I am working on Excel report in which I need to pass a link which can take me to a cell referenced.
In below example, I have two sheets on same workbook. Now if I click on cell "A1" on Sheet:1, then it should take me to cell "E1" on Sheet:2.
I know by paste special I can pass hyperlink, but tricky part is data on Sheet:2 is dynamic so I can't go that route.
After looking on Google, I have found out multiple things, so I clubbed them together but it is throwing error "Reference is not valid".
Here is the formula that I've used on cell "A1" on Sheet:1:
=HYPERLINK("[Sample.xlsx]Sheet:2!(ADDRESS(MATCH(""ABC"",BEFORE,0),MATCH(""ABC"",BEFORE,0),1))","ABC")
Here BEFORE is a name range that covers A1 to E1.
Sheet:1
a b c d e
1. abc
Sheet:2
a b c d e
1. x x x x abc
Appreciate your inputs.
=HYPERLINK("[Sample.xlsx]'Sheet2'!" & ADDRESS(1,MATCH("abc",BEFORE,0)),"ABC")
If your sheet name might have spaces then make sure to add the single quotes around the name.

In a workbook I have, users either manually enter an account code or select one from a list and the account codes are placed in column C (C7:C446) in a sheet called "JE". The account codes look like this ####### - ### - ## - ######. In column D (D7:D446) in sheet "JE", there is a formula that captures the last 6 digits of the account code. In a sheet called "required_refs", there is a list of 6 digit codes in column A. If the value in the D column in sheet "JE" equals any of the values in column A of "required_refs" sheet, I would like the value in the D column cell to overwrite the cell value in cell D1 in a separate sheet called "references" (I know that may have been confusing, sorry)
Example: if the value of D25 matches any of the values listed in column A of sheet "required_refs", upon double clicking a red colored F25 cell, put the value of D25 (of sheet "JE"), and put it in cell D1 on sheet "references".
I've taken a crack at it as best I know how. I've placed this code in sheet JE:
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
Dim project As Range: Set project = Range("D7:D446")
Dim param As Range: Set param = Worksheets("references").Range("D1").Value
For Each cell In project
If project.Value = Worksheets("required_refs").Range("A:A").Value Then
Call gotoRef_ 'macro that simply selects/navigates to the required_ref sheet
project.Value = param
End If
End Sub
Thanks so much in advance for any suggestions on how to complete this. I can elaborate on this further if needed.
This will do what you want:
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
If Intersect(Target, Range("F7:F446")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
Dim varReference As Variant
varReference = Columns("D").Cells(Target.Row).Value2
If Not IsError(Application.Match(varReference, Worksheets("required_refs").Columns("A"), 0)) Then
Worksheets("references").Range("D1").Value = varReference
End If
End Sub
Important Points:
Whenever working with event handlers, always limit the scope of the target range in the first line. Otherwise, it might not work correctly or it could slow done your spreadsheet.
Make sure your JE sheet column D values and required_refs sheet column A values are all either text or numbers. Otherwise the values won't be compared correctly.
Note the usage of Application.Match() instead of WorksheetFunction.Match() to access the worksheet function. This, coupled with the use of a Variant type variable, allows us to trap the error that occurs if the match fails.
You can always do this on the sheet. Consider the MATCH function. See here for how to use MATCH.
Or another great tool if you're searching for something in a table associated with a value in another column (not your case I don't think)--VLOOKUP formula. Place this formula in the D cell of the sheet you want to place the numbers in. VLOOKUP is in the following format:
=vlookup(lookup value,table_array,column index number, [range lookup])
The lookup value is the 6 digit code you're looking for (on the JE sheet)
The table_array is simply selecting the values you want to search for (required_refs sheet)
The column index number would be one, since the table only has 1 column. It's basically the column number of the value you're looking for.
And range lookup is for if you think there might be more than one place where it matches.
For your case I think it would look like this:
=vlookup('JE'!D1,'required_refs'!A1:A,1,FALSE)
Then just lock the values you want to keep and click and drag down.

I have two excel files (file 1 with sheet 1 and file 2 with sheet 2).
Both have inside, in column A all the names (for example in A1: "a", in A2: "b" etc etc), in column B the values of relative lenghts (for example in B1: "2", in B2: "3" etc etc) but the orders of the things in the two sheets are different; so, I would want to say: "if the name in a cell in column A of sheet 1 is the same of the name in a cell in column A of sheet 2, so compare the relative values in column B and write TRUE in column C of one of the sheet (if the values are identical) or FALSE"
for you is possible? could you help me, please?
thanks in advance
If Sheet1 has
a 5
b 6
c 7
d 8
and Sheet2 has
c 3
d 8
a 5
then you can type
=IFERROR(IF(B1=INDIRECT("Sheet2!B"&MATCH(A1,Sheet2!A$1:A$4,0)),"Match Found",""),"")
into cell C1 of Sheet1 and drag the fill handle down and you will get
Match Found
Match Found
in column C of Sheet1. No VBA needed. :)
Note: Since your second sheet is actually in a separate file, you'll want to change Sheet2 to [file2.xlsx]Sheet1 in cell C1.
If you want to avoid INDIRECT function then try the following:
Assuming your Sheet1 of file1 is as follows:
And Sheet2 of another file is like:
Enter the following formula in Cell C1 of `Sheet2' and drag/copy it down as required.
=IFERROR(IF(B1=INDEX([file1.xlsx]Sheet1!$B$1:$B$5,MATCH(A1,[file1.xlsx]Sheet1!$A$1:$A$5,0)),TRUE),FALSE)
I would want to copy the word TRUE, only if I compare the same cell of the two sheets and I find that only a part of the name of that cell is the same ( because in reality in cell there is not only a, b, c but a sentence for example as "Sample 1 SX arrow" and others as "Sample 1 DX arrow") and so I want to put in column C the word TRUE only if not complete name in column A are the same but only part of the sentence ( for ecample only the part "SX arrow"!!!
How can I add this in the loop ?
I have to create a macro which will:
Get the value from the cell A1 search this value in column C.
If the value in cell A1 exists in column C, the macro needs to be compare the value in cell B1 with values in column D.
If the value in cell A1 exists in column C AND the value in cell B1 exists in column D, then the text "Values found" should appear in cell E1.
The above needs to happen for all non empty rows in column A.
I was trying to use the following formula:
=IF(ISERROR(MATCH(A2,$C$2:$C$138,0)),"Load number not found","Load number found")
But it not working as I want. I have limited access to internet so I can't check all web sites. Would you please help me. Thanks a lot.
To check if A1 is in column C and if B1 is in column D (in the same row A1 was found in column C), then you need to do the following:
=IF(ISERROR(MATCH(A1,$C:$C,0)),"Load number not found",IF(B1=INDEX($D:$D,MATCH(A1,$C:$C,0),1),"Load number found","Load number not found"))
The first IF checks if A1 is in column C, the second IF checks if B1 is in column D (in the same row A1 was found in column C)
It will return "Load number found" only if both conditions are true. Otherwise it will return "Load number not found".
You can write a macro to do the same thing. But the easier way is to lock the cells in column E only and protect the sheet so that users will not accidentally change any of the formulas.
Update:
Since Column C can have duplicates, need to use the following array formula:
=IF(ISERROR(MATCH(1,(A1=$C:$C)*(B1=$D:$D),0)),"Load number not found","Load number found")
When you paste this formula to E1, make sure to press CTRL + Shift + Enter instead of just pressing the Enter key.
If I understand, a conventional solution with formulae is to concatenate your C and D column data and then search that. If you insert a new columnC with:
=D2&E2
copied down to suit you could apply (but say in ColumnF rather than ColumnE) your existing formula with only slight modification:
=IF(ISERROR(MATCH(A1&B1,$C$2:$C$138,0)),"Load number not found","Load number found")
subject to quite what is in which row.

I am working in excel with a datasheet that is 1000 rows and 15 columns. Currently, in one of the columns, I have a lot of data mixed in with people names (see below for an example). I want to see how many times each person's name appears in the datasheet, so I can use it in a pivot table. There is no particular format or order to the way names appear. It is random. Is there a way to code in excel to search through that whole column and give me a count of the amount of times each person's name appears?
Column D
21421Adam14234
2323xxx Bob 66
23 asjdxx Jacob 665
43 Tim 5935539
2394Bob 88
After some trial and error, I can generate a list of names, one per row and place them in a different column for comparison sake, if that makes it easier.
I know you have got your answer but why not use COUNTIF with Wild Cards? You don't need VBA for this :)
See this example
=COUNTIF($A$1:$A$5,"*"&C1&"*")
SNAPSHOT
You don't have VBA tagged, but I don't know if there is a way to do this without it. I've built a custom function below. To implement it, take the following steps.
1) List desired names starting at column E1.
2) Insert this function into VBA Editor
A) Presss Alt + F11
B) Click Insert > Module from menu bar
C) Copy this code into Module
Option Explicit
Function findString(rngString As Range, rngSearch As Range) As Long
Dim cel As Range
Dim i As Integer
i = 0
For Each cel In rngSearch
If InStr(1, cel.Text, rngString.Value) > 0 Then
cel.offset(,-1) = rngString.Value 'places the name in cell to right of search range
i = i + 1
End If
Next
findString = i
End Function
3) In F1 type the following formula
=findstring(E1,$D$1:$D$5)
4) Run the formula down column F to get the count of each desired name.
