Creating List From Large Set Of Data?
Dec 3, 2013
I have a large list of in rows with multiple column headings: ie. Name, date, amount. I need to generate a separate list whereby the rows that correspond to a given criteria are extracted and listed sequentially.
I have attached a simple example to demonsrate what i mean.
in the attached spreadsheet, i have a column of colours, and a column of objects- RED book, BLUE hat, etc.
I'd like the criteria that i type in the green cell (a choice of colour), to generate a list of all the items that match that colour, and be displayed in the orange cells. So, if the green cell says BLUE, the list should pick out the BLUE dog, BLUE hat etc.

We collect loan payments for 36 months from customers.
Column A lists 1000+ customers.
Column J lists the date we received payment 1 ... Column Q lists the amount we received on payment 1.
Column R lists the date we received payment 2 ... Column Y lists the amount we received on payment 2.
Column Z lists the date we received payment 3 ... Column AG lists the amount we received on payment 3.
This repeats for all 36 payments.
New customers are loaded in each month, so be aware that Column J, Column R, Column Z (and so on) have dates from 2011 and 2012 and 2013.
We'd like to create a list of all customers that have not made a payment for the current month as of a certain day (say the 12th). So this month, on January 12th, we'd like to search our data for all customers that don't have a payment listed between January 1st - January 12th.

I am creating a spread sheet with a large amount of data.
In column a I have a list of managers, in B I have a list of employees and C, I have a list of activities that have been recorded throughout the day.
What I want to do is create a list (on a new sheet) so in column A that would bring back all the managers. Then in column B, bring back the employee that is tied to the manager from column A and finally in column C, bring back the activity that is tied to the employee.
I know how I can do this by doing list validation with INDIRECT, but with the large amount of data that I have this would take forever in a day.
Is there an easier and quicker way to do this?

I have a list of IDs that recurs over a time period. It consists of a Start Data an ID Number. These IDs recur over and over again through one month with different start dates.
See Below:
Date ID
12/1/2013 10:00:00 AM 67890
12/6/2013 12:00:30 PM 67890
12/18/2013 06:30:05 AM 67890
From Another List I'd like to pull a max enddate that is within 24 hrs of the start date. There will be multiple end dates. Here is what the other list would look like.
End Date ID
12/1/2013 1:00:30PM 67890
12/6/2013 4:00:45PM 67890
12/18/2013 9:30:00 AM 67890
Seems like using vlookup with the ID as the lookup wouldnt work because it would just pull the first date it found over and over again.

I have a large list of data in sheet1. The relevant columns contain a unique identifier (column 'N') and a value of either "True" or "False" in column O. Because I don't want users to have to trawl through hundreds of lines looking for the 'False' entries, I have a macro that copies only those records to Sheet3. In this sheet the user can set the 'False' value to 'true' but I don't know how to return the new value to Sheet2 (possibly for multiple records).

I'm creating a spreadsheet to keep track of my costs of production in an online game. Within the game there are a range of spawned resources that appear for only a short time before being unobtainable these resources have specific types that is shared between multiple spawns of the resource but each resource spawn has a unique name.
My first worksheet lists all the resources and their various qualities and the later worksheets are meant to allow me to choose from a list resources matching the requirements of the item I'm looking to craft. The example i have shown in the second picture requires Tatooinian Fiberplast and Lokian Wild Wheat to craft so in the Chosen Resource column I would like to have a drop down list allowing me to select the named resource type i would like to use - for Tatooinian Fiberplast the only thing on the list should be Omnitwixi and for the Wild Wheat it should show Fizi and Krad

I am facing problem in finding the second large value while my list is having duplicate data.
For Example
my numbers are:-
12,65,45,12,87,90,65,87
if I want to find out the top four value by using the formula:-
=large(A1:A8,{1;2;3;4})
the result is coming like: - 90,87,87,65
instead of this I want the result as: - 90,87,65,45.

(Excel for Mac 2011). The size of my data means am crashing by usual methods of sorting - I need a formula for this rather than pivot tables.
I have a list of c. 40,000 rows. Col A is client name (largely different but some duplicates); Col B is Policy type (eg Home, Motor, Travel) and Col C is earnings on that policy (eg -60). An example would be:
Name
Policy Type
Earnings
Johnson
Home
[Code]...
So I need to figure out (via a formula) two things:
1) How to count duplicate names (eg appearing 3x = 1 customer; appearing 2x = 2 customers; appearing 1x = 1 customer)
2) How to build a simple table to show the relationship between policies. This would have Motor, Home, Travel, Motorcycle as columns and also as rows - the data would then be how many policies and in each cross point?
I have tried just working the data using Countifs etc, but as soon as I apply it to the whole data set the machine freezes, presumably due to its size

I need to create a dynamic list from a table of data.
I have performance data for 110 different pumps. Data points are generated every hour, and the table is updated with new data periodically. I want to automate the population of a list of 6 different pumps, and specify the date range populated. To put it another way: I want to place data from Pumps 1 through 6 for all of November into Columns A through F. Then I want to clear that data, and show data for Pumps 105-110 for last week in those same Columns.
One of the main goals of doing this -- other than quickly narrowing a field of data -- is being able to quickly chart this data on a scatter plot with a custom format. The pumps are grouped together by region, and individual pumps have specific purposes. So I need to quickly generate graphs with a series' color scheme or formatting that is consistent and logical between different pumping regions.
I haven't been able to make pivot table work because of the graphing issue, and also because of the way it handles data points and presents data. I would like to make this work with excel functions and maybe some filtering, but I'm not opposed to figuring out a VB script if you think that's what I should use.

I am trying to set the below table up as a validation list. I am having issues with putting it in as list as it creates a new line every time a “,” (comma) occurs. I know I can use the custom and pull the list from a table, but I can’t use this option (the reason I can’t use the table, if interested, is because the single sheet with the validation contains about ~35,000 line items that are being split up into ~200 different sheets. Each sheet is then sent as a separate email…the problem with using the table is that it would on a different spreadsheet to begin with. The email only sends one sheet. As such, it would no longer be able to reference the table).
A - Less than $25,000
B - Between $25,000 and $49,999
C - Between $50,000 and $99,999
D - Between $100,000 and $249,999
E - Between $250,000 and $499,999
F - Between $500,000 and $999,999
G - Over $1,000,000

I'm trying to create a worksheet register. Insofar, with the help of this forum, I have been able to put together a code that creates a list of hyperlinks to all current worksheets
Sheets("Register").Select
Dim wks As Worksheet
Dim rngLinkCell As Range
Dim strSubAddress As String, strDisplayText As String
Worksheets("Register").Range("A3:A600").ClearContents
For Each wks In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
Set rngLinkCell = Worksheets("Register").Range("A600").End(xlUp)
If rngLinkCell <> "" Then Set rngLinkCell = rngLinkCell.Offset(1, 0)
strSubAddress = "'" & wks.Name & "'!A1"
strDisplayText = "" & wks.Name
Worksheets("Register").Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=rngLinkCell, Address:="",
SubAddress:=strSubAddress, TextToDisplay:=strDisplayText
Next wks
In additon to this I would like an addition to the code to pick up data from a cell (G10) within all the worksheets and place it in Coloum B (starting from B3) of the register. And clear the coloum firstly to make way for any updates. I tried doing this myself by modifying a recorded macro but the data would just write to one cell over and over again

I have a table that can at any point have from a couple hundred up to a couple thousand rows. Within this table lies a column entitled " Offer ". I want to plot the figures in the offer column as a frequency distribution chart.
I plan to do this by listing the x-values (Offer figures), and then using count if formulas to calculate the frequency of that x-value. Then using a simple clustsered column chart to create the visualisation of the frequency distribution.
My question is.... in my large data set, is there any way to get VBA to insert a list of the range of figures in the Offer Column, ? I can figure out how to copy down the countif formula to populate the corresponding frequency column, but how can I have some VBA to dynamically adjust my x-values (offer figures)?
For example... say in the first data set I have
Offer, Frequency
1 10
2 20
3 25
4 20
5 15
that's fine if I make the chart, but what if the data set changes, I want VBA to give me a list of all the offer values, and then I can write some code to insert and copy down along the frequency column the countif formula.
The ultimate goal is to have a frequency chart that will be synced to the self-updating dataset.

I want to put a drop down list in Cell D3 with the list of names from column B. There are 14 different names, but when i try and create the list it gives everyname from Column B.
Also once the drop down list works i would like the table to be populated with the managers supplier, so if Dan was chosen in D5, Suppliers 1 to 9 would appear below D3.

I am trying to create a list of residents, unit types, and unit numbers. I have 3 problems with the following code.
1) The code ignores sheets that have no value in the specified cell. I need it to return a blank cell for those in order to keep the data in each column matched with the sheet it came from.
2) The code includes data from hidden sheets. I only want to list data from unhidden sheets. And more specifically, I want to omit data from unhidden sheets that have their tab colored black.
3) The code includes data from the sheet named "Totals" which I thought I was telling it to ignore.

We use excel for scheduling purposes and each and every day we fill out a floor chart with who is working that day. As it stands now we have to print out a template and hand write all names or type them in and print it out. What I would like to try and do is define each set of names and allow for easy access to auto fill these names. I feel it needs to be a simple process as not all of our managers experienced in excel or formulas. What I would like to try an accomplish is in sheet 1 cell A1 to be able to create a drop list or formula that that would let me return all the names for a given day.
For the purposes of this discussion we can just define each list as the day that is the header ( IE A2:A4 on sheet 2 would be defined as "monday". Also, I already have the names autofilled based off of what the our schedule has. I'm curious if I could create a drop down list with each day of the week as an option, and if they select Tuesday it will then return all the names defined as Tuesday in a column below.And the next day be able to return Wednesday names and so on.
I'm not stuck on it being a drop down list. Maybe if they could just type and =(defined name) in the box above and it would return all the names.
I have tried an =(defined name) and it does return the value but only for the first cell and it has to be in the same row for it to return the name. Which doesn't work because I would like the names that are being defined on a separate sheet.

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.

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.

If I have a table as noted below with the following assumptions:
- this table will likely grow
- the 'Include' column data will change based on external criteria/formulas, so the 'Include' column will not be sorted.
- Macros aren't an option as this sheet needs to be macro free.
A
B
C
1
Item
Calories
Include
[Code]...
How do I build a formula that I can place in a data validation drop down to only include 'Item's that have Yes indicated in the 'Include' column?
I've been researching this and found answers if the 'Include' column was sorted via offset, but I haven't found any to sift through when unsorted. I feel like there is a simple answer to this that I am missing. Here is the sheet --> ExampleSheet.xlsx

I have a very large numbered list in MS Word, in the following style:
1. Animals
1.1 Mammals
1.1.1 Dogs
1.1.1.1 Beagles
1.1.1.2 Pugs
1.1.2 Cats
1.1.3 Elephants
1.2 Fish
1.2.1 Cod
...and so on.
I am trying to bring this data into Excel (2007) but in a way so that:
"Animals" goes into column A.
"Mammals" and "Fish" go into column B (in their own cells, in different rows).
"Dogs" and "Cats" go into column C.
"Beagles" and "Pugs" go into column D...
and so on.
The idea is to have each line in a different row, but have the columns serve more or less the same function that the tab indents do when looking at it in Word. (I'm trying to create a "breadcrumbs" style list for each line item). I've tried using tabs as a delimiter for importing text into word, but it doesn't seem to recognize Word's tabs when applied through a numbered list.

I am trying to do is create a list from a large table (see attached). I have 2 columns (A and B) listing 'Asset' and 'Area' and then 2 rows (1 and 2) listing 'type of task' and 'task'. This forms a table with entries in the cells (from C3 onwards) denoting frequency of each task at each location, i.e. daily, monthly, 6 monthly and annual. This gives me quite a large table which is quite confusing. Can I create a formula to sort all the daily activities which will give me a list of the 4 corresponding properties 'country', 'location' (in columns A and B) and 'type of task', 'task' (in Rows 1 and 2)? Then do the same for the different frequencies populated in the table, 'monthly', '6 monthly' and 'annual' ???

1. I don't know how to make the function search until it can't find the keyword anymore, then move on to the next word
2. I can't get it to select what it finds it finds the cell but I don't know how to select that cell once its found.

I have sales data in columns, the right most column has values in it.
If I filter the data using the standard Filter, I can add only filtered records by using SUBTOTAL(9, filtered_list) and this gives me the answer.
How can I find the 2nd largest or second smallest ONLY from the filtered data without using a Pivot table?

I use excel and would like to know how to copy a large volume of address data but at the same time filtering out irrelevant data placed under each other in a row, in this case, air compressors air conditioning web address etc ( see below for example). I need the first 5 lines only. The rows of unwanted data are irregular i.e some have 10 lines, others 5 , and others 2 or one line which makes using a formula difficult as there is no consistency. The data eventually need to be placed horizontally in columns to be compared to other address lists. To make matters worse, the text data has been merged and wrapped.
