Find And Copy Partial Contents Of Cells
Nov 19, 2007
I have a list of about 2 million phrases. The list was created by combining two lists in all possible combinations:
a list of about 800 street names
a list of about 1000 property names
example
church street flat
church street apartment
house church street
house king's road
etc
what I would like excel to do is the following:
look at each cell and determine which of the 800 street names it contains. write that streetname into adjacent cell.
this would then leave me with the original column, where each of the 2 million cells has been assigned one of 800 streetnames.
for example:
church street flat | church street
church street apartment | church street
house church street | church street
house king's road | king's road
that's all. I think that can't be too difficult, and probably it has already been discussed here in the forum. unfortunately I did not know for which keywords to search, that is why I couldn't find the posts.
I hope somebody can help me as I need to get this sorted for work as soon as possible. All semi-automatic ways I could think of to accomplish this would take me days that I don't have.

I have two columns, some of the cells in these columns contain more than one value separated by a space. Example:
Col A Col B
1.99 1.69
39.95 6 119.94 29.99 6 149.94
135 250 135.00 250.00
11.6 11.60
What I am trying to achieve is to test that the values in column A match those in column B and have a TRUE/FALSE response in column C. At present i'm just using =a=b, however I want the formula to give me a TRUE response for the third and fourth lines in my example, as I want it to ignore the zero after the decimal place, at present it gives me FALSE.
So the results I want to see in col C for the above example are:
FALSE
FALSE
TRUE
TRUE

I am trying to copy partial data from Column A into Columns B and C, then I want to delete Column A without affecting the results in Column B and C. Column A consists of a stock number in the format "1234-56-789-0000" (including the dashes) and is formatted as TEXT.
I'd like to paste the "1234" from Column A into Column B and the "56-789-0000" from Column A into Column C AND remove the dashes (-). I need to do this for the range (or number of rows) that is populated in Column A. This could be as many as 50,000+ rows of data. After this is done, I want to delete Column A. I tried using the LEFT and RIGHT formulas, but they are dependent on keeping Column A intact.
........... A .................. B .............. C ......
1234-56-789-0000 ..... 1234 ..... 567890000
and then eventually like this:
. A ............. B ......
1234 .... 567890000
On occasion, leading zeros in Column C have disappeared, and it's necessary it stay in a 9-digit format. There are 2 additional columns of data, but they shouldn't be affected by the above.

I need to extract partial contents of a cell.. right now in the cell it looks like
address: 9999
so I want my code to see the cell... dropp the "address: " and only retrieve 9999.
I know it's on google somewhere but I can't seem to describe it properly for the right results to come up.

Below is a small sample of Column A from a spreadsheet I'm working with. All cells in the column begin with a 6 digit number:
115383_BOSTON
115384_NEW_YORK
115385_PORTLAND
115402_LOS_ANGELES
115403_WACO
115010_SAINT_PAUL
115011_SAN_DIEGO
115130_WEST_NYACK
115021_CHAPEL_HILL
What formula would allow me to enter only a 6 digit number and return the entire cell contents, i.e, search for 115403 and get a return of 115403_WACO ? I have tried INDEX and MATCH, but I'm not getting the results I need.

I have a worksheet where columns C, F, I, L, O record scores within a league. Each row records a persons score in that league and there are two rows per person recording their score and their handicap score. So Person A would be on rows 3, 4, Person B on 5, 6 etc. The persons name is recorded in Column B.
What I would like to do is to have a cell(s) elsewhere in the worksheet which show the highest score in that league and display that score and the name of the person who achieved it. This ideally would need to be done for the highest score and the highest handicap score.
For the life of me I can't even begin to work out how to do that or even know if it is possible in Excel.
So to clarify, lets say the highest score is in cell L7 and the highest handicap score was in M3. The cell(s) containing this formula should then show the name in B7 and the score in L7 and below it the name in B3 and the score in M3.

In column A, i have cities.
In column B, i have dates.
I would like column D to have both the city and its corresponding date e.g. "paris (12/06/2013)"
However, I am getting "paris (41437)". Is there anyway to make the date appear properly?

I would like to do now would be to only copy the rows that also contain the word sold in column C. I guess that I could do this in two stages, first copying the rows based on the year then copy again based on the word sold in column C. It would be nicer to make a slight modification to my code and do it all in one step.

I will have 2 columns. In column B, will be a list of invoice numbers. Now each one starts with the "job number" (Ex. 51APGC01) then a dash and unique number per invoice. (Ex. 51APGC01-01)
In column A, will be a list of Purchase Order numbers sent by the customer so we can bill. Now, sometimes we get one PO for multiple invoices, (Ex. 03, 05, 06, 07.....)
What I am looking to do, is when I get these PO's, I enter them in and then I print a report for our billing Dept. The way the output line (cell) will read, is Job Number, then each unique number: (51APGC01-03, 05, 06, 07)
There are multiple jobs and each one has it's own report, so the job number will be dynamic and defined else where in the workbook. I can define that. It's just getting the numbers after the "-" and putting them in only.

I have a script that copies data to files based on many cells contents but where I am having a problem is creating series numbers for each file.
File-01.txt
File-02.txt
..
File-100.txt
In my current code I copy files to folders by date and each folder I need series of files (Lab Testing series)
In column A1:A100 I have a series of numbers 01, 02, 03 ...100
Column B contains the Files to be saved
C:LAB2012Jan1file-01.txt
C:LAB2012Jan2file-01.txt
C:LAB2012Jan3file-01.txt
C:LAB2012Jan4file-01.txt
...
..
C:LAB2012Dec31file-01.txt
So this works fine
I now need the Script to do is to loop to Column A and select Cell 2 and do the File Copy again on the Next series
C:LAB2012Jan1file-02.txt
C:LAB2012Jan2file-02.txt
C:LAB2012Jan3file-02.txt
C:LAB2012Jan4file-02.txt
...
..
C:LAB2012Dec31file-02.txt
When Complete repeat until it reaches the end of column A
Since my Cells are populated by all the data in the workbook I thought at the end of my copy script I would take the next Cells data in A and put it in Cell H8 where all the constants are for the file names.
Column B is built using
=IF($C1="","",$I$1&$G$4&$D1&""&$I$8&$H$8)
=IF($C2="","",$I$1&$G$4&$D2&""&$I$8&$H$8)

Have a slightly unique issue that I can't seem to find the specific solution for. I am wanting to filter a range, using row 1, then copy the visible cells (Excluding the title row 1) and paste into the same location, so over the data as Values.
I can do the filtering part and the selection of the visible row. Only trouble is pasting it to the same location.
this is the code so far - anything better would be great
Sub Macro2()
Sheets("GF_Scoring Database").Activate
Dim extvalue As String
Dim rng As Range

I have the following code to find text on a sheet. It works perfectly except that I want it to find partial text in a cell as well.
Thus, if the text in a cell is Goodwood, it will find it if I type in Goodwood as my search. I also want to find Goodwood if I only type in Good.
The Lookat:=xlPart does not seems to work.....
Dim rFound As Range

I need to find the last row of a table I'm manipulating with VBA. The last row contains only the subtotal of a specific column. I am currently using the following code to find the last row. (NB:'j' is the the specific column, the formula in the last cell is shown in the Do While conditional, but the value 109 can change)
Code:
Do While Cells(i, j).Formula "=SUBTOTAL(109,[BID PRICE '#1])"
i = i + 1
Loop
However, this code will not work if the user adds a row to the table. I've tried using a partial string search, but the do while conditional is always true. I assume this is because the cell contents are a formula and not a string.
Can I change my conditional to search for just the "=SUBTOTAL" portion of the formula?

How do you tell Excel to find a sum out of a partial list of numbers? Let's say, I have sent 10 invoices with different totals to a client, and he returns payment for only 5 of those invoices without any reference. I need to know which invoices are paid.
Is there a function that can do this?

I am trying to find a value in an array based on partial input from a user.
The user will enter the last four digits of a number.
Then the formula should find the number in a list and return that complete number
I will explain using example.
Here is the list of numbers (array):
3003280197
3003283233
3003625456
User input= 3233
formula output = 3003283233

I have a monthly report. Worksheets for each month, each row is a type of fruit (column A), and the number sold (column B). A new worksheet is added each month with the information. I also have a Summary worksheet - running total of all months: Type of Fruit (column A), Number sold (column B), and Total of all fruits - number sold. I would like a formula for the Summary worksheet - to match that fruit (column A) to any of the other worksheets - matching the fruit (column A), and bring back the number sold (column B). (note some apples are Fuji and some are Honey crisp - those would be totaled together)
ex:
Tab = Jan 14
Fuji apples3
Bananas2
grapes9

I'm attempting to copy some files into an archive folder in the same main folder. These files appear weekly in a folder that contains numerous other files.
Each of these files has a filename such as:
RAH_MRL_TOP_40_(ddmmyy_TIME)
with time being the time that the report was run.
Every week the filename stays the same but the time and date changes. I was hoping to be able to simply use the "Filecopy" command and specify the source file with a "*" after the main file name. However this does not seem to work.
Is there a simple way to do this? (I dont want more than a few lines of coding really as I will be duplicating it for each file and then changing the file name as needed.

I am looking for a macro that will insert a new row and copies the formulas from the row above, but not from all the columns.
This is the current situation:
A

C
D

I
J
K
L
M
Name
Project Nr.
Work Order
hours
[Code] ......
What I want is that if column G contains "11374340" an empty row will be inserted above and the formulas from column E until M to be copied a row down. And the sum function in the last row of M needs to be changed automaticly as well (if possible).
I already have the macro to insert a new empty row which is as follows:
Sub InsertRows()
Dim i, LastRow
LastRow = Range("G" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
For i = LastRow To 1 Step -1
If Cells(i, "G").Value = "11374340" Then
Cells(i, "G").EntireRow.Insert
End If
Next

Basically, i have a workbook that contains 2 worksheets with stock data for two stock holding sites, we're consolidating our stores and need to confirm what stock is held at both sites. I need to compare column C on both sheets to find if an item exists on both sheets, and if so copy the entire row from Sheet 2 onto the next free row on a new sheet. Col C on each sheet contains the stock number, however, on Sheet 1 the stock number is abbreviated ot the final 7 letters, with Sheet 2 showing the FULL stock code.
I need whatever is in "Sheet 1:Col C" (for example '1234567') to be compared to whatever is in "Sheet 2:Col C", and if a match is made (for example 9999-00-1234567) then the row containing the match be copied to the next free row on Sheet 3.

How to check for a partial match looking in one cell, A1 for example, and checking to see if the contents of B1 show a partial match (example attached).
I can't use the vlookup because I only want to look at cells specifically, not a table/list. Please also note that the attached example has no formulas.

Attached is a spreadsheet that has Months in column B and Number of Reviews in column C. What I'm trying to do is create code or maybe just a formula that will scan the Reviews column (col C), find the first non-zero cell, and then copy/paste that value into F4. It would then find the corresponding month that is tied to that value and place it in E4. It would then repeat this process for the rest of the months and copy/paste all the rest of the non-zero cells and their corresponding months into columns E and F. The attached shows in italics what the final product should look like.
It is important to note that the numbers in column C are not static... in some cases the first non-zero cell may be the first cell or it could be the tenth cell. In other words, it's data is dynamic.

I am looking for a way to perform a find, and then copy multiple cells. The code below is what I have this far:
'The code under this section opens the first file and copies the Surrogate Compound components
Dim basebook As Workbook
Dim mybook As Workbook
Dim mybook2 As Workbook
Dim sourceRange As Range
Dim destrange As Range
Dim SourceRcount As Long
Dim N As Long
Dim rnum As Long
Dim rnum2 As Long
Dim rnum3 As Long
Dim MyPath As String
Dim SaveDriveDir As String
Dim FileName1 As Variant
Dim FileName2 As Variant
Dim FileName3 As Variant
The code above will actual perform the find, and copy what is in the criteria of the search. However, I am trying to find a way to perform the search, copy the data that is in the search creteria plus data that is in another cell. The data in the other cell will always be different, so I cannot use that in a find criteria. The other data will always be found in the "E" column. I was thinking that possible there might be a way to perform the find, copy that entire row, and then just delete the columns that are not needed. However, I have been unsuccessful in my attempts.

I have a list of customer names. These include one-off customers and companies. Unfortunately, they are not always keyed correctly and in the same format. What I need to be able to do is flag any companies. These will be those that contain key words, such as Ltd, Ltd., Limited, PLC, & Co, & Sons and so on.
My customer list may look like this:
1. Bill Jones & Son
2. Mr B Smith
3. Posh Homes Ltd
4. Posh Homes Limited
5. Mr A Singh
6. Bill Jones & Sons
I then need to flag no.'s 1, 3, 4 and 6 as Companies while 2 and 5 are flagged as non-company.
