I currantly have in a cell this:
=IF(Search1="","No Place Found",INDEX(Locations,MATCH("*"&Search1&"*",Locations,0)))
Which searches a large column called Location. The above statment searches for a word that matches the Search1 cell...
What I would like to add, is the ability for it to list, in a drop down box all the contents of the cell that the word is matched to, i have tried, but feel that this is out of my own and books expertice!!
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.
I have a chart of accounts that is probably 30,000 accounts long. I have another list with say 500 accounts. I need to check to see if the 500 accounts exist anywhere in the 30,000 accounts. The next step is, the 30,000 accounts is separated into different categories, so say it's 30 blocks of 1000 accounts. I need to check the 500 list in each of the blocks. I'm just trying to see which accounts are missing from the 30000. So if they exists in each block then all is good, if they don't, we have problems.

The exact case is if 0 or "NA" exist in a list in range A1:A20, then I need to print message box with message that "Either of the two numbers exist". Not really sure how to write a small code in visual basic to do this.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI created a drop down list with the names of 700 of our clients. Now what I want to do is, just as with Access, type a letter and it will bring me to that part of the drop down list instead of having to scroll all the way to S, for example. Is there a simple way to do this WITHOUT VBA?
I am using XL '07
On a related note, I am using VLOOKUP to print the Client ID right below this list. For some reason, I can't figure out it is not printing the correct client id but the one right above it.
here is my formula
=VLOOKUP(B6,H:I,2)
B6=drop down box
h=client names
i=client id's
2=print client id's
I'm looking to make a macro to search within a list of dates (In column A).
I need it to find the end of the year if it's 2007, 2006 and 2005, insert a column underneath and sum up column C, but only for that year. So for example, all the amounts in column C for only the year 2007 will be summed up in a blank row on column D before the 1st January 2008, and the same for previous years.
Then what needs to be done is for the year 2008, the same thing applies, but for each Month.
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.
Within conditional formatting I use =COUNTIF(Task,I4)=0 and it highlights the non-matches. Task is a named range which works fine, but how could I actually just use a string instead of the named range? The named range only consists of Major and Sub. My first guess would be =COUNTIF({"Major";"Sub"},I4)=0 but this is not working.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a list of entries of which some are distinct and others are similar. For example, I have 1) JohnSmith 2) JhonSmith 3)SomeoneElse. The first and second entry are similar but not equal due to a spelling mistake, the third entry is not related to the first. My question is: How can I obtain which entries belong together? The output would have to show that 1&2 are similar and that 3 is different.

If it does than I want it to report the zip that was matched and cell in C2. If there is no match then I want it to return the value, No Match in C2. I need the whole column B to be included in this code.

I am looking for a way to check for the presence of a member of a list in a field. Not for an exact match, but for the text to be somewhere present. I know I can use the "search" function to find text within text, but I don't see how to find the presence of any member of a range of values (a list) within the text.
Need to do (preferrably as a UDF so I can call it many times and build the macro I really need) the following string testing macro. For a given column (B) - look to the field immediately to the left for a text string. This string will be searched for a list of other strings contained in Column D ( cells D1:D5). We want a case insenstive SEARCH (or find I suppose in macro terms) to return a true if the strings are found or false if it is not. Example test string in cell B1 would be:
I am a string of test data to check.
Terms in D1:D5 might be:
dog
cat
bird
data
fowl
Cell B1 should return a TRUE as a match.
I 've created a userform to search an excel database (that is populated by another userform) that contains a date field. This field is formatted as mmm/yyyy so I can search it by month.
All was well until out of nothing my sub can't find specific months.
It finds the related data for january, march, june, july and november, but not any of the other months.
In order to try and debug it I've used the exact same data in the other fields of the db changing only the date field to the desired month.
If I use excel's own Find, everything works as it should, the months are found just fine.
I'm afraid I've run into some trouble with the Listbox function, which I really love, but I can't quite get past this hurdle.
I want to have a listbox which populates by checking an entire column for values, ignoring blank cells, and, if value is present, to also check to see if any value is present in the cell one column to the right and one row down from the cell that has the initial value. If both these conditions are true, to then display both values in the Listbox. In other words, the Listbox would contain two columns.
During this routine, when checking value is present in the second cell, I'm guessing that an IF statement would increment a variable signifying the cell reference by + 1 for column and + 1 for the one row down?
The idea is to have our technicians complete a timesheet showing how their time is being allocated between various tasks. I have created the spreadsheet and each row has a drop-down list with 6 options (Project Management, Audit, Office, etc) then a start and finish time which is calculated. I want to automate it so each each task option (Project Management, Audit, etc.) is calculated. There will be multiple entries for each task option over a weekly period. I tried VLOOKUP, but it does not work well with the text entries. I have attached a copy of the spreadsheet to better illustrate what I am trying to explain.

It's a budget problem: Sheet 1 has my downloaded Visa statements. I want to categorise all items.
Eg Any item containing the string 'safeway' is categorised as 'General expenses'. So the list on Sheet 2 has an item called 'safeway' and in the next column 'General expenses'.
And for the item on Sheet 1 'BPAYN BUPA AUSTRALIA BPAY MBF monthly' I have an item in Sheet 2 that is simply 'BUPA' with category 'Medical expenses'.
how to create a simple form that would search a sheet for a word and display the list of resulting rows - something similar to Adobe Reader 7 Search functionality ?
If I was having administrator privileges on this PC, I would simply install Cygnus and use its "grep" command on a CSV file but without that possibility, it's rather cumbersome to search an Excel sheet when you need to do it repetitively, and I need to locate a specific row each time without knowing the exact content of the cell (only searching for one or another word I know the cell contains).
Is there a function or macro that can take a list of about 200 numbers and search for these numbers throughout the workbook, If 1 of these numbers exists anywhere in the workbook, it changes the color of the number or does something to the number where I will know this number is part of the exception list? The list of 200 numbers in non changing, however the numbers I want searched will change daily. There will also be worksheets added and taken away that contains these numbers.

I have document1, which is a main list of surnames names, which then show 'hours', 'employment number', and 'post', in the following columns.
In document2, I have a sheet with a selection of these names, and blank cells for the named columns above.
What i need to do is have excel search and match the name from document2, to the name in document 1, and fill in the above columns with the correct data.
is that some of the surnames will show up more than once in my main list - so if possible i would like excel to then search the first name (which is in the preceding column) and match both the first and second names to the main list - OR - to simply return an error so that i can spot, and input the data manually.
