I want to check if cells C1, D1 and E1 contain the same name. For example if the cells all contain the 'Joe Bloggs' (or whatever the name variable happens to be) then cell F1 should say "Yes", else "No".

I am trying to check if the dates are equal with multiple if statements! Macro works great if first date is wrong, but if the 2nd or third date is not unequal it does not work anymore.
really tried to do it myself but unfortunately
I added an excelexample
Date in E3 is different (if you type in other date in cell b3 macro does work partially).
=AND($AE$2:$AE$10<=$F$2:$F$2000;$AE$2:$AE$10>=$E$2:$E$2000) With this I am checking for conditions to be true or false
Lets say I am checking AND(AE2 <= F2 ; AE2>=E2) this tells me if date in cell
AE2 is smaller or equal to Cell F2, but how can I set this fromula to check if all the cells from F2 to F1000 are equal to AE2 so If I write date into Cell AE2 it checks all dates from F2 to F1000 and check if condition is true or false
(and if I write date in cell AE3 it should check all the dates from F2:F1000, if date in AE3 is in this range)
How do I get a function to check cells on multiple work sheets.
For example this function searches for the word "hello" in cells, A1 to A50 and then adds up the number in the corresponding cells where "hello" is found from C1 to C50:
=SUMIF($A$1:$A$50,"=hello",$C$1:$C$50)
Two questions:
01) How do I search the same cells in two further work sheet, "Sheet2" & "Sheet3"?
02) Is there a way to search every cell in an entire work sheet?
I have three cells where a user will input data, in some cases (2T Weld Condition) they will only enter in B12 and C12, but in the case of a 3T weld they will also enter data in the D12 cell. I then use a formula to check for the thinnest material and that is entered into another cell with a formula, B14. I then need to check the value in B14 to verify if it is above zero, but below 0.65 (mm). If it is then I would like to have a message appear on the screen notifying the user that they are outside the acceptable range.
I cannot figure out how to use the information in cell B14 because it is a formula and my code only works with a direct value. The code I am using works if I point to one of the three input cells, B12, C12 or D12. How do I use the information in B14 to work with the code below.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address = "$B$12" Then
If Target.Value < 0.65 Then
Run "MyMacro"
End If
End If
End Sub
MyMacro loads a userform with buttons, etc.
I am trying to create a macro that will create a number of check boxes, which are linked different cells. I have had some success in creating multiple check boxes and having them at the destination I want the problem is that instead of linking to different cells they are all linked to the same cell. I have attached a sample workbook SAMPLE.xlsx

Example attached.
I need to return the specific text of a cell based upon the text in multiple cells.
Worksheet as follows:
Asphalt Sub:
BLDG1-Backwash 1
*BLDG1*
*Sub*
BLDG1-Backwash 1 OverEx
*BLDG2*
*Sub*
[Code].....
I have three columns thus far. I need to add another column and search all items in Column A using the criteria in Columns B and C. For instance I need to search for BLDG1-Backwash Sub: and place it into column D using the criteria in Columns B and C.
If possible, I would also like to remove both the words, BLDG1 and Sub from the result so then it only shows "Backwash".
My spreadsheet is much larger than this and I have muliple buildings I am dealing with, sometimes 30-40.
i have data stored like:
col1
XXXX1244 50
XXXX1519 60
XXXX1244 50
xxxxx1111 10
xxxxx1519 65
the last 4 caracters are numbers. I need to test these numbers and sum the corresponding values them in a single cell without adding new column(SUMIF like).
so in the above example I need to sum all ending at 1244 or 1519, therefore the sum showed in the single cell equals 225
to extract from a single cell: =VALUE(RIGHT(D8;4))
I tried to use an array formula but it seems to crash if a blank cell is in the array

I have data in Row 53 that spans 7 columns, but stays in the same row. I want to design a loop to select every 7th cell in that row and check if it is empty. If not, add onto a "counter" then display the final number of occupied cells (the value of the counter) at the end. This is what I have so far, but I get all sorts of errors.
Code:

Dim WB As Workbook
Dim WS As Worksheets
Dim modCounter As Long
Dim Cell As Range
Set WB = Workbook("Transverse Series.xlsm")
Set WS = WB.Sheets(BM18)

I'd like to write a formula that check if a string (contained in another cell - say A1) includes at least one occurrence of one of a set of 5 sub strings. If the substring is included then it should return which one.
For istance, say that the cell A1 = " The colour is BLACK" then I'd like a formula in cell B1 that check if any of the following strings is included in A1 (RED, GREEN, BLUE, BLACK, ORANGE) and that tells me which one.
How to do this with a one cell formula ?
how I check the last 4 letters of a String to make sure they say '.xls', '.csv', etc, etc, for varification purposes.

Is there way in Excel VBA to check if a string contains a number, and then return TRUE or FALSE. Numbers can been anywhere in the string. See example below.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm working on a project where I need to prevent the user from entering non-digit string inputs. I've tried the using IsNumeric(MyString). but that doesn't prevent , + - signs to be entered. I also had to conditionally enable the input of a string with leading zeros like "01" so what I've ended up with is a rather messy looking' sub that handles this (don't know if forum rules allows me to show it here?). The problem is that I'm not a 100% sure that my sub fit to handle all eventualities so therefore my question is whether there is an easier, fool proof way to check my strings?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a udf that returns a string to the cell. The string is made up of multiple string "objects". What I am wondering is if I can set the font color of certain objects so that when the final string is built and returned, the font of those portions is set.
Ex. of simple idea (this is not actually my code, just a way to illustrate. I realize there is no point to this UDF):
VB:
Function StringReturn (Str1 As String, Str2 As String, Str3 As String) As String
StringReturn = Str1 & Str2 & Str3
End Function
Now what if I wanted Str1 and Str3 to be blue, and Str2 to be red for example. So that when the UDF calculates it would return: Str1Str2Str3
I have a test to see if a text string is in an array that mostly works, but sometimes fails and I don't understand why.
The routine calls a Function IsInArray which returns a True/False value depending on whether the search term is in the array.
Code:
Sub TestFilterArray()
MyArray = Array("a", "b", "c")
If IsInArray("a", MyArray) = False Then
[Code]....
In this case the first item in my array is "a - b" (note that this is a text string ), but for some reason because my test value is "a" the routine things it must be in the array.
Thus I am thinking that the ampersand and dash symbols are somehow confusing my routine.
How can I change my routine so that it correctly identifies which text strings are in my array?
I have some code where I need to check if the first five char are numbers and not letters.
I have in a column for example
12345-someone is here
23456-someone else is here
someone is here too
I need to get all of the ones that have 5 digits and not pull in the other into a new list.
I have tried Left(CPHierAll. Cells(CPHierAllRow, 1),5) which will get me the fist 5 char. and then i need to check to make sure that they are all numbers and not char.
if Left(CPHierAll.Cells(CPHierAllRow, 1),5) = "#####" then
But this does not bring anything in.
I also tried if CPHierAll.Cells(CPHierAllRow, 1),5) = "#####" then
I have 3 column that i am checking for different thinks the first two work just find and seperate out on the check but the last one with the numbers is being a pain.
I'd like to check if a user supplied string is single cell reference. My problem is that the below code comes back as vallid if I enter a range like B2:B4.

'check if valid:
If ValidAddress(UserAdd) Then

I've posted this query before, not on this forum, but I don't think the replies I've had so far are going to do what I want. Initially I was looking for a formula, but the suggested pile of nested IFs won't work for the number of conditions. I saw a previous post on here for a VBA macro to search for a text value in a cell against the cell contents of a range and it seemed to do at least the first part of what I wanted. I attempted to manipulate it a little to test its applicability for my own nefarious purposes but for the life of me I can't get it working.
This is complicated by the fact that the actual data is commercially confidential, so I can't show you the actual file, but I can fake what I want with two simpler ones. I've attached them to this post. What I want is a fair bit more complex than the other post I found - I want to be able to compare a partial text string from a given cell in a range ('Check Value' in the attached TestBook2 ) against the strings in a range of cells ('Value 1' in TestBook1), and return the corresponding value from 'Test Value' to the corresponding adjacent cell to the tested 'Check Value', with an order of precedence, for example...
Testbook2 contains an entry in C5 of 'a, e, h, z, x, y'. Testbook1 shows that the return for a, b, c, or d is 'moo', for e, f, or g is 'steve' and for g through q is 'fred', all others being no returned value. Moo>steve>fred, so I want the corresponding 'moo, steve. fred or <blank>' cell to contain 'moo'. Conversely, C6 contains 't, u, z' and therefore shouldn't have a value in 'moo, steve, fred or <blank>'. C12 contains 'f, z, s, y, u' and C15 'i, x, z, s', and therefore should display 'steve' and 'fred' respectively.
I am using the following to check if a string has a sequence of 6 decimal digits in it. But am getting an error. If(str Like *######*). I have to check if str has values like 123456USA ; ABC725439 ; jh658478hd. I thought # represents a single digit and * represents any no of characters
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a dataset of shifts and want to compare each shift that needs to be filled to a list of requests for time off (vacation, etc).
For one cell the code is: =IF(ISERROR(SEARCH(B1, A1), 0,1)
Where A1 is the column of requests in comma delimited forme (ie: "AB,CD,EF").
Where B1 is the column containing the person assigned to shift 1 (ie: "AB")
In this case, would return a "1" as no error was returned, as AB was found in the list. Here "1" would represent a schedule conflict.
Without creating many cells for each shift- there are 20 shifts- can I create an array or string together this type of "SEARCH" function?
I have a spreadsheet with 1,000 rows of data.
Each Cell in Column A has a different long text string.
I need to see which (if any) of 10 specific small text strings exist within each long text string. Depending on which small text string is found I want to return a 3 digit code. If no small text string is found I want to return "Not Found"
E.g.:
- Cell A2 contains "randomtext,randomtext,APPLE,randomntext"
- I want to see if Cell A2 contains any of the words APPLE, ORANGE, CARROT.
- I want to return "APP", "ORG", "CAR" or "Not Found"
Q: What is the most elegant way to accomplish this within a single formula that I could paste into each cell in Column B?
I have a sheet in which some of the cells have two strings separated by a linefeed. I have come up with a cumbersome formula which will let me check if either of the two strings is a member of a list stored on another sheet. However, it fails if there is only one string in the cell, presumably as there is no linefeed for the formula to find. How can I modify the formula to cope with this situation?
There are also on occasions, three strings in the cell, but I can't seem to access the middle string with the formula. Simplified spreadsheet attached to show the problem. This must be formula-based, as we have a no VBA policy. If you think there is better way of doing this, please let me know.
I want to check if the value of a cell is the multiple of another
for example cell A1 is 6
and cell B1 is 2
This is valid because 2*3=6 but if cell A1 was 5 then it should display that its not valid!
I would like to count al the rows where in certain columns there are certain values.
For example:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(Bakjes!$C$2:$C$4000="1");--(Bakjes!$G$2:$G$4000="")
This works fine. However, I would like to look in columns N2:W4000 as well if in that specific row value x is present. This gives:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(Bakjes!$C$2:$C$4000="1");--(Bakjes!$G$2:$G$4000="");--(Bakjes!$N$2:$W$4000="x"))
This gives a #value error. Is it not possible to look in multiple columns at one time with sumproduct?
I'm trying to develop a new daily timesheet for my production workers, where non-production items are recorded in 15 minute intervals. The user would put in "Clock in" by the corresponding time, and the same for "Clock out" at the end of the day. Any non-production items will be type in next to their appropriate time. Since clock in and clock out times will vary, I need to set up a formula that searches the array of cells for the day, finds the "Clock in" and "Clock out" values, and counts any blank cells in between them. Basically the blank cells will equal production time, and the result of the Count function will be multiplied by 0.25 to get the hours.
I am having a very difficult time finding a way to set the "Clock in" and "Clock out" cells as the range for the Count function, because it won't always be the same cells. What would be the best way to automatically have excel find the cells containing these values and set them as the range criteria for a Count function?
The formula at the bottom was one of my initial attempts, but it didn't work. I took out the '=' for the screenshot, so that wasn't the problem.

The output should check two conditions. If all three columns are "Y" then it should return value "Y". If any two columns are "Y" then it should return value "Y". or else it should return "N". Then the output should look like this.... The output column is colored in Red..........
Is there a way to a mass insert of Check Boxes without the cell link all being the same cell? I have a huge list of items that I want to put a check box next to each one. This way when my warehouse people check it off in the sheet one of the columns will read "Available".
Problem is when I put the first box in and cell link it to E4, and then copy and paste it, all the boxes toggle based on one another. Otherwise I have to put in 584 check boxes. Solutions or other recommendations are gladly welcome.
Also, is "True/False" the only available "response" when using Check boxes? (I Know I can write an equation based on the true false, but I am just curious)
