Specify Finite And Exact Number Of Characters Between Colons When Searching?
Mar 1, 2012How I can find instances of text strings containing two colon characters separated by any two (arbitrary) characters?
So in other words, "xxxx:xx:xxxx"
If I use :
Code:
SheetName.Cells.Find(What:=":**:", After:=[A1], SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious)
...I get a return of any strings containing two colon characters (regardless of the number of characters in-between) - because obviously the asterisk(s) denote any text whatsoever.
How do I specify a finite and exact number of characters between the colons when searching?

Jul 4, 2012I have a userform for the user to use a search engine on what he needs. The following code I have written it, but it is only good if he writes exact wording of the document name. How can I twist the code to make the search look for approximate words,
The search engine will try to look in for all the titles on "Result" worksheet and copy/past it to a new sheet called "search". so when the user types in the userform "specification" for instance, it will look all titles (Specifications, specification, spec, brown color spec) that has this word in the "Result" sheet and then it will copy/paste it in the Search Sheet.
Code:
Private Sub ok_1_Click()
Dim sht As Worksheet
Set sht = Worksheets("Result")
'if no name selected
If Trim(Me.Document_box.Value) = "" Then
MsgBox "Please write a document name."

Then I want to copy that info and paste it into another column.

Searching For Specific Word In VBA Case Script
Jun 4, 2012some of the code proved inflexible when applied to other columns of data. I have some VBA code that could work if it can be modified. First the code:
Sub ColorMe()
Dim lRw As Long
lRw = Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
[Code].....
The way things are right now, if a cell in the B-column contains the word "April" (and ONLY that word), the contents of the C-column's cell on the same row receives a red font color (index 3 as per the example above). The idea is to modify the code so that it searches for the word "April" in a string of text such as "Mike's April Trip" and color the contents of the cell to the right of it accordingly. Is this possible?
As an aside, conditional formatting does not work for the purpose that the cells are being colored for. It needs to remain hard-coded like in the script above, hence why I am just looking to modify something that 'sort-of' works.
Any Way To Validate Formula Only Searching Front Of A Word?
Jul 18, 2012Here is the current code I am using: =IF(A1="MIXED DBLs 1st Place",'Mixed Doubles'!B9,"")
What has happened is I am changing the Field Mixed DBLs to a field that could have multiple values, so I am no longer going to be able to do a test on a Hard-Coded Value.. So is there a way to only validate on the front of the word like just MIXED DBLS and nothing after that??
Searching A Column For A Word And Deleting All Rows That Don't Contain It
Jun 21, 2007I am trying to create a search function in a database I have made. I have a userform with drop down boxes that people can choose what they want to search for. Once they have chosen and clicked the search button I want it to search only in the relevant column, i.e. search for the word in the dropdown for "engine" only in the "engine" column of the database. Once it has found the appropriate cells with the answer, I want it to delete all other rows that don't include the answer.
Once it's done this it needs to do it again for the other fields, unless they are empty. I have used 'If engine_type <> "" Then' as the starting point so that it only searches chosen fields.

Relative Vs. Exact And Sum Macro?
Jun 1, 2006I can record a macro that will sum a column of data at the end of data in that column - simple; my problem is getting it to work on other workbooks that have a different amount of rows in it. I tried recording the macro using the relative button as well as without using it, but either way I do it, I can never get it to work on a different workbook. For example, I record the macro, then remove a couple rows after to simulate running on another workbook, and then when I run it, the sum gets put in the cell that used to be the end of the column instead of the real end of the column…Same is true if I add some rows. I don't know if I am using the right terminology below (OK, I know I'm not) but it gets the message across best when I say I think I need something that will do the following (substitute "code" for "make believe code"):
1. Go To cell F1
2. Go To last entry In this column
3. Move down one cell
4. Sum F2:Fx (where x = one cell above current selection - the last populated cell In the column With data In it before the sum)
Instead of this (what I have right now)................
Make Macro Wait For Process To Complete
Feb 4, 2010I'm using a pre-made spreadsheet from my stock broker (Interactive Brokers) that retrieves and displays real-time quotes, and allows one to retrieve historical stock data, among other things. I've created a little macro within it to try and automate some common tasks I do everyday - basically I want to retrieve a year of daily stock quotes for "stock 1" from IB's servers, then have the macro wait for the retrieval to be done and written to the spreadsheet (takes anywhere between 10 and 30 secs). After that's all done, then I want to do the same for "stock 2". Then when that's done, the macro proceeds to go ahead and do some calcs on stock1 and stock2. The problem is after my stock1 data request, the macro just keep on trucking through to the next commands while stock1's data retrival is still going on.
so things are getting all balled up. How can I get my macro to wait until stock1's data retrieval is all done?
Macro Find&replace Only Exact Value
Sep 24, 2009This macro finds and replaces multiple values found on another sheet. however, it does not only take the exact value, also others.
Example:
If i want to change "Example 1", "Example 2", ... "Example 10" into "One", "two", etc. Example 10 then changes into "One 0" because it changes the Example 1 (without the 0 in 10) into One. Is there any way to alter this (or do you have another macro to replace multiple values?
Simplified Macro That Copies Col A And B From 12 Sheets To Complete Sheet
May 13, 2014I have this code that works where Column A and B from 12 sheets are copied to a "Complete" sheet where it is saved as a CSV file for import.
I'm fairly new at this and know this code could be simplified to loop through the 12 sheets instead of copying the code 12x!!
I've copied the code for the 1st 2 sheets:
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
For i = 3 To Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
OutSH.Cells(1, outcol).Value = Cells(i, 1).Value
OutSH.Cells(2, outcol).Value = Cells(i, 2).Value
OutSH.Cells(2, outcol + 1).Value = Cells(i, 3).Value
outcol = outcol + 1

Macro Code To Filter Out 'Exact Matches' In 2 Columns
Nov 29, 2006I have a large worksheet in drive C: called 'hits.csv' that has manufacturer part numbers in column G and column L.
I need macro code to find all rows in the worksheet where the part number in each cell in column G is exactly the same as the part number on the same row in the corresponding cell in column L. The macro should then delete/remove all rows where there is no exact match.
Note: The part number in every cell in column G is the only thing that is in each cell in that column. However just to warn you that the part number in every cell in column L is at the beginning of each cell, followed by a space and then a description of the part.
Once it has done the above, I would also like this macro code to open a worksheet called 'partnumbers.csv' in drive C:. It should then compare the part numbers in column A of this file with the part numbers in the above worksheet ('hits.csv'). The cells in Column D of the file 'partnumbers.csv' all contains a price. Where the macro finds an exact match on the part numbers in these 2 files, it should copy the price from the cell in column D in the file 'partnumbers.csv', into Column K of the other file, 'hits.csv' where the match exists.

XL Macro For Searching Column For Multiple Entries

There are 5 different text entries I'd like it to look for but can't figure out how to do it. I have a work around by using wildcards, but then I have to write another macro to delete out the ones I don't want.
Where is says "DNA - weapons", I'd also like it to allow for "DNA - paternity" and a couple other options.
Here is my current code:

Oct 11, 2013I am trying to write a macro to open a specific file, but need to search multiple folders within folders to find it.
The file name I need to open is "Escalation Adherence-Details " & Format(Date, "mm-dd-yy") & ".xlsx".
I need to drill down to the Adherence Report folder and then have the macro search through folders for each year (2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, etc) and then each month within each year (1 January, 2 February, 3 March, etc), at which point I would then find that day's file.

Macro - Select Multiple Cells By Searching For Specific Text
Nov 8, 2013I would like to select all cells in column A that begin with the text "SP". Some cells will be contiguous but others will not. For instance in one case, I would like the macro to select cells with the text "SP" which would result in cells A1, A2, A3, A10, A15 being selected. I am working on building a macro that will then do other things to these cells/rows so this is the first step.
The below code will select the first cell with "SP". How would I alter this code to only search Column A and select multiple cells? or totally different code.
Code:
Sub test()
Dim r As RangeSet
r = Cells.Find(what:="SP", LookIn:=xlValues, lookat:=xlWhole)
If Not r Is Nothing Then r.Select
End Sub
