Identify Items In List Existing In Another

Nov 2, 2006

In an excel file I have 2 lists of files. List #1 has about 6,000 filenames and List #2 is a subset of List #1.

I am looking for a solution which will help me highlight/identify those files which are also in list#2.

Ofcourse one way is to sort both lists and then place them in consecutive columns (say column A and column B) and then in another column (column C) use a IF function to identify if A1=B1 (or A1 <> B1) and then take it from there. However this approach helps a litle becuase there may be a gap in List#2 and thus for a great # of cells in column C i will end up getting false answer. Hope you're following me??

The underlying requirement for this is rather lenghty so I'm skipping those details. However I would like to share that so far and whenever I come across doing this exercise (about 3-4 times a month), I ended up achieving the results but it takes me hours.

How To Generate Dropdown List With Data Which Uses Column To Identify Items

Apr 18, 2014

I have in column A and B. A includes two (or may be more) kind of items, i.e. drink and snack. Column B has for example water next to drink and chips next to snack. The list is huge.

How can I generate a drop down list with data which uses the A column to identify the items which it should include. I want to make two separate drop down lists for drink and snack and each should include only those options which belong to those categories. I.e. drink list should be like water, cola, pepsi, etc. The problem is that the list is huge and it's not possible to sort it. Some kind of if statement structure with named range? The drop down should be dynamic in a sense that if I add line to data, it should be picked to the right drop down menu.

Conditional Formatting IF Function To Identify Past Due Items In Red And Items Completed

Aug 13, 2014

I have a spreadsheet that lists a set of actions and the days they need to be completed.

The due dates are listed in column c and in column h I have a the user choosing "completed" from a drop down data validation.

I have a dashboard on a separate worksheet, showing if the item is complete and the due date.

Ideally I would like to display the dates on the dashboard in red if they are past due, and the box in column h was not marked complete.

I have been going through my books and trying to solve this, but I run into a different issues.

Even if for now If I can get the main worksheet to display the color conditional formatting that would work

VBA To Identify And Delete A Sheet In Existing Workbook

May 30, 2014

I have a VBA script that works great when run each day, as it's intended. But if a user skips a day, we end up with an error when deleting an old worksheet. The old worksheet to be deleted has a date as the sheet name (i.e. "2014-May-23").

We've developed some code to find the most recent FILE if there wasn't one created on the previous business date, but what VBA code can I enter to correctly identify and delete the old, outdated worksheet? My final spreadsheet should contain just two dates worksheets - one each for the past 2 business dates.

Here's a snippet of my current coding:

Code:
Sub Master_3D_Macro()
'
' Master_3D_Macro Macro
'
' Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+j
'
Dim CurrDate As Date
Dim Holidays(1 To 9) As Date

[Code] ..........

Identify Duplicate Lines Items And Generate Report.

Mar 11, 2009

I have a report with ~44,000 line items. From this report, I need assistance generating a report that lists all unique line items. I am having problems trying to identify which line items are duplicates as I need to compare 4 different cells in each line to other lines to determine if it is a duplicate item (compare data from columns A, B, E, F)

For example, raw data may be as follows:
Column A………Column B…….Column E…………….....Column F
10/13/2008…….11111111…….71879W561000……….888.88
10/13/2008…….22222222…….239103302000………..222.22
10/13/2008…….11111111…….71879W561000……….888.88
10/13/2008…….33333333…….353496508000………..333.33
10/13/2008…….44444444…….239103302000………..444.44
10/13/2008…….11111111…….71879W561000……….888.88
10/13/2008 ……11111111…….353496508000………..888.88............................

Note from above, there are two occurrences of a duplicate item. As a result, the output table would only list this item once.

I have attached a sample of the spreadsheet with dummy data on one tab and the desired output on another tab. Note that all the data is broken up into blocks of data that is separated by data that is only in the first column of the row.

Creating A Unique List Of Items In Column A That Have A Corresponding Non-zero Value In Column B, I.e. Excluding All Items Where Sumif ColumnB Would Sum To 0

Jul 17, 2009

I know how to use array formulae to create a unique list, i.e.{=INDEX($G$1:$G$760,SMALL(IF(ROW($G$1:$G$760)=MATCH($G$1:$G$760,$G$1:$G$760,0),ROW($G$1:$G$760)),ROW()))}

however this is giving all the unique items from column G and I only want the unique items that have a non-zero value in column H as well. This would be the sumif of all instances that would have to be zero. I've tried to crack it and I've tried to search for solutions but so far no joy.

Extracting Summary List Of Larger List Showing Only Items That Have Quantities?

Apr 11, 2014

It is a product list of office stationary with codes, descriptions and quantities. Using this spreadsheet we input into the quantity how many we want of the item, all well and simple you could call the list a stationary order form.

What I would like to be able to do with this Giant list is to have a function that would extract items off the list into a cleaner consolidated form. As in, if I wanted to order some of item A, C and F, I would like for the second table to just Show ACF without every letter in between or blank cells.

I know a simple method would be to have an IF formula to return the information to a new sheet that I could simply remove blank cell rows (unordered items) and ready for print each time. But I would love to know if there is a better way this could be achieved.

I have basic/intermediate knowledge of excel and can setup the data if need be in order for the function to work, but I can't seem to find the correct function for this project.

Remove Items From DV List Once Used / Display Elsewhere / Reset List When Filling Across

Sep 13, 2013

It's a quarterly schedule for utility meter readers, divided up into days across the top, and routes/areas down the side.
There's a space with each route for the employee ID to go, depending on who's doing it.

Down the bottom of the sheet, there's a few empty lines for all the available employees who haven't been allocated to a route.

On the second sheet labelled EMP LIST, is all the employee IDs. It's also got the areas they work- it's for something I want to implement later.

I can put all the employees into a single column list, then use basic DV to give a dropdown menu by each route, to assign an employee to it. This is pretty straight forward. I've also been playing with this in combination with a countif, so that employees already assigned do not appear in the list.

This is about as far as I've managed to get with it.

I need to get the employees who aren't assigned to anything to appear in a list below the routes. I'm fairly sure this is just another countif, but I'm not 100% on the exact formulas.

I also need the list in the dropdown menu to reset for each day of the quarter, i.e. if I assign an employee to a route on the 30th day of the quarter, their ID will disappear from the list for any other route for that day, but will still be there for the other days of the quarter.

So far the only way I've managed to do this is by duplicating the employee list for every day of the quarter, which is going to get very cluttered, and also makes staffing changes difficult. I'm hoping there's an easier way to do this using one data set.

I've added an example of the sheet. It's one week and it's only got about 1/3 of the routes we would actually have on any given day.

Identify And Print The Ones On The List

Jul 12, 2008

Have a list of approx. 125 people (for our church's prayer list). What I would like to do is have a formula/macro that will identify and print the ones on the list

-that have been on the list less than 2 months
-identify by printing one "*" by thier name when the 2 months will be up in 2 weeks
-identify by printing two "**" by the name when the person will be removed in one week.

Another way of stating what I am wanting Excel's functions to do is the following:

In one column, I would enter the date a person is added to the list, then I would want the formula/macro to calculate the date the person would be removed from the list. When the list is printed weekly for our bulletin, I would like the program to create the list/print only the persons who have been on the list less than two months. In addition, I would like for the ones that will be removed in 2 weeks to be identified with an asterick when the printing is done. Then 2 astericks when the person would be removed in one week.(This would allert people to update us on the person's condition and continued need for special prayer.)

Of course, I would like this calculation to be done automatically when the data base is opened. OR REQESTED. I'm not sure of my terminology here! I want the calculations to be done without me having to redo the database and formula/macro weekly.
I sure hope this request is clear!

Identify Duplicates In A List

Oct 13, 2006

I need to identify duplicates in a list and have the foilowing formula:

=IF( COUNTIF(range1,A2)>1,"Duplicate","")

This works ok but i have a further condition which i dont know how to factor into the formula. I think i could write some vba to determine the dupes but i was hoping to avoid this as im sure it will take me an hour or so. Duplicates are identified at the moment as being identical numbers in column "amount", i now need to specify duplicates as being identical numbers in this range where there is at least one row with no pay date filled in in col "paydate"

Identify Non-blank Cells In Irregular List

Jun 21, 2007

I regularly import a list of data into Excel containing employee team names, employee names, and (for these purposes, irrelevant) data. The team name is the only data in column I, and therefore I can easily pick this up an summarise it in a lookup. The employee name is always one row above it, and in column D. However, it is not the only data in column D, and each employee's records contain varying numbers of rows. How can I have Excel copy the employee name in to column J, alongside the team name in column I, but ONLY in rows where there is data in column I?

Review List Of Numbers And Identify Duplicates In Order

Feb 24, 2014

- I have a list of 8 digit numbers in Column A sorted small to large
- Some of the 8 digit numbers are duplicated.
- In Column B I would like to have more of a combination of countif and listing the duplicates in order (1 for the first dup in the column, 2 for the 2nd, etc.)

Example of what I'd like to see

Column A Column B
123456781
123456782
132546841
685036541
985413561
985413562
985413563

As you can see if the number in column A is on the list one time column B would show a 1If the number is shown two times (the first time it shows up will show a 1 the second will show a 2) If the number is shown 3 times (the first time it shows up will show a 1 the second will show a 2, the third tiem would show a 3)

Renaming New Worksheets From List In Existing Worksheet

Jan 11, 2013

I'm attempting to add a variable number of worksheets (dependant on the number of entries in an existing list), then rename those sheets to the name of the entries in that list. i.e.

LIST
A
B
C
With the list above, i'd want 3 new sheets added, one named 'A', one named 'B' and one named 'C'.

The trouble i'm having is that because the number of entries/sheets varies, i don't want to refer to 'Sheet1' 'Sheet2' etc. to rename them.

***Additional Info*** the first record in the list is always "W4" on sheet "Data"

Below is where i've got to so far (however, i'm pretty new to this so it's almost certainly not all that efficient!)

Sub setup_1()

Sheets("Data").Select
Range("W4").Select

Find Data Existing In 2 Columns & List Them

Sep 26, 2007

I have two columns of account numbers. Column A would be considered the master list. Column B is data that changes on a monthly basis. What I would like is for a macro to compare column B to Column A and if it finds any account numbers not listed in column A it will insert a row into column A and copy/paste the account number from column B to A. Both rows are sorted assending so if its possilbe I would like the macro to insert the account number where it belongs or maybe just resort column A once it has finished. My knowledge of macros/VBA is very limited at this point

Pivot Table Placed In Existing Sheet Not Showing Full List Of Values

Sep 16, 2013

I'm trying to place a pivot table in an existing sheet in order to have a list of names next to a P&L. I've got several criteria to filter the names, but when I apply the filters to the pivot table, not all the people show up. The weird thing is that the total at the bottom of the pivot table, which is a simple sum of time in a given month per person, calculates the correct number as if all the employees are there.

When I do the same table in a fresh sheet, in the same file, it shows correctly. It's only when I try to put the table in an existing sheet that it abbreviates the list.

Im having difficulties with the syntax for retrieving the data from a seperate worksheet.

I'm trying to accomplish the attached. This is just an example of what I want to do. There are no formulas in this spreadsheet.

Spreadsheet 1: Search by Number

Column A is a list of names

Column B is a list of numbers

Column C is a list of the names that correspond to the number "1" from Column B. Note that there are no blank rows between the names.

Spreadsheet 2: Search by Name

Column A is a list of names

Column B is a list of offices

Column C is a list of the names that correspond to office "Williams" from Column B. Note that there are no blank rows between the names.

I have used the index & match formulas to do this WITH duplicates or blank rows, but I would like to produce this without duplicates. I am willing to get as complicated as need be to make this happen.

I have a list of items in a column. I would like to have a userform pop up with a list box (?) of all the items and I want to be able to select multiple items to perform an action on the row corresponding to the selected item.

I am thinking of other examples I have seen where there are two list boxes (?) and then arrow buttons between them. When you click the arrow the item moves from one list box to the other to see which have been selected.

I have never used list boxes before so if you have a link to some sample code that would be useful.
