VBA - How To Control Search And Replace To Only Be Valid For Defined Sheet
Apr 5, 2013
I import some text from a web page. The data is separated in rows and columns so it easily slip into cells in a nice row and column manner.
Now, I want to parse some names in one column (column A:A). The names do not reside in any other column. I want to change the content for those cells that is "Alpha Beta" into just "Beta", and I only want the replacing to be carried out on a specific sheet (named "Import").
I've recorded a VBA script and it look like this:
Cells.Replace What:="Alpha Beta", Replacement:="Beta", LookAt:=xlPart,
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False, ReplaceFormat:=False
But, when I try different setting for the range I get the same script, I mean, for when I try the search & replace with settings for both the whole workbook and for the current sheet.
How can I control the search & replace with VBA to only be valid for a defined sheet?

I am trying to capture with Worksheet Change a command bar action like paste but I am getting an error :

Do I need a library of sort in References ??

Dim oControl As CommandBarControl
For Each oControl In CommandBars("Cell").Controls
Debug.Print oControl.Caption
If oControl.Caption = "&Paste" Then
oControl.OnAction = "MyPaste"

I have a SAP application that outputs a field of data from a specific query. One column, the date, is produced in the format 18.02.2009. Is there any excel 'trickery' that can convert this into a standard british date format i.e. 18/02/2009 & then allow me to sort the entire data field by ascending date order?

I have values in row A and I have values in row C. I want to create a loop to look up xxx and replace it with the values consecutively in row C. Look at example for a better Idea. I found a way to find and replace, but I not sure how to use it with qoutes. I was thinking maybe I dont even need row A and just supply a list and excel could have the chunk of data in the code itself.

I have a formula like
'=vlookup(Test,A$2:B$10,2)' where "Test" is a defined name based on a formula to a data connection (PowerPivot).
I need a macro to do something like f9 on just "Test" everywhere "Test" exists or convert "Test" to something like "test".value with out affecting the rest of the Vlookup formula. In some areas I am also using index match combos.

I have over 16000 cells with different information in them, each cell is unique. There are parts of these cells that have similar information.
I am looking to search part of the cell, and replace the whole cell with my new description, so I can run pivot tables on it.

I have a macro that creates a new sheet and names it based off a cell value (date, MM-DD-YY), and copies a 'Template' sheet to it, values only. Every so often, two sheets need to be made with the same date. I need the right direction in creating an addition to the below code that will add an A, B, or C at the end of the sheet name if the name is already taken?

I have the following macro, which is assigned to ctrl+shift+h to allow users to make a list and to insert hyperlinks to other sheets that have more details than the list can show:
Code:
Sub linker()
Dim strDocument As String
Dim strSheet As String
Dim strAddress As String
Dim strLink As String
[Code] .......
I was surprised to see that even if the contents of the active cell is not a valid sheet name in the target document, the link is still inserted without error. If the link is subsequently clicked, the target document will open and an "invalid reference" error box will appear.
Is there any way to check whether the contents of the cell constitutes a valid sheet name in the target workbook at the point at which the hyperlink is created, without opening up the target document?

I have about 700 cells I want to interrogate. Within each cell the following text appears “Estimate – BOLB/02/1234 – Some more text here”. I want to search all the cells and delete the cell contents but leave the “BOLB/02/1234”.
The problem I have is that the string is different in each cell but the format is the same. It always starts with BOLB followed by /, followed by 2 numbers, followed by / followed by 4 numbers i.e. BOLB/**/****.

Rather than use Control-F to find the text in a cell, is there some VBA programming that could do the same and then go to the cell or cells containing the text input to be found? I tried recording the macro to find, but it would show up in the VB Editor because I had to close the find function down to then stop recording.

I have a rather large sheet with lots of embedded form control buttons, each one with a document link. Is there a function (no VBA) to search for a specific form control button in excel? for example: i want to find the form control button which is linked to the "application" document.

=IF(SEARCH($C$2,'705334-0707-0408'!C3)>0,ROWS($1:2),"")
Subsequent data selection also results in #VALUE...
=IF(ROWS($1:1)>COUNT($A$5:$A$1000),"",INDEX('705334-0707-0408'!B:B,SMALL($A$5:$A$1000,ROWS($1:1))+1))
In sheet one I have a list of bank transactions. I want to find all transactions matching a specific search string (in $C$2). $C$2 is compared with data in column B of sheet 705334-0707-0408.
How do I get a nul value in column A (=IF(SEARCH($C$2,'705334-0707-0408'!C3)>0,ROWS($1:2),"")). I've tried to compare the result to #VALUE, and tried NOT and a few other combinations, but can't get it to work.
I cant use the contents of a different column; there are only date, details and amount. None of date or amount influence, or are influenced by the details in column B.

My difficulty: I have an Excel 2007 DB xlsx Workbook file (mydb.xlsx) made up of several (8) Worksheets. I can't modify the content of this DB. For this reason I 've created another Workbook (MyGUI.xlsm) implementing a user interface for db querying.
The userform let the user making searches using the find method (criteria: "Text contains...") In the DB file there is one particular Sheet with thousands of entries. This makes the searchs too long (30 seconds). During this period the entire form is blocked.
My question: when the user realizes the search is too long I'd like to stop the current search
introducing for example a new button "stop current Search" to click it in these situations.

I want to create a user defined function to search a column of data for a part number.
If it exists I want to have a the UDf returna "fail" otherwise "pass"
Here is the code I was trying to use
Function firstpass(SN As String) As String
ws = Worksheets("Defects")
c = ""
With ws.Range("a1:a9999")
Set c = .Find(SN, LookIn:=xlValues, lookat:=xlWhole)
End With
If Not c Is Nothing Then
firstpass = "Pass"
Else
firstpass = "Fail"
End If
End Function
This function only returns a "#value" and I don't quite know how to troubleshoot it.

I have a Master work sheet consisting sale data of more than 400 Sales person for a period of 6 Months.
The Employee Codes are entered in column "F" starting from F6, F7, F8 and so on....
G5,H5, I5, J5, K5, L5 to GV5 has the product names.
G5,H5, I5, J5, K5, L5 to GV5 has the qty of product sold by that concern sales person.
Since each sales person's occurrence is 6 times in the master sheet, I would like to have a code to search each and every sales person by their employee ID through out the entire master sheet, sum each product they sold as per the product name and get it entered in their concern cells.

I have created a file which generates a file name from information entered in certain cells
Code:
Sub SaveAsExample() On Error GoTo Err1:
Dim FName As String
Dim FPath As String
FPath = "O:PHC BomsDropbox - Stage & Gate"
FName = Sheets("Control Sheet").Range("B1").Text & " " & Sheets("Control Sheet").Range("B2").Text
ThisWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=FPath & "" & FName
Err1:
Exit Sub
End Sub
Control sheet B1 = SG999
Control sheet B2 = Product Description
EG - SG999 Prod Description.xlsm
Now here's the problem -
Very occasionally some users may edit the Prod Description & then need to re-save
So i need to create some code which looks for an element of the current file name in a Directory (O:PHC BomsDropbox - Stage & Gate) EG "SG999" (Which could be 5 or 6 characters in length (if we go over 1000)
Delete this file, replaces it with the new file with the edited information.

I have numerous formulas that use a macro with an indirect cell reference, for example:
INDIRECT(macro(A21))
I am moving these formulas to a different workbook and I need them to still refer to items in the old sheet. I accomplish this by using this formula:
INDIRECT(CONCATENATE("OtherSheet.xls!",macro(A21)))
This works. However, I need to do a global search and replace for all of these formulas without deleting my indirect cell reference. I could replace
macro
with
CONCATENATE("OtherSheet.xls!",macro
but that would leave me short a ).
Is there a way to use a wildcard to accomplish this? It does not seem that replace
macro(*)
with
CONCATENATE("OtherSheet.xls!",macro(*))

I have a worksheet that I produced from optical character recognition, and there are a lot of funky characters that I need to get rid of. One is a line break or carraige return (I assume it's the same character that I could insert by entering ALT+ENTER). How do I search for this special character to replace it? How do I identify what that invisible character is?

In a cell(s) I have for example {text}dd%2BMore_Text}
what i want to do is search and replace the final }
so it should be {text}dd%2BMore_Text
the regular search and replace in excel removes all } which is not what i need.

I have a work problem where my spreadsheets have the following structure due to faulty optical character recognition:
Ringholm 8 G R hem.ag Bavik Postl 115 O Amtervik
Rinman K H B dir Johannebergsg 34 Goteborg S
Risberg L kass Mitandersfors Bogen
In some cases the letters in the beginning of the cells have been misread as a number (above S as 8), so I want to search and replace those numbers with the correct letter without changing the correct numbers at the end of the cells to letters too. Is there any way to write a search-and-replace code in VBA that will only implement the search-and-replace in (for example) the first five letter-spaces of the cell?

I have a sheet that I often have to edit and import into SQL database.
I have no control over the format of the sheet given to me and it seems that something has changed causing me the following problem.
When I try to import the Data it’s showing ten times as many items than are actually there.
The problem I think is in a text column. I’ve tested this by using an old column from a previous sheet and pasting this into the new sheet and I can import it ok.
What I seem to have is a rectangular box character but I’m not sure what it is.
I can copy and past it into Notepad as it is, but pasted into Word it seems to be a carriage Return.
So whether it’s an actual charter or not I’m not sure.
Are there any tools out there so I can hover over characters in Excel to see what it is! So at least I can be sure what I’m trying to Search and Replace?
