I have a workbook which contains 12 sheets, is it possible write a macro which will search for a text string which could be on any of the 12 sheets
find a string and copy certian string to next cell i have tried something which can copy but unforunately that is copying whole cell not certian string.
I have data of 500 rows and i have data till A,B,C,D and E.Please ignore all the other rows which are of no use except E in Column E i just need Reference : A0000000:1 to be copied to next column beside to it that means in Column F.
macro find parenthesis and remove string in every other cell in Col.A
The following formula works but is tedious to apply to every other cell:
=LEFT(A3,FIND("(",A3)-2)
Data Example:
Cell Value A2 = hello world I am A2 (this is an example)
Cell Value A3 = hello world I am A2
Then Delete the entire row A2 and apply this to every other A.Col.cell with the original data.
I am having trouble getting my IF statement to test if the cell contains the text "sale" return "X" if not "Y". I need it to search through the text string in that cell and find a certain word, and if it finds that word, retrn a value. I am really having difficulty with is what symbol or function do I use for the logical test? (i.e. =, <>, MATCH, INDEX?)
View 4 Replies View Related I am trying to do a sort of index match thing using VBA. What I am attempting to do is to use the prefix of a long number and try to find that exact prefix in a string array, and output that string array value. So this is what I have so far as a test:
[Code].....
So I can match the text exactly so if I put PREFIXB in cell A1 in this example, i will get the msg box saying "YES", but if I make it PREFIXB1231k4j3jj1kj32cj, it will display "NO". I want to get it so that PREFIXB will be displayed in the cell that I put the formula in. So if A1 = "PREFIX1AAA100CF" and cell B1 = "=ABC(A1)", cell B1 will display "PREFIX1AAA".
Now the thing is that these prefixes can have different lengths, but will never encompass the exact prefix of another. So if I had a prefix of: PRE1AB, I won't have a prefix of PRE1A.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI would like to call up a find box, then be able to search several worksheets for a string, to copy and paste the related row to a new worksheet.
I've gotten as far as being able to search for a string and get the row pasted, as long as the string is defined in my macro. Is there a way though to be able to call up a find box first though, and search for the input variable? (alternatively, I can only imagine a separate piece of code for each variable, of which there are many, and I am actually trying to save time.
The following line finds last "non-blank" row in a column. I have a column that has formulas in 10000 rows. Most of the time only first 7000 rows will have data, other cells below will have "". I need to find the last row with real data, not "".
Is there a way to add a condition or check to the following line?
1) Find strings "CA", "Ca", "ca", "California", "california", "cali", "Cali" in Column F
2) If the string is found, then record the Real value at Column D of that row in Column I
3) Continue this until there are no more strings in Column F
4) Add the values recorded in Column I and display the final value at the bottom of the list.
say I have a string that looks like this
C:Documents and Settingsme[test 2-2006.xls]Sheet1
I want to extract the DATE prior to .xls. I can get to this:
C:Documents and Settingsme[test 2-2006
It is possible that the filename would have numbers in it prior to the date.
I'm trying to figure out a way to get to the last SPACE in the string.
I would like to modify the macro below in order to find cells that do not contain */*/20*
How do I achieve this?
Code:
Sub delete_oldads()
Dim cel As Range, cfind As Range
ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Select
For Each cel In ActiveSheet.UsedRange
If cel = "" Then GoTo nextcel
Set cfind = cel.Find(what:="*/*/20*", lookat:=xlPart)
If Not cfind Is Nothing Then
cfind.Copy Cells(cfind.Row, "A")
cfind.Clear
End If
nextcel:

I know "Instr" find out whether a particular string exits. Can it also tell how many of that particular string appear in a text?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI understand that the function FIND(find_text, within_text, start_num) will find the first occurrence of a stated string. And by adjusting the start_num, you can skip a set number of characters before the search begins.
But, is there a way to find the Last occurrence of said string? In my case the find_text string may occur multiple times in the variable length within_text cell to be searched.
Sample: Find the last occurrence of MDU
Code:
Sample string1 - ABDJ FFU MDU WWW AEH JJF MDU JJI LLK OOI HAHA QWAS
Sample string2 - HFUR MDU HDS IGH RJR KDHF LLDE MDU KKJ MDU GGG
In the above 2 sample strings the output of the Find() function needs to be 26 & 40. Having a cell formula would be desirable, but if it can only be done by VBA that is acceptable, also.
I have the following string of text and want to take out certain parts of it. Assume the string is in cell A1.
In cell B1 I want "Company ABC DEF"
In cell C1 I want "10.50%"
In cell D1 I want "12/13/2014"
String:
Company ABC DEF (USD) 10.50% 12/13/2014
how the MID formulas work (as a bonus)? I used =MID(A1,FIND(")",A1,1)+2,45) and it returns "10.50% 12/13/2014".
So I see that that formula says start from 1 character after ")", count 2 over, and then put in the next 45 characters. How do I do an in between amount, and how do I just have it come from the LEFT but stop when it finds " ("
I am using ctrl+f to find a string that may or may not be in a worksheet.
If it is found, i need to bold the row.
If it is not found, i need to go on to the next instruction in the macro.
I just don't know quite how to combine the If/Then with Find.
I have this page in html. How to find the value 1 and 4 in:
<td WIDTH="25%" ALIGN="center"><font style="font-family: Verdana,
Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; font-weight:
bold"> Pagine 1 di 4 </font></td>
and to find the value 308: <td align="center" colspan="11" class="INFO">Totale fidi individuati:308<br></td>. after store the value founded in var_1, var_4 and var_308. NOTE: in this case the value are 1, 4 and 308 but the contet of tag the value can change because the page is dinamic, in other case find the value after:
font-weight:bold"> Pagine now is 1
font-weight:bold"> Pagine 1 di now is 4
<td align="center" colspan="11" class="INFO">Totale fidi individuati:now is 308

I am trying to match words in two separate columns that are not exact matches. any formulas or codes I can write to do this.Below is an example.
Column A
3m Corporation
Apple Inc
Allstate Corp
State Farm
write a simple formula to find a string in sheet2 and Return (True or False) in Sheet1.
The following is what I have written..
If I find a string matched - Then True.
=IF( OR(COUNTIFS(Escalations18[Engineer], "Arun C"), COUNTIFS(Table2517[Engineer], "Arun C"), COUNTIFS('Week 1'!D56:D61, "Arun C") ), "True", "False")
I even used vlookup, but getting error.
=vlookup("Arun", Column B, 3, TRUE)
2nd solution:I want to copy the same to other columns.. But should search for some other name.
I have a cell that has approx 22000 characters. I'm trying to remove a specific character string from a cell by doing a find and replace with "". It works for characters in the first part of the cell but not for characters in the last part of the cell.
Example: I do a find/replace for the characters 21242 to "" in column A and I get the expected results. I do a find/replace on 69294 to "", again I get the expected results, but if I do a find/replace on 85203 to "", I get "Excel cannot find what I am searching for" (but its there!)
My cell size is within the max size of 32,767 characters so not sure why its not working.

I would like to find the position of the last occurrence of a character in a string. For example, I have a string with the following:
"c:wwgpeToolbidsTest File.GP$".
I would like to find out the position of the last '' in the string because I want to pull the filename, 'Test File.GP$' into a variable. I would like to avoid writing code to do this. Are there some Excel functions I can use for this?
I know I have to use FIND and MID but I can't work out the right syntax: how do I extract Michael or Dave from the following strings:
F - Michael 8735
M - Dave 093

As you can see in the excel, what Im trying to do is to find the time i.e which is the numbers in the field and display them seperately onto the cells beside. So what i need is to Find and extract these numbers 34,41,46,91 and paste them just beside cell on the list.
I can use formula but i can only display 1 number, so i think this might require a VBA script.Thanks in advance guys..
I have 4 columns in which is text combined with numbers (Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet t-shirt LPW01-B consectetur adipiscing.) I need to search every column and cells in them for a word/string which is written in R2 and replace the word in every cell by the word in S2
So for example, in R2 is "t-shirt" and in S2 is "potato"
The program finds the entry: "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet t-shirt LPW01-B consectetur adipiscing." and replace it with "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet potato LPW01-B consectetur adipiscing."

Is it possible to find the location of different characters in a string (using VBA)? Normally I would use InStr of InStrRev option in VBA but my situation is a little more complicated.
The character I am looking for is not always the same, sometimes it is a , or a . or a : or a "blank" etc
I tried to do it like:
dim strChar as string
strChar = "[,.? /]"
SearchPosition = InStr ("cell location", strChar) (searchposition is the name of the function I am trying to make)
This works if I define only 1 character, this way it gives me a 0 as outcome
I have tried to change it to strChar = "[,]" or strChar = "[.]" or strChar = "[ ]" but this doesn't work.
How to return multiple values that are adjacent to a series of the same substring. So here is the setup. Say in cell [A1] I have a very long string. Within this string, the following substring will occur an unknown number of times:
"@baseRate":"499.0"
This part, "@baseRate": will always be the same, but the "499.0" will vary (both the length of that string and the number of occurrences of the string will vary). So I could have a string like this in [A1]:
....."@baseRate":"499.0"........."@baseRate":"399.0".........."@baseRate":"99.0" (the periods are other parts of the string that I am not concerned with)
What I would like to return in [B1]:[D1] would look like the following:
B1: 499.0 C1: 399.0 D1: 99.0
The problem I foresee is the actual rate data I am looking for will not have a fixed length and the "@baseRate" could occur one time or it could occur 30+ times.
I have a macro that asks the user to enter a file name and have written a small function to search the name given to the file to find any invalid characters, trouble is I must be doing something wrong as I doesn't work.
