Using Find For Similar Searches

Mar 6, 2014

Problem is Findstring finds cells that contain "SS1" AND "SS1 EXT". These are separate grades.

I need Findstring to only find SS1. Using xlWhole doesn't work for me, as the cells also contain other data. For example: " SS1 48 /"

CODE:

FindString = "SS1"
Findstring1 = "SS1 EXT"

With Sheets("Sheet1").Range(Rng4)
Set Rng = .Find(What:=FindString, _
After:=.Cells(.Cells.Count), _

[Code] ........

FIND From Right To Left Or Similar?

May 2, 2014

Cell A1 = 78-36

This is a win/loss ratio so to have it as a percentage I would have to divide the first number by the sum of the two numbers so 78/114 = 68.4% How would you do this with a formula?

I came up with this that isn't quite right, because RIGHT and FIND don't work together.

=LEFT(A1,FIND("-",A1,1)-1)/(LEFT(A1,FIND("-",A1,1)-1)+RIGHT(A1,FIND("-",A1,1)-1))
There must be a smarter way of doing this. TY

Formula To Find Similar Data In Columns

Feb 17, 2007

I need help creating a formula to find data in one column that starts with different letters and counts them up.

For example one column would contain the words amoung others:
DPDE
DNPD
EPRO
EOTH
YBRC
YUND

In the other column I want to count up the amount of times a word starts with the letter D or E or Y. The count comes from another spreadsheet, which the CMRF Tool (See attachment) is pasted at the bottom of.

The Monthly case report file is the file I want to get the count from. These would come from Column O once the data is there. The count would end up in column D of the CMRF tool which is pasted at the bottom of the monthly case report file.

VBA- Write A Macro To Find The Similar Maturity, Compute The Returns

Feb 13, 2007

I am working with financial data and am exposed to a problem that excel formula cannot solve. I am very new to VBA and would like some assistance please. I have in one excel column the list of maturities in dates eg. EN02, EN03, EN04 etc (EN=January). I have in another column the corresponding prices for these maturities. What I would like to do is compute the returns on similar maturities and paste the returns in the returns column. I can use a formula for this when the consecutive maturities are the same. The problem arises when I want excel to find the previous similar maturity, which may be 5 cells or so before. How do I write a macro to find the similar maturity, compute the returns and place that returns value in the returns column.

I would like to find the value from Sheet2 Column1 in sheet1 Column1 and return value from Sheet1 Column2 and Column3 into Sheet2 Column2 and Column3

And if it doesn't find anything just return Not Found

The problem that a Vlookup is not working for me is because I want it to be the exact text from sheet2 column1 but in sheet1 column 1 it should not be exact as it might have some extra text as seen in the illustration above

To summarize - Columns B through E are current MLB Players who I am trying to compare with the data in Columns G though J. My goal is to both use index and match to find the following in Column L: A comparable player name using the criteria of having an exact match for both position and age, but the closest approximation match between Columns E and J.

I have deleted a significant amount of player data to be able to upload the document on this site.

I am trying to find a way to combined exact and approximate matches in one single formula, but have been unsuccessful thus far.

Search Box Searches Multiple Worksheets

Jan 9, 2013

I love Excel and love learning new things to do in it to create some amazing number-crunching techniques. I have created a workbook with multiple worksheets [one for every month in the year]. I searched this amazing forum and succesfully implemented the search box macro to find and copy the found data on a separate worksheet.

My question is that the macro I found in the this post Creating a Search Box in Excel only searches for the data in one worksheet. How do I tell it to search for the inputted data in all worksheets?

Here is the first part of the macro. I was trying to fiddle around with the strDataShtNm but to no avail.

Code:

Sub myFind()
'Standard module code, like: Module1.
'Find my data and list found rows in report!
Dim rngData As Object
Dim strDataShtNm$, strReportShtNm$, strMySearch$, strMyCell$
Dim lngLstDatCol&, lngLstDatRow&, lngReportLstRow&, lngMyFoundCnt&

On Error GoTo myEnd
'*******************************************************************************

strDataShtNm = "Sheet2" 'This is the name of the sheet that has the data!
strReportShtNm = "Sheet1" 'This is the name of the report to sheet!

Multiple Text Searches And Counts

Jan 21, 2009

I have data created by a program where it gives me a column "Code" with different text categories (in this case names of people). One person appears multiple times in this column as it track each time they register a statistic for the sporting event. The statistics are text fields registered under the column Labels

So I have two columns titled "Codes" and "Labels"

I need to extrapolate from this data a count of times each statistic happens for a specific player.

Example:
Code: Labels:
John FGA
John FGM
Joe FGA
Joe OREB
Zach TO

What I need is broken down by player with counts of each category FGA, FGM, OREB ect specific for each player creating a box score for the event.

Not Sure To Use Dsum Or Vlookup For Multiple Searches

Feb 27, 2009

I would like to ask recommendations whether to use DSum or Vlookup, in order to do multiple search.

We receive a flat file on a daily basis, which contains four (4) columns. They are Group, Team, Taskname, and Number_of_Employees. The first three columns have text properties and the last one has number property. We copy this sheet into our workbook. There are more than 1,000 rows. I name this tab, "TotalWorkersbyTask".

Each group (first column) has its own tab. We try our best to name each tab to match the name of the first column.

We would like to find the unique value, in order to put the correct Number_Of_Employees into the correct column on each sheet. However, the relationship per column is many to many, which makes it more difficult.

For example,

Group,Team, TaskName, Number_of_Employees

12GR, Robert, Analyze raw data, 2.5
12OV, Tim, Analyze raw data, 1.25
12OV, Bob, Prepare reports, .85
16CJ, Jim, Prepare reports, .50
1008, Mary, Analyze raw data, .25
............

Each tab, such as 12GR, will have the task name on the line "Analyze raw Data" which matches the information "TotalWorkersbyTask" tab.

The problem is, if I do a Vlookup for Taskname only, only the first value of 2.5 will return in to the Number_of_Employees column.

For the tab of group 12GR, the logic supposes to be -> if the group is 12GR, and the name of the task equal to the one appeared in "TotalWorkersbyTask", return me the value of 2.5 in the specific row. With the same logic, on the tab 12OV, the same task name should return me the value of 1.25 as well.

As you see from the example, line 2 and line 3 are the tasks in the same tab, from the flat file received.

Then, this formula can be copied and populated into other rows and other sheets as well.

*********************
Questions:

1. Is there anyway to write the formula to gather the required information? My thought was using the Vlookup. However, it can see only one column.

2. Do I need to rename all the tabs to match the name of the first column received from flat file in order to make it more efficient? (In the present, there are some tabs that match the name, such as 12OV, and some tabs are something like ->Engineering, Research, etc.)

Multiple File Searches In One Macro

Apr 11, 2007

Is it possible to do multiple file searches in one macro? Or does the data get stored in such a way that they'd conflict? First I want to search a folder for other folders. Then I want to search each folder for a certain type of file and then run a macro that does a whole bunch of things to each file. Including saving the file as a different format in a folder with a similar but different name. Currently I have everything written except the loop that will go through each folder. I was kind of hoping to use a 2nd file search to do so.

Using Power Query To Do Multiple Searches On Website?

Jul 10, 2014

I've been trying to get power query to search a list of parcel numbers on an assessor site: [URL]. The problem I'm getting, every time you put in a different parcel number, you get the same URL for the results. I want to extract just a few pieces of information for each parcel search, but I can't initiate a search through excel. I'm thinking the problem is in the Data source settings. How can just get it to show me the assessors page results for a single parcel search in excel?

A Formula That Searches A Range And Gives The Sums Of The Adjacent Cells!??

Jun 23, 2009

I am looking for a formula that searches a range of data and then returns the sum of the numeric values in the adjacent cells. I have a calendar style spreadsheet with 2 columns for each day. In the first column it has a list of names and the second column a number.

I would like a cell to return the sum of the numeric values next to each name. All the names are entered into the columns randomly and are unorganised. The same name will appear multiple times in the range and have different numbers next to it each time. I am currently using (for example) =COUNTIF(H6:AL14,"bob") to tally up the number of "bobs" but really what i want to do is find a formula that in plain english does:

Search a range of columns and where cell = "bob" take the value of the adjacent cell (to the right) and total them up!

i have attached an image - i hope it makes sense what i'm trying to do - i would like Q3 to total up the numbers to the right of all "bobs" across all the days - so it should return 42

Sorting Values: Find Points With Similar "y" Values

May 5, 2008

I have x coordinates in column 1 with coresponding y coordinates in column 2. From my data of x,y coordinates I want to find points with similar y values. In my data I have defined groups of numbers, i.e. I have a set of numbers with y values around 30 (+-10), then a new group with y values around 60 (+-10), and so on... Sometimes the groups are not totaly separeted, there could be a few points with y values between 30 and 60. These points can be grouped with the closest group of coordinates (30 or 60). Each group of x,y coordinates could be copypasted in the columns to the right (columns 3 and up).

So what I want to do is find a group of coordinates. This group will have at least 40 individual points +-10 from a group mean. The coordinates need to be sorted out from the data and put in seperate columns.

Macro That Searches For Partial Match Then Apply IF Statement Based On Match

Sep 21, 2013

I have a WB with multiple sheets. I have a Feed sheet that automatically pulls data from the web. I have a Scores sheet that currently has all head to head matchups each week for an entire season. So I want to check the cells on the Feed! sheet to find a partial match and if partial match exists then copy cell that contents score from feed sheet to the score sheet next to the appropriate teams name. Currently I have to manually enter all scores each week for the rest of my WB to update.

I need to look at Cell A3 (on the Feed sheet) which has "New York Jets" then search for a partial/similar match on the score Sheet (which is NY JETS, in this case). NY JETS could be in column B (rangeB2:B257) OR column D (rangeD2:D257) BUT I need to search by row, not column, then once a match is found check the cell to the immediate right and only if the cell is blank copy data from the (!feed) sheet to that blank cell on the (!scores) sheet

This is what happens if working right =

look at cell A3 on the (!feed) sheet = "New York Jets" then search (!scores) sheet Column B and Column D by row for a partial match, finds "NY JETS" as match in cell D8, if cell E8 is blank then copies cell H3 from (!feed) sheet, and pastes to cell E8 on the (!scores) sheet, if cell is not blank continues search until 1st blank cell to the right of matching cell is found (as there will be mutiple matching cells with blank cells to the right but I am only interested in the 1st blank cell found, once found and data copied the process is done and then starts over with cell A4)

Look at cell A4 (!feed)= "New England Patriots" then search (!scores) sheet Column B and Column D by row, finds "NEW ENGLAND" as match in cell B8, if cell C8 is blank then copies cell H4 (!feed) sheet, and paste to cell C8 (!scores)

Once this is done it moves on to the next cell in the next row on the (!feed) sheet, A5, to find a partial match for the data in that cell. I need to continue the search for each cell A3 to A74, and if no match is found to move on to the next cell A6... (based on the way the data is pulled in from the web there are some blank cells as well as some cells that say Game Final, this data won't be on the scores sheets in column B or D).
