View 9 RepliesI'm currently working with a largish file of about 300 columns and 40K+ rows.
1. To populate the cells, I have to find a match in column A first.define all of its entries as a range and make Excel's Find dialog box look for matches only within this range?Because right now I have to either constantly select column A before doing the search or move the cursor manually to the top cell before every search to prevent Excel from looking elsewhere... This is turning into a real drag. How to speed things up a bit?
2. After I've found a match in column A, I need to find the right column. All of them have a unique entry in the second row (B2, C2, etc.). The huge problem is there's a c..p load of these columns and identifiers aren't arranged according to any recognizable pattern. So, every time I have to do another search on row 2 to find the column I need. All of this is mind-numbingly, excruciatingly slow.
I'm currently working with a largish file of about 300 columns and 40K+ rows. So two questions:
1. To populate the cells, I have to find a match in column A first.
Is there a way to define all of its entries as a range and make Excel's Find dialog box look for matches only within this range?

Is there a way to make Excel jump to a specific column based on a value in a specific cell (in this case, B2-....MO2). Like maybe creating a form with buttons or checkboxes, so that whenever the right box is checked the focus would move to that column and to the row where the Find dialog just found a match in column A. Only I've never had anything to do with programming, so wouldn't even know where to start with this...
I'd like to create a macro that searches a column within a changing, variable range.
For example, I have a roster with a list of teams. Each team is separated by a blank row. In each team, there are a varying number of team members, and one team leader. Column I has the position code, which designates whether the person is the team leader (SL), or just a team member (RD).
What I'd like to do, is search each team for the team leader, then check another column (Col A) just within that team for another value, and if that value is present return the last name of the team leader as well as the name of the member with the value in Col A.
The problem is, I'm not sure how to search a varying range in Col I. Teams can vary in size from 3-11 members (including leader), and the number of teams varies each day. I don't have the option of changing the format or layout of the roster - it's automatically generated by some other program and given to me in a CSV list.
For example, from this sample data of two teams
Testing Program : DKSFS
Scoring Center : Concord
Rater Schedule Date : 07/29/2013
[Code]....
how to define that range in Col I which changes with each new team. My approach is to find a way to search a range (essentially the values between blank cells ) in Col I for the value "SL", then search that same range in Col A for the value "VM". If there's a value of VM within that range (team), then copy Cols A-E, write them to a list, and insert that person's team leader last name at the right.
how to define a dynamic range in Col I? I already have a working macro written which generates that last time, sans team leader name, just trying to figure out how to search that changing range in Col I for each team to find team leader name.
Note, not all teams will have a member flagged with that VM marker in Col A.
I WANT it to search all of column A for the highest number in the range (which will change daily to a new high number above the highest currently), and return the value in column 4 (column D) that corresponds to that value from column A. This is what I have, but it is not working, it is giving me the number (1) in Cell A800 (which is the lowest valued number in my range. The numbers range in value from 1 to 762 with none repeating (they are sequential). The formula I have is :
=+VLOOKUP(MAX(A76:A2000),A76:I2000,4)
I'm currently trying to insert the copy range of one worksheet to another. Let's say I have 3 worksheets, one main and two additional info sheet. I want to search column C in main worksheet for blank cell and use column F in the same row as the worksheet name which I want to copy from, then use column E from main worksheet as the keyword for the range I want to copy(range from column E to column Z). But when inserting, I want the keyword in main worksheet such as 'G' in the same row as blank cell to match the 'G' in copied worksheet. Because the 'G' in main worksheet is not in the same column for each row, I try to search the forum but can't find the inserting part. I also attach the example workbook.

Can i use for this "live search" in column range any control toolbox or form?
only what i want is during writting name it will be shows the results in any textbox or so.
Control box or form can not be programmed so, that after each character check the range and return the results.
Basically I have three sheets. MAIN, Sheet 1 and Sheet 2
Sheet 1 and 2 are in the same format
A3 down is a list of country names and then B3:I71 contains the data im interested in.
I've been trying to create a function that looks at B3:i71 to see if any cell in that range contains a value greater then $0.00. If it does then the row that contains the cell with a value greater then $0.00 (between col A to K) should be copied to sheet MAIN from cells B3 down. This should ultimatley produce a list of data for any row containing a value greater then $0.00. This process should then be repeated on Sheet 2 and should join the list below sheet 1.
I need to be able to query a large date range by a small beginning and end date range and return a count when the value is = each search criteria. i.e. - Search one year of dates from a table by Beg: 7/23/2012 to End: 10/21/2012 and return a count. The beginning and end dates are dynamic and I will need to reference the cells, i.e. B102 "Beg" B102 "End" and not a static date.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have an array 20 Rows x 42 Columns, which contains a competition draw.
I need to search this array for a unique value and return whatever the time is in the first column on the same row as the value appears, and enter it into column C in the Womens Times sheet.
I also want to return into column D the court number from row 3.
The reason i want this automated is as teams enter / withdraw we may need to drag the games from court to court to fill gaps, so i want the Womens Times sheet to update accordingly.
I have been messing around with index and match, but cannot quite get it to return what i need.
I have attached an example ... on the sheet "Womens Times" in column A there is a list of game numbers ( #1W etc etc) indicating womens game #1 and so on. The main sheet i am using also has a seperate tab for the mens games, hence the designator of W or M on the end of the game number.
I am trying to get a formula that will search one column range “B” and pull data from another, “D”. Dates are down column “B” and some of those dates are repeated several times. In column “D” there is only one piece of data (a number) entered for each day. Eg, if 08/06/2009 has been entered 3 times in column “A”, there will only be data entered in 1 of the cells of column “D” and blank cells in the other 2.
Column B -- Column D
07/06/09 -- 54000
08/06/09
08/06/09 -- 62000
08/06/09
09/06/09 -- 61000
I couldn’t get the LOOKUP function to work properly, as there are duplicate dates in column “B” and I often got a result of 0 returned.
As I’ve only got 1 piece of data added in column “D” per day and any duplicate days would just have blank cells in “D”, I can actually get a SUMIF function to work, SUMIF(B3:B60,DATE(2009,6,8),D3:D60). Although it does work, it doesn’t feel right using it and I would prefer a formula that would return just the one cell, instead of the sum of a range of cells.
I'm trying to do is search a range of cells for a range of values AND then see if it matches one other value in another range of cells. In this case,
=SUMPRODUCT((T3:T49="P6")+(T3:T49="P5")+(T3:T49="P4")+(T3:T49="P3"))*(U3:U49="w")
T3:T49 can equal P6 or P5 or P4 or P3 but the cells can only be counted if U3:U49 is 'w' as well
I have a file with duplicate names of test id's in col a. In col b I have single test id's and col c I have test names. I need to search col a for exact match of test id in col b and if it is there then put the name of test in col c into col d.
See attached document. Basically I need to know the name associated with the ID in column B.
I made a quick little spreadsheet that explains what I am trying to accomplish. Basically I need to search a column for a known number, when it is found, I need to look at another column on that row, and if the cell is a specific item , count it.

View 15 Replies View Relateduse the VLOOKUP function when the column I need to search is not column A?
I have a Workbook with two worksheets in it and in Sheet 1 I have 10 columns of various text and numbers. In cell A1 of sheet 2 I will fill with a certain code that appears in column E in Sheet 1. The result I would be looking for should come from Column A in Sheet 1. I thought that the following would work copied into B1 of Sheet 2 but it doesn't appear to - =VLOOKUP($A1,'Sheet 1'!E$1:$E$481,1,FALSE).
I need to come up with a way to search Sheet1 column-by-column and within each column search cell-by-cell. The value within each cell is a string and there are empty or blank cells between data (Ending the search after 100 rows is sufficient). As the macro iterates down each column and finds a cell that contains data, I need it to copy that data and paste it in a column on Sheet2. Basically, as the macro searches column A with space between data in Sheet1, it needs to copy that data to column A with no spaces in Sheet2. This needs to repeat for 20 columns.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am basically trying to find the first non-empty cell in a range, but I want the macro to look down columns first. In other words, I want it to look down column A, then column B, and so on. Right now I believe it is searching by rows.

View 7 Replies View RelatedThe intention of the below code is to write out the line is there is not a match in both ranges.
Instead of just D2 being searched, i need it to look into range E2 also if not found in D2.
At the moment if it is not found in D2 it is writing the line, though the match actually appears in E2 range in this instance, thus should not be writing the line.
FYI:
- Of course if there isnt a match in D2 range though there is in E3 then no line should be written as there is a match.
- if there are no matches in the 2 ranges then only 1 line should be written in the same fashion as currently coded.
What's the best way to search every third row in a range ("rDRange") which is one column wide to see if there is a match to "sDept".
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have this formula:
=INDEX(Sheet1!D:D,MATCH("Kona",Sheet1!$C:$C,0))
Works great, however I need to tweek this somehow to search row "5" across dor "DEC" and when its found get the value 6 rows down which will be in row "11"
So basically I want to switch the columns in the formulas to rows

I have already figured out that =IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("wal",B5)),C5,"") works REALLY well when searching for Walmart. I was originally using FIND instead of SEARCH but I found--through this site--that I should use SEARCH instead because FIND is case sensitive and SEARCH is not. considering I have found walmart listed 3 different ways: WALMART, Wal-Mart and WAL-MART. B is the "description" column I am searching and C is the amount column that I want to copy if it matches the search string.
