Identifying Matching Rows Between 2 Separate Spreadsheets
Aug 11, 2006
I have 2 separate spreadsheets. Spreadsheet #2 is a full list of items. The item names are in Column A. In Column B is an associated primary number. In Column C is an associated secondary number. Spreadsheet #1 is a partial list of items. The item names are in Column A. The primary number is in Column B. There is no secondary number given in Spreadsheet #1.
My objective is to find out what items in Spreadsheet #1 have a secondary number in Spreadsheet #2, and to group them all together so they can be easily identified. I am attaching a couple of example spreadsheets to give an idea of what I'm working with. The example's are small so it would be easy to just eyeball them and see what ones match up however the real spreadsheets I am working from are thousands of lines long so obviously eyeballing them is not the ideal way of doing it. Is there a formula I can use to reach my objective?

I have a giant data sheet. I have to cherry pick certain data out of the list and send it to certain associates, in a new spreadsheet.
I want to do this automatically.
I can create the macro to select the data I want, and copy it over (values only), but I cannot find out how to do it in a new sheet with a new name that automatically gets generated with a unique filename (probably using the date).
Essentially, I want to copy my data spreadsheet (post-filter) into a new spreadsheet titled X mm-dd (where X is whatever I pick). I then want to delete several rows from it.
Ideally, the macro would do this (I will put a * next to things I can handle the code for, to save work):Filter Data *
Copy Data *
Create a New Spreadsheet named (Person's Name) mm-dd.xls
Paste Data (values, formats, column widths) to the new spreadsheet *
Delete Several Columns from the new spreadsheet *
Rename the sheet it's been pasted to
Re-filter data (new filter) *
Copy Data *
Paste Data (values, formats, column widths) to the same spreadsheet, only Sheet 2 *
Set the header of the spreadsheet with (Person's Name) and the date
Save the new spreadsheet
There will be as few as 1 sheet (in which case I would only want one worksheet in the new excel file), or as many as 4 sheets. I don't need a fancy way to do this, as it will only be done once a week, and I can just make the various cases required to do it even if it isn't pretty, but I can't figure out how to manipulate other files that haven't been created yet...

every month I import (from SAP) Local Authority staffing data for 200 schools into an Excel template. After a bit of tweaking I end up with a single spreadsheet showing formatted and adjusted data for all schools, with relevant headings separated by page breaks.
This is fine if for distributing a hard copy to schools, but I want to email it. I've seen macros that would allow data to be split onto separate tabs, but is there a way to break it down into 200 separate spreadsheets? I confess to not knowing any VBA, so be gentle with me

I have spreadsheet A (below) which has various fields including a row headed: Postcode. Then I have spreadsheet B which has columns Name (A1), Postcode(B1), Practice Code(C1), Telephone (D1). (I can't figure out how to move on to another line here, for some reason the enter key does not work, might be a browser issue.) I have more postcodes on spreadsheet B than on spreadsheet A.
I want to compare the spreadsheets and where there is a matching postcode, insert the Practice code(s) from spreadsheet B (column C) into spreadsheet A (column A). At the moment the Practice Code column in spreadsheet A is empty.
Practice Code (A1)
Name(B1)
Name2(C1)
Street(D1)
Locality(E1)
Town(F1)
County (G1)
Country (H1)
Numbers (I1)
Postcode (J1)

I have two spreadsheets, spreadsheet A and B. In each spreadsheet there is a column labeled 'event' and a number in that column. I need to match the event number in spreadsheet A with the same number in spreadsheet B. In spreadsheet B in the same row as the event number is another value that I need copied back to spreadsheet A.
Manually I would have to copy the event number from spreadsheet A and use 'find' in spreadsheet B. Then check in the same row as the event number in spreadsheet B for a specific number, copy that, head back to spreadsheet A and paste it next to the event number.
I've tried to create a macro to do this but when using 'find' to match the event number in spreadsheet B it keeps on using the first event number I used instead of moving down a row onto the next number. I can upload the spreadsheet if needed.

I have a large excel spreadsheet with alpha-numeric data. I want to be able to compare two cells in different row side by side and return the difference in another cell.
e.g. I have in cell B2, "tom, rick, mike, I" and in cell C2, "mike, rick". I need to compare the cell C2 to cell B2 and return the difference in cell D2 which in this case would be the characters " tom, I". They are separated with "," and they can be in different order as you can see in the example.

I have two worksheets with one row of 'accounting' type numbers in A1:A100 (it can be shorter or longer) on both sheets. I need to run a search on worksheet one to see which of them exactly match any on the second worksheet and then highlight them.
It can be a macro or it can highlight each entry a different color. Something so that I can determine which two numbers go together and I can run the thing only once.
There most likely will not be multiples on the same worksheet but if there are it will be few. If multiples happen it is ok it just needs to be matched to the second worksheet in a different color than the other similar numbers.
Another thing is if there is no match in either worksheet that is ok it can just skip to the next number in the list and check that one. There does not need to be a match.

My task is to combine two large databases into one spreadsheet by extending the number of columns. The data from each database is 90% matching based on an identification number, however occasionally there are additional rows or unmatched identification numbers that need to be kept for analysis.
When this happens, there needs to be a blank row inserted to represent the missing data in the rest of the corresponding row.
I am having trouble finding a quick way to do this because I have approximately 12,000 rows (and columns up to DV when combined).
for example:
p1
data
data
data
data
p2
data
data
data
data
[Code] .....
needs to become:
p1
data
data
data
data
[Code] .....
I am guessing I will need a macro of sorts, So far I have made one column that tell me if the ID's are matching or not (1 or 0) and if they are not matching (0) I manually insert the rest of the row that is missing or make space for the duplicate data (which needs to remain).

I have workbooks based on the date. Here is an example "Daily Numbers Report - Summary_2014_02-18-06-02-30"
All of the files are formatted this way. Then, in a master file I have dates going horizontally for the entire year in the following format Tue Jan 15, etc. How could I do a lookup that would grab from all of the open files and match the date BUT subtract 1 day from that date for all the lookups, so Feb 18 would look at 2-17?

If the name in Column F of "Sheet1" is found in "DataPEs" in Column B, then copy the block of 6 cells of data below it in column Q to column D of "Sheet1" in their relative rows. Additionally, if column Q has data then copy it, if not then copy the data only in column M. Finally, the number of matching names will vary in Sheet1 but will stay mostly the same in the DataPEs sheet. I've highlighted one block of data in green as an example.

Currently I have two tabs one with six columns of data. On a separate tab I have a matrix of two of the criteria. I would like to map the company data to the matrix, but recognizing the primary representative has more than one company he/she manages. Hence I don't just need the first entry, but all of his/hers maps to the size columns.

I currently have a database that is similar to the example I've pasted below:
TypeDateTimeA10/01/200910:00B10/01/200910:00C10/01/200910:00D10/01/200912:00E10/01/200912:00
As you can see the Date and Time are repeated for several rows. This is how the data I receive comes through as A,B and C refer to a single transaction and D & E refer to another transaction.
Ideally what I would like to acheive is:
TypeDateTimeTransactionA10/01/200910:001B10/01/200910:00C10/01/200910:00D10/01/200912:002E10/01/200912:00
Where Excel can compare the date and times of each row and look for matching rows above and below it and then fill in a column next to it indicating that x number of rows are linked to a single transaction - preferably labelling them in some order to I can tell how many transactions there are.

I have a large sheet of data I'm trying to sort through. Each row of data has a column that contains a long string description. Each of these strings contains a three letter codes in all caps that I want to be able to pull out. I have a seperate sheet that has all of the possible three letter codes in one column. Is there a formula that can compare each string of text to this list of three letter codes and if it find a match put that code in a column on the original sheet?
Doc Number
String

33333
This is an example string of text. An example three letter code would be HCB. The location of the code within the string varies.

Maybe this has been taken care of in another thread, but still:
ROW ID NUM OCC K OCC I
1 222222 0 0
2 222222 0 0
3
4 333333 0 0
5 333333 0 0
6 333333 0 0
7
8 444455 1 1
9 444455 1 1
I have a situation like above, but what I want to do is:
=FOR(ROW1:ROW9, IF COUNT ROWS(ID_NUM)>= 2,
(create name for set?)
AND
IF OCC_K AND OR OCC_I VALUES >= 0,
THEN DELETE ROWS(within set) >=2
Or more simply:
If there are rows with multiple Accident ID numbers, name that set,
and if OCC_K and/or OCC_K values are BOTH >= 0,
then delete all duplicate rows?
Yes I figure there needs to be some way to distinguish Row 1 from Row 2, (flagging one of the two?) so that ROW 2 can be identified, and similarly with Row 4 from Row 5 from Row 6, but the general flow of commands is what I'm trying to get at.
Is it also possible to use AND and OR in the same line? Or BOTH?
(I have other variations on this that I also like to ask about, such as multiple rows within a set that meet certain conditions that are identified in a different field, but for now this is a simpler version.)
I would like to think I'm not going to need a macro, and that I can do this in a Formula.

I am attempting to place a formula in cell b3 in the attached spreadsheet on the "sheet to pull data into" tab 1 (cell is highlighted yellow) to retrieve value in the yellow highlighted cell in the "Sheet that contains data" which is on a seperate worksheet within the same workbook.
The cells highlighted red in the "sheet to pull into" tab (cells: a1, a3, b1, and b3) are the criteria that needs to be matched to those cells on "sheet that contains data" tab in order to ensure the value returned is correct.Sample of problem.xlsx <----see the attached sample spreadsheet.

We run reports from active directory to see user accounts that have not been logged into the network between 30 and 90 days. We have a few spreadsheets within a workbook (Investigate, Disable, Delete, No Action). All user accounts are imported into the investigate spreadsheet. What we would like to do is automatically take predecided accounts (service accounts that we do not log on to the network - only meant for services, etc) and move them from the investigate spreadsheet into the No Action spreadsheet. These accounts all start with svc. Generic accounts start with GEN and so on....

I have a spreadsheet with only 80 rows in it and I need data from another spreadsheet with over 200 rows. One of these rows in each spreadsheet contains a matching field (Job #). I only want the 80 matching rows data from the over 200 row sheet.
Is there an easy way to combine these two. Even adding the 80 to the 200+ will be fine as I can just remove the blanks. I can't figure out a way to combine them and match them up.

I am working with an excel spreadsheet. There is a column for "name", and then the next column is for medical condition.
If the same patient has multiple (say, 4) conditions, the rows for "name" are combined into a single cell(let's say, a cell going from row 2 to row 5, witha a single name in the combined cell) , with the next column having four different cells adjacent to the single cell (cell 2 has "bleeding", cell 3 has "fever", cell 4 has "diarrhea", and cell 5 has "rash"). Some patients have only single conditions, single cells.
Will this mess up COUNTS and COUNTIF?
Is there a way to split the combined cell2-5 for ''name" into four cells all containing the same name?

I have been using this macro to separate lots of rows with a certain amount of blank rows.
Example:
Code:
Sub test()
Dim j As Long, r As Range
j = InputBox("type the number of rows to be insered")
Set r = Range("A2")
[Code] .......
I trying to change it so that, instead of inserting how ever many blank rows, it just copys the row above.
Example (Row A to C)
I have been messing around with macro recorder and i could select each row and paste it into the blank rows, but from researching on the internet selecting and pasting data seems to be a waste of resources (ram?) and i will be running this on a couple hundred rows (lots of data). Also, i would like to keep the functionality so that i can still choose how many times it copys/inserts each individual row from a input box.
I eventually want the data to end up like it is shown in the table but i am takin it one step at time because i want to understand what the code is doing.

I cannot get various formulas (Countif, Match, Frequency, Etc) to work properly.
I am trying to arrive at a total number of matches of numbers in cell range B1:G1 with any numbers entered into the cell range of K1:P11 and have the total of matches display in cell H1.
However I do not want to count duplicate numbers from the K1:P11 cells. (if the number 5 in posted in K1:P11 multiple times I only need it reported once in H1)
B1:G1 is the constant and the numbers will not change - K1:P11 cells will be populated by adding numbers until the all the numbers in B1:G1 is completed and match.
Range
B1 C1 D1 E1 F1 G1
2 7 19 45 22 13
H1 Total of matching numbers in cell range K1:P11

Is it possible to have a formula where it will retrieve a specific value on one sheet based on matching values? Unfortunately, hlookup wont work as there are several values in the table where the 'lookup_value' is the same.
Example:
On sheet 1 (titled BSRC), I have a table which has a list of values in column 1. On column two I have the 'lookup value' which needs to be matched and all values underneath it to be retrieved from sheet 2 (titled CSRD). The 'lookup_value' range is on row 9 of sheet 2.
I have attached a sample spreadsheet for clarification.

I am working with timesheet data (name, project code, task code, date, hours etc...) in one spreadsheet and rate card data (name, role, day rate etc...) in another.
My task is to pull together some of the information in each of these two source spreadsheets and compile a report. This I have done no problem. However, where a person works on a particular project and task on the same day and records multiple entries (which could be negative) I need to consolidate the hours in all these matching rows and have just one row reflect the total hours worked and delete the other duplicate rows.
So an example would be:
Project | Task | Name | Role | Date | Hours
123456 | 1.001 | Paul Jones | Project Manager | 20/02/2008 | 2.5
123456 | 1.001 | Paul Jones | Project Manager | 20/02/2008 | -2.5
123456 | 1.001 | Paul Jones | Project Manager | 20/02/2008 | 3.5
[Code]....
My problem is I don't think I have approached this the right way but am unsure of where to go with it. The code as is does sort of work but I still get some duplicate and zero lines in my results.

I have 2 workbooks.
The first one (Top Ten Auto Generator.xls) ( Sheet is Summary) has 1 row (13) with 4 cells that have data. A13 with date (today formula), B13, D13, and E13 are numbers. The cell range will be the same each time the data is copied (the workbook has a marco to generate the numbers each day already).
The date doesn't need to be copied, just the other 3 cells data (in the same order) using paste special.
The workbook that needs the cell data is a report ( Dashboard.xls) that has lots of different departments each using 3 columns for their specific data. The left most column A is the date listing to match.
The column Range for my department on that "Raw Data" sheet is "H", "I", & "J" where the "H" would get the data in "B13", "I" would get "D13", "J" would get "E13" for the date that matches the other workbook.
So the way it would work, is that once the vba is run the 3 cells from the auto generator are copied, then the vba opens the dashboard.xls and looks for the date in column A which matches the other workbooks A13 date value, and then the cells are pasted into that row, but in column H, I, & J.
Here's sort of some code that I put together to see if that would be easier to understand. I'm new at doing the vba so I don't have better code.
Private Sub CommandButtonpaste2dash_Click()
'get our data from generator
Windows("Top Ten Auto Generator.xls").Activate
Sheets("Summary").Select
Range("B13,D13,E13").Select
Range("E13").Activate
Selection.Copy
Workbooks.Open "Dashboard.xls"
Sheets("Raw Data").Activate
'look for the date in column A which matches A13 in the Auto generator
Some Code For finding the right date
'once found, paste special to the same row, but in column H (the 3 cells should paste together ok)
some code For pasting into H In the same row As the found date
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValuesAndNumberFormats
ActiveWorkbook.Save
MsgBox "Done!!!"
End Sub

1- all rows with the value "TOM" in column C will have to be deleted.
2- all rows with a value of 601 or 602 in column E, will have to be moved to the bottom of the sheet after the last row with data. The rows that have been moved will have to be sorted based in date (column I) and numbering (column E).
