous solution given to me for a similar question but failed miserably. I bow humbly to your expertise!

Find/Search Function Within A Sheet

Nov 5, 2009

I have a number of worksheets with data in various rows, all rows of data have UID's. I want to create a search function, which returns the location of the of the UID. Or better still the cursor will jump to the cell where the UID is located. It's very much like the way the 'Find & Replace' function works.

E.g. If I type the UID of 1234 into cell A1 I want to be able to press a 'Find' button (which will be located alongside cell A1) that will search the entire workbook for 1234.

Search Code To Find The Last Formula Used

Jan 25, 2007

Code such as the one below carries formulas in columns 3 and 10 down to new rows when inserted. However, I need to allow a user to overwrite the formula in col 3 with any text value. But if the user overwrites the formula on the last row, and then manually enters a new record below, then the code in the last row of col 3 does not get copied down. Is there a way to search upward in columns 3 and 10 until reaching the last cells with formulas, and apply the formulas to the new cells in cols 3 and 10 on the new row? Or, is there a way to store the formulas:

=IF(A21<>"",B21,"") in column 3
=IF(B21<>0,IF(C21<>B21,A21&", "&LEFT(C21,2),A21&", "&LEFT(B21,1)),"") in column 10

Storing these somehow would be good if the user overwrites the formulas in the very top row of data (row 2).

If Intersect(Target, Me.Range("A:A")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
On Error Goto CleanUp:
With Target
If .Value <> "" Then
Application.EnableEvents = False
.Offset(0, 3).FormulaR1C1 = "=RC[-1]=R2C3"
.Offset(0, 10).FormulaR1C1 = "=RC[-1]=R2C10"
End If
End With
CleanUp:
Application.EnableEvents = True

Find Text In Cell (search Whole Table)

I am having a littler trouble with using a function to find text (last name) in a table and then return full name from the table. See attached sheet with example of what I am looking for.

A quick explanation:

Have a table with columns that have team and name of player. My input is the last name of the player and the team. Need a fomula that searches all the table and then returns the full name of player based on 2 conditions of last name and team.

Limit The Search Range In FIND() Function

Dec 2, 2009

I am currently using the simple code block below to jump to a cell on another sheet based on a user-inputted value to a cell on the current sheet. Although jump is too strong a word at the moment...walk slowly might be more appropriate.

The problem is that the sheet that contains the target cell hosts a very sizable used range and the FIND function can sometimes take almost a minute before finding and focussing on the required cell.

While I do not believe that a search range below that of sheet level for the FIND() function is possible, the cell that I am looking to jump to resides in a one-column, sorted, dynamic named range (=Bookings!JobID) on the target sheet, so I am sure that it must be possible to find and go the target cell in a much quicker timeframe than that being delivered at the moment. Just can't find something suitable at the moment.

Find Column Character Search Result

Jun 9, 2009

I'd like to search for text and get the column character where the cell with the found text. The combination the two 'demands'/formulae into one are giving me problems. And the fact that the column character can exist out of two characters I cannot solve.

I can get the column number with HLookup right? and it gives me the column number, not the character. I can solve this partially (and ugly even more) with =Char(((Hlookup etc)+64 (letter before A))).

Create Find Box Into Which Search String Inputs

Nov 9, 2011

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.

Find To Search And Return Multiple Dates

Jul 31, 2007

I am working with a macro into which you input a date, the macro searches for that date (in column D of the data sheet), then copies any row with that date onto a new sheet.

This works great, but now I need to be able to search for more than one date at a time and return any rows that cantain ANY of those dates. For example, I would want to search for any row containing 01/01/07 - 01/07/07 or any row containing 01/01/07, 01/02/07, 01/03/07...01/07/07.

Unable To Search/find ' Single Apostrophe

Jun 26, 2006

I imported the data from someone. And the cell in the column comes with the single quote'infront of the cell value. For example, the value that you see in the cell is "920-F-Y", but if Click on that cell, it turns out to be '920-F-Y, there's a single quote infront of it. I can't do a replace all on that single quote to empty space for some reason. Might just be my excel, or there's just something wrong. The problem is, I have 2 sources of data. I imported the first one, it has the single quote infront of it, i imported the second one, it has no single quote infront of it. I want to do a comparison, but I can't because it's different by single quote.

You can open my attachment, and try to replace that ' (single quote) with a space, and excel will complaint that it can't find it. I could go through each one and delete it individually, but consider that there are 5000 cells, it's just a lot of work.

Find Method To Search Time/Date

Aug 26, 2006

I am currently working on a VBA function that searches a spreadsheet for a particular time and date. In the time and date column, there exists a cell for every hour of the year from January 1st 12am to December 31st 11:00pm. So for any given date, there are 24 entires with the same date, but each with a different time (that is the intervals are in one hour increments.)

What I have been attempting to put together is a simple worksheet. Find method to search for a date, I.E. 1/22/2006 3:00:00 AM. I have read countless posts and websites saying that you must format the date and time into a window date format such as 1/22/2006, but you lose that time constraint. Well if I search for that in my spreadsheet, i have 24 cells that meet that criteria. Anywhere from 12AM to 11PM. But I may want the one for 11PM... Also, since find searches from top to bottom, I always retrieve 12AM since its the first hour of the day. I apologize for my wordiness, but It is kind of a complicated matter.
