How To Highlight Misspell Word In A Cell Distinctly
Jun 23, 2013I use the below code to check for cells that contain a misspell word in it, and highlight the cell in a different font color. I would like to tweak this a little further to highlight only the misspell word and not all the words in the cell. I've been trying a combo of Characters, InStr, and so on, but in vain.
Code:
Sub misspelt()
' Tackling misspellings
Dim i, j As Long
i = ActiveSheet.Range("C2").End(xlDown).Row
For j = 2 To i
If Application.CheckSpelling(Word:=Cells(j, 3).Value) = False Then
Cells(j, 3).Font.Color = 255
End If
Next j
End Sub
Find & Highlight Words In Cell

View 9 Replies View RelatedMethod To Highlight Any Cell That Contains Anything But Allowed Set Of Words
Jun 26, 2013I have a data set containing text (no numbers) that spans several columns and rows. I have a list of 'allowed' words (about 100 words) that can be in these cells. If a cell contains a sentence with a word that is anything other than these allowed words it should be somehow marked. Ideally the 'wrong' word itself is marked, but it would already be very useful if the cell that contains the word is marked in some way.
I tried conditional formatting, but it seems to only allow formatting cells that contain a certain word, not if it doesn't contain certain words. Is there a function or a script that would be able to do this?
Simplified example:
Say you have four allowed words:
Apple
Pear
Orange
Banana
You have the following cells:
>Apple Banana
>Pear Pear Orange Pear
>Banana Apple Orange Kiwi
The third cell should be marked because it contains a word outside of the set.

Auto-calculate 2 Column That Contains Numbers And Words Words
Jul 16, 2009I've been using conventional method to do this and it's time consuming. I would like to total up 2 column. A multiply B to be exact. Below are some examples:
Table 1 - Before totaling up:
Quantity
Product
5
2 x Button A White
3
4 x Button B Pink
4
5 x Ribbon A Black
2
3 x Thread A White
6
2 x Cloth A Blue
Table 2 - After totaling up:
Quantity
Product
10
Button A White
12
Button B Pink
20
Ribbon A Black
6
Thread A White
12
Cloth A Blue
I need to have the sum of the "Quantity" multiply "Product". Or in short A x B.
And the end result need to have the number and "x" sign removed while keeping on the the products names. (2 x ) Take note it's "number" space "symbol" space.
Find Words - Deleting The Words - And Deleting Some Info After The Words.
Jun 23, 2006I am trying to find certain words in a column and delete the word and characters following. For example, Say I have a column of info as seen below. This is a test of me. I am just experimenting with this stuff. Deleted (6/15/01) Let me know what you think. I am not sure about it all, but I guess I will figure it out. riviledge1 (01/05/06) Now let's see what happens when I try to test it.
I want to find all the "Priviledge1 (01/05/06)" and replace with nothing. Please note, the date will change with each record, so I need to figure out how to tell Excel to find "Priviledge1", delete it and the date behind it. So I want to delete "Priviledge1" and the next 11 characters including the space.
How To Turn Abbreviated Words Into Full Words
Feb 4, 2013On to the topic, I have all the US and Canadian states abbreviated (CO = Colorado, etc.) and was wondering if there is a way to make all of them convert to their respective names in one fell swoop instead of writing it in for each one, one at a time. Something along the lines where I can make, CO = Colorado, TX = Texas and then hit enter and all of the abbreviations would convert. Some kind of command.

View 7 Replies View RelatedCombining List Of Words Into New Words, Conjugation
Feb 15, 2007I have 4-5 separate lists of words/letters and I would like to combine them in a certain order but creating all possible combinations resulting a new word. It's like a conjugation tool for verbs. For example if List 1 = be/el/ki/meg; List 2= m List3=e/é; List4= gy/" "; List 5=" "/ek/sz/nnek So the output has to be (if the order is List1+List2+List3+List4+List5)= bemegy/bemegyek/bemegysz/bemesz/bemész/elmegy/elmennek/ ..... and all possible combinations.
Preferentially I would like to automate it in a way that it straight outputs into MS Access. Also can it be automated that it reads the list from a file (database)?
(Also can it recognize the word by letters? Because the basic word that I would load the program= List2+List3+List4)

Lookup - With Words??
Dec 30, 2008I'm having a slight problem with lookup. I have attached the workbook. On the worksheet "Time List", it shows each round what time each team plays in order of time. On worksheet "Ind. Times" it is supposed to list the game times in order of team rather than times.
I'm using lookup, but the values in "Ind Times" are incorrect. If you look at the very first value... It says Monday Night Roast have a BYE Round 1, but looking at "Time List" you see they actually play at 8.00pm. On a side note, if I change the values of the team names to numbers - it works no problem at all.
RANKing Words?
Feb 9, 2009The Excel function RANK allows one to automatically rank a number within a given range of numbers. Can anyone think of a way to do the same thing with words?
For example, imagine a list of 20 words in a column, with space to add ten more words (complete range B2 to B31, which include the last ten blank cells). If these were numbers, then in the previous column one could simply put in the RANK formula covering the full range, which would then auto update as you added more numbers to the spare ten cells of the range. Assuming that all the values being ranked are unique, and you would therefore get a unique rank number, to order them in rank order, one would simply have the list of possible rank values a column or two removed and VLOOKUP the ranks and their appropriate values.
But what if these numbers were WORDS? The first 20 words are FIXED and will not change, the next ten cells of the range could have any other words typed into them. There is no RANK function for words so how would you suggest that ranking by words is achieved, that does not require any intervention, and as new words were added to the spare ten cells in the range, then the rank would automatically update? This list of ranked words would then be VLOOKUP’d in the same fashion as above with the final list being used to fuel a drop down box, so the user would have an alphabetical listing of all the potential words in the range.
If Statement With Words
Feb 11, 2010I m running a weekly league with a money list. There are teams that are randomly drawn each week and the winning team gets a certain amount of money. I want to be able to create a money list that pulls a persons names from my list of winners and tallies up there total winnings from all the tourneys combined.
Here is the data I'm working with:
A B C D
1 Tourney #1 Champ SteveEric $100.00
2 Tourney #2 Champ SteveBen $160.00
3 Tourney #3 Champ GregTony $140.00
4 Tourney #4 Champ GregHarry $70.00
I want it to add up the amount of money won by each player. So for example: Ben has won a total of $80. I want it to read that in my money list, then I would like to be able to sort the list using the DATA sort tool. So my main question is, what formula do I put in the cell in order to find the person's name then pull the amount won for that tournament, divide it by 2, then add it up as a total?
Here is what I want the list to look like:
F G
1 MONDAY NIGHT CORNHOLE MONEY LIST
2 NAMEAMOUNT EARNED
3 Steve$130
4 Eric$50
5 Ben$80
6 Greg$105
7 Tony$70
8 Harry$35

What would be the best type of graph to do this, and what formula would I use?

View 14 Replies View RelatedFill Down Multiple Words?
Apr 7, 2014I have an Excel spreadsheet with two columns: A and B.
Column A has multiple cells with content separated by different amounts of blank cells. Column B has content throughout the whole column. What I want to do is perform the same task as the "fill down" in Column A by clicking the black corner box as if Column A only had one heading/cell filled with data. The catch is that the fill down would need to be applied until the word changes. So for example in Column A if I had the cell with the word Smith and 20 blank cells after and then cell 21 with the word Thomas followed by 15 blank cells then I would want Smith to fill down its 20 blank cells until it hits Thomas then Thomas will fill down its 15 blank cells until it hits the next word and repeat.
