Excel 2007 :: Removing Duplicates Within Time Range
May 28, 2012
I am using Excel 2007 on Windows 7. I would like to remove duplicates as follows: If column A = column A, column B = column B, and the two rows are within one hour of each other, then remove all duplicates, leaving one instance of the row. As you can see, sometimes the duplicates are right next to each other, and sometimes have rows between them. (Rows 1 & 2, Rows 30 & 32). Even though this sample doesn't show it, sometimes there can be tens of duplicates within an hour, not just two.
Excel 2007
ABCD1EruptionI Can't Stand The Rain (78)3/7/20129:12:55
AM2EruptionI Can't Stand The Rain (78)3/7/20129:10:02
AM3ChicagoJust You 'N' Me (73)3/7/20129:05:59
Can someone look at the sheet sample? I am trying to turn duplicates into a zero like Ive done in record 1 so that the same tax bill is not counted twice. The records are in rows and if I do a transpose and try to do it by hand it will take forever cause I have hundreds of records.
I am using the follwoing code which works as it is supposed to except that it does not remove the duplicate entries, almost as though the code skips that step. How can I fix this?
I want to pull the very last odd duplicate. Example below, I want to pull out A3, and C5 and delete the rest. Is there a function that will allow me to do this?
For example,
Column 1 Column 2 A 1 A 2 A 3 B 1 B 2 C 1 C 2 C 3 C 4 C 5 D 1 D 2 D 3 D 4
------ A ------------------- B John123@gmail.com--------Blue Bill323@gmail.com ---------Red Sue223@gmail.com -------Green Sue223@gmail.com -------Yellow Bill323@gmail.com ---------Red Bill323@gmail.com --------Yellow John123@gmail.com ------Yellow Sue223@gmail.com --------Blue
- C --------------- D --- John ------------Blue, Yellow Bill --------------Red, Yellow Sue------------Green, Yellow, Blue
I am using Excel 2013 on Windows 7. In the above example columns A & B is the given list to process, and Columns C & D contain the result I am trying to achieve. The major part of this that I am having trouble on combining, separating them with commas in another cell, and ignoring a duplicate value. You can see bill has two red values, but I only need it displayed once in column D.
I have recived a CSV file with dollar amounts that need to be formated with out a deciaml and with our rounding. Example I need 12558.64 to be changed to 1255864.
I'm working with a very large spreadsheet which has somehow divided itself into print areas. Each section has 'Page 1' or the equivalent as a background, behind the data itself. I thought it would be simple to remove this, but for the life of me I can't see how. I'm using Excel 2007.
I have several sheets with about 250,000 rows per sheet.
But, even I sort by Column A, there are STILL hundreds or rows that are total blank interspersed down the page . . . I can't autofilter for blanks because there is too much data . .
The title in the attached chart is a camera shot transferred from another excel 2007 worksheet in the same workbook.
I'd like to remove the border line, I've tried right clicking... then format picture ...no dialogue box comes up. I've scrolled through all the commands in the ribbon + non ribbon commands and can't find anything that seems appropriate that's not greyed out ....
When I duplicated a worksheet in Excel 2007, I received a warning that "A formula or sheet you want to move or copy contains the name ___" (an existing Name) and was given options. The Name in question should not have been relevant because I never intentionally linked it to the worksheet that was being duplicated, but apparently something happened at some point to create such a link.
I opened Name Manager and deleted the Name in question, and this invoked a warning. "Privacy warning: This document contains macros, ActiveX controls, XML expansion pack information, or Web components. These may include personal information that cannot be removed by the Document Inspector." I had no macros. Each time I attempted to save the document, I got this error/warning, even after disabling Macro Security completely.
It was still saving, fortunately, so I closed Excel and relaunched, and the issue seemed to vanish.
Should I be worried about the integrity of my document? Everything seems fine now, but I'm a little concerned.
I am having trouble delete a drop down list inspite of selecting clear all from the data validation tab in excel 2007. When I hit Alt + Down Arrow, I still see picklist options. I didnt set up the spreadsheet, hence I am not sure how to begin troubleshooting.
I have used this template for a Vlookup and have been having troubles that I simply cannot pin down. Some duplicated numbers in Columns A and C will NOT appear in Column B. I am also trying to work it out where when the results are displayed that Excel will tell me in a pivot how many loans are on both lists and how many loans are on each specific list.
I have two lists that I need to compare and remove duplicates but the two list are not identical, ie. one list has four columns and the other one only has two columns.(Using Excel 2007)
I have 2 separate tables.. both a list of contacts of sorts.
In one table I have a list of all my clients (table A), in the other I have a list of "preferred" clients (table B).
The contact details etc that are stored in table A are more comprehensive to those in table B.
Effectively, I want to search for all of my preferred contacts from table B and filter for them in table A.
Then ideally I will sort alphabetically and just cut and paste the details into my preferred client spreadsheet.
I had a look online and there was something about creating a "relationship" but I don't think excel 2007 allowed me to do it. I certainly hadn't heard of powerview or powerpivot that they were using!
I use excel 2007 and need a formula to identify cells that have duplicate values within the same cell. For example, some of my city fields have the city twice, like baltimorebaltimore.
Using Excel 2007 and conditional formatting, how would I find duplicates across all fields in the table, similar to the "remove duplicates" tool that in default mode selects all the fields or offers the option to select fields of choice. I need to look at all the fields.
I've tried concatenation, but only with a limited number of fields; larger amounts slow the process to a crawl. If my table is 10,000 records with 15 fields, what process would I use to highlight the duplicates. How about something in VBA?
I am trying to figure a way to search for a cell that has a specific date and time range. There are several cell titles pending on the activity. I want to find a cell that has a time ** 7:30-15:30 , 15:31-17:30, 17:31-20:30. The end result is to calculate the activity between those time periods based on the data cells.
Example
If the date searched time field ** the activity ranges is 1635 I need to split the time and credit the activity time in the 730-1530 time and the rest on the 15:31-17:30 time
I have been able to do it on a single labor group based on time alone, but when I try to add the DATE to it my numbers go null. Eventually i will need to add 11 labor groups daily for weeks at a time .
We were looking at a list of about 100 FedEx tracking numbers, each 30 characters in length, in an otherwise blank Excel spreadsheet. All tracking numbers in column A.
I used the Conditional Formatting - Highlight Duplicates feature to find any duplicate tracking numbers. It highlighted numerous. We sorted the column smallest to largest to look at two duplicates back to back, but found that there were actually no duplicates. Excel was highlighting values that had the *first 25* characters the same, but it didn't matter what the remaining characters were. For example:
1234567890123456789012345XXXXX and 1234567890123456789012345YYYYY
were highlighted as duplicates of each other.
Excel only looks at the first 25 characters when analyzing duplicates (at least in this specific function). That in and of itself blows my mind. Tracking numbers seem like an abundantly common type of data, and to think that Excel would fail to analyze them in such a simple manner seems impossible to me.
It gets slightly more confusing though. If you back a character off the end of the values, it NO LONGER sees them as duplicates. So...
1234567890123456789012345XXXX and 1234567890123456789012345YYYYY
are NOT highlighted as duplicates while
1234567890123456789012345XXXXX and 1234567890123456789012345YYYYY
ARE highlighted as duplicates. So there's some funny business going on about values of the same character length. Maybe Excel first looks at character length before analyzing specific characters. If length doesn't match, it doesn't even bother to analyze specific character values. That seems like a very strange programming choice though.
I have a excel 2007 workbook that has 5 sheets "MASTER" , "RED" , "WHITE", "GOLD" & "BLUE". There are 7 columns in each sheet and the master has about 8,000 rows . In column D of each sheet there is a unique number (approx. 8 - 10 digits ) that I would like to at the press of a command button search through sheets "RED" "WHITE" "GOLD" & "BLUE" against the unique numbers in the "MASTER" sheet and if there any duplicates numbers delete the entire row but leave all the data in the master sheet.
I am trying to organize some meteorological data for a project and I ran into a wall, basically I have 3 columns in one there is the date, in one the hour and in the third one the temperature the issue is that in the hour section i have the hour 12:00 that repeats its self , and this goes for the hole year , pretty much every day i have the hour 12:00 that repeats twice , so select for every Monday , Tuesday etc only certain hours.
I have list of data references about 60000 of them but some are duplicated. I have used advanced filted then unique records only. So now i have just the unique records showing now. How do i copy the accounts that is just unique into a new worksheet? I tried copying it but its copying everything. I even tried using paste value but still copying everything?
I have a spreadsheet which contains 2 columns of data, most of which are duplicates.
I'm looking for a macro which will check all of colum A (A2:A138)
against
Column B (B2:B163)
I would like the macro to remove duplicate entries (from column A) in column B so that all that is left in column B are entries which don't match any in column A
I want to retain the row with maximum elements(row 2 in above eg.).
Result should be:
Name Col-1 Col-2 Col-3 Col-4 abc 1 2 3 4
Currently I am doing this manually, by adding countA at the end of each row, then arranging them in descending order. That will make sure that the row with more data comes first n hence gets retained, while other rows gets deleted. Can this be done using Macro?
Below macro just deletes the rows,
Public Sub DeleteDuplicateRows() Dim R As Long Dim N As Long Dim V As Variant Dim Rng As Range
On Error GoTo EndMacro Application.ScreenUpdating = False
I'm adding data from a report into a spread sheet and some of it will be duplicated. I want to remove the duplicate data, but is there a way to differentiate between the older (and more complete) data and the newer data? In other words, how do I get rid of the duplicate while keeping the one I want to keep?
I was considering the advanced filter, but if I create too many columns of criteria will it be seen as unique?
I have data in the form of a table. For example a list of duplicate names, each of these names have a corresponding date (lease expiry date). The problem is that the duplicate names have varying dates. So the remove duplicates function does not work because i need to remove the duplicate names with the older dates. I want the latest dates to remain behind.

I'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?
