Macro:finding Next Instance Of Text Using FindNext Method
Dec 16, 2006
I am facing problems with finding next instance of text using FindNext method. Kindly find code belowe which i have used.
Set srcCell = SourceBook.Worksheets(1).Columns("A").Find("Risk", After:= Sheets("SubArea"). Range("A21"), LookIn:=xlValues, lookat:=xlWhole)
'Set srcCell = SourceBook.Worksheets(1).Columns("A").FindNext
Set firstsrccell = srcCell
Do While Not (srcCell Is Nothing)
tgtCell.Offset(tgtRow, 0) = srcCell.Offset(-1, 255)
tgtCell.Offset(tgtRow, 1) = subAreaId
tgtCell.Offset(tgtRow, 2) = srcCell.Offset(0, 1)
tgtCell.Offset(tgtRow, 3) = srcCell.Offset(1, 1)
tgtCell.Offset(tgtRow, 5) = srcCell.Offset(3, 1)
tgtCell.Offset(tgtRow, 6) = srcCell.Offset(2, 1)
Set srcCell2 = SourceBook.Worksheets(1).Columns("A").FindNext
' If firstsrccell.Address = srcCell.Address Then
' Exit Do
' End If
tgtRow = tgtRow + 1
Loop
I checked above code by putting breakpoint, but code is unable to find next instance where it matches the required string (FindNext reamains at the same position).
I'm trying to get the Find and FindNext methods to work. Column C contains serial numbers and there's a chance that a serial number might appear more than once in the column. What I'm trying to do is get Excel to find the first occurance of the serial number, find what row it's on and then see if this matches the variable 'CurRowNo' (defined earlier in the code). If it doesn't I want it to look at the other occurances of the serial number, find what row they're on and see again if it matches CurRowNo.
The variable 'EngCount is the number of occurances of the serial number (also worked out earlier in the code). I've got the code below, but I get the error 'Method Range of Object Global Failed' on the FindNext line. I have no idea what this error means or why it's happening.
I have a list of names that are mixed and in no order (and need to stay out of order, so not sorting allowed). I need to parse this list to give me the FIRST instance that each name shows up in the list. The one exception is that the first name, cell A1, will be auto-generated from a different workbook, and it is automatically named Name1.
So, in the example spreadsheet, Name1 (cell E2) must equal "Alice". The problem arises on Names2-4. Name2 (cell E3) should be David, Name3 (cell E3)=Jerry, and Name4 (cell E4)=Mark. I tried an array formula:
{=INDEX(A2:A13,MATCH(TRUE,A2:A13<>Name1),0)},
But it is yielding "Jerry" as Name2, when it needs to be Name3. And, of course, this doesn't work on Names3-4 at all. I don't think it matters, but just in case, A2:A13 will be data validation lists.
I've got a very large spreadsheet wherein I need to write a formula for each row to find the first cell with any entry greater than 0 and then add to that cell the contents ONLY 5 cells contiguious to it.
For example data set is this (in .csv format for you)
I need formula to find first instance in each row of entry greater than 0 and then add to that the contents of next 5 cells.
Jones would find the 5 and then add the 2,7,9,3,10 to it for formula result of 36 Smith would find the 3 and then add the 8,17,23,9,3 to it for formual result of 63
What I need is for a formula that lists one example of each instance included in Column A.
As per the example data above, the expected results when dragging down from C1 through to C9 would be:
---------A----------------B--------------C-------- 1--Main Building-------001-------Main Building 2--Block A--------------001-------Block A 3--Block A--------------002-------Block B 4--Main Building-------002-------BSS House 5--Block B--------------001------- 6--Block A--------------003------- 7--Main Building-------002a------- 8--BSS House----------BSS------- 9--Main Building-------003-------
I know I could use a pivot table to do this but as I need this to be dynamic, and also to be used with Excel on an iPad Air, I can't as it doesn't support pivot tables or VB to automatically refresh it.
I'm trying to convert variable length strings which are being copied from a display and loaded into an array.
I have it working fine for the majority of the data, which comes in looking like "*ABC@US" or "*AABC@US"
However, some of the data looks a bit different, particularly lacking the @ symbol. So what I end up with is
"*ABC US*ABC US*ABC US"
What I need to get to is just "ABC US" FYI the US part can be 1-5 characters.
SO... I need a way to truncate anything after the second instance of the asterisk. Haven't been able to get it to work using various trim, mid, len, left, right, etc functions.
I have a list of product numbers in col. A. In col. O I have a list of file names that contain the product numbers as well as additional characters. I need a formula that will search col O for the first instance of the text in cell A2 and return that value.
The next formula will return all instances that contain the text found in A2.
I have the following formula that returns the most frequently occuring string in a range. what I would like to do is return the 2nd, 3rd 4th and 5th most common occourance as well. I am not sure if I can do this by adjusting this formula or whether that would be a completely diffent formula or worst case senario it is not possible at all.
I have a spreadsheet which I am trying to put in a macro to add a new page (below the current page in the same worksheet) so that users who are unfamilair with Excel can simply do this.
I have got the macro to copy the cells I want and can get it to paste but the issue is I don't always want it to paste in the same place. The current document is 1 page long but it may need to be up to 10 pages long. I am trying to get it to find the last instance of the word "COMMENTS" and then paste the copied info 3 rows below that.
I used to dabble in QBasic and VBA programming in my youth, but I haven't done any programming in so many years, most of my prior knowledge is gone. What this means is that I'm picking things up reasonably quickly, but I don't really know what I'm doing at all. Anyway, I'm trying to setup a script that uses Find to search for a particular phrase, deletes the entire row if it finds that phrase and repeats the process until it has deleted every single row that contains that phrase.
is it just me and my copy of Excel 2003 or does the following code taken directly out out Microsoft Visual Basic Help result in a run-time error, with the last "Loop While Not" line of code highlighted as the problem?
I was trying to get a multiple find working on my userform, and was always getting the error, so thought I'd try the code in it's most basic form, and I'm still getting the error?
With Worksheets(1).Range("a1:a500") Set c = .find(2, LookIn:=xlValues) If Not c Is Nothing Then firstAddress = c.Address Do c.Value = 5 Set c = .FindNext(c) Loop While Not c Is Nothing And c.Address firstAddress End If End With
I'm sure I must be just doing something stupid!
This code goes through the range A1:A500 and replaces any cells that contain the value 2 with the value 5.
I am using Range. Find() and Range.FindNext() Method. As per my knowledge FindNext() advances in the text and searches for same string found using Find(). I have used Find() for two different searches in Sheet. (Eg. Find() text "Risk" and Find text "ACL", Now when I use FindNext() for the second time (to search "ACL" text), next time when I use FindNext() to search first text ("Risk" it searches prev text - "ACL"). I have used them in a loop. Below is the code i have used.
Set SrcCell = SourceBook.Worksheets(1).Columns("A").Find("Risk", After:=Sheets("SubArea").Range("A21"), LookIn:=xlValues, lookat:=xlWhole) 'Set srcCell = SourceBook.Worksheets(1).Columns("A").FindNext Set firstSrcCell = SrcCell Do While Not (SrcCell Is Nothing) tgtCell.Offset(tgtRow, 0) = SrcCell.Offset(-1, 255) tgtCell.Offset(tgtRow, 1) = subAreaId tgtCell.Offset(tgtRow, 2) = SrcCell.Offset(0, 1) tgtCell.Offset(tgtRow, 3) = SrcCell.Offset(1, 1) tgtCell.Offset(tgtRow, 5) = SrcCell.Offset(3, 1) tgtCell.Offset(tgtRow, 6) = SrcCell.Offset(2, 1) RiskId = SrcCell.Offset(-1, 255) 'tgtCell.Offset(tgtRow, 0) = SrcCell.Offset(0, 255)...............
I have a VBS script that runs a macro in a workbook that is located in a SharePoint doc lib. The code looks like this:
[Code]....
I use code exactly like this to run other queries and it works great, but for some reason when I run this macro the instance of Excel doesn't end after the script is done running. I can see EXCEL.EXE sitting in the Task Manager and I have to end it manually.
Here is the code for the macro and related macros:
This macro just calls my other macros. Each terrslicersXX macro is a different sales territory for which there are slicers to filter out data.
[Code]....
An example of one of the sales territory slicers. Basically it just sets the slicer for the required sales territory so the SaveAsWebpage macro can save the information off as a webpage.
[Code]....
Saves the current data as a webpage.
[Code] ....
I have a feeling it has something to do with the last macro and how I publish the sheet as a webpage but I still can't get it to work.
1) search column A for a string 2) as that string is found, move the entire contents of that cell to the same row, column F 3) insert a blank row above the row where the text was found 4) continue to search and perform the same steps
I was able to come up with the code to find a single instance and perform the necessary steps, but I've tried 'til I'm blue in the face to incorporate the FindNext object to parse through the entire worksheet. I thought I was on the right track with the attached code (which could be completely wrong), but it returns my MsgBox "Value Could Not Be Found."
I'm trying to use the .Find and .FindNext functions to find how many cells in Worksheet("WAS") have the same value as the ActiveCell (B3 in this case) on the Worksheet("DDS"). Basically i'm just trying to figure out how many times this sub goes through the Do While loop. However, "tick" keeps coming back as a value of 1. I know there's something I must be doing wrong or something i'm not allowed to do but i'm still pretty new at this.
I keep getting that error when I'm running my macro. When I debug, it points me to the bolded line in the code below. The larger macro I'm running this function in runs this function some 101 times without error before this happens.
The values of the parameters are as follows when it gives me the error: Find_Exact("hchen", ws1, "B:B"). The first parameter is the only one that changes in the previously mentioned running of this function.
Search the activecell for a text string (a), and then either paste in text string (b) at the end of the cell if (a) is found, or text string (c) if (a) is not found.
For example, if the activecell has "AA/" in it, I want the cell to become "AA/01" (pasting in "01" at the end), and if the cell has just "AA" in it, I want it to still become "AA/01" (pasting "/01" at the end). The macro will be linked to a commandbutton.
If I use the following code to pass in a string variable and then attempt to find the string it never sees the text in line 2; or any line that contains (). The code is simply a test to try and figure out what i'm doing wrong. The actual goal is to search the entire sheet for text similar to that entered in by the user and then copy every row that contains similar text into another worksheet.
Sub CopyStuff() strVariable = "car" 'I have tried "*car*" also With Worksheets(1). Range("b1:b500") Set c = .Find(strVariable, LookIn:=xlValues) If Not c Is Nothing Then firstaddress = c.Address Do Set c = .FindNext(c) MsgBox (test) Loop While Not c Is Nothing And c.Address <> firstaddress test = c.Address End If End With End Sub
I have an formula if statement that returns "deletethisrow" if the test is true.
For every occurence of "deletethisrow" I want to delete the row. The number instances will be variable each time I run the file. So maybe it will find that string, maybe it will find 10 instances. I want to do some kind of loop that won't error out when it cannot find "deletethisrow", but will delete the rows for each instance where it does find this string.
I know it was verbose, but if I just do a loop for a fixed number of loops it will error out if it runs out of rows to delete.
I have a report that in column BX has a large string of text (html information). Within this text there is a phrase called "| Hear = Education Website |" The phrase Education Website can be a variety of things though (Up to 9 choices). What is a formula I could use to just pull out the text after "Hear =" but before |""?
I am trying to invoke an excel VBA macro from excel from a button or in some way directly by the user (that is by not having to invoke macro from excel menu) that can be invoked from a Macintosh or PC version of excel. That is, it should not used active X controls but in some other way that is best practice. Is there any way to invoke a macro by button or menu item that is cross-platform?
I have a macro on a workbook that when I hit the button it asks for the date of a register sales journal that I want to import. Then it asks for the cash in drawer amount. Then it puts in all of the data into the sales spreadsheet. Now I want to use the on time method to bypass the button and the entry of the date, and even get rid of the cash in drawer. I want to make the macro run at 9:30 every night. I want it to use the date on the computer to tell it which date to find? Here is the code I'm using! button macro
' Button2_Click Macro
Sub Button2_Click() ImportData End Sub
Here is the main macro Function FileExists(sFile As String) As Boolean Dim iLen As Integer On Error Goto NO_FILE FileExists = True
I have 2 macros, each called by the other to keep updates fast as per below,
Sub Macro1() Cells.Replace What:=",29", Replacement:=",30", LookAt:=xlPart, _ SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False Application .OnTime Now() + TimeValue("00:00:01"), "Macro2" End Sub
Sub Macro2() Cells.Replace What:=",30", Replacement:=",29", LookAt:=xlPart, _ SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False Application.OnTime Now() + TimeValue("00:00:01"), "Macro1" End Sub
I need to create a separate macro I can run to permanently stop these two cycling. And allow me to use Excel. Then, when I wish for these to cycle again, I simply run that macro.
The example Spreadsheet shows the current method of Ascending or Descending Data according to Macro. Is there a way to replace the current Ascending or Descending macro code with a formula for the required cell groups only?
Where hyperlink is a string that is valid. ( i tested by doing a cut and paste to the browser and it works ! ) When i launch the macro, it always bring me to the login screen. But if i do a cut and paste, it will bring me direct to the content i want.
I am working on a file which is a log of all the requests we send out to our vendors. We regularly need to re-send these requests to remind them they haven't responded yet, so I am working on a macro which takes the info from the log and re-populates the request form so everything doesn't have to be re-typed every time. I've added a MsgBox as a double-check to force people to confirm they want to re-send the request.
My problem is that if you hit "No" on the MsgBox, then try to run the code again, it gives me a Run-time Error 1004 saying "Paste method of Worksheet class failed". Can someone look at my code and see if you can tell me why it works the first time but not the second?
Sub RegenerateRequest() If ActiveCell.Column = 1 And ActiveCell.Row > 7 Then Application.Run "LogUnprotect" ActiveCell.EntireRow.Copy Sheets("Regenerate Request").Activate Application.Run "RegenFormUnprotect" Range("A40").Select ActiveSheet.Paste 'this is the line the debugger highlights.............
