Is there any formula to find text and return its cell address? This is like when we use Ctrl+F function to find a text, and Excel then highlight the cell contains the referred text. At the same time, the name-bar displays the address of the cell. Now, is there any formula that can perform such task like this?

construct a formula that finds a value in a range , then returns the cell address of that value.
Say, i wanted to find the amount 12385 from another sheet , range C2:AA12 (contains only numbers , no duplicates). result should give me the address of that value.
I have tried the address & match function but gives me an N/A error.
when I use the range.find function to find a certain value in a column.. i want to return the address of the cell.. and save it in a range variable. how would I do that?
so this is what i have now.. but Rng does not return as a range.. it returns 69... when i use ctrl + G and type ?rng
set rng = .range(A:A).find(what:=69, After:=.Cells(1, 1), Searchorder:=xlByRows, searchdirection:=xlPrevious)
ok so say it picks up..... cell A69... how do i get it to save range A69
I have a table with customers and their addresses (sheet2) and I need to find their GPS locations in sheet1.
I guess the logic would need to be something like this:
find CityName and StreetName in sheet1 where StreetNo is between minStreetNo and maxStreetNo return GPS X and GPS Y
with the formula or VBA code?

Is there a way with the following formula to tell it that if value return is = to value of cell above then find return next value?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a formula that basically work, except is really complicated and slows the whole sheet down and then, for some reason, returns a circular referencing error or something. There must be a better way!
So the back story is that I have a spreadsheet that I'm using to track ~1200 employees, including salary, job title and, where I'm having trouble, reporting line.
Column [R] is the Line Manager (direct manager) and Column [S] is Department Head. Columns [T] - [Y] is "Manager", "Manager +1" (manager's manager), "Manager +2" (manager's manager's Manager), etc up to Manager +5.
'Line Manager' is input manually. 'Manager' = 'Line Manager'. Manager+1 to +5 just vlooks up off the same sheet. This part works fine and will update the whole reporting line if you change the manager.
Department head is where I'm having a problem! Essentially what I'm looking for is for the formula to look at the 5 cells to the right (the manager +# columns) and look for 'Mr Boss' and return one cell to the left since department heads report the the boss. There is one exception, its that some immediate reports of Lucy Lawful also are counted as Department Heads. For this purpose I vlooked up this list of exceptions on another sheet. My formula is this (entered as an array):
=IF(ISTEXT(T5),IF(OR(OFFSET(INDIRECT(ADDRESS(MAX((T5:Y5="Mr Boss")*ROW(T5:Y5)),MAX((T5:Y5="Mr Boss")*COLUMN(T5:Y5)),4)),0,-2,1)=Vlookups!H:H),OFFSET(INDIRECT(ADDRESS(MAX((T5:Y5="Mr Boss")*ROW(T5:Y5)),MAX((T5:Y5="Mr Boss")*COLUMN(T5:Y5)),4)),0,-2,1),OFFSET(INDIRECT(ADDRESS(MAX((T5:Y5="Mr Boss")*ROW(T5:Y5)),MAX((T5:Y5="Mr Boss")*COLUMN(T5:Y5)),4)),0,-1,1)),"")
Below is an example file. In my real file the formula works for everyone, not sure why its not working for half the employee now, but probably cos it's a useless formula.

How to return address of the column or cell I selected from Application.Inputbox, not just return the value?
[Code] ....
I have a drop down list in a merged cell B12-F12 and B13-F13 and B14-F14 . . . B30-F30.
I need the adjacent merged cell to populate a reason (text) based on the text answer in the drop down list or the entered text in the first merged cell. For example in the cell B12-F12 the user picks from the list or types in "Amiodarone." I want the adjacent merged cell G12-J12to automatically fill with "Heart Rhythm." I also want to be able to set up multiple if - them statements like if Amiodarone is entered then fill adjacent cell with Heart Rhythm and if Toprol XL then fill adjacent cell with Heart / Blood pressure and if simvastatin then fill adjacent cell with Cholesterol, etc. I have about 30 different options for cell 1 that I want to have auto fill in cell 2 based on the contents of cell 1. I've attached my file.
I want the user to be able to choose from the list or type the drug name in.
It's a spreadsheet of about 300 rows, each row corresponding to a certain department. each row is filled with various data, both text and numerical, including various different scores and averages. the columns include daily scores and weekly averages. I want to be able to create a new column that will calculate the time (in days or weeks) since the last score/average was entered.
1. a formula that will return the address of the last numerical entry in a given row. (I've got a MATCH formula that will do this, although it doesn't let me specify different cells or ranges, only the entire row)
2. whichever cell is returned will give the date instead of the value. (for example, if the last value entered is in $F$63, and Column F is headed 23/11/09, then the formula will give the date)
3. then finally, calculate the time between that date and the present time
I've tried various different things, both in normal Excel and the VBA editor, and I'm beginning to think maybe this isn't even possible.
I have a range of cells (C29:BB29) containing zeros and integers, I want to lookup the smallest non-zero value from that range in another range (C11:BB11) and return the cell address from C11:BB11 to use in a further SUM formula.
Is that possible?
I'm trying to return the cell address of an lookup. The lookup result is correct, but when I try use the below Address function, it just returns the text value (i.e., the formula itself) instead of the cell address. Below is the an example of each: ...
View 4 Replies View RelatedI want to be able to display the location of a specific cell no matter if I move it around by inserting cells above it. I've used =ADDRESS(41,2,1,TRUE,B41). Cell B41 contains the word "Tommy". So the result of this formula returns this: Tommy!$B$41. But now if I insert a row above cell B41, "Tommy" moves to cell B42 but the formula still returns: Tommy!$B$41. How can I get the formula to display the new cell address of "Tommy"?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have two columns of numbers in column A & B. In column A I am trying to locate the maximum value and get the cell address of the number next to it in column B. I am currently using this formula to do this ..... =ADDRESS(MATCH(MAX(A1:A4),A1:A4),2,4)
It works ok, but if the maximum number is the first value in the column it is returning the last cell address in column B. I am not sure what I am doing wrong.

View 3 Replies View RelatedThe format for the sheet is set in stone and can't change, and therefore my macro's operate on set columns / rows amd cells.
Because the sheet is huge, im trying to figure out a way to only run the macro's that need to run and more specfically on the changed location.
The Question
I need to create a routine that on the user changing a cell, it returns the cell position (row,column), then it will call a routine i have already which decides based on the cell location, which macro to run and where.
Is there a way to get the vlookup function to return the cell address, rather than the value, of the lookup?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a list of ID's on one sheet that are also located in a large matrix on another sheet.
This macro uses the Find_Range function to find each ID within the matrix and return the column header where the ID was first located.
There is also a line which return a list of ranges, indicating all the places where the ID was found.
What I want is to convert the list of ranges into a list of corresponding column headers (ie row 1 of all columns in the range)

I am struggling to find a macro which can look at a name in column 'BT' and search it in the address book of Outlook to then place the email address of that person in column 'ED'
There are 35,000+ people in the address book and there may be over 5 email addresses for one name, so is there any way a message can appear for the user to select which email address is correct if there is more than 1 contact for that name?

If i lookup a value in the range A1:A12, say Sep-12, i need to get the cell address instead of the value of the row. but i know how to get cell address using CELL function. but i need to get cell address when i lookup the value.because lookup value will be dynamic.
How would I return a cell reference (address) to a cell that contains the largest number in a list?
I tried using "Address(large....) where I get the correct column, but the returned row # is the actual value in the cell (the highest # in the list).
I eventually will want to delete the highest number to leave the cell blank.
I am trying to write a formula that will return a statement if a certain month is contained in the text within another cell. Formula is =IF(ISERROR(SEARCH("Dec",Assumptions!B2)),"Ensure Journal is Non Reversing","")
Cell B2 contains a date in the format of Dec 08, so if this date contains Dec, then return "Ensure Journal is Non Reversing", if it doesn't then leave the cell blank.
At the moment it is putting in the first test for every month I select and not changing to blank.
I have the following macro written:
Sub GT()Dim cell As rangeDim BeforeNull As StringDim FirstNull As StringDim InitialData As StringDim B As VariantFor Each cell In range("A1:A8")Alpha:InitialData = cellFirstNull = InStr(1, InitialData, " ", vbTextCompare)If FirstNull = 1 ThenInitialData = Right(InitialData, Len(InitialData) - 1)cell = InitialDataGoTo AlphaEnd IfIf FirstNull "" And FirstNull "0" Then BeforeNull = Trim(Left(InitialData, FirstNull - 1))If FirstNull = "" Or FirstNull = "0" Then BeforeNull = InitialDatacell = BeforeNullNextEnd Sub
Now after the final Next, I need the macro to select the last cell changed. Is there a way to do this?
Find the cell address where the user created button placed in excel.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI want the macro to:
1. search A1:AZ1 to find the cell that has the text "VBA Test" in the cell. There could be other text in the cell as well - this is not an exact match - but these two words are the common text.
2. go to that cell
3. go to one cell below that
4. enter a formula (I've got it from here ....)
In the following example, I need to create a formula to identify the cell address containing the string value "X"
BCDEFXABCDEFXABCDEF
Assuming this was row A, the formula needs to return $A$6 (or A6).
I'd like to have the cell address returned along with a value when I use the
MAX function.
I want a function that allows me to enter a range and then returns
the address of the cell with the minimum value. It is the Address I am
interested in, not the value.
Does anyone know the formula that produces the address (e.g. $A$1) of a cell within a table? I found the formula that gives the address of a single cell within a single row (or the address of a single cell within a single column). But I need the formula that gives the address of a cell where the row intersects the column. If I know the column header name and the row header name, how do I find the cell address for the two dimensional intersection?
