Get Column Alphabet Based On Data It Contains Or Column Heading Using VBA?
Oct 28, 2011
How to get the Column Alphabet based on the Data it contains or the Column Heading using VBA?
Is it possible to get the Column Alphabet using any Macro or any function that within a Module it can always take the New Column Name during Execution..
Example: I have certain Columns where I have Yes and No Tick using the Wingdings P and Y..
Now these Columns are alternately Placed and there are six columns in all and they are spread over 12 Columns as the Alternate COlumns is reserved for Manual Entries.
Now I intend to increase the Manual Entry Columns but the problem is that every time I do that I need to make changes in my VBA Code.
Is it possible that even when the Columns are Inserted or Deleted in between before or after these columns I dont need to change the Explicit references by changing some approach.
I am not fuly conversant in VBA but use it whenever things are not completely feasible with Formulas AFTER GOOGLING.
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("X3:X13")) Is Nothing Then ' You can Change the range here
Cancel = True
[Code]....
As you can see the Ranges are Alternately Placed and there are about 6 such Columns with the above TICKS..
Now, how do I keep it FLoating so that even after changing the COlumn Location it does not need to get Updated i.e. X and Z Column Alphabets..

I have an excel spread sheet with several rows of 265 (9A-IV) columns each with a heading. I would like to transpose the worksheet columns so that the heading is placed in Column A against the corresponding that is placed in column B. For example
ABCD14692571038Transpose to A1A2A3B4B5C6C7C8D9D10

Encryption algorythim.xlsx
Here is my scenario I have all this data i want to search in. In the rows there are repeating values and in the columns they do not repeat.
As seen in the attached i am able to give a column and row by title and then get the intersecting cell data from that. (Encryption lookup)
What i want to do is give the column tittle and row value and get back the row title. (Decryption Lookup)
This shouldn't be too hard seeing that the data in the columns has no repeats.

I have a 2 groups of column headings with a different month and year in each heading so
1st Group of columns range
Columns AJ through AX
Column Heading example "Expense Ratio February 2013......next Column over is "Expense Ratio March 2013"
2nd Group of columns range AY though CE
Column Heading example "Capital Balance February 2013......next Column over is "Capital Balance March 2013"
Each new month I need to add a new Expense Ratio column after the most recent expense ratio Column. (i.e. Find "Expense Ratio March 2013" and I need to add a column after that with heading "Expense Ratio April 2013"
Same thing for Capital Balance - add a new Capital Balance column after the most recent Capital Balance Column. (i.e. Find "Capital Balance March 2013" and I need to add a column after that for "Expense Ratio April 2013"
Because the ranges keep changing month over month, how do i do this.

The yellow highlighted column F (each Reason) in the sheet2 to be placed as main header in the next column and so on as seen in the sheet 3
If they have two similar item number with 2 different reasons - delete the duplicate item number and place the number in each column according to its reason as seen on row 16 on the sheet3
If they have two number with similar reason - just sum up the number

I need a simple formula to convert that into column Alphabet + 1
So 4 will be Column E (A,B,C,D and 4th will be D+1= E)

I am trying to get excel to search a workbook/(or worksheet if easier) for a matching unique value and fill in its associated data. My first workbook has the SKU (A) filled in but not the UPC (B). My second workbook has both the SKU (A) and the matching UPC (C) filled in.
I need to take both workbooks/(worksheets), compare the SKUs, and if a matching SKU is found, extract the UPC from Workbook 2 and fill in the UPC field in Workbook 1, and if no UPC is present in Workbook 2, then it leaves the cell in Workbook 1 blank.

If I have a table as noted below with the following assumptions:
- this table will likely grow
- the 'Include' column data will change based on external criteria/formulas, so the 'Include' column will not be sorted.
- Macros aren't an option as this sheet needs to be macro free.
A
B
C
1
Item
Calories
Include
[Code]...
How do I build a formula that I can place in a data validation drop down to only include 'Item's that have Yes indicated in the 'Include' column?
I've been researching this and found answers if the 'Include' column was sorted via offset, but I haven't found any to sift through when unsorted. I feel like there is a simple answer to this that I am missing. Here is the sheet --> ExampleSheet.xlsx

I am trying to write a formula that shows the best grade for each each student and the subject in which
that grade was achieved.
In a previous post i was shown how to identify the highest grade
MAX(IF(A$3:A$34=A7,C$3:C$34))
I hit CTRL, SHIFT & ENTER to activate the formula - Result in column E
However, I also want to identify the subject in which they scored their highest grade in column F
I have two problems
1. I don't know how to write a formula that brings in the subject based on the grade for each student
2. I don't know how to write a formula in case there is a tie (see DAVID L)

I am in need of restructuring a spreadsheet of addresses for mailing purposes. (I tried to find something similar answered previously, but nothing seemed to work for me.)
I have attached a small example spreadsheet below, but our spreadsheets can be hundreds or thousands of rows in length.
I need a macro that will look for the "PO Box" addresses under the column headers named "ADDRESS2" and "ADDRESS3".
The PO Box addresses will need to be moved under the column header "ADDRESS1" within the same row.
It will need to overwrite the text that is already under "ADDRESS1" and delete the text from the "ADDRESS2" and "ADDRESS3" columns - UNLESS the text in 'ADDRESS2" is a PO Box AND "ADDRESS1" begins with "c/o".
If the data in "ADDRESS2" or "ADDRESS3" is anything other than a PO Box it will remain the same. As will "ADDRESS 1".
Basically if there is a PO Box it needs to be in the column named "ADDRESS1" and overwrite anything else that was there. The exception will be for PO Boxes that are in c/o someone else, the PO Box will then need to be listed in the column directly after the column that has c/o.
If the c/o exception will be too difficult the code could just highlight those scenarios and we could fix them manually. We usually do not have a lot of them, but enough that we need to be mindful of them.
The different scenarios are listed in my sample spreadsheet.Also, the code will have to use the column header names in row 1 because those headers are not always in the same column.

I have a 70x70 table where I teased out the largest 20 values. I'd like to utilize a formula to deliver the column headings (as well as the row) headings for each of these 20 values. VLookup and HLookup don't seem to work for me, and Index/Match seems to only work for single columns.
It might be worth mentioning that is highly unlikely that any of the values in the table are repeated.

I'm really tired of searching manually for the column containing a heading, as I have many columns. Isn't there a "simple" way to make a dropdown containing all the column headings in row 1, and upon selecting the heading of interest, have excel "go to" that column (maybe using a Find macro)?

I'm trying to enter info in a cell based on what is entered in two other cells.
So I have a dropdown box for the species on another sheet as well as a dropdown box for rail sizes. Then I have to crossreference them to come up with an upcharge number. Sorry for my basic lingo. I hope it's understandable.

I have a row of Headers A1 thru AO18. What I'm trying to do is have a small macro to go out and find "template" whichever column it may be in and insert a column to the left. I can make Excel insert the column to the left but obviously I can't have a fixed column designation because it will keep moving to the right of it and it won't work anylonger or I should say it doesn't put the column where I want it.

My problem is that the sequence of Colunms in my worksheet, with the similar data, keep changing. For example, an "Employee Name" may appear in column 3 or 5 etc.
For this reason, I want to select a cell within any column by its heading rather than "A", "B", "C" etc. For example, I want to select a cell as below:
Cells(5, "SN").Select
- which of course is not accepted by Excel
Similarly, I want to use Range with a column by its heading.
Or
I will like to know the Column number for the column with the heading "SN", for example.

I need to clear the contents of a columns G and H starting 11th row based on what is there in F column. The macro should check for last non-empty cell in column F starting F11 (assume it finds F30 to be last non-empty cell), then it should clear the contents of G11 to G30, H11 to H30.

Item Quantity
A 2
S 7
D 3
F 6
I am looking for a ranking formula that will pull the data from the
first column based on the ranking of the second column
so that the end result will look like this
1 S
2 F
3 D
As S has the largest quantity, F 2nd largest etc
The list I will pull this from is variable in length but in the
hundreds.

I have a statement from an account (which happens to be the government) in which they list every invoice they are paying and each item on that invoice. But they don't have an invoice total. I'd like a way to add up the item totals for each invoice and put the total in column D. Each invoice could have 1 to 10 different items on it.
A(invoice#) B(Item) C(total) D(invoice total)
111 widget 1 $5
111 widget 2 $10
111 widget 3 $8 XXXXX
222 widget 1 $5
222 widget 5 $15 XXXXX
333 widget 2 $10 XXXXX
444 widget 5 $15 XXXXX
I had thought an IF formula would be the way to go.

I am trying to move a column of numbers based on the information in another column. I've been looking for about a week and find macros that are close but not quite.
In one column it reads Mobile, Home, or is blank. If the number is a Mobile (column R), the area code (column P) needs to move to column S and the phone (column Q) needs to move to column T and the primary phone (column R) needs to move to column U. Home and blank cells remain as they are.
area (P)
phone (Q)
primary phone (R)
col S
col T
col U

Let's say I have data that looks like this grid below. Each color represents a column heading and each number is a data point within that column.
Blue Red Green Yellow
18 27 15 36
56 41 3 22
Can I write a formula that would do the following 2 things with the data in this format:
1. Find the max of the data...simple =Max(...) formula
2. Use the max to return the column heading. In this case the max is 56 so the value I want to return is "Blue"
