Identify Substrings From Within Strings
Apr 10, 2008
Let's say I have a named Range for Cells from A1:A10 on Sheet2 called "List". Examples of what could be contained within this Range are: "dog", "cat", "mouse", etc.
I then have a list of data in Column A on Sheet1, and I want to know whether any of the strings contained within my named Range are contained within Column A. Examples of what could be in Column A are: "the dog jumped over the fence", "the cat ran around the table", etc.
Does anyone know a formula I can use that will identify what string from my named Range is in Column A, by means of entering that string into Column B of Sheet1?

I am having no success using either: 1) COUNTIF with wildcard (*) or 2) Case Statements to find text strings in a cell. I've even tried using Copy/Paste Special values to change the way Excel 2007 interprets the field.
The Do While loop looks at target cells in Col. 18 which contains one or more specific last names. I want to put a text string (also a name) in Col. 19 IF the target cell contains the last name in the COUNTIF or Case Statements. The COUNTIF normally puts a TRUE or FALSE based on the condition, but I'd like to put the the last name based on which condition is met and then continue looping to Row 3. It's a small number of rows, less than 100.
Here's the Case statement ...

How to return multiple values that are adjacent to a series of the same substring. So here is the setup. Say in cell [A1] I have a very long string. Within this string, the following substring will occur an unknown number of times:
"@baseRate":"499.0"
This part, "@baseRate": will always be the same, but the "499.0" will vary (both the length of that string and the number of occurrences of the string will vary). So I could have a string like this in [A1]:
....."@baseRate":"499.0"........."@baseRate":"399.0".........."@baseRate":"99.0" (the periods are other parts of the string that I am not concerned with)
What I would like to return in [B1]:[D1] would look like the following:
B1: 499.0 C1: 399.0 D1: 99.0
The problem I foresee is the actual rate data I am looking for will not have a fixed length and the "@baseRate" could occur one time or it could occur 30+ times.

I need to do a vlookup that takes a string from one cell and then tries to find that string (embedded in a larger string) in the table array
Essentially I imagine this involves the FIND function at some point.
Attached is an incredibly simplified example of what I'm looking for.

I have an excel worksheet with about 10K rows of data in column A.
I have also another list of data, about 200 rows of data, in column G.
I need to color each cell in column A that contains, anywere in the string, any of the data strings in column G.
Example:
in column A
row 1: info@duende.com
row 2: rasko@silvester.com
row 3: supportonline@fabius.com
row 4: myhelp@friday.com
in column G:
row 1: help
row 2: info
row 3: support
I need rows 1, 3 and 4 in column A to be colored.

I have a worksheet with a large amount of data in it. Every couple of months the data will change and I place this in a different sheet (sheet 2, this comes from a software tool) . Is there's some code that can run a check on sheet 1 compare all values against sheet 2 and highlight the rows that have a different value between sheet 1 and sheet 2? Perhaps paste the rows into sheet 3 with the different value highlighted??
Example of original and changed data attached : example_2.xlsx

(I cannot attach the files as it is all personal information) Basically its list that looks like this:
2014-02-11 John Doe

2014-02-17 John Doe
2014-02-10 Mary Jane
2014-02-11 Mary Jane
2014-02-16 Mary Jane
2014-02-10 Frank Simms
2014-02-11 Frank Simms
2014-02-18 Frank Simms
2014-02-11 Tony Sly
2014-02-12 Tony Sly
2014-02-17 Tony Sly
Im trying to identify anyone who does not have an entry on 2014-02-17. I've played around with combing IF and VLOOKUP and Conditional formatting but I couldn't seem to get it to work. If it were to find a date, no problem, but to find someone without that date I'm having issues. If there was a way to highlight or identify Mary Jane and Frank Simms since they don't have an entry on 2014-02-17, that would be great.

I have two worksheets one worksheet contains Insurnace names and Addresses from a hospital. I need to match these up to specific Insurance codes from a billing company worksheet. The bad thing is my billing database has multiple duplicate addresses for different insurances (Yes this does happen where different Insurances have the same address-don't ask me why). So originally I did a VLOOKUP where I looked up the address from the hospital Spreadsheet and matched it to the Insurance Specific code. The pitfall to doing it this way is that it only grabs the first exact match from the Billing worksheet. Is there a way to either automatically identify the possible matches and allow me to choose which one is the exact match or how do I just identify duplicates on my billing worksheet and match them manually? I attached the worksheet.

I need help with creating a simple formula.
What I have:
..A B C D E
1 3 4 6 5
2 6 2 3 8
I want to identify that A1, B1, C1, D1 are > B2. My formula will be placed in E1 so then I want a value of 1 to show up in cell E1 indicating the identification was successful. I can't figure out how to make this happen. My formulas so far in E1: =sum(A1>B2)&(B1>B2)&(C1>B2)&(D1>B2) This formula comes up with 0FALSEFALSE instead of the value of 1 I am desiring.
What I want:
..A B C D E
1 3 4 6 5 1
2 6 2 3 8

I have written a UDF to do some calculations i a workbook. I would like to run a sub, checking the cells in the spreadsheet to see if my formula is present. and if so, then add or change an argument in the formula. My problem is:
How do I write the code so that it will recognize my formula ? Is it possible to attach a tag to a formula which Excel can search for ? I cannot search for the formula including arguments from specific cells, relativ to the formula cell, as the user is free to input the arguments with reference from anywhere in the workbook.

I am looking for a way to search using macros. Currently i can search/find by cell, but i need to find with mulitple cells. An example is, sheet 1 "A2" and "B3" date needs to be compared to sheet 2 to see if the data is already in sheet 2. Column A is first name and Column B is last name. Need to know if that full name (first and last) is already in second sheet. I can already search for just the first name or just the last name but now the two together.

A person on this board did this for me with this so far and I need to be able to view more than 16 rows. I would like to view all the rows it finds. I have 62,000 rows on information this far and will exceed 500,000 so you can see my need to see all involved to save hours of sifting through data. I would also like a place up top near the box (column G.H)(3,4,5) another box for me to enter a new number combination to search. Presently I have to go through the data to find the first one which is also time consuming. I would like to be able to put say for example in the area I am mentioning:

I have put a rectangle shape in a cell in excel. The shape is within the border of a particular cell.
Is there a way to find the reference of the cell on which that particular shape resides.
For example, I have kept a rectangle shape in cell F5. I was looking for a macro which would return the cell reference "F5" in which the shape resides.

Have a list of approx. 125 people (for our church's prayer list). What I would like to do is have a formula/macro that will identify and print the ones on the list
-that have been on the list less than 2 months
-identify by printing one "*" by thier name when the 2 months will be up in 2 weeks
-identify by printing two "**" by the name when the person will be removed in one week.
Another way of stating what I am wanting Excel's functions to do is the following:
In one column, I would enter the date a person is added to the list, then I would want the formula/macro to calculate the date the person would be removed from the list. When the list is printed weekly for our bulletin, I would like the program to create the list/print only the persons who have been on the list less than two months. In addition, I would like for the ones that will be removed in 2 weeks to be identified with an asterick when the printing is done. Then 2 astericks when the person would be removed in one week.(This would allert people to update us on the person's condition and continued need for special prayer.)
Of course, I would like this calculation to be done automatically when the data base is opened. OR REQESTED. I'm not sure of my terminology here! I want the calculations to be done without me having to redo the database and formula/macro weekly.
I sure hope this request is clear!

I have a worksheet which records whether a form was filled out in a specific time period . Now I'm down to the last fews bits.... See on the example attached (Sheet is TOP Report) - I have now managed to put formulas in to work out if the TOP was done in a particular time window, however I now need to figure out for each client which windows were missed, e.g on row 7 I can see by looking that the client missed windows 1 and 4, but is there a way to get excel to tell me this without me having to read each line??

It's a time sheet that I need to have whatever data is listed in column E to be listed starting in cell C27 but only once even if it's listed several times. In cell D27 I need the sums to match the data to it's left with the values from above in column D. I've used fill colors to help show my intent. I would also like it to keep track of remaining vacation time by recognizing the word 'VAC' from column E and subtract the value from it's left. This value is shown in cell J26 as '46hrs REMAINING'.

i currently have two columns (e.g. A2:A400, B2:B20) and i am trying to match all the values in B to A, displaying TRUE or FALSE (if the values from B don't appear in A) in column C.
i have tried using the various formula for duplicates, substituting what i thought would be the correct formula, but to no avail.

formula that will produce the number sequence as shown in the third column of the table. The sequence starts at 1 and if the colour changes then the number is 2 and if the colour changes again then the number is 3 and so on. The part I'm having difficulty with is that if the name in the first column changes then the sequence must reset to the number 1 and become 2,3 etc. as above when the colour changes.

I have few macros that I use to reconfigure a particular workbook into a sort of "developer mode". I keep them in a text file that I can paste them from when I'm working on it and then delete them before I send it out to other people.
I'd like to be able to script them so they only run if the workbook is open on a specific machine (namely mine). Is there any way to identify the specific computer a spreadsheet is being run on?
