Searching Among Different Cells For Different Values
May 2, 2007
I have the following data
A | B
_______________________
WD |100 From Bangalore
CR |Hyderabad 50
CR |Mysore 70
WD |900 From Kolkata
_________________________
and so on in A and B columns. In the C Column depending on the cell value I want just the places like Bangalore, Hyderabad, Mysore, Kolkata etc only to be displayed like shown below.
A | B | C
___________________________________
WD | 100 From Bangalore | Bangalore
CR | Hyderabad 50 | Hyderabad
CR | Mysore 70 | Mysore
WD | 900 From Kolkata | Kolkata
______________________________________
The Places in column B are not at finite position and that is the big problem i am facing when using Left or Right function. Could anyone help me with a proper Excel function to get this done. The thing is the whole cells should be searched and accordingly the output should be obtained.

I have a list of records that for which I cannot find values for. Essentially I have a dataset that I need to match to other information but for some records this 'other information' is missing.
1. I have a list of records with missing information
2. I have a folder with a large amount of sub-directories
3. I have many DBF files inside of these sub-directories with X columns and x rows
4. Somewhere within some row of some column is a value that links to my list of records
5. I need to search for my value in, say, A2 and return the file name and directory in which it lies
6. It can be text or number
is this clear?

In my userform, i have 2 comboboxes
one holding value ranges for the x coordinaate (eg 0-10, 11-20,21-30)
the other holding values for the y coordinate (eg 0-10, 11-20,21-30)
i want the user to be able to select a range from the x coordinate and the y coordinate...then i want to search thru all the B5 n B6 cels across the worksheets and return those worksheets that match the users input...
is it possible for this to be done?

I have a list of values in column A of sheet 2. What I would like Excel to do is search for each of these values on the whole of Sheet 1. Sheet 1 has around 20 columns of information and a dynamic number of rows.
In column B of Sheet 2, Id like TRUE or FALSE displayed depending if the value is found on Sheet 1. For example
AB
1 DOGTRUE
2 CAT TRUE
3 MOUSE FALSE
4 HORSE TRUE
If this can only be achieved via macro, please post the code rather than a file as I cant download the file here.

I am trying to create a sheet for invoicing. I have a sheet I want to use as a database. I want to search the database from the "invoice" sheet and fill the fields once i have found what I am looking for.
attached is a sample database I will use. I dont want to use the whole row, only selected colums. for example short_item description, item_number, Brand, SRP, ect. I want to search on the "invoice" sheet, for example, item description,and fill out the rest of the necessary fields in that row with data from my "database".

I 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 created a worksheet with 7 Tabs. 6 of the tabs are tables of existing parts and their catalog information. The Front Sheet I want to be a place where people can select data via a drop down or typed in, and in turn have that headsheet display the results of the search.
I have the 6 tabs broken down by part type, and figured those can easily enough be the first choice on my worksheet. So by picking that I can direct excel to which tab we want to run the search on, but ater that I'm drawing a blank.
For an example, say I'm looking for a Elbow that has a 6 size on one end. I would like to use the drop down to choose "Elbows" and then like to select/type 6 in the End 1 size box and have Excel show me all the reslts from the Elbow Tab that match that criteria.

I have a problem with excel that I have been trying to solve for the past 5 days! I have 2 tables (one with 500 rows, the other with 15000) that contain information about pipes.
The smaller table, Drift List, is to be used as a reference to fill up the bigger table.
Here is how Drift List looks like:
Size NominalWeight WallThickness APIDriftDiameter AlternateDriftDiam.
5.5 14.00 0.244 4.877 7.625
5.8 14.88 0.253 4.915 ----
...
The other table, Pipe Database, Looks like:
Size NominalWeight WallThickness DriftSize DriftType
5.5 14.00 0.244
...
I have to fill up Drift Size using APIDriftDiameter from the first table, BUT if AlternateDriftDiameter is available, I have to use that instead.
DRIFT TYPE column has to indicate either API or Alternate (Depending on which one I have used).
Here are the two files:

I have a sheet named "original" with columns a, b, c. My code checks each cell in column C for a value and then copys columns A,B,C to a sheet named "Order". It works fine except I need it to start pasting the results in row 16 instead of row
Sub PLACEORDER()
Dim lastrow_first As Long
Dim lastrow_second As Long
Dim x As Long
lastrow_first = Sheets("ORIGINAL").Cells(Rows.Count, "C").End(xlUp).Row
For x = 10 To lastrow_first
If Sheets("ORIGINAL").Cells(x, 3) <> "" Or Not IsEmpty(Sheets("ORIGINAL").Cells(x, 3)) Then................

I have been trying to find a formula for this but I have yet to find one that works for me.
Data;
English - United Kingdom, Czech, Spanish
UK - United Kingdom
Swedish
English - US
French
US
France
German
Portuguese
+8000 more various values
I am looking for a formula that can search for multiple values e.g. english, us, uk and united and then return the value "Yes".
I was looking for something that includes wildcard searches or contains so that it is not affected by upper or lower case but combining this with multiple searches was proving difficult.

Below is what I currently have on my excel spreadsheet:
1.
2. Input Column 3
3. 0 No
4. 2 Yes_2
5. 0 NO
6. 0 NO
7. 0 NO
8. 2 YES_6
9. 0 NO
10. 1 YES_8
11. 0 NO
The spreadsheet starts by the user inputting numbers ONLY in column 1 (under input). The rest is done automatically by implementing equations. Column 2's equation is easy, if the value of column 1 is greater than 0, return YES_(row number). In addition, the maximum number of Yes's in column 2 is three (constraint).
My problem is that I need a 3rd column, consisting of only 3 rows that search for YES_1, YES_2, and YES_3. The 3rd column's equation is easy, I will simply use the Vlookup function for YES_1, Yes_2, and Yes_3. Therefore the PROBLEM IS: I need column 2 to output YES_1 (in row 4, from the example above), YES_2 (in row 8) ...etc. This would mean chaning the basic IF equation that I have which simply sees if the value in column 1 is greater than 0 then outputting "YES_the row number".

I'm trying to code a macro to search through all the files in certain folders to find a value defined by the user. The rows containing that value will then be copied and pasted into a separate workbook. My boss currently planning on storing about 550 different files (90 days worth of data) between these folders, but there is the possibility of years worth of data collection, should he change his mind about the 90 days, so I'd like the code to be efficient if possible. What I've tried to do is search each file for the value, then set a range equal the first row containing that value. If the value is found in that workbook, the code loops through the worksheet, adding all the other rows with that value to the range. Then the file looping exits (the values I'm looking for are only contained in one of the workbooks) and the range is copied and pasted into the master workbook. Each workbook has only one sheet.
I'm currently getting a run-time error "13" Type Mismatch error when it gets to the line where the code is supposed to find the value and initialize the range.
Code:
Private Sub SubmitButton_Click()
Dim mybook As Workbook
Dim masterbook As Workbook
Dim rownunm As Long
Dim pathparts(1 To 5) As String
[Code] ......

I 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 am trying to search three columns on a worksheet, that contain a range of customers, product names and the amount of that product sold to the to the customer.
On a separate worksheet I have created a table, which I hope will show the customer, the product and the amount sold. So basically I need either a formula or piece of code that can match the customer and product, along with the amount sold and display it in one table. The data is by nature not kept in alpha or numerical order and my problem lies in being able to search through each row and extrapolate the necessary figure.

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.

Would like to write an IF statement where it reads if any cells in a column are highlighted and gives the sum of those highlighted while ignoring the ones unhighlighted.
Is there any way to do this or an alternate method that would possibly work?

Concatenated cells. My issue is how do i search through a sheet with cell values that have been concatenated?
Lets take an example:
I would like to search for a string call sales in sheet1 which would display all the employees and schedules for that department (do note that employees can be part of not just one department). but my cell formatting is as follows:
Sheet 2, Column 1
Employee name
E.g. Row 2 Employee1
Sheet 2, Column 2
Department (cells concatenated)
E.g. Row 2 Sales, Marketing (Concatenated Cell)
Sheet 2, Column 3
Work schedule
E.g. Row 2 8 AM to 5 PM
So when you search for sales, it will display employee1 and work schedule.

The following macro searches for missing combinations. This macro will search the complete list and will return any missing combination from "1, 2, 3, 4" to "7, 8, 9, 10".
I need to make some changes in this macro, so that it will search for missing combinations only within a specified range of cells (and not the whole list). For example (see excel file attached), I would like to place a search within range("G23:J183"), from combination "1, 2, 6, 9" to combination "4, 6, 8, 10". In this case, it should return only 9 missing combinations.

The following code works fine to determine if a particular character occurs within the selected range of cells:
Code:
Sub CheckIfCharacterIncluded()
For Each MyCell In Selection
If InStr(MyCell.Formula, "#") Then
MsgBox ("The " & "#" & " character was found in cell: " & MyCell.Address & " at position " & InStr(MyCell.Formula, "#"))
End If
Next
End Sub
However, I would like to extend this functionality to check for multiple characters, using some sort of array that contains all the characters I want to check for e.g. "#","*","£" and so on, without having to repeat the above code for each character for which I need to check.

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 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 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

Column A & B has a list of Supplier Part numbers and Buyer Part numbers as below.
Supplier P/N
Buyer P/N
HGFYE/12
111111
HYEYDH/14
222222
[Code] ..........
Cell D2 is an open cell that any data can be entered into as a search term. What I am trying to do is search for a Supplier P/N that have the characters "H", "G" or "E" in it, so entering "HGE" into cell D2 would display the results into columns F & G as below.
Supplier P/N
Buyer P/N
HGFYE/12
111111
HDGTEY/56
333333
I can easily do a formula for 1 character or a string of characters.
To complicate it further, if the search term has in this example has "YFF", I would like the same formula/code to workout that the result in F & G should show this time
Supplier P/N
Buyer P/N

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" .

Why won't Excel recognise any entry in a cell that contains a ~. For example I have lists of job numbers such as FI9CMR~002 or RE1RE~~004.
The ~ is essential to us in order to pad out the number to 10 characters. This data is exported into excel from another database.
