Excel VBA - Compare Words / Inputs Without Case Sensitive?
Aug 25, 2013
I have an issue with case sensitive while creating forms in Excel VBA. When i compared the text "EXCEL" and "excel" it showing as both the words are not equal/same.
Is there any code to compare the words/inputs without case sensitive.
I am using the this formula to look up data using 0 to show not found. VLOOKUP is acting case sensitive. The Master Array data is in caps and the input is in lower case. There are no spurious spaces. Here are the results:
Code Name 0 River Branch Foundation = not found X RIVER BRANCH FOUNDATION = found - in array as caps
I have been battling with excel for weeks now trying to get some data to display the way I want it to.
The plan is to enter (into individual cells) some letters, some lower case, some upper case ie, A A a A a C d. Some of these will be displayed together in another cell like this: AAaA, AaCd. My problem is that I want them all to be displayed Upper case letters first, lower case second like this: AAAa, ACad. No amount of my inexperienced fumbling with excel's tools has worked so far.
I am playing around with a table for genetics so if my results in a cell are aAbBCcdD, I need it to display: AaBbCcDd. Is it possible?
I have a spreadsheet which I use to count the occurrences of a value against a range. Basically if the value is uppercase I count as 1 and for lowercase 0.5
This spreadsheet is used as a holiday chart and I have previously used the formula below however, for some reason it no longer works. Not even if I change the lookup value.
The exact function takes a single cell as its value but I have a spreadsheet which allows a range. Although I cannot change it….
in making this macro non case-sensitive. So when a user searches a company name in the worksheet they do not require to type in the company name exactly as it appears.
For example; when searching Microsoft they can type "microsoft" and the macro would take the user to Microsoft.
I would also like to know if it is possible to add a feature that keeps the search dialogue open so the user can search the next possible match. If the user was to type in "mirco" and the search would show the user any company name with the word micro in it.

I have recently taken on the task of creating a large protected program (without macros) that automatically updates a PowerPoint presentation. I created corresponding workbooks for each sheet in the original (master) workbook. The corresponding workbooks are then used to paste object into the power point presentation. The only problem is it will not update format (text color) changes into the corresponding workbook. I have solved half the problem with conditional formatting, but I want to conditionally format the color of text to two different colors blue if Aa and Red if all CAPS. how to differentiate between Standard word and All CAPS in the conditional formatting.
I need a macro that will format a a column based on content that is case sensitive. Example, a cell that contains a capital 'P' will be shaded gray with red text where a cell that contains a lower case 'p' will not change format.
Is it possible to have this type of case sensitive sorting (first all words beginning with a capital later and then all cells beginning with a lowercase letter):
I have a user form to get some input from the user and want to make sure that in some textboxes user should be able enter only text i.e A to Z or a-z no numbers or special charecters.
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() Dim RegEx As Object Dim Strng As String
Strng = CStr(Me.TextBox1.Value) Set RegEx = CreateObject("vbscript.regexp") With RegEx .Pattern = "^[A-Z]{2}/d+/d{2}$" If Not .test(Strng) Then MsgBox "Invalid Format: TextBox1" End With Set RegEx = Nothing End Sub ..............................
I need a macro or excel formula so that it will remove duplicate products- case sensitive(removing all duplicate prod using using excel,that i know.) i.e. it should not consider Blue BLUE as duplicate. only consider Blue Blue as duplicate.
So the macro should work same as data -> remove duplicate function already exists in excel, except it will be case sensitive..
I'm looking for a way of keeping case sensitive data in a range of cells, before using Data Consolidate, which when merged afterwards, Consolidate removes the case sensitivity and combines the quantities into one.
Check out this simple table as an example >
A B C D E F G H
1 TEXT QTY TEXT QTY TEXT QTY TEXT QTY
2 and 3 and 2 and 10 and 5
[Code] .........
Cells A1-B7 and C1-D7 are two sets of original data, before consolidation.
Cells E1-F4 are the result of applying a Data Consolidate operation to the A1-B7 and C1-D7 ranges - note how the merged result ignores the case sensitive condition in the original ranges.
Cells G1-H7 is the post-consolidation result that I'm looking for, where the original text case is maintained.
I've got a 96000 line spreadsheet with individual words or abbreviations in each cell of the first column. I need to sort it with numbers first, then Capitalized words, then lowercase words. The numbers aren't an issue but sorting the Caps first then lower case without getting words that have a cap in the middle is frying my tiny brain. Originally I dug around here and found a search for caps that returned a True/False then sorted the columns on the result. =MIN(--EXACT(Dict3,LOWER(Dict3)))=0 Then I found that I had abbreviations in the list like cGy and eV or cGMB that incorrectly showed up as true but weren't. Now I need a modification or a better answer. I tried a fw dozen things but obviously I'm barking up the wrong functions.
I am doing a compare (<>) of two strings in a VBA IF statement. See the code below ...4th line has the IF statement. I want the compare to be case INSENSITIVE. It's not. "Thomas" = "thomas" results in FALSE.
[Code]....
I tried changing the if statement to read:
[Code] .......
With this, VBA complained that the function was not supported. For fun, I tried LOWER and got the same result. Typically I punt in this situation and store the mixed case text in an active, associated worksheet and have an on-sheet formula do the "upper", then pickup the upped text from the cell with the upper formula. In this case this approach is not particularly convenient.
Looking for formula with if then statement that involves a nested formula or concatenation. I need a formula that says: If cell A reads exactly ABCD then concatenate cell A with cell C. Very basic to most of you gurus but I'm fairly new with formulas.
What I am trying to do isn't very complicated. I started on some code, but it's just not good enough to do all of what needs to happen.
A B C
1 Cupcake Monster Aisle 5 Shelf H
2 The Cupcake Ghoul Aisle 2 Shelf P
3 Fred Baxter's Diary Aisle 1 Shelf X
4 Angry Cupcake Beast Aisle 3 Shelf A
5 Everyone Loves Cake Aisle 4 Shelf R
So I have a list of titles that I want to search for a particular string. The title in this list is the "proper" title,whereas the rest of my workbook typically uses a shortened version of the title. Sometimes the two will match 100%, but usually, they will be close.
If the string in the table above has more than 2 words, I want to use the first 2 words to check for a match. If the string has 2 words (will never have fewer), I want to match the first word. I want to do this IF there is no 100% match (if possible or reasonable). I will settle for just matching 1 or 2 words. I want to copy the values to another sheet and then delete the row that I originally got the data from.
What I want to do is search the list for "Angry Cupcake" and return the Aisle and Shelf location of Angry Cupcake Beast. There will never be any other "Angry Cupcake", so I am not worried about mismatches there.
Code: Dim SearchRow As Integer Dim StoryTitle As String[code]....
how to do and can get to work without issues is an exact match. This still leaves out all of the shortened titles though.
I have a column with 10,000+ lines, and lots of them are duplicated.
I have a formula that tells me how many times they are duplicated, but it only looks for 100% matching cells.
Now, lots of cells are partially duplicated, for example:
A1 - Team Abcde A2 - Team Abcde Fghi B1 - Team Abc
I would like to have a formula giving me a percentage of how two cells are similar to each others by checking the words. In this case, B1 is 50% similar to A1 because only the word 'Team' is duplicated. B1 is only 33,34% similar to A2.
I need to compare a list of keywords (stored in a string variable) with the content of a cell in order to see if any of the keywords do appear in the cell. I have to work with many such lists which can grow over time. What I'm doing is using InStr(cell with content, keyword) for each keyword. My goal is to have a macro which can automatically create the long formula from any list. My actual problem is that the formula I've build and stored acts more like a string. I'd like it to say either true or false. Anyway, here's a sample of what I came up with so far.
Sub build_formula() Dim i As Integer, j As Integer, m(20) As Integer, n As Integer, z As Integer Dim List As String, f(2) As String, s(20) As String, sp As String, Source As String Dim Formula As Variant List = "black, blue, green, red, yellow, white, z" Source = Cells(3, 1).Value z = InStr(1, List, "z") i = 1 n = 1 Do i = InStr(i + 1, List, ",") m(n) = i ..........................
I've got a pretty intense macro already written, a lot of Select Case components. At the end, if nothing matches I'd like to just copy the cell above to the cell below. However, there is a range of about 400 cells in length, so I'd need some sort of wildcard for range.
Rows("2:2").Select Selection.Insert Shift:=xlDown, CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromLeftOrAbove Dim Cell As Variant For Each Cell In Range("A1:OL1") Select Case Cell.Value Case "Eng1" Cell.Offset(1, 0).Value = "Engine One" tons more in the middle here Case Else Cell.Offset(1, 0).Value = "N/A"
Rather then returning "N/A", how could I reference the cell above and just copy it instead?
I'm using Excel 2010. When I type 'true' or 'false' in any cell, Excel automatically changes to CAPITAL and Align Centre. I have to use the function 'lower' to change to lower case and manually to align to the left.
-I have two columns -In column "A" are listed values in black and red font color -I need a SUM of values inside of column "B" where in the same row in column "A" value is written in red color.
I had to crash Excel because it had got itself into a pickle - run out of memory or something anyway it was chasing itself up it's own backside.
I rebooted to restore memory and ever since then my Context sensitive auto complete on VB statements, subroutines and functions has vanished and I can't figure out how to get it back.
How to restore this as I have some seriously complicated routines that are MUCH slower to code if I don't have this option.
I currently have a spreadsheet with the following. I would like to convert the GL Date to just pick up the month. I have tried =mid(cell,4,2) but because this is a excel date it will not pick up 01 as the excel number for this date is 410001
