It always hassles me to have to change the default setting of FIND to search by Columns instead of Rows.
My question is simple: Is it possible to change the default setting so that every time I use FIND it will search by Columns by default???
When searching the 'Look in' contains 'Formulas' by default, how do I change that so that the default is now 'Values'?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a workbook that has worksheeets for every day of the month. The data in the worksheet consists of columns (employee #, name, clock in/out times, and break penalty).
What I am trying to do is create another worksheet that searches all the other worksheets for a "yes" in the "break penalty" column and then create a list of all the employees that received a break penalty for the entire month. I would like this to be able to auto populate throughout the month as data is entered and not have to use a filter every time I want to compile this list.

What i need to do is to go through the data and highlight anywhere where it may have the word "in/outsourcing" (The data is based in cell AA which is just a description of text)
Other than doing Ctrl F through each cell is there a faster way in which excel can search through the cells and even highlighting the cell where the word occurs.

I have a list of names in column C and a list of Codes in column A. I have a unique list of the names from C in column M and a unique list of codes as headers in N1 through S1. A name will be used several times in column C But will only match a code in column A one time. My codes are: In, Out, Shop, ConfRoom, Libr, Musm, and Thrtr. How can I search the name and code and get the time from column E and put it in the appropriate cell. I can concatenate everything and do a VLookup but that would be several thousand rows.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a number of worksheets with data in various rows, all rows of data have UID's. I want to create a search function, which returns the location of the of the UID. Or better still the cursor will jump to the cell where the UID is located. It's very much like the way the 'Find & Replace' function works.
E.g. If I type the UID of 1234 into cell A1 I want to be able to press a 'Find' button (which will be located alongside cell A1) that will search the entire workbook for 1234.
Code such as the one below carries formulas in columns 3 and 10 down to new rows when inserted. However, I need to allow a user to overwrite the formula in col 3 with any text value. But if the user overwrites the formula on the last row, and then manually enters a new record below, then the code in the last row of col 3 does not get copied down. Is there a way to search upward in columns 3 and 10 until reaching the last cells with formulas, and apply the formulas to the new cells in cols 3 and 10 on the new row? Or, is there a way to store the formulas:
=IF(A21<>"",B21,"") in column 3
=IF(B21<>0,IF(C21<>B21,A21&", "&LEFT(C21,2),A21&", "&LEFT(B21,1)),"") in column 10
Storing these somehow would be good if the user overwrites the formulas in the very top row of data (row 2).

The first tab of the excel sheet called 'Data' displays information on the years that 2 countries traded with one another. For example, from the years 2005-2010, Belgium traded with multiple countries (Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile). However, there could have been one year or multiple years where it did not trade with a particular country (e.g. in 2006, it may have skipped trade with Chile).
What I'd like to do is basically create a function that searches through the data and returns a 1 if Belgium traded with a particular country each year from 2005-2010 and a 0 if it did not. So, for instance, because Belgium traded with Australia, Brazil, and Canada in all 6 years, the function would return a 1. But, because it did not trade with Chile in all 6 years, it will get a 0.
The second tab called 'Results' displays what I'd like it to show. I've tried using if statements (but they don't work with text), vlookups, match, index .
I need a formula that matches a number on Sheet1 with a number on Sheet2. Sheet1 contains 7 columns of numbers. Each column corresponds with the same column on Sheet2 if the number on Sheet1 column 1 can be found in Sheet2 column 1 then the result is True. If the number is not found in Sheet2 column 1 then the result is False. This same criteria would apply to columns 2 through 7 as well.
The formula would start by selecting a number in Sheet1 that corresponds with the formula column and then scan the entirety of the matching column on Sheet2 for that number. If it is found in that column the result is TRUE.
Sheet1 H3 corresponds to Sheet1 A3 scans all of Sheet2 column B for the value in A3 if it's in Sheet2 column B the result in H3 is True if it's not then the result in H3 is False.
EXAMPLES:
Sheet1: column heading 1 - (A3) = 2223333333
Sheet2: column heading 1A - (B72) = 2223333333
Result H3 = TRUE
Sheet1: column heading 1 - (B3) = 222333333314
Sheet2: column heading 1A - (C67) = 222333333314
Result I3 = TRUE
Sheet1: column heading 1 - (C3) = 222333333332
Sheet2: column heading 1A - (D61) = 222333333332
Result J3 = TRUE
Sheet1: column heading 1 - (D3) = 222333333321
Sheet2: column heading 1A - (E62) = 222333333321
Result K3 = TRUE
Sheet1: column heading 1 - (E3) = 222333333331
Sheet2: column heading 1A - (F65) = 222333333331
Result L3 = TRUE
Sheet1: column heading 1 - (F3) = 222333333351
Sheet2: column heading 1A - (G70) = 222333333351
Result M3 = TRUE
Sheet1: column heading 1 - (G3) = 222333333352
Sheet2: column heading 1A - (H69) = 222333333352
Result N3 = TRUE

I want to search Column A in sheet1 vs column B in sheet 2. If there is a match, i want copy Column B in sheet 1 and PASTE it to Column E in sheet2. I have a macro (helped by those on here ) that will find the duplicates and copy cells from the cooresponding row only to another sheet.
The tricky thing is, the macro I have makes a complete new sheet. I want to copy the data to column E on sheet2 ONLY if there is a match for that cell. If ther eis nto a match i dont want it to put anything.

I have 2 columns of data (Column A and Column B).
I would like to be able to search the two columns and see if any of the data repeats in either column. Here's an example:

16124821578844
16166161578954
1616781 1616781
The list is much longer than this. I need a formula or whatever that would scan both lists and say, nothing matches, or 1616781 matches or highlight the matches or whatever, just so long as I don't have to go down the entire list multiple times.
I would have downloaded Htmlmaker and provided a glimpse that way, but the web site is blocked here at work.

I am having a littler trouble with using a function to find text (last name) in a table and then return full name from the table. See attached sheet with example of what I am looking for.
A quick explanation:
Have a table with columns that have team and name of player. My input is the last name of the player and the team. Need a fomula that searches all the table and then returns the full name of player based on 2 conditions of last name and team.
I am currently using the simple code block below to jump to a cell on another sheet based on a user-inputted value to a cell on the current sheet. Although jump is too strong a word at the moment...walk slowly might be more appropriate.
The problem is that the sheet that contains the target cell hosts a very sizable used range and the FIND function can sometimes take almost a minute before finding and focussing on the required cell.
While I do not believe that a search range below that of sheet level for the FIND() function is possible, the cell that I am looking to jump to resides in a one-column, sorted, dynamic named range (=Bookings!JobID) on the target sheet, so I am sure that it must be possible to find and go the target cell in a much quicker timeframe than that being delivered at the moment. Just can't find something suitable at the moment.
I'd like to search for text and get the column character where the cell with the found text. The combination the two 'demands'/formulae into one are giving me problems. And the fact that the column character can exist out of two characters I cannot solve.
I can get the column number with HLookup right? and it gives me the column number, not the character. I can solve this partially (and ugly even more) with =Char(((Hlookup etc)+64 (letter before A))).
I need the code to create a find box into which a search string is input. The code should find the string at a particular cell, then copies this cell and four cells to the right to a location in sheet 2 of the same workbook

stringToFind = _
Application.InputBox("Enter J Number and Stage Number. For Example J1234 ST1", "Search String")
' Set an object variable to evaluate the Find command.
