How To Automate Search And Match Function Between Two Separate Workbooks Using VBA
Nov 16, 2011
I'm trying to automate a search and match function between two separate workbooks using VBA and am having some problems. I'm using the following line:
search_results = Application.Match(temp, Range("E1:E900"), 0)
which works fine. now the problem is that when i'm searching for lets say "ABCD" in one of the workbooks, if there is an entry "ABCD " (with a space at the end) it says that the entry doesn't exist. is there any way of correcting it such that it would always neglect the space at the end if it exists? i tried using -1 instead of 0 and it messes up, so i'm not sure what to do.

I have been working on this 2 weeks and have finally come to the conclusion. I am trying to use index/match to find an article number in any 1 of 3 attribute files workbooks. I have been am using Vlookup, but the Master attribute file workbooks DO NOT list the article number in column A (but list them in F) and therefore I have been creating an altered copy every month to place the article numbers in column A so VLOOKUP would work. Index/Match would be a more efficient look up formula as I could link directly to the Master Attribute files without altering the workbooks.
Below is the formula I have been using that looks in 2 attribute files workbooks
=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(A8,'C:Recon Workbook FilesService FilesAttributeFiles[TireAttributes.xlsx]TireAttributes'!A:C,2,FALSE)),
IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(A8,'C:Recon Workbook FilesService FilesAttributeFiles[PartAttributes.xls]PartAttributes'!A:D,2,FALSE)),"",
(VLOOKUP(A8,'C:Recon Workbook FilesService FilesAttributeFiles[PartAttributes.xls]PartAttributes'!A:D,2,FALSE))),
(VLOOKUP(A8,'C:Recon Workbook FilesService FilesAttributeFiles[TireAttributes.xlsx]TireAttributes'!A:C,2,FALSE)))
Below are the three (the new formula would incorporate a 3rd attributes workbook "Other" to the search criteria) Index/Match formulas I would like to "Tie" together to find the article number in any of the 3 attribute files workbooks and return column A if the article number is present or nothing if the article number is not present in any of the 3.
=INDEX('C:JDAAttributeFiles[OtherAttributes.xls]OtherAttributes'!A:A,MATCH(A8,
'C:JDAAttributeFiles[OtherAttributes.xls]OtherAttributes'!F:F,0))
=INDEX('C:JDAAttributeFiles[PartAttributes.xls]PartAttributes
[Code] .....

I need to create a macro to find matches between multiple specific workbooks and a named range. I am new to macros and am very confused. After searching the forums here, I am still lost, even though they are very informative. So far,I have created a Dynamic Named Range called NamesList
=OFFSET(CurrentDay!$B$2,0,0,MATCH("*",CurrentDay!$B:$B,-1),1)
that selects the cells which I update manually each day. Once I have updated the list of names, I need to create a macro that will decide whether or not the names in the dynamic named range CurrentDay (located in workbookA) already exist in workbookB. The macro needs to create a list of the which names already exist in the workbook, and which do not. For the names that do not exist in workbookB, I then need to search workbookB and workbookC for matches, again creating a list of results. Until now I have been manually using Ctrl + F (Find Method)and going down my list of names to search through each workbook.

Here is the table I am working with
Date
Open
High
Low
Close
Volume
Adj Close
Semi-Annual Yield
Theoretical Bond Price
Index
Coupon
Total Value
Peaks
Troughs
[Code] ..........
The Relevant columns would be "Date" column A cell 1, "Total Value" column L cell 1, "Peaks" column M cell 1, and "Troughs" column N cell 1. What I basically want to do, in the next column, column O, is this: If cell N# = "Trough" find the previous M cell = "Peak" and take the L cell in that "Peak" row and subtract the L cell in the Trough row from it (like =(L4-L9)/L4)). Then in column P, if the percentage drop was 5% or greater, I want to find the days between the trough we are looking at, in cell n10, and the NEXT Peak, cell M11, using the corresponding dates in Column A.

I am new to VBA and am having difficulties in getting a find function to successfully locate search criteria within cell. When the search criteria matches exactly that of the cell contents then the code works; however should the search criteria only form part of the total cell contents (such as a seach for "the" in a cell containing "the cat sat on the mat") the code doesn't recognise it.
Essentially, I need the code to search a range for the required string and if found within a cell activate that cell and populate a combobox with the full cell contents of the activecell.offset(0,-2).
The relevant section of code attached below:
Dim role_count as range
Dim role as string
If Application.WorksheetFunction.CountIf(Range("Role_Count"), Role) 0 Then
Range("role_count").Select
Selection.Find(What:=Role, After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt:= _
xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:=False _
, SearchFormat:=False).Activate
Me.Controls(ComboBoxName) = ActiveCell.Offset(0, -2).Value

I have 10 very large workbooks that are all setup in the same format. In column Z is a numerical value from 1 to 83. I have been trying to filter the sheet and then copy one at a time from 1 to 83 but that takes a LONG time especially when there is 10 workbooks to do.
Is there anyway I can run a function or macro or something that would just automatically look down the column Z and put each row into a it's own workbooks?
I have attached a sample of what the workbooks look like right now.

I need to separate row data from one workbook into separate workbooks based on cell data. Currently I filter the data, copy and paste it to a new workbook and save it. It's a tedious process and was hoping to find a way to automate it. I have attached a sample file. In this instance, I would like a separate workbook for the filtered data in Column 1 and then all the row data gets copied to new workbook. So all of Pennsylvania data would get copied to new workbook, then all of the Michigan data gets copied to a new workbook. I have also attached an example of the end result that I need.

attempting to accomplish the following in Excel and I believe that I need to use VBA to do it. I am an intermediate Excel user, so you might need to "bring it down to my level" a bit :-)
maintain a master list of tasks (in rows) in a file (File1). In another file (File2), I will keep the task list and related hours charged by our staff (in columns). What I want the macro to do is to compare each row of File2 to File 1 and if they are different (which will happen if I add a new task to the master list in File1), to insert a row. It should do this for each row in the file until it reaches the end (there may be blank rows though).

I am trying to write a small macro involving Len and Left formulas. This will take input from two cells and and give the value on a third cell. I know how to do this on excel. This goes as follows:
Value on A5 = HB_AM_1
Value on B5 = 1
My formula to extract the specific text =LEFT(A5,LEN(A5)-LEN(B5)-1).
My result on D5= HB_AM
Here, my inputs are clearly defined and I can write this formula on cell D5 to get the result. I can copy this down to the end of my data and I can get my result.
My challenges: I need to do this for various reports where the data extends to various rows. I think looping will solve the problem, but not sure how to do it. The value on cell B5 will always show the last number at the cell A5 (1 in the eg above). So, if the number in A5 is 10, value in B5 will also be 10. This is already there in my data, so I do not worry about this part.

I have a spreadsheet that I am trying to automate, one of the tasks is to sum some columns namely columns O to T. Column B contains the exact number of entries in the columns O to T, therefore I thought that this would be a good counter. The Spreadsheet varies in number of entries every time. In this instance the rows are in total 200 inclusive a header row. ie r below is = to 200. I have tried to record a macro and from that I have tried to replace the pertinent values.
Sub Sel_Sum ()
Dim r As Integer
Dim s As Integer
Dim t As Integer
Dim U As Integer
Range("B1", Range("B65536").End(xlUp)).Select
r = Selection.Rows.Count
s = (r - 1) * -1
t = r + 1
U = -1
Range("O" & t, "T" & t).Select
Selection.FormulaR1C1 = "=SUM(R" & [s] & "C:R" & [u] & "C)" 'fails here
Selection.NumberFormat = "#,##0.00_ ;[Red]-#,##0.00 "
End Sub

I'm using the SolverOk function to automate upon the click of a button. The arguement ValueOf takes the value (58.6) that was keyed into the Solver Parameter menu when I was recording the macro. I'd like the the solver to pick up the figure for ValueOf:= from cell $D$32 instead so that I can just key in any value in $D$32 and then click on the button to get solver to solve for this. I've tried modifying ValueOf:= "$D$32" but the solver still could not pick up the figure from that cell.
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Range("C32").Select
SolverOk SetCell:="$C$32", MaxMinVal:=3, ValueOf:=58.6, ByChange:="$C$33"
SolverSolve
End Sub
End Sub

I am trying to find a way where I can just enter the information into one and have it flood to the other.
worksheetA is the master sheet which contains data on all accounts - the order and number of entries on this account changes monthly.
worksheetB shows data only on a single account.
What I am looking to do is to take the account name from worksheetB find the data I entered in worksheetA and have that flow to the apporitate cells in worksheetB.
Something like this
cell on worksheetB displaying number of vehicles - if worksheetB(cell with the account name) = worksheetA(range of cells with multiplenames) if the two match somewhere on the list then display the number of vehicles from a cell in another coloum same row.
sorry if its confusing, tried my best to explain it. I'm sure it can be done with VB but just don't know that one much, is the syntax and language similar to the old ms basic?

I would like to separate data into multiple workbooks based on a unique value in the column. For instance if I have Departments in Column F, that has data of accounting, HR, etc. I would like to put all accounting data into a accounting workbook and all HR data in a HR workbook.

I have 2 workbooks open and I want to set up formulas from one linking to the other. When I toggle on the task bar between the 2 workbooks they replace each other within the same window so I can only see one workbook at a time. How do I set it up so I can have 2 separate windows open at the same time, one with each workbook in it? I tried 'side by side' in one window but the viewing area is too small.

I have a workbook with multiple sheets and I want to make these sheets into separate workbooks. I need them to be saved in the same path as the original workbook and automatically named (same filenames as worksheet names). I tried a code from a VBA book, and I got "Object needed" error message.

I need a macro that can search a sheet for a match and then copy all 7 cells to the right of the match. I have attached an example of the sheet that will serve as the database to search, and a userform example that will be similar to the userfrom that will display the copied cells when a match is found. I plan to copy and paste the 7 cells to a different sheet so that the userform can display the results with the control source property. I do not need a way to add to this database. I know very little about searching a database so.

I have workbooks based on the date. Here is an example "Daily Numbers Report - Summary_2014_02-18-06-02-30"
All of the files are formatted this way. Then, in a master file I have dates going horizontally for the entire year in the following format Tue Jan 15, etc. How could I do a lookup that would grab from all of the open files and match the date BUT subtract 1 day from that date for all the lookups, so Feb 18 would look at 2-17?

I have a large workbook with many worksheets which are all grouped into pairs - i.e. Sheet1 & Sheet2 go together, Sheet3 & Sheet4 go together; Sheet5 & Sheet6 go together, etc. etc.
I need a macro to divide this workbook into separate workbooks where each group of worksheets has a separate file of its own and I want to name the new workbooks after the second sheet in each group:
i.e. A new workbook for Sheet1 & Sheet2 called Sheet2.xls; a new workbook for Sheet3 & Sheet4 called Sheet4.xls; a new workbook for Sheet5 & Sheet6 called Sheet6.xls; etc. etc. etc.

I have 5 worksheets in file Z on drive J which are full of VLOOKUP formulas pulling data from several files on drive K. Each worksheet pulls data from it's own file on drive K...ie, worksheet AB pulls all of it's data from file AB_2008, etc. On worksheet CD there are two rows which populate with #N/A when I open file Z, but if I open file CD_2008, the #N/A's automatically populate with the correct values. Any ideas??? I am not a programer but I have pretty fair excel skills...but this one has stumped me.
Here's my formula:
=VLOOKUP($A19,'K:sopworkbookssop_2008[sop_2008_rt.xls]11-RT-PPR'!$A:$BQ,C$34,FALSE)

I have created a workbook for a co-worker. The way it works is data comes from an outside source with customer names in Column A and their Account Reps in Column H. This data is pasted into a template that I created with a very simple macro recording that filters on each Account Rep and is copied and pasted each into a different workbook. Then I had to go through each workbook (because of the info being sensitive) and create a macro that deletes the unwanted data because when the data is pasted it transfers all of the data and you can unfilter to see the full sheet.
I know there is a better way to extract data on each change in column H into a new workbook. Does anyone know how to do that? Another issue is the original data is not very clean so there are blank rows in the list. For Example:
CustomerTechnology SegmentOpportunity Dollars ($)Opportunity StatusAction Item(s)(ST) or (LT)Due dateAcct RepCustomer 1Action 1ST3/30/2008ACCustomer 2Technology 1Action 2LTTBDACCustomer 3Technology 2$10,000FindAction 3LTTBDACCustomer 4Technology 3FindAction 4LTTBDBHCustomer 5Technology 4FindAction 5LT1/31/2008BHCustomer 6$30,000Action 6LTTBDBHCustomer 7Action 7LTTBDMJCustomer 8Technology 5$10,000QualifiedAction 8ST3/1/2008MJCustomer 9Technology 6QualifiedAction 9ST2/28/2008CGCGCustomer 10Technology 7$18,000FindAction 10ST3/1/2008CGCustomer 11Technology 8$10,000QualifiedAction 11ST3/30/2008BHCustomer 12Technology 9FindAction 12LTTBDACCustomer 13FindAction 13LT3/15/2008AC

I need to copy a range of cells from various columns/rows from 1 sheet into 6 other sheets, but into a specfic range of cells(in the same workbook). I am looking for a code which would copy the cells, then allow me to save the sheets it has copied them to as seperate workbooks without loosing the values it copied. I would also like to make amendments to the cells which have been copied onto the other sheets, without having an error message if I type anything into the cells, also having any blank cells left blank rather than placing the 'o' value in the cell.

I'm linking some data from 2 workbooks in the same folder (using excel 2013)
I have a main rota that works great, called "Main Rota.xlsm" I then have a separate basic file called Email Rota.xlsx without all of the bells and whistles of the Main Rota, purley made to email out to staff.
I store both files in the same folder "Site Rota" and it works fine.... until I rename the folder or move the folder to my laptop.
The link in the Email Rota looks like so to start (calling cell A3 from the Main Rota) ='[Main Rota.xlsm]Planning Rota'!A3
As I said it works fine until I move the folder onto my laptop the link then changes to
='D:DesktopSite Rota[Main Rota.xlsm]Planning Rota'!A3
And I have to keep updating the link, I have read online that it isn't supposed to work like this and its supposed to read the file "cleverly" in the same folder ?
I would ideally like to keep both files in the same folder and to update from visa versa without having to update the links if I move it from PC to laptop with I do daily .

The Search function works well for what I need and it helps me to locate data. When using the search function somehow it search all sheets within the workbook but I only want it to search an array of sheets when using this macro that is needed to complete the task for what I'm after.

I'm from Bavaria, Germany. Right now, I am doing an internship for my studies. my problem: I need a search procedure which shows an Input Box where you can enter a word to search for. It should work like the original Excel search (Ctrl-F), but with a simpler design, like with my own Text "Enter your Query" and a Button "Submit Query" / "Quit search". Is there the possibility to Highlight the Search Target? The problem hereby is that this highlighting should not be permanent. That means the user sees the target for which he searched for, the cell highlighted in a different color, etc. But as soon as the user clicks onto another cell, etc., the highlighting vanishes. If there is no fitting match, there should be a MessageBox like "Sorry the Target xyz cannot be found"

So the problem is that I have two workbooks: one has a set of identifying values which are a subset of one of the sets of values in the second and I need to match them up. In addition I need to take the values two columns to the right of the matched values in the second workbook and put them in the first.
Here is what my formula looks like now.
=IF(A5=VLOOKUP(A5,'[WBOOK2]Sheet1'!$A:$A,1,TRUE),INDEX('[WBOOK2]Sheet1'!,MATCH(A5,'[WBOOK2]Sheet1'!$A:$A,0),3),"NF")
Whenever I try to run it an error message comes up and highlights the match function name.
