Seems like this one should be pretty easy but I'm stuck... I just want to return a boolean based on whether the currently active cell contains the character "#". I've been trying to use the find method but I can't figure out how to convert a match or lack of a match to a boolean.
View 1 RepliesI need to return the specific text of a cell based upon the text in multiple cells.
Worksheet as follows:
Asphalt Sub:
BLDG1-Backwash 1
*BLDG1*
*Sub*
BLDG1-Backwash 1 OverEx
*BLDG2*
*Sub*
[Code].....
I have three columns thus far. I need to add another column and search all items in Column A using the criteria in Columns B and C. For instance I need to search for BLDG1-Backwash Sub: and place it into column D using the criteria in Columns B and C.
If possible, I would also like to remove both the words, BLDG1 and Sub from the result so then it only shows "Backwash".
My spreadsheet is much larger than this and I have muliple buildings I am dealing with, sometimes 30-40.
I need help creating a code that does the following:
I want a Boolean variable (TheTD) to be True when and only when the value in cell A1 is "TwoOnly". Once it isn't then I want the Boolean to be immediately False. Once cell A1 is "TwoOnly" I want TheTD to be true immediately as well.
I am using a userform and the textbox1_Change macro can change the value of cell A1 while typing. So in other words The Boolean can be changed from True to False multiple times depending on what I type in textbox1.
I have been trying a few formulas to return numbers from a string of text. The problem I am having is that there are more than one set of numbers that I need returned.
Here is an example of the text entered in F2
"K2PT bus structure [2 locations] & strain structure South West of L9L12-12 [1 location] / Use #4/0, std, cu conductor, connector Cat ID#10842 at structure leg & connector Cat ID#9655 at #4/0, std, cu gnd loop to connect #4/0, std, cu gnd loop to str leg."
What I need returned in a cell H2 is the numbers beside the Cat ID#
10842, 9655
I tried a Return Right Value formula, but I think because there are more than one possible value it isn't working properly.
If for example, I have a set of IDs like:
Bellen-234-B25R
Carlota-345-C20RDF
Quad-765-Q20LP
How would I return just the first 4 characters after the second dash? The closest I can get is ALL the characters after the second dash.
I have a string and a pattern. If a substring of the string is found in the pattern, the string is no longer valid. I would like to return a message stating which substring was found in the pattern.
String: K22+L09+P88+Q12+J56
Pattern: (N75|X02|A21|U67|L09|...)
Output Should Be: "J56 is an invalid code. Blah-Blah"
Code to test string against pattern:
Code:
Function Test_OPC(sCode, sPattern) As Boolean
Dim RegX As Object
Dim RegMC

I have a summary worksheet consisting of columns that are referenced to other sheets within the same workbook.
If the cell in the 'referring' (original) sheet is blank then the forumula returns a zero instead of a blank in my summary worksheet, which is messing up some other calculations.
Is there a way to make these cells truly blank, or possibly into string variables instead, so that they do not interfere with my calculations?
I am trying to identify the row(s) where a match occurs when there can be multiple occurrences of the match.

The first test I ran in cell C1 with the information above was to determine if "Brown" was located in the range of A1:A5 using formula:
=IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH("*"&B1&"*",A1:A5,0))=TRUE,"True","False")
In the case of the word "Brown" it occurs in the range of A1:A5 three times, so the result of the above formula would be "True"
Now what I would like to do is return the locations, in this case the row number(s), where the word brown is contained range of A1:A5 because in the case of the word Brown, it occurs three separate times in the range of A1:A5. I would like the resulting value of the formula in this case to be "1, 3, 5" indicating the word Brown occurs in rows 1, 3, and 5. The formula also needs to work in case there is only one match as well.
I tried using the below array formula:
={MATCH(FALSE,ISERROR(SEARCH(B1,'Working List of Vendors'!$A$1:$A$5)),0)}
But it would only return the first occurrence of the match which in this case would be row 1, or "1"
I'm trying to enter "True" in a cell without it being interpreted by Excel as a boolean value. Initially it was entered through VBA, but I've found I cannot type it in without Excel capitalizing and centering it.
So far, I've tried formatting it as Text and General.
I have a timecard spreadsheet which im working on, each employee is represented by a single worksheet in the workbook, and the worksheet is named after the employees name. New employees are added by filling in a form which dynamically creates the timecard based on a template. Im trying to impliment a 'Fire Employee' button which sits on each employees sheet and can be clicked to set an employees working status to false by changing a boolean variable called 'fired' to true.
Ive been looking around the forum but I cant figure out if i should be using public variables or where exactly i should be placing them, so that each employees 'fired' status is set to false when the worksheet is first created, but can be set to true when the 'Fire Employee' button is clicked, this must only set true for that specific employee, and not all employees. If your wondering why i need this, the employees work status will be used on other forms to toggle views etc so thats why a boolean approach is best (at least i think it is if its not to difficult to do)
I have minimal excel knowledge, but enough to get by. I have 2 years in C++ programming.

I'm trying to create a workbook to keep track of flags we send out, and receive back. We have a lot going and coming, so I figured the best way to do this would be to break down each region on different sheets. But I need to create a check box that says something like, "Yes/No" or "Here/Gone" or something like that. THEN, I need to take that information, and put it on the front sheet of the workbook so I know how many we have in/out total. Does this make sense? I know how I would program this in C++, but excel is a bit different.
once bTest is declared as a Boolean, it becomes equal to FALSE (I checked this after much head scratching). How does one assign a value to a boolean variable only after you make your test.

I would like to construct in VBA "n choose r" Boolean arrays of length n which will give all possible combinations of these variables as you scroll through the arrays.

I am wanting to leave a 'marker' in a function so that I know whether it is the first time it has been used or not. Something similar to this:
I have strings in cell a1. I will put a formula in a3 if string "xyz" is found inside a1, it will show value from a2, else shows nothing.
i tried simple formula cell a3

here it is exact match, i need partial match, or multiple partial match in a single cell. How to do it?
In sheet1 I have a simple database consisting of 5 columns of data
Column A : Name ie James Jones
Column B : payroll number ie 123456
Column C : shift times ie 1245-2124
Column D : job title ie floor
Column E : comments ie A/L or 0600-1500
what I would like is some code that will go down Column E and if a 'time string' ie 1300-2130 is found then copy this string and paste into corresponding value in column C. If a text string is found ie A/L or Sick or anything like this then ignore and move onto next cell, loop this until all cells in column E have been checked.
I want a boolean function to return whether the PC is connected to the Internet. How to start creating this.
Reason:
I have code that checks an online database and downloads data after the user presses a button.If the host computer is not currently connected to the net, I would like to display a message of my choice instead of trying to run the code.To determine whether to run my message or not, I need a function that will return TRUE/FALSE if the host PC is net connected or not.

I have an Excel Macro that will capture inputted customer/vehicle data from an input screen, at the end, based on questions answered, i need to place that data on 1 of 4 sheets in my excel document.
The questions are:
Is this a Nationwide claim? (Y.N) (boolean = nw)
Is the vehicle here? (Y/N) (boolean = vh)
So here's what i got
if NW = true and VH = True then place data on "sheet1"
if NW = true and VH = False then place data on "Sheet2"
if NW = False and VH = true then place data on "sheet 3"
if NW = false and VH = False then place data on "sheet4"
I can't think of how to write this IF statement for this to happen. can't get the logic going.
OR IS THERE A BETTER WAY?? i'm sure there is.
I've got a worksheet with five columns of data. The headings run from a1:e1
The number of rows can be anything up to 200,000 rows (I'm using Excel 2007).....
I'm trying to figure out how to reorganize data based on boolean values in two different columns. My goal is to write something in VBA that will look to see if the boolean in the first cloumn is true then procede to check if the boolean in the next column, same row is true. If that is the case, it will take several values from the row and move them to another worksheet. If the boolean in the first column is true, but the second column is not, it will look down the rows of the second column until it finds true then move several values from rows it has passed through. Here is an example of the sample data I will be dealing with.
Date Time Duration Boolean1 Boolean2
6/22/200715:0032TRUETRUE
6/22/200718:0058TRUEFALSE
6/22/200719:0060FALSEFALSE
6/22/200720:0060FALSEFALSE
6/22/200721:0060FALSEFALSE
6/22/200722:0060FALSEFALSE
6/22/200723:001 FALSETRUE
Based on the example data my goal is to move the data in a new worksheet that would look something like this
Date Start End Duration
6/22/2007 15:28 16:00 32
6/22/2007 18:02 23:01 299
This macro adds a comment to a cell and some text from an input box. I store the last value entered in the input box via the registry, it is recalled as the default input box value. How do I capture the cancel property (Boolean, true or false?) so the ActiveCell.Value remains and comment is not added? When a user selects Cancel/X the macro deletes the value in the cell and add's a comment. This overwrites existing data with "" (nothing).
