XL Macro For Searching Column For Multiple Entries
Jul 8, 2014
The code I currently have allows me to search for one text entry in the column and then copy and paste all those entries into the next worksheet. There are 5 different text entries I'd like it to look for but can't figure out how to do it. I have a work around by using wildcards, but then I have to write another macro to delete out the ones I don't want.
Where is says "DNA - weapons", I'd also like it to allow for "DNA - paternity" and a couple other options.
Here is my current code:
Sub Copy_To_Another_Sheet_1()
Dim FirstAddress As String
Dim myArr As Variant
Dim Rng As Range
Dim Rcount As Long
Dim I As Long
Dim LastCol As String
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
I am trying to write a macro to open a specific file, but need to search multiple folders within folders to find it.
The file name I need to open is "Escalation Adherence-Details " & Format(Date, "mm-dd-yy") & ".xlsx".
I need to drill down to the Adherence Report folder and then have the macro search through folders for each year (2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, etc) and then each month within each year (1 January, 2 February, 3 March, etc), at which point I would then find that day's file.
So far I have the following:
Code: Sub Open_ESCL_Report()
Workbooks.Open Filename:=*****.****.****.******.comsharesPurchasingTeam XEscalationAdherence Report & "Escalation Adherence-Details " & Format(Date, "mm-dd-yy") & ".xlsx" End Sub
Each file is stored in it's respective month folder as .....Adherence Report(Year)(Month)(File).xlsx
I would like to select all cells in column A that begin with the text "SP". Some cells will be contiguous but others will not. For instance in one case, I would like the macro to select cells with the text "SP" which would result in cells A1, A2, A3, A10, A15 being selected. I am working on building a macro that will then do other things to these cells/rows so this is the first step.
The below code will select the first cell with "SP". How would I alter this code to only search Column A and select multiple cells? or totally different code.
Code: Sub test() Dim r As RangeSet r = Cells.Find(what:="SP", LookIn:=xlValues, lookat:=xlWhole) If Not r Is Nothing Then r.Select End Sub
I have column A and it has 1000 rows, every row has a number in it, from 5000 to 5200, meaning that some numbers are presented multiple times in column A.
I need to lose repetitions, so every number is in the the table only one time and then I need to convert this one long column into, for example, 9 columns, so there's no wasting of space and have only one column in every page, if printed out.
my existing macro, as the run takes to much time to complete. (at least 20min) I've already tried several loops, but no one worked for me. Following situation: There are two excel files, entries in column 73 - 85 will be copied from WorkbookRust to the other workbook if the numer in column 5 is the same. Not every cell within this columns contains data, so the macro should automatically jump to the last entry in each of the above mentioned columns, instead of predefine the range as you see in the code below. After the data is copied to the other workbook, it will be filtered acc. to Sub FilterMain and then copied back to WorkbookRust. As already said, the whole thing works, just to lame.
Sub Allmacros() Dim WorkbookRust As String WorkbookRust = ActiveWorkbook.Name ChDir "C:Documents and Settings vogtMy DocumentsRüstplausch" Workbooks.Open Filename:= _ "C:Documents and Settings vogtMy DocumentsRüstplauschCH_Revenue_2008.xls" Sheets("Main_Overview").Select Windows(WorkbookRust).Activate Application.run ActiveWorkbook.Name & "!UpdateEntries" Application.run ActiveWorkbook.Name & "!FilterMain" 'not ask to overwrite existing file Application.DisplayAlerts = False Workbooks("CH_Revenue_2008.xls").Save Workbooks("CH_Revenue_2008.xls").Close End Sub
I have many wordlists, which have multiple entries in one column. I would like to mark up entires which appear more then once with numbers 1,2,3....The number should be put at the end of the word or ath the beginning.
Before Macro:
Column A
Love Love Long Lonely Lonely Living Living
After running the macro:
Column A
Love 1 Love 2 Long Lonely 1 Lonely 2 Living 1 Living 2
What I need to do is sort certain entries in longer list (column A, it is in .csv format and needs to be in it so coordinates and names and ID, all sorted with commas) and I have another list (column C) which is shorter list of certain IDs. I googled and tried and got some results for the basic structure but the fuction seems to fail. It doesn't matter how I get that third list done, but there is only one criteria: since the list in column A is really long and those entries need to keep the .csv formatting, the function should copy that info what is in the matching cells.
Let me try to put it simple: .csv cells from column A that have matching ID from column C should be copied to column B (or N).
In column A I have a list of Acronyms from A2:A90000 and more
In column B I have the corresponding acronyms spelt out from B2:B90000 and more
When I run the macro, it shoud detect the multiple/duplicate Acronyms and it's corresponding descriptions, DELETE the multiples/duplicates and move the cells up.
I am fillin out a spread sheed with a num ber of codes. I want to create a excel formula that will look at the entire column and search for each of the codes. If I have forgotten to add one of the codes into the column I need the formula to let me know.
What I was thinking might work is this...
To look for one of the codes I would do this. =IF(MATCH("FLA",E5:E36,0)>0,TRUE,FALSE)
This works great if the Value is in there. If it is not in there I get #N/A instead of FALSE. Is there a way to get the MATCH to return another value if it is not found in the range?
Is there an easier way to look for multiple values? So far the only solution I have found is like this
For each value I need to look up I add another IF function. I have about 17 different values I need to look for. This makes for a ugly function but it seems to work.
I have been using the VLOOKUP function to search a table of data for a specific value in order to then give me the corresponding data associated with that value. I can do this and it works!!
However, as I am searching for names some people have more than one set of data and the VLOOKUP only finds either the first set of values (if the FALSE command is used for ‘range_lookup’) or the last set of values (if the TRUE command is used for ‘range_lookup’). I have attached a small example:
How can I get all values to be displayed?
I know that this may have been explained horrendously but I have written and re-written this several times and this is the best I can get!
i am trying to set up an interface through Excel for a database of record also held on excel. I have very very basic VB skills and have no idea what im doing lol but what i would like to do is have a search box and button, something similar as you would find on most websites. I would also like (if possible) for it to search up to 8 workbooks to look for a name or vaule.
I want to search a longer text field for a shorter string that may be within it. However, I want to do this for multiple short strings.
For instance:
PhraseHidden word Please search the text for the hidden message: Blue The hidden word, Green, may be at any point And the word may be different lengths like Yellow
I have a table of the hidden words (Blue, Green, Yellow, Pink)
I know I could use search to find one word, but is there a way to look for multiple words, and return the value of which one it finds? I have many hidden words (and the list is dynamic) so I don't want to just split into multiple searches.
Fall - Columns A-G Spring - Columns I-O Summer - Columns Q-W Unduplicated - Columns Y-AD
I am needing to take each student in the Unduplicated section and see which terms they attended. If they attended a specific term, I need to grab a piece of data from that term and put it in over in the undulicated area.
The only way I could think to do this is with three separate searches. This is probably grossly inefficient and so far it has not worked at all. I have posted below the code I am currently using. Again this code is not workin at all.
I need to do the following:I have multiple worksheets/ workbooks that hold user info such as address, country, first name,last name, ID,dob, gender, occupation etc I need to make a search dialog whereby the user is allowed to do this:
1-Search by ID by selecting thru the calendar tool OR
2- search by first and last name. When he clicks search, I need the particular worksheet holding the data to pop up and show the user the data that was requested for.All data in ID column is unique...but for first n last name, i have a few people who have identical names
i have a spreadsheet that i use for work which has 1 page that contains all the data for the workbook. on other pages i use this data, and tables, to pull information to those pages or other pages which complete my work in a more timely fashion.
that issue i'm having is when i try to look up specific values within the data page tables and there are multiple values.
i need a way to choose different values rather than the "first" value in the instance of a vlookup which only finds the first value.
in the pictures i have picture 1 (vlookup samples) has a section where i can type in the "office" code and it will auto pull "switch name" and "switch clli" via vloookup.
in picture 2 (switches sample) i have created a table, which is on another page as stated above, but if i try to search for the example "LSGT5" it only returns a switch name value of "LFTYINXFDS0" and there is also a value of "LFYTINXFDS1".
there are many more within the table(for this office code alone) but this is just an example of how i need a way to choose the proper one or somehow have a drop down without having to create a bunch of tables for each office itself.
I have a list of data and I want to identify the unique entries for both columns but the second column has to unique to the unique values in the first column.
Goals *VBA - code *Search down a column of Serial numbers that are in numerical order....Column A,B,C........ *find the last duplicate and the row of that SN 3301 3301 3301 3301 3301 <---What row is this 3302 3302 3302 3302<---What row is this
*Then Store that row number in a variable like a,b,c,
I am trying to NEXT my way through a column of comments and highlight the cells containing the key words. Below is what I have put together, but I know it is NOT working correctly....
I'm Searching down a column to the last time the number is repeated Now I don't know what the next number is it could 3304 or 5000 so I need to know what the last row the duplicate number is in
I am attempting to search for duplicate dates within a column. If a date does appear twice, I would like the date to be copied over to the cell in the row next to it. I tried to use
=IF( COUNTIF($A$1:$A$20,A1)>1,A1,""), and then fill down in column B, but it only seems to search the column for the first value.
I need to convert data from column IDS into separate rows, all other columns need to stay in tact. There are several distinct patterns for the IDS column, main identifiers are always starting with FILER or TEAL and the trailing numbers behind it have no more than 6 digits.
I have two lists. One is a database (Worksheet 2) with a lot of information, and another is the list (worksheet 1) I need to fill up the data for. What I want to do is to search for the names that are in worksheet 1 in worksheet 2, and if there is a match, retrieve the missing data in those rows, and paste it back into worksheet 1. For example: Worksheet 1: Joe Tim 23 Matt
Worksheet 2: Alex 45 Joe 23 Mark 47 Tim 44 Matt 24
I basically want it to be able to search for the corresponding name, and then pull the number associated with it.
The following code works fine to determine if a particular character occurs within the selected range of cells:
Code: Sub CheckIfCharacterIncluded() For Each MyCell In Selection If InStr(MyCell.Formula, "#") Then MsgBox ("The " & "#" & " character was found in cell: " & MyCell.Address & " at position " & InStr(MyCell.Formula, "#")) End If Next End Sub
However, I would like to extend this functionality to check for multiple characters, using some sort of array that contains all the characters I want to check for e.g. "#","*","£" and so on, without having to repeat the above code for each character for which I need to check.
I have a problem with excel that I have been trying to solve for the past 5 days! I have 2 tables (one with 500 rows, the other with 15000) that contain information about pipes.
The smaller table, Drift List, is to be used as a reference to fill up the bigger table. Here is how Drift List looks like:
I am looking to split multiple different entries in a single cell into multiple columns and repeat this for all rows
Example (I have the below in a single Cell as column headers) NCM Server Mgmt VLAN Site ID
Next Line down is the data (Each row in a single cell) Enabled 10.10.10.0 50 TEST SITE 1 Enabled 10.10.20.0 50 TEST SITE 2 Disabled 10.10.30.0 50 TEST SITE 3
How I could achieve this as I have a number of projects where this would become useful
I know you can use delimiters but with spaces between the values I just can't fathom a way forward.
