Adding Name To A List - Alphabetically

Feb 27, 2008

I have a spreadsheet with names in column A. These names are sorted alphabetically. I want to add a new name automatically and it shoudl appear at the right position, alphabetically. I wrote the below code, based on the ASCII number of the beginning letter of the name. This does indeed identify approximately where to place the new name. But it's far from easy and I doubt it's efficient.

This is the code I produced thus far....the short version...

Option Explicit

Sub mytest()
Dim firstletter As String
Dim secondletter As String
Dim thirdletter As String
Dim firstletter2 As String
Dim secondletter2 As String
Dim thirdletter2 As String
Dim lowestmatch As Long
Dim secondmatch As Long
Dim firstdifference As Long
Dim seconddifference As Long
Dim thirddifference As Long
Dim myrow As Long
Dim lastrow
Dim cell
Dim empname As String

Adding Duplicate Values - Data Sorted Alphabetically

May 24, 2013

I am using the formula below to find the # of hours that staff worked.

=SUMPRODUCT(('Data 1'!$B$2:$B$601=B7)*(LEFT('Data 1'!$A$2:$A$601,2)=LEFT(C7,2))*'Data 1'!$D$2:$D$601)

B7 = Last Name
Left(C7,2) = First 2 Letters of the First Name
$D$2:$D$601 = Hours Worked

My only problem is that some staff show up in the list on "Data 1" twice as they work in 2 separate stores and I am only getting the hours worked at the first store. Is there a way to have excel add the hours for both stores? My data is sorted alphabetically so they will be one above the other.

Sort Postcode List Alphabetically And Numerically

Aug 8, 2013

How can I sort the attached list both alphabetically and numerically. I have a list of UK postcode sectors which I am trying to sort alphabetically and numerically, the order should be eg AB1 0, AB10 1, G2 1, G20 1 but excel wont allow that sort order. There are three postcode formats

XX11 1
X1 1
X11 1

Where X an Y could be any letters in the alphabet and 1 could be any digit 0 to 9. Have attached a short list and formula in column B which would allow me to sort the list in column A which I can then apply to my full list.

Create Distinct List And Sort Alphabetically?

Jul 16, 2013

I am trying to create an alphabetised unique list for a report from an Excel master file and have searched the internet for solutions which all only seem to half work for me. I've copied a couple of array formulae below to try what I'm after and what the results are. 'RefSource' is the name I've given to the column of data I'm trying to sort.

{=INDEX(RefSource, MATCH(0, COUNTIF($A$2:A2, RefSource),0))}

This one works when I copy the formula down and gives me the unique list but doesn't sort the it into alphabetical order.

{=INDEX(RefSource, MATCH(MIN(IF(COUNTIF($P$1:P1, List)=0, 1, MAX((COUNTIF(RefSource, "

Sort Alphabetically List Of Chemical Names

Sep 17, 2008

I have a long list of chemical names that I need to sort alphabetically. A problem arises wherein many of the chemical names are preceded by numbers, as in 1,1,1-Trichloroethane. When Excel sorts the list, it of course groups all entries beginning with 1,1,1- together, then 1,1,2-, and so on, then alphabetically. How can I get Excel to ignore the preceding numbers, and sort only alphabetically?

Taking New Data From One List And Adding It To Another List Via VBA?

Feb 10, 2014

I have 2 sheets: "MasterInventory" and "InventoryFeed". "MasterInventory", is my full list of all the item I sell on Amazon.com. "InventoryFeed" is populated when I download an update from amazon and paste the data into it. Each list has about 30 columns and each list uses identical headings in the top row. The third column in each sheet is for the product's SKU.

What I'd like to do is loop through each row in the "inventoryFeed" sheet, assign it's sku (the value in column 3) to a variable, and then copy the entire Row. Then I'd like to switch to the "MasterInventory" sheet, and look in column C for the identical SKU. If it is found, I'd like to overwrite the entire line by pasting in the data that was copied earlier. If the SKU is not discovered, I'd like to paste the information into the next blank row in the "masterInventory" sheet.

After the whole thing is looped through, I'd like to sort the MasterInventory Sheet from A to Z by the product's SKU.

Sorting Multiple Columns Alphabetically

May 2, 2013

How do I sort multiple columns alphabetically with the last name first, then the first name as the 2nd sorting option?

Here is an example of what I have:

year; first; last
2011 chrisBell
2010 chrisBell
2009 chrisBell
2008 chrisBell

[Code] .......

As you can see, the first names aren't sorted 100% alphabetically. I think issue stems from the years 2001 n-2006 n. I have to use the 2001 n since its a different data than the normal 2001.

The default sorting was by year:
2012
2011
2010
2009

[Code] .......

So I want it to sort by last first, then first name. Then it should sort by the default sort I already had in the left column (years).

Adding Items To A List Box

Jun 1, 2009

I have the following code used to add items of expired IDs in a listBox,, it actually works well for adding the ID type, but it doesn't add the details of the expired ID completely .. It adds only the details of the last expired ID (I think the code overwrites the details)

I hope that my problem is clear for all,

Can you please find me a solution for that?

Using Array Formula To Sort Alphabetically Over Multiple Columns

Feb 14, 2014

In the attached example file, I have two tabs: options and sets. The options tab is to be populated from a form. The sets tab is to draw data from the options tab to create teaching sets. I have managed to create an array formula that does this for me, but what I would like it to do is sort my resulting list alphabetically. For reasons that I won't go into, I need the data on the sets tab to remain in three columns: First Name, Surname and Form.

This is the array formula I am using at the moment: AliGW - Example.xlsx

VBA For Inserting Input String Alphabetically Into Column Of Names?

I have a list of names in the A column of the sheet. I wish to use the input string, a new name, of a vba box to insert into the column of existing names in alphabetical order by inserting an entire row, which I suspect will be the case anyway. Also 'Return' key doesn't seem to be inserting a CR on the page that I typed this request upon.

Adding Blank In Data Validation List?

Mar 17, 2006

I have a spreadsheet with some cells setup with a drop-down list containing Y, N or N/A

This is being used on a TabletPC but if I make a mistake or need to change back to a blank field I have to invoke the soft keyboard, activate the cell and hit backspace then close the soft keyboard - quite a long-winded procedure just to change an incorrect choice!

What I would like to do is add a blank to the list so if I have to revert back to a blank I can just use the stylus to choose a blank from the chooser list.

How do I add the option of inputting a blank from the Data Validation List bearing in mind I am using the Data Validation Source box for entering my choices directly and not specifying a range of cells?

I have tried adding "" and even a space to no avail.

Excel 2007 :: Adding New Timesheet From A List

Mar 13, 2014

I am using the code below (Excel 2007) to delete and add back timesheets based on a list of names from the "Names" tab. In addition, I am making a "Table of Contents" with hyperlinks on a separate worksheet that will allow employees quick access to their timesheet without having to look at each tab. The code below works well if I want to delete and add back all the timesheet at one time but if we get a new employee in the middle of a pay period I have to use a single timesheet until the end of the pay period.

What I would like to know is, can the code below be modified so that when the code is run it reviews the list of names and only adds a new timesheet for that employee without deleting and adding back all the timesheets?
