Implementing A Row Which Finds Rows Which Match It
Feb 1, 2008
I'm looking to have a row at the top of a worksheet which I can type in, so that only the rows below which contain that information will show up. For example, say I have the following 3 rows, 2 columns each:
Cat Feet
Cat Head
Dog Feet
I'd like to have an additional row so that if I typed in "Cat" only the "Cat Feet" and "Cat Head" rows would show up. Likewise, if I typed in "Head" in the proper column only ""Cat Head" would show up.
We know how INDEX/MATCH works, and it's very nice. I attached a COUNTIF to it to count how many times the index finds itself on another table; if it doesn't find itself, then it goes blank. However, this time I need to count how many times it finds a certain string condition in the other table.
sampleexcelhelp.xlsx
The columns that need to be filled are shaded in dark pink.
We can clearly see that we have a match in rows 2 and 1 columns A and B, but I am getting #NA. I have sorted the columns A-Z as well. I have also tried formatting the columns different ways and I still get #NA.
I need to conditionally format column B if it finds a match in A.
In Column A I have first names, In column B I have last Names, in column C I have id letters, Column D another list of First Names And In Column E I have another list of Last Names
So what I need to do in F2 is Look at the name Last name in E2 (Lets say its Smith) then look down the Last names In Column B when you find a match look at the First name on the same row to see if the first 3 letters are the same as the first 3 letters in D2 if they are then put the id that's in cell C into F2 if not ""
I've been trying for hours but no luck, also if you do manage to do it can you tell me how you get it to look at the first 3 letters and how I could change that to 4?
Sub do_it() Dim x As Range Set x = Columns(4).F ind("*test*", lookat:=xlWhole) If x Is Nothing Then GoTo 999 r = x.Row Cells(r, 1) = Cells(r, 1) & " (W)" 999 End Sub
I need the above code to continue down column 4 and add the " (W)" to the entire column. The code stop when it finds the first match.
I am working on a data entry sheet time and I am running into a wall. I am trying to code intelligence into sheet so that the user doesn't have to enter as much data.
I am using Excel for Mac, 2011, 14.2.3, But I would like to be able to have others use it on PC and in Excel 97 - 2004
I am developing a time sheet for work. I am trying to have excel generate the work order # for subsequent jobs.
'Daily Entry Sheet'!$H$8:$H$138 = Work Order Number
Following is what I presently have coded.
The following Works but is not completely as I need.
=IF(OR($F8=0,$F8="",ISNA(G8),$H7="Work Order #"),"",IF(ISERROR(INDEX($H7:H$8,MATCH($F8,Prop.,0))),"",INDEX($H7:H$8,MATCH($F8,Prop.,0))))
This works fine in that the match finds the first instance of the work order #. The problem is there may be a later worker order # for the same property which supersedes the old work order. I need to find that last work order number for property # 919 for example, not the first instance, as the index/match returns.
I looked for a function similar to the sumif or countif
=SUMIF(Prop.,$F4,WorkOrdNum)
=SUMIF(Date,"="&$V6,Total_____Hours)
But I don't need to add the work order numbers.
Countif can give me how many instances property # 919 is used,
But I haven't figured out how to use that to It would be ok if the function would return the largest number like the MAX function, best would be to select based upon the latest date.
This is a new question based on another thread that contains a solution that I want to tweak.
That thread implements a row that filters the rows below it based on its inputs. Basically, an 'equals' autofilter, but you can type in the criteria in the cells above the column headers instead of going into the autofilter itself.
Here's what I need: As a variant on that thread, I would like to modify the code to filter on anything that CONTAINS the inputs (not equals).
For example, my Array is A6:K300, with row 6 being column headers, I want Row 5 to essentially be a filter terms row, where I can enter partial phrases in row 5 and have the columns directly beneath them autofilter if the phrase is contained in any of the array rows. If I enter '123' in a cell in row 5, I want the filter results to show '123' and '123R', etc.
I need to be able to make an accurate stopwatch in Excel, I want to be able to time a load of Ice Hockey players doing sprints using a laptop on the ice. Excel is perfect cos I can then have a list of players, and just click the button next to the name for them to start..then stop the time. and the Dt is there loaded.
My ultimate goal would be to then modify the code and have have a hardware circuit connected to the parallel port so that the timing could be donw with an external circuit triggering the stopwatch. I'm lookinf for something accurate to hundredths of a second.
I'm having trouble creating a macro that will look at a single URL, and based on what text is in a cell, replace that name and put it into a specific location in the URL. Then the URL will open and the rest is a macro I've written already. This will then be done as many times as need as long as there is text in the column.
So I'm looking to declare the text in these cells as different variables, then have something call these variables into a specific location in a URL, then have that URL (which is a worksheet location) open up. This is because I have many URL worksheet locations on an external website, I'd like for my macro to look at the cells in column A, check "A2" and whatever that name is, and have it placed into the URL. I assume some type of loop would be useful, since I do not want them to open up all at once, but one by one based on the text or variable in the column. Then the URL will open.
Then I can run my macro code which will include copying and pasting, closing and saving. Then go the next cell, check "A3" then repeat the process. The URL for all the worksheets are all the same, except for one specifc name, which is what im looking to replace one by one.
I have a total line that gets moved down with each additional newly inserted row from a vba macro. I need the total line to sum all rows in column "B" beginning with the row immediately above the total line and continuing to 30 lines above that.
I have this list wherein the rows might extend beyound 100.
At AG23&24 i have some comments
Can i somehow implement such that even when i scroll down teh rows this too will be appearing, as we see sometimes navigation toolbars appearing in websites when we go down or move up.
I want to know if this feature can be implemented in excel.
I have the following code in a macro to open up a find dialog box, but it does not seem to work. I am getting the following message when I try to find something:
Microsoft Office Excel cannot find any data to replace. Check if your search formatting and criteria are defined correctly. If you are sure that matching data exist in this workbook, it may be on a protected sheet. Excel cannot replace data on a protected sheet.
I checked the data I am trying to find and replace and it is correct.
I am very new withe macro I recieve every day a CSV file from our supplier withe a list of the products that got updated withe new price, stock count, product ID etc.
I have my own worksheet with the product ID that we use, and I want to finde the exact match to my product ID in that CSV file and delete all other that don't match.
But i need them get deletede by rows thos product ID that dosen't match to my workbook.
I tried with this, so it could set an X in front of my match then i could filter and copy it to my workbook but it dosen't work: Because the same product ID is sometime in 100 rows and the X come only in front of one of them.
=IF(ISNA(MATCH(Q2:Q1000;G$2:G$1000;0));"";"X")
so with some macro. I need to have every row deleted that don't match to my list of product ID.
I have 2 worksheets named sheet1 and need_to_delete that are in the same format: 7 digit number, 5 digit alpha numeric, text, dollar amount. I need to copy every row into sheet2 where there are no matches in the column A of the two source worksheets, and copy every row that does have a match in column A into sheet 3. I also need to keep the rows in their current order.
I'm practicing my VBA and can't get this practice code to work, the syntax looks good but all it does is set the current cell to 23. and I want it to keep going up the column until it find a cell with any value and then change it to say 23. if the value is empty it should keep going up.
Sub chngevalue()
If ActiveCell.Value Is Nothing Then
ActiveCell.Offset(-1, 0).Select Else ActiveCell = 23 End If
End Sub
I did check the internet and my reference books and wasn't able to find a clear reason.
deletes a row if it finds a specified value in a specified column (in this instance, "NB" in column E). However, it is very slow and some end users are complaining about the amount of time it takes to run. Here's what I'm using at the moment:
I have a macro that needs to walk down a list of values and when it finds breaks in the values, it will insert a formula for a calculation. The problem I'm having is getting the code to loop correctly until it finally finds the value "End" when it should stop (when I play around with the code, sometimes I can get it to continue the loop, but it blows past "End" and then it experiences an error because it can't end.
Sheets("Master").Select Range("B1").Select ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select AssetIDStartRange = ActiveCell.Address X = 0 Do ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select X = X + 1 Loop Until ActiveCell.Value "" SortCriteriaName = ActiveCell.Value ActiveCell.Offset(-1, 1).Select ActiveCell.Formula = "=SUMIF($B13:$B5000," & """" & SortCriteriaName & """" & ",$H$13:$H$5000)" ActiveCell.Offset(0, -1).Select
If ActiveCell.Value "End" Then....................
I'm tying to finds the most recent X or O. Then takes the price on that day and compares it to the current price and based on the difference either higher or lower puts out an X if the current price is higher and an O if the current price is lower by the Half StartData - however when i get to about 6 IF statement it freeze up and it wont give me the X or O's ...
I'm trying to get a count of the number of workbooks in a directory and it keeps returning 0 when there are three WBs in the directory. What am I doing wrong? Here is my code.
With Application.FileSearch .LookIn = "C:Documents and Settingsdt64864DesktopTesting" .Filename = "*.xls" .FileType = msoFileTypeExcelWorkbooks .Execute MsgBox (.FoundFiles.Count) End With
On Error GoTo importError For Each b In Range("names") If b = FILE.Sheets("Sheet2").Range("e3") Then ThisWorkbook.Activate ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet2").Select b.Row.Value = n For Each c In Range("dates") If c = FILE.Sheets("Sheet2").Range("e5") Then ThisWorkbook.Activate ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet2").Select c.Column.Value = m ActiveCell = nm Set Targ = ActiveCell Targ = system Targ = FILE.Sheets("Sheet2").Range("e20")
End If Next
It doesnt work, it gets to b.row.value and throws up an error, i realise im using the wrong code but I dont know enough vba script to resolve the issue
I have a timesheet and a data base spreadsheet, the db spreadsheet opens the timesheet (many, one after another) and I want it to look for each name in the db and if the name cell on the timesheet it has open matches then i want it to remember the row value (on the db), then look through the dates in the db until it finds the matching date to the one in the timesheet, i want it to store this column value (in the db) so I can concat the row and column to get the activecell where I will be putting the total hours (a single cell reference) from the timesheets into the db.
I'm simply trying to search a directory for .xls files and count them. I have previously used the following code successfully to do so, but for some reason it has recently stopped working. Debugging shows .FileSearch.Count() = 0 after every search. I have atleast half a dozen .xls files in the "Reports" folder relative to the active workbook.
I need to add a space in front of a string of numbers/letters, but it still doesn't seem to match what's in the lookup range. Granted, i get the lookup range from HQ, so there may be a formatting issue.
I need a piece of VBA code to assign to an Excel form that determines the maximum value of a subset of one column whose cognate rows in an adjoining column satisfy a particular value.
I am trying to make a macro, but because of my inexperience, it's not working out. I have got a big list (list 1) of numbers in column E. each number has some information in the cells of columns C, D and L, all in the same row. on the same sheet, I have got another, smaller set of numbers (list 2), also in column E but at the bottom of the sheet. the numbers in list 2 are all present in list 1 (but not all numbers in list 1 are present in list 2). the columns C, D and L on the same row of the numbers in list 2 are empty...............
The following sub will look in the file ("FY09 SOF"), in column "A", search for the strings that begin with "2109", "3009", or ends in "-1", and copy the entire row. It will then paste these in the file ("FY09 PR Log Blank").
I also need it to look in column "C" in the ("FY09 SOF") file and pull the entire row if it finds the word "Payroll".
For some reason it will pull everything needed except the "Payroll" rows. What am I doing wrong?
Sub get_data() Dim wb As Workbook, wbDest As Workbook Dim ws As Worksheet, wsDest As Worksheet Dim lngCalc As Long Dim FoundCells As Range Dim FoundCell As Range
Set wb = Workbooks("FY09 SOF") Set wbDest = Workbooks("FY09 PR Log Blank") Set wsDest = wbDest.Worksheets("Paste all here, then sort")
With Application .ScreenUpdating = False..........................
The following bit of code has worked for me but when it goes back for the next b it still finds the address as $j$13. This address does match the criteria I want but what I want the programme to do is move to the next address matching the criteria in the range...
I have a Macro that finds in Column F duplicates and adds an Alpha Character (A-Z) to the last right position in the filed.(1-12 Alpha/Numeric) .
It's set to check all rows until a specific number of rows are reached. The current code does this until intCount and intRow equals 1500. The number of rows vary in each file.
