how to write a search and replace macro, but instead of writing:
Cells.Replace "OldText", "NewText"
how to independently read this "search" text into a string (hopefully a string that can handle 'more' than 255 characters per cell, even in Excel 2000) then replacing that search text("OldText") with ("NewText") step-by-step?
("OldText" can appear multiple times in one cell)
On the worksheet, I need to find wherever the cell value begins '2 X 4 ...' in column L, and then replace the cell value in the same row, in column K, with '113010'. In my attempts, my code just changes the first occurrence, not all occurrences.
I want to use VBA to do this.
Here's my code so far:
Sub Update_Product_IDs()
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
Dim i As Integer, iCount As Integer
Dim numberOfPMDs As Integer
Dim PMD_Name As Integer
Dim worksheetName As String
Dim worksheets_in_file As Integer
worksheets_in_file = Worksheets.Count
worksheetName = Worksheets(2).Name
numberOfPMDs = worksheets_in_file - 1
Range B3:B1000 is text strings. Column C2:C50 is a list of words that I would like to "Find" in Column B and replace with it's lowercase values unless they start off the string.
Example
Find all occurences of And or AND and replace with and
Find all occurences of With or WITH and replace with with.
Find all occurences of Or or OR and replace with or
I am having problems with a macro I wrote that basically fills things in two columns based on a set of values from other columns.
Lets say it looks like this (column B is based on column A):
A1 = Hi
A2 = Hello
A3 = Hi
A4 = Hello
A5 = Hi
A6 = Hello
A7 =
A8 = Hi
A9 = Hello
A10 = Bye
After the macro runs, column B should look like this:
B1 = 10%
B2 = 20%
B3 = 10%
B4 = 20%.............
is there a formula or a way to return a unique entry in a column if a value is present in another cell? refer attachment; if their is a value in column C (site A) return the entry in column B but only if it is unique, ie. return supplier 'DEF' only once irrespective of the amount of times the value appears under the site heading.

Trying to repeat a 550 or so character statement with a find/replace however I am getting type mismatch errors. When I use a smaller message in the "replace" it works.
I need it to post a message exactly as long as what I have in there. How do I get it to work?
I have an existing Cash Flow Report that has a column of abbreviated/shortened (WBS Element) title where each cell contains a unique three lettered/numbered amount of characters (Example: 200). These three abbreviated character cells are specific and relate to their full/longer (SAP WBS Element) title (Example: WBS DWRRI-BW066-200).
In my attached excel model (Find, Locate, and Align WBS Elements to Cash Flow Report.xlsx), I need a formula for the, "Cash Flow Report WBS Elements" sheet in cells B3 thru B11 that will look at the abbreviated three lettered/numbered (WBS Element) titles in cells C3 thru C11, then search and recognize its unique counterpart contained in the, "SAP WBS Elements Export" sheet and return this full/longer (SAP WBS Element) title to the, "Cash Flow Report WBS Elements" sheet in cells B3 thru. B11, just to the left of its abbreviated/shortened (WBS Element) title.

I am trying to find specific text throughout an excel document (2007) and replace it with the same text but in italics. I tried using the options/format function and selecting italics for the "replace" text but it replaces the entire cell text in italics instead.

I need to search that listing and each time the word BIRD is mentioned have it replaced with FEATHERS and each time DOG is listed have it replaced with TAILS Final result would look like:
FEATHERS

All other text should stay the same and replacement text should appear in the cell of the text it is replacing. This is a sheet used by multiple people several times a day and so the Find/Replace option really won't work.
Have working on this for at least 6 months and it just isn't going to happen for me. I thought I could use a Conditional format, but that is producing no results either.
Structure:
I have a worksheet with the cells in one of the columns having html tags inside of each cell.
The tags vary by location within the cell and there are anywhere from 0-10 tags per cell.
Column A is the text string. Inside these cells are the tags. The tags are of form
<A href="/mortgagecenter/article_alias">
The
<A href="/mortgagecenter/
and
">
parts are true for every instance of this string....
....article_alias is a variable per each string. I have columns B and C which are the aricle_alias names and article_ID's, respectively.
What I am trying to do:
From the [quote]<A href="/mortgagecenter/article_alias">[quote]
I would need to replace the
article_alias
portion with
ArticleID&"-"&article_alias
Trying to Find a specific word and Replace with another within a textbox ( created from the drawing tool, as well as the control toolbar) The textboxes contain loads of text information.
as an example
The word "Apple" to be replaced with "Orange"

Sub ReplaceTextBoxText()
Dim sTextBox As Shape
Dim wSheet As Worksheet
Set wSheet = Sheets.Add()
For Each sTextBox In Sheet1.Shapes

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am importing content control information in a word file into excel by using a macro in excel. The information is coming across nicely but when the information about a checkbox comes across, in excel, that's what you see, a checkbox (☠or ☒). Is there any way (formula or vba) to replace all the checkboxes with a yes or a no?
I wrote a formula that works:
Code:
=IF(G8="☒","YeS","nO")
But this will add this information to a new column and I would like to replace the information in the existing column (the form has about 200 checkboxes) and I don't want to add a bunch of new columns.
I also toyed with VBA:
Code:
Range("G1:G100").Replace "&", "No"
But when I try to paste the ☠in the vba code, I get a "?" so I am assuming it doesn't recognize the ☠as a valid character.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI want to find strikethrough text and replace it with blanks. In my sheet there are cells that contain both strikethrough and normal text. I tried using the 'Find and replace' tool, specifying the format. I've attached a picture with the settings from the Replace window.
The problem is that Excel finds the cells that contain strikethrough text, but replaces with blank ALL the cell content. I would like to replace only the strikethrough text from the cell and leave the normal text as it is!
I work at a club. I've got a spreadsheet sent to me from another club we do business with. On it are charges from their club to ours that list the charge and associated member number.
I'm trying to use the text to columns feature to separate the member number from the other data in the column so I can sort by member number making it easier for us to bill our members.
Here is a sample of the data:
"Beach Club Bar,b500"
"Beach Club Bar,s200"
"Beach Club Bar,a150"
When I try to use text to columns what happens using the comma as a deliminator, everything including and after the comma disappears.
Thinking that maybe I needed a space between the comma and the member number (in the first line b500 is the member number) I tried to use find and replace to replace , with , and a space after it. This also resulted in all of the data including and after the comma disappearing. I'm sure I'm missing something here.
I tried copying the data into a separate spreadsheet. Tried changing it to text or general.
I typed in the exact data as you see it and tried the text to column function and it worked perfectly. What could be hidden in the data in that column that's causing this?
Please refer to attached file.

I need to replace a full column with a certain word. It needs to start at a specific cell and needs to replace the full column until it hits an empty cell. I can't do a find and replace because the words in that column are all different words.
For example:
I need it to replace all of column F starting at F2 with a specific word and it needs to keep replacing until it hits an empty cell.
I have 4 columns in which is text combined with numbers (Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet t-shirt LPW01-B consectetur adipiscing.) I need to search every column and cells in them for a word/string which is written in R2 and replace the word in every cell by the word in S2
So for example, in R2 is "t-shirt" and in S2 is "potato"
The program finds the entry: "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet t-shirt LPW01-B consectetur adipiscing." and replace it with "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet potato LPW01-B consectetur adipiscing."

Is there a way to Find & Replace Multiple Cells that contains the same text.
For example:
Cell A1 contains: Brand Stanley Stock No. ASJK12311
Cell A2 contains: Brand Facom N/A 5456chis

I have a VBA that opens a word document where I have a standard text, and some of the words are ment to change depending on who customer we have in mind.
It seems a bit unstable, sometimes it takes half of the words, if I add a sign like a comma after the word it seems to catch them better and manage to replace them.
Right now it doesn't change any of the words....
This is is:
Code:
Option Explicit
'the document

I need some vba coding which will find and replace text on a worksheet. This would normally be straight-forward, however some text needs to be replaced by text which already occurs in the worksheet, and without it changing as well (if Find/Replace can perform two Find/Replaces at the same time???).
Here is the detail and what I am trying to accomplish: I have two worksheets each with a table of data.Worksheet 1 has a lookup table with three columns of data (column a and b are lists, with c being a formulated column which is dependent on the user selecting either column a name or column b name). I have done this easily enough using data validation on cell $C$1.Worksheet 2 has a user input table which column 3 is a dropdown validation using the named range "UsedName" from Worksheet 1.
I want the selected dropdown names to automatically change when the user changes Old Name to New Name (and vis-versa) on Worksheet 1.The list of values in the data validation dropdown list change well enough, but not any of the existing returned values. When I tried to use vba coding to Find & Replace, I run into issues because (Substanital and Important) are used in both instances, but at different levels with different matched names Important/Relevant.
Worksheet 1
A B C D
1 Cell with dropdown list New Names
2 (Old Names, New Names)
3
4 Old Names New Names Names Level
5 Equal Equivalent Equivalent 1
6 Dominant Critical Critical 2
7 Important Substantial Substantial 3
8 Substantial Major Major 4
9 Relevant Important Important 5
10 Minor Irrelevant Irrelevant 6
formula for column C =IF($C$1="Used Names", A5, B5)
column C is name ranged "Names
Worksheet 2
(Worksheet 2 has another table which has various data. One column which is a drop down list being pulled from Worksheet 1)
A B C D
1 Bob 25% Critical 19
2 Frank 60% Important 33
3 Ellen 40% Substantial 5
4 Ellen G 20% Substantial 12
5 Gary 55% Equivalent 100
6 Jo 50% Major 8
7 Peter 40% Important 22
8 Kim 12% Equivalent 30
9 Shelley 75% Substantial 15
10 John 75% Critical 90
so I want column C to automatically change from these New Names to the corresponding Old Name of the same level. So Critical would become Dominant, Important would become Relevant and Substantial would become Important.
