Checking For Similar Values In A Row

May 4, 2009

I'm trying to create a formula that would check if there are similar values in a row. How should I do this? There are 20 values in a row, and they should all be different (true). If similar values are found, it should give a warning or highlight the two or more cells.

Using Vlookup Or Similar Function To Find Missing Values Compared To Base Values

Apr 30, 2014

I am trying to find some missing values compared to 6 base values. For instance, I have a sheet with some names translated to another language, I am trying to find the languages some names have not been translated too.

For example, if I have six languages, Arabic, Japanese, Russian, Chinese-Simplified, Chinese- Traditional, and Korean to compare too, I want to find any names that are not translated in certain languages.

Sample:

John Japanese
John Chinese - Simplified
John Korean
Martin Arabic
Martin Chinese - Simplified
Martin Russian
Ramon Arabic
Ramon Russian
Sam Arabic
Sam Chinese- Traditional

SUM Values Of A Range Using VLOOKUP Or Similar

Oct 9, 2012

I would like to sum the values of a range using something similar to vlookup. The problem with using vlookup is that vlookup returns only the first instance. I have multiple values therefore vlookup would not work. I have 2 variables which is causing my frustration. I have added an example to explain. On the column where it says "correct answer" is where the formula should go. I displayed what the formula should produce so that it explains what I want as the output. The "static column" which contains variables 1 and 2 doesn't change.

The two variables it needs to search for is shown in the variable 1 and variable 2 columns. And the lookup range is on the left.

So basically it needs to match the two variables in the range and then grab the sum of ALL quantities where the two variables match . quantity amount is found on the leftmost column.

Is this possible. sumif works but only with 1 variable.

LOOKUP RANGE

formula column
static column
static column

formula column
static column
static column

quantity
variable 1
variable 2

correct answer
variable 1
variable 2

Lookup Multiple Similar Values

Feb 16, 2008

I've search several posts and can't figure this out. Have sheet1 with facility number (A) and Description (B), monthly budgets (C-N) and yearly total at O. Each facility has 400+ GL so the only formula that has come close to working is this one: =INDEX('sheet1'!$O$1:$O$7695,MATCH(1,('sheet1'!$A$1:$A$7695=$D8)*('sheet1'!$B$1:$B$7695=G$5),0))

Basically "O" is the yearly number I want, "A" is the facility number and "B" is the Description (which is text). After searching several posts this one returned a result on the first facility, but returned NA on the rest. Also tried CONCENATE function with A&B in sheet1 which are equal to D10&G5 in sheet2. It returned the wrong information, I was looking for "1506Net Sales" and it returned for "1506Net Income".

Checking For Values

Mar 2, 2007

I am just having trouble getting vba to recognize cell values. All I want it to do is if cell g2 = 5, then end sub, Else, continue. But I am so clueless that I cant even get it to recognize that what is in cell g2 is the number 5. I would think that I could just put,

If range(g & 2) = 5 Then
End Sub
Else
Resume
End If

Checking Cell Values

Oct 9, 2008

I have a spreadsheet with 2 columns of values. I need to check that the two columns have the same values, however the last digit of the values will differ every time, in the first column the value will always be a 3 and in the 2nd column it will always be a 0. Unfortunately the amount of digits before the last, differs from 6 to 9 so its not as easy to do a trim. Example

Column 1 Column 2
11111113 11111110
222222223 222222220
4444444443 4444444440

I need to check that the first digits (no mater how many) are all the same except the last digit.

Checking The Values Of The Autofilter

Jun 13, 2007

I am using the autofilter in my code.

Selection.AutoFilter field:=11, Criteria1:="reena"

Count = Sheets("ABC").AutoFilter.Range.Columns(1).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Count - 1

In the field for of the worksheet 'ABC' there are some values. I want to sort the value 'reena' and save the count in the variable Count. But sometimes the value 'reena' is not available in the field 11. Then it gives error for the above Count variable.

How to check this? How to check that the autofilter value is 'null'.

Sorting Values: Find Points With Similar "y" Values

May 5, 2008

I have x coordinates in column 1 with coresponding y coordinates in column 2. From my data of x,y coordinates I want to find points with similar y values. In my data I have defined groups of numbers, i.e. I have a set of numbers with y values around 30 (+-10), then a new group with y values around 60 (+-10), and so on... Sometimes the groups are not totaly separeted, there could be a few points with y values between 30 and 60. These points can be grouped with the closest group of coordinates (30 or 60). Each group of x,y coordinates could be copypasted in the columns to the right (columns 3 and up).

So what I want to do is find a group of coordinates. This group will have at least 40 individual points +-10 from a group mean. The coordinates need to be sorted out from the data and put in seperate columns.

Formula For Checking Multiple Values?

Mar 17, 2014

The project I'm working on is for checking the measured Valve clearances on 4 cylinder motorbikes

They have 16 valves in all and I had made a spread sheet which has cells to enter the Min and Max Valve clearances for 8 exhaust and 8 Inlet valves they have different tolerances.

I have been able to do this part so I am at the point where once the valve gap min and max are entered for the exhaust and inlet valves on Cylinder 1 this changes all the min max gaps for all the other inlet and exhaust valves.

And once I have measured the gaps and entered the actual valve gap the sheet then tells me if the measured value is in or outside the valve clearance tolerance. And this is all working very well!

To save money on buying new shims which is what is used to adjust the valve clearance I swap as many shims that are out of spec on the inlet side to the Exhaust side and vice verse that will bring the valve back into spec.

Once a shim is found out of spec it must be removed, it's measured and that measurement is entered into the sheet and the sheet then tells me what size shim to replace it with to bring the valve gap back to as close to the centre of the tolerance as possible.

What I won't the sheet to do that I can't work out how is once all the out of spec shims have been entered I want it to check and tell me which shims can be moved to which valves to bring them back in spec! All valves are numbered from 1 to 16 and cylinder number exhaust and inlet valves.

Checking If Values In One Spreadsheet Exist In Another

Feb 4, 2007

I have a 'master' spreadsheet containing over a thousand filenames. I have been given another spreadsheet with just a couple of hundred filenames on it and have been asked to find out if the filenames on this 'small' spreadsheet appear on the larger/master one.

Is there any way (by formula or by macro code) that I can do this easily? What would be great is some way of Excel colouring in the filenames on the 'small' spreadsheet that also exist on the master one.

Macro To Set Current Time In A Cell Without Changing Similar Values In Other Cells

Mar 4, 2012

I have a Macro 'Timenow' to give current time in a Cell of MS Excel, but then it changes all Cell values of sheet where the macro was used.

Sub Timenow()
'
' Timenow Macro
' Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+b
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=NOW()"
Selection.NumberFormat = "h:mm"
Range("F5").Select
End Sub

Even assigning value to variable does not work:

Sub Timenow()
' Timenow Macro
' Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+b
Dim TN As String
TN = Format("=now()", "h:mm")
ActiveCell.Value = TN
End Sub

how to restrict the macro to change the value of current/active cell only without effecting other cell values?

I'm trying to validate the data entered into a series of cells each cell can contain a different set of data but the value N/A is also permitted. For example:

Cell A1 could contain a date from 2013-01-01 thru 2013-12-01 but the value N/A is also valid
Cell A2 could contain a decimal from 0.01 thru 302502.23 but the value N/A is also valid
Cell A3 could contain an integer from 3 thru to 9000 but the value N/A is also valid

When the acceptable values are entered then I want to be able to carry on otherwise I want to pop up with an error.

Excel 2012 :: Checking To See What Values Are Missing From One List

Jul 15, 2014

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.)

Formula- To Pull Cell Values Similar To A SUMIF Function (SUMIF(range,criteria,sum_range))

Oct 25, 2007

I am trying to pull cell values similar to a SUMIF function (SUMIF(range,criteria,sum_range)). For example, in A1 I use a data list created from data elsewhere on the spreadsheet. In the data I created elsewhere, there are 2 columns being used. The 1st column is the information that is being used to create the list and the second column contains specific values (number or text). In the dropdown menu I select an available value (text or number) . When I have selected that value I would like cell A2 to show what the cell directly to the right of it shows from the data I have elsewhere in the spreadsheet as mentioned. I have tried the SUMIF function however it seems to exclude certain values (number or text) and I am not sure what else to use.

Error Checking Routine - Check Range Values On Various Worksheets And Report If Error

May 29, 2014

Error Check Marco.xlsm

see attached example. I am trying to write an error detection routine that iterates through worksheets that have numeric values for names (ignore text names or alphanumeric). Macro checks range on each numeric worksheet E3:E33 and is supposed to report back on the SummarySheet if any value other than 1 or 0 is found in range E3:E33 on any numeric-name worksheet. Code as follows:

[Code] ....

Problem is that it just reports EVERY worksheet as having an error when clearly most don't (none do I think in the attached example).

Try changing some of ranges E3:E33 to values other than 1 or 0, it still reports all sheets. Why the macro does not evaluate the range E3:E33 properly and just reports every worksheet as having an error?

Sumif With Condition Similar?

Oct 22, 2013

When you filter a spreadsheet, you can find results that are similar to a condition. I have families of products that share a common 3 digits, but the rest of the model number is different. The 3 similar digits could be the first 3 digits, or it could be 3 digits starting with the 2nd digit. This spreadsheet has each complete model number on its own row. In that row is a number that represents a volume. I want to be able to sum the volume column if the model number contains the 3 digits.Model Number
Volume

A hat
5

B hat
1

A glove
4

hat
8

In the above example, the total for "hat" = 5 + 1 + 8 = 14

I would type in a condition (family name) into another cell (D1) and the formula in D2.

I made a code which I posted below, I don't have any error message but it doesn't work as it should. I explain you with an example: If in the data grid I have the following values

11.8
67.0
25.5
18.1
13.0

if the value I look for is 12 +/-3, it doesn't find anything.
if the value I look for is 11 +/-3, it finds 11.8 but not 13,
if the value I look for is 20 +/-3, it finds 18.1,
if the value I look for is 23 +/-3, it finds 25.5,

Here is my code:

Sheet1.Cells(1, 3).Select
Dim Amin As String, Amax As String ', Bmin As String, Bmax As String
Amin = Sheet1.Cells(3, 2).Value - 3
