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.

Selecting The Most Recent 10 Cells From A List Of Data To Be Included In A Formula?

Jan 3, 2014

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 Make One Master Cell For Data Entry

Feb 21, 2009

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.

Check If Any Entry In List Older Than 7 Days - Delete Second Double Entry?

Sep 11, 2013

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.

VBA - Adjust Pivot Table Included Fields To Match Another Pivot Table

Mar 14, 2013

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"

Match Characters In Two Strings, Then Write To Cell

Aug 1, 2007

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.

=IF(OR(TEXT(LEFT(OFFSET(I22,0,2,1,1),6),"DDDDDD")="Loaned",TEXT(LEFT(OFFSET(I22,0,2,1,1),6),"DDDDDD")="Transf"),
"Loaned",
IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("susp",OFFSET(I22,0,2,1,1))),
"Suspended",
IF(AND(ISBLANK(OFFSET(I22,0,2,1,1)),ISBLANK(OFFSET(I22,0,3,1,1))),
"",
IF(ISTEXT(OFFSET(I22,0,2,1,1))=ISTEXT(OFFSET(I22,0,3,1,1)),
"Ongoing",
IF(ISTEXT(OFFSET(I22,0,2,1,1))=TRUE,
IF(ISTEXT(OFFSET(I22,0,3,1,1))=FALSE,
"New"),
"Recovered")))))

Filtering A List In A New Worksheet From A Master List

May 28, 2009

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?

Match Values In One Column To Values In Another With A 3rd Column Included

Nov 26, 2009

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).

Look Up And Match Several Values To Include Entry

Feb 9, 2010

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.

Combobox Match Entry Property

Nov 29, 2007

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 am a string of test data to check.

Terms in D1:D5 might be:
dog
cat
bird
data
fowl

Cell B1 should return a TRUE as a match.

Match Listbox Item To Column Entry

Aug 20, 2007

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

How Can I Compare Strings To A Keyword List And Return A 3rd Value

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.

Match ListBox/ComboBox Entry As User Types

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

Produce Lists From Master List

Oct 24, 2011

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.
