Search For Text Delete This Row And Delete The Row For Every Instance
Apr 29, 2008
I have an formula if statement that returns "deletethisrow" if the test is true.
For every occurence of "deletethisrow" I want to delete the row. The number instances will be variable each time I run the file. So maybe it will find that string, maybe it will find 10 instances. I want to do some kind of loop that won't error out when it cannot find "deletethisrow", but will delete the rows for each instance where it does find this string.
I know it was verbose, but if I just do a loop for a fixed number of loops it will error out if it runs out of rows to delete.
Here is what Im trying to do: I have a VERY large excel file (15,000+ lines) that has groups of text (this is all in one column)
I want excel to search for the cells with "UID" and delete that row plus every non-blank row above it. (so it deletes the entire "group") Here is example layout of what Im working with. The end result should be only "groups" without the text "UID" following it.
ExampleCell1 ExampleCell2 ExampleCell3 UID = example
ExampleCell1 ExampleCell2 ExampleCell3
ExampleCell1 ExampleCell2 ExampleCell3 UID = example
Now Im thinking this may be impossible, but I've seen some crazy things done with excel macros and was really hoping someone can help me out. Otherwise Im doing this manually for 15,000 lines of text.
Here is what Im trying to do: I have a VERY large excel file that has groups of 4 cells, a blank, then another 4, repeating. Kinda like the following:
ExampleCell1 ExampleCell2 ExampleCell3 UID = example
ExampleCell1 ExampleCell2 ExampleCell3
ExampleCell1 ExampleCell2 ExampleCell3 UID = example
That pattern continues for about 3000 lines. However, if you noticed, some of the "groups" dont have the 4th line "UID = example".
Here is what Im trying to do. I want excel to search for the cells with "UID" and DELETE it plus the 3 rows above. So that only the "groups" without the UID remain.
Now Im thinking this may be impossible, but I've seen some crazy things done with excel macros and was really hoping someone can help me out. Otherwise Im doing this manually for 3000+ lines of text.
I have a list of product numbers in col. A. In col. O I have a list of file names that contain the product numbers as well as additional characters. I need a formula that will search col O for the first instance of the text in cell A2 and return that value.
The next formula will return all instances that contain the text found in A2.
These values are also contained in column Q among/with many other values. I am looking for a script that will find these 4 values in column Q and delete them by shifting the cells up. I need something like:
Look A1, If the same value exist in Q column Then delete the same value cell in Q and shift cells up Look A2, If the same value exist in Q column Then delete the same value cell in Q and shift cells up Look A3, If the same value exist in Q column Then delete the same value cell in Q and shift cells up Look A3, If the same value exist in Q column Then delete the same value cell in Q and shift cells up
I trying to search for a string in Excel and then delete that row. The code below will do that but I am also looking to delete the next row line out as well. .
Dim ws As Worksheet Dim lRow As Long Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("DSS")
Sub test1() Dim LR As Long, i As Long LR = Range("E" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
[Code]....
I would like this to run over all of the following E F G H I J K L M N O P Basically it is getting rid of any numbers in the sheet and cleaning the following cells up.
I'm trying to create a function that will search for a certain value and if that true, delete certain cells in the same row. So far, I've come with the following and not sure how to write particular line.
So this function will go through column G and count the rows since it could have 1 or 50,000. So for example if column G2 has a value anything other then "Pending" then I need cell T2:Z2 to be deleted.
I know this line is the source of error Rng("T & Rows.Count:Z & Rows.Count").Select but I don't know how to express it.
Sub Check_Status() Dim iLastRow As Integer Dim Rng As Range iLastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, "G").End(xlUp).Row For Each Rng In Range("G1:G" & iLastRow) If Not Rng.Value = "Pending" Then Rng("T & Rows.Count:Z & Rows.Count").Select Selection.ClearContents End If Next
I have Column Headers in Row 1 (except column A), What I need to do is write a Macro or some code to
1.Search the entire row 1 for column headers containing the suffix _CSV and delete the entire columns. 2.Shift all remaining columns to the left so no blank columns exist. (There is a time stamp in row A that I wish to keep where it is.)
Next I would like a separate routine to sort the columns in the order of a Pre-defined list that I specify in a range. For example the list of column headers reside in the Range (A1:A200)
I get a report several times a week consisting of several columns and some hundred rows. There must be no comma signs in column E but the reports that I get will sometimes have commas in Col E anyway.
I have a macro/vba code in another workbook that I start by a keyboard combination. This macro will adapt the look of the report, but it can't take care of the comma issue. However, I have managed to remove the comma and replace it with nothing but that is not sufficient. I want to delete the comma and all figures to the right of the comma sign. There can between 1 and 4 decimal numbers.
I need to integrate some kind of vba code that will check every cell in column E and if it finds a comma in any cell, the comma must be deleted and all the numbers to the right of the comma too.
Hope you can help me with this issue because I have been googling around for two days now... It drives me crazy.
I have posted this question here too but it has not yet been solved:
I need a VBA code that will search column H for any value that DOES NOT start with "9" (this is a character field). If it finds a cell that doesn't start with "9", I would like it to delete the entire row. It will need to repeat this process for every cell in Column H that has a value and then stop.
I have worksheet that contains the wording "Total For Page" in columns A:N. I would like to find that wording delete that row and 3 rows below it. found the code below that works, but I have to continually run it to find the wording and delete the rows. The code doesn't search all and delete in one shot.
Any way to use a search form I've created to delete data from the original sheet. What I'm doing here is using advanced filter to copy data from the original database onto a temporary sheet to display in this list box. I've gotten almost everything to work properly, but since this is populated by advanced filter, I don't really even know where to start on my delete button.
Code: Private Sub Search() Dim Criteria As Range Dim SearchRange As Range Dim SearchResults As Range Set Criteria = Range("Values!Criteria")
[Code] ......
So I was thinking something like this:
Code: Private Sub cmdDelete_Click() lstResults.Value.delete End Sub
I have a workbook with one sheet (called "Pipeline") and another sheet called "Completed". The Pipeline sheet is used to keep track of all of the tasks that the team are working on, and then when the task is completed, it needs to be moved to the "Completed tab".
I currently have managed to write some code that looks for items marked "completed" in row G of the "Pipeline" sheet, then copies them over to the "Completed" tab, and then deletes the row from the "Pipeline" sheet.
There is one macro to copy the completed cells (called "Transfer"), and then another to delete the cells (called "Delete"). I then just have macro called "Clean" that just calls the transfer macro, and then calls the delete macro.
Often, there are 6 tasks marked complete, and only some of them will be copied over, but all of them will be deleted (a disaster).
How to create a macro to search a value and delete the row but I'm having trouble trying to get this to search multiple values. Keep in mind I'm really new at attempting to create a macro so this may look terrible ;-)
I have a list of 20 numbers (changes from time to time) and I need to filter any row containing any one of these numbers out of my results each day. I am currently able to filter a single group of numbers but get an end error every time I attempt to string a group of numbers.
This is what I have so far and is an example. We'll use three numbers as an example.
"12345","12346","12347" are the numbers that we'll use for the example that I need to filter. The code that I have is:
I'd like to do is click the delete button and when clicked, it will search for matching records in column A & B and if they match... I'm thinking the code for that is <> but I'm not sure, then delete that record, and shift the cells up. Do this until the search results are empty below the delete button. Like I said, it's probably more understandable to look at the workbook.
I have two workbooks, one is used for importing items to the site while the other is a monthly product list. In each of these I have a list of sku codes. I need a macro that will search each sku from the import to the entire product workbook. If it's found then delete the whole row from the product workbook. I have attached the examples below.
I attached partial file so you can see what i mean. I pasted only a few combinations cause the file was to big and i wasnt able to attach it...there are 142506 combinations . But you can see what i mean. A VBA or a macro on the worksheet will do the job?
I've attached a dummy worksheet that shows constant values of 1.00 in columns D and E. In the actual workbook, user action will sometimes cause these values to change to something other that 1.00. The user may wish to delete the action that caused the change.
I need a macro that will search from the last cell in column D upward to the first instance of a cell that is not equal to 1.00 and select that cell and those immediately above with the same value as the first found cell.
For example, in the attached worksheet the search would start in the last cell of Columd D and search upward. It would find cell D23 and upward to D19. These entire rows would be deleted.
I have a excel 2007 workbook that has 5 sheets "MASTER" , "RED" , "WHITE", "GOLD" & "BLUE". There are 7 columns in each sheet and the master has about 8,000 rows . In column D of each sheet there is a unique number (approx. 8 - 10 digits ) that I would like to at the press of a command button search through sheets "RED" "WHITE" "GOLD" & "BLUE" against the unique numbers in the "MASTER" sheet and if there any duplicates numbers delete the entire row but leave all the data in the master sheet.
I would like a macro to find the columns named "apple" and "peach" and delete them. These would always be in row 1 but would always be in different column letters which is why I want the macro to simply find these columns by their name and not by their column letter.
And yes, I do mean the entire column altogether, shifting entire columns to the left. Wipe it off the face of the earth
My Excel program (Excel 2010) currently has several columns and each column looks for and pulls data from a specific file on my computer. Then I need to delete any duplicate data entries, count the number of unique entries and track the changes through a chart. I have everything done except I cannot figure out (or find on the internet) a way to search in multiple columns (more than 2) and delete just the duplicate cells. I want to delete the cells in a way where there is one left. For example if the code 12gf is duplicated three time, I want to be left with one 12gf (it doesnt matter what column the original one is left in). Additionally, column length changes and they are not sorted. I have attempted to attach an image of an example file below.
I don't have to keep using the ridiculous Substitute() work-around when I need to grab cell text after the nth instance of a character. In doing data cleanup I'm constantly having to grab text between, say, the 4th space character and the 6th one. Since Search() doesn't have an instance parameter, I end up having to use the 'Substitute trick', since it's the only string function that does have one.
See below for a typical example of the convoluted formula I need, and another example of it if Search only had 'instance' available. Simplifies the formula quite a bit.
*Typical real example, here to find the word between the 4th and 5th spaces in A1:
I have a column of data with letters in each cell, no numerical, only alpha. Now, some of those cells contain the letters "adj sub" as part of the text string in each cell. "Adj sub" is always at the beginning of the text string. As an example, a cell will look like this - "adj sub mhm". I want to delete rows whose cell description does not contain "adj sub" as part of the text in the cell.
"Is there some VBA code which could delete all first, second or third characters of a text? Could it be done to the three last characters from this same text and these be displayed on reverse order?"
