Lookup For A Portion Of A Text Value
Dec 16, 2009
I want to lookup a text value in an array (vlookup). However, instead of searching for the exact value I want to search for only the exact match of the first four characters of the text value. Example
If I have in Cell A1 the text value: 5154
In cell B1 I want to lookup 5154 in the values cells C1 to C6
614a215g
515476
29421cg
215a786
914215g
2154a6
The result would be 515476
I tried with this:
=VLOOKUP(A1,LEFT(Table4,4),1)

I was wondering whether it is possible to have excel ignore the text portion of a given cell. Or alternatively, have excel add in units (or specified text) after you input an initial value so that the cell can be used in a formula.
I have noticed that if I have cell A1 as 1 min and autofill, excel will recognize the number value and still put 2 min in A2, 3 min in A3, etc. However I can not use a function or any formula as the result will be #Value or another error.
I am looking for a way to be able to use the cells in formulas, and I do not want to put the text portion of the cells into another row/column.

C4 - #01941 (ATF Cleaner)
I have asked this before as to a formula to get rid of the text and only leave the #01941. The formula I received is =LEFT(C4,FIND(" ",C4)-1) and it works fine.
My queston now is there a way to only leave ATF Cleaner? No ( ) around it?

Auction Type: Auction, Auction End Time: 11/15/2006 10:00:00 AM(MST), Asking Price/Current Bid: $10.00, Number of Bids: 0, Description: , Traffic: 28
and in cell b1 I need it to only display $10.00 in cell c1 I need 0 (for number of bids)

The following code highlights part of the time (hours or minutes) that will be modified by a spin button. The code works fine (although maybe a more efficient way). Each time you click in the time it will highlight the hours or the minutes, depending on where you click. When you click on the spin button the control loses the focus so becomes un-highlighted. I thought that just setting the focus back to the text box would work but what I am getting now is it highlights on every other click of the spin button.
Private Sub spnTime_Change()
Dim dtTime As Date
Dim y As Integer
If strTimeChange = "" Then
MsgBox "Please click on a time to modify it"
Exit Sub
End If
dtTime = Format(ctlText, "hh:mm")
y = Me.spnTime.Value...............

I have a column of data that contain miscellaneous comments in each of the cells in column 'A'. This is a sample of the text in one of those cells:
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
Is there a way to programmaticly search each cell in col 'A' to look for any occurrence of the string 'fox jumps over' and highlite in RED only that string occurrence?
So in the end the above cell would now be:
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

I have a button (shape) whose text value is linked to cell A1. (In other words, if text in cell A1 changes, the text on the button changes). A concatenation formula exists in cell A1 to "join" together a combination of text and cell values. The formula in A1 looks something like this:
="You have "&B10&" records that contain errors."
I'd like to set the font for the "&B10" portion to be a different color than the rest of the text string so that it stands out from the rest of the text. Obviously this can be done when the text is manually entered into a text box, but when using a formula to populate the text in the text box, it's all or nothing. I'm hoping to find a way to embed a separate font color within the formula string in A1 for just the portion I want to change? For example, all text would be regular/black, but the numeric value generated from cell B10 would be yellow.

I am trying to organize it in a way that I can have all my purchases added based on my text criteria of certain purchase... Ill try to be as clear as possible. I have already organized it in a way that when I paste new months statement in my Excel file it sorts it by date, newest on the top, and I made Conditional Formatting by color on column D which states the Description of purchase. Starbucks appears in description cell but it is followed by number and location making each Starbucks cell in column D different in name. So its hard to use Exact phrase formula to combine the amount for that purchase.
My question is: Is there a formula that find a PORTION of text in a D column and automatically adds the price to the right of it together in one cell. There is a formula that looks for the whole text in the cell but that doesn't work when my name has always some extra numbers at the end of the word Starbucks

I try to write the function that gets some "ref" and returns appropriate item.
For example: if I give to function "C3", it returns "AAA"
if I give to function "R18", it returns "BBB" (cause it between R15 to R26)
if I give to function "R9", it returns "BBB" also.

Cell H1 has a variable string of references for eg
"FI570783AQ3516346EQ3516346FXVB123456"
I want to return the reference beginiing with "FXVA" so it would ignore the rest and only return FXVB123456 - this should always be 10 characters.
Just to add another complication to the mix, there may be 2 "FXVA" references in the string and i want to get both (these can be in the same string so FXVB123456FXEL123456 - but this might not happen regularly.

I have a few thousand files that I'm trying to hyperlink into excel. The files are named with a date at the end of it. I want to be able to hyperlink to that file just by looking up the name without the date portion. So basically I'm asking if I could hyperlink a file with only a part of the name, and yes the names are distinct even without the date. I now am loading all of the file names into a spread sheet via a VBA code, however with almost 10k files that process takes longer than I'd like.

I faced a problem to attach this small WB as an XLS
I'm looking for some way to some the red cells without looping.
In this example the array was filled with A1:A10 values.
In the real situation the array gets its values from other source than a Worksheet Range.
As you can see I manged to transport the Array Values to F1:F10 and from here I could calculate the sum of F3:F8 but I do not want to use any helper columns.

I find the protection options of Excel confusing. I have a pivot table. Alonside it our a few formula columns. I want to protect only the columns outside the pivot but can not get it to work. I tried this:
1) Highlight entire sheet
2) Format Cells Protection - remove checkmark from: Lock Cells
3) Highlight 4 rows outside pivot
4) Format Cells Protection - place checkmark in Lock Cells
5) Tools Protection Sheet - supply password
The result is that the 4 columns outside the pivot are indeed locked BUT SO IS THE PIVOT...ie you can not utlize the dropdowns!
It must have something to do with the pivot, on a regular sheet (no pivot) it works fine. Further if, while Protecting the sheet, I click the: allow Pivot table reporting box, then it allows dropdown usage but blows up as soon as you select something with an error about not being able to redisplay selected itemsbecause of protection being on....

I have read Dave Hawley's reply to a member using LEFT and MID but I can't seem to make what I want, to work.
I have an address in the follwing format:
12 MAICH ROAD, MANUREWA CENTRAL, MANUKAU CITY
I need to extract the '12' to be placed in one cell, and the 'MAICH ROAD' in another cell.
Unfortunately not every address has a street number and is sometimes listed as follows:
LEYTON WAY, MANUKAU CENTRAL, MANUKAU CITY
I still need to be able to put the 'LEYTON WAY' portion into the same column as the 'MAICH ROAD' in the previous example.

I need the VB code to copy just a portion of a filtered list. I have completed the code to sort and filter the list. I'm having a problem determining how to define the region needed. I have searched the forums and found a few helpful threads but nothing specific. Most show selecting all the columns of the filtered list.
My list is in columns A:AA and begins in row 4 (header row). In my test data, there are 5,900+ records and filtered list is approximately 4,900 records. Since I have sorted the data, the portion of the filtered data I need will always begin in cell D5, be columns D:K, and be the visible rows.

Is it possible to sort by column, but only a specific portion of the data within the field?
For example, I have a set of numbers, 5026125120. I want to sort my spreadsheet by the 3rd and 4th digit only of that set of numbers (5026125120).

I am in need of a formula. I have a number like: 23847-2
I want a formula to take this number and add one to the number before the hyphen. I also want the single digit number after the hyphen to be able to be changed.
So in the end: i want the number copied to the next cell, add one to the portion before the hyphen. Then allow the number after the hyphen to be changed manually.

I have a list of 400 numbers. I wish to filter down the list to those 500 and then of that list get the 95 percentile.
I have tried
=IF('GRML ECP 01'!O$2:O$584 500 I get a blank. When I run the function manually on the numbers > 500 I get 1800.

I have a range of workbooks that I need to access when closed. I therefore want to use INDEX rather than INDIRECT.
This non-dynamic INDEX reference works perfectly:
=INDEX('[AAA 100.xlsx]Sheet 1'!$A$1:$F$20;1;1)
In the future, however, there will be a lot of reference files and both portions of the name will change - I might have ABC 123, DEF 345, etc. These name portions will be stored in cells. Cell A19 might contain "AAA" and Cell A20 might contain "100".
I am trying in my ignorance to get something like this to work:
=INDEX("'["&A19&" "&A20&".xlsx]Sheet 1'!$A$1:$F$20";1;1)
But I just get "#VALUE!".
Stepping through the evaluation, it seems the final value to be evaluated is this:
INDEX("'[AAA 100.xlsx]Sheet 1'!$A$1:$F$20";1;1)
The outermost double quotes therefore seem to be causing the problem, but if I remove them I get "#REF!".
