Lets say I have a column of data and there are many sub parts.
A
John
Apples
xxx
Banana
Peter
Apples
xxx
Banana
yyy
How do I modify the range. find to locate the 2nd "Apples" , 29th "Banana" and so on or is there another method ?
I need to do a vlookup that takes a string from one cell and then tries to find that string (embedded in a larger string) in the table array
Essentially I imagine this involves the FIND function at some point.
Attached is an incredibly simplified example of what I'm looking for.
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
I have a combination of letters and numbers in a column. For example.
xx1234567x
1234567xx
xx1234xx1234
I need a formula to tell whether they begin with two letters and have a certain number of numbers then end in letters. Or have letters in the middle. Sorry Im so vague, I just need a start in the right direction. Ideally combined with an IF statement.
In english (If two letters afetr nine numbers then yes)
I have a column of one to three digit numbers (I5:I34), some of which contain an asterisk after them. In I35 i want a formula to find the highest value from that column. Additionally, if two numbers in the column are the same value, but one contains an asterisk after it, it should use that value in I35, instead of the one without the asterisk.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a table with three columns, column 1 is a list of names, column 2 is where I want my result to appear, and column 3 has my array of search values. Column 1 and 2 could have any number of rows with values, but column 3 will have less values. It looks like this if it's working right:
Item List
Result
Search List
[Code].....
What I am trying to do is for each cell in column 1, I want to see if there is a matching value in column 3 - it has to be either an exact match or a partial match (i.e. the string appears somewhere in the values of column 1).
I have been trying to use MATCH like this:
=ISNUMBER(MATCH($A2,$C:$C,0))
but it does not return true unless the match is exact.
way to get these partial string matches to work?
I have a list of strings in column A like this:
/Image in Filed/October 08/airline/arrival guides
/Image in Filed/October 08/movies/New Releases
/Image in Filed/October 08/tv/Escape
I need to put to the variable string which is after last "/" in the cell A#
in this case: arrival guides, New Releases, Escape
I'm a novice trying to figure out the following:
I have a column, where each cell in the column has one of the following "ratings" entered as text:
excellent
good
fair
poor
How do I count the number of times "poor" AND "fair" are listed in the column? I used the following countif forumla to count the # of occurences of the word "poor":
=COUNTIF(SurveyData1stRoundSortedbyDoc!Y2:Y30,"poor")
...but how do I adjust the formula so that it counts the # of occurences of the word "fair" AS WELL?
How many text strings in a reference column appear in paragraphs of text listed in another column within excel.
So column A contains text strings such as:
{{Advisor_Signature__c}}
{{Advisors_Initials__c}}
{{Advisors_Job_Title__c}}
{{Age__c}}
And I need to see whether any of these appear in cells in a reference column G. If they do, I would like to return 'Used' into column B.
An example of the type of text in each cell in column G is:
"If you have any questions regarding your offer, please contact me. For any questions regarding your benefits, payroll or company policies and programs, please contact HR. Sincerely, {{Advisor_Signature__c}} {{Advisors_Job_Title__c}}"
I don't seem to able to search for a text string across multiple reference cells.
I have a long list of products in an Excel column. I want to count the number of unique items in the list (the cells contain strings, not values).
I know I can use the "Remove Duplicates" tool in the Data menu, and then use a Count function on the resulting list. I wondered if there was an Excel function or formula that would do it, similar to the Frequency function that does the same thing with a list of values.
I have a set of data in Which in column A is the name of organisation.
If string in col A is longer than 50 I need to split in and put in col B.
That would be simple however I need to do it in a smart manner: i.e. cut it to the nearest full word.
Example:
THIS EXAMPLE NAME IS TOO LONG TO FIT INTO 50-TEXT CRITERIA SO I NEED TO DIVIDE IT INTO TWO STRINGS
Incorrect; length = 98
THIS EXAMPLE NAME IS TOO LONG TO FIT INTO 50-TEXT
Correct; trimmed down to 48.
My question is about formula that can detect spaces and depending on those trim the string down adequatly:
to 50 if 50th char is preceeded by space; if not then check where is the next space going towards left. Once you find it cut the string there.
What formula I can use to get desired effect?
with creating this macro to identify duplicate text strings in a column, which is great.
But, I'd like to be able to identify them by changing the text of the subsequent duplicates that are found.
For example, if 3 cells in a column are 1111, I'd like to add a string of text to the end of the 2nd & 3rd cell, but not the 1st cell.
1111
dup-1111
dup-1111-dup
This will enable me to sort the column and find the duplicate easier than just visually.
Sub color_dup()
Dim r As Range, rng As Range, Col As String
Col = "d"
Set rng = Range(Col & ":" & Col)
rng.Interior.ColorIndex = 0
For Each r In Range(Col & "1", Range(Col & "65536").End(xlUp))
If Application.CountIf(rng, r) > 1 Then
r.Interior.ColorIndex = 6
End If
Next
End Sub
I have an excel worksheet with about 10K rows of data in column A.
I have also another list of data, about 200 rows of data, in column G.
I need to color each cell in column A that contains, anywere in the string, any of the data strings in column G.
Example:
in column A
row 1: info@duende.com
row 2: rasko@silvester.com
row 3: supportonline@fabius.com
row 4: myhelp@friday.com
in column G:
row 1: help
row 2: info
row 3: support
I need rows 1, 3 and 4 in column A to be colored.
I've been racking my brains trying to find a way of doing this. I have a list (column A in Excel) of over 50,000 organisations and I'd like to know what the most common words used in the names are. Ideally it would great if I could produce a top 10 list of the most common words at the top e.g. Ltd, School or Church with a count in the next column of how times that word it appears
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a list of around 50000 names. I need to count how many are unique.
I sent this before but the formula I was given wasn't correct (as you will see from the file). In Column B of the second sheet (Data) of the attached file, I want to bring back the relevant name form the first sheet (List), which involves searching through the long descriptions from column A on the Data sheet for the name on the List sheet.

I have been trying to format the rows on this sheet to color scale red based on the number of repeat text strings in Column E. Referring to the attached example sheet, '321/312.2/321.3' appears the most times and the goal is to color code the rows it appears in the deepest shade of red, then the next highest occurring string would shade the rows it appears in a lighter shade, etc, in descending order. Our team currently does this across multiple sheets manually everyday and it would be a real time saver if we could get excel to do this automatically.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI am looking for a way of creating the following conditioned concatenation.

The "summary" table below gets info from the "detailed" table. The 'ID'is now unique. I'm looking for a formula on the 'VOL (concatenated)' column cells it should get all rows from the "detailed" table with the same ID and then concatenate the 'VOL' column results, comma separated:

I have two columns. One column has UPCs - some of which are duplicates. The second column just has number values. I'm trying to add the sum of all of the numbers in column two which are attached to their respective UPC. For example,
COL A///// Col B
11111111111///// 10
00000000000///// 15
11111111111///// 10
11111111111///// 4
00000000000///// 2
So, I need a third and fourth column to give me the total value for a single SKU(col A) of all the values in col B. In this example the Third column would contain the SKU, and the fourth column would contain the sum of all values in column B that are associated with the single SKU in column three. The third and fourth column would look like this:
COL C///// COL D
11111111111///// 24
00000000000///// 17
Here is what I am trying to accomplish.
I have to columns.
I have copied column A from a PDF file. It contains entries like this, all in the same column:
5 0.002HP Direct- 26845 7/1959 Airesearch
This column contains an ID # (5), a description (0.002HP Direct), a part # (26845), a date (7/1959), and a manufacturer (Airesearch). All this info is in one column. This column is 11,000+ entries long.
I have column B which is 45,000+ entries long, and contains ONLY part numbers, like this:
325111
I would like to compare column B to find the matching results from within the text of column A, and put these matches into column C.
augmenting current code to select the column after a column. Current code is:
Code:
If Sheets(data_sheet1).Cells(2, iCol).Value = "Stations" Then TargetCol = 1
If Sheets(data_sheet1).Cells(2, iCol).Value = "Agency" Then TargetCol = 2
If Sheets(data_sheet1).Cells(2, iCol).Value = "Advertisers" Then TargetCol = 3
If Sheets(data_sheet1).Cells(2, iCol).Value = "Product Code" Then TargetCol = 4
The next line should find the column after "Product Code".
I have a working formula that gives me the last value in a column using Index formula below. How can i slightly adapt the formula to find the maximum value in that column instead?

How can i know name of the column.

lLastRow = ActiveSheet.Cells(Rows.Count, "a").End(xlUp).Row
Can anyone give me the version of this that would find the last cell in a row that contains data. The code would be used in a loop so I would need the row reference to be a variable.

I have a large list of numbers in two columns. I need to know what numbers are in column A but don't appear in column B. For example if the numbers are 1 2 and 3 in column A but column B only has 1 and 2 I need to know that 3 is missing.
the only thing I can think of is doing =IF(A1=B1,"TRUE","FALSE") however typing this a thousand times would not be practical.
Is there a macro that can check column A against column B and tell me which ones are missing?
In a column i have multiple names, most individual names appear many times.
