Conditional Formating: Spell Check
Jul 29, 2008I am working on code breaking, and am working on trying multiple letter combinations, and was wondering if I could spell check the results and have that identify letter combinations that ARE words.
Formating With A Date And Text
Jan 9, 2009I would like to format a cell so when i enter a six digit number, such as 123456 it would appear starting with a QW then the year, month and day in the format of yymmdd and them the six digit number so it would appear as QWYYMMDD123456, or since today is 01/09/09 is would be QW090109123456
I would like the yymmdd field to be taken from the main location where the date is entered and the QW can be in another field so when I go to another blank field and enter a six digit number, for example 123456 it will be changed to QW090108123456. I hope you can follow this and that I explained it in a matter that is understood.
Remove Formating ' From Text
Jun 14, 2006I often get spread sheets to work with that have a non visable/printable character (') in front of them. I haven't been able to find a way to get rid of them other than editing each cell and removing it. I am sure there must be a way. I have attached a small sample of the cells in question.

Jan 9, 2009Been hunting around the forums but cant seem to find quite what I want.
I want to specify the background of a cell to be red if the text in that cell contains a specific word.
e.g. cell a1 will have the text 'Rest of World' (without quotes). I want this to show as red if it contains the word 'of'.
Of course the cell may contain other words but this illustrates what I'm looking to achieve.
I tried the following conditional formula but this does not work:
=IF(SEARCH("of",H3)>1,1,0)

Conditional Formating: Highlight Cells Based On Text Of Another Cell
Aug 28, 2009I have created a drop down box that allows me to choose multiple different Text Options. Example: Cell B4 has dropdown that lets me choose the Text Options, "House", "Car" and "Truck".
Next, I have 5 or so other columns underneath with their own text. What I want to do is have different cells highlight themselves depending on what is in Cell B4.
Example, if "House" is selected in B4, I want cells B7 and B9 to highlight. If "Car" is selected, I want cells B7, B8, and B10 to highlight. If "Truck" is highlighted, I want cells B9-B11 to highlight. Is this possible to do? I've tried using If/Then statements, but those don't seem to work for this type of thing.
Check If Text String In Cell With Other Text Is In List
Mar 27, 2008I 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.
Excel 2013 :: Check Cell For Text And Return Corresponding Text In Adjacent Cell?
Jan 28, 2014I have 2 tabs in a 2013 workbook. Inventory Receipts and lookups. One of the Data verification lookups I have is a drop down list in each cell in Column B (eg: Cat, Dog, Mouse) In the lookups tab I have another cell range containing the sounds (eg: Meow, Bark, Squeak).
What I am trying to acheive is, if B2 contains Cat, then return Meow in B3, if B2 contains Dog then return bark in b3 and if B2 contains Mouse return squeak in B3. Ideally I would like the formula to return the text from my lookup sheet (eg: 'Lookups'!C2,'Lookups'!C3,'Lookups'!C4). So depending on which option they choose from my animal drop down list .. the correct noise would automatically fill in.
Check For The Presence Of A Particular Text
Jun 1, 2009I have 3 columns, C1, C2, C3. I have to return a value for the following conditions
1. Check for the presence of a particular text in the C 1 (duplicate values can be present)
2. Check for the maximum value in C2, if the second for the particular text from the first column (duplicate values can be present)
3. If the text is found, I need to return the Maximum value from column 3. Else I need to return 0.
My formula has been returning zero despite the fact that I have a larger valid value in column C3.
The formula(s) I have been running is
1. IF((AND(C1 = "E", Max(C2))), (C3),0)
2. IF((AND(C1 = "E", Max(C2))),MAX (C3),0) (In case of duplicated in C3)
3. IF((AND(C1 = "E", Max(C2))),MAXA(C3),0)

Jan 9, 2012Can the below be achieved with any formulae or macro -
I have 2 worksheets (sheet1 & sheet2). In sheet2, i have some colors in column A (e.g. "red" in A1, "blue" in A2, "green" in A3.
In sheet1, i have some text strings in column A, e.g.

A2: my pen in blue
A3: Green grass

What i want in corresponding cells in column B, is the name of the color which is in column A. so my output should be

B5: red (even though it contains 2 color, i am happy to show any one of the colors it contains)

Check For Specific Text
Jun 5, 2009am trying to write code to check if a cell contains specific text.
Basically, I hide all of the rows on the spreadsheet, and unhide them only if certain conditions are true.
Everything else, including first check is not a problem, it is just the part where I need to find specific text within a cell that contains various words.
Also, the cell I am searching for the text in is on a different sheet within the same book.
e.g.
------------------------
'Check for Specific parts
If Cells(intCount, 11).Value = "Yes" And ??(Does Cell 'x' (on a different worksheet) Contain the Word "Specific")? Then
'Select row
Rows(intCount).Select
'hide row
Selection.EntireRow.Hidden = False
End If

Check For Integer Or Text
Apr 13, 2007I'm on a time crunch and can't remember or seem to be able to find how to check if a value stored in a variable is a number or is text.
I want to be able to define QTY under the general public definition with no designation (i.e. integer, date, string...so on.)
The variable QTY could be anything and I grab some parsed data from a cell, if it is filled with a number I want to keep it, if not I want to delete it.
I know how to keep it or delete it, I just need to know how to check for integers...(check to see if it is a number from the keypad...I can still store it as text -- maybe integer isn't the best word).
I see you (whomever you is) fixed the "Deletked" in the message box...it is now Deleted. I can't give you a hard time about not following the rules now.

Check If Cell Has Numbers Or Text
Aug 6, 2008I'm having a hard time figuring out a solution for this situation. By the way I'm working in VBA macros. I need to check a cell for two things: if its empty or if it has something besides numbers in it. I know how to code the rest of what I need, but I'm just stuck on identifying if the cell has something else besides numbers inside it.
Possible entries would be "Isn't an enhancement" or "NOT A SIR", but I can't be sure those are the only things so I just generally need to check if there are any letters in that cell or not. One thing to note is that the contents of the cells are in text format and not number (the cell has a little green arrow in the top left that tells me about it). Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance! Oh, just remembered, the number has to be 5 numbers long so I thought of using the Len() function but that doesn't cover things that are words under 5 letters like "None".

Calling Text With Check Box Option On VBA Form?
Mar 21, 20141. I have text message on Excel Sheet 1. I have designed a form that has Multiple Check Boxes. Primary, CO-applicant and Co-signer vertically placed. And I have 3 Check Boxes that have been placed Horizontally Alerts, Public records and Mismatch Information.
What I am looking is I should be able to Pick 1 or all the 3 from Vertical Check Box which would be Primary, or co-applicant and Co-signer and also appropriately pick any from the Horizontal Check Boxes Alerts, Public Records and Mismatch Info.
For example: I the Text Box1 below should appear like this:
Primary: DOB Mismatch or and Bankruptcy any of those options.
Similarly for Co-applicant and Co-signer.
2. I have a Text Box2 on Comments page. The information from Text Box 1 Appears in Text Box 2. Once the form is run I am unable to make corrections if any in Text Box 2. Is it possible for me to edit the test that is copied in Text Box 2.
