Seaching For A String Within A Cell
Dec 8, 2008
I know I started a thread that contained this question before, but, I am not sure why I didn't get any idea's how to fix it, I'm not sure why. I would really appreciate anyone's help and or suggestion.
What I am trying to do is - From a command button, prompt an input box, What you enter in that input box becomes what is searched for.
This is done however, what I want is the characters I enter in the input box I want it to look anywhere within that cell for that string...
Example - If I type "Empty" in the input box, the macro will go through and look through my range of cells and find all occurances of "Empty" - copy that row, and paste it to another worksheet --->which is good except I need it to also find "Empty Jug" or "Huse Empty", and include those as well...I can't figure it out.

Basically I have two groups of data
Group 1 is machine info and has
Serial Number Build Month Commission Month
Group 2 is warranty info and has
Serial Number Service Claim Value of Service Claim
What I need to do is for all machines built in a given month count the number of claims within a given number of months after commissioning and the total value of the claims.
Eg
If I have a machine serial number abc123 built in jan 07 and commissioned mar 07 I need to search the table of data in group 2 for the number of claims between mar 07 and may 07 and also the total value of those claims

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'm using a userform to create a new sheet. The form already creates the sheet and names it what was typed into the userform. Now I want it to place that variable in a cell along with a string. the following code will place the variable from the form (tbname) into cell b5.

I have a string of text in cell A2. In cell B2 of my spreadsheet is a formula that calculates a number based on the text string in cell A2.
I want to write a VBA loop that removes a single character from the cell A2 string, then calculate the new value in cell B2. I want this loop to continue until the value in B2 falls below a set value (in this case 60).
My code so far
Sub trim_text()
Dim mytext As String
Dim myanswer As Integer
mytext = Range("A2")
myanswer = Range("B2")
Do While myanswer > 60
mytext = (Right(mytext, Len(mytext) - 1))
Loop
End Sub
This obviously does not work. In my excel table I have a formula in cell B2 to calculate "myanswer" will this work, or does that code have to be placed into the VBA code?

I have a 700 line spreadsheet and would like to delete the cell next to another cell if it contains a certain string. I.e if A1 to A3 equals "Test" then i would like to delete the contents of B1 to B3, But if A2 equals "Completed" then only B1 and B3 should be cleared.

I have a protected sheet. When someone enters a value in column A, I want a value to be inserted into the corresponding row in column G.
E.g. When I enter date in cell A45, I want the time this date was entered into cell G45

I have a udf that returns a string to the cell. The string is made up of multiple string "objects". What I am wondering is if I can set the font color of certain objects so that when the final string is built and returned, the font of those portions is set.
Ex. of simple idea (this is not actually my code, just a way to illustrate. I realize there is no point to this UDF):
VB:
Function StringReturn (Str1 As String, Str2 As String, Str3 As String) As String
StringReturn = Str1 & Str2 & Str3
End Function
Now what if I wanted Str1 and Str3 to be blue, and Str2 to be red for example. So that when the UDF calculates it would return: Str1Str2Str3

Wondering if it is possible to generate a random 4 digit number based off an alphanumeric string?
Example;
Cell A1 has 123XVF1234
Cell A2 has 321AFW4321
In B1 I would like to have a 4-6 digit number that is generated based on the alphanumeric data in Cell A1 (and so on down the list). If that is possible, I would also need to be able to convert back the 4-6 digit number back to its original alphanumeric value
Example;
If B1 returns 643562 it would need to be able to be converted back to 123XVF1234

I have a situation where a word (in this case "Restaurant") is misspelled in a list of about 78,000 location names. The location names are in one column, and the [misspelled] word "Restaurant" is anywhere between the first word of the string, to the last, with any amount of alphanumeric/symbol characters between. For example:
Alice's Restaurant
Alli's Restaurant & Bar
Alexis Restaurant of Waukesha
Amigo's Mexican Restaurant #2
I want to replace any misspellings of the word with correct, but since the list is so long, and the way the word is misspelled varies so much, going through manually is entirely too time-consuming.
Some of the variations I've seen so far are Resta, Restau, Restaur, Restuara, etc...
Is there a way to search and replace cells that contain the text in any location of the string? Specifically, where ever there is JUST "Restau", replace with "Restaurant", regardless of where it is in the string? This way, trailing text is not deleted or manipulated, i.e. "Alice's Restaur and Bar" will change to "Alice's Restaurant and Bar".

I have a string that has an IP that doesn't follow a fixed length.
Eg:
10.248.242.65Microsoft SQL Server Compact 3.5 Service
10.248.242.5EOL/Obsolete Software: Oracle Java SE/JRE/JDK 6/1.6
10.248.251.144Microsoft Sync Framework Service Pack
seperate that IP and the String. I tried the below formula =REPLACE(A2,MIN((FIND({"M","E","S"},A2))),0,"?")
It works fine for the above examples, but i want a formula that can seperate the string after the IP ranging from A-Z or a-z
getting any formula so that i can determine atleast the position of the First Letter(A-Z,a-z) from left.

Below is the code I started:
[Code] ......
The range contains a list of names. I want the sub to start with the first name and sum the value(long) which are in 7 columns to the left of the text string. Once this procedure has been done for the first name, it should go back up to the second name and do the same and so on. Once done I will return the name (cell A1 in another sheet) and its respective sum (cell B1 in another sheet) so that I have the list of names with their respective sum.
Sum function using an offset of 7 columns to the left?

I am trying to write some code that will look in an excel cell find if it contains the word that I am looking for and make it bold. I have written the following code so far
VB:
With Worksheets("Label Print").Cells(i, J)
.Characters(Start:=InStr(.Value, "Name"), Length:=Len("Name")).Font.Bold = True
End With
[COLOR=#3E3E3E][B][/B][/COLOR]
The issue is that if "Name" occurs twice (or more) in a cell it will highlight only the first.

I'm trying to get excel to check a cell against a table of numbers and if it finds any of them to replace it with the correct number.
Basically if the cell contains any of the numbers in the "Do Not Use" column then it should display the corresponding entry from the "Replace With" column?
see attached spreadsheet. Cells in orange are where I want the formula to go...

I'm looking to combine today's date and a string in the same cell. This is what i've come up with:
The problem is that this gives today's date in a numerical value rather than in "short date" form like I want. If i format the cell as a date it doesn't change anything.
Whatever the method, for what I'm doing it has to take place in on single cell.

Cell B4: 02/11/2008
Cell B7: Empty
Cell B8: Empty
Cell B9: Empty
Cell B10: Empty
Cell B11: Empty
Cell B12: Empty
Cell B13: Empty
Cell B14: Empty
B4 is a date format and I need to copy each single character from B4 so that it goes into the corresponding cells from B7 through to B14. So it looks like this:
Cell B4: 02/11/2008
Cell B7: 0
Cell B8: 2
Cell B9: 1
Cell B10: 1
Cell B11: 2
Cell B12: 0
Cell B13: 0
Cell B14: 8
I am not sure how to find the position of a character and put it into another cell, is anyone able to help me with this?
