Filtering A LONG List To Entries In A Shorter List
Nov 10, 2008
I have a list of email aliases for my company, approx 10,000 entries, mapping the alias to an email address. Two columns, one the alias firstname.surname, second column being the full email address. I have a second list, a subset of these aliases, approx 1200 of them, that are users of a particular web app. All i have in this list though, is the firstname.surname bit.
What I need to do is compare the lists, and where the aliases match I need to pull out the corresponding full email address from the long list, so I have 1200 aliases in the shorter list, with the full email address mapped to it. Is this possible in excel? i've tried all sorts of LOOKUP functions, and MATCH functions, but none seem to work. MATCH will give me the corresponding row number in the long list, but then it seems to offset itself every row it goes down, so the values are 1 out for every row. First row is good, second row -1, third row -3, fourth row -4 etc.
I don't want to have to manually go through 1200 entries and match them against a 10,000-entry list. Hopefully there's a quick way in excel to filter the long list down to the entries specified in the short list?

I am trying to create a sub-list from a master list based on a column criteria.
Basically, we have a large group of people that are now being split into 3 different sub groups, but still part of the whole. I would like to only upkeep the master list by assigning one of 3 managers to each employee and then having Excel place the employee's info (5 columns) into a seperate worksheet based on the manager assigned (3 seperate worksheets, one for each manager). I have searched through books and Excel help, but still cannot find any formula that can return multiple lines based on one criteria. Am I out of luck and forced to maintain this database with an Auto Filter and manually moving/copying the info?

I need to consolidate these two lists of data into one list.
First set is just a basic list of individuals with their data.
Second set is multiple entries for those same individuals. Each entry shows a subscription to a programme. The final single sheet should have one row per individual which shows all of the programmes they are subscribed to.
See attached, example sheet.
The real list is 3000 IDs, so need some kind of formula to do this.

I have two lists of product data, one for buyers and one for sellers (these are listed as A, B, C). The product names are not exactly the same (Eg Playstation and playstation three should be matched), I would have thought using the FuzzyLogic add in to match these would be the way forward! I need to rank the sellers by how many of their items appear on the buyers list

Ok, so lets say i have one list of names (cell:value)
A1:Value 1
A2:Value 2
....
An:Value n
and create a new list
F1:Value 1
F2:Value 2
....
Fn:Value n
I want to have a list nearby and i'd like somehow for a function that will remove entries that already exist on the first list.

I am trying to sort a fairly long list of tasks into a custom calendar order. I have created the custom list as Sept, Oct, Nov, Dec, Jan etc through to Aug, with one additional heading of "Recurring". The list won't seem to sort by the column where these headings occur. See attachment.

- In column A, I have list of items that take up 700 cells (i.e. the text is in cells A1, A2... A700).
- I have applied conditional formatting to these 700 cells, so some of them are now highlight YELLOW based on a criteria (i.e. cells A3, A14, A422, A654 are yellow)
- I want to create a list of these yellow cells in column B.

how to add alternating cells when all are numbers, e.g. B8 to KW8 are all numbers and I want to add B8, D8, F8, etc. until KV8 and then separately add C8, E8, G8, etc until KW8. Is there a more efficient way to do this than =sum(b8,D8, etc)? I also need to do the same with =counta(b8, d8, etc).

I need to create a new sheet, and pull all the rows (14 columns each) from another sheet in the document that meet a certain criteria. Fortunately, that criteria is all in one column; unfortunately, out of about 30 different entries in that column, I need it to pull 7 of them, 4 of them have been input 2 or 3 different ways.
I know I can go through the list of 900+ by hand and copy the rows, but there has to be an easier way right? Here is the list of all the spellings of the ones I need to pull..

I've been given a long list of mailing addresses in Excel in formatted as a single column, each address using three rows with no blank rows. Example:
John Doe
123 Maple St. #2
Cambridge, MA 02139
Jane Smith
321 Elm St. Apt 24
Austin, TX 34557
etc.
etc.
I need to get this data into the form ...
John Doe 123 Maple St. #2 Cambridge MA 02139
Jane Smith 321 Elem St. Apt. 24 Austin TX 34557
I would think this has been done, but I've searched the web and this forum without success.

I'm working out some vba script, that could filter up to 300,000 rows long list.
here is sample from that list:
1000999999027FRESH PASTA FETTUCINE WITH TOM102002P N0809100000035000000012810000000+0000000+ 0000000000000000+0203001896409
2000999999027020300189640900000000000005740200070063
1000999999027FRESH PASTA FETTUCINE WITH SPI102002P N0809100000025000000015700000100+0000000+ 0000000000000000+0203001896454
20009999990270203001896454000000000000057010180265125740200070070
As you can see, the rows are starting with 1000 and 2000. And that would be the criteria.
I'm importing the loooooong list file onto sheet1, and i'd like to sort the list so it puts all the codes starting with 1000 onto sheet2 and rows starting with 2000 onto sheet 3.
With regular filtering mode it's impossible and keeps giving errors.
I know it's possible, but i can't figure it out anymore.
I was thinking about to make script that would copy one row from sheet to sheet and loop it. But my mind just crashes doing that.

I'm doing the website for my company and things have to be entered into the site via spreadsheets. I have a list of numbers
e.g. 3652, 2845, 50925, 4809, 18392
that need to have the spaces removed in order for them to work.
e.g. 3652,2845,50925,4809,18392
There are over 500 cells with multiple numbers in each, so I don't want to do it one at a time, and rightly so, because Excel keeps changing the format and giving me something like
3.6*10^30 and loses all my commas.
Is there an easier way?

I have a list full of different IDs with different version numbers (This format: AKH123.1).
I'm trying to clean the list - removing all duplicate IDs but leaving only the largest version number.
I managed to remove the last digit using LEN/VLOOKUP and removing duplicates, but leaving only the largest version number is too tricky for me. I've thought about trying something with LARGE but can't wrap my mind around it.
My thought process went like this: I want to find all occurrences of "AKH123" and return the largest one.
The list contains about 8000 entries and this would save en enormous amount of work.
Here is a tiny portion of the list:
AKH450.1
AKH451.1
AKH451.3
AKH451.4
AKH451.5
AKH451.6
AKH451.7
AKH451.8
AKH452.1
AKH453.3
AKH454.1
AKH455.1
AKH455.2

I have a pivot table with a group # on the left, and team members on the right. There are multiple team members in each group, and each are on a separate line in the pivot table, like this:
Group #Team1chrisdawnsally2cassiechrisdawnkathysally3jimjoejohntomGrand Total
I need to find where "sally" is on the team (easy to do"), BUT I need to display the rest of the team members in the group with her, like this:
Group #Team1Sally, Chris, Dawn2Cassie, Kathy, Sally, Dawn, ChrisGrand Total
Using the concatanate function to put them all into one cell and then filtering for "contains" was all I could come up with, but there are 14,000 groups

I've got two long columns of dates and names. The dates and names can repeat. Eg:
01/01/14
Fred
01/01/14
Joe
01/01/14
Tom
[Code] ........
I want to input a date and create a list of names with only the names from the date I enter and earlier, and excluding names that appear again with a later date.
E.g. if I enter 01/01/14 I'd get:
Joe
Tom
But not Fred, as although he appears on 01/01/14 he also appears with a later date too.

I have a long list of accounts (for the purposes of of bookkeeping - keeping a cash disbursement journal) and I use data validation that uses this list when I enter an account's name in the journal. Because the list is very long, I often times have to scroll up and down the list in the drop down menu that comes up at a cell I need to populate and when looking for the proper name of the account I needed to be there. I am looking to add a capability to my data validation list use when I would be able to enter several symbols, part of the name of the account I am looking for, and the list of accounts displayed for me to choose from would get shortened based on the symbols I enter. the symbols I enter do not necessarily have to be the first symbols of the account name I am looking for. (as sometimes, I do not remember how exactly the account is called - and so I just guess part of the name ... )

I have a list of 800 fund names that can be any one of 6 types of funds. It is easy to filter the names using the filter function, but I cannot get it to be a filtered list for my dropdown box. The dropdown box should only list those fund names of funds that is of a certain kind. I know I am missing something small.
If the accompanying data is used as an example, I would like a dropdown box with the names of all the I funds.

I'm trying to filter a list between two dates that are selected using drop down lists in Cells CZ1 and CZ2.
The first part of the code works ok ie it filters the list by column 28 as "Shipped" only.
The second part is causing me trouble.
The third part sorts the list by date order based on column 48 and this also works ok.
Code:
Sub FilterTransactionDates()
With Sheet1
.AutoFilterMode = False
.Range("A1:CU1").AutoFilter
.Range("A1:CU1").AutoFilter Field:=28, Criteria1:="Shipped"
.Range("A1:CU1").AutoFilter Field:=48, Criteria1:>=Range("CZ1").Value, Operator:= _
xlAnd, Criteria2:
