if there is a way to find duplicate items in a list and return a value, if a duplicate exists.
Basically I have 19 buildings each with a separate bill of quantities. I'm looking to compare and compile a comprehensive list. So that duplicate items in different buildings can be compared side by side.
I have attached a sample of what I am trying to do.
I have two columns with aproximately 80,000 rows each lets say column A and D.
Column A has numbers and it is the most recent data extracted from a program. Column D has also numeric records most of which are also in column A.
I need a macro that will take each number in column D and compare it to column A when the macro finds that the number in D exists in column A it shoudl move the number on the same row on column B (right next to it)
If the number does not exist on on columna a It should start a list on column C.
I am a tax auditor, and I am working with excel and I have two lists. One is a complete list of items, both taxable and non-taxable, the other is a list of just non-taxable. I highlighted the non-taxable sales and copied and pasted them under the main list, and I want to delete all the non-taxable items. Basically, the only duplicates in my list are non-taxable, and I need to delete ALL of them.
I have a long list of work items that is referenced by a unique 7 digit number. I need to create a formula to identify the specific work items that is being duplicated in the list and generate that number. Example is as follows
Work Item#
1234567 1234568 1234567 1234569 1234568
Based on the above list, I need to create a formula that generates all work items that is being duplicated.In the example above, the formula should generate the following work items:
I have two sheets with about 7000 records in each. They both have two columns only. One is the master list. I want both of the files to be compared and then all the duplicate entries to be deleted from both files.
Ultimately I want to have only the entries in the master sheet that are not in the other sheet.
I have 2 huge lists. One is " the Master list" which I have to extract items that are not already listed on the second list . I don't want to remove duplicate entries,I want to remove the duplicates completely. in both lists, so that I only have items that are not in the second list...
I have a long list of work items based on a 7 digit number. The work item is referenced by a code named DS or WU.Example as below and the work item# has duplication throughout the list.(work item # repeated)
I need to create a formula that counts how many duplications of work items, by the number of DS or WU. Based on the above example, the formula should arrive at the results below
I have a report with ~44,000 line items. From this report, I need assistance generating a report that lists all unique line items. I am having problems trying to identify which line items are duplicates as I need to compare 4 different cells in each line to other lines to determine if it is a duplicate item (compare data from columns A, B, E, F)
For example, raw data may be as follows: Column A………Column B…….Column E…………….....Column F 10/13/2008…….11111111…….71879W561000……….888.88 10/13/2008…….22222222…….239103302000………..222.22 10/13/2008…….11111111…….71879W561000……….888.88 10/13/2008…….33333333…….353496508000………..333.33 10/13/2008…….44444444…….239103302000………..444.44 10/13/2008…….11111111…….71879W561000……….888.88 10/13/2008 ……11111111…….353496508000………..888.88............................
Note from above, there are two occurrences of a duplicate item. As a result, the output table would only list this item once.
I have attached a sample of the spreadsheet with dummy data on one tab and the desired output on another tab. Note that all the data is broken up into blocks of data that is separated by data that is only in the first column of the row.
What I am trying to accomplish is adding the values in column E that have a matching value in Column D and placing the total value of that calculation in column F in the cell that holds the last value for the matching value in column D
As you can see I have added the values in coulmn E that have a matching (Value) in cloumn D and the result is placed in the cell next to were the matching value in column D is last seen before another value begins.
In my case there are sometimes hundreds of value 1, 10 of value 2 and 15 of value 3. Currently I have to pick the cell I want to place the total in, click the AutoSum button and select the matching values in Column D then hit enter to get my result.
I am trying to create code for a Macro that will compare items in two seperate lists in a spreadsheet, and eliminate all entries that do not appear in both lists.
I have a list of values which also has duplicates. I want to remove the duplicates but after comparing it to the dates. Retain the latest date and remove the old dates Eg. there are two duplicates, one has a date of 31st Jan 2013 and the other one has a date of 25 jan 2013. I want to remove the duplicate which has the older date ( 25 Jan 2013) and keep the one which has the latest date.
I am trying to automate the creation of 3 pivot tables. At first I was having a problem with deselecting all items in the drop-down except one, then I found the code to fix it.
This fixed the problem, but there are still two other pivot tables that need to be created after this first one. I scrolled down through the code and deleted the other code blocks for the selection of the PivotItems and replaced it with the code above, but then when I ran it I got the "Compile Error: Duplicate Declaration in current scope".
I read more through the forum and realize that it's because VBA is dimensioning it twice, and I read that you're supposed to Dimension at the beginning of your program, but how do I implement this into my coding?
I can't dimension literally at the start of the code, there is some formatting that needs to take place first. (Basically I paste in a bunch of data into Sheet1 of my workbook, center it, space it out, then insert a pivot table into the pre-existing Sheet2 based on that data, filtered on the blank entries in Column N. Then I need to create ANOTHER pivot table based on that same data in Sheet1, but filtered on the blank entries in Column O. Then I center the words in the Pivot tables' headers in Sheet2, and finally I need to create one last pivot table on pre-existing Sheet3 based on the data on Sheet1, filtered for 2 specific entry types in Column N.)
I have 2 worksheets in which the worksheet named Existing Items has a table consisting of list of items with their unit price & worksheet named New Items also has a modified table with updated items (some parts might be added, removed, modified or unchanged). I have attached the test workbook (Sample.xlsx) here for your reference.
I am looking for a macro that compares these 2 sheets with the Part Number as a Unique Identifier & displays the result in the following manner:
New items added in New Items -> List these items in the Items Added worksheet Items removed from Existing Items -> List these items in the Items Removed worksheet Items whose price has changed in New Items -> List these items in the Price Change worksheet Items whose price has not changed in Existing Items & New Items -> List these items in the Unchanged worksheet A Summary worksheet which shows the count of items added, removed, modified & unmodified
Note that I have already included information in the Existing Items, New Items, Price Change, Unchanged & Summary worksheets just for your reference but this needs to be done by a macro.
I have a spreadsheet that I need to delete duplicate rows in. However, in order to determine if a row is a duplicate I need to check 2 cells per row. In the attached file you will see that each row has 4 cells. I need to compare the cells in columns B and C with the B and C cells of the Row beneath. If the B and C cells match then it is considered a duplicate and one of the rows needs to be deleted. Also, there may be multiple duplicate rows.
For an example see rows 17, 18 and 19. I only need 1 row to remain.
I am looking for a vb script that would analyze a file with thousands of rows and delete the duplicates.
I am currently working for data validation team. I have to validate tons of data every week so it would be great if i could remove dupicates.
I want to compare two worsheets, sheet 1 has the order number with description (which i have to find) for the current month and sheet two has got standard report from the past week giving all the order numbers with no description. I need a VBA based macro to find all matching order numbers which are in sheet 1 column A, in sheet2 column A and return the corresponding value in column B in sheet 2 and also return the description in Column C.
In Excel 2007, I need to be able to return a value (definition of something) based on what is selected in 2 other cells.
(See Attached) If in cell C2 I select "competency 1" and in Cell C3 I select "Expert", I need to be able to return the definition for someone that is an Expert in Competency 1 in cell D2.
Then, if in cell C5 I select "competency 2" and in Cell C6 I select "Leading", I need to be able to return the definition for someone that is Leading in Competency 2 in cell D5. And I'll be doing this about 10 times on each sheet.
All the tables with info are in another worksheet. I can do a vlookup if I'm just using one thing to match, but how do I match 2 things to return the definition?
I am trying to make a search form in Excel 2003 where I can lookup data for a specific value which may have multiple rows. I have several columns, column A Tracking Number, B Order number, C Item Number, etc.
For example; Order number S6001 has three item numbers on rows 1,2,and 3.
I can get the data on row 1 using the basic "LOOKUP" function but not rows 2 and 3. How do I have all of the line items (rows) returned for that order number.
I have a global list in B column and I want to create a text about the list. If I put "1" in A column, I want my text to be on B11 for the selected items. So excel should do a loop for the selected range and combine the selected items in a new line and give me as an output.
Is there a formula I can use in B2 whereby if the value in A2 is identical to the value in any other cell in column A, then return the value "duplicate" in B2?
I have two columns with the same data type (text) and I want to compare one column to another and if they match, return the data from another column.
For example: I have 2 columns of names on separate Excel files. One file contains name and phone numbers, while the other doesn't. I want to compare the names from file one with file two and if the names match, return the corresponding phone number in a new column.
I've tried VLOOKUP and IF statements, but I can't get it to come out.
I have a sheet with 2 big columns (3000 each). I want to search each element from the first column in the second column and put a message "Yes" if it is and "No" if it isn't, at the same position in the third column. How can i do that? I want to use the sheet for more than 3000 lines (about 5000). I attached an example.
What formula do I need for the cells in column F to show the name of the cheapest supplier ... for example the cheapest (£17,820) in line 2 is supplier A ????
There is no fixed pattern for the values, but they are separated by commas only. All i need is to compare col A and col B and return me the value in Col C like this,
Col C (col C is to know the removed value from comparison) F (for line 1)
Col D (to find the letters that are added from comparison) T (for line 2)
I have 2 columns of usernames A and B, A has approx 700 usernames and B has about 80. In column C I have a list of names 1 for each username in column A. I want to compare the B with A and if there is a match return the value in C and place it in D.
I have two columns of values and I want to compare them and return differing values. So I named the ranges "A" and "B" so if your in B but not in A I want that value in C.
I started with a vlookup but that doesn't seem appropriate to the way I was using it.
