Search The First Name And Match Both The First And Second Names To The Main List
Mar 5, 2008
I have document1, which is a main list of surnames names, which then show 'hours', 'employment number', and 'post', in the following columns.
In document2, I have a sheet with a selection of these names, and blank cells for the named columns above.
What i need to do is have excel search and match the name from document2, to the name in document 1, and fill in the above columns with the correct data.
is that some of the surnames will show up more than once in my main list - so if possible i would like excel to then search the first name (which is in the preceding column) and match both the first and second names to the main list - OR - to simply return an error so that i can spot, and input the data manually.

I have a spreadsheet which has the following data;
Names Age Salary
Fred 23 $19,000
Joe 35 $26,000
Alan 45 $7,000
Richard 32 $25,000
James 19 $16,000
Ian 23 $28,000
Michelle 30 $45,000
I'm trying to list the names only where their age is "xx" or if I choose a certain salary, obviously there are hundreds of names, age's and salary information. How can I carry this out in excel ?

I have a table A1:A400, where each individual cell contains multiple names (e.g. A4 =Name1; Name2; Name3)
I am trying to match a list of names in row G1:G50, and return a value of 1 or True in another column if any of the 50 names appear in a cell of row A.
Attendees
Names to be found
Rep was there
Max; Joe; Mike; Karl; Jen;
Tod
True
Max; JB;
Mike
Max; Tod; Mike
True
I have been trying this as an array formula:
{=IF(ISERROR(SEARCH($G$2:$G$50,A2,1)),"", "True")}
But it only returns a true value for if it finds the first name from Column G.

Within conditional formatting I use =COUNTIF(Task,I4)=0 and it highlights the non-matches. Task is a named range which works fine, but how could I actually just use a string instead of the named range? The named range only consists of Major and Sub. My first guess would be =COUNTIF({"Major";"Sub"},I4)=0 but this is not working.

I have a database output file where one of the columns contains managers names, often more than once. I want to apply an autofilter on manager name and then copy the result to another sheet or sheets. My criteria for the autofilter is a variable pointing to a list of names that at present I maintain by hand; a for-each-next loop then cycles through the names.
What I would like to do, before running the autofilter code, is to create the list of names via code. This would then automatically pickup names that are missing.
The code I have so far is below:
Public Sub find_managers()
Dim managers1 As Range
Dim names1 As Range
Dim n1 As Variant
Dim n2 As Variant
In my mind it should check the names in the unique list against the imported list and add any missing names.

I have worked on the excel sheet Test.xls(Attached) to create a simple uniform order form. Unfortunately, I am not able to get through the 3rd column. Let me explain. 3 Columns references below 3 steps
1. I selected the first dropdown item and selected the item
2. Corresponding value is shown based on the first choice.
3. This value or drop-down is not shown.
In my main "LISTS" sheet, I have items that include one of the item for example... Blue Socks & Shoes with characters "&" and spaces.
All this could be solved if I maintain the following idea.
1. Have the main list without spaces.
2. The corresponding heading is related to the items in the main list (without spaces).
3. Enter the Headings for the sublists and sub-sub lists without any spaces.
Great..I am getting lost with this..Can anyone help me.
You will get more clearer once you see the attachment.

I need to compare two lists of client names. One list has 59k names to be compared to second list of 1000 names.
The list of 59k are listed in column D and the other list is in Column E. I tried conditional formatting but unfortunately some of the names are slightly different I.e. fair point communications vs fair point communications inc. I was trying to put in v lookup with a trim function but it didn't seem to be working.

I have a long customer listing, names 5 to 36 characters and several with their location in the name as well as a few common duplicate names. I am trying to produce sheet where the customers name once selected opens in the customers spreadsheet and data can be added/amended for sales etc.The lists are not in alphabetical order as when created a customer number is automatically allocated. My aim is just to type in the first letter of the name and the dropdown appears the customer is selected and their card appears. I have tried data validation, lookup, vlookup, Dropdown and Match/find. they only return the first record found and no sign of any others. Find returned all instances of the letter appearing in every name.

I am using Excel 2003 and Windows XP.
I have been given a list of my firm’s target clients (in excel) and an opportunities report (exported into excel) from our CRM system, which lists all the opportunities (i.e. opportunities to sell/provide products/services) that have been created for each client. Some of the column headings in the opportunities report are as follows:
Client; Opportunity ID; Opportunity Name; Opportunity Description; Created by; Date Created etc.
What I need to do is lookup each client, from the target clients listing, in the opportunities report to see whether an opportunity has been created; and if so, return the row of values (i.e. the Opportunity ID; Opportunity Name; Opportunity Description; Created by; Date Created) for that client. The result will be placed next to the name of the client in the target client worksheet.
I have a couple of problems. Initially I tried to use the VLOOKUP function to lookup the client name in the opportunities report and return the Opportunity ID (I then planned to use the same formula to return values from the other columns); however, as the client names in the target client listing were not always written the same way as they were in the opportunities report, the formula often returned #N/A. The formula I used was
=VLOOKUP(A8,'Opportunities Report'!A2:F51,2,FALSE)
So for example, the first client that I was looking up was written as “ABC Ltd” but in the opportunities report it was written as “ABC Limited”.
My second problem was that for some clients, there were multiple opportunities listed in the opportunities report. Where this was the case, there was a separate row (repeating the client name in the first column) for each opportunity created. I think that was messing up my VLOOKUP formula as well.
Is there a way to look up the client name, from the target client listing, in the opportunities report even if it’s slightly different and return the row of values for each opportunity created for that client on a separate row?

I need a macro that can search a sheet for a match and then copy all 7 cells to the right of the match. I have attached an example of the sheet that will serve as the database to search, and a userform example that will be similar to the userfrom that will display the copied cells when a match is found. I plan to copy and paste the 7 cells to a different sheet so that the userform can display the results with the control source property. I do not need a way to add to this database. I know very little about searching a database so.

I'm trying to sort out a list of names from a website that publishes names in the following format:
DOE John
VAN GOGH Vincent
DA VINCI Leonardo
NADAL PARERA Rafael
JIMENEZ RODRIGUEZ Miguel Angel
What I'd like to do is get the names in the following format
John Doe
Vincent Van Gogh
Leonardo Da Vinci
Rafael Nadal Parera
Miguel Angel Jimenez Rodriguez
Basically all the last names - which are all capitalized - would be moved to the end of the text string. Of course any leading spaces should be removed and I guess using the Proper() function, all capitalized words could be capitalized in a standard way.
I found the following function, here: [URL] ...
but what it does is just take the capitalized words and separate them into a separate cell, which is not all of what I want.

I have a workbook with many many sheets in it. The first sheet contains a single column with about 10,000 different values. I'd like to use each of these as search criteria against ALL data in the other sheets (of which there are a good 50 or so). If matches are found (they don't have to be exact case), then I'd like two things to happen:
1. The rows containing the matched search criteria in the first sheet are highlighted.
2. In the cells adjacent to the search criteria in the first sheet, hyperlinks to the matched data are created and named after the sheet upon which this matched data appears.
I've attached a sample file to this post with ideal sample 'answers' to queries made of the first 2 terms.

I am trying to write a macro which will look at a search term entered into cell C1, then if there is a defined Name in the search range (AM1:DA5000) which matches then then name will be outputted to listbox 1.
eg if cell c1 = Out
then listbox 1 would return the following names from the above range:
Out1
Out2
Outer
Siderout
Outsider
I have the following code, which will only return the first instance it finds:
Public Sub findnames()Dim c As Range, rngDim n As NameActiveSheet.ListBox1.Clearmystr = [c1].Value**** ****Set rng = Range("AM1:DA5000")************For Each c In rng****************For Each n In ActiveWorkbook.Names********************If InStr(c, mystr) > 0 Then************************************ActiveSheet.ListBox1.AddItem c****************** ******************************************** End If****************Next n************Next c********End Sub

I have a database of names, (several hundred). These names are divided between 3 columns beginning at Row 20, C:20, D:20, E:20 Each name is within it's own cell. The entire list has been given a Named Range : ("Names_List"). Here's an example
Bob Mary Jane
Ted Frank Tom
Sue Fred Frank
Joe Tim Sue
Bren Max Lee
Luc John Paul
Frank Joe Ted
Karl Mary Jane
The names often repeat throughout these columns. Is it possible to create a script which can detect paired names? Say, to have an indication of a letter "x" in an offset column wherever these paired names appear. As an example, If i want to locate the names Frank and Ted, I could type these names in a blank cell, then run the script,( via a button) in which an indication of "x" would appear in an offset column. To look something like this:.........

I have a macro that I'm using to check people in based on their name. The only problem is that the names are both First Last; Last, First; some have middle initials and others have Jr, Sr, etc. I know that this can be sorted through using a Regular Expression, but I have no clue how they operate. I've found many an example of Regular Expressions for VBA, but none of them translate into "Proper English".

I'm trying to create a staff rota which will populate a rota randomly when prompted - I have been trying to find some way of connecting the random lists and the staff names, though this has proved difficult (to say the least!). How best to proceed? I'm also fully aware of the possibility that my present design will also double book people (place then on reception and telephone duty simultaneously).

I do not have any code for this as I am unsure if it is possible. I have a list of range names in a column (A) that refer to different sheets and in an adjacent column (B) I have a list of data. Is it possible to write VBA code that will allow me to copy each value in column B to the corresponding cell in the workbook that relates to the range name in column A.

I have an excel sheet with 30 names in column A and I'm asked to do the following:
Write a procedure – a sub – that uses an input box to ask for a name. The procedure should then scan through the names in the list to search for the name and make a message box to state “X is not in the group” or “X is in the group”, where X is the name from the input box. HINT: You can make a variable “found” that starts with the value 0 and gets the value 1 if the name is found in the list.

Im still pretty new toi VBA and im struggling with pulling data from another worksheet and placing it into a list. Below is the code currently I think I have identified were its not working but not sure what to do. the code should essentially do the following
on opening the workbook check CS PS data worksheet find the names of people within the sheet, These start at row six and the step between each is 82 it then should input these names one after another in the following range Range("AO3:AO43") one name per cell until the end of the dat,a it seems to run but only inputs the first name in the first cell even thought it picks up each name in the myformula piece
Within the myformula there is a concatenate piece to flip the names to opposite way round I think this is where is not working possibly something to do with the separators? each name is in the format surname, firstname it should flip it so it shows first name [space] last name
provide ive commented out the piece I think is the issue
Sub CSupdate_()
With Application
.Calculation = xlManual
.ScreenUpdating = False

I thought i had worked it out, but for some reason the names aren't updating when i add a new time, and the same names appear when i add the same code for a different track. I was using this code {=INDEX(A2:A32,SMALL(IF(C2:C32<>0,ROW(C2:C32)),1),1)} as you can seen in cell A34, then added a 2 onto it for the second fastest time eg.....{=INDEX(A2:A32,SMALL(IF(C2:C32<>0,ROW(C2:C32)),2),1)}, but doesn't seem to update when adding a new fastest time in. Am i using the wrong code to match the names with the fastest times?

I've been trying for a few time to make a sub, on VBA, that writes, in a specific column, " " or 1 depending on the date that is inserted. The thing I can't quite do is:
1 - I have a sheet where the different projects of a company are stored (name, starting date, ending date and person responsible) and where new projects can be added from a UserForm
2 - I also have another sheet were costs from the projects are stored (one line with cost 1 from project 1, another with cost 2 also from project 1 and cost 3 from project 2, etc) and where I can also add a new cost with another UserForm (this cost as also a date that is added, to when it happened)
3 - What I need to do is, on the costs' sheet I need to create a sub that in the last column adds me 1 if the date of the cost added is not a date between the starting and ending date of the project that it corresponds.
