Return column heading
Hi
I have a large list of pupils effort grades within the subjects that they are studying: the list of all the subjects (about 18) is in row 1, pupil names in column 1. If John Smith is studying music, and is awarded a 'A', how can I search the row for the 'A', and return the column heading (i.e. Music)? I've tried lookups and match and offset, but to no avail. I'm obviously missing something... Thanks Tubthumper |

Return column heading
Thanks for the link - some useful tips there for me. However, because I
don't know which column has the 'grade', I can't get it to look across the row, find the 'A', and then return the column heading for that 'A'. Here's hoping!

Hi,
What if the student has more than 1 "A"? Do you want a list of subjects for which he got an "A"? Regards - Dave. |

Return column heading
Hi,
Put this macro into a module and run it. Answer the questions it asks. Is the result roughly what you want? Sub ListSubjects() Dim Grade As String Dim A As Integer Dim B As Integer Dim C As Integer Dim D As Integer Dim E As Integer A = InputBox("What is the Row Number of the first student?") B = InputBox("What is the Column Number of the first Subject?" & Chr(10) & "(A=1, B=2 etc)") C = InputBox("What is the Row Number or your subject headers?") D = InputBox("What is the Column Number of your student names?" & Chr(10) & "(A=1, B=2 etc)") E = InputBox("What column would you like the results put into?" & Chr(10) & "(A=1, B=2 etc)") Grade = InputBox("What grade do you want listed?") Do Until Cells(A, D) = "" For i = 1 To 18 If Cells(A, B) = Grade Then Cells(A, E) = Cells(A, 20) & " " & Cells(C, B) B = B + 1 Next i B = 2 A = A + 1 Loop End Sub You'll have to unwrap any lines that have been wrapped by this newsgroup format. Be sure to input Column Numbers when asked (1, 2, 3 etc - not A, B, C etc) Regards - Dave. |
