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.

the following issue:
I have a spreadsheet of questionnaire responses which range from 1-7
For example:
Respondent Q1
1 4
2 3
3 7
4 6
So each row is a new respondent and each column is their response from the scale.
What I need to do is code the responses into a different form. I need them to be represented as follows:
Respondent Answer1 Answer2 Answer3 Answer4 Answer 5 Answer 6 Answer 7
1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0
2 0 0 1 0 0 0 0
So that each number then represents the place on the scale from which it was chosen.
I tried recording a macro but I think this requires something a lot more complex.

I have a list of text values in column X. I need to come up with a formula in column Y.
X
Y (RESULTS OF REQUIRED FORMULA)
Comment
1
HAT
1
First HAT in column
2
[Code]....
I can't play about with the natural order of the spreadsheet, so there's no chance I can re-sort the data into column X and (easily) identify the duplicates that way. So, it could be that the duplicated value(s) will appear in any cell within that column.
I need to identify whether the item is a duplicate in the unsorted list. Ideally, the first entry of a set of duplicates will be given 1, then the subsequent duplicates themselves given a 0 (zero). It's to subsequently do some counts on.
I guess that as long as the one of the entries in the duplicates is marked with a 1, while the others are 0 (zero), that's all that's important.

I need a spreadsheet to record the number of calls taken by my staff YTD, and have it laid out as follows:
Column A Column B Column C
1 Date Calls Taken Increase
2 01/01 10
3 02/01 13 3
4 03/01 19 6
-19
etc.
The "Increase" is a simple =B4-B3 etc. But, there is a problem...
Say for example a member of staff is ill one day and therefore doesn't take any calls, I end up with a 'blank' cell in column 'B'...
Column A Column B Column C
1 Date Calls Taken Increase
2 01/01 10
3 02/01 13 3
4 03/01 19 6
5 04/01 -19
6 05/01 25 25
My problem is the increase in calls from 03/01 to 05/01 YTD ISN'T 25, it's 6.
Is there a formulae I can use that works out the difference between the latest number of calls taken and the last number of calls taken (excluding the 'blank' cells)?

i have with noting the most recent date of a test and also the one prior to the most recent dependant on location and test type. I require most recent and previous test info to enable a comparrison to be made. All other dates are not required but need to be kept as historical data and can't be deleted.
Is there anyway i could get column E to auto populate and amend itself as more test dates and locations are added to the list?

I've written the following code to insert rows at certain points depending on certain conditions, looping through to the last row. However, as the last row number keeps moving, due to inserting rows, I am not sure how to alter the code to allow for this.
Dim LastRow As Long
With ActiveSheet
LastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
End With

I've got data output (~500 rows) that's going into a larger, formatted sheet. The data going into the sheet is about 8 columns of material and the formatted sheet has over 20 columns (the rest to be filled out by the engineers). I'm tacking the new information to the bottom of the sheet (in the corresponding, non-consecutive columns), but the question now is how to format it.
Each location has recommendations, about 1-5 rows. What I want to do is insert a row after each different entry (probably by location address) so it will be more visually accessible (this is the format of the sheet).

I'm trying to create a drop down list which returns values based on what has been selected in the previous drop down list in the adjacent cell, e.g. if 'Apples' is selected in the previous cell then you should only be able to select from 'Gala, Granny Smith', or if 'Oranges' is selected you should only be able to select 'Seville, Blood Orange'. Is there a formula which would do this, or can I use a pivot table somehow? I'm totally stumped.

I need to have a drop down list which displays a different set of values depending upon the value selected by a previous drop down list. ie. (drop down box 1)= x, y, z. (drop down box 2)= either x1, x2, x3, or y1, y2, y3, or z1, z2, z3. I can produce a single drop down box thats not a problem but linking several drop down boxes is beyond me .

I need a VBA code which tells me the date of previous monday of any date. The user types in any date to the cell A1, and I need the date of previous monday to be inserted to the cell A2.
For example:

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

I have a large set of data that I need to use for data validation in drop down lists. The data is arranged in 4 columns and entries within each column may repeat numerous times. The four columns are as this..
Category Subcategory 1 Subcategory2 Subcategory3
The first data validation will come from the first column. Once this is chosen the second drop down should populate with the subcategory that correspond to that category stored in column 2. once that is chosen the thrid data validation should populate with the corresponding subcategory from column three etc.. This is a small sample of the data in the columns.

I have a workbook with 4 drop down lists. The selection in list 1 determines what is shown in list 2. I wish to have list 3 dependant on list 1 also, but don't know how to associate 2 drop down lists with the same previous cell.
The first list is in cell C2 and the table of data needed for list 3 is AC8:AC27-AO8:AO27,including the column titles.

Insert a drop down list that is attached to a bunch of data to make it easier to navigate through the data.
Therefore, when you chose one item in the list it will populate data in the worksheet for that item in the list and change for each item in the list.
For example, if you have ten people's names in the list when you pick Nancy it will show you information on her and when you pick Scott it will populate with completely different data. The data all coming from one master tab.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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'.

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.

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!

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).
