Does anyone know how I can paste the find all into a new column in the same
corasponding row number? I did a copy from the "Findfind all" list by right clicking the list then do "copy". Those cells (non-adjacent cells) get highlighted but when I past it in the next column to the same row it pastes the list in order not in the correct cell. Must I use formulas to do this and if so which formula? HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP! thanks |

Maybe you could use a formula instead of the edit|Find.
Say your data is in Columns A:E and you were looking for Ben in any cell in that range, you could use a formula like this: =if(countif(a1:e1,"Ben")0,"Ben","") and drag down This formula will count the cell only if Ben is the only thing in that cell. If Ben is in that cell with other stuff like "Benny and June", you could use a different formula: =if(countif(a1:E1,"*ben*")0,"Ben","") and drag down Ben wrote: Does anyone know how I can paste the find all into a new column in the same corasponding row number?

Ben,
you could try an "IF" formula in the next collumn i.e =IF(A1="your text to find",your text to find,"") then edit/fill/down and then possibly to remove the formulas edit/copy edit/pastespecial/values Ben wrote: Does anyone know how I can paste the find all into a new column in the same corasponding row number?

Darren, Thanks for the help however this formula is not working. I am looking
in one column 20000 + rows long for a part of a few words, example: Woodman Park Apartments or Woodman Park Apts I am looking for the word Apartments or Apts. That word(s) will not be the only word in any of the cells. Do you have a formula that would look for either word? Thanks. I am a relativly new to formulas.

If you were looking for APTS in anywhere in a cell, you could use:
=if(countif(a1,"*APTS*")1,"APTS","") And drag down. But since you're looking for a few things: =if(sum(countif(a1,{"*apts*","*apartments*"}))0," Found it","") I'd guess that when you changed the formula to look at a single cell, something went wrong.

Dave,
Thanks for your help! I am pulling my hair out here (and I don't have much left l.o.l.); what am I missing? What I am trying to do is if a formula finds the word "Apts" or "Apartments" (non-case sensative) as part of a string of words in a cell, I want it to paste the whole string of words to a new cell on the same row in a new column. Ex. If it finds "Cedar Woods Apartments" in d2 I want it to copy "Cedar Woods Apartments" into e2. If it goes to d3 and the word is not in the cell, I want it to return a blank cell in e3 and so forth and so on down the e3 column. Once I have the correct formula I know I can drag the formula down to the last row and it will create a formula for the corresponding row. I also know how to copypaste specialshow values to remove the formula(s). So you understand what I am doing, I am a Commercial Real Estate broker and am trying to extract the ownership vs. property name(s) of a property from a 20000+ row list of properties. Some ownership names on title include the word APT or Apartment in it and generally it is also the same name as the building. So I am trying to create a new column called "Property Name" (starting at G2) from the "Owner on Title" column (starting at D2). So, therefore I am not trying to get a true or false or "got it" answer, rather what is actually , totally in the cell & to be pasted to the cell in the same row so I keep the right property name with the correct address, etc. I am not just looking to find, but to do a find and then paste. I hope you can help and your time is greatly appreaciated. Thanks!

Dave, YOU ARE A GENIOUS! IT WORKS!!!!!!!!
Now for one last request if you would be so kind to assist me. Some of the word stings in the same cells I am trying to move over have things like LLC or Ltd or Co or Limited or Partnership etc. tacked on to the end. How might I make a new or several new formulas for each word I am looking for to strip. (of course I would have to make a new column for each until they are all stripped, Unless I make one other IF formula looking for seveal word to strip.) Thanks for your help again and I wish you and yours a happy and prosperous New Year in 2006! Regards, "Ben" wrote: Dave, Thanks for your help!

![]() Dave, No, I did it exactly as your e-mail indicated. I actually did a cut and paste from your thread. I did not want to complicate the first task to move the data over. The data in the original column has the suffix to many of word strings like "CO, Corp, LP, LLC LTD," or others etc after the word Apartment. Some have no suffix and that is pulled over in the [your] first formula. I supose I could write a new formula that removes the text that I want to eliminate or I coulld add it to the same string. All I need is the proper formula and can add in those words I am looking to strip. I just thought it would be a less complicated formula to do in two different steps and would elimnate any possible error msg. in the original formula. Thanks once again, you have been a great help. I have been working on this for days and was too stubborn to go online for help; I went to excell help and wanted to figure it out myself. So, therefore I am indeed grateful.

If it goes to d3 and the word is not in the cell, I want it to return a blank cell in e3 and so forth and so on down the e3 column. Once I have the correct formula I know I can drag the formula down to the last row and it will create a formula for the corresponding row. I also know how to copypaste specialshow values to remove the formula(s). So you understand what I am doing, I am a Commercial Real Estate broker and am trying to extract the ownership vs. property name(s) of a property from a 20000+ row list of properties. Some ownership names on title include the word APT or Apartment in it and generally it is also the same name as the building. So I am trying to create a new column called "Property Name" (starting at G2) from the "Owner on Title" column (starting at D2). So, therefore I am not trying to get a true or false or "got it" answer, rather what is actually , totally in the cell & to be pasted to the cell in the same row so I keep the right property name with the correct address, etc. I am not just looking to find, but to do a find and then paste. I hope you can help and your time is greatly appreaciated. Thanks!

You should be able to just add more strings "*yourwordhere*" (in double quotes
and surrounded by asterisks) to that formula. That may be enough?? Ben wrote: Dave, No, I did it exactly as your e-mail indicated. I actually did a cut and paste from your thread.

Dave, The reason I am so anal about this is because I am using a database
that has different field set up for ownership and then the name of the property etc in the past when I did not clean up the data before I imported into the data base program I several thousand messed up field that I had to replace one by one in order to do a good and clean mail merge for the biz. I vowed to rebuild my 2006 database right and clean up all cells and data before the import. Sorry for such a detailed explanation but hopelly you understand a little better my plight to have this as close to perfect as I can once and for all! Thanks.

I think I'd just use Edit|replace to get rid of those words.
You could build a list in another worksheet, then cycle through that list doing a bunch of edit|replace's. I created a new sheet (sheet2) and put LTD LLC In column A of that sheet. The thing I wanted to do was be able to change: "Apartments LLC" to "Apartments" and "LTD Something" to "Something", so I figured the code should look for leading or trailing spaces. I'd try this against a saved copy of the file--if it does too much damage, just close without saving: Option Explicit Sub testme() Dim myCell As Range Dim RngToChange As Range Dim ValsToFixRng As Range With Worksheets("Sheet1") Set RngToChange = .Columns(4) End With With Worksheets("sheet2") Set ValsToFixRng = .Range("a1", .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp)) End With For Each myCell In ValsToFixRng.Cells RngToChange.Replace what:=myCell.Value & " ", _ replacement:="", _ lookat:=xlPart, searchorder:=xlByRows, _ MatchCase:=False RngToChange.Replace what:=" " & myCell.Value, _ replacement:="", _ lookat:=xlPart, searchorder:=xlByRows, _ MatchCase:=False RngToChange.Replace what:=myCell.Value, _ replacement:="", _ lookat:=xlPart, searchorder:=xlByRows, _ MatchCase:=False Next myCell End Sub If you're new to macros, you may want to read David McRitchie's intro at: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/getstarted.htm Ben wrote: Dave, I am looing to find all those with APT or Apartments but stip any word like llc or ltd or the like before it pulls the cell over.

Dave,
Ok, now you're starting to tlk Chineese to me! You are like working on a doctorite and I am in 1st grade when it comes to these formulas (although I did get an a in algebra, that was many, many moons ago.) You have been most gratious with your time and the responses in a short turnaround. I know you probably have your own work to do and I undersand if you can't spend any more time with this. I do appreciate what you have done thusfar! I did not think I would have to use macros to do this. I am familiar with creating macros in Filemaker but never have done it in excel. I may just have to do edit replace, however, that means retyping each property name as I go along and that was what I was trying to avoid. Each property name is unique unto itself and that is why I need to strip the whole column of several different trailing words to each name. If you are able to write an example of what I must do using the "the ceder woodside apartments LLC" and "Main Steet Apts, Corp" as an example, I would creat a new column for each word I was looking for one at a time. Thanks again, and again, and again... "Dave Peterson" wrote: I think I'd just use Edit|replace to get rid of those words.

I am pulling my hair out here (and I don't have much left l.o.l.); what am I missing? What I am trying to do is if a formula finds the word "Apts" or "Apartments" (non-case sensative) as part of a string of words in a cell, I want it to paste the whole string of words to a new cell on the same row in a new column. Ex. If it finds "Cedar Woods Apartments" in d2 I want it to copy "Cedar Woods Apartments" into e2. If it goes to d3 and the word is not in the cell, I want it to return a blank cell in e3 and so forth and so on down the e3 column. Once I have the correct formula I know I can drag the formula down to the last row and it will create a formula for the corresponding row. I also know how to copypaste specialshow values to remove the formula(s). So you understand what I am doing, I am a Commercial Real Estate broker and am trying to extract the ownership vs. property name(s) of a property from a 20000+ row list of properties. Some ownership names on title include the word APT or Apartment in it and generally it is also the same name as the building. So I am trying to create a new column called "Property Name" (starting at G2) from the "Owner on Title" column (starting at D2). So, therefore I am not trying to get a true or false or "got it" answer, rather what is actually , totally in the cell & to be pasted to the cell in the same row so I keep the right property name with the correct address, etc. I am not just looking to find, but to do a find and then paste.

You could use a formula like:
=trim(substitute(d2,"LLC","")) and =trim(substitute(d2,"Corp","")) But you may find that you still have manual effort to do to fix things like that left over comma: "Main Steet Apts, Corp" would become "Main Steet Apts," And "Main Steet Apts, Corporation" would become "Main Steet Apts, oration" === Personally, I think I'd go with the Edit|Replace stuff. But remember to save your data when you're happy with the resulting changes. Then if you change too much, you can still close without saving and not lose too much. Ben wrote: Dave, Ok, now you're starting to tlk Chineese to me! You are like working on a doctorite and I am in 1st grade when it comes to these formulas (although I did get an a in algebra, that was many, many moons ago.)

I do appreciate what you have done thusfar! I did not think I would have to use macros to do this. I am familiar with creating macros in Filemaker but never have done it in excel. I may just have to do edit replace, however, that means retyping each property name as I go along and that was what I was trying to avoid. Each property name is unique unto itself and that is why I need to strip the whole column of several different trailing words to each name.
