I am trying to find a particular text in a column in excel. Below is the sample data.
Column A
ABA
ABA
ABC
ABC
ABZ
ABC
ABC
ABA
ABA
I would like to return TRUE/FALSE or 0/1 in Column B, B1, only if entire Column A contains atleast one ABZ. Tried search() & Find() but no luck.
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.
I am trying to search through an excel worksheet using the code below. I have a Form containg a text boxes and a command button (SearchTxt, FindCmd). The VBA program is able to search through XL but (1) It does not set the next value or text in a the worksheet active
(2) It only finds a value or text as an entire cell and not as a set of characters in a cell.
I tried to use Cells.Find method that solves the above problems, but i get an error message-Object variable not set (91) .
Private Sub FindCmd_Click()
Dim Rng1 As Variant
If SearchTxt.Text = "" Then
MsgBox "Please enter Vendor Number.", vbOKOnly, "Error"
End If
Set Rng1 = Range("A1:F10000").Find(what:=SearchTxt.Text, Lookat:=xlWhole, _
LookIn:=xlValues, SearchDirection:=xlNext)
If Rng1 Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "Cannot Find" & " " & SearchTxt.Text & ".", vbOKOnly, "Sorry"
Else
Rng1.Activate
Exit Sub
End If
End Sub
I have doc with app 1000 rows of data, one col being product description. I want to simply search the entire description column for a particular string of characters and enter a 1 in a new adjacent column where there is a match. Where there is no match, I want a 0 or a blank.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am using the function Instr to search for a string within some text.
My list contains Apples and Applesauce.
How can I search for only Apples because I seem to be returning Applesuace as well.
Obviously the other way round is not a problem because searching for Applesauce will not return Apples.
I want to search a longer text field for a shorter string that may be within it. However, I want to do this for multiple short strings.
For instance:
PhraseHidden word
Please search the text for the hidden message: Blue
The hidden word, Green, may be at any point
And the word may be different lengths like Yellow
I have a table of the hidden words (Blue, Green, Yellow, Pink)
I know I could use search to find one word, but is there a way to look for multiple words, and return the value of which one it finds? I have many hidden words (and the list is dynamic) so I don't want to just split into multiple searches.
I have a column that is filled with text of varying lengths and I'd like to search through each cell in that column looking for a specific word or words. Unfortunately the length of the text varys greatly between each cell and there is very little uniformity so I need to be able to search through the entire entry in each cell and then highlight that row if a specific word or words are found.
I'd also like to be able to add a number "1" in another column on the same row if the search finds a word or words. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
If the cell only contains the exact word or string I'm looking for then it's easy but I can't figure out how to search through text in a cell that contains more than I'm looking for.
example: Lets say I'm loooking for "caught fire"
column Q contains:
1 "The computer caught fire after several hours"
2 "A house on the hill caught fire"
If "caught fire" exists in the cell being checked, then highlight the row and put a 1 in a specific column, lets say J.
field b831 B831 write AASLQ0300000l;
PCPACIMTAAABl [B29 ]
field B7 b7 ;
field a8 @latestdate("PCP2EHSEAAAAh", jEnd);
field b8 @if(a8 <jStart, @latest("PCP2EHSEAAAAh", jEnd),
@avg("PCP2EHSEAAAAh", jStart, jEnd));
--------------------------------------------------------
I want to look through this text and copy out any 13 character codes that
are present (e.g. "PCPACIMTAAABl" ,2 "PCP2EHSEAAAAh").
These codes all share the following characteristics,
1) they are all 13 characters in length
2) the last character in the code is always either a "l", "h" or a "c".
3) they contrain no spaces
4) the first 12 characters are always in CAPS (followed by a lower "l", "h"
or a "c".
I have a list of customers and account numbers contained within a cell. I need a formula if possible that searches from the right of the cell and then returns the all the numbers. e.g.
Arsenal1234Required formula result 1234
Liverpool2456Required formula result2456
Chelsea100564Required formula result100564
I can not use text to columns as they data is not consistant. Also worth noting is that the customer numbers vary fro 1 digit to 9 digits long.
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
I have very large spread sheet with alot of data. My goal in this is to create a seperate simplier spread sheet with some basic information to work with day to day chasing.
My spread sheet will consist of 1 work book but to pages page 1 the main with all the info page 2 the simplified version.
The first column in the first page consists of company names. The first column in the second page is also company names. What I want to do on the second page is take certain pieces of data from page 1 on page 2 as well.
So for example page 2 column 1 will have company name and column 2 will have certificate number. On page 1 the certificate number is column 16
What I would like is for page2 to column 2 to do is search for page 2 column 1 text in page 1 and input the value of page 1 column 16.
I receive a spreadsheet with over 400 lines of data every month. One row (J) contains information from companies with account details. The problem is that the info uses different formats, so the data strings within the cells can be quite long (sometimes over 100 characters, including spaces, dashes and slashes). The one identifier within each data string is a name, usually somewhere in the middle.
So for example a reference to JOHN SMITH might be "123456-01-smith/john-01/01/10-London-Edinburgh" or "2010-01-01-123456/SMITHJOHNMR/123456". I have a list of names (Column Y) and what I need is some way (probably VBA) for Excel to look down the list of references and compare them to the list of names, and if one of the names appears anywhere with in a text string, to put the name in column K. So if 4546/JohnSmith-01/08/13 or Leeds-London-123SmithJohn789 appears, put John Smith in column K, if 0123-MrFredBlogs-0321-5 appears, put Fred Bolggs in column K.
I wrote some code which has compiled a LOT of text files telling me what computers have licence for certain software.
The name of the txt file is the computer name and data within is simple:
--------------------
Audit of GQL license
Audit of Visio license
Audit of Frontpage license
Audit of Project license
Audit of Visual .NET license
Audit of Word (Office) licenses
Found Office
--------------------
as we can see here this computer has 1 licence for OFFICE.
If the string "FOUND" is found then i want to be able to paste the licence name in a spreadsheet and in the next cell underneath paste the filename it was found in the e.g.
VISIO
comp1,comp2,comp3,comp4
WORD
Comp2, comp3, comp4, comp5....and so on......
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 have two named ranges of cells, validcodes and actions. I want to conditionally format any cell in the actions range, if I enter something that contains certain validcode range values.
Example: ...
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.

I am attempting to search for duplicate dates within a column. If a date does appear twice, I would like the date to be copied over to the cell in the row next to it. I tried to use
=IF( COUNTIF($A$1:$A$20,A1)>1,A1,""), and then fill down in column B, but it only seems to search the column for the first value.
If I'm using this function to find the specific text "EXPIRED" in the specified cells, how can I add additional cell ranges on the same sheet to this function?

I am trying to search text cells to return a word count within a particular row of cells and I am currently using the following formula:
=COUNTIF($D4669:$EI4669,$O$3), where cell o3 contains the word to search and $D4669:$EI4669 the data.
However, this formula misses data that contains characters such as "," etc.
I have about 2000 rows of text. Each row is a short write up about prospective new business. There is a reference to a projected dollar amount Within 'MOST' of the write-ups. In order to generate a report about the potential dollars being projected, I need to find an easy way to extract the dollar amount from the text.
In most cases, the projected dollar amounts are preceded by "FY2014" then a "$". However, there are a handful of cases where there is no FY2014, but some variation of the year indicator. Most of the dollar amount entries are written is short text - FY2014 - $5k, 2014 $15k. While some others are written out - FY2014 - $ - $20,000. In still other cases, within the writeup reference is made to the amount of product projected to be shipped by using the dollar symbols. For example - Estimated ship totals $$ for FY2014 = $5k. I've tried writing some formulas, but as in the last example - the first dollar signs are recognized rather than the dollar sign immediately before the value.
Sample data -
Estimated ship totals $$ for FY2014 = $5K New Customer Prospect 4/9/2012 Customer has still not decided if he

Is there a way to search a column range, and do an if/then on it in another cell. Ex) search e25:e37 and if none of the cells have anything in them, then input "--" into cell c14.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI was wondering whether it was possible to search for a sequence of numbers.
For example, if this is down a column:
A1: 5
A2: 4
A3: 5
A4: 6
A5: 9
Is it possible to have a find function to search for the sequence of numbers "4 + 5" and consequently highlight cells A2 and A3?
I have the fopllowing situation: My vendor supplies me with a csv file with all of the products/descriptions/price/categories each week. I need to import this information into a database which is working fine, but the problem I have is the vendor is putting the manufacturer as a category also. which creates 1,750 categories. Not very user friendly.

I need to be able to search for the value in column b (not case sensitive) and remove the value of b from a.
I would like to select all cells in column A that begin with the text "SP". Some cells will be contiguous but others will not. For instance in one case, I would like the macro to select cells with the text "SP" which would result in cells A1, A2, A3, A10, A15 being selected. I am working on building a macro that will then do other things to these cells/rows so this is the first step.
The below code will select the first cell with "SP". How would I alter this code to only search Column A and select multiple cells? or totally different code.
Code:
Sub test()
Dim r As RangeSet
r = Cells.Find(what:="SP", LookIn:=xlValues, lookat:=xlWhole)
If Not r Is Nothing Then r.Select
End Sub
I need to figure out a way to search for a string in column D and then paste the entire row that string is in to a new sheet. I'd like for this to continue until I paste all of the rows of that string into the next sheet. This is what I got so far, and when I run it, it says an error occurs and then it says either press enter or paste. After I hit enter, it pastes the first row to the next sheet, but that's it. Also should I be doing this with a button?
Code:
Sub SearchForString()
Dim LSearchRow As Integer
Dim LCopyToRow As Integer

The code I currently have allows me to search for one text entry in the column and then copy and paste all those entries into the next worksheet. There are 5 different text entries I'd like it to look for but can't figure out how to do it. I have a work around by using wildcards, but then I have to write another macro to delete out the ones I don't want.
