Search And Move Text
Jun 16, 2008
I am working on a macro and, as part of it, I would like to look at column H of my spreadshet. If the wording in any cell in column H begins with the word, "total" I would like the cell contents of the cell in column G and up one to be dropped down one. Here is an example:
Let's say that the words "total money" is found in cell H2. I would like the cell contents of cell G1 to be moved to G2, making boths cell side-by-side having text in them - G2 and H2.

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.

I want to share the excess amount with negative ones and I also want it to be displayed in what percentage amount is switched. For example: D2 has excess amount of 50 but D3,D5 and D8 has a short amount of 10,10 & 30 Now I want from D2----20% (i.e D2/D3*100) should switch to D3, 20% should switch to D5 and remaining 60 should switch to D8. Is there any way of doing the same in excel.

I am trying to position the cursor in a spreadsheet column based on the data within the column but am struggling with the software to do it.
What I have is:
(a) A column (A:A) containing a mix of up to 500 numbers (1 to 3 digit) and a few text entries (1 to 6 char). These form the basis of a movement log where say 100 different drivers (each with unique identity) are logged in and out, so there will be duplicates.
(b) A number of other columns logging task/times etc but the one I am interested in (B:B), contains a tick (martlet font "a") to denote the driver has departed.
What I want to do when a driver departs, is have a quick way of finding (from the top down) the row containing the drivers number (A:A) where the driver logged in, but has not yet departed (so I can tick him out!).
So from the top: find the first row (in A:A) matching a specific number/string, where B:B is also blank and position the cursor at B"x").
I have imagined a "button" with data entry at the top of the sheet being the easiest physical way of doing it but am open to offers.
Can the Cursor (or cell?) be highlighted as well, because this is not always easy to see in bright light.

I have a sheet which I need to arrange and it looks like -
Column A
Column B
Column C
Column D
[Code]...
the values in Column B, C , D , E & F need to be in new columns based on what we have in Column A associated with "1"
Output should be -
Column A
Column B
Column C
[Code]....
so whatever is in Column A associated with "0" should remain in place whereas whatever is in Colimn A associated with "1" should get added to the new columns. 0 and 1 resembles the 1 Records which are used as a split to normalize the data.

I'm trying to make a macro that will search a folder and move all files from 2008 into another folder. So far it can do this, but what i need is for it to search subfolders also. At this point it moves all files from the main folder, but nothing from the subfolders.
Option Explicit

Dim strName As String, strMid As String, strExt As String

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.

I need to create a macro to do the following:
Search the activecell for a text string (a), and then either paste in text string (b) at the end of the cell if (a) is found, or text string (c) if (a) is not found.
For example, if the activecell has "AA/" in it, I want the cell to become "AA/01" (pasting in "01" at the end), and if the cell has just "AA" in it, I want it to still become "AA/01" (pasting "/01" at the end). The macro will be linked to a commandbutton.

I am using Windows XP and Office 2003.
I am looking to automate a process where information is sent to someone in a text format and they in turn transfer that data to an excel file. It basically looks like this (but includes a lot more info):
Service Request #: 123456
Instrument Type: New Instrument
Lot/Serial #: 123456
SR Type: Product Complaint
Service Coverage: Maintenance Agreement
The info on the left (text preceding the colon) is always the same but the values following the colon can change. The excel file has all of the text before the colon and they just enter the information into the cells. I am looking to make it so that an Excel macro (or maybe a word/outlook macro) automatically scans the text document and sends this info to the exact same cells in excel every time.
The text file is actually a message from an Oracle database and I am not going to be able to make any changes to the way the data comes in.

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 two worksheets. Sheet 1 has 2 columns, Column A the restaurant's name and Column B contains the review score. So sheet 1 is kinda like this:
Restaurant |Score
Ruby Tuesdays 80
TGIF 78
Outback 92
Sheet 2, Row 1 column B-E contain restraurant names (only on the top row, like field names).. i.e. I manually put the date in because typically the projected date is different from the actual review date.
-A----------- B ----------------C ------D-------- E-----
Date |Ruby Tuesdays|Olive Garden|TGIF|Ruths Chris|
I need the data from Sheet 1 Column B moved to sheet 2 in the next open row (i currently have data in row 1..the field names and down to row 35). This will be continuous so each time i need it to add the score as a new row in the correct field (restaurant name), IF the restaurant isnt listed, I want a new field named with the restaurant name and then place the score in the correct row and column. So, in the example I'd need Outback added.

I inherited a spreadsheet from someone who knows nothing of excel, its massive and I'm trying to organize it into an actual spreadsheet instead of some weird note taking program.
Is there an easy way to take a couple of Cells worth of text and move into one cell combined.
I.e.
This is
just one
Example
Above would be one example, there are 3 cells used to input one sentence... I want to move those to one cell to read
This is just one example
There are also cells with Data Separated by a "/" is there a way to separate that quickly without manually typing or reformatting my wrists are starting to hurt

I have an Excel sheet with several columns of data, each containing the link to a website. To the far right of this data, I have a column called "Official Source" in which I'd like to copy over any website links containing the phrase "sec.gov" (if there are any, if not than leave the cell blank).
For example, if I have the following data in my sheet:
Column A Column B Column C
[URL].... [URL].... sec.gov/Ar
Than I would want the last source to move to column D -
Column A Column B Column C Column D
[URL].... [URL].... sec.gov/Ar
how to do this?

I am trying to create a macro to do the following (Microsoft Excel 2002 SP3):
1 - Select the text from the active/selected cell (i.e. B1)
2 - Cut the text from B1
3 - Move to the cell directly above the active/selected cell (i.e. A1)
4 - Add a space to the end of whatever text is in A1
5 - Paste the contents that were cut from B1 after the text and space in A1
6 - Delete the row where the text was cut from (i.e. entire row B)
I have never written code for macro's before, only done recording, but just can't seem to get this sequence to work .

Sheet1
Removed screen shots - Please DO NOT use actual personal information, sample data only! - Moderator
Some of the people on this list have a second name entry on the line below their first name entry. ALL of the people on the list have an Address2 on the line below their Address1.
How would I move the second name entry into the cell next to the first name entry, and then concatenate them, and then also move the Address2 entry into the cell next to Address1 (but not concatenate these)?

In a large database with a large portion of cells that contains a flag to the left of a number "<LD 2.0" what would be the quickest way to move the flag to the left of the number so that it reads "2.0 <LD". This seems like it should be simple to do. I would prefer not to have to use a second cell and formula to do the modification if that makes sense. I'd rather do a "Find and Replace" if possible.

There are basically four fields of text (date, trans. #, merchant, $ amount) all in one cell that I would like to have in 4 separate columns without having to cut-paste, cut-paste, cut-paste. Is it possible for me to break this information up quickly into 4 separtate columns? I have about 400 lines of text like this and would like to find a faster way to do it.

I have a column which contains a series of alphanumeric characters some start with the alpha characters and others end with them.
As an example ABS1234, 1234ABS, 12k34AB needs to be ABS1234, ABS1234, AB12k34. The number of alpha characters at the end will be a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 3. Is there some way that I can move the Alpha characters, at the end, so that they are always at the beginning of the string?

I am importing a 20 character text string (from a barcode scanner) to H2. I need to send that data to the next unused row in Column A (after insuring that no matching text currently exists in Column A-no action taken if matching data is found). I can provide a copy of the sheet, along with a description of the project.

I am working with a column which always displays the cell contents with oldest notes by date first, then the newest note last. I would like to have the contents from a cell reversed with the newest user input by date on top which will simply when reading. Here is an example of a cell. The string always starts with (MM/DD/YYYY TT:TT:TT AM, then user name).

I download our monthly bank transactions (.csv). I have a workbook with sheets named for each creditor or expense.
I would like move each row, based on the specific word in a cell row, to the specific worksheet.
Here are some typical transactions in the Description column:
Some are specific:
1/7/2008ACH WEB-SINGLE 9085863 VONAGE AMERICA VONAGE
“Moved to the Vonage worksheet.”
Others are not so obvious:
2/1/2008CHECK CARD PURCHASE XXXXX4636 BOSTON MARKET #0450 GREENSBURG PA
“Moved to the Eat Out worksheet.”
2/21/2008CHECK CARD PURCHASE XXXXX4636 ASPCAPS XXXXX0028 MD
“Moved to the ASPCAPS worksheet.”
2/19/2007POS PURCHASE POS54309901 0014264 PITTSBURGH ST GREENSBURG PA
“Moved to the Grocery worksheet.”
I was able to find the following while during a Search:
Move Cells Containing Specific Word In Column To New Sheet
The question was answered, in addition to Dave Hawley, by Bill Rockenbach who inserted the following code - “Sub FindWord()”
Option Explicit
Sub FindWord()
Dim Sentences
Dim Word As String
Dim i As Long
Dim iWordPos As Integer
Dim lRow As Long
Dim sWord As String
If this is a possibility for what I'm looking for, I’m not sure how to implement it into my situation.

I am trying to have rows moved from (Schedule) to (Complete) in the attached workbook. The criteria to have the row moved would be the user-selected "Status" list changing to "COMPLETE" in Column G.
I would like to have the row cut and deleted from Sheet4 (Schedule) once "COMPLETE" is selected from the list in Column G with rows below moving up. The row would then be inserted into Sheet2 (Complete) at the top of the list (Row 7) and rows would move down below the new entry. I would also like to have the formatting remain uniform (every other row fill)

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?
