I have Sheet2 with data (names of products) alphabetically sorted by column yielding 26 columns plus one column for numeric data. On Sheet1 there is a list of nearly 10,000 names of products which is to be tested whether we have them on Sheet2 or not. To search one name at a time is a matter of craze, so I was thinking if we could bulk search data in Sheet1 and next to each cell the search result will be shown with the address of the cell where that product is found in Sheet2, or not found, such as:

I have done some search to find similar code for what is needed above, and found the following code at: http://www.excelforum.com/excel-programming-vba-macros/714965-search.html, which does the search for one string. Can this script be modified to yeild the desired results?
Sub DataSearch()
Dim Data() As Variant
Dim DstWks As Worksheet
Dim Food As String
Dim N As Variant
Dim R As Long
Dim Rng As Range
Dim RngEnd As Range
Dim SrcWks As Worksheet
Set SrcWks = Worksheets("Test 2")
Set DstWks = Worksheets("Test1")
R = 6
Food = DstWks.Range("E3")
N = DstWks.Range("E4")
If DstWks.Range("C6") <> "" Then
DstWks.Range("C6").CurrentRegion.Offset(0, 1).ClearContents
End If
Set Rng = SrcWks.Range("A4:E4")
Set RngEnd = SrcWks.Cells(Rows.Count, Rng.Column).End(xlUp)
Set Rng = IIf(RngEnd.Row < Rng.Row, Rng, SrcWks.Range(Rng, RngEnd))
ReDim Data(1 To Rng.Rows.Count, 1 To Rng.Columns.Count)
Data = Rng.Value
For I = 1 To UBound(Data, 1)
If Data(I, 1) = N And InStr(1, Data(I, 3), Food, vbTextCompare) > 0 Then
DstWks.Cells(R, "C").Resize(1, Rng.Columns.Count) = Rng.Rows(I).Value
R = R + 1
End If
Next I
End Sub
Always appreciating your invaluable assistance.
I would use something quick and dirty such as a hlookup, and see if it returns a value to determine whether or not it is in the 10,000 products.
e.g. Assuming that in sheet 2, your data are in stored such that:
- Each product record is in a column
- Different products are in different columns
- Product name is in row 1, starting with A1
Also assuming that in sheet 1,
- Product names are in column A, starting with A1
- There are no other data in the sheet
In Sheet 1, put the following formula in B2 (and subsequently copy it all the way to B10001):
=IF(ISNA(HLOOKUP(A1,Sheet2!$A$1:$Z$1,1)),"not found",ADDRESS(1,MATCH(A1,Sheet2!$A$1:$Z$1,0),1))

Dear Team Could you please help me on below case
In the excel file we have name and department with available resources
First table we have details and second table need to fill with number or just comments YES or NO.
I have tried with IF formula it will not be helpful because cells keep moving based on second table which changes daily
Formula which I have tried no useful
If(A2&b1=a12&b11,if(b2<0,"No","Yes"),"Match not found")
Could you please help me. VBA am new no idea how this case can be helpful
You may want to transform the first table from the cross-table layout to tabular (aka unpivot):
e.g. 1st column=name, 2nd column=department
then add 3rd column as combo: “name/department” (or any other delimiter in between)
| a1 | 1011 | a1/1011 | 1 |
| a1 | 1033 | a1/1033 | 3 |
etc.
In the second crosstable you could use vlookup/xlookup:
match criteria is the respective combo of the name to the left and the department on the column header (e.g. A12&”/“&”B11)
Match (vlookup) this against 3rd column from first table (in tabular layout) to get back then value (or “yes”) - this should work dynamically based on the value in the respective column and row headers (and not dependent on the position of the cells)
Use PowerQuery to unpivot and add 3rd column and replace the numbers with “yes” to create tabular version of first table
I asked a clarification question, but you were not interested in answering it.
Anyhow, I prepared an answer which should be fast enough, using arrays and a dictionary. It uses the ranges you show us in the picture. I wanted to configure it for using two sheets and automatically calculating the last row of each.
It assumes that in the first table there are unique names. In the second one may be as many names as you want, in any sorting order.
Please, test the next code and send some feedback:
Sub matchNames()
Dim sh As Worksheet, lastR As Long, dict As Object
Dim rngGlob As Range, rngRow As Range, arrGlob, arrSrc, i As Long, j As Long, arrYes, arrRet
Set sh = ActiveSheet
lastR = 7 ' if can be calculated, if two sheets will be used: sh.Range("A" & sh.rows.count).End(xlUp).row
Set rngGlob = sh.Range("A1:G" & lastR): arrGlob = rngGlob.Value2
arrSrc = sh.Range("B11:D11").Value2 'the array of numbers to be matched in the global array
arrRet = sh.Range("A12:D17").Value2 'the array of the range to return (Yes...)
'place the "Yes" string where the numbers exist in an array and load the dictinary:
Set dict = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
For i = 2 To UBound(arrGlob)
On Error Resume Next 'for the case of no any value on the processed row:
Set rngRow = rngGlob.rows(i).Offset(0, 1).Resize(1, rngGlob.Columns.count - 1).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants)
On Error GoTo 0
If Not rngRow Is Nothing Then arrYes = getYes(rngGlob, rngRow, arrSrc)
dict(arrGlob(i, 1)) = IIf(IsArray(arrYes), arrYes, vbNullString) 'place the array containing Yes as Item
Erase arrYes
Next i
'place the dictionary arrays value in the array to be returned:
For i = 1 To UBound(arrRet)

For j = 0 To UBound(arrYes)
arrRet(i, j + 2) = arrYes(j)
Next j
Else
'place empty strings, to clean eventually older values whchid does not correspond, anymore
For j = 0 To UBound(arrSrc, 2) - 1: arrRet(i, j + 2) = "": Next j
End If
Next i
sh.Range("A12").Resize(UBound(arrRet), UBound(arrRet, 2)).Value2 = arrRet
End Sub

I have a 2 sheet excel.
Sheet 1 is three columns (name, date, value)
Sheet 2 is name.
I want to write a VBA script that displays all of Sheet 1 data that does NOT have any of the name field listed in Sheet 2 anywhere in sheet 1 (name can appear in different columns so ideally it would search all cells in Sheet 1) to appear in sheet 3
See the sample image for a rough idea of what I"m hoping to accomplish. I have searched but have not had luck.
If you have Excel 365 you can use the Dynamic Array formulas
=LET(Names,FILTER(Sheet1!$C:$E,Sheet1!$C:$C<>""),FILTER(Names,ISERROR(MATCH(INDEX(Names,,1),Sheet2!$G:$G,0))))
Example:
Data (Sheet1)
Exclusion List (Sheet2)
Result
Note: this excludes the headers because the header label Name is present in both the Data column and the Exclusion column so be sure to maintain that
Without Excel 365. I'd recommend a UDF
Function FilterList(ByVal Data As Range, ByVal Exclusion As Range) As Variant
Dim Res As Variant
Dim Dat As Variant
Dim Excl As Variant
Dim rw As Long
Dim idx As Long
Dim cl As Long
Dim ExcludeIt As Variant
Dim Cols As Long
Dim TopRow As Long
ReDim Res(1 To Application.Caller.Rows.Count, 1 To Application.Caller.Columns.Count)
If IsEmpty(Data.Cells(1, 1)) Then
TopRow = Data.Cells(1, 1).End(xlDown).Row
Set Data = Data.Resize(Data.Rows.Count - TopRow).Offset(TopRow - 1)
End If
If IsEmpty(Data.Cells(Data.Rows.Count, 1)) Then
Set Data = Data.Resize(Data.Cells(Data.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row - Data.Row + 1)
End If
Dat = Data.Value
Excl = Exclusion.Columns(1).Value
Cols = Application.Min(UBound(Dat, 2), UBound(Res, 2))
idx = 0
For rw = 1 To UBound(Dat, 1)
ExcludeIt = Application.Match(Dat(rw, 1), Excl, 0)
If IsError(ExcludeIt) Then
idx = idx + 1
For cl = 1 To Cols
Res(idx, cl) = Dat(rw, cl)
Next
End If
Next
For rw = 1 To UBound(Res, 1)
For cl = IIf(rw <= idx, UBound(Dat, 2) + 1, 1) To UBound(Res, 2)
Res(rw, cl) = vbNullString
Next
Next
FilterList = Res
End Function
Enter it as an Array Formula (complete it with Ctrl+Shift+Enter) in a range large enough to hold the returned data (can be larger), and pass it your input Data range and Exclusion range (both as whole columns)
=FilterList(Sheet1!$C:$E,Sheet2!$G:$G)
Welcome to Stack Overflow!
You did not say where the source table and criteria table begin, or where to place the result of the "anti-filter". I wrote this code on the assumption that they all start at the first cell of the worksheet, A1:
Sub AntiFilter()
Dim aSource As Range, aCriteria As Range, oCell As Range, oTarget As Range, countCells As Long
Set aSource = Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").CurrentRegion
countCells = aSource.Columns.Count
Set aCriteria = Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("A1").CurrentRegion
Set oTarget = Worksheets("Sheet3").Range("A1")
aSource.AdvancedFilter Action:=xlFilterInPlace, CriteriaRange:=aCriteria, Unique:=False
For Each oCell In Application.Intersect(aSource, aSource.Columns(1))
If oCell.RowHeight < 1 Then
oCell.Resize(1, countCells).Copy Destination:=oTarget
Set oTarget = oTarget.Offset(1, 0)
End If
Next oCell
On Error Resume Next
aSource.Worksheet.ShowAllData
On Error GOTO 0
End Sub
Workbook with macro, test data and examples of selection criteria on Sheet2
If the macro does not work as expected, make sure that you have sheets named Sheet1, Sheet2, and Sheet3 in your workbook, and that the source data range and criteria range start with cells A1. If this is not the case, make the necessary changes to the text of the macro:
I apologize, this is my first crack at Excel VBA so excuse my lack of knowledge!
So I have a list of (currently) 3 names to assign to the days in column A in a repeating order in Excel.
Currently my VBA code allows it to populate the selected cells with the names in a repeating pattern (this part is good), however there are two pieces I need help with.
1- with current code, once it reaches the bottom of the names it checks for the blank box that would end that list and starts over at the tops as directed but it puts a blank cell first (see screenshot). How can I have it put next name without adding blank cell first?
2- I want to be able to (once this gets going)select the entire D column through what dates need to be filled and:
-check the lowest non blank box
-match to list and set the
counter to name below that so
it continues the name order
from the last person who was
assigned
This is code I have now:
Sub EXAMPLE()
Dim count As Integer
count = 0
For Each c In Selection
c.Value = Range("X1").Offset(count, 0).Value
If c.Value = "" Then count = -1 And c.Value = Range("x1").Offset(count, 0).Value
count = count + 1
Next c
End Sub
Sorry I know that was long, I hope this makes sense.
I think it's worth reading about arrays, as this task is ideally suited to their use. Your best bet would be to read the names into an array and then build a recurring array whose dimension is equal to the number of rows in your dates column (or selection, or however you want to define the size of the output range).
Code would look a little like this:
Dim v As Variant
Dim people() As Variant, output() As Variant
Dim rowCount As Long, i As Long, j As Long
Dim endRange As Range
'Read the list of names into an array.
'This just takes all data in column "X" -> amend as desired
With Sheet1
Set endRange = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "X").End(xlUp)
v = .Range(.Cells(1, "X"), endRange).Value
End With
'Sense check on the names data.
If IsEmpty(v) Then
MsgBox "No names in Column ""X"""
Exit Sub
End If
If Not IsArray(v) Then
ReDim people(1 To 1, 1 To 1)
people(1, 1) = v
Else
people = v
End If
'Acquire the number of rows for repeating list of names.
'This just takes all data in column "A" -> amend as desired
With Sheet1
Set endRange = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp)
rowCount = .Range(.Cells(3, "A"), endRange).Rows.Count
End With
'Sense check date data.
If endRange.Row < 3 Then
MsgBox "No dates in Column ""A"""
Exit Sub
End If
'Make a recurring array.
ReDim output(1 To rowCount, 1 To 1)
i = 1
Do While i <= rowCount
For j = 1 To UBound(people, 1)
output(i, 1) = people(j, 1)
i = i + 1
If i > rowCount Then Exit Do
Next
Loop
'Write the output to column "D"
Sheet1.Range("D3").Resize(UBound(output, 1)).Value = output
I have a worksheet that contains a varying amount of Rows of data in Column A , within this worksheet I need to search for a specific string then copy the data contained in the Cell adjacent to it and paste into Column C, i.e if data was found in A2 then i need to copy the data from B2 and paste into C1. I can easily find and copy when the string appears once but the string will appear more than once 100% of time. here is when i run into issues.
The temporary code I have written for ease of understanding, searches the spreadsheet for the last Mention of A, get the row number, copy the B cell for that row number then pastes the value into C1.
I guess you need to use range variables for this but not 100% sure how to do it.
i have found no way to copy all mentions of A into a column, or ideally sum up the contents of the B cells. (I can do this, just long winded)
Ive placed my code below.
Sub ValueFinder()
Dim LastALocation As String
Dim ValueContent As String
LastALocation = Range("A:A").Find(What:="A", after:=Range("A1"), searchdirection:=xlPrevious).Row
ValueContent = Cells(LastALocation, 2)
Cells(1, 3) = ValueContent
End Sub
The spreadsheet that its using for more information, contains A,B,C on a loop in Column A and the odd numbers in Column B.
Thanks for any help your able to provide.
Mark
This will look for a string in Column A, and add to Column C the same row's B Column Value.
Sub find_move()
Dim foundCel As Range
Dim findStr As String, firstAddress As String
Dim i As Long
i = 1
findStr = "A"
Set foundCel = Range("A:A").Find(what:=findStr)
If Not foundCel Is Nothing Then
firstAddress = foundCel.Address
Do
Range("C" & i).Value = foundCel.Offset(0, 1).Value
Set foundCel = Range("A:A").FindNext(foundCel)
i = i + 1
Loop While Not foundCel Is Nothing And foundCel.Address <> firstAddress
End If
End Sub
Note: You should add the worksheet in front of all the range values, i.e. Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A:A").Find(...
Consider:
Sub LookingForA()
Dim s As String, rng As Range, WhichRows() As Long
Dim rFound As Range
ReDim WhichRows(1)
s = "A"
Set rng = Range("A:A")
Set rFound = rng.Find(What:=s, After:=rng(1))
WhichRows(1) = rFound.Row
Cells(1, 3) = Cells(rFound.Row, 2)
Do
Set rFound = rng.FindNext(After:=rFound)
If rFound.Row = WhichRows(1) Then Exit Do
ReDim Preserve WhichRows(UBound(WhichRows) + 1)
WhichRows(UBound(WhichRows)) = rFound.Row
Cells(Cells(Rows.Count, "C").End(xlUp).Row + 1, 3) = Cells(rFound.Row, 2)
Loop
End Sub
This code builds column C. It also builds an internal array of the row numbers in the event they are needed later.

I need to find a way to split some data on excel: e.g.
If a cell has the following in: LWPO0001653/1654/1742/1876/241
All of the info after the / should be LWPO000... with that number.
Is there anyway of separating them out and adding in the LWPO000in? So they come out as LWPO0001653
LWPO0001654
etc etc
I could do manually yes, but i have thousands to do so would take a long time.
Appreciate your help!
Here is a solution using Excel Formulas.
With your original string in A1, and assuming the first seven characters are the one's that get repeated, then:
B1: =LEFT($A1,FIND("/",$A1)-1)
C1: =IF(LEN($A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE($A1,"/",""))< COLUMNS($A:A),"",LEFT($A1,7)&TRIM(MID(SUBSTITUTE(MID($A1,8,99),"/",REPT(" ",99)),(COLUMNS($A:A))*99,99)))
Select C1 and fill right as far as required. Then Fill down from Row 1
EDIT: For a VBA solution, try this code. It assumes the source data is in column A, and puts the results adjacent starting in Column B (easily changed if necessary). It works using arrays within VBA, as doing multiple worksheet read/writes can slow things down. It will handle different numbers of splits in the various cells, although could be shortened if we knew the number of splits was always the same.
Option Explicit
Sub SplitSlash()
Dim vSrc As Variant
Dim rRes As Range, vRes() As Variant
Dim sFirst7 As String
Dim V As Variant
Dim COL As Collection
Dim I As Long, J As Long
Dim lMaxColCount As Long
Set rRes = Range("B1") 'Set to A1 to overwrite
vSrc = Range("a1", Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp))
'If only a single cell, vSrc won't be an array, so change it
If Not IsArray(vSrc) Then
ReDim vSrc(1 To 1, 1 To 1)
vSrc(1, 1) = Range("a1")
End If
'use collection since number of columns can vary
Set COL = New Collection
For I = 1 To UBound(vSrc)
sFirst7 = Left(vSrc(I, 1), 7)
V = Split(vSrc(I, 1), "/")
For J = 1 To UBound(V)
V(J) = sFirst7 & V(J)
Next J
lMaxColCount = IIf(lMaxColCount < UBound(V), UBound(V), lMaxColCount)
COL.Add V
Next I
'Results array
ReDim vRes(1 To COL.Count, 1 To lMaxColCount + 1)
For I = 1 To UBound(vRes, 1)
For J = 0 To UBound(COL(I))
vRes(I, J + 1) = COL(I)(J)
Next J
Next I
'Write results to sheet
Set rRes = rRes.Resize(UBound(vRes, 1), UBound(vRes, 2))
With rRes
.EntireColumn.Clear
.Value = vRes
.EntireColumn.AutoFit
End With
End Sub
I'm clearly missing the point :-) but anyway, in B1 and copied down to suit:
=SUBSTITUTE(A1,"/","/"&LEFT(A1,7))
Select ColumnB, Copy and Paste Special, Values over the top.
Apply Text to Columns to ColumnB, Delimited, with / as the delimiter.
There's a couple of ways to solve this. The quickest is probably:
Assuming that the data is in column A:
Highlight the column, go to Data>>Text To Columns
Choose "Delimited" and in the "Other" box, put /
Click ok. You'll have your data split into multiple cells
Insert a column at B and put in the formula =Left(A1, 7)
Insert a column at C and pit in formula =Right(A1, Length(A1)-7)
You'll now have Column B with your first 7 characters, and columns B,C,D,E,F, etc.. with the last little bit. You can concatenate the values back together for each column you have with =Concatenate(B1,C1), =Concatenate(B1,D1), etc..
A quick VBa, which does nearly the same thing that #Kevin's does as well. I wrote it before I saw his answer, and I hate to throw away work ;)
Sub breakUpCell()
Dim rngInput As Range, rngInputCell As Range
Dim intColumn As Integer
Dim arrInput() As String

Dim strEnd As Variant
'Set the range for the list of values (Assuming Sheet1 and A1 is the start)
Set rngInput = Sheet1.Range("A1").Resize(Sheet1.Range("A1").End(xlDown).Row)
'Loop through each cell in the range
For Each rngInputCell In rngInput
'Split up the values after the first 7 characters using "/" as the delimiter
arrInput = Split(Right(rngInputCell.Value, Len(rngInputCell.Value) - 7), "/")
'grab the first 7 characters
strStart = Left(rngInputCell.Value, 7)
'We'll be writing out the values starting in column 2 (B)
intColumn = 2
'Loop through each split up value and assign to strEnd
For Each strEnd In arrInput
'Write the concatenated value out starting at column B in the same row as rngInputCell
Sheet1.Cells(rngInputCell.Row, intColumn).Value = strStart & strEnd
'Head to the next column (C, then D, then E, etc)
intColumn = intColumn + 1
Next strEnd
Next rngInputCell
End Sub
Here is how you can do it with a macro:
This is what is happening:
1) Set range to process
2) Loop through each cell in range and check it isn't blank
3) If the cell contains the slash character then split it and process
4) Skip the first record and concatenate "LWPO000" plus the current string to adjacent cells.
