Include/Exclude Specific Instring Characters From A Querry Search
Dec 18, 2009
I have a querry- file search application macro which searches all directories and subdirectories found within the provided string path and brings in specific data from spreadsheets in those directories. I would like to have the ability to exclude some of the subdirectories which are currently being querried.
I'm wondering if it is possible to add additional code that will allow me to either include or exclude specific directories being querried.
Here's an excerpt of the ....

I want to search a string for specific characters.
f.e. Begin = "bfPaa2"
I want to look for "P"
So, the answer has to be: Letter = "P" after searching the string

I have a column of values of peoples initials and I want to cound how many times one persons initials occur in those cells. I can do this if the cells just contain one person i.e. "CH" or "DH" but if the cell has two or more peoples initials i.e. "CD DH" I can't do it as it only matches the exact search criteria.
How can I total the numebr of times a required set of initials appears in a specific column of cells? Not bothered is it requires a macro or a formulae, just can't seem to figure this one out.

Say I have the following:
Cell A1: male
Cell A2: male
Cell A3: female
Cell A4: male
I want to conduct a search using the value in cell B1, and return the row numbers for which the value in B1 exists.
So my formula in C1 is:
=small(if(isnumber(search($B$1, $A$1:$A$A4)), row($A$1:$A$A4)), row(1:1))
and I make it an array by CTRL+SHIFT+enter
So in B1 I type "male" (without the quotes). From C1 to C4 the values populate as 1,2,3,4
However, I only want the rows where "male" exists, in other words, i want an exact match and I want to exclude those cells that have "female"
I'm wanting:
C1 = 1
C2 = 2
C3 = 4
C4 = blank
Is there a way to do this?

By typing either first letter or first two letters in cell A2 the list box should bring up matching street names. Also listbox should manually allow to select required street name by scrolling down.

I have a SUMIFS function written that reads where some of my budget is coming from. I track several different departments but am only responsible for some of the departments' budgets. So i need to exclude two of the departments when the SUMIFS is reading the other parameters from my list.
From the example i attached, how would i go about writing the formula in I3 to skip the Cost if it comes from Dep 2 and Dep 4?

I have a column that contains combined data of numbers and letters. I want to filter that column to exclude cells that contain the letter "d" or "f". I am trying to create a pivot table from the results of the filter to only display the ID #s that do not contain the letters "f" or "d".
The data inside the fields is not the same length and is not listed in a particular order. I have over 14,000 records I need to filter.
Data set example: The items in red are an example of the cells I would like to exclude from my worksheet. Is there a way to filter without deleting the data?

I have the code to send a email based on the due date. The email will include the Due date for the purpose below of today 1/14/08 in the message. I cannot figure out how to use Offset in the email message portion to include
The Last and First names along with the Exp Date in the respective column.
Example below: row 3--due date shows up in email message, what would the Offset code be to include Grimm, Paul, Exp Date3, 1/14/08 in the message?
Then the same for row 2, the due date 1/14/08 which the Offset information would be different than line 3?
Since the due date can be in various places how do i still get the Last First and Exp Date"x" included in the message of the email? ....

Currently I am using the Kickbutt VBA Find Function of Aaron, but I would like to have something that works more efficiently. What I currently do is (assuming all possible values for Column J are A - F):
Find_Range("A", Columns("J"), MatchCase:=True).EntireRow.Delete
Find_Range("B", Columns("J"), MatchCase:=True).EntireRow.Delete
Find_Range("C", Columns("J"), MatchCase:=True).EntireRow.Delete
Find_Range("D", Columns("J"), MatchCase:=True).EntireRow.Delete
Find_Range("E", Columns("J"), MatchCase:=True).EntireRow.Delete
although I just want some code that says: delete all rows except those that have "F" as content in Column J. I already tried something like:
Range("1:65536").Select
For Each cl In Range("J:J")
If cl.Text = "A" Or cl.Text = "B" Or cl.Text = "C" Or cl.Text = "D" Or cl.Text = "E" Then
Rows(cl.Row).Delete
End If
Next
but it also takes much to long. The major problem I think, is that the number of records is variable so I search the entire worksheet...

I'm using excel 2010 on a pc. I need to create a calender. So far I have been using the tutorial for the pop up calender. The result I'm looking for is to set up a specific time frame and have the calender provide the "due" date. I would like the due date to exclude weekends and holidays. Would I be able to do this with the pop up calender?

In order for me to create a filter list on my worksheet, I'm having to first delete
a querry report that's being stored/generated from the data being imported into my
workbook. Due to Run-Time Error'1004
A list cannot overlap a range that contains a pivotTable report,query results,protected cells or another list.
Initially, I only had 1 ActiveSheet.QueryTable to delete ("IN Stock Status Report - 6896_12"), but this also changed when I ran on another PC under someone else's account.

I need the values that are copied from the template to copy over in text form from the "Data" Tab. Secondly, the master sheet has multiple lines for each vendor. For the area highlighted in red I'd like for it to copy all cells in column C for the vendor and search the vendor by name. Then, move to the next sheet.

I have a sheet A1:R456 provided from an outside source, with many large text entries. In some of them appear various ascii strings such as, but not exclusively: •
It appears these have replaced apostrophe's, dashes, and other types of punctuation and formatting (bullets, etc).
I have used the Find (Ctrl-F) to locate some, but it only works if you know what you're looking for. According to Excel HELP! :o Clean() only strips the lower 32 ascii codes, and I'm pretty sure these are at the high end of the ascii chart.
I don't want to remove them, I want to replace them, but I'm not sure if it should be an apostrophe, a dash, or whatever. So I'd be happy to find them and I'll fix it as best I can.
Any VBA code to locate all cells in a range that contain any high-order ascii (say above 127) and fill with yellow?

I have a worksheet that I produced from optical character recognition, and there are a lot of funky characters that I need to get rid of. One is a line break or carraige return (I assume it's the same character that I could insert by entering ALT+ENTER). How do I search for this special character to replace it? How do I identify what that invisible character is?

I have about 700 cells I want to interrogate. Within each cell the following text appears “Estimate – BOLB/02/1234 – Some more text here”. I want to search all the cells and delete the cell contents but leave the “BOLB/02/1234”.
The problem I have is that the string is different in each cell but the format is the same. It always starts with BOLB followed by /, followed by 2 numbers, followed by / followed by 4 numbers i.e. BOLB/**/****.

I have a worksheet with a list of ID Numbers:
for example:
A1001
A1002
A1003
:
etc,
I purchased the book from Mr.Excel and got it last week called VBA and Macros for Microsoft Excel. I can't seem to find the code for macros to search through the cells and then either change the cell colour to highlight the cells that contains an alphabetical character. I am trying to remove all the characters in the cells so only the numbers are left over.

I have done a search on carriage returns/characters and what has been suggested is not working. I have BOTH carriage returns in the cell and also the boxes (that I assume are also carriage returns. I tried the substitute formula (=substitute(cellref,char(10),)) in excel but it only removes the alt+enter carriage return. I tried the various suggestions of find & replace but the chr$..etc did not work! Is there a formula to clear both in one (not a macro!)..?

I have a sheet with Names in it. I need to look those names up and find which org they belong to. The problem is the the names have many characters after them, and many names belong to a few orgs, with a the rest belonging to many orgs. (See below)
I have been trying to get a Vlookup to work, but since it can't go left, it won't look up the orgs that don't own at least three names. And I can't get the search to work on the names.
Names:

Is there a way to force Excel to look at only the first characters in a field when searching?
If I use:
MySearch = Range("C3").Value
Cells.Find(What:=MySearch, After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt _
:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:= _
False, SearchFormat:=False).Activate
It will find any instance of the characters entered in C3; however, I want it to find only fields that START with those characters. E.g. if I enter TRA in the search box it will come up with CITRATE when I want TRACLEER, etc.

I need a formula that determines the average of numbers based on specific cells.
For instance:
COLUMN A COLUMN B
John Doe 1.48
Jane X 2.89
John Doe 1.89
Jane X 5.98
Michelle Doe 5
Claire Doe 3
Jane X 0
What formula can I use to give me the average of "Jane X" not taking into consideration the one with the 0 Value?

I have cell A1 and it has the following data "-110 or -99%".
I want a formula that will pick up the percentage numbers only, IE -99%. Please keep in mind that the percentages change.
It can be 10000%, 0%, -500000% etc.
Can there be a formula that will pick up whatever is before or from the right?

I need a formula which can clean up a huge data set. Essentially i need to delete the entire word which contains the characters "aceae". note that "aceae" is a suffix, but i need to delete the entire word not just the suffix, plus keep the rest of the string. i have tried the "find and replace" function of excel with wildcard, but that deletes everything before/after without deleting the entire word. i have tried a combination of formulas to isolate the unwanted words, but that method is inefficient and inaccurate. below is a schematic of what im looking to do:
Column A ------------------------------ Column B
l. planeri asteraceae africa laselva-----> l. planeri africa laselva
l. planeri moraceae europe singer------> l. planeri europe singer
origin l. fluviatilis bignoniaceae asia----> origin l. fluviatilis asia
alternate l. fluviatilis piperaceae asia---> alternate l. fluviatilis asia

I need to ensure that the client names entered don't contain certain banned characters (* / : ? [ ]) as the name entered will be used later to create a file name. This is what I have written (in the Worksheet_Change event):
If Target.Column = 1 Then
If Target.Value 0 And Target.Value "" Then
Dim intFound as Integer, ranFound as Range, i as Integer
Application.EnableEvents = False
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
intFound = 0
For i = 42 To 93
Set ranFound = Target.Find(Chr$(i), LookIn:=xlValues, lookat:=xlPart)
If Not ranFound Is Nothing Then
Select Case i..........................
Which is all very well, but it treats character 42 (*) and character 63 (?) as wildcards and even good client names are rejected. How do I search the entry to find if there is an actual * or ? in the target.value?
