Fill Down Multiple Words?
Apr 7, 2014
I have an Excel spreadsheet with two columns: A and B.
Column A has multiple cells with content separated by different amounts of blank cells. Column B has content throughout the whole column. What I want to do is perform the same task as the "fill down" in Column A by clicking the black corner box as if Column A only had one heading/cell filled with data. The catch is that the fill down would need to be applied until the word changes. So for example in Column A if I had the cell with the word Smith and 20 blank cells after and then cell 21 with the word Thomas followed by 15 blank cells then I would want Smith to fill down its 20 blank cells until it hits Thomas then Thomas will fill down its 15 blank cells until it hits the next word and repeat.

How do you replace terms, such that if you replace 'alphabet' with:
alpha -> calcu
bet -> lator,
you get 'calculator'?
The one I'm asking is similar to: Replace("alphabet", "bet", "lator") = alphalator, though 'alpha' will get replaced as well.

I am using the code below to search an Excel worksheet for a pre-determined word and then delete the row the word is found in. It works fine, but I what I really need it to do is search for several pre-determined words and delete the rows.

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")

What formula should I use to search a certain text that might be on the beginning, middle or end of a cell to use it as a condition for an IF formula to return a related description. In the example below the text would be "deposit".

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 trying to parse a formatted text file. I am using the SPLIT function as
arr() = split(cline," ")
where cline is an input line. if the line input(cline) has multiple spaces between two words, how would it split that.
Eg :
abcd defg fefdcs fasdfasdsa
would the output of above be
arr(0) = abcd
arr(1) = defg
arr(2) = fefdcs
arr(3) = fasdfasdsa

I am using this formula but I don't know how to get it to populate more than one cell.
Here is the formula:
=INDEX(APPROVED!$A$3:$A$1000,MATCH($F$4&$H$1,APPROVED!$D$3:$D$1000&APPROVED!$C$3:$C$1000,0))
It has multiple matches but I can only see the first match in the cell.

I need to extract all instances of words that have format xnnnnnn, where x is an alpha character (letter of alphabet, to be precise) and nnnnnn are numbers. The words could something like u435586. The problem is I do not know how many instances of these words are in the string. The entire string is contained in a cell. A sample string could be something like:
SMNTv922970;#1283;#SMNT 433925;#1284;#SQRS 003417;#1285;#SQRSp047683;#1286;#SMNT 6132451;#1287;#SQRSw3145627;#1288
and the end result should be
v922970 t433925 t003417 p047683 t6132451 w3145627
The words are preceded by the character "" which might facilitate the search.

I'm looking for a macro to remove all words (in a single word per cell format) in a range (approx 100 columns & 7000 rows), except for a list of 100 words.
I'd prefer to email the file if that's okay.

I've been using conventional method to do this and it's time consuming. I would like to total up 2 column. A multiply B to be exact. Below are some examples:
Table 1 - Before totaling up:
Quantity
Product
5
2 x Button A White
3
4 x Button B Pink
4
5 x Ribbon A Black
2
3 x Thread A White
6
2 x Cloth A Blue
Table 2 - After totaling up:
Quantity
Product
10
Button A White
12
Button B Pink
20
Ribbon A Black
6
Thread A White
12
Cloth A Blue
I need to have the sum of the "Quantity" multiply "Product". Or in short A x B.
And the end result need to have the number and "x" sign removed while keeping on the the products names. (2 x ) Take note it's "number" space "symbol" space.

I am trying to write a formula that will do multiple IF statements checking to see if words are written in certian boxes and if so to do certian things and I need help, never done multiple IF statements in one formula before and can't find anything in the books I have or on the web.
= IF(D30 = "Oceanic",
IF(D35 = "Yes",
Both True
(((D32 * 4) + (D33 * 5) + (D34 * 9) + D31) * 0.15) + ((D32 * 4) + (D33 * 5) + (D34 * 9) + (D31 + 4500)),
Oceanic = "Oceanic", D35 = "No"
(((D32 * 4) + (D33 * 5) + (D34 * 9) + D31) * 0.15) + ((D32 * 4) + (D33 * 5) + (D34 * 9) + D31)
Oceanic = False, D35 = "Yes"
((d32 * 4) + (d33 * 5) + (d34 * 9) + (4500 + d31))
Both False
((d32 * 4) + (d33 * 5) + (d34 * 9))
=======================================================
I got:
= IF(D30 = "Oceanic", IF(D35 = "Yes", (((D32 * 4) + (D33 * 5) + (D34 * 9) + D31) * 0.15) + ((D32 * 4) + (D33 * 5) + (D34 * 9) + (D31 + 4500)), (((D32 * 4) + (D33 * 5) + (D34 * 9) + D31) * 0.15) + ((D32 * 4) + (D33 * 5) + (D34 * 9) + D31), ((d32 * 4) + (d33 * 5) + (d34 * 9) + (4500 + d31)), ((d32 * 4) + (d33 * 5) + (d34 * 9))

I am trying to find certain words in a column and delete the word and characters following. For example, Say I have a column of info as seen below. This is a test of me. I am just experimenting with this stuff. Deleted (6/15/01) Let me know what you think. I am not sure about it all, but I guess I will figure it out. riviledge1 (01/05/06) Now let's see what happens when I try to test it.
I want to find all the "Priviledge1 (01/05/06)" and replace with nothing. Please note, the date will change with each record, so I need to figure out how to tell Excel to find "Priviledge1", delete it and the date behind it. So I want to delete "Priviledge1" and the next 11 characters including the space.

On to the topic, I have all the US and Canadian states abbreviated (CO = Colorado, etc.) and was wondering if there is a way to make all of them convert to their respective names in one fell swoop instead of writing it in for each one, one at a time. Something along the lines where I can make, CO = Colorado, TX = Texas and then hit enter and all of the abbreviations would convert. Some kind of command.

I want to sort on number of words, i.e. if a cell contains 1 or 2 words etc, with the cells containing 1 word coming first then cells containing 2 words. Also, if possible, first the cells with fewer characters.

I have tried Sumproduct and Countif and can not get a proper count of rows that contain specific words in multiple columns. I have attached an example spreadsheet where I am looking for a result of 7 rows that contain 1 to 4 specific words within phrases. The example looks for the words: "virus", "spyware", "malware" & "adaware", and ignores any other words like "aware" or "ware".

I have 4-5 separate lists of words/letters and I would like to combine them in a certain order but creating all possible combinations resulting a new word. It's like a conjugation tool for verbs. For example if List 1 = be/el/ki/meg; List 2= m List3=e/é; List4= gy/" "; List 5=" "/ek/sz/nnek So the output has to be (if the order is List1+List2+List3+List4+List5)= bemegy/bemegyek/bemegysz/bemesz/bemész/elmegy/elmennek/ ..... and all possible combinations.
Preferentially I would like to automate it in a way that it straight outputs into MS Access. Also can it be automated that it reads the list from a file (database)?
(Also can it recognize the word by letters? Because the basic word that I would load the program= List2+List3+List4)

I have a form using in Excel 2003 that's 5 columns and 20 rows I need to populate the Textboxes with values from a worksheet. I want to use a loop statment that fills the first row, then increments to the next row until all 20 are filled. I have named each row the same name except the last character is the row number 1-20.
ie on the form textboxes named:
NameRow1 AddressRow1 CityRow1 StateRow1 ZipRow1
NameRow2 AddressRow2 CityRow2 StateRow2 ZipRow2
This is what I want to happen
Sub test()
Dim RowNumber As Integer
Dim FormRow As Integer
Dim NameRow As Object
Dim AddressRow As Object
Dim CityRow As Object
Dim StateRow As Object
Dim ZipRow As Object
RowNumber = 3 'Row in Data sheet
FormRow = 1 'Row on form
NameRowString = "NameRow" 'first part of the named object
Do While FormRow < 21
NameRowVar = NameRowString & FormRow................

I am trying to do can’t really be recorded, at least i don’t think it can. I have a report that I run off and after I loaded it in Excel I then have to add in five columns at the end of the sheet. These are always in the same columns: R,S,T,U,V.
These are the formulas I have to then input
R =IF(G2="no invoices",A2,"")
S=IF(I2="Match",A2,"")
T=IF(I2="Sent to AP",A2,"")
U=IF(I2="Force Settled",A2,"")
V=IF( COUNTIF($R$2:$U$10054,A2),A2,0)
Note for column V, the range R2:U10054 would depend on how many rows is in the report, its just in this example the report does have 10054 rows. The columns would always stay the same. I would then copy the formulae down for the number of rows that is in the report and filter column V by entries that equal zero to give me the rows I am looking to analyse. Is this the type of thing that can be written as a macro so that everytime I have a new report open in Excel I can just run the macro and it will do all of this for me?

I have a column:
LABEL COUNT
1 of 2
empty cell
1 of 2
empty cell
1 of 2
empty cell
1 of 2
empty cell
1 of 2
empty cell
1 of 16
15 empty cells
I need to fill the empty cell with the "series" (2 of 2, 2 of 16, 3 of 16). This is just an example of data - there are all different series - 1 of 12, 1 of 5, etc.
Anyway - was hoping to highlight the whole column and be able to auto fill instead of having to extend each series. I have tried straightforward fill series which doesnt work of course. I have tried go to special - blanks but cant find right combo to make it work.
Will it work or do I have to either do manually or with a macro?

I have a workbook that has a "summary sheet" and then forty some sheets thereafter. Each row on the summary sheet represents a sheet in the workbook. For instance, i.e. on the worksheet tabs below it is displayed left to right as follows: "summary page"(sheet1), "aaa"(sheet2), "bbb"(sheet3), "ccc"(sheet4) etc. On the summary page, row one identifies the aggregate of sheets in a horizontal fashion, i.e. cell A1: "aaa"; cell A2: "bbb" and cell A3: "ccc" etc. I am pulling data for various parameters as columns on the summary page relative to each row (representing each sheet) via "SUMPRODUCT" and "COUNTIF" formulas. The formulas are a constant as each sheet's rows and columns are identical, the only variable in a given formula is the sheet name.
For example: =COUNTIF('aaa'!$C$4:$C$16,"Online")
This works fine if I drag and auto fill the column on the summary sheet, except for the fact that I have to manually type in: 'bbb' in the formula for the next row down in said respective column (COUNTIF('bbb'!$C$4:$C$16,"Online") and 'ccc' (COUNTIF('ccc'!$C$4:$C$16,"Online")and so forth forty some times thereafter.
Given that I am encountering this issue over multiple columns, I am easily going to have to manually alter some 300-400 cells at this rate should I not find a solution. I know there must be an easier way, I have tried creating a 'Custom Autofill List' but this does not translate to the formula bar and thusly will not fill the series. Additionally, I have tried to create a Macro but my lack of knowledge in VB and overall in this area of Excel has proved to be a difficult task..
