Excel 2010 :: Transfer Data Into Form - Multiple Rows Cells
Mar 27, 2014
Every day I receive a csv file of NAMES, PLACES, ADDRESSES, IDS, SPECIAL ID (ETID), ITEMS, QUANTITY, AND OTHER INANE INFORMATION. which is a list of people from places that are ordering item(s) for each ETID)
I CONVERT TO EXCEL BECAUSE I HAVE TO CLEAN THE DATA FORMATTING, AND SPLIT A COLUMN INTO 2 (LAST NAME AND ETID ARE TOGETHER).
I need to put the items into a form, one order per ETID.
I tend to receive on NAME, PLACE, ADDRESS, sending orders for multiple ETIDS.
I don't know the easiest or best way to get the info into the order form. I have designed the form in word and excel.

I need something that will take data from columns in one Spreadsheet and put in difference cells in a row. I know this could be done with recording a macro but the number of column will never be constant.
Below I attached examples of the Spreadsheet
Financials SpreadSheet
Need to have the data in column B to F put their respective cells in row in the
Master Spreadsheet
So we would have 5 rows.

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.

Software: Excel 2010, Windows 7
What is the VBA code for inserting text in all column B-cells of multiple selected rows?
I am creating a worksheet with a table containing various data related to orders of various materials (this is more or less data gathering from an older, paper-based 'system'). This table spans, columnwise, from A to D and expands downwards as more orders are added. The information in each column is: A=order number, B=type of material and C=material specs. and D=additional comments.
I've set it up so that the only thing I really have to do is to insert the type of material in the cells of column B, and the rest will sort itself out. Instead of having to insert a new row for each new entry and manually typing in the name of the material (these entries are often done in the midst of already existing data), I created several similar, macroed buttons for the different types of materials we use. These macros work by selecting the row of the currently active cell, inserting a new row and then add the name of the material in the column B-cell of this new row. What I am having trouble doing though, is to get the text-entry to work for a selection of multiple cells.
As an example, lets say that I would like to add 5 orders of "Grade A Steel" in the middle of the table - in the row above row 8. With the macro I currently have I can select cell B5, click the macro, and a new row will be inserted with "Grade A Steel" in column B of this new row. This action could be performed 5 times over, but would be easier if I could just mark a range of 5 cells, say B8:B12, click the macro and get the text/data inserted the column B-cells of all 5 of the new rows. So far I've been able to create a macro that inserts multiple new rows, but I've only been successful in filling the column B-cell in the first row leaving the 4 below empty.

I work for an insulation company and we have all of our jobs, completed and in progress, on a master worksheet.
Currently there are 437 rows of data (but will increase), and columns A to N with various bits of data.
Row A is a location field - there are 5 locations currently.
I would like to be able to add a new line at the bottom of the master sheet, and then this automatically identifies the location from column A and which worksheet is it to be copied to and then copies the data from that new row to the bottom of the relevant location sheet.
I would also like to be able to update the data in the existing entries (e.g. when a job has been assessed initially, and then completed, I need to put the dates in) and for this to update on the relevant worksheet.
Each worksheet has the same format (columns A to N have the same headings in row 1, then data to begin in row 2).
I wouldn't say I'm an advanced Excel user (otherwise I wouldn't be asking this question), but I do have a fairly good working knowledge of it. Currently using Excel 2010. Would ideally like to be able to do it without VBA as it needs to be uploaded to Google Docs and for others in the company to access online.

My problem is I cannot copy from a Form Control drop down box, and I need to do this for ~10 drop down boxes in about 200 xls files. The files follow a template so the drop down button Inputs are uniform. Here is some more detail:
I’m building an Access Database so that our data (currently in many, many Excel Spreadsheets) can be efficiently queried. The old system was that when asset data was collected, the data would be entered into an Excel spreadsheet, using a Template. So for example:
Project A1234
Name
Main Street Pipe
High Street Pipe
Ref No.
12345
12346
Installation date
22/08/13
19/07/12
X Coordinate
55667
99212
Y Coordinate
77889
12364
We have hundreds of these files, but I managed to get all the files in one folder and Paste and Transpose the data from the relevant Cell Ranges in each file (using a VB sub) into ONE summary sheet. Success; or so I thought.
Unfortunately for one generation of the template (people changed them slightly every year), the template had people enter information into Drop Down Menus. Not a problem when they’re associated with a cell, but these were free floating Form Controls.. so you can’t actually click and copy from them, or call them in VB as you would a specific cell.. afaik.
So my issue is how can I extract the data from those Form Buttons? I’ll try and provide as much info as I can:
Firstly I tried to find some sort of identifier for each Form Button. The dropdowns are called Combo Boxes, (Developer tab > Insert > Combo Box (Form Control) ), and when you select them (by right clicking) and hit the View Code button in Developer Tab > Controls the following shows up in VB.
Sub DropDown44_Change()
End Sub
I’m guessing that the number is related to the button so that’s one useful thing, an identifier of sorts. There’s no actual code there though really from what I can see.. My problem is I have no idea how to extract from DropDown44!
The range of values in the drop down comes from a separate sheet where there’s just a list of the values. There aren’t any cells linked to the drop downs though. If I enter a cell in (Right Click) Format Control > Cell link: then it prints the number (e.g. 4) of the value in the range. So if the drop down options are “Monday”, “Tuesday”, “Wednesday”, “Thursday” and “Thursday” is selected, the linked cell says: “4”.
They didn’t link a cell, then I could call that cell in a VB sub and the job would be done. Unfortunately they didn’t, so I tried Recording a Macro and selecting the drop down form control.. That didn’t really work, except if I right clicked it, I got some more info from the macro VB:
ActiveSheet.Shapes.Range(Array("Drop Down 19")).Select
So is my drop down an Array? My understanding of an Array is that it’s a list of arguments.. all I get there is the name of the button. I am not experienced in VB so this is as far as I’ve got. Perhaps I can get a sub to select the button using the above line, but I need the info from it, i.e. which value is currently selected in the Drop Down.
(Using Excel 2010 but the .xls files are from ~2005)

I have created timesheets for employees that work in our shop. Our company manufactures products for different industries, such as mining, wind power generation, general industrial applications, and so forth. I modified some time sheet templates I found for excel to accommodate our company's actions. Each employee has their own workbook, in which the months are separated into different worksheets. Each sheet is divided further into weeks and in each weekly section the areas of information are divided as follows:
A / B / C / D / E / F / G / H / I / J / K / L / M
Work Sector / Workshop or Fieldservice / Scope of Work / Job # / Reg or OT / Mon / Tue / Wed / Thu / Fri / Sat / Sun / Total
There are 7 workbooks (one for each employee), each with 12 sheets (one for each month). I want to create a master sheet that will pull information from everyone's timesheet if they worked on a particular job. In other words, I would like to type a job number into a cell, then have excel look through everyone's timesheets and pull over only the rows of information that contain that job number

My goal is to create a tracker for my work. This tracker would have the data collection in a seperate excel worksheet using forms (embedded), where all of the information initially goes, then with the click of an "Add" button, it formats the information in the cells in the appropriate worksheet (ie: good data goes to the worksheet called "Good" and vice versa for "Bad"), clearing the data from the forms, and preparing for the next bit of information.
Date
Time
Name
Notes
Type (2 radio buttons that categorize the )
Completed tasks (checkboxes stating "Did I do this", "Did I do that", etc.)

I am using MS Office 2010. I want to count---on multiple sheets---the number of times that a given cell is greater than another cell if and only if a third cell is equal to a given value. I want to do this for 4 sets of data on each sheet. I thought I had it figured out with this formula---
=SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIF(INDIRECT("'"&$H$1:$H$43&"'!$R1"),2*(AND("'"&$H$1:$H$43&"'!$E1">"'"&$H$1:$H$43&"'!$F1"))))+SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIF(INDIRECT("'"&$H$1:$H$43&"'!$S1"),2*(AND("'"&$H$1:$H$43&"'!$G1">"'"&$H$1:$H$43&"'!$H1"))))+SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIF(INDIRECT("'"&$H$1:$H$43&"'!$T1"),2*(AND("'"&$H$1:$H$43&"'!$I1">"'"&$H$1:$H$43&"'!$J1"))))+SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIF(INDIRECT("'"&$H$1:$H$43&"'!$U1"),2*(AND("'"&$H$1:$H$43&"'!$K1">"'"&$H$1:$H$43&"'!$L1"))))
but it returns a value of zero each time. Clearly there is an error in the formula.
Here is some background:
-- $H$1:$H$43 is a block of cells that has the names of the sheets in the workbook
-- E1 and F1, G1 and H1, I1 and J1, K1 and L1 are the four groups of cells that I am comparing.
In the entire workbook, I want to add 1 (counting function) only when:
R1=2 AND E1>F1 or
S1=2 AND G1>H1 or
T1=2 AND I1>J1
U1=2 and K1>L1
on each appropriate sheet in the workbook.

I have attached a test workbook excel 2010 (ignore ref# errors, I've cut the workbook down for uploading purposes) What I would like to do is have a 'Button' on my 'information Sheet' which when clicked would clear certain cells. I have searched the forum but can't find a solution, everyone seems to want to delete rows or columns but I just want to clear certain cells. The workbook will have 11 sheets each named 'caravan 1' through to 'caravan 11' The uploaded test workbook only only has 3 sheets.
On 'caravan 1' (which is slightly different to the other 10) I want to clear the content of cells
B4 & B5
C4, C22 & C41
D4 & D5
E4,E5, E22,E23,E41 &E 42
On all other 'Caravan sheets' I want to clear the contents of cells
D4 & D5
E4, E5, E22, E23, E41 & E42
It would be icing on the cake if it could give a warning such as " are you sure you want to clear these cells" but that isn't really necessary. The worksheets will be password protected, but the cells mentioned above will not be. If it proves too difficult to clear all the cells on all the sheets with one click, then perhaps a simpler solution might be to have a button on each sheet instead

I've run into an issue working on a small project.
The project:
A workbook in which sheet 1 is a form for people to input into 2 adjacent columns time spent on different tasks at the end of each work week. Sheet 2 is identical to sheet 1, but has the intended purpose of storing the data input into the form in sheet 1.
There is a button at the bottom of the form in sheet 1 with an assigned macro that effectively transfers all the data to sheet 2 and then clears sheet 1 for another entry.
The issue:
I cannot get the data to transfer to the next available set of 2 adjacent columns in sheet 2. It keeps repopulating the first 2 columns.

This is all taking place in vb6 and excel 2003.
I am making a userform that is activated once the user highlights a bit of spreadsheet and clicks a button on the command bar, here is what I want it to do:
1. (copy data from the spreadsheet
this is tricky because I am trying to have it be a conditional situation where the user highlights a place on the spreadsheet and whatever that place is at the moment, it will get copied to a variable on the form.
There are 8 fields to highlight and copy, two with info that wont be copied onto the new spreadsheet but will be used to update fields and make the filename.)
2. make a new spreadsheet:
a. the filename is made from cell values in the 'from' and 'to' columns and the date.
b. new spreadsheet needs to have a template section from a7:f7 that has 4 fields that will be filled in from the fields on the form.
c. copied data is to be moved from old spreadsheet to new spreadsheet to cell a8. There should be 6 columns that will be filled with data.
3. on the form there will be a browse button to save the file in a location specified by user and 'last saved location' name should be saved to a textbox.
I read about a browse button here that I would like to use, but I have to adapt it so it can be used in the 'browse' button. [url]
I dont even know if it is possible to copy a user-specified range. It seems that it should be, because when a user highlights an area, that area is being held in memory as a position... I tried passing these values to another sheet but it wasnt successful. I tried to dim 'selection' as string and pass it into a variable, but I am new to variables and this project is a big experience for me in vb.
I also am still learning about how to make values in a field pass to another field on a spreadsheet.

I'm using Excel 2010 and my spreadsheet contains numbers in columns A:E and approx 500+ rows. Here is a 10 row example of my data:
A B C D E
0 1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8 9
0 2 4 6 8
1 3 5 7 9
1 2 4 5 8
3 4 5 6 9
9 8 1 2 3
7 6 1 4 0
0 8 2 1 9
1 0 5 3 2
I would like to count the number of consecutive times each number appears (to a max of 9 consecutive times in a row). So, from my example above:
Number 1 appears:
1 consecutive time = 1 (appears in row 1)
2 consecutive times = 1 (appears in rows 4 & 5)
3 consecutive times = 0
4 consecutive times = 1 (appears in rows 7, 8, 9 & 10)
Number 2 appears:
1 consecutive time = 4 (appears in row 1, row 3, row 5 & row 7)
2 consecutive times = 1 (appears in rows 9 & 10)
3 consecutive times = 0
4 consecutive times = 0
Number 5 appears:
1 consecutive time = 2 (appears in row 2 & row 10)
2 consecutive times = 0
3 consecutive times = 1 (appears in rows 4, 5 & 6)
4 consecutive times = 0
and so on....

I have lot of data in Excel 2010 which I wish to bring in Columns using a Macro depending on the input value which the macro should prompt me. For E.g.:
A1B1C1D1E1F1G1H1I1J1
12345678910
12345678910
12345678910
12345678910
12345678910
If I select data from A1 and J1 (in practical it will be more Columns) the Macro should prompt me how many Columns would be the output on Master Sheet. If the input is 2 then it should create an output Sheet "Master" and should show the following result
A1B1
12
12
12
12
12
34
34
34
34
34
56
56
56
56
56
.. ..
.. ..
It after selection I run the macro and input 3 then the output should go in three columns (A1,B1,C1) one below other. If 4 is Input then 4 Columns (A1,B1,C1,D1) will come below each other so on and so forth.

I'd like to apply multiple formula to a set of cells on a summary page. My summary page also contains 3 variable dropdowns, and I'd like to display data based on the text selected in those dropdowns (pulling data from 2nd tab "Variables")
The following formula works in the first instance:
=IF(AND(H4="Product Type A1", H6="External", H8="Existing"), Variables!C4, 0)
What I'm struggling to do is add additional formula to the same cell in order to deal with the remaining eventualities of the drop down variables:
Variable 1:
Product Type A1
Product Type A2
Product Type B1
Product Type B2
Variable 2:
Internal
External
Variable 3:
Existing
New
Or am I better using a VLOOKUP or something?

My business I work for is a collection agency and from time to time our clients send us files that are beyond recognizable for our collection software to understand nonetheless import into our database.
The file was a PDF at first but I have since been able to convert to excel format.
The data isn't too scrambled just scattered throughout rows. I would like to have rows of patient data into one row.
The file after being converted was all in row A but I have since used text to columns to divide into separate rows. However now one patient information is on multiple rows and I need each patient info on one row.
The file looks like:
|A---------|B-------|C----------|
1.John-----|Doe-----|123 Main St|
2.New York-|NY------|
3.11100----|SSN----|Balance Owed|
I would like the data from multiple rows to continue on row 1 like this:
|A--------|B-----|C------------|D----------|E--|F-----|G----|H-------------|
1.John----|Doe---|123 Main St.-|New York---|NY-|11100|SSN-|Balance Owed--|
I am no programmer in the least and have very little to no experience in pivot tables.
This file has about 7000 accounts with patient info spread through 3-4 rows for each set of data.
How I could go about doing this without manually copying and pasting into additional columns on the same row. That will take hours if not days.

Recently ran into this problem where when I select(highlight) multiple cells, it automatically copies the highlighted cells.
[URL]
This auto-copy also occurs periodically when I select(highlight) a single cell.
Notes:
1. I do not have a copy hotkey on my mouse, as this also happen when I use the trackpad.
2. This only happens in excel. When I select multiple items on my desktop, it does not auto copy.

Using Excel 2010.
Rows 1 and 2 (range: A1:CM2) within Spreadsheet X contain the range of data that I need.
Within Spreadsheet Y, Row 6 will change monthly and will be input by the user. The value in Row 6 equals the data in Row 2 in worksheet X.
I need to put a formula in row 4 of spreadsheet Y that returns the value of Row 1 in Spreadsheet X.
Unfortunately, I cannot change the spreadsheet layout, otherwise I could do an HLOOKUP formula using Spreadsheet Y Row 6 and Spreadsheet X Row 2 and be done with it. I assume that I need to use an Index-Match formula, which I am not as familiar with. In addition, all of the online support I have found explains Index-Match with data in columns, not rows.

I have a large amount of data that is from an events file. When I enter it into excel, it almost maxes out the row count (excel 2010) The data basically lists Event, Date/Timestamp, Call ID, and a few other details. Im trying to get a total of specific events and if they were successful or not, so the other columns arent of concern. For instance, there is an event called searchbyphone, a later row in the data will include searchresult found or notfound. The only way to pair these up is by the ID number which is unique per call.
So in the example below, ID 123-45-789a was a search by phone and successful (found). The Date/Time field is down to milisecond. If this were just adding up all the various events and then totalling the searchresult found/notfound, it would be simpler. However, Im only interested in certain events and found/notfound is used for many other events.
Using the data below, what is the best way to pull out an event (say the total number of searchby phone) and then know how many of those were found and not found (when the information needed is on 2 seperate rows and only the ID would be the same?)
To through a wrench into it, there can be several events with the same ID becasue the ID is unique to a call - a caller can search by a few variables. There will be the same amount of found/notfounds though with that ID. (meaning as a caller, I can do a few searches and all of these will be in the event file with the same ID) In this case, the number of requests (events) will match the number of results (found/not found).
What Im trying to accomplish is to get a total of searchbyphone found and not found, So in this example I would have searchbyphone found = 1 and searchbyphone notfound = 0.

I am trying to create a UserForm in Excel 2010 that will look for a part from our database (or on a specific Sheet, possibly a hidden sheet), then add specific data from that part's row into a new line.
More Specifically:
| Part # | Description | Category | SubCategory | Cost | Labor Hours | Weight | Etc |
I want to be able to input the Part #, and have it automatically add specified information to sheets 1 and 2 and those two differ. 1 is our Quote Sheet, and 2 is our bill of materials.
Also, I need each piece of information to go to a specific column (ex. Cost always goes to Column K)
What I have now is a broken UserForm that references a DOC file with a Table, but I need something a good but more complex.
Ideally, what I want is to have 4 ListBoxes where you choose Category --> SubCategory --> Make --> Model then have several CheckBoxes below that would determine whether to add a part (Cost, Labor, Weight).
The reason for this is because we have no need for the Cost or Labor Hours in our Bill of Materials, but need that information for our Quotes. And we generally don't need Specific Dimensions in our Quotes, but DO need them in the Bill of Materials...
Can I make it so that it will insert Pre-Specified information into both sheets at the same time?

We utilize large data sheets that can be as large as 300K in rows and 10 to 15 columns wide. Because of how we receive the data, we are forced to manipulate things so that all matching data for a record ends up on a single row. (e.g. Record#, Document Type, Husband Name, Wife Name, Wife Maiden Name, Etc.)
Right now here's how the data is received:
a
a
a
b
b
c
c
c
c
d
d
d
e
e
e
e
Using two vba scripts, we first separate the data with row spaces between the unique data as follows:
a
a
a
b
b
c
c
c
c
Then with another script, we transpose the data as follows:
a a a
b b
c c c c
d d d
e e e e
When we transpose the data, the end result starts at the top of the page and go down eliminating the original blank rows. Not a huge issue but I would like to be able to maintain the original data format of the rows so that the data matches the original sheet line for line. The end result would give me the data as follows...
a a a
b b
c c c c
d d d
e e e e e
where the vertical gaps between the letters matches the original rows. Like I said, not a huge issue since we can rejoin the transposed data to the original data fairly easily. But it would be nice if we could end up with the above format for speed sake.
The two scripts we use, one-to insert the rows and two-to transpose, take a very long time to run with the transpose script taking the longest by far. On a 30K row sheet, it will take on our systems around 30 minutes to transpose and about 15 minutes to insert rows. Because we have several columns that need to be transposed, a 30K row sheet will take at least 2 hours to complete. A 300K row sheet, that will take 10 to 15 hours to complete.
Is there any way to speed up the scripts either by upgrading to a faster CPU and or writing the scripts to preform faster?
My preferred solution would be to write (have) a formula to preform the transposition that gives me the results as noted above since formula's run so much faster than vba. Is this possible? I have tried all kinds of formulas and can not come close and of course the straight transpose function does not give me the solution I need as noted above.
I have enclosed an excel 2010 spreadsheet with 10K rows of data in rows along with the scripts I use (nothing sensitive here). The tabs at the bottom shows you the data before I transpose, then the data after it has been transposed . To speed up the scripts, I have stripped away the all the rest of the data from the original sheet except just what I need to transpose at one time. Once that is completed, we then re-join the transposed data with the original sheet. The six digit number you see to the far left of the data is the record ID number from the original data. We use this to rejoin the transposed data with the original data so that we know everything is back where it should be. (Note: The insert rows script is run on the original data and not the data you see on the enclosed spreadsheet. That is the only way we can generate unique rows with matching ID numbers. We arrive at this by taking the original data, concatenate the record ID with the column we want to transpose and add a # between the two so that we can break things back apart after the transposition using the text to column function using the # as the separator.)
The sheet I have attached is in the 2010 Macro Enabled format...(xlsm format). We use the xlsb (binary) format for the data to reduce the file size as our normal procedure and run the macros from inside that format. Changing from the xlsx to xlsb format did seem to speed up the scripts a bit and greatly improved the file performance as a whole e.g. saving and loading.
One thing I have done to speed up the scripts is to strip all the data away that is not needed for the transposition. That did work but only a marginal amount.
We are using windows 8.0 with 4G memory and your basic processor speed...e.g. nothing fancy.....just your basic stock computer. Nothing else unusual is installed or running on the computer or at the time the scripts are running.
For those of you that process large sheets, how much of a performance upgrade will we see in processing our scripts by either upgrading memory to 8G (or more or much more) and or getting a faster processor? Or have we reached the maximum script speed already? Or is this a limit to Excel.
One other issue to note: As I stated above, on the 30K row sheets, not a super problem with about 2 hours needed to run the scripts on all the data on the sheet. But on the 300K row sheets, it can take 12 or more hours to run and there are times when things 'lock up' running the scripts on sheets this size.

I am using Excel 2010 and need a macro that can convert data from rows to columns. I have read several posts about this subject but have no experience with macros and don't know how to change the macros to fit my scenario.
Here is what I currently have:
Account...Vehicle1...Loc1...Vehicle2...Loc2...Vehicle3...Loc3...Vehicle4...Loc4
11111......2008........FL
11111......2000........FL
12121......1999........GA
33222......2000........AL
33222......2011........AL
33222......2001........MS
Here is what I need it to look like:
Account...Vehicle1...Loc1...Vehicle2...Loc2...Vehicle3...Loc3...Vehicle4...Loc4
11111......2008.......FL.......2000........FL
12121......1999.......GA
33222......2000.......AL.......2011........AL......2001.......MS
There are up to 4 vehicles/locations per account number, and I need 1 account number per row (the dots above are for spacing only and not part of the actual data).
I could do this manually but because I have so many rows of data it could take days or weeks. Is there a macro out there that can do this??
