Identify Part Of String In One Column And Return Entry In Neighboring Column?
Feb 28, 2014
I have a spreadsheet of several thousand named items (in column B) with values associated with them in column A). The "name" field is a string of several alternative names for the item.
I have a list of ~50 items that I am trying to find the values for. Each uses one of the alternate names.
What I want is a function that will return the associated value in column A when one of my shortlist names is found.
For example, my big spreadsheet looks like:
AB
1dallas, DFW. 12345
2Atlanta, ATL, 23456
3Boston, BOS, 34567
4Chicago, CHI, 45678
5Los Angles, LA, LAX, 56789
And my list looks like
Atlanta
CHI
I want the output to look something like:
Atlanta2
CHI 4
Is the feasible? IT seems like there should be a way to do it....

In column B & C, starting at row 2, there are first names & surnames. In column H there is a grade for each name, eg B. Columns AC through AH hold subject codes for each name, eg 18E/Hs1 (potentially all columns could contain a code or only 1). The identifying part of the subject code is the first 2 letters after the / . So in the example the subject code 18E/Hs1 the 'Hs' signifies it is History. A table of subject code and their subject name is contained in a named range called Subject_ID (see below). I intend to make this range dynamic.
Subject .Subject
Code......Name
HsHistory
EnEnglish
ChChemistry
ITIT
PhPhilosophy
MpMaths (Pure)
PtPart-time
PyPhysics
SoSociology
BsBusiness Studies
SSSports Science
FrFrench
BiBuilding.
For each name (starting at row 2) I want to achieve the following: Scan across the range containing the subject codes (AC:AH), identify the first two letters after the / and match it to the subject name in the list. Paste the subject name to a cell starting at AI1 and then insert the grade (contained in column H) for that student in the corresponding subject column. The next unique subject name should then miss a column be pasted in AK1.
Example
......B ......C........H.. AC..........AD...........AE..........AF........AG.........AH.........
Matt........Pia......D....18A/Hs1...18B/En1....18B/Hs3
should result in the word History in AI1 and English in AK1 and the letter D in AI2 & AK2. Note as there is already a reference to History this is not repeated again.
I hope this is clear. I have enclosed a sample workbook with expected output and colour coded the subject names so that the order that they are pasted in is evident.

I have data sets on multiple worksheets within a workbook (over 70). Based on the begining of a string, I need to count all instances with that begining, and if there are fewer than 12 instances, delete the entire row.
Data set example:
In this example, I need to count each instance of rows starting with 1/* - 9/*, and delete rows as mentioned. In other data sets the string might start Gi1/*, and so on. In the following code, if I do not loop, and only test against 1 value type, and ONLY run it once, it works. As soone as I try to loop through all possibilities, or run the macro a second time, it blanks out the entire worksheet, starting at row 3.
Dim c As Long
c = Worksheets(i).Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
With Range("A3:A" & c)
If Application.WorksheetFunction.CountIf(Worksheets(i).Columns(1), "1/*") < 12 Then
. AutoFilter field:=1, Criteria1:="1/*"
.Offset(1).Resize(.Rows.Count - 1, 1).EntireRow.Delete
.AutoFilter
I have also tried to concatenate a variable with my CountIf criteria, but that fails miserably.

I've got a spreadsheet with various amounts in cells A3:L5. I want to find the last non-blank entry in each row but only where the entry is in a column headed "Guaranteed PRB" (found in row 1). Then I want it to return the column header title found in row 2, which is a date.
I've attached a sample of the spreadsheet with the expected answer in column M.
I've got as far as formula:
=LOOKUP(2,1/(a3:l3<>""),$a$2:$l$2)
how to also make it look at row 1's headers too.

I'm currently using the formula
=IFERROR(INDEX(startmonthsp,MATCH(TRUE,INDEX(ISNUMBER(E2:AR2),0),0)),"").
The startmonthsp name refers to the months across the top of my pivot table. This formula works but I now need one small change. If the value in the columns are zero or less then I do not want the formula to return that column header (bypass it until it gets a positive value above zero).
Attached is a workbook that shows my formula in action.

Example data:
01/05/2013
150
Yes
01/06/2013
1
Yes
[code].....
Basically I'm trying to write a formula that will sum the total of the numbers from column B but only where the month equals June AND column 3 says "Yes".
So the answer would be 101, because rows 2 and 5 are the only rows of that table that meet all the criteria, and the sum of their column B cells would be 101.
I thought I was getting there with Sumproduct and Sumif but I'm now drawing a blank. There is a little extra complexity in that I'm actually pulling the month value from a set of cells elsewhere, but if someone can solve the puzzle above I hope I can do the rest on my own as it's just locations of data to pull from other worksheets really.

Trying to write a formula that looks for the first number in the same row, then returns the value in that column in a different row. In the example included, cell A-7 should contain the formula. Within row 7, determine the column where the first number is listed (column D in this case), then return the value listed in row 3 of that column ('C' in this case).
I've tried Lookup, Index, and Match functions, but can't seem to get the right combination.

I need to take out the number in the middle, from the period to the space. The number varies in length so just using the mid function doesn't work. Does anyone know how to modify the mid function to return all chars between the period and the space or is there some other function that may work?

I have made this function that returns the string value for a column based on it's number but it starts getting more complicated after I've been thru the alphabet once and have to return two string values to move across the chart.
PHP
Function colnum_string(ByVal num As Integer) As String colnum_string = "IV" If num = 1 Then colnum_string = "A" End If If num = 2 Then colnum_string = "B" End If If num = 3 Then colnum_string = "C" End If If num = 4 Then colnum_string = "D" End If If num = 5 Then colnum_string = "E" End If If num = 6 Then colnum_string = "F" End If If num = 7 Then colnum_string = "G" End If If num = 8 Then colnum_string = "H" End If If num = 9 Then colnum_string = "I" End If If num = 10 Then colnum_string = "J" End If If num = 11 Then colnum_string = "K" End If If num = 12 Then colnum_string = "L" End If If num = 13 Then colnum_string = "M" End If If num = 14 Then colnum_string = "N" End If If num = 15 Then colnum_string = "O" End If If num = 16 Then colnum_string = "P" End If If num = 17 Then colnum_string = "Q" End If If num = 18 Then colnum_string = "R" End If If num = 19 Then colnum_string = "S" End If If num = 20 Then colnum_string = "T" End If If num = 21 Then colnum_string = "U" End If If num = 22 Then colnum_string = "V" End If If num = 23 Then colnum_string = "W" End If If num = 24 Then colnum_string = "X" End If If num = 25 Then colnum_string = "Y" End If If num = 26 Then colnum_string = "Z" End IfEnd Function
Is there a better, more simple way to return the string value for a column from it's number reference?

I am trying to use ADO via VB6 to find a specific input in row A of my excel sheet.
I then want it to return the Column and Row to me separately.
I have a code I already use for returning specific values from cells:
Code:
Function Look(ClosedWorkbookFullName As String, _
SheetName As String, RangeAddress As String) As Variant
Dim conn As Object, rs As Object, SQL As String
Set conn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Set rs = CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
[Code] ......
Now I want something like this I can use as a function, but it obviously needs tweaks.

I would like to search cells in column D for the partial string, "PIPE," (A full string may look like this: 'PIPE, 24"ODx0.375"WT API-5LX-65,ERW OR SMLS'). Then, if it's there, return the value "LF" in the corresponding cell in column C. If that string isn't found, then I'd like it to return "EA".
I know this seems pretty easy, but there's a small problem. The word "BENT PIPE," could be in Column D, in which case, I would want it to return "EA" instead of "LF".

I have a simple lists containing two columns. One column contains a five digit number and the other a vendor name. The vendor name in most cases is two to four words. I am wanting to type in a partial string of the vendor name and it return to me the 5 digit 'vendor' number.
Col A Col B
20567 3M Electrical, Inc.
I want to type in '3m' or '3M' or 'electrical' or 'ELECTRI' and it return the 20567. The other part of this is that there may be two rows with the same info in which I would need to see both...
Col A Col B
20567 3M Electrical, Inc.
21789 3M Tape Division
Is this possible with standard lookup features in Excel or does someone have a VbScript or macro that will accomplish this?

I've been searching the forums for this problem but I can't seem to find any answers. Anyway, this is the problem. See screenshot.
I want to compare A1 for the values in column B, then return the corresponding cell (column C) in column D.
e.g. D1 = 2, D2 = 1, D3 = 4, D4 = 5 and D5 = 3.

Any way to construct a formula in excel that will look at a reference in one column and find the latest date from the data in an adjacent column for that specific reference?
Below is an exctract from a much larger sheet of the columns in question.
The result in the last column should be 21/05/2014 for anything with D.O.001 in the second column and 15/05/2014 for anything with D.O.002.
Date Decision agreed
Disposal Order
Latest Decision date for D.O.
06/05/2014

I need to put a part of a text from a column and place it in a new collumn. At this moment I use 2 columns and an extra sheet to solve this.
I have a collumn with a lot of data like:aaa-bc
bbb
abc-ba-bd
aa-bb
bbb-xx-yy
aa
abc-yy
klmn-zz
klmn-yy-ff
What I need is behind every cell a new cell with only the 1st part like:aaa
bbb
abc
aa
bbb
aa
abc
klmn
klmn
What I do now is use a new column with this formula:
[Code].....
And I made a translation table in which the 1st 4 characters are translated to what I want to see. In a 3d column I use
[Code]....
to get the results I need. Since I need to get results like this very often this method is very time consuming.
Is there a formula available I can use with only 1 new column?

I have a large spreadsheet converted from pdf whose data still appears in A4 reading format.
I need to move part columns of data from 6 columns to form 1 large column in column A.
For example, move range B8 to B76 beneath range A8 to A76 and range C8 to C76 beneath that etc, page by page working through all 270 pages !
Also need to delete unnecessary 'page headers' throughout as in rows 2-6

is there a way to highlight the highest value in a column.
=MAX(A1:A50) will write the highest value in whatever field the formula is written in, but is there a way for the number itself to be highlighted in its given location within the colum.For example, if A 21 contains the highest value in column A, can that cell be highlighted?

I am trying to use a nested INDEX and MATCH array formula to return the value in column C when matching column A and column B, but with a few more criteria.
The range containing all the data
A
B
C
1
Cat 1
January 1, 2014
John
[Code] ..........
I am looking for the array formula to return the name of the person in column C who is in Cat 1 after the date in column B.
For example;
C7 should return "John" because B7 requests "January 15, 2014", which is after the value in B1
C8 should return "John" because B8 requests "February 15, 2014", which is after the value in B1
C9 should return "Andrew" because B9 requests "August 15, 2014", which is after the value in B4
The best try I had for the formula in C7 was
{(INDEX($A$1:$C$4,MATCH(1,($B$1:$B$4>=B7)*(A$1:$A$4=A7),0),3))}
This brings back "John" as desired in C7, but when copying down the table into C8 and C9 both C8 and C9 return Andrew.
I guess this is due to my ">=" condition in the Match formula and it is returning "Andrew" because "Andrew" is also after the date requested, but I cannot for the life of me work out how to get it to work.

Is there any way to remove the first part of a string of text in a cell and save the second part?
The first part of the text string is a team code that has a variable number of numbers, capital letters and sometimes spaces. The second part of the text string is a variable number of words in a team name that all start with a capital letter and have lower case letters. Every line has a different team code and team name.
The original spreadsheet also has a column with just team code. Is there a way of using this column to "subtract" the team code from the text string to just leave the team name?

I have an array 20 Rows x 42 Columns, which contains a competition draw.
I need to search this array for a unique value and return whatever the time is in the first column on the same row as the value appears, and enter it into column C in the Womens Times sheet.
I also want to return into column D the court number from row 3.
The reason i want this automated is as teams enter / withdraw we may need to drag the games from court to court to fill gaps, so i want the Womens Times sheet to update accordingly.
I have been messing around with index and match, but cannot quite get it to return what i need.
I have attached an example ... on the sheet "Womens Times" in column A there is a list of game numbers ( #1W etc etc) indicating womens game #1 and so on. The main sheet i am using also has a seperate tab for the mens games, hence the designator of W or M on the end of the game number.
