Can i search a document for text in column a to return the entire row if column a matches in a separate sheet?

Can i search multiple sheets in a document for text in column a to return the entire row if column a matches in a
separate sheet?

Thank you, Barry. That was helpful, and am hopeful that what I want to do is possible.
I am creating a spreadsheet that currently has 20 sheets, of which certain sheets have more than one table.  I will be adding more sheets.  I would like to return results for all occurences of the search string.  Preferably into a seperate spreadsheet.  It would be perfect if that seperate sheet updated whenever I update information in the first spreadsheet.  To give an example:
Sheet:     baskets
     Tables:         straw
                         wire
Sheet:      barware
     Tables:          glasses
                          decanters
                          coasters
My tables all have the same titiels:
Vendor      Description     Cost     Selling Price
Since I will have upwards of 100 sheets, with multiple tables, and most of my vendors will fit into multiple sheet categories, it would be helpful if I could also see what my order will be from each vendor, not just who I will be ordering each item from.  How would I do that? 
I hope I conveyed that properly. 
Thank you in advance for your help,
Rana

  • Is it possible to search multiple documents for text?

    I have several hundred fake newspaper cuttings that I have generated in Photoshop CS4, in which there are multiple layers of text. I want to search for certain words within all those cuttings, similar to the way I can search for words in InDesign or PDF across multiple documents.
    Is that possible, either from within PS or by using third-party software?

    I’ve given it some thought and I think Scripting would be the best way after all.
    I’ve asked about accessing the texts in a psd without actually opening it in Photoshop in the Scripting Forum, but I’ve been told it might be speedier to actually open the files in psd, so some BrigeTalk might be necessary.
    Anyway I wonder if one should upon running the Script create text-files with all the psd-files’ collected texts so that subsequent searches wouldn’t necessitate repeated opening – of course that means risking searching obsolete lists (unless one institutes checks for relative change-dates or some such).
    A way that aims much shorter would be to transfer all the textItem.contents to the File Info’s Description with a comparatively simple Script and search the Contents in the Finder.

    I just got my Droid Razr Maxx HD 2 weeks ago and so far I can only find that the "little" green LED light flashes when have a text, email, or voicemail. That light is pathetic..really I can barely see it?
    Is there a way to make an audible alert the reoccurrs?

  • How can I copy a paragraph of text from a Kindle book on the iPad?

    I just purchased a book to read on the Kindle app on my iPad.
    I would like to copy a paragraph of text to email to someone or to possibly quote in a blog post.
    How can I copy a paragraph of text from a Kindle book on the iPad?

    I'm very late to the conversation but thought I'd chime in since I've just been dealing with this myself. One way to copy from Kindle books is to make sure that you have your settings to backup highlights etc. online, then highlight the text in the Kindle app, go to your Kindle webpage (https://kindle.amazon.com/your_highlights) and copy the text from there.
    Remember, to be able to do this you have to set the app to backup highlights etc. I think this is set individually for each book. On my iPad the default is to backup.

    This work around has always worked, it may make some changes to transitions but better that than be unable to  open. 
    Export  from version 6 as a PowerPoint, choose PowerPoint 2003 in the in advanced options.
    Once you have the PowerPoint file open in Keynote.

  • Need help! Can't validate date overlaps for a tabular column

    Hello all,
    The validation I created to validate whether new or updates rows does not overlap with any records in the table isn't working.
    The columns are StartDt and EndDt
    Validation Type: NOT EXISTS
    Validation expresion:
    select 1
        from  sample S
        WHERE S.STARTDT BETWEEN :STARTDT AND :ENDDT
    OR(S.ENDDT BETWEEN :STARTDT AND :ENDDT)
    or (S.STARTDT <= :STARTDT and S.ENDDT >= :ENDDT)
    or (:STARTDT <= S.STARTDT and :ENDDT >= S.ENDDT)
    Error Message:
    Times overlap
    When Buttons pressed
    -Select Button-
    The validation works if a new row or updated row overlaps any existing start and end date records but it doesn't work if I update startdate and end date rows that doesn't overlap existing date times
    Example:
    TABLE DISPLAYS THE FOLLOWING RECORDS
    NAME                   START DATE                      END DATE
    TEST                    1/1/2012                               12/31/2012
    If I update the rows to the following values, I receive an error message (although those values don't overlap any records in the table)
    NAME                   START DATE                      END DATE
    TEST                    6/1/2012                               10/30/2012
    Any ideas? Do I need to change my code?

    Message was edited by: CharlieMack

    Logic for date range overlap testing only requires two conditions in the WHERE clause:
    ORACLE-BASE - Overlapping Date Ranges
    WHERE S.STARTDT <= :ENDDT AND S.ENDDT >= :STARTDT -- TRUE for ranges that overlap
    It looks a little odd, but, if you scribble out a 'logic table', it makes sense.
    Condition
    A.start <= B.end
    A.end >= B.start
    A__A B--B
    true
    false
    A__B=A--B
    true
    true
    A__B==B__A
    true
    true
    B--A==B__A
    true
    true
    B--B A__A
    false
    true

    Why can't I see documents using adobe reader even though I have the most updated version?

    Hi lawalton,
    Please tell me a bit more--what happens when you try to open your files in Reader? Are you getting an error message? Do they open, but don't display correctly?
    I look forward to hearing back from you so we can get this mystery sorted out.
    Best,

  • Hi I am attempting to use a Zed R-16 with Logic Pro 9,  how can I setup a bounce for output 17-18  this is where the mixer sums (the audio outputs on the zed come through 17-18)

    hi I am attempting to use a Zed R-16 with Logic Pro 9,  how can I setup a bounce for output 17-18  this is where the mixer sums (the audio outputs on the zed come through 17-18)
    I would like to be able to quickly bounce down my mixes,  through the Zed outputs. 

    Pancenter...
    Yes... but I have come across some setups that came with a native SL (and even one Lion!) installation.. that somehow had a corrupted or older Prokit installed for some unknown reason... and given it's a quick fix to try.. I thought I'd mention it..
    I frankly don't think it is entirely a Prokit issue itself, but it wouldn't do any harm to try and install v7 just in case it is part of the problem...
    +1 on the UAD stuff....
    Also, at the time it crashed... according to the logs...the OP was running Ableton Live at the same time, presumably rewired with Logic... so add all that together with UAD plugins... and that's quite a load on the system...
    Finally in thread 32 there is a weird exception msg relating to the Trash2 plugin.. that I haven't seen before...
    Thread 32:
    0   libSystem.B.dylib      
    0x94c29afa mach_msg_trap + 10
    1   libSystem.B.dylib

    4   libSystem.B.dylib

    That might be nothing... but as i said, I haven't seen that one before and given what else is going on.. it might be involved too... or nothing to do with that at all!

  • How can I get Numbers to return the first row in a group of VLOOKUP query results instead of last one?

    I'm trying to query from one table (call it Table1) a batch of rows in another table (Table2) using VLOOKUP on a date specified in the first table (Table1). My problem is it's returning the last incident in Table2 of the requested date instead of the first incident. This really breaks the OFFSET scheme I'd like to use to collect the rest of the items for that date. Is there some way to compel VLOOKUP to return the first row of query results, not the last?
    NOTE: I see I've asked this before, but forgot to go back and look at responses given. It's been a while and I've limped along until now with the way things were. I'm actually trying to delete this questions, so if you see it, ignore it. I suppose if someone can tell me real quick how to delete a stupid question, that might be helpful.

  • I m trying to manage space in my iPhone but what I find is I m not able to delete document data alone of an application without deleting the entire application ... Any other suggestions or methods to accompanish this? Any pointers welcome... Is this a bug

    You mean take the cover off of the iPhone, to look inside?  I'd recommend against it.  Even with warranty expired, you might qualify for an out-of-warranty service, which for 3GS is $149.
    Other than that, any repair/service options are going to cost money.  You might want to see if a wireless carrier will let you get a new contract & phone.
    Out of curiousity, you're just using at as, basically, an iPod Touch, if there's no cell provider?  Did I understand that correctly?
