Excel 2010 :: Formula To Determine If Duplicate Values Exist In Single Column (excluding Empty Cells)
Jun 29, 20121 workbook, 2 worksheets (or tabs). On tab 1, I want a formula/alert that tells the user if any duplicate values exist in Column A of tab 2
Tab 2, Column A, has Unique ID's (6 digit numeric values)
The user manually inputs the ID's on new rows in Column A
Row 1 is reserved and in use for something else
Row 2 is my header, so cell A2 says "ID"
Row 3-623 currently contain unique ID's
When the user inputs a new ID into cell A624, then they return to Tab 1, I want my formula/alert on Tab 1 to tell the user that they have duplicates in Column A of tab 2. I know the Conditional Formatting, but if the user copies in 100 new values, they won't necessarily see the highlighted cells. My tab 1 is my "checks and balances" and the last place the user is suppposed to look to ensure that they haven't created any duplicate ID's. If the user sees a warning message that says duplicates exist, then I'll tell them that they need to look at column A (for cells that have been conditionally highlighted).
One issue that I'm running into with the conditional highlighting is that I want cells A3:A1048576 to already have the conditional formatting - this way when the user inserts a value into Cell A624, then A625, etc they conditional formatting is already there. Right now with data in cells A3:A623, cells A624:A1048576 are all highlighted with the Red/Bold Red Font (which is okay I guess), but ideally it would be nice to not count 2+ empty cells as duplicates and I'll have to have my formula on Tab 1 not include the blank cells.
I DO NOT want to use the Remove Duplicates feature of Excel 2010. If I remove them I could be removing data in columns B, C, D, etc that belong to the Unique ID. I just need the user to be told in Tab 1 that they DO have duplicates and I'll train the user how to research this and fix it.
The reason I want to look for duplicates in the entire Column A is because the list of Unique ID's will grow over time.

View 3 Replies View RelatedEntering A Formula To Determine A Grade
Apr 6, 2007I would like to prepare mid-term grades for my history class, and have three categories, which I would like to insert into a spreadsheet to calculate the grades, as follows:
Mid-term 1: 30%
Mid-term 2: 40%
essays: 30%
each of the three grades is a number from 1-100; the final answer will be a number which I can then convert to a letter grade.
I'm just not sure what function to use, in that last column, to get Excel to calculate the final answer/grade.
Let's just assume that Mid-term 1 is in column A; Mid-term 2 is in column B; and the essay grade is in column C. How can I create a function that will allow me to give the above percentages to the respective assignments, when calculating a grade?

Function/Formula To Determine If Workbook Open
May 16, 2008how do you set a return value for a function in VBA? I've looked at examples of functions and I don't understand.
All I want to do is call a function to see if a workbook is open and have it return true or false. Here is the code I have, but it won't let me use go "Return isOpen" at the end like VB would! The IDE complains.
Function IsWorkBookOpen(ByVal name As String) As Boolean
Dim wBook As Workbook
Dim isOpen As Boolean
wBook = Workbooks(name)
If wBook Is Nothing Then
isOpen = False
Else
isOpen = True
End If
'I can't reutrn the value of is open?
Return isOpen
End Function
I've noticed other VBA functions I've looked at don't use "Return"....how does does the function return a value then?
Concatenate Cells Then Determine Duplicates?
Oct 14, 2013I need to detect 2 levels of duplication.
I have a data table that is similar to below (actual table is very large 1000+ rows) but duplicate column is empty.
I don't want to add additional data (i.e. formula to perform concatenate) to other columns as it takes a very long time even with screen updating turned off.
I want to use vba to
1) determine how many rows there are in the worksheet (this updates from an outside datasource)
2) Concatenate baseno & altno and determine if the concatenated value is duplicated
3) Within those duplicates for each baseno&altno pair determine if verno is different
4) Set "Duplicate" value for each duped baseno&altno pair where verno is different
So the end resulting table after macro runs would be
baseno
altno
verno
duplicate
[Code]....
I have been for weeks now and just can't get this to work. I can get it so that I can determine duplicates on one column but I can't seem to get it to concatenate inside the script and compare without writing back to the sheet (which is too slow and I don't want to do).

View 2 Replies View RelatedDetermine Cells Not Common To 2 Ranges
Jun 5, 2007The compliment of a set is those elements not in the set. Excel doesn't do compliments well.
In Automatic Filter, one can easily see the rows that match criteria, but selecting the compliment of those rows (the ones that don't match the criteria) is difficult.
Similarly, there are the range functions Intersect and Union, but no Symetric Difference.
(Def: the symetric difference of two sets, AB, is the set of those elements in A that are not in B. {1,2,3,4,5}{2,3,4,10,11} = {1,5}.)
Other than by looping through cells:

Formula For Advanced Spreadsheet To Determine Inventory Count?
Mar 23, 2014We have a spreadsheet that pulls data from various other spreadsheets that contain information on current year data, budget year data, and last year data. We need to pull from the current year spreadsheet information each month on the inventory count on hand.
We need one formula in one cell of the main spreadsheet that will know to pull from the appropriate month column of the current year spreadsheet based on the particular month we are running the report for.
In other words, we are not wanting to need to change the formula each month, but to write it such that it will know by our indicating in the main spreadsheet which month it is (which is always indicated in Cell B14).
In the main spreadsheet, the cell containing spreadsheet information on where to find the current year data is $D$2.
