Deleting Duplicate Row (8 Cells) And Shifting Unique Rows Up - 3 Columns As Filter
Feb 4, 2014
I am looking for some code that will use A,B,C as filters to find duplicate cells, and if duplicate found, there should be deleted the duplicated row (but not only the row from a,b,c column, but the whole 8 cells from that row - A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H).
As filter I would like to be used A,B,C columns.
EXAMPLE:
BEFORE
A B C D E F G H

I found a useful resource on the web that gives a macro that deletes rows when the cells within a SINGLE column are identical. [url]
Does anyone know of a macro that can do more than that, one that will delete rows if ALL cells within ALL columns are identical?
For example, the macro should delete row 4 of the attached spreadsheet. It should leave row #2 there because it's the orginal row. But the duplicate row #4 should be deleted. The macro should leave row #5 there because not all columns are identical for that row.
I have a spreadsheet that I need to delete duplicate rows in. However, in order to determine if a row is a duplicate I need to check 2 cells per row. In the attached file you will see that each row has 4 cells. I need to compare the cells in columns B and C with the B and C cells of the Row beneath. If the B and C cells match then it is considered a duplicate and one of the rows needs to be deleted. Also, there may be multiple duplicate rows.
For an example see rows 17, 18 and 19. I only need 1 row to remain.
I am looking for a vb script that would analyze a file with thousands of rows and delete the duplicates.
I have a long list (over 1000 lines) of numbers, some of which are duplicated. Up to now I have been sorting them, adding in a simple check column to see if the number is a duplicate of the one below, and then manually deleting this cell.
Is there a better way to do this using VBA? The only way I have managed to find is by deleting the entire row, but I cannot do this as I have additional data to the right that I need to keep.
I also cannot install any add-ons as this on a work computer.
I work with a spreadsheet every week to input values and subtotal them. These values change constantly and instead of going through and manually deleting each row in a 100+ row spreadsheet to be able to import into another program, I'm looking for an quicker way to keep my data in order but consolidate by getting rid of only the rows where both column A and B are blank.
Here's an example of what I'm working with:
5 10 15 20 50 2 4 6 8 20
This is what I need the final product to look like:
5 10 15 20 50 2 4 6 8 20
So I would like to quickly delete rows 2, 5, and 11. All of the other answers I've found only show how to delete rows based on empty cells in only 1 column. How can I quickly delete the rows where both columns are empty?
I have a challenge for any macro wizard out there - this is something I really need and I'd be happy to reimburse whomever can help with an iTunes gift card or something.
I regularly receive a dataset such as the one you see here on the tab called 'Data comes in varying # of rows' (either link should work):
[url] [url]
The dataset comes each time with a different number of rows, and what I need to do is combine all the 'Issue' and 'Issue Description' columns (there are 8 total) into just two columns.
I think this should be relatively easy for someone who has a better knowledge of macros by simply copying and pasting the data on top of itself (as I have done on the next tab called 'Want to change to this format'), and then simply deleting from the second section the 'Issue #1' and 'Issue #1 Description' columns, and shifting all the data left by two columns.
If you repeat this process for the third and fourth sections (for the third, you must delete 'Issue #1' and 'Issue #1 Description' and 'Issue #2' and 'Issue #2 Description' and shift the data left, while for the fourth you must delete Issues and Issue Descriptions 1 to 3 and shift the fourth Issue and Description to the left), you will end up with the columns A, B, C, and D as I have on the 'Want to change to this format' tab. (The extra columns after column D should all be deleted.)
Finally, the 3 extra header rows that are now at the top of the bottom three copied-and-pasted sections should all 3 be deleted.
I'm using Conditional Formatting for an entire column to check the value of each cell and compare it to the value of a cell in the same row but a different column. (Cell Value equals =$D2) It works great until I insert or delete a cell in the formatted column. The reference does not change as one would expect. I've played around with formulae such as =$D2<>$P2 but the reference only changes for the P2, not the D2. I've also tried using =CELL("contents", ADDRESS(Row(),4)) but this causes excel to complain.
I found this great macro to use in a spreadsheet I'm trying to transpose from rows to columns, however, I need a place holder for blank cells: [URL] .....
I was able to use the macro in the last post by Ochenden but the blank cells need to have a placeholder.
How to change the macro or come up with a different script for me to use?
Attached is how I need the spreadsheet to look.
Script I used:
Sub aaa() Dim OutSH As Worksheet Set OutSH = Sheets("Sheet2")
In my Excel 2003 worksheet I need a macro to search column B for duplicate entries. The data in column B is both numeric and string. If there are any duplicate entries, then I need the duplicate rows to be deleted.
How can I FILTER a range and display the unique items, one below the other, WITHOUT blank cells - with only a FORMULA. What I came up with is shown in the attached WB. I would like to present the countries like in C11:C15.
I deal with leads for a sales room and get sent over leads in bulk, I've created a master scrub list that I can attach to the end of a new lead file and sort by number to show which are duplicates.
When you do the: Data, Filter, Advanced Filter, select Unique Records, it hides the duplicate but what I need is not only for the duplicate to be hidden or gone but the row that it is a duplicate of, i.e. I need BOTH rows to go
Name-----number Dave 555-1212 Dave 555-1212 John 536-2343 Smith 423-2312
needs to become
Name-----number John 536-2343 Smith 423-2312
I would need a formula that figured out that Dave with number 555-1212 was a duplicate and delete BOTH rows,
I have a sheet whereby in column A i have company names and column B how much is invested in this company so:
A B AAPL 10 GOOG 5 MSFT 15 APPL 5 IBM 20 GOOG 10
What i would like to do via macro is take all the duplicates sum them so that i see AAPL as 15 but only be left with one row. So we would be left with only 4 rows each with their summed weight.
I have many rows that contain some common data but I need to be able to select the row with the most recent data and delete the others. For example, a car part is assigned a unique number which never changes, it may be ordered several times and in different quantities, for each car part I want to select the most recent order and delete any others. Is there a simple way of doing this?
In Column "C" there is a list of numbers ( these number realte to incidentsm and are called incident IDs) and I want to delete the rows that have duplicate incident IDs.
My Excel program (Excel 2010) currently has several columns and each column looks for and pulls data from a specific file on my computer. Then I need to delete any duplicate data entries, count the number of unique entries and track the changes through a chart. I have everything done except I cannot figure out (or find on the internet) a way to search in multiple columns (more than 2) and delete just the duplicate cells. I want to delete the cells in a way where there is one left. For example if the code 12gf is duplicated three time, I want to be left with one 12gf (it doesnt matter what column the original one is left in). Additionally, column length changes and they are not sorted. I have attempted to attach an image of an example file below.
I have a sheet with 45,000 rows. Let's say each row has 4 columns: Create_timestamp, Update_timestamp, email_address, and o_flag
Many rows have duplicate email addresses. I would like to remove all the duplicate rows, EXCEPT for the row with the most recent Update_timestamp.
And actually, if I could just "hide" all those rows, that would be even better, but I'd be happy just figuring out how to delete all the "old" rows, so I just have a list of unique email addresses, with their create/update timestamps and o_flag column. Seems like this is such a basic use case for "Remove Duplicates,",.
Below is an example of an Excel sheet I'm working with: [URL]
Basically, I'm trying to delete the duplicate rows by matching ID, Date and Type. If ID, Date and Type are the same, then, I want to only keep the record with the earliest Time in case of Type = In and the latest Time in case of Type = Out.
So, for example, in the case of ID = 1, there are 3 records for In, I only want to keep the one where Time is: 8:01 as this is the earliest. The other 2 records should be deleted.
Similarly, in the case of ID 3, I want to keep the record where Time = 18:05 as this is the later time out of the 2.
Can this be achieved by Conditional Formatting or Macro or VBA?
I need to review a 400,000 row spreadsheet and remove all records where 5 columns are populated with data so I am only eft with records that are missing information.
I'm working through a filter macro to delete unecessary rows of data from my dataset.
- I have a Dynamic Range for my dataset called "CanadaData" - I'm trying to delete rows from the 5th column of my dataset for cells containing "DIRECTSHIP"
The macro filters the range fine, but when if comes to deleting the row, the macro stops.
Sub CanadaWarehouseFilter() x = Range("E" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row If Application.WorksheetFunction.CountIf(Range("E22:E" & x), "DIRECTSHIP") > 0 Then
I have attached a before and after image of what I am looking to accomplish.
In the before image, you can see that there are 3 rows of data - a header - a repeating model number (in column F) with accompanying data (values in columns G - J are the items of interest)
In the after image, you can see that I took the 3 rows of data and turned it into simply two rows of data - a header - the repeating model number
What I did however in the after image, as can be seen, is I took certain data values that appeared on the repeating row (columns G - J), and included them as PRICE, COST, BEGIN, and END values in new columns on row 2.
Is there a way to accomplish this via some functions or maybe even a VBA script?
I am using the following code to copy a unique list, but it gives a duplicate in the first 2 rows(col Q). There is no headings in the columns.
Code: Sub CopyUnique() Dim lastrow As Long lastrow = ActiveSheet.Cells(Rows.Count, "P").End(xlUp).row ActiveSheet.Range("P11:P" & lastrow).AdvancedFilter Action:=xlFilterCopy, _ CopyToRange:=ActiveSheet.Range("Q11"), Unique:=True End Sub
I have a spreadsheet that lists employees and their certifications. If an employee has multiple, then they will show up on as many rows as they have certifications.
The macro I have merges them into one row with a line break, but only the first column's unique value has been merged while the other columns containing their own unique values are duplicated when I want them to show up only once. Example: Jane Doe shows up 2 times on the report. Her name should only show up once on the row, not 2 times with a line break.
Here is the code. I have also attached an example of what I need. Because the attachment is a simpler version of the actual report, is it possible to specify which rows have the unique values and which ones don't?
I have data contained in 4 columns. Column A is name, Column B is ID, Column C is Company, Column D is amount. There are duplicate names in column A and duplicate ID's in column B (ID's have correspending Company Names in Column C). I want to have a list so that this combination shows up only once, and then the amount next to it will be the sum of all.
