Find Exact Value Within Range And Tell Value In Corresponding Column?
Jul 1, 2013
I have a list of names in column A1:A20 and have a number im trying to match within cell A22.,
The data with all the values in is B1:K20.
what im trying to do is find the exact number (somewhere within the B1:K20 field) and then tell me what the corresponding name is in Column A1:20.
Ive tried match, vlookup, array, all with no success. i can match it 1 row at a time but cant get it to work when there is more than 1 column to look in.
I am having a slight VBA issue I need a little help with. I have created a catalog of books in Column A. As each new letter is reached there is a new heading. For example:
Cell A1 : A Cell A2 : Book beginning with A #1 Cell A2 : Book beginning with A #2 Cell A3 : Book beginning with A #3 Cell A4: B Cell A5 : Book beginning with B #1 Cell A6 : Book beginning with B #2 Cell A7 : Book beginning with B #3 Cell A8 : C etc.
What I am looking to do is create a macro for each letter so that if I went to the "B" macro it would make the active cell A4. However the list of books will grow as my library does, so the macros have to find the letter rather than go to a predefined cell.
The code I have so far is (this example is for the letter B):
Sub B() Columns("A:A").Select Selection.Find(What:="B", After:=ActiveCell, _ LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _ SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:=False, _ SearchFormat:=False).Activate ActiveCell.Select End Sub
However this code finds the first time the letter B is used in a word, not the cell that only has the letter B in it. Also I need to make sure that if the active cell when the macro is run is below the letter that it needs to find that it will still find it. I'm not sure if my current code would do that or not.
I went through all the forums but confused a little. In the work sheet I want Excel to find an exact word such as letter "a" in all over the work sheet (not a column name) and paste it to the destination work sheet. I am attaching an example file, can some help me to solve the problem.
Dim c, DataRow With Data Set c = . Range("A5:A350"). Find(KPI, LookIn:=xlValues) If Not c Is Nothing Then DataRow = c.Row End If End With
Now,If KPI is for example = "Favourite Hotel" and if i have data that looks like :
Favourite Hotel - London Favourite Hotel - Cardiff Favourite Hotel Favourite Hotel - Birmingham
Then it seems to not look be looking for an exact match (e.g. Favourite Hotel) and rather is finding the first item in the list that contains the KPI string (E.g. Favourite Hotel - London).
I am using the above code to find and remove data, at present the code does not find the exact match.
For instance if someone enters as it will remove any entry with as in it.
I want it to only remove specific data, so if someone types in as, and as is not in the list to look through I wan't them to recieve a message telling them to check spelling and enter exact value of data to be removed.
IE (enter Blauv to remove Blauv, Not BL and remove Blauv, Black, Blue)
The find method has a lookat arguement which you can define as xlwhole or xlpart, by default it is set to xlpart.
If you have a cell containing Blauv
.find("Bl") will find it, .find("Bl", lookat:=xlwhole) will not.
I have a series of numbers in cells A1 to A5, e.g: 5,15,19,3,105 now my target value is 23. Is this possible that we can come to know which values we can sum to get our target value. in this case cells sum of A1,A2,A4 is 23 which is my target value.
in the same way i will set other target value , it should show which are the number which should be summed to get my target value.
I'm trying to create a macro that will take a value found on Sheet 1 in Column A and search Sheet 2 Column D. If the value matches exactly it will highlight the row on Sheet 2 in Red and if a match is found but it has some extra characters in the list it will highlight the row in Yellow. I have included a sample sheet to show you exactly how the outcome should look. It will need to run on a loop until there are no more values found in Column A on sheet 1.
This macro finds and replaces multiple values found on another sheet. however, it does not only take the exact value, also others. Example:
If i want to change "Example 1", "Example 2", ... "Example 10" into "One", "two", etc. Example 10 then changes into "One 0" because it changes the Example 1 (without the 0 in 10) into One. Is there any way to alter this (or do you have another macro to replace multiple values?
I'm trying to find an exact match to a cell and not xlPart of it, but not sure what the syntax is, (Always where can I find a list of the properties?
Code:
Set Ran2 = Worksheets("TicketsList").Range("B8:IV200").Find(Count, lookat:=xlPart) If Not Ran2 Is Nothing Then CallRow = Ran.Row CallCol = Ran.Column End If
This section of code I am working on requires me to find an exact text (I tried lookat:=xlWhole, but I can't get it to work right). The problem being is when it searches for Q1, Q10 is an acceptable answer ans so on. I need to get the 4th occurrence, but my research into Nth occurrence stuff is confusing.
The search is in a single column.
With Workbooks("FY12-Q3 Data Tables.xlsx").Sheets("PBA Crosstabs").Columns(1) Set c = .Find(rCell, LookIn:=xlValues, lookat:=xlWhole) Set c = .Find(rCell, After:=c, lookat:=xlWhole) Set c = .Find(rCell, After:=c, lookat:=xlWhole) Set c = .Find(rCell, After:=c, lookat:=xlWhole) End With
Is it possible to find duplicate rows that are not EXACT identical. Conditional formatting can find duplicate rows but they must be identical exactly(ofcourse)(even extra SPACE,COMMA,DOT wont find duplicates)
I have name and address(street address) columns. I don not want my invitation cards or mails go to same address twice.
As you can see in the file ..all 5 records belong to same address.(address entered in diff styles,some comma,space extra..etc) 4 and 5 are Son and Wife of 1st person. Row 5 and 6 have same text but one extra space in 5th row makes it unique so i need to eliminate such records with same address So can i set some formula so that duplicate rows will be highlighted if any 3-4 words match ?
In the four rows of text below I'm trying to match each gas stick to its corresponding gasline.
I think I can count over to "GAS STICK" and get the number. <15> From that point I can count over to "," (comma) and get that number. <26> So the gas stick will be between the first number and one less than the second number. <GAS STICK 1>
I need completing this code to place a the line or stick number in a cell B of the same row. Column A would have the description and column B of the same row would either be "1" or "11" respectively. Column C would be the shortened description (GAS STICK 1).
I have "systems" that have multiple "units". I what to sum values for units that have EXACT MATCH in the system column. Example data is below.
I am trying things like =SUMIF(B:B,"EXACT MATCH",C:C)
How do I express exact match? For example the first 3 in the list I would want to return a value of 9. Note: Lists can have up to 3000 rows and > 1000 system ID's.
I has number sheets with thousands rows of unsort data. I need to find the price, with optional name and date if given, to return the rows values.
Example from Summary sheet, to find the price range and return 3 rows (even there are four set of answers, highlighted in light blue), with sorting the highest price first.
I am new to VBA and am having difficulties in getting a find function to successfully locate search criteria within cell. When the search criteria matches exactly that of the cell contents then the code works; however should the search criteria only form part of the total cell contents (such as a seach for "the" in a cell containing "the cat sat on the mat") the code doesn't recognise it.
Essentially, I need the code to search a range for the required string and if found within a cell activate that cell and populate a combobox with the full cell contents of the activecell.offset(0,-2).
The relevant section of code attached below:
Dim role_count as range Dim role as string
If Application.WorksheetFunction.CountIf(Range("Role_Count"), Role) 0 Then Range("role_count").Select Selection.Find(What:=Role, After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt:= _ xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:=False _ , SearchFormat:=False).Activate
I have a file with duplicate names of test id's in col a. In col b I have single test id's and col c I have test names. I need to search col a for exact match of test id in col b and if it is there then put the name of test in col c into col d.
See attached document. Basically I need to know the name associated with the ID in column B.
I have a 2 groups of column headings with a different month and year in each heading so
1st Group of columns range Columns AJ through AX Column Heading example "Expense Ratio February 2013......next Column over is "Expense Ratio March 2013"
2nd Group of columns range AY though CE Column Heading example "Capital Balance February 2013......next Column over is "Capital Balance March 2013"
Each new month I need to add a new Expense Ratio column after the most recent expense ratio Column. (i.e. Find "Expense Ratio March 2013" and I need to add a column after that with heading "Expense Ratio April 2013"
Same thing for Capital Balance - add a new Capital Balance column after the most recent Capital Balance Column. (i.e. Find "Capital Balance March 2013" and I need to add a column after that for "Expense Ratio April 2013"
Because the ranges keep changing month over month, how do i do this.
I have a work book with 2 sheets and am trying to compare 2 columns in sheet 1 with 2 colums in sheet 2. In both the sheet one column among the 2 is off date and other one is some numbers.
I am looking for formula or macro which would compare the cols and highlight if date is common in sheet 1 and 2 and if so then it should compare the corresponding number from sheet 2 to sheet.
I am aware the above can be done using vlookup but in my case the numbers in sheet 2 are not exactly same. it would be withing a range of +300 to -300. Below is the example
Sheet 1
B C
1-Feb-13 394,907.66
[Code] ....
Sheet 2 K L
394709.5 1-Feb-13
3,222,800 1-Feb-13
In the above example when we compare 1-Feb-13 is common in both the sheet and data when compared it not exact but in the range of (+300 to -300) so these should get highlighted, not to forget even exact value should get highlighted.
How can i filter a column to show me all the cells containing the word "on" when i try to filter i still get results like canyon or ontario etc which i dont need.
I have an excel file, with roughly 1000 rows and about 6 columns per sheet of data, and about 10 sheets. I need to find combinations of numbers (in a single row) that match exactly with any of the other sheets.
For example, if Sheet 1 row 345 has the values (5,8,10,100,35,49), I want to find any other rows in any other sheets (including the sheet with row 345 values) that match exactly (5,8,10,100,35,49) and somehow identify a matching pair (possibly highlighting the cells).
I want to search every row in every sheet with all the rows/sheets in the excel file.
We could also probably add up all the values in a row into a 7th column, and find any of those #'s that match throughout the project (only in the 7th column), and I can go through and manually look for combinations myself.
I have a number that I'd like to see ranked within a separate range. Ie if the number is 25 and I want to see how it would be ranked if it were in a range of:
3 43 12 19 22 7 88
(The answer would be 3 - 3rd highest). The RANK formula requires an exact match...
It works, unless there is a column before the "Categories" column that has the word "Categories" somewhere in its text. So basically if there is a column that has "Unit Categories" it finds that column when I really want it to find a column that has exactly "Categories" as the text and nothing else (but I don't want it to be case sensitive).
The objective of the code is to determine if a value in Column A exists:
- If it does, then copy data from a different worksheet into the row of the worksheet where the value resides - if it doesnt, then go to the last used row in Column A and add then copy data from a different worksheet into the new row
The portion of the code im having trouble with involves the Finding of the value in Column A, and also the error handling when it doesnt find it.
The code below doesn't handle the error correctly.. for the data set im running the code on, it should find a value in Column A (which it does) but then it also runs the ErrHandler portion..which shouldnt happen.. it should only run the ErrHandler portion if it cant find the value in Column A (which therefore means a new record is required)
Sub UpdateRecords() Dim fitem As String Dim nmax As Integer Dim nRow As Integer Dim rFoundCell As Range
I have attached a file to make this easier. Basically I would like to search "Points Scored" (B2:W9) for the highest score (which I already have done) and when it is found return the team's name that is associated with it. Then do this for the second, third, etc. as it can be seen in the "Main" sheet. I'm thinking an index/find approach, but I just keep getting "N/A".
I need a formula to find the maximum value in C1:E9 and return the corresponding number in column A. In this instance, the answer would be 12. I've been trying to make it work with a combination of Offset and Max formulas, but since the maximum could be in any one of three columns, I don't know how to make it work.
