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)?

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] .....

I expect to deploy over 200 iterations of a workbook (templates if you will) containing a mix of up to one hundred different attributes each with its own list of valid values. My problem is the attributes don't always default to the same column in every template workbook. Therefore, to make things easier for users I would like to create attribute valid value dropdown lists on the fly using the "Valid Values' table as the source data (see the attached). Since the attribute names will be the same from one template workbook to the next, I wanted to come up with a macro that would reference a source table (a separate workbook) containing all valid values for all attributes which users would be required to download to their local machine.
See the attached example workbooks and an example of a "Valid Values" list. Here's what needs to happen: When a user opens template workbook #1 I need drop down lists containing the valid values for the attributes contained in cell B3 (User Code),C3 (Department) and D3 (Category). Likewise, when another user opens template workbook #2, I need drop down lists containing the valid values in cell B2 (Department), C3 (Group), D3 (Category), E3 (Level), F3 (Material) and G3 (User Code). Notice that "Department", "Category" and "User Code" are data elements common between both workbooks but resident in different columns.

I have a spreadsheet of part #'s, descriptions, manufacturer names, and manufacturer part #'s. (It's a list of the inventory in my warehouse). Each row contains information for just the item in that row. Row 2 references another part in my warehouse, row 3 yet another, and so on.
Many of the parts have more than one potential manufacturer and part #, (meaning that any of those manufacturer's part #'s are basically the same tool; just different brands. At one time we may get a shipment of one, at other times we may get a shipment of another). For example, a screwdriver may be listed like this:
Part # 1234 screwdriver, mfg Snap-On, part # 456, mfg Stanley, part # 789, mfg Mac Tool, part # 439.
Then further down the list, there may be another part listed like this:
Part # 9980 wrench, mfg Stanley, part #741, mfg Snap-On, part # 852, mfg Proto, part # 369.
If you can imagine that data across the cells of a spreadsheet row, notice how the mfg name 'Snap-On' was the first mfg name on the screwdriver, but it was listed as the 2nd mfg name on the wrench.
So, here's my question: I want to be able to group all of the items made by any one manufacturer together in a new list. If all of the manufacturer names were in the same column, I could simply sort the list by that column, but since I've got thousands of rows with the mfg name I'm looking for in different columns on different rows, I thought maybe a macro could search each row for the word I'm looking for, then if found, take the whole row and copy it to a new worksheet. So the end result would be, If I wanted to see all items of which Snap-On is an acceptable supplier, I could get a list of all potential Snap-On items grouped together.
I'm sorry this is so long. I may have over-worded this and it may not be too clear. I could email an example of the spreadsheet if anyone needed more info to figure out what I'm looking for and was willing to take a look at it.

I have already created a VBA Script for other parts of this project, so I would like to add the script to the end rather than create a separate macro. If there is a formula that can do this I am willing to work with that as well.

I have two lists, let's say:
A B
Eva 1982
Anna 1981
Lisa 1983
John 1980
Steve 1972
...
And
A B
Eva Female
John Male
Lisa Female
...
Can in any way match the above lists automaticly, so the information from List number 2, column B, appears at the correct place in List number 1, Column C? For empty cells, no information is fine.

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

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'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.

I have two worksheets. One has columns A B C , the second has columns A B C D. Columns A in the two worksheets reflect the same data (serial number) , although one worksheet could have more rows than the other since it gets updated manually daily. I would like to use a macro that would:
1. use columns A's value in worksheet 1 to match a row in worksheet 2 then merge columns from worksheet 1 & 2 and insert into a new worksheet
2. repreat until all rows in worksheet 1 are read
3. save worksheet 3

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.

I have a model built that calculates the daily Profit and loss ('Data for Pivot' tab, column M). I would like to calculate the cumulative profit and loss and am having a difficult time doing this with a simple formula. The Daily P/L column is empty (#NA value is in the cells) up until cell C138 as there is no data before that (which is the way it is supposed to be). However, once data has begun to be populated the daily profit and loss is shown (in this case from M138 onwards). The issue I am having is that I cannot seem to be able to create a formula that will capture the cumulative P/L. My desired result is evident in cells N179 onwards, as it simply captures the cumulative p/l. However, this only works if I change the formula once data is populated (in this case cell N177 is where i put in a new formula; the previous formula can be seen in cells N3-N176). If I attempt to put in the formula that is in cell N177 for all of the cells in column N, it gives me an error. Thus, I think that this may need to be programmed via VBA, but I have not been successful in doing this. The issue is that the data population in this model begins on different cells based on the different inputs that I put in ('Mov_Avg_Chart' tab, cells c6 and c8). Thus, I can't hard-code a formula based on a particular cell. If anyone can help me with this,
