Comparing A List Of Words Within A Range

May 1, 2006

I've got a list in "column A" of around 6000 lines which contains key words which I want to extract to "Column b" if It matches but it can match on more than one word .

e.g

List
Six Nations Ireland v England
FA cup Semi Final Chelsea v Liverpool @ Old Trafford

Criteria Sample
Ireland
England
Chelsea
Liverpool

Ideally I would like to extract the first Town/Country as this is where the event is held unless the @ symbol is used then it's the last Toen/Country as in the FA cup example.

Auto-calculate 2 Column That Contains Numbers And Words Words

Jul 16, 2009

I've been using conventional method to do this and it's time consuming. I would like to total up 2 column. A multiply B to be exact. Below are some examples:

Table 1 - Before totaling up:

Quantity
Product
5
2 x Button A White
3
4 x Button B Pink
4
5 x Ribbon A Black
2
3 x Thread A White
6
2 x Cloth A Blue

Table 2 - After totaling up:

Quantity
Product
10
Button A White
12
Button B Pink
20
Ribbon A Black
6
Thread A White
12
Cloth A Blue

I need to have the sum of the "Quantity" multiply "Product". Or in short A x B.
And the end result need to have the number and "x" sign removed while keeping on the the products names. (2 x ) Take note it's "number" space "symbol" space.

Sort By No Of Words Macro

Jun 3, 2007

I am look for a macro that can look through a range of cells within a sheet and sorts that range of cells by word count.

I have 1 macro that is excellent which sorts by character count.

If possible, if this macro can be duplicated exactly the same, but to sort by Word count and not character count.

As a note the range of cells are always in a sheet labelled " AllKWs"
Always start from Cell A3 running down.
And the phrases could be anything like "car to rent in london"

As to the macro I have already for character count, it is this kindly written by VOGII

Sub NoOfCharacters()
Dim lastrow As Long, TotP, TotC, AvC
lastrow = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
If lastrow < 4 Then
MsgBox "Nothing to sort!"
Exit Sub
End If

Find Words Starting In - Macro

Nov 10, 2007

I would love to be able to click on an assigned button in a new sheet, and a pop box appears.

Then I can type in a word, click find, and the macro will go through my whole list of keyword phrases and find all the words STARTING with the word chosen in the pop up box.

Yes, I could just sort from a-z, find the word, then copy and paste etc.
But I work with large lists sometimes, and its just so much easier to type the word, click find and the macro returns the list of just the phrases with the starting word I've chosen

As a note. I did put a post up a while ago which a coder called Jindon solved which works perfectly. (A great job by the grand master)
This macro finds the words ending with.
So, what I would really like is exactly the same macro, but it finds words at the start of a phrases not the end of a phrase.
I'll post Jindon's macro now

Sub Find_Words_Ending_In()
Dim sTime As Single, res As String, msg As String, x As Range
Range("c3:c" & Rows.Count).ClearContents
res = InputBox("Enter word to find")
If res = "" Then Exit Sub
sTime = Timer
On Error Resume Next................

Find Words - Deleting The Words - And Deleting Some Info After The Words.

Jun 23, 2006

I am trying to find certain words in a column and delete the word and characters following. For example, Say I have a column of info as seen below. This is a test of me. I am just experimenting with this stuff. Deleted (6/15/01) Let me know what you think. I am not sure about it all, but I guess I will figure it out. riviledge1 (01/05/06) Now let's see what happens when I try to test it.

I want to find all the "Priviledge1 (01/05/06)" and replace with nothing. Please note, the date will change with each record, so I need to figure out how to tell Excel to find "Priviledge1", delete it and the date behind it. So I want to delete "Priviledge1" and the next 11 characters including the space.

How To Turn Abbreviated Words Into Full Words

Feb 4, 2013

On to the topic, I have all the US and Canadian states abbreviated (CO = Colorado, etc.) and was wondering if there is a way to make all of them convert to their respective names in one fell swoop instead of writing it in for each one, one at a time. Something along the lines where I can make, CO = Colorado, TX = Texas and then hit enter and all of the abbreviations would convert. Some kind of command.

Combining List Of Words Into New Words, Conjugation

Feb 15, 2007

I have 4-5 separate lists of words/letters and I would like to combine them in a certain order but creating all possible combinations resulting a new word. It's like a conjugation tool for verbs. For example if List 1 = be/el/ki/meg; List 2= m List3=e/é; List4= gy/" "; List 5=" "/ek/sz/nnek So the output has to be (if the order is List1+List2+List3+List4+List5)= bemegy/bemegyek/bemegysz/bemesz/bemész/elmegy/elmennek/ ..... and all possible combinations.

Preferentially I would like to automate it in a way that it straight outputs into MS Access. Also can it be automated that it reads the list from a file (database)?
(Also can it recognize the word by letters? Because the basic word that I would load the program= List2+List3+List4)

Macro To Create New Column From Common Words

Jun 4, 2013

I have a spreadsheet with approx 7000 rows, many of which contain the same item but with flavors and other variations on the end. An example would be:

VB:
A B
10142 6kg of whey bundle With Free protein shaker-Banana
10143 6kg of whey bundle With Free protein shaker-Chocolate
10144 6kg of whey bundle With Free protein shaker-Strawberry
10145 6kg of whey bundle With Free protein shaker-Unflavoured
10010 **Bodybuilding Warehouse Premium Whey Probiotic - 2.2kg
10011 **Bodybuilding Warehouse Premium Whey Probiotic - 2.2kg + FREE Shaker

Would it be possible To create a New column (column C) which would display all common words from row b into the New column Like below?

A B C
10142 6kg of whey bundle With Free protein shaker-Banana 6kg of whey bundle With Free protein shaker
10143 6kg of whey bundle With Free protein shaker-Chocolate 6kg of whey bundle With Free protein shaker
10144 6kg of whey bundle With Free protein shaker-Strawberry 6kg of whey bundle With Free protein shaker

[Code] ....

I've attached a larger sample of our list to get a better idea of different variations that are on the spreadsheet.

I think what we need is something similar to this thread[URL] .....
