Combining Column Data When There Are Duplicate Row Headers?
Apr 10, 2014
I currently have a worksheet filled with data from other worksheets. I want to combine data from different columns when they share an identical row header and don't know how. For example:
1b--
1--c
1-d-
2-x-
2y--
2--z
Would go to:
1bdc
2yxz
Another specific issue is that some row headers are bold and need to be considered a separate header from the non-bold alternative.

Is there a function in Excel that allows you to combine non-numeric columns as a list?
For example, 91401 is a zip shared by three cities: Van Nuys, Sherman Oaks and Valley Glen.
The data is in a workbook as three rows (each with 91401 as the first column, and cities listed individually:
91401 Van Nuys
91401 Sherman Oaks
91401 Valley Glen
I am eventually wanting to do a v-lookup with the zip, but the duplication is causing problems. I want the associated cities listed, but only want one row. The cities could be listed, separated by commas (preferably), like below:
91401 Van Nuys, Sherman Oaks, Valley Glen
The list of zips I have is several thousand long, so it's not practical for me to do it manually. Is there a "pivot table" of text that I could use?

I need to combine rows with that have the same column A value into one row. The duplication will be no more than 3 (ie 3 As, 2 Bs, 3 Cs, 1 D etc). I am looking for one of two options. 1) Ideally I'd like to be able to take 2 columns and turn them into up to 4 columns total. 2)Alternately, I can format the data to be in the correct columns to start, but will still need to merge the duplicate rows. The data can have any number of rows to start.
I've found something close, but it puts the new column data into ascending number order, which won't work for me because I need it to be in the specific order I input.(It also put all the data into one column, which I don't mind because I can do text to columns, but the order was the bugger.)

In my sheet I have it search for duplicate records and give those records the same id. Is there anyway to combine data into one record. For example, I have a person with a value in column Points1, on another row a value in column Points2, and another row a value in column Points3. I want take those values from the duplicate records and put them all in one record. I've attached a sample.

I have a long (about 180 000 rows) list of part numbers, descriptions, prices and quantities. There are many duplicate part numbers. I need to go through and find the duplicates, add all their quantities into one cell and delete the remaining duplicates. I have used conditional formatting to find the duplicates easier but cannot use the remove duplicates button as it will delete the whole row and I need the quantity information in each row.
Any formula or macro I can set up to search the part number column (F) for duplicates and add the figures in the quantity column (J) and THEN delete the duplicate part number rows?
Maybe I need to put the new combined information in another sheet?

I have data in excel that has some information the same with a unique field. See below:
Last Name
First Name
ID
Date
Address
Apt #
Acct #
Code 1
[code]...
I want it to consolidate all of the like information but add on the codes in separate columns like this:
Last Name
First Name
ID
Date
Address
Apt #
Acct #
Code 1
Code 2
Code 3
Code 4
[code]...
Also, sometimes the same code is used multiple times but i want any duplicate codes to show as separate codes.

I am in need of restructuring a spreadsheet of addresses for mailing purposes. (I tried to find something similar answered previously, but nothing seemed to work for me.)
I have attached a small example spreadsheet below, but our spreadsheets can be hundreds or thousands of rows in length.
I need a macro that will look for the "PO Box" addresses under the column headers named "ADDRESS2" and "ADDRESS3".
The PO Box addresses will need to be moved under the column header "ADDRESS1" within the same row.
It will need to overwrite the text that is already under "ADDRESS1" and delete the text from the "ADDRESS2" and "ADDRESS3" columns - UNLESS the text in 'ADDRESS2" is a PO Box AND "ADDRESS1" begins with "c/o".
If the data in "ADDRESS2" or "ADDRESS3" is anything other than a PO Box it will remain the same. As will "ADDRESS 1".
Basically if there is a PO Box it needs to be in the column named "ADDRESS1" and overwrite anything else that was there. The exception will be for PO Boxes that are in c/o someone else, the PO Box will then need to be listed in the column directly after the column that has c/o.
If the c/o exception will be too difficult the code could just highlight those scenarios and we could fix them manually. We usually do not have a lot of them, but enough that we need to be mindful of them.
The different scenarios are listed in my sample spreadsheet.Also, the code will have to use the column header names in row 1 because those headers are not always in the same column.

I have a sheet with over 1000 rows showing me every employee's benefit choices. It has multiple rows for each employee - one that indicates their health option, one that indicates their dental option and so on.
I'd like to combine them so I have one row that has columns for health, dental, etc...and then their options would be listed all in the same row. I've attached the original with the solution I'd like pasted below. I'm sure this isn't difficult but I'm having trouble figuring it out.

what i want to do is 1 have a workbook with 3 worksheets. Sheet1 contains the columns:
Reference No. Line Item No. Amount Date
1 3 500 12/01
2 4 900 01/01
Sheet2:
Reference No. Line Item No. Quantity PersonInCharge
1 3 10 Kim
5 6 60 Noel
For sheet 3, what i want to happen is that when i run the VBA macro, it searches through both worksheets (Sheet1 and Sheet2), finding rows that have matching Reference No. AND Line Item No. and combine all of the columns (and values) for that particular row into another row in Sheet 3. So for the above data set, the resulting data in Sheet 3 would be:
Reference No. Line Item No. Amount Date Quanity PersonInCharge
1 3 500 12/01 10 Kim
As this is the only entry in both sheet1 and sheet2 where there is a matching reference and line item no.

I have a large table that I want to reconstruct. For simplicity sake, let's just says it's 3 rows (excluding headers) by 3 columns.
Item Description
1/1/2014
1/2/2014
1/3/2014
Cheese Burgers
2
3
4
Hot Dogs
5
12
6
Beverages
2
5
3
I want to reconstruct it so that the column headers become values in the table. The table headers are dates, in this case, if that gives clearer picture. So the new table would have 9 rows, (3 rows of data, excluding the header times four columns).
Item Description
Date
Quantity
Cheese Burgers
1/1/2014
2
Hot Dogs
1/1/2014
5
[Code] ....
The above example is sorted by date but I would be indifferent if it's sorted by the Item Description.
Is there an easy way to do this? Pivot possibly? Again, my data table is large: 36 rows x 181 columns. Using the copy/paste/transpose feature is pretty impractical.

IIn my example I have result data from the 2013 USPGA Tour, ordered by player (column A) with subsequent columns detailing their finishing position in each event.
I simply want to condense each player's performance data into one row - as doing it by hand after each event is very time-consuming.
Is there a way of using a simple formula, macro or pivot table (or whatever) to merge each player into one row, but keep each column in the same position (ie to correspond to each weekly event).

Bit of a tricky one this, I have two spreadsheets both with data I need to merge the two and only keep data which is present in both sheets. Each row has a unique identifier. I have copied the sheets into one spready and sorted the data, I thought there might be some kind of edit go to function but cannot find it.

on a vb user form list, made from the control toolbox
I enable collumn headers but have trouble populating them
From what i could get from google, it seems the only way to populate them is by having the data on an excel sheet. Can you just do it through code?
I have another list which the data is on an excel sheet but I can't get my headers working.
I have been using
frmAct.listCodes.RowSource = ("A1:C39")
frmAct.listCodes.RowSourceType = ("Value")
It doesnt like "Value"

I have been given a spreadsheet with standard configuration with column headers etc, but when you scroll down the sheet the actual column headers change from the normal A-Z display to be the column headers that have been entered into the cells.
I know this can be achieved similarly by setting Freeze Pane but how this other option has been switched on. I have attached the spreadsheet (which has totally fictitious content).

Using columns, (A,B,C & D)Column "A" is used for main grouping (defined as "zone") which I've used conditional formatting to define that there's duplicates. However the subsequent columns B&C are to and from devices. There may be instances of inverse duplicates. How can I either use "If then" formulas or LOOKUP function to note these occurrences? Column "D" is merely the flag column to display the instances of occurrence.

I have a large compilation of data on an excel work sheet (I am using 2013). All cells relate to each other by means of dates, names, and other numeric values such as stock numbers, id numbers etc... In one column some stock numbers are repeated. I would like to know if there is a way to set up the program on this worksheet to highlight all repeating stock numbers, not only in the column but across the cells as well, in lieu of doing so manually.

I've got this macro which works well, but I have to edit it to change the column I want to check for dupes. I don't mind doing that, but now I have to share the macro with someone who is not comfortable changing the references in the code every time they run it.
As it is it checks column G:G (7) for dupes and deletes the row. Good.
I'd like for it to do the same thing, but for whatever column the active cell is in.
I can use this:
Col = ActiveCell.Column
in place of the "7" in the With Range part
but I don't know how to replace the "G1:G".
Sub DeleteDuplicatesColumnG()
With Application
.ScreenUpdating = False
.EnableEvents = False

My and a work college needed to combine our separate excel worksheets into a single document.
Office 2013 didn't have a function to "import sheet from file" so we used open office to import my .xlsx worksheets.
After we finished importing we exported the final workbook as .xls (so I could open it).
After opening the workbook on my pc (excel 2013) i notice some of the sheets no longer have column headers, but the row headings still exists. (No ABCD, only 1234)
Also I am unable to use features such as "Freeze Pane"
I suspect this was caused by importing and exporting through open office?
