VBA: Searching For Specfic Terms

Jan 28, 2010

I'm writing a macro to search for letters A to Z in one spreadsheet, and copy it's associated data into another spreadsheet where A to Z already exist.

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

That works fine. It find's "A", then the rest of the macro moves to the right and copies the data needed:

ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Range("A1").Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlToRight)).Select
Selection.Copy

THEN it goes to the NEW spreadsheet (where A to Z are already labeled) and pastes into the corresponding area. Thus:

Windows("The Other Sheet.xls").Activate
Cells.Find(What:="A", After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False).Activate

ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Range("A1").Select

Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False

This works perfectly.

However:

What if, one day, "A" does not exist in the source data? If say, the data started at "B", because there were no results for "A". Currently, the macro will stop working if it attempts to search for a value that doesnt exist.

How do I make it, for example, Search for "A", find that "A" doesnt exist, then skip to Searching for "B", and then "C" and so on?

Count Specfic Word In Range

Aug 20, 2008

I have a spreadsheet I am working on which lists a bunch of equipment. In column A I have a list of the equipment, and in column B I have a list either saying the equipment is Free or the name of who is borrowing it.

I would like to know how to calculate the total amount of 'Free' values in Column B and display the number of occurances in a cell somewhere so I anyone who opens the document can see that there are 5 Items free, and hopefully it auto-calculates each time a value is changed in Column B from Free to who ever is borrowing that item.

VBA Code To Print To Specfic Printer

Apr 22, 2009

I have a macro that prints out several worksheets. My problem is that I want to print these worksheets to a specific color printer. There are many different users and most of them will have a black-and-white printer setup as their default. I want to be able to print using the ip address of the color printer.

I have tried setting the active printer using:

Application.ActivePrinter = "\WP010110.117.3.36"

with little luck... This seems like such a simple thing! I have done a lot of research and can't find a good solution although I have seen the question raised several times!

Ozgrid has been a great source of information and solutions in the past. Please help again!

Pull Specfic Data Only From Database

Aug 4, 2009

check out the attached workbook.

I have 3 companies, A, B, and C, split by worksheet.

What i'm trying to do is consolidate all the data on 1 sheet, so it auto populates if new lines are added in the individual company worksheets.

So if a new line of data is added on the Company A worksheet, it will automatically be added in the Overall consolidated worksheet showing everything (so say I have 5 rows of data in each workshet, I want all 15 rows showing in the consolidated), BUT only if it has the following criteria:

That its got some data in Either the 'CF Currency or Other Currency or Amount' columns. If it fulfills any of that criteria, the new line will be added in the consolidated worksheet.

Copy Rows, Meeting Criteria, From Multiple Worksheets & Append To Summary Sheet - This thread has been made by a guy with the same problem as me and the solution for it works for him, but I cannot make it work for mine. I'd guess it would need small modifications but I don't know coding at all.

Copying Specfic Data From A Main Worksheet To Several Breakdown Sheets.

Oct 21, 2009

I'm looking for a solution for my worksheet. I've got a main tab in which contains deposit data, I need to take the raw data format it and break it down into 7 different tabs. Each week a report is exported and then one for the actual month containing all the data. I’m currently manually recording some formatting macros because I haven’t learned to write my own yet. The number of columns in this report is always constant but the rows vary depending on the number of deposits. I have 7 tabs where the data from the main sheet will be broken down in. In my spread sheet I have the following headings. (A1)Date, (A2)Batch, (A3)Source (A4)Control (A5)Total Batch (A6)Total Variance

The information I would use to copy the rows to other sheets is going to be based on (A2).

Anything that starts with U65 would go into the U-65 tab.
1,7 or 8 would go to the lockbox tab.
2 or 5 = IN-HOUSE
3 = WIRES
4 = DATA OCEAN
Eh, WH, or WE = ACH

Finally the variance tab will contain any rows which have a number other than 0 Positive or Negative. My biggest problem is that I never know how many rows the data will have so when I recorded my macro I Started dragging my formats to about row 200. It could one day surpass this number so If I had a choice id set it to row 1,000.

Cumulative Sum (convert Into Terms Is SIGMA)

Dec 31, 2008

I have, for my formula, 2 constant values a and x, I then also have a variable, n. The formula I'm trying to convert into excel terms is
SIGMA (with respect from 1 upto n) ((1-x)^(1-n) * x)*a. Unfortunatly thats not drastically inteligable so i've attached a picture file that should explain it in more understandable terms. Now the problem im having is, sigma is a cummulative funtion, which in this example is relative to the variable n, firstly I don't know what formulas I would have to use in order to get a sigma/summination function, and secondly I am uncertain of how to link it to a variable range.

Matching Dictionary Terms With Definitions

Mar 9, 2009

I have created a dictionary with technical terminology. It is in excel format with about 10,000 entries. The format of my dictionary ("Sheet1") is in three columns:

<vocabulary term> <pronunciation> <definition>

Now, I want to create vocabulary lists using my dictionary. The newly typed up vocabulary list (which only has the term, but not pronunciation or definition), will be copy and pasted into "Sheet2".

The "Sheet2" typed up vocabulary list is in the format:

<vocabulary term 1>
<vocabulary term 2>
etc...

I want to run a macro or script to dictionary terms (including pronunciation and definition) from "Sheet1" and put them into my vocabulary list "Sheet2".

The desired output list in "Sheet2" is: .....

Summarize Any Day Of The Year In Numerical Terms

May 23, 2007

I would like to create a code that would summarize any day of the year in numerical terms.

The formula for coding "days" is as follows:

Coding Month value + current day

Where "coding month" was a combination of the year and month.

The year can be summarized as a fixed value:

2007 yr = 4
2008 = 5
2009 = 6

Ignore anything prior to 2007 and anything after 2009.

The month is simply a SINGLE digit to represent the month and where
January=1, feb=2, march=3......Sept=9. Once you hit October, you have to reduce the values to a single digit, so October = 10 = 1+0=1, November =11=1+1 =2, December = 12 = 1+2=3

Therefore, May 2007 = 4 ( 2007 ) + 5 = 9
June 2007 = 4 + 6 = 10 = 1+0 = 1


Now, comes the addition of the individual day to the mix. If you wanted to find the value for May 23, 2007

You know that May 2007 is 5+4 = 9 so adding the 23rd day is 2+3=5
therefore 9 + 5 = 14. Right?

Not really...

Before reducing this final number down further, there are some double digit numbers that DO NOT get reduced further. They are:

a. 13,14,16,19
b. 11,22,33,44,55,66,77,88,99

These numbers have to be left as is. So, today, May 23, 2007 would be left as a "14"

Two more examples:

May 24, 2007 = 5+4+ 24 = 5+4+2+4 = 15 = 6
July 17, 2007 = 7 + 4 + 17 = 7+4+1+7 = 19 = left as 19

Final thought - It would be helpful, though not necessary, to have a notation besides these double digits. If series "a" could have a "KD" next to it and series "b" could have a "MN" next to it,

Seeking Formula To Separate Cells That Contain Specific Terms?

Mar 18, 2014

I have thousands of data entries (each in their own row, all in one column) and need to separate the basic info. In the example below, say you want to isolate the Town names by entering a formula that can produce a TRUE or FALSE result. Is there a way to use the FIND function and a pool of terms to isolate cells that contain excess data (i.e.- produce a FALSE result for cells containing any words from a term pool like : "Police, Park, Power, Water, Community, Bakery, Grocery, Field, Garden, Post Office, School" etc... ) ?

Pic of sample spreadsheet with desired result:

A2 = Springfield
A3 = Springfield Police Department
A4 = Springfield Community College
A5 = Springfield Park Of Recreation
A6 = Des Moines
A7 = Des Moines Power & Water Company
A8 = Des Moines Sunrise Bakery
A9 = Des Moines Post Office
A10 = Des Moines Grocery Store
A11 = Lancaster
A12 = Lancaster Baseball Field
A13 = Lancaster Botanical Gardens

Change A Date To Its Equivalent In Terms Of Quarters System

Jan 23, 2009

I have the formula where i can change a date to its equivalent in terms of quarters system with a date:

=CHOOSE(MATCH(MONTH(A2),{1,4,7,10}),"Winter","Spring","Summer","Fall")&YEAR(A2)

This is a school year configuration.


ex.
A2 = 10/1/2005: with the formula up there it turns into Fall 2005
i want to be able to add any number of years and the formula will still come up with the quarters system

also i would like A2 to be stationary and create a list of quarters for each year i add on

ex.
A2= 10/1/2005 B2=Fall 2005
B3=Winter 2006
B3=Spring 2006
B5=Summer 2006
B6=Fall 2006
etc.

If this is all possible lastly I would like to negate summer quarters

Extracting Terms And Exponents Of A Text Poly Formula

Sep 18, 2009

1) This exercise would save me considerable time and would almost certainly eliminate the possibility of typing errors in preparing the input data file for another application.

2) My program requires each input multivariant equation to be specified as follows and in the same order:

--Number of Independent Variables, N (max 10)
--Number or Terms, M (max 20)
--Term 1: power of var 1
: power of var 2
: ..............
: power of var N
: coeff
--Term 2: power of var 1
: power of var 2
: ..............
: power of var N
: coeff
........................
--Term M: power of var 1
: power of var 2
: ..............
: power of var N
: coeff
3) It would be extremely helpful if I could type the equation (of up to 10 variables and up to 20 terms) in a cell on a w/s and automatically get the above particulars extracted and nicely tabulated in a column.

4) Simplified Example: (3 var & 4 terms).........................

Searching By Date

Mar 3, 2009

Have the following scenario I'm struggling with in Excel 07:

2 worksheets:

WS1, have a bunch of customer data. Relevant columns in this WS include customer number (unique value) and a column called "adjustment date", which is formatted as a date as the label name implies.

WS2 is a bunch of customer transactional data, with each row being a unique transaction. Relevant columns here include customer number (formatted same as in WS1) and transaction date.

Couple things to note: in WS2, each customer may have dozens of transactions. Right now, I have that WS sorted by transaction date in ascending order (so oldest to newest).

What I'm trying to do (unsuccessfully so far!) is build a formula in WS1 that says "on what date was the customer's first transaction after their adjustment date"?

I've tried constucting something using =index+match, but to no avail.
