UserForm / Macro To Search And Create New Sequential Reference?
Jun 4, 2014
Every new file I create is named with a sequential reference based on some criteria:
PackageName_(Place+SequentialNumber).
So, in my worksheet I have several columns with package names: LABK, LAVO, LACR… and on the rows I have the file names.
I have this UserForm I created Search.JPG
Basically (despite I imagine it’s not that simple), when I type the package name and the place as follows, for example
Package = LABK
Place = SAO
After clicking on “Generate” button, it should look for all file names containing LABK and SAO, verify what the last sequential number is (highest/MAX) and generate a new one in the text box below the button.So, if the last file name is LABK_(SAO005), it’ll generate a new one as LABK_(SAO006).
Im am trying to create a search marco button that allows me to search in multiple worksheets in one work book. I came across this CODE the first part of it works. It pops open user input box and ask for the word that i would like to search but the this error message pops up Runtime error1004 Method 'range" of object'_Global'failed and i dont know what to do
Private Sub SearchButton_Click() SearchString = InputBox("Enter Search String", "Search") If SearchString = "" Then Exit Sub For Each c In Range(myRange) If InStr(LCase(CStr(c)), LCase(SearchString)) Then
I have created a userform which searches from the data using the value that i put in text box.
E.g. if i put student i.d in textbox1 all other textbox show me the data like name contact detail etc.
But I want one more criteria. i want to add one more textbox to search for e.g either i put student i.d or locker no whereas right now i can only put student ID.
I have a macro that I found somewhere on the net to look within a folder and list all the files of a certain file extension.
The macro to do this is in the attached example and is called 'Get_File_Names_Within_Dir_ext'.
I have created a basic userform outline, 'UF1' for the user to define: Select File Extension Select Folder to Search Destination Sheet
I just don't have any idea how to sync the two.
If you type 'exe' into 'TB1_File_Extension' of 'UF1' the macro should search for '*.exe' files within the specified folder.
The search folder 'RefEdit1' box should open a windows explorer box (or some such) so that the user can select the directory in which to search for the previously specified file extension.
'TB2_Destination_Sheet' is a text box for the user to type the sheet within the workbook in which to list the files found within the specified directory.
'CB1_Find_Files' should activate the macro to find any files for the specified criteria.
There is also a Button 'Find File Types' in Sheet1 of the file which should activate the userform 'UF1'.
I am trying to do some basic VBA in my spreadheet, I just want to create an auto-open statement that inputs then next sequential number in column A1 every time the s/s is opened i.e.1,2,3,4 .....
I am using excel 2007 and my knowledge is very limited. I used a code:
Sub AUTO_OPEN Range("A1") = Format(Range("A65536"), "YYYYMMDD") & Right(Range("A1"), 3) + 1 End Sub
(the first time you open the file you would need to add the first entry '20021122001)
But this does not work and I get a compile error when run thru debugger.
I have three columns of data (A,B,C) and I want to add a formula or script to create the data in column D. The 'XXX's are all numerical values and will vary.
Column D should be a sequential list, which restarts at 1 any time that either: - the value in column A changes, OR - column A stays the same, but the value in column B goes from something to nothing, together with the value in column C going from nothing to something (or vice versa).
I'm a definite newbie when it comes to macros but can figure out formulas ok.
So I wrote a formula to break out a sort string and it got pretty complicated so Im trying to create a macro so I don't have to write out the formula all the time. However the sort tag can be in different columns when I need this formula so I tried the "run macro" function to create a relative reference.
Now my problem is in the first formula I need "$EM2" not "EM2".
I tried the obvious to me fix of R$C[-1] which did not work... And when trying to re-run the macro it puts RC143 which will not work because the sort string is not always in column EM.
I am using excel 2007 for database of a large e-commerce site. I am creating search-able attributes from keywords found in description, title and meta-data columns.
I am using the following function in "column X" to search 4 columns (see formula) for specific music styles.
I need a code for vinculating a user form and perform some searchings on a excel database. For further details see attached file.
I created a user form in which some infromation is requested in order to search on excel database, I need a macro to search, display and update this data/information.
As an example, if i need to find the part number "C23138810-1" using the button search database and contains or match options, then displays all the information on the user form, this information is located in the same row where the part number is. Then, if some change is required, update is by clickig button "Update Data", and then if require "find next" item to review or update.
I have a form made that needs to copy a value from another sheet. The Form is 10 rows 5 columns and and in format for easy print. On sheet2 I have a column where each row is filled with a name.
I need to put this name into sheet1, so in the the appropriate cell I put =Sheet2!B2 and it gives me the value (name) from the other sheet.
Then I want to copy the form bellow the 1st one so that I have the same form but with the next name, which means I want =Sheet2!B3 to appear when I copy, but since my form is 10 rows when I copy it the formula copies to =Sheet2!B12 instead of B3.
I need to make close to a thousand of this forms ready for printing and I would like to avoid having to manually set the formula for the next cell.
This code create a userform on the workbook opening .I'm having problems with
1. Closeing the Visual basic window after this procedure runs 2. Being able to use the create userformstext box value in other procedures 3. how to delete the userform on close

I have a large sheet (currently some 5,000 rows and growing) where each row is allocated a Unique Reference, however that unique reference is based on two criteria, 'Region' and 'Type'.
There are four 'Regions' and three 'Types' across the whole sheet (see attched sample).
Because of the ever increasing number of entries and the fact that the sheet may be sorted so the unique references won't always appear in sequential order, I am looking to try and find a way for the unique refrence for 'new entires' to the sheet to be generated automatically, based on entires in other columns. The sheet structure is relatively simple, with 'Region' shown in one column and 'Type' in another (again, see attached sample).
The unique references adopt this structure - 1st letter of the region (N, S, E or W for North, South, East or West), followed by 1415, followed by the first 4 characters from the 'Type', (REGI, NATI or COUN for Regional, National or County) followed by a sequential 5 digit number 00001, 00002, 00003 etc.
resulting in for example N1415REGI00001 or W1415COUN00012 and so on.
Because there are thousands of entries, I need an automatic way for the unique reference to be generated, ideally once both the 'Region' and 'Type' fields are populated, so the macro (or whatever method works best) will automatically determine the previous highest number for the relevant series and automatically add the next number for the new entry, based on the above criteria.
I don't know if this is possible with a macro or whether there is an easier formulaic way to achieve this?
I need a macro that will number a cell (A1 for example) starting with the number 1, and another cell (A2) with the number 2, then back to the first cell with 3, then back to the latter cell with 4 and so on.
I have a large table with data, and I would like to have a box at the top, and when some types the name of city, then all records that have the city will come up. how to do it.
how to use cells to create refrences in a formula so I don't have to hand write each refrence in a cell. I wanted to do this by creating a row with accending numbers (1,2,3,4,etc.) and a column with decending characters (a,b,c,d,etc...). Can this be done?
So for example I have a cell formula that reads the following
'Raw Data'!A2
Can I modify this formula so that the formula will automaticly refrence a different letter that corresponds with the cells location? So I would use this cell to change the (A) automatically depending on where the cell is in the spreadsheet. Likewise can I do that with the (2) the same way?
Does this make sence, or should I just continue to hard write each cell?
The reason why I need to do this is because the raw data is in a single column and the formulas that I need to use this data for needs me to convert the data into rows instead of columns.
The spread sheet I work with will not post info on the second sheet automatically. So I'm in the process of trying to figure that out. The second page is basically giving a percentage of parts the person did compared to what another company would pay that person per hour to do at 7.42 an hour. I need the second page to take all the info on the first page and figure out the %. What it does to get it is, adds the numbers and divides by the total to get average and then compares it to 7.42 and hour.
Also, if i could get the Name boxes to be auto filled with the file name? that possible? IE, John smith is the name of the file and it would auto fill that into all the name boxes on the sheets. And could i get the date to auto fill it self from the first date box? I included two files, one is a blank sheet and the other is a sample of the data entered and what i want it to look like.
Create a search engine in vba for a worksheet, a macro to be assigned to a button. The 'search engine' to that 'Find button' that I have in mind is on these parameters:
- search any result, complete or partial, non-case sensitive; - the text to search is typed in B2; - after the text to search is typed, it only works by pressing that 'Find button'; - it only searches column D in the current worksheet; - tells the total number of matches found in C2; - when that Find button is clicked, it goes automatically to the first result found and stops; - if that Find button is clicked again then it goes to the next found match and stops, and so on; - when it reaches the end of the document, it just restarts to search from the beginning; - if there are no matches, it just makes a sound and does nothing; and types zero (0) in C2.
create macro for the below scenario I need to search whether "Sep-13" folder is available in my desktop. If folder is there then i need to open the folder else i need to creat a folder in the name "Sep-13" and open the folder.
Need to create (or teach me how to create) a search function that could extract data and display the results with ALL possible answers (or all lines that contain that word), much like a search engine would. I have enclosed a file as an example of what I mean.
I have written a code that acts as a directory search engine for peoples names. There is a form called search that is loaded and asks the user which name he or she would like to search for. When the user enters the data, whether the name is spelled right or not, the search finds the first closest match to whatever was entered into the form. I would like to change this in one way. Many times there are people with the same first name but different last name or two very similar first names that might be highlightes instead of the exact name the user is looking for. I would like to ask if anyone knows how to write a code that would insert each of the names that have all or part of the entered name into a forms box to where a final selection could be made to select the exact row of cells that the user wants to see. This is much like the find feature on your PC. You enter what you want to find and it brings up all of the things that include your keywords and you make the final selection. Is this possible or just very complicated? This is the current search code that I have written. It will find the closest match but will not insert it into a form
Sub FindIt() Dim FDescriptions As Range Dim Reply As Long MysName = Search.Textbox1 Set FDescriptions = Columns(4).Find(What:=MysName, Lookat:=xlPart, LookIn:=xlValues)
If FDescriptions Is Nothing Then Reply = MsgBox("Food Not In Database. Try Again?", vbYesNo) If Reply = vbYes Then Search.Show Else FDescriptions.EntireRow.Activate End If End Sub
I am trying to create a cross-reference database in excel. I am not sure if I am using the correct terminology, so here is what I need to do:
I have three columns that contain text cells, each with different numbers of rows. Now imagine that cell A1 is related to cell B3 and also to cell C5. There are numerous different combinations similar to this. Is there a way to show this relationship between cells in excel. If so, how?
I have created a table which is an index of all the worksheets. Now i would like to create a formula using the index reference. I get the right result if i concatenate but the text doesn't turn in to an excel formula.
=CONCATENATE("=";A1;"!";"D4") A1 contains the worksheet name, if the worsheetname is "A" then i would like it to return a formula that is =Sheet1!D4
Is there anyway to create a circular reference between three cells, and still enter text freely into any of the cells?
I've speculated that it might be possible by utilizing three or more other cells slaved to the first three, and simply kept off to the side.
To give a better understanding of what I'm trying to do, I've created a finance spreadsheet for our shop's snack bar, and below is a screenshot of a portion of said spreadsheet.
As you can see, all of the formulas are set up to where Columns F, G, and H are directly affected by what I put in Column E, but I don't want to be limited to just Column E; I want the other users and I to have more freedom than that.
Once again, my goal is to set up a 3-cell circular reference in which data can be typed into any of them. I've considered setting up a macro, but those are only active temporarily, and I would prefer the calculations to be made in real-time.
I have a program that creates a userform, but it cannot complete the initialization. The initializer calls the sub below, supplying the relevant worksheet, category header, and combobox tag for the form. So far, it will find the header of interest on the worksheet. I want it to load all the cell data in the target header column into the form's combobox. The sub, however, has an issue with the line highlighted in red. I think it has to do with the way the combobox tag is referenced in the line, but I don't know how to fix it.
I'm building a UserForm that has several TextBoxes to gather basic project information to fill in the header of a report. The first TextBox is the Job #... I'm trying to implement code for an "Auto Fill" button (based on working VBA code from another workbook) that will fill the other TextBoxes in the UserForm... The working VBA code from the other workbook does "Auto Fill" for Worksheet Ranges, not UserForm TextBoxes. How should I reference the UserForm Textboxes in the code to specify their value?
Workbooks("Template Generator.xls").Forms("ProjectInfo").Activate If TextBox("InptJobNum").Text = "" Then MsgBox "Please Insert Job Number" TextBox("InptJobNum").Select Exit Sub Else Jnum = TextBox("InptJobNum") 'Specify Job Number Workbooks("Job Log.xls").Sheets("Job Log").Activate End If If WorksheetFunction. CountIf(Range("A2:A1000"), Jnum) = 0 Then Workbooks("Template Generator.xls").Forms("ProjectInfo").Activate MsgBox "Invalid Job Number, or cannot be located... Please correct and try again" TextBox("InptJobNum").Select Exit Sub End If
I basically need a formula in one tab of a spreadsheet that if another cell contains text it will search for that text in another tab and display a useable hyperlink to it.
So I want a formula in A1 in Sheet1 that will search for the text contained in A2 in Sheet2 and display a useable hyperlink to the cell in which that text is contained, in Sheet2.
This may not even be possible, but if it is then that would save me SO much time.
Attached is my excel worksheet I have created for a tracking/billing system for numerous schools. How I can create a search form?
For example, I want to find all of the kids in 5th grade that had to be referred throughout the whole document. Or I want to find a certain name to see if they have been paid but I do not know the location.
I am building a Workbook which takes data from SheetA and inserts it into SheetB. Part of the data is only entered when a positive value exists.
I then do an export from SheetB.
The problem is that I need to get the column number and pass it to the cell reference based on the field name in row 1.
Dim sFindstring As String Dim rFindcell As range Dim iR As Integer Dim iC As Integer
sFindString = " Find this string in the cell" 'Using cells find the findstring Set rFindCell = Cells.Find(What:=sFindString, After:=[A1], LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious)
'OK so look here iR = 3 'I am trying to pick up the column number iC = rFindCell.Column
rFindCell throws an object or with block variable not set error. Is there some property that I need to set.
I have a userform for data entry. I am able to make codes for Add ( Add entry to database), clear ( Clear userform ) , Cancel (Exit userform). I have some more buttons and functions to be assigned to them but not able to write code .
Need codes for :
1) Have search box which searches Mat id in the complete database and returns value in the search result listbox. When we click on the result in listbox , the userform values are filled with the values that the mat id has . Then if user wishes he can update teh details for that mat id , and click on update button . the data is updated in the database. Or he can delete the entry from database by clicking on delete button.
2) Have arrows which will navigate through database ( need macros for that ) .
