Formula / Macro To Search For A Particular String

May 20, 2009

how to use a formula or macro or whatever that is applicable to solve my current issue.

For example:

I've the following text below. The prefix of "atest", "bgo", "crun" and "dfly_c" are fixed pattern, however, the text after prefix will change accordingly.

atest_myhomeisfar
bgo_runfast
crun_b:veryfast
dfly_c:bluesky

Now my request is, I would like to have the final output as per below. Notices that there are some additional numbers behind the text (with semicolumn).

Final output:
atest_myhomeisfar:1998
brun_veryfast:2009
cfly_bluesky:1790
dfly_c:bluesky:1800

My question is, is it possible to create something to handle this issue? I mean something that will seach thru a particular fixed pattern as mentioned above and add the number behind it?

I would like to do it one at the time (one prefix at a time). Not mass searching and adding.

For example:
Search all "atest*" pattern and add an additional number behind.

Macro To Search String In A Range Of Cells And Replace While Leaving Original

Jul 25, 2014

So I was given the task to translate some procedure instructions in an Excel file from English to Spanish. These are very simple instructions and in most cases repetitive throughout the document. There are a lot of instances where the instructions are the same except for a #. They are meant to be modified within the cell as the text that appears in the cell will be printed exactly as it appears.There are several instructions in the cell, it is basically a long continuous string in the cell. My idea is to create a macro that can search that range of cells for the instruction, replace it with the Spanish equivalent while leaving the original English instruction in the cell.

Conditional Copy Routine: Macro To Search A Column For A Specific Text String

I am trying to write a macro to search a column for a specific text string which when found, will copy the whole row the string is in. Once this row has been copied, I then want the macro to activate a new sheet and search for the next available empty row to paste the data. Once this has been done, go back to the original sheet and find the next cell in the original column with the specified text string and repeat until the range has been satisfied. Below is the script I have that sort of works.

VBA To Search String And Insert Row If String Not Found

Apr 11, 2013

I have a spreadsheet which has "Employee: [agent 1 name]" in column A and it may or may not have the word "Break" in the same column before it mentions "Employee: [agent 2 name]". The amount of data between agent 1 and agent 2 varies and am needing code which will insert a row above "Employee: [agent 2 name]" if "Break" is not found, and add the word "Break" in column A on the inserted row. I would need this to loop through the spreadsheet until all 100+ agents have been searched.

I'm also needing this done for the word "Meeting" and would insert a row 2 rows above the next agent.

Formula / Macro To Search Cell Text And Assign Value?

Jan 30, 2014

I am trying to get a code which searches each row for a keyword, and then assigns a value to it depending on what group of keywords it is.

For example, if the Name or Comment mentions certain fruit keywords, I want it to assign the value: "Fruit", and if it mentions certain vegetable keywords, I want to assign it "Vegetables", and if it is unrelated to either, I want to keep it blank. If the name/comment mentions both fruit and vegetables then I want it to say "Error".

Since the keywords I am using are mostly two letters, I want the search to only search for the two letters on its own, and not as part of a sentence. e.g. if the key word is ED, I don't want it to return a value for "I rested". Instead, I want it to stay blank.

i.e. I want the code to take information from column A and B, and assign a value based on the keywords in column D and E. As an example:

A B C
Name Comment Value
V1 Eating vegetables are good for you Vegetable
null lock out of ep. Fruit
S-1 It is JUST
Fruit-sp Error

D E
Fruit Vegetable
EP SW
KG SP
ST CM
BV LP

The formula I used so far is this: where C3 is the first value
C3=IF(OR(ISNUMBER(LOOKUP(100,SEARCH(Sheet1!$D$2:$D$6,A3))),ISNUMBER(LOOKUP(100,SEARCH(Sheet1!$D$2:$D$6,B3)))),"Fruit","")&IF(OR(ISNUMBER(LOOKUP(100,SEARCH(Sheet1!$E$2:$E$6,A3))),ISNUMBER(LOOKUP(100,SEARCH($E$2:$E$6,B3)))),"Vegetable","")

In columns D and E I put a leading and trailing space between each word to only search for the keywords themselves, and not as part of a word. (e.g. ST is correct instead of haSTe).

This formula seems to work only for 60% of the information, problems occur when the keyword is at the end of comment sentence: the value is blank. e.g. in row B4 of the table I made above my formula returns a blank.

Macro - Fill Formula Down Until Adjacent Cell Contains String

Jul 17, 2014

I've created the following Macro based on some of the posts on this great forum! It works great, but I'd like to tweak it for another purpose where it would fill the formula down until a cell in column AF had the value "#N/A" or stopped having the value "clean". The #N/A is from a formula result so I'm not sure if or how the Macro would treat this.

Code:
Sub Y_CleanUp3()
'
' Clean Up Bad Data Macro 3
Dim LR As Integer
Range("AH2").Formula = "=VLOOKUP(X2,'[Territory by Zip Code.xlsx]Sheet1'!$A$2:$B$135000,2,TRUE)"
LR = Range("AF" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Range("AH2").AutoFill Destination:=Range("AH2:AH" & LR), Type:=xlFillDefault
With Range("AH2:AH" & LR)
End With
End Sub

Search For All Instances Of A String

Jul 11, 2009

I'm using the following code which is working well. It finds an instance of the string "A83". Once it finds it, it moves down x number of cells and populates it with a new string. It then moves down another x number of cells and populates it with another new string, etc.

The problem is, it is only looking for "A83" one time and performing the appropriate actions at that point. What I need to do is look for *every* instance of the string "A83" and perform the appropriate actions.

Vlookup To Search For Part Of A String?

Nov 17, 2008

If I have a store number (say 1234) and I am trying to search for something which contains 1234 (i.e. the whole string of ABCD1234, ABCD1235, ABCD1236 etc) is it possible to do this in one VLOOKUP formula?

One way of doing it would be to VLOOKUP("ABCD"&"1234",....) but I would rather do it the other way around, to prevent the formula from not working.

FindNext (search In Column For A String)

Jan 29, 2009

1) search column A for a string
2) as that string is found, move the entire contents of that cell to the same row, column F
3) insert a blank row above the row where the text was found
4) continue to search and perform the same steps

I was able to come up with the code to find a single instance and perform the necessary steps, but I've tried 'til I'm blue in the face to incorporate the FindNext object to parse through the entire worksheet. I thought I was on the right track with the attached code (which could be completely wrong), but it returns my MsgBox "Value Could Not Be Found."

How To Search For A String That Includes The Symbol

Sep 18, 2009

I'm writing some VB in an Excel macro to search and replace a string of text.

The problem is that the string contains the " symbol, so when Access gets to that symbol it thinks that it's reached the end of the string.

e.g.

I want to replace "0519","863027" (including the quotes) with "0001","863027"

This is what the code looks like, but it obviously doesn't work :

Nested IF(SEARCH The String In Column)

Dec 17, 2008

Column A contains an alphanumeric string up to 50 characters in length. I need a formula to search the string in Column A for the word "Appeal" and place that word in Column B when found. Likewise for the words "Grievance" and "Complaint". If none of the three words are found in Column A, the contents of Column B should be blank. Here's the formula I've played around with (it works on the first line but returns #VALUE! on following lines):

=IF(SEARCH("Appeal",A1),"Appeal",IF(SEARCH("Grievance",A1),"Grievance",IF(SEARCH("Complaint",A1),"Co mplaint","")))

I've tried entering it as an array, but that also fails. This seems like a pretty simple problem ,but I've spent several hours trying to make the formula work so I'm obviously doing something wrong.
