Finding First Instance Of Multiple Text Entries

Mar 14, 2014

I have a list of names that are mixed and in no order (and need to stay out of order, so not sorting allowed). I need to parse this list to give me the FIRST instance that each name shows up in the list. The one exception is that the first name, cell A1, will be auto-generated from a different workbook, and it is automatically named Name1.

So, in the example spreadsheet, Name1 (cell E2) must equal "Alice". The problem arises on Names2-4. Name2 (cell E3) should be David, Name3 (cell E3)=Jerry, and Name4 (cell E4)=Mark. I tried an array formula:

{=INDEX(A2:A13,MATCH(TRUE,A2:A13<>Name1),0)},

But it is yielding "Jerry" as Name2, when it needs to be Name3. And, of course, this doesn't work on Names3-4 at all. I don't think it matters, but just in case, A2:A13 will be data validation lists.

Macro:finding Next Instance Of Text Using FindNext Method

Dec 16, 2006

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).

Finding Cells With First Instance Of Number

Feb 20, 2009

I've got a very large spreadsheet wherein I need to write a formula for each row to find the first cell with any entry greater than 0 and then add to that cell the contents ONLY 5 cells contiguious to it.

For example data set is this (in .csv format for you)

(column headers)
Name, Jan01, Feb01, March01, April01, May01, June01, July01, Aug01, Sept01, Oct01, Nov01, Dec01, Jan02, Feb02, March02, April02, May02

Jones,0,0,0,0,5,2,7,9,3,10,13,4,8,9,22,7,9
Smith,0,0,3,8,17,23,9,3,16,28,44,7,6,9,10,5,12,19,10

I need formula to find first instance in each row of entry greater than 0 and then add to that the contents of next 5 cells.

Jones would find the 5 and then add the 2,7,9,3,10 to it for formula result of 36
Smith would find the 3 and then add the 8,17,23,9,3 to it for formual result of 63

Duplicates Finding Entries In Column A Which Match Any Of Column C Entries

May 7, 2014

What I need to do is sort certain entries in longer list (column A, it is in .csv format and needs to be in it so coordinates and names and ID, all sorted with commas) and I have another list (column C) which is shorter list of certain IDs. I googled and tried and got some results for the basic structure but the fuction seems to fail. It doesn't matter how I get that third list done, but there is only one criteria: since the list in column A is really long and those entries need to keep the .csv formatting, the function should copy that info what is in the matching cells.

Let me try to put it simple: .csv cells from column A that have matching ID from column C should be copied to column B (or N).

the function I'm working with right now is

=IF(ISERROR(FIND($C:$C; A1))=TRUE;"0";A1)

This formula allows me to find the lowest value in column U where column N contains the text "NO".

{=MIN(IF($N$2:$N$10000="NO",$U$2:$U$10000))}

I want to add another condition so that the formula only returns the lowest value in column U where (i) column N contains the text "NO" and also (ii) column F contains the text "YES".

Finding Duplicate Cell Entries

Dec 5, 2009

I have a lengthy excel spreadsheet in which I catalog all of my Karaoke song collection. I would like to be able to automatically locate (not delete) cells in which there are duplicate song titles. For my purposes just finding these items quickly so I may deal with them in a manner I've already developed is all I want to do. VBA, Macro or whatever would be appreciated. I'm a relative novice with macros and VBA.

For example row 12 may have the song title "Crazy" in column C and later row 1200 may have the same song title. Manually searching the spreadsheet for dupliates is way too time consuming so I think it can be seen why I'm looking to unlock the power of excel to do this for me.

One Instance Of Each Value Within Text Range

Jul 10, 2014

I have a list of text cells in column A, the list is a dynamic one that changes depending on the property selected in a cell of another sheet.

Example data... Column A is Block Name, Column B is Room Number.

---------A----------------B-------
1--Main Building-------001
2--Block A--------------001
3--Block A--------------002
4--Main Building-------002
5--Block B--------------001
6--Block A--------------003
7--Main Building-------002a
8--BSS House----------BSS
9--Main Building-------003

What I need is for a formula that lists one example of each instance included in Column A.

As per the example data above, the expected results when dragging down from C1 through to C9 would be:

---------A----------------B--------------C--------
1--Main Building-------001-------Main Building
2--Block A--------------001-------Block A
3--Block A--------------002-------Block B
4--Main Building-------002-------BSS House
5--Block B--------------001-------
6--Block A--------------003-------
7--Main Building-------002a-------
8--BSS House----------BSS-------
9--Main Building-------003-------

I know I could use a pivot table to do this but as I need this to be dynamic, and also to be used with Excel on an iPad Air, I can't as it doesn't support pivot tables or VB to automatically refresh it.

VLookup / Finding Reverse Entries In Two Columns?

Dec 23, 2013

I have a dataset that looks like below -

Header1 Header2 Data
100 101 20.50
102 19
103 1003.2
101 100 20.50
200 300
102 100 20
200 104 30

Now, what i need to do is for each of the rows in my dataset, I need to find the reverse entries (consider first row where header 1 is 100 and header2 is 101, I need to search the entire dataset to find if I have some data for header1 is 101 and header2 is 100). In this case, I do have such data where header1 is 101 and header2 is 100.

Header1 Header2 Data Reverse Entry Difference
100 101 20.50 20.50 0
102 19 20 -1
103 1003.2 Not found Not found
101 100 20.50 20.50 0
200 300 30 270
102 100 20 19 1
200 101 30 300 -270

let me know if that's possible through excel formulas?

I need a column D with such data and column E for differences. So that, my final output should look like below -

Multiple Instance Of Excel

Feb 5, 2010

I am working on an application for a monthly sports tournament that I run. There are three workbooks to this application: the Administration workbook, the Bracket workbook, and the Leaderboard workbook. I currently have a dual monitor setup (extended, not clone) with my laptop in front of me and a large TV on the wall for the players to see.

In order for the players to see the bracket and the leaderboard, I open excel, then I open the Bracket.xlsm workbook, then the Leaderboard.xlsm workbook, and I drag those to the TV. I then open another instance of excel on my laptop, and open the Administration workbook. This stays on my laptop and the players cannot see it.

Here's what I want it to do:

In less words, the administration workbook controls the other two workbooks. Every time a player reports a win/loss, I enter that into the Administration workbook, and that needs to update both the bracket and the leaderboard, so the players can see it on the TV. So, basically, all the data is in the administration workbook, and the other two serve as displays for that data in a format the players can understand.

Here's my problem:

When I run a macro that is supposed to update the other two workbooks, I get an error: "Runtime Error '9': Subscript out of range." I believe this is because of the seperate instances of Excel. Since Bracket and Leaderboard are in a different instance than Administration, it can't 'see' those other two workbooks. Below is the part of the code that deals with these three workbooks: ....

How To Remove Text After The Second Instance Of An Asterisk?

Jun 18, 2009

I'm trying to convert variable length strings which are being copied from a display and loaded into an array.

I have it working fine for the majority of the data, which comes in looking like "*ABC@US" or "*AABC@US"

However, some of the data looks a bit different, particularly lacking the @ symbol. So what I end up with is

"*ABC US*ABC US*ABC US"

What I need to get to is just "ABC US" FYI the US part can be 1-5 characters.

SO... I need a way to truncate anything after the second instance of the asterisk. Haven't been able to get it to work using various trim, mid, len, left, right, etc functions.

Return Nth Instance Of Text String

I have the following formula that returns the most frequently occuring string in a range. what I would like to do is return the 2nd, 3rd 4th and 5th most common occourance as well. I am not sure if I can do this by adjusting this formula or whether that would be a completely diffent formula or worst case senario it is not possible at all.

=INDEX(B2:B1537,MATCH(MAX(COUNTIF(B2:B1537,B2:B1537)),COUNTIF(B2:B1537,B2:B1537),0))

obviously this is an array.

Finding Unique Entries Among Two Columns Of Alphanumeric Data

Jun 16, 2006

Columns A & B contain several thousand Project Numbers (e.g., P1052, PA844, etc.). Many of the Project Numbers in column B are the same as in column A, but column B also has additional (i.e., newer) Project Numbers scattered throughout. Ideally, I would like to use a built-in function (versus a custom function if possible) that compares all the Project Numbers in both columns and then separately lists those that are unique to column B.

Finding Duplicate Entries In Column Considering Indirect Referencing

Jun 27, 2007

I wonder if there is any easy way of findinig (numerical) duplicate entries in a column? Some cells are empty, in case this might cause a problem. I do not wish to delete duplicate rows automatically, just to find them. Why not just sort it? Because indirect referenceing is used where each row corresponds to a separate spreadsheet in the workbook. What I need is to find the duplicate so that I manually can erase one of the spreadsheets for the particular case and adjusting a reference list.

Opening Single Instance In Multiple Windows

Any way to open a single instance of excel in two different windows. I use multiple monitors, and I like to have one worksheet maximized on one screen, and another worksheet maximized on the other, but when both worksheets are open in the same instance of excel this does not seem possible. Also, I don't want to use two separate instances, because then I can't paste special from one worksheet to the other.

Multiple Instances (VBA To Open 3 Workbooks In Their Own Session/instance)

Feb 2, 2010

I'd like to use VBA to open 3 workbooks in their own session/instance/etc of Excel 2007. Ideally, there will be one main workbook, that upon opening will subsequently open the other 3 workbooks.

Also, when I open that first main workbook, I will obviously have to enable macros to get any code to run. Is there a way to carry this enabling of macros over to the other sessions to avoid having to enable macros in all 3 other workbooks? (Changing my security settings isn't an option)

Convert Array Into Text And Remove Duplicate Entries From Text In Cell?

Jun 12, 2014

I have the following two columns, and would like to obtain for each individual Company, the corresponding Country values excluding duplicates as text in a single cell.

Company 2Country B
Company 2Country C
Company 3Country C
Company 3Country C
Company 5Country A
Company 5Country C
Company 5Country C

For example:
- For Company 2, a cell containing "Country B, Country C"
- For Company 3, a cell containing "Country C"
- For Company 5, a cell containing "Country A, Country C"

I've approached generating an array using an IF statement, as in =IF(INDEX(A1:A8="Company 5",,),INDEX(B1:B8,,)," "), which returns the following array: ={" ";" ";" ";" ";" ";" ";" ";"Country A";"Country C";"Country C";" ";" ";" ";" "}.

The question is: how do I get that array to produce, as text in a cell: "Country A, Country C". Note that the duplicate Country C has been removed.

There are a few "StringConcat" User-defined functions that I've found elsewhere on the internet, but they don't seem to be able to handle to conditionally generated IF Index array, which I would think is key to parsing between Countries corresponding to each Company in the list.

Splitting Multiple Entries In Single Cell Into Multiple Columns

I am looking to split multiple different entries in a single cell into multiple columns and repeat this for all rows

Example (I have the below in a single Cell as column headers)
NCM Server Mgmt VLAN Site ID

Enabled 10.10.10.0 50 TEST SITE 1
Enabled 10.10.20.0 50 TEST SITE 2
Disabled 10.10.30.0 50 TEST SITE 3

How I could achieve this as I have a number of projects where this would become useful

I know you can use delimiters but with spaces between the values I just can't fathom a way forward.

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.

Finding Multiple Values For Specific Individual Through Multiple Sheets

Jan 5, 2014

I am working with a nonprofit to set up their financial ledgers. There is one workbook with 12 sheets, one for each month. The goal is to be able to set up a formula that searches through all 12 sheets for every donation that a specific individual has made. For instance, let's say that John Smith gave x amount of money on 1/1/2000, y amount of money on 1/10/2000, and z amount of money on 2/2/2000. This data will appear on 2 different worksheets. I have the following formula, which allows me to look through one sheet at a time:

{=INDEX(Jan!$B:$B,SMALL(IF(Jan!$A:$A=Smith!$A$2,ROW(Jan!$A:$A)),ROW(1:1)))}

Where Column A in each sheet is individual name, and column B is amount donated. Sheet "Jan" is the data for the month of January, and sheet "Smith" is the culmination of John Smith's donations for the full year. Using this array function, I am able to retrieve all data for John Smith in the month of January, but I can't find a way to make one function that searches for all of John Smith's donations in each month. Is there a way to build an array function in VBA that would accomplish this?

Search For Text Delete This Row And Delete The Row For Every Instance

Apr 29, 2008

I have an formula if statement that returns "deletethisrow" if the test is true.

For every occurence of "deletethisrow" I want to delete the row. The number instances will be variable each time I run the file. So maybe it will find that string, maybe it will find 10 instances. I want to do some kind of loop that won't error out when it cannot find "deletethisrow", but will delete the rows for each instance where it does find this string.

I know it was verbose, but if I just do a loop for a fixed number of loops it will error out if it runs out of rows to delete.
