Search For Number In Text
Aug 21, 2013
I'm having difficulty getting to the result I want using Find or Search. I have a small spreadsheet with data imported from our business system. I need to identify the lines where the Line # is found in the Text column. Using =SEARCH(O2,P2,4), I get the results below. But I want to identify only the entries that are an exact match, not partial matches. Here's a few sample lines:
Line #
Text
Formula Result
What I want

I have a drop down list in cell C6 which I can choose names that look like this: John Doe 1
There can be a 1 or a 2 at the end of each persons name. I would like a formula to search for the 1 and return a blank cell, or search for the 2 and then divide cells E10 by C10. Can someone help me do this?

I have data on two spread sheets which I am trying to cross reference. On the 1st spread sheet I have a list of product codes e.g. 22886, On the 2nd Spread sheet I have a list of product titles which all include product codes within the text e.g. CHRISTMAS FANCY DRESS COSTUME - SANTA SPARKLE OUTFIT 22886 M
I need to insert a formula into the 1st spread sheet which will tell me if based on the product code it is present in the 2nd spread sheet. I have tried VLOOKUP and I think because I am trying to search for a code within a text string it keeps failing! All cells are general cells but the position of the code within the titles varies.

I have the following text
BKG 4.0 CL G 3210x2550 LS 28 PKGL NE
BKG 6.0 CL G 3210x2250 LS 25 PKGL NE
FAB 6.0 AB G 3300x2440 LS 16
FOP 4.0 BZ G 3210x2250 LS 28
FWH10.0 WH L 3210x2550 LS 9
I need a formula which searches within the text to find "LS" and then to return the number after it, this would be either 1 or two digits.
I am thinking if there was a forma that searched for "LS " (Note the space) and then returned the next two digits from the left from the found search ("LS ". I have attached a spreadsheet.

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 am currently using these formulas in separate cells.
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("10AOANAH",'Retail Monthly Data Oct'!C296)),"TYLER OFC","")
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("10AOANAD",'Retail Monthly Data Oct'!C273)),"DALLAS NORTH OFC","")
I am trying to lookup all "10AOANA..." and return names for each of those number when found
For example
if 1 return Dog
if 2 return Cat
Something like this???
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("10AOANAH","10AOANAD","10A0ANAG" Retail Monthly Data Oct'!C296)),"TYLER OFC","DALLAS NORTH OFC","DALLAS SOUTH","")

I am trying to workout a formula to look-up and categorize data from a bank statement, without having to complete manually monthly.
So far I have a formula that returns the amount spent, but would need an extra column and separate table for each category.
IF(OR(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(" "&$G$3:$G$11&" "," "&A2&" "))),B2,0) where
Instead of returning B2, I would like to return a value from the table in column H3:H11 that corresponds with G2:G11, as shown below.
ColumnG ColumnH
Aldi Food
woolworths Food
Coles Food
saint Nicholas School
Blooms Medicines, toiletries, hairdressing, personal items
vodafone telephone
So for example if Aldi is in the text in A2, then I would like to return food ( from a lookup table similar to above) into the column where my formulae is ( say F2).

I need to search multiple columns to find a match before I want the result selected which itself will be in a different column.
It seems to me to be an extension of the VLookup function. Attached is an example of the sort of spread sheet I am trying to pull data from. I am trying to get the result of Area 5G, for site ZZ, KPI 2.1, Date Apr-13. As well as the result for Area 5G, Site (empty), KPI 2.1, Date May-13. I hope this is not to convoluted

I've been using this site mostly for tid bits of code for VBA macros for the past few weeks. One that I was looking at and could really use doesn't seem to be working. I will be the first to tell you I have ZERO idea how to program macros, I just use them. So I was wondering if anyone would be able to fix it, or tell me if I should be doing anything other than copy/pasting it and expecting it to run. The code in question is on this page http://www.ozgrid.com/VBA/find-between.htm
From my understanding, it will find cells between a range of given numbers. When I run it I get a "Compile error: Syntax error" message. And it points me to this.
lFound = rStart .Value
Sub GetBetween()
Dim strNum As String
Dim lMin As Long, lMax As Long
Dim rFound As Range, rLookin As Range
Dim lFound As Long, rStart As Range
Dim rCcells As Range, rFcells As Range
Dim lCellCount As Long, lcount As Long
Dim bNoFind As Boolean
strNum = InputBox("Please enter the lowest value, then a comma, " _
& "followed by the highest value" & vbNewLine & _
vbNewLine & "E.g. 1,10", "GET BETWEEN")
If strNum = vbNullString Then Exit Sub
On Error Resume Next
lMin = Left(strNum, InStr(1, strNum, ","))......................

I have a worksheet(sheet1) that contains, among other things, a column of serial numbers . I also have a separate worksheet(sheet2) with one column of the serial numbers I want to find in sheet1. I need a macro that will take the serial numbers from sheet2 and find them on sheet1(there are duplicates too) so I can copy them to yet another sheet(sheet3). I already know how to do the copying, but am lost on the search.

I have this horizontal list of dates.
4/1/2014 5/1/2014 6/1/2014
A C E
B D F
I am trying to search for a certain date and get its row and column number. I am having trouble finding the dates due to its date formats.
4/1/14 4/01/2014 etc
I am using this code to search Set Foundcell = Range("1:1").Find(What:=(Sheets("Data").Range("AF1").Value)).row
When debugging the value of the Foundcell I am getting NOTHING as a result even if the the value at AF1 is 4/1/14
However if I find using the .Find(What:="4/1/2014").row i am getting the row number
I also tried application.match function. foundcell= Application.Match(Sheets("Data entry").Range("AF1").Value, Sheets("Data entry").Range("1:1"), 0) result is NOTHING

way I could perform a basic search for data in a worksheet and have it display information from each column in various text boxes, which will update the relevant column if you changed the text in the box and clicked on a submit button?
For example the form would initially have just a text box named "RefNum". You click the "search" button. It would then search column A of sheet "References" for a result.
If total results are 0, it will show a message box saying "No results found for reference number 'RefNum'". Otherwise, it would make the text fields below no longer locked and populate each textbox with information from column A, B, C & D depending on which row number the RefNum had matched?

I have an excel spreadsheet that I am trying to format. Each time the spreadsheet is of the same format but with differing amount of numbers. I.e. sometimes it will be a set of 3, the next time might be 6.
I want to write a macro that will find a set piece of text, move it offset(-1,2) and then find the next one.
For example....

what i am trying to do is use concatenate in a vlookup to search for a resource number and date, then return another column in the array.
the formula looks like:
=VLOOKUP(CONCATENATE(D7,$H$6),Roster_Allocation,7,FALSE)
but only results in NA.
if i search for the resource number only, i get the correct result.
also, the res# and date are concatenated in the table array. could this be related to the way excel is storing the dates (40241?) even though both concatenated fields look the same?
i have also tried adding a new coumn which has the res# and dates concatenated as the lookup value but still all NA.

I WANT it to search all of column A for the highest number in the range (which will change daily to a new high number above the highest currently), and return the value in column 4 (column D) that corresponds to that value from column A. This is what I have, but it is not working, it is giving me the number (1) in Cell A800 (which is the lowest valued number in my range. The numbers range in value from 1 to 762 with none repeating (they are sequential). The formula I have is :
=+VLOOKUP(MAX(A76:A2000),A76:I2000,4)

So what I need is this When a user choose name from the combobox and then type numbers in textboxes, I d; like these numbers to transferd in data base column M, but if number of the specific customer in Lists Sheet is 2/3, then the 2/3 of the choosen numbers should transferred rounded to the nearest biggest number. Example: If I choose Maria, and type 30--10--15--25--40, in text boxes, then numbers 20---7--5-17--27, should transfer in database column M.
If i choose Stevens, then numbers should tranfered as ii is. No chance.
