SCAN(A1:P25) To Find A Cell Containing Certain Text
Mar 27, 2007
The issue is to find the address (like A1) to the cell that contain specific text string?
I import text from a web page and I want to calculate some numbers from this information. All the information is spread out in 10-15 columns and 20-25 rows, and the specific value I'm looking for is imported into different rows as the dynamic web page changes, but the column is always the same.
The cell next to the left side of my wanted cell always contain the same text, so I thought I could search or scan the area A1 to P25 for this text and then extract the value of the cell on its right hand.
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 am having trouble getting my IF statement to test if the cell contains the text "sale" return "X" if not "Y". I need it to search through the text string in that cell and find a certain word, and if it finds that word, retrn a value. I am really having difficulty with is what symbol or function do I use for the logical test? (i.e. =, <>, MATCH, INDEX?)
I am trying to scan through all files within a directory and all subdirectories to find files where the name begins with certain characters. Below is code that will accomplish this for a certain directory, but I do not know how to look through the subdirectories within the specified directory. So, the issues are:
1. How do I loop through each subdirectory within a specified directory?
2. I am trying to return the file name, path name (separate from the file name), and modified date. I can return the name. I can return the path, but it includes the name. Is there a way to return just the path?
3. What is the code to return the modified date of the file?
I send out 300 or so spreadsheets. The spreadsheet contains lines of products that recipients have on hire. Column L allows to the user to put YES or NO on each line, to state whether it is correct or not. The user then sends this sheet back.
The difficult part for me is I have to open each spreadsheet, and deal with all the instances of NO in column L. It takes almost a day to go through every spreadsheet.
Is it at all possible to have some sort of macro, VBA sript or access front page, that allows me to search all instances of 'NO' in all the spreadsheets which are in 1 designated folder?
Hopefully I am making sense in what Im after.. ideally I'd need a button on a spreadsheet that I click to give me all rows that contain NO in column L.
All the file names will be constant each week. (so each file name will be 01 - Hire List.xls, 02-Hire List.xls, 03-Hire List.xls etc etc).
I want to scan the envelopes coming into our postroom and look up the results within excel. I would then if I match the name be able to print out the details e.g. name floor they are located on etc..
i've created a spreadsheet that will take in scanned files (from a barcode), log into our system, update the files based on certain criteria, then take information from the file and place it in another worksheet for inventory purposes.
what i'm asking is... is there a way i can have excel drop to the next row each time i scan in each file?
i've noticed the output of the scanner is formatted like this: +000000
i've tried using the sendkeys method with the plus sign, but it always moves down THEN enters in the numbers. i'm not sure if there is a way with the Len function... or some variation of that.
i'm also thinking if i could maybe find the .dll for the scanner, maybe i could set up a reference to it, and have it do something like "afterbarcodescan.activecell.offset(1,0).activate".
I have some code that scans each worksheet in a workbook for sheetnames beginning with 'Model'... if the worksheet name matches, it prints only the used pages on that sheet (see code below).
Dim Ws As Worksheet For Each Ws In Worksheets If Left(Ws.Name, 5) = "Model" Then If Ws.Range("A46").Value = "Page 1-1" Then Ws.PrintOut From:=1, To:=1 ElseIf Ws.Range("A46").Value = "Page 1-2" Then Ws.PrintOut From:=1, To:=2 End If End If Next Ws
This code works... but I would like it to scan the workbook in reverse order... ie. print from the last matching worksheet first.
If i have a range say E12:O12 and want to find the last cell before blank, lets say it finds m12 as the cell with the value before blank. then with m12 it needs to determine weather row 11 in the same column has Text either "S" or "F" if "S" then m12 = t if "F" then m12 offset(1,-1) = t. And just to make things more difficult i need the range E12:O12 to step 2 as well until it gets to E208:O208 .Noting that row 11 never changes and will always have either an "S" Or an "F"
3. All the other cells in that row are shaded blue. Look at these.
4. Look at the "Volunteer" row - all the cells in that row are shaded blue. Look at these.
5. Wherever a name - any name - appears in the "Volunteer" row, 1 is added to the previous number in the "Days so far" section and the result is displayed in cell from the "Days so far" row above that Volunteer's name.
6. For example, we begin in C1 with a count of 12 days so far - this was manually entered
7. In cell H5, we see Henry has volunteered 1 day. The total no. of days so far should now be 12+1. Therefore, the number in H1 should be 13.
8. In cell G47, we see Joseph has volunteered 1 day. The total number of days volunteered BEFORE Joseph volunteered is 15 (see cell D43). But now, with Joseph volunteering 1 day, the total no. of days so far should now be 15+1. Therefore, the number in G43 should be 16.
9. what formula l must put in the "Days so far" row (excluding cell C1, which is manually input) to give me the "should be" results predicted in that row? I'm guessing it will be a formula which looks at each row fragment of the "Days so far" row, row by row, right up to the previous cell in that row, all within one formula.
P.S. I just want to leave the "Days so far" row blank, for any columns where there are no volunteers in the "Volunteer" row, so please don't give a formula which inserts zero for days with no volunteer, and then sums the cumulative total.
I have a drop down list in a merged cell B12-F12 and B13-F13 and B14-F14 . . . B30-F30.
I need the adjacent merged cell to populate a reason (text) based on the text answer in the drop down list or the entered text in the first merged cell. For example in the cell B12-F12 the user picks from the list or types in "Amiodarone." I want the adjacent merged cell G12-J12to automatically fill with "Heart Rhythm." I also want to be able to set up multiple if - them statements like if Amiodarone is entered then fill adjacent cell with Heart Rhythm and if Toprol XL then fill adjacent cell with Heart / Blood pressure and if simvastatin then fill adjacent cell with Cholesterol, etc. I have about 30 different options for cell 1 that I want to have auto fill in cell 2 based on the contents of cell 1. I've attached my file.
I want the user to be able to choose from the list or type the drug name in.
I want a formula to scan column B for a given word. One version of the formula will look for the word "ACAD", the other "GOV". If it shows ACAD anywhere in column B, I want to put ACAD in column D.
Bar codes would contain a part number and a quantity.

1st question: I have scanned them into excel, but how does the next scan get into the next cell? It is currently putting multiple scans into the same cell.
2nd question: Can the data be broken up into separate columns? (e.g. Column A = "Part Number", column B = "QTY") I know about text to columns, but I think I have to get the format right?)
I'm looking for a code that will scan the rows (x) (of which there are 10), and print the data for the corresponding columns (y) (of which there are 42).
I need a macro that will find a cell by its contents (text) and then it will add the value of 1 to the cell under it IF the is data in the "E" cell of the same row. I would also need for it to do the same (add +1) for every other "A" cell under it.
I'm trying to do a column of individual discount calculations using a discount percentage found in a cell two to the right of a cell containing the text "Total SP:" that is always upwards and to the left of the cell where the formula goes (but could be two rows or could be 20). There are multiple "Total SP:" cells in the sheet - I always want the first one upwards. I have created the following but I get #NAME? where I hope to see the discounted value.
VB:
Dim Discount1 As Double Discount = Cells.Find(What:="Total SP:", After:=ActiveCell, LookAt:=xlWhole, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious, MatchCase:=True).Offset(0, 2) Range("R9:R" & LastRow).Formula = "=IF(J9>0,$E9*(1-Discount1),0)"
I've just thought, the Cells.Find needs to be redone for each cell where the formula is inserted to ensure it always catches the correct discount and this isn't going to do that - it's going to find it once and always use that single value.
I think this needs a Loop or something and to move the ActiveCell down one after the formula to get it to redo the Cells.Find.
I'm trying to find vehicle make and model in a cell containing a lot of text and then display that in the formula cell. For example if A1 is a paragraph that contains somewhere within it "Ford" & "Ranger". I want B1 to display "Ford" and C1 to display "Ranger". I have a list of vehicles makes (column A) and models (column B) on a seperate sheet.
Is there a way to scan a document into excel 2003 and be able to keep the current format ? or some way to be able to get it into excel and the easliy put it back to the format I need?
I'm not sure if my requirement would be possible but I am trying to locate a text in cells on a separate table and then return a corresponding amount beside such cell to a cell beside the text I am trying to locate. I attached the excel file with arrows and everything.
I am trying to simplify process for the users of a workbook. This workbook has about 20 tabs and I would like the users to manually paste a value in C1 of sheet1 and have a macro button that will find that value in the whole workbook.
I have seen a few examples which find the last used cell... but these seem to grab cells that have formulas in them, even though no text has been entered. I need to know how to find the last cell in a worksheet that contains text.
Can I make the cursor use only 2 columns? In other words, I know that when I scan barcode data into A1, I have the cursor automatically move to B1. BUT, once I've scanned data into B1, how do I make the cursor automatically move to A2?
I'm evaluating the effectiveness of a keyword list we use to identify certain, high priorit,y medical situations from a string of text.
So, I have a column on a sheet of data (EIS Report!"B:B") in this case, and a seperate column on another sheet with keywords (Keywords!"A2:A47").
I use the formula ={OR(NOT(ISERROR(FIND(keywords!$A$2:$A$47,$B2))))} to identify if any of the keywords exist in the string. This works well but I would like to improve my work in two ways:
1 - Identfiy, in another column on the EIS report sheet, which keyword it is that's been found within the string, 2 - On the keyword sheet, add another column of words, which if found within the string, would act as an exclusion.For example, I might use "STAB" as a keyword to look for "Male stabbed" etc, however might want to exclude "STABBING" to stop the solution triggering on "STABBING PAINS IN ABDO"
