View 1 RepliesImported contacts to appear in Autocomplete?
View 1 RepliesI have a workbook with a list of new contacts in one sheet, and a list of old contacts on another sheet.
I want to run a duplicate check throughout the workbook to highlight and delete any contacts on my new list, that have already been contacted on my old list.
Also, I need the the duplicate checker to check for non specific names, regardless of punctuation, upper/lower case, etc.
I need to to highlight all of the following variations as possible duplicates which i can then review & delete manually;
Apple Corp,
Apple Ltd
APPLE LTD
Apple.com
etc...
What I can use to do this?
I am trying to merge my boss's contacts. He has one enormous set of contacts in GMail (5000+) and one enormous set of contacts in Excel (5000+) I've exported both sets into excel but how to I merge them?
The headers for each set are in a slightly different order (Home Address, Office Address, Email ...vs.....Office Address, Home Address, Email) Do I need to make sure the order of the headers match in both the GMail Sheet and the Outlook Sheet and is there a faster way to do that than just rearranging them manually?
My second question is how do I merge them? There are a lot of over-laps of people but some info might be different in Outlook than in GMail. For example I might have John Smith as a contact in both Gmail and Outlook but two different email addresses for him under the header "Email 1" how do I make sure one email doesn't eliminate the other? I just want to merge both sets of contact info for each person into one super contact.
I would like to ask about How to Tranpose mulltiple contacts from one row.
Example:
Company1Firstname Lastname1 Firstname Lastname2 Firstname Lastname3Title1 Title2 Title3Company2Firstname Lastname1 Firstname Lastname2 Firstname Lastname3Title1 Title2 Title3
result need to be.
Company1Firstname1Lastname1Title1Company1Firstname2Lastname2Title2Company1Firstname3Lastname3Title3Company2Firstname1Lastname1Title1Company2Firstname2Lastname2Title2Company2Firstname3Lastname3Title3
Client Id Contact No. Unique Contacts 111123 12 3 111123 12 3 221123 2 2 111123 34 3 111123 5 3 221123 1 2 821123 4 1 221123 2 2
I am trying to calculate the number of unique contacts that each client has made. So in the example above Client No. 111123 has made 3 unique contacts - numbers 12,34 and 5.
However I'm not having any luck - as I suspect it will be a fiendish array formulae. Alternatively I'd settle for some VBA.
I have been trying to use VB to send contacts from contacts.xls to outlook. I have some code from MSDN that shows me how to put in ONE contact (which is already declared in the code). Well I was thinking of writing something to take a worksheet that has x number of contacts and automating x number of contacts. The problem is, I am familiar with using SQL to pull records, but I was thinking there was something easier like importing the excel namespace. So I decided to try it out this way and found this little tidbit of code which is:
Dim xlApp As New Excel.Application
Dim xlBook As Excel.Workbook
Dim xlSheet As Excel.Worksheet
xlApp = New Excel.Application
xlApp.Visible = False
xlBook = xlApp.Workbooks.Open("contacts.xls")
xlSheet = xlBook.Worksheets(1)
'READ FILE HERE
Dim pXLRange As Object
pXLRange = xlSheet.UsedRange
Dim i = 0
Dim j = 0
For i = 1 To UBound(pXLRange, 1)
For j = 1 To UBound(pXLRange, 2)
Debug.Print(pXLRange(i, j))
Next
Next
It gives me this error for the FOR i=1 to UBound line:
Unable to cast COM object of type 'System.__ComObject' to class type 'System. Array'. Instances of types that represent COM components cannot be cast to types that do not represent COM components; however they can be cast to interfaces as long as the underlying COM component supports QueryInterface calls for the IID of the interface.
here's the namespaces i have imported:
Imports Outlook = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook
Imports System.Reflection
Imports System.Data.OleDb
Imports Excel = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel
i have a excel sheet which i use to estimate of course i have many contractors i use
my question is, is it possible to create a drop down menu with the contractors name and autofill the cells below with the address
Cell_B5 Company (Dropdown)
Cell_B6 111 Street Rd
Cell_B7 TownCity State 11111
or is it without a dropdown possible by just typing the first few letters and then autofill and how to do this
Wanted to know can I transfer excel sheet to outlook pst?? If yes then how can I do so??? As I have lots of contacts list in Excel sheet but now I wanted to import those contacts to Outlook.

View 2 Replies View RelatedWork on a spreadsheet with multiple sheets , that will then be emailed once a month, with different sheets going to different contacts because of our timezone difference.
If a sheet could be used to maintain a list of contacts and which sheet to email out Also in which format PDF, Excel (locked down) or both would be useful.
A button maybe on the contact sheet to start the process / but also with an option to set-up to email on a certain day per month would be good.
the number of contacts at the moment varies between 1 and 4 for each sheet - perhaps , we could set-up to email up to 10 contacts per sheet
The email client is Outlook
Each contact should only receive their sheet and not see any of the other sheets , also the contacts should not be able to alter the spreadsheet at all. hence the possibility of using PDF , but most still would like to see the report in excel format.
there would be about 20 sheets , to go to between 1 and 10 contacts for each sheet
I have attached a dummy workbook , which has 4 example worksheets in
In the real workbook, the worksheet names , also will have spaces in them.
I could setup a Start Sheet and a finish sheet - so that the macro - can go through each worksheet in between , if that offers a solution also a maintenance sheet which has the sheet name , email contacts email address and PDF, Excel or both format.
I have outlook on my PC , so i can play - BUT its not connected via exchange server, if that makes any difference.

Book 1 has a column for "phone number" and another for "street"
Book 2 has a column for "phone number" and another for "house number"
I would like to merge these books together so that all the information I have about these contacts is in the same book. Column A will be the phone numbers, column B will be the street name, and column C will be the house number. As you can see by looking at book 2, I only have house numbers for some of the phone numbers in book 1. My goal here is to have book 2 "look at" book 1, and add any information book 1 does not have (such as house number) to the relevant row (the row where the phone numbers match). This new book will by my book 3. I've attached a jpg. with how book 1 looks, book 2 looks, and how I want book 3 to look.
I'd like autocomplete to work in sheet 1 (Cell B4, if it matters) checking from data in sheet 3.
It's for addresses. I want to be able to access them quickly from the first few letters then use VLOOKUP to fill in the rest (the VLOOKUP formula is done and working).
I have an excel file with a large amount of data. It is used to keep track of our firms past and current projects (on each row). The columns include data such as the name of the client and the city in which the project is located.
The excel sheet is set up with filters, so that it is easy to check which jobs we've done for client 'X', for instance, or the jobs initiated since a certain date.
In order for the filters to work properly, we need to make sure that, as an example, teh client name has to always be inputed in the same manner. Using excel's autocomplete option works well for this.
New projects are added to the top of the list. So, a new row has to be added each time a new project is inputted.
In order to automate things, I've made a userform with text/comboboxes in which the data for the new project is inputted and then placed onto the sheet once the userform is closed.
Is there a way to have the text/comboboxes on the userform use the autocomplete feature? As an example, if I'm entering the client name for a new project, is there a way to have the textbox autocomplete the client name by checking in the client column on the sheet? And, if there is more than one client starting with the same letter, is it possible to make a listbox appear showing all the clients beginning with that letter so the correct one can be picked?
Since the list of clients will always be changing, I don't want to code a certain set list, or have to continually update a list. (besides, the amount of coding would be huge considering the number of clients I would have to give it's own .AddItem)

I have a long list of clientele in one column, I use a combo box to see all of these. I want to be able to type 'S' and have the drop down list automatically move me to the clients starting with "S". I know I cannot do this with data validation, so I'm pretty sure a combo box is my only choice.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have come up the code below. It imports contact information from Outlook contacts in a contact folder called Private Contacts. The below code has been copied and modified from this forum.
As it stands the macro creates a new workbook and places the data on that. What I need it to do is create a new worksheet with the name of private compare on the active workbook and then place the data on that worksheet.

when I fill the information into column B on pages 1-31 I would like it to refer to the location names from the loc-mileage sheet and fill in the suggested name as i'm typing.
I thought about doing a drop down but the list is too long and I dont want it to be set to only use the list names, only suggest names from the list.
I need to perform autocomplete on a cell as I type but I want it to activate only after I'm done typing in numbers.
For instance, the data I need to type in is an address, say '60 Yonge Street'. So, after I type in '60' I would like the autocomplete to be performed on the Street Names. Also, in column A in another sheet I have a list of all the street names.
I've used ComboBox, Data Validation and OnKey to do this before on Street Names only, but now I need to do it after I type the Street Number in.
What I want to do is click a vendor from a drop down list. When the vendor is selected, I would like the following to auto complete in their appropriate blank cells: street address, city/state/zip, phone and fax.
I have set up my page to the look I want as sheet 1. Sheet 2 is the list of vendors being column A is the names that are indicated in my drop-down list.
Column D is the street address, Column H is the city/state/zip, column M is the phone and Column Q is the fax.
I been trying to teach him but its hard work as he is old and it just doesnt sink in..and he wishes to stay in control of the work he is done.. so out goes out vba...
i trying to help input on the sheet with data validation and trying to get it working with the autocomplete work around. i took this from a page of this site...
List is Dynamic and/or Resides on Another Worksheet. Lets say your list is on Sheet2 and you wish to use the Validation List with AutoComplete on Sheet1. On Sheet1 A1 Enter =Sheet2!A1 and copy down including as many spare rows as needed (say 300 rows total). Hide these rows and use this formula in the Refers to: for a dynamic named range called MyList: =OFFSET(Sheet1!$A$1,0,0,MATCH("*",Sheet1!$A$1:$A$300,-1),1)...............
I have this long list of data (company name, company ID and OIC) on sheet 1.
Then on sheet 2, user will key in the company name manually then the company ID and OIC name will auto-populate (i did the match index already on this one) before filling in the other cells.
How do I make the cell to auto-complete the company name by using the list of data in the other sheet? Do I use the combo box? If I use the combo box, will it affect the match index formula i created for company ID and OIC?
I am using Excel 2007 and I was finally able to create a combobox for a dropdown list.
My problem is that I canīt figure out how to set the autocomplete in the properties of the box ... I simply donīt see the fmMatchEntryComplete? I am not using Data Validation which I know how to use.
I even looked at this post and that didnīt help me

Is it possible to "Autocomplete" a Vendors name in an excel cell from an Access Database of vendors and then perform a vlookup from the database for contact name, address, phone, email, etc.... in adjacent cells?
For example if I begin typing "Acc" then I automatically get a list of vendors from my vendor database in Access beginning with Acc to choose from, such as Accent Cabinet, Access Grage Doors, etc...
Hello, I'm using VBA to produce a combo box for any cell using data validation list.
This way the cell auto completes as well as displays as many fields as desired...I now have it functioning so that when you click on any cell that contains data validation list assigned to it, it will create the combo box in the cell for you...It functions great most of the time, however the sheet is used all day long and on a average 10 hour day it causes Excel to crash about 3-5 times. ....
I have seen this problem mentioned on other threads, but, didn't see the resolution. I got the below code from contextures.com's sample spreadsheet DataValComboBoxSheet.xls. When I press the tab or enter key, Excel crashes. This macro does exactly what I need which is to allow the user to autocomplete from a long list of validation values that come from another spreadsheet. The code causing the crash is the Select Case KeyCode statement when the keycode is 9 or 13. I am running Excel 2002.
Option Explicit
Private Sub TempCombo_KeyDown(ByVal _
KeyCode As MSForms.ReturnInteger, _
ByVal Shift As Integer)
'Hide combo box and move to next cell on Enter and Tab
Select Case KeyCode
Case 9
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Activate
Case 13
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Activate
Case Else
'do nothing
End Select ....................................
how to disable autocomplete for a specific cell. There is only one cell (A11) that I don't want to use auto complete but I want every other cell to be able to still autocomplete. I think it may have something to do with matchentry being set to 2, but I'm not sure how to do this.
I don't know what sintax I need to use. I've tried this line of code but it doesn't work
A11.MatchEntry = fmMatchEntryNone
I have cells containing large drop down lists (offering many possible entries). Is it possible to get excel to "jump" in the list or complete the entry automatically? If i start typing "aut", it should the drop down entry "automation". For your information, I just use Define Name and Data Validation to create the drop down list. Is it must be using VBA code or I just can use Define Name and Data Validation which has been I created?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI currently have showing 800 suppliers in a List Box... sadly when having to search for a sepcific supplier this seems to be very fustrating and time comsuming for people in the Company.
I have tried the method of copying all of the Supplier above the list, so it can do an AutoComplete filter, but the data needs to be exact.
What i would really like is if i was to type the letter "V" in the cell, it would be able to provide me with a list of the "V" suppliers in a list.
I'm using a script that when you double click on a cell containing Data Validation > List it changes to a combo box that has an autocomplete/increased columns view...It's working great, however there are two small modifications I would love to do and am not having much success with. Currently, you double click the cell w/the Data Validation > List in it, it then changes to a combo box and you can auto complete using the keyboard or select the dropdown and choose from an increased list. However, I would like to be able to simply single click on the cell, have it change to the combo box and auto expand the list if possible.
