Flag Matches Across Several Columns
Jan 8, 2007
I have many small spreadsheets of data organised into 4 columns and anything upto 250 rows. I want to be able to test if all the cells along each row have the same data in each of the 4 cells, so 4 occurences of the same thing. Each row of data will be different. (I'm not intertested in matching the data going down the column).
However, I won't know with each spreadsheet what is the exact data I will be looking for - if all 4 cells don't have the same data, that is fine as this will then require my manual attention which is the purpose of my project.
I just want to avoid having to check through lots of rows of data where all the data does already match.
The data will usually be text but it can be IP addresses and numbers too. I need a formula or set of operators to use for is exercise.

sorting duplicate e-mails across three columns in an Excel spreadsheet.
Precisely, I have three mailing lists (Column A, B, and C) that I would like to sort.
I would like to know what e-mail addresses appear in more than one Column (Mailing List), and I would like to highlight/flag them somehow.
I have attached an example spreadhseet that contains fake e-mail addresses for test purposes. As you can see, some e-mail addresses are duplicated or in triplicate across the 3 Columns. In other cases, an e-mail address may be unique to a specific Column.
In my real spreadsheet, I have approximately 3,500 rows and 3 columns.

Columns A, B, and C have data (first name, last name, state) - 125k rows. Columns F, G, and H have data (first name, last name, state) - 5k rows. Some of these individuals are bound to appear on both lists, and I need to know which ones are indeed on both lists. So in other words, let's say I've got "John" "Doe" "TX" in cells F1, G1, and H1, respectively. I want to search through columns A, B, and C to find out if there are any instances in those columns of "John" "Doe" "TX" in the same row.
I'm thinking there will be multiple VLOOKUP formulas involved, but I could be way off.

How do I compare 2 columns and then flag where there is duplication? I want to compare Column B against column C and then flag everywhere there is a match. In this case, Column B may have several thousands of entries (inclusive off all entries found in Column C) and I want to have Excel look through the thousands of entries in Column B and then just place an "x" where there was a match to the values found In Column C. For example:
Excel 2003ABC1Duplicate?MarchApril27899421458347889122254x21458112575445576332147x122258x11257921463Sheet1

I'm glad founding this great forum. I have learned a lot in the last few months.
Now I need to do a task and can't find online a tutorial for this. Here is what I need:
File A contains 23 columns with info for 300 products (rows). File B contains same columns for 280 out of the 300 products from file A, plus 40 new products.
I need to flag in file A the 20 products that are not in the file B, plus flag in file B the 40 products that are not in the file A.
The structure, columns, etc are the same for both files.

If a row starts with T3:X3 matches up with the rows in range T6:X8605 then goto that matching row... perhaps could be done with a macro?

I've been searching for a method to compare two large columns of numbers and remove replicates from the "main" column. Column A has all the numbers that are in column B and many more. I want to remove all the numbers from column A that are in column B. The result being two columns with no matching numbers. (or a third column that has only the numbers from 'A' that are not in 'B').
My search results on this forum have found results that compare rows for matches & can make deletions; and also one method that could mark all the entries that were duplicates in both columns, but nothing to remove them. The datasets I am using have over 400k entries in some columns, so manual removal of marked ones is not feasible. I need an automatic deletion method.

I have a macro that I am working on which I have gotten stuck on. It compares Column A and Column C and any numbers which match are pasted into Column D.
What I am getting stuck with is I need to copy and paste the data for column B to Column E as well. So in other words.
If column A and B match then the number from Column A that matches B will be pasted in column D along with the value that is right next to it in Column B.

I want to compare two columns (from two different files, but copied into a new sheet) for duplicates or identical entries. But here's the trick, each entry contains atleast a number of digits. I'm not quite sure how to find items that may be 80% identical (in the right order, but might be messing a digit, or there is a dash or a 'o' instead of a '0'). I know how to do it in C++ or Java, but not quite sure how to do it in VBA/macro. Here's an example of what I meant. Let's say column one has the following:
0244-34
9393-O0
3932-44
and second column has
939300
493384
938923
If I was comparing second column to first column, it can pick up the 9393-O0 one because it's close enough to 939300.

I know there is a forumla to compare a small database to a list, but can't find it (I used to use French Excel).
Here is an example :
In a sheet, my small database :
(in two different cells)
Value1 and ValueA
Value2 and ValueB
Value3 and ValueC
etc...
In another sheet, my list :
I have a list where there's a lot of Value1, Value2... in one column, and in the next column, a lot of ValueA, ValueB....
I want to check in my list : if I have Value1, then, on the same row (next column) I have ValueA, if I have Value2, then, I should have in the same row (next column) ValueB....
And if I have Value1 and in the same row (next colum) ValueB, I want some kind of "Error" text.
Can't find this function nor (of course) the criteria to use it correctly.

I have two columns, one with the target text (D:D) and one with text I want to compare it too (A:A). If the text in column (D:D) matches the one in (A:A), I want to return the value in (B:B). I attached a sample of the problem i'm dealing with.

Column A = numerical IDs, multiple entries, may have duplicates that should only be counted once in comparison
Column B = numerical IDs, multiple entries, may have duplicates that should only be counted once in comparison
Need: 1 cell that compares all of the A range to all of the B range and returns a a percentage of repeats. So, if there are 50 entries in A, and only 40 are unique, and B includes 10 repeats (unique, not multiple), then the returned value would be 25%.

I've just started with VBA and are trying to figure out following:
I'm using a validation list where the user choose one of twelve alternatives. The option she or he made is found in one or more rows in column B. If there is a match between the alternative in the validation list and in column B I want to copy some of the cells in the same row as the match in column B (to be exact, I want to copy the cells in column E, J, N and P) to another sheet.
I've succeeded doing this with one row but I don't know how to do without using that same code over and over again until Excel has made it trough all the rows. And there is over 200 of them.

I have two sheets with pretty much the same content but not exactely. I need to compare the data from the first sheet to the data in the second sheet in this way:
data from column b (numbers) in the first sheet needs to be compared to data in column b in the second sheet. if this dosen't match it needs to go to the next line.
if the match is positive it needs to compare the data from column d on the first sheet to the data on the second sheet same column and copy the data from the first sheet's column d to the second sheet's column d. But only if the data in column d on the first sheet isn't blank. If it is it should leave the data on column d second sheet intact.

I am trying to use a "=COUNT(IF(..." formula to count the number of hourly employees that have start dates older than 3 years. Column A has the start dates and column B has the salary status (S/H). =COUNT(IF(AND(A2:A1000<DATE(2004,1,1),B2:B1000="H"),A2:A1000)) This formula returns 1 no matter what I change the data to.

I have a workbook with two sheets imported from different sources. Sheet 1 is an AdHoc query from an Oracle 10g based program. Sheet 2 (PBIC 8 in my file) is a report generated from a property accountability program. The information from Sheet 2 is manually inputted into the Oracle program that generated Sheet 1.
I would like to have a macro that would compare the cell contents in columns "RegistrationNbr" (column S) and "SerialNbr" (column T) with the cell contents in Sheet 2 (PBIC 8). The match in Sheet 2 could be an identical match or part of a longer string. The matching cells in both sheets should be highlighted.
One thing to be considered is the column names in Sheet 1 will always be the same but the column letter designation may change base on the fields selected in the AdHoc query.
I didn't realize my file was too large and didn't upload.

I am working on a list of agents and I want to get rid of the duplicates. I know I could use conditional formating to highlight the duplicate names but it conditional formating won't allow me to find duplicates based on three cells in a row. My code below works to an extent but it misses some of the duplicates in the list and I don't know why. I have check the cells of the duplicates and they are an exact match.
Sub SearchDups1()
Dim rFnd1 As Excel.Range
Dim rFnd2 As Excel.Range
Dim iCount As Integer
Dim iEnd As Integer
Dim sAdr1 As String
iCount = 2
iEnd = WorksheetFunction.Match("zzzzzzzzzz", Sheet2.Range("D:D")) + 1
Do
Set rFnd1 = Sheet2.Cells(iCount, "D")
Set rFnd2 = Sheet2.Columns("D:D").Find( _
What:=rFnd1, LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlPart, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:=True)..............

Most likely another very basic on...
2 worksheets.
Worksheet 1, holding all data in column C.
Worksheet 2, the value in column B.
In need for a function that list all exact matches of the values in worksheet 2 column B that are found in Column C of worksheet 1.
I got this VBA code that checks for the string in worksheet 2, column B, but it is a Instr, and I need a exact match and only the exact match. Is this difficult to modify and how?
Or would this be a regular array function?
(I would not need a macro, since the data change constantly and I prefer function as they update easily)
Function matchArray(ByVal testString As String, ByVal dataRange As Range, Optional IndexNum As Long) As Variant
Dim outRRay() As String
Dim rangeArray As Variant
Dim xColl As New Collection
Dim xVal As Variant
Dim rIndex As Long

I have two excel sheets exported from two sources of information. Both sheets contain 1 column which is the primary data, ie, there is no duplicate of that information. Each information in these column represent 1 device in the real world.
Now, for example:
In one sheet, I have: SDV0620B
In the other sheet, I have: SSDV-B0620B
Please note that, both data actually represent the same device. What I now need to make sure is that, I ccan identify each corresponding data from the two sheets.
So, here is the problem that I am facing, identifying two data which are same but has two different representation techniques. (since the data are from two different sources)
I came up with the idea that, if I can check the sequence of characters with one column to another, then I might be able to pull it off.
For example,
we take SDV0620B, and match the sequence of character with SSDV-B0620B.
therefore, first is S (from SDV0620B)
match with SSDV-B0620B
then, D
match SSDV-B0620B
then V
match SSDV-B0620B
and so on, until the end.
And if the 1st sequence is found in the second sequnce of characters, then it is called a match! Hope I have explained it clearly. I have provided a file with some of the data copy and pasted out, to give you an idea of what the values look like.

I have two sets of data from columns A:N (O is blank) & P:AC. Column A & P are account numbers. I want to compare columns A & P for exact matches, there will never be any duplicates in either of these columns by themselves. If there is a match I would like that entire row to align, if there is no match I would like a row to be inserted. I have attached a copy of a worksheet of what I am looking to have done.

Lets see if I can put this into words.
I am trying to find matches of a specific cell in various columns. Example:
Header 1 -------Header 2----------Header 3
-ABC123-----------abc123--------------abd123
-abd123-----------hjk321---------------hdn234
-Abc123-----------dsd123--------------sds332
If I searched for the value "abc123" I want it to return Headers 1 and 2 in a seperate column. It would not matter if the same value is in one column multiple times
So the results would show me the Column Heading for anything that reads: "abc123", "ABC123", "AbC123", "aBC123"
Is this possible?

I have two lists, one has 250 items, the other 4500, both contain a String
I need to compare any word within a cell in the short list, against any word within a cell in the long list.
The returned value needs to display both the short list item, as well as the long list item for manual comparison by an analyst.
