I receive a daily spreadsheet which contains (amongst other information) a column of postcodes. I'd like to run a macro which compares these postcodes with a list of other postcodes, and then to colour highlight each instance of that post code in the daily spreadhseet.
I have been able to find and modify a macro but that searches for one post code at a time and then adds a comments box to the cell.
Instead of copying that piece of code and editing it for the several hundred post codes I need to "look up" against, I'd like to know how to create a list of post codes in the macro, so that the macro searches the first post code in the lookup list, finds and highlights each cell instance, then moves onto the next post code in the lookup list, until the end of the lookup list. I would like this as the editing of the lookup list would be much easier than editing paragraphs of code.
The Master list: Sheet1, Column C has unique numbers, i.e, 0608-211-1093-2.
(can have thousands of entries)
The Comparison list: Sheet2, Column C will have duplicates of some of Sheet1, Column C numbers.
(Sheet2, Column C will have the numbers but other columns will have different data than Sheet1 and may have a few hundred entries or less)
I need a macro that will that will compare the two sheets for duplicates based on Column C and then write the entire row of Sheet1 with the duplicate number to a new Sheet3.
Need to find a column of numbers from one worksheet and delete them from another.
Example To be deleted is below: 83221 83223 83232 83233 83236 to be deleted from is below: 83221 83223 83226 83227 83228 83229 83230 83232 83233 83234 83235 83236
Another issues is that the worksheet that needs to have the numbers deleted from has 3 columns total so the whole row would need deleting, or if its easier I could replace the numbers with 0 and then sort and delete.
searching between 2 columns (A:B) and finding duplicate emails using some type of formatting that will highlight duplicate emails?

I am using MS Excel 2007 and not very experienced, but this is for a marketing golf tournament my company is hosting.
I'm trying to compare two lists of songs to see which songs are not shared by both lists. I wrote a simple function to try to do this but ran into problems pretty fast. I want to create a function which will tell me if the song in a cell (lets say cell B2) is the same as any of the cells in Column A.
The first list contains site numbers of people who havent responded to me.
The second list is the master list of site numbers along with a column showing the date they responded.
Now, a site number is built like this:
123456/0001 123456/0002
So it is possible for the same 6 digits to appear more than once in the master list.
What I need to do is to compare the first 6 digits in the non responder list against the master list, because some sites, like the example above, may have more than one '0001' tag and so if they have responded to me from site '0002' I dont want to spam their other sites with emails.
I've tried using match and various formulas I've found from google etc, but nothing seems to work!
The goal of this is to get a list of non respondents that have not responded from any of their sites listed in the master list.
I have two separate lists, one in Column A and the other in Column B. Both lists are roughly 2,000 rows long. For the most part, the two lists are identical, but not quite.
I'm trying to determine what data is present in Column A that is absent from Column B, and vice versa. That's easy enough to do with COUNTIF (at least that's what I've tried), but to complicate matters, duplicate entries appear in both column A and column B.
For example, in column A, the word "Electric" appears 13 times...but in column B, it only appears 8. I need to know these differences in a quick and easily readable way (remember, the spreadsheet is roughly 2,000 rows).
I have a large list of items and have set up some dynamic drop down lists but need to know if/how to make these lists only show each item once and therefore ignore any duplicates.
I have two seperate lists. One on Sheet 1 and One on sheet 2. What I need to do is take the list on sheet 2 and compare it to the list on sheet 1. If any of the items appear on sheet one, I need to delete those items form sheet 2.
So in the end the only items left on sheet 2 will be items that dont match any items on sheet 1
Every Monday, our database sends me a list in excel, with a snapshot of our inventory.
Here is (simplified) how it looks like
part#, desc, color, units 001 Camry Black 13 003 Toyota Green 2 009 Honda Yellow 17
and so on for about 8k rows.
Every Monday, the list is different. we sold some items, so the "units" in stock are less, we run out of some items, so that part# is not in the list, we acquired some new items, with a different part#, and new amount of units, some part#s have more units in stock.
I need to send to our boss, a spreadsheet with a list of all part#s in stock every Monday, and the last 4 weeks, how many we sold of each in the last 7 days, so we can try to get rid of inventory that is getting obsolete.
It would be easy to do, if not for the fact of the "new" items that come in, and the items that we run out of, and are not in the list anymore. With 8k items, to to the corrections by hand, it gets old very quickly
I need to search a column of numbers in Excel (A) and compare it to another column (B). I need to find all of the numbers that apprear in column A but not in column B. Can this be done?
how to compare the value in one cell on sheet "Block #1" to a list of values on sheet "Data". Specifically I want to be able to look at the value in a cell (which will be a date) and then compare it to a list of company holidays on another sheet in the workbook and if the date is a company holiday it will display the word "Holiday" in another cell I specify on "Block #1" I am doing this to automate generation of a calendar which will have 13 worksheets one for each of 13 4-week blocks. I can get the calendars generated, but can't seem to be able to get it to compare the values of each date to the list of holidays.
I have 3 columns A: surnames, B: names and C: dates of birth. I have already used filtering to sort the data, however I have too many names ( many thouands) to look through them to ldelete duplicates.
I was thinking about something like =IF(A1:A3=B1:B3; "1"), but it doesn't work.
I have a sheet that I use to go through and check data that is returned to me from clientel. Currently I am working on getting it to check for duplicates and having a heck of a time. Here is how I would like it to work. check the comment on all the cells in row 1. If the comment box has the keyword unique anywhere in its text then select that column, and highlight all duplicate entries. I have found plenty of examples on how to get it to highlight duplicates, but nothing close about trying to do it within the same contexts as I am trying.
I have a list of two rows of over 20,000 items. I would like to know what data has been added to the second row from the first row and what has been removed.
I am currently trying to work out what the best way would be to search between two sheets and find out where the differences are. IO have sheet 1 and 2 which both have account numbers and details on. I searching off the first column on both sheets and trying to identify which records exist on sheet 1 but not on sheet 2. The code I have so far is
Sub check() data_sheet = "Sheet1" target_sheet = "sheet2" rowcn = 2 Do If Sheets(data_sheet). Cells(rowcn, 1) <> Sheets(target_sheet).Cells(rowcn, 1) Then Rows(rowcn).Select Selection.Font.ColorIndex = 3 End If rowcn = rowcn + 1 Loop While Sheets(data_sheet).Cells(rowcn, 1) > 0 End Sub
This currently works 50%. Only problem is that this code is not independant to each list, it simply looks at the same cell reference on both sheets and check whether the value is there. It doesnt actually go down the whole list and checks whether it is there.
I have attached the excel sheet for reference. As shown in the "After" sheet, i need the 2nd to nth instance of duplicate keywords to be highlighted with some color.
is there a formula I could use to compare two similar lists to determine what is missing, for example an old list of 200 lines and another of 275 lines, with a first column containing unique ID code.
I have two spreadsheets full of products one of new products and the other of old products. I want to filter out the old ones that are discontinued but keep the ones that are still there. The old list has data I want to preserve for the new listings that would be duplicates from the old ones. I want to delete the new listings that already exist in the old list. I'm not sure exactly how to do it. I tried to delete dups based on product id or name but I'm afraid it's deleting entries I want to keep. Both lists contain over 5000 products each. I need to compare two lists and filter out the old products then work on removing the dupes.
In list 1 the non-matching address is a@spam.com. namely it is not common to both lists. I want to automatically go through the lists and output firstly a new list of the non-matches from column 1 and also a new list of the non-common items from list two.
So in this case the result would be that somewhere there is a new list from list 1 that has "a@spam.com" and secondly there is a new list from list 2 that has "abcdef@spam.com."
Obvioulsy the real list is more complicated and longer but the principle will be the same.
I have searched some of the other forums but have not found anything specifically related to what I'm trying to do.. An example is attached. Basically just want to compare data between two different lists and then in two additional columns (Differences & Similarities) display that corresponding data.
I'm running a football competition for my business where customers are required to guess World Cup football scores via Facebook. I'm storing all their entries in a spreadsheet.
In the spreadsheet column a is their name, b is the match (e.g. England v Italy), c is the home tame (England), d is the score (1-1), e is the away team (Italy)
Across from, that I have the actual fixtures taking place at the World Cup. So column I is the date, K is the home team (England), L is the actual score (2-0) and M is the away team (Italy)
What I need is a formula that when I enter the result on a game into the right set of columns (Columns I:M) it will highlight those Columns (Columns C:E) that have entered that correct score.
It needs to compare 3 columns and not just one because for example if it highlights the score (1:1 for example) it could be highlighting someone who picked Spain v Holland 1:1 where the correct result would be someone who picked England v Italy 1:1.
