Checking Contents In Small List Against Big List?
Dec 2, 2011
I have a column, lets call it A, with a small list of airports. There will never be more than 7 airports in this list. There may be as few as one airport.
Now, I have column B which has ~100 airports listed.
All involved airports will be listed by their 4-letter code, i.e. PANC, PADG, PABE, and so on.
What I want to do is, if any airport in Col A is also in the list in Col B, to have that airport populate into a cell, like C1. Now, if two airports in A are also in B, then those airports should populate into C1 and C2, and so on for 3 or more airports.
I could probably do this by nesting 7 IF formulas to check each line one by one but, there's got to be a more elegant solution that can handle this?
If VBA is needed, that's fine too as this project already has macros in it.

I have sales data in columns, the right most column has values in it.
If I filter the data using the standard Filter, I can add only filtered records by using SUBTOTAL(9, filtered_list) and this gives me the answer.
How can I find the 2nd largest or second smallest ONLY from the filtered data without using a Pivot table?

I need to complete my business price list. Basically it's an XL sheet with all my suppliers products listed, there price, my margins, and my retail price and bulk price. Currently I'm fiddling with my margins and the best way to implement a formula to reflect these margins. Rather than do it manually, is there anyway I can create a forumla for different gross margins to be set for a certain range of the suppliers goods. For example, any product I buy thats costs me between $0-$20 has a set margin of 1.44 (44%), or a product who's price ranges from $100-$200 has a set margin of 1.26 (26%) etc. This would cut out then need for me to manually check suppliers prices and change to margin accordingly, thus saving me much time.

I'm trying to make a excel template that will take a list of names, changes but generally around 100, and randomly separate them into 4 sets of 8 groups evenly.
This grouping would be repeated 4 times, but there are some conditions.
Firstly, the same person cannot be put into a group again with someone they have previously been grouped with.
Secondly, someone appearing in the first or last groups cannot appear in that group again.
I've been trying to do it via some complex cell formulas but they are quickly becoming overly complex and im not sure if it will actually work which has completely demotivated me. Ive not been looking at VBA but am now thinking its the right route. Ive been thinking of having a master list and then have an attribute of who people have been grouped with before during each of the groupings, and also what number group they were in and then checking against that or something, but im not sure if that is the most efficient solution.
I attached an example dataset : demo dataset.xlsx

I'm trying to make a game where from a choice of 16 words the contestant has to choose four of those words that, when another word is placed before or after each word it makes a phrase.
e.g From this list of 16 words
albert
bell
[Code]....
choosing bell, bottle, print, stocking can all have BLUE placed before them to make bluebottle, blueprint etc. That would be the correct answer. Choosing their four words would be from a drop down list of all 16 words, separate cell for each list options/chosen answer. bell bottle printstockingCORRECT
There would be 4 rows in total for 4 different answers to be made from the 16 words on offer. I have tried everything to get it to work in the 5th cell but it's difficult.

If seen a couple of examples but for whatever reason it doesn't work on my sheet. (Excel 2010 32 bit) I don't understand how to highlight the entire column to see this particular value is not in this list. I have two lists, I want to see what data am I missing In list 2 that I have in list one. Basically all I am trying to do is see what values are not in the second list but are in the first list so I can later add them to the second list. (Also the 2nd list is longer than the first if that makes a difference.)

SOLVED
Attached is my example.
I want to have the data in a Named List display automatically in a certain column, and the data be dependent on the choice in a cell with a List Validation.
Choose "option 1" in the Cell's drop-down, and in the specified area appears all of the data in the "option 1" referenced List.

I need to get the contents of a drop down list to a certain cell. I have figured out that if i highlite the drop down list and put "=A1" in the formula bar that it kinda works. But instead of putting the words in the cell, it puts how many rows down in the drop down box the item selected is.

I am trying to create a drop down list for a table of contents that can link off to other pages within the same work book since it is very large and difficult to navigate through. I can create dropdowns were the lists it draws from is hyperlinks and that doesn't do anything special. It is just like drawing a regular list. I want the drop down when I click on something, to link me over to the other sheet.

Can the information in say cell b:1 be based on the information in A:1? Example: If A:1 has the name Fred Smith then I want cell B:1 to say Nurse. Column A will have a drop down list of names and column B will have a list of Nurse, EMT or Paramedic. When someone pick a name from the list the information in column B will automatically be filled in based on the information in column A.

I would like to be able to display all of the sheets in a workbook as a list on the front sheet.
I have a front "Contents" Sheet (attached at the bottom of my post)
In the "Ticket No." column I wanted to have the sheet name, in the "Date" and "Description" column I wanted to display cell values from each sheet; which would be the date and description of that sheet/"Ticket". The "Resolved?" column I will be able to do after I have this part figured out.
The workbook is also attached :

how to code the following?
I need to remove an item from a list, find its match in column "A", remove the matching cell and then shift the remainder of the column up to remove the empty cell.
If this helps, there are 5 different sheet names, and I'm working with range A4:Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row for the items in the list.
To make it as simple as I can:
COLUMN A
one
two
three
four
user clicked on two in the list, so column A now looks like, with no gap between one and three:
COLUMN A
one
three
four
One sheet actually needs it to do the same removal to identical rows in column B as well (i.e. remove A10 and B10, or A45 and B45, etc.)

I was wondering if there is a way to list all filenames from a directory on a worksheet including the files located within it's subfolders? I found a bit of code at [URL] that is as follows, but I can't seem to get it to read the files in the subfolders... Also, would it at all be possible to hotlink each entry so that the user can double-click the name in the sheet and open the file?
VB:
Sub ListAllFile() Dim objFSO As Object Dim objFolder As Object Dim objFile As Object Dim ws As Worksheet Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set ws = Worksheets.Add 'Get the folder object associated with the directory Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder("C:") ws.Cells(1, 1).Value = "The files found in " & objFolder.Name & "are:" 'Loop through the Files collection For Each objFile In objFolder.Files ws.Cells(ws.UsedRange.Rows.Count + 1, 1).Value = objFile.Name Next 'Clean up! Set objFolder = Nothing Set objFile = Nothing Set objFSO = Nothing End Sub

I have a spreadsheet that lists dates in row 6, columns V through BE. We use these dates to log attendance for kids, so under each date there may be one of many symbols, such as "x" if the student was there. I would like to create a list of the dates that meet one of two criteria: either blank or containing "WR". So, let's say column Z is blank and Y has "WR" in it. In column FB I would like a list of all of the dates that were blank or WR, so I would want the dates contained in row 6 for Y and Z. Is there a function that will 1) look for a blank or WR across a row, 2) find the associated date for that blank in row 6, and 3) write the in another column in the form of a list, each date separated by commas? Here is an example of my information. I would like for a function to automatically make the list in column FB for any dates that are blank or contain "WR".
V
W
X
Y
Z
AA
AB
AC
...
FB
[code]....
List of Dates Absent
x
x
x
WR
x

1/23, 1/24

I have a master sheet that has 3500ish names on it, and another sheet that I'll need to drop in a list of about 1000 names. What I need on the master is a way to check the dropped in data, find duplicated names, and flag them up.
Now, I believe what I did last time was have a true/false method of telling me if they're on both sheets, then use an IF formula to instead make Trues into "yes" and Falses into "no". However, I can't for the life of me figure out how I had it previously checking both sheets and confirming/denying if they're on both sheets or only appear once.

Sheet2 contains various data, including one column of dates.
What I would like to do is populate Sheet1 with functions that search Sheet2 for date values between two separate date values on Sheet1 (cells F1 and G1). When a match is found on Sheet2, row contents from Sheet2 should populate on Sheet1.
In addition, I would like the functions only to match listings in which the value in column E on Sheet2 is greater than zero.
I have attached a sample workbook that illustrates the structure of the worksheets and the desired results. Looking forward to finding a good solution.

If this has been requested already, I apologize, please direct me to the right thread and flog me with USB cable. I've been searching the forum for an answer for a couple of hours now for the answer to this:

I am just learning to use VBA and this may be the most simple task ever, but I can't figure it out. I've searched for all of the keywords I can think of, but can't find a solution...
I have a list of names in a sheet. Other columns in this sheet contain data like amount charged, amount paid, etc. This sheet must be manually updated (because the other program won't export the information I need) periodically to ensure proper billing/payment application in the original software (all transactions are handled by other people that I don't trust).
I sort the list so that the all names that are the same (ie John Doe) are together.
A short example list looks like this:
Jeremy Apple
John Doe
John Doe
John Doe
Jimmy Kravitz
Jimmy Kravitz
In updating my sheet, I set up a macro that will input todays date in one of the columns for all occurences of that name (so, every row that contains John Doe in column B, column V will have todays date in it).
Currently, in order for my macro to work properly, I have to manually make the activecell the first occurrence of 'John Doe'. When I'm ready to update 'Jimmy Kravitz', I have to select the first occurrence of 'Jimmy Kravitz' and so on.
Here's my question - Is there a way to use a VBA macro to find the first occurrence of 'John Doe' (and automatically 'know' which name I am updating)? Basically, I need a macro that will take the information that is in the cell in column B in the active row, find the first row that has that same name, and make that cell (column B) the active cell...

I have my dummy data, and I have (what I think) is how I want the data to be shown. My friend uses Google Sheets, but I prefer Excel. I am trying to convert the code because I am a stickler for excel. Typically I can convert codes some easily, but this is way beyond me.
For Column A: I want to create a list on sheet 'Setup!' based on ids!D2:D="yes". If that list has duplicate entries, I would like only the first entry to show up, but for the next entries I would like the cell to be blank. (this is important for the next step) For Column C: I want to have the corresponding dates go with the name entry. For Column D: I want to have the notes go with the corresponding date entry. (I believe I can manipulate Column C's code to do Column D myself).
I am also going to upload a data sheet, and an expected results sheet.

I have pulled a SharePoint list into my workbook. The list object (table) is still linked to the SharePoint list, as I'd like to synchronize it later on. I have filtered it with an autofilter. I'd like to delete all of the visible rows. I have tried a billion things to no avail. I have been searching Google for hours now. None of the examples work.

I'm using Excel 2010 on a Windows 7 machine.
I have one sheet with a large list of dates and total prices.
I have a second sheet with a list of dates and unit prices.
I want to divide the total price in my first list by the unit price on my second list.
I want to somehow point Excel to the date in the first list, and then lookup the corresponding date in the second list to use the correct unit price.
My thoughts thus far have been along using VLOOKUP with WEEKNUM and YEAR but I've been unsuccessful.

I'm trying to use data validation to restrict the user to only selecting values in a list which I create. Right now, the list is a named range. I'd like to get rid of the range and just use a named list. I create a name using the following as my list.
Insert > Name > Create
Name: Fruit
Refers to:
banana,apple,orange
When I try to use the name Fruit in my data validation, I get the message "The List Source must be a delimited list, or a reference to single row or column." I thought my name "fruit" was a delimited list.

It is a product list of office stationary with codes, descriptions and quantities. Using this spreadsheet we input into the quantity how many we want of the item, all well and simple you could call the list a stationary order form.
What I would like to be able to do with this Giant list is to have a function that would extract items off the list into a cleaner consolidated form. As in, if I wanted to order some of item A, C and F, I would like for the second table to just Show ACF without every letter in between or blank cells.
I know a simple method would be to have an IF formula to return the information to a new sheet that I could simply remove blank cell rows (unordered items) and ready for print each time. But I would love to know if there is a better way this could be achieved.
I have basic/intermediate knowledge of excel and can setup the data if need be in order for the function to work, but I can't seem to find the correct function for this project.

I need to consolidate these two lists of data into one list.
First set is just a basic list of individuals with their data.
Second set is multiple entries for those same individuals. Each entry shows a subscription to a programme. The final single sheet should have one row per individual which shows all of the programmes they are subscribed to.
See attached, example sheet.
The real list is 3000 IDs, so need some kind of formula to do this.

I have a large amount of data, 40,000+ rows about how students do in remedial classes including from whom they took the classes. I have pulled from it a subset of student success as relates to the separate instructors. Now I would like to extract a consolidated list of those instructors for whom the student gain on criterion based pre and post course assessments is above a specific level. I have no trouble writing if statements that will look at two types of data, the course taken and the average student increase to determine which instructors meet or surpass the criterion, but I can only do that within a list that includes all the instructors. Because there are more than an hundred such instructors, it would be easier for the dean if I could provide a short list of those that meet specific criteria. I believe that it would be an array that I should use, but I have been fooling around with this for 2 days now, and am finding myself at a series of deadends!
