Conduct A Search With Internet Explorer..

Dec 14, 2009

I am not sure if this can be done but I couldn't find it in the forum. I need a macro which will open a web page and on that page fill a search box with a value from cell A2 and click the search button. The macro I have now opens the webpage. I need the rest. The search box is like the one on google homepage, I mean when the webpage is opened, the cursor is automatically inside the search box.

Search For Cell Contents And Paste?

Aug 20, 2013

I have a large sheet (approx 4k rows) and need to verify the contents of each cell by taking the name and searching for it in another workbook. I then need to copy over the cell contents found under certain columns in the secondary book and paste them into appropriate columns (row where search name was found).

Ex. I search for Apple and find 6 instances of Apple in the second book. I then take the contents of the cells found under columns Make, Model, Year (all from the row that showed the results as apple) and paste that into the same-named column in the first book.

I have been doing this manually but it takes too much time.

Replacing Contents Of A Cell With Another Based On Search Result?

Feb 24, 2014

My current problem is that I need to search two tabs of data and use the results to modify the contents of one cell in the first tab.

I'll try to be as clear as possible:

tab1 has relevant cells "a" and "b", same row

tab2 has 3 relevant cells "c", "d", and "e", all on the same row

All cells are text values - some digits, but should be treated as a regular String.

The search needs to look at cells "a" and "b", find their match in "c" and "d", then replace the original value of "b" with the value in "e" after a match has been found.

Search Across Columns By Row & Replace Specific Cell Contents

May 2, 2008

I have created a desk planning spreadsheet in excel. Each week a mailmerge sends out an email to everyone in the office asking them to confirm when they will need a desk in the next week.

As the normal employee doesnt get involved in desk planning I want them simply to state whether they will be in the building or not by entering "GH" (our building) in a cell under each day in the email they get sent.

When the reply comes in we select the cells from the email and then paste them into the desk planning spreadsheet.
-----

WHAT I NEED TO DO:
Select some cells (must be in the same row - that we have just pasted in).
Press a button on the Worksheet labelled "Auto Assign Desk", which does this:-
For each cell that contains "GH", replace with the right-most cell to the left of the selection that starts "GH_"... (this is the start of a unique desk reference (GH_1_1, GH_1_2,etc.)
-----

This will assign the employee to the desk they were sat at last, when they are in the office next week.

Search For Text Within Cell Then Return Contents Of That Cell?

Jun 19, 2014

So right now I have a spreadsheet that looks something like this:

A
B
C
D

[Code]....

As you can see, the stock names are slightly different in columns A & C (CORP. vs CORP, CO vs CO., etc). I need a formula in column D that searches column A for the first word in column C, and then retrieves the contents of that cell. I want to do this because I will then use a vlookup in column E to get the ticker for the stock.

Right now I have: =IF(ISERROR(SEARCH(LEFT(C1,FIND(" ",C1)),A:A,1)),A:A,"")

This formula searches column A for EXXON, but does not return the contents of the cell. Instead, it returns the contents of a different cell in the column.

Find Function Where Search Criteria Isn't Exact Match For Cell Contents

Dec 19, 2011

I am new to VBA and am having difficulties in getting a find function to successfully locate search criteria within cell. When the search criteria matches exactly that of the cell contents then the code works; however should the search criteria only form part of the total cell contents (such as a seach for "the" in a cell containing "the cat sat on the mat") the code doesn't recognise it.

Essentially, I need the code to search a range for the required string and if found within a cell activate that cell and populate a combobox with the full cell contents of the activecell.offset(0,-2).

The relevant section of code attached below:

Dim role_count as range
Dim role as string

If Application.WorksheetFunction.CountIf(Range("Role_Count"), Role) 0 Then
Range("role_count").Select
Selection.Find(What:=Role, After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt:= _
xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:=False _
, SearchFormat:=False).Activate

Me.Controls(ComboBoxName) = ActiveCell.Offset(0, -2).Value

Text Search Returns Cell Text Contents Of Different Column In The Same Row

Jun 7, 2007

Search a worksheet for a user defined text string, and have excell return the contents of a predetermined column in the same row in which the text string was found.

A prepopulated worksheet has the text "gold" entered in cell T278.

1. user searches for "yellow_metal"
2. Excell finds "yellow_metal" in row 278, say in cell A278.
3. Excell then goes to predetermined column (programed as part of macro or VB), say "T", and returns the text contents of the cell in that column, T278 in this example.
4. Excell returns "gold"

How To Navigate In Internet Explorer With Macro

Every day I gotta enter information in my work's website (intranet), however I dont know that much about manipulate with VBA the Internet Explorer application, for example once I enter information in the website, I gotta enter an ID after that I gotta select the date, then I gotta give some clicks in some checkboxes, then I copy some information from excel and enter that information in the navigator, and finally click on save. The thing is that I do not have access to that website in my home so is impossible for me to provide you with the link... what kind of codes do I need to do it, or where can I find a manual where I can learn to manipulate another application like the Internet explorer with VBA.

Internet Explorer With Iframes Automation Macro

Mar 15, 2013

How to have a macro bring up a website (an internal document website) locate the correct frame uncheck a box, fill in a field with a cell value (from A2) click submit, jump to the next frame within the same website and click a link. my main problem is it looks as though there are nested frames and iframes which im not familiar with. since the website is internal and you wont be able to access it, i have taken snips of the website itself, along with snips of the html and posted them to photobucket. [URL] .......... if you look at the snip of the website the fields i need to be referenced or filled are...

in the frame "frameSearchCriteria" (which i believe is itself within an iframe)
"My Loans Only" box unchecked (html name is "xMyContainers")
"Loan Number" field filled with cell A2 (html name is "xObjectSearchValue")
"Search" button clicked (html ID is "xSearchSubmit")
after these steps have been taken it would then jump to the next frame "frameSearchResults"
and would click the row (html name is "xRowClickAction")

I realize this would be difficult without access to the site, however the posted html and a snip of the website. heres two versions of code i have so far.

Code:
Public Sub IE_Automation()
Dim baseURL As String
Dim IE As InternetExplorer
Dim HTMLDoc As HTMLDocument
Dim mainFrame As HTMLIFrame
[Code] ....

Code:
Sub Xdoc()

Dim oIE As InternetExplorer
Dim HTMLDoc As HTMLDocument
Dim frmCol As FramesCollection
Dim HTMLFrame As HTMLDocument
Dim htmlColl As Object
Dim htmlInput As Object

Macro To Enumerate Cell Contents

Oct 21, 2006

I have attched a spreadsheet to try to illustrate that task I am trying to complete.
In the original data "HANDSET MODEL" in cell D3 contains 3 handset models separated by underscores. I would like to enumerate these so that each handset model has its own row(the underscores will not be needed in the final version). All other data in that row stays the same(cells A3,B3,C3,E3)

Once this has been done I need the macro to move down to the next row and enumerate the handsets in cell D4, on this occassion thare are four handset and the number will vary from row to row. The macro would need to be able to cope with a variable number of rows for the original data and variable amount of handsets in the D column.

Copy Based On Cell Contents Macro

May 13, 2013

Basically lets say I have in cell A1 to A10 floor access data i.e. Users who used their ID cards to access a room.

Now the data always starts with either Rejected or Admitted then the user's name and then the card number and the access floor etc. the card currently has.

What I am looking for is that the macro should first check if the cell has Rejected or Admitted written in it - this I can do myself using =Left(A1,8) which should give me the helper column I need.

Then based on this I want it to only copy the name of the individual i.e. it should look in the cell and only copy whatever is written between "Rejected" and "(Card". The cell data is something like this:

Rejected Doe, John (Card #123456) at ABC 123 Floor1/Floor2/Floor3/Floor4 Door 1 [In] [Clearance]

Allow User To Edit Cell Contents Within Macro

Feb 4, 2014

I need to query a column and find the cells that have been incorrectly coded. For example the coding standard is #<reference number>/. Sometimes people forget the "/". It is not as easy as using search and replace because the string may have more contents than the above.

For example it may show: ATM/45678/#789876 dt. 1-2-14/ or it something like CHQ/44384/#78987600.

There are many permutations. So I need to find the cells that don't have a "/" following the #<reference number>, then allow a user to enter the slash. At this stage, I don't need code to find cells containing errors, I think I can figure that out. I do need to know how to allow the user to edit the cell as part of the macro. Once the user corrects the error, the macro should then continue. Is this possible?

Macro Will Not Run Find And Replace With The Contents Of A Cell

Apr 3, 2007

I want to have a macro that will look at a few cells say A1 & A2 and then use the contents of the cells say 1Q07 & 2Q07 respectively to do a find and replace find 1Q07 and replace it with 2Q07. I want it to use the contents of the cell and not just the text because the contents of the cell will change each time used. I tride to do it here but I dont have it yet. It doesnt seem to pass the value to the variable and the variable doesnt seem to do the find and replace.

Private Sub Update_Click()

Application. ScreenUpdating = False
Dim quarter As String
quarter = CStr(txtquarter.Text)
txtquarter.Text = CStr(quarter)

Sheets("Income Statement").Select
Dim oneq As Single
Dim twoq As Single
Dim threeq As Single
Dim fourq As Single
Dim fiveq As Single

oneq = ActiveSheet.Range("A2").Value
twoq = oneq - 1
threeq = twoq - 1
fourq = oneq - 4
fiveq = oneq - 5

Macro Rename Excel Files Based On Cell Contents?

Jun 23, 2014

Can a macro rename Excel files based on a cell's contents? The problem maybe that I download these files en masse from a website and they all have 54-character long randomly generated filenames which I can rename by selecting all and then use the rename function to get a series of filenames like a, a(2), a(3), ... but I would rather have the files renamed based on the text that exists in cell B1 which is the title of the report. I also read somewhere that this kind of macro only works if the tabs have names like "Sheet 1"

Code To Lookup A Cell Value On The Internet

Sep 9, 2008

I have a long list of movies and I would like a generic code that grabs the content of a cell and places it in the search box on IMDB, and presses enter. I am thinking that I can apply this same code to a bunch of different websites (wikipedia or google for example)

That way, I can put a couple of buttons on a sheet or toolbar and use them to look up a cell value on the web. I don't program in VBA other than some low level copying and modifying code but this seems like it could be reasonably done.
