Combining Multiple Rows With Duplicate Information
Nov 24, 2009
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.
I have an excel file that contains 93 tabs, all with the same type of information, and I need to take the information from each tab and combine it so that it has all the information from all 93 tabs in one.....without having to copy and paste each tab,
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.)
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'm busy cleaning information from an excel spreadsheet. Not all the columns are populated. e.g. Row 17 will only have an email address in column E whilst row 18 will have a name, surname, company and email address (same as in row 17).
Using the remove duplicate function, removes row 18 and thus leaves me with the row that only contains the email address.
What would it take for me to be able to remove the rows that do not have the additional columns populated?
I have a list of data elements listed row by row with headers

What I need to do is to get all 5 rows into one row and duplicate the headers so row 1 has all fire rows of information one column after the next comlumn. If I can't duplicate the headers easily and can just aggregate the data into one row in cell by cell that fine.
Each one consists of user data for each time they logged onto our systems. The problem is that there is one row for each login. There are anywhere from 1 to 20 (or so) rows per user. I need to turn that into a spreadsheet with one row for each user.
In theory, the problem shouldn't be that difficult. Each user has a unique user ID, and the only math that's required in the merge is a simple adding of numbers from three columns to give a single total for each user.
So far, the only workaround I've been able to come up with is using the subtotal function based on the unique user ID which will at least isolate each user and total up their usage statistics. But it still leaves me with the problem of deleting the now uneccessary extra rows by hand, and then pastin the data back into a new sheet. Using vlookup, I think.
I have a HUGE spreadsheet (1,000,000 rows) that contains a series of reports. The first row of the report contains all of the report identification numbers. The next 20-50 rows contains the report details, all in column A. Then the report ends with a cell in column A containing "[report_end]" and then on the next row the next report begins.
I would like to compress the report details all into a single cell in column A so that there is only one row for each report, sort of like this:
AA | BB | CC | DD xyz 123 [end_report] AA | BB | CC | DD xyz 123 [end_report]
becomes:
AA xyz 123 [end_report] | BB | CC | DD AA xyz 123 [end_report] | BB | CC | DD
[URL]...I was trying to use this thread's solution macro on my sheet that is only consolidating columns A, B, and C with a couple thousand lines and I've had it running for over an hour now. There hasn't been any errors but is there any particular reason that might be causing it to take longer than it should aside from having to go through a few thousand rows?
Basically, I only want 1 Version of data in Column B and any other rows that has a match in column B, i want to consolidate unique data from Columns A and C.
This isn't absolutely necessary, but being able to do this easily would cut down on a lot of tedious jobs for me. Let's say I have a set of data like this (I tried to space it out as best I could to give the idea):
A transportnumber can have multiple instances of itself, such as 106200. This transport number can also have multiple instances where the postcode is the same. These are the rows i want to combine
So shortly: Transportnumber double/triple...+ Postcode double/triple...= combine these rows.
if only transport number is double, or only postcode, then dont combine. I want it to combine 2 columns of values, one will b the kgs, other one a price.
So example of end result for 106200 would be 106200 8500 value+value (these 2 rows matched so it combined the 2 values i want it to) 106200 8600 value ( this was unique so it stays unique)
I have a workbook with two different tabs. On one tab, I have a spreadsheet that lists business names on first column, address # on second column, address street on third column.
On the second spreadsheet, I have address # on first column, address street on second column.
What I want to do is create a column before the first on the second spreadsheet, titled business names, and then have Excel find and match the address # and address names that are the same on the first and second workbook, and for those that are common, insert the business name into the new column on the second spreadsheet.
EX:
Spreadsheet 1 - Joe's Pizza | 67 | Smith Street
I want it to find 67 Smith Street, and insert Joe's Pizza in second spreadsheet.
I need help with a formula so that I can create a single chart or (more likely) multiple charts for each of the choices in column C.
Attached is a sample of my spreadsheet. I want to be able to break out each of the "Br#"(A) associated with the "BUM"(C) and graph each of the choices in column D (Run Time).
I am sure I can create the chart I need once I get the formula created to pull the data I am trying to combine. I hope that I have explained this well enough.
Here is the problem: i have two conditions to satisfy first is data from column A and second is data from column C, what i wanted to do is if both data from column A and B has the same other data in column A and C then sum the total in column D, F, I retain data for column B, E, G and H. Then delete the duplicate rows. By the way we also need to replace the remove the text (W1,W2,W3,W4 and W5) in column C.
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 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.
I am waaaaay in over my head here. I've not done any scripting/macro/vb/whatnot work in Excel, but I'm staring down a potential all-night project manually merging data.
I'm looking for a Conditional Formatting formula that will check two columns before highlighting the duplicate rows. I need it to be conditional formatting because I know nothing about writing macros or vba (what-ever that is?). Data is entered into Columns A, B, and C. I need to check both column A and C before it highlights the duplicates, based on those two columns. (The format only unique or duplicate values checks only one column.) I have attached an example, but this is just an example, as I have hundreds of lines to go through on the original. (For this example, Row 2 and Row 7 are the duplicates I need highlighted.)
I have a data set which has 6 columns (and lots of rows). Every row is different but I want to aggregate them based on 4 fields and then find the average of the numerical column for the results. I basically want to Group based on 4 fields and find the average of the 5th field.
My initial approach was to introduce a column which is a combination of the 4 fields I want to group by, simply in the Excel file (=A2&B2&C2&D2) and then find duplicates of that. I have a solution for this in VBA but when importing new data sets in this method is very slow, so I want to be able to do the whole thing in VBA.
I have some VB code, courtesy of OzGrid and Davc4, that works well to delete duplicate rows based on criteria in Column A of the active worksheet (albeit a bit slow on large files).
How do I modify the code below to evaluate duplicate data in Columns A through D? .....
I'm trying to create a macro to merge multiple rows into one cell and display in a new worksheet.
This seems really simple but I've tried to re-work some other examples I've found online but none seem to do exactly what I need. I'm also pretty new to VBA , so it's highly possible i've missed something.
I need to display each set of Notes for each DonorNo in one row - with each note separated by a space.
I've attached a sample of the data and what I need for the output. In the actually file I have around 70,000 records so the prospect manually merging the rows is horrifying.
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?
My Excel program (Excel 2010) currently has several columns and each column looks for and pulls data from a specific file on my computer. Then I need to delete any duplicate data entries, count the number of unique entries and track the changes through a chart. I have everything done except I cannot figure out (or find on the internet) a way to search in multiple columns (more than 2) and delete just the duplicate cells. I want to delete the cells in a way where there is one left. For example if the code 12gf is duplicated three time, I want to be left with one 12gf (it doesnt matter what column the original one is left in). Additionally, column length changes and they are not sorted. I have attempted to attach an image of an example file below.
I have two different spreadsheets with customer leads on them. I want to ensure that I don't duplicate my effort by contacting the same customers again, so I want to remove duplicates, but not in the usual way. If I simply use the remove duplicates function I will be left with a combined list of customers, some of which I have contacted and some of which I will not have contacted. I want to be able to search the second spreadsheet so that it removes the information that also exists in the first spreadsheet without combining the two so that I am left with a list of only customers I have not contacted already. I understand I may have to copy and paste, but I need a way to ensure the two lists are able to be separated once the duplicates are gone.
Someone said something to me about an "IF" function
I am trying to separate the data in my spreadsheet. I will attach the spreadsheets and explain below. T
The column labeled number has entries that include commas. I need each number entered separated and put into its own row and I need the remaining data from the original row duplicated to the new rows.
Here is an example using the first entry.
