I have a list of 109 dates in one worksheet (call it A) and in another worksheet I have a list of other dates (call it B). I need list B to compare itself to list A and find the closest date in list A and then subtract the difference between the two.
View 4 RepliesI need to compare dates from two workbooks. The dates are not entered in the same format. In order to compare them I store them in Date variables.
However, some dates entered do not have a standard date format (for example, day is missing) and I get an error when I try to store them in a Date variable.
The solution I thought out (most likely a bad one) was to temporarily re-dim the variable from Date to String when an error occured. The macro would then be able to store the incomplete date and do the comparison.
So, basically, the variable would be dim'ed once as a Date, then possibly dim'ed a second time as a String, and if this occurs, then it would be dim'ed back to a Date once the erroneous date would have been treated as a String.
My problem is that it doesn't appear to work if I use the dim statement because of "duplicate declaration in current scope". Is there a way to re-dim a variable as something else within the same macro?
I have two colums with 1000 rows for column 1 and 500 for column 2 that shows gps coordinates. I want to work out the distances between the gps coordinates but want the answer only if it is less than 30 kilometres.The formulae must do the following
a1-b1 and compare the answer to a1-(b2:b1000) and give me the smalles answer in column c.
I want the closest gps coordinate to A1. Even if i do vlookup first there might still be a closer gps coordinate in row 501 than just subtracting A1-B1
1. I need to find the average monthly meter reading say for the whole year...this is what I have, =(C2-B2)+(D2-C2)+(E2-D2)+(F2-E2)+(G2-F2)+(H2-G2)/6 is there an easy way to do this?
2. Also need to get the total monthly reading of all the machine, the formula I have is; =C2-B2+C3-B3+C4-B4+C5-B5+C6-B6
is there an IF formula to compare values in two columns, say Column A and Column B have "Action recommended" and column B has "Actual action taken", both columns should have the same texts, in cases where there is no similarity, the formula should count the cases.

I have a production schedule I make at the start of the week (list 1) and compare that to what I actually ran at the end of the week (list 2). I would like to produce the following from these two lists;
- a list (list 3) that shows all the orders I didn't run in my original schedule
- a way of summing the number of matches (of work order #s) in the two lists (list 1 and list 2)
- and way of extracting the corresponding machine hours I did / did not run from the two lists

I'm looking to compare a number of duplicate lists to an original. If a duplicate list contains 1 or more different values to the original, I want to return a value of 1. For example:
Original list
Value 1
Value 2
Value 3
Duplicate 1
Value 4
Value 2
Value 1
Count = 1
Duplicate 2
Value 1
Value 4
Value 5
Count = 1
I'd then like to sum the counts. Ideally this would all take place in the one formula, but I can split them into different cells if necessary. I can't use macros for this.

I may be creating a small Excel-based VBA application for a client on a semi-formal basis. I personally use Windows XP with Office XP installed, but I'm concerned about the possibility of serious differences between versions of Windows and Excel that may cause my code to fail on other machines.
I don't think I need to cater to any version of Excel BEFORE that in Office XP, but I probably do need to cater for versions after it. That's Office 2003, Office 2007 and Office for Vista,
I'm trying to do is take the difference of two wind directions but need the actual difference not the true mathematical difference. For example:
Wind direction 350 was forecasted
Wind direction 020 was observed
The difference is 030 degrees off not 330 degrees.
How do I do a formula to state the true difference not numeric?
I was figuring these conditions:
- if the number is above 180 & below 360 just subtract 180
- if the number is below 180 & above 0 just add 180
Using w/ example:
350-180=170
020+180=200
170-200=-030 (then take ABS to get 030)

I have attached two excel files for easier understanding of what I am trying to explain. One is named Deviltronics which is our product list, the other is named Supplier which is our suppliers product list. The suppliers product list is updated every hour to tell me of new products, products in stock, products out of stock and discontinued products. I have cut the suppliers file down considerably to get it to fit as an attachment on this thread. They currently have about 800 products. Now for how this is currently working and the problem:
I use the suppliers file to add the products to my website manually (which is fine) by using the information on the suppliers file. I also add the product title, SKU and part number from the suppliers file onto our Deviltronics file, this allows me to keep a record. The reason I need this record is so that I can use either the SKU or part number to search the suppliers file to see if a particular product is still in stock or not. You can distinguish the supplier has a lengthy product list, although we will not be putting all of there stock on our website at least 70% of it will be on there, therefore you can see how much of a lengthy process this is if I want to check the products on a daily basis......
In attached spreadsheet, I have run my marco on Col A to tag which records are duplicates (macro in workbook). Now, of the records that are tagged "DUP", I would like to find which cells in Cols B, C, D, etc. have changed - ie., compare the first "DUP" record to the second "DUP" record. Some records and 2 DUPs, others have 3, 4, etc. I only want to compare the tagged "DUP" groups. Changing the cell color (or other type of tagging) the difference is acceptable.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI've got a spreadsheet which lists reference numbers and a value of each one on for two different weeks which looks like this (please ignore the ....'s - I was trying to illustrate the colums clearly but the spaces seem to get removed when I post this)
ref(week 1):...........Value (week 1):......ref (week 2):....Value (week 2):
123456...................£100.23...............123456.............£100.23
113456...................£123.45...............147258.............£75.32
147258...................£74.25.................978645.............£1000.02
What I want to do is compare the value for week 1 and week 2 for each reference number. The problem is that not all the reference numbers for week 1 will be in week 2, and not all the reference numbers in week 2 will have appeared in week 1. I would like to know if there's a way that excel can identify a specific reference number, search for the values for this in week one and week two, and display any differences between these, (e.g. on the above spreadsheet I would like to identify that ref 123456 appears in both weeks and that the balance is the same, reference 147258 appears in both but the value is different, and that reference 113456 & reference 978645 do not appear in both weeks).
I have data changes regularly (Say like tank level and we wil asume that at time 2:00 AM is the base , no matter what is the value) and I want to recored the that change every two minutes along with the time as list.
(i.e. if there is no change nothing will be recorded)
I need get an average call time. I have column C that is the time call started and column D is time call ended. What would I need to get the average call time for the entire sheet? I'll attach a copy of my spreadsheet for you to look at.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am a relatively light Excel user. I mainly use it when working with the .dbf files that make-up GIS shapefiles.
My problem at hand: How can I compare/isolate the rows from spreadsheet #1 to #2 to determine which rows are unique to spreadsheet #1?
What I'm doing: I have a spreadsheet of addresses which I joined to our parcels shapefile to select those parcels. I am trying to determine the success rate of my join operation by isolating the rows which weren't joined. This would be determined by highlighting which rows from spreadsheet #1 aren't in #2.
I need to make sure that the two sets of data i have highlighted in yellow and blue are completely the same. Please can some one write a formula that will flag a cell next to the blue column indicating that there is a difference between that of the blue and the yellow columns individual row.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have columns of black data that I manually go through and find regions that have cells with values that are 0.06 or more different.
I then turn these regions into blue colored regions.
Is there any way you can design a macro that goes through the spreadsheet and FILL COLOR YELLOWs a cell who is 0.06 or more less then the next cell down?
This would be so much easier on my eyes, since I usually have 80 columns and 1500 rows of data.
The blue coloring I still have to do manually because my human instinct is sometimes important there.
I would be using the FILL COLOR YELLOW cells as quick markers for my regions of interest.
Within 4 columns, I have a series of:

I need to create a formula which will give me the sum total of the difference between the data sets.

I need a formula which will calculate this for me.
I have two employee rosters, "yesterday" and "today", with same columns heading(First, Last, Location, Status, etc, etc, etc . I want to compare both rosters and highlight the differences on "today's" roster if an employee's information (location, status, etc) changes from yesterday.
Another change could be, an employee may not be on today's roster as he was yesterday and I could have a new employee on today's that wasn't on yesterday's. Is there a way to copy the row/record from yesterdays roster and add him to today's but highlight it so I know that he is gone?

How to generate a list base on the differences of another list. let me explain; I have a list of combination A1:F2200 each row of course the numbers have difference, example:
589162045620273342451261419316121721264271837414551
As you see the difference in the first row for this small example is 317425 and the list base on this difference is :
145121641256131742367141843478151944589162045691017214671011182247811
1219234891213202449101314212550111415222651121516232752131617242853
The maximum number is 53. doing this one time find, but I have to do it with my 2200 difference.
=SUMPRODUCT(--(LEFT(Apr08WFA!$A$1:$A$4000,2)="zz"),--(TEXT(Apr08WFA!$F$1:$F$4000,"mmmyyyy")=TEXT(B6,"mmmyyyy")))+SUMPRODUCT(--(LEFT(Apr08WFA!$A$1:$A$4000,2)="zz"),--(TEXT(Apr08WFA!$F$1:$F$4000,"mmmyyyy")=TEXT(B7,"mmmyyyy")))
this counts the number of entries on sheet Apr08WFA when value in range F1 to F4000 is either apr2008 (cellB6) or mar2008 (cellB7).
this works in principle but does not catch all.
I want to amend the formula to catch new entries appearing on a sheet called May08WFA that were not on Apr08WFA but with the same condition of "zz".
So data on May08WFA will be compared against Apr08WFA and new entries counted.
