I am trying to create a search facility to search for accreditations.
currently my search only picks up on the first word in the cell.
ie Prince will be found in Prince 2 Foundation, but a search on foundation comes up with nothing.
How do i get the search to search all the text in the cell and not just the first word.
I am searching on a number of worksheets but in the same range on each worksheet.
I'm wondering what function I can use to search a specific word in row with many text?...
i attached for the example and details.
I have some cells with text entered in column A.
These cells contain a time reference either in '09:30 - 16:30' format or just an 'AM/PM' format.
What I need to do is to populate column B with the part of the string that comes AFTER the times in the text (either in hh:mm format or AM/PM format)
Example
336 Data 2012 Classroom Induction 2012/08/28 09:30 - 16:30 data about this ------> data about this
336 Information about this 2013/04/04 09:00 - 13:00 Information 2 ------> Information 2
336 info CHS Suffolk 2013/05/07 PM DRC, BSE ------> DRC, BSE
364 information 2013/02/12 AM DRC, BSE ------> DRC, BSE
I cannot get this to work and cannot use Text To column as there is no character I can use to split it.
I want to test a cell for the type of value as 678/256 or 345/872/098/987 etc. The common character in each would be the "/". First, I need to check the cell for this, then take the first number and compare it to an integer(if it is <> , or = to). I hope I am clear with my situation.

Not the most exciting data, but I need to identify which cells contain the sub string "HWA". Ideally the next column would have that string extracted into it or some kind of indentifier
I'm trying to search a column that has cells with various length strings. Included in the strange (at random locations) could be possibly be a 7 digit number starting with 4. I want a formula that counts the number of cells with contain that 7 digit number. Is this possible?
View 11 Replies View RelatedI have a pretty large sheet to look into ("CellData"). I am looking in column B which has the following value pattern:
129(8769)
I would like a vba code to search based upon numbers in brackets i.e 8769 only and once it is found that row should be put in a new sheet.
I have a cell that is populated by clicking a button which pulls info from an external source over which I have no control. I need to confirm the selection made by the user contains one of four quarterly values: Mar, Jun, Sep or Dec. I have this but wanted to know if there is a better alternative or a way to shorten the code.
Code:
If InStr(1, UCase(celltxt), "MAR") Or InStr(1, UCase(celltxt), "JUN") _
Or InStr(1, UCase(celltxt), "SEP") Or InStr(1, UCase(celltxt), "DEC") Then
Here is an example
Column A: Column B:
Row 1: Walmart 7886 1540.12 1540.12
Row 2: Walgreens 7886 37.95 ?
Row 3: Exxon Moble 7886 86.37 ?
I need to extract the number (regardless of the amount of characters) signified by the "." Another words, I need a formula that will give the the answers of the following in column "B"
1540.12
37.95
86.37
These are the amounts spent. It would be easier if there was a "$" but theres not... so I need to find the "." and give me the numbers associated with it.
I'm using a command button (p1) within Private Sub P1_Click()
It pulls the activecell as a string (for example $A$1) using a variable called CurrCell, I then want to search this string (currCell) within the worksheet "DATA" and select the cell 3 to the right of it, so that I can change the value.
I am trying to search a cell for multiple different strings and if the string is found, multiply a nearby cell by a factor of 1.5. if the strings are not found i want the original cell value to be used. I have tried using find functions but they do not seem to work. I have also tried using nested if functions with no luck..
View 9 Replies View RelatedOur software extract for our data base sucks and values do not align properly if all entries do not have tge exact same number of fields with data in them.
I have always done the alignment in excel manually. I can find where the data starts to misalign and would like to do this automatically.
There is an id number for each entry (row) that is 6 digits long. How can I search a row for a 6 digit number and return the address of that cell? i can use this address as a starting point and use the offset function to do so alignment from there.

I have a workbook with a macro that searches through worksheets to find certain values and place the location of the value in a worksheet cell. The following line ontains the found cell.
So I have the code that allows me to search for the a certain value in a cell and then copies a certain cell to the other spread sheets. Here is the code that does that
Code:
Sub SearchMacro()
Dim LR As Long, i As Long
With Sheets("Sheet1")
[Code].....
The code will just need to search for the string "HSFL" and I won't have to hard code all the different variations of HSFL as I mentioned above.
I have 400 workbooks to examine if cell P54 is 88% or lower. Is there an easy way, or is VBA with a loop the way.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI need a formula (but most likely a VBA macro) that will search through a folder for a file than get data from that file. The files are named in systematic way, but I need the entire formula to work from inputting a mold number in one cell. E.g. I input 6291 in cell A2 the vba macro searches for file “6291 mold.xlsx” and returns a range of numbers as well as pictures in specified cells. Is this possible? If so how?
The closest thing I have found is VBA macro that retrieves a list of media files in a folder, I listed the code below.

I'm using the following code to delete select rows one at a time. I need the last row in the range to remain therefore I prevented the user from deleting the row one up from the row that contains "Total Hours" (which is always in Column B). The code works great as long at the user clicks into a cell in column B. If the user clicks into a cell in column A, C, D, E, F, G, H, or I then the code allows the user to delete the last row.
I believe I need to search entire rows to determine if the row contains "Total Hours" .

Have the following scenario I'm struggling with in Excel 07:
2 worksheets:
WS1, have a bunch of customer data. Relevant columns in this WS include customer number (unique value) and a column called "adjustment date", which is formatted as a date as the label name implies.
WS2 is a bunch of customer transactional data, with each row being a unique transaction. Relevant columns here include customer number (formatted same as in WS1) and transaction date.
Couple things to note: in WS2, each customer may have dozens of transactions. Right now, I have that WS sorted by transaction date in ascending order (so oldest to newest).
What I'm trying to do (unsuccessfully so far!) is build a formula in WS1 that says "on what date was the customer's first transaction after their adjustment date"?
I've tried constucting something using =index+match, but to no avail.

I'm trying to print score cards from the scores sheet (two different worksheet pages). Some score cards (each score card is one page) will only have 3 players and some will have up to 5 players so I can't just go down the list and use a formula to transfer data line by line. I will set the score sheet up I just all of hole 1 players to be printed on a card and so on with hole 2-18 also I need First and Last names on the cards and possibly score total by the name.
