Excel Search Engine Displayed On First Worksheet
Nov 1, 2011
I am having a problem with excel, I need to create a search box, which will be displayed on my first work sheet, which is the summary page and I need to search through all of the information on the other sheets within the excel document, they type of information that I have rages from reference numbers, names and amounts (currency) and once someone has input the information that they are looking for and has found every occurrence it will display this on the summary page, is this something that can be done?

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:
[URL]
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...

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)

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.

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 want is to create a search engine in excel that allows users to input the clients name and the search will return all the info on the client such as the issue and their policy number.
Is this even possible? Using Access is not an option. I know I can use Access but most of my users dont know how to use Access and I want to make things as simple as possible.
Thanks so much in advance who ever succeeds at provding an answer u're a genius cuz I have no clue where to start lol.

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 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.

I like the way the names auto fill. Though would ilke to have it so say when roc is entered it shows as a dropdown so you can see that there are more than one ROCHESTER.
Like a search i guess, That would be valid to the first to letters. so if you had name donald, david & daffy when D is entered it showes all three then when DA is showes only David & daffy.
The project that i will 1st use this on is a contact address ph book.

I would like to add a search box to worksheet 1 in my workbook of 162 sheets. I need the search box to search sheet 23 cell range B11:B342. These cells contain names of employees.
I would like the option of entering a name into the search box and either hitting enter or clicking a "go" button to search. If the search is successful, ideally a function would automatically redirect the user to the located text and if the text cannot be found, a message would appear indicating as such.
When it comes to VBA, I am a very basic user, so I would need the code written out for me and I need to know exactly where to put it and how to get the search box to appear.

his is of Jaafarian proportions. This is in relation to an earlier post on dragging and dropping. That is all worked out thanks to help from board members. For the sake of your own curiosity, this project will tile worksheet windows (actually specific ranges from other worksheets and other workbooks), borderless, within a single userform and allow dragging and dropping between ranges that reside in different workbooks. That is all worked out as well. The only roadblock I am running into right now is that I cannot edit directly in the cell when the worksheet is displayed in the userform. Probably has something to do with placing a worksheet in a userform to begin with.
CTRL-R to show the form or run maco, "ShowForm". If you double click a cell and attempt to go into edit mode, it will appear to be locked up. It's not, just hit enter to escape the cell. The problem is the userform is a child window of the application. Hence, focus can pass to the parent window or another child (the formula bar in particular) which is exactly the behaviour expected. How do I get around this?

i will illustrate what i want to do here with these two excel sheets below. I want to some sort of coding that searches for A and B (Name of the Branch) from sheet 2 and copy the No. of transactions given against A & B from sheet 2 to sheet 1.
OR keep just A & B in sheet 2 and delete the rest of the rows so that i can manually copy and paste values against A & B.
SHEET 1
Name of the Branch
No. of Transactions
A

I have a workbook with 4 worksheet that store different type of data. It also has a userform that load at start of the application which is to search the data in the workbook. The userform has a combobox where the names of the sheets are stored. when the user selects say Sheet2 in the combobox, it enables the relevant textboxes on the userform and activates the worksheet at the change event. The userform has a search button that searches all the worksheets based on the text entered in a textbox.
The problem: how to search based on 1 textbox. What I want is: say for e.g the end-user selects sheet2 from the combobox, this intern enables 4 textboxes (Name, DOB, Nationality, ID #) on the userform. The end-user should have the liberty to enter data in 1 and/or any of the textboxes. The search should be performed, that if data is only in 1 of any of textboxes then give all rows that fit that criteria and display in a temp worksheet. if say the name and dob is filled by the user than what matches both should be displayed in a temp worksheet. if say dob, name and ID# given so the search button should narrow down to fit all 3 criteria and then display result in temp worksheet. As if mentioned data can be entered in either just 1 or any or all textboxes.
E.g. the worksheet is (Columns are Name, Nationality, DOB, ID#)
row 1 = name: Steven Martin, DOB: 27-may-1993, Nationality: Trinidad & Tobago, ID #: 1234567
row 2 = name: Gary Richards, DOB: 2-FEB-1993, Nationality: British, ID #: 456789
row 3 = name: David Cohen, DOB: 27-May 1993, Nationality: American, ID #: 98765
row 4 = name: Roberto McDonalds, DOB 21-Jul-1962, Nationality: British, ID # 654321
row 5= name: Gary Richards, DOB: 01-Dec-1978, Nationality: Australian, ID # 1234567
Now if the user enters only name as "Gary Richards" and search then row 2 and 5 should be displayed in a temp worksheet. if user enters name Roberto McDonald and ID# 1234567 then it should not display anything. if user enters DOB 27-may-1993 and nationality British and ID # 1234567 then as well shouldn't display anything and should a msgbox "no data found".

I've been tackling this data capture/paste issue for a week or so. I found the string below which does provide a good foundation for my challenge. But, my basic level of understanding macros limits my modifications to meet my needs.
[URL] ......
I have 20 worksheets in my master file corresponding to Excel files individual associates will update weekly. After the associates have updated their individual files for the week, I want to capture the data entered and paste values into a master file containing a worksheet for each associate (sharing the same name as the individual associate file). All of these files are housed on team SharePoint sites.
I need a macro to perform several steps after clicking a "Run Update" macro button in the master file:
Open individual associate fileIn master file, search for each Initiative listed in column B (starting cell B3) in the individual associate file (in column B starting at cell B11)If Initiative is found in individual associate file, copy adjacent data in columns D:J for the respective rowIn master file, paste values to the corresponding Initiative row for the corresponding week's worth of dataIf Initiative is not found in the individual associate file, move to the next Initiative listed in the master fileRepeat these steps for each individual associate file
Linking would be the easiest way to accomplish this if I wanted to have a multitude of weekly individual files for the associates. However, I'd rather each associate have one file for them to update (basically overwriting their previous week's entries).
I need to ensure the paste values corresponds to the appropriate day of the week. In simpler terms, if the date in the individual associate file in cell D9 reads Oct 1, 2012, the data captured from that row needs to be pasted to the corresponding row/column in the master file that reads the same date.

Using a pivot table, I'm linking to an external data source in ACCESS. I use the pivot table wizard, select the database (spend2008.mdb), and then ONE table that is not in a relationship/linked etc, its just a plain table, and then I get the error
"The Microsoft Office ACCESS database engine cannot find the input table or query "mdb.summary". Make sure it exists and that its name is spelled correctly".
This is new spreadsheet, so new join to the data. I'm selecting the table from the Query Wizard, so not possibility of a spelling mistake. I've been all through the database to make sure I haven't set a link or relationship. There are a total of 4 tables in in the DB that are related, but I've deleted the relationships

I tried both IF and LOOKUP and failed. I'm trying to search for values from one worksheet and identify whether or not those values exist in another worksheet. I attempted the following lookup in field A2:
=LOOKUP(B2,Sheet3!A$2:A$914,Sheet3!C$2:C$914)
B2 (thru B5000 or so) contains values I want to search for; sheet3!A$2:A914 is where I want to look and column C of that same sheet, entered the text "Yes" in an attempt to have the results list "Yes" for hits and N/A for misses. (All fields are text.) I copied the formula all the way down the sheet in column A. The result it is returning is N/A in A2 and Yes in A2 -to the bottom, which is incorrect.

I have (finally!) created a simple bookkeeping system. It consists of 3 worksheet. #1 just has a button to call up a data entry form (& associated macro). #2 stores the data and #3 holds the values used to automatically create the dropdown lists in the form when it is called up. Doing this, I can enter all my money records using a quick 'point & shoot' dropdowns, except for the cash amounts entered. To search the data, I just use the filter functions to search the data sheet (#2).
I want to search the data sheet using a form (similar to the data entry form) called up from a button on the first sheet (#1). The search variables would be selected from the dropdowns and the results displayed under the form on the first worksheet. For example, I would select 'Utility Payments' and 'February 2007' and the result displayed would be: " Total Utility Payments for February 2007 is £[Total of all payments summed here]". I've tried some of the solutions in the previous posts, each of which gets me some of the solution but I can't combine these answers into one solution.

with a macros to search for a certain value through an input box, and once that value is found, I need its corresponding row to be cut and pasted into the next available row in its corresponding sheet, and then the remainging rows to be shifted up.
For example, in column B of sheet 1, I have trap ID's. I need an input box that will search for the 'trap ID' that I enter, and then cut that row and paste it into its corresponding sheet. I will have numerous other sheets with different titles, so I was hoping to add the sheet to transfer the row to in the inputbox. I have found and modified a code, but cannot quite figure out what im doing wrong. I have attached my current code.

I know this can be done using Ctrl+F but that thing is really annoying and sometimes if your not clicked on the same row your searching it doesn't work, I just want to keep it simple.

I want to search upwards in a column to find the last value not equal to a value (0,"", etc) so that I can perform a calculation using that value. Here is an example of the sheet.
A B
1 2121
2 1738
3 2159
4 2180
5 0
6 484
7 484
8 0
9 484
working my way down the column, what I want to do is take a value in column B and add it to the value in column A if the value in A is not 0. The first value in B will always equal the value in A if that value is not 0. If the search upwards shows only null fields or it hits the first row in the column without finding a value, that value in the current B cell should show the value in column A. I want the field to show null if A is 0. I want a formula that will look upwards in the column to find the last non-null value to add my value in column A. example : formula in B5 should show a null (""), the formula in B6 should show 84 (B4+A6), the formula in B7 should show 88 (B6+A7), formula in B8 should show null (""), etc. Column A will change values from time to time and I would like the formula to automatically be able to handle the change in values.

Sheet1 has 500+ rows and 30+ columns of data, sorted by text in column G (last name). I want to create a data input sheet for users to manually key in data. I need help to create a macro to cut and insert the row from the data input sheet into Sheet1 - the first row after it finds a match in column G. The text in G can only be one of ten different "last names".
It needs to be after the first event because of graphing from the data sheet.
