MSG Box To Search And Return Adjacent Cell Value For Phone List Extensions

Apr 18, 2013

I have a phone list and I am trying to add a search box to it that when you type in the Employee name, it will return the value of the cell adjacent to the search result so the extension can show up.

I am a VBA Novice, but I have found plenty of code for the searching aspect of it. I am having trouble figuring out how to have the search occur and then return a different value then what was originally searched for.

Ideally I would like the msg box to show both the employee's full name and extension.

Search Range, Return Adjacent Cells Of Matches

Jun 21, 2007

I can solve my problem with a pivot table, and with VBA easily...however, I'm interested in knowing if this can be done with formulas (array formulas using index/match I'm assuming).

Goal: On sheet1 I have one column with products, then the column next to it will have an "Y" in it if the product is to be selected (blank if not). On sheet2 I want to create a list of the products that were selected (having the "Y"). The only thing stumping me is that I do not want spaces between the product list on sheet2...just a nice continuous list. Example:

Sheet1
cup Y
bowl Y
spoon
fork
knife Y

Sheet2

cup
bowl
knife

..not..

cup
bowl
knife

Formula To Search For One Word In Adjacent Cell?

Jul 8, 2014

I've got a long list of company names, i'm trying to create a formula to see if they match but the problem is the names won't match exactly (e.g it would be Joe Bloggs Limited & Joe blogg's ltd). I've thought about it and think the best way to see if they match would be to take the first word from the first cell (in this case Joe) and then search for it in the next cell and return TRUE if it exists anywhere in the cell and FALSE if not.

Search A List - Return Header / Value

Apr 5, 2004

I am trying to search a range for all of the nonblank cells, when I find one, return the column header and the value in that column. Vlookup won't work on this. It will only return a specified column.

Employee performance

ID area one | two | three

12947 23 | | 19
12948 32 | | 20
12948 |17 | 52

What I am trying to do is create a communication sheet. Employee ID 12947, your performance in area one= ______, in area two = ______ and so on.

Complex List - Search For Text And Return Value In Table

Jan 20, 2014

I have a complex list of text (a chart of accounts) with various roll ups for subtotals on one worksheet, and monthly download on another worksheet showing the name of the account and the value. I wish to use match the text to return the value in the front sheet and avoid taking the simple route of linking the cells in case additions are added during the year.

I've tried using IF and VLOOKUP formulas without success - i guess becasue I cannot sort the table in descending order?

What would be the best sort of formula to search using the text, and return a value on the same row?

How To Return Value Adjacent To Cell From Another Sheet?

May 18, 2009

I have one column of about 10 names (each of which is unique). The cell adjacent to these names is empty and I want to insert a value into this cell.

The value I'd like to insert into this cell is located in another sheet attached to the same file. This sheet has the same layout, except the unique name has the value next to it and the order of the names is different.

I'd like the formula to determine where the name from the first sheet matches the name from the second sheet. I'd like it to then display the data associated with that unique name in the first sheet, adjacent to the name in the blank cell.

Find Cell Value In Column & Return Text In Adjacent Cell

Jun 10, 2008

I have a drop down list in a merged cell B12-F12 and B13-F13 and B14-F14 . . . B30-F30.

I need the adjacent merged cell to populate a reason (text) based on the text answer in the drop down list or the entered text in the first merged cell. For example in the cell B12-F12 the user picks from the list or types in "Amiodarone." I want the adjacent merged cell G12-J12to automatically fill with "Heart Rhythm." I also want to be able to set up multiple if - them statements like if Amiodarone is entered then fill adjacent cell with Heart Rhythm and if Toprol XL then fill adjacent cell with Heart / Blood pressure and if simvastatin then fill adjacent cell with Cholesterol, etc. I have about 30 different options for cell 1 that I want to have auto fill in cell 2 based on the contents of cell 1. I've attached my file.

I want the user to be able to choose from the list or type the drug name in.

If Cell1 Reads Text1 Return The Value Of Adjacent Cell

Feb 25, 2014

A workbook containing 2 sheets. Sheet1 is a data entry sheet containing 8 columns and many 10s of rows of client data. The columns are (in this order) Client, Date, Code, Duration, CaseNo, Description, Staff. I also have a second sheet. Sheet2 takes the data from Sheet1 and displays the results of certain calculations, such as amt of cases a particular Staff person has and of what Code type.

Example:
- Total amt of P02 cases = 25
- # of cases Homer Simpson has = 10

So here's what I'm trying to accomplish:
Is it possible to have Excel return the total amt of time spent on a particular Code type? It would have to search through the Code column for a particular Code type (let's say "P03") and return the SUM of the Duration which resides in a different column.

Lookup Nth Occurrence Of Date & Return Adjacent Cell

Jun 5, 2008

I have a list of dates in column AF. I would like to retrieve a value from the 2nd occurrence of a date, so I used the function for the Nth Occurrence on this website as follows:

Function Nth_Occurrence(range_look As Range, find_it As String, _
occurrence As Long, offset_row As Long, offset_col As Long)
Dim lCount As Long
Dim rFound As Range
Set rFound = range_look.Cells(1, 1)
For lCount = 1 To occurrence
Set rFound = range_look. Find(find_it, rFound, xlValues, xlWhole)
Next lCount
Nth_Occurrence = rFound.Offset(offset_row, offset_col)
End Function

The excel formula I am using is as follows: =Nth_Occurrence(AF2:AF622,AE2,2,0,1)
Where AE2 is the date I am looking up. My question is this: When I put in a date ("1/12/2007") instead of AE2, i get the correct value. I tried giving AE2 and the AF column the same date formatting (3/14/2001), but this doesn't work. The date I am searching for also changes, so I cannot just type the date into the excel formula.

Find Cell Value In Another Workbook & Return Adjacent Cell

Aug 12, 2008

I am trying to complete these steps:

Take a value from AK59 from the "EQF" tab in a file called "QuoteMaster.xls"

Use that value to find match in column "A" in a Seperate workbook "ITMSTR.xls" on the "Sheet1" tab

Offset to the right 1 cell of the found value, take back to the "QuoteMaster.xls" and put in cell "AN59"

My code comes up with no errors, it opens the file and closes is as shown, but it doesn't copy the value over for whatever reason...

Cell Reference Or Adjacent Cell Return

Apr 5, 2008

I have a formula that searches through a couple columns, and based on some criteria on those columns, it returns a value. The criteria looks at the dates in a given week, finds the earliest date, and then the largest value for all entries of the same date. So, I do not know what this vale is going to be in advance. In any case, Let's call this value1. This is all working fine!

Now, what I need to do is grab the value in an adjacent column to the left(same row) and add that to value1. Let's call this adjacent column value, value2. I was thinking that I could use the OFFSET function in this way, OFFSET(cell reference of value1, 0, -1) to return value2.

But this requires that I can get a cell reference for Value1. I cannot find out how to get a cell reference. I saw some VBA code to search and return cell references, but it assumed that you know what value you are looking for, and I do not know that in advance.

Drop Down List Which Returns Values Based On What Has Been Selected In The Previous Drop Down List In The Adjacent Cell

Mar 19, 2009

I'm trying to create a drop down list which returns values based on what has been selected in the previous drop down list in the adjacent cell, e.g. if 'Apples' is selected in the previous cell then you should only be able to select from 'Gala, Granny Smith', or if 'Oranges' is selected you should only be able to select 'Seville, Blood Orange'. Is there a formula which would do this, or can I use a pivot table somehow? I'm totally stumped.

Find First Blank Cell In Column & Return Adjacent Date Less Than Or Equal To Today

Apr 4, 2008

how to make the data look like a table with three columns. Other than the date, it is space delimited. I have a tracking spreadsheet where Column A is populated with dates for the year. Column C contains daily values.

I don't always start entering daily values on the first day of the year, e.g., this year the first value in Column C corresponds to March 9. All values in Column C are contiguous - there are no blank cells until the value in Column A is greater than today's date code. I would like to use a formula (rather than VBA) to look down Column C and find the first non-blank entry where the value in Column A is less than or equal to today(). In this case, the formula should return the value for March 9, 2008.

How To Scrub A Phone List

Oct 15, 2013

I work for a charity and we have a new call list, about 1.2 million phone numbers. We have a list of about 1,000 numbers that we are not supposed to call again. How can I scrub the do not call numbers against the master list to remove both numbers? The master list has names in a column, city in another column, numbers in a column and city in a column. The do not call numbers I have are just listed in 1 column.

4 Column Phone List

Aug 4, 2008

I have just created a phone list of about 70 lines on a single A4 sheet
A B C D
Name No Name No

One of the PA's now wants to know if she deletes a Name and No from say column A & B
can I make it all reconfigure to eliminate the blank spce.

So basically names fill column A & B first then overflow onto Columns C & D.

I think a macro is the only way to go here but the PA isn't keen.

Comparing A Phone Number To An Allowed List

Feb 20, 2007

I have our company telephone accounts and im trying to highlight any numbers that are not on our approved dialling list. What I would like to happen (ideally) would be for a formula to look at the cell next to it and compare it with the approved numbers list, if it doesn�t appear on the list then it would do something to let me know, like put a big red X in the cell (if it could make me a cup of Tea instead that would be better).

Excel 2013 :: Check Cell For Text And Return Corresponding Text In Adjacent Cell?

Jan 28, 2014

I have 2 tabs in a 2013 workbook. Inventory Receipts and lookups. One of the Data verification lookups I have is a drop down list in each cell in Column B (eg: Cat, Dog, Mouse) In the lookups tab I have another cell range containing the sounds (eg: Meow, Bark, Squeak).

What I am trying to acheive is, if B2 contains Cat, then return Meow in B3, if B2 contains Dog then return bark in b3 and if B2 contains Mouse return squeak in B3. Ideally I would like the formula to return the text from my lookup sheet (eg: 'Lookups'!C2,'Lookups'!C3,'Lookups'!C4). So depending on which option they choose from my animal drop down list .. the correct noise would automatically fill in.

Search First Non-blank Cell To Return A Value In Another Column?

Jun 9, 2014

Want to look in one column and find the first non-blank numerical value, then have it return a value from another column.

Used to nest multiple IF functions together from different cells, but it seems overly complicated and time consuming. Sometimes I have over 30 cells to check.

For example, if Column A contains weekly sales data by week, entered weekly, and Column E has corresponding comparison data from the previous year. I want to enter a formula to check the first row that has sales data entered and have it match up the comparison value in the other column.
