Match Some Strings, To See If An Entry Is Already Included In A Master List Or Not..
Aug 27, 2009
I am trying to match some strings, to see if an entry is already included in a master list or not. I'm running into problems with some cells that have the EXACT same string, from what I can tell (a text ticker symbol) yet a MATCH or VLOOKUP won't return anything. Has anyone ever encountered anything like this? Worksheet attached with an example
I sent this before but the formula I was given wasn't correct (as you will see from the file). In Column B of the second sheet (Data) of the attached file, I want to bring back the relevant name form the first sheet (List), which involves searching through the long descriptions from column A on the Data sheet for the name on the List sheet.
how i can select the most recent 10 cells from a list of data to be included in a formula. I have selected it manually, for example F122:F131. This is fine but i don't know how i can put it so that it will update to the 10 most recent results when i input another line of data. So when i put in more data it stays on the previously selected. I want it to move shift down to include the new data but only the 10 most recent.
How do I setup one "master cell" to be used as the permanent entry point for dollar values of all entries performed as needed....and have that value be automatically added to the cell of the month reflecting the day the data was entered?
I am looking to keep track of purchases on a monthly basis. (e.g. I have 35 receipts for today...I just want to grab one at a time, enter the total for each receipt in one cell and have it add the value to which ever month's value based on the day I enter it.
I am having a sheet where I keep track of when online surveys have been sent to users. The users enail address (column K) may be on the list for several times, but I need to make sure that there is at least a 7 days pause between sending the first mail and the second, depending on the visit date (column G).If there are less than 7 days between two entries with the same email address, the user is not qualified for taking another survey.
I was thinking to write an IF formula which returns either 1 or 0 and then let conditional formatting highlight and HIDE the row via a VBA loop.
in two seperate worksheet i download external data from 2 different website with some stats about teams. Problem is that theses websites user slighty different names for the teams ie. it will be man city from one source and manchester city from another. i need to somehow get the names to match up is there an easy way to do this?
I have a worksheet with two pivot tables, one of which is visible to the user. Ideally, the user should be able to change the "Row Label" field settings of the visible pivot table and then press an "update button" that then adds the same field to the second pivot table.
Ideally, the ordering of the fields should also be made similar between the two tables, though this is of less priority.
I imagine it would be something in the style of:
"If number of Pivot1 active row label fields = X then Pivot 2.AddRowLabelField = Pivot1.RowLabelField(X) end if"
I'm writing quite a large electronic logging program using excel and vba and have hit a snag in one of my subs which reads from a text init file. Let's take a look at the code.
Private Sub ReadInit() 'Opens txt init file, looks for target list, splits line by commas and enters into array
Dim FileNumber As Integer Dim TargetsRead As Boolean, LastFileRead As Boolean
Set ObjFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set objFile = ObjFSO.OpenTextFile(SaveDir & Init)
TargetsRead = False LastFileRead = False Do Until objFile.AtEndOfStream 'do until end of file
Am trying to use index match to return value in column B based on matching 2 first chars on the left in column A.
Col A Col B POS Majalt POS Minalt POS Instinctive NB Viral NB Sierra NB Pierce CLM Team1 CLM Team2 OS Tr1 OS Tr2 HR Tetra HR Pentagon IT penelope
Cell C1 : NBA MyFormula : {=INDEX(B:B,MATCH(LEFT(C1,2),"*"&$A:$A&"*",0))} <<== I need to find the match of NB only in range A:A to return the related values in Col B.
Expected Result:
NB Viral NB Sierra NB Pierce
Other than formula stated above, I've also tried with Isnumber(search), etc but all return errors.
I have a spreadsheet with 60k lines. One of the columns contains barcodes as per the example below, with a suffix of -XXX-XXX where the XXX are numbers. I want to highlight all the cells where the -XX-XX are the same number (as in the example below -303-303) how I can do this with a formula as I've around 30 spreadsheets each with 60,000 lines I need to sort through?
I have a SS with 700 rows. 2 columns (Col K and L) may or may not contain text in their cells. If the cells do have text, I want to check for the presence of keywords which could be anywhere within the text, and if I find match write the matching word in Column I. Example: I want to seach for the following strings Loaned, injured, suspended etc ... in the range the K4-K700. Lets say Cell K50 contains the text Injured - broken bones. As the word injured is a match I want to write the word injured to cell I50 In addition if Cell K50 has text and Cell L50 does not, i want to put the text "NEW" in I50, and the reverse if Cell L50 has text and Cell K50 does not i want to put the text "recovered" in I 50. Following formula (in each cell in Col I) does this job currently. Can't figure out how to redo this in VBA, and wondering if checking the 700 rows will cause Vba to be slower.
I've attached a sample excel for what I'm looking to do. Basically, based off a search box(drop down), I'd like to automatically populate a list of non-blank ingredients in another list.
I need to create a mailing list for people located in a specific area from a master list.
The address data is not in great shape so I need to check address field 2 and address field 3 in the list to see if the suburb in the location tab appears in either of the two fields.
Desired result appears in column F of the List tab of the attached spreadsheet.
I am trying to create a sub-list from a master list based on a column criteria. Basically, we have a large group of people that are now being split into 3 different sub groups, but still part of the whole. I would like to only upkeep the master list by assigning one of 3 managers to each employee and then having Excel place the employee's info (5 columns) into a seperate worksheet based on the manager assigned (3 seperate worksheets, one for each manager). I have searched through books and Excel help, but still cannot find any formula that can return multiple lines based on one criteria. Am I out of luck and forced to maintain this database with an Auto Filter and manually moving/copying the info?
I am working on a project and would like to see if there is a solution for it. i have a workbook that has data entry that is summarized at a master level but I need to automatically use a formula to update another sheet after clicking an udpate button. The data from the data entry sheet needs to be allocated to all the lines that has the same master item based on the formula. A test workbook is attached ...
i want the compile all information from few sheet (20) with same format on daily basis based on due and CF status cash flow. the format as below as the result will same as original format,
I have about 360 records in Column 1 and less columns in Column 2 (333 in this case). All the values in Column 2 are in Column 1. I need to be able to match those two columns up while keeping the data in Column 3 intact with it's corresponding value in Column 2. FYI I searched and found this thread: ttp://www.excelforum.com/excel-work...n-another.html
But my problem is that I have to tie in the values with column 3 to their corresponding values in column 2. In order to illustrate, I have attached an excel file in which I did the operation manually. (note: all values in column 2 are indeed in column 1 but not in the example as I have shown for the sake of convenience).
I have a combo box with match entry = 1, Is it possible to select an item from the list when I start typing parts of the item. I have a large list and don’t always know the beginning characters. Example, I type foq and in the combo box it goes to Ets.Foquet. I have already tried typing a * and so on. Before, *foq, #foq
how I can keep a running total of information added to a different worksheetS. They would not always be the same peson ID so I would like to return a match on any unique ID number found on multiple worksheets and add their values on a master front sheet. i.e this becomes a running total of items purchased per ID number.
I am usuing INDEX and MATCH to pull back employees hours from a master sheet, I am asking excel to Index, matiching firstly the agents name and then the day of the week (Formatted: Mon,Tue,Wed,Thurs,Fri,Sat,Sun). This works perfectly for every day of the week using the following formuls except for Sun where it returns #REF!
I want to be able to look up and match several values in my worksheet to confirm, that an entry is valid. I would like the test to return an OK / NOT_OK value at the end of each entry. In the attached file you will find four different variables. In order to include an entry, it must be matched to find related entries, before it can be included.
For an entry to be OK, it must contain a company that has been listed in the same industry, in four different quarters (not necessarily in the same year). A company can be listed in several industries, but as long as there are not four entries in the same industry in four different quarters, the entries are not yet OK (hence NOT_OK). Therefore the only entries that are valid in the attached file are:
Company A Q1 2009 Administration OK Company A Q2 2009 Administration OK Company A Q3 2009 Administration OK Company A Q4 2009 Administration OK
I work in XL 2007, but have converted the attachment to 2003 for maximum compatibility.
I have a ComboBox (cmbJobNo) in excel which lists a series of numbers. By using the code below other TextBoxes are automatically filled with related text once the ComboBox number is selected. On typing a number in the ComboBox the number is predicted, which is great except when a number is not sequential. Say the number is 15304 (the next number in list is 15315), when 1530 is entered, 15304 is predicted and VBA jumps to the next data entry Textbox, the data entry person then enters 4 (they type a lot faster than me, without looking), which is incorrect for that box.
VBA does not allow the complete number to be entered. If I turn off MatchEntry the other related textboxes txtClient and txtProject) do not automatically update when number is entered. What can I do to allow complete number to be entered and related Textboxes updated after number entry?
Private Sub cmbJobNo_Change()
If cmbJobNo.ListIndex > -1 Then txtClient = Format( Range("Jobs").Cells(cmbJobNo.ListIndex + 1, 2), "0") ...............
Need to do (preferrably as a UDF so I can call it many times and build the macro I really need) the following string testing macro. For a given column (B) - look to the field immediately to the left for a text string. This string will be searched for a list of other strings contained in Column D ( cells D1:D5). We want a case insenstive SEARCH (or find I suppose in macro terms) to return a true if the strings are found or false if it is not. Example test string in cell B1 would be:
I have managed to set up a dynamic range called "Managers" which is held in a worksheet named "Lists" to validate entries in Col D of a worksheet named "PartTimeStaff" -
I also have 2 userforms which either add or delete managers names from the dynamic range, this all works well.
What I need to do when using the Delete form is to check that the managers name is not selected in any cell of Col D in the "PartTimeStaff" worksheet - this is to ensure the user has reassigned the records to another manager before deleting selected manager on ListBox1within this form.
The code which runs from a command button is below
Private Sub cmbDelete_Click()
Dim i As Integer Dim SelectionsIndex() As String Dim ArraySize As Integer Dim RowToDelete As String
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
With Sheet2 .Visible = True .Activate End With
Set ManagerStartRng = Range("A3")
Application.EnableEvents = False
If MsgBox("Are you sure you want to delete this manager?" & vbCr & vbCr & _ "This action cannot be undone!", vbQuestion + vbYesNoCancel, "Confirm Delete") = vbYes Then
I am trying to create my own budgeting tool. I have most of the tracker set up but I hit a stumbling block. I downloaded transations from Bank of America as a CSV file into excel. I want to categorize these transactions.
I created a keyword list that has words like "Starbucks" "Exxon" etc. Each of these keywords is then listed next to a category like "food" and "gas". So I want a formula that will compare the transactions to my keyword list and return the category type. Here is an example transaction:
CHECKCARD 0256 STARBUCKS USA 00029801 GAINESVILLE VA
I have a keyword "Starbucks" in f2 and "food" in g2.
I have searched the forum but can't find an answer to my problem. I have a list of about 3000 streets, a sample of which follows:
ARBROATH ST ARCOLA ST ARGO PL ARIES PL ARMSTRONG AVE ARTHUR AVE ARVIN CT ASHGROVE CR ASHLEY GROVE CT ASHWORTH AVE...................
I know how to populate a List Box, but rather than having to scroll through the entire lot I would like to just have to type in a few letters and the output only display streets that start with only those letters. For example, if I type in AS only the following appear in the listbox.
ASHGROVE CR ASHLEY GROVE CT ASHWORTH AVE........................
I have a set of unique customer names in a column A, say A1 to A200 in my data sheet. These customers have route numbers assigned to them (defined by the client) column B - B1 to B200. The route no.s are 1,2,3,4,5,6,7, & 8. The column lists can be of varying lengths but no more than 500 rows. I want to relate the routes to 8 separate sheets in the workbook. In each sheet I want to extract a column of customers based on the route number. So if the first customer in column A is route '1' (column B) it populates the first entry in sheet 'Route 1' with the customer name as so on for the rest of the sheets.
I am trying to create a master list in a new sheet based on the data contained in 4 separate tabs. The data is Username, Display Name, Company. Unfortunately some users have accounts in 2 of the companies (with the same username) and I need these to default to Company A.
The output need to be username, Display Name, Company.
