Find Text Based On Active Cell Contents
I have a workbook with 2 worksheets, A and B. Sheet A contains source data and sheet B a pivot table of this data. I want my user to click on a cell within the pivot table,click a button that runs a macro to find the instance of this value within Sheet A. I did record a macro but it did not work.

Display Named Range Contents Based On Text In Cell
I have some dynamic named ranges in sheet1, and in sheet2 I have data validation dropdown list which has the names of all the DNR's in it. What I want it to do (in sheet3, no less) is for the user to be able to pick a named range from the dropdown list, and have a particular column in sheet3 then display that entire named range. I have made a 'data' worksheet which is the source for the data validation in sheet2. Each item in the list identically matches the name of each of the named ranges. I was hoping to be able to use some form of =INDIRECT but alas, no such luck. So it's almost like a copy and paste function I'm after, where: If you pick "Schedule_From" out of the DD-list, then DNR 'Schedule_From' is what is pasted in Column B in Sheet3. DON'T want to use a PivotTable.

Go To First Cell In List That Matches Contents Of Active Cell
I am just learning to use VBA and this may be the most simple task ever, but I can't figure it out. I've searched for all of the keywords I can think of, but can't find a solution... I have a list of names in a sheet. Other columns in this sheet contain data like amount charged, amount paid, etc. This sheet must be manually updated (because the other program won't export the information I need) periodically to ensure proper billing/payment application in the original software (all transactions are handled by other people that I don't trust). I sort the list so that the all names that are the same (ie John Doe) are together. A short example list looks like this: Jeremy Apple John Doe John Doe John Doe Jimmy Kravitz Jimmy Kravitz In updating my sheet, I set up a macro that will input todays date in one of the columns for all occurences of that name (so, every row that contains John Doe in column B, column V will have todays date in it). Currently, in order for my macro to work properly, I have to manually make the activecell the first occurrence of 'John Doe'. When I'm ready to update 'Jimmy Kravitz', I have to select the first occurrence of 'Jimmy Kravitz' and so on. Here's my question - Is there a way to use a VBA macro to find the first occurrence of 'John Doe' (and automatically 'know' which name I am updating)? Basically, I need a macro that will take the information that is in the cell in column B in the active row, find the first row that has that same name, and make that cell (column B) the active cell...

Find Last Cell In Range, And Changing Another Cell Based On Offset Text
If i have a range say E12:O12 and want to find the last cell before blank, lets say it finds m12 as the cell with the value before blank. then with m12 it needs to determine weather row 11 in the same column has Text either "S" or "F" if "S" then m12 = t if "F" then m12 offset(1,-1) = t. And just to make things more difficult i need the range E12:O12 to step 2 as well until it gets to E208:O208 .Noting that row 11 never changes and will always have either an "S" Or an "F" and also t = time()

Go To Range Based On Cells Contents/Text
I am just learning VBA. I need to move to a cell location that is named in a range. As follows: The cell "Sheet2!A1" has a formula that results in "Sheet1!B3". I would like my VBA code to read that cell and select Sheet1!B3. When using something like: Application.GoTo Range("Sheet2!A1") I end up of course at Sheet!2A1. I want to end up at Sheet1!B3 or wherever the cell reads at the time the code is read and operated on.

Text Search Returns Cell Text Contents Of Different Column In The Same Row
Search a worksheet for a user defined text string, and have excell return the contents of a predetermined column in the same row in which the text string was found. A prepopulated worksheet has the text "gold" entered in cell T278. 1. user searches for "yellow_metal" 2. Excell finds "yellow_metal" in row 278, say in cell A278. 3. Excell then goes to predetermined column (programed as part of macro or VB), say "T", and returns the text contents of the cell in that column, T278 in this example. 4. Excell returns "gold"

Find Name Of Column Active Cell Is In

Find Method To Search For The Active And Non Active Values
I have a range of amounts in Sheet 1 from F7:Q13 and im using the find method to search for the active and non active values in the cell. Which means that if there's a value in the cell it will transfer the value in Sheet 2, if nothing is found in the cell the cells in Sheet 2 will return as nothing or null. I think the problem lies on the FindWhat variable. Im getting a compiled error which im not sure what is it. I've attached the spreadsheet so you get a better idea of the problem that i encountered.

Find Value & Return Contents Of Offset Cell
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?

Automatically Update A Protected Cell Based On Contents Of An Unprotected Cell
I am trying to find some VBA that will allow protected cells to be updated when a user enters or selects data in other cells. For example: Cell 'A1' starts out blank. Cell 'B1' has a drop down to select specific items. Cell 'C1' is the date of the order and is a locked cell. Cell 'D1' is the date of completion and is a locked cell. The worksheet is protected to prevent direct changes to cells C1 and D1. If a user enters any information in A1, then C1 displays the current date. If a user selects 'Complete' from the drop-down list in B1, then D1 displays the current date. Both of these actions are independant of one another. This format is the same for every cell in the 4 columns indicated above. I thought I was able to do this in another spreadsheet I created a year or so ago but I have not been able to figure out what I did and I do not have the spreadsheet to look at.

Get A Cell To Look At A Row Based On Contents
I want to have a cell that looks at another cell based on a number that is in another cell. So imagine if you will: A1 contains the number 25. A2 contains the formula I can't work out. I want it to look at the row that is the number contained in cell A1, so in this case it would look at row 25. Now I want to narrow it down further to a cell in that row but this will be a constant so lets say column F. So if A1=25 then A2 would display what ever is in F25. If cell A1 were 16 it would display the contents of F16 etc. The best I got was something like =IF(A1=>1,(F(A1))) but obviously that is wrong as it doesn't work.

Workaround For Public Variable Bug: Creates Different Cell Colors Based Upon The Cell Contents
I am in the process of reformatting an excel workbook to act as a review tool for different factors in a process. Part of my redesign includes the use of coding that creates different cell colors based upon the cell contents. The new workbooks will be used to handle existing data for this year. I have developed a process macro to open an existing workbook and copy and transfer the original data worksheet into the newly formatted workbook. The data gets transferred to the new worksheet and the resulting workbook is renamed and saved, Heres'' the rub... the newly saved workbook is missing all of the coding for the worksheets... apparently this is a MS bug. Has anyone figured a workaround for this. One thought I had is to open both( new and old )workbooks and rather than move/copy , i would transfer the data using cell references.

Calculating Total Based On Cell Contents

I currently have a spreadsheet with their names, times, and rates (see attached for example), but I calculate the amounts paid and due manually. If possible I would now like excel to do it. To explain further, 'J' gives me $10 per hour, and 'V' gives me $5 per hour. Cells shown in red show work done but not paid for. Cells shown in green show work done and paid for. I'd like excel to automatically create totals as shown on the spreadsheet, namely: Total due: xxxx Total paid: xxxx Total outstanding: xxxx At any time during the month I can be asked to take on more work - I would then enter the code into the spreadsheet for the hours requested...and I'd like the totals to be update automatically.

Delete Rows Based On Cell Contents
I have merged two workbooks into one. What I need to do at this point is to delete all rows that have a duplicate entry, basically anytime the cell content in one cell matches the cell content in the cell right below or above it, BOTH rows should be deleted. At this point, this is above my VBA skills so I'm asking for help in how to do this. The stripped version of the workbook is attached (only 100 rows) but in reality this is a huge workbook with almost 22,000 rows. You will notice in the attached workbook, that cell contents for A2 and A3 match. For what I need to do, I need both rows (2 and 3) to be deleted. If you go down a bit, starting in row 89 all the contents in column A are unique so those need to remain.

LOOKUP Range Based On Contents Of A Cell
I want to be able to send out one “master” workbook with the fourteen ranges, and use a pull-down list (or anything else) so when the user selects a state, the proper lookup range will be used. In the attached abbreviated example, I want the lookups in Column B to refer to the state designated in B2. In this case, the VLOOKUP works correctly, since Colorado zip codes are in the ColZip range. The people in Idaho or Oregon using this will only be working with their respective zip codes in ranges IdaZip or OreZip, so if they enter their state in B2, I would like the VLOOKUP to look in a different range. My whole idea is to only have one master workbook so I don’t have to create one for each district office. Maybe I’m thinking in a wrong direction altogether.

A Formula That References A Table Based On Contents Of Another Cell
Here is what I am trying to achieve: I have a workbook with two tabs, on the first one there is one column and the top of the column(A1) is a dropdown containing the options 'Boy' or 'Girl'. One the second worksheet I have two named tables (Boy and Girl) - these tables each contain a single column array with 5 names in each (so we have a table of 5 boys names and a table of 5 girls names) What I want to happen is when a user selects an option from the dropdown in A1 the cell below(A2) is populated randomly with a name from the corresponding list. I have achieved this initially using the following formula: =IF(A1="Boy", INDEX(Boy,RandInt(1,10)), INDEX(Girl,RandInt(1,10))) This works fine, but I will need to expand this for several dropdown options, so my new workbook will have a dropdown of car makes, and each make will have a list of the models associatied with the car make (e.g. Ford: Fiesta, Escort, Mondeo...) But I do not want to have a ridiculously long nested IF statement for every car Make, so what I want to do is something along the lines of the following: =INDEX([CONTENTS OF A1],RandInt(1,10)) So I use the text selected from the dropdown in A1 as the TableName in my formula - however, I cannot retrieve that to use in the formula without it coming back as a text with the "" included and my formula errors!

Select A Range Based On Active Cell Location?
I'm trying to select a range of cells whereby the range is dependent on the currently active cell. I know you can use the "Activesheet.Range("A1:D2").select" method to select a range where the cells are always the same, but I'm after a dynamic selection where the values can be programmatically altered depending on some other result. For example, let's say that I make a certain cell active (based on the result of some other formula), and I want to select the range of cells in the adjacent column that is X rows deep. Putting this into context, imagine the resultant active cell is B2, I then want to select the range C2:C10, but if the active cell is E10, the range selected would be F10:F18 (if active cell is X, then range would be Y:Z). The Offset function would allow me to position the cell based on the current active one, but it doesn't let me select a range. The Range function only lets you choose either hard coded or index cells, e.g. "Range(cells(y,z), cells(y,z)).select", but this is still no good because I'd need to know the index value of the active cell (can this be done?).
