Is there a way to define the end of a cell in a find/replace? I.e. I want to find characters like this:
;;[space character][end of cell]
and replace with
[end of cell]
(that is just delete the ;;[space character] bit when it is followed by end of cell)
I'm using a large database - excel based, with lots of VBA and macros inside - where the default decimal format is “.” (period). When I copy and paste into a normal excel workbook format I want to replace the periods with comas. The paste function I'm using is “Match Destination Formatting (M)”.
I've recorded a macro to replace all of the periods with comas - still some of the values come up as a whole number, the period not being replaced with the coma.
I've tried almost all of the formats - text, general, number .... Still does not work.
I am trying to create a macro where it finds a a certain word in a column for example C. What i want it to do is find anything that says FWD_EUR and then replace that cell (e.g C2) with CASH_EUR_FWD and after it has done that it replaces the adjacent cell (e.g. D2) with EUR_FWD. I then want this to do the same with FWD_USD to CASH_USD_FWD and adjacent cell to USD_FWD.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a file that I import into excel and append to the end of the last free position, However my totals are slightly out when compared to the main system.
I have found the reason why, they randomly slips in a Credit or credits.
So I have the scenario column P has a txt field and the majority of the time it has SI (Invoice) however when they issue a credit the txt becomes SC.
The annoying bit is that Column L has a value but it is not a negative number i.e. 75 where it should be -75
I can do an iF then and find the SC or SC's and I can place some text in Column L but I would like to be able to take the value in L and make it a negative number.
This problem has come up fairly frequently lately, and I'm not sure how to fix it, or if this is by design...but in Excel 2003 I can't seem to do a "Find and Replace" based on the value of a cell. I can do a find, based on cell value, but the moment I change to the replace tab, the "values" and "comments" are missing from the "look in" dropdown.
I've only noticed this when I'm trying to replace on a filtered list, so I'm not sure if that is part of the issue.
Perhaps an alternative way of arriving at the same goal. Basically I have a worksheet with a number of filtered columns. They are filtered just right, using custom filtering, and so I do not want to undo the filters. In some columns I have formulas that are returning #VALUE! errors. I'd like to replace all of these cells with NA.
As part of a macro i do a find and replace on a range cells that replaces "/1" with nothing (""). Therefore 2/1 becomes 2, what i don't want though is if the de-nominator includes a 1 but not only 1 to keep the whole of the de-nominator, say 8/11 does not want to become 8/1.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI need help with a formula (no VBA) that will find all the semi-colons ";" and pound signs "#" in a cell and replace them with this "<br> - ".
Example of Cell A1: ;#Red;#Green;#Blue;#
I started with this:
=REPLACE(MultChoice,SEARCH(";#",MultChoice),1,"<br> - ")
but it only replaces the first character.
I recently became owner of a spreadsheet with some issues, and I am trying to make it useful. Each row has a URL of a blog post, and I want to extract the date from it (which is present in each URL) while getting rid of the rest of the URL. I was able to get rid of everything up to the year (which comes first), but then the URL continues, for example, 2013/05/16/the-rest-of-the-url/ and I would like to just have 2013/05/16 remain.
I am trying to use find and replace with the find box reading 2013/??/??/*/ and replacing it with 2013/??/?? which effectively erases everything else in the url, but leaves ?? instead of the numbers. Is there any way to have it so that it keeps whatever was in the original box?

Trying to repeat a 550 or so character statement with a find/replace however I am getting type mismatch errors. When I use a smaller message in the "replace" it works.
I need it to post a message exactly as long as what I have in there. How do I get it to work?
Need assistance with the code for catching errors when using the find / replace function in excel? In particular, I am trying to write code to break to an error message when the value or string searched for isn't found in the find / replace. At the minute I have just copied the standard code using a macro and all this does is return a message box saying X entries replaced.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWhat I have is an output of about 30 worksheets of individual stock data in a workbook, all with the same column headings, laid out like the following (so that the Column Headings are stock data as recorded on the Date in Column A):
<Stock Name>
<Date> <Price> <Price to Book> <etc.>
with the stock titles also as the names of the worksheet.
What I want to do is create a macro that outputs to a single worksheet where I can input the stock name and a certain date for the stock, and then have it insert the appropriate row from the stock's worksheet underneath.
So, if I say I want the data for Stock A on March 24, 2007, I can input those two and have it output the appropriate rows from the worksheet.
Or, more generally, I can create a list of stock names and dates, and have the macro output that data underneath.
multiple search match and replace content in a different column so for example
new workbook (look up table)
sku
search1
search2
[Code]....
so something like where you compare two tables and find and replace based on another cell that matches in my sku.. more details would be if the table column aren't exactly matching but the column header and the row header would match and fill or replace in the correct/corresponding cell is there a macro or vba to do this job in excel?
how I could find 1 character and replace the entire cell. For example, it would find "<12", "<3", and "<32" based on "<" and then replaced that entire cell with "N/A".

I need a macro that will change the part of the formula that is "CI10001G" to the value of cell A2 which would basically be something along the lines of "CI10004D" so the formula would change to the following:

I am looking for a formula that can automatically calc (B3) to 106 (based upon cell A3) if the cell has a value of (*out*).
I want to have a macro that will look at a few cells say A1 & A2 and then use the contents of the cells say 1Q07 & 2Q07 respectively to do a find and replace find 1Q07 and replace it with 2Q07. I want it to use the contents of the cell and not just the text because the contents of the cell will change each time used. I tride to do it here but I dont have it yet. It doesnt seem to pass the value to the variable and the variable doesnt seem to do the find and replace.

I need to find the "x" in range C2:C44 and replace it with a value (variable) specified in cell I2
The catch is that I then need to be ablt to change that character when I2 changes.
Coloum C
*VER
*TxSTATUS
*ON
*OFF
*TxBANDS
EG
I2 - Variable = B
*TxSTATUS will become *TBSTATUS
I2 - Variable = A
*TxSTATUS will become *TASTATUS
But " *OFF " should not change.
I can change *TxSTATUS to *TBSTATUS but then I can change *TBSTATUS to *TASTATUS
Please see attached example file as it shows it better than I can explain it.
I have one sheet in my workbook called 'mapping' which has a list of codes on it, the length of which will vary on a periodic basis.
I have another fairly large sheet on the workbook called 'data' (around 2000 rows) that will also vary in size. I want to do a search on the data tab for each code that is contained on column 4 of the mapping tab and if the code is found, enters the corresponding value from column 1 of the mapping tab to the cell 6 columns to the left of where the code was found on the data tab (cols H and B in this case).
The issue I have is the codes maybe contained more than once on the data tab so I need the find/replace command to search the whole of the data tab and perform the task each time.
I am trying to use find and replace but the text that i'm searching for appears three times in the cell. I only need to replace the first occurrence in the cell. Alternatively, if there is a way to do this, can the second and third occurrence be changed?
Example:
Cheryl called Louie to advise she would be late for the meeting. Louie responded that he would meet Cheryl at her office. Cheryl confirmed.
I need to change the first 'Cheryl' to a job title and the second and third Cheryl to her initials (CL) so would read:
Manager of Aboriginal Affairs called Louie to advise she would be late for the meeting. Louie responded that he would meet CL at her office. CL confirmed.
Any way to use a find and replace function involving a cell reference. I have a spreadsheet with ton of junky text burying information that I want. Here is a simplified example
A B
Book 345353hg dgdgsdgfd fff Book belongs to Jim
Sneaker fdg4 Sneaker is worn by Jan
Gum dfg s d e te4345Gum tastes great
Cake jklsjflsjfjikCake smells delicious
The pattern is that the A1 text appears in the B2 text. What I want is
Find *A1
Replace with blank
Find *A2
Replace with blank
and etc.
So that in the end, I get this:
B2
belongs to Jim
is worn by Jan
tastes great
smells delicious
I've looked at the functions of find, replace, substitute, left, and right and I can't seem to find the right one to do what I need.
I am using a macro to find a value in a cell and if found, replace the value in the cell to the left. Thr macro works fine - unless the value I am searching for does not exist. The answer is ( Ithink) an IF statement, but I am having problems with the errors, when I try the IF.
The macro below blows up at the ActiveCell.Offset(0, -1) = "109073X line with an error "Run-time error "1004" - Application-defines or object-defined error.
I've tried a number of things I've seen from this board but have not found a way past the error.
If the value is found, the macro moves to the else statment and stops at the ActiveCell statement with the above error. If the value is not found, then the macro goto NotFound.
Sub Macro2()
'
'Range("A1").Select 'Start from the home cell
Dim ValueFound As Object
Set ValueFound = Cells.Find(What:="Cirrus Reversals/CREDITS")
If ValueFound Is Nothing ThenGoTo NotFoundElseActiveCell.Offset(0, -1) = "109073X"'ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "109073X"End If

I have a listing with Middle Initials in column D. D also contains dates and Names. I want to remove the Middle Initials only. I need to do this without moving around cells. So a Find:="A", Replacement:="" type of situation. Right now I have 26 two line entries to take care of this, but I know it has to be easier and use less lines. (Trying to consolidate code for a better look).
Here is some of what I have (that works, but is long):
Code:
'
' Replace Middle Initial from Prod Sheet
'
Cells.Replace What:="A", Replacement:="", LookAt:=xlWhole, SearchOrder _
:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=True, SearchFormat:=False, ReplaceFormat:=False
[Code]...
I thought that I might be able to do something like this, but I can't get it to work.
Code:
Dim Alpha as Variant
Alpha = Array("A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F", "G", "H", "I", "J", "K", "L", "M", "N", "O", "P", "Q", "R", "S", "T", "U", "V", "W", "X", "Y", "Z")
For ABet = 1 to Cells(Rows.Count, "D").End(xlUP).Row
If Range(ABet) = Alpha Then Range(ABet) = ""
Next ABet
' or I thought maybe this would work.
Cells.Replace What:=("A", "L", "R", "M") Replacement:="", LookAt:=xlWhole, SearchOrder _ :=xlByRows, MatchCase:=True, SearchFormat:=False, ReplaceFormat:=False
' or I thought maybe this would work with the variables.
If Range("B" & ABet) = Alpha Then Range("A" & ABet) = "" None of them worked though.
I am using VLOOKUP to find the size of a cam to be installed in a tablet press, based on the product code it will be running.
The array has two columns: (W) Product Code, (X) Cam Size.
Array: W4:X437
The user selects the Product Code from a drop-down list in cell E5.
The resulting Cam Size is displayed in cell E7. The VLOOKUP works fine.
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(E5,W4:X437,2,FALSE),"")
Occasionally, the cam size has to be updated. The user would then select a new cam size from a drop-down list in cell E9.
I have a "Update Cam Size" command button.
What I need to happen is for the value in E9 to replace the value in the array that is displayed in E7. Obviously, I have to know the location of the cell in the array, but I can't figure that part out. I've tried ADDRESS and MATCH functions, but it comes back with "#N/A" Value not available error.
=ADDRESS(MATCH(E7,W4:X437,0),2)

1) There is text that is recurring in the the thousands of the cells of Column 3.
2) I have used a program that found the recurring data, and put them in Column 1
3) Column 2 is what I want ever cell in Column 3 to change to when it matches the cell in Column 1
4) Is there a function that will find text in the 3rd Column that matches text in the 1st column (multiple cells in the 3rd column will match one cell in the 1st column)
5) Then Replace the text in the 3rd Column with the corresponding text in the 2nd column
I have a spreadsheet which is linked to other spreadsheets. When I use "find and replace" on this spreadsheet, it causes one of my linked cells to move down one row. Why does it do this? This particular cell has nothing to do with the "find and replace" option.
I have no idea how to stop this from moving this cell down.
Range B3:B1000 is text strings. Column C2:C50 is a list of words that I would like to "Find" in Column B and replace with it's lowercase values unless they start off the string.
Example
Find all occurences of And or AND and replace with and
Find all occurences of With or WITH and replace with with.
Find all occurences of Or or OR and replace with or

View 3 Replies View RelatedI need to take cells such as the following from A1 down:
Baker, Helen
Brown, Joe
Smith, John
Roberts
Thompson, Karen
White, Daniel
Wright, Lisa
I need to move this to the next column but where there is a cell such as the 4th without a comma it needs to add ", N/A".
Basically it should make "Roberts" from A4 become "Roberts, N/A". I think it needs something to search for a comma and if it's not present to add that to the end.
