Excel 2007 :: Search / Replace Multiple Words In Table
Dec 7, 2011
I am using excel 2007. I have a worksheet with a list of words I wish to step through this list replacing the selected words in another workbook with nothing (ie deleting them).
I have the following code
Code:
Sub replacewords()
Dim MyWord As String
Dim wbLibrary As Workbook
Dim wbWorking As Workbook
Dim myExcelColumns As Integer
Dim myExcelRows As Integer
Dim MyRow As Integer
Dim MyRange As Range
We have a list of typed information (see attached) in which we would like to remove some words and simply replace with a space "". In addition to this: Unfortunately, folks tend to mistype or misspell words, add extra digits, etc, and for those mistakes we would like to replace them with corrections. Therefore, for this problem, we have a Replacement Table and the Subject Data, an example of which is shown in the attachment. I have posted a slightly similar problem on Ozgrid recently:
Replace Words In Cell Matching Those In A List and in that link, the following UDF was proposed:
Function ReplaceIfInList(rList As Range, rCell As Range, _ strReplacement As String) As String Dim rLoop As Range
If rCell = "" Then Exit Function For Each rLoop In rList If ReplaceIfInList = vbNullString Then ReplaceIfInList = Replace(rCell, rLoop, strReplacement) Else ReplaceIfInList = Replace(ReplaceIfInList, rLoop, strReplacement) End If Next rLoop End Function
This worked great, but at the time i posted this, I did not have the foresight to anticipate the flexibility in what the replacement text would be (the above code always replaces with a ""). THIS new Post is asking the following:
Is there a way to define (or modify the above) User Defined Formula that will analyze the words typed in a cell, which are typically separated by spaces (or on accident, multiple spaces), and essentially use the Replacement Table as a reference for what word to replace with?
for my school project, I am right now doing time tracking for all of my activities throughout the day with excel. Here is basically what I am doing: For everything I do, I record and put in start time and end time for the activity.(I use simple formula to subtract these twos) If my day goes on like study, break, study, meal, study, break and each activity takes one hour for each, I have total of 3 hours studying, 2 hours taking break and one hour for meal. I am using pivot table to show all totals for each activity.
Pivot table is working best as far as my knowledge goes as I can choose and look up total of multiple activity combined. The problem here is I am making one sheet per a day and I need to continue this for three months. (So that seems like 90 worksheet). What I was thinking is I make Sheet 1 as master sheet. Then, copy and paste the entire sheet for 90 sheets assuming all formulas including pivot table go along with them. then, when I put in new data to other sheet,magic happens and values in pivot tables will change relatively after refresh. You might be probably laughing hard at me right now. I know..I tried it for like 3 sheets. Simple formula to subtract endtime and start time still work accordingly with new data. But, Pivotal table is playing dead at all.
I researched and found that that might be problem with reference and absolute cell reference thingy. ( to make pivotal table work for different worksheet). All the cells used ( including column and row ) will be entirely the same for all worksheets. The only difference aka problem is different sheet. I want to use sheet 1 as a template and copy it down to next 90 sheets taking all contents except data. Is there anyway I can copy and paste the whole template to another 90 sheets while making pivot table work and calculate and update itself according to relative data from each own worksheet? I use excel 2007 btw
I'm trying to find if the description in Column L has any of the following words: (irrigation, sprinkler, water). The cell does not need to have all of the words, but just 1 to make the IF formula return a yes. view the example below and let me know where I am making the mistake. I don't want the case to be sensitive.
This is what I have so far, but it is only finding the first word.
This example returns nothing:
Text in Column L Main irrigation line broken Need to repair
Formula in Column S =IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH({"sprinkler","irrigation","water"},L203)),"Yes","No")
This example returns Yes:
Text in Column L Irrigation broken sprinklers and broken lateral li
Formula in Column S =IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH({"sprinkler","irrigation","water"},L210)),"Yes","No")
I have a perfectly working pivot table and I would like to make some graphs based on the report filter. My report filter has 4 categories, with each more than 10 sublevels.
When I make one pivot graph/chart, this goes fine, the data is ok, and I am happy. But one I make a second, and thus adjust the report filter, the first graphs changes according to the filter. I dont want that to happen
Ultimately I would like a powerpoint presentation with multiple charts, based on one table, with different report filter filters. Updated ONLY on the values, not the filter.
I have a column of words in Column A and I want to replace all the times that these words appear in the rest of the excel sheet with the words in Column B. If someone has already answered a similar problem link me to the thread because I can't find anything.
So I have a cell with multiple words in A1. I want to check for the word "red" in A1 and if red exists return a value of "red" in B2, IF "red" is not found then search for "blue", if "blue" exists return a value of "blue" in B2, if "blue" is not found is not found then search for "green", if "green" exists then return "green" in B2, if none exist then return value of "none"
I have Excel 2007. I have a spreadsheet with email addresses in it surrounded by other text. I want to automatically highlight in yellow each row containing the words gmail, yahoo, hotmail and so on.
I CTRL-H then enter the info as you see it in the pic attached. When I click Replace All it says "that function is not valid". It works like a charm for every other word I test it with.
I have two worksheets, contractor & list. Assume that Column (A) on the "contractor" worksheet is a named range from Column (A) on the "list" worksheet. On the "contractor" worksheet I would like to put in the contractors name, and auto populate the pay value in column (B). I have been using a Vlookup formula, but need to automate this process a bit more.
"Contractor" worksheet - Two columns: (A) I will input the contractors name from a dropdown list based on name range from my "list" worksheet. (B) is where I would like to populate the pay base on column (B) in my "list" worksheet.
I am running Microsoft Excel 2007 on Windows XP. Right now, I have the standard macro set up that will replace formulas with their values. It's the standard macro that does this for the entire sheet:
Code: Sub All_Cells_In_Active_WorkSheet_1() With ActiveSheet.UsedRange .Cells.Copy .Cells.PasteSpecial xlPasteValues .Cells(1).Select End With Application.CutCopyMode = False End Sub
However, with this being a daily task, the issue is that this wipes the formulas out for future dates, which is obviously problematic. To be more specific:
I have one tab (HISTORICAL) with over 200 rows with each business day this year. Columns B through H will pull data from two other tabs (ENTRY1 and ENTRY2) that is entered daily, using a formula that tells Excel to only pull the data for the current date:
Code: =IF(A224=ENTRY1!B1,ENTRY1!B2,0)
So each day, someone will open this sheet and input their data on the ENTRY1 and ENTRY2 tabs. These numbers will auto populate over to the HISTORICAL tab for that specific day.
Also on each day, someone else will open the sheet and go to the HISTORICAL tab and run the macro that converts the formulas on that sheet to the value.
I want to be able to run the macro only for the row with the current date (and any date before will be fine since those will already be converted anyway).
So, taking today for example, when I run the macro, I want it to convert the data only in the 11/8/2011 and previous rows, but NOT for the 11/9/2011 and later rows.
Sheet1 contain daily input table which as follows:
Code: Namesalary Bonus Check XX1000 2 FN XY900 1 NA YY1100 2 FN ZY1500 3 DP ZZ1250 2 FN AA1050 2 NA AZ 950 1 FN
Sheet2 have table where all the information is saved. So we can say this is database of sheet1. Which store every day information of sheet 1.
Code: SALARY DATABASE Name SalaryBonus
What I want to do is that ---it copy all the data which fullfile condition FN and move to the Sheet 2 which is salary database. Two important things to check is that. IF name already exists in the sheet 2 then it replace old info with the new one. Second thing is to sort the whole table(Salary database-sheet 2) according to A-Z (Name column). I use office 2003. I hope I provide all the information.
Currently I am using excel 2007. In that I have two sheets (sheet1 as Dashboard & Sheet2 as Database). On sheet1 I need to develop a functionality of searching as per key word (Keyword will be typed on cell B2) and i need to display search data below cell B2 till whatever cells depending as per database.
with the data in the attached sheet, I create several different pivot tables that need show the count of the information in the columns M:DU. My issue is that the data is sent to me from a third party and the columns contain zeros that cause the counts to inflate.
What I would like to be able to do is run a macro that will search out any zeros in M:DU and replace them with a blank cell.
Unfortunately the number of rows increases with every monthly reporting cycle so the macro would need to be able to accommodate for that.
I'd like to use VBA to create a super substitute function. For my needs, nesting is insufficient because my substitution list is at 20 and growing. To make matters worse, the function needs to be used in several places.
What I'd like to do is have a named table with two columns for the function to use as a look-up for potential substitutions. The first column would contain the original text and the second would contain the replacement text. This way, whenever new items come up, all I have to do is add them to the list. The syntax of the function would be along the lines of SUPERSUB(TextString, table), where TextString contains the text that could be modified.
I've to continue the same sheet made by my bos (I'm using excell 2003, my bos use 2007). However, I'm unable to find the next column which my bos used it. Ex : My last column in excel is IV column. However, my bos's column in more than IV column.
I wonder is there a way in excel to replace multiple words at once. To have like script where I had all words that need to be replaced and words replacing those. And just click the button and done? More specifically I'm translating some exports in xls and there are few words repeating over and over again in every document. So for example I need to replace word parfem for perfume like 500 times in one excel document atd. I think there has to be a easier way to replace those words at once.
I am using excel excel 2007 in windows 7. I have a search button that works great, however, I want it to also highlight the cell green, when it finds what I am searching for. Here is the code below for the search button I have.
Private Sub CommandButton6_Click() Dim searchthis As String, Found As Range Me.Unprotect Password:="123" searchthis = InputBox("Type Number.", "Property Search") searchthis = searchthis & "*" Set Found = Range("A:A,e:e").Find(What:=searchthis, LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt:=xlWhole) If Not Found Is Nothing Then Found.Select Me.Protect Password:="123" End Sub
I have values in row A and I have values in row C. I want to create a loop to look up xxx and replace it with the values consecutively in row C. Look at example for a better Idea. I found a way to find and replace, but I not sure how to use it with qoutes. I was thinking maybe I dont even need row A and just supply a list and excel could have the chunk of data in the code itself.
I need code for a search box function, that returns the information recorded in a cell for example, "Barcelona" or "London" etc), instead of the location of the cells.
I will need to narrow it down to search only the information in the following columns:
Sheet2 I2:J10932
I am totally new to VBA coding and have stumbled my way through a few things, but everything I have searched for so far has had at least one error when transposing to Excel.
using Excel 2007. I need a code to identify a worksheet within a workbook by cell/range value. The book is used by various users. They have the rights to add new sheets and all but delete columns in the 'master worksheet'. The sheet names can be changed by the user but I need to rename the master sheet on opening the file. To do this I have put a specific value in a cell within the master worksheet which then should allow me to find the sheet and rename it. (let say Range A1 has a value of "this sheet") I have a mental block on how i can run a loop to search each sheet for the identifying value until the range and value is found and the sheet identified
I use the following formula in excel 2007 (and it's working perfectly in 2007) but this formula does not work if I work with the same file in excel 2003 ...w why and what I have to adjust?
I have a excel 2007 workbook that has 5 sheets "MASTER" , "RED" , "WHITE", "GOLD" & "BLUE". There are 7 columns in each sheet and the master has about 8,000 rows . In column D of each sheet there is a unique number (approx. 8 - 10 digits ) that I would like to at the press of a command button search through sheets "RED" "WHITE" "GOLD" & "BLUE" against the unique numbers in the "MASTER" sheet and if there any duplicates numbers delete the entire row but leave all the data in the master sheet.
I'm trying to write some code that will make excel examine a particular range, determine if there is text in each cell, and if there is replace it with different text.
I am trying to find specific text throughout an excel document (2007) and replace it with the same text but in italics. I tried using the options/format function and selecting italics for the "replace" text but it replaces the entire cell text in italics instead.
