FindNext (search In Column For A String)
Jan 29, 2009
1) search column A for a string
2) as that string is found, move the entire contents of that cell to the same row, column F
3) insert a blank row above the row where the text was found
4) continue to search and perform the same steps
I was able to come up with the code to find a single instance and perform the necessary steps, but I've tried 'til I'm blue in the face to incorporate the FindNext object to parse through the entire worksheet. I thought I was on the right track with the attached code (which could be completely wrong), but it returns my MsgBox "Value Could Not Be Found."

Column A contains an alphanumeric string up to 50 characters in length. I need a formula to search the string in Column A for the word "Appeal" and place that word in Column B when found. Likewise for the words "Grievance" and "Complaint". If none of the three words are found in Column A, the contents of Column B should be blank. Here's the formula I've played around with (it works on the first line but returns #VALUE! on following lines):
=IF(SEARCH("Appeal",A1),"Appeal",IF(SEARCH("Grievance",A1),"Grievance",IF(SEARCH("Complaint",A1),"Co mplaint","")))
I've tried entering it as an array, but that also fails. This seems like a pretty simple problem ,but I've spent several hours trying to make the formula work so I'm obviously doing something wrong.

I need a VBA code that will insert a column next to A, search column A for a string of say 50 cities, and then enter the classification of that city into column B. example below.
Before
A B
1 Boston Good
2 Atlanta Good
3 Georgia Bad
4 NewYork Bad
After
A B C
1 Boston MA Good
2 Atlanta GA Good
3 Cleveland OH Bad
4 NewYork NY Bad
I'm not actually using cities and states.

I would like to search cells in column D for the partial string, "PIPE," (A full string may look like this: 'PIPE, 24"ODx0.375"WT API-5LX-65,ERW OR SMLS'). Then, if it's there, return the value "LF" in the corresponding cell in column C. If that string isn't found, then I'd like it to return "EA".
I know this seems pretty easy, but there's a small problem. The word "BENT PIPE," could be in Column D, in which case, I would want it to return "EA" instead of "LF".

I need to make a list of items that occur above the string "Room" and the data offset to the bottom and bottom right.
Here is the sample data:
1, 100A
2, Room, Rh
3, 123, 11
3, 200B
4, Room, Rh
5, 456, 24
6, 300C
7, Room, Rh
8, 789, 56
...
On another sheet this is what the output should look like:
1 100A 123 11
2 200B 456 24
3 300C 789 56
...
Here is a copied function that I've been trying to work with. "ROOM_AREAS" is the range in column A. I just can't seem to figure out how the ROW and SMALL functions are supposed to work here.

I am trying to write a macro to search a column for a specific text string which when found, will copy the whole row the string is in. Once this row has been copied, I then want the macro to activate a new sheet and search for the next available empty row to paste the data. Once this has been done, go back to the original sheet and find the next cell in the original column with the specified text string and repeat until the range has been satisfied. Below is the script I have that sort of works.

I have a spreadsheet which has "Employee: [agent 1 name]" in column A and it may or may not have the word "Break" in the same column before it mentions "Employee: [agent 2 name]". The amount of data between agent 1 and agent 2 varies and am needing code which will insert a row above "Employee: [agent 2 name]" if "Break" is not found, and add the word "Break" in column A on the inserted row. I would need this to loop through the spreadsheet until all 100+ agents have been searched.
I'm also needing this done for the word "Meeting" and would insert a row 2 rows above the next agent.

I used to dabble in QBasic and VBA programming in my youth, but I haven't done any programming in so many years, most of my prior knowledge is gone. What this means is that I'm picking things up reasonably quickly, but I don't really know what I'm doing at all. Anyway, I'm trying to setup a script that uses Find to search for a particular phrase, deletes the entire row if it finds that phrase and repeats the process until it has deleted every single row that contains that phrase.

is it just me and my copy of Excel 2003 or does the following code taken directly out out Microsoft Visual Basic Help result in a run-time error, with the last "Loop While Not" line of code highlighted as the problem?
I was trying to get a multiple find working on my userform, and was always getting the error, so thought I'd try the code in it's most basic form, and I'm still getting the error?
With Worksheets(1).Range("a1:a500")
Set c = .find(2, LookIn:=xlValues)
If Not c Is Nothing Then
firstAddress = c.Address
Do
c.Value = 5
Set c = .FindNext(c)
Loop While Not c Is Nothing And c.Address firstAddress
End If
End With
I'm sure I must be just doing something stupid!
This code goes through the range A1:A500 and replaces any cells that contain the value 2 with the value 5.

I am using Range. Find() and Range.FindNext() Method. As per my knowledge FindNext() advances in the text and searches for same string found using Find(). I have used Find() for two different searches in Sheet. (Eg. Find() text "Risk" and Find text "ACL", Now when I use FindNext() for the second time (to search "ACL" text), next time when I use FindNext() to search first text ("Risk" it searches prev text - "ACL"). I have used them in a loop. Below is the code i have used.
Set SrcCell = SourceBook.Worksheets(1).Columns("A").Find("Risk", After:=Sheets("SubArea").Range("A21"), LookIn:=xlValues, lookat:=xlWhole)
'Set srcCell = SourceBook.Worksheets(1).Columns("A").FindNext
Set firstSrcCell = SrcCell
Do While Not (SrcCell Is Nothing)
tgtCell.Offset(tgtRow, 0) = SrcCell.Offset(-1, 255)
tgtCell.Offset(tgtRow, 1) = subAreaId
tgtCell.Offset(tgtRow, 2) = SrcCell.Offset(0, 1)
tgtCell.Offset(tgtRow, 3) = SrcCell.Offset(1, 1)
tgtCell.Offset(tgtRow, 5) = SrcCell.Offset(3, 1)
tgtCell.Offset(tgtRow, 6) = SrcCell.Offset(2, 1)
RiskId = SrcCell.Offset(-1, 255)
'tgtCell.Offset(tgtRow, 0) = SrcCell.Offset(0, 255)...............

I'm trying to use the .Find and .FindNext functions to find how many cells in Worksheet("WAS") have the same value as the ActiveCell (B3 in this case) on the Worksheet("DDS"). Basically i'm just trying to figure out how many times this sub goes through the Do While loop. However, "tick" keeps coming back as a value of 1. I know there's something I must be doing wrong or something i'm not allowed to do but i'm still pretty new at this.

I keep getting that error when I'm running my macro. When I debug, it points me to the bolded line in the code below. The larger macro I'm running this function in runs this function some 101 times without error before this happens.
The values of the parameters are as follows when it gives me the error:
Find_Exact("hchen", ws1, "B:B"). The first parameter is the only one that changes in the previously mentioned running of this function.

I am facing problems with finding next instance of text using FindNext method. Kindly find code belowe which i have used.
Set srcCell = SourceBook.Worksheets(1).Columns("A").Find("Risk", After:= Sheets("SubArea"). Range("A21"), LookIn:=xlValues, lookat:=xlWhole)
'Set srcCell = SourceBook.Worksheets(1).Columns("A").FindNext
Set firstsrccell = srcCell
Do While Not (srcCell Is Nothing)
tgtCell.Offset(tgtRow, 0) = srcCell.Offset(-1, 255)
tgtCell.Offset(tgtRow, 1) = subAreaId
tgtCell.Offset(tgtRow, 2) = srcCell.Offset(0, 1)
tgtCell.Offset(tgtRow, 3) = srcCell.Offset(1, 1)
tgtCell.Offset(tgtRow, 5) = srcCell.Offset(3, 1)
tgtCell.Offset(tgtRow, 6) = srcCell.Offset(2, 1)
Set srcCell2 = SourceBook.Worksheets(1).Columns("A").FindNext
' If firstsrccell.Address = srcCell.Address Then
' Exit Do
' End If
tgtRow = tgtRow + 1
Loop
I checked above code by putting breakpoint, but code is unable to find next instance where it matches the required string (FindNext reamains at the same position).

Scenario:
A1:A2000 (or the wole column) will have the following:
Black Total
Grey Total
Total Grey Print
Blue Total Print
and so on.
Each cell will contain the word "Total". In B1:B2000 ( or the whole column) I would like to remove the word total from the column A. Example:
B1 should only contain Black (instead of Black Total)
B3 should only contain Grey Print
B4 should only contain Blue Print

I'm using the following code which is working well. It finds an instance of the string "A83". Once it finds it, it moves down x number of cells and populates it with a new string. It then moves down another x number of cells and populates it with another new string, etc.
The problem is, it is only looking for "A83" one time and performing the appropriate actions at that point. What I need to do is look for *every* instance of the string "A83" and perform the appropriate actions.

I require the code for the following task.
I'm getting an input string from the user in an excel sheet(e.g. input.xls) .I have to search for that string in a group of excel files present in the same folder in which the input.xls file also present.The range of that cell in which the string is found (e.g. A1 ) has to be stored in a variable.
I know that Vlookup is an option but the number of excel files to be searched is more that 50.

If I have a store number (say 1234) and I am trying to search for something which contains 1234 (i.e. the whole string of ABCD1234, ABCD1235, ABCD1236 etc) is it possible to do this in one VLOOKUP formula?
One way of doing it would be to VLOOKUP("ABCD"&"1234",....) but I would rather do it the other way around, to prevent the formula from not working.

I have put a formula in excel to count how many times the word 'administration' appears in a column:
=COUNTIF(K2:K99,"Administration")
Unfortunately, the output that I am searching has mulitple words in it, separated with a colon and no space. My formula skips the count if the word Administration is not completely on it's own
e.g. Administration counts 1
Administration;Cardiology does not count

how to use a formula or macro or whatever that is applicable to solve my current issue.
For example:
I've the following text below. The prefix of "atest", "bgo", "crun" and "dfly_c" are fixed pattern, however, the text after prefix will change accordingly.
atest_myhomeisfar
bgo_runfast
crun_b:veryfast
dfly_c:bluesky
Now my request is, I would like to have the final output as per below. Notices that there are some additional numbers behind the text (with semicolumn).
Final output:
atest_myhomeisfar:1998
brun_veryfast:2009
cfly_bluesky:1790
dfly_c:bluesky:1800
My question is, is it possible to create something to handle this issue? I mean something that will seach thru a particular fixed pattern as mentioned above and add the number behind it?
I would like to do it one at the time (one prefix at a time). Not mass searching and adding.
For example:
Search all "atest*" pattern and add an additional number behind.

I'm writing some VB in an Excel macro to search and replace a string of text.
The problem is that the string contains the " symbol, so when Access gets to that symbol it thinks that it's reached the end of the string.
e.g.
I want to replace "0519","863027" (including the quotes) with "0001","863027"
This is what the code looks like, but it obviously doesn't work :

I have about 700 cells I want to interrogate. Within each cell the following text appears “Estimate – BOLB/02/1234 – Some more text here”. I want to search all the cells and delete the cell contents but leave the “BOLB/02/1234”.
The problem I have is that the string is different in each cell but the format is the same. It always starts with BOLB followed by /, followed by 2 numbers, followed by / followed by 4 numbers i.e. BOLB/**/****.
