Longest Series Of Consecutive 2 Chars In String?
Aug 23, 2014I'm looking for a formula which returns the longest consecutive series of occurrences of 2 chars in a text string.
In the case I'm trying to count the longest consecutive number of nine-spares (9/) in a bowling game.
For example:
|7/|X|9/|9/|9-|9/|9/|9/|9/|X8/|longest series of 9/ would be 4.
|9/|9-|9/|9/|7/|9-|(8)/|X|7/|9-|longest series of 9/ would be 2.
|9/|(8)1|X|X|72|63|7/|8/|8/|9/9|longest series of 9/ would be 1.
Find The Longest String Including A Variable
May 22, 2007I have a database application which appends an "A" to the sequence number each time an entry is amended and then posts it as a new row in the database. This means there can be multiple entries with the same number but with different amount of "A"'s afterwards.
e.g.
Cell A6 contains seq no 1
Cell A7 contains seq no 2 - Seq no 1 is subsequently amended so...
Cell A8 contains seq no 1A - 1A is subsequently amended so...
Cell A9 contains seq no 1AA - and so on and so forth..........
What i am trying to achieve is a formula which will look at the record number which is required (i.e. 1) and will search for record 1 with the most number of "A"'s appended. This way the user will only be amending the most up to date record.
The formula i have tried (but doesn't work) is:
=INDEX(A6:A65536,MATCH(B2&MAX(LEN(A6:A65536)),A6:A65536,1),0)
(B2 is the record the user wants to amend)
Finding A String In A Column, Displaying YES On The Same Row
Feb 16, 2007I am trying to search for a string of numbers (column 2) in an array, and have "YES" be written on the same line in column 3 if the string is found in the names ANYWHERE in column 1. Please see the desired results on the picture in column 3.
I have tried many things, including SEARCH function which can only work with 1 cell not many, COUNTIF and more advanced functions, but I think have not succeeded because of my lack of knowledge in arrays.
Find The Longest Run Of Zeros In A Column
Nov 10, 2008I have a list of dates in column A (sequential from low to high).
I have corresponding rainfall data in column S.
I am trying to find the longest run of 0's in the rainfall data and return the start and end dates. It would be great if i could tell it (in cell C8) to find the longest run below this number.
ie: i say i want to find the longest run of numbers below 5.
Extend Range To Longest Column
Aug 7, 2007I had asked about automatically naming regions and this is an extension of that post because it's closed. The code we ended up with to name the region is:
Dim sNm As String, sRT As String
If Intersect(Target, Rows(1)) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub '------------------->
If Target.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub '---------------------------------------->
sNm = Replace(Trim(Target), " ", "_")
sRT = "=offset(" _
& Target.Address _
& ", 1, 0, counta(" _
& Cells(2, Target.Column).Resize(Rows.Count - Target.Row).Address & ") )"
ThisWorkbook.Names.Add Name:=sNm, RefersTo:=sRT
My problem now is that I need to have the regions be the length of the longest column. I've tried using a few different ways using the worksheet range but I can't seem to get it to work.

Count Longest Run Of Numbers Above Mean
Jun 12, 2008I'm attempting to summarise several hundred control charts.
One thing I'd like to do is be able to put in a formula to count the maximum number of successive entries that are all the same side of the mean.
Another related thing is to be able to count the longest run where successive values are the same.
First And Last Date In The Longest Continued Range
Jul 16, 2008I am looking for a formula that returns the date of the first and last value in the longest continued range.
In the example:
CD30CLA3101/02/200833201/03/20086

The two formula should return the two dates in blue.
Count Longest Run Of Contiguous Zeros
Jun 18, 2008I am trying to figure out how to create a formula or VBA to count how many contiguous 0's there are in a specific row...and then drag this formula down many rows..for example - if a row of data contains 1,3,0,0,0,4,5,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,5,3,1,0 I want the result to be 7, because 7 is the longest streak of contiguous 0's.

Displaying More Than One Column In A Userform Combobox
Dec 10, 2009I have a combobox on a userform that I have set the columncount to 3, so it displays data from columns A, B, and C when the combobox dropdown is used. However, once someone makes a selection from the dropdown, only the item from the first column is displayed in the combobox. Is there a way for me to show the info from all 3 columns once a selection is made?
View 8 Replies View RelatedDisplaying The Row And Column Numbers Within A Range
Feb 9, 2009Is it possible to display the actual relative row and column number in a cell within a range more efficiently then listed below?
For example: I have a named range "data" D7:L19.
In cell E8 should display R2C2. In cell G17 should display R11C4. etc.......
I am using a method described below where cell E8 will have the formula:
="R"&ROW()-ROW($D$7)+1&"C"&COLUMN()-COLUMN($D$7)+1
The reason i am doing this is to solve a bigger problem creating dynamic column headers from a vertical list (named range). But sometimes the column headers, although being consecutive, may be listed in every other column.
Col 1 Col 2 Col 3 Col 4
Heading1 (nothing) Heading2 (nothing) etc......

VBA Code To Detect Longest Cell Containing Data And Copying Whole Range
Feb 9, 2014I am trying to do the following with VBA.
What i need is to find out the last cell with data and then selecting the whole range and copying it.
Please see the below.
As you can see, the column with the "longest" data range is B9,C9,D9,E9.
I need a VBA code to detect which Column has the longest Data and from there copy the entire range.
Hence, in this case, the range to be copied is From A2:J9.

Displaying Same Text From Cell In Otherwise Blank Column
Dec 29, 2009I'm having to re-learn formula commands in order to continue to use my spreadsheets (I had tried to get the Quattro Pro converter to work in Excel 2003 with no success). Actually, I would have stayed with QP since I find it much more user friendly, but with Excel being the standard spreadsheet that most people use, I figured I better get used to it. Anyway, I'm currently trying to find out how I might get the same text that shows up in varying cells in an otherwise blank column (other cells contain formulas, but no text) to also show up in another fixed cell (which can be where I put this formula).

Displaying Column Header Text In Other Cells
Oct 23, 2008The basic spreadsheet consists of a list of names down the left hand side with 19 columns across - one for each art activity (I have pasted a copy of it below - but it doesn't paste so good!). Each person has selected their three activities and this has been recorded by placing a 1, 2 or 3 in the relative columns. Each person has been told that they will get a place on two out of three of their chosen activities (in which case we will change one of their choices to a 0).
What I would now like to be able to do is to create a mail merge in Word which looks at each person and then goes along that row to find out which columns have a 1, 2, or 3 in it. The heading for that column would then be used as a merge field so that I end up with a word document which looks something like this:

Displaying Combined List Of Names Based On Several Column Cells?
Jun 25, 2014I am trying to create a summary Calendar that would display all the names of the people who are off on a given day. I have a grid where I display each day of the month and a person in the group has their own column. If they are out of the office for any reason their name appears in that row. In the big Summary Calendar cell for each day of the month I want to look across all the people columns for that day and then display the names of the people who are not going to be in the office. Can I do this by a formula or will using VBA work best.

Feb 28, 2014I have a spreadsheet of several thousand named items (in column B) with values associated with them in column A). The "name" field is a string of several alternative names for the item.
I have a list of ~50 items that I am trying to find the values for. Each uses one of the alternate names.
What I want is a function that will return the associated value in column A when one of my shortlist names is found.
For example, my big spreadsheet looks like:

And my list looks like
Atlanta
CHI
I want the output to look something like:

CHI 4
Is the feasible? IT seems like there should be a way to do it....

I want to be able to delete the entire column, if the row has a certain string, such as "Chart ID" .

FindNext (search In Column For A String)

2) as that string is found, move the entire contents of that cell to the same row, column F
3) insert a blank row above the row where the text was found
4) continue to search and perform the same steps
I was able to come up with the code to find a single instance and perform the necessary steps, but I've tried 'til I'm blue in the face to incorporate the FindNext object to parse through the entire worksheet. I thought I was on the right track with the attached code (which could be completely wrong), but it returns my MsgBox "Value Could Not Be Found."

What I want to do is take the original value, so A from B1 and make it Aa, then make C1 contain the same A, but this time Ab.
It should be very obvious what I'm after from the spreadsheet.
Nested IF(SEARCH The String In Column)
Dec 17, 2008Column A contains an alphanumeric string up to 50 characters in length. I need a formula to search the string in Column A for the word "Appeal" and place that word in Column B when found. Likewise for the words "Grievance" and "Complaint". If none of the three words are found in Column A, the contents of Column B should be blank. Here's the formula I've played around with (it works on the first line but returns #VALUE! on following lines):
=IF(SEARCH("Appeal",A1),"Appeal",IF(SEARCH("Grievance",A1),"Grievance",IF(SEARCH("Complaint",A1),"Co mplaint","")))
I've tried entering it as an array, but that also fails. This seems like a pretty simple problem ,but I've spent several hours trying to make the formula work so I'm obviously doing something wrong.

Is there a better, more simple way to return the string value for a column from it's number reference?
