Finding Next Match (Text)
Jan 23, 2014
I've got 2 sheets. Sheet 1 is where I am inputting all the products I'm producing and giving them serial numbers, if I produce the same part twice the name of the part is the same but the serial number changes. It looks something like this...
Sheet 1:
A
B
C
1
Part Produced
Serial Number
[code]....
While Sheet 1 is constantly been filled with the parts being made with their individual serial numbers. Sheet 2 is constantly being filled with the incoming orders, But only the A Column of Sheet 2 is being changed... as an order comes in I simply type into sheet 2 what product the customer is looking for.
The problem I am having is that as I write in that another "handle" for example as been ordered into sheet 2, my normal MATCH forumla is bringing up the same Serial Number "1001" over and over again. Really I'm wanting the "B" column to update to the next available serial number, so for example "1002"
Sheet 2... as it's coming out right now (wrong)...
A
B
1
Part Ordered By Customer
Serial Number
2
Handle
1001
[code]....
The formula will need to go into Sheet 2 'B' Column, and I'd like it to come out looking like this...
A
B
1
Part Ordered By Customer
Serial Number
2
Handle
1001
[code]....

I'm looking to use Excel to finding partial text In the case of more than one match
I used the following formula in cell C12:
=IFERROR(INDEX($C$2:$C$8, SMALL(IF($B12=$B$2:$B$8, ROW($B$2:$B$8)-MIN(ROW($B$2:$B$8))+1, ""),COLUMNS($B12:B12))),"")
But it's work only 100% match word not by partial text.

I think Match has trouble finding a value thats within a cell containing a lot of words.
Heres the example. I'm trying to find the word "Hello world" in cell B1, in Column A.
Column A
1 Lots of Text
2 Text Text. Hello world. text text
3 Text Text
Cell B1
Hello world
Column B2
Match("*"&B1&"*",A:A,0)
When theres only 1 sentence in Cell A2, the function works and returns 2.
However, when Cell A2 contains a few paragraphs the function returns #NA.
I don't necessarily need to use Match, if this is indeed a limitation does anyone of suggestions to work around, other than vlookup?

If a number in cell M1 is also anywhere in column A (column A has unique numbers), then cell W1 (date) should equal the content of cell V (also date) in the row that that number appears in column A. If M1 is blank (or there is no match in column A), then W1 should equal V1.
In W1, I currently have...

I have written a basic search which pastes the results on to another sheet.It works, but i have a small issue with it.If I search for "A" it will give me all the results for "A" but it will also give me any result with a combination with "A" in it, eg. BA or BBA etc I need to have results based on the exact search. What do I need to do to make my search result and exact result?

I have some intersting issue. Actually there are lot of functions in excel but my purpose is somewhat is solved by VLOOKUP , MATCH, OFFSET, INDEX functions.
Prob: Here i have a database contains as below
A1 B1 C1 D1
111 123 i/p o/p
222 301
111 321
333 456
If i keep 222 / 333 in C1 i will get output at D1 as 301 / 456 respectively. But if i keep 111 , i want a desired result to be most lastly updated value in the array that is 321 but it is printing 123.
let say if have
A1 B1 C1 D1
111 123 i/p o/p
222 301
111 321
333 456
111 500
then if i enter 111 in C1 then i want to get 500 but still am getting 123 only. tht is the first hit.
i want to return a value which has lastly updated.
So if i use any fuctions from above i may getting correct results for 222,333 but i want result for 111.
Thoughts and rules:
1.The new entry will added at the end of the array.
2. A1/B1 are only numbers.
3. free to use any functions
U can have flexibility to create one more array or even update the column B1 if any i/p matches in column A1. So there will always a single output for each unique input.
Imean to say u can have a array with
A1 B1 C1 D1
111 321 (replace 123 with 321) i/p o/p
222 301
(remove this entry)
333 456

I want to delete a row in a spreadsheet by finding the row that contains a particular value. I use MATCH on spreadsheet #1 to identify the row number on spreadsheet #2 to delete. I need the macro to select the row number on spreadsheet #2 and delete it.
I don't know the syntax for the commands in VBA to write this and I'm coming to this forum for help because I'm too lazy to learn VBA. I've recorded macros to add rows, populate cells, hide sheets, etc. The following code is extracted from a macro I recorded to try to get started, and was hoping to be able to substitue a reference to sheet1 within the parentheses at
Rows("4:4").Select
but I can't make this work. The following is the code I was trying to adapt.
Sheets("Sheet2").Select
Rows("4:4").Select
Selection.Delete Shift:=xlUp
End Sub

I have a table as follows: [URL] - note: cells containing times and temperatures are numeric values, I've used custom formatting to add " mins" and "°C" on the end
In one cell, a user can input a time period (in mins), and in another cell, I would like to output the start and end columns (in letter/s) for the chosen time.
For example, in the link above, if the value inputted '30' then the start column is 'C' and the end column is 'G'. If the user had inputted '60', then the results would be 'H' and 'K', etc.
I am able to find the start column with the following equation:
=SUBSTITUTE(ADDRESS(1,MATCH(VALUE,C2:P2,0)+2,4),"1","")
I am struggling, however, to find the end column for the chosen time.
If each time had the same number of temperatures then it would be a simple case of adding the number of temperatures per time, minus 1, after the "+2".
My first idea was to copy the above function, but to change the "0" in the MATCH function to "-1", in order to find the next greatest time value. However, it appears that using "-1" in the MATCH function only works if the range is in descending order - my times are always in ascending order.
I have a further problem in that the time periods are not always the same values (i.e. it won't always be 30-60-90-120, it could for example be 30-45-60-75). So as far as I know, there is no way in advance of knowing the next time period up (and then subsequently taking one column to the left).
One possible workaround I have considered involves the following:
- Add a new row between rows 2 and 3, which has the time values in each cell (i.e. from column C, values of 30-30-30-30-30-60-60-60-60-90-90-90-120-120) - effectively duplicating the time row, but not merging cells
- Use the COUNTIF function to find the number of cells in that row containing the chosen time
- Add this value, minus 1, after the "+2" in the above formula, i.e. =SUBSTITUTE(ADDRESS(1,MATCH(VALUE,C2:P2,0)+2+COUNTIF(C3:P3,"="&VALUE")-1,4),"1","")

Im using vlookup to search a table and fill out a calendar with dates that various employees are gone. They can have multiple trips in one month and thus will be in the table multiple times. I have the calendar set up so days go across the top and names go along hte left side. so each cell is identified by name and day. I then have each cell using the vlookup command to search the table. now if one person has multiple trips a month is there a way to compare multiple entries in the table?

I need to create a macro to do the following:
Search the activecell for a text string (a), and then either paste in text string (b) at the end of the cell if (a) is found, or text string (c) if (a) is not found.
For example, if the activecell has "AA/" in it, I want the cell to become "AA/01" (pasting in "01" at the end), and if the cell has just "AA" in it, I want it to still become "AA/01" (pasting "/01" at the end). The macro will be linked to a commandbutton.

I've read the how to for finding the nth occurrence using index/match but the example given does not really help solve my issue. The file I've attached is a condensed version of the actual file, which has more columns but I deleted all but the necessary ones for clarity. What I am trying to accomplish:
On sheet1 there are three columns, Business, Amount, and Closing Date.
Not all the business names have a closing date and the spreadsheet is sorted alphabetically by business name, so sorting by closing date, and using the method used in the topic " find the nth occurrence in excel", is not an option.
On sheet2, I would like to see ALL the business names that have a closing date in the respective month, as opposed to just the first. Then to the right of the business names I have the sum of all the amounts in that month, but I figured out how to get that one already.

I am trying to identify matches for company names I have in columns A and H.
I originally used =IF( $A3<>$H3,"No Match","Match")
The issue is that not all of the company names in column A contain "INC","LLC", "CORP", etc. So, I am not capturing all of the matches.
Example:
Column A: American Eagle Outfitters
Column H: American Eagle Outfitters INC
Is it possible to write a formula with the logic that IF A3 and H3 both contain "American Eagle Outfitter" then "Match" or "No Match"?

refer to the attached workbook for reference. I am looking for a function in Sheet1, Column E that will search for the value of Sheet1, Column A within Sheet2, Column A. When a match is found, the function should look across Sheet2, Columns B - V for values of 1. When such values are found, the function should return the associated value from Sheet2, Row 2. There may be multiple values of 1, and as such, the function should separate values with a comma.

I need to find from the second word until just before a numeric number.
Thus the text in Column H is as follow:
COLUMN H
1234234 My name is John 12 Jul
34243 I am 10 years old 23 Feb
4345345 Peter 23 Jan
So, I need the text in RED extracted only. All words are seperated by spaces. It will always start from the second word and continues until it finds the first number. All words between these must be extracted.
My formula below is to extract the 1st Word, thus all I need is the formula for the above situation and replace the one below with it.
a.Formula = "=Left(h2,find("" "",h2)-1)"

I have the code below which does work and looks up a piece of text in A1 (in this case the word exhaust) within the contents of column B. If the text is found (either part or whole) it returns a Y and if not an N in column C.
It works fine but I can't work out how to get it to repeat should I then want to look at a value in A2, A3 etc without removing any Y had Y already been displayed due to a prior word in the list. Below are the results I'd want.

Column A has prepopulated list of values of various lengths, no spaces. Need to search column A for certain values at the END of each text string, and then populate the cell right next to it with another constant value.
Example: macro searches column A for cells with "123" at the END of the cell value (whole cell value could be A123 or ABC123, etc...). When macro finds the cells that meet this criteria, it places the constant value "XYZ" in column B right next to the cell in col A.
I need several variations on this theme and the # of characters being searched for at the end of each text string can vary. The constant value to be inserted in Col B can also vary. I imagine 'For Each' loops for every variation would work, I just do not know how to write the code for searching the "end of the text string" part of it

In a data report i have a column which contains a mix of text and may contain an 8 digit number which could start in 0.
for example
in column A i could have "Hello how are you 01237232 I am fine"
I wish to extract the number into a seperate column, and would ordinarilly use a mid or left/ right function, however the text infront and behind the number will vary in length, which means i cannot do this.
The number will always be 8 digits, could start in 0 but will not always, and it may not be present in all the cells in this column.
How I an achieve this?

I am trying to create a cell that show the value of all specified rows with specific name.
For example:
Apples $2 $5 $10
Oranges $5 $10 $50
Apples $5 $ 6 $ 60
(each of these will be in their own cells, 3 rows and 4 columns)
How do I create a cell that will sum the total value of all the Apples by using Apples as the variable?

I have a column with text + string (e.g., T1000, T1001, etc.)
I have another column that's the same, but sometimes this column has new codes.
Right now I have to "eye" it side by side to see if there are any new codes, but I'm sure there's a better way to do it. I'm thinking of asking Excel to compare the columns and if they aren't equal, then it would be necessary for me to eye it. If they are equal, then I dont have to bother because there are no new codes.

I am looking to set up an excel doc with 2 sheets.
In sheet 1, I am would like to be able to enter a series of words of interest/criteria to be met (in column D).
In sheet 2, I would like to paste in the text from an individual's CV. The text would be entered en masse, meaning that some cells would be empty and others would have whole sentences/paragraphs of text.
I would like a formula to enter in column A of sheet 1 which would search all of the cells in sheet 2 for the word/words in column D of sheet 1 and return either a positive or negative value.
I had tried the following:
=(COUNTIF(Sheet2!1:1048576,Sheet1!D2)>0)
This formula, however, is not capable of extracting the desired text from a string/sentence, and so only returns a positive result if the desired text is in a cell by itself.

I've searched around the web for AverageIf solutions and found the CSE formulas. However I've come across a big problem I can't resolve.
I have two columns of data. Column A has _similar_ text and column B has data.
The problem is the following: AverageIf does not support finding similar text. This means that a formula like:
=AVERAGE(IF(A2:A400="Info/German*";F2:F200;FALSE)) does not work.
Column A contains words like Info/German, Info/German2, Info/Italian etc. But I only need to find the average of cells that begin with "Info/German".

I want to find a number within a text string, then count the letters in the same string, then add the number to the number of letters.
For example, if I have 9RR in a cell, I want to add 9 + 2 = 11.
The data will always be arranged with the number on the left side of the string.
So, if the number is a single digit, I know I can use left(A1) + len(A1) -1 to get my desired result. But, the trouble I am having is what if there is a double digit number like 10RR...I'm not quite sure how to create a formula (without using VBA) to give me a result of 12 for this cell.

I have a mass of text in a cell. I would ideally like to search the text to format in a different font colour so it can be easily seen where the specific text is.
My current way is to use SEARCH in conditional formatting but this changes the whole cell not the specific text I am interested in.
EG. - I interested in the text PETER in my cell so would like PETER to be in red font.
A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked; If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers, Where's the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?
