Function To Return Common Words To 2 Cells

Dec 29, 2008

I'm trying to write UDF which getting RegEx pattern and a certain cell as arguments and returns only matching string. For examples for string "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog", and RegEx pattern "w{4}" the function will return two words "OVER" and "LAZY". What should I change in my code?

Function GetPattern(myPattern As String, myString As String)
Dim regEx As RegExp
Dim Matches As Object
Set regEx = CreateObject("VBScript.RegExp")

With regEx
.Pattern = myPattern
.IgnoreCase = True
End With
GetPattern = regEx.Replace(myString, "$1")
End Function

Find Common Words In Cells And Create New List

May 29, 2005

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.

Macro To Create New Column From Common Words

Jun 4, 2013

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] .....

Find Top 10 Most Common Words In Column Of Text Strings?

Apr 1, 2014

I've been racking my brains trying to find a way of doing this. I have a list (column A in Excel) of over 50,000 organisations and I'd like to know what the most common words used in the names are. Ideally it would great if I could produce a top 10 list of the most common words at the top e.g. Ltd, School or Church with a count in the next column of how times that word it appears

Find/Count Most Common Words & Phrases In List

Jun 25, 2008

I am attempting to take a very large list of keywords, and find the most common words and phrases within them. For example, if I had a list that said:

excel formulas
excel spreadsheet formulas
excel help
excel formulas help form
formulas for excel

I would like to come away knowing that "excel" and "formulas" are common words within the list.

Currently, I believe this can be accomplished by doing the following:

1. Break down each line into all of its possible combinations.This would mean that the line with "excel spreadsheet formulas" would return:

excel spreadsheet formulas
excel spreadsheet
spreadsheet formulas
excel
spreadsheet
formulas

2. Once the entire list is broken down into its many parts, use the pivot table feature of excel to determine how common each of the parts is within the entire data set.

So, my questions are these:

1. Do you believe this is the best way to solve my problem? If not, what would be the preferred method?
2. If this is the best method, what function or script would I use to accomplish the first step of breaking down the lines into their individual parts?

Concatenating Cells Based On Common Value In Next Column?

Apr 23, 2013

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.

IF Function (few Words Shown Based On Figures In Specific Cells)

May 17, 2009

I want to have a few words shown based on figures in specific cells. I not quite sure how to explain, but i will try my best:

A1 = 5
A2 = 0
A3 = 7

The function i am using looks something like this:-

=IF(A1<6,"Do I Have Sickness Self Cert?","Do I Have Doctor's Paper?")

However, by using this function, if the cell is empty it still shows the first wording when i need it to show lets say between 1 & 6 shows the first wording and more than 6 shows the second wording! If you know what i mean... I know what i want to do but cant really explain it very well.

Maybe it should look something like this but it does not work the way i am doing it.

=IF(E156>1<6,"Do I Have Sickness Self Cert?","Do I Have Doctor's Paper?")

Sort By No Of Words Macro

Jun 3, 2007

I am look for a macro that can look through a range of cells within a sheet and sorts that range of cells by word count.

I have 1 macro that is excellent which sorts by character count.

If possible, if this macro can be duplicated exactly the same, but to sort by Word count and not character count.

As a note the range of cells are always in a sheet labelled " AllKWs"
Always start from Cell A3 running down.
And the phrases could be anything like "car to rent in london"

As to the macro I have already for character count, it is this kindly written by VOGII

Sub NoOfCharacters()
Dim lastrow As Long, TotP, TotC, AvC
lastrow = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
If lastrow < 4 Then
MsgBox "Nothing to sort!"
Exit Sub
End If

Sort Words Within Cell

Aug 2, 2008

I have a file with 12,000 user records (one user per row). Within each row there is a cell that contains all of the product that each user sells. The product within each cell is listed between commas.

I need to Alphabetically sort the product names within each cell and have the data remain in that particular cell.

So as an example, in cell A12, I have something that looks like this:

Apples, Zucchini, Pumpkins, Beans, Squash, Corn

Sort Based On Two Independent Cells

May 22, 2007

In the attached spread sheet, i have two set of data, for two different months.Columns A to D have the value for the first month and columns F to I have the values for the second month. In the first set of Values i have the dollar value in the column "D" and in the second set of values i have the dollar value in column "F".

I want a macro, to compare these two cells and arrange the data accordingly. If both the values are the same, then both the lines corresponding to the values can remain in the same row. If one value is greater that other, then the set of values which have the lower dollar value should come to the next row. I have attachec the sample data. The lines highlighted in green is the raw data and the one in yellow is the finished data.

Sort Capitalized Words Ahead Of Lower Case

Oct 11, 2012

I've got a 96000 line spreadsheet with individual words or abbreviations in each cell of the first column. I need to sort it with numbers first, then Capitalized words, then lowercase words. The numbers aren't an issue but sorting the Caps first then lower case without getting words that have a cap in the middle is frying my tiny brain. Originally I dug around here and found a search for caps that returned a True/False then sorted the columns on the result. =MIN(--EXACT(Dict3,LOWER(Dict3)))=0 Then I found that I had abbreviations in the list like cGy and eV or cGMB that incorrectly showed up as true but weren't. Now I need a modification or a better answer. I tried a fw dozen things but obviously I'm barking up the wrong functions.

Sort Cells Based On Text Length

Dec 13, 2007

I need to write a Excel VBA (2003) code that can arrange the cells of one column based on the character length. An example is this:

Column Data before Running VBA

(Column A)
cat
oranges
apple

Column Data after Running VBA

(Column A)
cat
apple
oranges

I been doing this manually by using the LEN() command in an adjacent column (Column B) and sorting Column A. based on Column B. However, I wish to do this all in a VBA code that does not rely on how many rows are in Column A. I have dozens of excel sheets with various number of rows for Column A. Therefore, the VBA code has to also figure out when the last non-empty row is in Column A. Can anyone offer their suggestions to my problem?

One Spreadsheet Two Tables - Sync

Sync Data From One Spreadsheet To Another

Feb 11, 2010

I created a 10 spreadsheets for 10 companies that include 25 columns of info each and multiple tabs.

I need to create a master spreadsheet, which contains info from all 10 companies but only 10 of the columns are necessary. I want to ensure that if a change is made in the master spreadsheet in one of the columns for company "A", that change is reflected in their personal spreadsheet as well, pretty much syncing info typed in one worksheet to a spot in another.

Is that possible?

Excel Sync To Google Doc

Feb 17, 2014

Any way for an excel spreadsheet to automatically feed into or sync to a Google doc.

Unfortunately I have a dashboard which can only use a Google doc spreadsheet, so uploading the excel spreadsheet into Google drive wouldn't work. Nor vice versa as we have a Cube which feeds into Excel.

So the only way around this is for the excel spreadsheet to sync to a Google doc.

Imported Data Out Of Sync

Nov 7, 2006

I've imported a few thousand lines of data into excel, but some rows have a rogue character or a blank cell in the middle of them taking up a cell and shifting the rest of the row along one cell and putting it out of sync with the columns I want that data in.

Is there a way of remedying this without going through and manually moving a couple of hundred rows along one cell.

I'm not sure I've explained that particularly well, so I'll try and illustrate it with an example.

AAA 1.23 1.23 BBB 1.23 1.23 CCC 1.23 1.23
AAA 1.23 1.23 BBB 1.23 1.23 CCC 1.23 1.23
AAA 1.23 1.23 BBB ------ 1.23 1.23 CCC 1.23 1.23
AAA 1.23 1.23 BBB 1.23 1.23 CCC 1.23 1.23

Ignore the fact that they are all 1.23, I've just used that to make it quicker for me to show. As you can see row 3 has a ------ (representing a rogue character or blank cell) in the 5th column shifting columns 5-9 right one cell.

Now as I said I have a few thousand lines of data like this with maybe 2-3 hundred rows with this problem and I really don't want to manually go through and fix each one.

Is there a tool in excel or a way of using VB to fix this?

Alternatively, is there a way when importing the data to have a number of delimiters rather than the one extra one you can select to remove these on importing?

Maybe it could be fixed by taking any blank cell (or character) and deleting it whilst shifting all cells to the right of it one cell to the left?

Insert Data From Different Worksheet Based On Common Value

May 7, 2013

I have searched and there are some examples that are similar to what I'm looking for but I cannot seem to use those answers to make my problem work. The example from the forums that seems to match my problem the closest is [URL]....

Summary: I have an Excel file called "COST TEMPLATE.XLSX" that has product information (serial number, quantities, pricing), calculations and reports; then on a monthly basis I receive a file (VENDOR_EXPORT.CSV) with updated product quantities to be merged into the cost spreadsheet.

I would like to merge specific data fields from the VENDOR_EXPORT.CSV file into my cost template based on the serial number. I am attaching three dummy files that hopefully describes the issue:

1. COST TEMPLATE.XLSX
2. VENDOR_EXPORT.XLSX - which highlights the cells to be import and to which corresponding column
3. VENDOR_EXPORT.CSV - raw CSV file

My preference is to do this with functions, not macros. How to add the export into the existing workbook as a temporary worksheet, or just pull from the other workbook as CSV file.

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

Sum Cells By Common Date

Feb 19, 2010

I have a spreadsheet that lists two columns - impressions and clicks - by date. Sometimes the same date is listed in multiple rows. What I would like to do is add the columns so that I have a total number of impressions and a total number of clicks by each date.

For example my data could look like:
Date || Impressions || Clicks
01/01/09 || 5 || 6
01/01/09 || 3 || 4
01/01/09 || 4 || 7

and I would like it to look like this:
Date || Impressions || Clicks
01/01/09 || 12 || 17

A shortened spreadsheet is attached. The actual one is for the past year with over 1000 rows, which is why I'm hoping someone can point me in an easy direction to do the summing.

Find Most Common Occurring String Based On Lookup Value?

Dec 4, 2013

Find the most common occurring string in my spreadsheet based on a lookup value. For example, if my table is as follows:

Capture.PNG

- I want to calculate the most common value chosen by user 234 (A in this case), user 524 (B in this case)... and so on.
- I want to calculate the percent of the chosen value. So in the previous point, A was chosen ~67% of the time by user 234... and so on.

I'm not sure which formula to use. I am able to find the most common occurring value in column B using the formula below (which I found here), but how can I do that for a specific value, a user ID in this case?

Grouping Data From Two Tables (different Structure) Based On Common Criteria?

Dec 1, 2013

The attached file shows what I'm trying to do - I'd like to fill in the data in the top left corner table (blue-shaded) with the data combined from the two other tables. Think of the Greek letters as names that are grouped into the groups named {A,B,C,D,E} (the names have no significance, it's just an example).

I was able to do so using an array formula and an extra column (yellow shaded) as you can see in B2 - however, this solution doesn't suite my case because the actual tables will be coming from automated processes and cannot be easily manually altered.

I tried inserting the array formula into the sumproduct formula - see B3 - but for some reason this doesn't behave the same as when the array is outside the formula. I should also mention that I came across a user defined function solution - this too is not so suitable for me right now.

Find Common Values Across Multiple Sheets Based On Unique ID

Oct 24, 2013

The old thread is here: [URL] ....

There are three sheets in the workbook, Project, Tasks and Details and the expected resulting sheets are RESULT, In_Tasks_but_NOT_in_Projects and In_Details_but_NOT_in_Projects .

But now what I am looking for:

1. Copy the Projects data as is in the RESULT sheet.

2. Then in the Tasks sheet, if the ID matches paste the matching rows under the data from Projects (as in the result sheet with Orange colour)

3. If the ID is present in Tasks but NOT in Projects then copy it into the In_Tasks_but_NOT_in_Projects sheet.

4. Then If the ID and the Name in the Details tab matches with the data in the RESULT sheet then paste it under the ID and Name (as in the result sheet with Green colour)

5. If the ID does not match the ID in the results sheet then copy that row into the In_Details_but_NOT_in_Projects sheet.

The result of the current macro that RHCPgergo worked with are in the last sheet.

The formatting and colour of the rows doesn't matter, it is more of nice to have.

Generating A List Of The Five Most Common Responses (Text-Based Mode)

Sep 11, 2009

I would like to generate a dynamic list of the top five most common text responses in a range. For simplicity sake, let's assume that the range spans cells A1 to A20, and the list is generated in cells B1 to B5. So, essentially, I am seeking five separate formulas. One to calculate the most common text element, one to calculate the second most common text element, one to calculate the third most common text element and so forth.

I am currently working with the two formulas below but finding it incredibly difficult to merge them into a working format.

Formula for finding second most common number:
=MODE(IF(IF(A1:A20"",A1:A20)MODE(IF(A1:A20"",A1:A20)
),IF(A1:A20"",A1:A20),""))

Formula for finding most common text element:
=INDEX(A1:A20,MODE(IF(ISTEXT(A1:A20
),MATCH(A1:A20,A1:A20,0))))
