I have another problem with this damn address file. Column H and I have data in them that is often mixed. As shown below, I have used A and B below, but its normaly in Column H and I. I would be greatul if some could write a macro to split the data into the two columns.

Rows 2-8 is what Im presented with. I would like them to look like 11-17

Note that the number in row 8 does not match, so is left for manual intervention....

I have a problems here. The problems is attached in the file. I wanna extract alpha/char from a string. Example: I wanna extract the words "(M)" with the bracket from the string "Toothbrush (M)" in column A. After extracting the (M) out, I wanna do a validation to compare the (M) in column B with another data in column C, if the (M) is same as the data called "Medium" in column c, the validation will return "Match" in the column d!

Compare Multiple Text Cells To One String Of Text And Return Specified Value

May 12, 2012

I have a dataset of shifts and want to compare each shift that needs to be filled to a list of requests for time off (vacation, etc).

For one cell the code is: =IF(ISERROR(SEARCH(B1, A1), 0,1)

Where A1 is the column of requests in comma delimited forme (ie: "AB,CD,EF").

Where B1 is the column containing the person assigned to shift 1 (ie: "AB")

In this case, would return a "1" as no error was returned, as AB was found in the list. Here "1" would represent a schedule conflict.

Without creating many cells for each shift- there are 20 shifts- can I create an array or string together this type of "SEARCH" function?

How To Compare Two String In Two Different Workbooks

Aug 4, 2014

I want to compare a string in a different workbook. and find the relevant cell value of that.

e.x. in one worksheet the value displayed like "DEBIT/ATM CARD TRANSACTION FEE" But in another worksheet the value displayed as "018 - Debit/Atm Card Transaction Fee".

Now I want to compare this string and the value displayed in the column E for this row of workbook 2 should be displayed in workbook 1 in the column D.

Compare Range To String?

Jan 24, 2014

I am working on a project where I need to remove records based on certain criteria.

The key pieces of information here are the Company ID, the Contact ID, and the Product Codes. Each Company ID can have multiple Contact IDs, and each Contact ID and have multiple Product Codes. (To be more clear, imagine one company with a Tax department and an Audit department - with each department having a separate contact person. And, each contact person purchasing multiple products.)

I have already summarized the data by identifying the unique Contact IDs and combining the corresponding Product Codes into a string.

Now, I need to determine if any Product Code within the summarized string matches a Product Code in a separate list (a Range of cells). If so, each instance of the Company ID needs to be moved into a different tab. Also, to understand the magnitude of my records, I am working with 25,000+ unique records in the first tab, 8,000+ summarized records in the second tab, and 50+ product codes in the separate range in the third tab.

My first thought was to use a For loop to determine if any cell in the Range is found in each string and, if so, add the related Company ID to a dictionary object. Then, run another For loop against the Company IDs in the summarized tab (8,000+ records) to determine if the ID exists in the dictionary and, if so, moving the row to another tab.

My second thought was using the original data (unique records) - I would load all the Product Codes in the separate Range into one dictionary and run that dictionary against the individual Product Codes in the unique records tab (25,000+ records). If the Product Code in the unique records is found in the dictionary, I would add the related Company ID to another dictionary. Then, I would run a For loop comparing the second dictionary to the Contacts IDs in the summarized tab and move the ones that exist.

In summary, the two ways I have come up with to accomplish what I need includes:

1) a For loop, a dictionary, and another For loop

2) two dictionaries and a For loop

How To Compare Two String Variables

Mar 27, 2014

I am trying to to work out how to compare two string variables that I can see with my eyes are clearly a match but getting the right syntax to convince VBA they are the same is my issue.The first example is:

Direct Credit 158824 BRANDON DONNA C/ Lak30

the second example is:

Direct Credit 158824 BRANDON DONNA C/ 30 Lake Vue Parade

but that still would not get a match that I can find code for.

i am chasing the "holy grail" in VBA and I will leave the records that do not exactly match to manual processing although i hate to give up that easily

Find First Two Words In A String And Compare To Another With VBA?

Mar 28, 2014

What I am trying to do isn't very complicated. I started on some code, but it's just not good enough to do all of what needs to happen.

A
B
C

1
Cupcake Monster
Aisle 5
Shelf H

2
The Cupcake Ghoul
Aisle 2
Shelf P

3
Fred Baxter's Diary
Aisle 1
Shelf X

4
Angry Cupcake Beast
Aisle 3
Shelf A

5
Everyone Loves Cake
Aisle 4
Shelf R

So I have a list of titles that I want to search for a particular string. The title in this list is the "proper" title,whereas the rest of my workbook typically uses a shortened version of the title. Sometimes the two will match 100%, but usually, they will be close.

If the string in the table above has more than 2 words, I want to use the first 2 words to check for a match. If the string has 2 words (will never have fewer), I want to match the first word. I want to do this IF there is no 100% match (if possible or reasonable). I will settle for just matching 1 or 2 words. I want to copy the values to another sheet and then delete the row that I originally got the data from.

What I want to do is search the list for "Angry Cupcake" and return the Aisle and Shelf location of Angry Cupcake Beast. There will never be any other "Angry Cupcake", so I am not worried about mismatches there.

Code:
Dim SearchRow As Integer
Dim StoryTitle As String[code]....

how to do and can get to work without issues is an exact match. This still leaves out all of the shortened titles though.

Vba: String Compare And Highlight The Difference

Aug 25, 2008

I have a string compare function that compares two strings and return 1 if matches. Each string has multiple words separated by ",", and all these words need to be matched.

This function is done, but I want to add a little feature to it. For each string, if one word cannot be found in the second string, change that word's size to 14, fontstyle to bold.

Function StringCompare(value1 As String, value2 As String) As Integer
''this function compare the words from 2 strings
''each word is seperated by "," and the order of these words does not matter
''return 1 if matches, 0 if not match
Dim v As Variant, u As Variant
Dim i As Integer
Dim answer As Integer, answer1 As Integer, answer2 As Integer
answer1 = 1
answer2 = 1

Compare String Of Words To Cell Content

Jan 31, 2008

I need to compare a list of keywords (stored in a string variable) with the content of a cell in order to see if any of the keywords do appear in the cell. I have to work with many such lists which can grow over time. What I'm doing is using InStr(cell with content, keyword) for each keyword. My goal is to have a macro which can automatically create the long formula from any list. My actual problem is that the formula I've build and stored acts more like a string. I'd like it to say either true or false. Anyway, here's a sample of what I came up with so far.

Sub build_formula()
Dim i As Integer, j As Integer, m(20) As Integer, n As Integer, z As Integer
Dim List As String, f(2) As String, s(20) As String, sp As String, Source As String
Dim Formula As Variant
List = "black, blue, green, red, yellow, white, z"
Source = Cells(3, 1).Value
z = InStr(1, List, "z")
i = 1
n = 1
Do
i = InStr(i + 1, List, ",")
m(n) = i ..........................

Compare (divide) Cells If Date In Corresponding Cells Are Equal?

Aug 6, 2013

I have two sets of data to compare. One is real world data, the other is forecasted data. I have real daily data for every day over about 3 months. The predictions though, there may be 4-6 predictions for ever one real daily value.

What I'd like to do is have a function that looks at Column A's date (real daily value) and Column C's date (predicted data) and if Column C equals Column A, then divide corresponding data in Column B by value in Column D.

Compare Values From Cells To Shapes To Cells

Feb 18, 2010

In the attached excel file I have two macros that create hyperlinks:

1. BalloonToNumber - Creates hyperlinks from "Oval" shapes on sheet "Op60_1" to sheet1 (column D).

2. NumberToBalloon - Creates hyperlink scheme from sheet1 (column D) to sheet "Op60_1" "Oval" shapes.

In Q #1 my macro seems to skip some shapes on sheet "OP60_1" and I simply can not figure out why.

In Q #2 my macro creates hyperlinks to shapes that do not exist and hyperlinks to numbers that are not a "100%" match, IE: 182 and 82 would share the same hyperlink?

If you open the workbook and use the hyperlinks on sheet1 they will take you to sheet "Op60_1" and shape hyperlinks from sheet "Op60_1" take you to sheet1. On sheet "Op60_1" there are some red arrows indicating the shapes that get skipped when running the "BalloonToNumber" macro.
Shape color changes as the hyperlinks are selected from sheet1.....

VBA Code To Compare Cells To Multiple Cells

Aug 24, 2012

So I have a sheet with 600 or so rows of data on a sheet called "Agent_Summary". On another sheet in the same workbook I have a list 20 peoples names. I am trying to find a way to look at the 600 or so lines on the Agent_Summary in column A and see if the name in that cell matches any of the 20 names from the "Team" Sheet. If the name on Agent_Summary is not found on the "Team" sheet then it clears the contents of that cell and moves on. Then it comes back and Deletes the blank rows. I can make it look for any 1 of the 20 names and the code works fine. How do I turn it into something that will look for any of the 20 names?

Here is my code to look for 1 of the 20 names that works great.

Code:
Sub Clean_up_Agent_Summary()
Dim Cell As Range
Dim R As Long
Dim RE As Object
Dim Rng As Range
Set Rng = Worksheets("Agent_Summary").Range("A5:A600")
Set RE = CreateObject("VBScript.RegExp")

[Code]...

"Worksheets("Team").Range("A5")" is where my 1 name is and the rest are just below that. I am thinking some kind of an Array but I am stuck on getting that set up and working right.

Count Number Of Blank Cells In Range Starting And Ending Will Cells That Match String Values

May 13, 2013

I'm trying to develop a new daily timesheet for my production workers, where non-production items are recorded in 15 minute intervals. The user would put in "Clock in" by the corresponding time, and the same for "Clock out" at the end of the day. Any non-production items will be type in next to their appropriate time. Since clock in and clock out times will vary, I need to set up a formula that searches the array of cells for the day, finds the "Clock in" and "Clock out" values, and counts any blank cells in between them. Basically the blank cells will equal production time, and the result of the Count function will be multiplied by 0.25 to get the hours.

I am having a very difficult time finding a way to set the "Clock in" and "Clock out" cells as the range for the Count function, because it won't always be the same cells. What would be the best way to automatically have excel find the cells containing these values and set them as the range criteria for a Count function?

The formula at the bottom was one of my initial attempts, but it didn't work. I took out the '=' for the screenshot, so that wasn't the problem.

Compare Various Cells

Mar 18, 2008

I want to do is create a function that will allow me to compare various cells. For instance, we have people scoring applications and I want to see if raters' ratings are within 10 points of each other. If raters differ by 10 points I want to print conf call on my spreadsheet (so I can schedule a conference call for raters to discuss the 10 point difference). If raters are within 10 points then I want to print "compute mean" (so I will generate a mean for each applicant).

I can get Excell to compare one rater against another (=IF(C3-C4>10,"conf call","calculate mean"), but I do not know how to make it compare all raters. For example, I have four raters and I want to be able to compare rater 1 to rater 2 and rater 1 to rater 3 and rater 1 to rater 4 and then rater 2 to rater 3 and rater 2 to rater 4; and lastly rater 3 to rater 4. Then if any rater dyad is different by 10 points I want to print our "conf call", but if there are no differences (by 10 points) then I want to print our "compute mean".

Compare Cells Which Appear The Same

Dec 8, 2006

I converted a very large PDF to Excel. I want to run a logical formula that will compare a mailing address and property address. My formula goes like this: =if(a1=b1,"yes","no"). However, when I run my formula I am getting False for every line even though I can plainly see the answer should be yes. My guess is that it has something to do with the formatting of the text inside the cells that I'm comparing but they seem to be formatted the same. The strange thing is that if I manually type the information and run the formula, it comes out fine. I have more than 37,000 lines of text so I cannot manually retype the whole thing.

Three letter codes in first column cells are in strings separated by separator (,), I need to split this strings so that each three letter code would be in its own cell in first column, at same time all other cells in same row as original string data should be copied to rows near appropriate 3 letter codes. In attached xls file I have made small example how data looks before and how it should look after applying macro. Table should not move to other place on worksheet or on new worksheet, in attached example I moved it just to show what kind of form result should have.

Compare Text Between Cells

Oct 1, 2009

I've got a very big spreadsheet with over 40,000 lines.

The text is sorted alphabetically, and on its side I'd like to have a column displaying how different it is from the cell above.

Example:
A1 - Mediterranean Sea. -----
A2 - Mediterranean Ses. ----- 5.55%
A3 - Atlantic Ocean. ----- 100%

Basically, 'Atlantic Ocean' is 100% different from the cell above, but A2 has only one letter different (out of 18, including the space and the dot) compared with A1, so it's only 5.55% different.

This would help me find which cells that are supposed to have the same content, have errors and thus are slightly different.

Compare Three Cells And Delete Row

Jul 25, 2008

I am trying to write some code that will compare three cells on a row and if they match then it will delete the row.

Column U-has Y, N entered
Column V-has Y, N entered
Column O-has 1, 2, entered (some cells may have the fill color set to red)

I need the macro to look at Column U and Column V and for example if the cell U2 has a N, and V2 has a Y then the macro would look at O2 and it there is a 1 with the fill color set to red the macro will delete that row.

The spreadsheet will vary on how many rows it contains. It can contain up to 5,000 rows and the macro would need to go through all the rows.
