Formula To Match Partial Text String?
Jun 3, 2014I'm working on a formula to make it enable a part of the text then return the best possible match. Below is my formula
=MATCH("*"&$A11&"*",'[Customer Master List - 05.30.xlsx]Export Worksheet'!$B$82:$B$1298,0)
However, it works with some text but won't work for some.
For example, I have this text CARE-A-LOT, INC and in the master sheet there is a similar text like this CARE-A-LOT. I want it to return CARE-A-LOT as this the best match possible.
Match Row That Contains Text Text String; List Associated Values From Pivot Table
Mar 28, 2009refer 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.

Jun 16, 2014In the four rows of text below I'm trying to match each gas stick to its corresponding gasline.
I think I can count over to "GAS STICK" and get the number. <15> From that point I can count over to "," (comma) and get that number. <26> So the gas stick will be between the first number and one less than the second number. <GAS STICK 1>
I need completing this code to place a the line or stick number in a cell B of the same row. Column A would have the description and column B of the same row would either be "1" or "11" respectively. Column C would be the shortened description (GAS STICK 1).
1] "HUNGA, DUNGA, GAS STICK 1, THINGY"
2] "DOHICKY, GAS STICK 11, THINGUS"
3] "SCAPPEN, DAPPER, GASLINE 1"
4] "SUCH, AND, SUCH, GASLINE 11"

Match Text String & Split Output
Oct 9, 2006I have a spreadsheet with Approx 900 rows of information that has been entered incorrectly.
Spreadsheet has 6 columns.
Contact Name
Contact Number
Company Name
Company Account Number
Order Date
Order Numbers
Every Order should have its own line - However I have approx 900 rows where the order numbers have multiple entries instead of single entries.
All the order numbers end "LO" and there all 8 digits long.
I wanted to know if its possible to use excel to look for all instances of "LO" in the column Order Numbers and delete the original Row and replace it with 3 rows with the same information.
Example:

I have 15 historic files each approx 35000 rows and I suspect there are more errors
Search For Substring Within String Of Text Which Is Exact Match?
Jan 6, 2014Let us say I have the following text in Cell A1. "There is a fault in the cal cycle.Need to update the records." And in cell A2 I have the following text. "Called for backup assistance. There is an issue with numbers." I cells B1 & B2 I need a particular formula which searches for the substring "cal" exactly and returns true if present. In cell A1, we have "cal" in the text. So it should return true for me in cell B1.
However in cell B2 I need false to be returned even though I have "Called" inside the text. I need true to be shown only for those cells where we have the exact text "cal" and no text characters in front or back of it.

Macro To Paste Values If Cell Value If Match Text String?
Jan 6, 2014In Sheet1, column Y looks into Sheet2 and returns the status of that specific order - the result displayed in column Y will be either blank or a variety of text strings (eg. received, pending etc).
I need to make a macro that looks into all the cells of column Y in Sheet 1 and copy/pastes as value into that same cell only if the formula in that cell returns text string "Received". It should not affect the other cells where the formula is returning either blank or a different text string.

Checking Range Of Numbers With Index Match?
Dec 16, 2013I have a standard table with quite a few rows. Columns I have are :
Text | Lower number | Higher number
What I would like to do is, in another worksheet, enter a number and I'd like to go through the table and if the entered number is in the range of the Lower and Higher number columns, have the Text displayed.
Using Index Match I can do this if the number matches Lower or Higher number but not if it's between them.

Transform Text String Into Formula
Aug 23, 2013How can I transform a text string into a formula. ='F1'!$C$2
This appears as a text and I want to convert it to a formula exactly like it's written. I made this formula like this because I need to get the value from 1000 sheets. So I use the formula to change the sheet number automatically.
But now I can not convert the text into a real formula.
I know that I could do it with a macro but I prefer to do it without using a macro.
Formula Based On Value Within Text String
Jul 23, 2014I have been trying to work out a formula without success so far. If you look at the this text string
Code:
Depart Doncaster Depot with a Mini bus at 0649
The "Mini" word in red is the one that I am trying to work out with.
Here is the problem. The "Mini" word could be replaced with 7 other words - Walk, Artic, Dart Smart, Maxi, Smart, Staff Car, or just bus with no explanation as to what type it is.
I need a formula to look at the text string and work out which one of the above categories are included in the text and based on that gives me either W, A, Dart Smart, Mx, S, Car, and the last to be just N.

Find Text String In A Value Instead Of In A Formula
Jul 18, 2007What formula can I use to search a range of cell values for a specific text string? My method is searching formulas instead, which is not what I want.
Background: I am developing a little test script for a project and I want to include some automatic validations to help make the job of the testers easier.
What I have set up so far:
1. Testers input numbers into specific fields M8 through M20.
2. Fields N8 through N20 automatically check fields M8 through M20 and compare those with what is contained in a range of hidden cells I set up in advance. A formula ensures that it reports "correct" or "incorrect" on a field-by-field basis, based on the comparison.
3. Cell O8 searches for the text string "incorrect" in cells N8 through N20. If that text string appears in any one of the cell values (not formulas), then O8 directs the tester to test again. If the text string "incorrect" does not appear, then cell O8 reports that the test was successful, and the tester can proceed to the next test (exact same setup repeats).
My only problem is in the formula used for the last step. I have tried a few different formulas I know in cell 08, but none are giving me the results I'm looking for. The closest I have come is a successful search and validation based on the string being in the formula instead of in the value of the given cell.
Formula To Indicate When Text String Appears In Array
Jun 30, 2014I have a long list of terms, and I need to identify which of these terms appear in another body of text strings. Rather than searching for each individual term, is there a formula that check the terms for me automatically.
The terms will appear in the larger body of text, but they won't appear on their own, so they won't be perfect matches.
I've attached a sheet to try to illustrate the problem.

Formula To Add All Of Times If Text String Contains Word
Jun 11, 2013I currently have a large amount of data extracted from a performance tracking system. The columns I am concerned with are Page Title and Time (the time it takes the system to navigate to the this page).
I am trying to create a dashboard to show:
Webpage Title (each unique instance of the webpage)Aggregate Time (total time it takes for all instances)# of Hits (Each time the value appears in the data)Average Time (this formula I can handle; Aggregate Time/# of Hits)
The major issue is that the webpage is extracted as XYZ001 -- PAGE1, XYZ439 -- PAGE2, XYZ854 -- PAGE1, etc. Basically, I am only concerned with what comes after the --.
Here is an example of the two tabs.
DASHBOARD TAB:
Page Title
Aggregate Time
# of Hits
Avg. Time
PAGE1
[Code]...
Basically, I am looking for a formula that says,
For any instance in the Page Title column that contains PAGE3, add the amount in the Time column (i.e., 1.2 +.5).

Formula To Pick Out Text In Middle Of String And Return
Jan 20, 2014I am looking for a formula to remove the text 2.2 from the string Rav4 2.2 D-4d X or 1.33 out of Yaris 1.33 Vvt etc, I have tried using the formula
=IF(P2="","",VLOOKUP("*"&P2&"*",AM$1:AN$25,2,1))
But it just keeps returning #N/A. I have all the variables outlined in cells AM$1:AN$25 hence the reference. I currently have the formula
=IF(P2="","",VLOOKUP(P2&"*",AK$1:AL$25,2,1))
Which is working perfectly @ finding and returning the start of the string but just cannot get the one to find the middle characters.
Order For The Text String To Turn Into An Active Formula
Jan 10, 2007When building complex and long formulas in excel which can not be auto
filled due to non progressive variables I tend to combine several cells
containing parts of the formula using the ampersand (&) operator.
E.g. B2=[A1&A2&A3&A4]
where:
A1=[=]
A2=[INDIRECT($A$1&"!"&"S]
A3=[8]
A4=[")]
The result will then look like this: =INDIRECT($A$1&"!"&"S8"), then I
copy all the values created by this method (it could be several
thousand)
and past them into the appropriate worksheet using: past special > past
values.
The problem is that in order for the text string to turn into an active
formula I have to go into each individual cell (F2) and hit Enter. When
I am working with thousand of cells this is not very feasible.

Match Function Not Matching Text In Formula?
Jul 11, 2014with Match function not matching text in this formula?
Using the below formula cell $L$11 (it contains "abc") will not match the respective cell contents in array E:E even though "abc" is in a cell within column E.
=IFERROR(INDEX('Paste In Data File'!G:G,MATCH($L$11,IF('Paste In Data File'!C:C=B14,'Paste In Data File'!E:E),0)),"")
The cells within column E are populated using a formula such as =IF(MID(A6,3,1)="a",MID(A6,435,9),"")
Column A is the data source and contains a text string.
After much trial and error, it seems the cause preventing the match is; $L$11 contains typed in text "abc" and the above formula for column E is pulling in 9 characters, not just 3.
It seems that if I can modify the entry for the array E:E to just look at the left 3 characters only, it may work.Problem is I do not know how to modify E:E accordingly.

choosing bell, bottle, print, stocking can all have BLUE placed before them to make bluebottle, blueprint etc. That would be the correct answer.

There would be 4 rows in total for 4 different answers to be made from the 16 words on offer. I have tried everything to get it to work in the 5th cell but it's difficult.
