Filtering Out Valid And Invalid Entries
Jul 1, 2014
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 two columns with values, and want to display "Valid" or "Invalid" in a third column, dependant on the two preceeding values.
If both column 1 and column 2 contain #N/A, then I want the third column to display "Invalid".
If the above is not true, then I want the third column to display "Valid".
I've been trying different syntax with IF/AND but cannot achieve the result.

I'm looking to put a formula in the last column (Card Valid/Invalid (N3:N8)).
I want this formula to say IF Project Name OR Start date OR Due Date or Type OR Author OR VS are empty then I want the last column to say Invalid else if all of these columns are filled in then give valid. Also if a completed date or no. of review loops are filled in but not both then give Invalid but if both are filled in then as well as all the rest of the info give Valid.

Invalid Qualifier to a Valid Qualifier (Application).
[Code]....
The code above yields me this error >>> Compile Error: Invalid Qualifier
[Code] ....
If I changed it to the one above, I'm getting this >>> Run-time error '91': Object variable or With block variable not set
I tried restarting excel (closing all workbooks and opening one back) then rerun. I am still getting the same error.

Please refer to attached spreadsheet
I receive data from an external source and it displays what appears to be dates in column B.
In column G I apply a formula to display month/year info.
It turns out that some of the data in column B is valid date data, but other data imports as plain text and therefore I can't get the month/year info that I require.
I have attached just a small example.
I get this data monthly and it usually covers thousands of rows and therefore impractical to change manually.

I tried to search the forum with the above title but keep getting a fatal error.
My worksheet contains a data entry column that is verified against a named range entitled "Categories". If you click on the down arrow, it displays all the valid entries. What I'd like to do is enter in the field the first letter of the entry and display only those valid entries that start with the letter I entered. For example, if I entered "c", the validation screen would display:
Car Insurance
Car Payment
Car Repair/Tires
Charity
Chase Mortgage
Church
Cleaning Supplies
Cleaning/Laundry
Contact Lens
Cosmetics
Then, if I entered "ch", the validation screen would display:
Charity
Chase Mortgage
Church

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.

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 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 the need to enter ^ (carat) and "" (double-quotes) within a cell without Excel interpreting them as centre-justify/right-justify and then removing them. Generally, the carat will have some text after it (ie. ^FRED), but the double-quote will be on its own.
How is it possible to this without having to do a double-carat or a quadruple-quote (as it won't necessarily be me that ends up using the spreadsheet)?

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 created an add-in for Excel 2003 by following your site's instructions, substituting my own subroutine's name for "MyGreatMacro" (for the purposes on testing all it does is spit out a MsgBox). I then put the resulting xla file on a network drive and went through the standard process for installing an Addin :
Tools -> Addins -> Browse for the file and hit ok, check it off, etc
This works perfectly fine when i try to install on my own machine, but when I try on other user's machines I get an error message stating that the xla file is not a valid Addin. Excel's error message in this case is about as unhelpful as they come.

I have a macro that creates a new sheet and names it based off a cell value (date, MM-DD-YY), and copies a 'Template' sheet to it, values only. Every so often, two sheets need to be made with the same date. I need the right direction in creating an addition to the below code that will add an A, B, or C at the end of the sheet name if the name is already taken?

i have a customer (im a computer tech, but excel is not my specialty) that has a weird problem with her most important file. She meant well, but tried to back up a 2.6 MB file to a floppy disk, and after it told her the disk was full, she was unable to open the file again in excel. (File Format Is Not Valid) It will, however, open in word, with the data there. Its in an unusable format, as there were 12 different worksheets (one for every month), all on the one page of MS Word. Better than nothing, but still will take weeks to reenter properly. I searched for a repair utility and had one that seemed to work, but only put a "0" in column A row 8. A far cry from what we are looking for. Ive also run a disk recovery program in the hopes of finding an older version of the file, but came up empty.

I have a textbox (on a userform) that populates into a spreadsheet. the way I have it set up the user enters a time, but omits the semicolon, and a macro adjusts the time to show the semi colon in the spreadsheet, that is working great. But what I would like to do is to use a textbox change event to force the user to enter a valid time using a 24 hour clock. I have the textbox set to accept numbers from 0 to 2400, using the textbox change event but this allows the user to enter an invalid time such as "1575" basically anthing above 59 for the last 2 digits would be invalid.

I am trying to define some variables as byte, but I want 0 to be a valid value rather than null. When there is no data, that is when I would like for the variable to be null.
Is there a way to accomplish this? In addition, I use the same variables in a loop, which are reset at the beginning of the loop. Is there a way to reset a variable without giving it a value (like 0)?

I am using the GetSaveAsFilename function to save a file. I have the filefilter as "Excel Add-In (*.xla),xla", however when I save a file this way as an add-in, then try to load that add-in, I get the following error message.
'C:Documents and SettingsUser1DesktopBook3.xla' is not a valid add-in.
Does this mean that the GetSaveAsFilename is not capable of saving a valid xla file?

Website has a URL where the last element is a number within a range (e.g. 1000 - 4000).
But the numbers are not sequential (e.g there are 100 pages, first URL ends "1001", last one ends "6000".
As shown below I set the code to cycle through every possible number:
VB:
For i = 1001 To 6000
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
"URL;http://(whatever)" & i _
, Destination:="(Whichever cell the output starts in)"
Not the most constructive use of the national grid.
Is there a VBA that can check whether the URL "number" is genuine before doing anything else - and move straight to the next "i" if it doesn't exist?

i need to set the range of variables that user can add to the range.
For Example:
AA_*
BB_*
CC_*
ABCD_*
so we accept variables STARTING with AA_ OR BB_ OR CC_ OR ABCD_. If the user enters sth else, then I want to disable the "Enter" key. (If the Cell is Empty than it is also OK!!)
If disabling the Enter key is not possible then maybe i can use Conditioning Formatting? But the question is then if i can use for single condition OR statement.

I have a large spreadsheet that has thousands of hyperlinks that I would like to check periodically to make sure they are up to date. I have found dozens of examples of VBA code that will do this for me and seemingly very clear instructions on how to do it (for example this), but haven't yet been able to successfully run anything in my spreadsheet. It either doesn't do anything, or I get an error message of a bad file name.

I successfully created two PivotTables two days ago, but when I added more rows of data to the source worksheet I could not refresh either PivotTable view. So after much frustration, I deleted both worksheets and again tried to create a new PivotTable using the wizard. I keep getting this error, and have no idea what it is telling me so that I can go about fixing it:
"The PivotTable field name is not valid. To create a PivotTable report, you must use data that is organized as a list with labeled columns. If you are changing the name of a PivotTable field, you must type a new name for the field."

I am using EXCEL 2007. When I refresh the individual pivot tables, I don't get any error. But when I click on Refresh all Pivot, I get a Reference if not valid error. The source for my pivot is referencing to another workbook. Why is there this error and how can I resolve it?
