This is the script I have now:
[Code] ......
It works, unless there is a column before the "Categories" column that has the word "Categories" somewhere in its text. So basically if there is a column that has "Unit Categories" it finds that column when I really want it to find a column that has exactly "Categories" as the text and nothing else (but I don't want it to be case sensitive).
How do I force an exact match using this script?
I have a file with duplicate names of test id's in col a. In col b I have single test id's and col c I have test names. I need to search col a for exact match of test id in col b and if it is there then put the name of test in col c into col d.
See attached document. Basically I need to know the name associated with the ID in column B.
I need to search for an exact match within a cell & i am unsure of how to go abt it. Eg ) Cell A1 contains "Emea West,Emea East,Emea". I want to search for the term "Emea" in the contents of the Cell A1. I cant use Find() as using "=FIND("Emea",A6)" returns 1 ... But i want an exact match i.e "Emea" only which in this case should be 21. The Exact() works well if Cell A1 had a single value ...I guess I would need to use some array function here which will parse through contents of the cell , but am not sure on how to go about
View 5 Replies View RelatedLet us say I have the following text in Cell A1. "There is a fault in the cal cycle.Need to update the records." And in cell A2 I have the following text. "Called for backup assistance. There is an issue with numbers." I cells B1 & B2 I need a particular formula which searches for the substring "cal" exactly and returns true if present. In cell A1, we have "cal" in the text. So it should return true for me in cell B1.
However in cell B2 I need false to be returned even though I have "Called" inside the text. I need true to be shown only for those cells where we have the exact text "cal" and no text characters in front or back of it.

to find column position of "1" i am using code
Worksheets("sheet1").Rows(2).Find(What:="1", LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:=False).Column
But it is returning column number of 31 and when i delete or hide that column it returns column number of 41.
Cant i search for exact value 1 in my row?
I am new to VBA and am having difficulties in getting a find function to successfully locate search criteria within cell. When the search criteria matches exactly that of the cell contents then the code works; however should the search criteria only form part of the total cell contents (such as a seach for "the" in a cell containing "the cat sat on the mat") the code doesn't recognise it.
Essentially, I need the code to search a range for the required string and if found within a cell activate that cell and populate a combobox with the full cell contents of the activecell.offset(0,-2).
The relevant section of code attached below:
Dim role_count as range
Dim role as string
If Application.WorksheetFunction.CountIf(Range("Role_Count"), Role) 0 Then
Range("role_count").Select
Selection.Find(What:=Role, After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt:= _
xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:=False _
, SearchFormat:=False).Activate
Me.Controls(ComboBoxName) = ActiveCell.Offset(0, -2).Value
How can i filter a column to show me all the cells containing the word "on" when i try to filter i still get results like canyon or ontario etc which i dont need.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI am having a slight VBA issue I need a little help with. I have created a catalog of books in Column A. As each new letter is reached there is a new heading. For example:
Cell A1 : A
Cell A2 : Book beginning with A #1
Cell A2 : Book beginning with A #2
Cell A3 : Book beginning with A #3
Cell A4: B
Cell A5 : Book beginning with B #1
Cell A6 : Book beginning with B #2
Cell A7 : Book beginning with B #3
Cell A8 : C
etc.
What I am looking to do is create a macro for each letter so that if I went to the "B" macro it would make the active cell A4. However the list of books will grow as my library does, so the macros have to find the letter rather than go to a predefined cell.
The code I have so far is (this example is for the letter B):
Sub B()
Columns("A:A").Select
Selection.Find(What:="B", After:=ActiveCell, _
LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:=False, _
SearchFormat:=False).Activate
ActiveCell.Select
End Sub
However this code finds the first time the letter B is used in a word, not the cell that only has the letter B in it. Also I need to make sure that if the active cell when the macro is run is below the letter that it needs to find that it will still find it. I'm not sure if my current code would do that or not.
I have "systems" that have multiple "units". I what to sum values for units that have EXACT MATCH in the system column. Example data is below.

If the could be longer I would have included "when multiple cells can contain the same value"
I have a very large dataset that I would like to apply the following searches to, but I will include a smaller sample that gets at the point.
For example; in the following sheet:
Cat Dog Lizard
Red 1 2 3
Yellow 4 5 6
Green 7 8 1
If I search for "2", I would like to get back "Red" and "Dog". I was able (by looking at other posts) come up with a series of formula that allow me to obtain the sheet coordinates and convert them into column and row headers (using SUMPRODUCT Row/Column); however, when multiple cells contain the same value, the output becomes the sum of that coordinate and is no longer a reference to a specific header, so a search for "1" would not give me "Red" and "Cat". Ideally, if I searched for "1" I would get back "Red" & "Cat" as well as "Green" & "Lizard", but I would be satisfied with a formula that even just gave me back one of the two header pairs.

I need to return the column header in a table which corresponds to the column that the value I'm querying is in. I've been trying to use the INDEX function coupled with MATCH and COLUMNS function but I'm not getting anywhere. I've found on the web a solution that uses SUMPRODUCT but I can't get that to work either. Unfortunately, I can't supply the data I'm working with as it is confidential. I know my question would be easier to answer if I could supply it.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a workbook with many many sheets in it. The first sheet contains a single column with about 10,000 different values. I'd like to use each of these as search criteria against ALL data in the other sheets (of which there are a good 50 or so). If matches are found (they don't have to be exact case), then I'd like two things to happen:
1. The rows containing the matched search criteria in the first sheet are highlighted.
2. In the cells adjacent to the search criteria in the first sheet, hyperlinks to the matched data are created and named after the sheet upon which this matched data appears.
I've attached a sample file to this post with ideal sample 'answers' to queries made of the first 2 terms.
I am very new withe macro I recieve every day a CSV file from our supplier withe a list of the products that got updated withe new price, stock count, product ID etc.
I have my own worksheet with the product ID that we use, and I want to finde the exact match to my product ID in that CSV file and delete all other that don't match.
But i need them get deletede by rows thos product ID that dosen't match to my workbook.
I tried with this, so it could set an X in front of my match then i could filter and copy it to my workbook but it dosen't work:
Because the same product ID is sometime in 100 rows and the X come only in front of one of them.
=IF(ISNA(MATCH(Q2:Q1000;G$2:G$1000;0));"";"X")
so with some macro. I need to have every row deleted that don't match to my list of product ID.
I have created some code to look in a cell to see if the name matches that which has been input in a drop down list on a combo box on an input form and then copy the value of column 10 in the same row. I created a public variable for that name as txtTenant.
What I wanted to do was to then write the code that if the first cell did not match the name selected (txtTenant) that it would then drop down one cell and compare it and keep going down until it finds a match, right down to the end of the column of data if necessary.
My coding is not working - it stays at the first person it finds in the first cell. I am not sure if I should be using For...next loops or loop.....
This is the

Application. ScreenUpdating = False
RentRow = 2 'sets the first row as row 2 in the data sheet to copy from
NewRentRow = 7 'seta the row to copy to in txtTenant

I'm currently trying to insert the copy range of one worksheet to another. Let's say I have 3 worksheets, one main and two additional info sheet. I want to search column C in main worksheet for blank cell and use column F in the same row as the worksheet name which I want to copy from, then use column E from main worksheet as the keyword for the range I want to copy(range from column E to column Z). But when inserting, I want the keyword in main worksheet such as 'G' in the same row as blank cell to match the 'G' in copied worksheet. Because the 'G' in main worksheet is not in the same column for each row, I try to search the forum but can't find the inserting part. I also attach the example workbook.

I have one condition which needs to be matched. This code I wrote can find the first instance and then offset data to another worksheet accordingly.
My question is whether than can be done for every other instance that appears on my sourcesheet 'Invoicing'. I have considered putting a loop in, but this will only find the first instance over and over again which is pointless.
In one sheet I have customer_code in one sheet (Customer_code) and this is multiple like
C00002604,C00002604,C00002604 and in another sheet (Customer_code_details)
I have the same code but here the count us much more than earlier sheet (Customer_code). if Customer code exists the same code 3 times the same code exists also in sheet (Customer_code_details) for 5 times.
In customer_code sheet I have 8724 data but Customer_code_details sheet I have 8840 data.
I am normally sorted the two columns and checking t manually.

I looked for this - but no luck and the tips did not answer it either
(in fact I have used an example but it does not work - in my case ).
I am using H lookup but need to find the exact match.
I know that you can use false on a Vlookup to get an exact match but it does not appear to be working with Hlookup.
I attach an example and hope someone can enlighten me...
When an exact match to the lookup value is not found, the function goes to the highest value that is less than the lookup value.
What do I do if I want to return the closest value, but not less than the lookup value?
For exampe, in my screenshot, if my lookup value is 6 horsepower, I want to return the efficiency for the next highest value (if no exact match) for 7.5 HP. Function would return 89.5

I'm trying to use the MATCH function. I want to locate an exact name. I used the formula:
=MATCH(A6,A3:A10,0). This is the name cell I want to retrieve, the column in which the information is found, and 0 for the exact match. The return answer I get is 4.
How do i find an exact match in a range (Text exactly the same just like the exact function)
=MATCH(A1,B1:B10,0) This will match the rad and Rad to be the same but what i want is the exact match
I know the exact function does not take an range so how can i amend to take this to account?
Something like =Exact(A1,B1:B10)
