HUGE List Filtering
Sep 19, 2008
I'm working out some vba script, that could filter up to 300,000 rows long list.
here is sample from that list:
1000999999027FRESH PASTA FETTUCINE WITH TOM102002P N0809100000035000000012810000000+0000000+ 0000000000000000+0203001896409
2000999999027020300189640900000000000005740200070063
1000999999027FRESH PASTA FETTUCINE WITH SPI102002P N0809100000025000000015700000100+0000000+ 0000000000000000+0203001896454
20009999990270203001896454000000000000057010180265125740200070070
As you can see, the rows are starting with 1000 and 2000. And that would be the criteria.
I'm importing the loooooong list file onto sheet1, and i'd like to sort the list so it puts all the codes starting with 1000 onto sheet2 and rows starting with 2000 onto sheet 3.
With regular filtering mode it's impossible and keeps giving errors.
I know it's possible, but i can't figure it out anymore.
I was thinking about to make script that would copy one row from sheet to sheet and loop it. But my mind just crashes doing that.

I'm currently stuck with the following problem. I have a fairly large database with 10,000+ companies (in the rows) over 10 years (in the columns). I want to aggregate industry averages of a financial item in so-called SIC codes (there are approx. 1,000 different 4-digit SIC codes).
I've been using the daverage function, which works for one criterium (e.g. SIC = 0100) but not for the entire range of criteria. Does this mean I'll have to manually adjust every daverage function for every single SIC code? Or can this process be automated in some way?
Attached is a simplified version of my database file.

I have a list of email aliases for my company, approx 10,000 entries, mapping the alias to an email address. Two columns, one the alias firstname.surname, second column being the full email address. I have a second list, a subset of these aliases, approx 1200 of them, that are users of a particular web app. All i have in this list though, is the firstname.surname bit.
What I need to do is compare the lists, and where the aliases match I need to pull out the corresponding full email address from the long list, so I have 1200 aliases in the shorter list, with the full email address mapped to it. Is this possible in excel? i've tried all sorts of LOOKUP functions, and MATCH functions, but none seem to work. MATCH will give me the corresponding row number in the long list, but then it seems to offset itself every row it goes down, so the values are 1 out for every row. First row is good, second row -1, third row -3, fourth row -4 etc.
I don't want to have to manually go through 1200 entries and match them against a 10,000-entry list. Hopefully there's a quick way in excel to filter the long list down to the entries specified in the short list?

I am trying to create a sub-list from a master list based on a column criteria.
Basically, we have a large group of people that are now being split into 3 different sub groups, but still part of the whole. I would like to only upkeep the master list by assigning one of 3 managers to each employee and then having Excel place the employee's info (5 columns) into a seperate worksheet based on the manager assigned (3 seperate worksheets, one for each manager). I have searched through books and Excel help, but still cannot find any formula that can return multiple lines based on one criteria. Am I out of luck and forced to maintain this database with an Auto Filter and manually moving/copying the info?

I have a pivot table with a group # on the left, and team members on the right. There are multiple team members in each group, and each are on a separate line in the pivot table, like this:
Group #Team1chrisdawnsally2cassiechrisdawnkathysally3jimjoejohntomGrand Total
I need to find where "sally" is on the team (easy to do"), BUT I need to display the rest of the team members in the group with her, like this:
Group #Team1Sally, Chris, Dawn2Cassie, Kathy, Sally, Dawn, ChrisGrand Total
Using the concatanate function to put them all into one cell and then filtering for "contains" was all I could come up with, but there are 14,000 groups

I also have a user form with two listboxes, a fruit box and a veggie box. I want to populate each box based on its type. So all of the fruits go in the fruit box, all the veggies in the veggie box. I have each column as a named value (lstKeys, lstTypes, lstName).
Code:
'Add Names

If Range("lstType").Value = "Veggies" Then

I've got two long columns of dates and names. The dates and names can repeat. Eg:
01/01/14
Fred
01/01/14
Joe
01/01/14
Tom
[Code] ........
I want to input a date and create a list of names with only the names from the date I enter and earlier, and excluding names that appear again with a later date.
E.g. if I enter 01/01/14 I'd get:
Joe
Tom
But not Fred, as although he appears on 01/01/14 he also appears with a later date too.

I need to filter a list without the use of the Auto Filter or arrays. I'm importing the list into Xcelsius which doesn't support these functions. I will need to do the filtering with functions.

I have a long list of accounts (for the purposes of of bookkeeping - keeping a cash disbursement journal) and I use data validation that uses this list when I enter an account's name in the journal. Because the list is very long, I often times have to scroll up and down the list in the drop down menu that comes up at a cell I need to populate and when looking for the proper name of the account I needed to be there. I am looking to add a capability to my data validation list use when I would be able to enter several symbols, part of the name of the account I am looking for, and the list of accounts displayed for me to choose from would get shortened based on the symbols I enter. the symbols I enter do not necessarily have to be the first symbols of the account name I am looking for. (as sometimes, I do not remember how exactly the account is called - and so I just guess part of the name ... )

I have a list of 800 fund names that can be any one of 6 types of funds. It is easy to filter the names using the filter function, but I cannot get it to be a filtered list for my dropdown box. The dropdown box should only list those fund names of funds that is of a certain kind. I know I am missing something small.
If the accompanying data is used as an example, I would like a dropdown box with the names of all the I funds.

I'm trying to filter a list between two dates that are selected using drop down lists in Cells CZ1 and CZ2.
The first part of the code works ok ie it filters the list by column 28 as "Shipped" only.
The second part is causing me trouble.
The third part sorts the list by date order based on column 48 and this also works ok.
Code:
Sub FilterTransactionDates()
With Sheet1
.AutoFilterMode = False
.Range("A1:CU1").AutoFilter
.Range("A1:CU1").AutoFilter Field:=28, Criteria1:="Shipped"
.Range("A1:CU1").AutoFilter Field:=48, Criteria1:>=Range("CZ1").Value, Operator:= _
xlAnd, Criteria2:

I have two Spreadsheets, lets call it Spreadsheet 1 and Spreadsheet 2.
Spreadsheet 1 has a list of partial employee names in column A.
Spreadsheet 2 has a list of 500,0000 full employee names in column A and their phone number in column B and address in column C through E.
Basically what I want to do is do a wildcard search for the partial employee name, so like lookup Spreadsheet 1' Column A's *name* in column A of Spreadsheet 2. Based on the number of matches. I want to insert that many blank rows underneath the partial employee name, and paste those matched rows there, then continue to the second partial employee name lookup and repeat the process.
This loop has to repeat 1000 times.

From a table like the one here, how can I generate a list (without spaces) of all the names only? Perhaps filtering by "Mr","Miss","Dr" or something? The result I'm after would be a column on a new sheet that ran:
Mr James
Mrs Milly
Dr McAllister
Miss Aujard
Mr Barker
Mrs Stanley

I have a list of a couple of thousand (and more) individual items. I want to filter the list and have a box for users to type in text (there are no numbers) and the results will be seen automatically reducing in number as more text is entered. (Similar to the Windows HELP files )
eg, typing A (or a) will show all entries beginning with A (without pressing
"Enter" or similar
typing AB will show only entries beinning with AB
typing ABO will show .........I guess you will understand the idea.
I have tried various forms of Filter - Auto and advanced - but still cannot get the spreadsheet to do what I want. Unless I am not doing the Autofilter (or Advanced filter) correctly (I am still a relative beginner!) I still cannot find a way of simply adding letters to a cell or input box and the filtering takes place 'automatically' as the letters are added.

use CTRL+ Navigation Arrow Key on keyboard i.e. if you wanna go to the last Non-Blank row in a column press CTRL+Down Arrow key if your range contains empty cells then use this shortcut SHIFT+CTRL+Arrow key
if you wanna Get the Value of cell in a column you can use this formula
=INDIRECT("A"&COUNTA(A:A))
This formula will work only if there is no Blank Cell in the range.

I have an excel file that is 50mb and I don't know why it is that huge. I did not create this file and was asked to look at it and figure out why it takes 10 minutes to open?
There is 3 tabs and very little data. How can it be so huge?

Is the a more efficient way of sorting a huge sheet (One Column only)? Currently, I use the below code and sometimes it throws an error (due to insufficient memory/ cannot undo this step)
VB:
Sub sort1()
Rows("1:1").Select
Selection.AutoFilter
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").AutoFilter.sort.SortFields.Clear

The project I am currently working on is to extract the from over 25,000 lines of data the top ten of our customers for 2012. Our customers are billed monthly. We have about 2,300 customers. There are several customers who have more than 1 account.
The easy part has been to create a "charges" report and download into an excel format. The information can is alphabetized, but then the challenge comes in. Ideally it would be a snap to total each customer seperately and then somehow be able to extract the top ten from those totals.

I have this table with some information that I need to work with. The data is simple, but it has many issues, at least for me, to be able to work with it properly.
Basically, I just need to transfer part of the data from this table to another table (in another order). I failed to use vlookup because I need more than one parameter to search the data (Date, Shift and Sector).
The problem I am having to get the codes from the source table is that the same code sometimes shows up more than once per date, per shift and per sector. It's also not following a numeric pattern. I couldn't elaborate any combination of formulas to get the info I need....
I also can't change the format of the source table, because I'm not the one who made it, it has years already, and is constantly updated day by day by a good old man who doesn't know much about computers.
The file is attached : Example.xlsx

We just upgraded to Office 2010 and now on many of my regular Excel files, when I open them in the new version, the last row that's visible in the window ends up with some massively huge row height such that you can't even page down past it.
I can resolve it easily by clicking on the row number and re-sizing it, but I'm getting tired of doing that.
What's wrong with Excel 2010?

Is there anyway to put a background on a worksheet, without the file size of the workbook becoming monstrously huge? I have a small jpg file of our company logo, and I think that it would be a nice touch for it to be the background to our spreadsheet. But when I use this 50k file as the background, the workbook suddenly grows to a size of 7MB.

I have a file with 300k lines of SKU data. This is data by month for 12 months (so roughly 25K SKUs per month, with changes in SKUs each month.) I take this data and pivot it and drop it into a file.
I noticed last month when I prepared that the SKUs have names next to them, and sometimes the information is pull by the name instead of the SKU. Unfortunately, in the master data, someone entered different names in a few of the months. So for example, in some months SKU 0012 is Green B and in other months it's Green Beans. I need the names to be the same.
Is there a quick way to fix this given that I'll have 12 records and maybe 3 will be one name and 9 will be there other? Finding and replacing every one is a chore because on pivot there are 40k. I don't think I can do a quick remove duplicates because it would remove multiple months. I just want each SKU to have the same name.
