Searching A Column For Specific Text To Return A Number Of Items Found
on one sheet we have a summary of the main list, which includes totals of money recieved, totals of all the different sources (ie, where they heard about us from), the totals of the frequencies they pay (ie, how many donate monthly, quarterly...) ... etc. on the next sheet we have the "main" list of donors, their IDs, amounts, frequency, source ...
the totals on the first sheet are updated manually, but i want to change that as there are a great number of errors.

Finding Cells Containing Specific Text By Searching
The easiest way of explaining what I'm after is to say, I have letters of the alphabet, in their own cells, and I want to find them by way of a search. I don't mind how this is done, but it would be good if for example you entered A, C and E, any cells containing those letters changed, maybe became bold, or the cell filled with colour.

Use A Column Of Data If A Specific Value Is Found
I have a set of data (time in minutes) below (fig 1) that I need to use if the total time between two entered times matches a coloms total. If it matches I want Excel to use the data in that colom to affect the data in another (fig 2) colom adding the times to each cell. Looking at both figs. below I want Row B, Colom A in fig 2 to add Row A, Col A to Row A, Col A in fig 1 since both are the total of 19. fig 1 Coloms A B C D Row A 5 5 6 6 Row B 5 6 6 8 Row C 4 5 6 7 Row D 5 4 4 5 Total 19 20 23 26 fig 2 Coloms A B C D Row A 1:00 2:00 3:11 4:01 Row B Row C Row E Row F 1:19 2:20 3:33 4:27 Row F-A= 19 20 23 26

Calculate If Specific Word Found In Column
I would like to use the following code to see if the word "reservoir" shows up in any of the rows in a certain column. If it does I want to insert the formula = SUM(D7:D257)*0.1 into cell C2 and if it doesn't then I want to put a 0 into cell C2. I've tried many routes but can't get past the error if it can't find the word. Range("B7:B257").Find(What:="Reservoir").Activate

Lookup Column Values In Another & Return Value If Match Found
I need to create a macro that will loop through a list of names on Sheet 1 / Column A, and if that name is listed on Sheet 2 / Column A, then it will set Sheet 1 Column B (for that one name) to "1". The problem I've run in to is that both the lists change in length each time I have to run this (so no set range). I've been able to get this to work with two ( nested) loops, where the first loop goes through the Sheet 1 list and the nested Loop looks for the name on Sheet2, but it is extremely slow. Is there any simple VBA code or formula that I'm missing that could do this? I've tried to do something with the " Find" VBA command, but I can't see how it would apply to this if the list changes in size.

Find Text & Offset By Found Value Row And Column
I'm writing some code where I need to know the column in which a specifc text string occurs. Because of the nature of the sheet, the string will only appear in one column, but that could be in almost any column on the worksheet. For example say the text string is "Year 1", I need to find the column with this string, and then offset down to a predetermined row, or offset over to the appropriate column (something like below). With Selection .Offset(0, x).Select If List.Selected(0) = True Then y = i - 1 With Selection .Value = Salary * Inflation1 ^ y End With Else

Find Text/Value & Use Found Cell, Row, Column In Macro Code
I am trying to clean up and simplify my macros by compartmentalizing frequently repeated commands. I like to search for text in column headings and define the cell containing it as a range that I can later use .column or .row commands on, so my macros are a bit more flexible. The code I currently use for this is Dim XColumn As Range ‘the cell containing the text “X” Cells.Select Selection.Find(What:="X", After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, _ LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, _ MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False).Activate Set XColumn = ActiveCell I would like to be able to create a Macro (possibly name FindSetCell()) that will accept arguments and achieve the results of the above code in other macros I think the command might look something like FindSetCell(“text to be searched for”,”name of newly Defined Range”) But I have not figured out how to code it

Minus Number From Cell And Result In Specific Cell And Specific Column
I have number in cell (A1) = 100. when I enter number in any cell of column(B) for example (B1)=10. then in cell (C1) the result of (A1) - (B1) = (90) and if I add in cell (B2)=10 then in cell (C1) the result of (A1) - (B1+B2) = 80 .accumulatively in cell (C1). and any number in column (B), the result will be (A1) minus any number in column(B) accumulated in (C1) second question I have number in cell (A1) = 100. when I enter number at cell (B1) = 10 then the result would be in the adjacent cell (C1) = (A1) - ( B1) = 90 and If I enter a new number in cell (B2) = 10 then the result would be in the adjacent cell (C2) = (A1) - (B1+B2) = 80 and If I enter a new number in cell (B3) = 10 then the result would be in the adjacent cell (C3) = (A1) - (B1+B2+B3) = 70 and so on.

Vlookups For Searching Specific Worksheets
I'm building a spreadsheet which has a formula which performs a vlookup on a sheet. Now I want to leave the vlookup formula so that you don't need to change it. What I want to achieve is that the vlookup table array references a cell in the current worksheet which is a name of another worksheet. What this will enable me to do is to keep the forumla unchanged by by changing the cell with the worksheet name in it points the vlookup to a different sheet. This is because I have multiple sheets which have similar data on and I don;t want to edit the forumla to point to the different sheets.

Add Specific Number Of Spaces To Text In Cell
I've got a single column worksheet with a varying numbers of characters in each row. At the end of each row's cell value I must add a 5 char string. Preceding that string I must have enough spaces to make the total length of each row 106 characters. I've already:Defined and populated the string. Let's call it "strMyString".Established how many rows are in the sheet and stored it in "lngUsedRange"Written the following which cycles through each row establishing how many spaces need to be added: Dim lngSpacesNeeded As Long For i = 1 To lngUsedRange lngSpacesNeeded = 101 - Len(Range("A" & i)) Next i Now I just need to know what else to put before "Next i" to locate the end of the existing text in the cell and add the number of spaces in "lngSpacesNeeded" then add "strMyString".

Counting Number Of Populated Cells In A Specific Column
I am sure this should be REALLY simple, but i just can't find the answer i'm looking for. I have a sheet which changes daily in quantity of information. I want some simple code which counts up the number of populated cells in column A and returns the answer to a cell in another worksheet - or just automatically use it to print that number of pages. I think i should be able to do the printing side, but, currently have no idea how to count up the number of populated cells in the row. If someones feeling very generous though, giving me the code for printing that number of pages too would save me some work (the worksheet which needs printing is different to the worksheet which needs the number of cells adding up.)

Return Value Based On Last Number In Alphanumeric Text
I want to be able to return a text string of either Trainee 1 or Trainee 2, (or default to other text) based on codes that are 4 digits (DD01, KKB1, KKB2, KKC2, GG03, etc, where starting with K and ending with 1 or 2 is the criteria for TR 1 or TR 2 . There are two many KK** items to list them all in an If statement and I can't seem to use a wildcard. =IF (right(c1,1) = "1", "Trainee 1", B1) gets me halfway there I think but of course doesn`t pick up Trainee 2 and also returns Trainee 1 when it sees DD01.

Return Text Based On Number Range
I have a range of some 2,000 plus cells that are various numbers in them only. What I want to be able to apply is a macro that will look at the number in a cell and if the result is between a set range, produce a text, eg. If the number is between 0 - 999 then insert text [url] this is where you go'. If the number is between 1000 - 1999 then insert text [url] this is where you go 2' If the number is between 2000 - 2999 then insert text [url] this is where you go 2' etc. I have up to 11 ranges of numbers to insert (up to 10000 - 19999). So the text is the result of the formula.

Return Column Number Of Cell
I have a Range variable that points to a particular cell. If I wanted the address, I would do, cellName.Address. This returns, for example, "$F$3". If I wanted to have the column "F" as a number (column F would be the 6th column, so 6), how could I do that without storing some kind of array of letters and number equivilants. It would also have to work past the 26th column when the column addresses switch to, like, "AA", "AB" etc.
