Counting Duplicate Files And Comparing To List
Mar 22, 2013
I am trying to make a Macro that will search through a folder on my PC and look for file names with a string such as shown below:
The issue i am facing is that many of the files have duplicates.
I need it to check to see if the number of duplicates in Column E for each file name have the same amount of duplicate files in the actual folder... and if they don't I need the rows(s) highlighted Yellow.
Example: Say I run this macro.. and there are only 2 files in the folder that start with "BH1003".. as there is 3 instances in column E.. the 3 rows that have "BH1003" in them should all highlight..
I have added my code so far below also, but it only highlights each row Yellow if it finds an instance of the string in column E.. I don't know how to get it to count and compare....
Code:
Private Sub CommandButton3_Click()
'Search Folder for files - Highlight Yellow if Exists - Highlight Red if NOT Exists.
Dim r As Long, lastRow As Long
With ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet
'get last row
[Code]...

Any easy formula to compare two columens of fixed dates and count how many of each fall within a certain range of each other.
So, for example:
Col 1 Col 2
20/1/11 21/1/11
20/1/11 31/1/11
18/1/11 24/1/11
Lets say col one is a start date and col 2 is an end date. Now say I want to count the number of times the end date falls within8 days of the start
I would have thought that something as simple as
Code:
sumproduct(--(a1:a3<(b1:b3+8))
would work, but clearly I am making a fundamental error, and no matter what I try I'm getting stuck.

I want a macro which will remove the total records in "CHILD" sheet by comparing with "MASTER" sheet based on the condition that if the data from columns A, C and D are totally match between two sheets
e.g. see record 14 in "CHILD" sheet which should be removed as it is matching with 3rd row of master sheet.

I have a file with 2 worksheets:
The "On" worksheet represents ALL of the students that LIVE on campus (freshman, sop****re, juniors, seniors)
The "JS" worksheet represents all the juniors and seniors going to school here
I need to know which of the JS live OFF campus.
So.....I need a macro that will compare the JS worksheet to the On worksheet and create a new worksheet called Off and populate it with those JS that are not in the On worksheet.
The "On" worksheet contains:
A B
Last First
The "JS" worksheet contains:
A B C D E F G
Last First Street Street2 City State NY
The new "Off" worksheet should contain the same columns as "JS"

I have two text files with huge data in each which I need to compare for difference between each
for e.g.
file 1 would have following records
12345 KKKK 3510 ABCD
file 2 would have
12345 KKKK 3210 ABCD
file 2 would have similar records but 3510 would have difference. What i need is " if 12345 and ABCD is matching then what is the difference value of 3510 and 3210 ? the result should be 300 . This i need as an output in another text file.

I am looking for a macro to look in Sheet 1 column A and compare the values to Sheet 2 column O. When it finds a duplicate I want it to delete the entire row in sheet 1. I dont want to have to manually sort anything if that's possible.

I would like to be able to compare the "standards" in Column A with the Assessment status in Column B and the Assessment period in Column C in order to generate a compact list in another workbook (ideally) or tab (if not). A list might typically contain all the standards that have been M (mastered) during a given Assessment period. I realize that filters would achieve this to a large extent but I was hoping to automatically populate another worksheet or tab.

I have a 2 columns with lots of different text values some repeated. Again Colum B has a Yes/No anwer input, how can i count all these values in Colum A based on whether the Column B value equals yes.
Column A / Company Name_____________Column B / Reply
Company X ___________________________Yes
Company X ___________________________No
Company Y ___________________________Yes
Company Z ___________________________Yes
Company Z ___________________________Yes
What I want the formula to do is count all the Yes occurrences in column B and Only one distinct occurence of a Company
eg
From the above I want to see 3 as a result as opposed to 4 as they are two Yes entries for Company Z
I have been able to use the SUMPRODUCT function but dont have the knowledge to build upon this to take the second column value into consideration.

I use the following formula to count duplicate random numbers on Row 35 that occurred on Row 34:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(D35:I36<>""))-SUMPRODUCT((D35:I36<>"")/COUNTIF(D35:I36,D35:I36&""))
I would like to continue to compare against Row 34 and count duplicates on other rows (ex. Row 36 or Row 37) one row at a time.
In addition is it possible to visually identify the duplicates through conditional formatting (ex. Bold or color change) or other ways?

I am trying to determine wether there are duplicate entries within a range and have then counted also. Example:
I have a list if zip codes and I want to find out how many of each zip code are there. If I have a list with:
12345
12345
12345
12346
12346
12347
I want to have it tell me there are 3 of "12345" and 2 of "12346", possibly next to the entry?
12345 3
12345
12345
12346 2
12346
12347

I'm on Excel 2003 and have a sheet to track people who have read my emails. I want to know the answers to the questions below. I've included a fake sample to show what I'm looking at. The number of cells in each column is much higher and not the same per column. I've tried variations of MATCH, VLOOKUP, SUMPRODUCT, etc. but haven't found a good way to set up a formula.....

I have a Workbook with multiple sheets with Data in them. I would like to Count the number of duplicate values between the sheets.
For example.
Sheet one has a list of case references Person A is dealing with.
Sheet two has a another list of case references Person B is dealing with however the also have a list of case reference's they are monitoring as part of a project.
Sheet 3 has got the total number of case references each Person is dealing with, it also contain the total number of cases Person A&B together are dealing with. however i need to find the total number of cases Person B is monitoring that Person A also has so that the total number of cases is the true number of total cases with no duplicates involved.
(References begin with VB then have a string of numbers afterwards and I would like to know the total number of cases the Person B is monitoring as well so these need ot be calculated).

I've got a spreadsheet with 2 worksheets in it.
On the first one we've got:
Name of the agent | petition REf num | Task
Each petition can generate several tasks, one line per task.
John Doe | XXXX-YYYY | NCO
John Doe | | RIL
John Doe | XERT-WWWW | RMT
Jane Doe | QSZE-AQWC | RIL
On the second worksheet:
Complete list of agents | number of petitions | Status
John Doe | 2 | OK
Jane Doe | 1 | [BLANK]
I want to be able to fill in the second worksheet automatically. For each agent in my worksheet 2, I want to check if they appear in worksheet 1 and if so count the number of petitions related.
I don't know where to start

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 a list of authors for about 20 papers. These Papers are listed in sequential order from 1999 to 2005.
I want to track the number of similar authors from paper to paper. Thus I am attempting to create a macros that has the Papers listed sequentially when they were published and the authors for each paper, with the authors name in each cell. I want to create a macros that will compare the Author Cells associated to lets say the Fifth Paper with the Author Cells for the Fourth Paper (the Previous Paper). So that if certain authors come up in the Fifth Paper that were in the Fourth Paper, the # will be noted.
I also want this macros to compare all the Author Cells that have appeared in the past with that of the author cells of the (N) paper excluding the (N-1) Paper, and just note the # of occurences. So using the previous example. If we are talking about the Fifth Paper, it will look through Papers #1-#3 for any matching keywords and note the number.
I have attached my spreadsheet to make it more clearer. For some papers there are more than 20 authors as well just to note.

My problem is this: I'm looking to compare a single postal code (in the left most column below) against an entire list (rightmost column) and see if there are any matches. Normally this would be very easy, except that the postal code list I have (on the right) is all partials (it only includes the first 4 characters of the postal code). I need the formula to register a match if thewhole postal code I'm testing has the incomplete postal code I'm testing for in it at all.
So far I've tried using VLOOKUP, MATCH, and IF with no luck. I don't think wildcards work in these functions... (otherwise this would be quite easy!)
POSTAL CODE
LIST TO CHECK AGAINST
SM6 0PH
AB31
AB107JR
AB32

I've got a list in "column A" of around 6000 lines which contains key words which I want to extract to "Column b" if It matches but it can match on more than one word .
e.g
List
Six Nations Ireland v England
FA cup Semi Final Chelsea v Liverpool @ Old Trafford
Criteria Sample
Ireland
England
Chelsea
Liverpool
Ideally I would like to extract the first Town/Country as this is where the event is held unless the @ symbol is used then it's the last Toen/Country as in the FA cup example.

let's say there's a range of cells A3:C10. Some of the cells will have a number in them. I want to compare the numbers in that range to a fixed list of numbers, let's say 1-10. After comparing the numbers in the range with the numbers in the fixed list I want excel to list the numbers that don't match. In other words if the range contains 3,7,8,9, I would want to return 1,2,4,5,6,10 as the answer either in one cell or a group of cells. I know this can be done, just can't do it in an elegant way. I would have to use a lot of steps when I'm sure there's a few simple lines of code.

I have our company telephone accounts and im trying to highlight any numbers that are not on our approved dialling list. What I would like to happen (ideally) would be for a formula to look at the cell next to it and compare it with the approved numbers list, if it doesn’t appear on the list then it would do something to let me know, like put a big red X in the cell (if it could make me a cup of Tea instead that would be better).

I have an excel spreadsheet that is several thousand entries long. There are cases in which duplicate entries will spring up on that list.
What I want to do is come up with a formula that will find the first duplicate entry in that list and then display that entry in cell on another worksheet. If it was at all possible, I would also like to have the row that the duplicate entry is contained on display as well, in a different cell of course.
I do not want to highlight them using conditional formatting since I have used that to perform other tasks on that sheet and that wouldn't display the entries in a different cell for me, and I would prefer not to use a macro to perform this function it that was at all avoidable.
