Jump To Names Based On Alphabet Letter

Mar 20, 2009

I have a long list of names and right now I have to scroll down the list like crazy to get to some of the letters (xyz for example).

I really wanted to setup a clickable row or column that has one letter in each row or column, but I'm not sure I can do that as the sheet is already formatted. But I could just use one cell where I could click in it and type a letter which would jump me to the portion of the list that starts with that letter.

or I guess maybe something that pops up a requestor for me to enter the letter.

I found some stuff that was close on here that had some of the functionality I needed, but I couldn't piece it together.

I'm trying to go through David's books, but I haven't had a lot of time and I'm not getting some of the basics.

Randomly Select From Alphabet Based On Letter Frequency Distribution

Jan 8, 2008

I want to randomly select letters from this distribution (to make random words) but I want the more frequent letters in the distribution to be selected more often so that the word I form have the same distribution. I have the feeling there is a simple solution to this but I couldn't see anything other than the frequency function that I thought I might be able to use. I could populate an array with letters present in numbers according to their frequency and then randomly select from it but is there a more elegant solution? .......

Create Dropdown That Will List All Names Starting With Initial Letter Of Names?

Jan 13, 2014

I have a long customer listing, names 5 to 36 characters and several with their location in the name as well as a few common duplicate names. I am trying to produce sheet where the customers name once selected opens in the customers spreadsheet and data can be added/amended for sales etc.The lists are not in alphabetical order as when created a customer number is automatically allocated. My aim is just to type in the first letter of the name and the dropdown appears the customer is selected and their card appears. I have tried data validation, lookup, vlookup, Dropdown and Match/find. they only return the first record found and no sign of any others. Find returned all instances of the letter appearing in every name.

Return Column Letter Based On The Letter In A Cell.

Dec 31, 2009

For the below formula is it possible to replace the B's (column location) with a cell Say Z146 which contains the letter B (or a number if thats easier and someone can tell me the numbers for each column).

When the formula is dragged into the next cell (down) it takes its column reference from Z147 and then my life becomes so much easier.

=IF(INDEX('Overs-Unders'!B:B,MATCH($C145,'Overs-Unders'!$A:$A,0))"",INDEX('Overs-Unders'!B:B,MATCH($C145,'Overs-Unders'!$A:$A,0)),"")

Get Column Alphabet Based On Data It Contains Or Column Heading Using VBA?

Oct 28, 2011

How to get the Column Alphabet based on the Data it contains or the Column Heading using VBA?

Is it possible to get the Column Alphabet using any Macro or any function that within a Module it can always take the New Column Name during Execution..

Example: I have certain Columns where I have Yes and No Tick using the Wingdings P and Y..
Now these Columns are alternately Placed and there are six columns in all and they are spread over 12 Columns as the Alternate COlumns is reserved for Manual Entries.

Now I intend to increase the Manual Entry Columns but the problem is that every time I do that I need to make changes in my VBA Code.

Is it possible that even when the Columns are Inserted or Deleted in between before or after these columns I dont need to change the Explicit references by changing some approach.

I am not fuly conversant in VBA but use it whenever things are not completely feasible with Formulas AFTER GOOGLING.

Code:

Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("X3:X13")) Is Nothing Then ' You can Change the range here
Cancel = True

[Code]....

As you can see the Ranges are Alternately Placed and there are about 6 such Columns with the above TICKS..

Now, how do I keep it FLoating so that even after changing the COlumn Location it does not need to get Updated i.e. X and Z Column Alphabets..

Assign Folder Based On First Letter Of Name

Jan 2, 2014

I have a routine that looks a variable's first letter and then assigns it to a specific folder. I have tried using just the first letter (firstletter) and the ASCII value of the first letter but neither seem to work - see below.

firstletter = Left(rng.Value, 1)
iletter = Asc(firstletter)
MsgBox iletter
If iletter < 71 Then cmfolder = "CM A-F" Else
If iletter > 70 And iletter < 77 Then cmfolder = "CM G - L" Else
If iletter > 76 And iletter < 83 Then cmfolder = "CM M - R" Else cmfolder = "CM S - Z"
MsgBox cmfolder

Returning The Column Letter Based On A Search

Select Valid Entries Based On Letter Entered

May 26, 2009

I tried to search the forum with the above title but keep getting a fatal error.
My worksheet contains a data entry column that is verified against a named range entitled "Categories". If you click on the down arrow, it displays all the valid entries. What I'd like to do is enter in the field the first letter of the entry and display only those valid entries that start with the letter I entered. For example, if I entered "c", the validation screen would display:

Car Insurance
Car Payment
Car Repair/Tires
Charity
Chase Mortgage
Church
Cleaning Supplies
Cleaning/Laundry
Contact Lens
Cosmetics

Then, if I entered "ch", the validation screen would display:

Charity
Chase Mortgage
Church

Trying To Create A List From A Database Based On A Letter Placed In 1 Cell

Jul 15, 2009

Its really hard to explain. See the attached.. Basically I have kind of a database of Letters and each letter has several codes associated with it, although each letter is different (a few are the same but that's irrelevant), e.g. letter E means you need to use codes 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.9, and 3.10. That information is stored elsewhere. I simply want a user to be able to put that letter into this box and next to it these codes will populate.

Change Target To Full Text Based On Letter

Jan 10, 2008

how to allow both these codes to work on say sheet 1. I can get one to work just fine. So, any tips on how to get them both to work on the same sheet would be great.

Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()

End Sub

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel. Range)
With Worksheets("Sheet1")
If Not Application.Intersect(Target, .Range("n1:n200")) Is Nothing Then
If Target = "S" Or Target = "s" Then Target = "Submitted"
If Target = "A" Or Target = "a" Then Target = "Approved"
If Target = "I" Or Target = "i" Then Target = "Investgating"
Else
End If
End With
End Sub

and this,.............

UserForm Combobox Wild Search Filter Based On First Letter Entry

Jun 18, 2014

I am looking to modify my combobox from a userform to Filter the list based on the first entry on what the user will add.

I have a code that will search for all entries in my "Control" sheet and passed this on to my combobox:

[Code] ......

I have, within a module, the following function code that the user find the entry by adding the first 3 letters of the search they need:

[Code] .....

I would like to know what to change in the function to filter the list, once the user adds a first letter and then press the dropdown from the combobox, to filter the list based on all entries from the first letter to only show entries with that letter.

If A is entered, then, show only the entries strating with the starting letter A, but at the same time if the user adds more letter to filter to the first then second letter:

If AB is inserted, then, show entries with AB only.

Where do I add this code also, is this another function or this could be inserted within my function?
