How To Highlight Misspell Word In A Cell Distinctly

Jun 23, 2013

I 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

Highlight Entire Row When Word Is In Cell

May 12, 2009

What I want to do is select all rows that contain the word conveyor in it. So far I have managed to select all the cells, I have also managed to select the entire row but one row at a time, I have even been able to turn all the cells a different color but I just want to highlight them for other formatting, copying, and several other things that need to be done. I have other documents this could be very useful in too so i want to make it a generic multi-line highlight rather than adding the formatting into the formula.

Get Excel To Automatically Recognize And Highlight All Instances Of Word?

Apr 5, 2014

I'm trying to make a spreadsheet template that will find and replace all instances of a given word with a bold or highlighted version. However, I do not know how to make this process passive and automated. That is, as soon as I type certain words, they should be auto-corrected. Is there a way to set excel so it will recognize certain words and replace them? Is there a way to do this in the settings? I don't think a macro is the right answer in this case, so I put it in the general thread.

Export Cell Contents To Word Fields In A Protected Word Document

Jul 6, 2009

Is it possible to export Excel cell contents to Word fields in a protected Word document? For example...

What code would be needed to tell Excel to open up, copy and export the contents of A2 in the active sheet of a workbook to "Field 2" in a Word document named "Report 01" and then put the contents of B2 to "Field 2" etc?

Do both applications have to be opened up at the same time or is Excel able to open up Word on its own? Will the macro be able to....

1. Automatically open up the correct Word document?

2. Look ONLY in a certain folder for the "Report 01" Word document?

or

Bring up a "selection" box that allows you to select the document you wish Excel to export it's data to?

3. Close and save the Word Document without any user intervention?

Excel 2003 :: Count How Many Times A Word Is In A Range / Word Can Be In Cell More Than Once

Feb 16, 2012

I need to count how many times the word Test is in the range B4:H9 with

Range N2 = Test the formula below works if Test is only in the cell once.

=COUNTIF($B$4:$H$9,"*" & N2 & "*")

But I have data in cells like below, this is all in one cell, so how would I have it count all the times test is in the range when some cells have test 2 or more times in a single cell?

If Word Is Contained Within A Cell, Ouput That Word In Another

Jul 18, 2008

I have a bunch of cells in column b that have products.

Column B
Dell 24" lcd
vaio sony laptop
8.0 mpxl kodak camera
photoepsonprinter

Basically in Column A I want a formula that'll say.

If the word "dell" is somewhere in cell b1, then put the word "Dell" in cell a1.
If the word "sony" is somewhere in cell b1, then put the word "sony" in cell a1.

And then so on and so forth down through column A. The brand names are potentially endless, so is there a easy way to on like a seperate sheet make a list of brand names and have it pull from there?

Originally I made a if function that said if the brand name was contained in the cell then output the brand name, but that caps at 7 for the amount of brands i can use....

Conditional Formatting - Highlight Cell If Exists In Any Cell In Range Of Above Row

Apr 14, 2013

This is a conditional formatting problem I have not been able to resolve:

I have a range, say A1:N30

Each cell contains a text/number combination.

I would like to highlight each cell on a specific row if the vale exists within the row above - the issue is that the cell values are not in the same columns.

I have attached a sample workbook with the desired output.

Macro That Will Highlight Cell And Four Rows To Right Based On Text In Cell

Aug 6, 2014

I have a spreadsheet where if Cell A2 says "Deposit", Rows A2-E2 would be formatted with a Blue background.

I've tried conditional formatting, but I can't built it into a Macro (I can't make it run), and it only highlights the cell that has that value. I also tried having the spreadsheet filter down to only the values I want highlighted, then highlighting all cells and un-filtering the column- this didn't work either.

It would basically say :

If (any cell in Row A) has text = "Deposit" (it needs to be exact, it can't be "containing"), set cell with the word "Deposit" and 4 cells to the right as Blue (I'm not picky about the color).

Highlight Cell Based On Value Falling Between Certain Range In Another Cell?

Feb 1, 2012

Let's assume Cell A2, A3, A4, etc, only contain names/text.

Then let's assume I have set up cell B2, B3, B4, etc, to contain a percentage value based on a formula and some other entries I have made.

It should be simple, but I'm having trouble - how do I set up A2, A3, A4, etc, to highlight into different colours based on Column B's data/percentage falling into a certain range?

ie: - if B2 is between 0% - 25%, then highlight A2 green
- if B2 is between 26% - 50%, then highlight A2 orange
- if B2 is between 51% - 100%, then highlight A2 red

Selecting Cell A2 Will Highlight/change Font In Cell A1

Jun 18, 2006

How can I change the font color or highlight cell A1, when I select cell A2. Cell A2 is still blank, no value entered yet. I also would like cell A1 to return to original font color or no hightlight when cell A2 is no longer selected (active), whether a value is entered or not in cell A2. Let me clearify, (A1 thru N1) and (A3 thru N3) have diferent dates and the font color is white, as is the cell too. Therefor you can not see the dates in (A1 thru N1) or (A3 thru N3).

However, when any cell (A2 thru N2) or (A4 thru N4) is selected (example A4), the cell above it (cell A3) changes font color or highlights, so the date can be seen in (A3). But when cell (A4) is no longer selected the above cell (A3) hides the date (changes back to white font on white cell). Data or a value is not necessarily entered into (A4) for (A3) to change. (A4) is only selected to show the date in (A3). But if data or value is entered into (A4), the date in (A3) will still be seen until (A4) is no longer selected/active.

Jan 4, 2012

I am trying to automate the below process:

1. I have a excel file with Japanese words in column A and their English equivalents in column B.

2. I am trying to create a Macro and assign it to a button. On pressing the button Macro should be able to:

3. open a form where I can enter location of a word file.

4. Macro should open the word file specified in (3).

5. Macro will pick up first Japanese word from excel file (Sheet 1 - A1)

6. Search for that word in Word file

7. Replace the Japanese words in Word file with their English equivalent from excel (B1)

8. Then it should search for second word (A2) and replace with its equivalent (B2) and so on till it reaches last filled cell in excel file column A.

After a lot of search I could find a code from net (Below), made a few changes, but it is not working.

Excel 2010 :: Clear Cell If Certain Word Does NOT Appear In Another Cell

Jan 31, 2014

I'm having issues with some coding to work in excel 2003, 2007 & 2010 which will ensure that if cell E3 is changed to anything except "pool_car", then cell D12 is changed to 0.00.

So if a user originally selects "pool_car" in E3 and then enters a figure in D12 (which they are allowed to do using data validation), if they then choose to change the car type in E3, that D12 is then cleared of the figure they entered for the "pool_car".

I'm already using a similar code to clear other cells if another changes but am uncertain of who to change this coding or write other coding to suit.

Highlight Cell That Is Closest Number To Different Cell?

Apr 4, 2014

[Code].....

I am running a time series linear regression on a credit card company. The left most column is the amount of cards they had on a certain year and the prediction is the cards the regression formula predicted. The + and - are the columns added or subtracted the standard error which is 3.25. I am trying to highlight the closest +/- number to the original cards. For example, in the first Row 76.98 is closer to 78 than 83 is so i would like to have 76.98 highlighted...showing that subtracting the standard error gave us the closest prediction. The second column the 87.085 cell should be highlighted because adding the standard error gave us the closest prediction to 86.4.

I have a spreadsheet that records "Audit Date" in column C & "Audit Due Date" in column D. "Audit Due Date" is always 2 years from "Audit Date". I think I learnt the correct forumla to use =EDATE(C2,24). What I would like Excel to do is to highlight "Audit Due Date":

Red: If the audit was completed 1.5 years+ Amber: If the audit was completed between 1 & 1.5 years Green: If the audit was completed less than 1 year The colour key will show me which audits need chasing.

How To Find Specific Word And Sum The Column According To That Word

Mar 14, 2014

I would like to have a formula find a specific word in column L and return the sum from column E for the same fund from column C.

I tried using =SUMIF(L:L,"*annual*",E:E) but that gives me the sum of annual for the entire column. I need to be able to specify the fund.

word "annual" also appears in "semi annual" so I need to be able to separate the two.
