Formula To Search For A Word In Specified Cells
I am trying to figure out a formula which will search the contents of 6 cells (o2, p2, q2,r2,s2,t2) for the word "sugar". If it is found in either of these cells, I would like the formula to result in "true" or "yes", if not, "false" or"no" would be the result.
Cells (o2, p2, q2,r2,s2,t2) contain text which can include the word "sugar" but will never contain only the word sugar.

Sumproduct Formula To Search For A Particular Word
Is it possible to use the Sumproduct formula to search for a particular word and grab the amount in the next column, but 1 row down? For example, I would search for region 1, but want to grab the figure in the total loans column next to Consumer. Region Loan Type Total Loans --------- ------------ -------------- Region 1 Commercial 150000 Consumer 75000 Region 2 Commercial 90000 Consumer 145000

VBA: Search Function: Which Shows An Input Box Where You Can Enter A Word To Search For
I'm from Bavaria, Germany. Right now, I am doing an internship for my studies. my problem: I need a search procedure which shows an Input Box where you can enter a word to search for. It should work like the original Excel search (Ctrl-F), but with a simpler design, like with my own Text "Enter your Query" and a Button "Submit Query" / "Quit search". Is there the possibility to Highlight the Search Target? The problem hereby is that this highlighting should not be permanent. That means the user sees the target for which he searched for, the cell highlighted in a different color, etc. But as soon as the user clicks onto another cell, etc., the highlighting vanishes. If there is no fitting match, there should be a MessageBox like "Sorry the Target xyz cannot be found"

Search For Word In A String Of Data
I have put a formula in excel to count how many times the word 'administration' appears in a column: =COUNTIF(K2:K99,"Administration") Unfortunately, the output that I am searching has mulitple words in it, separated with a colon and no space. My formula skips the count if the word Administration is not completely on it's own e.g. Administration counts 1 Administration;Cardiology does not count

Search A Cell For Uppercase Word Only
This is wrekcing my head as I'm sure it can be done with an Array formula and I cant seem to get it sorted - Say I have 5 Rows of text starting in A2 "A quick word" "A quick WORD" "A" "word" "WORD" I need an excel formula to say "False", "False", "False", "False", "TRUE". All conditions to be met for TRUE are - Word must in uppercase, Uppercase Word must be longer than 1 character, Sentence (i.e. cell) can not contain a space. This is the path I've gone down, but almost certainly incorrect - =IF( FIND(CHAR(64+COLUMN($A$1:$Z1)),$A$2,1),TRUE,FALSE) [CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER]

VLOOKUP - Search Only One Word From Long Text, Write
Attached is the mock excel spreadsheet. I want to read "sam" from the lookup column's long text "sam is good" and then write "4" in the next column. Similarly read "white" from the long text "white is tired" and write "1". And so on,,,,, For more criteria, see box highlighted in yellow,,,,I used VLOOKUP but what am able to make it work only when there is one word "sam" in the lookup column. It returns #NA when the text is "sam is good". It should write nothing if none of the criteria is met and should keep doing until the last cell in the lookup column.

Using The =IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH Function To Search Multiple Cells)
I' having trouble using the =IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH formula to search multiple cells. I can get it to work to search one cell (as below): =IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Same",G10)),"No Change",'Aug 09 Matrix'!F10) (In this case the respone is No Change as Cell G10 contains "Same") However cannot get it to work for several cells. I have pasted below and highlighted the function I would like it to perform: =IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Same",G10:R10)),"No Change",'Aug 09 Matrix'!F10) Essentially the other cells in that row (G10:R10) all contain "Same", however for some reason it is identifying this as FALSE and putting in the data from the 'Aug 09 Matrix' sheet.

Search Word For Text And Send Values Next To Text To Excel File
I am using Windows XP and Office 2003. I am looking to automate a process where information is sent to someone in a text format and they in turn transfer that data to an excel file. It basically looks like this (but includes a lot more info): Service Request #: 123456 Instrument Type: New Instrument Lot/Serial #: 123456 SR Type: Product Complaint Service Coverage: Maintenance Agreement The info on the left (text preceding the colon) is always the same but the values following the colon can change. The excel file has all of the text before the colon and they just enter the information into the cells. I am looking to make it so that an Excel macro (or maybe a word/outlook macro) automatically scans the text document and sends this info to the exact same cells in excel every time. The text file is actually a message from an Oracle database and I am not going to be able to make any changes to the way the data comes in.

Search CSV Files For Word & Make .xls Files Of Them
I have 22 CSV files. I want to search each of those files for a specific text string (ie: "profile" or "description"). When the macro finds the word in any one of the CSV files I want it to copy that complete csv worksheet and paste it into an excel xls file. how I can go about doing this. Not also that while vlookup is possible, its very time consuming if i have to do this 50 times over and each time the csv files have different file names. that is why i want to search within a file (each file has its own unique identifying text string)

Grab First Word In Cells
I would like to automate this process that I'm doing currently through the "Text to Columns" function. Basically I have various cells that contain many worlds such as: FRESH LUNETTE SOLEIL REES 1'S INFOKUS SOLEIL LECTURE LUNETTES 1'S KENSIE LUNETTE SOLEIL ELEORA 1'S KENSIE LUNETTE SOLEIL ELIZABETH 1'S KENSIE LUNETTE SOLEIL JAMES 1'S KENSIE LUNETTE SOLEIL VESPER 1'S KIDS LUNETTE SOLEIL HOUSTEN 1'S KIDS LUNETTE SOLEIL MINNIE 1'S My goal is to separate the first world from the rest of the words in one cell. Since all of the words are seperated by space, I use the the "Text to Columns" function and separate the words, so that I can get the first word into one column. The rest of the words have to be merged again through "Concatenate". What I'm looking for is a VBA code or Excel function that can identify the first world (which vary in character lengths) and put it into one column.

I would like to do a text split for the name only in cells where contains the word "Name". For example: Name A&A Enterprize Text split function for it is =MID(A1,FIND(" ",A1)+1,255) so it only recognizes A&A Enterprize. How would I add an IF, Then function (If the any cell contains the word Name, apply the text split function, for cells don't have the word Name, just leave it blank) if i have to do this for a large data file so i dont have to copy this function for every cell that contains the word Name.

Create Hyperlink From 2 Cells, Then Open Word
The purpose of this endeavour is to create a cell that when the user clicks on it, it will open up a Word file that THAT particular cell represents. FIRST STEP: Take the values from Column D (Tract Number), then add a ".doc" extension to it, then put the UNC filepath (\serverdata eports) in front of all of that and put it in Column E. See me example below: File path plus Tract Number plus Extension \serverdata eports 7-5-065-085 .doc .... to generate something like this: \serverdata eports7-5-065-085.doc SECOND STEP: Use the value (only when the user clicks on the hyperlink) from the cell in Column E and start up Word.

How To Return All Cells (in The Form Of An Array) Containing A Certain Word
I am drawing a total blank here, lets say I have a column of cells: A1 ("Word") A2 ("No") A3 ("No") A4 ("Word") A5 ("Word") (they all have words in them). How can I return all cells (an array?) that contain a specific word? =COUNTIF(A1:A5,"Word") returns: 3 That function is almost perfect, except that returns a number - I need this to return an array of all of those cells that contain the word. Because I have another function to run after that takes in cells and THEN counts how many are a certain color (this one already works) - so it obviously cannot take in a number, it needs a list of cells So it should return: A1,A4,A5 But I'm not sure in what format

Find Word In Range Cells Containing Other Strings
I am having a hard time creating a code that would search the exact string in a cell. See sample scenario below. 1. I have a string "hello" to be searched. 2. I will search the whole string in each cell in a previously declared range. 3. If in a cell i found "kdhlsk hellodsiewjls", although "hello" string is there, the code should still return 0. 4. But if in a cell, i found "kjdsfel ljsdlkue hello luoeww", then the code should return 1. I have already created a code, but it will always return 1 in step#3.

SUM Cells With Particular Word In Left Cell.
In my column B, I have different words like Balance, Notes, Expense, etc. Is there anyway I can look into column B, and if I get the word Expense, then take the number directly to the right of it (from column C) and SUM it? Not sure if it matters, but let's say I want to put it in cell C2. I figure this will allow me to do this like insert, delete rows in the future, but my equation in cell C2 will still add up what I need.

Export Cell Contents To Word Fields In A Protected Word Document
Is it possible to export Excel cell contents to Word fields in a protected Word document? For example... What code would be needed to tell Excel to open up, copy and export the contents of A2 in the active sheet of a workbook to "Field 2" in a Word document named "Report 01" and then put the contents of B2 to "Field 2" etc? Do both applications have to be opened up at the same time or is Excel able to open up Word on its own? Will the macro be able to.... 1. Automatically open up the correct Word document? 2. Look ONLY in a certain folder for the "Report 01" Word document? or Bring up a "selection" box that allows you to select the document you wish Excel to export it's data to? 3. Close and save the Word Document without any user intervention?

Data Validation :: Cells Should Contain Specific Word On Input
I'm trying to make the included spreadsheet as idiot proof as possible as a lot is a stake. I have most functionality working well; however, not I would like to add a little more data validation that does not exist in the normal cell validation rule set. I need all the input cells to validate that the cell contains the word "BOX" upon entry, otherwise throw a warning. This is because the data entry will be done by barcode and there are a couple barcode labels on each box. The one I want will include the word "BOX" somewhere in the code sequence. Since a previous function in the Code locks the cell, they wont be able to fix the error. but it will alert them so they can make sure to scan in the proper barcode and not miss the box. Also, once I get something that works in the code, where would I put it? In the same code box as the previous script, underneath it, or somewhere else? So, bottom line, I need a script that check the cell for Text of "Box" otherwise throw a message box.

Preserve Cells Word Formatting Concatenating Text
I have a cell with some text in it that has formatting applied (bold in this case). I want to append some text on the end using VBA, but preserve the existing font formatting information. So say I have "one bold one" in my cell, I'm executing the following: ActiveCell.Value = ActiveCell.Value & "two" But this wipes out the bold information. Is there any way of preserving the bold that's already in the cell. Either perhaps by copying the Characters object and reapplying it, or by some other method?

I tried recording a replace (ctrl+f, replace tab) macro, copying the code, and inserting it into the excel vba code.. but I get a error message. Here is what I have: ---
