Searching For A Number Within A Text String

Jun 2, 2009

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.

Searching Columns From Right To Left

Jul 6, 2009

I have 12 columns of numeric data in cells AA80 through AL80. Beginning with the cell on the far right (AL80), return the value if >0. Otherwise, proceed to the cell to the immediate left (AK80) and return the value if >0, otherwise proceed to the next left cell...all the way to AA80. I tried this by nesting IF functions, but have too many IF functions to nest. Lintcoop posted a similar thread in 2008 but with text data.

Searching For String Within Text

Jan 7, 2014

I 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.

Searching For A String In Multi-Lined Row

Jun 6, 2014

Best approach for searching for a piece of string from a multi-lined cell. I am trying to do it via VBA but can't seem to figure it out. I tried FIND and Instr. I was thinking of converting the multiple lines into a single line then do an instr comparison from the result but I don't know how to do it.

Sample:

String to search = "MARY"
Output Location value

Table:
Location-----Names
US ----------JOHN AND RINGO
----------MARTHA YULET

UK-----------JAMES THE FIRST
-----------HENRY THE FIFTH
-----------MARY HAD A LITTLE LAMB
-----------JOHNNY BRAVO

Cells in column "Names" has multiple lines Cells in column "Location" are not merged....

Searching Through A String For Position Of 1st Non-Zero Digit

Sep 1, 2009

I have a text string in a cell, something like:

000024AC1011.

I need to find a way to find the first nonzero character in the string, and what position it is in. For instance, in the above example, 2 is the first non-zero character, so the function would return 5, since the 2 is the fifth character into the string.

Searching For A String In A Text File

Sep 12, 2006

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......

Searching For String In Column And Pasting Into New Sheet?

Jul 16, 2014

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

Searching For And Extracting Dollar Amount From Text String

May 8, 2014

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

Insert A Zero On The Left Of A String?

Jan 22, 2014

this formula as a result =IF(LEFT(A3,1)="0",RIGHT(A3,LEN(A3)-1),A3) It worked great to strip the left most zero from a string of text numbers in the cells where the formula was applied.

However, now I need to put the zero back in lol!

So...how would I adjust the formula (or write a different one) to insert a zero as the first digit of a string of text digits?

Searching Combination Of The Criteria

Jan 17, 2010

I have created a program where there is a spreadsheet containing all of the items in a loan tools store, which are issued out to people. I have created a "Search/Find" function within the "Issued Items" sheet. Within this search function, you are able to search all or any combination of the following criteria: Serial; Description; Name; Location. For example: If you just type data in the "Serial" field, it will just search that column and select the cells which contain that value.

The problem I am having is when searching multiple criteria, each and every cell in the columns which are searched is selected. Whereas, I would like only the cells which match all of the criteria to be selected.

For example: If I was to type "1" into the "Serial" field, "2" into the "Description" field, "Liam" into the "Name" field, and "Workshop" into the location field:
Current: Serial column is searched and all cells with "1" in are selected. Description column is searched and all cells with "2" in are selected. Name column is searched and all cells with "Liam" in are selected. Location column is searched and all cells with "Workshop" in are selected.
What I Would Like: Program to search each of the specified columns and only select data which meets the searched criteria. For example: Rows 20 & 28 to be selected as they both contain, Serial "1", Description "2", Name "Liam", Location "Workshop".
Note: The sheet will have password protection.

Insert Multiple Characters Into String With LEFT RIGHT Functions?

Apr 29, 2014

I've got a long list of account numbers of varying length and ultimately need to add a dash and a dot into these numbers. Here's an example

12345678 to> 1-2345.678
123456789 to> 12-3456.789
1234567890 to> 123-4567.890

The standard format is always 3 numbers after the . and 4 numbers between the - and .

I can get to this by doing a series of functions starting with this:

=LEFT(A1,LEN(A1)-3)&"."&RIGHT(A1,3) to get 12345.678 or 123456.789

copy/pasting that value into another field and then doing this

=LEFT(E1,LEN(E1)-8)&"-"&RIGHT(E1,8) to get the results above

I can't quite figure out the format to combine the multiple steps/functions into one so that I'm not copy/pasting values and re-doing the function.

Searching For Values Based On Multiple Criteria

Jul 20, 2009

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:

Searching XML File - Get Error Number 9?

Dec 11, 2013

The sub i'm currently using does an instr search for a unique string in an xml file. This works fine but i'd like to speed up the search if possible because I have a large number of xml files to search. My problem is that i have very little experience in parsing xml.

I notice that if i load the xml file and look at the namespaces i see item(1) through about item(20) and the unique string is always contained in one of those items. Note that the number of items can be different for each xml file i load.

The xml file is loaded into an object i define as oInstance and i'd like to do something like:

Do
counter = counter+1

if oInstance.namespaces.item(counter) = uniquestring then[code]....

but now i get Err.Number 91
