Extracting Specific Data From Large Spreadsheet
May 22, 2014
I have a large spreadsheet which contains multiple rows of rate data by employee. I have sorted by effective date with most recent date on the top to get the most recent rate of pay, however, is there a way or formula to be able to identify or extract the previous rate of pay after that? I have included a sample below. There are different #'s of rows of rate of pay based on how long someone has been in company, as well as different rates of pay and effective dates.
Employee #
Name
Rate of Pay
Eff Date
655220

I work with Excel 2010 and have a very large spreadsheet with data that I need to manipulate in several different ways. I have been filtering and then cutting and pasting but this is very time consuming . Is there a way to extract specific data from the spreadsheet and transfer it to different worksheets? I don't really know how to use macros.

I have a very large spreadsheet that was exported from an ecommerce site with close to 1000 products. I have one column that I need to extract some text from. This column holds all of the html from the product description and is huge. I only need to extract the actual description of the product, but am having a very hard time figuring out how to do it. I've tried using the mid, left, and right function; but not all of the html is the same so it's not really working the way I need it to.
I have multiple tags throughout the html that I can use with the mid function, but there is more than one occurrence of them. So, how can I tell it to start at the 4th occurrence? I've spent countless hours searching, but I'm a complete novice when it comes to excel and I don't even know what to search for. I end up looking through sites that explain how to pull the Y out of XYZ, which is what I need, just on a much larger (and more complicated) scale.
It was suggested that I set up a macro that will find the 4th occurrence of the word, and then uses the mid function to pull the data out, but when I try to find the word, it says it doesn't exist even though I can see it right in front of me.

I am creating a spread sheet with a large amount of data.
In column a I have a list of managers, in B I have a list of employees and C, I have a list of activities that have been recorded throughout the day.
What I want to do is create a list (on a new sheet) so in column A that would bring back all the managers. Then in column B, bring back the employee that is tied to the manager from column A and finally in column C, bring back the activity that is tied to the employee.
I know how I can do this by doing list validation with INDIRECT, but with the large amount of data that I have this would take forever in a day.
Is there an easier and quicker way to do this?

I have a large spreadsheet which I need to split into individual workbooks by reference to a particular column.
Rather then doing this manually and splitting the data out one at a time - I would like a macro to do this for me.
I am a novice excel user.

I have a sheet where each row contains the name of a customer and should also have an 8 digit account number, all in one Column. Some do not contain the account number. Is there away of extracting the account number to a new sheet/column? The account number will always be 8 characters and will contain letters and numbers, the letters in the account number will always be UPPERCASE

I'm using Excel 2007 and I'm looking for a way to extract certain records/rows from a table and to have that data copied to another area of the spreadsheet. I actually want to extract Invoice amounts according to a specific account number so that I eventually end up with all the invoices for a particular client on another tab so that they can be printed out as a kind of client statement.
I know there are ways to filter and then copy the records/rows to another tab but I want it to be automated as far as possible. What I really want to do is to "pull" the records into a new tab by using some kind of formula in the cells where I want the data rather than having to copy it there. I know how to sum data for this kind of thing but what I'm really struggling on here is being able to "Display all the records in a seperate area" first before I eventually add formulas to sum.
I don't mind the records being coppied if the process is automated but don't really want to get into macros as writing macros isn't my strong point.
I've tried using "VLOOKUP" but it will only return values for the first data item it finds (Account number in my case), whereas I really need it to continue to return values for the data item it finds if there are multiple instances of it!

I have a complex data set that has been imported into Excel from a binary data file and I am looking for a way to simply pull out specific fields. I tried to record a Macro that would simply delete the rows between the data rows I want to keep, but it always references itself to those same ranges and I'm not sure how to identify that I want it to sequentially move down the page deleting the same number of rows, and adding the row of information I want to keep as it goes.

What I am trying to do is to automate a copy-and-paste situation for literally a few thousand items. I am creating .xml files for a scenery builder library for MS Flight Simulator, and unfortunately there isn't an application specifically for FS scenery that will import the data I have and export it into the format I need. In other words, I need to create a form in Excel into which I can automate the importation of data from text files (such as in the first example below) to populate fields (as in the second example), and later create a new text file from the compiled data.
This is an example of the format of the data I need to import:
C3745848A201404D875D85A92A7CFA0C Shell
C3745848A201404D875D85A92A7CFA0D Texaco
C3745848A201404D875D85A92A7CFA0E TAG HEUER

What I want to know: Is is possible to have information from one spreadsheet move specific data to another spreadsheet in the same workbook?
for example: I have hundreds of listings of tool measurements.
Date Tool type Measurements
What I want to do is have all the different types of tools and the information from the above line seperated into other spreadsheets. I do not want to sort this information and manually move it I want a formula that will move each applicable tool into that sub sheet. I have tried to use if statements but find that it creates subsheets with the correct tool types but has the spaces in between the parts. how do I eliminate the spaces?

I have data on Sheet2 and would like to only copy all rows associated with column D2 to the Sheet3. For example Sheet2 has two different values Voice or Data I would like to copy all rows associated with column D that contains voice to Sheet3.

I have a spreadsheet that I have variable data in and I want to transfer specific parts of the workbook into a Word doc.
Not a problem with the Excel part, I can select each and every cell that I want, copy them and then...
Recording a macro hasn't done the trick as the code I have only copies and doesn't paste. I know I can edit the code to open Word but the problem is that when in Word, the data needs to go to very specific places, some of it goes in the header, most goes in the main body, I can't see how this could be done as there are no cell refs as in Excel!
is it possible to paste to say halfway in a sentence, in a macro?

I need to be able to convert a large spreadsheet to pdf for sending to a commercial printer. The spreadsheet is a family tree and covers an area a1 to ca107. The printers normally do the conversion from an emailed copy of the .xls file but charge for this.
Printing will be done on a wide carriage printer so the pdf has to be one sheet not a large number of a4. I have a copy of Acrobat but cannot work out how to get the spreadsheet to save as one sheet.

I have created a sample spreadsheet (the real data is sensitive) but I am basically faced with a spreadsheet of many columns of which I would like to remove the 4th,5th, 8th,9th, 12th, 13th etc...
So every 3rd column starting from Column B, and also every 3rd starting from Column C, (every 3rd, and every 3rd + 1 starting from B?), it's obvious what I'm after from the spreadsheet I've provided.
Unfortunately manually isn't an option, this needs doing every week, and it goes all the way across to column HZ!

I have multiple large spreadsheets of questionnaire data. Responses are as %'s
What I would like to do is use conditional formatting to pick out the top 3 of each set of questions per column not including 0% (if it falls in the top 3). Using different shades of green in the cell background and a white font.
so.....
The spreadsheets are up to 3000 rows long and up to column BB wide. The sets of questions are of random length spaced by an empty row. So question 1 may have 11 parts to it, each taking up a row so 12 rows in total. Question 2 may have 5 parts taking up row each so 6 rows in total...............Question 80 may have 7 parts so 8 rows in total and on and on.
What I have been doing is working down the first column of responses and manually adding the conditional formatting. Then using the format painter to copy across the relevant rows and columns. For example if Question one was from c5:bb26 I would format c$5:c$26 with the top three then use format painter to drag across to bb5:bb26 ...

I have a large spreadsheet with over 50 columns. Many colleagues use the sheet and often use the format, hide, column function to hide columns they do not need but then the next user has to unhide them and re-hide others until they are left with the different columns they require.
Is there anyway of creating a menu which allows users to select from a list of all the columns those they wish to display, all the others therefore being hidden.

I'm have Excel 2010 and Windows XP. Each week I get 3 spreadsheets and each has data unique to it. Each spreadsheet has a week number column which is common to all three. I want to combine the three worksheets into one and make create several dynamic charts for management. How should I organize a large spreadsheet? In addition to my week number I have a host of other date fields. Some of the data I get is (1) vehicle VIN numbers (2) City/State/Country (3a) I break up the VIN to give me vehicle type (3b) year of assembly (3c) car type (3d) number of doors (4) mileage (5) complaint (7) defect code etc. etc. What are the do's and don't when setting up a large spreadsheet? I have data by week which goes back to 2006 and so my date fields go top-down. I inherited the three spreadsheets and would like everything under one roof, so to speak. One spreadsheet which I can make my charts.

I have a spreadsheet that contains product images in cells in column A. In the matching cell in column B there are product codes. I would like to be able to "batch/bulk" save these images and label them by the corresponding product.
Is this possible. Or is there a different way around this issue.

I've encountered another error when trying to run this macro to extract images from a spreadsheet. As the macro is running during the process it has stopped and I get the runtime error "1004": "Methid "Publish" of object "PublishObject" failed.
When I Debug it highlights the text below.
Sub Test()
Dim Folder As String
Dim Pic As Picture
Dim FileName As String
[Code]....
Alternatively if I click "End" it opens an extra excel window and displays an image from the original sheet. With the workbook labelled as the product code.

I have a directory folder with an active workbook and another workbook id like to copy data from. The Following macro opens up a file in the same directory, copies some data and pastes it in the active workbook. However with this code I have to specify the filename, 'Data.xlsm' in the example code. I would like it to copy data from the only other workbook in the current directory WITHOUT having to specify the name in the code, so just opening it up no matter what filename it has.
In addition I would like to extract the filename from the workbook im copying data from and paste it into the activewoorkbook in sheet 1 Cell A1. I had a look at getopenfilename function but cant seem to make it work for my purpose.

I have a large spreadsheet (1000-plus entries) that all have about 10 or 15 columns of information (product title, product number, etc).
I also made a form that I want to use as a master form, where all the titles will not change.
What I am wanting to do is, by going off the product number, when you click it, this pre-made master form will pop up, and all the information that was located on the large spreadsheet for this product number will be inserted where it is designated to be on the master form.
While I could probably do something like this through Access, we need to keep it on Excel, and in the same workbook so that it will automatically update things once I put a new number or input onto the large spreadsheet.

i have some large reports that i get each day and have to sort into date time order and only keep the newest occurance based on column 2
at the moment i have a vba that converts the list to space delimetd columns, then selects all sorts into date time order, then deletes dupliactes as of column 2 keeping the most recent,
is there a more efficient way just to keep the most recent occurance and removing the rest
example file. so the 2nd row would be what i am left with

I have inherited a series of Word reports containing links to charts in several Excel files. I can tell by the link in Word that one of the charts is named 'Chart 6'. Is there an easy way to locate which chart in the Excel file is 'Chart 6' (and on and on for all of the other charts linked in the Word doc)? There are upwards of 21 charts in each Excel file linked to each of the Word reports. I am using 2007 but the files are in 2003 format because of limitations of the program from which the data comes for the charts.

I have a very large spreadsheet that is a consolidation of approximately 105 separate of contacts lists. The new consolidated spreadsheet contains demographic data, and a column for the name of each of the 105 lists. Each contact in the consolidated list had an "X" placed in the column if they were a member of that particular list. Each contact can be in more than one list. This is not very useful for me.
Here's a visual representation of the current list along with what I need:
FName
LName
Address
Phone
City
List1
List2
List3
List4
List5
List6
[Code] .....
I would like to add a column to the spreadsheet and call it "Source"
And then have a macro or VB script to do the following:
1. As shown above, put the column name (ie "List2") in the "Source" column whenever there is an "X" in that row for the corresponding Column.
2. Because each contact can be in more than one list, I need to append the column names so that "Source" column contains all of the column names (Lists) that had an "X"
3. Once all of the list names have been added to the "Source" column, I will delete the list columns.

I have a large order spreadsheet with 3 date related columns. One for customer requested delivery date, one for factory quoted delivery date and one for actual delivery date.
I want to be able to set something up that if it gets near either the requested or quoted delivery date (by say a week), that the cell flags red so it's a visual reminder to check whether the order has been dispatched etc.
