Macros question - The user enters a word, e.g. Malaysia in a particular cell (always the same location) and I want the macro to be able to find the next cell with that word in it, but it appears that when using macros you can't paste anything into the find function, so was just wondering what to do!
View 1 RepliesI 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 do data entry for a driveway company. I get addresses and phone numbers, and then call the people to offer services. I keep track of my calls on the spreadsheet, color coded for my results, green for leads, yellow for voicemail/no answer, and red for not interested.
I have formulas in cells M2 through M8 to give me my overall stats for the calls I have made, it filters them by color for leads, missed calls, and rejections, and a couple other stats (mostly for my own curiosity)
What I'm trying to add is the cells L10 to M13, I want to be able to input a date, for instance 8/15, and have it run the same stats, just for that day essentially. So, I need it to search the last 2 columns in the table for the text that I input into cell M10, and then run the color based formula on those cells, and total them up in the appropriate cells, M11, M12, and M13.
The 2 Stats tables are the same at the moment in the sample, as I only included one particular street that I have mapped, my actual table is nearly 3000 rows.
I have a spreadsheet that uses VB macros to calculate sums of cells based on the font color of the numbers inside. It used to be fairly easy going through each cell and "classifying" them by color, so that my macros can go ahead and sum the numbers in each respective color's cell... but now I have a huge amount of numbers and would like to automate the process somewhat. Here's an example using the A and B columns:
flight $400
hotel $150
hotel $130
meal $20
meal $15
flight $350
I tried using conditional formatting to automatically change the color of the adjacent cells based on the presence of a keyword such as "flight" or "hotel", but this change is only cosmetic, and doesn't actually change the font color (it is still the default black, hence why my color-summing macros won't work!).
I'm including a sample macro for what I use to color-sum my cells, but what I am looking to automate the color-coding process based on looking for keywords as explained above in my example. Here is one of the working color-summing macros (for red, in this case) if you'd like to use it as a reference:
Function SumRed(SelectedCells As Range)
' Adds the values of the cells where the font colour is red(3).
Dim Cell As Object
Dim x As Double

I am trying to do is to make it so that users can enter data into my form (I have managed to create the form and am working on trying to figure out how to get the info entered into the form to appear in my worksheet) and then the data will cause the information to, basically, compile sentences that I want to appear in one of three cells at the bottom of the worksheet.
Essentially, at this point in time, the end goal is to make 3 cells that contain text. Eventually, this text will be indexed elsewhere, but that is for the next person to deal with. I am creating a prototype that I want to present as a process improvement.
So, when the user selects 3 in cell D7 I want the text "Customer purchased 3 Widgets at $20 each." to print in cell 82B.
I also want the user to be able to copy and paste some customer records from another program directly into a cell in the form that will just print (unchanged) into one of these boxes, too.
Lastly, I want the user to be able to select checkboxes that will, when selected, print a comment that will print in two of these boxes. For example, if the user selects yes for cell D26 then I want the text "Customer not eligible for free shipping" to appear in both cells C82 and D82.
I am creating a macro to automate data analysis for work, but I've become stuck.
I need to find the coordinate of the first cell in a column with word "reserved" or "extended" contained in the cell, and then assign the row number of that coordinate as a variable to use for moving data around. Basically, I want something like VLOOKUP, but instead of returning a value, I want it to return the coordinate.
I am trying to extract text from one cell into another, for example if in cell A2 I have text " {Operating System Issue} ~Word~ I got a new PC i used to have avaya…" in cell b2 i want {Operating System Issue} and in Cell c2 I want ~Word~.
This is what i am doing, in Cell B2 in putting formulla as =MID($A2,FIND("{",$A2,1),FIND("}",$A2,1)) and in cell C2 i am putting formulla as =MID($A2,FIND("~",$A2,1),FIND("~",$A2,1)). However in cell C2 thsi si what I am getting
~Word~ I got a new PC i used
i dont want anything after "~" sign. What i need is only the text that is in betwwen "~" sign.
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?
A cell is having some content eg. "This is MrExcel Forum". Now the user selects (By dragging the cursor or Shift + Arrow keys) - "is MrE".
Is there a way i can access only this selected data thru vba?
Something like when u select some text in a cell & right click > Look-up , the selected text shows up on the look-up box.
I'm trying to use the below vba code that was provided by another member. The code show work to bold any text that is found matching the text string provided.
Problem I'm having is that I get a 'Type mismatch' error when the code tries to run, as below:

I need to find the row number of a cell based on a particular value. I am populating a row within a spreadsheet with a value (the columns have unique identifiers). After that is done, I need to go to a different spreadsheet, grab different values, and place them in a different column in the above referenced spreadsheet. So, what I want to do is find the row number for the unique identifier, then place the value in the column.
View 3 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to select a cell on any given row and the value of a cell on that row for example C5 & C6 are shown in cells A1 and B1 respectively? So if the user moved down the sheet selecting different rows the data would change?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a macro that runs only if the user has selected a cell in column "D". I want it to fill in the background color of the selected cell and then make the value of column "M", row "whatever row the selection is on" = 1.
How to change the background color, but am unsure how to accomplish the other two tasks.
Code:

Here's the situation (an example):
I have sheet1 that contains the following information
Column A Column B
company1 - book value 0,5
company1 - earnings 0.2
company1 - R&D 1111
company1 - total assets 200000
company2 - book value 2
company2 - earnings 333
company2 - total assets 12
So column B contains only numbers and note that for company 2 I do not have any numbers on R&D.
I have in sheet2 only once the company name. I would like now that if column a contains the text "book value" to have the value of column B pasted in sheet 2 column B. Same for earnings to be pasted in column C. R&D in column D and if R&D is not present for that company then the value should say something like unknown.
I have one column that contains a monetary amount (column AQ) , and another that contains text reading either "inflows" or "outflows" (column AC)
When AC says "inflows", AQ should be positive, and when AC says "Outflows", AQ should be negative.
I need the text in column AQ (the monetary amount) to become red when the the opposite is true.
i.e. When AQ is negative and AC says "Inflows", AQ should become red. And when AQ is positive and AC says "Outflows", AQ should become red.
I want to color a cell based upon finding a corresponding value from a table.
Ex: In Cell B3: If B4 Value is in the Scorecard Table Then B3 will be a certain color.
This is for highlighting critical fields.
The Table name is Scorecard and I also have a named range of Scorcard_Fields within the Scorecard Table that holds the Lookup Values.
I am attempting to update a column of numeric values based on finding and validating record IDs in two different worksheets. So for example if in worksheet1 in column 'C' the ID is 1234ETC and in worksheet2 1234ETC is found then I want to update worksheet2 in the corresponding cell for that record ID in column 'J' with the information from worksheet 1. So far I have been using a routine like the following to go through and compare the ID's but now I need to update the other cells in column 'J' reveiw the following and see if there is a way to improve upon this.
Sub UpdateCommitmentAmtsFromImport()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

I have attached a sample file.
There are two sheets Stock and BrancnID The stock sheet has a very huge date ( approx 30000 ). The Stock Id of all the records are unique. Every day I get the Stock ID numbers only in excel format from different branches. Every day I have to match the ID numbers received and delete its data in the Stock sheet ( to get an idea I have shown this in sheet3 ).
Is there is any code where I copy paste the ID numbers from the varoius excel sheets into my excel file in the BranchID sheet and the data gets deleted. i.e as I paste the data the record gets deleted but not the Stock ID number. Also the next day when I get new ID numbers and I delete the old ID numbers from the BranchID sheet the data should not re-appear in the Stock sheet.

If any cell in range T75:KH1000 is selected whose value is "Exit", call the macro named View6.
(There are about 40 non-contiguous cells in this range whose value is "Exit".)
I need to run this on all cells in column a not just A2...:

I also need to add to this code an option for finding text on the particular URL before the cycle is completed and looped to the next cell.
I am trying to select and move text from one column to another. I have roughly 1,000 cells in column A and I would like to tell Excel to select characters at certain positions and move them into the adjacent column.
I want it to look like this...

Each cell in column A has a 9-letter sequence. I would like to move characters 2,3 and 9 into the adjacent column
Is it possible to have a marco that will look at the data in a cell/multiple cells and search a network drive for a folder named with the same data in a cell? For example, I used a marco to create a folder from the contents in cell A2. Can a macro be reversed in that if I have a spreadsheet with a list of data in A2,A3, A4 and so on, can it check a network drive to see if a folder has been created with the same data?
View 10 Replies View RelatedI have a macro to sort a very large list of materials by a variety of conditions.
The macro runs automatically when a cell on the master list spread sheet is selected and using If/ElseIf it sorts based on what cell they have selected.
Example
If ActiveCell = "ALUMINIZED" Then
ActiveSheet.Range("$A$14:$K$1945").AutoFilter Field:=2
ActiveSheet.Range("$A$14:$K$1945").AutoFilter Field:=4
ActiveSheet.Range("$A$14:$K$1945").AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:= _"Aluminized"
Which is working perfectly. The problem I am having is that some of the cells are two lines so it looks like this:
BE
BEARINGS
I don't know how to get it to launch based on that cell content because of the line break in there. Can I make it launch based on the first two characters only?
I have a worksheet in my workbook that contains data for 25 different airfoils, each one in a cell space of 3 columns and 50 rows.
