Position Of A String In A Range Of Cells

Apr 24, 2006

why this code only works till the first assignment?:

Dim pos As String

Sheets("Sheet1").Select

pos = Range("A1"). Find("John").Address
pos = Range("A1").Find("Mary").Address
pos = Range("A1").Find("Peter").Address

In the second assigment

pos = Range("A1").Find("Mary").Address

I get a "Object Variable or with block variable not set" error message.

Find Position Of Various Characters In String

Jul 11, 2014

Is it possible to find the location of different characters in a string (using VBA)? Normally I would use InStr of InStrRev option in VBA but my situation is a little more complicated.

The character I am looking for is not always the same, sometimes it is a , or a . or a : or a "blank" etc

I tried to do it like:
dim strChar as string
strChar = "[,.? /]"

SearchPosition = InStr ("cell location", strChar) (searchposition is the name of the function I am trying to make)

This works if I define only 1 character, this way it gives me a 0 as outcome

I have tried to change it to strChar = "[,]" or strChar = "[.]" or strChar = "[ ]" but this doesn't work.

Searching Through A String For Position Of 1st Non-Zero Digit

Sep 1, 2009

I have a text string in a cell, something like:

000024AC1011.

I need to find a way to find the first nonzero character in the string, and what position it is in. For instance, in the above example, 2 is the first non-zero character, so the function would return 5, since the 2 is the fifth character into the string.

Position Of Last Occurrence Of Character In String

Jun 29, 2008

on the web I've found this formula, which returns the postion of the last occurrence of the character in cell B1 in the string in cell A1:

=MAX((MID(A1,ROW(INDIRECT("A1:A"&LEN(A1))),1)=B1)*ROW(INDIRECT("A1:A"&LEN(A1))))

How do I turn this into a VBA function?

VBA - Extract Part Of A String According To Position / Markers

Sep 11, 2012

I have been confronted with an issue that has bugged me: Now do I extract a part of the string according to lets say "markers"?

Here is what I mean:

I use the code below to get the bottom range of my tables:

Code:

blimit = Activecell.Address

I haven't had problems because my tables were small, then I would:

Code:

blimit = Right(blimit, 3)

If the table was small there was no problem, since lets say the Activecell.Address = "$C$123", resulting in blimit = 123.

My how do I extract a part of the string, knowing I have 2 "$" ? That way I would make a version of this that always works.

I cannot use FIND or any formulas I am aware of since they all start counting from Right to Left... I thought of using Replace() to get the first "$" and change it for something else like "-" then looking for the second "$". But Replace() basically changes both signs... making my idea... well obsolete...

Position Flashing Cursor At The End Of String In Textbox

Oct 15, 2013

I have a choice of 9 command buttons on a form that enter a short string of text into a textbox. Each button enters a different string into the textbox. The string is the prefix to a product serial number. Once the user has clicked the button & entered his preferred prefix I would like the cursor to be flashing after the last character ready for the user to manually type in the remainder of the product serial number. I'm guessing (with my limited ability) that I have to create a function to do this & then call the function when the button is clicked ?

Count Number Of Blank Cells In Range Starting And Ending Will Cells That Match String Values

May 13, 2013

I'm trying to develop a new daily timesheet for my production workers, where non-production items are recorded in 15 minute intervals. The user would put in "Clock in" by the corresponding time, and the same for "Clock out" at the end of the day. Any non-production items will be type in next to their appropriate time. Since clock in and clock out times will vary, I need to set up a formula that searches the array of cells for the day, finds the "Clock in" and "Clock out" values, and counts any blank cells in between them. Basically the blank cells will equal production time, and the result of the Count function will be multiplied by 0.25 to get the hours.

I am having a very difficult time finding a way to set the "Clock in" and "Clock out" cells as the range for the Count function, because it won't always be the same cells. What would be the best way to automatically have excel find the cells containing these values and set them as the range criteria for a Count function?

The formula at the bottom was one of my initial attempts, but it didn't work. I took out the '=' for the screenshot, so that wasn't the problem.

Joining A Range Of Cells Into A String

Dec 16, 2008

I feel like I should be be able to do something like Join(Range(XX)," ") to create a space-separated string of values...

Have I missed an easy one-liner, versus one by one concatenating the value from each cell?

In this case, I am doing exactly that - taking 4 columns of more or less unimportant data and cramming them into a single column just in case they are needed someday.

Sub Test()
Dim strTemp As String

strTemp = _
Range("C2").Value & " " & _
Range("D2").Value & " " & _
Range("E2").Value & " " & _
Range("F2").Value
'//Result: strTemp = "a b c d"

'//This fails - is it possible to do something like this
strTemp = Join(Range("C2:F2"), " ")

End Sub

How To Search For Duplicates In A String Across A Range Of Cells

Apr 7, 2009

if I have a column of 5 cells (E1-E5) that contain a single character, how would I search a range of columns and rows (A1/5 - D1/5) with these?

So if E1-E5 each contain "1", i would like to return true when one (or more) of the A - D columns also contain "1" in each of its cells.

Columns A - D will contain a string of more than one character so it needs to search the string.

e.g.
E1 = 1
E2 = 1
E3 = 1
E4 = 1
E5 = 1 and
A1 = 123
A2 = 134
A3 = 142
A4 = 412
A5 = 213

I would like this to return true because the A cells do contain the values in the E cells.

I guess this is like looking for duplicates but with a search string twist!

Search For Part Of String In Range Of Cells

Jan 17, 2012

Following problem:

I have a list of changes on our bankaccount.

Sometimes, in the description a payment we receive the name of the person who transferred the amount is mentionned.

It can be anywhere in the string, it can be just his/her first name, it can be his/her full name...

I also have a list of all our clients with first name in column A, second name in column B

Something like this:

string from bancaccount:

EUROPESE OVERSCHRIJVING VAN BE16 6712 5615 7974 BANKIER OPDRACHTGEVER: EURBBE99 VANDERSMISSEN WILLY VAN PLAKSTRAAT 176 9000 GENT 68/10762827 PENSIOEN REFERENTIE: OV-0000236-00240

client list
Francois D'hondt
Germaine Canipel
Willy Vandersmissen
Karel D'hondt
.
.
.

I'd like VBA to search in the clientlist for names that occur in the bankaccount string.

Sice ther might be a lot of Willy's in the client lsit I think it will be best to serch for the combination of both first and second name.

Once found the name the procedure should return the rownumer on which the client can be found in the client list.

Search Range Of Cells For Alphanumeric String

Mar 5, 2010

I tried to find out how to post my table but the link in that thread lead me to a notice saying I wasn't allowed access to the page.)

Cells A2:G2 contain various alphanumeric strings.

If any cell contains "SD#" (# = a number which might include decimal places) then I want to extract the number.

If more than one cell contains "SD#", I want to add the numbers together. The total goes in cell C6 and it needs to change if the contents of A2:G2 change. E.g. if A2 shows SD4.75 and B2 shows SD8, the total in C6 would be 12.75

So I'm looking for a formula for C6....

Macro To Search String In A Range Of Cells And Replace While Leaving Original

Jul 25, 2014

So I was given the task to translate some procedure instructions in an Excel file from English to Spanish. These are very simple instructions and in most cases repetitive throughout the document. There are a lot of instances where the instructions are the same except for a #. They are meant to be modified within the cell as the text that appears in the cell will be printed exactly as it appears.There are several instructions in the cell, it is basically a long continuous string in the cell. My idea is to create a macro that can search that range of cells for the instruction, replace it with the Spanish equivalent while leaving the original English instruction in the cell.

Select Cell Range Relative To Starting Position

Mar 5, 2007

I need to change multiple conditional formats which apply to cell ranges 1 row x 17 columns wide. The specific change I am making is able to be acrried out with the code

With Selection.FormatConditions(1).Font
.ColorIndex = xlAutomatic
End With

However, I dont want the user to have to manually select each 17 cell area. I WANT THE USER TO JUST MANUALLY SELECT THE FIRST OF THE 17 CELL AREA. I want to write a macro that will THEN select a row of cells, 17 cells long, from the MANUALLY SELECTED position as at the moment of running the macro. Unfortunately the cells are not always on the same row in each sheet. On one sheet they may be on row 5, on another row 8 and on another, row 15 etc. I was wanting to be able to select a 17 cell range 'relative' to where the cursor is. How do I write the code to select the relative cell range? Is there an answer in an R[1]C[1]:R[1]C[17] sort of code?

Also is their an easy way to refer to the first(top-left) cell in a named range?

Return Cells Relative Position In A Category

Aug 1, 2008

I've got a list of story titles that are organized by genre, and I'd ultimately like to have a formula (not VBA) that automatically generates a "story id" based on the title's position within the genre (not the list overall). Here's a snippet of the list:

CREATE TABLES LIKE BELOW?IDGenreTitle
1.1GeneralTitle 1
1.2GeneralTitle 2
2.1Horror / SupernaturalTitle 3
2.2Horror / SupernaturalTitle 4
3.1Sci-FiTitle 5
3.2Sci-FiTitle 6

So what I'm looking for here is the formula that would give me the ID shown in the first column (I can modify it later for specific purposes). I've tried variations on the MATCH, INDEX, ROW, and VLOOKUP functions but just can't seem to get it quite right. Note: All the items in the Title column are unique - there are no duplicates.

Formula To Average Range Of Cells And Copying It To Calculate Next Range Of Cells?

Mar 17, 2014

I have a row data corresponding to the measuring of load cell per min and I need to average the values per hour. So I have a column B for the date (from 1-01-2013 to 31-01-2013, column C for the time (0:00:00 to 23:59:00), and D de values per min I want to average. I have to do the same for the rest of the month of 2013 (February, ...., December).

I would like to know if there is a way to create a formula to calculate the average of the first 60 values (to get the average of the first hour of 1-01-2013), and then copy it to get the average of the following 60 (average of the second hour in 1-01-2013) and so on.

If there is no way to do it, I would like to know if I can do it using functions like average, match, index, offset, what would be the best match of those functions.

I also tried it by doing the analysis in another tab and using the function "averageifs" with two criterias: one for the date (example 01-01-2013) and another one for the hour (example 0:00:00), but it didnt work, it show error: #value. I inserted an extra column in the data tab with just the hour (example 0:00:00) in front of the corresponding column with (example 0:01:00, 00:02:00, etc)
Equation I used for this:

=AVERAGEIFS('Data (min)'!D$6:D$43206,'Data (min)'!$A$6:$A$44646,A6,'Data (min)'!$B$6:$B$44646,B6)
=AVERAGEIFS(TAB AND COLUMN WHERE THE RAW DATA IS,RANGE OF CRITERIA 1,CRITERIA 1,RANGE CRITERIA 2,CRITERIA 2)
