The list of filenames in the "A-H" folder has different dates and codes, how do I go about fixing wildcard *Carnivore* so that regardless of the date and code, there will be a match.

I have this code that looks through my worksheet once the conditions are met it will email, and in column "M" I put a hyperlink to where the document is stored. All works as far as the email format, even grabs the hyperlink but it’s not clickable in the email.
Here is the code.
I am outlook 07 and vista 07.
Option Explicit Const Startingrow = 11 'Data starts on row ## Const AlarmDelay = 183 'send warning Sub CheckTimeLeftFac() 'References needed : 'Microsoft Outlook Object Library
Dim i As Long Dim j As Long Dim msg As Long Dim Lastrow As Long Dim WhoTo As String Dim SubjectLine As String Dim MessageBody As String Dim olMail As Outlook.MailItem Dim olApp As Outlook.Application Dim strLink As String
I have hyperlinks betwene one worksheet to another - they only only hyperlinked thourh column & rows (eg: A100) etc. How can I lock these hyperlinks but still allow users to insert new rows without losing their place?
I am having a slight problem copying hyperlinks. I have written some code that sorts data by date and then creates a simple diary. It originally placed the name of the event in the new diary sheet. What I would like to do is instead of copying the name into this new sheet copy a hyperlink that I have created to the company's website for that event.
I can create the hyperlink using hyperlink(B1,A1) where A1 is the company name and B1 is the web address but since the new sheet will not have the underlying data I need to actually copy the values and format of the hyperlink rather than the formula.
I transferring data from the mainframe and some data has ????. I can not replace them with something else because excel think it is wildcard. The reason for this request is I was trying to count the number of cells that has ???? and the count was something different each time. If you want to have fun try it out. It will count ?, ??, ??? but not ????.However my question would be how to change this (????) to some thing like unknown...
For Each rngC In rngJbn rngC = Trim(rngC) If rngC.Value <> newvalue And rngC.Value <> "ab-" Then 'MsgBox "****" & rngC & "***" Résultat = Application.CountIf(Range("C2:C" & Range("C" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible), rngC)
MsgBox rngC & " " & Résultat & " " & i End If newvalue = rngC.Value Next
Is it possible to use the wildcard in an IF formula? For instance, I have a spreadsheet with text and numbers in the cells, the number of characters varies in the cells so a left, right or mid is out. I want the formula to look to the cell and if any part of the text contains "ABC" then I want to return 1. =IF(C18="*ABC*",1,"") Cell C18 containts the letters ABC in order but my formula is still returning blanks?
The use of * as a wildcard in excel can be extremely useful, however, can it be turned off? I work in the education sector and am currently number crunching GCSE results. When it comes to calculating A* grades versus A grades, B grades, etc, I cannot seem to do it because of the wildcard.
As far as I know, a wildcard can't be used in an "if" statement. I have a list of "job names" that vary slightly from time to time. When we use a Bunnings "(building account) people give a job name such as "121 William Drive". Sometimes however, the person in the store spells it incorrectly. Is there a way to find a wildcard in the following manner?
Find any word that begins with "121" and ends in "ve"
In a1 it says: "121 wilaim jnes drive" I have tried the following formula in b1:
=IF(a1="121*ve","yes","no")
Why does it say "no"? Is there a formula for using wildcards in an "if" statement?
I was wondering is there away where i can lookup A:A anything begging with Ves* ? and then i need to copy the formula down to pick up the next one in the list
im guessing something like =VLOOKUP(A:A,"Ves*") but i havent got a clue
I need to lookup data from four different columns to match a value in another sheet. The lookup value has to start with "4" in order for it to be the correct match. I've tried the following formula for just two columns:
The problem I have is that the wildcard function isn't working in my If statement (apparentley that's how Excel was designed). The first vlookup returns the value "40042565" but Excel doesn't show it matching the criteria with the wildcard ("4*").
Any way to lookup the value in C2, search through multiple columns, and return the value that starts with "4"?
We have an ISP based antispam system which can sometimes incorrectly pickup messages as Spam. I would like to scan through all quarantined messages every week to check that this does not happen. I can export a report from the program to excel but what I would like to do is remove subject lines with common spam words (Viagra, Russian etc) so I don’t need to check these, this would in effect reduce the report by 85%.
Ideally the ‘spam word’ list would be on the second sheet as in example and could be added to as I find obvious words.
The ideal end result would either be all lines which have a word from the ‘Spamwords’ sheet are removed or all lines which do not match the words in the spam list are copied to a new sheet.
I've this question, how do i extract a part of the text using wildcard(example "ID=") in the string in the whole columns and copy to other columns or delete the unwanted.
Below is a example which i create for better understanding.
I'm trying to use a "WildCard" in an Array Formula to both simplify and handle variations in several formulas.
My work sheet is used for Time Cards. I have a tab for each of the 52 weeks in the year and each tab is labeled "W1", "W2" for Week 1, Week 2, etc.
On my SUMMARY tab, I'm using an array formula that looks at cell "'SUMMARY'!D6" for a project number, and than searches through all of the Week Tabs for anyone that has charged time against that project.
The employee would enter the project number in D12:D35 of a given weeks tab with each row representing a different task for that week. In some cases they may have several rows for the same project number.
On the SUMMARY tab, the formula for Week 1 is in cell E6. For Week 2 it's in F6, etc.
I was thinking I could simply place the sheet tab name in the row above (i.e. D5, E5, F5, etc., and then write the formula for 1 cell and copy it to all of the other cells on that row.
Currently my formula looks like: {=IF($D$6="","",SUM(IF('W1'!$D$12:$D35=$D6,('W1'!$N$12:$N$35))))}
I was thinking the formula might look like: {=IF($D$6="","",SUM(IF('&E5&'!$D$12:$D35=$D6,('&E5&'!$N$12:$N$35))))}
But that isn't working.
Additionally I was hoping to do something similar on the SUMMARY tab by referencing a different spreadsheet with something like: ='[&A1&]Sheet1'!$B$51 Where cell A1 has the value "Time Sheets - 01-17-09.xls"Currently the formula looks like: ='[Time Sheets - 01-17-09.xls]Sheet1'!$B$51
I've been looking around for a way to use the countif function in excel with a wildcard, I have a excel list with a column containing data which looks like: ....
I am trying to return how many cells contain a string of text as entered by the user but I am struggling to put wildcards around my search term. Below is the code I have so far.
Code: Dim search as String Dim occurance As Integer
I have a spreadsheet where there are lines of different Wage Types but only certain combinations are needed. For example I have Pay Area 1234 which needs all wage types except those beginning with a 9.
To do this I have set up Sheet1 to look like this:
12341 12342 12343 12344 12345 12346 12347 12348
and not 12349 as I do not require this type.
The problem here is I need to add a wildcard to the end of these so it finds anything that starts with 12341 etc.
Sheet1 contains the personal details of employees and I have concatenated the Payroll Area and Wage type in column D.
Code:
Sub deleterows() Application.ScreenUpdating = False Set MySheet = Sheets("data") LR = MySheet.Cells(Rows.Count, "D").End(xlUp).Row For i = LR To 2 Step -1
I maintain a control list of all properties held by the company. Each month I have to manually review all property-related transactions (see transaction description column) and input in column "Key 1" the property it relates to by reviewing the data in the transaction description and finding the property in the control list. Is there a way I can automate this process with a forumla?
some key points: - the name in the control list can appear at any positiion in the transaction description - various transactions relating to the same property will appear in the transaction description listing many times and key 1 will need to be completed against each entry - if there is no match between the transaction descripton and the control list then the relevant cell in column "Key 1" should show as "Not Found"
I am trying to create a macro that imports a text file that has a changing name (it has date/time info in it). The file name will have some consistent parts and the rest I hope to be able to use wildcards on. In the code below, the path will be constant and the file name will always have "Heavy Water" in it. How can I change the code to import any version of the file?
I'm trying to create 2 separate data sets based on year (06 vs. 07). To do so, I created a column and created an if then statement that populates with Yes If the date value is "like" 2006". Excel didn't like the ? or asterik. Is there some other syntax that will accomplish.
While I open to other approaches for filtering these 2 data sets, Ive been wondering for awhile about excel and wildcard logic.
Tring to get the following spread sheet to calc column C using two criteria Criteria 1 Column D must contain HC Investor anywhere Criteria 2 Column A must be less than Reimbrusement - 11 The following formula in G2 appears to have an error in criteria 1 ....
I have a little problem in using wildcard character in IF condition.
eg: -------------------------- For I = 2 to LastRow If Activesheet.cells(I,5).Text = "ENF*" then ........................... ........................... ........................... End If Next I --------------------------
I want the code to search for any word starting with ENF and then take the necessary action.
Could anyone tell me how to make use of wildcards in a situation like this.
I have numerous formulas that use a macro with an indirect cell reference, for example: INDIRECT(macro(A21))
I am moving these formulas to a different workbook and I need them to still refer to items in the old sheet. I accomplish this by using this formula:
INDIRECT(CONCATENATE("OtherSheet.xls!",macro(A21))) This works. However, I need to do a global search and replace for all of these formulas without deleting my indirect cell reference. I could replace macro with CONCATENATE("OtherSheet.xls!",macro but that would leave me short a ). Is there a way to use a wildcard to accomplish this? It does not seem that replace macro(*) with CONCATENATE("OtherSheet.xls!",macro(*))
