Comparing Two Column For Matching Number But The Items Compared Also Contains Letters
May 2, 2006
I am trying to compare two colums. They both contain numbers mixed with letters. I am wanting to match only the numbers in both not the letters. Example:
column a = m454 column b = fsh454-1
m543 fst998-2
m998 fsm434-1
my match is m454 and fsh454-1, m998 and fst998-2. The items can be in any order in the column. The end result I want to indicate the match by putting an X by column a item that matches column b.

I am new in extracting data from excel .
There is a report that contains a various amount data, in one cell it describes the outcome in a summary format of how an issue was resolved.
Is it possible to search a cell of summary text that contains a set pattern with letters & numbers i.e."CL900962" then either place a "YES" or "NO" in another cell if found?
The pattern will always begin with letters "CL" followed by 6 digit number.

i want to sort a column in such a way that it starts with those cells having the highest number of letter. For example:
before:
AA
AAA
A
AAAAAA
AAAA
AAAAAAAAAAA
I want it to look like:
AAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAA
AAAA
AAA
AA
A
Ofcourse the real list doesnt contain only "A"s. It contains of words and sentences.
How can i sort columns A as mentioned? The order of column A with other columns should not be destroyed be the sorting process.

I have 3 departments, each with a value. I want to sort from lowest value to greatest (which I have done) but some departments won't have a value and therefore will have "n/a" in the place of the value. When sorting, "n/a" always comes out as the greatest value but I want "n/a" to be the lowest value - since it means there is no value.
Here is an example of the data:
Depts: Value:
580 15.75
558 19.01
538 n/a
Here is the code (sorting is being done on the value obviously, and the switching of the Depts to stay with the value is also done in the code)
Private Sub RankPerformance()
Dim bytValuesArrayCount As Byte
Dim A As Byte
Dim B As Byte
Dim vTemp As Variant 'must be type since value can be number or string ("n/a")
bytValuesArrayCount = UBound(ValuesArray)
The only way I know to do it is to sort using the above code, then do another type of sort if a value is not numeric then it is placed at the end...but I'm trying to make the code as efficient as possible

I have 2 columns i want to find out which items match in each column and put the matching value in column c. I have tried Vlookup and continue to get an N/A .. I tried countif and I get either an N/A or a value error. I have tried turning the cells into text but that is not working either..
column A has about 1700 rows and column B has about 4000
MOST CELLS ARE 6-7 VARIABLES.. satrting with either 01, 02, 03 with 4-5 letters following or have a 6 digit number or 6 letter value.

I have two Columns C and E that have dollar amounts in them. I want to compare each row in those columns and then total the number in column C that are higher that column E.
So basically C6>E6, C7<E7, C8=E8,C9>E9 should return the result of 2. There are two instances where the price in C is higher than the price in E.

I am trying to count the number of unique items in a single column (~5,000 rows of data). For example, I may have the following data
a1 = apples
a2 = pears
a3 = oranges
a4 = apples
a5 = apples
a6 = apples
a7 = pears
in this case number of uniques items is 3
Right now I am using a Pivot Table to figure out the number of unique items but I am sure there is an easier way to do this.

In Column A I have first names, In column B I have last Names, in column C I have id letters,
Column D another list of First Names And In Column E I have another list of Last Names
So what I need to do in F2 is Look at the name Last name in E2 (Lets say its Smith) then look down the Last names In Column B when you find a match look at the First name on the same row to see if the first 3 letters are the same as the first 3 letters in D2 if they are then put the id that's in cell C into F2 if not ""
I've been trying for hours but no luck, also if you do manage to do it can you tell me how you get it to look at the first 3 letters and how I could change that to 4?

I know how to use array formulae to create a unique list, i.e.{=INDEX($G$1:$G$760,SMALL(IF(ROW($G$1:$G$760)=MATCH($G$1:$G$760,$G$1:$G$760,0),ROW($G$1:$G$760)),ROW()))}
however this is giving all the unique items from column G and I only want the unique items that have a non-zero value in column H as well. This would be the sumif of all instances that would have to be zero. I've tried to crack it and I've tried to search for solutions but so far no joy.

I am looking to have the items in column K 1 through 16 listed from highest to lowest and at the same time post the corresponding number from column J 1 through 16.
So that it reads as follows:
04 - 18 - 06
02 - 17 - 06
08 - 10 - 03
Item 04 has 18 points and is listed in 6 columns etc.
How can I get Excel to do this?

I have attached a sample spreadsheet for reference.
What I am trying to do is eliminate column 'J' on the Distribution tab. I want to use column 'C' on the Totals tab to calculate the subtotal based on matching the products on the Distribution tab in column 'E' with the Products list on the Totals tab in column 'A'. Once the match is made, I need to multiply the associated price in column 'C' on the Totals tab and the associated quantity in column 'F' on the Distribution tab with the result going in column 'K' on the Distribution tab.
I tried
=VLOOKUP(E:E,Totals!$A:$A,3,TRUE)*F:F
and
=SUMPRODUCT(SUMIF(E3,Totals!A3,F3)*Totals!C3)
but neither works and I do not know what else to try.

I have a task that I thought would be quite simple but I can’t find a solution in any of the books I have or on this forum.
I receive a list of companies each day who owe money, in Worksheet1. The next day I receive an updated list in Worksheet2. Those companies who have now paid have been deleted from the list. I want to compare the two lists and highlight those companies in Worksheet1 who are no longer in Worksheet 2.
I’ve tried to do this by getting the values in the list in Worksheet2 to loop through the list in Worksheet1 but can’t make it happen.
I’d be really grateful if someone was able to help me with the code I need.

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.

We have one excel file for monitoring of action items generated by the management after the study. As since there were around 3000+ rows has been generated since in the beginning of 1990's till to-date. So I was thinking of instead of getting the result through filter manually, I want to create a formula that will count of how many has been closed this year and this month out of the total numbers of action items.
Is it possible to use the COUNTIF function formula to count the number of items in column A, and date of column B, and closed in column C.
In below, we can see that there were 4 items under Revalidation has been closed this month and the total number of closed this year is 6.

on one sheet we have a summary of the main list, which includes totals of money recieved, totals of all the different sources (ie, where they heard about us from), the totals of the frequencies they pay (ie, how many donate monthly, quarterly...) ... etc. on the next sheet we have the "main" list of donors, their IDs, amounts, frequency, source ...
the totals on the first sheet are updated manually, but i want to change that as there are a great number of errors.

Is there a VBA command to get the letters, instead of the numbers, of the column of a selected cell?
I have to letter a list whihc means setting up a loop using character codes.
I may have to go into double letters so I am working on how I would set up the loop for if and when it gets past 90 and starts on double letters. so far the highest is the letter "U"
of course the easiest would be to pick up a column value as a letter
NT values do not get a number
A_____ _____NT###
B_____1_______C####
C_____2_______RMK###
D____ _______NT####
i am guessing the loop might involve some arithmetic test between the count and the character set 65-90. or maybe a mod thing.

I am trying to use some vba match function code to return the column number of the matching date. The date will be stored in a date variable.
Every time I run this code I normally get a match error even though the date is in the worksheet and the variable matches that date.

getting correct formula and normally there are people much smarter then I in the
discussion group. What I have is a workbook with 4 worksheets and on on of the worksheets I have a layout like this. (sheet 1)
A B C
1 Name Origin Driver #
2 Mrs Soandso 125 anywhere
3 Mr. Someone 327 anywhere
Drver numbers are blank
On another worksheet(sheet 3) I have a list of subscriptions (I.e drivers
numbers already filled in) I have this set up as a list.
A B C
1 Name Origin Driver #
2 Mrs Soandso 125 anywhere 37
3 Mr. Someone 327 anywhere 39
What I am looking for is a way to pull the drivers numbers from sheet3 into sheet1. so basically in sheet 1 if a1 and b1 match the name + origin in sheet 3 it will pull the driver number from that row into c1 sheet1 . If nothing matches then it should leave it blank. The data in sheet 1 changes everyday for me as I get a manifest on who to deliver wheels on wheels to, my problem is while I know all the correct drivers go to what people, I can never have a day off as someone filling in for me has to go through 400 addresses and look each one up and put coresponding drivers number into it.

I think I've been at the Xmas sherry for far too long as I can't see the wood for the trees with the following code. It is supposed to find the position of the string_to_find within range_to_match.
I have checked and the address returned locally by range_to_match.address is correct. However the individual items (current_item) are coming back as blanks (as in the Msgbox) - rather than the members of the range.
I did try and do this via application.match but again got an error.
There is an option explicit at the very top of the module.
Code:
Public Function match_string(range_to_match As Range, string_to_find As String) As Long
Dim i As Long
Dim pos As Variant

I am trying to have an order form auto populate information, however I have run into a small problem when doing so. I am unable to use VBA because it is locked by whoever originally created the spreadsheet so I need a formula solution if possible. I would like for the worksheet "Order Form" to auto populate the type of printer cartridge when there is a 0 in the column "On Hand" on the "List" worksheet. I know a loop could do the trick but I was wondering if maybe a vlookup or if statements could get the job done. Here is a completed sample of what I would like to happen.

I'm working on a travel form, which allows people to enter a travel itinerary. From that, I want to be able to extract the cities where they are spending one or more nights - so that I can then do the calculations for accommodation allowances.
I am able to calculate the number of nights stay in each city where there is an overnight stop. But I'm stuck on how to extract every combination of City and Nights where Nights is greater than zero - there is no need to calculate for cities with no overnight stay.
I have attached an example spreadsheet.
Some notes:
- the itinerary and accommodation tables have to remain separate, as they hold more data than in the example,
- the itinerary table can't be sorted for number of nights. It has to be in chronological order for each segment!
Every lookup function I check out seems to demand a sorted table.

I have code that runs through multiple arrays trying to match data to items in the arrays and it takes a long time to run.
Code:
dim a as long
dim b as long
dim c as long
dim d as long
dim e as long
dim MyAarray as variant
[Code] ..........
That's basically what the code does. however, it takes an extremely long time to get through with everything as each array increases in size.

I need to count the total number of times 4 different values appear in a column. This formula works for one value:
=COUNTIFS(Source!$C:$C,$B5,Source!$J:$J,$L$3,Source!$L:$L,$H$1)
Where H1 contains the word Assigned. I need to also find and add to count for matches in I1,J1 and K1 which contain New, Pending and Work in Progress respectively.

I have two worksheets: A and B.
Worksheet A:Contains 2 columns: Issue# (Col. A) and Program (Col. B).
Issue# contains a list of multiple issues. There are several instances in which the issue# is repeated.
Any particular Issue# field may have several issues in it, delimited by a comma.
Program is a program associated with the issue and this column also contains duplicates.
Worksheet B:Contains 1 column: Issue# (Col. A)
This is a unique list of issues#'s.
All Im looking to do is parse all Issue#'s from Worksheet B and have some way of knowing if that issue# is anywhere in Worksheet A. Most importantly, I need the "indicator" to be displayed on Worksheet A. This way I can see what program(s) is/are associated with the matching issues.
A couple other notes:All Issue#'s in Worksheet B are referenced at least once in the Worksheet A Issue# list
There are several issues in Worksheet A which are not referenced in the issue list on worksheet B (of which I dont care about)
I really hope that makes sense, but if not...
Here's the best example I could come up with: ....
