Excel 2007 :: Vlookup Not Capturing All The Duplicates?
Dec 6, 2012
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 wish to create a worksheet which I want to visually show milestone progress via a traffic light system based on dates , however I need a mechanism to lock these cells as each milestone progresses capturing whether it was within a certain SLA or not.
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 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.
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?
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 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.

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've got 3 columns of formulas that end up doing what I need, but I'm thinking it could probably be done easier with VBA.
I have 1 book with a sheet I'll call Log & another book with a sheet I'll call Source. On the Log, column E has the first 9 characters of vendor names & /vendor number (ex: EDMUND FI/00250), along with other data out through column P. On Source, the vendor names are in C & a short code for their name is in A.
I need to compare the first 9 characters in Log col E with the first 9 characters in Source col C. When a match is found, I need to return the short code from Source col A. BUT - if there's a duplicate in either Source col C or A, instead I need to return the word VERIFY, preferably with the cell highlighted in red.
Right now, I have, on Source col L:
Code: =MID(C2,1,9) and in source M:
Code: =IF(OR(A2=A1,A2=A3,L2=L1,L2=L3),"VERIFY",A2) This gives me the first 9 characters of the vendor name in L & the short code OR VERIFY in M
Then, in Log col R, I have an array formula:
Code: =VLOOKUP(MID(E4,1,9),'[PRETICKET P ADDRESSES working.xls]Paddress'!$L:$M,2,FALSE)
This gives me either the short code or VERIFY from Source M. Also, sometimes it doesn't find a match & it returns #N/A. Then I have to do Conditional Formatting to make the VERIFY cells red & I thought I'd make the error cells be yellow (although I haven't figured out the CF for that yet)
Is there a better way to do this with VBA? I'm working with Excel 2010; just got it & still figuring it out.
Well to start off I am using Excel 2007, I have an invoice template set up across two sheets (Invoice & Price Table), on the first page is the actual invoice that needs to be filled in. I have made an userform for being able to fill in the invoice number,what type of test was done, and also things like hours and miles (an their costs per also)
. Now I am wanting to try and get it to where I can have the form look at the type of test cell and from there select the price located on the second sheet that is appropriate to that type, the thing is, there are two possible prices that it can be depending on if the company wanted the results "rush". I was suggested that I could use a check box on the invoice to indicate in the spreadsheet that it is a rush, and somehow link that in with a vlookup to be able to get what I wanted, but I'm not sure exactly how I would go about doing that.
I have two worksheets, contractor & list. Assume that Column (A) on the "contractor" worksheet is a named range from Column (A) on the "list" worksheet. On the "contractor" worksheet I would like to put in the contractors name, and auto populate the pay value in column (B). I have been using a Vlookup formula, but need to automate this process a bit more.
"Contractor" worksheet - Two columns: (A) I will input the contractors name from a dropdown list based on name range from my "list" worksheet. (B) is where I would like to populate the pay base on column (B) in my "list" worksheet.
I am using Excel 2007, I have a customer sheet and a sales sheet in the same work book. My customer sheet lists all customers with a single entry only each with a unique customer code. My Sales sheet lists at an item level but does include the customer code so if my customer has purchased more than one item the customer code can be repeated on the Sales sheet on multiple rows.
When I do a vlookup to display the amount each customer has spent on the customer sheet, only the very first sales figure is displayed, if further down the sales sheet the same customer has made another purchase I want this figure to be added to the first figure and all I want to see on my customer sheet is the final total figure.
The vlookup formula I am currently using is: =VLOOKUP(G2,Sales!$A$2:$B$1785,2,FALSE),
I'm thinking maybe a Vlookup will not do what I require, maybe I need a different formula/function?
I'm looking to simply find a function that allows me to lookup a certain value in a table of data and return the value in a specific column. So if I looked up the current date, 6/27/2011, it would return the week it is in (26). I dont want to be limited to just the monday column however, as the dates I will be throughout the entire week. Is there an easy way to do this in excel 2007?
I have a workbook (book1) that is modifying multiple other workbooks (book2). I need to do a vlookup of a sheet in book1 from a value in book2. I then need to insert the value found by the lookup into G7:H7 (merged cells) of book2.
value is in column B of page "Routes" of book1. Found by value B3:C3 of book2. The vlookup looks in column A of book1. The found value is put into G7:H7 of book2.
In a step by step, to possibly make this more clear:
1) check value of B3:C3 in book2 2) find value in Routes sheet of book1, column A 3) upon match, grab the value of column B 4) insert that value into G7:H7 of book2
I am using Windows xp and Excel 2007. I'm creating a user form and have a vlookup formula that goes to a table and looks up calories and sodium based on the text entered by the user. My problem is that I want to be able to populate the 3 columns with information and then sum the values that are returned to the Calories and Sodium columns. Is that possible with Vlookup?
I am having cell return blank if no value is found. it is currently looking only at one sheet.
I don't want it to combine the values like this formula does. =(VLOOKUP(Q2,'sheet3'!$D$2:$K$200,7,FALSE)&","&VLOOKUP(Q24,'sheet2'!$D$2:$K$1807,7,FALSE)) #.###,##.##
sheet 1 is where the cell I am writing the formula is in, and I want to look in sheet 2, 3, and possible 4 for a value, I want to only have the greatest value show between the sheets. is this possible.
Now, whenever I type in any country it should show me the most recent figure available for that country.
Suppose, if I type Country A in, say cell A14, then it should give me output 2% in cell, say A15. When I change that same cell to country C, it should give me output 10%, country B should give me output 5%.
Currently I have used IF and multiple/nested VLOOKUPs to arrive at this output. Is there any better way to do this with VLOOKUP and OFFSET?
I have two data sets across two worksheets. The first worksheet contains sales order numbers (Sheet1:column A) and other data . The second worksheet contains sales order numbers (Sheet2:column A) and the product details.
On sheet1, I had to manually duplicate a sales order number (inserting another row) if the number of units of the order is greater than 1. I then need to fetch the product details from sheet2 for each unit for that specific order number. However in sheet2, there are multiple products for one sales order number.
How do i create a lookup/match to fetch the product details for each sales order number without duplicating the product details if there are multiple products for one sales order number?
I know a simple vlookup function will return the values that it matches first and that is not what i want.
very basic Excel user (using Excel 2007). Trying to see how I can use the VLookup function from multiple worksheets to get an average. I know it can be done, but just not sure how to go about doing that. My spreadsheet is attached - basically what I want to do is to get an average for the individuals listed in the "Consensus" tab for the figures that appear in Worksheets "1", "2" and "3".
What I have attached is spreadsheet I've built to quickly generate an army list for a tabletop game. Anyone can click on the Force Organization Slot (FOS) and choose the type of unit and from there, select the specific unit name attached to that FOS. Each individual unit has a list of options/upgrades currently attached to the sheet from cells AD through AX and the points cost listed next to each upgrade.
For example, when selecting the Rhino unit from the Dedicated_Transport FOS, there should be 4 drop down lists of selectable upgrades (Storm Bolter, Hunter-Killer Missile, Dozer Blade, and Extra Armor). Currently, I have only named the ranges for the Rhino and Razorback units in order to get this working properly without having to go through the entire list of units and change names/create ranges/ect.
What I'm aiming to do is to create an individual drop down list that is directly related to the Unit Name cell in order to populate a complete and selectable upgrade list for each unit. I have played around with some functions that work in the spreadsheet (see cells X10:X12) but do not work properly with Data Validation.
Oddly enough, when I enter this formula under Data Validation:
I am trying to find a formula for a vlookup that will check one cell for any value but if that cell has no entry then it will check a different cell to return the value how do i do this?
TEAMCSS Wetherill ParkCT NAME
above is where i need it to look CSS wetherill Park is cell C1 the cell that has no entry is H1, both of these cells have validation lists in them,
