Find/Return Nth Letter In Cell
Jun 12, 2008
I'm trying to write a macro where I match specific letters from one cell, with a column in another sheet so I can copy/paste adjacent cells. As an example I have a list of part numbers in column A of my Document1:
ex.
C12932-1
C13226-2
I want to be able to find the corresponding part number in column A in Document2:
ex.
C-12932
C-13226
However the proplem is clearly that the part numbers are written differently. So I need to just search for "12932" or "13226"

For the below formula is it possible to replace the B's (column location) with a cell Say Z146 which contains the letter B (or a number if thats easier and someone can tell me the numbers for each column).
When the formula is dragged into the next cell (down) it takes its column reference from Z147 and then my life becomes so much easier.
=IF(INDEX('Overs-Unders'!B:B,MATCH($C145,'Overs-Unders'!$A:$A,0))"",INDEX('Overs-Unders'!B:B,MATCH($C145,'Overs-Unders'!$A:$A,0)),"")

When I used "activecell.column" it returns the numerical value of a column (For Example: Column B would be 2).
I use the following in my
Dim StrRef As String
StrRef = "AN"
I want to be able to refer to column "AN" without having to hardcode "AN" into my code becuase it may change.
Below is part of the Code where I refer to "AN" in context of a loop---
For Each icell In ActiveSheet.Range(StrRef & "7" & ":" & StrRef & LastRow)
I tried Activecell.Address but that return the entire cell reference.

Can column() return a letter instead of a number? I am planning to use it with INDIRECT? Is that possible?
=INDIRECT(row() & column())?

how I can return the largest letter from an array of letters? e.g. if the array is "A,B,C,D,H,K,L,O,P", the value returned would be P. Kind of like a MAX function, but for letters instead of numbers.

I need to build a formular in a cell that uses various columns in it's row such as: =A2+A4+A17+A24. In the past I've used simple number references to the columns (a is 1, b is 2,.....) I can't do tht though if I'm using a macro to automate the creation of a formula, right?
Is there a property I'm missing that will return the letter reference to the column instead of just the number as Activecell.column does?
My alternative is to write my own code to do this, but you know the bit about not reinventing the wheel....

I have a drop down list in a merged cell B12-F12 and B13-F13 and B14-F14 . . . B30-F30.
I need the adjacent merged cell to populate a reason (text) based on the text answer in the drop down list or the entered text in the first merged cell. For example in the cell B12-F12 the user picks from the list or types in "Amiodarone." I want the adjacent merged cell G12-J12to automatically fill with "Heart Rhythm." I also want to be able to set up multiple if - them statements like if Amiodarone is entered then fill adjacent cell with Heart Rhythm and if Toprol XL then fill adjacent cell with Heart / Blood pressure and if simvastatin then fill adjacent cell with Cholesterol, etc. I have about 30 different options for cell 1 that I want to have auto fill in cell 2 based on the contents of cell 1. I've attached my file.
I want the user to be able to choose from the list or type the drug name in.

This time I'm trying to use the max value and row value at the same time, but it won't let me. Here's what I'm trying to do...
A B C D
1 a b c d
2 7 9 4 2
3 e f g h
4 8 2 7 8
5 i j k l
6 4 3 3 9
I want Cell A7 to return the letter before the highest value in column A...
A7=e
B7=b
C7=g
D7=l
I tried to do something using two cells, but even then I couldn't figure it out.
I thought a ROW(MAX(A1:A6)) would give me the row and I could go from there, but that didn't work.

I have a problem with VLOOKUP. The Value im trying to look up a value which is one of 5 sheets Called Con1 to Con 5. These Sheet names are in an Array called "ArrCons" the look up value range is also a variable and looping through column "C". The table Array is on Sheet "Con" Range "A:E", return column is 2 and the logical value is "false".
ActiveCell.Offset(i-1,2)=Application.VLOOKUP _(ArrCons(y)!C & i -1, Sheets("Con").Range("A:D"),2,False)

I am drawing a complete blank of this one. I know it can be done but I can't seem to remember how I did this in the past.
I have a sheet that has cells A1 at MB, A2 as ML A3 as MD
Then in cells B1 I have MB,TL then in B2 I have ML and then B3 is Blank this time.
Then in cells C1 I have Jim, C2 has Jack, and C3 has Fred.
What I want to do is have a formula that is in cell D1 that looks at the value in A1 and finds that value in Column B and if it is found return the value in the same row in Column C. In the example it would show Jim since MB is found in cell B1.

I am trying to complete these steps:
Take a value from AK59 from the "EQF" tab in a file called "QuoteMaster.xls"
Use that value to find match in column "A" in a Seperate workbook "ITMSTR.xls" on the "Sheet1" tab
Offset to the right 1 cell of the found value, take back to the "QuoteMaster.xls" and put in cell "AN59"
My code comes up with no errors, it opens the file and closes is as shown, but it doesn't copy the value over for whatever reason...

how I could search for any number great then (x) and replace it a letter
For example I have an excel table with a series of weights.
lbs
6001
4560
6789
2000
5656
8879
1243
I like to replace any number greater or equal to 6001 lbs with the letters SS.
Example:
lbs
SS
4560
SS
2000
5656
SS
1243
Then I'd like do the same thing again but this time replace any number less
then or equal to 6000 lbs with the letters SS-LL .
Example
lbs
SS
SS-LL
SS
SS-LL
SS-LL
SS
SS-LL

I have this piece of code
Sub do()
Dim i As Integer
Dim x As integer
x = 5000
i = 1
Do Until i = x
If Cells(1, i).Value = "C" Then
ActiveCell.Select
Selection.Insert Shift:=xlToRight
Selection.Insert Shift:=xlToRigh
i = i + 1
End If
Loop
End Sub
I want it to search down the first column and find any instance of the letter C and shift it (along with the entire row) over two clumns to the right.

construct a formula that finds a value in a range , then returns the cell address of that value.
Say, i wanted to find the amount 12385 from another sheet , range C2:AA12 (contains only numbers , no duplicates). result should give me the address of that value.
I have tried the address & match function but gives me an N/A error.

when I use the range.find function to find a certain value in a column.. i want to return the address of the cell.. and save it in a range variable. how would I do that?
so this is what i have now.. but Rng does not return as a range.. it returns 69... when i use ctrl + G and type ?rng
set rng = .range(A:A).find(what:=69, After:=.Cells(1, 1), Searchorder:=xlByRows, searchdirection:=xlPrevious)
ok so say it picks up..... cell A69... how do i get it to save range A69

On Sheet2 I have a table where I want M2 to do the following:
1.) Look at cell A2 where the name "John" is and B2 where the name "smith" is.
2.) Look at sheet1 and look in B2 and C2 for "John" and "smith"
3.) Once it matches the name, place the contents of sheet1, cell I2 into sheet2, cell M2.
So in short, match the name on sheet2 to the name on sheet1 and return the number in I2 to M2 on sheet2.
Maybe combining the persons name in to one column would make it easier?

I would like to be able to find all cells in row 2 that are "greater than 0". Then I would like to return the coresponding job number in row 4. I need to create a list of each job with the number of hous spent on that job next to it. I may have 30 different jobs but only 5 jobs that have hours for the specific week.
How I attemted to solve this is to create a table that listed all the hours from the largest number in row 2 to the smallest. Then I found the job number corresponding to that number of hours. The problem with this meathod is that if two jobs have the same amount of hours then the first job number is returned for both values that are the same. See attached example.

I have a column of references I wish to standardize. Contained within a general text description there is also an order-specific reference number, which is not relevant for my purposes. I wish to find all of these numbers and replace them with nothing (i.e. retain the rest of the description).
The reference numbers are always in the format "P#####/##". Unfortunately these references are in the middle of the text field, not at the start or end, so I can't use a LEFT or RIGHT formula to delete them.
Once these reference numbers have been deleted I will then be able to filter for unique records only. When I do this at the moment the filtering has no effect due to these specific reference numbers.

I have this table, which can be seen as a basic custom gantt chart: KLRWo.png
And I would like to fill the A column with start dates, based on the first filled cell of the range on the same row, and the header value of its respective column (row 1). It's easier to show my expected result than write it actually:

Is there any formula to find text and return its cell address? This is like when we use Ctrl+F function to find a text, and Excel then highlight the cell contains the referred text. At the same time, the name-bar displays the address of the cell. Now, is there any formula that can perform such task like this?

Working on an export from an e-commerce application that lists the item purchased, unfortunately not by item #, but rather a lengthy description. I'm trying to construct an item number based on that description which contains several constants.
Each item ordered appears in a single row, comprised of ORDERID, QTY, PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
I have several tables to pick out PRODUCT TYPE, COLOR, SIZE, etc. I need a formula to search to see which of the unique values appears in each in the cell and return the shortcut of that value.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION example "Sweater - Blue - Large - Wool"
TYPE TABLE:
Sweater SWTR
T-Shirt TSHT
Jeans JEANS
COLOR TABLE:
Blue BL
Green GN
Purple PL
Black BK
I would have separate tables for each part of the description.
The formula I'm seeking would search the PRODUCT DESCRIPTION cell for the range of values for each 'part'. So it would search to see which of Sweater, T-Shirt, or Jeans was in the cell and then return the one that was - SWTR in this example. I would modify this formula for each 'part', in its own cell, and then use an =cell#&"-"&cell#&etc... to combine these returned values.
I know I can write a large if- chain using ISERROR & FIND, though some of these lists will get lengthy.
