I want to be able to stick "A" in Col1 (FROM) and the number 81 to automatically appear in Col3 (FROM Val). I am unabel to use LOOKUP as my Pocket PC doesen't recognise it.. VLOOKUP and HLOOKUP are ok though, I just can't seem to get them to work for me.

Comparing Customer Names In Rows And Returning Text Data In Different Cells If Same

Jan 26, 2010

I've got a list of donor names, names listed multipled times in Column A, each row with different donation data. For instance:

Sheet 1

A1 - Mary Jones, B1- Internet Donation
A2 - Mary Jones, B2 - Silent Auction Purchase
A3 - Mary Jones, B3 - Event Ticket Purchase
A4 - Gary Jones, B4 - Foundation Grant
A5 - Gary Jones, B5 - Internet Donation
A6 - Sara Parker, B6 - Event Ticket Purchase

I want Excel to compare rows A1 and A2, and if the name has not changed, enter the donation data from Column B into another sheet that will just list that person's name once:

Sheet 2

A1 - Mary Jones, B1- Donation1, C1 -Donation2, D1 - Donation3
A2 - Gary Jones, B2 - Donation1, C2 - Donation2, D1 - Donation3 (which would return no value because there the name changes

Does this involve IF, MATCH or VLOOKUP formulas?

Concatenate Cells To Produce Full Postal Address

Feb 7, 2009

I am trying to simplify the manipulation of data to create a full postal address from a range of cells.

Due to the varied way in which postal addresses are made up, I have found it necessary to create a 2nd Worksheet, which uses helper columns to ensure that spaces and commas appear in the right places.

I recently came across some code on this site from JBeaucaire which I have tried out but in my particular workbook, the commas and spaces do not come out correctly.

The enclosed sample workbook contains a selection of addresses which should cover most of the variations for addresses in the way that they are entered in my main workbook.

Sheet1 (Master) is the main data.
Sheet2 shows the formulas that I have used to create a full postal address.
Sheet3 makes use of a VBA Module and shows the results.

I felt that VBA code is the right way to go but I'm unable to modify the code to make it work or come up with an alternative VBA solution.

Produce A Report In Specific Layout From Varying Data

Sep 18, 2009

My last post here was brilliant, I was very close to figuring the problem out myself (I'm learning) and the help I got here really was useful to help me finally get what i wanted to work.
Unfortunately, this request isn't so simple, as I haven't a clue what to even search the forum for to help me with this.

I have attached a simplified example to try and explain what i would like to happen.

Sheet1 holds information which is regularly updated, so the number of rows can vary, as the number of customers vary.

I want to produce a management report from this data, with a specific layout.
I have put the layout into Sheet2 - the cells highlighted in yellow are there simply as a reference to show the cell from which column would go where.

I produced the top report, by filling the cells with =and then clicking on the cell on sheet1 that I wanted displayed there.
I thought that if I then selected the table and filling down, it would produce the same layout table for all the other rows - but I was wrong.

Another problem is that, this report is needed to be entirely automatic, so I don't want to fettle filling down cells for the number of rows. I will need it to count the number of rows in Sheet1 and produce a report in the specific layout for each company in sheet 2.

It may be an option to use a button create the report, to save the report into a new workbook with automatic file name containing the date and also print a copy out automatically on the default printer.

I don't know how to go about this task at all, so I would really appreciate some help, even if it is pointers for what i should be searching the forum for!

Produce Summary Workbook Sheet With Data From Multiple Workbooks

Mar 26, 2013

I have created a template workbook for individuals who work on different sites. The spreadsheets used by each individual have the same headers. The sheets all sit in the same folder in dropbox.

I am wanting to produce a summary workbook within the dropbox folder that automatically populates when an individual updates their workbook.

I have attached mock example of the individuals worksheet for your information.

The questions that I have are as follows:

1. Is it better within an individuals workbook that they record their activity all on one sheet as opposed to having a spreadsheet per months activity? It seems tidier to have a sheet per month but does this make it more difficult to produce a summary workbook?

2. The individual is required to record a patients individual drugs on separate lines but they need to record a unique identifier, age, *** and month worked. Do they need to record all this for each line of drug or is there an easier way?

3. How should the summary sheet be produced - pivot table or sheet with formulas linked to the individuals workbooks?

Protecting Cells So That Password Is Required Only To Insert Comment

Dec 3, 2013

I've found many resources that tell me how to allow for the insertion/editing of comments within a protected worksheet. When I protect the worksheet, I can select "Edit objects" to allow anyone to insert comments.

However, my issue is that I'd like the Insert/Edit comment functionality to require a password, and this happens to be the opposite of what those resources instruct. I also want the content in those same cells to be editable by anyone.

I really appreciate help from the excel gurus and expert here on my little problem. I'm rarely using excel and have a very little knowledge on VBA programming.In short, I've been requested to develop a shift schedule for my department that can automate the shift staff schedule on the monthly basis.

I've created two worksheet of which the first worksheet is represent as master data list (INPUT Worksheet) that contain with formulas. While the other worksheet is the automated shift data (REPORT Worksheet) that linked from the master data list (INPUT Worksheet).

As you can see,I wanted to copy comments from the input worksheets (on DUTY column) so that it will then automatically appears or updated in the shift schedule. Whenever the dropdown selection change, the data will change accordingly. On the REPORT worksheet, each cells, range D14:AH38 are referring to DUTY column month by month. I'm able to link it but it fails to copy over the comments as well. I believe that macro can resolve this, can someone help me on this?

VBA: Comparing A Value To Several Different Cells

Jun 8, 2006

I need to compare a value to several cells and print the value into a new cell if and only if the value is not in any of the cells I am comparing to.

Say cells A1, A4, A8 and A12 contains different numbers. I want to compare a value, say 120, to the values of the above cells and if it is not contained in one of those cells I want to enter 120 into cell A16. If A1, A4, A8 or A12 contains the value 120 I want to leave A16 blank or write 0 to it.

Is there an easy way of doing this? Right now I am using a if-test for each of the cells I am comparing to, but this gets very messy as the number of cells increases.

Comparing Two Cells With Another

Mar 16, 2007

how to compare two cells (say, today's date with the date an order was supposed to be sent out), with a third cell that either has a tick in it, or nothing. If there's an easier way to do this other than VB code, I haven't found it. I tried conditonal formatting but it wouldn't let me have a condition in which it just checked the third cell, it needed to compare it with the selected one.

Insert Comment Using VBA By Finding Data

Feb 3, 2014

The list of data is shown in sheet1

In sheet2 I have shown the data that is copied

I have manually shown comments on 2 cells in sheet2 that shows detailed description on how was the total taken.

I need the comment on all the cells from D8 to G11 (not taking the total column) that shows on how was the total taken.
When any entry in sheet1 is inserted or deleted the comment in sheet2 should change accordingly.

I also do not want to freeze the cells D8:G11 as when new entries are made or deleted the columns would increase or decrease.

All blank cells I do not need any comment.

Auto Generate A Comment Box Based On A Cell Value That Has Variable Reference Cells

Jan 30, 2010

I have been given the following code and it works great. I now need to adapt it to the following scenario: In the attached sheet, the user has to select either, "Suburban" or "Squad" in row 5. If the user selects, "Suburban" I need this script to compare the values they enter in a given row to the value in column "B".
If the user selects, "Squad" I need this script to compare the values they enter in a given row to the value in column "C".

Look at row 48, for example. If the user enters, "Suburban" in cell D5 then the value they enter in cell D48 should equal "1". If it does not equal "1" then it should proceed with the adding of a comment. Conversely, if the user enters, "Squad" in cell D5 then the value the enter in cell D48 should equal "2". If it does not equal "2" then it should proceed with the adding of a comment.

column A - duplicates and/or length should not be over 100 characters
column B - duplicates
column F - should only contain 2 comma's(or 3 keywords)
all columns - check if no entries are found(empty cells)
