Incrementing Pairs Of Data?
Oct 4, 2013
I need to complete what would seem a fairly simple incrementing task but I'm not getting the results that I'm looking for. I don't know much about macros so would prefer not having to use one but I'm willing to try if it's not too complicated.
I'm using Excel 2010 on a PC. For several projects, I need to increment cells that contain text and numbers. The column contains data in a cell (A1), followed by a blank cell (A2), then cell A3 contains new data followed by a blank in A4, etc. What I need to do is 1) copy the exact data in A1 to A2 and then 2) increment the number used in A1/A2 by 1 in A3, copy that into A4, and the pattern repeats down the column.
Here is an example of what I have in column A:
Test_01
[blank cell]
Test_02
[blank cell]
Test_03
[blank cell]
etc.
This is what I want as a result.
Test_01
Test_01
Test_02
Test_02
Test_03
Test_03
etc.
Do I need to save the data in the column as text, general, or numbers? Is there some function that would make incrementing the data possible as I've outlined above?

I'm not sure if it's possible to do this, but I have three lists of data. One is a complete list (for example, the numbers 1-25).
The next list is a subset of the complete list (e.g., 1,3,5,7,9). Attached to these (the subset list) is another list (let's say letters, so A goes with 1, B goes with 3, etc). I want to physically move the paired entries from Lists 2 & 3 so that List 2 matches up with List
1. Let's see if I can represent this visually:
I have:
1|1|A
2|3|B
3|5|C
4|7|D
5|9|E
6|
7|
8|
...
25|
I want:
1|1|A
2|
3|3|B
4|
5|5|C
6|
7|7|D
8|
...
25|

I want to store a list of strings in an array with their position so that I can sort them alphabetically and then be able to put them back in their original order again e.g.
John 1
Charlie 2
Paul 3
Andy 4
etc,
So when they are alphabetized (is that a word?) they become
Andy 4
Charlie 2
John 1
Paul 3
My plan was to store them in an array, but I can't think how to do it. In python, I would just make a list of tuples, what is the best way to do this in VBA?

I've got 3 pairs of columns and I need to sort through them and align the cells in columns E&F with those in A&B and C&D. The cells I need to match up are the times (columns A, C and E)
Example - convert this:
A...............................B..........C...............................D.........E...............................F......
BID TIME.....................BID.......ASK TIME....................ASK......TRADE TIME................TRADE
30/07/2014 14:21:04.....6.10.....30/07/2014 14:22:37.....6.13.....30/07/2014 14:21:04.....6.13

Very simply put, let's say there are examples numbers 1,2,3,4 put in cells A1 to A4 (vertical) and more example numbers 50,60,70,80 are put in cells A6 to D6 (horizontal)
What one formula can be written in B1 that I can copy down to B4 that will make B1=A1+A6, and B2=A2+B6, and B3=A3+C6, and B4=A4+D6

I want to show which rows of data have been changed by incrementing a revision attribute. For example, if a user changes the contents of a cell anywhere between rows 2 and 13 and col 1 and 9 then the revision attribute in col 10 would increment from 1 to 2 (for the affected row). If another change affects the same row then the rev attribute would increment to 3, and so forth. I don't care which cell was changed only that something on that row was touched.
I thought the CHANGE event was a dead ringer for triggering some VBA code to control this but, since part of the change event code writes the revision value, this triggers another CHANGE event causing an endless loop until something (??) kicks in and stops it after 220 iterations. Is there a way to inhibit the change event just prior to updating the cell containing the version attribute?
Rather than post the code here I have submitted the workbook that includes the whole setup and code. I should also mention I looked at all the other worksheet events and I do not see any "triggers" that would fire each time a cell content is changed. As a side note, is there a way to step into the code of a change event? F8 does nothing.

I'm looking for an easy way to fill-in 1600 cells, in Col. "A", with pairs of sequential numbers [from 1 to 800] - for example:
1
1
2
2
3
3
4
4
5
5
6
6
I managed to achieve something close with: =INT(ROW()/2.05)+1 but this is not accurate enough.

I would like to know if its possible to extract just the even/odd pairs from a number.
Exp. I have the number 123 in cell A1, and would like to extract the even/odd pair, which in this case would be 13, the cell A2. I would like to be able to do this without the use of "Isodd" or "iseven" functions.

I am looking for a code which will check and display the Maximum Occurrences of pairs of 2 Characters.
In the attached file I tried to write some code but it seems to be wrong.
For your convinience, I entered the reuslts in a table (hopefully not mistaken).
The code should display a MsgBox saying that "The pair 'ab' was found 6 times in A1.
The string, in A1, can be any string in any length.

I am trying to analyse a set of variables in my dataset.
The variables I have are numbers which are organised into a single column.
I want to count the number of times different variable pairings occur within my data.
An example dataset of mine is: 1,2,4,2,1,3,5,3,2,1
As the dataset contains 5 variables (1,2,3,4,5) the potential combinations are: 1,1; 1,2; 1,3; 2,1; etc.. with 25 in total.
I want Excel to move through this column starting with the first two cells and step down 1 cell each time and then tell me the number of times each of the combination occurs.

I have a long master list of registered members, column C has last name, column D has join date.
Now I have a short list of last names with join dates.
I want to compare the short list with the master list to find names that are already there, by comparing the last name and join date.

I have a database with 6 columns in play (there are actually other columns but they are not relevant). I'll call the columns A through F. I would like to be able to match certain counterpart rows together, do a sort placing the counterpart rows adjacent to one another, and then count how many pairs I have. (Some rows will have no counterparts.)
Here is a micro-illustration of the database:
______A______B______C______D________E_____F
R1___01-03___54____959____nsneakr___24____yes
R2___01-04___67____454____adidaht____53____yes
R3___01-10___42____344____calb3wd___11____no
R4___01-19___67____454____adidaht____53____no
R5___01-25___54____959____nsneakr___24____yes
R6___02-02___54____959____nsneakr___24____no
R7___02-14___54____959____nsneakr___24____no
I basically need to devise a formula or script that pairs together two rows that fit the following criteria:
1) The rows are identical in Columns B, C, D, and E.
2) The rows are not identical in Column F (i.e., one half of the pair should have "yes" and the other half should have "no")
3) The rows are as close together as possible according to the date sequence in Column A. For example, Row 1 should pair with Row 6, and Row 5 should pair with Row 7. Row 1 should not pair with Row 7, and Row 5 should not pair with Row 6. **This criterion seems tricky because R5 and R6 would technically fit the requirement for pairing, were it not for the fact that R1 comes earlier in the sequence.**

I have a map with several waypoints and would like to find the distance between any of these two waypoints. Sounds simple, but I have having an issue with the later parts of the excel file. Let me explain further.
There are over 100 waypoints on this map we have. Each waypoint has an, seemingly arbitrary, X-coordinate and Y-Coordinate. However, if you divide the coordinates by [X], they turn into miles. It should go without saying that finding the distance between two waypoints is rather simple mathematically, but I having an issue figuring out how to pull two random waypoints and having the distance automatically calculated.
So far, I just have column A with the waypoint name and with column B and C having the X and Y coordinates respectively. Is there anyway I can create some sort of call function that when two waypoint values are entered it would automatically calculate the distances?

How do I express the following as a formula for range f2:h2:
case 1
if any number is equal to 0 or 5, then 1
if any number is equal to 1 or 6, then 2
if any number is equal to 2 or 7, then 3
if any number is equal to 3 or 8, then 4
if any number is equal to 4 or 9, then 5
example:
f2:h2=3,5,9
result
415
f2:h2=0,2,7
result

I need to pair up 20 people in sequence for a workshop, so I number the people and can rotate people numbered 1-10 with 11-20 easy enough, but when it gets to pairing 1-10 together in pairs and 11-20 in pairs.
Is there a formula I could use in Excel to work out the easiest pairing for me?

I have a string of n pairs and want to check various combination of that string.
Example: Pairs 58 78 15
Since I know I have 3 pairs (but it can be 2 or 4), I know the number of combination I want to test, ie 2 power 3 = 8 combinations. How can I program a code creating the various strings, ie 587815, 587851, 588715, 588751, 857815, 857851, 858715, 858751 ?
This is what I have so far (not much):
Public unique_pair 'number of pairs provided by another macro
Public mystring 'provided by another macro
Sub make_guess()
Dim number_of_combination, i
number_of_combination = 0
number_of_combination = 2 ^ unique_pair
For k = 1 To number_of_combination
'how to generate the various string ????
Next k
End Sub

Im trying to create a catalogue for our complaints that come in each day at work. Ive created a basic layout I like, it uses 3 cells for a week day and 1 cell for a weekend day. The date is listed on the side of each day. I would now like to be able to quickly use this format for the rest of the month/year but need a way to do this easily as I cant do each day separately in the future. Ive tried selecting cells and then dragging down but all it does is repeat the previous 7 days and the same dates instead of incrementing the date.

If I'm in a worksheet and I spot a row I'd like to copy into my second worksheet, how do I arrange to have it increment the rows?
EX: searching through a worksheet, I see a suspicious entry. I want to copy it into another worksheet. I use the macro. I go back to the original worksheet and see another suspicious entry that I'd like to copy. I'd need a macro that would copy the active row from sheet one, and increment the rows on sheet two before pasting.

I create inventory cards and each needs a unique 4 character sequence number. Currently I have it set up with 4 cards per sheet. If I need to print more than 4 cards, the worksheet will print one sheet of 4, reset itself and increment the sequence number by 4 and continue this cycle until I've printed the number I need.
Currently I have it only using numbers. I start at 1000 and it increments, by 4, up to 9995. Once it reaches 9995 or higher, the increment resets to 1000 and starts over. The problem I am facing is I am now starting to get several cards that have the same "unique" sequence number. What I would like to do is change it from numerical sequencing to alphanumeric sequencing.
This is the code I currently use for the incrementing....

I've got above basic VBA knowledge and learning very quickly (largely due to great forums like this) I'm now creating a userform for the first time. I'm trying to create a New Supplier form and one of the fields is going to be for Supplier ID where it takes the first 6 letters of the Supplier name (entered by the user) & tags on '001' at the end. I've managed to do this but I would like some code to search existing supplier ID's ( Column A on separate sheet) and check whether the ID created already exists and if it does add on '002' instead of '001'.
SO for example..
If user creates a supplier called Microsoft the supplier ID will be Micros001 - this I can do, but if Micros001 already exists then it will generate an ID
Micros002, Micros003 and so on...

I have a spreadsheet with 14, or maybe 16, or maybe 40 names in column B.
A1 = 1 B1 = JOE CITIZEN
A2 = 2 B2 = JANE PERSON
...
A17 = 3 B17 = JACK DOE
and so on...
I want to randomly assign these names to pairs using a macro button, and basing it on the number of players (C1)
So if C1 is 12, I'd like the function behind the macro button to come up with 6 * 2 numbers (2 and 11, or 4 and 7,
all completely random, but within the 12 specified in C1) and write these random values in Range D1:E6
(if C1 is 18, then the range to write in would expand to D1:E9).
I don't know enough about writing code to be able to pull this off .

I have created a table that has working hours of staff members over many weeks. Week number as column headings (1 to 52) and staff name as Row headings. E.g a row may be
John Smith, 37, 37, 37, 37, 64 (commas to show seperate cells)
How would I go about using conditional formatting so that the formatting changes according to the sum of the values in each pair of cells?
I need to add the total hours of every two weeks for some staff and change the fill colour of both cells accordingly to highlight which weeks staff have worked too many/few hours.
So (B1+C1) would be a pair, the total would decide which fill colour is used on both B1 and C1, and then (D1+E1) would be the next pair and so on.
I have tried using 'a formula to determine which cells to format' and placing =(B1 + C1) = 74 and making it fill the cells green but this appears to be doing (B1+C1) as the first pair and then (C1+D1) as the second and changing the format for the first cell only.

I've managed to get my macro to work ok - but what I want to do now is to get it to loop through more columns. Currently it looks for email addresses in column AH (which will always be the same) then it looks for a "yes" in columnAB and if there is no "SENT" in column T then it sends an email,after which it adds the word "SENT" to column T. What I want t do is for the macro to then run on columns AC+U, AD+V, AE+W and AF+X. So basically it will loop through one column to the right each time for a total of 5 pairs of columns
