Duplicates In Dropdown List From Data Validation?
Sep 11, 2013I have giant excel spreadsheet that I am trying to clean up. I want to make one of the columns (with around 3000 rows and may of them are the same) into a drop down list. However, when I try doing so from the data validation tab, I get duplicates, triplicates, etc. of the same item.

Jun 19, 2008I have a range (offset based) which may increase by rows or columns whenever necessary.
In that I have data table like this:
HUNONETWOTHREEFOURFIVESIX
100110021003100410051006100
200120022003200420052006200

400140024003400440054006400
500150025003500450055006500
In the above table I want to enter in another column or row, a number which is not available in the given table (i.e. no duplication is allowed). (This table may grow both column & row wise). If, duplication is there the message box should say that the value already exist. And, if possible, the existing value can be colored with any color, so that we can easily find out where it is.
1) how to name a offset table and
2) how to avoid duplicate value when entered? Is data validation is one solution?

Nested Data Validation: Figure A To Enforce Dual Data Validation On A Single Cell?
Aug 19, 2009I'm trying to figure a to enforce dual data validation on a single cell. That is, I need to restrict the user to entering only a decimal value, only if a particular other cell (say A2) is blank. To put it another way, if A2 is blank, the user can enter a decimal value, but if A2 is not blank, the user cannot enter anything. I can use Data Validation to enforce either the decimal restriction or the ISBLANK, but I'm not sure how to make them work together.

Pivot Table To Not Count Duplicates - But Show Duplicates When Click Into It
Aug 24, 2011In short, I would like a pivot table to only count unique values, but when I click into the pivot I would like to show all instances of that value. For example:
I have a table of data that I am creating a pivot table from. There are fields for Customer ID, Task Name, Age, and Notes. There will be multiple records for a single Customer ID each time it has new notes.
I would like to create a pivot table that has Task Name in the Row Labels, Age in the Column Labels, and count of Customer ID in the Values, so that, for example, I can see how many accounts have been in the Design task for 2 days. However, when I do this it counts each record, but I would like it to count each unique Customer ID. Also, when I click into the pivot, instead of pulling up one line per Customer ID, I would like it to pull up each instance of Customer IDs in that Task Name/Age combination (similar to doing a DISTINCT in SQL).
Count Duplicates And Duplicates With Suffix As One Instance
Mar 23, 2014I have a list of isometric drawing numbers ending with a [underscore]weld number e.g. 1692-SG-0040-04_05.
Some welds are repaired--in that scenario the amended weld number will be 1692-SG-0040-04_05R1, and even 1692-SG-0040-04_05R2 if repaired for a second time.
On occasion a weld may be cut out entirely and a new weld done. The weld number for that will be 6317-FG-1690-02_06C1.
And here's a wrinkle I've just verified...a cut weld may also be repaired so the weld number will look like 1698-SG-0077-01_04C1R1.
Is there a formula to count these as one weld:
1692-SG-0040-04_05
1692-SG-0040-04_05R1
1692-SG-0040-04_05R2
This as one weld:
6317-FG-1690-02_06
6317-FG-1690-02_06C1
6317-FG-1690-02_06C2
...and this as one weld:
1698-SG-0077-01_04
1698-SG-0077-01_04C1
1698-SG-0077-01_04C1R1
Excel 2010 :: How To Count Duplicates Of Duplicates
Jan 24, 2012I am having trouble creating a function to count duplicates of duplicates.
An example of the data table 1 is:
Product 1 2nd
Product 1 2nd
Product 1 New
Product 1 New
Product 1 Flt
Product 2 2nd
Product 2 New
Product 2 New
Product 2 Flt
Product 2 Flt
Product 3 2nd
Product 3 2nd
Product 3 2nd
Product 3 New
Product 3 Flt
I created a new table (table 2) and made a list of all the Products on table 1 and removed the duplicates. I now have 3 columns with titles New, 2nd and Flt as follows:
New 2nd Flt
Product 1 XX XX XX
Product 2 XX XX XX
Product 3 XX XX XX
I am trying to count the duplicates for each product (XX), but I can't seem to work it out. I've tried the MS help function, but unsure of the actual formula I need to be using.
I am using Windows 7 and MS Office 2010.

How To Use INDEX Formula In Conjunction With Data Validation To Output Data
Jan 9, 2014Essentially, I would like a user to be able to select a PUB from the Data Validation drop down in row 2 of the PUB RATES sheet so that the corresponding information in the DATA sheet autofills.
Currently, this works only for the first column under each PUB when selected and this fills across all 4 columns (rather than the respective information for each column filling).
Also, the Data Validation dropdown includes blanks which I would like to exclude.
I have used a Range Name for the Data Validation of each PUB so that these can be drawn from a separate sheet as I don't want all the DATA content on the same sheet as the PUB RATES content.
Load Rows Data On Selection Of Data Validation List
May 28, 2014I want to load the actual data exist in the rows by selection value from the data validation list.

On the second sheet, i made a data validation list of all the person names
Now my requirement is, when i select a person name from the list, load all the data from the 1st sheet to second sheet. Is this possible without VB code, because I want to share it on the Google sheet with my boss, where VB sheet is not supposed to work.
Removing Duplicates From A List Of Data

Rule For Removing Duplicates In Data?
Jun 10, 2014I'm trying to find out the rule for de-duplicating data. I am removing duplicates based on an identification number in a data set of about 6000 records, including the duplicates (some records appear about 4 times). Due to the nature of the data I'm working with, there are only a handful of records that are "true" duplicates, i.e. some of the records appear 4 times but there is a difference in terms of location, etc and some are true duplicates in that there is no difference.
I need to know how Excel removes duplicates - does it only keep the first line that it finds for that identification number? Also, is there a way that I could create a rule for it to keep the record with the highest rate for example?
Countif With 2 Columns Of Data And No Duplicates
Dec 26, 2012I would like to use the sumproduct or countif formula for a set of data. I have looked around the forum and have not found what I need so
Column A______Column B
West___________1
West___________2
West___________1
West___________2
South__________ 1
South__________2
South__________1
South__________2
I want to count column B for all "West" (column A) and I don't want duplicates. So it would count two unique characters for West and two unique characters for South. I want "west" and "south" separated.
Find Duplicates + Copy Data
Jan 3, 2010Let's imagine I have many informations about 'Domains' such as Emails, phones, etc. My lists are long and it happens very often that I have the same domain (row) many times. No way to remember each time if I already filled the informations for this specific domain before.
THat's why I want to know if there is a way that ALL the informaitons on the Row of : Domain A will automatically be copied to another row where it will find another Domain A
The Conditional formatting (highlight duplicates) do part of the job by telling me where are the duplicates, but i need the other infos to be copied.
Noting Duplicates And Identifying Data Within
Feb 9, 2010I have attached a sample sheet which deals with property sales data, in reference to a two-part question.
1. If the row has two, or more, rows share the same value in column 'E', it needs to be identified with a 'Y' in Column G. In looking through old threads, this seems possible, though I could not find and answer I could 'bend' to work. If this is possible, can the following be included?
2. If two or more rows share the same value in column 'E', list the identifiers (value in Column A) for the others in Column H, separated by commas "," or slashes (preferred) "/".
ie.
"00370600000700 'NICHOLLS JOHN W & CARLA R 11/27/2000 85000 '260647 W Y '00370600000800" and
"00370600000800 'NICHOLLS JOHN W & CARLA R 11/27/2000 85000 '260647 W Y '00370600000700" or
"'00370500000801 'FRAHM FREDERICK/ERIK/KRYSTYNA 06/17/2004 110000 '288904W Y '00370500000802/'00370500000803"
The sample sheet attached includes 26 rows of data with several 'doubles' and one 'triple' 'duplicates'.
Please note that in the 'real' file, it has slightly less than 200,000 rows and I have seen 'dupicates' up to 40 with the same value in Column 'E'

View 9 Replies View RelatedRemoving Duplicates From Long Row Of Data
Mar 12, 2014I have several fields in a row that contain names of files e.g. 123.xlsx. Some fields will contain file names that will be duplicates of each other and some will be blank entries (although the blank entries can be changed to a value such as 'n/a' or 'no' etc if required).
I require only the non duplicate values to appear in the final cell, each separated with ';'.
My data is in row 2 of a spreadsheet and in every other column (A,C,E,G,I,K,M...for 45 instances in total).
I have used the following formula to identify the unique values (example below for the first four cells):
=A2&IF(C2=A2,"",","&C2)&IF(OR(E2=A2,E2=C2),"",","&E2)&IF(OR(G2=A2,G2=C2,G2=E2),"",","&G2)
This works well and if there are several blank entries then I use a SUBSTITUTE function to change the multiple ',,,,' to a single ';'. So I only see the unique file names in the final cell, separated with ';'.
However, the above formula becomes longer and longer when each cell is added to it. I have over 40 cells that need to be added and I wondered if there was a better way of doing this?

Oct 27, 2009I am trying to learn the concepts, then apply them to a set of actual worksheets. I am trying to use named ranges from one worksheet in another worksheet. The named ranges need to expand. Although I can get the add data to a dummy worksheet to work within the same worksheet and I can even get a named range to work in the foreign sheet.
My problem is, when I can end up adding the additional data to the named range, it will only add one name. I have a number of named ranges that are referenced on various worksheets. The idea is, certain named ranges should be able to expand so I donft have to type them all in. (There could be hundreds of manufacturers or models.) I would also like them to be able to sort themselves after additional names are added to the named ranges. I would also like them to auto populate as well. I am using Excel 2003 SP3 (11.8307.8221). I have enclosed the file. Drop down lists (named ranges) are on the worksheet called DROP DOWN LISTS (LOCKED) **ITfS NOT CURRENTLY LOCKED**.
The data validation issues are on the worksheet called Rev7.0 Wood (Basic Sheet.) There are other instances to use these, but I hope to learn to do them myself on the other worksheets. Of particular interest is Column f.................

Consolidate 4 Columns Of Data Which May Include Duplicates?
Jun 18, 2014I have four columns of data (in column B) across 4 worksheets within the same workbook. The rows in this columns contain text. In some cases the text in various rows of each columns are identical, and in other cases they are unique. There is a percentage in column C for each text in column B.
What I'm trying to do is as follows:
Create a consolidated list of all four columns into a single column (say column A in a separate sheet). Therefore, each row in this consolidated column will have a unique text based value.
Have the percentage value for each unique text based entry in column B of the separate sheet. if the text based contents in the column A row is one of those that had the same entry in the original four columns, then the average of the percentages will appear in column B.
