Using Wildcards Within Formula (add Together Will Change)

Jul 10, 2009

=SUMPRODUCT(--('Trial Balance'!A1:A100="6120"),--(ISNUMBER(MATCH('Trial Balance'!B1:B100,{"00.00.01","00.01.01"},0))),'Trial Balance'!G1:G100)

Is there a way to use this formula, but instead of looking in Column B, and having to list 00.00.01, 00.01.01, that it only looks at the last two digits of the ##.##.##.

Here is the issue. Each month, the numbers that make up what I need to add together will change. However, all I am really doing, is combining any accounts that have the same sub account (Column B) ending in the same digits of either 00, 01, 02, or 08. So I could have 01.01.01, 01.00.01, 01.02.01, etc. and I am just focusing on the .01 on the end. I would like to say, look at all the sub accounts in B, and only add (G:G) on those that the last two digits equal .01.

Wildcards In Array Formula

Jul 8, 2009

I'm working with several columns of data that represent the types of employees we have at my organization. I'm trying to count the number of each type by status, as well as determine the salary payments to each type.

My problem is that we have titles like "PAA I" "PAA II" and "PAA III" and I've not been able to quite figure out the right formula to deal with this problem.

Using Wildcards With Search Formula?

Jan 17, 2013

I'm trying to use wildcards in the Search formula and it isn't working the way I thought it would. I'm trying to use the following two strings:

????1234

compared to

1234????

Shouldn't search find these two strings the same since given the wildcards? Or am I missing something? If I use the above, I receive a VALUE error rather than a match.

Using List Of Data With Wildcards In VLookup Formula As Lookup Value?

Mar 8, 2013

I have a list of rules on how to group account numbers. An example is below. I have a very long list of full account numbers (no wildcards). There are roughly 75 rules on how to group the over 40,000 accounts. I want to use the vlookup to determine what group each full account number (always 11 characters) would belong to? It seems that the vlookup isn't treating the ?'s as wildcards. I can use the full account number rules with the wildcards in the cell in the sumif function though.

So ultimately I would like to have my list of account numbers like 40000000000 and 40000000001 know that they belong in group 1 based on the rule table below.

Full Account Number
Account
Subaccount
Group

Weekday Formula: When I Change The Month, It Automatically Will Change My Formula

May 9, 2006

=CHOOSE(WEEKDAY("1 Jan " &$C$1),"Sun","Mon","Tue","Wed","Thu","Fri","Sat")

where C1 = the year 2006. B1 has the month Jan and I want to input that into my formula, so when I change the month, it automatically will change my formula. I tried =CHOOSE(WEEKDAY("1 $B$1 " &$C$1),"Sun","Mon","Tue","Wed","Thu","Fri","Sat")

B1 = Jan
C1 = 2006

Sum If And Wildcards

Nov 24, 2006

I'm using the sum if function but can't get the correct answer because the text that I'm searching for includes * which I assume is the wildcard symbol. I'm looking to sum on the text integrated projects* but it's returning a value which also includes integrated projects* VAT.

I don't want to have to change the text (e.g. by using find and replace). Is there any way excel can incluce just the exact text I need (including *)?

Sumif Using Wildcards

Jun 5, 2009

on one page I have a list of dates in one column and a list of numbers in another column. I want to look up January say in the dates column and sum the relevant numbers in the other column, (all the dates start with 01, i.e. the first day of the month), so I tried:

=SUMIF(Sheet2!A6:A117,"01/01/????",Sheet2!I6:I117)

If I put in the exact date, i.e. replace ???? with 2008, then it works fine, just returns the number for that one date, but with the wildcards, I always get zero.

Using Wildcards In Find & Replace

Aug 16, 2007

I'm doing a search simular to this

=VLOOKUP(D*,Sheet2!A*:B*,2,FALSE)

and I want it replaced with this

=VLOOKUP(D3,Sheet2!A1:B42,2,FALSE)

HOWEVER when I do the find & replace I don't want it to change whatever the current value is to D3 I want it to stay as whatever it was already....so how do I exempt the "D" value from the search?

In cells G2 to G57 I have the months from Jan-09 to Aug-13. In H3 to H57 I have the monthly data. In cell k2 I am trying to average all of the December data without individually clicking each cell (Ex: Dec-09, Dec-10, Dec-11, Dec-12).

Copy Rows Using Wildcards

Jan 2, 2014

I have a problem with the code below. I've borrowed parts of it from various online sources and attempted to make it my own. I need it to go through a column of data that is imported into column A. The unique search criteria are rows that goes sequentially (i.e. 1, 2, 3). The format for the search is (#. text). I need to copy those rows to sheet 2. The problem with the code is that it only copies the first occurrence of the sequence (the row with 1.) to sheet 2 and stops.

Here's an example of the data:

Kalé

1. Kalé

$$ Japanese, Sushi Bars

Shigezo

2. Shigezo

Southwest Portland, Downtown

Code:
Sub Copy_FSE_yelp()

LastRow = ActiveSheet.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row 'Finds last row
For i = 1 To LastRow 'creates loop for column

If Cells(i, 1) Like "*" & "." & "*" Then
Range(Cells(i - 1, 1), Cells(i - 1, 1)).Select
Selection.Copy

[Code] ........

Wildcards Not Working In Lookup

Dec 4, 2007

When I use a lookup to look for "*"&A1&"*" where A1 contains "AB" I get a value not available error despite the fact that in the postcode table there are loads of postcodes beginning with "AB...". Is it the multiple entries of "AB" in the lookup table that will be messing this search up?

Find/replace And Wildcards

Jan 17, 2008

I have about 80 cells in a row with a varient of this in it:

=VLOOKUP($C2,LookupData!$B$494:$G$699,6,FALSE)

The strings on the LookupData sheet change to look for different things, but

I want to modify to this:

=(.01*VLOOKUP($C2,LookupData!$B$494:$G$699,6,FALSE))*$F2

I can locate all the cells in question using EDIT>REPLACE,

FindWhat=VLOOKUP(*,*,*,*)

But when I put this
=(0.01*VLOOKUP(*,*,*,*))*$F2
in the ReplaceWith box, and try to replace, I get an error message saying the formula contains an error.

Once I figure this out, I'm filling down about 60000 rows, so I'd like to get it right the first time.

Advanced Filter With Wildcards

Oct 28, 2008

I have a worksheet that conatins multiple columns that are populated from a sql query.One column is a parts list.This has 1705 rows.

I have another worksheet that contains a list of parts in one column.This list is varying in row length.

I want to be able to produce a list that only contains matching data , including () around parts and if not too difficult an indication of data that is not in first list but is in second list.

When I do an advanced filter using the second list as the criteria i am not recieving all of the data from the filter , ie in the first list there is parts in (1234XYZ ) but in the second list the part is 1234XYZ , this part is not being resulted in the advanced filter unless I put brackets around the part in the second list . There is no way of knowing which part is in brackets in the first list.

Match With Wildcards In An Array

Jan 16, 2009

I matching up some ip numbers against some ip ranges and I'm finding I can only use the wildcards in the first argument and not the second array argument. Is that the case? Here's my files:

156.140.216.202

IP_Range
141.188.???.??? =match(A1,IP_List!A:A,0) works

I really need the first case to work (looking up an ip in the ip range). Is there a way to do this?

Use Of Wildcards & Exceptions In A Lookup

Dec 15, 2009

I have a workbook (Data) that I am entering "job title" into column G. Based on key words in the job title I am then manually entering "level" into Column V.

I have created a worksheet (Level Matrix) that has the following

Column A = Job title
Column B - Level
Column C = Exceptions

What I have in column A are the key words - as an example *Director* (wildcard Director Wildcard); in column B is the word Director

What I want the system to do is look for the word DIRECTOR anyplace in the job title entered into Column G of the data worksheet (hence why I have the title between wildcards. IF it finds it then I want to add the level automatically (from Column B of the Level Matrix worksheet).

However if the compare finds any of the words in the title that match any of the words in the Exceptions Column (Column C of the Level Matrix) then I DO NOT WANT To autoload the Director level- it would load DNA. As an example- an Art Director would not load "Director" becasue the word "art" is one of the words in the exceptions column of the Level Matrix.

Wildcards In Conditional Formatting

I have discovered that I can use a wildcard in a function such as =COUNTIF(B3:H14,"L*"). This will count all cells in the range that start with "L". However, I can't get it to work with conditional formatting. Is that correct? I am using Office 2000.

Create String With Wildcards

Jun 6, 2008

I have two questions. Below is a code snippet that demonstrates what I'm trying to achieve.

Const D_WIL_SearchString As String = "[HTML ON]*<a title=""*"" target=""blank""href=""*"">*</a>*[HTML OFF]"

If D_Info(i).WIL Like D_WIL_SearchString ThenDo AElseDo BEnd If

The double quotes ("") are supposed to represent a single double quote within C_WIL_SearchString.
The asterisks are supposed to represent any characters of any length.
All other characters (except for the initial double quotes (")) should be present within the string D_Info(i).WIL

I'm having issues ensuring that this code works correctly though, as it does not appear to search for the string that I'd like it to.

As a second question, I would like to know if there is a way of ensuring the asterisks (or another similar character) only allow whitespace? (i.e. spaces and new lines)

Worksheet Change Event Triggered By Formula Change?

Dec 6, 2011

Basically the situation I have is Sheet2 has many references to cells in Sheet1. Sheet2 is for all intents and purposes a kind of nicely formatted report form, and Sheet1 is the input form.

My ultimate goal is to automatically resize row heights on Sheet2 when cell contents change on Sheet2.

Using a worksheet_change event isn't working I presume because it doesn't see the formula output change as a worksheet change, the worksheet_change is firing only when the input is changed in Sheet1.

how can I capture these formula output changes on Sheet2 (triggered from input on Sheet1) OR is there a way of making a particular sheets rows always adjust in height to best fit?

MAXIF And MINIF Functions With Wildcards

Jul 16, 2009

I have a list of bank transactions in a spreadsheet

for example....

1/7/09 Sainsburys Petrol 34856385
4/7/09 Paypal 92017465
6/7/09 Sainsburys S/Market 38264059
8/7/09 Halfords 93862830
11/7/09 Sainsburys S/Market 34957372
13/7/09 Paypal 92037454
14/7/09 Barclays BCC 173256

and wish to use formulae similar to MAXIF and MINIF to find the last date and the first date of Paypal transactions (for example) if I have just the word "Paypal" in cell D1

I've tried
=SUMPRODUCT(MAX(($B$1:$B$7=$D$1)*$A$1:$A$7))

but obviously this is looking for exact match of "Paypal"

I have successfully used a wildcard in SUMIF functions elsewhere...

eg, $D$1 & "*"

but for some reason
=SUMPRODUCT(MAX(($B$1:$B$7=$D$1 & "*")*$A$1:$A$7))
does not work

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Wildcards With COUNTIF On Date Cells?

Mar 6, 2012

I am trying to count the number of time the 15th and the 28th of the month show up in Column A. Column A is in date format but not all cells have a date. In this example I am only looking for the 15th but in the end I want the combined count of both.

This formula gives me a count of 1
=(COUNTIF(TimeSheets!A1:A119,"3/15/2012"))
These return 0
=(COUNTIF(TimeSheets!A1:A119,"*15*"))
=(COUNTIF(TimeSheets!A1:A119,"*/15/*"))
Or any other combination of wildcards with * or ?

Maybe there is something other than COUNTIF I can use.

starting from 1
=COUNTIF($C15:$C66,"*"&1&"*")+COUNTIF($C15:$C66,"1")
ending at 50
=COUNTIF($C15:$C66,"*"&50&"*")+COUNTIF($C15:$C66,"50")

2 Criteria Sumif Or Sumproduct With Wildcards

Mar 27, 2009

-I have 3 relevant columns, A, B and C with 999 rows
-Column A is a status indicator "Yes" or "No" are the only options
-Coumn B a list of vendor names, which requires the wildcard example:"*Verizon*"
-Column C is the data range that needs to be summed

Right now i have this:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(A2:A999="No"),--(B2:B999="*VERIZON*"),C2:C999)

But, it seems sumproduct does not allow wildcard matches within it's "--" arrays. I am willing to try something else if possible, but I lack the excel knowledge to answer this myself.
