Nesting Isnumber Search Functions
May 25, 2007
I have this search function that works well: =IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("which is < ",E9)),"test ok", "not ok") my E9 cell contains the phase: "I have a number which is < 9, and which is positive..." E9 has "which is < ", then i get back "test ok"
My question is.... how can I do this multiple times within the same function/cell. i.e. if I wanted to search "which is < " and/or "positive" in the same cell, then i get back "test ok", "positive number") I keep trying all combinations to no avail, like: =IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("which is < ",E9)),"test ok", "not ok"), =IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("positive",E9)),"positive number", "no good")
Keep in mind I am using a numeric example, although I am using this function to check if part of a cell matches specific text...

I am using the ISNUMBER formula to verify if specific text is found in a string of text.
This formula worked when I only needed to find 1 particular brand name:
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(""BrandB"",RC[6])),""B"",""C"")
Now I need to have 2 different brand names ("BrandB" and "J & B") that need to return a "B" and all others should return a "C".
I found a thread regarding this same topic, but I could not get their solution to work for me.
They recommended using:
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("BrandB",RC[6])),"B","C")&", "&IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("J & B",RC[6])),"B","C")
The fact that my second brand name is written with spaces ("J & B") could be adding to the problem, I don't know. I thought replacing the "C" with another "IF(ISNUMBER" function should work, but I have been unsuccessful at writing a formula that doesn't cause run-time errors.

I am trying to create code that deletes lines in a spreadsheet when the first column is either blank or has text in it. However, when writing the VBA code, ISNUMBER and ISTEXT do not work. Amazingly, ISBLANK does work.

I am trying to add up a specfic column in Excel based on the parameters or two different ones.
I.e If Col B is blank and Col D is 03 then add up the value in Col P
But I can't seem to work out how to do it, I have tried conditional sums and everything else I can think of, but it is still not working.

I am trying to create a formula with mutiple criterias to come back with results of whether that person is Eligible or Not Eligible for stock. The criteria to be Eligible is as follows:
1) Hire Date before 1st March 2007
2) Band 1 and the performance review = Exceeded
3) If Band 2-5 then performance review must be either Achieved or Exceeded
See attached file for the example. I have got as far as the first 2 points but i am struggling with incorporating the last point.

I' having trouble using the =IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH formula to search multiple cells.
I can get it to work to search one cell (as below):
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Same",G10)),"No Change",'Aug 09 Matrix'!F10)
(In this case the respone is No Change as Cell G10 contains "Same")
However cannot get it to work for several cells. I have pasted below and highlighted the function I would like it to perform:
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Same",G10:R10)),"No Change",'Aug 09 Matrix'!F10)
Essentially the other cells in that row (G10:R10) all contain "Same", however for some reason it is identifying this as FALSE and putting in the data from the 'Aug 09 Matrix' sheet.

I've followed several tips on how to match these formulas, but somehow cannot make them work. I'm using Open office's version of excel. I need a formula that searches on 'tension downfall' for data in the first sheet, and then return a value corresponding to the row and column that match the input on the first sheet.
'tension downfall' shows a double entry table which shows amperage against length and returns a wire size. I would like to input amperage and length on two different cells and have the wire size needed for those values. Is it clear enough? I'm attaching my current work to make it a little bit clearer.

I need to create an 'IF' function that nests four EOMONTH functions.
The following throws an error:
=IF(D12="1st month goes here",EOMONTH(D7,2),if(D12="2nd month goes here",EOMONTH(D7,3),if(D12="3rd month goes here",EOMONTH(D7,5)))
EOMONTH will increase the date in the resultant cell accordingly.

Is it possible to nest the two functions of match & offset. I am working with two worksheets. One is a constant the other is building. I want to match a text from the first spreadsheet in the second sheet (otherwords I want to find that exact within the other spreadsheet) then I want to retreive the offset value to the right of the matched cell and place it in the constant worksheet where the formula is.
For Example
Sheet 1 Sheet2
Company: First Name: Company: Name:
Adamack's ? Adamack's Patrick
So if I put the formula where the ? mark is, I want to match the first company name on sheet 1, from the range in sheet 2, then I want to get the offset from that match 0,1 to give me the name patrick.

I'm trying to develop a formula that can incorporate the search function in amongst a countifs formula. I have a column that contans the string "2.3 Manage Project Delivery" in a single cell. However, a single cell could also contain this text string in amongst other text and be in there multiple times - E.G; "2.1 Manage Customer Support, 2.3 Manage Project Delivery, 2.4 Close Program, 2.3 Manage Project Delivery" etc
My formula currently looks like this: =COUNTIFS('RDC Register'!$AW:$AW,"Not Overdue",'RDC Register'!$C:$C,"2.3 Manage Project Delivery") but it's not counting the cells that have 2.3 Manage Project Delivery in it more than once.
So basically I need to modify my formula to search for this text string in the cell and add all occurrences to the final count.

Is there any excel-addin which offers function in which you could search any excel function (not just formula) so that you could access any function in a seconds, just like google desktop search for windows.
Right now you could use quick access for most common functions you use and shortcuts for functions in different group. But if there is universal search for all the functions, it is going to be faster for any access!

I came across a userform which was perfect for my needs, as I only had to create additional fields, which I did and have attached. However, since I have more than 10 fields, I was getting an error with respect to the listbox function, where it stated that the list property could not be found. I gathered from the searches I did, that this is the max limit for this particular function. I have been unsuccessful in finding a solution, partly because I don't know very much and I'm not understanding how to incorporate some of these solutions into the vba code. I've created simple userforms before, but this one is a little more advanced than my current capabilities.

I have an excel file with a large amount of employee data in it and want to create a search facility that will run on variable search functions and display the information on the screen
I want to be able to enter variable search functions as follows:
Employee Number; shows all information on employee
Division: shows all employees in division (possible from a list of all divisions)
Appraisal Eligibility : Applicable shows all the applicable employees
Job Role: shows all the employees with the same job role (possibly from a drop-list of all roles)
I know its easier in Access, but all records in Excel as a legacy and don't have time to create an access database currently.

Trying to grasp the concept of using these 3 functions to search for and return values from a data sheet.
The attached spread sheet has performance data for a group of employees.
What I need to do is find a particular employee then return a value for one of the category's.
For instance, I need to find "10TE03 ANGIE HOLLIS" Parts Usage on color or cell C10 in the attached sample.
Sometimes new category's are added to column A adding to the number of rows so a simple offset is not reliable.
Once I get that working, I then need to use a named range to total and average different data points for groups of employees by teams.
Maybe Offset-Index-Match is not even the way to go here?

Im using ISNUMBER in a spreadsheet to automatically add a ref number to an entry in the spreadsheet, this is based on the value of a set column. To give you an idea the values are bus services, i.g. 6, 123, 56 etc, when the column has a bus service number entered it auto produces a ref number.
Now the problem is now some service numbers have letters in e.g. X14 X12 36A etc, now these are not recognised and therefore no ref number is given, is there a way of changing my formula to recognise this.
The formula at the moment is as follows
In the ref column (which is locked) =IF(V4=1,COUNTIF($V$3:V4,V4),"")
In column V (which is locked and hiden) =IF(ISNUMBER(D4),1,"""")

The following formula:
=IF(ISNUMBER(F35)="TRUE","",IF(ISNUMBER(E35)="TRUE","X",IF(ISNUMBER(D35)="TRUE","XX","XXX")))
is returning XXX when copied down, where I expected it to return XXX as well as XX, X and " ".
Has anyone got a clue what I'm missing (might be a friday afternoon thing...).

I am faced with the daunting assignment of adjusting a payroll report using infrequently exercised logical expressions. I've been careful to try and build my formula adjustments in intermediate steps, so I could test the results, but I can't seem to get past a dual test. I need to create a commission calculation if there are no values in the two columns immediately left of my active cell,col N79, i.e., if L79 OR M79 contain a value, then do nothing, otherwise, multiply contents of G79 * the commission rate contained in named cell "Split3".
This formula works on a single column test:
=IF(ISNUMBER(M79)," ",G79*Split3)
But I can't seem to construct a formula to test both column cells. I have tried this unsuccessfully:
=IF(OR(ISNUMBER(L79),ISNUMBER(M79)," "),G79*Split3)
The above formula is accepted, but I get: #VALUE, with the explanation:
"A value used in the formula is the wrong data type"

I need to create a formula (Sumproduct) that will look at two criteria then total a third column IF the value in the cell of the third column is a number.
The sumproduct will look at one range A1:A100 and see if it matches initials in cell D1, and it will look at the year in column B1:B100 and see if it matches the year in D2. Then it should total the amount in column C1:C100. But the column C to be totaled includes both dollar values and “N/A”. So If I use something like:
=SUMPRODUCT((A1:A100=D1)*(B1:B100=D2)*(C1:C27))
I get the #NAME? I believe because some of the values are N/A instead of numbers. So can I say something like:
=SUMPRODUCT((A1:A100=D1)*(B1:B100=HD2)*(ISNUMBER(C1:C100)*(C1:C2100)))
(I know this probably isn’t even close, but I hope you can see what I want to do)
I know I can create a separate column to show only the dollar values from column C and use the sumproduct to total that column, but is there a why to skip that step?

Can anyone identify the error in my looping? My IsNumber(f) is not working. If I enter a string, an error message will pop up, but if I enter a number (e.g 4 or -4), the same error message pops up too...what can I do?
I cant really set the inputbox to Type:=1, because I want this inputbox to be optional to the user, i.e If user does not enter anything, it will return a 2.
Sub frequency2()
'Get the frequency of coupon payments per year
frequency = Application.InputBox("Please enter the frequency of the coupon payments", _
"Frequency of the coupon payments", , , , , 1)
'If c = 0 Then 'If it is a zero-coupon bond, set the frequency of coupon payments to 0
'frequency1 = 0
'Debug.Print frequency1
'ElseIf frequency = False Then
'frequency1 = 0
'Else
frequency1 = determinefrequency(frequency)
Debug.Print frequency1
'End If
End Sub
' This function automatically sets the value 2 to the Frequency of Coupon Payment of the Bond if the user
' did not enter anything when prompted.
' It also validates if the user entered negative numbers
Function determinefrequency(Optional ByVal f As Variant) As Variant
Dim testt As Boolean
Do
' If values have been entered into the inputbox and
' the userinput is a number
If Len(f) > 0 And WorksheetFunction.IsNumber(f) Then

formula to check a range for any text entires by error.
Example: I have a range of numbers on column A1:A1000, at the end of this range on A1001, I have been trying to use the following formula...
=isNumber(A1:A1000)
if like on A7 it had "525a" instead of "525".

I have a problem with isnumber giving me two different results. One time it will evaluate the following as true:
ISNUMBER(0)
and in the same sheet it will evaluate the same as false.
I need ISNUMBER to NOT recognise "0" as a number all the time.

I've been trying to use excel's Isnumber or Istext function to evaluate a range of cells, but have been unsuccesful so far. Is it even possible? or is the formula just restricted to evaluating only single cells?
For example, if I do, Isnumber(A1:A10), is there any way to make that work?

the attached document. I wish to try and conditionally format Sheet1!D:D depending on if Sheet2!E:E displays a particular letter, when; Matching Sheet1!A:A to Sheet2!A:A Matching Sheet1!B:B if <11 to Sheet2!B:B where cell equals text "Small (7-10)" if Sheet1!B:B is >10 then where Sheet2!B:B equals text "Mid - Large (11-16)"
Matching Sheet1!C:C if cell contains "Hcap" to Sheet2!C:C where cell equals "Handicaps". If Sheet1!C:C doesnt contain "Hcap" match to Sheet2!C:C where cell equals "All Races".
To use an example, if E:E in the cell adjacent to all the matches above equals N then the cell in Sheet1!D:D turns red. Cell D52 would become red. D88, D91, D92, D93 and D96 would also become red. Here was my attempt at the formula, no idea if I was close to the answer.
