Formula For Finding / Replacing Values?

Jan 14, 2013

I have two pairs of columns, A B and E F.

Column A contains one numeric value in each row. Column B lists one person's name in each row.

Column E contains a distinct list of the names found in column B (no repeats), with one name in each row. Each row of column F contains one alpha ID that belongs to the adjacent name in column E.

I need to replace each name in column B with its respective alpha ID from column F, effectively pairing each numeric value in column A with an alpha ID from column F.

Have I stated my goal clearly enough? I could Find/Replace a few hundred times, but I thought there might be a better way using an Excel formula. I'm a beginner-intermediate user, and I clearly don't know enough about Excel to even ask about specific functions for this task.

Finding And Replacing Multiple Values?

Jun 14, 2014

I'm currently doing a project which requires me to find and replace a large number of values.

ie. Column A Row 1 = 80099, Column A Row 2 = 554441, Column A Row 3 = Z5478, CAR4 = B89877 etc...

I need to replace these numbers with meaningful values and I have a reference table to tell me what these codes mean ie. 80099 = apple juice, 554441 = orange puree, Z5478 = pumpkin soup, B89877 = banana smoothie. The reference table is in a separate excel spreadsheet and is tabulated in two columns ie. Column A = "the code", Column B = "the value".

There are like 1000+ codes I need to find and replace which I know is going to kill me if I did it manually. How do I find and replace all the values?

Finding Data In 1 Worksheet And Replacing On Another

Feb 20, 2009

It might be a simple question but ive been trying for over a week now and i just cant do it (probably cos my knowledge of VB is useless )

What i need to do is:

I have 2 worksheets: worksheet 1 Articles and worksheet 2 New Prices.

Whats common on both worksheets is Reference Nš (In the case of worksheet 1 its column E and in worksheet 2 its B), what i need to do is replace the price corresponding to reference nš in worksheet 2 (In column E) with the price of the corresponding reference number in worksheet 1 (in column N).

Its a basic find and replace, but its a list of over 17.000 articles so the best way is VB, so i look through your lists and helps, but i just cant do it.

Excel Formula For Finding Max Values If Cells Contain Two Words

Apr 1, 2014

Code
Description
Rate

Formulas

123
Afghanistan
0.07

=MAX((B2:B30000="*Afghanistan*")*(C2:C30000))

[code].....

I am trying to find the Maximum Value in Column C based on the criteria that Column B contains "Afghanistan but NOT Mobile.

In a second cell I also want to find the maximum value in Column C based on the criteria that Column B contains "Afghanistan" AND "Mobile"

The code I have come up with is in the table however it is only showing the max value for cells containing "Afghanistan". If I add the wildcard "*" it does not return a value. how I can achieve my objectives?

Finding Unique Values And Creating Shorter Table (sublist) Using Formula

Apr 25, 2013

I have a spreadsheet with some calculations and the part i am interested in is data in R4 : V58

In this R4:R58, S4:S58 and T4:T58 have some rows that have False because of IF calculations that put False in some rows of R and hence in S and Hence in T.

For example, R15="FALSE" so will S15 and T15 be. Col U is based on whether the corresponding row in R is False or a number. If a Rown in R is false, the row in U= 0 else the row in U is the same as in the same row of a different column - Col I

Col R, T and U are numbers. Col S is text

For example:"
R S T U
False False False 0
False False False 0
False False False 0
55 DEF 3 15
46 XYZ 2 67
False False False 0
False False False 0
23 GEF 4 43

I want a table in another worksheet that will sort through this using a formula and print

Col1 Col2 Col3 Col4
55 DEF 3 15
46 XYZ 2 67
23 GEF 4 43

If I can define things like where the table will be placed in the new worksheet etc, that will be a bonus..But It appears I cannot understand how to do this at all..

Replacing Values Between Xls Files?

Apr 14, 2009

I have a file with some statistics on how agents at work performed. This file gets sent to all of them, but before we send it we change the names for a number, so that they don't know how the other agents are doing (avoiding comparisons). People had been doing this manually, but it's getting really complex as the number of agents is increasing. I know that this can be automatized, but I have no idea on how to do it. A simple formula with an IF statement wouldn't be sufficient. Here's an example of the data. The file that is to be modified to be sent to all the agents looks like this:

Replacing Matched Cell Values

Jun 8, 2009

I have a spreadsheet with around 1000 rows on data. in each row of data there is a number e.g. 2673 (all in their own cells) so in column A you would have a list of just numbers in another workbook, the number thats in each row corresponds to another value e.g. 2673 = CE103. So this workbook has 2 columns. In column "A" you have the numbers(2673) and in column "B" you have what that number matches with (CE103) i need a way of replacing all the numbers with what they equal
Workbook 1
A B C
2673 XXX XXX
513 XXX XXX
5107 XXX XXX
604 XXX XXX

Workbook 2
A B
2673 CE107
513 CDR57
5107 QV906
604 MNT57

There is an example of what i have (hope its understandable) and what i need is, the data from workbook 2 put in to workbook 1. So instead of having 2673 in workbook1, i would have CE107. And the same for the others e.g 513 would be CDR57.

Replacing List Of Values In Just One Column With Certain Text?

May 18, 2014

I am creating a template for formatting data that I download from a wholesaler to upload to a platform. The large database of around 1300 records that comes with category and subcategory names, among all the rest of the data, that I download There are more column titles and information than I need, so my template will have blank headings that I will know to simply delete after I paste. Maybe there is a Macro for that too.

The category and subcategory names to appear in certain columns. I want those names to appear in multiple columns within the same records. How to create a formula/macro to copy all of the data in one column to a different column with a different heading and keep those headings different and save them within my template. I have a list of the 240 with CategoryID, ParentID, Category and Subcategory all corresponding. These always come and go in CSV format, so I cannot create additional sheets to save within my template without a hassle.

In two ID number value columns, I would like all of the text names replaced with corresponding numbers for upload to the platform that requires them. I have been trying to figure out the best way to create a macro to save within my template for daily use, but so far I have not been able to figure it out. I have been watching videos on vlookup, index & match, find & replace...I have not seen what I need just yet

OK, SO HERE IS MY PRODUCT TEMPLATE SO FAR: [URL]

Replacing Formula With One In Sheet

Feb 24, 2014

I am currently trying to get a formula to be added into a range after a piece of code is run.

This is because every time my code has finished, the formula somehow changes and I cannot get it to stop changing values.

I have the formulas further down my sheet, without the = so that it doesn't return a value.

In VBA I have tried something along the lines of Range("A1").Formula = "=" and Range("Z1")

Where A1 is the cell I want the formula in and Z1 contains the formula without an =

It has not updated the cells and they still have the error that I am trying to fix.

Excel 2013 :: Replacing Values In Existing Functions With Newly Defined Names

Jan 6, 2014

I'm trying to simplify a spreadsheet i've been given by defining names for certain values. I'm using Excel 2013. Is there any way to have all of the newly defined names I've created for cells automatically be inserted into all of the formulas that exist in the spreadsheet?

Example.

Old formula in one sheet of a workbook looks up a cell in another sheet with the value of ='sheet1!A1

I've given the value of cell A1 in Sheet1 a name of dgwd.

How do I get every formula in the workbook that references 'sheet1!A1 to change the value within that formula to dgwd?

Replacing #N/A Values With Zero Values

Feb 16, 2006

I have a cell that is looking up values in another sheet using HLOOKUP.... when it doesn't find a value it returns a #N/A value.... I have tried using an IF statement with an imbedded ISNA or ISERROR or ERROR.TYPE function to have it return a zero in the event of #N/A and the actual value if it is able to find what it is looking up.... I need to convert the #N/As to zeros so I can use the sum function by merely highlighting a range with my mouse...

Replacing Old Values With New Values?

Nov 7, 2013

I have a large data set of alphanumeric values (e.g. WUGTI56G36B879568). I need to remove the last six digits from each value and replace them with "XXXXXX". I've already learned that I can insert a column next to my data set and use this formula =LEFT(A1,LEN(A1)-6)&"XXXXXX" to remove the last six digits and replace them with my preferred text. However, now that I've done that is there any way to paste the new values from Column B into Column A without having the formula get all screwy? I don't necessarily want to hide Row A, but instead get rid of it and make Column B into Column A.

Summing Values After Finding Max Consecutive Values

May 11, 2009

I have 10 columns (A-J). Column B is the Date & Column C is the Time, I have the data sorted 1st by date then by time. The 5th Column, E, is Size. The 10th column, J, is "Position."

This 10th column, J, is in binary format. A 1 equals a Position & a 0 equals no Position.

1) I need to find the Max Sum of the Size in which the Max consecutive set of 1s has occurred.

2) I need to also do this on a day by day basis, using the Date in Column B, without having to manually go through & modify all the formulas to reference the date.

I have a Sumif formula for the 2nd but it won't copy down to update the formula for each unique date. I have to manually change the date values & I have ~957 unique dates to do; so it would be a rather painstaking process if only done manually. Moreover, it doesn't count the Max Sum of all consecutive 1s in Column J...

The length of the non unique columns (all columns w/o unselecting the duplicate entries) is 19,068.

If you can be of help, I'd be very thankful...my brain is overloaded w/googling & using trial & error.

Finding Multiple Values At Once?

May 27, 2014

Actually i have to two sheets. In (1st file) I have the data of customers. And in (2nd file) I get the approved sales. So i have to find the numbers.

In my sales sheet, there is data of customers like name, address, phone number etc.

In my sales report sheet, i got multiple numbers in a notepad file which are rejected sales.

So basically, i have to copy every number one by one, and then have to find it in my excel sheet with CTRL+F and then i change the color of that cell which is rejected.

I want magic by which i simply add all the rejected numbers in one column of my file, and then do Abra Cadabra by which all the numbers which are rejected get in red colour automatically in the column in which there are all the numbers (approved as well as rejected).

Finding Values Within Two Ranges

Feb 18, 2013

I have people who wrote down that they attended a location on a certain date at a certain time, and I have their start and end time.

So for example my person data has something like this:

Arrive: 1/1/12 7:00 AM,
Leave: 1/1/12 10:00 AM

Arrive: 1/1/12 3:00 PM
Leave: 1/1/12 4:00 PM

Arrive: 1/4/12 8:00 PM
Leave: 1/4/12 10:15 PM

I also have those fields formatted as text and as decimals so I can work with whatever I need.

The next portion is a list of events that occur at these same locations. Here are some examples.

Event 1
Start: 1/1/12 8:15 AM
End: 1/1/12 12:15 PM

Event 2
Start: 1/4/12 3:00 PM
End 1/4/12 8:30 PM

What I need to find out is if the person was present at the location during any of the events.

A person may write down more than one visit to the location in a day. The events only happen once per day. I'm sure there's a pretty manual way to do this, however the list of people and events spans an entire year and it will be too time consuming to do it that way.

Finding Duplicate Values Using VBA?

Aug 19, 2013

I have multiple columns / rows of data, some of which are duplicates.

Column S is a concat of columns A:R where this data is stored, and is sorted alphabetically.

I'm looking for a way using VBA to find duplicate concat rows by cycling through this list that is already sorted. I'm interested in moving down this list, 1 by 1, and if current cell = cell above, delete the data in columns A:P of that row, then delete the cell data in column R of the cell above the current cell.

So for example, if I have sorted data in S8:S14, and S9 = S8, then I would like to delete A9:P9, then delete the data in R8.
