I have a worksheet that you can enter in
Forename, Surname, Area, D.O.B
This has a macro assigned that copies the data and pastes it into another worksheet at the next available row.
Now this works fine, but I want to be able to identify if the data already exists in the other worksheet then prevent it from being pasted and give an error message that the person already exists in the database.
Is this possible?
I have to enter patient's SSN's into my database. The fastest and most error free way to do this is simply copy the SSN from the electronic chart and paste into the appropriate cell in the database. I don't want duplicates. So, I need the database to alert me when I paste in a duplicate SSN. I know you can set data validation to do prohibit duplicates by using a formula. In the attached spreadsheet the SSN is in column B, so:

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am working pivot tables off of one large excel spreadsheet for my data. I have multiple pivot tables on each of 5 worksheets. The problem is this. Every other week I am sent an updated spreadsheet with the same column names each week which I then copy and paste it into the spreadsheet of the last one. When I refresh the pivot tables, I end up with duplicate field sets. For example, on column in the original data sheet is gender. On the first sheet I went through and renamed the "M"'s and "F"s to be "Male" and "Female" so that it is better looking when printed. Now when i get the new information and copy and paste it to rplace the old, and refresh the pivot tables, I end up with "Male" "Female" AND "M" "F". Now the "Male" and "Female" fields are empty and the "M" and "F" fields have the information. Is this a result of me renaming the fields?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have created a userform with 3 text boxes. It also has three buttons - clear, Cancel and Generate record button.
User form takes entries in the three text boxes and on clicking the Generate Record button, the values of the three Text Boxes are inserted in Column A, B and C of sheet1. The columns keep on populating with new data on each submit in the row below the last record.
Now it is required to enter data only if the value entered in TextBox1 is new and has not been entered previously in column A. If textbox entry is already aviailable in column A, a message box of 'Record available' shoud be prompted and the text entry must not be allowed until the data entered in TextBox1 is not unique.
I have a userform with several textboxes and 2 comboboxes. The data that I need protected from duplication is based in the comboboxes. If I ignore the other fields and presume the following it may be easier to understand:
The comboboxes are populated by the data stored in sheet1 and when the userform is complete, the OK button populates all the data into sheet2
Combobox1 contains names eg, John, Julie, Bob etc
Combobox2 contains colours eg, Red, Blue, Green etc
I want the userform to allow the data to be entered into sheet2 only if it is not an exact duplicate of the choices in BOTH of the comboboxes
For Example
John Red
Julie Red
Bob Blue
John Blue
These are all ok, however, to try and enter John Red again would bring up a message box indicating a duplicate entry and prevent the data from being entered.
New here, I wanna do a "Prevent Duplicate Entries" into my column i try the following: http://www.mrexcel.com/articles/prev...duplicates.php

Second issue will be i'm wanna do prevent duplication for the whole column not just one cell.

How prevent duplicate when entry from list?

I have one main tab which I pull data from other various tabs. To match data the data, I create a "common unique ID", in other words I create a column on each tab and connect various cells with the ampersand.
So in each of the various tabs (and the main tab), I'll have a column with something like =A2&B2&C3
If the "unique ID" matches between the tabs it will pull back the desired phrase, or it will be left blank. (Just using an =IF(ISNA) formula)
If you have followed so far, on my main tab, I have a column for each of the various tabs. The information I am trying to match could be on any of the tabs, so I need a column using an =IF(ISNA) formula to attempt to match each tab. So, on the main tab, there are several columns which might have the phrase I am looking for. I use another ampersand function to add those columns. My problem is that occaisionally, what I am looking for is on multiple tabs. So, if I am normally pulling the phrase "Pending Loans Report" when a match is made, if it is on two tabs, the cell will add it twice "Pending Loans ReportPending Loans Report"
I realize this is confusing, so I attached a spreadsheet. The "main" tab I was referring to is sheet1. I really simplified it down to post here, but I think the main idea of my problem is still evident. The problem is line 15. Note how column M has "Pending Loans ReportPending Loans Report" - I'd like it to only say this phrase once. The macro pastes special values at the end, but I've highlighted some cells in red which show the formulas I used for that column. Columns N, O, P, Q, etc. all have virtually the same formula.
I've got this code for prevent duplicate entries, But I wondering if it's possible to add a copy rows to it? For Example
Columns C
ItemID ItemName
11 QWE
22 ASD
33 ZXC
So now I enter 22 in ItemID for this working code it will pop up a MsgBox saying Aready exist, Is it possible to add a code so that it will copy the existing copy and paste into the active row?

If Intersect(Target, Columns(myCol)) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub

I have a huge worksheet with 26 columns and 1200 rows. This worksheet is updated by 4 people everyday. Column C, H, N & R are updated daily by these 4 people so these are dynamic columns so to speak. I would like to have a VBA that informs that particular individual when he enters a duplicate data, maybe a popup saying duplicate entry.

The above code pops up the message box when a second entry is made within the specified range, but OK button does not function, contents are not cleared, and Excel locks up.
I tried to solve above problem using Data Validation formula. Data validation does not work if somebody copy paste the duplicate values,it works when somebody types duplicate values in next column. So if I want to enter lot of urls to a column then it is completely impossible to type so must have to copy paste from the browser. I have attached a sample sheet, howl to solve this problem either using formula or using Data validation in sample 1 and sample 2 respectively.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a entry form in which i want to register customers. the first field is the customer number (which is unique(created by me) for every customer). This is TextBox 1 in the document. I would like to search for duplicates in worksheet 2, collumn A, when pressing "enter" to move from TextBox 1 to TextBox 2. A search for duplicates should start and a message should appear " duplicate found" if found, otherwise continue to TextBox 2 for further entry of information.
Please see my attached document for clarification.
Is there a way i could put a validation on a text box that doesn't allow the user to enter a value that already exists in a given range. The object being to avoid duplicate entries.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a created recording sheet (attached) for the purpose of recording moths. I send this sheet out to those recorders who live in my county and at the end of the year they send the filled in sheet back to me. Over time I have put safeguards onto the sheet to ensure that I get the cleanest data returned to me. However, there is still one area which is giving me problems - users entering duplicate records.
Some formula which will stop recorders from entering those duplicate records. There are many columns on the sheet which recorders have to fill in with information, but as far as the duplicate records are concerned it is where the same information is entered into columns C, F and J that I'm having a problem with. It would be great if, when the same information was entered in these columns that the affected cells were highlighted in some way and if an error message appeared saying 'Duplicate record, either delete or alter grid reference'

macro that will parse data that has been pasted in to Excel from a text document. Once the macro is executed the pasted data will be sent to a separate spreadsheet and parsed horizontally with the data residing in is respective cell.
Here is an example of my data from text:
FIRST: Frank
MIDDLE: N.
LAST: Stien
ADDRESS: APT14
STREET: Halloween
ZIP CODE: 123456
CITY: Scaryville
STATE: Scary Ya
COUNTRY: Transilvania
COMMENT: N/A
Here is an example of my desired results:
A2:Frank, B2:N, C2:Stien, D2:APT14, E2:Halloween, F2:123456, G2:Scaryville, H2:ScaryYa, I2: Transilvania, J2:N/A

How I can sort all the data based upon the "Date"? The date data is not recognized when I copy/paste.
I am starting a data sheet that I will be pasting from the internet into my data sheet daily, the problem I have is that the content data is pasting with blank rows between data and also there is one piece of data that is situated on the row below which i need moving to the end of the main data row, the idea is to have single data rows with no blank rows.
I have attached an example sheet showing the layout it repeats with only the amount of data that changes.
I have colored the data as follows:
Grey= Blank Rows
Yellow= Data Move to end of main row
Green= Unwanted Data
how to sort data pasted from word into specific columns e.g.
I paste: 1,2,3,4,8 into the ref row, and it poulates as such, leaving out the columns for which there is no corresponding value:
Competency: 1------2--------3-------4------5------6------7------8
Ref: -------WR1----WR1----WR1-----------WR5------------------WR1

phone number calling | date called | time called | number called | duration in minutes | cost of call. If you're out there I'd be more than happy to hear from you. the cells to cut the data into will be formatted to take the data in the correct form. 02392950067 19/12/2008 14:33:35 02392950053 Portsmouth 1.9 £0.03
phone number calling | date called | time called | number called | duration in minutes | cost of call.
Whenever I copy and paste dates from the internet I can't get Excel to recognize the info as dates, thus making it impossible to sort by date. It doesn't matter which site I use, I have the problem with all of them.

I have a thoroughly outdated system to keep a log of call centre stats. In order to facilitate a marginally easier workflow, I have rearranged a few things so that a user simply has to copy and paste data from reports into the worksheet.
The worksheet is set up with all the number formats like time and percentage which are extremely important in totaling and averaging hours and availabilities, however the pasted data doesn't match the destination format and it therefore affects the total.
I have tried many different special pasting options to no avail.
The only way i seem to be able to do it is to go into each line and retype my percentages (as 100 becomes 10000% ) and click the tick next to the formula bar so 00:00:16 is calculated as a quantity of time instead of text. With 30 people and 15 stats each day that exercise becomes a little bit tedious and counterproductive.

The blank rows need to remain uniform. When I need to paste in August's data the blank rows in the raw data extract are aligned differently and it's a laborious job deleting and inserting cells to get them to align (the sheet has hundreds of rows).
I'm capable enough of recording a macro to replicate the delting/inserting of cells BUT of the 50 or so sheets I need to update there's no uniformity of where the blank rows occur. To further exacerbate, there's no uniformity over where the blank rows occur in the data that needs to be pasted in, either. The blank rows already in the worksheets HAVE to remain and can't be deleted or altered.
