Search Engine
Feb 4, 2008
In excel, I have created a Search Engine. It searches through a bunch of data and based on 2 inputs, it spits out a result.
In other words, I have the speed in MPH of a bunch of people based on how fast they were going per second. If you input a time and speed into the search engine, it will tell you the person that was closest to this speed at the given time. So the result is the persons name and the inputs are the time and the reported MPH.
Now, suppose my search engine is in sheet one. In sheet 2, I will have bunch of reported data….a list of times and MPH of how fast I think someone was going. I want to know who I thought I was looking at. Therefore, I need all my data from sheet 2 to go into my search engine in sheet 1. I will then get a reported name that I would like to appear next to my data in sheet 2.
This would work manually inputting them one by one but I guess my question is is there a way I can get all this data to enter the search engine automoatically and still be able to spit out a result??
So basically, I want to take Time1 and MPH1 and get result 1, then take Time2 and MPH2 and get result 2…and so on and so forth, making this quick and easy.
So in my reported data worksheet, A1,A2,A3.....have times and B1,B2,B3 have MPHs.....is there a way to run these through my search as is so that I can have a name appear in C1,C2,C3....?
Now that is not the EXACT thing I created but the concept is very similar.

Need to create (or teach me how to create) a search function that could extract data and display the results with ALL possible answers (or all lines that contain that word), much like a search engine would. I have enclosed a file as an example of what I mean.

Adding a search engine like feature to a spreadsheet we have which has multifarious columns of data on it, here is a screenshot of what it looks like:

We have multiple sheets for each tutor like that picture which lists all information of their learners for reference, now I want to do a search feature on the main home page or perhaps on a dedicated "Search" page which allows us to filter out specific information out of those columns, mainly the ability to search by "Tutor" (aka sheet name), "Postcode", "Venue", "End Date", "Learner Name" and "EBS" number...

i want is to create a search engine in excel that allows users to input the clients name and the search will return all the info on the client such as the issue and their policy number.
Is this even possible? Using Access is not an option. I know I can use Access but most of my users dont know how to use Access and I want to make things as simple as possible.
Thanks so much in advance who ever succeeds at provding an answer u're a genius cuz I have no clue where to start lol.

I am having a problem with excel, I need to create a search box, which will be displayed on my first work sheet, which is the summary page and I need to search through all of the information on the other sheets within the excel document, they type of information that I have rages from reference numbers, names and amounts (currency) and once someone has input the information that they are looking for and has found every occurrence it will display this on the summary page, is this something that can be done?

I have a userform for the user to use a search engine on what he needs. The following code I have written it, but it is only good if he writes exact wording of the document name. How can I twist the code to make the search look for approximate words,
The search engine will try to look in for all the titles on "Result" worksheet and copy/past it to a new sheet called "search". so when the user types in the userform "specification" for instance, it will look all titles (Specifications, specification, spec, brown color spec) that has this word in the "Result" sheet and then it will copy/paste it in the Search Sheet.
Code:
Private Sub ok_1_Click()
Dim sht As Worksheet
Set sht = Worksheets("Result")
'if no name selected
If Trim(Me.Document_box.Value) = "" Then
MsgBox "Please write a document name."
[Code] ......

I have a worksheet with simple titles of books in a single colum, but want to create a user interface that is like a search engine to show titles.
Just a simple search window and search button. If I have a book named Mother Goose, and the user types in Mother, the search will show every title with that word in it. I have tried to do the advanced lookup I found here but I think I am not excel oriented enough to understand how to use it nor do I think it would do what I am looking for.

how I can build a search engine. I have attached a file with an idea about how I would like it. What I would like to have is a sheet with a search button. If the correct number is putted in this file the corresponding data should appear in the same sheet. I do not know how to make this at all!!
This is just a small file but if i know how to build it, it would concern a much bigger file and maybe even some graphs (if that is possible)

Using a pivot table, I'm linking to an external data source in ACCESS. I use the pivot table wizard, select the database (spend2008.mdb), and then ONE table that is not in a relationship/linked etc, its just a plain table, and then I get the error
"The Microsoft Office ACCESS database engine cannot find the input table or query "mdb.summary". Make sure it exists and that its name is spelled correctly".
This is new spreadsheet, so new join to the data. I'm selecting the table from the Query Wizard, so not possibility of a spelling mistake. I've been all through the database to make sure I haven't set a link or relationship. There are a total of 4 tables in in the DB that are related, but I've deleted the relationships

I have a workbook with many many sheets in it. The first sheet contains a single column with about 10,000 different values. I'd like to use each of these as search criteria against ALL data in the other sheets (of which there are a good 50 or so). If matches are found (they don't have to be exact case), then I'd like two things to happen:
1. The rows containing the matched search criteria in the first sheet are highlighted.
2. In the cells adjacent to the search criteria in the first sheet, hyperlinks to the matched data are created and named after the sheet upon which this matched data appears.
I've attached a sample file to this post with ideal sample 'answers' to queries made of the first 2 terms.

Using the search macro code below, could someone please help to add in more codes what I'm currently using, and also where to insert it. The Search function works well for what I need and it helps me to locate data. When using the search function somehow it search all sheets within the workbook but I only want it to search an array of sheets when using this macro that is needed to complete the task for what I'm after.
Macro
Public Sub FindText()
'Run from standard module, like: Module1.
Dim ws As Worksheet, Found As Range, rngNm As String
Dim myText As String, FirstAddress As String, thisLoc As String
Dim AddressStr As String, foundNum As Integer
myText = InputBox("Enter the text that you want to search for:", "Start Search!")
If myText = "" Then Exit Sub...................

I'm from Bavaria, Germany. Right now, I am doing an internship for my studies. my problem: I need a search procedure which shows an Input Box where you can enter a word to search for. It should work like the original Excel search (Ctrl-F), but with a simpler design, like with my own Text "Enter your Query" and a Button "Submit Query" / "Quit search". Is there the possibility to Highlight the Search Target? The problem hereby is that this highlighting should not be permanent. That means the user sees the target for which he searched for, the cell highlighted in a different color, etc. But as soon as the user clicks onto another cell, etc., the highlighting vanishes. If there is no fitting match, there should be a MessageBox like "Sorry the Target xyz cannot be found"

What i have so far is:
-3 Sheets (Sheet1 - Search, Sheet2 - Data, Sheet3 - Result)
-Sheet1 has a userform ready to link up - this opens up when workbook and worksheet is activated.
-Sheet2 has some example data to search - the search is for column 1 (see attachment)
-Sheet3 has a template ready for the data to be pasted to.
I would like the search result is column 1 to copy the data from columns 1 to 7 to sheet3.
I want the template/layout to remain after the pasting of results. (everything protected from editing, if possible).
Once finished (ie go back to sheet1, i want the data from sheet3 to be cleared.)

I' having trouble using the =IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH formula to search multiple cells.
I can get it to work to search one cell (as below):
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Same",G10)),"No Change",'Aug 09 Matrix'!F10)
(In this case the respone is No Change as Cell G10 contains "Same")
However cannot get it to work for several cells. I have pasted below and highlighted the function I would like it to perform:
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Same",G10:R10)),"No Change",'Aug 09 Matrix'!F10)
Essentially the other cells in that row (G10:R10) all contain "Same", however for some reason it is identifying this as FALSE and putting in the data from the 'Aug 09 Matrix' sheet.

I need one formula to copy and paste the checkcard data changing it from this "CHECKCARD XXXXXX5623" to "CHECKCARD 5623", but I need one formula to look for multiple known checkcard numbers. I will have more then one typically in the bank download so I need to search and copy at least two known numbers as shown below.
I am providing the formula that I am using right now, "=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("5623",B3)),RIGHT(B3,41),"")" but it only works for one checkcard number? Also I don't really need to capture the DEBIT or CREDIT that will always be at the end, it would be redundant. If it's easier to write the formula including that data that is no problem. What I want to copy and move into an adjacent cell is in red.
Here is the source data:
Row 2 - SONIC DRIVE IN#1531 AUSTIN TXDEBIT FOR CHECKCARD XXXXXX5623 DEBIT
Row 3 - JASON'S DELI # 125 Q64 AUSTIN TXDEBIT FOR CHECKCARD XXXXXX9718 DEBIT

what i have is a spreadsheet with several sheets to it. i have many invoice numbers throughout the spreadsheet. what i would like to do is add a search tab or something so it will take me to the desired sheet that the user defined input "search" said. but i may have same invoice number on 2 or 3 different pages so i would need it to tell me that it is on 3 differents sheets
Example: I type in 658969 and it will automatically go to the sheet with this invoice number or return "No Entry Found" if it doesnt' have a match. or something to this affect and i don't know what do do if the input is found on multiple pages.

I'm trying to write a macro that will find any cell containing something, here's the trick, I need it to find any cell containing a string (such as "x"), but it also has to be the right color, font face, etc. and then look at the value one cell to the left of it. (I can do the rest of the macro, which would add them all up and place them all somewhere)

I have a macro that saves an entire workbook as a PDF. It works great other than sometimes I end up with ##### on the PDF even though it is not showing on the spreadsheet....and I even autofit the columns before I convert it. Is there code to search a workbook for ###### and either direct you to that cell or fix it?
I have used the below code but do not know of any for #####
myArray = Array(xlErrDiv0, xlErrNA, xlErrName, xlErrNull, _
xlErrNum, xlErrRef, xlErrValue)
For i = 1 To 7
Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(i, 1).Value = CVErr(myArray(i - 1))
Next i
