Finding Duplicates - Variation On Previous Threads
Jul 9, 2013
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)

First HAT in column

[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.

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.

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 have data that has about 10 duplicate values (UTC Time) in one column and another column with number values (depth ft) that vary. I need to obtain the maximum (highest) value in the depth column and remove the other duplicates to filter out the low values. So for the data example below for UTC 15:56:28 I only want the 5.7 row, for 15:56:29 I want5.3 row and so on. I can attach the sheet. - this is a huuge dataset so manual filtering wont work. Data is from a sonar that gives 10 depth readings per second - I only need one depth tat is the highest value.
IDUTCDepth (FT)
115:56:284.3
215:56:284.4
315:56:285
415:56:285.4
515:56:285.7
615:56:285.5
715:56:285.6..........

I have a workbook that I want to find if I have any duplicate numbers in a specific area.
The area of cells that I am checking is C3 through AO70
I am checking for numbers between 95 and 800. These are all ID# of individuals and not all the numbers between 95 and 800 are used. IE: 97 through 100 are not used ect.
I have already written a macro that does something else and I can use it to check each number as it comes up. However, once the number comes up I don't know how to use it to check the area.
If I can check all the area at one time to find duplicates it would be easier.
I do not know how to do either way but I can adapt my macro to whatever way is possible.

way to wrap or format anything in this post. I dont think the text I put here is code, but I want to be sure, after receiving a moderators infraction for failing to properly wrap code in a previous post.
Now:
I have a wks in which the first column is a list account #'s and the folowing columns are specifics of transactions or interactions.
Lets say it is a movie rental customer list that lists each rental, and column "A" is the customer number, column "B" declares if it was returned late.
I need to compile a list of "all" rentals by customers who have "EVER" had a "late return" or a "YES" in column "B".
I need to find all account records/rows of accounts that at any time had a "YES" in column "B" even if the some or many of that customers rentals/entries have "NO" in column "B"
so say: ...

I have to scrub files of 20,000 phones numbers against a file of several million phone numbers on the national do not call list.
On sheet one I have all 20,0000 phone number and then on sheet two in 5 columns I have roughly 2 million phone numbers. I need to know if any of the 20,000 phone numbers are in the 2 million on sheet two.
Right now I am simply using a vlookup formula but it is taking a very long time to update all of the fields.

I have a spreadsheet with 7000 lines exported from a database. I'm looking for lines that exist with an @@2 that don't have a corresponding @@1. Let me explain.
SV10000000@@1
SV10000000@@2
SV10101000@@2
I want to keep the first two lines because there is an @@1 associated with an @@2. I'm looking to single out and delete lines that have @@2 that don't have a corresponding @@1 associated with it.

Hello everyone....
I have a project where I need items for different boxes.
i have 20 boxes that need the same amount of items. However, when I came towards the end, i ran out of items.
For example
BOX A IS MISSING
ITEM 1 AND 2
BOX B IS MISSING
ITEM 2 AND 5
BOX C IS MISSING
ITEM 1 AND 5
I have all in a spreadsheet all the items that are missing per box. Here comes the main question....
How do I program my spreadsheet find the items that are missing in each box and summarize in another sheet?
The summary I am looking for is....
ITEM 1 - 5 (MISSING)
ITEM 2 - 9 (MISSING)
and so on...
I started doing the code, but I haven't got too far.

I have two lists of numbers.
The first list contains site numbers of people who havent responded to me.
The second list is the master list of site numbers along with a column showing the date they responded.
Now, a site number is built like this:
123456/0001
123456/0002
So it is possible for the same 6 digits to appear more than once in the master list.
What I need to do is to compare the first 6 digits in the non responder list against the master list, because some sites, like the example above, may have more than one '0001' tag and so if they have responded to me from site '0002' I dont want to spam their other sites with emails.
I've tried using match and various formulas I've found from google etc, but nothing seems to work!
The goal of this is to get a list of non respondents that have not responded from any of their sites listed in the master list.
Non Responses
Master List
Date of Response
203289/0001
201162/0003
06/06/12

I have a database with ~18000 rows and 29 columns. I would like to filter the data by duplicates in one column, based on total, but keep the remaining data in the row. For example: I have account numbers listed in one column, often duplicates. I can get the total in a pivot table no problem, but need the other data associated with that account. I do not need to see all accounts, only duplicates for accounts listed say greater than 5 times. The data in columns B+ are important.
I have a HUGE vlookup I created to paste in the pivot table data (account numbers and totals) to run a look-up based on those numbers, but I see that running into problems when you run 4k+ look-ups.
I want to see accounts listed only 5+ times, include that total (as in a pivot table) and the remaining 28 columns. I have tried to run this in a pivot table completely, but still too much data to process (plus all the subtotals that I have to keep removing).

I have over 400 thousand rows in my data-set and I'm trying to find duplicates using a countif or similar formula. Let's say I have the following:
Blue
Yellow
Green
Blue
Blue
Yellow
Pink
I need the formula to increment the count. So for example, the first time Blue appears, it equals 1, the second it appears, it equals 2, third time is 3 and so on.
And, I need it to actually work with 400 thousand rows. I have tried using the following formulas without success as Excel keeps crashing:
=IF((COUNTIF(T:T,$T2)>1),COUNTIF(T:T,$T2),"")=IF(COUNTIF(T:T,T2)>1,2,1)
That second one equals "2" if there's more than 1, which will work for me as well. Better would be if it increments though.
The purpose of having a count is so that I can pivot the data, then filter out all the "1"s and report on it. Therefore I can't use conditional formatting, or simply using Excels Remove Duplicates feature. I need the same data-set for other pivots and charts.

Been getting into Excel recently for my job and have been learning things at a quickened pace, which is nice. However, I have ran into the same problem everyone else has, at one point in their Excel career, run into. I need to sort merged cells.
I am sure you are thinking "Unsort" or "do you really need to merge them?" Well when dealing with nearly 300 names, the amount of sorting become monotonous. I am sure this will not be the first time (it's actually the second) I will need a macro like this.
The current set up is:
4 merged > 2 merged twice > 4 single
If you need additional information on the format let me know, but I am looking specifically at the 4 merged into what I'll be sorting.

At present i have a conditional format on dupllicates, but is is a big task to scroll down through all the data looking for them.

I have a list of surnames, and I want to use the vlookup to find all the Smiths in the list, obviously a basic vlookup only brings back the first Smith it finds….

I am using a spreadsheet as a score sheet for a competition. One of the columns is the student's GPA. After entering all the scores there are duplicate final scores. I need a way to have it look at the final score and then use the GPA so that it will not put a duplicate value in the final column.
al Column N is the Total Column, Column O has the Names that correspond to the Total Column. Currently I am taking this total and putting it into Column Q (High Scores) in high to low order. Column R should have the names that match the scores. But with duplicate scores, it is only putting the first name associated with the score. I would like to use the GPA as a final determining factor for the duplicate scores. The higher GPA would come before a lower GPA. I have tried to put an additional column to bring the GPA over to correspond with the High Scores Column, but could not get it to work.There are actually more names for the competition and the top 10 will be moved to a different sheet and further judged. I have attached a sample with the exact formulas that I am using.

I am trying to find a solution to a vlookup issue. I have attached to this post a sample excel file which will make it easier to understand. I have data in one table (Table 1) where the records consist of addresses with street field, city and zip. These records have to be flagged based on the street address (number and street name provided the city or zip is the same) with a flag called "Type"(as an example Type 1 or type 2, etc).
Than I have another table (Table 2 or the lookup table) that has unique adrresses with the "Type" field that needs to be brought over to Table 1. The issue that I run into is that addresses in Table 1 have variations such as 25 Main Street can be as 25 Main St., or 25 Main St, or 25 Main st., Apt 2, which all should be recognized as 25 Main Street. All we care is to flag 25 Main Street with it's appropriate flag from Table 2.
Data in Table 1 can be in the 100k or more records in some cases so any manual intervention would be very time consuming and not efficient. Now I've tried doing lookup only on the 3 or 4 left characters of this field but than you get thrown a curveball when the address is for example 25 Maitland Avenue, which will falsly flag them as 25 Main Street. Plus house numbers can be 25 Main, or 255 main 2554 Main or 2 Main, so it is not functional to use the left function nested within vlookup. This issue seems to be more of a logical validation, which I don't know how to approach. The best way to think about this is when you go print a priority label on the USPS website and they correctly validate your address eventhough you might have mistyped your address.

(First please don't send me a link on how to subtract time or show Negative time. I know about 1904 ect.. I can't use that. I need a variation on the formula I am using if possible)
A1 I have a time
A2 I have a time
A3 I have a formula subtracting A2 from A1
The times will vary in A1 & A2. Sometimes A1 will be earlier or later thus giving me negative or positive times. I have a formula that will give me a correct answer but will always show either Positive or Neg depending on what I put in the last part of the formula "-H:MM or H::MM" =TEXT(MAX($A$1:$A$2)-MIN($A$1:$A$2),"-H::MM") in A3. I want it to do the subtraction but say if A1 is > than A2 then "-H::mm", If A1 is < A2 then "h::mm". I don't know if that is possibly or how to incorporate that into what I have.
