Excel 2007 :: Find Text And Replace It With Same Text Only In Italics In Worksheet?
Aug 18, 2013I am trying to find specific text throughout an excel document (2007) and replace it with the same text but in italics. I tried using the options/format function and selecting italics for the "replace" text but it replaces the entire cell text in italics instead.

Nov 11, 2011I need some vba coding which will find and replace text on a worksheet. This would normally be straight-forward, however some text needs to be replaced by text which already occurs in the worksheet, and without it changing as well (if Find/Replace can perform two Find/Replaces at the same time???).
Here is the detail and what I am trying to accomplish: I have two worksheets each with a table of data.Worksheet 1 has a lookup table with three columns of data (column a and b are lists, with c being a formulated column which is dependent on the user selecting either column a name or column b name). I have done this easily enough using data validation on cell $C$1.Worksheet 2 has a user input table which column 3 is a dropdown validation using the named range "UsedName" from Worksheet 1.
I want the selected dropdown names to automatically change when the user changes Old Name to New Name (and vis-versa) on Worksheet 1.The list of values in the data validation dropdown list change well enough, but not any of the existing returned values. When I tried to use vba coding to Find & Replace, I run into issues because (Substanital and Important) are used in both instances, but at different levels with different matched names Important/Relevant.
Worksheet 1
A B C D
1 Cell with dropdown list New Names
2 (Old Names, New Names)
3
4 Old Names New Names Names Level
5 Equal Equivalent Equivalent 1
6 Dominant Critical Critical 2
7 Important Substantial Substantial 3
8 Substantial Major Major 4
9 Relevant Important Important 5
10 Minor Irrelevant Irrelevant 6
formula for column C =IF($C$1="Used Names", A5, B5)
column C is name ranged "Names
Worksheet 2
(Worksheet 2 has another table which has various data. One column which is a drop down list being pulled from Worksheet 1)
A B C D
1 Bob 25% Critical 19
2 Frank 60% Important 33
3 Ellen 40% Substantial 5
4 Ellen G 20% Substantial 12
5 Gary 55% Equivalent 100
6 Jo 50% Major 8
7 Peter 40% Important 22
8 Kim 12% Equivalent 30
9 Shelley 75% Substantial 15
10 John 75% Critical 90
so I want column C to automatically change from these New Names to the corresponding Old Name of the same level. So Critical would become Dominant, Important would become Relevant and Substantial would become Important.

View 6 Replies View RelatedFind Keyword In Worksheet - Copy Entire Row To Another Worksheet?
Feb 26, 2010I have an Excel WorkBook with 100 WorkSheets.
Each Worksheet has a unique identifying label - "Requirement Number"
Within each worksheet is free form text data of the following categories:
Requirement: 10358
Title: Customer requirement 1
Text: This describes the requirements for a product for the customer[code].....
The text of the categories may begin in column A or B
What I need is a macro that will search each worksheet for a category, e.g., "Configuration:", copy the row where the keyword "Configuration" is found, and then have that row transposed and pasted to another WorkSheet (e.g., "Extracted Data") cell.
Data extracted from the next Worksheet would begin a new row in "Extracted Data"
Example:
Requirement1 Title Text Verification Method-Level ...
Requirement2 Title Text Verification Method-Level ...
Requirement3 Title Text Verification Method-Level ...
The Requirement# is best extracted from the WorkSheet tab since some of the worksheets are missing this information.
I can provide an example spreadsheet, however, I was not able to figure out how do that in this post.
I found a thread similar to this problem:
find and copy row
However, it only finds, copies and pastes for one keyword.

Find And Replace Formula For Locating Short Text Within Larger Text?

Excel 2011 :: Find Multiple Text Strings In Another Text String
Mar 8, 2013How do I use an Excel formula to find which (if any) multiple sets, each of up to 50 words, exist in a series of rows of a spreadsheet - if set A has one or more words found in a searched cell.
A positive result will return a specific value in the designated result cell. If none of the words in Set A is found in the searched cell, the formulae will repeat the test for the words in Set B, and so on.
After all 50 sets of words have been tested, the formula will move to the next cell in the searched column.
New words will be added to the sets of words continually as required.
Multiple words within sets are included in double quotes. Within each set of words there will be some n-tuples of words (i.e. 24 adjacent words) that contain one or more of the words in the set, but for which the formula will be required to return a negative result. Example: Set A = word 1, word2, word 3, "word1 word2 word3". (The words within a set could also be each entered in separate columns, as opposed to all included in a single cell.) The single column of text to be searched is about 10,000 rows.
I am wanting to use the above in a spreadsheet that contains data downloaded from a series of bank accounts to automatically allocate items of expenditure to one of 20 or so different categories of expenditure.
The formula will search the description field to find words that are used in the in the downloaded files from the various accounts to describe each transaction.
If a word describing travel expenditure (e.g. hotel, "holiday inn" but not "holiday travel") is found in the description of an expenditure item - the item cost will be allocated to the TRAVEL EXPENDITURE column, which is one of 20 or so different categories of expenditure.
Happy to consider a different solution if the task can be done better a different way.
Tried using a combination of INDEX/SEARCH/IF in Excel, but was not able to get a correct result. PS I am using Excel 2011 for Mac - which does not allow macros, so the solution needs to be entirely formula based.
Formula To Find Specific Text And Replace With Alternate Text?
Mar 4, 2014I have a worksheet with several columns. I need a formula to search column D only and each time a specific location is identified to replace that location with alternate text. Example (ORIGNAL TEXT):
Column Dtext to text help.xlsx
BIRD
FISH
DOG
BAT
BUG
I need to search that listing and each time the word BIRD is mentioned have it replaced with FEATHERS and each time DOG is listed have it replaced with TAILS Final result would look like:
FEATHERS
FISH
TAILS
BAT
BUG
All other text should stay the same and replacement text should appear in the cell of the text it is replacing. This is a sheet used by multiple people several times a day and so the Find/Replace option really won't work.
Have working on this for at least 6 months and it just isn't going to happen for me. I thought I could use a Conditional format, but that is producing no results either.

IF Statements To Find Certain Text And Exclude Certain Text?
Jun 18, 2014I'm trying to set up a dashboard with a table and some formulas so that I can just copy a data export into one tab and have the table perform various Vlookups, charts, etc. The trouble I'm having is that some of my cells contain a mix of text, and I'm looking for specific text only. Example:
Address |Tags | Result
Email 1 |t1 t2 t3 t4 | Email 1
Email 2 |t1
Email 3 |t2 impact1 | Email 3
Email 4 |impact2
Email 5 |impact2 t2| Email 5
My data source has thousands of rows, and I'm looking at the Tags column. I want to use a Vlookup that gives me the email when [Tags] contains "t2", but my search is getting confused with "impact2". Is there a formula to search for "t2", but not get confused with "impact2"? I considered using =NOT, but I don't want to exclude cells just because they contain "impact2". If there was a formula for =IGNORE, that would be marvelous. My formulas are getting longer & longer, but they always seem to break in the end.
Basically I'm trying something like:
=IF(OR(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("* t2*",Table1[Tags])),SEARCH("t2*",Table1[Tags])),"Yes","No")
(Once I get the IF figured out, I'll use Vlookup to bring out the Address).

View 1 Replies View RelatedCannot Use Find On Another Worksheet?
Feb 14, 2014I have a workbook with two sheets. I have one macro that saves the text of the active cell in sheet 1 for later use, the macro then switches to sheet 2 and using the find function I want it to search for the variable I just setup but I keep getting run-time error 91.
Here is what I have:
[Code] ......
I get the run-time error 91 with the Find lines of code yellow and the arrow pointing at the last row. I've tried all kinds of variations (with and without Activate) of the find function and as long as it is searching in sheet2 for the variable that was made in sheet1 it will NOT work. If I do this same search on Sheet1 I get no error. Also if I change the string name in Find to the same exact text just with quotes on it it will find that text without problem in Sheet2. But if I use a string I get an error.
Once I get this to work I want to save the address where the string is found in Sheet2 and use that address later as well so how to get an address from a Find result.
