I recently posted a similar thread which was very well supported but I couldn’t get a solution because my requirements were not clear enough. I would like to try again with a slightly easier and clearer requirement.
I would like a spreadsheet that compares and searches columns for text and returns true if a duplicate is found.
It is similar to a lottery checker except the lines being checked could be a string instead of a single character.
I have attached a spreadsheet which helps explain what I’m trying to achieve.
Basically, a user can sequentially enter a single character to cells F1:F5. These values are then compared to columns A:C. If one of the columns contain the values in column F then return true to G1.
I have one sheet and i want to compare the first word in the column "D". If the first word of D2, is the same than the first word of D3, i want to copy to another sheet and after the copy, insert 2 blank rows... if it's different, i want to copy and insert 3 blank rows
Maybe it's better to attach the file. In the first sheet, you'll see a little part of the real sheet, and the second sheet is the example of what results i want to obtain with code...
how to Chk the text string in particular cell, compare it with a super set column and get the full from of the text string from another corresponsing column and the output will be corresponsing full form of the chked text string?
I am trying to find out what formula I would need to use in order to have two columns compared. If the two columns have the same information I want the information from column 3 to be place in another particular cell.
I have two columns, salesman and date. This workbook tracks quotes by salesman. I need to know how many quotes for each salesman by the month. So what I need to know is how quotes salesman 'a' had in January and February and so on. I have several worksheets in this workbook that are all formatted the same.
macro to compare 4 columns of text (first and last names) then add a checkmark in separate columns if they match and don't match? For example I have this kind of data to compare and the results required:
Sheet 1 Last Name First Name Smith Mike Johnson Bruce Hendrick Fred Shaffer Kerry
Sheet 2 Last Name First Name Match No Match Klee Pierre X Verge Kerry X Smith Mike X Wright David X Hendrick Fred X
I need the macro to mark an X in the Match column if the first and last names match only and if they do not match exactly a X in the No Match column.
I am working on a time management sheet for my company. I need to be able to click a button and have the file search 3 columns for a persons initials and then hide all the rows where the initials are not in at least one of the three columns. I seem to have no problem getting it to work for one column at a time, but as soon as I try to search more than one it all falls apart.
I will also need to create an unhide all button to reset the sheet after the macro has been run.
I have attached a sample of the sheet below. Each project needs to have 3 rows to show the schedule and budget broken down by each team member.
I need to compare two colums by number decription for example m344 in one column and fsh344-1 in another. All I want to match is 344. In column a I want to indcate the match by placing an X by each match. View my attachment for reference. I don't know if it makes a difference but the columns are centered in my original spreadsheet.
I'm trying to compare values in 2 separate columns to see how many times the same value appears in both columns. Ideally I would be able to insert a range function to compare the values in the column "ID 1" against the values in column "ID 2" and return the count of times that a value appears in both columns. For example 2122, 1112 and 1718 appear in both columns and I would like the formula to return a count of 3.
In my actual project I'm comparing 2 columns in the same worksheet. The column are column B with data in cells B2:B10266 against column C with data in cells C2:C18560.
designing a macro, which can compare the sheet1 and sheet2 data (exclude E and G columns) and find duplicates rows of data in sheet1 and sheet2. The output after the macro, would be show duplicates found in sheet1 and sheet2, through highlighting the rows.
I have two worksheets with products that I need to compare.
Each product has a code and a product name in the following format: Column A has the product code and column D the product name,for example:
ColumnA: AM1BL15X
ColumnD: AGLO MEL BLANCO 1C 15MM 215X244
Both sheets *should* have the same data in them but there are 4000 products that need to have their description verified.So I need to go down each row on Sheet1 , extract the product code from Sheet1.ColumnA and the product name from Sheet1.ColumnD. Then do a search on Sheet2 for the product code (Sheet2.ColumnA) and verify that the product description on sheet2 (Sheet2.ColumnD) is the same as in Sheet1.ColumnD. If it matches,everything is OK. If not there is something wrong. So I´m thinking that maybe the product codes that dont have matching descriptions could be entered in to a separate worksheet so that someone can check it later.
I´ve been reading around and found these code samples from this site [url]:
Dim rng1 as Range, i as Long Dim cell as Range With worksheet("Sheet1") set rng1 = .Range(.Cells(1,1),.Cells(1,1).End(xldown)) End With
i = 0 for each cell in rng1
if cell.Value worksheets("Sheet2") .Range("A1").Offset(i,0).Value Then ' do what - they don't match else ' do what - they match End if i = i + 1 Next
I´ve been trying to make some changes but I dont quite know how to get this working to do what I want and I only get errors.

I am trying to make a summary from a table showing the newest value available for a set of items(1,2,3,4), this is according to an investigation date the summary table shoul display only the values for the investigation date, but if there are no values for the investigation date, them should take the previous recent date from the investigation date, and if there is not value at all, then shown N/A
I am attaching the excel sheet for a better ilustration of the problem I tryed a combination of formulas that I tooked from other threads but is not working properly.
I'm looking for a function (or combination of functions) that will essentially search for a row that contains two specific values (in two different cells), then grabs a value from another cell in the same row to use in a calculation.
I don't know... that probably doesn't make any sense, and maybe there's no way to get it done. If so, it would save me hours. Couldn't see a way to attch an example file to my post, otherwise I could probably describe it a bit clearer.
I have a workbook that has worksheeets for every day of the month. The data in the worksheet consists of columns (employee #, name, clock in/out times, and break penalty).
What I am trying to do is create another worksheet that searches all the other worksheets for a "yes" in the "break penalty" column and then create a list of all the employees that received a break penalty for the entire month. I would like this to be able to auto populate throughout the month as data is entered and not have to use a filter every time I want to compile this list.
1. Search an excel sheet "column" for a particular type of text and insert values based on that text (if found) in another column.
e.g I have column A1 to A10 with different types of text. I would like to search for the keyword "Risk is high" OR "Risk=High" for each cell in the column and insert a "1" if found beside it's corresponding "B" column. If not found, I would like to insert a "0".
So, if the text "Risk is high" OR "Risk=High" was only found in A6, I would like B6 to be "1". Rest of the values in the B column would be "0's", since the text was not found in any of the other cells.
I am trying to write a function that will compare the text of cell "A2" to the text of cell "B2" and display cell "A2"'s text characters that didnt match from cell "B2" in column C. Can anyone help me out with writing this formula?
Fist I want to compare ColB=ColH, if TRUE, compare colA=colG, if TRUE, again compare colC=colI, IF all this conditions true, then give (colD-colJ) on colL.
all the unmatched rows in 2 tables to populate with different for each table
i've check the other threads on how to compare two columns but for some reason it is still not working for me.
I have 2 columns. Column A is the master column and column B is the comparing list. If the company that is listed in Column B (Anywhere in column B) matches exactly with the company name in column A, I would like it to say "check" in column C.
I have two diffrent sets of columns of data on a spreadsheet one column set is A,B the other is D,E I want a formula or makro that will check columns A,B and compare it to D,E and if it finds a match will paste it in G,H is that possible and how would I do this?
I will ike to compare both "admin no." column and when worksheet 1 5555 can be find in worksheet 2, it will return True. 6666 cannot find in worksheet 2 then it will return false.
Search the activecell for a text string (a), and then either paste in text string (b) at the end of the cell if (a) is found, or text string (c) if (a) is not found.
For example, if the activecell has "AA/" in it, I want the cell to become "AA/01" (pasting in "01" at the end), and if the cell has just "AA" in it, I want it to still become "AA/01" (pasting "/01" at the end). The macro will be linked to a commandbutton.
I am looking to automate a process where information is sent to someone in a text format and they in turn transfer that data to an excel file. It basically looks like this (but includes a lot more info):
Service Request #: 123456 Instrument Type: New Instrument Lot/Serial #: 123456 SR Type: Product Complaint Service Coverage: Maintenance Agreement
The info on the left (text preceding the colon) is always the same but the values following the colon can change. The excel file has all of the text before the colon and they just enter the information into the cells. I am looking to make it so that an Excel macro (or maybe a word/outlook macro) automatically scans the text document and sends this info to the exact same cells in excel every time.
The text file is actually a message from an Oracle database and I am not going to be able to make any changes to the way the data comes in.
I need to compare two columns A and B with a result in column E. BUT I don't want the result to be added together. ( since it's receipt numbers ) SO my formula is incorrect I need a formula that will show the receipt numbers next to each other divided by a comma or forward slash...
I have column A with 228 rows and column D with 314 rows. Both columns have the same data except that D has different data. I would like to line up everything that is the same in A and D and everything else in column D that is not the same move to G. Is there a quick way to do this?
