I am trying to see if part of a text string matches part of another text string. Example: In C1:C100, I have names. In C101:C300, I have names that are similar to those in C1:C100, but may include a "The" in front or have "Inc" in the back, or both. Is there a way for me to check if each of the names in C101:C300 match one of those in C1:C100 and then get the matching value from C1:C100?
View 9 RepliesIf you look at the workbook I have attached, I have made a mock up of a file that I have to use. Cells A1:F12 are part a "Situation Status" file. My team uses this file to update that status of certain events. It shows the current planned estimated completion date for each event in each area. We are required to strikethrough every time the estimated completion date slides out. In some cases, the dates have move 3 or more times so there are cells with multiple dates with strikethroughs. The current date is always the last date in the text string and does not have a strikethrough.
Cells H1:J17 are part of a matrix that I am making to try and capture only the most current ECDs. I want I3 to show "8/10" instead of "8/1 8/3 8/10."
The Event Status and Event Matrix are part of two separate files that I have. The Event Status file is constantly changing so I can't simply say =RIGHT(B4,4) because I could wind up showing the date of a different situation.
Is there a way to lookup the situation name (i.e. "Situation 1"), the Area number, and the event number and return ONLY the latest ECD (the date without the strikethrouh)?
I have a worksheet in my workbook that contains data for 25 different airfoils, each one in a cell space of 3 columns and 50 rows.
In order to do some analysis on these airfoils, I need to save each 3x50 as separate text file to define input for analysis code.
How can I do this in VB in one macro?
refer to the attached workbook for reference. I am looking for a function in Sheet1, Column E that will search for the value of Sheet1, Column A within Sheet2, Column A. When a match is found, the function should look across Sheet2, Columns B - V for values of 1. When such values are found, the function should return the associated value from Sheet2, Row 2. There may be multiple values of 1, and as such, the function should separate values with a comma.

Trying to create a button that, once clicked performs the following task:
Checks whether the text in a cell in the column X2:X40 matches the text in a cell in the Range A2:U14.
If it does, the formatting of the cell in X2:X40 (eg background) must change to match that of the corresponding cell in A2:U14.
Only 1 cell in the range will match 1 cell in the column
For example:
Before click:
Cell A9 has "John" written in it and a yellow background
Cell X4 has "John" written in it and a clear background
During click:
matches these cells
changes X4 so that it also has a yellow background
After click:
Cell A9 has "John" written in it and a yellow background
Cell X4 has "John" written in it and a yellow background
This is for Excel 2007,I have two sets of model numbers. One set is the full model numbers of the units we use, and the other is an abbreviated form used to lookup up certificate numbers. I need a way to match these up so I can use one set of search criteria to find out if there is a match. Here is an example of what I need to match with a partial text match:
H,AE35(6,9)36+TD and AE3563636D145C2501AP
H,RE36(6,9)36 and RE36936C145B2505AP
if I could do this with a formula that matches multiple items at the same time (ie; if A & B & C match=true) with the above model number being one of those items (certificate numbers are issued for sets, but the other model numbers are fine).If that's not possible, a one time VBA run to match all of the abbreviations at once would also work. If these items are matched up with a one time VBA, the VBA needs to account for their being more than one match for each abbreviation depending on the size of the unit.
So H,AE35(6,9)36+TD could be matched to:
AE3563636D145C2501AP
AE3563636D175C2501AP
AE3563636D210C2501AP
I am trying to identify matches for company names I have in columns A and H.
I originally used =IF( $A3<>$H3,"No Match","Match")
The issue is that not all of the company names in column A contain "INC","LLC", "CORP", etc. So, I am not capturing all of the matches.
Example:
Column A: American Eagle Outfitters
Column H: American Eagle Outfitters INC
Is it possible to write a formula with the logic that IF A3 and H3 both contain "American Eagle Outfitter" then "Match" or "No Match"?
1. Search an excel sheet "column" for a particular type of text and insert values based on that text (if found) in another column.
e.g I have column A1 to A10 with different types of text. I would like to search for the keyword "Risk is high" OR "Risk=High" for each cell in the column and insert a "1" if found beside it's corresponding "B" column. If not found, I would like to insert a "0".
So, if the text "Risk is high" OR "Risk=High" was only found in A6, I would like B6 to be "1". Rest of the values in the B column would be "0's", since the text was not found in any of the other cells.
I have a macro which imports data from a mainframe dump text file and performs 'Text to Columns' on the imported data so that formula in the spreadsheet can act on the data. The code works perfectly well when I use it, but if a different user logs on and performs exactly the same mainframe dump and import macro the Text to Columns action splits the raw data in a different way and the result is that the split renders the formulae useless.
I've experimented a little and for some reason it appears that the 'Field Info' parameters which are produced when the Text to Columns function is recorded in a macro differ between users even though the raw data is exactly the same.
FieldInfo:= _
Array(Array(0, 1), Array(18, 1), Array(35, 1), Array(56, 1), Array(70, 1), Array(88, 1), _
Array(102, 1))
I've got 2 sheets. Sheet 1 is where I am inputting all the products I'm producing and giving them serial numbers, if I produce the same part twice the name of the part is the same but the serial number changes. It looks something like this...
Sheet 1:
A
B
C
1
Part Produced
Serial Number
[code]....
While Sheet 1 is constantly been filled with the parts being made with their individual serial numbers. Sheet 2 is constantly being filled with the incoming orders, But only the A Column of Sheet 2 is being changed... as an order comes in I simply type into sheet 2 what product the customer is looking for.
The problem I am having is that as I write in that another "handle" for example as been ordered into sheet 2, my normal MATCH forumla is bringing up the same Serial Number "1001" over and over again. Really I'm wanting the "B" column to update to the next available serial number, so for example "1002"
Sheet 2... as it's coming out right now (wrong)...
A
B
1
Part Ordered By Customer
Serial Number
2
Handle
1001
[code]....
The formula will need to go into Sheet 2 'B' Column, and I'd like it to come out looking like this...
A
B
1
Part Ordered By Customer
Serial Number
2
Handle
1001

In column 1 are 220,000 words (that's a lot ), every words corresponds to a number between 1 and 13 in column 2. Now i want to recode texts (column 2) using the codes in columns 1 and 2. I could insert all text in one cell, or i could insert each word in one cell. Then I want to calculate the sum of the corresponding values (column 2) of all the words (column 1) for each time they occur in the text (column 3). In other words, i want to recode text to numbers and i want to calculate their sum.

Here is what I have so far:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Red",A9:A56))),B9:B56,L9:L56)/SUMPRODUCT(--(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Red",A9:A56))),B9:B56)
So in column A is the text string i.e Big Red Chiquita Apple
Column B is the dollar value
Column C is another variable.
If I want to find "Red" and "Apple" ONLY within same cell. What would be my best bet?
I have 570 records in one sheet and 330 on the other one. They are the same data and I want to match them but i have been doing so manually because in the one w/ 330 there are missing values, so I have been copying and pasting but takes too long. The 570 is complete, i took it from the census data and the 330 is not.
I want to be able to match them in the same row including missing values so I can use it in ArcGIS

Please help me get VLOOKUP to match only part of the text. I have the following situation:
In "sheet1":
___A________________B______C
1__USER3 (12346ar)___0______411 PCS
2__USER2 (45676ad)___0______313 PCS
3__USER5 (456ff)______0______112 PCS
4__USER8 (1246ew)____0______515 PCS
In "sheet2":
___A_________B________C______D
1__USER8____0_________0______=VLOOKUP(A1,'SHEET1'!$A:$C,3,0)*5
In "sheet2" , D1 I'll get #N/A if I do not type the complete name ( USER8 (1246ew) ). Is there a way to ignore this part " (1246ew)" and match only the name of the user?
Also when matching "515 PCS" can it automatically remove the " PCS" part so I can use only the number to make calculations?

I have a long list of categories in the column A (seen below). To this list i want to assign keys that will support with further calculations (in a column B).
An example of such a key would be in the case of the given example "ACTION SPORTS" and "FOOTBALL". The whole list of these "keys" hast 17 elements.
It is evident that i will need some kind of a partial match. The one i have found on the internet, limittin itself just on the first or last number of characters wont work.
Would it be possible to select my "key - list" (all 17 of them). Then excel would asign a key, whenver it would find a partial match, matching the key?

I have about 70K rows of data. This is a pull from a CRM system and one of the columns contains Free text which may or may not contain a reference ID.
So basically, I need to be able to identify which (if any) of the 60 or so Reference ID appears somewhere in the text. It may be at the beginning, somewhere in the middle or at the end.
So i created two formulas:
=ISNUMBER(SEARCH("MEBIG3",$P:$P))
I created 60 or so of these columns, all with a different Reference ID (MEBIG3 being the ID in this instance). I put the Reference ID in the Cell 1 of each of the columns. I then got a True in the cells wherever I matched the Ref ID to in the description field.
I then created another column with this:
=IF(AO4=TRUE,$AO$1,IF(AP4=TRUE,$AP$1,IF(AQ4=TRUE,$AQ$1,IF(AR4=TRUE,$AR$1,IF(AS4=TRUE,$AS$1,
IF(AT4=TRUE,$AT$1,IF(AU4=TRUE,$AU$1,IF($AV$2=TRUE,AV3,IF($AW$2=TRUE,$AW$1,IF(AX4=TRUE,$AX$1,
IF(AY4=TRUE,$AY$1,IF(AZ4=TRUE,$AZ$1,IF(BA4=TRUE,$BA$1,IF(BB4=TRUE,$BB$1,IF(BC4=TRUE,$BC$1,
IF(BD4=TRUE,$BD$1,IF(BE4=TRUE,$BE$1,IF(BF4=TRUE,$BF$1,IF(BG4=TRUE,$BG$1,IF(BH4=TRUE,$BH$1,
[Code] ........
So wherever there was a True, it returned the Cell at the top of the column which has the Ref ID in it. I put a pivot table and it worked, but the problem is that Excel just can't really handle the number of calculations. The file keeps crashing and becoming corrupt (There are 70K rows, times 60 or so columns). Also I have actually run out of columns I can add in the nesting, I really need more.
Any way of doing the whole piece of analysis all in one Cell. So basically it says "If ADM1 appears anywhere in Column P return ADM1, If ADM2 appears anywhere in Column P return ADM2 and so on".

However this only finds the first instance on "Total - content targeting". My speadsheet contains several of these which i need to add up.

In the four rows of text below I'm trying to match each gas stick to its corresponding gasline.
I think I can count over to "GAS STICK" and get the number. <15> From that point I can count over to "," (comma) and get that number. <26> So the gas stick will be between the first number and one less than the second number. <GAS STICK 1>
I need completing this code to place a the line or stick number in a cell B of the same row. Column A would have the description and column B of the same row would either be "1" or "11" respectively. Column C would be the shortened description (GAS STICK 1).

I'm currently trying to get a Index Match function that finds a cell with given text in it, then returns a value that corresponds to a cell with that same text plus the word 'Sum'. I cannot use the offset function because the Sum cell appears at the end of an expense breakdown, and each category has different numbers of expense items.
Is there an easy way to do this?
with Match function not matching text in this formula?
Using the below formula cell $L$11 (it contains "abc") will not match the respective cell contents in array E:E even though "abc" is in a cell within column E.
=IFERROR(INDEX('Paste In Data File'!G:G,MATCH($L$11,IF('Paste In Data File'!C:C=B14,'Paste In Data File'!E:E),0)),"")
The cells within column E are populated using a formula such as =IF(MID(A6,3,1)="a",MID(A6,435,9),"")
Column A is the data source and contains a text string.
After much trial and error, it seems the cause preventing the match is; $L$11 contains typed in text "abc" and the above formula for column E is pulling in 9 characters, not just 3.
It seems that if I can modify the entry for the array E:E to just look at the left 3 characters only, it may work.Problem is I do not know how to modify E:E accordingly.
