I have a list of titles that I would like to see if these titles appears in another cell.
Here is the example:
A1
Manager
Assistant Manager
Manager, II
VP
Vice President, Sales
Assistant
Associate
I would like to see if it appear in this cell, regardless where it is the exact text match
B1
Manager, Assistant, VP, Sales
So the result will be like: Screenshot_1.png
I am looking for a way, to search a cell that has a no more than 4 words sperated by a space, and if a match display it.
I had something like this:
IF(Search=LocationList,"true","False"
So the Locationlist is a list of locations that is brought from another sheet with this:
=Addresses!A3&" "&Addresses!B3
and i need to search the cells with in LocationList (about 4000 cells) for a match... is this possbile ?
I need a functionality in Excel, but I can't get it done. I want to search multiple titles on multiple words.
1. I have a list with titles (tab A)
2. I have a list with words (tab B)
Now I want to scan all titles on words that appear on tab B and return the value of the word.
Example:
Title (tab A - column A)
Return (tab A - column B)
Words (tab B)
BrandX Shampoo Big
Shampoo
Eau de Toilette
BrandX Nailcutter
Nailcutter
Nailcutter
BrandX Eau de Toilette
Eau de Toilette
Shampoo
So for row 1 the word "shampoo" is reconised in the title and returns this value. Same for the other rows. I need the functionality like the formula below, but then with more words (from a list). I don't want to work with "OR" because the list with word is about 200+ and will be more in future.
=IF(ISERROR(SEARCH("shampoo",A1)),"x","shampoo")
I have a worksheet with simple titles of books in a single colum, but want to create a user interface that is like a search engine to show titles.
Just a simple search window and search button. If I have a book named Mother Goose, and the user types in Mother, the search will show every title with that word in it. I have tried to do the advanced lookup I found here but I think I am not excel oriented enough to understand how to use it nor do I think it would do what I am looking for.
I have a spreadsheet where there are lines of different Wage Types but only certain combinations are needed. For example I have Pay Area 1234 which needs all wage types except those beginning with a 9.
To do this I have set up Sheet1 to look like this:
12341
12342
12343
12344
12345
12346
12347
12348
and not 12349 as I do not require this type.
The problem here is I need to add a wildcard to the end of these so it finds anything that starts with 12341 etc.
Sheet1 contains the personal details of employees and I have concatenated the Payroll Area and Wage type in column D.
Code:
Sub deleterows()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set MySheet = Sheets("data")
LR = MySheet.Cells(Rows.Count, "D").End(xlUp).Row
For i = LR To 2 Step -1

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(*))
picture this.
Cell A1 = xyz3
Cell B1 = 5
Cell C1 = xyz3-hgfe-56f
I need to do a vlookup on C1 in range A1:B1 that will return B1 if C1 contains the string in A1. I've tried using the TRUE variable in the vlookup formula which does not require an exact match. This works for about 80% of my data but is not 100% accurate. Of course I've got a long list of data ... not just the 3 cells.
I need to get rid of the questions marks in the text on my sheet, but am unable to get my VBA code to search for an actual question mark and not the wildcard. I'm using the replace function as follows:
wsReport. Cells = wsReport.Cells.Replace("?", "")
1. What's the trick to searching for wildcard characters?
2. Is there a slicker way to do this?
I'm trying to perform a search of over 15,000 entries using a wildcard. Sheet1 is a list of streets in the county where I live, and I would like to be able to type a part of the name that will return every instance of that name appearing.
I found a code which i have tried to adapt, but it is not working.
[Code] ....
The item being searched will be entered into TextBox1, and I'm guessing that the error I am receiving is in the .AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:=TextBox1"*" line of code. This is the original sample I found onlne:
[Code] .....
where they were only looking for the letters "GB".
i am having some difficulty modifing some existing code which is this: It will count all entries from G14 to G217 if *Ost* is in E14:E217

I would like to search for a certain pattern that appears in a cell. For example, I have certain cells that begin with a 7 digit project code (Ex: "1234567 - Project Red"). I was planning to use an IF inside a FOR loop and then do an action when I find the cell with the pattern. I thought I remember it being something like Format(########*) so that I have the wildcard on the end since there is more than just the numbers. how to make other patterns work such as Number-Letter-Number or Capital-Lowercase-Capital

I have a formula in column J that is the following:

See screenshot:
I need to replace "G542" in the formula above. For example, in cell J541 shown above, I need it to output "1996-1999|2000-2001" instead of "1996-2001" I need the output to include LEFT(G541,4)&"*"&RIGHT(G541,4)
I am building somewhat of a rudimentary search engine that looks for a name, address or unique identifier, using an Index Match formula that searches with a wild card:
=INDEX(Name,MATCH("*"&F3&"*",Name,0))
"Name": is the defined name for column C on a separate sheet.
F3: is "search field"
The current formula (above), only returns the first match. The source data is only 927 lines so not overly large. I would like to have an additional page that will show the potential results from the wildcard search via a formula. Therefore needing results; 2, 3, 4, 5 etc. from the Index Match. I have searched high and low for solutions but I have found none in regards to retrieving multiple results from a wildcard search, only on a specific term.

I work with several graphs in three Worksheets in a Spreadsheet.
I want to use text value 'Home Run', say, from Worksheet#1 CELL $A$5 into my Excel Graph Title;
text value 'Score' as Y-Axis titile;
text value 'Player Name' for X-Axis title.
Can it be done with Macro or VBS?
Attributes of Title are:
Font 14, BOLD
Times Roman
Automatic Resizing to sencond line if Title is long (but, less than 127 characters).
What would be a line of code that could delete rows below a current cell without using absolute row titles? For instance, I pick a random cell and I want it to delete the three below regardless of what cell I pick.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to use a "WildCard" in an Array Formula to both simplify and handle variations in several formulas.
My work sheet is used for Time Cards. I have a tab for each of the 52 weeks in the year and each tab is labeled "W1", "W2" for Week 1, Week 2, etc.
On my SUMMARY tab, I'm using an array formula that looks at cell "'SUMMARY'!D6" for a project number, and than searches through all of the Week Tabs for anyone that has charged time against that project.
The employee would enter the project number in D12:D35 of a given weeks tab with each row representing a different task for that week. In some cases they may have several rows for the same project number.
On the SUMMARY tab, the formula for Week 1 is in cell E6. For Week 2 it's in F6, etc.
I was thinking I could simply place the sheet tab name in the row above (i.e. D5, E5, F5, etc., and then write the formula for 1 cell and copy it to all of the other cells on that row.
Currently my formula looks like:
{=IF($D$6="","",SUM(IF('W1'!$D$12:$D35=$D6,('W1'!$N$12:$N$35))))}
I was thinking the formula might look like:
{=IF($D$6="","",SUM(IF('&E5&'!$D$12:$D35=$D6,('&E5&'!$N$12:$N$35))))}
But that isn't working.
Additionally I was hoping to do something similar on the SUMMARY tab by referencing a different spreadsheet with something like:
='[&A1&]Sheet1'!$B$51
Where cell A1 has the value "Time Sheets - 01-17-09.xls"Currently the formula looks like:
='[Time Sheets - 01-17-09.xls]Sheet1'!$B$51
But this isn't working either.

I have a workbook with a macro that searches through worksheets to find certain values and place the location of the value in a worksheet cell. The following line ontains the found cell.
I am entering a tremendous amount of data and as I get further doen the spreadsheet I can not always remember the column headings, is there a way to have the headings (Example: product name, code, price, etc) appear at the top of the screen so I do not always have to scroll all the way to the top again.
Second, My commerce system requires a short and long description, I want to have the short desctiption feild grab the first 200 characters of the long description and then follow it up with three periods (...)
I need a column to autopopulate based on quantities of title entered by a user.
Each row has a Type (Column A) and a Sequence # (Column B), and I can get as far validating if a given row has same Type and Sequence# <= the sum of the quantities.
Now I'm struggling with counting down through the quantity of each title.
Each title should exhaust itself before moving on.
Example:
COUNTIF Sequencing.xlsx
I have been given an Excel file. Upon opening it, I see that the top four rows do not move even if I scroll down. What I'd prefer is that only the first row (for column titles) not move. If I can learn the name of this feature, I'm sure I can figure out how to change the file.
View 3 Replies View RelatedIt appears that the bar graph automatically turns all dates into the first day of the year in question.
For example, what I have in the source chart is the following 3 dates: 6/11/14, 6/11/13, 6/11/12, however when I convert the table into a bar graph, it changes the dates to 1/1/14, 1/1/13, and 1/1/12.
Here's a snip of the table: Data source.JPG
And here's a snip of the chart: Chart.JPG
I've tried going into the advanced settings and making the intervals fixed (starting at 6/11/12 with 1 year intervals), however it does not seem to change the display.
I have exported a dataset with references numbers and I want to convert those reference numbers into the titles they refer to. I have a separate sheet that matches the reference number to the title and would normally use a LOOKUP function [=LOOKUP(A2,Key::Table 1::A,Title)] to do this but, in this instance, I have multiple reference numbers in a cell separated by commas. How can I get the function to lookup multiple numbers from the same cell?
