View 4 Repliesis it possible to declare an array or anyother datatype like the following in VBA?
Dim myArray() As Integer
myArray("A") = 0
myArray("Test") = 0

after checking some conditions i need to change the corresponding values too, like the following,
If mycondition = True Then
myArray("Test") = 1

I would like to find a text string in the column A and index the value after the string.
For example: somewhere in the column A is a text "value: 800 USD" , so I would like to find the text and index the characters after the ": " in the cell C5. Therefore in the cell C would be "800 USD"

I have trying to find the maximum date value in a series of campaigns with the same name [Combnined Campaign (Campaign)] , the aim is to pick the lowest version of the same name if the campaign is connected and pull the max end dates and number of weeks [Week Number Combined Campaign] that overall campaign has been running. A spreadsheet below explains this too.
What I need is to search for all the campaign names in column [Combined Campaign (Campaign)] and find the matching week number. What I am currently using is this formula:
=IFERROR(IF(E2="Yes",INDEX($A$1:$K$26,MAX(MATCH(F2,$G$1:$G$26,0),1),COLUMN($K$1:$K$26)),""),"")
Yet Max doesn't work with text.

I have a spreadsheet with 2 sheets. The first just links to another file and pulls in the contents of a particular sheet, cell for cell. The second sheet is a formatted report that I'm creating to put that data into a different format for presenting to others. I'm using the Index and Match function along with range names. All is fine except where the string that should be returned is very long. When that happens, I get "######" all the way across the cell. It doesn't matter how wide I make the column or how tall I make the row, the "#s" do not go away. Is there a limit on the number of characters the Index function can return?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am trying to come up with a macro that will search a range for a specific string of text plus Interior.ColorIndex = 4. The range can have the text in it multiple times but i only want the macro to fire the next line of it if the cell address also has that color. Is there a way that can be done? My code below stops after it finds its first occurrence of the string and moves on to the next lookup. How do i make it look for not only the value but the index color?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a built a catalogue of records for various of my companies assets. Each asset has its own sheet in a work book and I have used a vb macro to include an automatic Index sheet at the front of the book. This takes the names of the various tabs, in the order I have them in the workbook and creates a simple listing in column A as an Index List
What I want to do is to build a summary table to the right of the Index List, pulling in a few of the key data points about the assets into a single table.
To do that I need to be able to extract the text string from the Index List and use it to form part of a cell reference pointing to a specific cell in the relevant individual Asset sheets.
I have this table
.......A.....B.....C....D
1.....I......a.....d.....g
2.....II.....b.....e.....h
3.....III....c.....f......i
As you can see, the number I has a,d,and g, II has b,e,and h, and III has c, f, and i
I want to make formula that if I make the input g it would return I, f would return III, and c would return III, and so on
I want to make four formulas by using VLOOKUP, INDEX, MATCH, INDEX&MATCH separately.
I have a udf that returns a string to the cell. The string is made up of multiple string "objects". What I am wondering is if I can set the font color of certain objects so that when the final string is built and returned, the font of those portions is set.
Ex. of simple idea (this is not actually my code, just a way to illustrate. I realize there is no point to this UDF):
VB:
Function StringReturn (Str1 As String, Str2 As String, Str3 As String) As String
StringReturn = Str1 & Str2 & Str3
End Function
Now what if I wanted Str1 and Str3 to be blue, and Str2 to be red for example. So that when the UDF calculates it would return: Str1Str2Str3
Wondering if it is possible to generate a random 4 digit number based off an alphanumeric string?
Example;
Cell A1 has 123XVF1234
Cell A2 has 321AFW4321
In B1 I would like to have a 4-6 digit number that is generated based on the alphanumeric data in Cell A1 (and so on down the list). If that is possible, I would also need to be able to convert back the 4-6 digit number back to its original alphanumeric value
Example;
If B1 returns 643562 it would need to be able to be converted back to 123XVF1234
In sheet1 I have a simple database consisting of 5 columns of data
Column A : Name ie James Jones
Column B : payroll number ie 123456
Column C : shift times ie 1245-2124
Column D : job title ie floor
Column E : comments ie A/L or 0600-1500
what I would like is some code that will go down Column E and if a 'time string' ie 1300-2130 is found then copy this string and paste into corresponding value in column C. If a text string is found ie A/L or Sick or anything like this then ignore and move onto next cell, loop this until all cells in column E have been checked.
I need to create a string of all the Acc Number but I dun not wan any repeat of the same Acc number in the String . The number of Acc number to be put in the string may varies sometimes. It may varies from 3 to 1000 or more . Is there a way to write a general formula to create such string?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a situation where a word (in this case "Restaurant") is misspelled in a list of about 78,000 location names. The location names are in one column, and the [misspelled] word "Restaurant" is anywhere between the first word of the string, to the last, with any amount of alphanumeric/symbol characters between. For example:
Alice's Restaurant
Alli's Restaurant & Bar
Alexis Restaurant of Waukesha
Amigo's Mexican Restaurant #2
I want to replace any misspellings of the word with correct, but since the list is so long, and the way the word is misspelled varies so much, going through manually is entirely too time-consuming.
Some of the variations I've seen so far are Resta, Restau, Restaur, Restuara, etc...
Is there a way to search and replace cells that contain the text in any location of the string? Specifically, where ever there is JUST "Restau", replace with "Restaurant", regardless of where it is in the string? This way, trailing text is not deleted or manipulated, i.e. "Alice's Restaur and Bar" will change to "Alice's Restaurant and Bar".
I have a spreadsheet which has "Employee: [agent 1 name]" in column A and it may or may not have the word "Break" in the same column before it mentions "Employee: [agent 2 name]". The amount of data between agent 1 and agent 2 varies and am needing code which will insert a row above "Employee: [agent 2 name]" if "Break" is not found, and add the word "Break" in column A on the inserted row. I would need this to loop through the spreadsheet until all 100+ agents have been searched.
I'm also needing this done for the word "Meeting" and would insert a row 2 rows above the next agent.

My goal is to get as close as possible to this,so it will be easier to sort and manage
Code:
nameGaryage40cityPittsburgheight190
nameLindaage30cityMichiganheight150
nameHarryage50citySan Joseheight180
I can't use the "" sign as delimiter to separate them into different columns because the age,city,name and height fields are in random positions on different cells.The good thing is person's name will always come after "name" string, age is alwals followed by "age" string, so it cannot be like nameheight40Michigan180
I think the following would be the easiest method(not for me tho).If on B1 I had a formula that said "find the string "name" and write anything after it until you reach the next "" character".On C1 field I could have a formula "find the string "age" and write anything after it until you reach the next "" character.On D1 I would have the same for "height" string,then on E1 for city string.
My question is somewhat similar to this one

View 9 Replies View Related I am trying to do a sort of index match thing using VBA. What I am attempting to do is to use the prefix of a long number and try to find that exact prefix in a string array, and output that string array value. So this is what I have so far as a test:
[Code].....
So I can match the text exactly so if I put PREFIXB in cell A1 in this example, i will get the msg box saying "YES", but if I make it PREFIXB1231k4j3jj1kj32cj, it will display "NO". I want to get it so that PREFIXB will be displayed in the cell that I put the formula in. So if A1 = "PREFIX1AAA100CF" and cell B1 = "=ABC(A1)", cell B1 will display "PREFIX1AAA".
Now the thing is that these prefixes can have different lengths, but will never encompass the exact prefix of another. So if I had a prefix of: PRE1AB, I won't have a prefix of PRE1A.
Working with a scheduling report and trying ultimately to get it down to a line item report with the associate information and their earliest start and latest end for the week. Already made a lot of fixes to the formatting involving junking empty cells and trash data, but running into a road block on some of the trash data.
Here is the format of the report at this point. Names have been changed to protect the innocent.
Agent: 2366 Bacon, Kevin
Date
Start
End
[Code].....
So what I need is something that will iterate through the report...such as an while and find the cells in column A that start with "Agent:" It needs to compare that cell to a stored value to see if this "Agent:" is a repeat. If it is then it needs to delete that row and the next one and shift up. If it is not then it overwrites this "Agent:" with the previous one in the stored value and continues the while.
I know what I want to do...but not shure on the code cause I am not great at VBA.
Oh...if it matters probably need to allow for about 10k line items to iterate through...right now report is at 6k...but allow room to grow.

Assuming I have table with work weeks in the columns: WW01, WW02, etc.
And assuming I have few tools in a fabrique: A02, A08 etc.
Each tool have its own production value for each week: 12.15, 31.44, 17.98 etc.
I wish to built a function that will return me the best tool for a give WW with its value
To get the valus I used the functions:
=MAX(IF((F2:I2=D10),F3:I7))
=MIN(IF((F2:I2=D10),F3:I7))
And it worked okay (with ctrl-dhift-enter only)
To get the index I tried:
=INDEX(E3:E7,MATCH(MAX(IF((F2:I2=D10),F3:I7)),F3:I7,1))
=INDEX(E3:E7,MATCH(MIN(IF((F2:I2=D10),F3:I7)),F3:I7,1))
But the last argument must be an array. So I tried:
=INDEX(E3:E7,MATCH(MAX(IF((F2:I2=D10),F3:I7)),IF((F2:I2=D10),F3:I7),1))
=INDEX(E3:E7,MATCH(MIN(IF((F2:I2=D10),F3:I7)),IF((F2:I2=D10),F3:I7),1))
Still not working...
Not posted for a few weeks, its been crazy at work!
I have a problem!
What I want to do is use the MAX formula in C:C, but return the value to the left of =MAX(C:C)
I’m not brilliant with Index which is what I suspect I need to use
I am using sheet 1 to pull data from sheet 2 using this formula
=INDEX(Attendance!D:D,MATCH(C2,Attendance!A:A,0)).
This on its own works to pull the data. However the data is repeated for each 'set' of data ie each group of repeating names, as I drag down. I just want the data to appear once on the first lie of each group so I have added an if to the formula
=IF(C2=C1,"No Match",
My complete formula is now
=IF(C2=C1,"No Match",=INDEX(Attendance!D:D,MATCH(C2,Attendance!A:A,0))
I have the following data and i want to get the highest value over average using if, i wort this formula
=IF(INDEX(D3:D12,ROWS(D3:D3)>AVERAGE(D3:D12),"Greater","Lower"),
But it doesn't work.
