Comparing 2 Columns Have Similar Data - Extract Matching Data
Apr 18, 2013
So I have this problem in excel with comparing 2 columns.
Basically, I have 2 columns(a &B) that I need to compare with one another and find out the matching data. I am trying to use that matching data to enter in our reports.
Both columns might have duplicate items because I am dealing with premium numbers.
Formula to compare these 2 columns and find the matching data and extract it to a separate column. Keep in mind, i am dealing with almost 20,000 lines of data.

I've got a pretty tough problem I need to solve with excel. So im comparing prices of products from 2 Different Sources, I need the best method of comparing these sets of data. Realistically I need both sets of data to compare and move automatically (or create duplicates elsewhere) to show the product ID, Price A and Price B.
Here's an example
Supplier A
Cheese Grater: 39.99
Golden Spoon: 129.99
Supplier B
Cheese Grater: 59.99
Golden Spoon: 89.99
These values will then combine to read
Supplier A Supplier B
Cheese Grater: 39.99 59.99
Golden Spoon: 59.99 89.99
Not sure if it will matter but both lists are not identical, all I want are the matches not the ones unique to different suppliers.
This comparison list is like 12,000 products long, I'll never be able to do it manually. This has stumped me for a while now I only seem to be able to find formulas which give TRUE / FALSE or Colour changes.

I am trying to compare a list of product codes on sheet 1 column A, with a larger list of product codes on sheet 2 column B.
My aim: when i click to button on sheet one the part numbers that are in both lists (sheet 1 and 2) Should be moved into sheet 3 columns B and be rearranged so that they match horzontally with the full sheet two pricelist which will have now moved to column A sheet 3. This should leave gaps in column B where there was no matching part number.

I need help creating a formula to find data in one column that starts with different letters and counts them up.
For example one column would contain the words amoung others:
DPDE
DNPD
EPRO
EOTH
YBRC
YUND
In the other column I want to count up the amount of times a word starts with the letter D or E or Y. The count comes from another spreadsheet, which the CMRF Tool (See attachment) is pasted at the bottom of.
The Monthly case report file is the file I want to get the count from. These would come from Column O once the data is there. The count would end up in column D of the CMRF tool which is pasted at the bottom of the monthly case report file.

I have on excel file like this :
SKU PRICE QUANTITY
1........25...........4
2.........41..........9
etc......etc........etc
The second one looks like this :
SKU UPC
0...786876
1...44777
etc...etc
While the first file contains about 300 active products the second one has a list of about 2000 active and deactivated products. What I need is to extract the UPC from the second file matching the active SKU from the first file so I have a final file that looks like this:
SKU UPC PRICE QUANTITY
1..44777...25.........4
and so on.

I have need to do a comparison of 2 values located in different columns. As this is almost impossible to describe in text format, I have included a spreadsheet showing exactly the problem. Im sure the solution will involve INDEX and MATCH but every permutation I have tried has failed (possibly theres another way?).

Right now i have a list of data in text format....they are stock tickers. One column is about 2000 entries long and the other is 500 entries long. I need to compare the two columns together and highlight the entries in the long column when they match to an entry in the 500 column. I have tried so many different formulas and conditional formatting on my own and can't figure it out

So I played around with the macro i posted on the previous thread, two allow me to compare two columns of data to see if they contain the same information, and have come up with the below, which works almost flawlessly:
[Code]....
The idea being that it compares the two rows of data, then in the colmun to the right puts a y or n if the data is contained in both cells. I have added in some code that related to highlighting those cells with 'n' in the allow me to see it much easier. The macro works fine, however it seems that when it runs, it will sometimes highlight random cells not in column d, for example colum g etc.

I have an attendance sheet that employees scan their badge number, and returns their name and time/date stamp using a simple VLOOKUP.
I want to create a report that compares the names in the attendance sheet against the all the names in the master sheet, and only returns the names that have not attended the training.
I have tried a few test formulas using COUNTIF function, but with no luck.
I have attached an example. Use the worksheet labeled April 2014 A (2nd shift)

I'm using Excel 2010 on Windows 7.
I have 2 worksheets. One has Employees and the devices they have. Last name, First Name, Device each in their own colulmn. Many have more than 1 device so they have multiple entries on seperate rows.
Another worksheet has Employees and thier location. Last name, First Name, Location. Again, all on seperate columns.
It would look something like this
Sheet1
Lastname
Firstname
Device
Johnson
[Code]...
So I'm tasked with combining them into 1 sheet with last name, first name, device and location. The issues I'm having are:
1) A team member could have multiple devices
2) A last and/or first name can appear many times, so a simple Vlookup against lastname won't work - it has to somehow also compare against both.

I have 2 columns of data. Both should ultimately have identical data,
but both have extranious data I need to separate. These lists will be
300+ long, so by hand is taking forever. Example:
Column A Column B
12345 12344
12346 12345
12347 12346
12348 12347
12349 12349
I need a way to extract the 12344 from column B since it is not in A,
and 12348 from A since it is not in B. They do not have the same number
of entries.

i am using this spreadsheet to monitor when equipment is being borrowed in the office and want a quick view reference (columns A-C) based on the data entry in columns &G. Please note that htis is an example as the original file is confidential, if someone can answer my query here i will transfer the formula to my actual workbook. In the actual workbook the data entry and quick view will be on different sheets if this makes a difference.

I have 2 columns of text A & C and I want to find any text in C where the entry is matched in A, and then have the text entered into column B next to the match found in column A. As always an example as my explanations are usually poor.

I'm working on a excel sheet to compare data of 2 columns. One column (or array), let's say C3:C13 contains "x" in some of its cells. The other column, let's say P3:P13, contains "d" in some of its cell. What I would like to do is compare the cells of the same row, see if they contain any data and return 1.
So if C3 contains an "x" and P3 contains a "d", therefore it returns 1. If C4 doesn't have an "x" and P4 has a "d", it will return a 0.
The closest I can get to this is the following formula
=SUM(IF(AND(C3="x",P3="d"),1,0), IF(AND(C4="x",P4="d"),1,0), IF(AND(C5="x",P5="d"),1,0), IF(AND(C6="x",P6="d"),1,0)), IF(AND(C7="x",P7="d"),1,0)), IF(AND(C8="x",P9="d"),1,0)), IF(AND(C6="x",P6="d"),1,0))...
However, this formula is way too long. Is there another way of writting or simplifying this formula?

I'm using the code below to compare columns on two sheets (1 column for each) and where there is a match, copy data from the 'Source' to 'Destination' sheet.
[Code] ...........
The code works fine, but I'd like to amend this, but I'm a little unsure about how to proceed.
The script currently compares column C on the 'Source' sheet with column D on the 'Destination' sheet and where a match is found copy column G from the 'Source' sheet and pastes this to column O on the 'Destination' sheet.
I'd still like to copy and paste the same columns, but I'd like to compare two columns from each sheet, so from the 'Source' sheet compare columns C and E to columns D and J on the 'Destination' sheet.

I am trying to do a multiple compare.
First I have a table that has these headings with data..
Name, Level, Req1, Req2, Req3, Req4
Bob, 2, 423, 506, 649, 798
Fred, 4, 601, 799, 1023, 1547
In another section I have..
name Drop down, level drop down. with the 4 Req.
Basically, when you select Fred and 4, I want to to display 601, 799, 1023, and 1547 in the columns to the left of where you do the selection. (which is not in the same place as that table at the top of this question.

An excel file with over 400 worksheets in it. I need to copy the data, a bunch of numbers, from column C, column F and column I, and paste them in a new file or worksheet all in column A of the new sheet.
All of the 400+ worksheets have these numbers I need to grab in the same columns- C, F and I.
I spent most of the day Friday cutting and pasting. I am experimenting with macros, but I am just not that good.

I need to find if there are matching addresses in 2 different excel files. If the same address appears in both files, I would like the new worksheet to return the address along with the sale price from the 1 file and the rental amount from the other file.
I have tried using vlookup but the problem is the exported data file contains the street number in one column and the street name on another column. I have attached a truncated example of both the rental data and the residential sales data.

I am struggling with an Excel Database, to make it "cleaner". Here is my problem. My database looks something like that:
Column A Column B Column C ... Column H
ID Age Date of Birth ... Language
00001 14 01/01/2000 ... English
00001 14 01/01/2000 ... French
00002 14 01/01/2000 ... English
00003 14 01/01/2000 ... French
00003 14 01/01/2000 ... German
00001 14 01/01/2000 ... Spanish
Basically, Columns B & C will never change for the same ID, but columns G, H and others contain data that is different from one row to the other. What i wwould like to do is having unique values in Rows, with Languages displayed in Columns. The database would look like this:
Column A Column B Column C ... Column H Column I Column J
ID Age Date of Birth ... Language 1 Language 2 Language 3
00001 14 01/01/2000 ... English French Spanish
00002 14 01/01/2000 ... English
00003 14 01/01/2000 ... French German
The challenge is that I would need this to be done with formulas only, not using any kind of code. Deleting duplicates manually after "cleaning" the database should'nt be a problem. I tried a formula found on this forum, but i couldn't manage to make it work. The formula looked like this:
{=IFERROR(INDEX($C$4:$C$8;SMALL(IF(FREQUENCY(MATCH($C$4:$C$8;$C$4:$C$8;0);MATCH($C$4:$C$8;$C$4:$C$8;0));ROW($C$4:$C$8)-ROW($C$4)+1);ROWS(C$16:C17)));"")}
