Text Search Returns Cell Text Contents Of Different Column In The Same Row
Search a worksheet for a user defined text string, and have excell return the contents of a predetermined column in the same row in which the text string was found. A prepopulated worksheet has the text "gold" entered in cell T278. 1. user searches for "yellow_metal" 2. Excell finds "yellow_metal" in row 278, say in cell A278. 3. Excell then goes to predetermined column (programed as part of macro or VB), say "T", and returns the text contents of the cell in that column, T278 in this example. 4. Excell returns "gold"

Search For Certain Text, Then Delete The Row, Plus Others
Here is what Im trying to do: I have a VERY large excel file (15,000+ lines) that has groups of text (this is all in one column) I want excel to search for the cells with "UID" and delete that row plus every non-blank row above it. (so it deletes the entire "group") Here is example layout of what Im working with. The end result should be only "groups" without the text "UID" following it. ExampleCell1 ExampleCell2 ExampleCell3 UID = example ExampleCell1 ExampleCell2 ExampleCell3 ExampleCell1 ExampleCell2 ExampleCell3 UID = example Now Im thinking this may be impossible, but I've seen some crazy things done with excel macros and was really hoping someone can help me out. Otherwise Im doing this manually for 15,000 lines of text.

I can do the first loop and insert the new line ok but then I’m out of my depth.

Column Search For Row Data
I have attached a small example. I have a list of data of employees. I want to be able to input a number (in column A in example) and to search the data records for this number. When the number has been found, the corresponding info data from that Row will show in columns B,C & D. I have tried this using LOOKUP etc but find that it is "hit & miss". I can input one ID number and the corresponding details will appear, but very often if I enter any other ID numbers further down the sheet I sometimes get the correct data or I might get the "N/A" error. The error seems to occur, I think, if the next input ID number is higher than the last. The ID numbers I input down column A will NOT be in numerical oredr.

Text Search Insert A Row On A Second Worksheet
Sheet1 has 500+ rows and 30+ columns of data, sorted by text in column G (last name). I want to create a data input sheet for users to manually key in data. I need help to create a macro to cut and insert the row from the data input sheet into Sheet1 - the first row after it finds a match in column G. The text in G can only be one of ten different "last names". It needs to be after the first event because of graphing from the data sheet.

Search Each Cell In Row For Text String
I am using VB and need to search each cell in the row for a string "U30". If it appears, then I need to grab that plus the next three digits, "U30XXX". Otherwise, I need to grab the last six in that row (=RIGHT(M2,6)). I am not sure how to structure the If statement in VB. I searched the forum and help files, but was not sure what to do from here. Currently, I have... Range("I2").Select ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=RIGHT(RC[4],6)" Range("I2").Select Selection.AutoFill Destination:=Range("I2", Cells(Rows.Count, "I")), Type:=xlFillDefault

Select Specified Text In Column
I want to write VBA code to select a cell in a row if one of the cells in that row contains a pre-define text. e.g. In cell A15 the text is Blackbird and A25 the text is Redbird. Sometimes this changes and A33 contains the text Blackbird and A19 the text Redbird. I want a VBA code that will select the cell in column E in the row that contains the text Blackbird. I must be able to specify the text and the column.

Search Column Delete Row If Value Found
I need a VBA code that will search column H for any value that DOES NOT start with "9" (this is a character field). If it finds a cell that doesn't start with "9", I would like it to delete the entire row. It will need to repeat this process for every cell in Column H that has a value and then stop.

Select The Last Non-null Cell In A Row Or Column
I am finding that I am using the 'go to' option frequently in my macros, but I feel very limited by the options that I have (I need to learn VB-I know) I would like primarily to discover how to select the last cell containing anything (not including blanks like the 'last cell' option in the edit>go to) within a selected row. Ideally, I would like a formula to fill downward a given amount of rows so as to prevent myself from having to fill them all the way down to the end of the spreadsheet (therebye making the file to large). Also, If anyone could guide me to a resource at which I can find similar commands.

Macro To Select Cell After Last Row In Column
the macro code to select the cell after the bottom of a column of data e.g. I have data in A1:A300 and I require the macro to automatically calculate the last row in the range (in this case A300) and then to select A301 (in this case) (I know I can record a macro but the number of rows can potentially differ every time I run the macro) N.B.

UserForm To Select Row And Column From 2 Prompts
I have an appoinment calendar that is one month per worksheet - Column headings 09:00 - 20:00 - Row headings 'days and dates of the month' (split into two merged cells of two) ****************See attachment 'Calendar Format.jpg'**************** I have then created a UserForm which has two dropdown combo boxes ****************See attachment 'UserForm.jpg'**************** What I want to do is have a way of using the dropdown boxes to select a column and row reference to enter the other data into the four lines in the outlined box area (see Calendar Format.jpg) I want to be able to select a date - and to have only the dates from the sheet showing would be a bonus! - and have the script use that as its row reference, followed by selecting the time and having it add the column reference, and so selecting the correct cell to be able to then add all the other pieces of data. I would just set it up so that it all worked by selecting the first cell, then adding, but I'm worried about other users not doing that and so causing things to be misplaced or overwritten! I'm more than willing to change most things, but I do need to have those four pieces of info, and I only need to have a simple calendar. If anything is not clear, please ask and I'll try to clarify further! Forgot to add - In the pics I'm using 2007, but I want to be able to run this on 2000/2003 as that's what's in the offices and it's going to be shared on the server.

Search For Text In A Specific Column
I need to find a word in a column, ie. "JAN" in col D (only first found is enough, not all instances) and then display message that "January has been updated", if not found, display message "this month has not been updated". The word "Jan" will be stored in a cell, so I need the code that could pick up the contents of that cell and lookup the col D (in another sheet, ie. "MthMaster") for that word.

Search And Replace Text In A Column
I want to replace all blank cells in column A with the word "BLANK" but my problem is that I need to tell Excel to stop searching for blank cells in column A once and only once column A is equal to the last data row in the column named "Product Number". I tried this macro but, naturally, it replaces all the empty cells in the WHOLE COLUMN. I will always have a header column in row 1. The data is below that (data will always start at row 2). Columns("A:A").Select Selection.Replace What:="", Replacement:="BLANK", LookAt:=xlPart, _ SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False, _ ReplaceFormat:=False How can I change this so that the find/replace macro searches all the way down equal to the last data row in the "Product Number" column? Below are 2 examples. Example 1 is pre macro and example 2 is post macro. ...............................

Search For The Text And Move Everything Under That Column
I have some macros that will look for a certain item and then move it somewhere else on the spreadsheet. However, I can't seem to get the code right to skip over the section if the text is not found. I assume it would be easiest to do it with error handling, but the attempts I've made haven't worked. the macro will search for the text "Name" and move everything under that column elsewhere; then it will do the same for "Date." But currently, if "Name" is not found anywhere on the spreadheet, it will cause an error and ask to end or debug.

Macro To Search A Column And Copy Row Data
I have a dataset that is large. I want to write a macro program that checks the number in cell A1, copies the number and then the rows contents to another worksheet/spreadsheet. Then jumps to cell A2 and if the number is different to that of A1 copy the data of that entire row over from that row to the next worksheet/spreadsheet. If the number is the same as A1 then jump over to A3 Then continue this process but rather than comparing it to A1, compare it to the new number that has been found in coloumn A. For example 7 A 7 A 6 AB 7 A So starting at the first line then jumping the next one then to 6 and finally 7.

Select Column And Delete Row Where Data Is Duplicate
I've got this macro which works well, but I have to edit it to change the column I want to check for dupes. I don't mind doing that, but now I have to share the macro with someone who is not comfortable changing the references in the code every time they run it. As it is it checks column G:G (7) for dupes and deletes the row. Good. I'd like for it to do the same thing, but for whatever column the active cell is in. I can use this: Col = ActiveCell.Column in place of the "7" in the With Range part but I don't know how to replace the "G1:G". Sub DeleteDuplicatesColumnG() With Application .ScreenUpdating = False .EnableEvents = False

Find Next Empty Row And Select Cell In Column A
how i can go about finding the next empty row (and select the first cell of that row (column A))? edit: It probably should be noted that there are cells in Columns A through P. There are rows where all and/or just one cell contains data per row. So i cannot use a " lookup" based on a single column.

Search Cell Value In A Column From Text File
I tried to search the forum first and but i cant find ways to combine everything i wanted to achieve. That's why i'm posting this to consolidate all those...Sample files are attached for better understanding. I have an excel file (sample.xls) which has cell values in column A. These values will then be used to find a match in each of the text files (in this example, sample 1.txt & sample 2.txt) present in the same folder with my excel workbook. I need a macro to perform the scenarios below. 1. Say, the excel file contains a list of cell values in column A. 2. Temporarily open the first text file (sample 1.txt) as an excel workbook. 3. Search each cell value in column A for a match in the first text file. a. If that certain cell finds a match, no matter how many it may find, that cell will be formatted with "BOLD" format. b. If not, that cell will be formatted with GRAY text color. 4. After all the cells have been used, the first text file will be closed and the next text file (sample 2.txt) will be opened temporarily. 5. Repeat steps 3 & 4, except that, when the cell value has "BOLD" format already, it will be skipped and proceed to the next cell. That is, the grayed ones can be turned back to black color and will be formatted to "BOLD" format if a match has been found in the 2nd text file. 6. If there are other text files present within the folder, do steps 2 to 5, until all the text files are searched.

Multi-column Text Search Box Filter
I am trying to create a search filter that checks a cell for text or part of text in 3 columns and then filters out the rows that have a match. So there would be a cell at the top of the page with a line around it and the word type your search criteria here. The used types in a word and excel then looks into 3 columns below that have various data. If there is match then a filter action would kick in and only show the rows where there was a match regardless of the column.

Search For Text Delete This Row And Delete The Row For Every Instance
I have an formula if statement that returns "deletethisrow" if the test is true. For every occurence of "deletethisrow" I want to delete the row. The number instances will be variable each time I run the file. So maybe it will find that string, maybe it will find 10 instances. I want to do some kind of loop that won't error out when it cannot find "deletethisrow", but will delete the rows for each instance where it does find this string. I know it was verbose, but if I just do a loop for a fixed number of loops it will error out if it runs out of rows to delete.

Delete The Whole Row If Any Cell In A Certain Column Has Certain Text
Note: The "Bread Type" column will ALWAYS be in row 1, BUT will ALWAYS be in a different column letter, so I would like this macro to find the "Bread Type" column by name rather than by column number. All criteria should NOT be case sensitive. In the example below, rows 2, 4 & 5, have the text "Wheat" or "Rye" in the "Bread Type" column, therefore, all 3 of these entire rows should be deleted. Yes, I do mean the ENTIRE row, wipe these rows off the face of the earth

Excel Text Search Through Different Types Of Text And Action Based On Text
1. Search an excel sheet "column" for a particular type of text and insert values based on that text (if found) in another column. e.g I have column A1 to A10 with different types of text. I would like to search for the keyword "Risk is high" OR "Risk=High" for each cell in the column and insert a "1" if found beside it's corresponding "B" column. If not found, I would like to insert a "0". So, if the text "Risk is high" OR "Risk=High" was only found in A6, I would like B6 to be "1". Rest of the values in the B column would be "0's", since the text was not found in any of the other cells.
