I have a couple of excelfiles in which someone made a flowchart with text boxes. I would like a search code that would help me find a text or number in those text boxes. The CTRL+F function only works on cells. Does something similar exist for text boxes? Or can this be made in a macro?
Trying to Find a specific word and Replace with another within a textbox ( created from the drawing tool, as well as the control toolbar) The textboxes contain loads of text information.
as an example
The word "Apple" to be replaced with "Orange"
I came across this code from the archives (compliments of Dave Hawley)
Sub ReplaceTextBoxText()
Dim sTextBox As Shape
Dim wSheet As Worksheet
Set wSheet = Sheets.Add()
For Each sTextBox In Sheet1.Shapes

I have a list of English game results with the score and the soccers of the game.
E.g. : [Steinsson 34, Davies 41, Elmander 46; Fuller 91]
As you can see in the excel, what Im trying to do is to find the time i.e which is the numbers in the field and display them seperately onto the cells beside. So what i need is to Find and extract these numbers 34,41,46,91 and paste them just beside cell on the list.
I can use formula but i can only display 1 number, so i think this might require a VBA script.Thanks in advance guys..
I've got a problem which I'd like to do without using VBA if possible. I have 2 rows, one with text and one with numbers. I need to go through all the text, find the text that matches and add the number in that row.
That's very poorly explained so I've given an example below:
text 1 20
text 1 10
text 2 10
text 1 20
text 2 10
I need the formula to do this:
text 1 50
text 2 20
I am using VLOOKUP to match Account names in two tables.
If the names are made up of letters or letters+numbers the names match.
If the account names are purely numbers the names do not match.
All names are formatted as text.
I have tried using TRIM, numbers still do not match.
I've used the below, for example in Column E, the actual data starts in row 4, so I can't use the full E:E syntax:
=IF(ISERROR(INDEX(Data!E$4:E$65000,MATCH(9.99999999999999E+307,Data!E$4:E$65000))),
INDEX(Data!E$4:E$65000,MATCH("z",Data!E$4:E$65000)),
INDEX(Data!E$4:E$65000,MATCH(9.99999999999999E+307,Data!E$4:E$65000)))
The above basically checks for a number, and if fails (there could be #N/A, #DIV/0!, text, or Number-stored-as-text in any cell here), it checks for text. (the 65000 is arbitrary; we will never have more than a few thousand rows)
However this is not reliable--the main problem seems to be number-stored-as-text. And it's not possible for me to do the Paste-Special Multiply *1 trick to convert the numbers because this data is dynamically generated from a database--the user would have to do that every time the sheet opens.
Is there not some formula that simply says: "Give me the last non-blank cell after row 4 in column E, regardless of what type of data"? (Excel 2007)
I have a spreadsheet with a couple of hundred rows on each tab that looks like this: A1: #1 PENROSE TIJUANA MAMA PCH 2620039190 665794 12.00 CT 1 Front 1 1 1. The only constant is the 10 digit number followed by the 6 digit number in the middle and I want to use it to parse the text string. I want the output to be everything prior to the 10 digit number in A1, the 10 digit number in B1, the 6 digit number in c1 and everything else in D1 and so on through the rows.

I have a ton of text boxes on a userform that are in an initial state of being disabled. Is there a quick way of enabling by use of a mask for these Text Boxes ?
All the text boxes I want to enable are named "TB_fieldname" and by mask I mean a snippet of code using something like "TB_*"
Example
tb_liqname, tb_casecost, tb_bottleprice etc etc..
I may be doing this wrong, but I have a form that i created using Active X controls in Excel 2007 (I couldn't use the form control text box, it was greyed out). I have textbox1, textbox2 etc... I got the form to work but I can't tab through. When the user is done entering data in textbox1, I want to set the focus to textbox2. i would like this to happen with enter and tab.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have been working on an excel sheet with several text boxes that need data manually putting into them. I have set the texts boxes out in the correct order and could tab thru them perfectly in order, but then I saved, closed then reopen the document and now the text boxes do not tab in order. I have tried to rearrange them, delete them and start again but the same problem happens every time and I cannot get the tab order of the text boxes to stay in order

I am wondering if the user can use 2 boxes to search and populate the record.
Ie./ Box 1= Vehicle Registration Box 2= Date
This sheet will be used throughout each month and each vehicle registration may have more than one record that month
So I need the user to be able to input the vehicle reg and for the form to populate the relevant record.
I current have a Unique reference which is a combo box that once you select it auto populate the record but this will take forever having to populate ach record to find which one the user is looking for.
I have a file that another person created and instead of traditionally saving, the only way to save file is by hitting X in top right corner and then a series of boxes pop up directing the user on what to do. I looked at macros within file and couldn't find anything really relating to the saving functions of document. This is a complex document and I'm starting to think that it isn't a macro. Is there any area in excel that allows you to adjust save settings? All I'm trying to do is change the wording in these pop up boxes but cannot find the source. Attached is screen shot of first box that pops up.

I want to transfer the contents of around 20 textboxes to 20 different cells. Allthough I have seen many code examples for doing this with a single text box e.g.
Sub getext()
Dim s As String

s = Selection.Characters.Text
Range("A100").Value = s
End Sub
I can't seem to get it to loop through 20 boxes automatically using a For next loop for instance. Also I would like it to skip any empty text boxes it finds.
From what I've seen I don't think it would take too much code but I'm afraid I'm a complete beginner with macro's and completely stuck.

I 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).

View 5 Replies View RelatedHow 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.
I 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.
