What I mean in the title is if I want to looking for just only the part of formula's word such as =ArrayFormula( in one hit from the menu bar like Search > Formula.
When pressing Ctrl+F the search dialog appears
Clicking on the three dots makes a dialog appear.
By default formulas' contents are not searched
Ticking "Also Search within Formulae" will change the display of all cells containing formulae and search those too.

Hope you could help, don't know if its possible.
I'm using Excel to create a layout with some ID's in that layout.
Since it's a layout, I can't just show all information needed as it's too much, so, I would like with a click in that cell or when mouse hover it shows a tooltip/comment with a custom vlookup that search that ID in another sheet. When the user click in a empty cell or takes mouse point to an empty cell the tooltip/comment disappear.
Already make some searches but couldn't find anything. Any suggestions in how to achieve this?
Thanks.
I've pasted into an excel file lots of number such as 43:11 or 22:06. These represent goals scored and goals against. However excel is recognising them as dates and times. I want it so that I have two columns with 43 and then 11 for example, instead of 43:11. Whatever I have tried it has become confused because it things of it as a time. I've tried formatting as text, numbers etc. Any ideas?
This will work in Excel 2016 (other versions have the same functionality but the menus may be slightly different):
Copy your numbers to the clipboard
In Excel, select the Home ribbon
Click the downward arrow under the Paste button (the leftmost icon on the ribbon).
Select Use Text Import Wizard
Wizard appears. Make sure Delimited is checked and My data has headers is not checked.
Click Next.
In the Delimiters group, uncheck Space, check Other and in the box next to it type :
Click Finish
If you are typing values into a cell, then format the cell as Text before typing. If you are importing material from an external source, then tell the Import Wizard that the field containing these values is Text.
When I use ALT+ENTER I get multiple lines of text and could not format them as links. Is there any way to get multiple links in one excel cell?
You can use shapes that you can assign with a hyperlink. See https://www.extendoffice.com/documents/excel/916-excel-insert-multiple-hyperlinks.html
Via insert, you can choose a rectangular shape, insert this in the
cell.
Right click the shape and choose 'Hyperlink' and type the
address.
Go to step 1 until enough hyperlinks are created.
Links are tight to cells in Excel, the first link that it detects is the default link for a cell. You can still put :
First link (Alt +Enter), Second Link
But Still only when clicking on the cell, you will be directed to the first link.
As the "links" formatting is map with the cell and no with the text.
It's as simple as this. Say I want to color "COPT" and "RAT GCU" Yellow can I color just those?
I tried conditional formatting tricks and they all work after the drop down item is selected.
I want the colors to be loaded only to certain list items to appear as soon as I click the drop-down arrow.
I'm not sure if this can be done but...
Additionally would anyone know the syntax to click a button to set the value of the list back to displaying "Please select"???? I already have a reset button that unfilters everything. So if I tie it to that button I think it'd work like a charm. I just don't know how to go about selecting the listbox as it's a data validation one and I can't seem to figure out how to define/declare the listbox and can't find it's name anywhere.
There is no way to color items in the DV list. If you want the cell to show "Please Select" when no choice was made, all you can do is enter that literal text into the cell. An empty cell will remain empty.
My end goal is for "Find and Replace" to take an extra parameter and to show me a custom column in the "Results" table when I click "Find All".
When I search a spreadsheet for "value" and click "Find All", the dialog shows me the Book, Sheet, Name, Cell, Value, Formula for every cell that has "value" in it. But I want it to show me the contents of another cell in that row as well. I would like that cell to be from a column I specify when I enter the seach parameters.
I'm relatively new to programming, and am sure that I can figure out something with Python or AutoHotKey. But I would be surprised if there isn't a better way.
I don't want something that is associated with the spreadsheet or workbook specifically, so it needs to be part of Excel or stand alone (not a macro from what I understand). Is it possible to modify the Find and Replace dialog box in Excel?
A point in the right direction would be much appreciated, thanks!
It's not possible (at least with any sensible level of effort) to modify the built-in search functionality to add parameters and to display different output. You would need to create a similar tool in your language of choice and build in your new requirements.
