I'm writing a macro that sets print areas automatically from a button. There's one sheet that the rows will change everytime, anywhere from 10 lines to 250 lines. Is there code that will find the last row containing text?
View 7 RepliesI am having trouble getting my IF statement to test if the cell contains the text "sale" return "X" if not "Y". I need it to search through the text string in that cell and find a certain word, and if it finds that word, retrn a value. I am really having difficulty with is what symbol or function do I use for the logical test? (i.e. =, <>, MATCH, INDEX?)

View 5 Replies View RelatedHow do I use an Excel formula to find which (if any) multiple sets, each of up to 50 words, exist in a series of rows of a spreadsheet - if set A has one or more words found in a searched cell.
A positive result will return a specific value in the designated result cell. If none of the words in Set A is found in the searched cell, the formulae will repeat the test for the words in Set B, and so on.
After all 50 sets of words have been tested, the formula will move to the next cell in the searched column.
New words will be added to the sets of words continually as required.
Multiple words within sets are included in double quotes. Within each set of words there will be some n-tuples of words (i.e. 24 adjacent words) that contain one or more of the words in the set, but for which the formula will be required to return a negative result. Example: Set A = word 1, word2, word 3, "word1 word2 word3". (The words within a set could also be each entered in separate columns, as opposed to all included in a single cell.) The single column of text to be searched is about 10,000 rows.
I am wanting to use the above in a spreadsheet that contains data downloaded from a series of bank accounts to automatically allocate items of expenditure to one of 20 or so different categories of expenditure.
The formula will search the description field to find words that are used in the in the downloaded files from the various accounts to describe each transaction.
If a word describing travel expenditure (e.g. hotel, "holiday inn" but not "holiday travel") is found in the description of an expenditure item - the item cost will be allocated to the TRAVEL EXPENDITURE column, which is one of 20 or so different categories of expenditure.
Happy to consider a different solution if the task can be done better a different way.
Tried using a combination of INDEX/SEARCH/IF in Excel, but was not able to get a correct result. PS I am using Excel 2011 for Mac - which does not allow macros, so the solution needs to be entirely formula based.
I have a worksheet with several columns. I need a formula to search column D only and each time a specific location is identified to replace that location with alternate text. Example (ORIGNAL TEXT):
Column Dtext to text help.xlsx
BIRD
FISH
DOG
BAT
BUG
I need to search that listing and each time the word BIRD is mentioned have it replaced with FEATHERS and each time DOG is listed have it replaced with TAILS Final result would look like:
FEATHERS
FISH
TAILS
BAT
BUG
All other text should stay the same and replacement text should appear in the cell of the text it is replacing. This is a sheet used by multiple people several times a day and so the Find/Replace option really won't work.

i am trying to do a search and i came across this. In the excel file attached you will see 2 column. Now if you take copy and paste "sterling rd" which is standing alone into the crtl F search field. It wont find it.

I'm trying to set up a dashboard with a table and some formulas so that I can just copy a data export into one tab and have the table perform various Vlookups, charts, etc. The trouble I'm having is that some of my cells contain a mix of text, and I'm looking for specific text only. Example:
Address |Tags | Result
Email 1 |t1 t2 t3 t4 | Email 1
Email 2 |t1
Email 3 |t2 impact1 | Email 3
Email 4 |impact2
Email 5 |impact2 t2| Email 5
My data source has thousands of rows, and I'm looking at the Tags column. I want to use a Vlookup that gives me the email when [Tags] contains "t2", but my search is getting confused with "impact2". Is there a formula to search for "t2", but not get confused with "impact2"? I considered using =NOT, but I don't want to exclude cells just because they contain "impact2". If there was a formula for =IGNORE, that would be marvelous. My formulas are getting longer & longer, but they always seem to break in the end.
Basically I'm trying something like:
=IF(OR(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("* t2*",Table1[Tags])),SEARCH("t2*",Table1[Tags])),"Yes","No")
(Once I get the IF figured out, I'll use Vlookup to bring out the Address).
I have a couple of excelfiles in which someone made a flowchart with text boxes. I would like a search code that would help me find a text or number in those text boxes. The CTRL+F function only works on cells. Does something similar exist for text boxes? Or can this be made in a macro?
The macro recorder doesn't let me record a macro that finds text box #9, go to the end of the existing text in the text box and then add my text.
When I record the macro and go to the box, it doesn't appear in the code (as well as not working).

"It's raining cats."

I have spreadsheet A with 14 columns of data ie Col A to N, in Column I there are file names. Somewhere within the file names is the client code. The file names do not conform to a standard naming convention so the client code is not always in the same position or the same number of characters long. I have a separate spreadsheet (spreadsheet B) that has the list of client codes in column A and the associated business unit code in column B.
I want to be able to find the client code within the file name of spreadsheet A and then add the associated business unit code to column O

I would like to be able to type my search string into a text box and excel will find it as I type.
Here is what I have so far.

Stuff1 = Test()
Cells.Find(What:=Stuff1, After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlValues, lookat:= _
xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:= _

VBA code for the following?
I have a spreadsheet that looks like this:
Description Amount YTD Account #
ANZ ANZBank
Interest $50 $500 1-100
Rent $20 $200 1-200
NAB NABBank
Interest $50 $500 1-100
Rent $20 $200 1-200
I want to create a macro that assigns a unique identifier in column 5 (a new column) for each account name ie. ANZ, NAB to the account numbers. The output I'd like in a new column is: ANZ1-100; ANZ1-200; NAB1-100; NAB1-200.
I thought I had the solution using IF(LEN(RC2)=3,...etc) but then some account numbers have more than 3 letters ie. ANZA so that didn't work. I need the macro to assign the account name to each account continuously until it reaches the next account name on the list. Any ideas?
I'm sure this is basic VBA for a person more adept at this sort of stuff than me!!
I recently had a lot of help using the sumproduct formula with isnumber datevalue added to it. I now want to do the same but rather than finding numbers, i want it to find text.
