I have a spreadsheet with many many worksheets & on each of those worksheets many many postcodes.
I am looking for a way where I can have a list of postcode stored once somewhere (in excel, word or whatever) & then when we type postcodes into the Excel spreadsheet & click whatever to start the macro or run the code it will refer to where I have the postcodes saved & then highlight any that match on the worksheet page.
Is there a way to force Excel to look at only the first characters in a field when searching?
If I use:
MySearch = Range("C3").Value
Cells.Find(What:=MySearch, After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt _
:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:= _
False, SearchFormat:=False).Activate
It will find any instance of the characters entered in C3; however, I want it to find only fields that START with those characters. E.g. if I enter TRA in the search box it will come up with CITRATE when I want TRACLEER, etc.
Ideally I'm looking for a way to do this with formula's but for the life of me I just can't think of one. Attached is a sample that explains what I'm trying to achieve.

The latter of the two is harder to get (I'm told) so it could also be available at: [URL] .... by selecting only the "Collect+" stores.
I run a delivery business & work comes in bit by bit by postcode. I thus enter the postcodes into my spreadsheet.
Then when it comes time to process the work I'm wanting to be able to do something that will highlight all postcodes that match the same colour.
I posted this query on another forum & a helpful guy gave me the code below which worked a charm, but only for a while. Since then I have slightly tweaked the spreadsheet, taken a couple of fields off & added a couple. The code now hardly works or if it does will only do one column or row & not the complete spreadsheet.
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim oDn As Integer, oAc As Integer, Dn As Range, oPC, nDn As Integer, nAc As Integer, Ac, c, p
Dim Rw1 As Range, Rw2 As Range, Rw3 As Range, Rw As Integer
If Target.Address(0, 0) = "A1" Then
Set Rw1 = Range(Range("E2"), Range("e" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
Set Rw2 = Range(Range("G2"), Range("G" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
Set Rw3 = Range(Range("I2"), Range("I" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
Rw = WorksheetFunction.Max(Rw1.Count, Rw2.Count, Rw3.Count)
oPC = Range("E2:I" & Rw + 1)
c = 2
For oAc = 1 To UBound(oPC, 2)
For oDn = 1 To UBound(oPC, 1)
If Not oAc Mod 2 = 0 Then
If c = 25 Then c = 2
c = c + 1
I have a load of postcodes over 8 different tabs, the problem is the format of the postcode is wrong. I basically need to delete the first gap of each cell to make the postcode valid -
DL 7 9
DL 8 1
DL 8 2
DL 8 4
DL 8 5
DL 9 3
DL 9 4
DL 10 4
DL 10 5
DL 10 6
DL 10 7
DL 11 7
You see I need to have it like DL7 9, or DL10 7, but i'm not sure how, I've attached the file so you can have a look.
I have a list of postcodes. Half of them belong to girls, and half of them belong to guys. I have the distances between each postcode in a matrix. I need to put these postcodes into groups of 6, where 3 of the postcodes belong to girls and 3 to guys, in a way that minimises the sum distance between all the houses in every group. I want each group to contain houses that are as close together as possible.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a list of post codes two letter starts by region. e.g.
inner london:
EC
WC
SW
W
NW
E
SE
In addition I have several very long lists of postcodes which I can obviously pull out the first two letters from using the Left function.
However I am wondering what is the best way to filter the column of postcodes into the postcode defined regions such as inner london nicely.
I have these postcodes as example below but the array formula I was going to use won't work because, for example when I count everything with the Birmingham post code 'B' it counts every thing that contains the letter B which could also be in the post code BA1 3RL?

I'm trying to write a formula which will return postcodes from a list of descriptions which aren't consistent in their layout.
For example, I need this to happen
UB3 3NQ - APR13
SW3 5RQ - APR13
Jul 12 - apr13 accrual - ME9 4FW
Mar 12 - apr13 accural - SO14 7P2
Returned to another column as,
UB3 3NQ
SW3 5RQ
ME9 4FW
SO14 7P2
The issue I'm having is that the postcodes aren't in the same place in order to use LEFT, RIGHT or MID functions, and they aren't always proceeded or followed by dashes or spaces in the same way.
I need the returned postcodes to come back in a uniform way so that any duplicates are grouped by the relevant pivot table.
I am working on sales information which includes postcodes. What i need to do is seperate the first or first two text characters from the rest of the postcode. I have attached a small snipet of what i am working on. Currently i am using the =Left(A4,2) but this will give me in some case a numerical value aswell. For example E1 or G1 in the case of the sample attached. Is there a formula that exists where it will just return the text values in a cell and not numerical values.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a list of records each with a postcode that takes either of the two formats:
SA1 6HU
N4 3HF
I also have a list of postcodes that show only the first part of postcodes
SA1
SA2
N3
N4
What formula would look up "SA1 6HU" and return SA1? while being also able to look up "N4 3HF" and return N4?
I need to search through a worksheet for a value located in the first A column eg. and then put down a flag ( or bettar the searched text ) to che previous row in B column
Es:
I search the text 'xxx' in A column
if I found the searched text 'xxx' in A5 i need to have a flag or better 'xxx' in B4
Sorry for posting a related question earlier, where I forgot to specify something. I need to find the max in a column of data without doing any filtering or rearrangment of the column -- can this be done, either indicating the max across many columns by highlighting the max box with color or by writing its address in a new box in the bottom?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am using a CountIf formula to flag duplicate entries in a column of data, in a Column I have "=COUNTIF(P:P,P1)" It returns a number equal to the number of repeats of the data in call "P1". I then sort by that column to isolate all rows which have duplicates in Column "P". The cell has "1" if there are no repeats, "2" if there is one repeat, "3" if there are two repeats, etc. What I would like is a formula which would put a "1" in the cell the first time it sees data, then something else when it sees repeats. That way when I sort, ALL the repeats will be together and can be deleted. Is that possible?

View 7 Replies View Relatedsorting duplicate e-mails across three columns in an Excel spreadsheet.
Precisely, I have three mailing lists (Column A, B, and C) that I would like to sort.
I would like to know what e-mail addresses appear in more than one Column (Mailing List), and I would like to highlight/flag them somehow.
I have attached an example spreadhseet that contains fake e-mail addresses for test purposes. As you can see, some e-mail addresses are duplicated or in triplicate across the 3 Columns. In other cases, an e-mail address may be unique to a specific Column.
In my real spreadsheet, I have approximately 3,500 rows and 3 columns.
I have many small spreadsheets of data organised into 4 columns and anything upto 250 rows. I want to be able to test if all the cells along each row have the same data in each of the 4 cells, so 4 occurences of the same thing. Each row of data will be different. (I'm not intertested in matching the data going down the column).
However, I won't know with each spreadsheet what is the exact data I will be looking for - if all 4 cells don't have the same data, that is fine as this will then require my manual attention which is the purpose of my project.
I just want to avoid having to check through lots of rows of data where all the data does already match.
The data will usually be text but it can be IP addresses and numbers too. I need a formula or set of operators to use for is exercise.
Is it possible to run a macro from an excel cell formula?

I am trying to write some VBA code for Excel that looks at a several different cells for a specific value and if that value is there returns a prompt message outlining to the user specific cell info. For instance, if some Excel cells in a column show that someone has not paid their bill yet, I would like a message to appear as soon as one opens the spreadsheet showing the bills for what customers are still unpaid.

I want a spreadsheet to change the color/font of a cell/column based on a comparison of a "start date" cell and a "due date" cell. This is to automate the process of highlighting items that have gone past the due date in the second cell. I was trying to do this by looking at the "now()" function and comparing it to the due date.
Is there a way to flag data that hasn't been used in another worksheet. For example, a second worksheet consolidates the data into two different groups, but someone spelled the name of one of the groups wrong in the first worksheet and the data was not added via a sumif function.
View 2 Replies View Related1. In neighborhoods that have zero units in a given price range I have it to display "-" , because this unit is not actually zero, the data is not available. Therefore a #VALUE! is displayed for the percent because it cannot calculate the "-". How do I get excel to glance over "-" and flag it for no calculation?
2. For the percentages I am having to manually do them row by row. I would like to set it up in a manner that allows me to copy the formula down by column and across by row correctly.
For instance in the percent for Mira Lagos I have =B4/N3 where b4 is the units for mira lagos and n3 is the total. I can drag that formula across by rowto get all the correct percentages for mira lagos price ranges only, but I cannot copy this formula down by column to any of the other neighborhoods. In otherwords I have to do a new formula for each subdivision.
e.g.
Grand Peninsula=B5/N3
Meadow Glen(Mansfield)=B6/N3
...etc
Again I would like to make it so I can copy the formula across by row and down by column so excel will automatically compute it.
Assist me in developing a macro that would search for unique values in column A and then place a "1" in column N of that row to signify it as the unique value.

I have an Excel spreadsheet with 3 columns (A, B, and C) and 600 rows. Each cell in A and B contains a 6-diget number. Column C is empty.
I want to determine whether the number in A1, A2, ….A600 appears anywhere in column B. If A(n) does appear in column B then I want to enter a symbol (say a Y) in C(n). If A(n) does not appear in column B then I want to enter a different symbol (say N) in C(n).
What is the formula I enter (and where) that will do that?
I am trying to set up a spreadsheet to track certification expiration dates and things of that nature at my volunteer fire department. At my career job, we use specialty software like Firehouse, but that is way too expensive so I must settle for Excel..or maybe Access.
Basically, I need a formula that will look at todays date and compare it to the date in a given cell and then somehow differentiate thise which are expiring at a given intercal.
For example, if someones EMT was expiring in 6 months it would turn yellow, then at 3 months turn blue, then red at 1 month then black if it expires.
It don't necessarily have to be just like that, just some way to differentiate depending on the how close to expiration it is.
I have 2 named ranges that are one besides the other - let's name them tTableA and tTableB. I also have a strValue, which holds a String I will be searching for in tTableA.
Now, tTableA contains names (strings), while tTableB contains quantities (numbers) for the corresponding names.
I need a Button that, when clicked, will do this:
1) Check to see if the strValue string is present in tTableA:
1.1 If NOT present, tell the user "Error".
1.2 If present continue
2) Now that we know strValue exists in tTableA, find the corresponding quantity located in tTableB (this quantity would be on the same 'row' as the row in tTableA which contains strValue)
2.1 If quantity <= 0 then tell the user "Nothing left"
2.2 else REDUCE that quantity by 1 unit.
I am currently trying to work out what the best way would be to search between two sheets and find out where the differences are. IO have sheet 1 and 2 which both have account numbers and details on. I searching off the first column on both sheets and trying to identify which records exist on sheet 1 but not on sheet 2. The code I have so far is
Sub check()
data_sheet = "Sheet1"
target_sheet = "sheet2"
rowcn = 2
Do
If Sheets(data_sheet). Cells(rowcn, 1) <> Sheets(target_sheet).Cells(rowcn, 1) Then
Rows(rowcn).Select
Selection.Font.ColorIndex = 3
End If
rowcn = rowcn + 1
Loop While Sheets(data_sheet).Cells(rowcn, 1) > 0
End Sub
This currently works 50%. Only problem is that this code is not independant to each list, it simply looks at the same cell reference on both sheets and check whether the value is there. It doesnt actually go down the whole list and checks whether it is there.
