Filtering For Unique Entries Based On One Column
May 1, 2009
This may be a basic question but I haven't been able to find the solution:
I'm using Excel 2003. I have a list with repetitive entries in one column and unique entries in the other columns. Example
0001 a
0001 b
0002 c
0002 d
0003 e
0003 f
I need to filter the list so that only unique entries in the first column show up, but I need the rest of the information to carry with it. Example:
0001 a
0002 c
0003 f
I can't use the Avanced Filter > Unique Entries Only function because the information in the adjoining columns is not unique.

I have this 2 columns, A(region) and B(location), and I need a macro to filter the unique entries in Columns A and return both the unique values in A and their corresponding values in B. I've attached a file on it with sheet 1 having the data to be worked on and sheet 2 being the output that I require.

I have 620 columns of data with each column consisting of 17 rows. I need to be able to count the number of unique entries in each column. I recorded a macro that would do what I wanted, but it just used absolute references for each column, which would make the process rather tedious. Is there a way to make the macro less restrictive?
Sub Macro1()
Columns("B:B").Select
ActiveSheet.Range("$B$1:$B$17").RemoveDuplicates Columns:=1, Header:=xlNo
End Sub

From column A,(lets say cell 10 onwards) I need to copy all the unique entries into column B (cell 10 onwards). However, I dont know what length column A will be. What would be the best way in VBA/Excel to do so ?

I need to count all unique entries in column A (list of names) (this bit I can do!)...however:
Column B gives each name a value of A or B, I need to count all unique names with an A and all unique entries with a B.
eg
Matt A
Matt A
Matt A
Bob A
Tom B
Tom B
This would give a count of 2 for A's and 1 for B's.

In that file, you can see there is a list of somewhat similar data across 5 columns. Some of the entries are duplicates, some are different by only one character. What I want to be able to do is generate a list of all the unique rows of data, taking into account the data from ALL 5 columns. The list can be on another sheet or simply just further down on the same sheet, that doesn't matter too much.
I could do it if it were just one column of data, but struggling trying to do it with several columns.

I have a user form with a group of several option buttons. When an optionbutton is selected, programatically, I want a worksheet's named column to be parsed through to find unique entries and then have those entries passed to the form's combobox. I've spent the last hour searching for an answer but to no success

Basically from Sheet OEE V20:V500 I have a list of problems being selected from a drop down list validation (which users can add to the list for new problems). Along side these "problems" in Sheet OEE U20:U500 I have a number which represents the number of minutes the problem caused them. Some cells in both these columns will however be empty if there was no problem occour. But wherever there is a problem selected, there will be a number alongside it, there will never be one without the other.
What I want to do is look down Sheet OEE V20:V500 and get two lots of information -
The unique problem names (no duplicates of the same problem) in Sheet Reports A1:A100 for example (I may change the range of this).
The number of occurances of each of the problems it lists in Sheets Reports B1:B100.
Count up the total number of minutes of each problem. So for every occurance of "Paper problem" there will be a unique number in Column U in the same row as the problem and place this in Sheet Reports C1:C100.
I would ideally like to have this as VB code as I am going to tie it into a command button which formats and prints my report page.
I have found various bits of code dotted about the forums for counting unique cell entries but they always seem to produce a list with lots of blank rows (I would like a list one after another without blank rows all over the place) and I'm really struggling to figure out how to make it count up the numbers in the adjacent cell of each entry it sees.
Just in case the list of problems for the cell validation in Sheet OEE V20:V500 is found in Sheet OEE AQ16 downwards.

I tried to ask this question yesterday -- but it was a follow-up question stuck at the bottom of a thread. So, with your indulgence, here is a simpler version of the question, complete with an attached spreadsheet, if you wish to use it. I also closed the other thread by marking it "Solved", since it answered my initial question.]
The situation:
I have two columns of data. The data is not in alphabetical order, and every column includes duplicate values.
namegender
jones m
martinf
smithf
collinsf
wilsonm
jones m
martinf
hughesm
wilsonm
martinm
smithf
west f
jones m
west f

The challenge:
In one cell, count the number of unique names that appear in the name column 3 or more times... with the additional condition that each unique name (which appears at least 3 times) must include at least one one woman!
The correct result: ...

How do you remove entries from a column such that only unique entires are left?
Say the spreadsheet contains only a single column:
david
kris
tony
hayley
kristy
john
david
test
hello
david
I tried an "advanced filter" with "unique records only" checked. It gets rid of one david, but not 2 (there are originally 3 of them, and we want to leave 1)
This is the result.
david
kris
tony
hayley
kristy
john
david
test
hello

I have a list of ID# (Col A) and dates (Col B). The ID # of reference is Col (F) and today's date (Col G). I need to count how many future dates there are in the list (Col B) that are unique and in the future from today's date.
I'm still fairly new to all these formulas and functions which is why I'm not attempting this in VBA.
I've attached an example work book and I would like the result in H2.

My goal to checkup/analyze our contact details database, to do that i have to manually tag the invalid entries ( blanks, 0, wrong cellphone format, x, NONE etc. ) for cellular phone field as " INVALID " and if the cellular phone format is correct we'll tag it as " VALID " ( please refer to my attach file ) i have to get this task as fast as i could and our database comprises of 200,000 imagine if i have to manually tag it even in batches i have to figure out how to automate this..but the filter function of excel seems to be lacking for me. if there's a way how to automate this with this function:
- define field to be filtered out as for this case ill define cellphone # format and tag it as " VALID "
- define field to be filtered out as invalid entries ( blanks, x , 0, numbers less than 10 digits, entries that are telephone format, NONE, /// , XX, aa, @ ) or any sort of entries that are not cellphone format

I have a column formatted as a date. I would like to filter out all rows which have a blank date value. I don't see any blank value to select when I try to select auto-filter for that row. Any suggestions?
I would like to filter out the blank values because I found that if I pivot on the data and there are blank values in the field, I can not use the group option for that field.

I have a Listbox that outputs data to Column A. Is there a way to auto populate Column B with 4 items for each Entry in Column A?
The 4 items that will populate in Column B will always be the same.
I have attached an example to better explain what I am trying to describe.

Let's say I have a dataset with blank or X in column A, and a dollar value in column B. I want to sum the dollar amounts for column B only if there is a corresponding X in that row in column A. The way I currently do that is by creating a new column C, making a if statement to display the value of B only if there is an entry in A, and then doing operations on that new range. I figure there has to be an easier way. I don't know how to use VLOOKUP, despite trying to read the helpme a bunch of times. Is that relevant?

In the same worksheet, I would like to format column "U" based on the alpha character in column "T" and also format column "AA" based on the alpha character in column "Z". There are three alpha characters that will be used in columns "T" and "Z" ( upper case and lower case), "A" with the format of $ #,000 & "H" with the format of $ 0.00 & "P" with the format of percent %. I want to format column "U" & "AA" prior to entering a value.
Column "T" & "Z" are a pull down menus containing only the values listed above (a,A,h,H,p,P)
I had asked and received an answer regarding the above pertaining to columns "A" and "B" and was given an answer that works, however, today my boss changed the configuration of the spreadsheet and for the life of me, I could not get the code to work using the new parameters.

I have a specific issue that I have not been able find in here or on the internet. I need to count entries in one column based on a date range using corresponding dates in another column.I found countif, countifs, dcount, etc but have not been able to get any code to work. I don't know if my excel spreadsheet attached correctly but I can explain it since it's a simple one. Column A is filled with report dates that generally increase from 10/1/2012 t0 9/30/2013. Column B is filled with the number of "AFIS searches." If an AFIS search was not conducted for a specific report then the cell is blank. I need to count the number of AFIS searches between the dates of 1/1/2013 and 3/31/2013.

create a lookup table in access from this excel spreadsheet. Column : "Unit Name" - has some unique and majority are duplicates Unit Names. I want to filter for Unique names and for one name of each duplicate. This will give me all "Unit Name"'s we've entered to date.
When I enable filters for the headings of each column, The list of what I need is there...while in the "Unit Name" Column. If I click on the filter drop down....that the list. My thing is how do I get that on the sheet it self.

How would I count unique dates associated with another specific value on a worksheet?
For instance, Lets say I want to count each day a particular person makes a sale.
Example:
Sales PersonSale IDSales Date
Don 1001/6/2014
Don 1401/7/2014
Don 1601/8/2014
Jack 1011/6/2014
Jack 1021/6/2014
Mike 901/5/2014
Mike 1031/6/2014
So on another worksheet, I'd have:
Sales Person Days with Sale
Don 3
Jack 1
Mike 2
The Formula would go into the "Days with Sale" Column.

I am relatively new to Excel so there may be a easy way to do this that I just can't see. Here's the background:
My raw data contains 10,000+ entries with many duplicates. Each entry though has a time stamp like so:
Unique Identifier: TimeStamp
S1111111111 10th July 02:00
S1111111111 10th July 02:10
S1111111111 10th July 00:50
What I want to do is to isolate the duplicates in this sheet of 10K+ that have the earliest timestamps and delete duplicates with later time. So in the above example, I would only be left with the 3rd entry as it has the earliest timestamp.

I had an idea that I could use the level of indent in the first column to provide the name for the range. The easiest way to explain is with the example spreadsheet I have attached
Cells C5:C10 show how the naming convention should look like, basically Indent Level 0 returns a prefix (Sheet_Name_Prefix) and its corresponding row entry in Column A. Level 1 should return the last Level 0 name and its corresponding row entry in Column A.
I had a go at the code and it works for Level 0 but I can't get it to put to Level 1.
Sub Test()
'Dimension Variables
Dim RowTitleEntries As Integer
Dim NameLoop As Integer
Dim IndentLevel As Integer
'Set the value of RowTitleEntries
RowTitleEntries = 6

What I need to do is sort certain entries in longer list (column A, it is in .csv format and needs to be in it so coordinates and names and ID, all sorted with commas) and I have another list (column C) which is shorter list of certain IDs. I googled and tried and got some results for the basic structure but the fuction seems to fail. It doesn't matter how I get that third list done, but there is only one criteria: since the list in column A is really long and those entries need to keep the .csv formatting, the function should copy that info what is in the matching cells.
Let me try to put it simple: .csv cells from column A that have matching ID from column C should be copied to column B (or N).
the function I'm working with right now is
=IF(ISERROR(FIND($C:$C; A1))=TRUE;"0";A1)
