Filter Out Unique Records
Jan 8, 2008
I have a very basic table of customers. In one column there is duplicate data. I guess in most cases an Excel user would only want to filter the table to show the unique records only. In my case I want to do it the opposite way round, to delete the unique records so I have multiple occurrences of strings that appear in that one column. I've used the "Conditional Formatting" trick, which is great = COUNTIF($G$1:$G$44000,G1)>1 highlights all of the strings that appear more than once. What I'd like to do from there though is to either just have that data, and to remove the unique records.
Either that, or.. is there some way to have a field/column which shows "True" or "False" if such a string has appeared more than once in a column. Auto Merged Post;I forgot to mention.. the reason I'd want a column of "True" and False" would be because then I'd have the ability to sort/group the data into all the recurring records and all the unique ones. I'd then be able to do away with the unique ones by just copying the recurring ones.

I know how to use an Advanced Filter to sort for Unique Records Only and copy them to a new column, but I am looking for a way to do this automaticly everytime I update my worksheet.
I have a worksheet that populates an e-mail distribution list based on what you imput. Some e-mails are duplicates and I would like to eliminate them automatically before I Concatenate them into a single cell.
I imagine this could be easily done using VBA, but I am not firmiliar with writing any code so it is above my head.

A worksheet has a column named "Grade". There are may entries into this column, and most are used multiple times. I'd like a list in another location (to use in a list box on a user form) that contains all of the unique entries in the "Grade" column.
I know how to do the Advanced filter for unique records, but when I add different grades to the column, the filtered list does not update to reflect the addition. Do I need to run a macro to run the filter after every new entry?

I'm having a problem deleting duplicates from list in excel. I’ve attached a sample. I’ve tried the following:
1-Advanced Filter, Unique Records Only
2-Remove Duplicates function in Excel 07.
3-Pivot Table
4-Colour Conditional Formatting, sorting by colour
5-B2=IF(A2=A3,”Dup”,”Not-Dup”). The entire column returns “Not-Dup”
6-I’ve tried to resolve using the fix shg & teylyn suggested to Hillto in this thread, but am unable to get the ‘Numeric’ Keypad to appear in the ‘Find’ Function.

I have been modifying a workbook and the original macro will send to the sheet Results once the "Search" button is clicked, but I have found that this macro is displaying duplicate records. Can anyone help me put in an auto filter to find only unique records? My second workaround option is if someone can help me remove the go to/select sheet option from the "Search" macro so that a user will not automatically be sent to the Results tab and will instead hit the "Confirm Category Selection" button (which auto filters before sending the user to the Results tab).

If you navigate on the file menu in the excel window to: Data>Filter>Advanced Filter
Then select:
Copy to New location, Unique records only. You can arrive at the macro

How can I FILTER a range and display the unique items, one below the other, WITHOUT blank cells - with only a FORMULA. What I came up with is shown in the attached WB. I would like to present the countries like in C11:C15.

We have our new employees fill out a form with name, address, tax info, etc. each week. (They all do it at the same time.) I then get 20 PDFs and export all the data to a CSV. We now want to import that CSV into our payroll software. However, the payroll software requires a unique ID for each employee.
So, we'll have this CSV each Monday, and each Monday, I need to "continue" the unique ID. So if this past Mondays started with 1000 through 1020, then next week, when I export, I want to start those records at 1021 and end at 1040. Then the following Monday, 1041-1060, etc.
Is there a way I can keep a record of what IDs are used and continue from that point each week?

I am working on a data integration and have transactional data sets with multiple columns of data. In reviewing the data, I can see that based on values in 2 different columns, I can identify unique transaction records. The data is already sorder by transaction # and date. Creating a pivot table gives me back summary info for header records (I can get unique header records based on a concatenation of the trx # and Date), but I am having a difficulty obtaining uniqueness for the line items. The id that I created for purposes of header record summation means nothing from a user standpoint and I need to come up with more meaningful info.
What I have and what I want is...:
Tranaction#DateWhat I want is…15801911/23/2005015801911/23/2005015801911/23/2005015801911/22/2005115801911/22/2005115801911/22/2005115801911/22/2005115801911/22/2005115801912/12/2005215801912/12/20052
If I can get the data defined like that, then I can concatenate the trx# and the increment to block out the transactions into individual transactions.

I have downloaded data to an excel spreadsheet by day and need to calculate the unique records by day. Then all the daily totals should equal the monthly total if I ran the same date range for the month by removing the duplicates to get the unique records.

I have a formula for counting unique text records. However, is it possible to count unioque records based on certain conditions. For example, I have a stats sheet for a sports league and I want to count all the unique teams for dsivision 'North'. Coloumn A has the division, coloumn B has the team they played on that day.
I want to count all the unique records in column B, but based on those teams being in the 'North Division' (column A)
I want to do this with Excel, and not in VBA.
My formula for finding unique records is:

I am new to to VB Scripting, filter the records. In the attached file there are multiple records which needs to be filtered. Once all the records are filtered, i want to delete the entire row of that record(s). I want to filter column 'F' with the values mentioned in Sheet2. I tried recording a macro, but it is not allowing me to do so as the macro has some limitations. The search and delete row loop The main purpose is to delete the row of the value, if not found, move on to next value in Sheet2.

I have a challenge when using autofilter.
In the attached file I have sales reps with sales numbers.
I found out from Ozgrid to use subtotal formule in C2 to sum only lines visible. Ozgrid, thx a lot for that input.
However, in cell C3 I want to count number of records, but when filtering sales rep "A", then formula "counta" still counts all records, i.e. 27.
What formula should I use to count only visible records, e.g. 7 records for sales rep "A"?

I have a spreadsheet with two sheets. One with car sales on and 1 with cars that have been sold on.
In the sheet that contains cars if a car has been sold i type sold in the price field and move it to the sold sheet. This is done by cut and paste. This is very time consuming as you can imagine.
Is there a way i can create some sort of if function that when i click a button searches for all records that have the word sold in it and moves it to the correct sheet?

I am trying to populate a tab with all the unique values from a data table. For example, list all the SKUs, SKU Names, Buying Groups, etc. for "Owl Filled Candles" on the "COLLECTION - SKU" tab. For reference, the "VENDOR - SKU" tab works perfectly. I want the COLLECTION tab to do the same thing as the VENDOR tab. The only difference is the VENDOR-SKU tab is pulling data based on a Vendor's name in a drop-down list in B3 and the COLLECTION tab is pulling data based on the Collection name in a drop-down list in B3.
I tried to just copy the tab and reset the reference cells but that isn't working.

I would like to place a formula in cells A2 down that does a running count of unique combinations of columns B and C.
For example, the first record is a white dog, so at that point there is 1 category of dog, next is a brown dog, so there there is now 2 categories etc.
I initially tried to adapt an array formula 1/COUNTIF($B$2:$B8,$B$2:$B8) but this wont quite do the trick.

How can I quickly get the total number of employees from a list like this one? the first field is a unique key (1 code per employee)
In this case, the desired result would be 6. (the count function does NOT give the desired result..)

At the moment i am having great trouble taking two sets of records, comparing the two based on certain criteria and then extracting any records (rows) that do not appear twice, that is unique records.
So here it is:
I have two lists of sales.
1. our list from our point of sale system with order numbers and other details, entered by the sales agent.
2. the company that provides the products we sell for them sends us a list of these sales back to us from their end so we can see outcomes of these sales, that is the progress of the order, like cancelled, accepted, etc
The two lists need to be compared to see what sales are missing from either one..
so, I could colour the second list RED and the first list GREEN and add the second list underneath the first list (on the same sheet) and then sort by ORDER NUMBER, which would provide a red, green, red, green, red, etc pattern and i could easily identify sales that are unique, but there are so many thousands of sales this manual process is impossible.
IS THERE A WAY TO AUTOMATICALLY COMPARE THESE TWO LISTS BASED ON ORDER NUMBER AND SHOW ONLY THE RECORDS THAT ARE UNIQUE? THAT IS, GET RID OF SALES THAT APPEAR TWICE AND LEAVE ONLY RECORDS THAT I HAVE TO LOOK INTO WHY THEY ARENT ON BOTH SALES SHEETS...
Here is an example of the data i am using:
ORDER #
1630923-
1634849..
1634849..
1634972+
the numbers do NOT have the .. - or + next to them, thats just there to show you what list each is from.
so as you can see the order numbers with ".." next to them are reconciled, in that they have a partener record and do not need to be shown at all..
and the order numbers with "-" next to them are from our list
and the order numbers with "+" next to them are from THEIR list
i want to end up with a list like this:
ORDER #
1630923
1634972
1635643
1641970
1648112
1649716
1653854

Is it possible to count the unique entries in a range based on the results of a filter that has been applied? I basically have a column with 2000+ cells that contain some matching values and I only want to count the unique entries. This will need to be a dynamic count as well as the filter criteria can and will change all the time.

As the title says, I need to count the number of unique records (names) in column A, where column L is = to something specific (X,Y,Z,W, whatever) for some statistics im trying to report.
Please see the attached spreadsheet. For role X statistics, I need a count of the unique names from col A, where col L = X. Based on my sample spreadsheet, the number should be 2. For Role Y, it should be 3.
There is the potential for spaces in the rows, and no one will be 'cross role'
I've got a few different methods to just count unique values with specific criteria in the same column, but I just can't make anything work for specific criteria in another column.

I have a single excel data sheet with 10 rows of header information and then multiple rows and columns of data
I need to extract the 10 rows of header data plus the rows for each unique record in Col A into its own separate worksheet, with the work sheet name being the unique record from Col A
To further add to the challenge, the data in col A may have "/" in so will not comply with excel sheet naming convention so would like an error message to remind me to manually change a sheet name.
I attach an dummy data sheet just to show what I mean!
