I am looking to write a macro that will search for keywords on a sheet, on a workbook at a specific path, and would like some help getting this macro started...
It would get run from "WorkbookA", and would look at "WorkbookB" (wherever it is) and find the cell containing the keyword, where the cell value would be the output. I would really prefer that it did not open Workbook B while this macro is run, if thats possible.
I am trying to find code that locates a workbook (file) in a specific directory, based on a keyword and stores the workbook location in a string to be opened later.
For example, find a workbook containing the word "ancaster" in it's file name (actual file name is "ancaster_summary_2009") in file path:
"C:My Documents" and store the filename and path in a string called "ancasterBook"
Code / macro that would automatically search a word doc for keywords and export every instance of that keyword into column A of a spreadsheet, the first three or four words prior to that keywords into column B, and the entire sentence where the keywords is found into column C?
I often pull hundreds of pages of text from a program that exports into Word and have to look through the pages to find every instance where a point is referenced by geolocation. Then I have to filter through that data to determine which of the points I found are truly important before I save it all to a csv or xls and feed it into mapping software.
If I had a code / macro that did the search and export automatically, it would save hours of work.
Currently I am using excel 2007. In that I have two sheets (sheet1 as Dashboard & Sheet2 as Database). On sheet1 I need to develop a functionality of searching as per key word (Keyword will be typed on cell B2) and i need to display search data below cell B2 till whatever cells depending as per database.

I am trying to set up a keyword search where someone can type a word in D8 and the number of books with that word in its title will be returned.
I have managed to get the following sum to work if I put the exact title in the search however I would like it to be possible for a partial search.
=SUMPRODUCT(--('Books List'!G2:G1166=D8))
I would like to search for a keyword or a phrase in a website using excel.
Generally we copy the keyword or a phrase and paste it in google and go for search. but i wanted to do this using excel as i have to search same pharse in multiple websites.
I've got an Excel document with over 323 entries and I need to search the data to find where ever a certain keyword is mentioned and copy the entire row into a separate sheet within the same workbook. However, I have a list of around 323 keywords and there is AND condition as well.so doing this using Ctrl+F would take some time.
The data is in Sheet "Training Dataset" and the particular column that needs to be searched is Column "A" . "Training Dataset" is the sheet where I would like the found results to be copied to in the column B and C. The list of Keywords that need to be searched for are located in Sheet "Keywords" , starting from Cell C and D.
So basically I have an Excel sheet which has keywords that need to be entered in Google search. I need the URL of the first page of the search result that appears after that keyword is entered. IS there a macro for the same?

I need to conduct keyword searches in excel and color the keywords a different color without changing the font color of the entire cell. now, i found some code from another thread that does this, but i cant seem to get it to work with more than 2 keywords. i need fine-tuning the provided code to do what i need it to do.

When i run the macros, the word "Bat" does not become colored red. interestingly enough, when i substitute the word "bat" for the word "hat" in the "myLIST array, the word "hat" does change to the red font.
I am looking to use this code to address keywords in my excel file by coloring all key words red and i have more than 10 key words.
I've been tackling this data capture/paste issue for a week or so. I found the string below which does provide a good foundation for my challenge. But, my basic level of understanding macros limits my modifications to meet my needs.

I have 20 worksheets in my master file corresponding to Excel files individual associates will update weekly. After the associates have updated their individual files for the week, I want to capture the data entered and paste values into a master file containing a worksheet for each associate (sharing the same name as the individual associate file). All of these files are housed on team SharePoint sites.
I need a macro to perform several steps after clicking a "Run Update" macro button in the master file:
Open individual associate fileIn master file, search for each Initiative listed in column B (starting cell B3) in the individual associate file (in column B starting at cell B11)If Initiative is found in individual associate file, copy adjacent data in columns D:J for the respective rowIn master file, paste values to the corresponding Initiative row for the corresponding week's worth of dataIf Initiative is not found in the individual associate file, move to the next Initiative listed in the master fileRepeat these steps for each individual associate file
Linking would be the easiest way to accomplish this if I wanted to have a multitude of weekly individual files for the associates. However, I'd rather each associate have one file for them to update (basically overwriting their previous week's entries).
I need to ensure the paste values corresponds to the appropriate day of the week. In simpler terms, if the date in the individual associate file in cell D9 reads Oct 1, 2012, the data captured from that row needs to be pasted to the corresponding row/column in the master file that reads the same date.
Im am trying to create a search marco button that allows me to search in multiple worksheets in one work book. I came across this CODE the first part of it works.

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.

I have 2 workbooks. 1 is where data is entered called wksPB, the other is like a database workbook. The wksPB has data to be feed from column B to F and there is a dropdown.
what im looking to do is, if the combobox value is selected as Decline then it should display a messagebox that reference value in cell B is denied. if combobox value is Agreed then the macro should search the database workbook for the text entered in column b of wksPB and then copy data of C:E of wksPB to H:J of database sheet where that text is found and also the approver name in wksPB C24 to the approver cell of where that text was found. I've reached till finding the text but what I get my head twiting on is how to copy the text from wksPB column B:F to database sheet column H:K. Im attaching the sample workbooks and the code where ive reached till.

I am trying to develop my workbook design for my employers.So far i have already added a search function using a command button and text box to each worksheet and a toggle button to find and hide/show rows users dont need automatically with great success.
Here is the code i have adapted so far. Its not working correctly and i cant seem to figure it out. The command button and textbox will sit on the first worksheet and needs to search for a name (example: John) in the workbook and either display which sheet the name is found on or jump in turn to each name until you reach the correct sheet.
Do i need to set a range for the variable (ws)?
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim search As String
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim Answer As String

I've had a look at various coding to create a macro to search excel.
The issue I have is several work sheets within the work book but they're always inactive unless opened. From the 1st work sheet I've got menu buttons that open a specific worksheet, then there's a button to click to take user back to 1st worksheet and close the 1 they were looking at and making it inactive.
Following code is what I use to open and close sheets:
[Code] .........
The above works fine for opening and closing.
But if I use Excel's standard CTRL + F search facility and change options to search workbook, it doesn't work because every other sheet other than 1st sheet is inactive.
I have a simple spread sheet that I made that takes the first letter of a name entered into cell (A1), combines it with the last name entered into cell (B1), and inputs that combined information into cell (E1).
It works how I need it to for the most part but... I need Excel to look at a completely separate workbook (containing four sheets), and search the entire workbook for exact matches of the combined information in (E1). If it finds a match elsewhere in that workbook I want it to add a 1 to the end of the combined name. I basically want it to increment the number until it does not find one that already exists in the other workbook.
Example: Cell (A1 contains Bob), Cell (B1 contains Smith). Currently Cell (E1 would display bsmith) - I need for Excel to search the other workbook, and if it finds a bsmith anywhere in that workbook add a 1 to the end making it (bsmith1). If it finds (bsmith1) increment it to (bsmith2) and keep going up by one number until it does not find any other matches. The other workbook is located on a mappedshared network drive.
I'm trying to write a Macro that searches all non-blank worksheets of multiple workbooks in a folder for any IP addresses contained within then returns them all to one master spreadsheet.
I've already come up with the code to open each workbook from the master. What I really need is some direction for how to go into each non-blank worksheet and search each one, placing all IPs that are found into a single column in their respective worksheets, say column D for example.
Since I'm not looking for a specific value I assume I'll need some wild card like *.*.*.*
I have two workbooks, WorkbookA and WorkbookB. Consider WorkbookA as the "summary" workbook where all of the data is presented in a simple manner. WorkbookB has about 100 worksheets (with each worksheet referring to a specfic job number ex. 1234). All of the sheet names of WorkbookB are listed in cells A1-A100 of WorkbookA.
I need a way to do the following:
1. While in WorkbookA, search WorkbookB for worksheet "A1"
2. After the correct worksheet is displayed in WorkbookB, I will be doing a series of vlookups in order to gather the data.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for all 100 job numbers (cells A1-A100)
how I can achieve step number 1, I'd really apreciate it. I created a macro in the past to search WITHIN a workbook for a specific sheet, but I've never made one to search thru another workbook based on a specific cell value. The code I used to search within a workbook is shown below.
PHP Code:
Sub GetSheet()
Dim SearchData As String
SearchData = InputBox("Enter assembly number (including group)")
If SearchData <> vbNullString Then
On Error Resume Next
Sheets(SearchData).Activate
If Err.Number <> 0 Then MsgBox "Unable to find sheet named: " & SearchData
On Error GoTo 0
End If
End SubÂ

Is there a code that would search for a name on a sheet and take me there when it finds it?
