Compare And Search Columns For Text?

Apr 14, 2009

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.

Sheet 2
Last Name First Name Match No Match
Klee Pierre X

Counting Formula (compare Values In 2 Separate Columns To See How Many Times The Same Value Appears In Both Columns)

Oct 13, 2008

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.

ID 1ID 2
12342122
45671112
89101718
11122678
13144544
15162324
17189987
19201215
21221928
1976
2576
2345
4678

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.

Macro To Compare Columns A & B And Dispaly Any Duplicates In Columns C & D

Feb 21, 2009

what I'm after is a macro to check the contents of Column 'A' against column 'B' and display any duplicates in Columns 'C' & 'D'.

N.B. The headings of Columns C & D are :-

C = Value Found in Column A

D = Value Found in Column B

Any duplicate entries logged in columns C & D should be listed in C2,C3,C4....C20 and D2,D3,D4......D20 etc (in effect creating two new lists)

Compare Multiple Text Cells To One String Of Text And Return Specified Value

May 12, 2012

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?

Compare Across Multiple Columns

Mar 3, 2009

I can find lots of ways to compare two lists with single columns, but I need a very basic guide to comparing multiple ones across two sets of data and then highlighting or extracting the unique records. I would prefer to keep the data in the existing columns for later sorting and other purposes.

I currently have the two datasets as two separate worksheets in an Excel 2003 file. The two datasets consist of the same three columns containing strings of text, but there is quite a difference in the number of rows. Dataset One is c. 3550 records, Dataset 2 is c. 1600. There are no duplicate records within each dataset, but there are duplications across the datasets and the records are in a different order, so it's not a matter of comparing Row 1 to Row 1 and so on. The data look a bit like this (semi-colons to show columns):

DATASET 1
Group;Family;Name
PM;Smith;Mary Anne
PM;Jones;Fred Henry
PD;Wilson;Peter John
PG;Green;William Laurence
...............

Vlookup - Compare Two Columns

Oct 26, 2009

I need a Vlookup to look at two columns when searching. here is an example:

Sheet 1 is my report grid to hand out to the employees, A1 has a drop-down list with my employees names and A2 one for the month, when you click an employee name the vlookup formula fills in the information from sheet 2 (data sheet).

Sheet 2 has data like: Col 1= Month, col 2=employee L-name, col 3= production etc...

currently the vlookup formula messes up because the employee name is in there multiple times because of the months column, i have to delete all months except the one i need. formula is: =vlookup(A1,'sheet2'!,B:C,2,false)

this formula will pull the data in sheet two column 3 (production) for the employee that matches.

how can i make it compare first to col 1 (month) and then col 2 (employee).

Compare More Than Two Columns With Names

Mar 6, 2014

I want to compare many columns and find duplication in the last one;

Example:

Column A Column B Column C Column D Column E
1234 1234 1 A OK
1235 1235 1 A OK
1236 1236 3 A OK
1237 1236 0 A OK
1238 1236 1 B Duplication found in different column
1239 1238 0 A OK

To get Column "C" which is calculate how many numbers in that row are repeated with respect to Column "B", I solve it by using : =COUNTIF(B:B,A2) ;

But I want to get a result of duplication in "Column E" by see if "Column B" + "Column D" has the same value regardless of number then say "OK", but if it is not than the before, then write "Duplication found in different column".

Compare Columns Between Two Sheets

Apr 30, 2009

The code below compares values on sheet 4 column A to sheet 3 column A and then colors a cell "Green" (Temporary), later I will place data from sheet 4 into sheet 3.

I dont know why but when it finds data on sheet 4 that is not 100% numeric it errors out.

Run-time error '91'
Object variable or With block variable not set.

The data in sheet 4 column A is primarily numeric, there are and always will be some numeric/alpha strings.
I can change the value of sheet 4 A2 to "123x" from "123" and the code stops as described. Leaving sheet 4 A1 as 100% numeric, which works fine.
