Search Functionality Within Userform
Mar 27, 2014
I have a standard multi-page excel workbook in Excel 2013. I have built a user form that will allow for user input into my main excel page. This inpu includes many different variables, including one called "Paint". The value of paint can currently be selected from a drop down box that pulls its values from a spreadsheet in the workbook (Paint!A$1,A$50) but here's the issue. I have over 50 possible values for paint and it makes the drop box time searching for the right one kinda hard.
Here's what I want to do: Have a button beside the paint drop-down that says "Search", When the users clicks it it opens a search dialogue of some kind that will return the closest values to their search. When they click the value they want it gets entered as the selected value for the "Paint" drop-down box.
Here's my questions:
-Is this even possible ?I know enough about VBA to know that this is probably difficult in which case id still like to try.
-If it is possible. Are there perhaps any places you could point me to that would have some sort of starting point for me to work from. Remember I got the other part already I just need the search functionality.

By typing either first letter or first two letters in cell A2 the list box should bring up matching street names. Also listbox should manually allow to select required street name by scrolling down.

how to create a simple form that would search a sheet for a word and display the list of resulting rows - something similar to Adobe Reader 7 Search functionality ?
If I was having administrator privileges on this PC, I would simply install Cygnus and use its "grep" command on a CSV file but without that possibility, it's rather cumbersome to search an Excel sheet when you need to do it repetitively, and I need to locate a specific row each time without knowing the exact content of the cell (only searching for one or another word I know the cell contains).

I am currently using a bunch of msgboxes to tell the user if a specific error has occurred. I want to get rid of the ugly gray box and customize my own. I am having problems setting up the code as I would like it to function like msgbox does where I can supply a header and message string and then it displays in the userform. I tried coding it kind of how I would pass variables to a function and it doesn't seem to work.
Userform:
Code:
Private Sub userform_initialize(msg As String, hdr As String)
MessageBox.Caption = msg
myMessageBox.Caption = hdr
End Sub
Sub:
Code:
Call myMessageBox("Hi", "hi")

I have written a code that acts as a directory search engine for peoples names. There is a form called search that is loaded and asks the user which name he or she would like to search for. When the user enters the data, whether the name is spelled right or not, the search finds the first closest match to whatever was entered into the form. I would like to change this in one way. Many times there are people with the same first name but different last name or two very similar first names that might be highlightes instead of the exact name the user is looking for. I would like to ask if anyone knows how to write a code that would insert each of the names that have all or part of the entered name into a forms box to where a final selection could be made to select the exact row of cells that the user wants to see. This is much like the find feature on your PC. You enter what you want to find and it brings up all of the things that include your keywords and you make the final selection. Is this possible or just very complicated? This is the current search code that I have written. It will find the closest match but will not insert it into a form
Sub FindIt()
Dim FDescriptions As Range
Dim Reply As Long
MysName = Search.Textbox1
Set FDescriptions = Columns(4).Find(What:=MysName, Lookat:=xlPart, LookIn:=xlValues)
If FDescriptions Is Nothing Then
Reply = MsgBox("Food Not In Database. Try Again?", vbYesNo)
If Reply = vbYes Then Search.Show
Else
FDescriptions.EntireRow.Activate
End If
End Sub

I have a userform for data entry. I am able to make codes for Add ( Add entry to database), clear ( Clear userform ) , Cancel (Exit userform). I have some more buttons and functions to be assigned to them but not able to write code .
Need codes for :
1) Have search box which searches Mat id in the complete database and returns value in the search result listbox. When we click on the result in listbox , the userform values are filled with the values that the mat id has . Then if user wishes he can update teh details for that mat id , and click on update button . the data is updated in the database. Or he can delete the entry from database by clicking on delete button.
2) Have arrows which will navigate through database ( need macros for that ) .

Not sure if I am linking this correctly but here it goes...http://www.excelforum.com/excel-prog...ification.html
This is a previous post link that is now solved but I have a new question based on the code in the post. I would like to know how to add a search and update ability to the user form I have created. I am newb with user forms so I apologize in advance for my lack of knowledge.
And yes I know the way it is set up now it is depositing data in two different locations; this is for a specific purpose.

I need to use SQL decode functionality in Excel. I tried but Excel won't accept decode. Is there a way to get the same effect in Excel?
Example: quite often, people use letters to represent numbers, like 1234D = 123.44, 5432G=543.27 in text files. To converter from letters to numbers, I can use decode (substr(A1,5,1), 'A', 1, 'B',2,'C',3,......,'{', 0, null).
Not sure how Excel handles this?

I am looking to create a userform that submits data to my spreadsheet.The fields should be Reference Number, Title, forename, surname and DOB.The filling in of the reference number is compulsory, and should display a message box if a reference number has not been input.A button should be present on the spreadsheet that brings the userform up.
The search Userform should look the same as the input userform, except the fields are blanked out and uneditable.
The ability to search by any field is neccesary.
A list should be brought up containing the search results.
The user can then select the entry that they are looking for and then the uneditable userform comes up with the information that has be extracted from the existing entries.y impossible.

I have developed a functional User Form that works like a charm. The form will Add New Records to my database and Get Next and Get Previous records. This all works like a charm. I am stuck on how to search by Last Name or Employee Number and then to Update the Existing Record. If I change anything in an existing record as the VBA is written today, my only choice is to add a new record to the end of the database. I have added Command Buttons, but I'm lost as to how to write the code. Here's what I have so far:
VB:
Dim currentrow As Long
Private Sub cmdGetNext_Click()
Range("A2").Select
ActiveCell.End(xlDown).Select
lastrow = ActiveCell.Row

I am trying to get my userform to search a worksheet for data.
In "A" I have a vehicle name (Audi, BMW etc) these names occur more than once
In "B" I have the vehicle model.
i.e:
A B
Audi A3
Audi A4
Audi A6
BMW X5
BMW M3
I would like to be able to have a command button on my userform (preferable one for each vehicle type) that the user can click on to then add the list of relevant vehicle models into a combo box.
i.e Click on the Audi command button and the combo box displays all the models in "B" that have Audi in "A"

I have a userform where I key in something into a textbox, click search and then the results will be returned into the textbox or into a listview if there are more than one instances.
Now, when I type in "Box1-A( )", the only result that will be returned is "Box1-A( )" if it is present in my spreadsheet. Is there a way I can make the userform return results as long as the keywords are there? In this case, the keywords would be "Box1-A" (without the ( ) at the back).
Here is the code I'm using
Code:
Private Sub cmbFind_Click()
Dim LR As Long
Dim strFind As String 'what to find
[Code]...
Was working on this code on another excel forum but I forgot my password and I can't retrieve it at the moment.

I've put together a workbook that has 2 sheets that contain stock details and location info (i.e. part number, description, Location & stock level). I need to have a search function outside of the 'built-in' Ctrl+F (or Edit > Find) search function, i'd assume this would mean using VBA?I invisiage making a userform embedded within the very first sheet of the workbook and having this form be opened when accessing the worbook - maybe hide the other two sheets containing the data? Within the search userform, i would have a 'part number' & 'description' search input boxes for data input, either one could be blank but atleast ONE must be inputfor the search to work. On pressing the 'Search now' command button in the userform, any reults found would be displayed in a listbox at the bottom of the said userform. If no results found, a dialog box would pop-up saying 'No Items Matched"

I created a userform for a giant spreadsheet with tons of data in it. There are three criteria. I created two command buttons - one that's "search" and one that's "close." The close works fine, but I don't know enough to program the "search" command. I'd like it to pull all data that matches the three criteria - rows H, D and M. So, if you answer all three, the macro will pull the rows of data that matches and paste it into another workbook (that opens in another window).
I'm not sure userforms are typically used for this sort of thing...

I'm coming along nicely with my user form. My last issue was trying to get it to search/recall data from the "Data" tab. This works perfectly when only 1 record is found, and if multiple line items are found, a message box pops up and tells me how many records are found that meet the criteria. However, I am now struggling to get the code to work properly to past the details of those records into the list box, so that the user can select which record they want to edit.
I get a Run-Time Error '1004' Application-Defined or Object-Defined error and it points to the section in red:
Code:
Sub FindAll()
Dim strFind As String 'what to find
Dim rFilter As Range 'range to search
Set rFilter = Worksheets("Data").Range("E3", Range("h65536").End(xlUp))
Set Rng = Worksheets("Data").Range("E3", Range("e65536").End(xlUp))
strFind = Me.cbosearch.Value

I am very new to Excel/VBA. I have created a "Customer Complaint System" in excel and have designed a user form for users to enter new complaints.
My next step is to design a Search or Look up form for viewing the complaints where users can choose to look up complaints by either Complaint No or Customer or Month.
The worksheet that stored my data is called "ComplaintData" which is hidden. In the sheet "COmplaintData" I have following 10 Columns:
Column A - Complaint No
Column B - Date
Column C - Customer
Column D - Contact Person
Column E - Product
Column F - Batch
Column G - Category (This relates to Complaint Category)
Column H - Description
Column I - Account Manager
Column J - Month (This just takes value from B and converts to month, so hopefully I can sort by month if required..)
I did see a few examples of look up forms but am struggling to customise them to suit me.
Ideally I need a combobox & textbox in serach field. So user can choose the "Search by" category using combobox e.g. Complaint No, Customer or Month and then enter the relevent text in the textbox to carryout the search.
and then use labels & listbox to display the related fields on the form. The reason I prefer labels is that I do not want users to edit the info. and listbox to show multiple results out of which user can choose specific one....e.g. when user does a search by Customer, I want listbox to show the various products that customer has logged complaints for.

I currently have a search and insert data userform which finds specific data from the textbox and displays the results in a listbox. Then I can select a specific result in the listbox and insert this data into a selected worksheet row. The problem is that the userforms code is out-of- date, i have changed to workbook to a point that the userform doesn't work properly. What i need is a new userform that can do the same thing but with the code simpler to change in case of new updates. Here is some information what is needed:
The data that userform gets information from is on a different Workbook called Database.xls, Worksheet called Data and the Range is A:E. The Data is Product Information which is in the Columns A to E:
A = Product Number (The format is 000-000-00)
B = Product Name (No format is Text)
C = BA (The Format is 00)
D = Price (The Format is £0.00)
E = PQTY (The Format is General)
The Textbox needs to be able to search two different Columns A and B and also their representing formats. For example able to search for the product name or number which formats are 000-000-00 or 00000000. The Listbox needs to show the Datas formats like 000-000-00 and £ 0.00. The Insert button needs to insert a selected row from the lisbox results and insert the Product Number from that row into a selected worksheet row cell which is in Column J. This is the existing code and example.xls if you want some more information on what i need:
Private Sub cmdInsert_Click()
Dim X As Long, ws As Worksheet, i As Long, ii As Integer
Set ws = ActiveSheet
ws.Unprotect ("seasons")
With ActiveSheet
X = ActiveCell.Row
End With
With Me.ListBox1
For i = 0 To .ListCount
If .Selected(i) Then
ws.Cells(X, 10) = .List(i, 0).............

I am trying to populate a UserForm with data from a spreadsheet using a search function instead of just providing a Next and Previous search function (which works). The following code is able to search for and select the correct row on which the data resides.
Private Sub cmdBlankFind_Click()
Dim FindMe As Variant, FindCell As Range, FindCell2 As Variant, Data As Variant
With Range("BLANK")
FindMe = InputBox(Prompt:="Please enter search criteria:")
Set FindCell = .Cells.Find(What:=FindMe, After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt _
:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:= _
False, SearchFormat:=False)
FindCell.EntireRow.Select
Data = FindCell.Value
tbxBlankAccount.Value = Data(1, 1)
End With

I have sheet1 along with three columns as below
Result column will show the result after sum ** column A & B
[Code] ......
This is simple that i will add this formula =A2+B2 in Result column cell C2.
But i want to perform this addition action on Sheet2 and return the result in column C2 ** Sheet1.
What formula should be populate in Result column ** Sheet1 that could catch addition formula from Sheet2 dynamically and display the result ** column A & B in Sheet1 .
And what type ** formula should be use in Sheet2 to add two columns dynamically.
The same concept that we are using in any functions like as below:
Sub Function Plus (value1 As Double, value2 As Double)
Plus = (value1 + value)
End Sub

I have a column of numbers, for simplcity lets say they are 1,2,3,4,5. The numbers change automatically, so the column can look like 1,1,1,1,1 or 1,5,3,3,2 etc. I would like to know which command can monitor this column and return a true statement if two or more of those numbers match the number I specify.

One of the useful functionality was the Excel-Addins , now I would be glad if someone could help me by posting the latest Addin or Analysis tool-pack. A setup file would be of great help as some of my formulae are suing such functions which ach are not provided by the reguale EXCEL such as "QUOTIENT" and "NETWORKDAYS"..
There's just one more request , I had a very good font by the name "POOR RICHARD" in one of my files, however after formatting and re-installning I do not have it anymore.

I work in a small team of 5 people, but each of us is very busy and get emails from our manager asking us to complete different tasks. I have made a userform in excel for our manager to create the tasks in and put all the details in sheet1. This creates each separate task on a separate row. Now I want each of my colleagues to log into the sheet and be able to retrieve a task with the same userform. I am giving each task it's own ID, so I want to be able to search by this and the userform will be populated with the task details. I also have combobox's with the status of each task (Completed, In progress etc.) I want to be able to change these in the userform too.
VB:
Private Sub UserForm_Click()
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()

My difficulty: I have an Excel 2007 DB xlsx Workbook file (mydb.xlsx) made up of several (8) Worksheets. I can't modify the content of this DB. For this reason I 've created another Workbook (MyGUI.xlsm) implementing a user interface for db querying.
The userform let the user making searches using the find method (criteria: "Text contains...") In the DB file there is one particular Sheet with thousands of entries. This makes the searchs too long (30 seconds). During this period the entire form is blocked.
My question: when the user realizes the search is too long I'd like to stop the current search
introducing for example a new button "stop current Search" to click it in these situations.

I came across a userform which was perfect for my needs, as I only had to create additional fields, which I did and have attached. However, since I have more than 10 fields, I was getting an error with respect to the listbox function, where it stated that the list property could not be found. I gathered from the searches I did, that this is the max limit for this particular function. I have been unsuccessful in finding a solution, partly because I don't know very much and I'm not understanding how to incorporate some of these solutions into the vba code. I've created simple userforms before, but this one is a little more advanced than my current capabilities.

I'm using a userform to report on set of worksheets. Two of the functions are:
- reporting on the number of contacts with a client
- displaying the details of all contacts with selected client in one textbox.
I can't work out how to concatenate the text of all the contacts relating to one client in a text box (txtContactHist) on the userform.
Using the countIf function I'm trapping zero matches.
The worksheet containing the contacts has the following data columns:
Col A - Customer ID
Col B - Detail of contact
Col C- Date of Contact
Columns B and C contain the data I want to capture
Column A (the customer ID) is the column that is searched for a match ( via the userform text box (txtLic.Value))
To work out the total number of contacts, I use this bit of ...

Any way to use a search form I've created to delete data from the original sheet. What I'm doing here is using advanced filter to copy data from the original database onto a temporary sheet to display in this list box. I've gotten almost everything to work properly, but since this is populated by advanced filter, I don't really even know where to start on my delete button.
Code:
Private Sub Search()
Dim Criteria As Range
Dim SearchRange As Range
Dim SearchResults As Range
Set Criteria = Range("Values!Criteria")
[Code] ......
So I was thinking something like this:
Code:
Private Sub cmdDelete_Click()
lstResults.Value.delete
End Sub
But I know this won't work.

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."
