Search Result List (grep-like Functionality)

Aug 31, 2006

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).

Search Functionality Within Userform

Mar 27, 2014

I have a standard multi-page excel workbook in Excel 2013. I have built a user form that will allow for user input into my main excel page. This inpu includes many different variables, including one called "Paint". The value of paint can currently be selected from a drop down box that pulls its values from a spreadsheet in the workbook (Paint!A$1,A$50) but here's the issue. I have over 50 possible values for paint and it makes the drop box time searching for the right one kinda hard.

Here's what I want to do: Have a button beside the paint drop-down that says "Search", When the users clicks it it opens a search dialogue of some kind that will return the closest values to their search. When they click the value they want it gets entered as the selected value for the "Paint" drop-down box.

Here's my questions:
-Is this even possible ?I know enough about VBA to know that this is probably difficult in which case id still like to try.
-If it is possible. Are there perhaps any places you could point me to that would have some sort of starting point for me to work from. Remember I got the other part already I just need the search functionality.

Dropdown List Displaying Multiple Results - No Functionality If Worksheet Is Protected

Nov 28, 2013

I wanted to create a multiple drop down lists (using data validation) in column B (50 in all, every 3rd line) whereby, multiple, comma deliminated, results would display in each of the cells - for use elsewhere in the spreadsheet.

I found some code (as follows) which worked perfectly for me

VB:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim rngDV As Range
Dim oldVal As String

[Code].....

As I mentioned above, I don't really understand the code and all I know is that the line about halfway down "If Target.Column = 2 Then" is defining which column (B) this will work in.

The problem I am having is that I need to protect the worksheet and the moment I "protect" the worksheet, the functionality of displaying multiple values goes away and the drop-down list reverts to only displaying one of the available values.

Link Search Box With VLookup To Provide Search Result

Jul 15, 2012

What i have so far is:
-3 Sheets (Sheet1 - Search, Sheet2 - Data, Sheet3 - Result)
-Sheet1 has a userform ready to link up - this opens up when workbook and worksheet is activated.
-Sheet2 has some example data to search - the search is for column 1 (see attachment)
-Sheet3 has a template ready for the data to be pasted to.

I would like the search result is column 1 to copy the data from columns 1 to 7 to sheet3.

I want the template/layout to remain after the pasting of results. (everything protected from editing, if possible).

Once finished (ie go back to sheet1, i want the data from sheet3 to be cleared.)

Copy Rows From Search Result

Apr 14, 2008

i have been using a code that "Joe Was" wrote on this forum the code search all cells for a word i type and then copy the rows where the word was found into a new sheet. my problem is that the code overwrites the rows, so only one line is shown even when the result box say it finds 10 results.

Public Sub FindText()
Dim ws As Worksheet, Found As Range
Dim myText As String, FirstAddress As String
Dim AddressStr As String, foundNum As Integer
myText = InputBox("Enter text to find")
If myText = "" Then Exit Sub
Worksheets("Søkeside").Cells.ClearContents
For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets......

Do
foundNum = foundNum + 1
AddressStr = AddressStr & .Name & " " & Found.Address & vbCrLf
Set Found = .UsedRange.FindNext(Found)

Found.EntireRow.Copy _
Destination:=Worksheets("Søkeside").Range("A2").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0)
Sheets("Søkeside").......


If Len(AddressStr) Then
MsgBox "Found: """ & myText & """ " & foundNum & " times." & vbCr & _
AddressStr, vbOKOnly, myText & " found in these cells"
Else:
MsgBox "Unable to find " & myText & " in this workbook.", vbExclamation
End If
End Sub

Move Cursor To Search Result

Mar 4, 2009

I am trying to position the cursor in a spreadsheet column based on the data within the column but am struggling with the software to do it.

What I have is:
(a) A column (A:A) containing a mix of up to 500 numbers (1 to 3 digit) and a few text entries (1 to 6 char). These form the basis of a movement log where say 100 different drivers (each with unique identity) are logged in and out, so there will be duplicates.
(b) A number of other columns logging task/times etc but the one I am interested in (B:B), contains a tick (martlet font "a") to denote the driver has departed.

What I want to do when a driver departs, is have a quick way of finding (from the top down) the row containing the drivers number (A:A) where the driver logged in, but has not yet departed (so I can tick him out!).

So from the top: find the first row (in A:A) matching a specific number/string, where B:B is also blank and position the cursor at B"x").

I have imagined a "button" with data entry at the top of the sheet being the easiest physical way of doing it but am open to offers.

Can the Cursor (or cell?) be highlighted as well, because this is not always easy to see in bright light.

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.

More Than 1 Cell As Search Range: Result Is Wrong

Apr 6, 2009

i've been using an IF function in order to display a certain value when one or more criteria are met in one cell in one specific worksheet. here's how it looks like:

=IF(OR(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("value1",Worksheet1!A1)),ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Value2",Worksheet1!A1))),"yes","no" )

with different values and names.. but it's just to give you the idea of what kind of function it is. this one works perfectly, but i also needed another one in which the logical test range is no longer only one cell, but more, thus a selection. i wrote the same formula, but instead of the "A1" i wrote for example "A1:A20" which i thought it would work.. but it doesn't. even more surprising, when i open the insert function (the helping wizard that pops up when i click the "fx" button on the left of the function string) and i put in the logical test, at the bottom of the window it says the correct result (ie: yes). but on the actual worksheet, the cell displays the wrong result (no). i know there are no errors in the formula, so i really don't know how to solve the problem.

Find Column Character Search Result

Jun 9, 2009

I'd like to search for text and get the column character where the cell with the found text. The combination the two 'demands'/formulae into one are giving me problems. And the fact that the column character can exist out of two characters I cannot solve.

I can get the column number with HLookup right? and it gives me the column number, not the character. I can solve this partially (and ugly even more) with =Char(((Hlookup etc)+64 (letter before A))).

Enter Text To Already Populated Search Result

Jul 26, 2006

I have a userform that with a combobox called "complaintdis". This combobox displayes all the records in column A of worksheet "ComplaintData". When user selects any record from that dropdown list, it populates the other related fields on labels on the same userform. This part is working fine.

when user is looking at any displayed record on the userform (displayed via labels), I want user to be able to add comment that will get added to the column J of worksheet "ComplaintData".

I can workout a way to send this input data from textbox (called "txtcloser") to the column J, but I am struggling to figure out a way to link that comment to the specific record.

As there are number of entries in the worksheet "ComplaintData" , user should be able to select any record (via combobox) in no specific order and leave a comment.

Replacing Contents Of A Cell With Another Based On Search Result?

Feb 24, 2014

My current problem is that I need to search two tabs of data and use the results to modify the contents of one cell in the first tab.

I'll try to be as clear as possible:

tab1 has relevant cells "a" and "b", same row

tab2 has 3 relevant cells "c", "d", and "e", all on the same row

All cells are text values - some digits, but should be treated as a regular String.

The search needs to look at cells "a" and "b", find their match in "c" and "d", then replace the original value of "b" with the value in "e" after a match has been found.

Changing Search Result Cell Highlight Color?

May 10, 2013

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.

Search Multiple Sheets Within Report And Then Find Average Of Result?

Jun 6, 2014

Average.xlsxHi

I have changed the attachment to use CSV's

I am trying to create a report that I can enter the codes I am looking for and the formula will search the sheets within the report and once the results are found then find the average of those results.

What I am trying to do is search the codes from Sheet 1 under Outlet and ESA(in Blue) in sheet A,B and C. The problem is the ESA code seen in column I of A,B,C is only used when column L is empty in A,B,C.

Once the relevant codes are found I then need to look for the KPI's seen in sheet 1 B4, B6 and B8, they can be found in A,B,C in column R. then the result comes from column S in A,B or C.

Once the result is found for each code I want to find the average of them, with the answer to populate in yellow in sheet 1

I want the formula to be able to handle more or less codes as well as adjust the formula so I can add more sheets(possible D,E,F,G etc)

How To Return The Last Result In A List

Aug 5, 2008

I have this formula in C7:

=VLOOKUP(A7,A$20:C$76,3)

The Table Array contains a list of 12 months, and there will be a match to the Lookup Value in A7 each month. I would like C7 to reflect the last completed match in the list (it will be updated each month). So, when June is the last completed month, C7 will return the matching amount from the Table Array for June; then when July is completed, I would like C7 to reflect the matching amount for July.

How To Use SQL Decode Functionality

Jun 11, 2013

I need to use SQL decode functionality in Excel. I tried but Excel won't accept decode. Is there a way to get the same effect in Excel?

Example: quite often, people use letters to represent numbers, like 1234D = 123.44, 5432G=543.27 in text files. To converter from letters to numbers, I can use decode (substr(A1,5,1), 'A', 1, 'B',2,'C',3,......,'{', 0, null).

Not sure how Excel handles this?
