Find Column Character Search Result
Jun 9, 2009
I'd like to search for text and get the column character where the cell with the found text. The combination the two 'demands'/formulae into one are giving me problems. And the fact that the column character can exist out of two characters I cannot solve.
I can get the column number with HLookup right? and it gives me the column number, not the character. I can solve this partially (and ugly even more) with =Char(((Hlookup etc)+64 (letter before A))).

Average.xlsxHi
I have changed the attachment to use CSV's
I am trying to create a report that I can enter the codes I am looking for and the formula will search the sheets within the report and once the results are found then find the average of those results.
What I am trying to do is search the codes from Sheet 1 under Outlet and ESA(in Blue) in sheet A,B and C. The problem is the ESA code seen in column I of A,B,C is only used when column L is empty in A,B,C.
Once the relevant codes are found I then need to look for the KPI's seen in sheet 1 B4, B6 and B8, they can be found in A,B,C in column R. then the result comes from column S in A,B or C.
Once the result is found for each code I want to find the average of them, with the answer to populate in yellow in sheet 1
I want the formula to be able to handle more or less codes as well as adjust the formula so I can add more sheets(possible D,E,F,G etc)

way I can search a particular column, and when results are found, copy the rows where the results are to a new worksheet? And perhaps reuse the same worksheet (so clear the sheet on every execution)
I have tried auto and advanced filter but its not really working to my liking....

Basically, I need to look for an item, lets use "apple" as an example, in a range of cells, A1:D100. Then the corresponding result would be in another column in the same row.

What i have so far is:
-3 Sheets (Sheet1 - Search, Sheet2 - Data, Sheet3 - Result)
-Sheet1 has a userform ready to link up - this opens up when workbook and worksheet is activated.
-Sheet2 has some example data to search - the search is for column 1 (see attachment)
-Sheet3 has a template ready for the data to be pasted to.
I would like the search result is column 1 to copy the data from columns 1 to 7 to sheet3.
I want the template/layout to remain after the pasting of results. (everything protected from editing, if possible).
Once finished (ie go back to sheet1, i want the data from sheet3 to be cleared.)

I'm trying to find the largest number in a row and then have the column heading (text) as the result. I can find the largest number by using =max(numb1, numb2 ....) but then how do I get the heading of the column as the result. An example of what I want to happen is below
Red
Green
Blue

I anticipate an issue where 2 columns have the same largest number and not sure how to over come this either with multiple answers

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.

I have a column with values like this
SW SW SW CO CO PD MDM
I use this line of code to determine the text
Set rFound = Sheets("ProductCount").Rows(14). Find(What:=sProduct, LookIn:=xlValues, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext)
ProdRow = rFound.Column
where sProduct contains values such as SW , CO. Now, when I use rFound to query SW, it finde me this first occuring SW. I have this inside a for loop. When it goes and queries again, it should get me the next occuring SW, not the first SW that it searched for me.

I am building a Workbook which takes data from SheetA and inserts it into SheetB.
Part of the data is only entered when a positive value exists.
I then do an export from SheetB.
The problem is that I need to get the column number and pass it to the cell reference based on the field name in row 1.
Dim sFindstring As String
Dim rFindcell As range
Dim iR As Integer
Dim iC As Integer
sFindString = " Find this string in the cell"
'Using cells find the findstring
Set rFindCell = Cells.Find(What:=sFindString, After:=[A1], LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious)
'OK so look here
iR = 3
'I am trying to pick up the column number
iC = rFindCell.Column
rFindCell throws an object or with block variable not set error. Is there some property that I need to set.

just had 11,000 customer account arrive and they are all messed up!
I am working through all the email address's and lots are not valid ones, is there a way i can make some sort of rule that willl do the following
If ther is no @ symbol, in Cells A ( any of A ) it drops them to the bottom of the list, or anything that just splits them up
Eg
fWGHFUI@JHEGF.COM
EFHWHEF@WEGFIW.COM
EKFGWIGF@YTRQUH.CO.UK
HJGIWEROPQWRP@WEYIO.COM
ASFHWIEGFIUQWEFH.COM
EHFIOQH12.CO.UK
This would split the bottom 2 email address away from the others as they dont have the @ symbol!

I need to get rid of the questions marks in the text on my sheet, but am unable to get my VBA code to search for an actual question mark and not the wildcard. I'm using the replace function as follows:
wsReport. Cells = wsReport.Cells.Replace("?", "")
1. What's the trick to searching for wildcard characters?
2. Is there a slicker way to do this?

I have a requirement... which need to search from a cel if it march then replace with below name. When user gives a selection screen, month displays in a cell A1.
For example: If this cel (A1) is jan then it should replace with Jan, if mar then replace with mar, if MAI then replace with MAY, if sep then replace with SEP, if OKT then replace with OCT.... and so on...
or
It search the cell A1 for MAI, then replace with MAY & also should search for if A1 is OKT then replace OCT, & also if A1 is DZC then replace with DEC.
I know the function of ....
[=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("*MAI*",A1)),"MAY",A1)] =
This formula brings me only 1 search, but I need 3 search if match replace with respective character. this should search for OKT & DZC ALSO....
present - new
JAN - JAN
FEB - FEB
MAR - MAR
APR - APR
MAI - MAY
JUN - JUN
JUL - JUL
AUG - AUG
SEP - SEP
OKT - OCT

In a cell(s) I have for example {text}dd%2BMore_Text}
what i want to do is search and replace the final }
so it should be {text}dd%2BMore_Text
the regular search and replace in excel removes all } which is not what i need.

I have a sheet that I often have to edit and import into SQL database.
I have no control over the format of the sheet given to me and it seems that something has changed causing me the following problem.
When I try to import the Data it’s showing ten times as many items than are actually there.
The problem I think is in a text column. I’ve tested this by using an old column from a previous sheet and pasting this into the new sheet and I can import it ok.
What I seem to have is a rectangular box character but I’m not sure what it is.
I can copy and past it into Notepad as it is, but pasted into Word it seems to be a carriage Return.
So whether it’s an actual charter or not I’m not sure.
Are there any tools out there so I can hover over characters in Excel to see what it is! So at least I can be sure what I’m trying to Search and Replace?

I'm working again with a large Inventory Database dump into a workbook and in the past the company appended the * character to designate an updated price on an item(column C). Its rocking my world to sort through things with this character as you can tell. I'm trying to find rows that column C has a * in, cut, and paste them into another sheet called "Updated". I would even accept just how I'd do a simple "find/replace all" on that character and then I can just update my macro and be on my way Anyway this is the macro thus far and as you can see it would just cut all rows and paste them to "Updated".
Sub Updated()
With Worksheets(1).Columns("C")
Set c = .Find("*", LookIn:=xlValues)
If Not c Is Nothing Then
firstAddress = c.Address
Do
c.EntireRow.Cut Destination:=Worksheets("Updated"). Range("A" & Worksheets("Updated").Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Row + 1)
Set c = .FindNext(c)
Loop While Not c Is Nothing And c.Address <> firstAddress
End If
End With
End Sub

I have a spreadsheet that I have to extract from a web based report at work. The problem is that the column that contains the department name also contains the department code in brackets. For example cell A2 will have: (DE) Department A and cell A3 may be (DEPT) Department B.
Now as seen in the example above a code can range from 2 to 4 letters. I wondered if there was a way in code that would search for the ')' character and copy that to the M column and then copy the department name into the N column. So M2 would have 'DE' and column N2 will have 'Department A'.
Also in column G contains the grade name and grade point which are separated by a '/' I would like this to be copied to 2 separate cells say O2 and P2 and so on.
I know this can be done by a formula but I have to do this every month and it would be nice to just click a button to run a macro in my personal.xls file.
The row number various and are usually several thousand. I have attached a sample spreadsheet that only contains 4 rows of data.

i have been using a code that "Joe Was" wrote on this forum the code search all cells for a word i type and then copy the rows where the word was found into a new sheet. my problem is that the code overwrites the rows, so only one line is shown even when the result box say it finds 10 results.
Public Sub FindText()
Dim ws As Worksheet, Found As Range
Dim myText As String, FirstAddress As String
Dim AddressStr As String, foundNum As Integer
myText = InputBox("Enter text to find")
If myText = "" Then Exit Sub
Worksheets("Søkeside").Cells.ClearContents
For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets......
Do
foundNum = foundNum + 1
AddressStr = AddressStr & .Name & " " & Found.Address & vbCrLf
Set Found = .UsedRange.FindNext(Found)
Found.EntireRow.Copy _
Destination:=Worksheets("Søkeside").Range("A2").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0)
Sheets("Søkeside").......
If Len(AddressStr) Then
MsgBox "Found: """ & myText & """ " & foundNum & " times." & vbCr & _
AddressStr, vbOKOnly, myText & " found in these cells"
Else:
MsgBox "Unable to find " & myText & " in this workbook.", vbExclamation

I am trying to position the cursor in a spreadsheet column based on the data within the column but am struggling with the software to do it.
What I have is:
(a) A column (A:A) containing a mix of up to 500 numbers (1 to 3 digit) and a few text entries (1 to 6 char). These form the basis of a movement log where say 100 different drivers (each with unique identity) are logged in and out, so there will be duplicates.
(b) A number of other columns logging task/times etc but the one I am interested in (B:B), contains a tick (martlet font "a") to denote the driver has departed.
What I want to do when a driver departs, is have a quick way of finding (from the top down) the row containing the drivers number (A:A) where the driver logged in, but has not yet departed (so I can tick him out!).
So from the top: find the first row (in A:A) matching a specific number/string, where B:B is also blank and position the cursor at B"x").
I have imagined a "button" with data entry at the top of the sheet being the easiest physical way of doing it but am open to offers.
Can the Cursor (or cell?) be highlighted as well, because this is not always easy to see in bright light.

i've been using an IF function in order to display a certain value when one or more criteria are met in one cell in one specific worksheet. here's how it looks like:
=IF(OR(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("value1",Worksheet1!A1)),ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Value2",Worksheet1!A1))),"yes","no" )
with different values and names.. but it's just to give you the idea of what kind of function it is. this one works perfectly, but i also needed another one in which the logical test range is no longer only one cell, but more, thus a selection. i wrote the same formula, but instead of the "A1" i wrote for example "A1:A20" which i thought it would work.. but it doesn't. even more surprising, when i open the insert function (the helping wizard that pops up when i click the "fx" button on the left of the function string) and i put in the logical test, at the bottom of the window it says the correct result (ie: yes). but on the actual worksheet, the cell displays the wrong result (no). i know there are no errors in the formula, so i really don't know how to solve the problem.

how to create a simple form that would search a sheet for a word and display the list of resulting rows - something similar to Adobe Reader 7 Search functionality ?
If I was having administrator privileges on this PC, I would simply install Cygnus and use its "grep" command on a CSV file but without that possibility, it's rather cumbersome to search an Excel sheet when you need to do it repetitively, and I need to locate a specific row each time without knowing the exact content of the cell (only searching for one or another word I know the cell contains).

I have a userform that with a combobox called "complaintdis". This combobox displayes all the records in column A of worksheet "ComplaintData". When user selects any record from that dropdown list, it populates the other related fields on labels on the same userform. This part is working fine.
when user is looking at any displayed record on the userform (displayed via labels), I want user to be able to add comment that will get added to the column J of worksheet "ComplaintData".
I can workout a way to send this input data from textbox (called "txtcloser") to the column J, but I am struggling to figure out a way to link that comment to the specific record.
As there are number of entries in the worksheet "ComplaintData" , user should be able to select any record (via combobox) in no specific order and leave a comment.
