How I will populate data of Weekday through the cells.
Is there a formula or function to populate data.
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.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've searched around the web for AverageIf solutions and found the CSE formulas. However I've come across a big problem I can't resolve.
I have two columns of data. Column A has _similar_ text and column B has data.
The problem is the following: AverageIf does not support finding similar text. This means that a formula like:
=AVERAGE(IF(A2:A400="Info/German*";F2:F200;FALSE)) does not work.
Column A contains words like Info/German, Info/German2, Info/Italian etc. But I only need to find the average of cells that begin with "Info/German".
Can I have text moving in a cell similar to a news flash.

I would like to find the value from Sheet2 Column1 in sheet1 Column1 and return value from Sheet1 Column2 and Column3 into Sheet2 Column2 and Column3
And if it doesn't find anything just return Not Found
The problem that a Vlookup is not working for me is because I want it to be the exact text from sheet2 column1 but in sheet1 column 1 it should not be exact as it might have some extra text as seen in the illustration above
I've been searching the forums for this problem but I can't seem to find any answers. Anyway, this is the problem. See screenshot.
I want to compare A1 for the values in column B, then return the corresponding cell (column C) in column D.
e.g. D1 = 2, D2 = 1, D3 = 4, D4 = 5 and D5 = 3.
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?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI 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?
EX: ....
I have a dataset of shifts and want to compare each shift that needs to be filled to a list of requests for time off (vacation, etc).
For one cell the code is: =IF(ISERROR(SEARCH(B1, A1), 0,1)
Where A1 is the column of requests in comma delimited forme (ie: "AB,CD,EF").
Where B1 is the column containing the person assigned to shift 1 (ie: "AB")
In this case, would return a "1" as no error was returned, as AB was found in the list. Here "1" would represent a schedule conflict.
Without creating many cells for each shift- there are 20 shifts- can I create an array or string together this type of "SEARCH" function?
I want to compare two columns. I would like to see if the contents of column B appear anywhere in column A, for any amount of rows, and if it does, to place the match in col C.
So in the example below, red in B1 would be checked in A1 through A1000 or however long A is. When any row has red, place that match in that row for C.
This would be repeated until all rows in B are complete.
Example
Col A: red
Col B: red
Col C: red
Col A: red
Col B: blue
Col C: not found
Trying to compare a list of names in 2 columns. Column A has a short list of names I'm looking for in the long list of Column B.
How can you create the macro that does...
If any value in Column A matches any value in Column B
Then format (bold, highlight, etc...)
I've got a very big spreadsheet with over 40,000 lines.
The text is sorted alphabetically, and on its side I'd like to have a column displaying how different it is from the cell above.
Example:
A1 - Mediterranean Sea. -----
A2 - Mediterranean Ses. ----- 5.55%
A3 - Atlantic Ocean. ----- 100%
Basically, 'Atlantic Ocean' is 100% different from the cell above, but A2 has only one letter different (out of 18, including the space and the dot) compared with A1, so it's only 5.55% different.
This would help me find which cells that are supposed to have the same content, have errors and thus are slightly different.
I think there's a function that compares two text values and determines if
they are "similar." For instance ABC would be considered a match with ZABC.
Is anyone familiar with this function?
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.
View 2 Replies View RelatedAs per title, I am trying to compare a column of text cells which contain "Yes" or are empty and a columns of numbers. If they are "Yes" and "1" on the same row, I want to output an "OK" message. Excel seems happy with the following code but it does not work and returns an empty cell if the two conditions are true.

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 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.
View 9 Replies View Relatedmacro 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.
This is a continuation of a thread that jindon and I had over at the "other" excel site.
OK, where did we leave off.. Oh yeah, It wont get past the:
If rng Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
because it thinks the range is empty.
Set rng = Range("b6:b1103").SpecialCells(2, 2)
I m trying to write some code use VBA in excel to look at cell C2 and if it equal A0 or whatever then it will put in cell D2 = "blah blah" and then go down to the next cell C3.
Select Case Range("C:C").Text

Range("B1").Value = "not booked"
Case "A1"
Range("B1").Value = "Misplace documents"
Case "A2"
Range("B1").Value = "Closing cancelled"
Case Else
End
End Select

I have a report that in one column codes (A1,A2,A3,B3 etc..) and these codes have a description and I want the VBA code to look at the description Code and then put in a different column the description. but Im having no luck.
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...
I have a spreadsheet that lists something like this (an easy version of it anyway!)
On tab 1 of my spreadsheet I have a table with lots of data similar to:
Column A Column B
111 12.23
111 14.32
222 48.23
222 28.34
222 10.23
222 33.40
333 23.21
On tab 2 of my spreadsheet I have unique versions of the data Column A on tab 1, for instance:
Column A
111
222
333
I would like to have a formula on tab 2 that can compare column A on tab 2 with column A on tab 1 - if it is similar I want it to total the amounts for all of the values equal.
So for instance, on tab 2 the final data should be this in my example:
Column A Column B
111 26.55
222 120.20
333 23.21
I've seen formulas that are similar.. but the condition is it can only total the rows that match. And preferably can do this from the other sheet.
If i have Two Column A and B

how can i compare column B with A
and Show Me that there are 1,1,1 is still not match

My requirement is compare two cells a1 & a2 if found true highlight a2,compare a2 & a3 if found same highlight a3 or compare a3 and a4 and repeat the same for the entire sheet.
I've a long list of value with indicator which I need to compare with an entry after which it need to return a text indicator. I'm using IF and MATCH function.
Following is the code I use:
=(IF(MATCH(C1,$D$5:$D$29,0)<=5,$E$9,IF(MATCH(C1,$D$5:$D$29,0)<=10,$E$14,IF(MATCH(C1,$D$5:$D$29,0)<=1 5,$E$19,IF(MATCH(C1,$D$5:$D$29,0)<=20,$E$24,IF(MATCH(C1,$D$5:$D$29,0)<=25,"Not Found"))))))
I've attached an excel file with an sample. Btw, Is there anyway I can omit the length of IF & MATCH function by using other function.
I have the following:
cell B2 value = "P1'08"
cell C2 Value = "P11'09"
cell H1 Value = "P4'09"
The value stands for the Periodnumber and a Year so P1'08 stands for period 1 in the year 2008.
In cell H2 I want the following:
If value in cell H1 is the same as B2 or C2 or is in between these periods then the value in H2 should be the value of cell D2. If not the H2 should be empty.
I'm trying to make a macro which compares the content of two cells and delete the row if there are more then one of.
For example:
Column A Column B
test 1 10
test 1 10
test 1 20
test 2 30
test 2 30
The result must be:
Column A Column B
test 1 10
test 1 20
test 2 30
Is here a code for to resolve this?
I have three cells - A1, B1, C1 and each contains a value of yes or no.
If more than two of the cells say "yes", I want the fourth cell (D1) to display "yes."
If less than two columns say "yes", I want the fourth cell (D1) to display "no" .
I've a spreadsheet and I need to find cells in Column A that contains certain text and subsequently being able to compare the data in 2 other cells (column F and Column J) and post the results of comparison in Column L. Please see the tables below:
In this table, if Range("A1") contains abc, then data in Range("f1") would be compared against Range("J1"). If F1 = J1, then Range("L1") would say "ok" otherwise "needs to check" as in Rows 2.
Please note that the amount of data varies daily.
