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....
I am trying to identify the row(s) where a match occurs when there can be multiple occurrences of the match.
A B C
1 john brown Brown True
2 Cathy Smith
3 Brown excavating company
4 XYZ Corp
5 Brown Advisors Inc.
The first test I ran in cell C1 with the information above was to determine if "Brown" was located in the range of A1:A5 using formula: =IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH("*"&B1&"*",A1:A5,0))=TRUE,"True","False")
In the case of the word "Brown" it occurs in the range of A1:A5 three times, so the result of the above formula would be "True"
Now what I would like to do is return the locations, in this case the row number(s), where the word brown is contained range of A1:A5 because in the case of the word Brown, it occurs three separate times in the range of A1:A5. I would like the resulting value of the formula in this case to be "1, 3, 5" indicating the word Brown occurs in rows 1, 3, and 5. The formula also needs to work in case there is only one match as well.
I tried using the below array formula: ={MATCH(FALSE,ISERROR(SEARCH(B1,'Working List of Vendors'!$A$1:$A$5)),0)} But it would only return the first occurrence of the match which in this case would be row 1, or "1"
I have an excel program that is supposed to count word instances in a word document. I can't seem to find the right declaration for a word document. For example to declare a workbook in excel its
Dim wb As Work Book
I've tried
Dim doc As Word.Document 'or Dim doc As Word.Application
as shown in some of the forum posts, but an error user-type not defined keeps displaying.
Is it possible to export Excel cell contents to Word fields in a protected Word document? For example...
What code would be needed to tell Excel to open up, copy and export the contents of A2 in the active sheet of a workbook to "Field 2" in a Word document named "Report 01" and then put the contents of B2 to "Field 2" etc?
Do both applications have to be opened up at the same time or is Excel able to open up Word on its own? Will the macro be able to....
1. Automatically open up the correct Word document?
2. Look ONLY in a certain folder for the "Report 01" Word document?
or
Bring up a "selection" box that allows you to select the document you wish Excel to export it's data to?
3. Close and save the Word Document without any user intervention?
I need to count how many times the word Test is in the range B4:H9 with
Range N2 = Test the formula below works if Test is only in the cell once.
=COUNTIF($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?
I need my macros to search for the word "Cancel" or "Cancelled" in columns "T" and "U". Once found, I need the macros to make that entire row an opaque shading.
There will be other wording in these cells that contain "Cancel" or "Cancelled". Is it possible for the macros to search in the sentence and find the words "Cancel" or "Cancelled"
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.

I am in the middle of automating a process here at work, the program takes a word, "pencil" for example, from excel. It will then open up a word document with content already in it (premade template). The program will then find all instances of a string, "placepencilhere" for example, and will replace that instance with the string from excel.
Basically I want to be able to take a variable that has a stored string value from excel and use it to replace another variable in a word document.
I tried recording a replace (ctrl+f, replace tab) macro, copying the code, and inserting it into the excel vba code.. but I get a error message. Here is what I have:
I have a set of data which contains " Account Heads" in Column "A" and "Data" in Column "B", "Data" contains "Account Heads" with some other text as well, i want to have the Account Head in Column "C" based on the "Account Heads" from "Data"
I'm trying to figure out the best way to pull information from different worksheets. One field which I require has slight alterations between the sheets. I'd like to delete everything in the cell except for the very first word.
Here is a simple example (and I'd have this all through column A for instance)
Cell A1 = Multiple words here
Lets say I want to delete everything in the cell except the word "multiple"
I am working on doing a vlookup for values on another that may or may not be in a different order. Vlookup won't pick these words up, so I was wondering if anyone knew a solution or a way to alphabetize the words with each cell so that vlookup will work in all cases.
I have a list of print titles and a list of eBook titles. I need to do a lookup ot bring across the ISBN of the print book over to the eBook list so I can compare them. I have already done the standard Trim and vlookup, and the "*"&A2&"*" lookup but there are still about 70 titles I need to find. For instance:
Table 1 A1 = BATMAN STORY BOOK 1 B1 = 9780199134979
Table 2 A1 = BATMAN:BOOK 1 STORY B2 = 9780199135589
Is there a way I can just look up BATMAN from A1 Table 2 so that it returns B1 from Table 1 (the ISBN) in a new cell?
i have group of different set of data represented in Rows, and between each set there is 2 empty rows
i want my macro to go certain column W, where type of data is set, and title these group by placing that name in A column cell, that's just before first Row of set of data
Pool Date Cost Time Type
[Code]...
but please note that number of rows of each data type is variable could be 2, 3, or whatever
i need the Macro to name each set, with SuperMarket, Cloths .. etc
I found the below code and have tried adapting it without success.
Code: Sub Colorize_Word() Dim Found As Range, FirstFound As String Dim FindWhat As String, MyColor As Long, Counter As Integer
MyColor = 3
FindWhat = LCase(InputBox("Find what word?", "Color word"))
[Code] ..........
This code finds any string in a cell of your choice and colors it red. I would really like to replace the string with my own string of text. I couldn't use the simple find and replace function as this replaces the WHOLE cell content not just one word.
I believe the line of code that needs editing most is this one
I want to write a formula to reference a cell and only bring back the first word in that cell (could be 3 or 4 characters). So for the below example it would only bring back DHI. DHI US EQUITY
I am trying to figure out how to not allow a word to be type into a cell. I am relatively new to excel and I am working on a spreadsheet where I do not want the word TOMORROW to be allowed in a cell.
I have a column (10,000+) of customers. Some are schools. i need to know which are schools. if the customer is a school the cell contains the work "school" or "academy" or ""sch". Text-to-column cant work becasue the word could be anywhere in the cell. I need a fast way to do this. is there a simple code to find this and return the result in the adjacent cell?
How do I code VBA to extract the data (text) from a cell at a certain position? For ex., if the cell contains this text: "My Name Is MB" I want to extract the text starting from position 4 so that the result is "Name Is MB"
I have a large list of full names in a column and I want to copy all the first names to a new list again in a column format. Can this be done? ie John Smith will be copied as John.
I have a cell with text in. I need a formula that will remove the characters "Age" from that cell and return the text without thoser characters. eg. Cell A1 = "What is the age we live in?" I need a formula to put in A2 so that it reads:"What is the we live in?"
I have a long list of addresses in excel. I need the postcodes to Georeference them but the addresses are all in one cell (seperate cell for each address). For instance:
Cell A1: My house, Whalley New Road, Lancashire, BB4 9TP
I need to extract the postcode ( zip code) and paste it into a seperate cell. I then need to repeat this for every address. I have had a play around but am not getting far at all. From other questions asked like this they all seem to just want to trim!
