Search Within Range And Quick Jump To Column
May 17, 2013
I'm currently working with a largish file of about 300 columns and 40K+ rows. So two questions:
1. To populate the cells, I have to find a match in column A first.
Is there a way to define all of its entries as a range and make Excel's Find dialog box look for matches only within this range?
Because right now I have to either constantly select column A before doing the search or move the cursor manually to the top cell before every search to prevent Excel from looking elsewhere... This is turning into a real drag.
2. After I've found a match in column A, I need to find the right column. All of them have a unique entry in the second row (B2, C2, etc.). The huge problem is there's a c..p load of these columns and identifiers aren't arranged according to any recognizable pattern. So, every time I have to do another search on row 2 to find the column I need. All of this is mind-numbingly, excruciatingly slow...
Is there a way to make Excel jump to a specific column based on a value in a specific cell (in this case, B2-....MO2). Like maybe creating a form with buttons or checkboxes, so that whenever the right box is checked the focus would move to that column and to the row where the Find dialog just found a match in column A. Only I've never had anything to do with programming, so wouldn't even know where to start with this...

I have an Excel file that has over 50 different worksheets to track earnings from different sources in multiple categories. Each individual source has its own worksheet and I've grouped sources in the same category together and color coded the worksheet tabs so that all sheets in the same category have the same color.
The color coding visually see where one category begins and ends using the scroll bar, but is there a way to mark the first worksheet of each category and jump (or tab) to it instantly as opposed to scrolling?
For example, in the attached file, I am looking to quick jump to the following worksheets: AA, FF, GG, C, G, K, and U. Is that possible to do through any sort of bookmarking or is that a feature that doesn't exist in Excel?

In Column A I have product names. Each product name in column A is followed by several rows of data related to that product directly below it. The number of rows following any given product varies and is also dynamic as rows of data are added to other products above it.
I want a simple downdown menu in A1 that is populated with every product listed in Column A. When a product is selected, that area of the worksheet showing that product is shown.

I need a macro that can jump to the nearest current date in column B from anywhere on the current tab. all the dates are in 10/09/2009 format, and the actual date of today might not be in that column. This can be + or -1 one day search from today. After this macro run's the nearest current date will be the active selected cell in column B.

I'd like to create a macro that searches a column within a changing, variable range.
For example, I have a roster with a list of teams. Each team is separated by a blank row. In each team, there are a varying number of team members, and one team leader. Column I has the position code, which designates whether the person is the team leader (SL), or just a team member (RD).
What I'd like to do, is search each team for the team leader, then check another column (Col A) just within that team for another value, and if that value is present return the last name of the team leader as well as the name of the member with the value in Col A.
The problem is, I'm not sure how to search a varying range in Col I. Teams can vary in size from 3-11 members (including leader), and the number of teams varies each day. I don't have the option of changing the format or layout of the roster - it's automatically generated by some other program and given to me in a CSV list.
For example, from this sample data of two teams
Testing Program : DKSFS
Scoring Center : Concord
Rater Schedule Date : 07/29/2013
[Code]....
how to define that range in Col I which changes with each new team. My approach is to find a way to search a range (essentially the values between blank cells ) in Col I for the value "SL", then search that same range in Col A for the value "VM". If there's a value of VM within that range (team), then copy Cols A-E, write them to a list, and insert that person's team leader last name at the right.
how to define a dynamic range in Col I? I already have a working macro written which generates that last time, sans team leader name, just trying to figure out how to search that changing range in Col I for each team to find team leader name.
Note, not all teams will have a member flagged with that VM marker in Col A.

I WANT it to search all of column A for the highest number in the range (which will change daily to a new high number above the highest currently), and return the value in column 4 (column D) that corresponds to that value from column A. This is what I have, but it is not working, it is giving me the number (1) in Cell A800 (which is the lowest valued number in my range. The numbers range in value from 1 to 762 with none repeating (they are sequential). The formula I have is :
=+VLOOKUP(MAX(A76:A2000),A76:I2000,4)

I'm currently trying to insert the copy range of one worksheet to another. Let's say I have 3 worksheets, one main and two additional info sheet. I want to search column C in main worksheet for blank cell and use column F in the same row as the worksheet name which I want to copy from, then use column E from main worksheet as the keyword for the range I want to copy(range from column E to column Z). But when inserting, I want the keyword in main worksheet such as 'G' in the same row as blank cell to match the 'G' in copied worksheet. Because the 'G' in main worksheet is not in the same column for each row, I try to search the forum but can't find the inserting part. I also attach the example workbook.

Basically I have three sheets. MAIN, Sheet 1 and Sheet 2
Sheet 1 and 2 are in the same format
A3 down is a list of country names and then B3:I71 contains the data im interested in.
I've been trying to create a function that looks at B3:i71 to see if any cell in that range contains a value greater then $0.00. If it does then the row that contains the cell with a value greater then $0.00 (between col A to K) should be copied to sheet MAIN from cells B3 down. This should ultimatley produce a list of data for any row containing a value greater then $0.00. This process should then be repeated on Sheet 2 and should join the list below sheet 1.

I need to be able to query a large date range by a small beginning and end date range and return a count when the value is = each search criteria. i.e. - Search one year of dates from a table by Beg: 7/23/2012 to End: 10/21/2012 and return a count. The beginning and end dates are dynamic and I will need to reference the cells, i.e. B102 "Beg" B102 "End" and not a static date.

The goal of this code is to check between two sheets, if it finds a match between both sheets (somewhere in column A) then it should copy E,F,G columns from Sheet2 to Sheet1..
The Sub Test()

I've been having a play with sorting integers in A1:I1 (because that was the example in Wikipedia). I've got some code that kind of works, but the recursion is entirely manual.
(I know it's only a mickey mouse example, and no practical use!)
Sub quicksort()
Dim iPivotIndex As Integer, iPivotValue As Integer, iTempValue As Integer, iStoreIndex As Integer, i As Integer
Dim iStartNumber As Integer, iEndNumber As Integer
'how do I give it the original iStartNumber and iEndNumber
iStartNumber = InputBox("Start")
iEndNumber = InputBox("end")........................................

Auto-Numbering
just an example:-
56
57
58
59
60
The Column above is the first column on a selected sheet.
i will select 56 and from there (End-Shift+Down arrow) which selects all the values from 56-60...
My question is from here on if there is a shortcut key or 'vba macro' that can autonumber from 1.
Thus giving output result of..
1
2
3
4
5
i want to record the solution for above problem in a macro recorder for different numbers that is why i have to do (End-Shift+Down arrow)

I am doing a "Lost and found" spreadsheet project for a hotel.
Each row contains the lost items with all the necessary info in separate cells (Room nr, found by, reference nr, client name, etc)
Every item is being bagged and then a label is put on it. ( has the same information but its just arranged prperly. (Like a label )
What I would like to do is to have a column in each row that has a "print" button. What would happen is that the macro would create a label in sheet2, print it on the default printer and then erase everything on sheet2. (I am kind of new to macros so I dont even know if I need to use the sheet 2 for it).
I have already done a kind of a template for the label and set it up on sheet2. I would probably manage to get the print function working with the online tutorials(if not i'll be back) but can't figure out how to do the first bit of it.

I have two spreadsheets, each with about 50-60 separate worksheets in them, and each spreadsheet has simarly named tabs. I am trying to replace the values in column Q on spreadsheet 2, and move them to column O on spreadsheet 1, on each worksheet.
Is there a way to do this quickly, or will I have to copy-paste many times over?

Is there a line I can add to the end of my If macro so that if the If section is true it will jump to a point in the macro after doing the tasks outlined in the IF macro? At the moment I have about 10 If macros in a row and it is causing the macro to take a long time to process. They are alos ordered should one become true all the ones following it will end up being false. The computer doesn't know this obviously so is there anyway to skip all the extra processing?

Is there a formula or macro that will allow me to click on one cell, let's say A5, and it would immediately take me down to another cell. I have a worksheet that lists, at the top of the page, a summary of the numbers entered down further in the worksheet. the whole worksheet is very long so I would like to make it so that if I click in a blank cell, to the left of the data, it would automatically drop down to the original data further down the worksheet.

I have an array 20 Rows x 42 Columns, which contains a competition draw.
I need to search this array for a unique value and return whatever the time is in the first column on the same row as the value appears, and enter it into column C in the Womens Times sheet.
I also want to return into column D the court number from row 3.
The reason i want this automated is as teams enter / withdraw we may need to drag the games from court to court to fill gaps, so i want the Womens Times sheet to update accordingly.
I have been messing around with index and match, but cannot quite get it to return what i need.
I have attached an example ... on the sheet "Womens Times" in column A there is a list of game numbers ( #1W etc etc) indicating womens game #1 and so on. The main sheet i am using also has a seperate tab for the mens games, hence the designator of W or M on the end of the game number.

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.

I'm trying to do is search a range of cells for a range of values AND then see if it matches one other value in another range of cells. In this case,
=SUMPRODUCT((T3:T49="P6")+(T3:T49="P5")+(T3:T49="P4")+(T3:T49="P3"))*(U3:U49="w")
T3:T49 can equal P6 or P5 or P4 or P3 but the cells can only be counted if U3:U49 is 'w' as well

I have a folder that contain a list of files in shortcut type. So that i can just click it without going to different drives and paths to open those files and it really save my time.
After updating those files, i need to zip it up. There are many files to zip up and it takes time by going to its path one by one. Do you guys know is there any method to zip up those files without going to its relevant drives and paths?

I wonder if there is a way to enter my formulas as an array formula using Control-Shift-Enter in a more time saving way than one line by one line
I have 600 rows of array formulas all in column E but at different intervals with some blank rows inbetween
The formulas are in place but just need the CSE to enable the array formula { }
I am not looking forward to line by line entry.
