I'm trying to compare two columns of names that are different lengths. I need a formula that will return the differences. I've tried everything my nonanyltical mind can think of

Assume there's an even number of rows containing textual data.
COL A
text1
text2
text3
text4
I would like to compare the lengths of text1 to text2, and return the row containing the greater of the two/delete the row containing the shorter of the
two. In either case, the contents below would then have to be shifted up by one. Then repeat for the next 2 rows all the way down to the last row using VBA.
I have three columns, one column is time every two seconds with data associated that time, and one is time every minute with an associated tidal height.
I want to sort my data so that for every 2 seconds I have an associated tidal height for that minute.
eg:
what I have:
Time Time Tidal Height
(2 sec intervals) (min) (meters)
1:15:00 1:15 1.342
1:15:02 1:16 1.221
1:15:04 1:17 1.115
...
1:15:58 1:43 0.024
1:15:60 1:44 0.012
1:16:00 1:45 0.008 ....................
Say I am downloading a column of stock prices and it cannot be predicted precisely how many rows will be contained in each downloaded column.
The column is, however, always Column E.
Two formulas must be computed.
1) Last row with a price in column E / average (all rows, beginning with row 2 with prices in column E)
2) Last row with a price in column E / average (last 50 rows with prices in column E)
Can Excel manage the variable number of rows required for these formula, and if so, can somebody recommend how to write these formulae?
I am half way through writing a bigger macro, but am stuck at this stage.
I need to copy from a block of data as shown:
However, this column varies in length each time, and I only want to copy down to where the entries stop.
I also only want to copy W1:X6, and columns Y, AA, AB, AD (but only down to the end of the column)
I've tried using the End(xlDown)).Copy function, but obviously this doesn't work with the block up the top and the gap between the block and the columns
I export data from another programme into excel and I wish to write a macro to copy the contents of columns G, H, I and J and paste it into columns A, B, C, D but starting at row 4. I then carry out various formatting tasks. I have written a macro that works for the copy and paste and the formatting but it only works when the data is the same length. The length of the data exported varies each time and so I am looking for some code that stops at a blank cell and copies the range above. I believe this uses xlup or xldown.

My boss has given me a spreadsheet to put together for him, unfortunately i am not really an expert on Excel and i am at a loss as to how to do this.
This is what he wants:-
Column A : Policy Surname
Column B: Policy Forname
Column C: D.OB
Column F : Policy Surname
Column G; Policy Forename
Column H: D.OB
He wants to be able to cross check all the names in A with the names in F, and if any matches then also compare Column B with Column G. Again, if any matches then finally check Column C with Column H and pull the results
I would be extremely grateful if someone had an idea on this and could possibly give me a formula that could do this, or am i asking too much from Excel?
I am constantly given the task of comparing to list of names that come from different sources. One source(SourceA) provides the names in a two Cols as first name and last name. Luckily Source A usually just has first and last name list but sometimes they have a third name or middle initial included and it could be in the first Col or the second no real pattern. The second source(SourceB) provides their list as a single Col and it has every given name for the person including suffixes and prefixes. A couple of examples of Source B names would be-"John Henry David" or "Dr. Billy Bob Adams Barone Beard IV".
I have spent countless hours and days probably weeks on some list as there are anywhere between 20-50,000 names per list I am sent. I am hoping there is a better solution to compare these names. As of right now the only thing I can do right now is manually trim the data from SourceB down to a format like "John David" and "Billy Beard" and then combining the Cols from Source A into the same format and then comparing them.
I have two different lists of names. One is about 3000 names long and the other has about 3500 names. I want to identify the 500 people that are not in the first list that are in the second. If there anyway to do this? I was going to put them in A-Z order and then go through and using an IF(A=B,"yes","no") and go through and insert new cell when ever it says no till it says yes BUT the functions start messing up when I insert a new row and it's taking way too long.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a list of over 2000 names and need to establish which names from column A appear in Column B, as well as which do not appear in column B.
I attach an example : NameCheck.xlsx
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?
1) if Column M has the value "School" then corresponding value in column N should have oly "Bus","Subject","Teacher". if values in Column B other than "Bus","Subject","Teacher" then the cell should populate RED Color.
2) if Column M has the value "College" then corresponding value in column N should have oly "Box","Madam","World". if values in Column B other than "Box","Madam","World" then the cell should populate RED Color.
I have a table with many columns of data on sheet1
Is it possible to have sheet2 have ... oh I dont know... say 5 columns. In which I can choose the headers that correspond to the headers in sheet1. Therefore comparing the columns that I want simply by changing the header?
What I'm attempting to do is analyze data on spread sheet. I've attached an example. what I need to do is compare columns "E" and "I". But I have numerous means of comparing the data. I think I will need three different formulas which is okay and am unsure if VBA is better. For example: I compare "E2" and "I2"...ect:
1) I would need to compare complete cell
2) I would need to compare the first three digits
3) I would need to compare the middle digits
If you towards the end you can see that some will compare to a BLANK cell if column "E" is ever blank. I first tried using countif but couldn't get it done. I only need totals that do not match in this category.i.e. 25 of 140 do not match.
I have currently browsed the forums and have came up with a code to compare two columns from two separate excel books and then highlight anything matching with the CompareRange. Here is a few more details about the problem:
- I have two excel sheets. And data like this in each sheet:
(First Sheet) (Second Sheet)
-A B N O
-7 .7 3 .56
-6 .6 8 .45
-5 .5 9 .55
-4 .4 11 .2
-3 .3 8 .22
-2 .2 9 .55
-1 .1 8 .54
As you can see, given this example nothing should be highlighted once the macro is run since nothing from Column A or B from the first sheet matches directly with Column N & O from the second sheet. The problem is that with the macro (module) I have come up with will highlight "3" from Column A and ".2" from Column B, just because they appear in Column N & Column O respectivally. What I want: I only want a number to be highlighted if both the numbers "7" & ".7" are matched in the same row of Column N & Column O on the other spreadsheet. To be a little more precise, I'll give an example. Say I edited the data to be like this.
(First Sheet) (Second Sheet)
A B N O
7 .7 3 .56
8 .45 8 .45
5 .5 9 .55
11 .4 11 .2
3 .3 8 .22
2 .2 9 .55
1 .1 8 .54
With this data, I would want the second row of A & B ("8" & ".45") highlighted, while my error "3" of Column A and ".2" of Column B is not highlighted. Also, I would like it if row 4 of Column A & B ("11" & ".4") is not highlighted at all either, just because in O it is .2 and in B it would be .4 even though the 11's match. Attached is the macro/module I have entered in which is working kind of correctly but producing the mistake. And also, (kind of a lesser problem), both the files with data will have the same header, example would be if Column A & Column N both had "Dogs" as it's title in Row 1 and Column B & O both had "Cats" as it's title in Row 1. Is there anyway the macro can be adjusted so it compares those two columns between the two workbooks without me even having to select or assigning a range?
HTML Code:
Sub Find_Matches()
Dim Column1 As Range
Dim Column2 As Range
[Code]....
I have column A which contains a range of part numbers, and column B is an On Hand quantity of that part number.
Column C is just like column A, in that it contains the same part numbers but it has about 1,000 additional part numbers that are obsolete. Column D has the On Hand quantity for Column C.
Column A and B are old information as far as the On Hand quantities, where Column C and D are up to date On Hand. The problem is the old outdated part numbers in column C.
How do I make column A and column C match, but not lose their respective On Hand quantities? I know this sounds discombobulated, but basically I need column A's part numbers, with column D's on hand quantity.
I'm trying to compare addresses in a worksheet, column A and column C have the addresses in them, in column A there are 44063 rows and column C has 43751 rows , both columns should have the same number of rows in each column because they should have the same number of addresses in each column but they dont so what i need to find out is which addresses from column A arent in column C and which addresses in column C arent in Column A and have the result put in column D.

I need to compare data across two columns: the date a claim was filed (column T), and the date it was resolved (column AH).
On my summary worksheet, I'm displaying the claim details for each month. I need to show how many of the claims filed (T) in each month are resolved (AH) - and for this output I'm not concerned about when they were resolved. This lets us track if there's still money due to flow out of the coffers for old claims. For example, there were 5 claims filed in July, and 4 of them are resolved. I want my summary tab to return a value of "Completed" beside July when I enter the resolution date for that last one, and "Pending" until then.
All the fields I'm describing are formatted as dates - including the name of the month (eg, "July" is displayed because I've put a custom format of "MMMM" on 7/1/08).
I've been playing around with countif and sumproduct but can't quite figure this one out.
There are two columns A and B and values there in
A B

I need to compair 3 columns of text and return a value in a forth colum. example:
If cell D2, E2, & F2 all = “Failure” return “PASS” in cell I2
If cell D2, E2, & F2 all = “Pass” return “PASS” in cell I2
If any other combination exist return “Fail” in cell I2
I have data in column A which is the correct data. I also have data in other columns that I would like to compare to column A. If the data is the same, then it moves beside it, if not then it leaves a blank cell.

I'm trying to determine if one date meets the criteria to be considered 'on time'. I have two columns: estimated completion date and completion date. I want to compare the completion date to the estimated completion date and if completion date is <= completion date but is NOT = 1/1/2099 then I met my date. I've tried this several different ways and problem is I cannot make it work.
When estimated completion date is 1/1/2099 'on time' should be 'no'
When estimated completion date is not 1/1/2099 but is greater than completion date 'on time' should be 'no'
When completion date is <= estimated completion date and estimated completion date is not equal to 1/1/2099 'on time' should be 'yes'
And I have a null date to deal with also but if I can satisfy the first 3 criteria I can manipulate the null values manually.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have two columns A and B. I need a count of how many times a value in B is greater than the same row in A. I don't want to insert a new column (e.g. for if statements to add up).
Can I insert a countif at the top to do that? I tried various countif variations but could not find the right one. Additionally any other option that does not involve adding new columns/rows.
