Find And Replace On Some Duplicates In Huge Data File

Mar 6, 2014

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.

Aggregating And Then Eliminating Duplicates From A Database

Feb 3, 2009

I want to do is create a template that can be used for generating an attendance sheet with corresponding statistics on a semester by semester basis.

I've attached the workbook im using. For the purposes of my query only columns B-F are relevant. What i want is a formula that can compile all the names and information in columns b-f on a seperate sheet (sheet1)

I want to make sure that duplicates are eliminated from my final list so that even if a name appears multiple times in the sheets titled sessions 1-5 it only appears once in sheet1.

I want to do this in a formula so that it can be used over and over again. If possible I would also like the formula to exclude blank rows in columns b-f in the final list.

Creating A Yearly Database File Using Information In Daily File

Feb 7, 2008

I would like to automatically update a 'yearly' database file with info from a file that is changed on a daily basis.

The daily file that i use has info like date, truck number, delivery stops, weight.

the database file has the similar headings.

at the end of each day this daily file is saved. I would like to have the info that is entered into the daily file automatically plugged into the yearly database file into the next available group of cells with respect to the salesperson.

This is kind of a generalization but i'm hoping to just get pointed in the right direction. If something like this involves vba then it will be beyond my ability and i'll have to do it manually, which is fine

Database - Tried With All The Products In The Same File

Aug 11, 2009

Basically its a invoicing system. I tried with all the products in the same excel file but then I realized if i update the product list it wont in all excel files for each customer. So i thought one external access database (or excel file) that I could refer to from an excel file.

So what I want to do now is when I want to add a new product to an invoice, I click a button (add) and it opens a small window with the list of products which has been taken from say an access database or excel file. Then I select the product and click insert.

How would I go about doing this? Are there any simple example I could follow?

Jul 10, 2009

I have created a 'price list' database in ACCESS. Then in EXCEL I created a pivot table which retrieves data from one of the database queries (the query was saved as a .dqy file).

I emailed the file containing the pivot table to a colleague who is on the same server. He saved the excel file on he desktop & renamed it. When I update the databse file on a shared public drive on the server, he is able to 'refresh' his desktop file successfully !!

Formula To Pull Information From Database File

Apr 26, 2012

I need building a formula to pull information from a database file. The purpose is to try to interpret the data so that I can analyze a time period along with it's content. I don't know how best to explain it. Basically I have a table and I want it to pull information based on 3 criteria: time, type, and total. I would like for the formula to identify a time frame, then identify a type, and then take the totals and add them together.

Time / Type / Total
11:31 /1 / 4
11:43 / 1 / 6
12:04 / 2 / 1
12:31 / 1 / 3

Time / Type / Total
11:30 - 12:00 / 1 / 10
12:00 - 12:30 / 1 / 3

The top is the database and the bottom is basically what I want to happen on the other table. Pretend the / and dividers for each column.

Updating Access Database With Excel File

Jan 24, 2014

I've been trying to make this work for hours and hours and am finally giving up. Most of this code was found on the internet and I've attempted to make it work for my project but I keep getting errors. I use VBA with Excel quite often but never with Access before. Currently I am getting an "Object doesn't support this property or method" error at rs.Findfirst.

I have an excel worksheet that mimics the access table with five fields, an ID field, lastName, FirstName, DeptID (int), Email. I want to search the Access table for a match on the email field, and if it doesn't find the match, to add a new record using values typed into the excel sheet.

Code:
Sub UpdateDB()
Dim cn As Object
Dim rs As Object

Create New File With Data From Database Through A Template

Sep 12, 2006

I've been looking around to find a solution for my problem and as a last resort I have decided to make a post, and I will get straight to the point. I have 3 xl Files of relevance:

1 - is my "database" which consists of multiple sheets with different information in each. Each sheet is correlated with each other by one common ID. 2 - is my "template" which is 2 sheets, which functions as a report. The template serves as the Report which will be printed. The data from each row from the database can fill the spaces in the template.

3 - "the tool" xl file is where i have my macros and the mapping for the which columns from the database belong to which cells in the template.

Basically what I'm trying to get to work is: User opens Tool clicks "create Reports" and the tool should then open the database, pick the range of rows from the database put the data into the relevant cell in the template save the "template" with the info on it, close it and do it again with each row of data from the database. So if I pick rows 4 to 34 in my tool, it should create 30 xls files from the template and fill in the data from each row into each newly generated "report".

Find Most Recent Files And Update Database

Jun 16, 2008

I have database that needs to be updated automatically. Thus far, I have written a macro that will take out and add all necessary data from a file I open, however I would like to write a macro that will find the most recent files and use them to update the database. I would need the macro to 1) Find the folder name that corresponds to the part number in the database, and open that folder, 2) find the most recent file addition to the folder 3) open that file and run the macro that I've already written.

Excel 2010 :: Macro To Copy 3 Cell Values And Append To Existing Database File

May 14, 2014

I'd like my macro (in an Excel 2010 workbook) to copy values from three worksheet cells and append them to an existing Access or SQL database file -- without having to leave my Excel spreadsheet or open any other programs. The database file simply needs to be appended. Keeping a running list. That file isn't being used for anything else, we can set it up however is necessary to do this.

For example, Excel cells A1, A2, and A3. Representing Job Name, Job Number and Job Total.

how make VBA do this(in SIMPLE terms)? Or give me a link of where to look or what to search for? I understand VBA but not Access or SQL.

Code To Find Duplicates

Mar 26, 2007

I’m looking for a code that finds all duplicate words in column A & B and change the font of the found duplicate word in column B to ColorIndex = 11 and .FontStyle = “Bold”

I need this code to run frequently and possibly we can combine it with http://www.mrexcel.com/board2/viewto...272792#1272792

The wb is a dictionary and as I’m adding new words in new rows the wb needs to update. It is of course mostly important it updates when I open the wb, but it would be interesting if it could update for every new row (word) added as I might not want to close and re-open the wb just for this.

Find The Duplicates Values

Jul 18, 2008

I have a long list of checks and I need to find the duplicates, determine how many dupicates there are for a given check (the criteria is if the ENTIRE ROW is dupicated), and highlight HALF of the duplicated rows.

I am able to sort the table however needed.

Here is the logic I was thinking of following..

If Row is Duplicated
Select Case Boolean
Case True
Count how many are duplicated
If count is even then
NumberToDelete = Count*0.5
For i = 1 to NumberToDelete
Highlight one of the duplicated rows in red background
Next i
Else
Next Record (do not highlight anything)
End If
Case False
'Nothing
End Select
End If

Find Duplicates In One Particular Column

I'm trying to find duplicates in one particular column. I'm using this formula =if(countif($A$1:$A:$300,A1)=1,FALSE,COUNTIF($A1:A1,A1)=1) in the conditioning format tool but here's my problem:

I'm noticing that some of the cell values have spaces after the entries so the formula is not picking it up as a duplicate. Is there a quick way to remove those unwanted spaces after each entry?

Code To Find Duplicates And Concatenate In One Row

Nov 20, 2013

I have a table that looks like this:

ID
HostLocation
NDaysinHost
marina.silva
USA
100

[Code]....

I would like to obtain a table in the following format where I can find

ID HostLocation NDaysinHost
marina.silva USA, Norway, Bolivia, Italy, Ecuador... 100,45,67,8,9...
tatiana.gottig Venezuela, Chile, Peru, Canada 89,54,32,6

Searching in the net I found the following code:

VB:
Sub groupConcat()Dim dc As Object
Dim inputArray As Variant
Dim i As Integer
Set dc = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
inputArray = WorksheetFunction.Transpose(Sheets(1).Range("A2:C9").Value)

[Code]....

However I only obtain the first two columns concatenated. It says that for more columns repeat the loop, however I did and the result was not the expected, it returned me the same two columns again concatenated. How can I arrange this to fit my criteria?

Find And Hide Rows With Duplicates

Aug 28, 2009

I want to search a worksheet for rows that share the same value in two columns (columns C and E). See the attached excel file.

I have highlighted in yellow some rows that have duplicate values in row C and E.
So in this case rows 14 and 19 will be hidden but rows 13 and 17 will still be visible.

Note that this must work properly reguardless of how the data is sorted.

In other words, there can never be more than one row that has the exact same value for both column C and E.
