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.
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 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.
I am trying to get the following equation to search for cells that contains the term 3R. The issue is I have several different 3R formations as follows and want it to count all of them.
3R
3R FIB
3R S Nasty
3R S Nasty FIB
This is what I am currently using but I want it to be more detailed. Where my search is for everything on 1st down with 10 yards to go in a 3R formation.
=SUMPRODUCT(--(C2:C350=1),--ISNUMBER(MATCH(Criteria,{10},0)),--(H2:H350="3R"))
23
20
1
10

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.
Attached File: Example Find Missing Combinations.xlsm
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.
How can I create a multiple if statements that returns a specific response if the cell is blank?
For instance, =if(K6=[date],"Carry Out"), if(K6=[blank],"Break Out"))).
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 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.
I need to search column C for the text "X". If an "X" is found, I need to copy the text from the cell directly left of it and paste it into a seperate worksheet into cell B2, then go back to the original worksheet and delete the cell with "X" on it and the cell to the left.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI 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

[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 am using Windows 7 and Excel 2007.
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.
