Limit The Dynamic Range Of Find And Replace
Jul 7, 2009I'd like to Find and replace blank cells in columns O and P, with the word "BLANK CELL" but only = to lowest data row in col D and then stop.

View 2 RepliesIs there a way in which you can use two cells (a2 & b2 for example) with a button to trigger a macro which will search for a2 and replace with b2 over a certain range of cells? unless there is a function to do it of course, which i would prefer!!

The problem is that the sheet that contains the target cell hosts a very sizable used range and the FIND function can sometimes take almost a minute before finding and focussing on the required cell.
While I do not believe that a search range below that of sheet level for the FIND() function is possible, the cell that I am looking to jump to resides in a one-column, sorted, dynamic named range (=Bookings!JobID) on the target sheet, so I am sure that it must be possible to find and go the target cell in a much quicker timeframe than that being delivered at the moment. Just can't find something suitable at the moment.
How to find and replace a range of values. I've looked online, and searched the forum with no success.
I have a list of cells in a column labled "Check #1", "Check #2", "Check #3" ect. I'm trying to build a Macro that would replace any value from "Check #1" to "Check #50,000" with "Outgoing Check". I know this can be done manually with relative ease, but it will need to be done very very very often, so I'd like to automatic it as much as possible.
How to put the steps into a Macro or Formula that could be re-produced with ease.
I am looking to Find and Replace (via ctr-F) but I need to replace it only within a range of selected cells. Each time I try to do this it replaces everything even though I have tried selecting each cell and replacing only that. Is there a way to select a certain amount of cells and replace?
View 2 Replies View Relatedsay that i have alist of data in "A2:A", which are a string file (text) and i want to rename each data to a certain name that defined in range "B1:B2" (String file too).
For Example: for range
C2 = S16e
C3 = 16/E
C4 = 18W
C5 = Site18 w
& The target name is to be:
B1=16E
B2=18W
For case above, i need to replace C2&C3 in to 16E, while C4&C5 to be 18W.
I am trying to find a way to automatically find and replace 2 letter symbols in a specific column into the words they represent. There are many symbols and rather than do a find and replace for each symbol, I would like to write a macro that would do them all at once.
I would like to be able to replace all cell values in a range of 20c by 20r (i.e. 400 cells). In all cases the condition would be the same (find all cells with a value greater than than zero), but then replace with different values.
e.g. Cells with value >0 in range CX119:DQ138 replace with "NT", then cells with value of >0 in range DR119:EK138 replace with "NU"
I thought you could do it with find and replace by just selecting that range of cells but can't see how to set the conditional >0 bit.
I have Excel 2013. I would like to use the code below but I need it to let me select the range instead of specifying it in the code, then pop up a form into which I can fill in what I want it to search and what I need it replaced with.

I have an worksheet that I import a csv into, each day a new csv is added to the bottom of the previous csv data. I have some code that extracts the date and month # from the cell and places them in helper columns. The code find the last used cell in the helper column and the imported data column to find the first and last row of the new day.
This part works fine. However, I assigned a variable name to the first and last variables and would like to uses these row number to define a range in order to use the range for a vlookup or find operation. This is where I get stuck. I want to use column x and row (variable from first bit of code) to column y and row (variable from first bit of code). Then use a vlookup/find whatever works to find the text I need and get the data. Tips on looping the code would be welcome as well.
I have searched for answers to the problem, on the board and web, but have not found a solution that works for me. (at least that I could get to work!!)
Below is the code as I have it
Public Sub Enter_Date()
Dim DateA As Date
Dim DateB As Date
Dim Cnt As Integer
Dim End_of, Beg_of As Integer
Dim Count As Integer
Dim NumtoFill As Integer
This problem has come up fairly frequently lately, and I'm not sure how to fix it, or if this is by design...but in Excel 2003 I can't seem to do a "Find and Replace" based on the value of a cell. I can do a find, based on cell value, but the moment I change to the replace tab, the "values" and "comments" are missing from the "look in" dropdown.
I've only noticed this when I'm trying to replace on a filtered list, so I'm not sure if that is part of the issue.
Perhaps an alternative way of arriving at the same goal. Basically I have a worksheet with a number of filtered columns. They are filtered just right, using custom filtering, and so I do not want to undo the filters. In some columns I have formulas that are returning #VALUE! errors. I'd like to replace all of these cells with NA.
I recently became owner of a spreadsheet with some issues, and I am trying to make it useful. Each row has a URL of a blog post, and I want to extract the date from it (which is present in each URL) while getting rid of the rest of the URL. I was able to get rid of everything up to the year (which comes first), but then the URL continues, for example, 2013/05/16/the-rest-of-the-url/ and I would like to just have 2013/05/16 remain.
I am trying to use find and replace with the find box reading 2013/??/??/*/ and replacing it with 2013/??/?? which effectively erases everything else in the url, but leaves ?? instead of the numbers. Is there any way to have it so that it keeps whatever was in the original box?

Trying to repeat a 550 or so character statement with a find/replace however I am getting type mismatch errors. When I use a smaller message in the "replace" it works.
I need it to post a message exactly as long as what I have in there. How do I get it to work?
Need assistance with the code for catching errors when using the find / replace function in excel? In particular, I am trying to write code to break to an error message when the value or string searched for isn't found in the find / replace. At the minute I have just copied the standard code using a macro and all this does is return a message box saying X entries replaced.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a macro where it finds a a certain word in a column for example C. What i want it to do is find anything that says FWD_EUR and then replace that cell (e.g C2) with CASH_EUR_FWD and after it has done that it replaces the adjacent cell (e.g. D2) with EUR_FWD. I then want this to do the same with FWD_USD to CASH_USD_FWD and adjacent cell to USD_FWD.

I have a range which will change in size & in content, & I want this to be a Named Range at whatever size it is.
Reason I want to is because I want to make a Validation List with this dynamic range. I also want a Validation list which lists the content of 2 or more dynamic ranges which may or may not be on the same worksheet - is this possible?
i.e.
First dynamic range: called "Milestones" at A11
Second dynamic range: called "Activities" at A25
& make a Validation list that will list content of both
I have a bunch of city and state data in a range that I am referencing in
VB.
Example: ...
I am currently writing some VBA code to loop through and copy data from Excel file in sub folders into a master sheet of data. There are some 1200 Excel files (these are pre-2007 files), each containing a maximum of 600 lines of data. So far the code works until it gets to around 65000 rows (the old Excel limit). I am using and writing the code in a Macro-Enabled Excel 2007 file.
I am using a Range.Offset call, which is where the error is occurring, to copy in a name basically. What happened right before this was a Range.Copy operation from the old Excel file to a Range.PastSpecial in the new one. This worked fine, and actually went a few hundred rows past the pre-Excel 2007 limit. But when the single cell operation Range.Offset().Value is called next, it crashes with a Application or User-Defined error. The code works some 100+ times through the loop with no problem, and the file that it was working on is no different then the other files.
Is there a limit to how many selections you can include in a named range?
I have a worksheet that is split into several sections using merged cells accross rows. I would like to name most of the cells in a column so i can loop through them, but i can not include the merged cells that cross over it.
If my range is in Column C, it looks something like C2:C5, C7:10, C12:C20 (where C6 and C11 are part of a merged cell). When i name the range, it shortens the selected area.
Is there a limit? Is there another option to naming this very long range?
I am trying to define/name a range in vba. The range will always start in the same place, but as more information is appended to the data set it comes from, the more (or less) rows it can populate. I want to limit the length of the range because I am using it in a data validation drop down list and i do not want to see all of the blanks at the bottom of the list.
Checking the "Ignoe blanck cells" box in data validation did not make the spaces disappear, probably because there is data in an adjscent column that goes much further down the worksheet.
My current vba is:
ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="Date", RefersToR1C1:= _
"=Input!R4C4:R65536C4"
I want it to be the range that would highlight if I placed my cursor in R4C4 and hit Ctrl+shift+Down Arrow

View 3 Replies View RelatedAll of a sudden, deleting an entire row has become a calculation too complicated for Excel to calculate. It seems the RANGE of even a single row exceeds 33,000 cells - and therefore I get a warning that this could take a long time. Ignoring this warning does no good - Excel then tells me it couldn't do it. "Excel cannot complete this task with available resources. Choose less data and or close other applications."
In another seemingly related problem, I used a macro to automatically extend my formulas down 15,000 rows. I had hoped that I'd never have to drag down formulas again. But instead, this action created a much larger range of cells Excel now seems to consider "active." That means I can no longer use my scroll wheel, for example, to navigate my 300-row spreadsheet, because the scroll wheel seems to move the cursor up and down as a percentage of the total document length - a length now 15,000 rows long - and whatever percentage of that length each click of the scroll wheel was supposed to cover is now too miniscule to notice.
How do I make this spreadsheet "small" again?
And am I right in believing I should just convert the thing to a table?
I've been using these things called ranges, but I'm not even really sure what they are or how to use them effectively. I want to be able to make the following macro only applicable to the range, of anything below F5,G5 and I5.
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("$F:$I")) Is Nothing Then
Target.Font.Name = "Marlett"
If Target = vbNullString Then
Target = "a"
ElseIf Target = "a" Then
Target = "r"
Else
Target = vbNullString
End If
End If
End Sub
How do I disable a range of cells when a numerical limit is reached?
Here is the scenario:
I have two worksheets, one called “Items” which contains a list of Items and their weight. The other sheet is called “Container” and displays a Type of container in cell B2, the weight capacity of that container (the numerical limit) in cell C2, and a range from B5 to B14 that needs to be filled out by an end user. The items in B2:B14 are chosen using Validation, form the Items sheet. The weight is brought in via a vLookup, and the total weight is calculated as items are added.
My problem is that I have yet to find a way to “disable” any extra cells in B5:B14 once the weight limit is reached, and clear the last cell data was selected for, all without destroying the Validation for the cells in range B5:B14.
I have tried many different things in the Worksheet Change Event, but none have yielded the desired result.
I have three codes (P, /P, P/) that could be entered in range H5:P5. P is counted as 1; P/ and /P are both counted as ˝.
I have the following formula in D5:

I entered the following formula for data validation:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(H5:S5="P"))+SUMPRODUCT(--(H5:S5="P/")/2)+SUMPRODUCT(--(H5:S5="/P")/2)

I have a UDF for a lookup_occurrence formula (thanks to Dave), and I was wondering if it was possible to tweak the range it looks at with if statements.
I have a formula like this =Lookup_Occurence(B13, INDIRECT($N$5), 1,1,5) where N5 says exit card 1.
I need it to only look at a certain rows within exit card 1 depending on the value entered in I5.
If value I5 says Period_1 it will only look in rows 12:46.
If value I5 says Period_2 it will only look in rows 48:82 etc.
I believe I need to modify the xl look part of the code with if statements.
Below is the code. I am wondering if I can replace the xlLook line with nested if statements. If I5="Period_1 then rows 12:46" etc.
Function Lookup_Occurence(To_find, Table_array As Range, _
Look_in_col As Long, Offset_col, Occurrence As Long, _
Optional Case_sensitive As Boolean, Optional Part_cell_match As Boolean)
Dim lLoop As Long
Dim rFound As Range
Dim xlLook As XlLookAt
Dim lOcCheck As Long
I was wondering if it is possible to do this unique find and replace that is explained below.
I have many columns with data from our database. I have one column that has my html layout in it. I want to find within the html text data and replace it with data from another column for that row.
Example: We have [[manufacturer]] in the html area that we want to replace with data from our column called Manufacturer. So, it will replace the text in the html named [[Manufacturer]] with that rows Manufacturer data we have.
Is that possible to do?
I have around 10 names which I want to replace with their code names. For Example, "Alan Richard" needs to be replaced with AR001. Problem is I don't know cell range and this name might appear more than once in the data.
