I have Excel 2010, and a dual monitor setup, with the left monitor being the main one. I have my spreadsheets on the right monitor.
When I open a Find and Replace, the dialog box always goes to monitor #1 (left); I want it on monitor #2.
Is there a way to default it to the "right" monitor?
I have an excel workbook where some sheets have a column called "Name" in Row 3. The column where "Name" appears shifts based upon other criteria so it's not set within 1 specific column.
The real data for the "Name" column starts in Row 5. Is it possible to create a macro that looks in Row 3 for "Name", then once it finds that column, it does a find and replace from Row 5 to the end of the data and replaces every space with a ^.
For example, if I have:
Row 3 Name
Row 4
Row 5 John Smith
Row 6 Jane Doe
Row 7 John Doe
Row 8 Jane Smith
I'd like the data to become:
Row 3 Name
Row 4
Row 5 John^Smith
Row 6 Jane^Doe
Row 7 John^Doe
Row 8 Jane^Smith
I'm using Excel 2010 if that impacts anything.
I'm looking to have a Button on my sheet that will open the Find box so people do not have to go to the menu to find it. Is there a code that can open this?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have two sheets. One is named sheet1 where all my data is and sheet2 where all my values are. I want to do a find a replace on column N (sheet1) using the data in sheet2. Column A on Sheet2 has all the values that are found in column N and column B on Sheet2 has what the data should change to.
So for example:
Sheet1 says the following on column N:
cat
dog
lion
bear
Sheet2 says:
Column A
A1: Cat
A2: Dog
A3: Bear
Column B
B1: 2
B2: 8
B3:15
I want the values on column N to be replaced with 2, 8, 15 and so forth. I use excel 2010.
I have the following code in a macro to open up a find dialog box, but it does not seem to work. I am getting the following message when I try to find something:
Microsoft Office Excel cannot find any data to replace. Check if your search formatting and criteria are defined correctly. If you are sure that matching data exist in this workbook, it may be on a protected sheet. Excel cannot replace data on a protected sheet.
I checked the data I am trying to find and replace and it is correct.
Is it possible to disable Import Data Dialog box in Excel 2010? I have a web query file. I want to copy its content and paste in a new worksheet under an existing workbook. I have a macro which does that but I get Import Data dialog box when I tried to paste the copied content from test.iqy file to new sheet. The dialog box has
Select how you want to view this data in your workbook?
By default Table is selected, which is fine.
Where do you want to put the data?
By default New workbook is selected. I want to have Existing worksheet selected by default.
Is there a way to set these requirements into vba code and make this dialog box not appear at all?
This problem has come up fairly frequently lately, and I'm not sure how to fix it, or if this is by design...but in Excel 2003 I can't seem to do a "Find and Replace" based on the value of a cell. I can do a find, based on cell value, but the moment I change to the replace tab, the "values" and "comments" are missing from the "look in" dropdown.
I've only noticed this when I'm trying to replace on a filtered list, so I'm not sure if that is part of the issue.
Perhaps an alternative way of arriving at the same goal. Basically I have a worksheet with a number of filtered columns. They are filtered just right, using custom filtering, and so I do not want to undo the filters. In some columns I have formulas that are returning #VALUE! errors. I'd like to replace all of these cells with NA.
In Excel 2010 I am attempting to replace values in a cell, the right two values with "00", but am having difficulties with the correct '=replace' function.

I've recently been making a macro in visual basic that loops through all my excel files and replaces an old company name to a new company name and It's working great, well except for one thing... It always misses one string in the file and it leaves me with 90% of the file corrected. I think that the string might be a part of a merged range so Range.Find is not able to find it. I was suggested to use this code:

I have never used VBA in word before, so I am assuming I am making it more complicated than it needs to be. I have a macro that stores 20 excel values as variables, then opens up a word document. I want to replace values in word with my values in excel. I keep getting an error with the replace part. I do not want to use bookmarks or mail merge. MSWord is a reference in excel VBA.

I am looking to make an excel script that can find and replace data.
Situation:
A--------B-----------C
Cat------Dog------Banana
Dog------Fish------Apple
Fish------Cat-------Orange
So the macro would look at the data in a cell in column B, then look at the adjacent cell in column C, and replace all instances of that data in column A with what if found in C. So the results would be:
A------------B-----------C
Orange------Dog------Banana
Banana------Fish------Apple
Apple--------Cat-------Orange
But that's not all, I would like it to not change cells in A that already have been changed once! (I'm trying this with changing the background colour)
I am at a complete loss and need to find and replace over 3000 items.

I'm looking for one function for each of these properties that will provide them with negligible overhead in all or almost all spreadsheet data cases, such as the normal spreadsheets, autofiltered data, large workbooks, etc.
By the way, by "first row", I mean the first row after the header row, given that the header row is in row 1.
I am using Excel 2010 and I am currently trying to find the Avg Min / Avg Max costs for 4 different groups.. Players, Accompanying, Coaches, Medical.
I need it to get the minimum values from 3 different sections ( I am using custom names for them such as PlayerReg for Player Registration costs ) once it gathers the minimum / maximum values from the 3 different sections it needs to add them together to display the Avg Minimum / Maximum for each group.
At the moment I have =MIN(Total_Discount_7_Nights + PlayerReg + FrequentFlierFare) under Minimum /w Frequent Flier although the minimum value it should detect is $948.75 it displays $1115.
For maximum I have
=MAX(Total_Discount_7_Nights + PlayerReg + FrequentFlierFare) under Maximum /w Frequent Flier although once again this value should be $1174.50
Although for some reason it displays $978.75 - which is the minimum cost. The Maximum figures for the other groups (Accompanying, Coaches and Medical) don't even display values Instead it just has #VALUE! in which I'm guessing I have something wrong with it.
Excel 2010. I have two very large tables of data:
Table 1 is a long list of unique items in no particular order, each of which belongs to a unique group of items, for example:
ItemsGroup ID
apple
pear
grape
fig
banana
guava
peach
mango
Table 2 lists all the Group ID numbers and in the same row as each Group ID number, shows the names of all the items belonging to that group, one item in each column. Different Groups have different numbers of items in them. For example:
Group IDItem1 Item2 Item3 etc.
214applepeargrape
33fig
7bananaguava
59peachmango
Is there a formula I can use in the second column of Table 1 to look for each item in Table 2 and tell me what group it is in? For example for "apple" or "pear" or "grape" it would look in Table 2 and return the Group ID number "214".
In Excel 2010, I have a list of numbers with about 7000 rows. I am trying to track the number of times the number "22" appears within 30-day periods, with the end-result being a "count column".
While I could enter a formula manually for the date ranges, there are over 200 time-spans I'd have to enter (list goes back to year 1994). Is there a way to automate this process...

In an Excel Pro Plus 2010 workbook on a Windows 7 PC, trying to use the "After" argument in a VBA .Find function and it's not working as expected.
I've got the following data in column D:
Row1: Title
Row2: Row2Data
Row3: Row3Data
And using this simple procedure:
Sub FindTest()
If Range("D:D").Find("Title", After:=Range("D1")) Is Nothing Then
Debug.Print "Not Found"
Else
Debug.Print Range("D:D").Find("Title", After:=Range("D1")).Row
End If
End Sub
My expecation is that "Not Found"will be returned, but instead I'm getting the row # (1).
If I change the value in D1 the procudure returns "Not Found", as expected.
If I change the find argument to look for "Row2Data" it returns 2.
I also tried changing the "After" argument to "D2" ... same result.
Finally, I tried using this format: "Range("D:D").Find("Title", [D2])" and got the same result.
I recently became owner of a spreadsheet with some issues, and I am trying to make it useful. Each row has a URL of a blog post, and I want to extract the date from it (which is present in each URL) while getting rid of the rest of the URL. I was able to get rid of everything up to the year (which comes first), but then the URL continues, for example, 2013/05/16/the-rest-of-the-url/ and I would like to just have 2013/05/16 remain.
I am trying to use find and replace with the find box reading 2013/??/??/*/ and replacing it with 2013/??/?? which effectively erases everything else in the url, but leaves ?? instead of the numbers. Is there any way to have it so that it keeps whatever was in the original box?

Trying to repeat a 550 or so character statement with a find/replace however I am getting type mismatch errors. When I use a smaller message in the "replace" it works.
I need it to post a message exactly as long as what I have in there. How do I get it to work?
Need assistance with the code for catching errors when using the find / replace function in excel? In particular, I am trying to write code to break to an error message when the value or string searched for isn't found in the find / replace. At the minute I have just copied the standard code using a macro and all this does is return a message box saying X entries replaced.

Data from A1: BU1644
I need to check, if in A1:BU1 are any duplicate words.
All the formulas I found deal with finding duplicates downward (like A1:A1000).

Is there an easy way in Excel 2010 either to tag/ and -or remove the duplicate which I could apply and then just copy downward? The formula must work from left to right, because many words repeat downward.
