Search For Substring Within String Of Text Which Is Exact Match?

Jan 6, 2014

Let 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.

Search For Exact Match Column Header?

Mar 13, 2014

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?

Fornula To Search For An Exact Match Within A Cell

Jul 17, 2006

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

How To Find Exact Text String Match

Jun 16, 2014

In the four rows of text below I'm trying to match each gas stick to its corresponding gasline.

I think I can count over to "GAS STICK" and get the number. <15> From that point I can count over to "," (comma) and get that number. <26> So the gas stick will be between the first number and one less than the second number. <GAS STICK 1>

I need completing this code to place a the line or stick number in a cell B of the same row. Column A would have the description and column B of the same row would either be "1" or "11" respectively. Column C would be the shortened description (GAS STICK 1).

1] "HUNGA, DUNGA, GAS STICK 1, THINGY"
2] "DOHICKY, GAS STICK 11, THINGUS"
3] "SCAPPEN, DAPPER, GASLINE 1"
4] "SUCH, AND, SUCH, GASLINE 11"

[Code] .....

Find Function Where Search Criteria Isn't Exact Match For Cell Contents

Dec 19, 2011

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

Search Multiple Worksheets Against List Of Non-Exact Search Criteria?

Nov 2, 2009

I 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.

Jun 2, 2012

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.

Excel Has No String Search Function With Instance Choice?

Nov 4, 2012

I don't have to keep using the ridiculous Substitute() work-around when I need to grab cell text after the nth instance of a character. In doing data cleanup I'm constantly having to grab text between, say, the 4th space character and the 6th one. Since Search() doesn't have an instance parameter, I end up having to use the 'Substitute trick', since it's the only string function that does have one.

See below for a typical example of the convoluted formula I need, and another example of it if Search only had 'instance' available. Simplifies the formula quite a bit.

*Typical real example, here to find the word between the 4th and 5th spaces in A1:

"=MID(A1, SEARCH("^", SUBSTITUTE(A1, " ", "^", 4)),
SEARCH("^", SUBSTITUTE(A1, " ", "^", 5))-SEARCH("^", SUBSTITUTE(A1, " ", "^", 4)))

Fantasy, 'fixed' example after MS adds instance:
=MID(a1, SEARCH(" ", a1, [instance #4]), SEARCH(" ", a1, [instance # 5])-SEARCH(" ", a1, [instance # 4]))

Formula / Macro To Search For A Particular String

May 20, 2009

how to use a formula or macro or whatever that is applicable to solve my current issue.

For example:

I've the following text below. The prefix of "atest", "bgo", "crun" and "dfly_c" are fixed pattern, however, the text after prefix will change accordingly.

atest_myhomeisfar
bgo_runfast
crun_b:veryfast
dfly_c:bluesky

Now my request is, I would like to have the final output as per below. Notices that there are some additional numbers behind the text (with semicolumn).

Final output:
atest_myhomeisfar:1998
brun_veryfast:2009
cfly_bluesky:1790
dfly_c:bluesky:1800

My question is, is it possible to create something to handle this issue? I mean something that will seach thru a particular fixed pattern as mentioned above and add the number behind it?

I would like to do it one at the time (one prefix at a time). Not mass searching and adding.

For example:
Search all "atest*" pattern and add an additional number behind.

Making Userform Search Less Exact?

May 21, 2012

I have a userform where I key in something into a textbox, click search and then the results will be returned into the textbox or into a listview if there are more than one instances.

Now, when I type in "Box1-A( )", the only result that will be returned is "Box1-A( )" if it is present in my spreadsheet. Is there a way I can make the userform return results as long as the keywords are there? In this case, the keywords would be "Box1-A" (without the ( ) at the back).

Here is the code I'm using

Code:
Private Sub cmbFind_Click()
Dim LR As Long
Dim strFind As String 'what to find

[Code]...

Was working on this code on another excel forum but I forgot my password and I can't retrieve it at the moment.

Search Engine Of Non-exact Word Using Userform

Jul 4, 2012

I have a userform for the user to use a search engine on what he needs. The following code I have written it, but it is only good if he writes exact wording of the document name. How can I twist the code to make the search look for approximate words,

The search engine will try to look in for all the titles on "Result" worksheet and copy/past it to a new sheet called "search". so when the user types in the userform "specification" for instance, it will look all titles (Specifications, specification, spec, brown color spec) that has this word in the "Result" sheet and then it will copy/paste it in the Search Sheet.

Code:
Private Sub ok_1_Click()
Dim sht As Worksheet
Set sht = Worksheets("Result")
'if no name selected
If Trim(Me.Document_box.Value) = "" Then
MsgBox "Please write a document name."

Exact Match And Offset More Than Once?

Feb 17, 2009

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.

Hlookup & Exact Match

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...

Macro: Search Down Column & Match Then Offset

Nov 19, 2006

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
Sub FillData()

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

Excel 2007 :: Match Partial Text When Partial Text Is Not Exact

May 20, 2014

This is for Excel 2007,I have two sets of model numbers. One set is the full model numbers of the units we use, and the other is an abbreviated form used to lookup up certificate numbers. I need a way to match these up so I can use one set of search criteria to find out if there is a match. Here is an example of what I need to match with a partial text match:

H,AE35(6,9)36+TD and AE3563636D145C2501AP
H,RE36(6,9)36 and RE36936C145B2505AP

if I could do this with a formula that matches multiple items at the same time (ie; if A & B & C match=true) with the above model number being one of those items (certificate numbers are issued for sets, but the other model numbers are fine).If that's not possible, a one time VBA run to match all of the abbreviations at once would also work. If these items are matched up with a one time VBA, the VBA needs to account for their being more than one match for each abbreviation depending on the size of the unit.

So H,AE35(6,9)36+TD could be matched to:
AE3563636D145C2501AP
AE3563636D175C2501AP
AE3563636D210C2501AP

VLOOKUP When Exact Match Is Not Found?

Mar 6, 2014

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
