I have a range B1:B20. These cells are populated by the user and I want to ensure that no two entries are the same. Is there a way of presenting a dialog box that prompts the user to enter a different value if the value they are trying to enter is already entered somewhere in the range?

I have created a userform to add a new user and his/her password to a list of usernames and passwords (which i use for login procedure). Now, as the login name must be unique, I would like the userform to disallow existent usernames from being added. How do I go about doing this?
View 9 Replies View RelatedUsing frequency in a data validation formula for ensuring unique entries.
Currently I use COUNTIF($B$2:$B$244,B2)
Each product is represented by a serial number (column A).
The can be sorted on column A from smallest to largest prior to calculating results if that helps.
The repair list contains 1 entry per spare part used, so the same serial number may occur several times.
Furthermore, a product may have been repaired on several instances - so the serial numbers can span several dates (column B).
The solution i am looking for should return the number of unique repair dates per serial number. That way i can see, how many times each product has been repaired. Results can be displayed in an individual column.
Sample list:
Serial........Repair date

I have created a very simple form. I want the user of my spreadsheet to fill in 1 cell in each section of the form, but they will have a choice of a couple of cells to fill in. For example, they can fill in one cell with the temperature in Fahrenheit or another cell with the temperature in Celsius. I want Excel to stop the user from putting data in more than one cell. (This way they can't put in a value for both boxes, which could confound their outcome.)
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a formula that calculates the number of rows in a spreadsheet. I would like the results of that formula to complete a range description. For instance, if the range would be expressed as A1:A20 (for a file with 20 rows), and the result of the formula (the cell enty) for a different file is 35, I would want the range to be expressed as A1:Ax, where x is equivalent to the result of the formula (effectively A1:A35, but expressed with a reference to the cell with "35" in it, not the 35 itself).
I've found part of my answer from searching for a previous thread and altering to suit my needs.
I've got the array formula:
=SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(IF(D2:D20000"",MATCH("~"&D2:D20000,D2:D20000&"",0)),ROW(D2:D20000)-ROW(D2)+1),1))
This gives me the correct number of unique entries. What I'm after is the number of unique entries that start with 1042
i need to filter and delete duplicate values. where i have some issues is that i just need keep the first entry and delete the second (and so on) entry. means when i have a list with ids and hours like that:
id1 hours1
id1 hours2
id1 hours3
id2 ...
i need to have id1 and hours1 but delete hours2 and hours3. hours is the result of a formula. i tried with advanced filter but it somehow just hides me the duplicates and it sums me the hours.
I enter for example in a cell : 0625-C0/01
sometime 0 is entered as O a letter and not zero.Is there a way to ensure that only 0 (zero) is allowed in that string using data validation rules.
ID = 1: The B Number is the same for entries of ID =1. Thus where ID = 1 and Last is indicated, Cost = 10.
ID = 2: The B Number changes four times. In cell G20 (Last of all ID =2) Cost = 20+30+40+30 = 120. You are basically summing at each instance the B Number changes.
ID = 3: Cell G24 = 100 +30 (two instances of B Number changing)
ID = 4: B Number is always the same. Cost = 50
ID = 5: B number changes 3 times, Cost = 50+120+140 = 310
In essence, the idea is that if the ID matches for all rows of particular client, the total cost = individual cost. However, if the ID changes multiple times for a single client, the total cost becomes the sum of changed costs, but not the entire column, just summing at each instance it changes. And this summed cost must be entered whenever we see the last instance of a unique ID (This is indicated using Column F).
The problem that I'm running into is that currently I am doing this manually with my actual data set (has nearly 200,000 rows). What excel function or VBA code could I write to automate this entire process?
my formula is in B1. If in A1, there is letter Y, the value in B1 should accept only 3-digit numbers.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to set up a data validation to ensure that when a user enters a number in column A that matches a previously entered number in column A, the user is only allowed to enter the same date for the number it matches in column B.
For example, if:

and
Row 3 column B = 16-Dec-07

Is there a way to make Advance Filter show the most recent (highest row)unique entry instead of the first entry (lowest row)?

I want to keep the "1 3", "2 3", and "3 3" entry, not "1 1", "2 1", and "3 1".
I'm making a user form in excel/vbe, that will enter data into a worksheet behind the form. I would like to make a unique reference number that is automatically generated by the form as the next in the series. It can be as simple a number as 00001 so nothing too complicated I hope.
When the user opens the user-form i would like the reference to appear on the form so that they know what it is. Then when they enter the data I want the number to go in the database with all the rest of the info they have entered and also for a message box to come up reminding them to rememeber their number.
I have the formula but it will always change when i shift my cell down
=MAX($G$21:G35)
When I shift my cell G21 down, it will change to below
=MAX($G$22:G35)
The problem is that I do not want the formula to change. How can I do it ?
I have a percentage in R3.
If I make an entry in D13 then I want the R3 to be duplicated into C27 otherwise C27 should be 0.

I would like to check if there's a way to count the number of unique value with a given condition
Eg. condition where parcel count <> 0, also want to find out the unique value of district and postal sector
Attached is the files, and my desired result is highlighted in RED.
Excel 2007.I have a list of postcodes (UK) which have different lengths of characters (including spaces) from 6-8, however our system seems to add additional spaces inbetween the postcode, so it could have upto 11/12 characters (inc spaces) Below is what could come out:
EH21 6PQ - 1 Space (8 Char)
EH12 9HG - 3 Spaces (10 Char)
E1 8DF - 3 Spaces (8 Char)
LL5 1GH - 2 Spaces (8 Char)
L5 1FG - 1 Space (6 Char)
What I need is a formula to ensure each postcode only has 8 characters by inserting spaces between if there's less than 8 char and trimming if there's more than 8 char
So from the above postcodes the desired results would be:
EH21 6PQ - 1 Space (8 Char) - This would be correct
EH12 9HG - 3 Spaces (10 Char) - Trim off 2 spaces from the middle
E1 8DF - 3 Spaces (8 Char) - This would be correct
LL5 1GH - 2 Spaces (8 Char) - This would be correct
L5 1FG - 1 Space (6 Char) - Insert 2 spaces in the middle

If i lookup a value in the range A1:A12, say Sep-12, i need to get the cell address instead of the value of the row. but i know how to get cell address using CELL function. but i need to get cell address when i lookup the value.because lookup value will be dynamic.
i have an address that is all in one cell displayed like
101 hampton Court, Hampton heath, Hampton Town, Hamptonshire, HA01 1AS
but i need to have it split in to individual cells so
Cell A1 would be 101 hampton court
B2 Hampton Heath
C2 Hampton Town
D3 Hamptonshire
E5 HA01 1AS
each part of the address is split by a comma, so i have tried to use that as a identifier as to where that part of the address is, but failed on that, i can separate out the first part and the post code with a find and replace but not the middle.
also i need it to work backwards ie
it finds the post code first,
then the county
then the town
as those 3 are always the last 3 parts, but the address could only have 1 line of addres beofre the town or 3, and it would get messed up as all the post codes, county ans town needs to be in their respective columns
I have got stuck on one piece of my code and having trouble fixing... Overall I am trying to find variable station name in cell L2 of Sheet 2 in Sheet 1 and then select and copy the data from the data in "cell L2 of Sheet 2" to the last entry of that row. I have attached an example test spreadsheet of the data and a macro is within Sheet 1 called test1. Please note that cell L2 in Sheet 2 will always be different station name and the station list in Sheet 1 will change with differing station name.
The code I am using is:
[Code] .....
The code that is not working and bringing up an error is:
[Code] .....

I'm trying to think of a way to do this. I need a unique ID number per company, so I would want it to look something like this:
0001: Apple
0001: Apple
0002: Google
0003: Sony
0003: Sony
0003: Sony
0003: Sony
0004: Ford
0004: Ford
0004: Ford
.....and on and on for about 400+ rows. I think I know how to state the condition. IF B15 =/= B14 then....assign unique ID, else A15 = A14....or something to that effect.
i try to paste in active cell copied range.
I mean that i do follow:
- i select range of cell - mostly range of column f.e. A2:A500
- i click/select on any free cell (f.e. B1)
- then i run macro
i expected it paste unique values (text or number)
this dont work
i dont know how defined the range
