Create Unique List In Shortest Time..

Jun 17, 2009

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?

Create Unique List Each Time Worksheet Is Activated

Jan 13, 2008

I am getting a run time error 1004 during a copy-paste of a named range. I've read other posts and the help file and know it's related to defining an object, but I'm not clear on exactly what hasn't been defined.

Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()

Dim lCell As Range
Set lCell = Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("C65536").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0) ' find first blank cell in the column

With Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("AllDates") 'filter duplicate dates
. AdvancedFilter Action:=xlFilterCopy, CopyToRange:=Range( _
"E7"), Unique:=True
End With

Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("Dates_Filtered").Copy Destination:=Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("lCell") ' fails on this line
Range("Dates_Filtered").Clear

End Sub

Create Unique List From Matrix & List Frequency Of Each Occurrence

May 23, 2009

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.

Create Unique List

Jun 20, 2008

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?

In column A I have values starting at row 4, ranging up to row 1004.

in coulumn Q (starting at row 3) I'd like a list of unique entries from column A

I know this line is my problem

Sub FilterSymbol()
Dim I As Integer
Dim X As Integer
X = Range("O2")
I = 4

I = I + 1
Else: I = I + 1
End If
Loop Until I >= X

Create Unique List Of Values Across 5 Sheets

Oct 13, 2011

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)

Create Unique List & Summarize All Associated Values

Jan 30, 2009

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.

Create Unique List From Column With A Condition

Jun 3, 2007

I have a test sheet thus :

+ABCDEFG
1Bob11234
2Sally2
3Ann3
4Emily4
5Lexi3
6Bill2
7Josh1
8Jacob2
9Mary3
10Gary4
11

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.

Create Unique List From Column With Duplicates

Feb 27, 2008

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

End With
End With

Importing Values From Sheets To Create Unique List

Jun 2, 2009

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.

Create List Of Unique Entries Based On Several Columns

Jul 27, 2013

[URL] ......

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.

Create Unique Values List While Overwriting Old Data?

Jan 24, 2012

I will copy a report into sheet 1, starting in the same place(A1), on a weekly basis. The headers are: Item, Quantity & Price

Week 1's report shows the following:
Windows 5 $1.00
Doors 6 $1.50
Chairs 7 $2.00

Week 2's report shows the following:
Windows 3 $1.00 (change in quantity)
Tables 7 $5.00 (new item)
Chairs 7 $2.50 (change in price)

I need to have a rolling, unique list on Sheet 2 that will do the following:

- add new line items

- keep old line items while checking to see if the quantity or price has changed.

Therefore, after week 2's report is pasted on sheet 1, Sheet 2 should look like this:

Windows 3 $1.00
Doors 6 $1.50
Chairs 7 $2.50
Tables 7 $5.00

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!

Macro To Create Unique Rolling Data List

Feb 4, 2012

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

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?

Excel 2010 :: Limitation On Formula To Create List Of Unique Items

Jan 21, 2014

Excel 2010. There is a limit to the usability of the

=INDEX($A$1:$A$1000,MATCH(0,COUNTIF($A$1:$A$1000,"<"&$A$1:$A$1000),0))

method. It seems like the limitation is in the Countif function going over 1000 (or some other size limit)

I have a list of ~1500 rows, of that there are approximately 55 unique items. Doing the unique array works correctly up until item ~40, upon which it fails by returning the 1st item only (for the rest).

Trying to debug, and pulling out the Match section, it functions up until 976 (that is

MATCH(0,COUNTIF($N$1:$N40,$C$3:$C$1500),0)

returns 976) anything after returns just 1 (1st item).

It seems to be a limitation on the text string size that COUNTIF can handle.

Create A List Of Unique Names From A List Of Multiple Names

Oct 21, 2009

I have a database output file where one of the columns contains managers names, often more than once. I want to apply an autofilter on manager name and then copy the result to another sheet or sheets. My criteria for the autofilter is a variable pointing to a list of names that at present I maintain by hand; a for-each-next loop then cycles through the names.

What I would like to do, before running the autofilter code, is to create the list of names via code. This would then automatically pickup names that are missing.

The code I have so far is below:

Public Sub find_managers()
Dim managers1 As Range
Dim names1 As Range
Dim n1 As Variant
Dim n2 As Variant

In my mind it should check the names in the unique list against the imported list and add any missing names.

Shortest Path Between Cells (VBA)
