The easiest way of explaining what I'm after is to say, I have letters of the alphabet, in their own cells, and I want to find them by way of a search. I don't mind how this is done, but it would be good if for example you entered A, C and E, any cells containing those letters changed, maybe became bold, or the cell filled with colour.

I would like to select all cells in column A that begin with the text "SP". Some cells will be contiguous but others will not. For instance in one case, I would like the macro to select cells with the text "SP" which would result in cells A1, A2, A3, A10, A15 being selected. I am working on building a macro that will then do other things to these cells/rows so this is the first step.
The below code will select the first cell with "SP". How would I alter this code to only search Column A and select multiple cells? or totally different code.
Code:
Sub test()
Dim r As RangeSet
r = Cells.Find(what:="SP", LookIn:=xlValues, lookat:=xlWhole)
If Not r Is Nothing Then r.Select
End Sub
If I'm using this function to find the specific text "EXPIRED" in the specified cells, how can I add additional cell ranges on the same sheet to this function?
D17:D34 as well as F17:F34
=IF(ISERROR(MATCH("EXPIRED",Homepage!D17:D34,FALSE)),?"OK","ALERTS")
on one sheet we have a summary of the main list, which includes totals of money recieved, totals of all the different sources (ie, where they heard about us from), the totals of the frequencies they pay (ie, how many donate monthly, quarterly...) ... etc. on the next sheet we have the "main" list of donors, their IDs, amounts, frequency, source ...
the totals on the first sheet are updated manually, but i want to change that as there are a great number of errors.
I have a report that in column BX has a large string of text (html information). Within this text there is a phrase called "| Hear = Education Website |" The phrase Education Website can be a variety of things though (Up to 9 choices). What is a formula I could use to just pull out the text after "Hear =" but before |""?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a column that is filled with text of varying lengths and I'd like to search through each cell in that column looking for a specific word or words. Unfortunately the length of the text varys greatly between each cell and there is very little uniformity so I need to be able to search through the entire entry in each cell and then highlight that row if a specific word or words are found.
I'd also like to be able to add a number "1" in another column on the same row if the search finds a word or words. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
If the cell only contains the exact word or string I'm looking for then it's easy but I can't figure out how to search through text in a cell that contains more than I'm looking for.
example: Lets say I'm loooking for "caught fire"
column Q contains:
1 "The computer caught fire after several hours"
2 "A house on the hill caught fire"
If "caught fire" exists in the cell being checked, then highlight the row and put a 1 in a specific column, lets say J.
I have a userform where the user will identify a record to delete. I need to search another worksheet (Month) for the event's name which is associated a date. Once it finds this event's name I need to clear the contents of that cell.

I’d like to return the range (or cells address) that includes text formatted in Bold and Arial font, this is always in Column “B”, so I’m actually behind the rows number....
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am trying to search text cells to return a word count within a particular row of cells and I am currently using the following formula:
=COUNTIF($D4669:$EI4669,$O$3), where cell o3 contains the word to search and $D4669:$EI4669 the data.
However, this formula misses data that contains characters such as "," etc.
What formula I should use for this condition:
A (Contains many months, e.g. 3 November, 2 December, 10 January, etc. -- in excel date standard format mm/dd/yy)
B (Contains Paid, On process & Waiting for Invoice -- using IF formula)
I want to calculate the percentages of November that has been paid from all of A that contains November in it in column C.
What formula i should use?
I already use =SUMPRODUCT for counting the November.
I only want to use 1 other column to calculate the percentage (C column)

I want to have a formula that finds the sum of the values in Col 1 (Qty) for the rows that equal, eg: 140, in Col 2 (Product) So that I can have a list of Products of the Qty that relates to each product. (there are products in increments of 10 from 10 to 920, that is, 92 products)
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?
View 14 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to match certain transactions between two bank accounts, where the only like values are going to be date and disbursement/deposit amount. Obviously vlookup will not work here because there are many duplicate values. In the attachment I put in a Vlookup in the Account 2 tab to try and demonstrate what I'm trying to do exactly, which is match deposits in Account 2 with Disbursements in Account 1.
After looking around I found that maybe a combination of INDEX/MATCH would work here but how to get it to work or even if it is appropriate in this situation.
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 have 1000 diff names in a spread sheet and wish to search another spread sheet with these names on and alot more.

and copy all the informtaion in the cells to a new sheet, if the name is not found i would like something like "no info found" to be seen.

Look up that month on the "info" worksheet to then copy and paste all the dates for that month on to a worksheet called "Working Hours". This is the code I have at the moment...not much I know, I don't know how to format the code in to tags:
Sub WorkingDays()
Dim LastRow As Long
Dim Month As String 'setting the object of Month being the data we need to find
Month = InputBox("Please enter the month you wish to record, eg July Payday")

Is there a way to search responses from a specific Person? I think it was before the Mr Excel format change. Domenic was the responder.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm building a spreadsheet which has a formula which performs a vlookup on a sheet. Now I want to leave the vlookup formula so that you don't need to change it. What I want to achieve is that the vlookup table array references a cell in the current worksheet which is a name of another worksheet.
What this will enable me to do is to keep the forumla unchanged by by changing the cell with the worksheet name in it points the vlookup to a different sheet. This is because I have multiple sheets which have similar data on and I don;t want to edit the forumla to point to the different sheets.
1) I am trying to find a matching value in a table. I have a 5*252 table that starts in B2. So the table goes from B2 to F253. I am trying to match a value in column D (column 3 in the table and column 4 in the spreadsheet) with a value in Column F (column 5 in the table and column 6 in the spreadsheet). The original value is in cell 222 in the table and cell 224 in the spreadsheet.
I tried the LOOKUP, VLOOKUP and HLOOKUP functions, but they return nothing but N/A. I use a reference cell or just the value for the lookup value but it does not work. I do not know if I am using the wrong formulas or what, but I have tried various permutations. (question 3 in excel workbook )
2) I am trying to calculate the standard deviation of a column D (contains both numbers and text) divided by column B (first in table). Excel does not appear to have a custom division formula. It has a remainder and a quotient formula which does not apply here. The problem is that the STDEV function does not allow for a division sign (/) in the formula. the STDEV function does ignore texts.
Is there a way for me to divide a cell ( containing both letters and numbers) by another cell just containing numbers and then taking the standard deviation of those values all in one formula?
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?
I’m trying to figure out how to show the highest occurrence of text in 10 cells which are not next to each other. Some of the cells will also be blank And the other thing is if there is a draw e.g. 5 2Z and 5 1Z I'd like it to show that, either with a word e.g. "DRAW" or anything really other than just putting whichever of the 2 "notes" in it feels like
Attached is a spreadsheet (all other data deleted) that shows what I am wanting to do – I have typed the results I am after directly in to the cells in columns BE & BF – BE will need some kind of countif, but when I try that is says I have too many arguments! I have to leave the columns in between blank in this case as they have other info in them, which is really annoying as if those 10 cells were contiguous then the formula
some of the code proved inflexible when applied to other columns of data. I have some VBA code that could work if it can be modified. First the code:
Sub ColorMe()
Dim lRw As Long
lRw = Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
[Code].....
The way things are right now, if a cell in the B-column contains the word "April" (and ONLY that word), the contents of the C-column's cell on the same row receives a red font color (index 3 as per the example above). The idea is to modify the code so that it searches for the word "April" in a string of text such as "Mike's April Trip" and color the contents of the cell to the right of it accordingly. Is this possible?
As an aside, conditional formatting does not work for the purpose that the cells are being colored for. It needs to remain hard-coded like in the script above, hence why I am just looking to modify something that 'sort-of' works.

I am working on a project that I feel should be relatively simple but I seem to be stuck. My Goal: To add information to specific rows of data in the worksheet. I want to use a user form, and eliminate as much typing for the user as possible. I have already designed my user form, and written the code to identify the row in which I want to edit. Nonetheless, I do not know how to code the insertion of the new data. The data I want to add will be in empty cells at the end(right) of the data table.

I am trying to write a macro to open a specific file, but need to search multiple folders within folders to find it.
The file name I need to open is "Escalation Adherence-Details " & Format(Date, "mm-dd-yy") & ".xlsx".
I need to drill down to the Adherence Report folder and then have the macro search through folders for each year (2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, etc) and then each month within each year (1 January, 2 February, 3 March, etc), at which point I would then find that day's file.
So far I have the following:
Code:
Sub Open_ESCL_Report()
Workbooks.Open Filename:=*****.****.****.******.comsharesPurchasingTeam XEscalationAdherence Report & "Escalation Adherence-Details " & Format(Date, "mm-dd-yy") & ".xlsx"
End Sub
Each file is stored in it's respective month folder as .....Adherence Report(Year)(Month)(File).xlsx
