I have two lists of reference numbers; I need to see if any of the references appear in the other list. I don't want them to be removed, maybe highlighted?
I have made them into one list and used the duplicate conditional formatting but some references appear twice in one list and there is a lot of data so this is not good enough.
I'm working with several sheets, each containing databases of customers that bought different products. I'm trying to do a cross reference so I know which customers has already bought multiple products.
English is not my first language and I might not be able to clearly express what my problem is, so I included a worksheet example.
In the example, you can see that Lea bought an apartment coded with APRT-001 from the first sheet. Lea also bought a condo coded with COND-002. What I'm trying to do is to put a note beside the her entry in the apartment that she has bought COND-002. And vice versa on the COND-002 entry on the second sheet.
What I usually do is combine all the data in one sheet, use Conditional Formatting to point out the duplicate name entries, and work through the whole thing manually. The thing is, there are thousands of names and I need to update the list regularly
formulas i cannot get my head round at all i need e14 to work out how many times cell e1 appears in column h and in column b. so if yes is in e1. it then needs to look down column b and cross refernce it with column h and return the number of yes that appear in column b AND the same row in column h.

To the point i have alot of these cross reference tables. What i mean is table that have a horizontal titelbar (row) and a vertical titlebar (column) and in the table you have the diffrent stats or whatever that can be within it. Im having a really hard time expaining this so im just uploading a excel file with a little explanation of what im after.
I am involved with regional sales and have developed a spreadsheet to track various statistics and information regarding the various cities and clients.
On Sheet1 I have Column A for the city names. Columns B through R are various statistical information (all numerical) associated with that city.
I would like to use Sheet2 to quickly draw that information into a generic "printable" spreadsheet such that I type a city name into Sheet2 A1 and the rest of the cells automatically draw the information for that city into their respective cells.
Looking through other threads I thought that maybe VLOOKUP would be the ticket, but it's only returning a #VALUE! error.
I am having to figure out a particularly painful excel formula. What i need is a formula that will count the number of times an issue label in text shows up, but it has to match a certain time.
we can get the excel sheet to round the time to the nearest thirty minutes, so if a call comes in at 3:12pm it rounds it to 3pm. We label the calls that come in with a issue description also like "dvr issue." So i need a formula that will allow me to count the number of instances where if it says 3pm AND dvr issue it will only count it and give me a total in a specified cell. Is that possible?
I have a spreadsheet with Company A's part numbers, then the number for the same exact part from their rival company or competitor. When searching on our website I need for the customer to be able to find the part even if we are out of stock of Company A's part, we can let them know we have company B's part and it is the exact same part. So I am cross referencing the numbers.
In my spreadsheet I have all of company A's parts in column A and their competitor parts in column B. In another column I have cross reference #'s I did with the concatenate function. Where it gets tricky is one part can have 50 or more numbers associated with it. So far, I have been doing the concatenate for each one. I haven't gotten very far as you can imagine. Is there a way I can have it check a column, then when it finds the same exact numbers have it put the numbers from column B all in the same row seperated by a space(my delimiter)? See image at link. I couldn't figure out how to post the spreadsheet. Maybe I am too new to attach files.

so in the example above, cell E11 has company A's part number, it's own number, then the number above it and the numbers below it. It has every number associated with 74679142.
I am trying to match/cross reference (check by ZIP CODE) two extremely large databases/spreadsheets in MS EXCEL. The vast majority of matches will turn up negative (no match) and only like <5% of all the rows/fields in my 31000+ excel sheet will actually match by zip to the records contained in another sheet (actually this second sheet is a large Seibel Sales database that I exported to Excel for easier access/manipulation) So it would be very tedious and a time waster to manually match the records by hand. My question would be, is there an automated way in Excel (or using any number of Excel addons such as ASAP Utilities etc) that would let the computer do the work for me?
Basically I have two large records, one that I exported from Siebel online to Excel, and the second one is the original work Excel database that I am to work on (ie find matches by zip code and mark them as matched)
Is there a quick way to do this? The power of the computer should really be put to use, but I just don't know /cant figure out how to go about this.
here is the screenshots and explainations if you don't know what I am talking about:
[url]
Just to clarify (I'm not sure I explained it very good)
Imagine two sheets
Sheet #1 <-(Seibel converted to xls) Sheet #2 (xls sheet to be worked on)
12345 --------------------------------54986 (mark as NO MATCH)
84596 --------------------------------25746 (mark as NO MATCH)
24578 --------------------------------12345 (mark as MATCH!)
96328 --------------------------------15789 (mark as NO MATCH)
45897 --------------------------------96328 (mark as MATCH!)
The problem is Sheet #2 is not only five rows, it is like 30000+ rows, and I
will have to do another 30000+ rows soon, so 60000+ to do by hand is very slow indeed.
Also, >95% of all the rows in Sheet #2 will be a NO MATCH with no matching zip codes to ANY of the zip codes of Sheet #1. So less than 5% will actually be a match, but the thing is I have to check ALL of them to actually know which ones match and which don't.
IS there a utility / macro or function in Excel that can quickly let me do this the automated way?
Basically I have two files. File A) Consists of a billing spreadsheet of approximately 2500 orders. File B) Consists of a Customer spreadsheet with about 2400 customers. What I want to know is there a fast way to confirm based on customer last name and customer number that for each customer in file b that there is a billing entry in file a. I've gone the V-look up way which is effective but time consuming also. File A & B are going to get progressively larger and larger; thereby making the v- lookup not a very timewise solution.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a cross-reference database in excel. I am not sure if I am using the correct terminology, so here is what I need to do:
I have three columns that contain text cells, each with different numbers of rows. Now imagine that cell A1 is related to cell B3 and also to cell C5. There are numerous different combinations similar to this. Is there a way to show this relationship between cells in excel. If so, how?
I have these data arranged in three columns as follows:
ABC
91183
112198
***3181
54201
***5***
***6***
***7***
***8***
(where *** stay for blank cells)
I need to "report" somewhere and somehow within the spreasheet hopefully by means of some formulas the following data:
1. for column "C" the maximum value within first group of consecutive numbers that are exceeding 180: in this example equal to 201
2. for column "C" the total number of values within first group of consecutive numbers that are exceeding 180: in this example equal to 4
3. for column "B" the first number corresponding to the first group of consecutive numbers that are exceeding 180: in this example equal to 1
4. for column "A" the corresponding number to the maximum value within first group of consecutive numbers in column "C" that are exceeding 180: in this example equal to 5
and most of all I would like to generalise the problem so that to "report" the same data for all cases that are appearing in the above example;
create parts cross reference table?

I have a spreadsheet that shows a large number of folks we had working in a particular division from Jan. 1st until now, 1800 +. Some of the folks are on the sheet twice due to having more than one role. The sheet lists last name, first name, skill description, pay rate, company they worked at...etc. Most of the folks on the list are not currently working but some are. I have another spread sheet that lists the folks that ARE currently working. I'm trying to see if there is a way to compare the two sheets, via a formula, that will be able to identify when the first name, last name, company name, and skill description are the same and then have those identified deleted from the first sheet.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI want to be able to reference cells in a table by using two drop down lists. One drop down for the columns in the table and another drop down for the rows in the table. The values in the columns will be different metal materials (aluminum, copper, stainless steel, etc.). The values in the rows will be thicknesses of those materials (1/16", 1/8", 1/4",3/16",3/8",1/2",3/4",1"). I already created a drop down list for the materials and another for the thicknesses. But now I want to be able to select a particular material and then a particular thickness and receive back in another cell a value that's cross referenced in a table. Specifically, the values in the table will be the weight of the particular material and thickness per square foot. I'll populate all of the cells in the reference table manually. I'll hide the table on a separate worksheet. i haven't created the table yet.

Is there a way to make a drop-down list optional? When I create drop-down lists the user has to make a choice from that list.
Example: a list of doctors. I need the user to be able to select from that list if the patient saw one of those physicians, but if the patient saw another doctor not on the list, I need the user to be able to enter the name of that other doctor. Currently the user has to select from the list or not enter a doctor. I am using Excel 2003.

Basically I can see the potential here to find out what we've ordered but that which they haven't sent which would be so handy.
I have tried to vlookup() produce code against product code, this kind of works but below are some example drawbacks:-
1) no idea if I've ordered it ten times and they've only not sent it once, or if I've ordered it ten times and they've not sent it nine times.
2) no idea of dates - i.e. ordered this in June '13, October '13 and February '14 and they sent it in February '14 only.
Is there any way to create a cross-validation rule between 2 cells?
For example,
Cell A5 will have one of the following values (AA, BB, or AB) ....
I am trying to match a person's name in the A column (A3) with particular course requirements in Columns B through to BB (ie. B2). Not every person will have taken every course. I have the master list of data on another worksheet with 4 columns of data: A-Student Name, B-Course Name, C-Final Mark, D-Additional Notes.
What I would like to do is have Excel find the student name on sheet one as well as each of the courses listed from B-BB and check sheet two (master data) to find if the student name and course name appear on the same line. If it does I want it to return the value in column C (the final Mark).
I thought that I could do this with VLOOKUP but it only works with the left most column correct? I saw something about a VLOOKUP2 but couldn't find that option in Excel 2007.
Should I use the 'IF' or 'LOOKUP' functions to fill a cell based on the content of another?
If C2 contains 'Cork' I need D2 to read 'Munster'. Indeed I will need D2 to read 'Munster' for a number of different C2 values.
I need to set up a system for recording data into a certain way.
