Unable To Search/find ' Single Apostrophe
Jun 26, 2006
I imported the data from someone. And the cell in the column comes with the single quote'infront of the cell value. For example, the value that you see in the cell is "920-F-Y", but if Click on that cell, it turns out to be '920-F-Y, there's a single quote infront of it. I can't do a replace all on that single quote to empty space for some reason. Might just be my excel, or there's just something wrong. The problem is, I have 2 sources of data. I imported the first one, it has the single quote infront of it, i imported the second one, it has no single quote infront of it. I want to do a comparison, but I can't because it's different by single quote.
You can open my attachment, and try to replace that ' (single quote) with a space, and excel will complaint that it can't find it. I could go through each one and delete it individually, but consider that there are 5000 cells, it's just a lot of work.

Find Multiple instances of Numeric Criterion in Row & Return To a Single
Column.
I have a Dynamic Named Range "Data" spanning 10 Columns and many Rows.
Each Row may contain duplicates of the Numeric Criterion.
I would like to find ALL instances of a specific Numeric Criterion across
each single Row in the Dynamic Range "Data" and have the Results returned to
a New Sheet in a single column.
NEW Sheet:
The Numeric Criterion is housed in G5.
The matched criterion should be returned to the New Sheet starting at G7.
Duplicate instances in the same Row should ALL be returned to the same cell
in Column G on the New Sheet.
Sample Data Layout:
Columns I J K L M N O P Q R
Row No.76 1 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 1
Row No.77 2 2 3 2 1 2 2 0 0 0
Row No.78 3 3 3 3 3 0 3 0 3 0
Scenario:
Looking for Numeric Criterion 1 (one).
Expected Results - New Sheet:
Row No.7 Column G (Cell G7) 1111111
Row No.8 Column G (Cell G8) 1
In Row 76 of the Sample Data ALL seven Numeric Criterion of 1 (one) should be
returned to the same cell G7.
In Row 77 of the Sample Data there is only one Numeric Criterion of 1 and it
should be returned to cell G8.

Code:
For Each src In Worksheets
If src.Name Like "EF Spend*" Then
Sheets(src.Name).Select
Else
Next src
End If
This is an extract of a larger code, but this section is producing a Compile Error: Next without For but I cannot workout how to resolve it.

When I try and run my macro I keep getting an error message saying Unable to get the Find Property of the Range Class and it refers me to:

I am using the "Find" in VBA and wanted to test if the value searched for could not be found.
So I get the
error = "Unable to get the find property of the worksheet function class"
When the text cannot be found.
Dim zz As Variant
zz = Application.WorksheetFunction.Find("xx", "Hello", 1)
I also tried
Dim xx as boolean
xx = Application.WorksheetFunction.IsError(Application.WorksheetFunction.Find("xx", "Hello", 10))
But this produced the same error.

I have a spreadsheet (called “output”) with a single list of unique account numbers in column A. In columns B, C, D (column B = Invoice, column C = Sales, column D = class), I need to add information from a data file based upon certain search criteria which is as follows:
For each account number I need to list an invoice number and the corresponding sales amount and class. I need to list the invoice with the “highest” sales amount. There is only one catch to the issue I am encountering and this is I need to first look for the highest amount in Class A sales, if no Class A sales, then look for the highest in Class B sales….and then Class C….and then Class D. If there are no sales in Class A, B, C, or D, then return a value of “no match found”.

I have a code which can search a column of data and register if any of the cells are equal to eg. "LOMM" or another given shortname.
But sometimes the cell that i want to compare to "LOMM" contains multiple shortnames. (eg. "LOMM, GIV, ANDHE").
In such a case I cannot use the if cells(i, y) = "LOMM" then...
I need an "if"-statement which can identify LOMM in a cell containing multiple shortnames.
I have tried using the FIND and SPLIT functions but it does not work.

I am having trouble getting my IF statement to test if the cell contains the text "sale" return "X" if not "Y". I need it to search through the text string in that cell and find a certain word, and if it finds that word, retrn a value. I am really having difficulty with is what symbol or function do I use for the logical test? (i.e. =, <>, MATCH, INDEX?)

Attached is a sample workbook, but essentially what I'm looking to do is automate the process of searching through a data set where the value of interest (in this case, names) often has multiple entries, with different values attached to each instance.
I would like to be able to get a list of all values in a given column that match a specific name in another column.
Currently I'm using a basic INDEX/MATCH search just to see whether the data exists at all, but that's only half of what I have to do here, and I'm totally stumped on how to get a comprehensive list of all matches.
For reference, if you look at the sample, what I need is a list of all values in the "CPT" column that match the name searched for in the first column.
The actual data set size is at most 3-400 entries, if that makes a difference in how to approach this.

I have a spreadsheet that has relatively clean data, but at the end of every row is a long notes fields (often filled with several paragraphs of text). I'm trying to search inside each one of those notes to see if it contains certain boilerplate language / legalese / key words.
If I was just looking for one word, it would be easy -- I would write =IFERROR(IF(SEARCH("keyword",E2)>0,"Yes",""),""). That way, if the keyword is present, it returns "Yes", and if it's not present, it returns a blank.
What I want to do, though, if look for a long list of keywords simultaneously, and if ANY of those keywords are present, have it return a "Yes".
So I could do something like =IFERROR(IF(or(SEARCH("keyword1",E2)>0,SEARCH("keyword2",E2)>0,SEARCH("keyword3",E2)>0,SEARCH("keyword4",E2)>0)),"Yes",""),""), but that seems horribly inefficient. Especially since my list of keywords is likely to change over time.
So what I want it to do is search each cell by simultaneous reference to an ever-changing table of keywords (call it [KeywordTable]). And I can't figure out how to do that. The search function is resisting all of my efforts to put multiple search values / a range of words inside of it.
To reiterate: the goal is to look at one cell filled with text, ask "does the text in that cell contain any of the keywords contained in [KeywordTable]", and if the answer is "Yes" return yes, and if the answer is no return no (or blanks).

I have a vlookup function that requires the lookup values to be text, and I have a long list of numerical lookups.
My problem is that I need to go through all these numbers one cell at a time and change them to text. I've tried the easy way of highlighting the cells and formatting them to text but it doesn't work
All that works is adding an apostrophe at the beginning of the number which is VERY time consuming.
My question...
What is the apostrophe doing and why can't I do the same by highlighting and formatting as text.

An apostrophe has appeared at the beginning of the words and/or numbers in the cells. I have tried using the "Replace" feature to remove these apostrophes and it won't work. I need to remove the apostrophes so I can upload our inventory, as the SKU must be pulled exactly.

I have a formula who examines if they are the same. The last number at first quote is not a problem (the 45). The problem occurs only and allways when the horse's name have an apostrophe " ' ". In first example apostrophe is different from the usual. If i manually delay it and replace it - type keyboards apostrophe everything works fine. Obviusly its a symbol. I want a small macro for replacing all these symbols at, lets say column B ,where these names are located. How can i use substitute at this case?

I have to match up two columns of data from different sources.
In one column the apostrophe is being sorted as a space, in the other it is being ignored.
e.g
Col A
Misty
M'Lady (ignored)
Mohayer
Col B
M'Lady (read as space)
Misty
Mohayer
Most advice I see concerns removing hidden leading apostrophes which is not the case here, others recommend Control and H to find and replace. This should work but does not as Excel does not seem to read the apostrophe at all.
I have tried Text to Columns > Delimited > Other ' to remove and then would have done =A1&B1 to put the text back together, but again this just does not read the apostrophe.

,I have the following Macro:
VB:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()Worksheets("Sheet1").ActivateRange("$B$1").SelectSheets("Sheet1").ScrollArea = "A1:z25"End Sub
Now I want to disable the above such that I am able to add an Apostrophe ( ' ) in front of every line of this Macro. Is there a shortcut for this or do I need to Manually add apostrophe in front of every line? And then after disabling if I need to re-enable it is there a shortcut to that too?

On exporting information from another database to excel the fields which are text in nature, these are always exported as with an apostrophe at the beginning of text into the excel cell. I can do nothing about this as the export to excel is a defined routine which i have no control over.
Unfortunately due to the amounts of data, I am handling 10,000 lines, the physical removal of this apostrophe at the beginning of the text in each cell is not a good way forward.
The apostrophe is to indicate it is a text string, I have tried edit find and replace looking for the apostrophe with no luck.
It is important for me to remove the apostrophe as it then allows the text which is in fact a hyperlink to be live

As you can see, mostly every two rows contain same values. But there are some values (here it is 4) that is a "single row".
I want to find every "single row" and delete them. I tried a long time but reached frustration now.

I receive a lot of spreadsheets which contain numerical data where each cell has been forced to be text by a leading apostrophe.
how to strip the apostrophe out so I can process the data, please?
I know the apostrophe is a hidden character, so I can't use Find & Replace, and using MID or RIGHT doesn't seem to work, either, even if I Copy and Paste Special as Values.
Is there an alternative to manually editing every single cell?

I searched through some pages of old threads but could not find specifically one solution for performing the subject task on text strings in cells.
I have a lot of Excel files which contain both numerical data and text strings where each cell has been forced to have a leading apostrophe appended to the left side of the text strings and numbers.
How can I strip the leading apostrophe out?
I know the apostrophe is a hidden character, so I can't use Find & Replace.
I would like to figure out some VBA so that I could build this into and automate this via a macro I'm working on.
Is there a way to comprehensively do this for all cells containing text and numbers in a worksheet?
