Any Way To Validate Formula Only Searching Front Of A Word?

Jul 18, 2012

Here is the current code I am using: =IF(A1="MIXED DBLs 1st Place",'Mixed Doubles'!B9,"")

What has happened is I am changing the Field Mixed DBLs to a field that could have multiple values, so I am no longer going to be able to do a test on a Hard-Coded Value.. So is there a way to only validate on the front of the word like just MIXED DBLS and nothing after that??

Find Multiple Numbers In One Column And Replace With Single Phrase In Another Column

Jan 31, 2013

I have taken over this spreadsheet for my work, and it is basically a statement in excel. What I want to do is find a list of invoice numbers in column B populated from a remittance, and then replace column F to say a specific thing depending on check number and date paying for that invoice. So if a check printed today I would have it replace column f to say paid 1/31/13 check # xxxxx. Currently I am searching for each invoice indivudually and then replacing with check number and date. There are about 200 invoices per month that I deal with, and it is a big waste of time!

For example from this

invoice #1 / reconciled (DATE)
invoice #2 / reconciled (DATE)

To this:

invoice #1 / paid (DATE) check # (xxxxx)
invoice #2 / paid (DATE) check # (xxxxx)

Find Phrase In One Column And Apply Formula To Different Columns Same Row?

Aug 27, 2013

I am trying to come up with a macro that will find rows that contain the words �as % of Revenue� and then calculate and apply the appropriate formula to the actual and budget columns. I have attached a sample of what the source data look like.

The formula divides the category�s total expense by the revenue in row 4. For a complete macro, I would want to also subtract the budget result from the actual result and put its result in the �better (worse)� column. I need to use this on 12 or so different workbooks which is why I�m wanting a macro.

Here is my attempt to accomplish this task; however, I quickly realized it is woefully inadequate because I neither understand how to apply it to the different columns or how to find the next instance of �as % of revenue�).

VB:
Sub Macro1()
'
' Macro1 Macro
'
Range("B10").Select
Cells.Find(What:="as % of Revenue").Activate
Range("B20").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=R[-1]C/R10C"
Range("B21").Select
End Sub

Add A Certain Phrase In One Column And Put A Value In Another Column

May 27, 2009

I want to find the equation that will add a certain phrase in one column and put a value in another column. For example, suppose I want to find out how many people in column A has a red shirt. In the column there are a variety of colors. If they have the red shirt then I want to put a yes in column B.

Another example that I've struggled with is if I want to find out if someone had a birthday between March 1 and March 31 (a certain time) in column A, and put the value of all those people in another cell?

Pulling Data Foward To The Front Sheet

Mar 7, 2007

I am working on a project for a monthly report. My back sheets have (or will have) 12 columns of info for monthly income/expense for multiple companies. The front sheet will have 2 columns, one for the past month & one for cumulative.

Obviously the cumulative is an easy one to pull off, but how can I make the correct column show up for the current (last) month I am working on.

Rather than make it tied to the actual date of input, I have used an approach in the past with a "sum if" formula for a single reference where =sum if(b6:b6,a2,a6:a6) but I'm not sure how to make it work for 12 references. Can this be done?

Data Validation :: Cells Should Contain Specific Word On Input

Jan 13, 2010

I'm trying to make the included spreadsheet as idiot proof as possible as a lot is a stake. I have most functionality working well; however, not I would like to add a little more data validation that does not exist in the normal cell validation rule set.

I need all the input cells to validate that the cell contains the word "BOX" upon entry, otherwise throw a warning. This is because the data entry will be done by barcode and there are a couple barcode labels on each box. The one I want will include the word "BOX" somewhere in the code sequence.

Since a previous function in the Code locks the cell, they wont be able to fix the error. but it will alert them so they can make sure to scan in the proper barcode and not miss the box. Also, once I get something that works in the code, where would I put it? In the same code box as the previous script, underneath it, or somewhere else? So, bottom line, I need a script that check the cell for Text of "Box" otherwise throw a message box.

Delete Excessive Carriage Returns In Front Of Data?

Dec 9, 2011

Is there a way to delete excessive carriage returns at the beginning of data. I pull reports from a SharePoint list where submitter entries often often contain multiple carriage returns before the text or data. I use ASAP utlitily to clean out excessive spaces before and after data, but I don't find a way to remove these multiple carriage returns so that the text entries are easily viewable when row-height is less than gigantic. Cells with extra carriage returns before the text entries end up looking like the following:

Refernceing Cells: Formula That Looks At A Cell On A Front Sheet, And Then Returns The Contents Of That Cell As The Result If It Meets The Criteria

Apr 5, 2009

I have a formula that looks at a cell on a front sheet, and then returns the contents of that cell as the result if it meets the criteria. So for example this formula would be in Cell A1 on Sheet2 IF(SHEET1!A1,"New",Sheet1!A1,"-")

This formula is always in the same cell (different sheet) as the cell that it is looking at, down 1500 rows. Instead of having the formula named for each cell is there anyway to ask excel to 'look at this cell but on this other sheet'.
e.g IF(Sheet1!"This Cell" etc). That way no matter what cell you put the formula in it is always referencing the correct cell for the formula?

Filter Column A To Include Multiple Cells Of Data In Column D?

Mar 31, 2014

Is there a way to filter column A but ensure it includes multiple lines of data in a different column.

I have attached an example of what I am looking for:

I need to filter by community but keep all the information listed in columns, B, C, & D.
So when I filter to Thunder Bay I would still see the 5 members listed in column D.

I realize the easy solution is to fill all the empty cells in column A to pick up the data in the other columns, but I do not want to Fill all the empty cells to include the name "Thunder Bay" (not the look I want for this spreadsheet).
