Finding Anagrams In A Word List

Jul 28, 2009

In column A we have words, like this:

CHAIR
EXCEPT
WORLD
STREET
OUTSIDE
PEOPLE
WINDOW
LETTER
BOOK

In column B we have another list of words:

NIGHT
DREAM
EXPECT
THOUGHT
TEDIOUS
OFFICE
SETTER
LIBRARY
BEFORE
OFFER

I need a formula in C1 which will check all the words from column B and find the ones which are anagrams of some of the words from column A, and then return those words next to them.

(Anagram is the word made up of another word's letters, without repeating or omitting any, for example anagram of SPARK is PARKS).

In the example above, we would have the words: EXCEPT next to EXPECT (in C3), OUTSIDE next to TEDIOUS (C5), and STREET next to SETTER (C7).

VBA Extract Anagrams From List

Jun 14, 2008

Say I had a list of words, all 9 letters long and I wanted to find all the words that had anagrams of themselves (e.g. ISOPTERAN - PATRONISE) and then list them separately as a new list.

I have tried all sorts of Excel spreadsheet solutions, but I always hit a dead end.

Can anyone write some code that I could add to a module that would accomplish this? The logic would go something like this:

Start with first word, check that word against all the words in the list (column of words), if it is an anagram with another word (e.g. ISOPTERAN - PATRONISE), then both words would be extracted and pasted in a new list for the first occurrence, if while still checking the first word in the list against the remaining words it found a second match, only the second word found would be extracted and pasted in the new list. After the first word was checked against all the words in the list the second word would be checked. Then the third, etc. until the whole list was checked.

Finding List Which Has Most Similar Entries To Reference List

Apr 26, 2014

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

Finding Similar Value From One List In Another List?

Oct 7, 2011

On Sheet 1 I have a list of employee names (John, Bob, Ross etc...)in column A and in column B I have a list of employee bonus points (1, 5, 3 etc...). On Sheet 2 I have the same setup but the list of employees on sheet 2 is a lot longer than the ones on sheet 1, all employee names are on sheet 2.

I need a macro that will go down to each name on the list on sheet 1, column A, and copy the employee bonus points then go to sheet 2 and find the that employees name in the list and paste the bonus points in column B. This must be done until the last name on sheet 1 is found and all points are copied to their corresponding names on sheet 2.

Look Up One Word From Cell In Another List?

Jul 2, 2012

I have a list of print titles and a list of eBook titles. I need to do a lookup ot bring across the ISBN of the print book over to the eBook list so I can compare them. I have already done the standard Trim and vlookup, and the "*"&A2&"*" lookup but there are still about 70 titles I need to find. For instance:

Table 1
A1 = BATMAN STORY BOOK 1
B1 = 9780199134979

Table 2
A1 = BATMAN:BOOK 1 STORY
B2 = 9780199135589

Is there a way I can just look up BATMAN from A1 Table 2 so that it returns B1 from Table 1 (the ISBN) in a new cell?

Finding Names Within A List

Sep 14, 2009

I am creating an interactive tool in Excel.

One of the Fields is "Employee Name"

I created a validation list that includes the names "Mary, Joe, Michael, and David"

When I plug in the name "Mary" I want to pick out her qualifications from a list I have created on a separate worksheet.


Passport
Mary
Joe
David

Lunch
Mary
Joe
Michael

Car
Joe
Michael
David

I want Excel to have the ability to find the name "Mary" from those three lists and reply back to me with the headers of either Lunch, Car, and/or Passport based on the lists Mary appears in. I want this to change depending on the Employee Name and I pick and the lists they appear in.

Finding Top 3 Most Common From A List?

Apr 14, 2013

I am currently trying to organise a student yearbook for my pupils at school. We have given out sheets to students in order for them to nominate their peers for various awards such as 'Funniest Student', 'Most Caring Student' etc.

I am trying to collate all of the data into an excel workbook. I have made two sheets within a workbook, which I have formatted how I want them to look like. I want to insert all the student's responses into one sheet, and somehow, the top 3 most occurring nominations are found and are inserted into the appropriate cells in the separate sheet.

I have attached a copy of the workbook. Due to data protection the student names and tutor groups have been taken out and replaced with the word "REMOVED", yet I will paste them back in at a later time. So feel free to have a play around to see what I am talking about! I have filled the table with some dummy data just so you can see what I mean.

I am not at all sure how I would go about picking out the top 3 most occurring names for each award, but once I can do that, I will be able to insert them into the other sheet. How to automatically produce the top 3 most occurring names.

Vlookup Not Finding Value In List

Feb 26, 2010

Excel 2002

I have a number (22.3) in a cell that is there from an Hlookup function. I am then using a vlookup to lookup the 22.3 (from the hlookup) in a column. The number is in the column, but the vlookup function cant find it. If I were to type over my hlookup formula so that I am hand-typing in "22.3" instead of it being their from the hlookup, then the vlookup works just fine. I hope that is not too confusing. I dont understand what is going on. I checked to make sure none of my cells are rounding and therefore creating a look-alike number when it really isn't and that is not the case.

MS Word Large Numbered List

Sep 1, 2009

I have a very large numbered list in MS Word, in the following style:

1. Animals
1.1 Mammals
1.1.1 Dogs
1.1.1.1 Beagles
1.1.1.2 Pugs
1.1.2 Cats
1.1.3 Elephants
1.2 Fish
1.2.1 Cod

...and so on.

I am trying to bring this data into Excel (2007) but in a way so that:

"Animals" goes into column A.

"Mammals" and "Fish" go into column B (in their own cells, in different rows).

"Dogs" and "Cats" go into column C.

"Beagles" and "Pugs" go into column D...

and so on.

The idea is to have each line in a different row, but have the columns serve more or less the same function that the tab indents do when looking at it in Word. (I'm trying to create a "breadcrumbs" style list for each line item). I've tried using tabs as a delimiter for importing text into word, but it doesn't seem to recognize Word's tabs when applied through a numbered list.

Finding The Biggest Value In Custom List?

Apr 26, 2014

I know how to make customs lists, but it's not getting me anywhere.

Let's say I have a lot of data containing values as follows and in the following list I sorted them from small to large:

5a
5a+
5b
5b+
5c
5c+
6a
6a+
6b
6b+
6c
6c+
7a
7a+
7b
7b+
7c
7c+
8a

and so on... In the list, the date isn't sorted from small to large, many values (if not all) occur multiple times and on occasion some values are added to the column. With that last part I mean that you can see it as a batch of 500, and if so far the batch only contains 450 values there will be (for the time being until items get added) 50 empty cells in the column as well.

You can't order numerically or alphabetically. I know I can make a custom list and then just sort according to that custom list so the biggest value would come out on top or bottom but that's not what I'm looking for either, as the data needs to be sort by another colomn (dates in chronological order).

So I'm just looking for a formule saying "return the biggest value if the order of things is as I typed above'.

Finding And Inserting Value From Previous List?

May 15, 2014

The basis of my needs is to be able to find in a list of names, a duplicate name from previous list and then grab and populate a number from that row. Here is an example

A B C D
Doe,Jane $1000 $250 $750
Smith,John $700 $100 $600
Wilson,Alan $1500 $1500 $0

I update the list, some names are added and others taken away. When I add the new list, column C of every name is $0. I want the formula to find names from the previous list and populate Column C with the value of Column C + D of the corresponding name. Also I have a separate formula that simply is D=(B-C) The result of what I would want this to look like is this...

A B C D
Doe,Jane $1200 $1000 $200
Doe,John $500 $0 $500
Smith,John $1000 $700 $300

As you can see there was a new name added to the list (Doe,John) and a name taken away from the list (Wilson,Alan). Column C is the only Column that I am wanting to auto populate. The Value in Column B is a variable that is managed by another program so you don't have to worry about that.

Keep in mind there will be multiple instances of this list and the same name will occur more than once in the spreadsheet. There are not duplicate names that are different customers though as my other program takes care of that. eg. "Doe,John" and "Doe,John #2". I only want it to grab the information from the previous list not ones previous to that list(if that makes sense) third example...

A B C D
Doe,Jane $1500 $1200 $300
Doe,John $500 $500 $0
Miller,Joe $700 $0 $700
Smith, John $1300 $1000 $300

My current method of accomplishing this is to select the previous list and print it. I then go down the new list and cross reference it with the old one keying in the values by hand. This would be a huge time saver as the list is 250 names and growing. I hope I have given enough information but undoubtedly I have not. So feel free to ask me any questions and for more details. I did not want to go to in depth for fear of my post being to long.

Finding Closest Date In A List

Apr 9, 2008

I've been turning this problem over it my head for the last day and can't seem to come up with a decent solution, so I figured I'd post it here to see if anybody else had any bright ideas.

I have a data sheet with a dropdown list on it to select the month and year that determines how the rest of the data sheet populates. Basically I'm giving weekly breakdowns of data for a month at a time, with the "Week Ending" heading (which are dates - Saturdays), populating off of the month and year selected from the dropdown.

So, to give an example, if somebody selects March 2008 in the dropdown, it will populate the week ending dates of 3/1, 3/8, 3/15, 3/22, 3/29, and then pull out the specific data for each week based on those dates.

What I'd like to do is write a formula that will find the first Saturday of the month. The way I have it jury-rigged right now is a list of months with the first Saturday listed next to it and a vlookup to grab the date of the first Saturday. I envision using this report indefinitely into the future and I'd like to avoid having to keep adding/changing the manual list of Saturdays, instead preferring to have a way to determine the date.

Finding The LAST Time Something Appears In A List?

Apr 17, 2009

I have a list of numbers in Column A (labeled "Number"), with a list of dates in Column B (labeled "Date & Time"). Every date in Column B is unique, but some numbers in Column A appear more than once.

I am trying to create a simple formula that will automatically search for the LAST time a unique number appears in Column A (ignoring all previous instances of this number), and copy the date right next to it in Column B to another location on another worksheet.

I tried fussing with several of the built-in functions, but I really don't know what I'm doing, and the built-in help documents are filled with too much mathematical/programmer technical terminology for me to understand. All the tutorials I've looked at seem to think I want to add some numbers together, but I don't want to do any calculations!

2. I can't get it to select what it finds it finds the cell but I don't know how to select that cell once its found.

Dim x, y, z As Long
For x = 1 To 53
