View 10 RepliesI would simply like a Macro to 'find' or search keyword data in a spreadsheet and copy the chosen rows and past them into a new excel sheet. I want to be able to do that as many time as I need, currently I have the following code, it does not seem to work well for me, I can only use it to search one time, cause an error after that
Sub FindIt()
Dim rngWB As Range, c As Range
Dim strFind As String, firstAddress As String
Dim wsCount As Integer, ws As Integer
Dim rw As Long
strFind = Application.InputBox("Type in the name you wish to find.", "FindIt", Type:=2)
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
Worksheets.Add(After:=Worksheets(Worksheets.Count)).Name = "Blank"
Sheets(1).Select...................................
this line
Cells. Find(What:=searchterm, After:=Cells(1, 1), MatchCase:=False).Activate 'find pn that is stored in searchterm
causes a runtime error 91 when there are no results. "Object variable or with block variable not set"
Ideally, when there are no results, I would like to enter a loop, where I could provide a drop down list of fuzzy matches, but I am not sure excel can do fuzzy matches. I'd settle for just highlighting the row and moving on... any help?
Option Explicit
Sub Macro1()
ActiveSheet.Cells.Find(What:="AES", After:=Cells(1, 1), MatchCase:=False).Activate 'find the aes part number column
Dim aescolumn 'create variable for index value of aes column
aescolumn = ActiveCell.Column 'set variable to index number
I am having trouble getting my IF statement to test if the cell contains the text "sale" return "X" if not "Y". I need it to search through the text string in that cell and find a certain word, and if it finds that word, retrn a value. I am really having difficulty with is what symbol or function do I use for the logical test? (i.e. =, <>, MATCH, INDEX?)

I need a code in VBA that can find the 1st cell in col A that contains "SW" and store the number in col B as V1= # then find the 4th cell in col A that contains "SW" and store the number in col B as V2= #.
so that i can do some math with the numbers. The code should result in 10-15
I have a cell in workbook X on Sheet1 (cell AB3) that states which columns should be exported from workbook X on Sheet3 to a new workbook. The value of cell AB3 on Sheet1 changes based on what a user selects in some check boxes on Sheet1. I would like my macro to read the value of cell AB3 and interpret it is a range reference of which columns to copy from Sheet3 into a new workbook. The problem I'm having is knowing what line(s) of code I would use in VB to read cell AB3 as a range and what kind of referencing rules I need cell AB3 to contain. Right now this is what the cell looks like to the user:
Code: Sheet3'(A:A,B:B,E:E,F:F).Select
For cell AB3 to look this way I'm just using some hard coded text, such as the sheet number and .Select, plus some concatenated values in between. Perhaps this text string needs to be modified, but I'm also wondering what I would use in my macro to reference the cell and read it as reference to which columns to select in Sheet3.
If I want to select a cell in another worksheet I'm currectly doing this:

in cell a1 i have a random number we shal say it is 57
in cell b1 the same we shall say it is 8
i need to select worksheet a1 and cell b1
sheet57!8
sheet(a1!b1)
i know this is pretty lame but why do i get an error message when i use...
Sheets("Sheet2").Select
Range("A1").Select
the error message is run time error 1004, application -defined or object-defined error.
i want to activate cell A1 so that i can use it as a location for referencing another cell using offset.
I have made the macro that does as ,soon as i open the file, select today's date but only if date is in sheet5... sheet 5 is may so it works. Doing the same job for every sheet in the file.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI have absolutely no idea how to get starting on this one. I've got a long string in cell B1. At some point there is the word "oms:SomeString," (without the quotes). I need to know whether SomeString is somewhere in the active sheet or not (the workbook running the VBA-code is not the active sheet). I can't just compare the cell B1 because it contains multiple words. Any hints are very welcome.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have at database which i want to search in... The problem is that i wanted to search in specific cells, or ranges. So i made a for loop searching for words in one range.. But it doesn't work.
For i = 0 To antal - 1 Step 1
Worksheets("Søg").Select
If Range("B5") = "X" Then
Sheets("Database").Select
c = InStr(1, Range("B" & 2 + anRow * i), sgbygsag, 1)
Sheets("Søg").Select
Range("A1") = c
End If
Next
anRow is the delimiter between to databases. And sgbygsag is the string i am searching for, i have made sure that this really is a string. No matter what I do this code sets Range("A1") to "0".
When recording a macro, how would I have it record me searching for a word in a cell, then select the two rows beneath it so that I can hide/unhide the hidden rows?
The reason it has to search for the word in the cell is that with changes above, the rows keep getting bumped further and further down (i.e., a moving target).
how i can go about finding the next empty row (and select the first cell of that row (column A))? edit: It probably should be noted that there are cells in Columns A through P. There are rows where all and/or just one cell contains data per row. So i cannot use a " lookup" based on a single column.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm using the following code. It works fine when it comes to selecting the cell. However, I'm not sure how to bring the view of the worksheet such that the selected cell is in the middle of the sheet. I've the data horizontally laid out from column A to column BM. So, when someone makes a change in Sheet2 I need to point to the corresponding column in Sheet1 such that it is in the view.
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim CellName As String
CellName = Range("A1").Value
[Code]....
I seem to running into dead ends with each previous post concerning this similar idea, despite brave efforts of kind people . . .
So here is another thought: As the title suggests, can one help me with code that would take the value in (say) Sheet1A1 (Say Harry) and use that value to search for a sheet with that name (Harry) in the same workbook and then link to that sheet, cell A1 (Harry!A1)?

I am trying to write a macro, in VBA, that would select the proper worksheet, based on the value of a cell.

I am trying to come up with a macro that will search a range for a specific string of text plus Interior.ColorIndex = 4. The range can have the text in it multiple times but i only want the macro to fire the next line of it if the cell address also has that color. Is there a way that can be done? My code below stops after it finds its first occurrence of the string and moves on to the next lookup. How do i make it look for not only the value but the index color?

macro find parenthesis and remove string in every other cell in Col.A
The following formula works but is tedious to apply to every other cell:
=LEFT(A3,FIND("(",A3)-2)
Data Example:
Cell Value A2 = hello world I am A2 (this is an example)
Cell Value A3 = hello world I am A2
Then Delete the entire row A2 and apply this to every other A.Col.cell with the original data.
I would like to find a text string in a document, move the information in the cell to the right of this to another cell (say A1).

I have a large database of equipment on one sheet and an input form on another. For inventory control, when a user scans a number into the input form, the main inventory sheet is updated with the current location. I have it working using functions, but I need to do this in VBA. I am looking to do the following;
User enters 2222 on the input form. The code matches 2222 on the inventory sheet, moves the activecell 10 columns and updates a value in that cell. Cell A2343 is "2222" then Cell K2343 is changed to "WAREHOUSE 4". What is the best way to find the match and then select that cell in VBA?
I've scoured the internet for this answer and have not found a formula that works.
I have a list of domain names/URLs in column A of workbook 1:

I want to determine if the cells in column A workbook one contain any of the strings in workbook 2 - note that I need to look at the string, not the entire cell in workbook one. If there is a match, true, if not, false for that cell within workbook one.
It's sort of a reverse array lookup with text. It seems that cross workbook and text is what causes the challenge.
I have multiple tables like the one in the picture and have to duplicate this code for different known ranges.
View 11 Replies View RelatedI have a client list in a table in my excel sheet. I currently enter the clients in a sheet that looks similar to a form. After the clients info is in this Form I have a button with a macro to copy the client info into a table on another sheet. This works perfectly.
Now I have another form that will retrieve the customers info in a click of a button in order to make changes to the client. Ei:I now have a second phone number and I want to update that client's info. What I want to do from here is take the info in Cell B2 (clients full Name), Do a vLookup in the "Saved Clients Table" in a Range within my table range. (Range: Saved Clients and the client's full name is in $A:$A and called "Clients Full Name" and once that name is found I need to select the cell in column C and the corresponding row.
This will allow me to copy the info in my form, Paste it in Transpose to the cell that is selected. (I already have that code)

I'm using a button in my sheet to jump around to standard locations in each worksheet. Generally in the active worksheet I have these three buttons working perfectly.
However I have one button that takes you from the worksheet into the dashboard. The problem is if you had scrolled the dashboard around you may be put at your last place. I want the screen to jump to and center on R1C1
