Find Common Values In Two Lists
May 10, 2007
I have two lists, one is 15,000 records, the other 100 records. I want to find the common records between the two.
I am using this formula currently, but is returning an incorrect result--
=INDEX($B$2:$B$11157,SMALL(IF(COUNTIF($M$2:$M$100,$B$2:$B$11157)>0,ROW($B$2:$B$11157),1000),ROW()-ROW($P$2)+1)-ROW($P$2)+1)
this is the record number in M2
BU1HAD80
it is returning
BI1METBRSM
as the common record. This formula is from Joseph Rubin's book F1 Excel Formulas and Functions

I have a fairly large timecourse dataset and I need to find all common values within all 3 columns. Also, when I find these 'common values' is there a speedy way to retrieve data in the same row that is associated with these values, instead of going back one-by-one and copying and pasting beside the value that the function has returned?

Problem description: I need to put together twelve arrows each comprised of four components; field point, front insert, shaft & fletch and nock. Therefore, I have forty-eight components in an Excel table. Each of these components may differ slightly in weight. My objective is to mix and match all of the components to create as many arrows as possible of the same exact weight.
Two questions. 1) How should I be thinking about setting up the problem? 2) Which Excel function returns the results I'm looking for?
Total weight
Point
Insert
Nock
Shaft
?
100.1
109.7
20
179.1
100.1
110

The old thread is here: [URL] ....
There are three sheets in the workbook, Project, Tasks and Details and the expected resulting sheets are RESULT, In_Tasks_but_NOT_in_Projects and In_Details_but_NOT_in_Projects .
But now what I am looking for:
1. Copy the Projects data as is in the RESULT sheet.
2. Then in the Tasks sheet, if the ID matches paste the matching rows under the data from Projects (as in the result sheet with Orange colour)
3. If the ID is present in Tasks but NOT in Projects then copy it into the In_Tasks_but_NOT_in_Projects sheet.
4. Then If the ID and the Name in the Details tab matches with the data in the RESULT sheet then paste it under the ID and Name (as in the result sheet with Green colour)
5. If the ID does not match the ID in the results sheet then copy that row into the In_Details_but_NOT_in_Projects sheet.
The result of the current macro that RHCPgergo worked with are in the last sheet.
The formatting and colour of the rows doesn't matter, it is more of nice to have.

I have two lists, let's say:
A B
Eva 1982
Anna 1981
Lisa 1983
John 1980
Steve 1972
...
And
A B
Eva Female
John Male
Lisa Female
...
Can in any way match the above lists automaticly, so the information from List number 2, column B, appears at the correct place in List number 1, Column C? For empty cells, no information is fine.

I have 2 lists in column A and column B. For each cell in column B, I want to put a "YES" in the corresponding cell in column C if the contents (of the cell in column B) are somewhere in the entire list under column A (I think the list in both columns is about 5000+).
I have logged in after quite a gap and found that all my subscribed threads (gathered over a year) have vanished

I expect to deploy over 200 iterations of a workbook (templates if you will) containing a mix of up to one hundred different attributes each with its own list of valid values. My problem is the attributes don't always default to the same column in every template workbook. Therefore, to make things easier for users I would like to create attribute valid value dropdown lists on the fly using the "Valid Values' table as the source data (see the attached). Since the attribute names will be the same from one template workbook to the next, I wanted to come up with a macro that would reference a source table (a separate workbook) containing all valid values for all attributes which users would be required to download to their local machine.
See the attached example workbooks and an example of a "Valid Values" list. Here's what needs to happen: When a user opens template workbook #1 I need drop down lists containing the valid values for the attributes contained in cell B3 (User Code),C3 (Department) and D3 (Category). Likewise, when another user opens template workbook #2, I need drop down lists containing the valid values in cell B2 (Department), C3 (Group), D3 (Category), E3 (Level), F3 (Material) and G3 (User Code). Notice that "Department", "Category" and "User Code" are data elements common between both workbooks but resident in different columns.

I have 300 number groups and each group has 22 different numbers (from 1 to 80).
Can I find the most common 5 or more numbers in these groups by excel, macro or any program?
for example, let us suppose that 4-15-23-36-45 are the most common numbers and these numbers are in 8 groups from 300.

In column A I have 50,000 cells, each containing 1 to 10 keywords. For example
A1 = "jobs"
A2 = "jobs in milton keynes"
A3 = "it jobs in milton keynes"
A4 = "sales jobs in milton keynes"
A5 = "well paying brickie work in spain"
etc
etc
At first I was trying to find out the most common keywords in column A, and I used the following code to do so

I need to find out common numbers between columns. Each column has multiple number entries seperated by a comma. For example:
Column A: "5592,12222" and Column B: "1,2,3,4,5592,123123" and Column C: "3, 4"
I need to find out any numbers that are found in more than 1 column. Hence, the result should be something like "3,4,5592". If no match is found then maybe can indicate by coloring the cell. My data is over 50,000 rows and 30 columns. I need to do this for each row one by one.

What i am trying to do is to to determine the common material that is
used among different model do product in a product family. I have the
column C the various part number for the product family. Each product
model is made up of different combination of the parts.
In I3:U3 i have the model number for each product. Under each are the
combination of various part that make up each model. What i need to do
is in column G conditional formatiing that if all the different model
use a particular part (part number). The respective cell in column in
the row will be color. This will help me to determine what are the
parts that are common to all the product.
Column C Column G Column I .........................Column U
Part no Common Product 1 Product 2 Product 3 Product 4
12-1234-56 no color 1 4 0 6
13-2345-45 color 2 3 2 2
14-1234-56 no color 0 2 4 2

I've found a vb script via Google that displays the most common words in a list followed by a number.
Code:
Sub HTH() Dim vArray As Variant Dim lLoop As Long
Dim rCell As Range With CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
For Each rCell In Range("A1", Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp))
[Code] .......
At the moment this results in 1 word followed by a count.
How do I alter this so it shows 2 or 3 words, ultimately showing the most common phrases?

I have a list of parts in Column A, often times with duplicates in the column.
I have a list of parts in Column B (from another source), again, with duplicates.
What I need is - leaving columns A and B alone;
Column C to be unique Column A parts
Column D to be unique Column B parts
Column E to be parts in common between Columns C and D.

I am looking to find the top 5 most common/repeated numbers within this range. I have found a formula to work out the largest number within the range:
=MAX(IFERROR(0+TRIM(MID(SUBSTITUTE(";"&B3,";",REPT(" ",LEN(B3))),(ROW(A$1:A$200)*LEN(B3))-1,LEN(B3))),0)) (REF http://www.excelforum.com/excel-gene...e-numbers.html)
How to modify it to work with e.g. the mode function.
I know I could separate all the numbers out using 'text to columns' but I will need to work this out regularly on large quantities of data ...

Find the most common occurring string in my spreadsheet based on a lookup value. For example, if my table is as follows:
Capture.PNG
- I want to calculate the most common value chosen by user 234 (A in this case), user 524 (B in this case)... and so on.
- I want to calculate the percent of the chosen value. So in the previous point, A was chosen ~67% of the time by user 234... and so on.
I'm not sure which formula to use. I am able to find the most common occurring value in column B using the formula below (which I found here), but how can I do that for a specific value, a user ID in this case?

I've been racking my brains trying to find a way of doing this. I have a list (column A in Excel) of over 50,000 organisations and I'd like to know what the most common words used in the names are. Ideally it would great if I could produce a top 10 list of the most common words at the top e.g. Ltd, School or Church with a count in the next column of how times that word it appears

I have a spreadsheet of part #'s, descriptions, manufacturer names, and manufacturer part #'s. (It's a list of the inventory in my warehouse). Each row contains information for just the item in that row. Row 2 references another part in my warehouse, row 3 yet another, and so on.
Many of the parts have more than one potential manufacturer and part #, (meaning that any of those manufacturer's part #'s are basically the same tool; just different brands. At one time we may get a shipment of one, at other times we may get a shipment of another). For example, a screwdriver may be listed like this:
Part # 1234 screwdriver, mfg Snap-On, part # 456, mfg Stanley, part # 789, mfg Mac Tool, part # 439.
Then further down the list, there may be another part listed like this:
Part # 9980 wrench, mfg Stanley, part #741, mfg Snap-On, part # 852, mfg Proto, part # 369.
If you can imagine that data across the cells of a spreadsheet row, notice how the mfg name 'Snap-On' was the first mfg name on the screwdriver, but it was listed as the 2nd mfg name on the wrench.
So, here's my question: I want to be able to group all of the items made by any one manufacturer together in a new list. If all of the manufacturer names were in the same column, I could simply sort the list by that column, but since I've got thousands of rows with the mfg name I'm looking for in different columns on different rows, I thought maybe a macro could search each row for the word I'm looking for, then if found, take the whole row and copy it to a new worksheet. So the end result would be, If I wanted to see all items of which Snap-On is an acceptable supplier, I could get a list of all potential Snap-On items grouped together.
I'm sorry this is so long. I may have over-worded this and it may not be too clear. I could email an example of the spreadsheet if anyone needed more info to figure out what I'm looking for and was willing to take a look at it.

I am attempting to take a very large list of keywords, and find the most common words and phrases within them. For example, if I had a list that said:
excel formulas
excel spreadsheet formulas
excel help
excel formulas help form
formulas for excel
I would like to come away knowing that "excel" and "formulas" are common words within the list.
Currently, I believe this can be accomplished by doing the following:
1. Break down each line into all of its possible combinations.This would mean that the line with "excel spreadsheet formulas" would return:
excel spreadsheet formulas
excel spreadsheet
spreadsheet formulas
excel
spreadsheet
formulas
2. Once the entire list is broken down into its many parts, use the pivot table feature of excel to determine how common each of the parts is within the entire data set.
So, my questions are these:
1. Do you believe this is the best way to solve my problem? If not, what would be the preferred method?
2. If this is the best method, what function or script would I use to accomplish the first step of breaking down the lines into their individual parts?

I have two worksheets containing four columns of data, example below. I need to match data found in any one of the four columns in worksheet B, against the data in the corresponding column of worksheet A, and if matched, return the result from the “Asset No” column of worksheet A (and return N/A or similar if none of the four columns could be matched)
Worksheet A
Asset Serial Server IP No.
1234511111ABCABCBlank.
45678Blank.DEFDEF12345
7891033333Blank...45678
Worksheet B
Asset Serial Server IP No.
Blank.22222XYZXYZBlank.
45678Blank.Blank...12345
Blank.Blank.Blank...45678
In this example, I would expect to return the result 45678 against row 2, & 78910 against row 3, and receive a “not found” in row 1
I tried using IF & OR in an array formula, but could only get to a TRUE or FALSE result (was not able to reference the Asset Number).

I have a different worksheet in the same workbook for every "gig" that I book. Each gig contains the name of the musicians I staffed on the gig along with their salary+expenses For taxes, I need to summarize into a new worksheet how much each musician made. Ideally i'd see not only the total per name but itemized. So if 1 guy did 3 diff gigs, I'd see each row pertaining to his name.
Lastly, I'd like to include names that do not have multiple records because it's possible there is inconsistencies with the spelling of certain names.

I am trying to do a find and replace on two list of names which are in different formats to get the list in a correct format for processing in our system.
Eg
Sheet1 - Column A - (Has Duplicates)
Tom Jones
Homer Simpson
Sheet2 - Column A - (unique values only)
JONES TOM I1234
SIMPSON HOMER I4321
I want a macro/method of looking at Sheet1 Col A - finding the EXCAT name in Sheet2 ColA and then either Replacing Sheet1 Col A with the Text in Sheet2 ColA or putting it in Sheet 1 ColB next to the one i need to replace.
Desired Example
Sheet1ColA || Sheet2ColA || Sheet1ColB Or Sheet1ColA
-------------- || ------------- || -----------------------
Tom Jones || JONES TOM I1234 || JONES TOM I1234
I have Approx 4187 names to check like this and change to the same format as is in Sheet2 Col A
So a looping macros that looks at sheet1 col A and then finds the name in Sheet2 Col A i think is required, if it does not find a matching name it should leave it BLANK and then move on to the next one to find and replace.
I have tried to split up the cells in Sheet1 ColA into FName, Lname..then doing Vlookups, but thats not working for me

It's been a while since I've visited MrExcel, but I've been busy learning C# & ASP.Net & Visual Studio & SQL Server - work doesn't want too much from me :p
Anyway, I'm writing a procedure that plays around with lists in Excel (i.e. the type of list that would show up in CurrentRegion.
They're not connected to any outside data source, or as a pivot table - just columns of data that will have a header row in a different format than the data body.
Is there any way of cycling through each sheet in the workbook and identifying each occurrence of a list?
I've been playing with the code at the bottom of the post, and it finds the boundaries of each list providing (at the moment) that each list starts on row 1. There are other problems with it however.
And to identify the values in the header row? .....
