2 Lists And Finding New And Canceled Data Through VBA
Nov 30, 2006
I have 2 sets lists which should be identical, but every day I get give one new file which I have to compare to the other one. I need to find new data and removed data in the new file.
It is a dynamic list, but I need to check every day that all the data that was there yesterday is also there today. If not then I need to be told which data is missing and which data is new (maybe thrrough a pop up box and a new sheet with a new and cnacles coloumn).
A Example of the data is below. On day1 everything matches. On day 2 Grapes is a new entry, so I need this flagged up.
On day 3, pears hsave disappeared, I need this flagged up.
What would be great is to have a messgae box pop up and say "2 new entiries and 3 deletions - Please refer top Changes tab". And then the new/deleted entries will be in a seperate sheet.
I have tried searching this on the site, but can't find anything (I can't beleive problem like this is not on the website) - If there is an article would you be able to point me to it.
Day1
orangeapple
pearorange
applepear
bananabanana
Day2
orangeapple
pearorange
applepear
bananabanana
grapes
Day3
orangeapple
pearorange
applebanana
bananagrapes
grapes

I have two lists of numbers.
The first list contains site numbers of people who havent responded to me.
The second list is the master list of site numbers along with a column showing the date they responded.
Now, a site number is built like this:
123456/0001
123456/0002
So it is possible for the same 6 digits to appear more than once in the master list.
What I need to do is to compare the first 6 digits in the non responder list against the master list, because some sites, like the example above, may have more than one '0001' tag and so if they have responded to me from site '0002' I dont want to spam their other sites with emails.
I've tried using match and various formulas I've found from google etc, but nothing seems to work!
The goal of this is to get a list of non respondents that have not responded from any of their sites listed in the master list.
Non Responses
Master List
Date of Response
203289/0001
201162/0003
06/06/12
[code]...

I have two different lists of names. One is about 3000 names long and the other has about 3500 names. I want to identify the 500 people that are not in the first list that are in the second. If there anyway to do this? I was going to put them in A-Z order and then go through and using an IF(A=B,"yes","no") and go through and insert new cell when ever it says no till it says yes BUT the functions start messing up when I insert a new row and it's taking way too long.

I have two lists and wish to compare them to identify duplicate values. I have used Duplicate Values in Conditional formatting but cannot find a way of ensuring an exact match. For example one list has the value 4150 and the other list has other values like 5641509 and 341508, both of which contain the string 4150 but are clearly not the same value. However, the conditional formatting is picking these up as duplicate values.

Is there a way to make a drop-down list optional? When I create drop-down lists the user has to make a choice from that list.
Example: a list of doctors. I need the user to be able to select from that list if the patient saw one of those physicians, but if the patient saw another doctor not on the list, I need the user to be able to enter the name of that other doctor. Currently the user has to select from the list or not enter a doctor. I am using Excel 2003.

I would like to have a list that when one of the items is chosen, it brings up a second list and so on.
Therefore, list 4 will depend on what was chosen from List 3 which will depend on List 2 which will depend on List 1.
I'm not sure if macro's are required.
I have attached a file that lists out a Decision Tree (Decision Tree Tab).
I also have a Form tab which is where I have the decisions that need to be made.
So, in the Gender Row I can choose Male or Female. If I choose Male, then the Interests list should contain Cars, Sports or Colors.
Type will depend on which I chose and finally, Detail will depend on which Type I chose.

1) Imagine i have a row 1 with names, column 1 with bank account numbers, and under each name corresponding to each bank account it says "yes" or "no" depending on whether or not they are authorized on the bank account. How do i make 2 drop down lists, 1 with bank account numbers that produces the names which are authorized on the account and visa versa (list with names showing bank a/c numbers). It needs to be able to be updated easily.
2) Suppose I have the table as described above and another excel file with 1 column as bank a/c's and another column is authorized bank users. In this column however each cell just has a bunch of names for example one cell may contain (james, john, jack, jennifer, bill). Is there anyway to check these names against the ones in the table from the other spread sheet?

I have two lists of serial numbers which I want to compare to find those number which are not in both lists. I have used the following formula: =IF(A2=$G$2:$G$283,"",A2) where A2 equals the first cell in list 1, G2:G283 the range of the second list, true value "" false value display the contents of the original cell.
This works so far; where the contents in the A and G cells are the same on the row eg A2 and G2, but where they are different the contents of the A cell are being returned even if they are elsewhere in the range.

I need to map 2 reports to show if they are equal.
One report has 2 columns with name and amount of what was sent to a vendor.
The second report has 2 columns with name and amount of what they received.
The second report name column has account number added so the column won't be exact.
I need to compare the 2 reports to see if the same name and amount was correctly sent/received
Example:
Report 1 (sent)
Column 1-Name Sandra
Column 2-Amount $100
Report 2 (received)
Column 1-Name Sandra/284578
Column 2-Amount $100
I am not sure how to display my findings. I would need to identify what is not matching.

I have a very large spreadsheet that I work with on a daily basis. The main portion of the spreadsheet is broken down into weekly sections (for example, columns GF thru GM contain data sections for one week, which then repeats with the next set of columns, etc.). Below these weekly sections are detail and summary sections for all the data entered above. In the main weekly portion, each week contains a size drop-down list which calls to size information in the detail portion below. Recently, the data validation lists have started disappearing. By disappearing, I mean that the data validation for the cell no longer exists on a large portion of the list cells. I have tried recreating all of the data validations, saving the file, and re-opening it, and when I do, they've disappeared again. I have no idea what to do at this point. The functionality of the spreadsheet is crippled without the sizing drop-down lists (for various lookup reasons).

See the attached example. I have created a dependent data validation. The list available in B2 is dependent on the item chosen in Cell A2.
What I would like to know is how do I expand this validation down columns A and B. I don't want to have to add the validation in each cell individually!

I'm working on two almost identical lists but because of their nature, some rows are repeated on one of the sheets and so on. I need help matching some cells onto the other sheet. I tried the VLOOKUP formula but it doesn't work since some rows are repeated... I need the match to link especifically a Name with it's correspondent Value, regardless of the position of the name in either of the sheets and whether it is repeated or not.

I cannot seem to add more dependents using this code. I think it is in the "If / then / else" structure that it is limited to only those three "groups". But I need to be able to add at least one more dependent list to the code.

I am trying to make two dependant lists in Excel. Using data validation lists, is it possible to, for example, select a country from one list, then select a city in that country from another list. For example, if I select France from one list, I only want the list of cities to include French cities, rather than the entire list of cities in the list.

I have a matrix of mixed numbers (going across many columns and rows) in Sheet1. They are a mix of positive and negative numbers, In Sheet2 I need 2 lists to be automatically displayed, taken from the data in Sheet1.
The first list (column) is for positive numbers only, the second is for negative numbers.
There is one filter: only numbers over a specified value (for the positive list) must be used from the data, and only numbers under a specified value (for the negative list) must be used from the data. The 2 filters can be stored in any cells in Sheet2 (the worksheet where the lists will be), lets say, for ease of use, A1 and B1.
But here's the tricky part: I need the location reference of each number in the matrix displayed next to the number in the list!!! Eg: in the matrix, I have names running down the left (A2 to A25) and the same names in the same order running across the top (B1 to Y1) - just like any basic matrix! If A6 is called "John" and L1 is called "Pete" and their value (at cell L6) is 10, then I need them to be displayed in the "positive list" amongst the others (sorted automatically into numerical order) with the words "John" in the cell to the right of the score, and "Pete" in the one after that to the right: so it will look like:
A2 B2 C2
10 John Pete
(remember that these 2 lists are on Sheet2, not on the matrix worsheet! A1 and B1 contain the 2 filters for the positive and negative lists).
Of course, this must only happen if the filter in A1 (the positive filter) is 10 or under. If it was anything above 10, then this one would not make the list.
As for duplicates in the matrix coming up twice in the lists, that's not a problem this wont matter! It's ok for the lists to have constant duplicates displayed eg: 10 John Pete will also have next to it 10 Pete John.

I'm currently working on sorting a column of data from a PDF file into separate columns to later compare to another sheet. I'm having a few problems getting the data into a workable format, and also don't know how to compare to the other file.
Ultimately, I want the data in columns that look like this:
Name, City, State, Zip, $123.00, mm/dd/yy
Currently it looks like this:
A
1 Name
2 City State Zip
3 $123.00 mm/dd/yy
The sheets I'm working with are thousands of rows long, with these three rows of data repeating for every person. I have two problems with them, however:
1. I ultimately need each of those pieces of information into a seperate cell, in separate columns. I've been transposing the data then doing "Text to Columns" to get it from three separate rows in Column A to one row in Columns A, B, C etc.
The problem with this is the names aren't always uniform. Sometimes there's Mr. or Mrs. in front of them, sometimes they have a middle initial, or an "esq." behind them, which completely messes up the "Text to Columns." Is there a better way to break them up into separate cells?
2. Secondly, not all of the names are individuals- some are businesses or charities. I want to remove all of these (and the two lines of data that go with each of them), so I only have individual people. Do you have any idea of how to make excel know the difference between, for example, "Mr. John Smith" and "Smith and Sons Realty"?
3. Lastly Once I have all of this data spread out into the different columns
(Last Name, First Name, City, State, Zip, Date, Amount), I need to compare it to another list. Basically, I've got one list of data configured in a similar way, and I want to identify any repeats between the two lists. I know that excel has a way to delete repeats, but what I need is a way to delete everything BUT repeats.

I have an Excel spreadsheet with two lists of data, the first is a list of groups and the second is a list of sub-groups, each group containing a number of sub-groups, each sub-group being unique and belonging to only one group.
Elsewhere on the sheet, I have used Data Validation (using 'list') in 2 columns to provide a drop-down selection in cells which the user must complete. The first column refers to the first list (groups), the second column refers to the second list (sub-groups).
However I would like to make the values which appear in the second drop-down list dependent on the value which has been selected in the first. That is: make the user choose a group in the first column and then make the choice of available sub-groups in column 2 restricted to those sub-groups which belong to the selected group.

I am trying to filter a list where I can enter a value in a criteria box and it will filter the list just with those entries that meet the criteria entered in the box.
E.G If I have a list containing the name Jones 3 times, and Brown 7 times, I want to type the word Jones in a criteria box and it will sort the list to only show the 3 Jones entries

I use drop down lists to speed up data entry. all my lists are on sheet 1 but my actual fields for selection are on sheet 2. I am trying to see if i can make the date fields columns drop down calenders. Sheet 2 is for a special import and i cannot add extra columns that are not a part of my import.. Is there a way to add drop down calenders or dates to sheet 2 without adding extra columns?

I have a question regarding linking the content for data validation lists stored in a different workbook.
The scenario is as follows: I will have say 50 users using a template which contains various dependent drop-down lists. These lists work by using the INDIRECT function which calls the correct drop-down based on the previous selection. The drop-down entries are currently stored in named ranges on a hidden worksheet in each user's file.
However, if I need to make a change to the content of these lists, I will have to open all 50 files individually and change each one. So I'd like to have a master file to which all the templates would be linked which would contain the entries for each drop-down. So when I update a list in the Master file, it would automatically update the drop-down lists in each user's template with any additions deletions.
My question is, how do I create the links between the user templates and the master and have it so that the list ranges will be dynamic. So if a drop-down list contains say 10 entries and I add 2 more in the master, that those 12 now appear in each user's template?

I have a question regarding the data validation lists. What i have is 4 different lists
Department
Assays
Instrument
Manufacturer
What I want to do is...once a user chooses a department, he gets a list of assays done in the chosen dept. and also a list of instrument used by the dept and a list of manufacturers
I used the examples shown here
http://www.contextures.com/xlDataVal13.html
http://www.contextures.com/xlDataVal02.html
and was able to succeed in creating dependent lists to some extent...I am attaching whatever I have able to accomplish so far, which is able to pull up the assay list based on the dept. ...but am confused as to how to get the Instrument and Manufacturer list at the same time .....please choose 'Chem 2" from the dept list to see what I have managed to do so far

I am creating a spreadsheet i want it to be that i make a selection from a drop down and this will then narrow the options available in the next drop down. Say box one you select 'half day' and then the next drop down menu will automatically loose all the data for a 'full day' and only show half day information such as costs for food and room bookings ect. i have made the drop downs but im not sure what to do next.
