Eliminate Duplicates And Alphabetize The Rest Within A Cell

Aug 31, 2009

****** http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">****** name="ProgId" content="Word.Document">****** name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 11">****** name="Originator" content="Microsoft Word 11"> Hello good people.

I tried to search back through old threads and could not find the answer, so this is what I am trying to do.

I would like to eliminate the duplicate items within a particular cell and alphabetize the remaining items.

For example,
Currently:
South Atlantic, East South Central, South Atlantic, Pacific, Mountain, New England, East South Central,

Wanted result:
East South Central, Mountain, New England, Pacific, South Atlantic,

I’d do it manually, but at current rate, it looks like it will take me about 86 hours

Eliminate Duplicates On A 1 For 1 Basis

Feb 20, 2009

I have a huge list of accruals and payments. Accruals (positive) are entered, and at a later date are offset by the payments (negative). Im trying to make a schedule so i can determine which are left over.

This is easy to do manually for a small amount of rows. However im dealing with 5000 rows and i do not want to manually match it would take many days to do.

Ive tried a duplicate remover. To get it to work i made an absolute value column for the negatives, and compared it to the positives column to find the duplicates. This works to a point. However, If i have three accruals for 100, and one payment for 100, all are identified as duplicates which obviously is not what im looking for.

I need to get it where one accrual is matched to one payment. if there are 3 accruals, 2 payments, 1 is not a duplicate. if there is 3 accruals, 1 payment, 2 are not duplicates.

Eliminate Duplicates Based On Different Variables?

Nov 28, 2012

I have a list of serial numbers. There are many groups of 8 same serial numbers, where group consists of 2 projects with 4 SN per project (because of 4 different events). I want to create a formula that marks one project with 4 out of 8 SN for deletion based on set of 3 dates assigned to them. In short I need to count 4 rows per project as one unit.

Serial
Project
Event description
Date1
Date2
Date3

Here is a list on what information matters when making decision if to mark project for deletion or not.

1. Project1 has no Dates entered compared to Project2. Mark Pr1

2. Project1 and Project2 has no Dates entered. Mark Pr1 (random, does not matter which should be removed)

3. Project1 has 2009 Dates, Project2 has 2011 Dates. Mark Pr1 because dates are older

4. Project1 has less Date entries filled than Project2 (same year). Mark Pr1 because less Date fields entered.

I can somewhat do it for separate rows, how I can make these rules apply for whole project as one unit related only to one SN at a time. Biggest problem is there is no pattern of dates entered. Sometimes one row can be filled another missing out info and etc.

Merge, Sort & Eliminate Close Duplicates

Jul 20, 2007

I am attaching a file with an example of a spreadsheet that I am trying to sort out. In this example I have 3 samples (I could have many more). Each sample has 8 columns associated with it (N, M, I, F, S, MS, KM and KD). The length of the dataset is different for each sample. The MS column is the same as M but contains a few zeroes. What I am trying to do is:

1) generate one column (MSA) containing only unique values (no zeroes) from columns MS1, MS2 and MS3. The unique values should be selected within a specified tolerance (for example, 0.001, which makes 52.00706 from MS1 and 52.00701 from MS2 duplicate values although they are not exactly the same)

2) generate 3 columns ( named SS1, SS2 and SS3) with sorted columns S1, S2, and S3 so that for each value of MS in column MSA each of the three columns will list the corresponding value of S1, S2 and S3 (zero if there is no corresponding value)

Move Data From One Cell In One Row Into Several Rows And Copy Rest Of Row

Mar 2, 2013

I publish a green building mag, and we run an enquiry system for readers on our website. This is the link: [URL] .......

The idea is that readers tell us some info about themselves, including what types of products/services they'd like to receive information about, and we pass their details on to advertisers offering those products/services.

When someone fills out a form, we get data in Excel on their enquiry. It's all in one row - name, contact details, and then the products/services they've enquired about are included in one cell, separated by commas.

So for instance, suppose a listing currently came in as follows (column headings in brackets:

(name) Joe Soap / (job title) Architect / (organisation) Joe Soap Architecture / (address) 123 Soap St, Soapville / (enquiries) insulation, solar panels, windows

Essentially I want it to run like this:

(name) Joe Soap / (job title) Architect / (organisation) Joe Soap Architecture / (address) 123 Soap St, Soapville / (enquiries) insulation
(name) Joe Soap / (job title) Architect / (organisation) Joe Soap Architecture / (address) 123 Soap St, Soapville / (enquiries) solar panels
(name) Joe Soap / (job title) Architect / (organisation) Joe Soap Architecture / (address) 123 Soap St, Soapville / (enquiries) windows

Eliminate Rows Where Cell Contains Something That Is Not A Number

Jan 25, 2013

I have a long list of days and the flight hours of a helicopter in each day. The first two columns are the Date and Flight Hours, at the end of each month there is a space and a cell that says "Total" and may contain other words.

I want to delete every row in which the Flight Hours column contains a 0, a word, or anything that is not a number. This way only the days in which the helicopter has been active will show.

So far I have written a code that deletes every row where there is a 0 in the Flight Hours column, but i would like to delete everything that is not a number, such as a string value, a blank cell, etc...

Sorting Within One Cell + Eliminate Repeats

Jul 12, 2007

Cell 1 has 1,2,3,4,5
Cell 2 has 2,4,5,7,9

While combing them into one cell, there will be no repeat of the same number. So the outcome would be

1,2,3,4,5,7,9

The main point here is to merge the two cells together and eliminate the repeated numbers and sorting the numbers in a cell. Or if anyone knows series of steps not just one function to get to this.

How To Alphabetize A List

Mar 27, 2014

Is there a way to modify the following macro (graciously provided by user Alkey) so that it simultaneously alphabetizes the list as well? Actually, I would prefer a second macro, because I don't always want to alphabetize my lists. So, I guess I would need a function called something like Concat_Range_Alphabetize.

Auto Alphabetize List

Nov 25, 2009

I have a Master Data sheet for the input of personnel information. This information is then used in different Data Validation formats to be referenced by other sheets. Column P, I use the Concatenate formula to put together a needed grouping (Last Name, Shift/Kelly) taken from the Master Data sheet. I would like Column Q to then alphabetize Column P by the last name and also drop the blank cells. I would like this to be an automatic function, so as personnel are added or deleted, the alphabetical list will be updated as the information is changed.

I hope I've explained it well enough. I've attached a sample sheet to help make it easier to understand. I would prefer to do this via a forumla and not a macro, but if the only option is to use a macro, then so be it. Is this at all possible?

Alphabetize Combobox Items

Jan 19, 2010

I have a significant number of comboboxes on a multipage userform. Almost all of them are populated dynamically (it takes the user choice from one combobox, looks for that value on the spreadsheet and if it finds it, it takes whats in the next column and adds it to another combobox).

My problem is that all the items in these other comboboxes are not in alphabetical order. I'd like to find some code that will work for all my comboboxes so that I don't have to have the same code over and over again for each field.

I found the code below and that works to alphabetize the dropdown, but I still have to use it over and over again and change it for each fieldname (in red). I tried to use a variant and just make the value the same as each fieldname before it calls the sub and whats in red below was just my variable but that just crashes my excel.

Alphabetize Separate Cells Of Data In Same Row

Nov 30, 2009

I have a worksheet with 6,500 rows of data. In each row, there are up to 6 cells containing a name in "Last, First" format. I need to alphabetize the data from these 6 cells so they go across the row in order left to right, alpha by last name.

Example of my data layout:

Column 1 Column 2 Column 3
Row 1 Jackson, Bob / Anderson, Lisa / Cardinal, Mike
Row 2 Tomlinson, Steve / Dodge, Sarah / White, Brian


I need them to be in this order:

Column 1 Column 2 Column 3
Row 1 Anderson, Lisa / Cardinal, Mike / Jackson, Bob
Row 2 Dodge, Sarah / Tomlinson, Steve / White, Brian


Is there a formula I can apply that will pull from only the portion of the data before the comma in each cell? Or do I need to separate out all of the names so the first and last names are in separate columns for this to work?

Auto-alphabetize And Column Continuation

Feb 13, 2007

This issue is really 2 problems in one.

Problem #1 - I would like to have several columns of alphabetized words one a page (no problem so far). I would like column "a" to automatically continue to column "b" and then to "c", etc... when the columns reach the bottom of the page. The resulting effect is that all columns on the entire page are filled before starting a new page.

Problem #2 - I would like to have a cell at the top of this page where, after I placed a word in it, excel would automatically place the word in it's proper alphabetical place in the above described list.

I have about 10,000 rows of product descriptions that I need to split. I don't want to cut and paste all 10,000 of those. Here is an example of how they look now(all in one column and I added red to show what I want to CUT):..........

I would like to cut the text in red and paste into the next column over. Is there an easy way to do that? Something like: -find the first digit in the cell and select that and everything to the right in that cell -then cut and paste that in the next column.

Keep Only Duplicate Records And Remove The Rest

Dec 12, 2012

My spreadsheet has more than 200 columns and 5000 rows of data and blanks. When I select all columns and rows and remove the duplicates, 6 records are removed. I need to only keep and be able to identify those 6 records. I could use something like =IF(COUNTIF($A$2:A2,A2)=1,1,0) if I had only few columns that would identify dups but since there are so many columns it would be prodigious job to create one formula for each column and filter through 200.

Only Few Cells Normal - Rest Greyed Out

Mar 16, 2013

I sometimes come across spreadsheets that have only a few white, "normal" looking cells and the rest are grey with no borders.

Usually there is a thick blue line around the "normal" cells and I can make more cells look "normal" by dragging the blue border line.

What is this? And, how do I set it up in a spreadsheet if I need to?
