View 3 RepliesI am staffing an upcoming event with volunteers and I want to be able to a single volunteer across their various shifts and locations. However, I cannot guarantee that a particular volunteer will always be in the same column on my spreadsheet so AutoFilter doesn't do the trick. I've tried using Advanced Filter options as well, but I either can't seem to get it to work or it won't work with strings.
I've attached a sample of the type of document I'm working in (genericized) so hopefully my below questions will make more sense.
Ideally, I'd like to be able to be able to search/filter for Joe and see rows 2 and 3 appear. Is this possible?
Additionally, I'd like to know who is also on shift together. For example, is there a way to search for Tony and Sarah together and have row 5 appear. I know that I can do this now with filtering column 2 and then 3, but the real document I'm using is over 800 rows long (very big event!) and using progressive filtering would take longer than I'd like.
I want a checkbox to filter column with specific value and hide others. And also there are two checkbox, one should be automaticly unchecked if we check another checkbox.

On Sheet 2, I want to create a summary of data from Sheet 1 based on 2 Criteria which applies to column I and N.
On Sheet 1, I have put in a formula to link to sheet 2 for the criteria to make things easier.
So BN3 = Sheet2C3
And BN4= Sheet2C4
I have managed to run my coding to filter the data that I correctly want to copy and paste onto sheet 2 - however I only want to copy specific columns.
This is the coding I have written to select and filter the correct data values.
Sub AddFilter()
'
' AddFilter Macro
'
Dim rCrit1 As Range, rCrit2 As Range
With Application
.EnableEvents = False
.ScreenUpdating = False
[Code] .......
This now gives me the correct data in the table.
I want to copy the visible cells from this table but only for columns e, dr, r, v, w, o, z, AD, AG, AQ, AW, AY
The copied data will then be pasted into sheet 2 starting in cells B9
I plan to attach a button on sheet 2, so when the user updates the values in C3 and C4, this will update values in BN3 and BN4 on sheet1, they can run my macro which will go to sheet 1, filter the data on what they have entered and paste the correct values.
Yeah it is 1:33 am where I am.

How do I go about using adding an auto filter on specific columns of a worksheet..?
I.e. I want to auto filter column "D", "G" and "I" but none of the columns in-between ("E", "F" and "H")
Currently I can only create the filter for one column or a group of columns that are next to each other)
I would like to change the greater than number to the value in cell 'I11' in sheet 'Linear Programming Data' and the less than number to the value in cell 'I12' in sheet 'Linear Programming Data'. The code I am using was done by recording a macro since I don't know how to code in vba.

I have the following type of info in A1,A2,A3...
Code:
nameGaryage40cityPittsburgheight190
age30height150
ameLindacityMichigan
citySan Jose
ameHarryheight180age50
My goal is to get as close as possible to this,so it will be easier to sort and manage
Code:
nameGaryage40cityPittsburgheight190
nameLindaage30cityMichiganheight150
nameHarryage50citySan Joseheight180
I can't use the "" sign as delimiter to separate them into different columns because the age,city,name and height fields are in random positions on different cells.The good thing is person's name will always come after "name" string, age is alwals followed by "age" string, so it cannot be like nameheight40Michigan180
I think the following would be the easiest method(not for me tho).If on B1 I had a formula that said "find the string "name" and write anything after it until you reach the next "" character".On C1 field I could have a formula "find the string "age" and write anything after it until you reach the next "" character.On D1 I would have the same for "height" string,then on E1 for city string.
My question is somewhat similar to this one
Extract A String Between Two Characters
Formula which outputs the data between 3rd and 4th instances of the "_" character.Can we substitute "3rd and 4th" with a specific strings like "age" or "height" ?
Code:

I have some columns on which I have a filter, with some columns next to those that have information in them.
What I need to do is filter only columns A-F when apply filter values, but keep columns I-K fixed as A-F change when they are filtered..
How do I filter multiple columns of information with the use of one dropdown arrow?

I have also attached an Excel Filtering Example spreadsheet for use in explaining how to create this type of stacking filter. Excel Filtering Example.xlsx
What i need to do is basically delete every row in my spreadsheet that contains the criteria "L-0.###" in said column. by ### i am referring to 3 decimals, such as:
L-0.250
L-0.000
L-0.555
and so on. you get the idea.
with the below program i got it working so i can type in:
L-0.***
and have it sort out everything proceeding L-0. ...problem is i need to keep the data such as this:
L-0.53
L-0.00
L-0.0
or basically everything not 3 decimals in with a head of L-0.
here is the macro i'm using:
Sub DeleteRowByString()

' DeleteRowByString Macro
' Macro recorded 7/10/2007 by Khenzel
'
' Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+S
'
'Get the criteria in the form of text or number.
vCriteria = Application.InputBox(Prompt:="Type in the criteria that should be removed from matching columns. " _
& "If the criteria is in a cell, point to the cell with your mouse pointer", _
Title:="Ferguson Enterprises, Inc.", Type:=1 + 2)
'Go no further if they Cancel.
If vCriteria = "False" Then Exit Sub
'Get the relative column number where the criteria should be found
lCol = Application.InputBox(Prompt:="Type in the relative number of the column where " _
& "the criteria can be found. (Ex. A=1, B=2, Etc.)", Title:="Ferguson Enterprises, Inc.", Type:=1)
if possibly a modification in my coding to make this work, or simply a criteria i can type in to make it happen.
I would like to filter a row using the following criteria: date should be < or = todays date.
I have tried the below but it doesn't work
Selection.AutoFilter Field:=11, Criteria1:="
I have some data captured in a spreadsheet. The data was recorded every 15 seconds in this format 00:00:15. The total time of recording was 24 hours. I need to filter this data to every 2 minutes and capture it into another sheet.
I have attached an example of the data captured.
I have recorded the following macros but need to fine tune them. In Field 1, I would like to be able to have criteria 1 be => the value in cell D9 instead of 160. Likewise criteria 2 needs to be <= the value in cell D10 instead of 170. Fields 2 and 3 refer to columns E & F so they would be respective cell values.

The below code worked fine when there was just the month entered, but now all the entries in the sheet are in the format 01 January 2009. So I need a section of code which will search for the combobox value as part of a string in my range.

I'm trying to add code to an existing macro that is working well to add a feature.
As it sits now, my code produces a worksheet tab called "Matrix" that has headers in row 1, a variable length list of employee names in column 1, and then a variable number columns with data crossreferenced by name in the body of the spreadsheet. Not every row/column intersection has data, some are blank if the ItemXname does not apply to that individual.
What I want to do is select all the cells on this spreadsheet, apply a filter, and then filter based on the selection of names in column 1. But I want to do this using VBA, where the macro runs, it asks the user if they want to filter on one or more names. If no, then it skips this part. But if yes, then the next thing they see is the filter window like they would see if you did this manually. After making their selections and hitting ok, the VBA routine would then take their selections (some finite number, but could be 5 -10 names) and process the rest of the macro accordingly.
Is there any way to filter/sort a workbook by a specific text. (EX. Unit 17) I have a spread sheet with 40,000 plus rows and in 1 column it has descriptions. I am needing the filter to filter out all occurrences of Unit 17 and Unit 16. They will not always say the something happened to them. EX Repair brakes on Unit 17 or maybe repair tires on Unit 17...

How does one extract a specific sting/words from each cell? Especially if [formatted data] varys in characters (not suitable for regular LEFT, MID, RIGHT functions use).

View 11 Replies View RelatedI have absolutely no idea how to get starting on this one. I've got a long string in cell B1. At some point there is the word "oms:SomeString," (without the quotes). I need to know whether SomeString is somewhere in the active sheet or not (the workbook running the VBA-code is not the active sheet). I can't just compare the cell B1 because it contains multiple words. Any hints are very welcome.

In one column I have different objects separated by a comma. I need to select one of these: 11,20,30,60,61 and copy it into another column. I have used this
For counter = 0 To not_empty_cells
For counter_dep = 1 To 5
position = InStr(1, (Cells(counter + 3, 4)), department(counter_dep))
If position > 0 Then
symbol_dep = Mid(Cells(counter + 3, 4), position, 2)
Cells(counter + 3, 10).Value = symbol_dep
End If
Next counter_dep
Next counter
It works, however, once in the first column there are the following objects: 60,6128,CZ, it takes 61 but it should take 60. Unfortunately, the position of the object can vary, it is not always on the first position.
I have code that retrieves the body of an email. I need to parse out certain parts of the text. For example, the text will look like the following;
LastName: John Doe
Email: johndoe@aol.com

I have the code to find where the specific item, ie LastName, starts in the whole text. I need to retrieve everything to the right of the : before the CRLF. That's what Im having trouble with.
