Return All Row Numbers That Have Given Value Written Somewhere Inside Text In Column B
Jul 24, 2013
By "Return all row numbers that have a given value written somewhere inside text in their column B" I mean....
I want to be able to search an alphanumeric value "ABC12345" within a column that has a paragraph of text written in each row, I want to know which rows have this value written somewhere in them and have it return 2,4,33, as row 2 and 4 and 33 have this value in them inside column B on that row.
on column A i have the respective row numbers all the way down ie: ( 1,2,3,4, etc) (to pull up the row numbers)(unless you have a better way)
On Column B i have the paragraphs of text to search in (there is lots of text and spaces in the paragraphs.)
On column C i have the value to look for... ie: ABC12345 (different values in each row of column C) to be compared to all of column B
On column D would be the formula to Pull down and get the results.
and something tells me you might have a better way of getting the row numbers rather than having column A dedicated to numerating each row 1,2,3,etc
1
paragraphs of text
look for
it's found in row #

anything can be written here and might have ABC11112

I am extracting data from a website to excel 2010. my problem is the data contains both text, numbers, and sometimes a combination of both.
e.g. hi im ron for more information you can reach me at 6 five 6 four 5 seven 7 three 2 two..
I need it to look like this 6564577322 or 7 * 0 * 2 * 4 * 5 * 6 * 8 * 6 * 2 * 1...i need to look look the same
How do i first format the numbers written in text into numbers and then show only the numbers in a cell minus the text?

Whilst I was searching through the channels on telly the other night I came across a 'Quiz Call' channel where you had to add ALL the number within a certain sum (see sample) Sixteen minus five times seven multiply by nine add twelve
You not only have to do the sum you also have to add in all the less obvious numbers like the Six within Sixteen, plus also all the Roman numbers in each word like the I, X, & IX within the sixteen. I've done a small example to show what I mean, but I don't have any idea how to create a formula that will add up all of all of the permitations of roman numerals within each word.

Is it possible to add text to individual cells which can be written over?
e.g. I would like A1 to have the background text of "slot 1"... Once user has inserted text then "slot 1" is removed... and when the user text is removed, "slot 1" reappears.

Is there any way to a column be filled automatically by what is written on others columns.
Example: If one of the cells A2 or B2 and C2 are Nonblank, fills automatically the cell H2 with "ABC2" And If some of the cells D2 and E2 are Nonblank fills the cell H2 with "DE2"

Column A consists of cells with a variety of five digit numbers. My formula needs to return a text value if numbers are present in column A, this is what I tried:
=if(A1="","Chassis") but it returns "False" instead of "Chassis".

I'm working on a spreadsheet with about 400 rows and 10 columns. All the numbers in the columns are formatted as text, which doesn't allow me to use AutoSum. I have selected the cells and formatted them as number with no decimals, but AutoSum still doesn't work because the formatting hasn't changed and they're still formatted as text. I know if I double click each cell, the cell changes the format from text to number, but that will take a lot of time to change 400 cells in each of the 10 columns. What can I do to quickly reformat the cells from text to number?

Say I have a certain range in excel from A1:C10. All of these cells contain one of three strings: Math, English, or Reading.
Given an input of ONE of these three (for example, a user can select "Reading"), the program should output ALL the row&column numbers of each occurrence of "Reading" in the range. Ideally, this would appear in a column.
Consider the following image that contains a sample range:

If "English" is the input, the output should be (in another column)
A1
A7
B3
C2
C3

I have a table with 4 columns where in column 3 I have part numbers and in column 4 I have the number sold. In column 3, the part sold can be listed several times with a different number sold in the column 3. What I need is code to go through the part numbers and return a total number sold for that part in a new column. I have sorted the table by part number, then by Column 1 which is for the date. The new total should go in the last column with the oldest date for that part.

I have two excel files.
File #1 is a varying length and has 4 columns with ID #s in Column A.
File #2 is a two column file that contains a list of ID #s in column A AND modified ID#s in column B.
I need to match the ID #s in column A from file# 1 to the list in column A of file#2 then replace ALL instances of the matching ID #s in column A of file#1, with the values found in column B of file #2.
I've tried using the substitute function but I could only replace one found ID at a time.

I have one column full of Item #s and Descriptions. I have another column that I want JUST the Item# in it.
For example:
Column 1:
Gyroscope REF#1234 Bike Thing
Column 2 Should Be:
1234
Column 1:
BallWall Bikes Ret# 12456 Helmet Thing
Column 2S hould Be:
12456
I don't know how to do this (I do know how to do VBA mildly, and I am pretty good with formulas). I also have a database of every Item# that could be in that cell.

I have a column (B) of randomly generated numbers 1-14, and am using this formula range to sort in descending order and return the relevant value from column (c).
=VLOOKUP(LARGE(B3:B20,1),B3:C20,2,) to =VLOOKUP(LARGE(B3:B20,14),B3:C20,2,)
Works great, except when a number is duplicated, (E.G. 14,13,13,12,11,10,10,9,8 etc). It then returns the first value from(C) repeated, and not the value from the second and subsequent duplicated reference numbers.

I have an excel work book that I want to extract certain info from Each tab where in the result tab I use this formula to get required data from another tab.
I has about 24 tab , in the 25th one i collect data from all previous , using below formula inside each cell to get
=INDEX('2014 wk12'!$C$1:$C$17,MATCH("Total LTD Result",'2014 wk12'!$A$1:$A$17,0))
Where 2014 wk12 is a tab name , so , it works fine
excel iss.png
What i want is t replace the sheet name which in previous example is 2014 wk12 with relative name in column A
The closest i have in mind is to make it as below ( it is not working ) so what shall be the working formula of the below
=INDEX('Tab name from Column A '!$C$1:$C$17,MATCH("Total LTD Result",'Tab name from Column A'!$A$1:$A$17,0))

I have around 10 buttons in a sheet and all the buttons have same macro. I am trying to extract the text inside the button which I click (and not the name of the button). How to do it using vba?
I have used the following:
buttontext =ActiveSheet.Shapes(Application.Caller).Text
buttontext =ActiveSheet.Shapes(Application.Caller).Caption
PS: When I used buttontext =ActiveSheet.Shapes(Application.Caller).Name there was no error but it gave the name of the button not the text inside it.

I am looking for a formula to return the column number of the array when a specific text is found, in this case the text is "Yes"
The Array will only ever be 5 cells beside each other in a row
for example, M4:Q4, will be as follows - No No No Yes No
I want a formula to look at these 5 cells and return the number 4 as that is where the "Yes" value is

I've been using a nice colorful spreadsheet to use to schedule rooms for an organization. Visually it has worked out well but now I need to automatically generate a 'report' using that data. So...
I want to scan each row of a table and create another table with that data transformed.
That is, scan each row and whenever I find any text in a cell I want to return that text (the room being used) as well as the row and column header information (who is starting to use that room and on what date). I've attached a jpeg to show the example.
Ideally, when I scan the row and find text to return the headers I'd like the row scan to also find when the fill color changes and return that column header, too as that that would be the date that the room stops being used.

I quickly put together an inventory form on our company server where employees can essentially just enter part numbers, quantities, and a few other things, rather than write everything out. So what might happen is, an employee puts together a list of 10 items with their respective quantities, but a few days later, another employee pulls up the spreadsheet and needs to add a few more of a part already listed. Protocol for the company is to do a separate line, rather than add it to the line where the item is already listed. What I am trying to do is, create a separate sheet within that workbook, that simply lists the part numbers, in order, with their total quantity. I have attached a basic spreadsheet showing what I would want, with a tab at the bottom labeled, "What I want."

I have used VBA to copy data from a sheet into some shapes. Some of these shapes are upside down and therefore the text is upside down. Is there a way to flip the text without having to flip the shape?
