VBA - Find Cell Containing Variable - First Result Above Active Cell?

Dec 26, 2012

Need to find the first cell above the active cell containing any sort of variable (integer, string value, cell fill colour, named range, etc...).

For example, a column contains multiple integer values between 1 and 10. I would like the macro to "locate" a specified value, say 3. Ideally the macro will select the first cell matching this criteria, located above the active cell. Once located, the resulting cell will be added to a range to be copy-pasted to a new worksheet.

I am planning to use this code for various applications in a workbook I am creating. At present the code will be used to locate string values, and cell fill colours. It is also likely this will extend to other types of variables in the future.

I've found information relating to the find function, but nothing specifically to find the first result above the active cell.

Move To A Cell Depending On Variable Active Cell

Jul 23, 2013

So, I just started checking Excel Macros. I'm working on a quite large data base where I need to search for a given part number and then move N columns to the right and display the text inside that cell on a message box.

Here's what I got 'til now:

Cells.Find(What:="M0016216", After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt _
:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:= _
False, SearchFormat:=False).Activate

Find Name Of Column Active Cell Is In

Jul 7, 2006

I have a code which looks at sheet2, useing a date value, and returns the Vent value and the Tanker value to sheet1. Because of the file size I have pasted a small section of Sheet2 in the hopes you can see what I am doing. As can be seen my code is not going to work with Offset as soon as the Data fills further down the sheet(every 2 weeks). I need a way to reference the active cells column name (it is a named range) or header name. Both are the same. That is the header name is the same as the name of the range. there is a way to perhaps find the first cell of the column,which I guess would work,but have reached a stale mate with what I've tried so far.

Vent 01Vent 02Vent 03Vent 04
Date3/06/063/06/06n1/06/06
Tanker8248824617606

Private Sub DueCommandButton_Click()
Dim strRecordID As Range
Dim rngData As Range
Dim Vents2 As Range, Tanker_Result As Range
Dim wsheet1 As Worksheet, wsheet2 As Worksheet
Dim Column_Name As Range
Dim ActiveCell As Range
Set wsheet1 = Worksheets("Sheet1")

Find Active Cell Value On Another Sheet

May 23, 2007

I am having problems getting a VBA search function to work... this is the code I am currently using with very little success:

Sub FindApp()

Selection.Copy
Sheets("Applications").Select
Cells.Find(What:="ADT32109", After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
MatchCase:=False).Activate

End Sub

What I am trying to achieve is to copy the contents of the active cell in the first sheet and find it within another sheet but I am unable to get the What:= section of the code to take the value of the copied cell.

The problem is put like this: I have to write a ID (for DVD archiving) in a column but testing that generated value is unique in entire workbook (I have multiple sheets, organized by movie genre). I can use find method and testing for value <> Nothing but it always said that the value is present (the current cell value); there is any method to omit selected cell value? I think "After:=" parameter can do this but I don't figure out how to handle with it...

Excel 2003 :: Highlight Cell On Same Row As Active.cell Whenever Active.cell Changes

Dec 10, 2012

whenever the active cell is within a given range, highlight the cell on the same row in column S (by changing its interior colour). This should occur each time the active cell is changed, whether by cursor keys or mouse. The effect would be similar to the row and column highlights at left and top of the worksheet.

This action should be restricted to one sheet in the workbook.

It's for Excel 2003.

Offset With Automatically Find Active Cell With VLookup

Jul 30, 2012

I have 2 columns of data

column A = weeks (A2:A50) i.e. P1W1, P1W2, P1W3....P12W4 etc

Essentially my criteria is "looking for last week and give me headcount" i.e. my lookup criteria is P7W5 ....however if P7W5 has no data, i want the lookup to go up or offset to the row above (it may be one to 4 rows above)....

Find Cell Address Of VLOOKUP Result And Replace With New Value

Jun 21, 2013

I am using VLOOKUP to find the size of a cam to be installed in a tablet press, based on the product code it will be running.

The array has two columns: (W) Product Code, (X) Cam Size.

Array: W4:X437

The user selects the Product Code from a drop-down list in cell E5.

The resulting Cam Size is displayed in cell E7. The VLOOKUP works fine.

=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(E5,W4:X437,2,FALSE),"")

Occasionally, the cam size has to be updated. The user would then select a new cam size from a drop-down list in cell E9.

I have a "Update Cam Size" command button.

What I need to happen is for the value in E9 to replace the value in the array that is displayed in E7. Obviously, I have to know the location of the cell in the array, but I can't figure that part out. I've tried ADDRESS and MATCH functions, but it comes back with "#N/A" Value not available error.

=ADDRESS(MATCH(E7,W4:X437,0),2)

Find Cell Format And Save As VB Variable

Oct 4, 2008

I am still a novice in you standards, but have run into a problem and hoping you all will have some insight for me.

I have a workbook that I am parsing data from the first sheet and putting the data onto the second sheet. Before I place the values in I want to format the cells with boarders, colors, alignment, and in some cases validation (but I can worry about the validation later).

Currently what I am doing is using a 3rd page that has a group of cells that have the formats I want in place before I start. The code will then parse the data and when it finds the data I need go to sheet 3 and grab a range of cells and paste those cells to sheet 2 and then write the data over those cells. This allows me to format the document as I create it.

The problem is that I am going through 25k of lines and on average this function is running 40+ minutes. If I run the same script with out the formatting it only takes at most 2 minutes.

So on to the question.

Is there a way that I can start of my script by grabbing all the format information before I parse the data and save it as a variable? Then instead of doing a copy of the format it would just apply the formatting that is saved already. I would think this would be much faster of a process.

Macro To Find Variable User Defined Cell In Worksheet

Nov 7, 2013

I have a worksheet named "ABC". In row 4 of this worksheet, each cell from G to BG is numbered from 1 onwards and each cell has a unique number. I would like to have a macro ask the user through a pop-up question box which column data should be calculated in. For example, if the user types "1" in the question box, the macro will go to column G which has "1" in cell G4 and will select G5 the cell just below the column the user defined and calculate the formula.

VLOOKUP Formula Dragdown Copies Previous Cell Result Instead Of Unique Result

Jun 10, 2014

When I drag my VLOOKUP formula down a column in Excel 2010, the return value copies the formula result from the original VLOOKUP formula result. For example, if the first VLOOKUP returns a value of 0.5, I expect to see 0.5 or 1 in the cell below that one. However, I get 0.5 which is not the expected result for the cell below.

When, I click the fx on the cells below, the expected return values appear in the formula result. After I click OK, the expected formula results updates and now appears in the cell.

I'm not sure what is causing this issue. My computer was updated recently from an old machine to a new one. I have never experienced this issue before.

Find Method To Search For The Active And Non Active Values

Jul 14, 2009

I have a range of amounts in Sheet 1 from F7:Q13 and im using the find method to search for the active and non active values in the cell. Which means that if there's a value in the cell it will transfer the value in Sheet 2, if nothing is found in the cell the cells in Sheet 2 will return as nothing or null.

I think the problem lies on the FindWhat variable. Im getting a compiled error which im not sure what is it.

I've attached the spreadsheet so you get a better idea of the problem that i encountered.

The active cell it finds will always change, i know I need something to code the active cell back but I don't know what it should be.
