Search For Different Texts In Column And Copy To Another Cell
Jul 29, 2013
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 have a lookup table in which names of students and the planned session dates are available.
I need to create a chart that has Student Name and Each date of month. The chart should have value of 1 wherever a match is found in the look up table.
I am wondering if combination of searching for multiple strings (student name and date ) will work somehow. The below image explains my problem

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

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 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.

the steps are below
===============
0. Row 1 to 9 in Sheet mv2f will copy into Sheet2 row 1 to 9.
1.Base on data in Sheet1, firstly macro will delete the same datain column A then it will start to search for 04022RP in Sheet mv2f.
2. macro will then copy 14 rows and paste into Sheet2 starting in row10.
3. then looping to 2nd data which is 04024RP T0.55 in Sheet mv2f and repeat the step above.

We are changing management systems here and in order to do so we need to provide the names and addresses of over 400 different people. Our current management system stores people's addresses as a whole for example; 32, Example Street, Town, County, Postcode.
I cant extract just the numbers because I only need the house number and not the postcode.
After searching several forums I thought I had solved it with this.
Cell A1 is the extracted address from current management system reading 32, Example Street, Town, County, IU13 8TY
Cell B1 is =LEFT(A1, SEARCH(" ",O15,1))
Cell C1 is =SUM(MID(0&B1,LARGE(ISNUMBER(--MID(B1,ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(B1))),1))*ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(B1))),ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(B1))))+1,1)*10^ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(B1)))/10)
That only gives me the number "3" though and I need 32.
Basically A1:A400 will be addresses as above and in cell B1:B400 I need just there house number at the start.

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.

i will illustrate what i want to do here with these two excel sheets below. I want to some sort of coding that searches for A and B (Name of the Branch) from sheet 2 and copy the No. of transactions given against A & B from sheet 2 to sheet 1.
OR keep just A & B in sheet 2 and delete the rest of the rows so that i can manually copy and paste values against A & B.
SHEET 1

I am trying to write a macro to search a column for a specific text string which when found, will copy the whole row the string is in. Once this row has been copied, I then want the macro to activate a new sheet and search for the next available empty row to paste the data. Once this has been done, go back to the original sheet and find the next cell in the original column with the specified text string and repeat until the range has been satisfied. Below is the script I have that sort of works.

It's finals week and I need to figure out this last VBA problem for my excel class. (Yes, we are allowed any outside help.)
The code below is something I tried to develope to do the following:
1. Search "N" column for blank cell
2. If cell not blank then select
3. Copy select cell information 3 cells to the left
4. Continue function to next row
I cannot figure out two things with this code. I need the code to copy/paste the information in the cell versus equalling values. Sometimes there is a small .jpg or .gif file inserted into the cell, so copy/paste is desired. Second is I need the function to not copy formulas if possible. I cannot figure either of things commands out. Hoping message boards can help me as they always have in the past.

What I'm trying to do is lookup a description matching the date on worksheet 1 cell (a2) and go to worksheet 2 and copy all descriptions associated with that date into worksheet 1 in cells b3:b6 (array may vary) without duplicates.
The date and descriptions relate to safety inspections and I am trying to include them in a report. The answer is important to me as well as the benefits to many others.

I am trying to write a macro that is able to take a "Part ID" from a column on Sheet "Temp", search sheet "Parts" for that "Part ID" in Column A, copy the corresponding description (listed in next column B) and paste that description into a third sheet "Sheet1" Column D. I would then need to repeat for all lines in sheet "temp"
I could most likely use an IF statement to do the search, but I was hoping to use excel's search function to make it quicker as there are over 1000 parts. For example:
Dim partID = String
Selection.Find(What:= partID, After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt _
:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:= _
False, SearchFormat:=False).Activate
What I am getting stuck on is once the search finds my text in Column A of Parts, how to copy the Description in Column B into Column D of "Sheet 1". A sample file is attached. The output in Column D of "Sheet 1" should say in this example:
Circle
Square
Circle
Rectangle

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.

Attached is the spreadsheet example. Issue: I have a Column B with with entries in the cells i.e. - GroupA, GroupB, GroupC. Some cells can have multiple items and/or nothing in them.
Goal: I would like a formula for Column C that If B2 Contains "GroupA" Then C2 = "GroupA"... Then ofcourse if B3 Contains "GroupA" Then C3 = "GroupA" and so on.
Problem: I've tried the options from the other posts and I run into an issue that if B2 contains "GroupABC" then it puts "GroupA" in C2 and that is what I do not want to happen.

From mySQL database, i am getting a ton of data that is all being inputted into a single excel cell. Within this cell, there are certain data points that i wish to obtain (Bank #, SSN #, Routing #). There are multiple difficulties in obtaining this information.
1. these cells contain the same fields, but different number of total characters (differing in names, addresses, etc.)
2. some of the data points (like SSN) are inputted incorrectly, so even though a SSN is only 9 digits/characters, I may have to output all 11 that the SQL database placed within the cell.
Can I get some help? I'm thinking of a search function/macro within excel, because all of the fields show up correctly.
something like (i know this doesn't work)
= or("cellA1" contains/finds/function SSN,return the 9 characters after "SSN ")
um...yeah. difficult to explain, i'm sorry!
edit: not sure what is wrong the file. I have attached a new one.

I would Need a macro which would Search a Keyword in the excel sheet and copies and pates the data in Cell "A2". for Example "Market" and then after the search it copies 12 rows upwards and 10 columns from the Cell that the word "Market" is placed. And then it copies 12 rows downwards and 10 columns from the Cell that the word "Market" is placed.
I have tried recording the same but it does not work if the Word "Market" is placed in different cell value.

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.

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 this code that I have been using fine until today when it just stop working for me... It's a simple copy and paste using VBA Code. The code finds the last row in Column A and copies the cell to L1. Below you will find the code I'm using and the line in yellow is where I'm getting the error.
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Range("A1").End(xlDown).Select
Selection.Copy
Range("L1").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Range("A1").Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
UserForm.Show
End Sub
This codes runs as soon as the worksheet opens and it has worked for over a year. I'm using MS Excel 2007. Please let me know what you guys think I have tried pretty much everything I can think of but i dont really know what i'm doing when it comes to VBA.
