Len() Comparing First 3 Characters In Row
Nov 8, 2009
coming up with right code.
I have a row of variable length.
The rows contain text (no more than 4 charatcers in length) which may or may not be duplicate.
I do not want any rows deleted during the process.
I need a counter that will tell me the number of unique rows of characters. In other words, there may be 500 rows, but lets say there are 200 that are actually duplicate charcaters, which means my unique row count is 300.
I know i probably need to sort the data first....thats no problem
I know I need to use LEN()....I'm just not quite sure how to put it together.

Is there an Excel formula to remove the spacebar + characters in red, as shown below? I need to be left with only the last name, first name and the semicolon.

I'm trying to use conditional formatting to highlight cells in a column that have less than 8 characters.
I know the LAN function, but I don't know how to make it work for the conditional formatting.

So we have people's names in a table. First name in one column and last name in another column. We have a 3rd column where we can use 8 characters to do a combination of First 5 of Last Name + first 3 of first name. However, if someone's last name is only 3 or 4 characters, we'd then want to take more from the first name to fill out the 8 characters.
So:
Charles Johnson -> Johnscha
John Smith -> Smithjoh
Willian Wu -> Wuwillia
What's the best way to do that without creating some crazy formula with tons of if/thens?

Attached is an example.
I get data pulls of logged in time, and shift start times.
Example in column C the person's actual login time is there, and column D has their start time. If there's a variance of 'x' how could I have column E display the variance? In this example 15 minutes?
Basically, if there's a difference between the 2, I need a formula that tells me what difference is.

I have one .xls file that contains an inventory list of all the products that I want.
Unfortunately this .xls file does not contain the prices for these items. I have another .xls file that contains SKU numbers and the prices related to those SKU numbers.
Is there a way to run every single SKU in the first file against the second file and, when a match is found, take the entry in the price column of the second file and place it in the first file so that my first .xls file contains all my products with prices?
I included sample data.

Comparing 2 values.
I need to compare the value's on 2 cells. I have a sheet setup for my sales I would like to compare each day of the week. So in other words I would like to compare this Monday with last Monday and know what the percentage of my sales ether up or down is.
Example:
Last Monday = sales $100.00
This Monday = Sales $200.00
100%
So If sales are up I would like the percentage amount font to be in green. But if sales are down I would like the percentage amount to be in red.

Is there a way to compare two cells and return true if they are the same, false if different? There is text and numerical data. As a side note, can anybody recommend a lightweight reference so I can sit for an evening or two and at least get an idea of what excel can do?

I have two Excel lists. One master list (list A) contains all our email addresses from our customers. The other list (list B) contains a list of people who do NOT want to recieve emails. How do I take the emails from list B (there are 1,200 of them) and compare them automatically to list A? Basically if any email address from list B appears in list A, I want it to delete in list A.

say i have 4 columns of 5 values each consisting of 0's and 1's.
...a b c d
v 0 1 1 1
w 1 0 0 1
x 1 1 1 1
y 0 0 1 0
z 1 1 0 0
how would i write a function that would compare each value under column 'a' to each value under column 'b' and then return a value of 1 if they are equal, and return a value of 0 if they are not equal, then add up the return values.
(comparing column 'a' with 'b' you would get a result of 3.) then have the function continue on to compare column 'a' with column 'c'..'d; comparing column 'b'..'d', etc
so in long form: IF(av=bv,1,0) = 0
IF(aw=bw,1,0) = 0
IF(ax=bx,1,0) = 1
IF(ay=by,1,0) = 1
IF(az=bz,1,0) = 1
SUM(IFs) = 3

I have two lists of data and am trying to write a formula that will return a "1" if the second list firstly contains one or more entries that are not in the first list and secondly the fourth cell on the same row of one or more of the entries not in the first list contains an "F".
The first list is in a sheet called "Select" cells J2:J7 and the second list is in a sheet called "Model" cells A2:A50. The second list will occasionally contain blank cells.
I have tried to use a combination of COUNTIF and VLOOKUP but am struggling to make any progress.

1) if Column M has the value "School" then corresponding value in column N should have oly "Bus","Subject","Teacher". if values in Column B other than "Bus","Subject","Teacher" then the cell should populate RED Color.
2) if Column M has the value "College" then corresponding value in column N should have oly "Box","Madam","World". if values in Column B other than "Box","Madam","World" then the cell should populate RED Color.

Here's one:
Column C (starting at C6) contains the team number. I want column B to find out if the team number is an AM, Mid or PM team.
I have listed the AM teams at J1:U1, the Mid teams at J2:K2 and the PM teams at J3:V3.
How can the formula in column B search those ranges and determine if the team in column C is AM, Mid or PM?

Using VBA, I would like to compare the date found in Cell(datRow, colIndex) of the Recap workBOOK to the date found in Cell(varRow, 3) of the Deduction workBOOK.
I loop through several Recap workbooks, one for each month. The problem I am encountering is this: If the date(s) found in the Recap workbook are before the date(one date) found in the Deduction workbook, the procedure will add the value of data below it to a running variable total.
However, what I am Needing, is for the value only to be added to the total IF the DAY of the date found in the Recap workbook (not the entire date) falls before the DAY of the date found in the Deduction workbook.
I know this is lengthy, but I have researched this for hours and am finding little to help me. Is there a function used in VBA to compare only the day of a date? And can I use a conditional IF statement such that execution happens when Cells(varRow, 3).Value > Cells(datRow, colIndex).Value even though the cells reside in different workbooks (both are open during processing)?

have been trying to write a VB macro to compare two spreadsheets. Here is what I need help achieving....
Compare Sheet1 and Sheet2. Data exists in rows that have a unique identifier in one column.
If unique ID (with row of data) exists in Sheet1 and NOT Sheet2, add row from Sheet1 to Sheet3 and mark "REMOVE" in new column next to row.
If unique ID (with row of data) exists in Sheet2 and NOT in Sheet1, add row from Sheet2 to Sheet 3 and mark "ADD" in new column next to row.
If unique ID (with row of data) exists in both Sheet1 and Sheet2, take row from Sheet2 and place in Sheet3 and mark "UPDATE" in new column next to row.

I have two lists in the same sheet. List one spread over 3 columns contains all the possible postcodes available to my job, the second list once again over 3 columns contains all the postcodes my job is currently using.
How can I find out the Postcodes that I am not currently using from the available list. I am sure it is a simple Lookup command, but cant for the life of me figure it out.

I have a worksheet that contains six columns (A-F). I am trying to compare the values found in column F (~50 values) with the values found in column E (~1500 values). Both columns contain unique values. The majority of values in Column F are contained within Column E. The goal is to run a function that returns all rows in column E that contain a value found in Column F. I've been trying VLookups and what not, but my overall goal is to match up all values found in Column F with the appropriate row that contains the same value in Column E.

I have 3 sheets. Sheets 1 & 2 contain lists of data occupying columns A to M. Although the data on these sheets generally will be different, there are occasions where sheet 2 may contain identical rows to sheet 1.
What I want to do is two separate things -
copy the duplicated rows to sheet 3, and then in columns N & O indicate the row numbers from sheets 1 & 2 where the duplicates can be found (this only where the entire row matches)
do the same as above, but only where the contents of columns I & J match (rather than the entire row).

I just can't get this to work. I am sure it will be easy for you all...
Here is the scenario...
Column A : has usernames of people that have paid.
Column B : has ALL usernames of people.
How can I find the usernames that have not paid? Is there a formula that can do this? Somehow compare the two columns to weed out the usernames of the people that have not paid.

i am having with an excel formula.
I have a column of letters a,b,c going down in one column (A1:A30)
In B1:30,C1:C30,D1:D30 etc (up to AZ1:AZ30) I have a random selection of a,b,c's
I need to compare all other columns against column A, and have excel tell me when any one of the columns does not match EXACTLY the order of the a,b,c's in column 1. So for instance cell AC:1 does not match cell A:1, AC:2 doesnt match A:2 etc all the way to AC:30. In other words, all the cells contain a,b,c's but in a different order to A1 and thats when I want excel to flag that coloumn up in the 31st cell in the corresponding column. I hope that makes sense. I have been looking for days and now my brain is fried.

I have a list of names, some of which occur several times, with values attributed to the names in the adjacent column. I want a list in which the names occur once and the all the values belonging to the name appear in the row the name is in. I have code which almost does it, but not quite.
My data looks like this example:
fred 10
dave 1
jill 4
fred 11
marc 74
I want:
dave 1,
fred 10,11
jill 4,
marc 74,
so I start with a list
dave
fred
jill
marc
and then run my code.
My code is:
Option Explicit
Sub Compare()
Dim ws1 As Worksheet, ws2 As Worksheet
Dim i As Long, j As Long, LR As Long
Set ws1 = Sheets("Deutsch")
Set ws2 = Sheets("Deutsch2")
It works fine for a while, then gives me an 'error 1004 object or application error' at always the same point, when it gets to row 144 in the destination list.
The editor tells me I should debug the line 'If ws1.Cells(i, 5) = ws2.Cells(j, 5)' in the second 'Do'-block in the code.

I’m trying to figure out how to compare two different versions of a sheet with each other and to identify which lines has changed. Here is a simplified example:
>Microsoft Excel - post data.xls___Running: xl2002 XP : OS = Windows XP (F)ile (E)dit (V)iew (I)nsert (O)ptions (T)ools (D)ata (W)indow (H)elp (A)boutE4J4E5J5E6J6E7J7=BCDEFGHIJ3V1CONCATENATE V2Change check4123123 1012 No Change5456456 465Changed6789789 8 9Changed710 121012 123No ChangeSheet1 [HtmlMaker 2.42] To see the formula in the cells just click on the cells hyperlink or click the Name boxPLEASE DO NOT QUOTE THIS TABLE IMAGE ON SAME PAGE! OTHEWISE, ERROR OF JavaScript OCCUR.
When using this formula I get an error in cell J12 that reports a no change even though the values has changed. The error occurs due to the blank cell found in cell C7 but I can’t seem to find a way around the problem? (except for adding an if(cell=””;0;cell) before every cell which isn’t really practical in my actual data)
Furthermore my actual data has more the 10.000 lines and +30 columns so if the formula I use for change tracking can be done easier in any other way I would be happy to get some help? Maybe I should even consider a macro?
