Search A Column Of Dates & Return Data From Another Column
I am trying to get a formula that will search one column range “B” and pull data from another, “D”. Dates are down column “B” and some of those dates are repeated several times. In column “D” there is only one piece of data (a number) entered for each day. Eg, if 08/06/2009 has been entered 3 times in column “A”, there will only be data entered in 1 of the cells of column “D” and blank cells in the other 2. Column B -- Column D 07/06/09 -- 54000 08/06/09 08/06/09 -- 62000 08/06/09 09/06/09 -- 61000 I couldn’t get the LOOKUP function to work properly, as there are duplicate dates in column “B” and I often got a result of 0 returned. As I’ve only got 1 piece of data added in column “D” per day and any duplicate days would just have blank cells in “D”, I can actually get a SUMIF function to work, SUMIF(B3:B60,DATE(2009,6,8),D3:D60). Although it does work, it doesn’t feel right using it and I would prefer a formula that would return just the one cell, instead of the sum of a range of cells.

Search For Text Within A String, Lookup And Then Return Item
I have a spreadsheet! I have two sheets, one of which contains film names and the other contains our tag structure for our website (which is a list of tags, their keywords and the primary parent channel they live under). What I am trying to do is search the film titles and if any of the words match either the tag name or keywords then return the relevant channel. Example: Sheet 1 - Films How To Apply Bridal Makeup How To Fight A Donkey How To Write Excel Formulae Sheet 2 - Tags Channel / Tag / Keywords Tech - Microsoft - windows vista xp word excel Tech - Computers - internet pc Tech - MP3 Players - iPod Zune So, for film 3 on Sheet 1 it would recognise the word Excel in the keyword list and return the channel Tech.

Vlookup: Search For Value In SECOND Column Of Table Array And Return Value From FIRST
I'm looking for a formula to search for a value in the SECOND (instead of first) column of a table array and return a value in the same row from FIRST (instead of the same or another) column in the table array. Formula would be searching for the unique production order number in the column B and return production line id from the column A. A1 production line_id B1 poduction_order_number A2 L1 A3 L2 A4 L1 B2 505212 B3 504234 B4 505663 I was trying vlookup(504234;B2:A4;2;0) to make formula go search from right columns to the left but then excel is switching the search table to A2:B4 and gives #N/D! One remark-there is no possibility to switch these 2 columns to simplify. I have to leave them as they are.

Search Partial String, Return Value In Next Column, Vba
I would like to search cells in column D for the partial string, "PIPE," (A full string may look like this: 'PIPE, 24"ODx0.375"WT API-5LX-65,ERW OR SMLS'). Then, if it's there, return the value "LF" in the corresponding cell in column C. If that string isn't found, then I'd like it to return "EA". I know this seems pretty easy, but there's a small problem. The word "BENT PIPE," could be in Column D, in which case, I would want it to return "EA" instead of "LF".

Text Search Returns Cell Text Contents Of Different Column In The Same Row
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"

Search For Text In A Specific Column
I need to find a word in a column, ie. "JAN" in col D (only first found is enough, not all instances) and then display message that "January has been updated", if not found, display message "this month has not been updated". The word "Jan" will be stored in a cell, so I need the code that could pick up the contents of that cell and lookup the col D (in another sheet, ie. "MthMaster") for that word.

Search And Replace Text In A Column
I want to replace all blank cells in column A with the word "BLANK" but my problem is that I need to tell Excel to stop searching for blank cells in column A once and only once column A is equal to the last data row in the column named "Product Number". I tried this macro but, naturally, it replaces all the empty cells in the WHOLE COLUMN. I will always have a header column in row 1. The data is below that (data will always start at row 2). Columns("A:A").Select Selection.Replace What:="", Replacement:="BLANK", LookAt:=xlPart, _ SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False, _ ReplaceFormat:=False How can I change this so that the find/replace macro searches all the way down equal to the last data row in the "Product Number" column? Below are 2 examples. Example 1 is pre macro and example 2 is post macro. ...............................

Search For The Text And Move Everything Under That Column
I have some macros that will look for a certain item and then move it somewhere else on the spreadsheet. However, I can't seem to get the code right to skip over the section if the text is not found. I assume it would be easiest to do it with error handling, but the attempts I've made haven't worked. the macro will search for the text "Name" and move everything under that column elsewhere; then it will do the same for "Date." But currently, if "Name" is not found anywhere on the spreadheet, it will cause an error and ask to end or debug.

Search Cell Value In A Column From Text File
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.

Multi-column Text Search Box Filter
I am trying to create a search filter that checks a cell for text or part of text in 3 columns and then filters out the rows that have a match. So there would be a cell at the top of the page with a line around it and the word type your search criteria here. The used types in a word and excel then looks into 3 columns below that have various data. If there is match then a filter action would kick in and only show the rows where there was a match regardless of the column.

Macro To Search Text & Return Values
I have a spreadsheet containing several names. I want a formula or macro that will search a string of text within the cell. If the text exists within the cell, I need a code to populate. For example, In cell E2, search for a phrase anywhere in the cell that contains "COM". In cell H2 look for the exact phrase "ASB". When "COM" is found in E2 and "ASB" is found in H2, in cell U2 return the value "COM ASBTVL". In my case, E2 may not contain "COM", it may contain "DEN" instead. In that case, if E2 contains "COM", and if "H2" contains "SVC", then in U2 populate "COM APPSVC" I'm guessing in my code I will need to list a set of criteria that will search row by row and return certain values when finding the text I specify. Would a macro be best for this? Does anyone know how I would put that together?

Excel Text Search Through Different Types Of Text And Action Based On Text
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.

Search And Return A Value
In the attached file, I am trying to lookup what vendor is assigned to a part, and enter the vendor number in column J, K or L, depending on the number that is assigned. For example, the top part number, RAD001, has a 2 in column N, indicating vendor # 015354 is the Alternate vendor # 1. It has a 1 in column V, indicating 034180 is the Primary Vendor, and it has a 3 in column Z, to indicate that 015229 is the Alternate Vendor # 2. What formula would I need to put in cell J2 so that if a 1 is found in row 2 it will return the value 1 position left of where the 1 is found? I will then put a similar formula in columns K and L to return the vendor number if a 2 or a 3 is found. The end result will be that for each part number you will be able to see what vendor is primary, alternat 1 and alternate 2. I want to make this a formula because the actual sheet will be thousands of part numbers long, and I will need it to update the vendor information if the primary vendor is changed.

Search Value And Return An Associated Category Name
I'm attaching a spreadsheet in order for you to understand my question, and I will explain it based on that, ok? I apologize in advance for english mistakes, since it's not my 1st language. I want to search the salary value in column B and, in Column C, I need the job title to be posted based on what is written in Column J. The table h2:i8 contains the maximum salary a person on that position can earn. So when you look the salary on column B, it should seach in column H and compare to the maximum value, and return the description on Column I that corresponds to that salary range. So if somebody earns 6500, it should be qualified as a supervisor, because its salary maximum is 7100. I have searched the forum here and found similar problems, with suggestions to use vlooup and Index. But I just can not figure it out.

Search Word For Text And Send Values Next To Text To Excel File
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.

Now this is the only way I'm prepared to look at doing, and I have managed to do it...... partially - as stupid as it sounds, I cant get multiple results to list in the ListBox itself, and for the life in me I cant find out how to do it. Also, once the options have been brought back into the ListBox, I then need code which will then populate further locked TextBox's which the rest of the company info, when selected from the ListBox. I know its asking alot (or maybe not) but I believe, (unless ive done it a really awkward way, I'm not too far away, I just dont know the code to enter, to be able to do it. Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() Dim Nullstring Application.ScreenUpdating = False If TextBox1.Value = "" Or Nullstring Then MsgBox "Please enter a date to search for" GoTo error1: End If.....................................

I guess the old plug-in that converted Excel->HTML isn't available? Column A is a finished product and B-D are the ingredients to make it however values in Column A are also ingredients (sometimes multiple times). I want a formula that searches for values in Column A within the table B1:D5 and returns an array, if possible, of the finished products where Column A was used. For example, searching for Sugar would return "Flour, Water". Searching for Water would return "Milk, Eggs" (I'd rather not have Milk listed twice but beggars can't be choosers).

For example, I would want to search for any row containing 01/01/07 - 01/07/07 or any row containing 01/01/07, 01/02/07, 01/03/07...01/07/07.

Search And Return Values In A Range Group

Example: A5 is numbered 1 and A6 is 2 A7 is 3 and so on to 25 then skip a row and start numbering again to 25. What this is for is employees are placed in groups of 25 to be eligible for an award for safety. What I want to do is Range G5:G650 is to be a place where an "X" is placed beside an employee who has had an accident then Range H5:H650 would return "Employee had an accident" I already have this part working. Then I want to code a subroutine that would search for the "X's" and return the entire row data for each name in that group of 25 on a seperate worksheet. This would then be printed so we would know which group's to exclude. I know how to make it return the row of data containing the "X" but how can I make it grab the entire group? There will be multiple groups of 25 each and each time an "X" is found within a group create a new worksheet for that group. 650 employees / 25 = 26 groups

Goal: On sheet1 I have one column with products, then the column next to it will have an "Y" in it if the product is to be selected (blank if not). On sheet2 I want to create a list of the products that were selected (having the "Y"). The only thing stumping me is that I do not want spaces between the product list on sheet2...just a nice continuous list.
