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.

Returning Row Numbers Where One Word Contained In Text String - Multiple Occurrences

Oct 30, 2013

I am trying to identify the row(s) where a match occurs when there can be multiple occurrences of the match.

A
B
C

1
john brown
Brown
True

2
Cathy Smith

3
Brown excavating company

4
XYZ Corp

5
Brown Advisors Inc.

The first test I ran in cell C1 with the information above was to determine if "Brown" was located in the range of A1:A5 using formula:
=IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH("*"&B1&"*",A1:A5,0))=TRUE,"True","False")

In the case of the word "Brown" it occurs in the range of A1:A5 three times, so the result of the above formula would be "True"

Now what I would like to do is return the locations, in this case the row number(s), where the word brown is contained range of A1:A5 because in the case of the word Brown, it occurs three separate times in the range of A1:A5. I would like the resulting value of the formula in this case to be "1, 3, 5" indicating the word Brown occurs in rows 1, 3, and 5. The formula also needs to work in case there is only one match as well.

I tried using the below array formula:
={MATCH(FALSE,ISERROR(SEARCH(B1,'Working List of Vendors'!$A$1:$A$5)),0)}
But it would only return the first occurrence of the match which in this case would be row 1, or "1"

Sep 3, 2009

I need my macros to search for the word "Cancel" or "Cancelled" in columns "T" and "U". Once found, I need the macros to make that entire row an opaque shading.

There will be other wording in these cells that contain "Cancel" or "Cancelled". Is it possible for the macros to search in the sentence and find the words "Cancel" or "Cancelled"

How To Create Third Column With Common Value

Aug 22, 2014

I have two columns(1 and 2), Column two will for each data set have two common values. For most of the data set where column two have the second common value, i can find it based on column 1, but where column 1 differs, i do not know how to get data based on column two.

See attached, column 1 and 2 data. Column 3 I took out one common value, column 4 I just did a IF function to populate blank spaces with common value, but for row 24 - 26 if does not work because column 1 does not follow same logic. Is there a way to populate a third column with one value(can be either of the two common values in column 2(note there will be multiple data sets)?

Matching Data From Common Column?

Jul 7, 2011

Table 1

Code:
7/4/2011AMWG16=01BLK25K_USA[a3]*042711Date a Rich Black Man By June 232350$0.19 http://www.jyxsaw.com/blackrm/index.php?t202id=2676&t202kw=AMWG16=01_0210-3
7/4/2011AMWG16=01BLK25K_USA[a3]*042711Date a Rich Black Man By June

[Code]....

I've got two tables of information here, if you scroll to the far right of table 1 and look at the left of table two, you'll see a common code like:

AMWG16=01_0211-20
AMWG16=01_0212-16

and these entries will appear multiple times as well

AMWG16=01_0212-16

appears twice and the data is different and will need to be added up

How can I:

1. Add up the data on each table with the common string such as "AMWG16=01_0212-16"

2. Take all the data that has been added up and combine the statistics, for example,
when its all done it should show

AMWG16=01_0212-16

in the first column, and then all the statistics from the two tables in the columns to the right.

I'm guesssing...

Since some entries appear multiple times, you will need to sum up all the unique entries for that value. Say:

AMWG16=01_0211-20

Shows up three times, you'll need to sum up all the values and this needs to be done on both tables

THEN

You can combine the data

I'm familiar w/ vlookup, index, match functions, but I'm not quite sure how to put this all together

Getting Most Common Value Of Column That Is Result Of Filter

Nov 1, 2013

I'm applying a filter in a sheet that's something like this, after applying the filter it looks like this (Example Item 999)

Item
Inv. Qty
Avi. Qty
Flag
BOX

999
12
9
N
X1

[code]...

I was trying to get the "Flag" Column value, (inside the filter and it crashed)

Code:
With InventorySheet
.AutoFilterMode = False
LRowOnQ = .Cells(Rows.Count, "Q").End(xlUp).Row
.Range("B1").AutoFilter Field:=2, Criteria1:=Project
.Range("D1").AutoFilter Field:=4, Criteria1:=ContractNumber
.Range("N1").AutoFilter Field:=14, Criteria1:=Code
.Range("Q1").AutoFilter Field:=17, Criteria1:=">0"
Set rangeFilteredInventory = .Range("Q1:Q" & LRowOnQ)
ControlFlag = .Range("L2").Value
End With

After the filter, it always take the same value.

Code:
With InventorySheet
.AutoFilterMode = False
LRowOnQ = .Cells(Rows.Count, "Q").End(xlUp).Row
.Range("B1").AutoFilter Field:=2, Criteria1:=Project
.Range("D1").AutoFilter Field:=4, Criteria1:=ContractNumber
.Range("N1").AutoFilter Field:=14, Criteria1:=Code
.Range("Q1").AutoFilter Field:=17, Criteria1:=">0"
Set rangeFilteredInventory = .Range("Q1:Q" & LRowOnQ)
End With
ControlFlag = InventorySheet.Range("L2").Value

Is there any way to take the most common letter of the result range?

I'm aware there's a average option in subtotal, but I think it's just for numbers.

Code:

With InventorySheet
.AutoFilterMode = False
LRowOnQ = .Cells(Rows.Count, "Q").End(xlUp).Row
.Range("B1").AutoFilter Field:=2, Criteria1:=Project
.Range("D1").AutoFilter Field:=4, Criteria1:=ContractNumber
.Range("N1").AutoFilter Field:=14, Criteria1:=Code
.Range("Q1").AutoFilter Field:=17, Criteria1:=">0"

[code]...

And it doesn't even do the loop.

I would like to have a formula find a specific word in column L and return the sum from column E for the same fund from column C.

I tried using =SUMIF(L:L,"*annual*",E:E) but that gives me the sum of annual for the entire column. I need to be able to specify the fund.

word "annual" also appears in "semi annual" so I need to be able to separate the two.

Macro To Create New Column From Common Words

Jun 4, 2013

I have a spreadsheet with approx 7000 rows, many of which contain the same item but with flavors and other variations on the end. An example would be:

VB:
A B
10142 6kg of whey bundle With Free protein shaker-Banana
10143 6kg of whey bundle With Free protein shaker-Chocolate
10144 6kg of whey bundle With Free protein shaker-Strawberry
10145 6kg of whey bundle With Free protein shaker-Unflavoured
10010 **Bodybuilding Warehouse Premium Whey Probiotic - 2.2kg
10011 **Bodybuilding Warehouse Premium Whey Probiotic - 2.2kg + FREE Shaker

Would it be possible To create a New column (column C) which would display all common words from row b into the New column Like below?

A B C
10142 6kg of whey bundle With Free protein shaker-Banana 6kg of whey bundle With Free protein shaker
10143 6kg of whey bundle With Free protein shaker-Chocolate 6kg of whey bundle With Free protein shaker
10144 6kg of whey bundle With Free protein shaker-Strawberry 6kg of whey bundle With Free protein shaker

[Code] ....

I've attached a larger sample of our list to get a better idea of different variations that are on the spreadsheet.

I think what we need is something similar to this thread[URL] .....

Concatenating Cells Based On Common Value In Next Column?

Apr 23, 2013

I'm using excel 2008 for mac. I've got a spreadsheet with around 4000 rows. The data is organized like this:

|___________URL_________|______EMAIL______|
|Example Domain
|Example Domain
|Example Domain
|Example Domain
|Example Domain

What I'm trying to do is concatenate all of the URLs into one cell so that each email address has only 1 single row with many URLs associated with it. I tried using VLOOKUP(B1, $A$1:$B$4000, 1, FALSE) but this didn't work. I thought it was a long shot anyway. I also tried writing a bash script do parse a csv with this data and create a csv file with the URLs concatenated with no luck. I'm trying to get my data to look like this:

|___________URL_________|______EMAIL______|
|Example Domain
|Example Domain
|Example Domain
|Example Domain
|Example Domain

Where these are 2 adjacent cells.

EDIT: The format didn't turn out like I'd hoped. In the first example, each URL has an associated email address, each in its own row. In the second, it is just one row, with multiple urls in the first cell and an email address in the second cell.

Merge Couple Of Spreadsheets With Common Column / Field

Sep 15, 2013

I have a couple of spreadsheets. all of them have a same or common column called "ID".

The order of the ID columns of the spreadsheets are not in the same order however.

I'd like to see if there is a way that I can merge the spreadsheets to one using the shared ID.

To explain more:
Spreadsheet1 columns are: "ID", "URL", "Location"
Spreadsheet2 columns are: "ID", "Picture"
Spreadsheet3 columns are: "ID", "Address"

As I said copy/past is not an option as the IDs are not in the same order. I need to create a new spreadsheeet and have all "ID", "URL", "Location", "Picture", "Address" in that spreadsheet.

Formula: Delete Rows If Common Data With Another Sheet

Feb 18, 2007

I have 2 spreadsheets of names (~2500 and ~1800) and a bunch of corresponding data continuing down the row. both are structured this same way:

Example:
Row1: LAST, FIRST, data1, data2, data3, etc...

is there a formula which can "check" the larger sheet for duplicate names (a row with exactly the same FIRST and LAST), and then either:
1) delete these rows from the smaller sheet
2) clear the contents of those rows
3) or at least flag them in some way so I can quickly delete them

it would be quite a task to eyeball and remove these rows one-by-one, so i'm wondering if a formula could somehow do it (I don't really know anything about visual basic)

One other piece of information which might be important:
For these rows containing duplicate first & last names between the 2 sheets, the entire row is not a duplicate entry; only the names will match (columns A & B)... The other columns down the row will have different values between sheet1 & sheet2. Not sure if this changes anything....

Returning ROW Or COLUMN

Mar 22, 2007

since my previous post got a little complex I will make it easier so I can continue puzzling myself.

I have a value "10:00"

and a table:
00:00 08:00
08:01 12:00
12:01 14:00
etc

Now I sue LOOKUP("10:00",A1:B3). This will return "12:00"

But I would not want it to return this VALUE but want it to return ROW or COLUMN. I tried ROW(LOOKUP.....) but this doesn't work.

How do I look it up and then return either B, or 2 (in this example)

Once I have this I combine my 3 way lookup by combining my new found knowledge
