Search For Pattern Of Numbers / Letters And Wildcard
Dec 19, 2012
I would like to search for a certain pattern that appears in a cell. For example, I have certain cells that begin with a 7 digit project code (Ex: "1234567 - Project Red"). I was planning to use an IF inside a FOR loop and then do an action when I find the cell with the pattern. I thought I remember it being something like Format(########*) so that I have the wildcard on the end since there is more than just the numbers. how to make other patterns work such as Number-Letter-Number or Capital-Lowercase-Capital

I am new in extracting data from excel .
There is a report that contains a various amount data, in one cell it describes the outcome in a summary format of how an issue was resolved.
Is it possible to search a cell of summary text that contains a set pattern with letters & numbers i.e."CL900962" then either place a "YES" or "NO" in another cell if found?
The pattern will always begin with letters "CL" followed by 6 digit number.

i have a list of 2000 fields which have the same format IE "AB10014"
I need to remove the "AB" from every field and leave the #.
Besides putting a space and running text to columns I'm not sure how.

I have a variable that can contain in no predefined order, a number of letters and one two digit number (code). I would like to extract this two digit number from this variable and based on its the value perform a task. I can test for the specific value of this number as there are only about 10 of these 2 digit codes. Im quite happy to have the routine test for the number by comparing them all one by one as there are only 10 it wount take too long.
The best scenario would be to extract the value into another variable which I then could use to construct a "select case" table from which I could then initiate the required task based on that number.

I have a spreadsheet where there are lines of different Wage Types but only certain combinations are needed. For example I have Pay Area 1234 which needs all wage types except those beginning with a 9.
To do this I have set up Sheet1 to look like this:
12341
12342
12343
12344
12345
12346
12347
12348
and not 12349 as I do not require this type.
The problem here is I need to add a wildcard to the end of these so it finds anything that starts with 12341 etc.
Sheet1 contains the personal details of employees and I have concatenated the Payroll Area and Wage type in column D.
Code:
Sub deleterows()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set MySheet = Sheets("data")
LR = MySheet.Cells(Rows.Count, "D").End(xlUp).Row
For i = LR To 2 Step -1
[Code]...

I have numerous formulas that use a macro with an indirect cell reference, for example:
INDIRECT(macro(A21))
I am moving these formulas to a different workbook and I need them to still refer to items in the old sheet. I accomplish this by using this formula:
INDIRECT(CONCATENATE("OtherSheet.xls!",macro(A21)))
This works. However, I need to do a global search and replace for all of these formulas without deleting my indirect cell reference. I could replace
macro
with
CONCATENATE("OtherSheet.xls!",macro
but that would leave me short a ).
Is there a way to use a wildcard to accomplish this? It does not seem that replace
macro(*)
with
CONCATENATE("OtherSheet.xls!",macro(*))

picture this.
Cell A1 = xyz3
Cell B1 = 5
Cell C1 = xyz3-hgfe-56f
I need to do a vlookup on C1 in range A1:B1 that will return B1 if C1 contains the string in A1. I've tried using the TRUE variable in the vlookup formula which does not require an exact match. This works for about 80% of my data but is not 100% accurate. Of course I've got a long list of data ... not just the 3 cells.

I need to get rid of the questions marks in the text on my sheet, but am unable to get my VBA code to search for an actual question mark and not the wildcard. I'm using the replace function as follows:
wsReport. Cells = wsReport.Cells.Replace("?", "")
1. What's the trick to searching for wildcard characters?
2. Is there a slicker way to do this?

I'm trying to perform a search of over 15,000 entries using a wildcard. Sheet1 is a list of streets in the county where I live, and I would like to be able to type a part of the name that will return every instance of that name appearing.
I found a code which i have tried to adapt, but it is not working.
[Code] ....
The item being searched will be entered into TextBox1, and I'm guessing that the error I am receiving is in the .AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:=TextBox1"*" line of code. This is the original sample I found onlne:
[Code] .....
where they were only looking for the letters "GB".

I have a sheet with Names in it. I need to look those names up and find which org they belong to. The problem is the the names have many characters after them, and many names belong to a few orgs, with a the rest belonging to many orgs. (See below)
I have been trying to get a Vlookup to work, but since it can't go left, it won't look up the orgs that don't own at least three names. And I can't get the search to work on the names.
Names:
WSGHG1-8410YFH
WSSMXG-8401B8T
NBSMXG-0310V6R
NBXG-0310V6V

I am trying to run a routine in VBA that will Search for a Part-No. that normally contains asterisks. It is giving me bad positive Search results due to the coding looking at the (*) asterisk's as a wildcard character.
The following Part-No.'s are located in cells (C11:C16):
9L3Z*17757*BCP
6C3Z*16138*AACP
AE5Z*16138*B
AE5Z*17E811*CF
AE5Z*17E811*F
AE5Z*17E810*F
Part-No. to be Searched for:
AE5Z*17E811*F
When the below code is run, the incorrect Part-No. 'AE5Z*17E811*CF' is found in cell (C14) rather than the correct Part-No. found in Cell (C15).
Code:
'The following 2 lines are defaulted for ease of coding
pNumb = "AE5Z*17E811*F"
Range("C11", "C16").Select
[Code] ......

I have a formula in column J that is the following:
=IF(I541="",IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(LEFT(G541,4)&"*"&RIGHT(G541,4),H541)),G541,""),"")
See screenshot:
I need to replace "G542" in the formula above. For example, in cell J541 shown above, I need it to output "1996-1999|2000-2001" instead of "1996-2001" I need the output to include LEFT(G541,4)&"*"&RIGHT(G541,4)

I am trying to come up with a formula that will distribute the numbers as shown in this diagram:
To get the value of each number divide 42,000 by the last number in the pattern. For example the fifth column from the left would be 42,000/18. That means that each number would have a value of 2,333.33. By the time you reach the half way mark, nine in that example, you should have around 21,000, and the other 21,000 should be distributed between the last half (block 10 thru 18). The formulas would have to work on all of the patterns. Can anyone think of a way to match the pattern shown? It doesn't have to be exactly the same pattern just as long as the number of blocks remains the same for each half, and they total 21,000 for each half without going over 42,000 all together. There has to be 11 rows from top to bottom.

I am building somewhat of a rudimentary search engine that looks for a name, address or unique identifier, using an Index Match formula that searches with a wild card:
=INDEX(Name,MATCH("*"&F3&"*",Name,0))
"Name": is the defined name for column C on a separate sheet.
F3: is "search field"
The current formula (above), only returns the first match. The source data is only 927 lines so not overly large. I would like to have an additional page that will show the potential results from the wildcard search via a formula. Therefore needing results; 2, 3, 4, 5 etc. from the Index Match. I have searched high and low for solutions but I have found none in regards to retrieving multiple results from a wildcard search, only on a specific term.

Pre-requisite: I would consider myself to be very poor with excel, based on what I've read on this forum and found on my web-searches. I have a worksheet that has a list of data on the left going vertically, then a summary of this data going horizontally across the top. It is not arranged in such a way that transposing the data will do what I want. I am pulling the 5th word out of the title of each block of the vertical data and need to show this word on the horizontal section.
When I use this formula to pull the 5th word: =MID(MID(MID(SUBSTITUTE(A2," ","^",4),1,256), FIND("^",SUBSTITUTE(A2," ","^",4)),256),2,FIND(" ",MID(MID(SUBSTITUTE(A2," ","^",4),1,256),FIND("^",SUBSTITUTE(A2," ","^",4)),256))-2)
I need to increase A2 to A30, then A58 (up by 28 every time) in every instance in that formula. The fill handle increases the values by 1, instead of 28 (even if I do 3 or 4 instances manually) How do I do this? I've run into this problem in other scenarios, and there HAS to be a way to get around it.

I have a spreadsheet wtih a number of rows that contain answers to different criertia in each column.
The row may therefore have cells that either have numbers or letters.
Column A will be the title of the row.
I want to write a function to find the average value of the numbers in any row with title 'x'.
So it would look down column A, and look for those called 'x', and then average all the numbers across all those rows.
I have tried to use =averageif, but I think the fact there are letters in the cells being assessed (which I just want to be ignored) creates an error.

is possible to have a drop down list where you can type in the first few letters of a word and have the drop down list go to the the words that begin with those first few letters instead of having to scroll down the entire list to find the word / item you are looking for.
I ask since the drop down list may end up having up to 1000 words in it.

I am trying to code a macro that will search through a selected range of cells for key letters, for instance this cell may contain any combination of B, C, Te, Tc, RH, or LH. I would preferably like to search with capitalization being a factor but it is not a deal breaker. Below is a sample of what i have if the cell has a B, C it works for B but ignores the C i need it t o recognize both.
Code:
If InStr(1, ActiveCell.Text, "B") Then Range("O" + CStr(ActiveCell.Row)).Select
With Selection.Interior
.Pattern = xlSolid
.PatternColorIndex = xlAutomatic
.color = 65535
.TintAndShade = 0
.PatternTintAndShade = 0
