How To Replace Cell Value From A List
Apr 23, 2013
I have the following data in sheet 1. In Sheet 2, column A contains a list of data.
What I need to do is to compare data in Column C (sheet 1) to Column A (sheet 2).
If it matches, then Cell value in A will change to be the same value as B.
For example, range C1 of sheet 1 matches that of Range A2 in Sheet 2, then range A1 of Sheet 1 becomes the value of B1.
How can I use VBA to achieve this? Do note the data in Sheet 1 and sheet 2 changes all the time. It can be more or less.
Sheet 1
A
B
C
D
11
12
TH
[Code]..
Sheet 2
A
B
GG
TH
AA
HE
My desired results:
A
B
C
D
12
12
TH
[Code]...

I want to replace the values in column A if a unique value is identified on a particular row. Here's some sample data from Column A
A2= 01/16 Petsmart Inc 1372 Miami FL Card 7777
A3= 02/13 Sir Nicks Brodhead WI Card 7777
A4= 01/05 Canal Center Walk C37436 Orlando Fl Card 7777
A5= 01/24 Shell Oil 5744417710 Atlanta GA Card 7777
A6= 8/12 05 Canal Center Walk C37436 Orlando Fl Card 7777
A7=09/01 05 Canal Center Walk C37436 Orlando Fl Card 7777
A8=12/21 Top Deck Bridges C37436 Denver CO Card 7777
Here's my list in cells D2:D6
Canal Center Walk
PetSmart
Sir Nicks
Top Deck Cafe
I created a list of values in Column D then created the below formula in column B and replicated it down.
=IFERROR(INDEX(D$2:D$6,MATCH(TRUE,SEARCH(D$2:D$6,A2)=1)),A2)
What I would like the formula to do is look at the list in column D. If a particular row shows a match for that text string it will populate that value in column B, but delete everything preceding the text value and after.
Ex: A2 = 01/16 Petsmart Inc 1372 Miami FL Card 7777
B2 should = Petsmart

Im hoping there is an Excel Formula (not VBA Code) solution to this problem.
I understand how to use the Substitute command in Excel, but I would like to be able to provide a list of words and have the Substitute command use that list to replace every occurrence within a given cell with a blank ("").
The twist to this is, that the List of Words will be Dynamic, and thus the formula will need to account for that.
NOTE: the formula should NOT replace parts of words, e.g., if the List Word is "can" and the cell to be evaluated contains "candle" the formula should NOT replace the "can" in "candle" with "". Only whole word matches should be replaced.

I am trying to create a macro where it finds a a certain word in a column for example C. What i want it to do is find anything that says FWD_EUR and then replace that cell (e.g C2) with CASH_EUR_FWD and after it has done that it replaces the adjacent cell (e.g. D2) with EUR_FWD. I then want this to do the same with FWD_USD to CASH_USD_FWD and adjacent cell to USD_FWD.

I have 2 lists and need replace the numbers in List 1 if they appear in List 2. If they do not match to list 2 then keep the number in List 1. I have attached a excel worksheet as an example. So cell B4 needs to be replaced by Amount in Cell F9. Also Cell B7 needs to be replaced by number in F5.

I have over 16000 cells with different information in them, each cell is unique. There are parts of these cells that have similar information.
I am looking to search part of the cell, and replace the whole cell with my new description, so I can run pivot tables on it.

I have to convert an old dos program file to excel. I already have the list in excel but the text is in strange symbols. I know which symbol represents which
letter. As have many files to convert each time I need a makro which would save me lot of time. I have two worksheets: "1" and "2". I need a makro which replaces symbols in sheet "1" Column A through key list in sheet "2".

I am working on data that needs to be cleansed of the symbols i.e. *&/- etc so I am hoping that I can automate this as their are over 30,000 rows of data and takes time to go through each find and replace.

See attached spreadsheet, in sheet 1, yellow columns are for restricted cells and Sheet 2 contains the lists for such columns' validation range. Sub-Strategy is dependent on the choice made from Main-Strategy, e.g. if Main-startegy = EquityHedge, then the choices for sub-strategy can only choose Long Biased, Low Beta & opportunistic. But I also have a "Other" category under Main Strategy, Sheet 2 cell G1, if this is chosen then I would like to remove the data validation in the sub-strategy column, (i.e. u can input anything for sub-strategy) how can I do this?

This problem has come up fairly frequently lately, and I'm not sure how to fix it, or if this is by design...but in Excel 2003 I can't seem to do a "Find and Replace" based on the value of a cell. I can do a find, based on cell value, but the moment I change to the replace tab, the "values" and "comments" are missing from the "look in" dropdown.
I've only noticed this when I'm trying to replace on a filtered list, so I'm not sure if that is part of the issue.
Perhaps an alternative way of arriving at the same goal. Basically I have a worksheet with a number of filtered columns. They are filtered just right, using custom filtering, and so I do not want to undo the filters. In some columns I have formulas that are returning #VALUE! errors. I'd like to replace all of these cells with NA.

I recently became owner of a spreadsheet with some issues, and I am trying to make it useful. Each row has a URL of a blog post, and I want to extract the date from it (which is present in each URL) while getting rid of the rest of the URL. I was able to get rid of everything up to the year (which comes first), but then the URL continues, for example, 2013/05/16/the-rest-of-the-url/ and I would like to just have 2013/05/16 remain.
I am trying to use find and replace with the find box reading 2013/??/??/*/ and replacing it with 2013/??/?? which effectively erases everything else in the url, but leaves ?? instead of the numbers. Is there any way to have it so that it keeps whatever was in the original box?

[Code] .....
Trying to repeat a 550 or so character statement with a find/replace however I am getting type mismatch errors. When I use a smaller message in the "replace" it works.
I need it to post a message exactly as long as what I have in there. How do I get it to work?

Need assistance with the code for catching errors when using the find / replace function in excel? In particular, I am trying to write code to break to an error message when the value or string searched for isn't found in the find / replace. At the minute I have just copied the standard code using a macro and all this does is return a message box saying X entries replaced.

I have values in row A and I have values in row C. I want to create a loop to look up xxx and replace it with the values consecutively in row C. Look at example for a better Idea. I found a way to find and replace, but I not sure how to use it with qoutes. I was thinking maybe I dont even need row A and just supply a list and excel could have the chunk of data in the code itself.

I am working with a spreadsheet that has our user data; User(First) Name, User(Last) name, Computer Name, MAC address, Phone Number, Seating Position and Network Port Number.
I have let this get horribly out of sync, moved computers around, and moved them while the MAC address column was hidden, As a result, I have a bunch of users listed as being at the wrong computer. I have a second spreadsheet I generated that gives me the logged in user for about 2/3 of my computers, with the computer name(Just 2 columns, 'A' and 'B'. I would like to have Excel match the computer name and then overwrite the user name. For example, if the first computer in my correct user list is DELL-99945ty2, and the user name is "Jimbo Jones", I would like it to search the first Excel doc(The one with all of the user data), and replace the user name with "Jimbo Jones". Is this simple and straightforward?
In my main spreadsheet, the user name is in column B and the computer name is in column G, So I want to use the values from Column B in my second document to find its match in Column G of the first spreadsheet, and then replace the data in Column B with Column A in the first spreadsheet.

multiple search match and replace content in a different column so for example
new workbook (look up table)
sku
search1
search2
[Code]....
so something like where you compare two tables and find and replace based on another cell that matches in my sku.. more details would be if the table column aren't exactly matching but the column header and the row header would match and fill or replace in the correct/corresponding cell is there a macro or vba to do this job in excel?

I need to find the "x" in range C2:C44 and replace it with a value (variable) specified in cell I2
The catch is that I then need to be ablt to change that character when I2 changes.
Coloum C
*VER
*T’x’STATUS
*ON
*OFF
*T’x’BANDS
EG
I2 - Variable = B
*T’x’STATUS will become *T’B’STATUS
I2 - Variable = A
*T’x’STATUS will become *T’A’STATUS
But " *OFF " should not change.
I can change *T’x’STATUS to *T’B’STATUS but then I can change *T’B’STATUS to *T’A’STATUS
Please see attached example file as it shows it better than I can explain it.

I have a file that I import into excel and append to the end of the last free position, However my totals are slightly out when compared to the main system.
I have found the reason why, they randomly slips in a Credit or credits.
So I have the scenario column P has a txt field and the majority of the time it has SI (Invoice) however when they issue a credit the txt becomes SC.
The annoying bit is that Column L has a value but it is not a negative number i.e. 75 where it should be -75
I can do an iF then and find the SC or SC's and I can place some text in Column L but I would like to be able to take the value in L and make it a negative number.

I found the below code and have tried adapting it without success.
Code:
Sub Colorize_Word()
Dim Found As Range, FirstFound As String
Dim FindWhat As String, MyColor As Long, Counter As Integer
MyColor = 3
FindWhat = LCase(InputBox("Find what word?", "Color word"))
[Code] ..........
This code finds any string in a cell of your choice and colors it red. I would really like to replace the string with my own string of text. I couldn't use the simple find and replace function as this replaces the WHOLE cell content not just one word.
I believe the line of code that needs editing most is this one
Do
Found.Characters(Counter, Len(FindWhat)).Font.ColorIndex = MyColor
Counter = InStr(Counter + 1, LCase(Found), FindWhat)
But I cannot figure out how to use the replace function with this.

I'm wanting to use Excel's built in replace function to replace ANY date with "Call:"
I'm not going to go into details about why, but I cannot use a code, as I only want to change them at specific times.
The dates are currently formatted as 12/09/2009. So I need to change the 12/09/2009 and any other date there may be to "call:" without having to go through every possible date.
