How To Search & Select A Worksheet By Name
Aug 28, 2008
I have set a String Variable as a worksheet name in one workbook and I want to find that worksheet name in another workbook that I have opened using VBA to write data to it.
When I try to use the variable, it gives me a Run-time error 9 Subscript out of Range.
Part of my code
Dim strSheetName As String
strSheetName = ActiveSheet.Name { This is on the ist WorkBook}
Application.Workbooks("Customers-2008").Activate { This is on the 2nd WorkBook}
MsgBox ("Here is " & strSheetName & " "") { This is to see if strSheetName is passed} It is
This is where the problem is on the new Workbook
Sheets("strSheetName").Select
How can I select the value of strSheetName which is the sheetname that I want to select

I have a workbook with 4 worksheet that store different type of data. It also has a userform that load at start of the application which is to search the data in the workbook. The userform has a combobox where the names of the sheets are stored. when the user selects say Sheet2 in the combobox, it enables the relevant textboxes on the userform and activates the worksheet at the change event. The userform has a search button that searches all the worksheets based on the text entered in a textbox.
The problem: how to search based on 1 textbox. What I want is: say for e.g the end-user selects sheet2 from the combobox, this intern enables 4 textboxes (Name, DOB, Nationality, ID #) on the userform. The end-user should have the liberty to enter data in 1 and/or any of the textboxes. The search should be performed, that if data is only in 1 of any of textboxes then give all rows that fit that criteria and display in a temp worksheet. if say the name and dob is filled by the user than what matches both should be displayed in a temp worksheet. if say dob, name and ID# given so the search button should narrow down to fit all 3 criteria and then display result in temp worksheet. As if mentioned data can be entered in either just 1 or any or all textboxes.
E.g. the worksheet is (Columns are Name, Nationality, DOB, ID#)
row 1 = name: Steven Martin, DOB: 27-may-1993, Nationality: Trinidad & Tobago, ID #: 1234567
row 2 = name: Gary Richards, DOB: 2-FEB-1993, Nationality: British, ID #: 456789
row 3 = name: David Cohen, DOB: 27-May 1993, Nationality: American, ID #: 98765
row 4 = name: Roberto McDonalds, DOB 21-Jul-1962, Nationality: British, ID # 654321
row 5= name: Gary Richards, DOB: 01-Dec-1978, Nationality: Australian, ID # 1234567
Now if the user enters only name as "Gary Richards" and search then row 2 and 5 should be displayed in a temp worksheet. if user enters name Roberto McDonald and ID# 1234567 then it should not display anything. if user enters DOB 27-may-1993 and nationality British and ID # 1234567 then as well shouldn't display anything and should a msgbox "no data found".

I've been tackling this data capture/paste issue for a week or so. I found the string below which does provide a good foundation for my challenge. But, my basic level of understanding macros limits my modifications to meet my needs.
[URL] ......
I have 20 worksheets in my master file corresponding to Excel files individual associates will update weekly. After the associates have updated their individual files for the week, I want to capture the data entered and paste values into a master file containing a worksheet for each associate (sharing the same name as the individual associate file). All of these files are housed on team SharePoint sites.
I need a macro to perform several steps after clicking a "Run Update" macro button in the master file:
Open individual associate fileIn master file, search for each Initiative listed in column B (starting cell B3) in the individual associate file (in column B starting at cell B11)If Initiative is found in individual associate file, copy adjacent data in columns D:J for the respective rowIn master file, paste values to the corresponding Initiative row for the corresponding week's worth of dataIf Initiative is not found in the individual associate file, move to the next Initiative listed in the master fileRepeat these steps for each individual associate file
Linking would be the easiest way to accomplish this if I wanted to have a multitude of weekly individual files for the associates. However, I'd rather each associate have one file for them to update (basically overwriting their previous week's entries).
I need to ensure the paste values corresponds to the appropriate day of the week. In simpler terms, if the date in the individual associate file in cell D9 reads Oct 1, 2012, the data captured from that row needs to be pasted to the corresponding row/column in the master file that reads the same date.

I have an Excel Sheet with three columns of data. In a separate worksheet, I am setting up some calculations. To do so, I am having the user select from a drop down list, the data in the first and second columns. Based on the two values selected by the user, I would like to bring forward the value in the third column. Can someone please help me out with the formula to do so?

I have a button set to bring up an inputbox. enter serial number.
What I need to do is enter the serial number and then have the macro look through a
single column of values to match it then go to that row.
This seemed so simple I thought I could get it but alas here I sit...
I have tried to search the forum for a similar code but haven't found one that was close enough to make sense to me. I have ut together alot of individual actions, but how to get the value inputed to "search" the column and once found go to that row.
I also need to make sure it accounts for new rows being added in the future. (no set row range)

What I am looking to do is search using a user input and select all the rows that contain the entered search text.
I have 4 sheet workbook, columns are the same across them all, and what i require is to be able to take a text input from a user, maybe what column to search, and in what sheet. Then search the relevant sheet for matches. Once found the record that contains the match is to be copied to another sheet where filters can e applied. There will be multiple records selected for each search.

I tried both IF and LOOKUP and failed. I'm trying to search for values from one worksheet and identify whether or not those values exist in another worksheet. I attempted the following lookup in field A2:
=LOOKUP(B2,Sheet3!A$2:A$914,Sheet3!C$2:C$914)
B2 (thru B5000 or so) contains values I want to search for; sheet3!A$2:A914 is where I want to look and column C of that same sheet, entered the text "Yes" in an attempt to have the results list "Yes" for hits and N/A for misses. (All fields are text.) I copied the formula all the way down the sheet in column A. The result it is returning is N/A in A2 and Yes in A2 -to the bottom, which is incorrect.

I have (finally!) created a simple bookkeeping system. It consists of 3 worksheet. #1 just has a button to call up a data entry form (& associated macro). #2 stores the data and #3 holds the values used to automatically create the dropdown lists in the form when it is called up. Doing this, I can enter all my money records using a quick 'point & shoot' dropdowns, except for the cash amounts entered. To search the data, I just use the filter functions to search the data sheet (#2).
I want to search the data sheet using a form (similar to the data entry form) called up from a button on the first sheet (#1). The search variables would be selected from the dropdowns and the results displayed under the form on the first worksheet. For example, I would select 'Utility Payments' and 'February 2007' and the result displayed would be: " Total Utility Payments for February 2007 is £[Total of all payments summed here]". I've tried some of the solutions in the previous posts, each of which gets me some of the solution but I can't combine these answers into one solution.

I think this may be a little difficult (for me at least!) but would it be possible to have a list of the open workbooks popup when I run my macro, so that I may select which workbook to run it on?
The macro itself just does some formatting of the sheet, but it is contained in a master file.

I attached my workbook so you guys can easily take a look.
In this workbook I have 2 hidden worksheets.
To start off, you click the Add Week button, put in a date (mm-dd-yy), that brings up the sheet thats named with the date you just put in the text box. (Which happens to be placed in the wrong spot) In that sheet that appears theres a button to "Delete last" which is suposed to delete the last sheet in the worksheet but the new sheet gets placed between the existing charts. Thats my first problem.
Next, when you hit the delete button, my VBA code is set to make one of the hidden sheets visible so it can delete one of the rows.

I have a workbook with around 350 worksheets. A column in the main sheet contains a list of part numbers which correspond to the names of the worksheet tabs. When a cell on the main sheet containing a part number is selected I would like a macro to find the corresponding worksheet, move that worksheet to the end of the row of tabs and open it.

I am trying to run some code when a worksheet is selected.
I'm doing this using a macro currently (code below), but this requires that i use a quick menu button and i would like to make it a form button and assign a macro to it (so i can distribute the file without everyone having to create a menu button).
I would like to replace (or modify) the code below to select any sheet other than the ones named "a" and "b".
Code:
Sub ImportAlarms()
Dim thisSheet As Worksheet
Dim targetSheet As Worksheet
On Error GoTo failed
Set thisSheet = Application.ActiveSheet
Set targetSheet = Sheets(TARGET_SHEET)
[Code] .......

I have a user form containing a drop down list and two text boxes. The drop down list contains at the moment 2 items (address 1 and address 2) I have two worksheets,1st named address 1 and 2nd address 2. So far I have it set up so that the information enter in to text box 1 and 2 plus whichever one of the address is selected from the drop down list is entered in to the next available blank row on the active work sheet. What I would like to achieve is when address 1 is selected from the drop down list all of information is added to sheet 1 in the next blank row, same for address 2, this would be enter into sheet.2
All of the above would run from a command button (Enter)

with a macros to search for a certain value through an input box, and once that value is found, I need its corresponding row to be cut and pasted into the next available row in its corresponding sheet, and then the remainging rows to be shifted up.
For example, in column B of sheet 1, I have trap ID's. I need an input box that will search for the 'trap ID' that I enter, and then cut that row and paste it into its corresponding sheet. I will have numerous other sheets with different titles, so I was hoping to add the sheet to transfer the row to in the inputbox. I have found and modified a code, but cannot quite figure out what im doing wrong. I have attached my current code.

I would like to add a search bar to the top of an excel sheet where I can search through 2 rows and find a part number I request.
I know this can be done using Ctrl+F but that thing is really annoying and sometimes if your not clicked on the same row your searching it doesn't work, I just want to keep it simple.
I have over 36,600 items to search

I'm using the following code. It works fine when it comes to selecting the cell. However, I'm not sure how to bring the view of the worksheet such that the selected cell is in the middle of the sheet. I've the data horizontally laid out from column A to column BM. So, when someone makes a change in Sheet2 I need to point to the corresponding column in Sheet1 such that it is in the view.
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim CellName As String
CellName = Range("A1").Value
[Code]....

I seem to running into dead ends with each previous post concerning this similar idea, despite brave efforts of kind people . . .
So here is another thought: As the title suggests, can one help me with code that would take the value in (say) Sheet1A1 (Say Harry) and use that value to search for a sheet with that name (Harry) in the same workbook and then link to that sheet, cell A1 (Harry!A1)?
The other posts are here, should you want to know, but they differ as far as the linking method goes:
Post 1, Title: Newly created Tab Names placed as Hyperlink on Content Sheet
Newly created Tab Names placed as Hyperlink on Content Sheet
Post 2, Title: Automatically redirect hyperlink when cell value changes

I have a userform that does search using Name. If there are multiple records found it displays a message "There are X instances of (value in name)" and shows a list box. When user selects Find All, the multicolumn listbox gets populated. Selecting a row in lisbox populates the corresponding values in the userform. Problem is that selecting a row in listbox fails to select the corresponding row in the worksheet. As a result, if i change the values in the textbox (say for eg. Phone) the changes are updated in the row selected on the worksheet but not on the required row! Pardon my innocense, I am very new to VBA. find the attached worksheet. This is not my work, I found it during research. Auto Merged Post;Sorry the previous file had error. find the updated worksheet.
