Filtering Out Duplicate Lines Using Lookup?
Apr 29, 2014
I am trying to setup a table for someone to track and schedule service hours on heavy machinery.
I have a table with columns for Make, Model/SN(which is the unique field in each row), date of last service, hours at last service, current hours and an hours since last service. Service needs to be done at 500 hours so I filter the table based on the hours since last service for >= 400 hours. That's fine, but it shows multiple lines per machine. Is there a way to use a custom filter to find duplicate values in the Model/SN column and then only show the row with the max date of last service?
I'm sure this would be a cinch with VBA, but I would like to find a way that if something changes later on after I am gone that he can still possibly figure out how to make it work.

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.

I have a large spreadsheet of data, with various columns with different bank names, the amount (column H) each bank holds plus loads of other columns. Some of the banks are duplicated, so in a way I want to do an advanced filter to get rid off the duplicate lines, except that I need the amounts (column H) summed.

Hi, I have a report that has multiple lines for the same job with notes of issues and solutions. Each line has a date assosiated with it.
What I need to do is to delete all of the notes apart from the first one. I have attached a sample of the data and highlighted the rows that need to be kept.
I have left the data in it's raw form as it is not always extracted in date order.
Can anyone help me out with a Macro that will sort the data and remove all rows apart from the earliest note per job number?

I need to extract lines in a huge text file (more than 300,000 records ) based on one condition. for e.g.
02/03/07 123456789 hsjksk sjdlsl
05/03/07 323453789 hsjksk sjdlsl
04/03/07 123456789 hsjksk sjdlsl
02/03/07 123456789 hsjksk sjdlsl
I need extract of lines where the date and the digits are the same. in above example it should extract only record line 1 and record line 4. Some body advised me to try MSAccess , but I have never used MS Access and have no clue about it , hence i don't want to use it. Is there a way in VBA to code this ?

I have a report with ~44,000 line items. From this report, I need assistance generating a report that lists all unique line items. I am having problems trying to identify which line items are duplicates as I need to compare 4 different cells in each line to other lines to determine if it is a duplicate item (compare data from columns A, B, E, F)
For example, raw data may be as follows:
Column A………Column B…….Column E…………….....Column F
10/13/2008…….11111111…….71879W561000……….888.88
10/13/2008…….22222222…….239103302000………..222.22
10/13/2008…….11111111…….71879W561000……….888.88
10/13/2008…….33333333…….353496508000………..333.33
10/13/2008…….44444444…….239103302000………..444.44
10/13/2008…….11111111…….71879W561000……….888.88
10/13/2008 ……11111111…….353496508000………..888.88............................
Note from above, there are two occurrences of a duplicate item. As a result, the output table would only list this item once.
I have attached a sample of the spreadsheet with dummy data on one tab and the desired output on another tab. Note that all the data is broken up into blocks of data that is separated by data that is only in the first column of the row.

When performing a VLOOKUP, it returns the first instance of a match in the the lookup range.
So in the spreadsheet I have, I'm performing a vlookup....and finding a match...and then returning a value 1 column to the right...
What I "need" however is a formula that will accept that there is more than 1 row where the match exists and total all the values for that match.
I vaguely understand array formulas but have not been successful and am looking for some tips ...guidance etc....

I would like to create a lookup facility that will allow me fill in data automatically as the example shows below.
The following is a brief of the data i have.
RD Database EX Code Ex Name RD Name
Central LondonCL Jerome De Chassey
Midlands CM Paul Hendron
London N/EAEA Mark Whitley
Midlands EM ABX Abbots Paul Hendron
London W/NHCEM BJA Blisworth Kim Mears
As you can see their is duplicate data as well as blank data, but i would like a field where the user types the following:
Database Ex Code (e.g.)
EM ABX or
CM
and this will automatically fill the EX Name and RD Name fields.

I have a list of ID's but in the same list there are duplicates, then I have my consolidation sheet without any duplicates, my issue is that I need to have the contents of a different column for each of the ID's.
Data sheet example
Column A (ID) | Column D (Result)
1111 first
2222 other
1111 second
3333 another test
2222 other two's
1111 third
Consolidation sheet
Column A (ID) | Incident 1 | Incident 2 | Incident 3
1111 first second third
2222 other other two's
3333 another test
Is there any formula/vba which could perform something similar?

I have attached a copy of what I am trying to do. I've been researching vlookup for a while and everything I try doesn't seem to work. I'm also fairly new to Excel, so most of this is my first time trying these formulas.
In the attached test.xls file, I have two sheets created. The first is "Responsibility," and the second is "List." The data in "List" is what I am trying to pull from. As you can see, the people's names are listed more than once as the list goes down. On the "Responsibility" page I have each person's name one time. In the "Extinguisher" column, I'm wanting it to list every number that is found next to the person's name on the "List" sheet. For example:
Column B2 on the "Responsibility" sheet should read as follows:
1,2,3,17,24
Here is the formula I have in these cells:
=VLOOKUP($A2,List!$A$3:$C$38,3,TRUE)

I feel as though I have spent enough time searching the previous posts to ask this question.
I have a 4 column sheet, column B has many cells with identical data. I want to delete all the rows that that have duplicate data in column B.
COLUMN A= Car Makers
COLUMN B= Models of cars
COLUMN C= color
COLUMN D= owner
I want to end up with rows that each contain unique info in COLUMN B.

I am using the following macro to insert the word "Duplicate" in the first blank column next to a duplicate row. My data is sorted by the first column. Data Example:
12345 a
12345 a DUPLICATE
11111 b
23123 b
Here is the macro I am using and it does not work. It marks the first duplicate it finds then goes into an infinite loop. Any Idea where I went wrong?
Sub MarkDupes()
x = ActiveCell.Row
y = x + 1
Do While Cells(x, 1).Value <> ""
Do While Cells(y, 1).Value <> ""
If (Cells(x, 1).Value = Cells(y, 1).Value) Then
Cells(y, 3).Formula = "Duplicate"
Else
y = y + 1
End If
Loop
x = x + 1
y = x + 1
Loop
End Sub

I have some code but I still need to do a considerable amount of tweaking to it. Currently my code is only deleting the duplicate values in Col A. I am having difficulty summing the values in Col D as well as deleting the entire row.
Here is my code thus far....
-------
Public Sub FindDuplicates()
For RwCnt = 1 To (Worksheets(1).Cells(65536, 1).End(xlUp).Row)
SrchValue = Worksheets(1).Cells(RwCnt, 1).Value
If Len(Trim(SrchValue)) > 0 Then
With Worksheets(1).Range("a1:a" & Cells(65536, 1).End(xlUp).Row)
[Code]....

I have a table of data (say Column1 to Column 5) with multiple rows.
Column 1 to 4 will have the lookup values in multiple rows and Column 5 data should be picked up using vlookup or other lookup function.
I managed to somehow bring all these lookup values in (Column 1 to 4) in a single column in another sheet. I am now trying to use some lookup or other functions to match this single column and pick column 5 data in original sheet. Result i am expecting is lookup value in first column and next to it column 5 value.
It is basically a lookup wherein lookup value is spread over multiple rows and columns and result column is fixed. I tried using vlookup, but lookup value column and column number had to change every time when i moved from column1 to 4.

Excel offers many ways to use a key to lookup a value (VLookup, Index/Match, DGet, and the rest). What's the fastest way to perform a lookup of a small table of, say, 30 rows of key-value pairs? Theoretically, it would be most efficient to use a branch table (also known as a jump table). See the wikipedia article for branch tables: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branch_table. Does Excel/VBA have a way to create a branch table for such lookups?

I want to be able to lookup if anywhere in a cell contains a word from a list of words, and then provides an output.
Column G:
VAT payment
HMRC payment
Pay VAT
I have a table on the side that shows:
Column Y Column Z
VATHMRC
HMRC HMRC
ie. If anything in column G matches one of the words in Column Y, then output the Column Z. I have use a Vlookup that works for the first two, as VAT is the first thing, but dont know how to make it work if the key word is in the middle of the cell.

I have a workbook with 2 different types of sheet - 1 containing source data and the others 'collecting' data from the source sheet, depending on what the sheet is for.
For example, the data source contains different pets, their names, ages and their owners.
The other sheets are on a one-per-owner basis.
What I would like to do is use a LOOKUP / MATCH function to lookup the owner name typed in cell A1 of the output sheet and match it with the corresponding owner name(s) on the source sheet. I would then like it to return with each pet and append the results on the sheet accordingly - like below:
John Smith (in cell A1)
Pet - Name - Age
-------------------
Dog - Rover - 3
Goldfish - Tom - 1
Gerbil - Chewit - 4

I'm making my own gradebook (attached) and one of my sheets will list scores for each student in different assignments. I have one sheet which keeps track of all students and all assignments with other info. I would like to program cells in one sheet (the third in the attached file) to lookup a particular student's grade in a particular assignment. I figured trying a LOOKUP with an AND requirement might work but it keeps returning the message "could not find value".
My formula references the student's name and the assignment from the identifying cells so that it is easy to copy and paste. I wondered if it was this which resulted in the error, but doubt it.

I am having an issue filtering data in a spreadsheet:
Each set of information has 5 lines of information (title, information, manager, status, sponsor) and the first column of each data set is a merged 5 row box with the area of operation (this does not have to be merged if this is creating the issue). I need to be able to filter by area of operation and have all 5 rows showing. Right now, Excel only shows me one row for each set of data with the area of operation as one row.

I have a spreadsheet with Row 1 as the header and Row 2 as sub-headers. I want to filter automatically to 2nd row, but whenever I press on Ctrl+Shift+L, I have the first column filtered. I have another spreadsheet that whenever I press Ctrl+Shift+L, it automatically filters the 2nd row instead. I'm not pretty sure what's the difference. I have my spreadsheet frozen on cell B3 (not sure if it has something to do with freezing cells. I know I can select 2nd row before pressing on Ctrl+Shift+L, but is there some other way to have this automated?

I would like to know whether it's possible to evaluate the percentage of a text value ie 'Approved', after filters on other columns have been done.
AREA YR DECISION
HN 09 APPROVED
NYM 08 REFUSED
RC 09 APPROVED
HN 09
RC 08 REFUSED
? %
So if I filter by AREA and/or YR, I would like the % of how many were 'Approved' in that filtered range (ignoring any blank cells in the DECISION column).
So far I have a basic
=TEXT(COUNTIF(C2:C6,"*Approved*")/ROWS(C2:C6),"0% ""Approval Rate""")
but it doesn't work once I filter by AREA or YR, and doesn't ignore blanks.
