Find Word In Range Cells Containing Other Strings

Aug 18, 2008

I am having a hard time creating a code that would search the exact string in a cell. See sample scenario below.

1. I have a string "hello" to be searched.

2. I will search the whole string in each cell in a previously declared range.

3. If in a cell i found "kdhlsk hellodsiewjls", although "hello" string is there,
the code should still return 0.

4. But if in a cell, i found "kjdsfel ljsdlkue hello luoeww", then the code should return 1.

I have already created a code, but it will always return 1 in step#3.

Find Multiple Strings And Clear Corresponding Range?

May 17, 2008

I am currently trying to write a macro that will search a column for different strings. These strings are inside the cell (as in it is not the only value in the cell) and then copy the entire cell over to another column, then delete the two cells to the right of the originally found cell.

Heres an example of what I want to:

There are four columns, the first has a name with both the first and last (amanda white)the second just the first name (amanda), the third just the last name(white), and the forth an organization name. if the first column contains an organzation name, it has to clear out the first name and last name columns, and copy the name column to the organization column.

NAME | FIRST | LAST| ORG|
amanda white amanda white
mike jones mike Jones
pizza hut pizza hut

I have a list of organization keywords to search the first column (e.g. enterprise, variety, management, pizza). I want it to recongnise the "pizza", copy that entire cell over to the organization column and delete the first name and last name for that row.I've been trying to modify a code like this but i can't seem to make anything work.

VB:
FindWhat = "pizza"
For Each Cell In Range("B2", Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)) [code]....

SUMIF When Cells Contain Strings Found In Range Of Cells?

Jun 20, 2014

I'm looking for a function (I'm thinking 'SUMIF') that will search through column A of Sheet 1 and add column B of Sheet 1 when the cell in column A contains one of the strings listed in column A of Sheet 2. I can only find information when searching for single strings or cells.

Look For Various Strings Within Range Of Cells Plus SUMPRODUCT

Jan 9, 2013

I have a series of incident reports (some of which are injuries), and I'm calculating the number of incidents per body part per month using:

=SUMPRODUCT((ISNUMBER(FIND($D4,owssvr!$Q$2:$Q$2188)))*(MONTH(owssvr!$A$2:$A$2188)
=MONTH(math!F$2))*(YEAR(owssvr!$A$2:$A$ 2188)=YEAR(math!F$2)))

In which D4 is the body part (Neck, for example), owssvr is the sheet with the records being summarized and F2 contains the month being queried.

The problem I'm having is that I want to calculate data for a region of the body (head & neck), which will include count any record that has a part of that body region (nose, face, eye, tooth) mentioned in the affected area text. If I simply sum all the values calculated for each body part, records that include multiple parts (e.g. "scratched nose and eye") will be counted twice.

Can I calculate whether a range of cells for the incidents contains any of a specified range of body parts (listed in D4:D15), but do this for each month, and count each record only once (e.g. "cut nose" = 1 record, "cut nose & eye" = 1 record).

Formula For Counting Number Of Occurrences Within Range Of Cells AND Strings

Jan 14, 2014

I'm looking for the easiest way to count the number of occurrences within a cell range.

The formula that I'm currently using is:

=COUNTIF(D$5:D$8,"a*")

This counts the number of cells that start with 'a' and returns the sum. It seems to work fine, but when I try to make it look for more values in the range it gives me an error. For example;

When I want to find multiple values in the range and count them all, I use this formula:

=COUNTIF(D$5:D$8,OR("a*","b*","c*"))

Count Amount Of Cells Within Range That Contain Multiple Strings Of Text

Apr 22, 2013

I'm trying to build a formula that counts the amount of cells within a range that contain multiple strings of text within the same cell. I only know how to build a formula that snags cells that contain 1 but not 2 different ones within the same cell. For example: I want to count cells if they have the word BALL and STICK somewhere in the cell....see three cell examples below

gameballnetstick
ballgame
stick ball
tenballs
green stick

Of the three examples: it would only count cells: gameballnetstick and stickball

Macro To Find Word And Delete Group Of Cells?

Aug 1, 2014

I have an excel file, where there is a section "Additional Requirements". This section is repeated like 20-25 times in the sheet and has a group of merged cells below it to enter data as shown in the picture. Issue is that majority of these "Additional Requirements" are not filled by the user. Hence maybe only 3 or 4 are filled and I have to manually delete the rest. I tried the code below, but it doesn't do anything.Running the macro just jumps the cells slowly downwards the sheet. Maybe if the macro runs 10-15 times it reads the whole code and then moves on to the next row.8-1-2014 12-43-27 PM.png What I'm trying to achieve is:

1. for the macro to find "Additional Requirements"

2. Then check the Merged cell below it (thus the offset)

3. If this cell is blank, select this cell and the cell containing "Additional Requirements"

4. Delete entire rows of these cells/delete the selection (entirerow.delete). (I read somewhere to set a variable as selection and clear it, hence ive included in the unreadable code. This wasn't working either)

I have a sheet where in one column, the word "high" will be repeated. I need to find these multiples and then list down in a seperate column the text relevant to each of those multiples (contained in an adjacent cell). I.e if A1 & A3 hold the text "high", take the corresponding values in b1 & B3 and list them in new column C (C1 & C2 continuing in sequential order). I have searched the forums but i can' t seem to find anything.

VBA Code To Change Font Colour Of Cell Referenced Letter Strings Within Range Of Cells

Jun 13, 2014

I am working on a spreadsheet for work, and have managed to do everything I need to so far but I need to colour specific letter strings, certain colours within a range of cells (each letter string will only appear once on each sheet)

The strings I will be looking for vary depending on data entered so I will need to cell reference them

The strings that need colouring are in cells with other strings that must stay black (They cannot be separated from other strings due to the nature of the grid)

I need some strings red, some green, and some blue.

These changes should also apply to the whole workbook not just one sheet.

Is there a way to do this with the VBA code.

VBA - Search For Multiple Text Strings In Data Field And If Matched Return One Word

May 7, 2014

I have hundreds of records of customer info and I am trying to categorize the job titles so that I can conduct some analysis with a pivot table. My problem is that there is about 20 different ways and variations of "manager" so Instead of autofiltering for "mrg." "Manager" "marketing manager" ect. and then replacing the text manually and using the enter and fill process (to create some standardization to compare "manager" to "director" to "c-level" to "consultant", etc.) and repeating this process over and over again...

I would like to create a VBA that would search the column "job title" for multiple text strings at once and if the text string was true in the cell then the cell would be replaced by a new text string "Manager". I was thinking a series of if functions within one vba but I am not sure if this is possible.

2003 - Conditional Formatting: Find Cells That Have The Word "managment"

I am trying to use conditional formatting to find cells that have the word "managment" in the text. The problem I am having is that the cells may contain a paragraph and the word may be embedded in the paragraph. I need to either high the word or the paragraph. I can get it to work if only the word "management" is in the cell but not when I add other words to it. I have tried using *management* but this didn't work.

How To Find A Row That Has 2 Or More Strings In Any Cell

Feb 18, 2014

I'm just trying to view the results of this search, I don't need it to make changes to the cells on the bases of this search.

I'm using control + F to open the search box.

It only allows me to type in one single string, such as "Johnson". Problem is, it finds many rows that contain the name Johnson.

So I'd like to further add a number, such as 1.3338, which it can look for in any cell that's on the same ROW where it found Johnson.

It would then return, for example, Row number 81, which has a cell that contains Johnson and another cell that contains 1.3338.

Find Matched Value In A Range For Named Cell Then Copy Range Cells Below

Aug 6, 2013

I need method, using a button, that looks at a cell--say EO2, for example--, looks back on a master worksheet at a specified row and range for a match, then looks at the information from a specified range below the matching cell (The information in this column will either be blank or have an "X" in the cell), and then those rows that do not have an "X" will be hidden in the corresponding rows in the working worksheet. Therefore, if at any time the value in "EO2" ever changes, then it will automatically find a new match and repopulate and hide information as before. About 130 columns will have its own button so that a "query" can be made that depends on the information in a particular cell in that column.

The master worksheet now has matrix of 287 rows and 58 columns. Each row is for an operating procedure and each column shows a job code. An "X" in a coordinate cell for a column/row shows whether that job code is responsible for knowing that operating procedure. So, on the working sheet, an employee's primary job code is given underneath his or her name. When the button is pushed, all the operating procedures not required for a given person will be hidden and only the required ones will remain visible--grouped, if you will. Qualification dates will be easier to see now that the information is consolidated. Whenever someone transfers to a new position, a new code will be inputed on the working sheet. When the button is pushed, a new grouping will result. Any operating instructions that overlap will still have qualification dates, so that information will not need to be transcribed.

Forcing Cells To ALWAYS Find MIN And MAXIMUM Values From A Specific Range Of Cells

Feb 1, 2010

I'm working on a project for my company. We make plastic tanks and for quality control we want to start recording the thickness of the tanks in different areas/zones of each tank.

Attached to this message is an Excel sheet that I've been working on. From "Sheet 1", it records inputted thicknesses into WorkSheet "1098". On the top of "1098", it shows all of the recordings, and just below that are the "10 Most Recent Entries".

Right below the "10 Most Recent Entries", there are formulas to calculate the Min and Max Values. Whenever a new entry is recorded, the selected cells for the Min and Max formulas change. Is there a way to force the cells to always stay the same?
