This happens throughout the entire workbook and multiple times on each work sheet in different spots not consistently same cells.
Find If Text Cell Contains A String Of Characters From Array In Different Workbook
Aug 12, 2011I've scoured the internet for this answer and have not found a formula that works.
I have a list of domain names/URLs in column A of workbook 1:
jhjh.com
hajfh.co.nz
123.123.12.12
I have a list of domain name extensions in workbook #2:
.com
.co.nz
.net
I want to determine if the cells in column A workbook one contain any of the strings in workbook 2 - note that I need to look at the string, not the entire cell in workbook one. If there is a match, true, if not, false for that cell within workbook one.
It's sort of a reverse array lookup with text. It seems that cross workbook and text is what causes the challenge.

Find And Replace Formula For Locating Short Text Within Larger Text?
Jan 7, 2014I have an existing Cash Flow Report that has a column of abbreviated/shortened (WBS Element) title where each cell contains a unique three lettered/numbered amount of characters (Example: 200). These three abbreviated character cells are specific and relate to their full/longer (SAP WBS Element) title (Example: WBS DWRRI-BW066-200).

Excel 2007 :: Find Text And Replace It With Same Text Only In Italics In Worksheet?

View 5 Replies View RelatedExcel 2011 :: Find Multiple Text Strings In Another Text String
Mar 8, 2013How do I use an Excel formula to find which (if any) multiple sets, each of up to 50 words, exist in a series of rows of a spreadsheet - if set A has one or more words found in a searched cell.
A positive result will return a specific value in the designated result cell. If none of the words in Set A is found in the searched cell, the formulae will repeat the test for the words in Set B, and so on.
After all 50 sets of words have been tested, the formula will move to the next cell in the searched column.
New words will be added to the sets of words continually as required.
Multiple words within sets are included in double quotes. Within each set of words there will be some n-tuples of words (i.e. 24 adjacent words) that contain one or more of the words in the set, but for which the formula will be required to return a negative result. Example: Set A = word 1, word2, word 3, "word1 word2 word3". (The words within a set could also be each entered in separate columns, as opposed to all included in a single cell.) The single column of text to be searched is about 10,000 rows.
I am wanting to use the above in a spreadsheet that contains data downloaded from a series of bank accounts to automatically allocate items of expenditure to one of 20 or so different categories of expenditure.
The formula will search the description field to find words that are used in the in the downloaded files from the various accounts to describe each transaction.
If a word describing travel expenditure (e.g. hotel, "holiday inn" but not "holiday travel") is found in the description of an expenditure item - the item cost will be allocated to the TRAVEL EXPENDITURE column, which is one of 20 or so different categories of expenditure.
Happy to consider a different solution if the task can be done better a different way.
Tried using a combination of INDEX/SEARCH/IF in Excel, but was not able to get a correct result. PS I am using Excel 2011 for Mac - which does not allow macros, so the solution needs to be entirely formula based.
Formula To Find Specific Text And Replace With Alternate Text?
Mar 4, 2014I have a worksheet with several columns. I need a formula to search column D only and each time a specific location is identified to replace that location with alternate text. Example (ORIGNAL TEXT):
Column Dtext to text help.xlsx
BIRD
FISH
DOG
BAT
BUG
I need to search that listing and each time the word BIRD is mentioned have it replaced with FEATHERS and each time DOG is listed have it replaced with TAILS Final result would look like:
FEATHERS
FISH
TAILS
BAT
BUG
All other text should stay the same and replacement text should appear in the cell of the text it is replacing. This is a sheet used by multiple people several times a day and so the Find/Replace option really won't work.
Have working on this for at least 6 months and it just isn't going to happen for me. I thought I could use a Conditional format, but that is producing no results either.

IF Statements To Find Certain Text And Exclude Certain Text?
Jun 18, 2014I'm trying to set up a dashboard with a table and some formulas so that I can just copy a data export into one tab and have the table perform various Vlookups, charts, etc. The trouble I'm having is that some of my cells contain a mix of text, and I'm looking for specific text only. Example:
Address |Tags | Result
Email 1 |t1 t2 t3 t4 | Email 1
Email 2 |t1
Email 3 |t2 impact1 | Email 3
Email 4 |impact2
Email 5 |impact2 t2| Email 5
My data source has thousands of rows, and I'm looking at the Tags column. I want to use a Vlookup that gives me the email when [Tags] contains "t2", but my search is getting confused with "impact2". Is there a formula to search for "t2", but not get confused with "impact2"? I considered using =NOT, but I don't want to exclude cells just because they contain "impact2". If there was a formula for =IGNORE, that would be marvelous. My formulas are getting longer & longer, but they always seem to break in the end.
Basically I'm trying something like:
=IF(OR(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("* t2*",Table1[Tags])),SEARCH("t2*",Table1[Tags])),"Yes","No")
(Once I get the IF figured out, I'll use Vlookup to bring out the Address).

TRRowCount = Range("J1"). CurrentRegion.Rows.Count
Stop
TheRace = Class & NewTrackClass & MeetDay & AgeRest & HorseRest
Set look = Range(Cells(2, "J"), Cells(TRRowCount, "J")). Find(TheRace)
If Not look Is Nothing Then
h = look.Row
RaceRating = Cells(h, "I").Value
Windows("PastTenStarts.xls").Activate
Cells(m, " AI").Value = RaceRating
Goto 155
End If
when I run the whole code without the STOP comand the corresponding ratings are wrong, when I run it and STop it and then continue with F8 the code produces the right results. Everything else is the SAME the only thing I change is I make the Stop a comment of not to enabel it or disabel it.
