HI, If this works to find a word within a cell… =ISNUMBER(SEARCH(C1,Sheet2!C$1)) Why doesn’t this… =ISNUMBER(SEARCH(C1,Sheet2!C:D,2)) … to find a word from within a range of cells, and return back a word from the 2nd column? Many thanks.

Hi, if you look at the “data lookup” tab and on b1, and enter a resource id 958799. The data below should return all the data from columns K,M,O and Q from the tab “all” However, my formulas are only returning data from column K in the tab "all". I also would like to add a lookup to search by the name as well in C1 in the "data lookup" tab

Can we write VBA code to that does what I currently do with Solver? First a search for any numbers in the following cells: D24,F24,H24,J24,L24,D29,F29,H29,J29,L29,D34,F34,H34,J34,L34,D39,F39,H39,J39,L39. If any found numbers I do a calculation using solver. The Solver calculation is (cell I12 has 15.55 in it) as follows: Cell D42 = 2 Cell E42 = D42+15.55 Cell F42 = D42/2*B15 using solver - $D$1 = 2.00 SOLVER Parameters: set target cell $E$42 Min value excel 0 By changing cell $D$42 subject to the constraints - $D$42 = $F$42 The answer is 25.92 and will placed in the cell below the found cell. That's it.

I need to be able to input a given date and have a search done that returns the account balance for that given date, It will also search the (date, balance) data table for the closest date to the input date for each previous year and return the "account balance" data for each of the previous years for that date (or closest one to it) - also % change from year on year too.
