I've got an Excel document with over 323 entries and I need to search the data to find where ever a certain keyword is mentioned and copy the entire row into a separate sheet within the same workbook. However, I have a list of around 323 keywords and there is AND condition as well.so doing this using Ctrl+F would take some time.
The data is in Sheet "Training Dataset" and the particular column that needs to be searched is Column "A" . "Training Dataset" is the sheet where I would like the found results to be copied to in the column B and C. The list of Keywords that need to be searched for are located in Sheet "Keywords" , starting from Cell C and D.

Code / macro that would automatically search a word doc for keywords and export every instance of that keyword into column A of a spreadsheet, the first three or four words prior to that keywords into column B, and the entire sentence where the keywords is found into column C?
I often pull hundreds of pages of text from a program that exports into Word and have to look through the pages to find every instance where a point is referenced by geolocation. Then I have to filter through that data to determine which of the points I found are truly important before I save it all to a csv or xls and feed it into mapping software.
If I had a code / macro that did the search and export automatically, it would save hours of work.

I am looking to write a macro that will search for keywords on a sheet, on a workbook at a specific path, and would like some help getting this macro started...
It would get run from "WorkbookA", and would look at "WorkbookB" (wherever it is) and find the cell containing the keyword, where the cell value would be the output. I would really prefer that it did not open Workbook B while this macro is run, if thats possible.

I am trying to set up a keyword search where someone can type a word in D8 and the number of books with that word in its title will be returned.
I have managed to get the following sum to work if I put the exact title in the search however I would like it to be possible for a partial search.
=SUMPRODUCT(--('Books List'!G2:G1166=D8))

I am trying to find code that locates a workbook (file) in a specific directory, based on a keyword and stores the workbook location in a string to be opened later.
For example, find a workbook containing the word "ancaster" in it's file name (actual file name is "ancaster_summary_2009") in file path:
"C:My Documents" and store the filename and path in a string called "ancasterBook"

I am trying to create my own budgeting tool. I have most of the tracker set up but I hit a stumbling block. I downloaded transations from Bank of America as a CSV file into excel. I want to categorize these transactions.
I created a keyword list that has words like "Starbucks" "Exxon" etc. Each of these keywords is then listed next to a category like "food" and "gas". So I want a formula that will compare the transactions to my keyword list and return the category type. Here is an example transaction:
CHECKCARD 0256 STARBUCKS USA 00029801 GAINESVILLE VA
I have a keyword "Starbucks" in f2 and "food" in g2.

I need to conduct keyword searches in excel and color the keywords a different color without changing the font color of the entire cell. now, i found some code from another thread that does this, but i cant seem to get it to work with more than 2 keywords. i need fine-tuning the provided code to do what i need it to do.

the VBA code i used was this:
[Code].....
I was playing around with the example, the Cat_Mouse.xlsm, and when i modified the 'myList' and 'myColor' arrays, it does not work.
Cat_Mouse.xlsm
For example, I modified the code to add the word bat:
[Code] .....
When i run the macros, the word "Bat" does not become colored red. interestingly enough, when i substitute the word "bat" for the word "hat" in the "myLIST array, the word "hat" does change to the red font.
I am looking to use this code to address keywords in my excel file by coloring all key words red and i have more than 10 key words.

I've been tackling this data capture/paste issue for a week or so. I found the string below which does provide a good foundation for my challenge. But, my basic level of understanding macros limits my modifications to meet my needs.
[URL] ......
I have 20 worksheets in my master file corresponding to Excel files individual associates will update weekly. After the associates have updated their individual files for the week, I want to capture the data entered and paste values into a master file containing a worksheet for each associate (sharing the same name as the individual associate file). All of these files are housed on team SharePoint sites.
I need a macro to perform several steps after clicking a "Run Update" macro button in the master file:
Open individual associate fileIn master file, search for each Initiative listed in column B (starting cell B3) in the individual associate file (in column B starting at cell B11)If Initiative is found in individual associate file, copy adjacent data in columns D:J for the respective rowIn master file, paste values to the corresponding Initiative row for the corresponding week's worth of dataIf Initiative is not found in the individual associate file, move to the next Initiative listed in the master fileRepeat these steps for each individual associate file
Linking would be the easiest way to accomplish this if I wanted to have a multitude of weekly individual files for the associates. However, I'd rather each associate have one file for them to update (basically overwriting their previous week's entries).
I need to ensure the paste values corresponds to the appropriate day of the week. In simpler terms, if the date in the individual associate file in cell D9 reads Oct 1, 2012, the data captured from that row needs to be pasted to the corresponding row/column in the master file that reads the same date.

In the attached file, I am trying to lookup what vendor is assigned to a part, and enter the vendor number in column J, K or L, depending on the number that is assigned.
For example, the top part number, RAD001, has a 2 in column N, indicating vendor # 015354 is the Alternate vendor # 1. It has a 1 in column V, indicating 034180 is the Primary Vendor, and it has a 3 in column Z, to indicate that 015229 is the Alternate Vendor # 2.
What formula would I need to put in cell J2 so that if a 1 is found in row 2 it will return the value 1 position left of where the 1 is found? I will then put a similar formula in columns K and L to return the vendor number if a 2 or a 3 is found.
The end result will be that for each part number you will be able to see what vendor is primary, alternat 1 and alternate 2. I want to make this a formula because the actual sheet will be thousands of part numbers long, and I will need it to update the vendor information if the primary vendor is changed.

I'm attaching a spreadsheet in order for you to understand my question, and I will explain it based on that, ok? I apologize in advance for english mistakes, since it's not my 1st language. I want to search the salary value in column B and, in Column C, I need the job title to be posted based on what is written in Column J.
The table h2:i8 contains the maximum salary a person on that position can earn. So when you look the salary on column B, it should seach in column H and compare to the maximum value, and return the description on Column I that corresponds to that salary range. So if somebody earns 6500, it should be qualified as a supervisor, because its salary maximum is 7100. I have searched the forum here and found similar problems, with suggestions to use vlooup and Index. But I just can not figure it out.

I have a formula which I took from another post to return a particular value in a specified cell as follows;
=INDEX(A1:E9,M3+MIN(IF(A1:E9=K3,ROW(A1:E9)-3)),N3+MIN(IF(A1:E9=K3,COLUMN(A1:E9)-1)))
However I don't understand what the -3 and -1 does and I believe it is these entries that are causing the error.

I'm looking for a Formula in order to retrieve all addresses of all matches equal to the search criteria located in cell: E2
The results are hand-typed in col. G
This is a case of a TWO-DIMENSIONAL "Arbitrary Lookup" Arbitrary.
The range A1:C10 was named: TBL and the formula should refer to TBL as it can be dynamic in size.
PS: can anybody tell me why I don't get any E-Mails when an answer is posted?

If I have a 'key' value in a cell in one sheet, i want to use that value to find the cell in another sheet containing the 'key' and return the row number of the cell, if more than one value then I would like to be able to loop through all the rows containing that 'key' value returning the row number of each hit, kind of a programmatic version of vlookup?

I am trying to search a range for all of the nonblank cells, when I find one, return the column header and the value in that column. Vlookup won't work on this. It will only return a specified column.
Employee performance

12947 23 | | 19
12948 32 | | 20
12948 |17 | 52
What I am trying to do is create a communication sheet. Employee ID 12947, your performance in area one= ______, in area two = ______ and so on.

I'm using a Textbox macro to search my database for a specific date, and return the company name of all entrys for that date, into a ListBox.
Now this is the only way I'm prepared to look at doing, and I have managed to do it...... partially - as stupid as it sounds, I cant get multiple results to list in the ListBox itself, and for the life in me I cant find out how to do it.
Also, once the options have been brought back into the ListBox, I then need code which will then populate further locked TextBox's which the rest of the company info, when selected from the ListBox.
I know its asking alot (or maybe not) but I believe, (unless ive done it a really awkward way, I'm not too far away, I just dont know the code to enter, to be able to do it.
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim Nullstring
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
If TextBox1.Value = "" Or Nullstring Then
MsgBox "Please enter a date to search for"
GoTo error1:
End If.....................................
