Generate Text Value Based On Number Of Times ID Number Previously Appeared?
Aug 3, 2012
Is there a function that allows you to read column A for an ID (these may or may not include letters/numbers/"?", are non-sequential and are of variable lengths) and, if it is the first time that it has seen an ID column B will read "sample_1_arm_1", if its the second time it has seen an id it will read "sample_2_arm_1", etc? An example of what I am trying to do on a much larger scale:
I have a sheet with about 20000 rows consisting of hundreds of names which occur randomly.After each name is a date of the type 29-Jan-06.The dates are in ascending order.I wish to print in a third column how long it is in days since that name appeared previously in the list,if it never appeared before this will be zero.
I have a few spreadsheets with a few land transactions. I want to see if the parties involved are male or female, or both (in case of joint titles). And how many. I've tried to use ISNUMBER formulas and COUNTIF formulas but I can't seem to make them work. I've attached an example of what I need to do, the original has many more column with more info, and the names are in a different language which makes it easier to identify as female or not (like 'phany' in english female names etc).
i want to paste text for MB1 in column B like from MB1-1 to MB1-16 and MB1 2-1 to MB 2-16 because MB1 has 2 rows and 16 elements to repeat, for MB2 in cloumn B like MB2 1-1 to MB2 1-3 and MB2 2-1 to MB2 2-3 and MB2 3-1 to MB2 3-3 because MB has 3 rows and 3 elements to repeat like this i want to continue upto MB5
I am expecting like this
A B MB1 MB1 1-1 . . . MB1 1-16 MB1 2-1
[code]....
and i would like to continue this for the rest of text in column A .Here i tried with commond button simple and now i am in position to paste text in a given range but not the way i am expecting.
I am trying to split names across columns. The problem is that some names spilt into 3 columns (first, middle, last), and others split across 5 or 6 (extra names, etc.)
Is there a way to specify split, using SPACE as a delimiter, but only split on the first TWO spaces, then leave the rest alone?
A1:A10 contains text (say colors) and B1:B10 also text (say vegetables). I need a formula to count the number of times a certain combination of numbers and vegetables appear in the same column, so if "red" and "carrot" appeared in A4 and B4 and also in A6 and B6, the result would be 2.
I enter a part number in "D1". The number of components required for that part number is returned in "G1" based on a VLookup. I would like a macro that will copy and paste the part number I enter in "D1" in the first empty cell in column "D" and will paste it once for each component (G1) required. For example, if the number of components required is 4, and the first empty cell in column "D" is "D10", I would like to paste the part number in cells "D10", "D11", "D12", and "D13".
I have a large amount of data and I'm trying to count how many unique values I have in one column. I also want to know how many times each duplicate appears. I tried using a pivot table but it's not working for me.
I also tried the following formula: =SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(H:H,H:H)>0,1)) but it's not quite working.
I am trying to come up with a macro that selects values from one sheet and inserts them into another sheet. The number of values will change each time based on the user's entry, as well as the number of times that each entry should be pasted.
For example:
Entry: X | Y | Z Number of Times to be Inserted to New Sheet 3 | 2 | 1
Result: X X X Y Y Z
I have spent a while trying to figure it out, however the best I can come up with is using an array, but I can only get one value from the array to paste multiple times:
(*Note: In my testing, I didn't insert into new sheet or set up the array to handle different values, I was just trying to get the basic idea to work)
Dim A(1, 3) As Variant A(1, 1) = Range("C3").Value A(1, 2) = Range("D3").Value A(1, 3) = Range("E3").Value
I've tried everything I know (which isnt that much to be honest. lol). Ive tried the frequency formula but that doesn't work the way I want it - I think its probably the wrong formula to use. I've also tried a pivot table but they always vex me. If a pivot table IS the way to go, could someone talk me through it step by step? (*the wizard is just as confusing as doing it yourself I find) ....
I want to count the number of times a word appears in a range (like M9:S663), but sorting it by the month it appears (eg: january = 2, february = 56, march = 2000, etc.)
I managed to do this but there has to be a better way
I have time start and time end and the difference between the two times. In a third column I have profit and want to calculate the profit per hour. When I divide the profit with the time spent I get a very very high number. If I for instance type in 1 hour of work and profit 100, then I get profit per hour 2400. (profit/hours spent)
On a side note I am trying to get the numbers as 24 hours and not use am or pm and in the spread sheet I get these numbers but in the box at the top where you see the formulas etc. it shows as am and pm. I have uploaded an example.
How would I go about counting the number of times TA shows within strings of text in a range within a sheet. Example: TA,MH in cell A2, CB,TA in cell C40, ES,TA in cell Q19. Result would be 3. Ideally, I'd like the formula to reference a cell that has TA as the look up data such as in A1 I'd have TA.
I need a formula that will show the total number of times "text" is entered into a column and when sorted by year that would only show the total for that year. The COUNTIF formula i'm using only works for the total, not when sorted by year.
I have a column C with different text in cells (item's title). Column D - relevant description for each of the items. 100+ rows.
Now, unfortunately, often a spreadsheet with items is updated with many new items. So I get a new spreadsheet with old and new items mixed. I need, somehow, to import descriptions of the old items (Column D of the old spreadsheet) to the new spreadsheet from old spreadsheet. So I want excel to look for old items in column A of the new spreadsheet and, once found, insert a description in the column B from old spreadsheet.
is if there is a way to generate random numbers between 0001 and 9999. I always need to always have 4 digits. The first couple of numbers can be 0 so that I can maximize the number of variations.
i have worked in access using vba procedures. i can easily create a form in access that generates a random integer number between 0 and 20 and the user will guess the number between 1 to 20 if the random number is 16 and the user enters 14 the program will display a msg box saying too low or too high. here is the code .
Option Explicit Private Const MAX = 20 Private Const MIN = 1 Private iKey As Integer Private lTries As Long
Private Function Random() As Integer Random = CInt(Int((MAX - MIN + 1) * Rnd() + MIN)) End Function
Private Sub cmdGuess_Click() Dim lGuess As Long
now i have to do the same thing in excel create a program that will ask the user to enter numbers between 0 to 20 and see if the random number and user guess is same or not. but i have never worked in excel using vba procedures how can i achieve the same thing in excel using a vba procedures.
I'm wanting some sort of formula to generate a reference number that relates to numbers i put in a cell. i want the end result to look something like this:
As you can see id like it to generate a reference number to the number that i input, and also when i input that number twice or three times it picks that up on the reference number also.
I want to get number (going from 1 to 15 (for example)) when i click on commandbutton (on userform without textboxes, combos , etc, ..... except only one commandbutton)!
In other words, when i click on commandbutton, i want to get (on msgbox) number 1, then when i click again on commandbutton, i want to get number 2, then when i click on it third time, i want to get number three on msgbox window, and so on until i close userform!
In column A on sheet1 I have a list of unique numbers . On sheet2 I have a list of unique numbers that are available. I am currently using this formula,
to look at sheet2 and tell me what number is next after I copy it to sheet1. My problem is how do I automatically generate the next number onto sheet1(by double clicking) and have that number removed from sheet2?
I'm looking for something one step deeper than a countif. I need something that will tell me what iteration number it actually is within the countif, in relation to date, as shown.
Name Date Iteration #
[Code]....
Any formula that could be used to do something like this?
each time a button is clicked I want a new ref number to be produced and displayed on my userform. I can't however create the code to generate this ref number.
In column A of my 'sweeplog' worksheet is where I want the ref number to be placed. This ref number is simply made up of today's date - in format ddmmyy eg 240408 for today 24th April 2008 then add the number '1' if its a new date or the next number in coulumn A if not.
for example In column A I have these 3 ref numbers A2 = 2404081 (24th April 2008 plus 1 as this is the first ref used today) A3 = 2404082 (as above but with 2 added) A4 = 2404083 (as above but with 3 added)
now tomorrow the next ref number that would be shown in column A (after the user clicks the button) would be as follows.....
A5 = 2505081 (25th April 2008 plus 1 as this is first ref used on 25th)
I am able to get this unique ref number to show in my userform but can't figure out how to produce the code to generate it
I have a cell (B4)that may contain several different text values, i.e. Bill, Tom, John, Mike, Larry, & Dan. The value in cell D4 needs to relate to what text is in B4, i.e Bill = 6; Tom = 12; John = 8; Mike = 20; Larry = 15; & Dan = 10. I was trying an IF statement, but having trouble.
I need the easiest way to randomize or generate team numbers in a league. Using COL A assign numbers between 1 & 8 without duplicates. Then repeat 5 more times. This has to be done on the spot and has time constraints as the players will be waiting for their team assignments.
EXAMPLE: I have 48 players which will be assigned to 8 teams of 6. I want to randomize the drawing so the same players don't play on the same teams each week. Also to be able to adjust number of teams determined by how many players are present. either 6 , 8, or 10 teams.
I facing a problem to generate request id number. Actually i need to generate id like example "RQ1013-01" where "RQ" is constant word, "1013" is month and year while "-01"is generated number. and every month i want the id number start from -00 back. thus in a month there is only 99 request is available.
