Search A Column For A Given Cell.
Oct 12, 2008
I'm trying to get a formula to give a response if a given cell matches any of the values in a row. This formula does not work: B2=IF(A2=D2:D6;D1;IF(A2=E2:E6;E1;0))
Spreadsheet: see attachment. I know one solution to the problem but it cannot be the right one. B2=IF(OR(A2=D2;A2=D3;A2=D4;A2=D5;A2=D6);D1;. I'm using Excel 2007, and it must be a way to easily check one cell up against a row or column. The solution with "OR" statement will be extremely long for a long list, and many columns.

I'm using the following code to open a target document and find a cell in this document in column A which has the same value as an another cell in the target document:
Sub findme()
Dim idn As Range
Set idn = Range("CZ2")
Workbooks.Open Filename:="c: argetfile.xls"
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
Columns("A:A").Select
Selection.Find(What:="idn", After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt _
:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:= _
False, SearchFormat:=False).Activate
End Sub
Can any one tell me why the result of this search ends up with cell A2 which is empty, although the CZ2 cell has an another value, which can be found in column A.

search column "E" for a specific text value (let's say "it"). When found, copy the value in column "A" for the corresponding row where "it" was found to another cell "F2". When copying to cell "F2", if a value already exists in cell "F2", then no nothing else copy the value. If no "it" was found in the column, do nothing. I will continue to search, but since I am new to VBA it takes me a bit to find what I specifically need.

[|Code]...
So what I am looking to do is search the APN row in the Data Tab that starts with the number from the APN # row in the APN Tab and then copy the row to a new/existing tab named after the Description on the APN Tab.
I think that I have explained what I need to do

Want to look in one column and find the first non-blank numerical value, then have it return a value from another column.
Used to nest multiple IF functions together from different cells, but it seems overly complicated and time consuming. Sometimes I have over 30 cells to check.
For example, if Column A contains weekly sales data by week, entered weekly, and Column E has corresponding comparison data from the previous year. I want to enter a formula to check the first row that has sales data entered and have it match up the comparison value in the other column.

What I have: (Table1) A table with multiple columns. One column consists of cells that can contain different types of information in a non-consistent way. One thing is for sure: if a cell contains data, it will always contain a name of a person. E.g. a cell in that column could contain the following: "838374987343 based on 98989 John 990999", or "000000000john", or "William 39843984 more text and even more text"
(Table2) A separate table that contains the names of people in a column, e.g. "John", "William"
What I want:A formula that searches for the names (mentioned in Table2) in Table1 and copies this name in a new column.
Result:A new column with the copied names as content.

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.

I am building a Workbook which takes data from SheetA and inserts it into SheetB.
Part of the data is only entered when a positive value exists.
I then do an export from SheetB.
The problem is that I need to get the column number and pass it to the cell reference based on the field name in row 1.
Dim sFindstring As String
Dim rFindcell As range
Dim iR As Integer
Dim iC As Integer
sFindString = " Find this string in the cell"
'Using cells find the findstring
Set rFindCell = Cells.Find(What:=sFindString, After:=[A1], LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious)
'OK so look here
iR = 3
'I am trying to pick up the column number
iC = rFindCell.Column
rFindCell throws an object or with block variable not set error. Is there some property that I need to set.

I have a file which has in excess of 12,000 rows of data in 5 columns (sample file attached with fake data). The five rows are:
"First Name" "Last Name" "Name" (uses CONCATENATE to combine column A & B) "Email" "Date Attended"
There will be duplications in the list as people will have attended more than once over the years.
What I want to do is search through the email addresses (Column D with D1 being the header) and where there is a duplicate email address copy the cell to the right of the duplicate (F#) into the next available cell to the right of the first occurance and then delete the row with the duplicated email address.
I am on Windows 7 and Excel 2010

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"

I have an array 20 Rows x 42 Columns, which contains a competition draw.
I need to search this array for a unique value and return whatever the time is in the first column on the same row as the value appears, and enter it into column C in the Womens Times sheet.
I also want to return into column D the court number from row 3.
The reason i want this automated is as teams enter / withdraw we may need to drag the games from court to court to fill gaps, so i want the Womens Times sheet to update accordingly.
I have been messing around with index and match, but cannot quite get it to return what i need.
I have attached an example ... on the sheet "Womens Times" in column A there is a list of game numbers ( #1W etc etc) indicating womens game #1 and so on. The main sheet i am using also has a seperate tab for the mens games, hence the designator of W or M on the end of the game number.

I am trying to get a formula that will search one column range “B” and pull data from another, “D”. Dates are down column “B” and some of those dates are repeated several times. In column “D” there is only one piece of data (a number) entered for each day. Eg, if 08/06/2009 has been entered 3 times in column “A”, there will only be data entered in 1 of the cells of column “D” and blank cells in the other 2.
Column B -- Column D
07/06/09 -- 54000
08/06/09
08/06/09 -- 62000
08/06/09
09/06/09 -- 61000
I couldn’t get the LOOKUP function to work properly, as there are duplicate dates in column “B” and I often got a result of 0 returned.
As I’ve only got 1 piece of data added in column “D” per day and any duplicate days would just have blank cells in “D”, I can actually get a SUMIF function to work, SUMIF(B3:B60,DATE(2009,6,8),D3:D60). Although it does work, it doesn’t feel right using it and I would prefer a formula that would return just the one cell, instead of the sum of a range of cells.

See attached document. Basically I need to know the name associated with the ID in column B.

I like to search in a columns(1) for specific words say “Don” and then write in another column (say column 6) as “one”. Then it should keep doing until the last cell in that column. It should do nothing if "Don" is not found.
How can I do it?

use the VLOOKUP function when the column I need to search is not column A?
I have a Workbook with two worksheets in it and in Sheet 1 I have 10 columns of various text and numbers. In cell A1 of sheet 2 I will fill with a certain code that appears in column E in Sheet 1. The result I would be looking for should come from Column A in Sheet 1. I thought that the following would work copied into B1 of Sheet 2 but it doesn't appear to - =VLOOKUP($A1,'Sheet 1'!E$1:$E$481,1,FALSE).

I need to come up with a way to search Sheet1 column-by-column and within each column search cell-by-cell. The value within each cell is a string and there are empty or blank cells between data (Ending the search after 100 rows is sufficient). As the macro iterates down each column and finds a cell that contains data, I need it to copy that data and paste it in a column on Sheet2. Basically, as the macro searches column A with space between data in Sheet1, it needs to copy that data to column A with no spaces in Sheet2. This needs to repeat for 20 columns.

I am basically trying to find the first non-empty cell in a range, but I want the macro to look down columns first. In other words, I want it to look down column A, then column B, and so on. Right now I believe it is searching by rows.
With Columns("A1:D15")
.Find(what:="*", after:=.Cells(1, 1), LookIn:=xlValues).Activate
End With
how to make it search through columns then rows?

Works great, however I need to tweek this somehow to search row "5" across dor "DEC" and when its found get the value 6 rows down which will be in row "11"

The end goal: to take the list of transactions provided by my bank and make a spreadsheet that adds up all the transactions for a different type.
I have already figured out that =IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("wal",B5)),C5,"") works REALLY well when searching for Walmart. I was originally using FIND instead of SEARCH but I found--through this site--that I should use SEARCH instead because FIND is case sensitive and SEARCH is not. considering I have found walmart listed 3 different ways: WALMART, Wal-Mart and WAL-MART. B is the "description" column I am searching and C is the amount column that I want to copy if it matches the search string.
I want to consider McD, Wendy's, BK and Chick-Fil-A all 1 category(column), instead of 5+ different categories.

These values are also contained in column Q among/with many other values. I am looking for a script that will find these 4 values in column Q and delete them by shifting the cells up. I need something like:
Look A1, If the same value exist in Q column Then delete the same value cell in Q and shift cells up
Look A2, If the same value exist in Q column Then delete the same value cell in Q and shift cells up
Look A3, If the same value exist in Q column Then delete the same value cell in Q and shift cells up
Look A3, If the same value exist in Q column Then delete the same value cell in Q and shift cells up

I'm trying to simplify a macro so that I don't have to manually find the column to change each time. Basically, I want the macro to search for a column that contains [alt enter], and then add that column name to the existing macro below.
I tried various "find" or "match" comands in VBA, but am unsure how to execute the command so that the result of the find/match affects the highlighted line below.
VB:
Sub Seperatefromlinebreaks()
'working for active sheet
'copy to the end of sheets collection
ActiveSheet.Copy after:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)
Dim tmpArr As Variant
Dim Cell As Range
