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 RepliesI 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.
I need a macro that can search a sheet for a match and then copy all 7 cells to the right of the match. I have attached an example of the sheet that will serve as the database to search, and a userform example that will be similar to the userfrom that will display the copied cells when a match is found. I plan to copy and paste the 7 cells to a different sheet so that the userform can display the results with the control source property. I do not need a way to add to this database. I know very little about searching a database so.

View 11 Replies View RelatedI have 3 worksheets A, B and C. Worksheet A and B have numbers in three columns. In worksheet C, column D, I would like a formula or conditional formatting which will search worksheet A for the number in column D and if it finds the same number as the one in the cell, it highlights the cell Green. I would also like it to search worksheet B and if the number is in worksheet B, highlight the cell Red. In no cases will the number be in both worksheets (A and B).
View 9 Replies View RelatedI've got a large Excel table that's full of names and e-mail addresses - it's a report of e-mails that merges some data from two systems we use; a registration form and a database. We want to clean up the data so it only lists folks who 'registered' (it's not always BOTH people listed - sometimes it's only one!) - and the best way to do that is to take the information from a specific column in each row, see if it exists elsewhere in the row and clear the information that doesn't match.
For example:
-A----------------B------------------C--------------------D--------------E------------------F-------------------G-
John ---------- Smith -------- js@email.com -------- Jane -------- Smith --------- js@email.com ------ John
Richard ------ McGee ---------j@email.com-----------Jim----------Samename ----jsn@email.com-------Rich
Mary-----------Ladyface ------ms@email.com--------Steve -------Smith ----------ss@email.com-------Steve
Ideally, for each row I'd like to search A and D for the string from column G. If it finds it, the cell and the two cells to the right are fine - but everything else is 'cleared' (not deleted).
So the above table would look like:
-A----------------B------------------C--------------------D--------------E------------------F-------------------G-
John ---------- Smith -------- js@email.com --------------------------------------------------------------- John
Richard ------ McGee ---------j@email.com-----------------------------------------------------------------Rich
-------------------------- -------------------------------Steve -------Smith ----------ss@email.com-------Steve
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'm trying to create a leave calendar for staff. I would like to paste in the staff members sick and annual leave dates.
I would then like a conditional format that would highlight the leave dates onto the calendar, so i can visually track attendance and check for any sick leave patterns. My calendar looks like below for each month, and although it shows just the date in excel, i have formatted it so its actually the full date (ie instead of 1 it is 1/7/2013, but just displaying 1)

Whilst i can easily track and input the public holidays (on an individual basis) i'm looking to highlight the whole calendar area, say cells (c5:i10) as the search area and then have the leave data as a whole search area (at2:at150)
Above is part A of my question. To further complicate it, if it can even be done. The leave data i get from my system only has the start date of the leave, in another column it has the end date, and in another column it has days absent, if we can do it so it adds the days after (total leave days) to highlight in the calendar that would be amazing, if not, i'll just amend the data to have every date of the leave listed
Leave Type Start Date End Date Days Taken
is there any way that i can match the date in a data and apply a color if match?
sample: column a2: 11/5/09 $15.00
column b2: 11/5/09 house $15.00 -> then the column B2 must be filled with color because they have the same date with the column a2.
I am able to to use the Vlookup to look up for value in the "Sheet sept". All value can be updated expect the item called "mug" as it is not listed in the "Sheet all". How do I highlight the missing item in the "Sheet all"? Attached herewith a file for better understanding.

In an Excel 2010 worksheet I use three columns. I need a user to be able to input a word or phrase into a cell or input box, and have Excel highlight that word or phrase every place it occurs only in column C.
Can I do that with conditional formatting? Or do I need to use a function? Or do I need a macro?
I have a worksheet with multiple sheets.
Users and Data
In users column A has email contacts from people that accessed a recoding on line. I need to be able to cross reference with another sheet called data where I will have their full name.
Basically I would like a macro that will check column A in users sheet and check in data the name column . If it finds last name or partial name in the mail it will highlight it in the users sheet and in the name column in data
User sheet
Column A is raw 1 is heading username
data sheet
column B is raw 1 Last Name
That way I am able to quickly identify a group of people if they did not watch the recording as user gives me indication on what they did.
When I do a SEARCH operation to find the number 10 among hundreds of cells containing data, I'm often finding the way Excel highlights the cell that meets the search result is not easy enough to see.
Is there anyway I could setup Excel so that the resulting cell that meets the search result is highlighted in a RED border or RED Fill? I would like the cell that meets the search result to scream at me with a color highlight that is not easy to miss.
I have a row D2:ND2 where each cell contains a date from October 1st through to September 20th). I also have a column NI3:NI13 that contains various dates such as Easter or bank holidays. Would it be possible to use conditional formatting (or something else) to highlight all rows below D2:ND2 if the dates specified in each cell in D2:ND2 match any of the dates in column NI3:NI13?

I have two cells with values that are strings.
I would like to know of a macro that can compare each two cells(start from E2 and compare with E3)to see if the values are NOT equal.
If they are equal, do nothing and if they are NOT, highlight the value.
Example:
compare E2&E3, E4,E5,E6,E7,.... if for example E2&E3, E4,E5,E6,E7,.... each hat same string, do nothing, but if they were not the same highlight it with red.
This code checks two cells and highlights one cell when there is duplicate, I like the opposite one, but don't know what to change!
Code:
Sub CompareCells() Dim r As Range, cell As Range Range
("E2", Range("E" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)).Name = ("MyRange") Range("MyRange").Select
' clear all colors from selection Selection.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
' loop through cells and compare Set r = Selection Set r = Selection.Resize(r.Rows.Count + 1)
For Each cell In r If cell.Offset(1, 0).Value cell.Value Then
cell.Offset(1, 0).Interior.ColorIndex = 3 End If Next End Sub

The Problem: There is data in a step chart from left to right. On a separate step chart, Conditional formatting is set to lookup values from the first step chart and highlight non empty cells in the row. The formatting should only format the first non empty cell from left to right in the row. After formatting the first non zero value in the time line the formatting should cease. Note: the conditional formatting value and the value of the cell being formatted are not the same in either value or time but are related. The formatting is to illustrate the relation
Current Formatting formula:
=VLOOKUP($B395,$B$5:$DB$211,K$242,0)

I'm finding it hard to explain what I am trying to do (which may be why I can't find a solution through Google), so I have an example. I am using a much larger spreadsheet than this sample(18,000 rows)

Last_Name

I want to highlight rows if there are multiple instances of ID and # values - I included a column at the end showing which rows in this data set would be highlighted.
I've been asked to assist with modifications of an excel spreadsheet. One of the features is a column that has a formula of what the total order should be. For example, 1 base order of 25.00, plus 1 bonus order of 18.00, plus 2 bonus orders of 15.00 would be $73.00 due. Then data entry persons enter the actual amount collected. Is there a way to highlight either the cell or the result if the amount collected does not equal the amount due? I know I can accomplish this with another column, but they want to keep the columns to a minimum.
This is for a non-profit agency and the orders are now at 1000 that must be entered within a day or two period, so they want to keep the fields to a minimum so as to make the entry easier for those doing the input. And they would like the data entry person to see an immediate flag if what he or she enters as collected does not equal what is due.
In a column in which there are repeating numbers is there a formula I can enter into conditional formatting that will highlight a cell when the number doesn't match the value from the value above it?
So in this example the values with an * would be highlighted.
1*
1
1
2*
2
2
2
3*
4*
4
5*

Please see the attached example. I'm trying to highlight cells only if 2 values in the row match 2 values in another row. If a book title/author combination matches that of another title/author combination in a different row, it would highlight. Some alternate rows will contain different titles by the same author, and some rows will have like titles by different authors...but they should not highlight.
The only situation where highlighting would occur is if the title/author pairing appears in another row.
I'm trying to decide if this would be a conditional formatting/highlighting rule, or if it would be a macro/vbs?
I'm using Excel 2013.

I have group of data that includes a list of names. What I'm trying to do is create a conditional format to highlight the row if the name is different from the name above it.
I couldn't figure out how to "highlight" my text or the rows, so I changed text-color. But what I'm looking for is a way to have the rows change color based on the names in the list.
I know how to get every-other-row to highlight, but I have names that repeat, and it's not consistent.
