Macro To Find A Word In A Sentence By Using The "FIND" Method
Dec 14, 2008
giving me a macro to find a word in a sentence by using the "FIND" method.
For example I have a sentence say "I am happy" in which I have to search whether any of 2 words say "Happy" or "Sad" is there or not. If the sentence contains any of these words, then that row has to be highlighted.
I dont have much experience with VBA and im looking for an operator that helps me find a word (or part of a word) in a sentence located in a cell. I have to do this to create a user friendly form. I cant use the Find option in excel because i need to do this in a form.
I'm trying to use this Find Method and combine it with a countif or loop. Something that will count a number of occurences of a unique type of character. I'm looking to find all "F" characters in Bold, Italic and Size 16. Here's my find code that I'm trying to use. I can get it to work by itself but not along with a countif or loop.
Sub count_4() Dim r As Range Set r = Range("A1:A6") With Application.FindFormat.Font .Bold = True .Italic = True .Size = 16 End With r.Find(What:="F", LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlWhole, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _ SearchDirection:=xlNext, searchformat:=True, MatchCase:=True).Activate End Sub
I am having trouble getting my IF statement to test if the cell contains the text "sale" return "X" if not "Y". I need it to search through the text string in that cell and find a certain word, and if it finds that word, retrn a value. I am really having difficulty with is what symbol or function do I use for the logical test? (i.e. =, <>, MATCH, INDEX?)
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.
Private Sub cmdShowdata_Click() Dim Tgt As Worksheet Dim Source As Range Dim wbSource As Workbook Dim cel As Range Dim rng As Range Dim c As Range Dim i As Long Application. ScreenUpdating = False Set Tgt = ActiveSheet Set wbSource = Workbooks.Open("C:Documents and SettingsDesktopStaff Recoed 2") Set Source = wbSource.Sheets(1).Columns(1) With Tgt .Activate 'clear old data Range(.Cells(3, 2), .Cells(200, 5)).ClearContents ' Loop through names in column A For Each cel In Range(.Cells(3, 1), .Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp)) If Not cel = "" Then...................
The above vba command which is extract the data from the Other workbooks. It looks for the "Staff 001", "Staff 002"...these parameters to transfer the data to the worksheet. But, the "Staff 001" data must appear twice in each workbooks. If i use the above command, i only can extract the FIRST "Staff 001" average data. But SECOND "Staff 001" average data cannot extract. I know it may be use FindNext method to do this but i am not sure how to write it
In ColA From A 3 downwards I have a large list of keyword phrases.
I am looking for a macro where I click on a assigned macro button and a pop up box appears saying " Find words Ending With" In the space provided I insert a word.
So, for example I insert the word "rent".
The macro then looks at all the data in ColA (From A 3 downwards) and searches for all keyword phrases ending with the word "rent".
If it could return All Phrases in ColC (From C3 downwards).
If it can't find any, then if a pop up box can appear saying something like "No Data Found"
That's it really. If it could have a pop up box at the end saying "Total Phrases Scanned: 1234" " Total Phrases Found Ending With "In" "Time Elapsed (sec.): 12.12353
Could you tell me how I can find a specific sentence within a cell that contains many sentences.
for example
I want to find, "I am new." within a text that contains, "Hello I am Bob. I am new. I live in england."
I am currently using =+FIND(AB$1,$V2) where AB1 contains the sentence I am looking for and V2 contains the cell full of sentences. However this returns #VALUE! when the sentence is not found. I want it to return null.
I have an excel file, where there is a section "Additional Requirements". This section is repeated like 20-25 times in the sheet and has a group of merged cells below it to enter data as shown in the picture. Issue is that majority of these "Additional Requirements" are not filled by the user. Hence maybe only 3 or 4 are filled and I have to manually delete the rest. I tried the code below, but it doesn't do anything.Running the macro just jumps the cells slowly downwards the sheet. Maybe if the macro runs 10-15 times it reads the whole code and then moves on to the next row.8-1-2014 12-43-27 PM.png What I'm trying to achieve is:
1. for the macro to find "Additional Requirements"
2. Then check the Merged cell below it (thus the offset)
3. If this cell is blank, select this cell and the cell containing "Additional Requirements"
4. Delete entire rows of these cells/delete the selection (entirerow.delete). (I read somewhere to set a variable as selection and clear it, hence ive included in the unreadable code. This wasn't working either)
I have a large spreadsheet with about 18000 rows or data and about 60 columns. I need to a macro to find a specific word in a column like "charge" and anytime that word is found in the column to insert a blank cell in front of it.
Currently the sheet looks like this:Fee AChargeFeeChargeFee AChargeFeeChargeFee AChargeFee AChargeNeed to get it to look like this: (so I can sort and subtotal)Fee AChargeFee AChargeFee AChargeFee ACharge
Sheets("Tracker").Activate Set StudentTbl = Sheets("Tracker").Range("A1:" & "Z" & NumStudents)
Set NamePosition = StudentTbl.Find(What:=RightName, LookIn:=xlFormulas, _ LookAt:=xlWhole, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:=False) I thought the find method returned a range?
I am having trouble using teh find method. I'm using it to search for a string in a column, then give me the row number, which is fine when the string is found, but when it is not I get an error of "variable not set." I'm pretty certain it is returning void, but how to I capture that? Here's the
The objective of this macro is to sort through a database and find all entries that match up (ie 12345 and -12345) and delete these records. when i run it foundCell always returns nothing.
Sub recSheet() Dim balance As Double Dim balanceCell As Double Dim BalanceVal As Variant Dim FoundVal As Double Dim calcmode As Long Dim ViewMode As Long Dim FoundCell As Object Dim myRng As Range Dim sh As Worksheet

I use the following code. I want to make Replace only in the case which there is a whole word in a part of a cell, but not in part of specific characters.
Example: In the code i want to replace the word "to" but replaces all the words that contains "to". For example in the word together lets only the characters gether, and in the word tonight lets only the characters night etc.
I have data till 1000 rows. Every cell contain 1 sentance. I wanted to extract a specific word from that sentance. That word lenth is always 10 character and that word gets start with W0. e.g W012202911
I have a huge collection of data where i need to extract out the lines that contain "hsbc" or "hbio"
E.g. 1) N0253 HBIO Corporate 2) N0082 HSBC Bank USA National Association
Basically, this data is in range C1:C500 and i need to place it into buckets so i.e. if the word contains HSBC then find out how many days it took to service, where "days to service" is in column AG
I have 1 big sentance in cell A1 which contain one unique word starting with IE0025 or IE0027. I wanted to extract that word from entire sentance and this data is till 1000 rows. Not necessary that it will be in a constant position because always it get change to some other position within sentance.
How to get the GetFromClipboard syntax from here working with my code (below), but am having a really frustrating time. Basically, I need to search for whatever value is copied to the clipboard (as you can see below which will be relative to a certain cell).
Here's what I have so far, and I'm trying to replace the contents of the What:="121212121" part of the Find method to look for the clipboard contents (a 9 char number) in another sheet (where a duplicate exists - the value I am searching will be a unique identifier for the incorrectly created duplicate record that needs to be deleted).
So, What:=<insert number/string on clipboard here>
I am trying to use the .Find method to match a date. In sheet2 I have a range of cells which are formatted to only show the day "dd" (I could format each cell to show (dd-mmm-yy, etc). In sheet1, I have dates which are formatted as "January 7, 2009"
I want to create a VBA find routine which allows me to match the date from Sheet2 (Ranged between cells A1:Z1) with Sheet1. Then output a MsgBox stating "Match found in cell $A$7 of Sheet1" I have tried a formula similar to:
PHP Set FoundCell = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:Z1").Find _ (what:=DateValue("January 7, 2009") ,lookin:=xlFormulas)
My .find function is only finding the 2nd value in a cell example If i look up the term " HOSE"
5/8 hose water Will return 5/8 heater hose will not
Basically what I am making is something I am calling a "what" button. It queries my database and returns all the part numbers with the term i put in and i thought it was working fine till i was testing it, did i do something to select this? I've tried xlpart and xl whole. Neither is working.
Here is the code below
Sub COPYPARTNUMBERINFO()Dim parttofind As String Dim partcell As Range Dim partref As Range ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="*******" Range("t6:T10000:u6:U10000").Select Selection.ClearContents parttofind = InputBox("What is the number or discription")
I am using the find method to search column headings, and based on the results copy the column to another worksheet. Everything works fine except if I have a mixed text and numeric string in the cell, for example DT35. In this case the macro doesn't copy this column. I have attached the spreadsheet. CTRL - A will run the macro. The macro calls a form with checkboxes, captioned using the values in the worksheet titled "Set-Up". If a value is found in the column heading the checkbox is set to true, then when the "Copy Selected Columns to Final Sheet" button is selected the columns are copied to the "FinalSheet" worksheet. I tried using xlPart instead of xlWhole, and this works but I need to search for exact strings so xlPart isn't a great work around.
I have 2 worksheets, one called Summary and the other called LNB. Column A in both worksheets contain account numbers.
I am trying to tell excell to look at the LNB worksheet and find the account number that is on the summary worksheet. If the account number is found, then tell me the row, on the Summary worksheet, that the account was found.
The function returns "Empty" even though I know the accounts do exist on both sheets and I dont know why.
