I am having a problem filtering information within mulitple columns. I do not understand how the advanced search works either, so let me try to explain what is going on. I would post a pic of the table to make it easier to understand if I knew how to.I have thousands of rows in Column A with information, for this scenario a number. Thing is that all these numbers are seperated by many blank rows.
Ex: Row 1 has a number, Rows 2-10 are blank, Row 11 has a number, Rows 12-24 are blank, etc. Over in Column C, for every row that has a number in Column A, there is a corresponding number in Column C followed by Rows of numbers. ex: Row 1 Column A has corresponding information in Rows 1-10 of Column C.If this is clear, understand that this repeats for tens of thousands of lines. When I am looking for a specific number in Column A, I do a filter for just that number.
When that happens, it only brings up the info from that same row in Column C. I need the filter to bring up all ten rows of info in Column C that correlate to the row I filtered in Column A. I know the easiest way is to label all the rows in column A with the same number, but the reason the blanks are in place is so it is easier to read the breaks between the different information.
I have worksheet A with cell AC2 to enter a team id# like 51922 for example. In Cell B3 I want it search sheet11 for the team name according to the number and put the team name in B3. Sheet11 has 11 columns the first one list the 613 team names, the remaining columns have #'s like the example giving for the teams. What formula would I need to perform this function?
This is a football game the other 10 columns represents 10 worlds with identical 613 teams to control in each world, but the teams have different #'s to identify the world, team, and coach.
I have data that I copy from one sheet and move it to another. If I know I'm parsing data that may vary in amount of line items but will always be across 3 columns is there a way to parse this data evenly.
for example: I would like to look in column "D" and if there is an "A" I would like to parse cells A,B,C in that row to sheet 2 and parse this information evenly across 3 columns evenly across columns "A,E, I" In my example the data is only 21 rows of information the problem I have is evenly parsing this information.
Is it possible to automatically have columns repeat through all sheets in a workbook? I keep an annual book, broken down by sheets for each month. I always have to add 5 columns to each sheet, and was wondering if there was an easier way..?
I have 1000's of rows of data and 8 of the columns are reserved to tag possible defects. All 8 columns pull from the same drop down list of all possible defects. I have 8 columns set aside because a row may contain multiple defects.
What I want to do is look up a single defect (ie "scratches") within all 8 columns. See my attached simplified example. If I filter column B for scratches, the scratched part in row 4 will be ignored. Can I apply a filter across multiple columns?
I am staffing an upcoming event with volunteers and I want to be able to a single volunteer across their various shifts and locations. However, I cannot guarantee that a particular volunteer will always be in the same column on my spreadsheet so AutoFilter doesn't do the trick. I've tried using Advanced Filter options as well, but I either can't seem to get it to work or it won't work with strings.
I've attached a sample of the type of document I'm working in (genericized) so hopefully my below questions will make more sense.
Ideally, I'd like to be able to be able to search/filter for Joe and see rows 2 and 3 appear. Is this possible?
Additionally, I'd like to know who is also on shift together. For example, is there a way to search for Tony and Sarah together and have row 5 appear. I know that I can do this now with filtering column 2 and then 3, but the real document I'm using is over 800 rows long (very big event!) and using progressive filtering would take longer than I'd like.
Well we are trying to fetch some data using excel filters. But we are unable to apply filter simultaneously on two excel columns. The problem is explained in the attached sheet. If you have any query/doubt in understanding the whole problem then writ it.
I have a spreadsheet with multiple columns. The first column defines a "route", and the next two list "start" and "end" cities for that route. The fourth column lists the length of each route. There are only a limited number of cities, so the same entries appear in both "start" and "end" several times. I would like to use Autofilter to sort the list for every appearance of a given entry in either "start" or "end". Is there a way to make Autofilter sort mutiple columns simultaneously?
I could achieve the desired end result with Advanced Filter, but I want something with the ease-of-use and immediate update/response of Autofilter. Advanced Filter requires explanation (as well as lots of clicking and typing) whereas Autofilter is self-evident. I also want to avoid VBA Macros as they are not well-understood by the users who will use this spreadsheet (and any VBA Macro will require very specific input to work properly.) Is it possible to do what I want? Or is Advanced Filter / VBA the only way to do it?
I have a very large table and i need to be able to Hide/show specific ranges based on:
Filter +and+ specific cell values in columns
brief example of the table : tablee.png
So... 1. Filter Column "B" (in this case we select "HELPING") 2. Auto hide/show collumns. - IF "C1" = "Required" THAN Show "C:E", IF "C1" ="N/A" , HIDE "C:E" and so on for every column like above.
There are over 80 columns like the "C:E" range. and I only need to show those that are "Required".
I have been struggling hard to pull information out of a table using vlookup and match & Index functions. It does not seem to be working. Below is my criteria:
I have a data of call centre agents with names , dates and calls offered answered details. On another sheet i have given a list of names of agents in a drop down list and all the dates of the week. Now i want that when a user selects a particular agent name from the drop down list, the data fetched under '07042014' date column is against the number of calls answered by the selected agent on this date. I have 5 columns of title '07042014' , '08042014', '09042014', '10042014' and '11042014' Capture.PNG. Attach is the file how it looks like.
How to use match and index function or any other function to fetch information against this date as per the agent selected.
In column A I have various part numbers with alph-numeric characters. In column B I have a similar list. In column C I have the quantities for the part numbers in column B.
What I need is for say a macro or forumla to look at each part in column A and match it with the part in column B and in column D insert the appropriate quantity from column C.
I'm not sure if this falls under say a filter, extraction or search type of function.
I have a large itemised call bill that i need to do some regular analysis on and wondered if I could automate most of it.
In column C is a list of mobile numbers, in column F the numbers they called (this is an itemised bill so each line represents one call, meaning each number has multiple rows) finally in column K is the cost of each call.
I want the macro to look through column F (number called) and if there are less than 5 instances of that number that are under 0.30 each in cost to be deleted.
Example: if in column F the number 07500 100100 appeared once with a cost of 0.29 I want it deleted but if it appears 6 times with an accumulated cost of 3.50 i.e. more than 0.30 per call averaged out, then i want it to remain on the sheet
I'm trying to build is a master Excel sheet for a company-wide budget tracker, where our supply person enters in information on individual orders. Those orders would be broken down in separate worksheets based upon department.
So, let's say you have three departments. Each department has an identifier code (Human Resources would have HR, Operations would have OP, and Research & Development would have RD.) Each order number is prefixed with the department's code, then the other columns deal with dates ordered and received, cost of the order, and any notes on the order.
What I'd like to be able to do is to have each order be automatically filtered out to secondary worksheets, based upon which department the order belonged to.
I have seen a macro that allowed one to push a button and break data out like that, but the problem is that it created new worksheets each time, and I want the department worksheets to stay the same (since each of those can expect to have starting budget figures updated by the supply officer.)
Is there a way to edit my database located on sheet 1 using the advanced filter (output) on sheet 2?
I have a gigantic database and I want to filter it down to the rows I need to edit.. so I used advanced filter to extract the rows I need on to another sheet. But if I edit the rows on sheet 2 how do I makes those changes reflect on sheet 1 (the full database)
I have 2 workbooks (workbook1 & workbook2). Information in column A and column N must match both workbooks per row/ cell (ie. if A2 and N2 in workbook1 match workbook2, copy information from 3 other columns (S, T, U from from workbook1 into workbook2 - cells S2, T2, U2). Workbook2 may have information in column S, T, U, but I need to over-write it with the information from workbook1. If the information does not match per that row/cell (ie. A2 in both worksheets are the same, but N2, they are not, so go to the next line that does match and copy the information into worksheet2). I do not want to use a V- lookup for this problem. I really need a marco.
How do I filter multiple columns of information with the use of one dropdown arrow?
see the attached picture (jpg.) for a visual representation of exactly what I am trying to achieve. Excel Filtering.jpg
I have also attached an Excel Filtering Example spreadsheet for use in explaining how to create this type of stacking filter. Excel Filtering Example.xlsx
I am unsure if this was answered already but I am having a lot of trouble. I am trying to find out if it is possible to count the number of entries in one column if it meets criteria in another comlumn?
Here is my problem: I work for a contractor and I am trying to find out the number of contracts sold(column J) by Mike (Column K). I have tried =COUNTIFS functions but these dont work. I know if I create 4 other columns with IF functions I can get the information but I have to imagine there is another way.
I have two very long columns of client names. The columns represent reports that were run at different times on the same information.
What I want to do is merge the two clomuns. The issue is that there are many names that are the same but some that are different. Is there a way that you can merge the info. So it ignores the client names that are the same but auto adds the ones that are new. There are financials in other columns that I want to have come along during the merger.
I have the following code below, im not sure how to modify it to make it only search 2 columns of information, how can do this?
Private Sub CommandButton3_Click() Dim StrFindWhat As Range Dim NextCell As Range Dim WhatToFind As Variant
WhatToFind = Application.InputBox("Please enter the Application or Service you want to search for?", "Search", , 500, 80, , , 2) If WhatToFind "" And Not WhatToFind = False Then For Each oSheet In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets oSheet.Activate oSheet.[b4].Activate.....................
I have a list of 2500 companies. In each cell there is the company name, street address, and phone number. And of course, each one is of varying length. I need a way to put the company name, street address, and phone numbers in seperate columns. I tried going to text to columns but it wouldn't work due to the varying lengths.
I have a list of names with blank cells in Column A cell 2.
I want the programme to scroll through this column until it finds a name, when it does I want it to look in cell offset(1, 1), in this case B3 to see if there is a number. I want this number to be moved to offset (0, 1) AND any subsequent numbers below it until the next blank cell in that column (B).
In the attached image cell B2 will contain all numbers in cells B3:B9 with a / between them. Cell B10 will have number from B11 and B12 will have B13:B15. If there is no number it will just continue to the next name in column A. My rough code below delivered the first number only in the relevant cell and I'm not clever enough to get it right. It does not have to be super slick as it's for one time use.
I need numbers in column B cleared as they are concatenated into the single cell.
I have a spreadsheet that contains overtime information for employees. Basically, it has a list of names in column A, and a list of projects in the first row, similar to this:
Name 100323 100887 100987 100987 Sum
[Code]....
At the top of the page I've inserted a section similar to this:
Name Project Number # Of Hours
SMITH, John 100883 5
Where the name and project number are drop down data validation lists containing all of the project numbers and employees at our facility, and the # of hours section is just a manual entry.
I require a macro that, upon clicking a button, will verify that the name is in the list and insert a row if there isn't as well as verify the project is in the row and insert a column it isn't.. then it will add the number of hours i specified in the box. It would also be nice if the list of names would sort alphabetically and the project numbers would sort numerically from left to right after any additions. As well as clear the selections and # of hours I entered in the second table shown above once everything has been entered in to the main (first) table.
I'm pretty new to creating my own macros (even though im an engineer.. )
I am trying to sort/filter the information by columns but I need the information in each row to stay together for instance...
1 2 3 4 5 2 3 4 5 1 3 4 5 1 2 4 5 1 2 3 5 1 2 3 4
I need to sort the numbers in column 3 in ascending order or filter them but i need the entire row to move when sorted so it needs to look like this
4 5 1 2 3 5 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 5 2 3 4 5 1 3 4 5 1 2
I am using the list function to sort and filter the data in the columns but when i try to sort them in ascending order i get....
1 2 1 4 5 2 3 2 5 1 3 4 3 1 2 4 5 4 2 3 5 1 5 3 4
I don't know how to write formulas or VBA's or anything but am willing to try.
Is it possible to sort the data and get a result like the second set of data? and is there an easy way to make this fool proof so people that use the spreadsheet will not mess up the data?
I have a 5 row list in WA2. Each row holds its data across 3 columns i.e A1description, B1 product code, C1 unit cost. In WA1 I want to have a drop down table in cell B3 that looks at this range and then populates this information into B3, C3 and C4. I have tried data validation but it keeps telling me that it can only look at a single row or single column
I have a feeling the answer to this will be 'no' based on the searching I've done, but is it possible to allow formatting of rows/columns on a protected worksheet, yet prevent the user from unhiding some rows/columns I don't want them to see? I've allowed them to format rows/columns so they can "size" them to fit the text they enter, but that has opened up the ability for them to unhide columns. Using Shrink To Fit would be cumbersome due to the number of cells involved.
Is there a known method for filtering (across) columns in the same way Excel filters (down) rows? Prefer a non-Pivot Table, non-Data/Transpose solution.
