Create 1 List Of Unique Values From 12 Columns Of Data
Apr 28, 2014
I have a spreadsheet of 12 columns (A to L), with a list of student names under each down to row 31. Each column represents an after-school club that the child can attend.
However, a child can sign up to multiple clubs, so their name can appear in several places across the spreadsheet.
What I would like to do is have a 13th column which is an overall list of students who have signed up to at least 1 club, i.e. their name appears at least once in columns A to L.
How do I achieve this so that only unique entries are listed and duplicates are removed in this 13th column?
Here's the most important part: There will be formulas in Column D in Sheet 2 that I need to stay with each item. generating the desired result on Sheet 2!
So far I created code that creates a Distinct Unique item's list for one column. It works as it should but I want to modify the code to create a Distinct Unique item's list for two columns that are related to another i.e. a person's name to their license #.
Here is the code below that works for one column only:
In that file, you can see there is a list of somewhat similar data across 5 columns. Some of the entries are duplicates, some are different by only one character. What I want to be able to do is generate a list of all the unique rows of data, taking into account the data from ALL 5 columns. The list can be on another sheet or simply just further down on the same sheet, that doesn't matter too much.
I could do it if it were just one column of data, but struggling trying to do it with several columns.
I am trying to create a macro that will create a unique list of the values in the same column across 5 worksheets, "Question1", "Question2", etc, and place the list in a new worksheet, "Summary".
The values are in column A in all of the worksheets, and the number of rows in each worksheet will change each day. I need the unique list to be added to the sixth worksheet, "Summary".
Also, after the list is created on the Summary worksheet, I need a count of each field by worksheet and a total. This is how I currently have the Summary set up:
Part Type|Total|Question1|Question2|Question3|Question4|Question5 Name|=SUM(C2:F2)|=COUNTIF(Question1!$A:$A,A2)| =COUNTIF(Question2!$A:$A,A2)|=COUNTIF(Question3!$A:$A,A2)| =COUNTIF(Question4!$A:$A,A2)|=COUNTIF(Question5!$A:$A,A2)
I have a list of sales events that ran at various venues, together with how many people attended and how much revenue was brought in by sales. This data is arranged by week. One venue will never have more than one event per week, but different venues may have sales events on the same week.
My table looks like:
In reality this list could be thousands of rows long.
“Event week” is the calendar week of the event. “Weeks open” shows for each event how many weeks that venue has been open (may or may not be useful!).
What I need to do is to be able to pick a number of weeks (preferably changeable by entering into a cell) and have a list produced of each venue that has run for at least that many weeks, and the sum of people and sales in those first X weeks. My idea of output, if the user input “2” as the number of weeks would therefore look something like:
Note that 1)only venues that have run at least 2 meetings are shown in the output 2)even if venue has run over 2 meetings, only people and sales figures from the first 2 are summed up and displayed.
In this case. Later on I need to produce a frequency chart/histogram grouping the results into categories, but I know how to do this as long as I can get to the step before – but wanted to mention it in case there are shortcuts.
Have been battling with this with pivots, database functions, array formulae etc. for a long time.
Attached is the spreadsheet with sample data. The red table is the part I am stuck on. The solution has to work in Excel 2003.
I have two lists of values in separate columns with condition in adjacent cells, all on the same sheet
List 1 consists of numbers from 1 to 12, column to the right is either blank or Free List 2 consists of numbers from 13 to 24, column to the right is either blank of Free
List 1 starts in A2, B2 is either blank or Free List 2 starts in D2, E2 is either blank or Free
In column G, from G2 i want it to list all values from List 1 and List 2 where their status is Free
I need to be able to pull information from 5 columns on 5 different pages, and pull all of the unique names out of it. From there, I need to create a list of all of these names. More often than not, this could only be three names, but I still would like this to be automatic because eventually it could be 50 or 60, and manually editing this list would get tedious. Lastly, is it possible to have a list create cells? For example: I have information on row 4, this one will start on row 6. My next group of information starts on row 14. That leaves 7 rows for information. I don't want to leave a large gap at the top of the page, so I'd like to be able to create cells if the list I'm trying to create has more information on it. Seems plausible in my mind, but I'm still new to excel.
I have some raw data of employment records on one workbook and from this i need to autopopulate there information into another workbook.
I need to split the records up by the different departments they work . I.e so what i am after if possible is -
If The department name in the raw data matches column A1 for example then it auto populates down in B2 all the names of people who work in that department .
See attached file with a smaller sample of the 1667 row table of data I am working with. What I am looking to do is make a list on another sheet of each every line with a county and have the corresponding Township and range with it. So if I have a cell and I select Audubon county, I would like a list to populate that has the 12 lines of Audubon county in column A, and the Township in column B and the Range in column C.
I need a UDF to make live easier. I have a huge excel file and I need a final function (I suppose a UDF) that lists all values from a range spanning over multiple columns and rows. I would not really like a macro, since it does not update when certain values are changed.
It's part of a bigger functionality, but I need this one, really bad, since it spans over 6000 rows as the search range, and 7000 as the search values. In short: I got to list all the unique values. They are in specific cells on worksheet 1 (A1:C5 and A25:C31) and should be listed on worksheet2 starting in field A2. As 'simple' as that. Nothing more, nothing less, just list all unique values of a certain range, which I specify. If it can not be done, by selecting the two fields separately, it's no problem at all to list all values in eg A1:C6000. Do note that some of the cells will be blank, and I don't need blanks. I only need the actual data sets. I added a sample excel file, that shows a representation of the data. I can not upload the actual file, since it's way too big (60 MB). So a sample file should give you the idea.
Three sheets: Data 1: some value lists multiple columns Data 2: some value lists, again multiple columns Desired result: the result as it should be listed. example.xls. zip
I need a Macro to create a unique, rolling data list. On Sheet 1, a report is pasted(from outside source) in cell A3(Rows 1 & 2 are headers) on a weekly basis. It is always the same amount of columns wide(138). The number of rows will always vary but will never be more than 500.
Here’s what I need for Sheet 2:
-Column A should be a copy from Column A on Sheet 1 (data is ITEMS) -Column B should be a copy from Column BH on Sheet 1 (data is QUANTITY of items) -Column C should be a copy from Column BI on Sheet 1 (data is PRICE of items)
Here’s the challenge (when the new report is pasted on Sheet 1):
-Sheet 1. Find new ITEMS not on Sheet 2 and paste them at the end of the report on Sheet 2 along with their QUANTITY and PRICE -Sheet 1. Find any ITEMS already on Sheet 2, then update new QUANTITY and PRICE from Sheet 1 onto Sheet 2 -Sheet 2. Leave ITEMS alone that are now missing from the new report on Sheet 1
I am trying to compare multiple column in a worksheet to find common component in all the columns and what is unique to a particular column only. And list the results/finding in adj column. What i am trying to accomplish is something as below.
In cell H5 there is list of dates and in H7 there is codex, based on these two conditions in H11 a data validation list should be populated from the code_sheet using column B. The populated list should be unique entries, as the column B in code_sheet has duplicates.
The External column contains data provided by an external vendor. The Internal column contains data compiled internally. The data in the Internal column will always contain data duplicate to the External column, but will also contain unique data not present in the External column. I would normally cut out the data contained in Internal column that is not duplicated in the External column, and paste it into the Differences column, and move the remaining cells in the Internal column up. The result would be the External column data and Internal column data would align by row, and the data unique to the Internal column is segregated to the Differences column, like so:
While not a difficult task for 8 rows of data, the actual daily report contains over 1000 rows, on average. I would like to set up a template workbook, where I can simply open the template workbook, paste the data into both the External and Internal columns, then have the values that are unique to the Internal column extracted from the Internal column and inserted into the Differences column.
The end product would be used daily, with differing amounts of data (from 100 rows to 10,000 rows).
I've searched the forum and believe this thread to be the closest to what im looking for, but its doesnt completely apply: matrix to list conversion. I have an attachment to support my questions (see attached). I have a matrix of words (strings) that contain repeating and non-repeating contents. The matrix also has spaces which are of no value. Essentially, the VBA needs to ' analyze' this matrix and create a consolidated frequency list (as shown in the file).
The matrices are HUGE and therefore some of the clumsy VBA i am using is turning out to be a bit inefficient. The file also contains formulas and such that I cannot use AutoFilter nor can I use Insert or Delete rows...so the VBA shouldnt use those either.
I have 6 worksheets in my file. In sheets 1-5, column A2:A26 list people's names. Some people's names appears on more than one sheet. Not all cells are populated with a value.
ex. SHEET1 COLUMNA Bill
[Code]....
My attempt was... =INDEX('Week1:Week5-!$A$2:$A$26,MATCH(0,COUNTIF($A$1:A1,"Week1:Week5"!$A$2:$A$26),0))
where the sheets were Week1-Week5 and the values on each sheet was A2:A26. But I think there's an issue with Excel being able to 3D reference for these types of functions.
Name --------- Jones, Bob Jones, Bob Jones, Bob Smith, Mike Smith, Mike Smith, Mike Calai, Dave Calai, Dave Calai, Dave Etc...
What I want to do is take the entire list and create a distinct list that I can use in a named range then use a validation list to have a drop down within a different tab.
I have a list of references and I need to pull from a database. The database contains more than one row with my reference, so I try doing something like this:
Sub () Range("B11").Select
Do Until IsEmpty(ActiveCell()) If ActiveCell = _ "7501" Or _ "7507" Or _ "7508" Or _ "7509" Or _ "7618" Then
But it does not work, besides I need to add more references. Could some one know a better way to do this?
I have a number of text columns, side by side in a worksheet, containing names. I wish to combine these columns into one new column, removing any duplicates, to create a single list of names. Is there a simple way to do this?
I have a list of project numbers that is over 7000 rows long [example attached]. Many numbers are repeated. This list comes out of a financial reporting system. I need to extract a list of unique numbers in numerical order. I have two solutions working, one with SUMPRODUCT formulas and one with MACRO. Here's the MACRO solution. But it takes about 20 seconds to execute. I am just looking to cut down on execution time. I am using this macro a few times on different lists in the same program. Is there a better [faster] way to do this?
Any way in ms excel to create unlimited unique validation list. i am working on a small data where one colums data(Validation list) changes on the selection of previous column data filed. i am using indirect function with defined name range. but ms-excel is not accepting new names now and still i have 75 datagrops left to define and validate.
is there any formula or vba code to fix this problem.
In D2:D11, I want a non-duplicate list of all the "1" names, i.e., Bob and Josh. In E2:E11, a list of all the "2" names (Sally, Bill & Jacob), and so on. Sorted would be nice, but not necessary. When new names and their numbers are added to A1:B200, they need to automatically show up in D2:G:201 as appropriate. I've looked over VLOOKUP, INDEX, MATCH, etc., but all seem to simply return the first and not every match. Maybe I'm just missing it.
Is this possible without VBA? Not that I have any objection to it, but delving into and learning it is a little outside the available time I have now. If it takes VBA I'll address it when I can free up some time.
In Excel I recorded a macro by carrying out some operations and then copied the code into VBA code window to the click event of a button expecting the code would operate well but in vain. What is wrong with my operations? By cliking command button placed on a userform I want to copy the date of one column to another and the data thus copied into another column should contain only unique value.
I want to end up with a list of unique items (nothing repeated) from a variable length list starting in cell B5. That unique list is then placed in cell D3.
I am using the code below (found on Ozgrid) which almost works. But it seems to be dependent on what’s in column A (which I wish to ignore) for it to work.
How can I modify the code so that the results are based on column B only?
Dim Rng As Range Dim fRng As Range Dim lRow As Long Dim Dest As Range
lRow = Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row Set Rng = Range("A5:B" & lRow) Set Dest = [D3]
With Rng . AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="1*" Set fRng = .Offset(1, 1).Resize(.Rows.Count - 1, 1).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible) With fRng .AdvancedFilter Action:=xlFilterCopy, CopyToRange:=Dest, Unique:=True
I have a table and say I would like to create a unique list from column2 and store the list in a spearate sheet. Give this unique list a name.
Use this unique list in a FOR EACH loop and apply autofilter to two tables on two different sheets. (one table is from which the unique list was created and other in a different sheet)
