Find Part Text On All Sheets & Delete The Column
Sep 26, 2007
I am trying to move through the worksheets and delete all columns with "Accession" in contained in them. I have to do this with an external macro as the spreadsheet with the data is created from another program. I tried this and get an 'Object or With block variable not set' error and the debug highlights the Cells. Find line of the code.
Also, the number of columns could be variable within the spreadsheet as it is compiled by the other program.
Sub DelAccessionNum()
Dim Wrkst As Worksheet
For Each Wrkst In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
Cells.Find(What:="Accession", After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt:= _
xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious, MatchCase:=False _
, SearchFormat:=False).Activate
On Error Goto Completed:
Selection.EntireColumn.Delete Shift:=xlToLeft
Completed:
Next
End Sub

I am trying to create a macro that will delete everything below a certain word.
The code I tried to use is the following. This produced an error:
If Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(180, 1)). Find(" Interest Expense").Row = 0 Then
iStart = Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(180, 1)).Find(" NET INCOME").Row + 1
Else
iStart = Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(180, 1)).Find(" Interest Expense").Row + 1
End If
Rows(iStart & ":" & FinalRow).Delete shift:=xlUp

I have a column of data with letters in each cell, no numerical, only alpha. Now, some of those cells contain the letters "adj sub" as part of the text string in each cell. "Adj sub" is always at the beginning of the text string. As an example, a cell will look like this - "adj sub mhm". I want to delete rows whose cell description does not contain "adj sub" as part of the text in the cell.

I am trying to delete part of a text string for a range of cells. The code I have so far deletes the first set of letters but is looking in every cell in the range.
Ideally I would like it to only look in the cells of col B where there is data then only delete the first 10 letters if the cell begins with "Service ID"
Sub DeleteServiceID()
Dim c As Range
For Each c In Range("B1:B1000")
c.Value = Right(c.Value, 10)
Next c
End Sub

I have a text document with 1000 lines. All the lines are in this format
important< %#$ other words
other important thing < %Z$different words
some important text < $# some other words
I want to know if is such a excel filter that will delete all the characters starting from "<" until the end of the line.
So, the output of this 1000 lines will look something like this:
important
other important thing
some important text

The data I am looking for is two parts of the string (1) all the text up to and including the first “%” character (2) the last six characters.

I'm trying to create an Excel function that allows me to choose a row from a table based on text found within entered data. For example, say I have a table called "categories" that looks like this:
Categories
cat
dog
mouse
Now in a different section of the workbook, I want to be able to enter an arbitrary number of sentences, one per row, that look something like:
"It's raining cats."
"The mouse is hiding."....................

I have data sets on multiple worksheets within a workbook (over 70). Based on the begining of a string, I need to count all instances with that begining, and if there are fewer than 12 instances, delete the entire row.
Data set example:
In this example, I need to count each instance of rows starting with 1/* - 9/*, and delete rows as mentioned. In other data sets the string might start Gi1/*, and so on. In the following code, if I do not loop, and only test against 1 value type, and ONLY run it once, it works. As soone as I try to loop through all possibilities, or run the macro a second time, it blanks out the entire worksheet, starting at row 3.
Dim c As Long
c = Worksheets(i).Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
With Range("A3:A" & c)
If Application.WorksheetFunction.CountIf(Worksheets(i).Columns(1), "1/*") < 12 Then
. AutoFilter field:=1, Criteria1:="1/*"
.Offset(1).Resize(.Rows.Count - 1, 1).EntireRow.Delete
.AutoFilter
I have also tried to concatenate a variable with my CountIf criteria, but that fails miserably.

see attached spreadsheet. In sheet 1 I would like to look up each word in column D, seeing if they are in column B at all. Note if the word "Jill" is in D and "jilly" in a surname in B I would like it to get picked up. I have highlighted manually those that would get picked up. Those that do get picked up I would like to be copied into column C as per sheet 2 (this is what I would like it to end up like). There is a very long winded way of doing this using a find function and 1 column per word but as the actual sheet i'm using has thousands of different words this isn't really viable!

I need to put a part of a text from a column and place it in a new collumn. At this moment I use 2 columns and an extra sheet to solve this.
I have a collumn with a lot of data like:aaa-bc
bbb
abc-ba-bd
aa-bb
bbb-xx-yy
aa
abc-yy
klmn-zz
klmn-yy-ff
What I need is behind every cell a new cell with only the 1st part like:aaa
bbb
abc
aa
bbb
aa
abc
klmn
klmn
What I do now is use a new column with this formula:
[Code].....
And I made a translation table in which the 1st 4 characters are translated to what I want to see. In a 3d column I use
[Code]....
to get the results I need. Since I need to get results like this very often this method is very time consuming.
Is there a formula available I can use with only 1 new column?

I'm building a course registration workbook and am working on the unregistration macro.
I have a seperate worksheet for each course, labelled by the course code.
There is also a page for each registered participant that shows what courses they're in.
The macro reads off the information on the participants page, and then should goto each registered course's page, look in column C for their name, find it, delete the contents of that row for Columns C to G (has their other information) and then shift all CELLS (not rows) below the now deleted cells up 1 to keep track of the order they were added.
I've tried recording my own macro and editing... but it doesn't work very well for this.
I've also tried searching and come up with nothing, but if someone can look at my code, and/or point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated.
For Each ws In Worksheets
'checks only course sheets that match the courses the individual is registered in.
If ws.Name = unregisterCourse1 Or ws.Name = unregisterCourse2 Or ws.Name = unregisterCourse3 Or ws.Name = unregisterCourse4 Or ws.Name = unregisterCourse5 Then
'Should search for the variable "unRegister" in column C and select it.
Cells.Find(What:=unRegister, After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False).Select
'Now needs to select the four cells to the right as well (C:G) and delete them
'Select all cells below from C:G and shift them up one.
End If
Next

Below is my code.
It opens a file, does nifty offset formula to compact rows A and B to rows E and F. The problem, is once it is done it leaves a trail of 0's in cells that had no data in the original file.
I have been trying to figure a way to just delete the rows in column A that have a zero in each worksheet (there are 7)
Code:
Option Explicit Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() Dim fromwb As Workbook Dim ws As Worksheet Application.ScreenUpdating = False ' Opens file to select With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogOpen) .Filters.Clear .Filters.Add "Excel 2007",
[Code].....

I'd like a macro that does 3 things..
1. Find the last row (cell) of data in the "Customer Number" column. This search should be by the name "Customer Number" rather than by column letter because the column that "Customer Number" will be in can change.
2. Find the column named "Purple" (also by name for same reason)
3. If the "Purple" column has no blank cells in those same number of rows as the "Customer Number" column, delete the whole "Purple" column.

Is there any way to remove the first part of a string of text in a cell and save the second part?
The first part of the text string is a team code that has a variable number of numbers, capital letters and sometimes spaces. The second part of the text string is a variable number of words in a team name that all start with a capital letter and have lower case letters. Every line has a different team code and team name.
The original spreadsheet also has a column with just team code. Is there a way of using this column to "subtract" the team code from the text string to just leave the team name?

I need to find the "x" in range C2:C44 and replace it with a value (variable) specified in cell I2
The catch is that I then need to be ablt to change that character when I2 changes.
Coloum C
*VER
*T’x’STATUS
*ON
*OFF
*T’x’BANDS
EG
I2 - Variable = B
*T’x’STATUS will become *T’B’STATUS
I2 - Variable = A
*T’x’STATUS will become *T’A’STATUS
But " *OFF " should not change.
I can change *T’x’STATUS to *T’B’STATUS but then I can change *T’B’STATUS to *T’A’STATUS
Please see attached example file as it shows it better than I can explain it.

I have a report that comes in a txt file. After importing into excel i am left with a bunch of garbage that i dont need. This report is anywhere from 5-15 pages depending on how much product was made that shift. I only need the information off of the 1st page. My question is how can i Find the first occurance of specific text (Site) (will be in column A) and have it select that row and all rows below and delete them.
My biggest issue is the first page can be anywhere from 40-60 rows so I need to find the text (Site) and delete everything below it, which could be anywhere from 500-1500 rows.

I have searched high and low for a more efficient macro than the current loop i have. I have a range that varies in size but always follows the same format. After i reach a certain value output from a formula, "4", I want to delete all lines below that line. So I want to find value "4" then move one row down and delete all lines to line 2004. I have attached the macro that i compiled but it takes a couple of minutes to run.
Sub manual()
Dim Firstrow As Long
Dim Lastrow As Long
Dim Lrow As Long
Dim CalcMode As Long
Dim ViewMode As Long
With Application
CalcMode = .Calculation
.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
. ScreenUpdating = False
End With
With ActiveSheet
.Select
ViewMode = ActiveWindow.View
ActiveWindow.View = xlNormalView.................

The idea is that i have several monthly data in columns. I also have a subtotal column that can be a "Total Trim I", "Total Trim II", "Total Trim III" or "Total Trim IV". I also have a yearly total: Jan Feb Mar Total Trim I Apr May Jun Total Trim II Total 2005
I wanna cut the "Total Trim I" column, paste it after the Yearly Total and cut and paste the "Total Trim II" after the "Total Trim I" column for every year... It'll look like this: Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Total Trim I Total Trim II Total 2005. But not every trimester has 3 months... I've been thinking about a find function but i have troubles with the implementation.

I have a file here included which has 8 + columns. I normally have to go through each column and find when the references start and delete everything below it. If i could have a macro find where the references start in each column and delete on down that would be a huge time saver.
#REF!
#REF!
#REF!
#REF!
Thats the example of the reference i run into, i was thinking of a macro to find where the REF starts and delete that cell and everything on down.

I am paste valuing from one sheet to another. The size of the data changes each time so to manually delete all Null cells is a pain.
If I do not delete them it sucks up 3 megs of space. I have searched the board several times looking for a solution, lots of discussions but no solutions.
It would be great if I could find that first cell that contains the Null string and then delete the cells remaining in the column. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
