Locating Duplicates Within Spreadsheet
Sep 15, 2012
I need a macro that identifies duplicates within a spreadsheet. Unfortunately, the utility provided by Microsoft is not adequate because the text strings that are potential duplicates are nestled inside other text.
Fortunately, however, there is a unique text string that will locate the duplicated data. Below are two examples:
Plus -- Zero Box ==> Zero Box Medium ID=7288 (submittedby Anna Johansson)
Basic -- Zero Box ==> Resolve Medium ID=6397 (submittedby Kazy Suzuki)
The data that needs to be identified as potentially duplicated is the four digit number (i.e. 7288 and 6397). You will notice that they are preceded by “ID=”.
The spreadsheet has over 26,000 rows of data and 1700 plus IDs. The characters ID= proceeds the four digit number in all cases.
I simply need a macro that will provide a list of the four digit numbers that are duplicates. This will allow me to easily locate and manually delete any surrounding, unwanted data from the spreadsheet.
The data that the macro needs to search is contained in and restricted to Column C.

I am having trouble setting up a query for a recordset that will list duplicates for an automated process to clean up. I am using Excel 2010 with Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects Recordset 6.0 Library and Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 6.1 Library as references.
So far, I have chopped the query down to it's most basic elements and reassembled until it broke. Necessary pieces work well, but when I combine them, I get nowhere.
Here is the working simple query to retrieve a single row:
Code:
dupeSQL = "SELECT PSID FROM [Obstructed$] "
Here is the working single query to retrieve a count:
Code:
dupeSQL = "SELECT COUNT(PSID) As '" & "CountPSID" & "' " _
& "FROM [Obstructed$] "
When combined, I cannot figure out why it won't work:
Code:
dupeSQL = "SELECT [PSID], COUNT(PSID) As '" & "CountPSID" & "' " _
& "FROM [Obstructed$] "
Here is what I am trying to get to:
Code:
dupeSQL = "SELECT [PSID], COUNT(PSID) As '" & "CountPSID" & "' " _
& "FROM [Obstructed$] " _
& "WHERE COUNT(PSID) > 1 " _
& "GROUP BY PSID"
I can even work without the GROUP BY. I have also played with the HAVING clause to try and accommodate the [PSID] field, but have gotten nowhere.

I know how to delete duplicates using the function under the data tab, but how can i locate them. For instance, a spreadsheet with a list of PO numbers, how can i do a search to see if it is showing the same PO number multiple times?

I've got a table similar to the below (but with a few more columns & rows). I need 2 look at 2 cells one contains a $value (say $75,000) the other contains a code (say C). I need it to return the correct value - in this example 3.00%.
This is going to be too messy to use a vlookup, I'm sure there is something better. Is this where you use Match or Index ... both of which I don't understand how they work. Or something else ?
ABCD
$ 1 $ 50,000 1.00%1.50%2.00%2.50%
$ 50,001 $ 100,000 2.00%2.50%3.00%3.50%
$ 100,001 $ 250,000 3.00%3.50%4.00%4.50%
A B C D
$1 $50,000 1.00% 1.50% 2.00% 2.50%
$50,001 $100,000 2.00% 2.50% 3.00% 3.50%
$100,001 $250,000 3.00% 3.50% 4.00% 4.50%

How can I locate 1000 or the closest number from column 5, and all the data to the left of it? I have tried all the commands I could find, and nothing has worked for me.
This is the data I want to pull from the table.

I want to assign macros to buttons from VBA. I know that buttons have a TopLeftCell property and I've used this before to point at cells around the button but not the other way round.
What I'm trying to do is have excel assign a macro to a button when the workbook is created (if thats possible - if not then just whenever it's opened the macro can be reassigned).
The recorder gives me the line of code:
Selection.OnAction = "ThisWorkbook.ImportJobsButton"
so I really want to change Selection for something that points at the specific shape. I want to do this with a few shapes.

Take a look at these columns below;
.00 810.00 .00 1,729.00 .00 1,594.00 .00 1,599.00 .00 498.00 498.00 .00 .00 1,852.00 .00 454.00 .00 50.00
I want to find the cell reference number of any value of column A (which is greater than 0) in column B. I could only manage to find values with my formula i.e.
=IF(A1>0,VLOOKUP(A1,$B$1:$B$9,1,0),0)

I have a column full of data like the below with relevant data on the same row.
I wish to locate the cells which have a specific section most importantly without the "cartridge only" so for example with the below
Word Academy (Nintendo DS)
Word Academy (Nintendo DS) (Cartridge Only)
This would show 2 given there are two with the specific text "Word Academy (Nintendo DS)" there will always be a cell without the (Cartridge Only) part so for this the formula =COUNTIF(D:D,"*" & D1 & "*") seems to do the job to simply count the cells with that in however I do not wish to do this.
What I need to do is locate the cells that have this in but match them together in a large sheet so basically I somehow need to be able to locate the two corresponding cells which both have one of the cells values of "Word Academy (Nintendo DS)"
The cells have data in the row which I need to tie together to create a total value.
For example
Title Qty
Word Academy (Nintendo DS) 5
Word Academy (Nintendo DS) (Cartridge Only)6
I need to locate the all the cells with "Word Academy (Nintendo DS)" in which would mean just the two cells "Word Academy (Nintendo DS)" + "Word Academy (Nintendo DS) (Cartridge Only)" in the above instance but I need it to then see the cell which has that in its title and add the quantity of the two together leaving me with the below
Title Qty Actual Qty
Word Academy (Nintendo DS) 5 11
Word Academy (Nintendo DS) (Cartridge Only)6 11
Which is basically just adding together the quantity shown on the spreadsheet in the rows with the containing text "Word Academy (Nintendo DS)" and as "Word Academy (Nintendo DS) (Cartridge Only)"
On the attached spreadsheet Column L is an example of the result I would be desire, I have put a basic =sum formula in to just represent the value it should be showing.

On the computers in my office they have a My Documents folder that is in the directory C:Data. There is also a My Documents folder in the usual windows location C:Documents and Settings etc. Is there a function that will give me the path of the folder that is on the desktop? The macro will be run on computers with the folder in different locations which is why I need to look it up.

Im trying to develop a formula that sequentially numbers in column a depending on if there is a value in column B
We have documents at work that have alot of text with random spacing between that needs a sequential reference number so would like the formula to be able to look at the value in column b and if its not blank add a number . I would like this number to be the previous cell above + 1
the formula ive started looks something like =if(B10""), ???????,""
can not get excel to reference cell the last cell above with data.

I have a single button on a spreadsheet. When clicked, it gives me Error 91: Object Variable or With Block Variable Not Set. This is the button's
Private Sub Analyze_Click()
Dim TextToLocate As String
Dim Searching As String
Dim TechNum As String
TextToLocate = "Mobile Device : "
Fname = Application. GetOpenFilename("@Road Excel Files,*.xls", , "Open @Road Log File")
Workbooks.Open (Fname)
' Error here at cells.find:
Searching = Cells.Find(What:=TextToLocate)
TechNum = Replace(Searching, TextToLocate, "")
TechNum = Left(TechNum, 5)
MsgBox TechNum
End Sub
The purpose of the code is to:Allow the user to open a log fileIn the newly opened log file, find the string "Mobile Device : "Following "Mobile Device : " is a tech number. Strip out "Mobile Device : " and grab the first 5 characters of the tech number.Show me what the tech number is in a message box
If I insert the code into the actual log file (no button and no opening of files), it works fine. I searched this forum and others and used everything I learned to find a solution, but the error remains.

I would like to create a macro which finds data from multiple worksheets and collates them in my Master Worksheet.
I am competent with a lot of functions with Excel, however I have never used Macro's before. I have a little bit of VB knowledge, but only the very basics. I will attempt to explain my situation as clearly as I can.
Please note in your response that I am not familiar with a lot of the programming jargon. I also do not know how to actually create (or is it record?) a macro.
Finally, before I dive into it, I would *prefer* not to have to add code to the closed worksheets, but I can do this if there is no other way!.......

I have a workbook with a master data list including member names, member locations, member phone numbers, and various items checked out or on loan to members. I then have multiple sheets breaking down the data for quick reference. So for example Name, Member #, Location, Phone, Item A, Item B, Item C, Item D etc... I need to be able to have all the Members that are in certain cities displayed in it's own worksheet. I have played with the aggregate function, if and functions,... and I am dying. This is for a motorcycle club to keep track of who has ordered what, how much they owe, how much they've spent etc.

I need to be able to locate some important columns in a table of raw data (the column locations are not fixed).
I would like to identify the locations (based on the heading values in Row 1) and store them as Public variables. The Match function works fine for this, however I'd like to make a simple loop to set these variables (opposed to repeating the function for each).
In the example below, I can't figure out how to reference "List1(Count)" as the name of the variable I'm trying to set.
Code:
Public Field1 As Long, Field2 As Long, Field3 As Long 'The column numbers will be stored here
Sub FindFields()
Dim List1(3), List2(3)
Dim Count As Long
'Public variables (declared above)
[Code] ......
So after running FindFields(), the Test1() macro should give "1 - 2 - 3" (for example) as the locations of the fields in Sheet1. But currently this doesn't work.

In short, I would like a pivot table to only count unique values, but when I click into the pivot I would like to show all instances of that value. For example:
I have a table of data that I am creating a pivot table from. There are fields for Customer ID, Task Name, Age, and Notes. There will be multiple records for a single Customer ID each time it has new notes.
I would like to create a pivot table that has Task Name in the Row Labels, Age in the Column Labels, and count of Customer ID in the Values, so that, for example, I can see how many accounts have been in the Design task for 2 days. However, when I do this it counts each record, but I would like it to count each unique Customer ID. Also, when I click into the pivot, instead of pulling up one line per Customer ID, I would like it to pull up each instance of Customer IDs in that Task Name/Age combination (similar to doing a DISTINCT in SQL).

I have a list of isometric drawing numbers ending with a [underscore]weld number e.g. 1692-SG-0040-04_05.
Some welds are repaired--in that scenario the amended weld number will be 1692-SG-0040-04_05R1, and even 1692-SG-0040-04_05R2 if repaired for a second time.
On occasion a weld may be cut out entirely and a new weld done. The weld number for that will be 6317-FG-1690-02_06C1.
And here's a wrinkle I've just verified...a cut weld may also be repaired so the weld number will look like 1698-SG-0077-01_04C1R1.
Is there a formula to count these as one weld:
1692-SG-0040-04_05
1692-SG-0040-04_05R1
1692-SG-0040-04_05R2
This as one weld:
6317-FG-1690-02_06
6317-FG-1690-02_06C1
6317-FG-1690-02_06C2
...and this as one weld:
1698-SG-0077-01_04
1698-SG-0077-01_04C1
1698-SG-0077-01_04C1R1

I am having trouble creating a function to count duplicates of duplicates.
An example of the data table 1 is:
Product 1 2nd

Product 1 New
Product 1 New
Product 1 Flt
Product 2 2nd
Product 2 New
Product 2 New
Product 2 Flt
Product 2 Flt
Product 3 2nd
Product 3 2nd
Product 3 2nd
Product 3 New
Product 3 Flt
I created a new table (table 2) and made a list of all the Products on table 1 and removed the duplicates. I now have 3 columns with titles New, 2nd and Flt as follows:
New 2nd Flt
Product 1 XX XX XX
Product 2 XX XX XX
Product 3 XX XX XX
I am trying to count the duplicates for each product (XX), but I can't seem to work it out. I've tried the MS help function, but unsure of the actual formula I need to be using.
I am using Windows 7 and MS Office 2010.

I have an existing Cash Flow Report that has a column of abbreviated/shortened (WBS Element) title where each cell contains a unique three lettered/numbered amount of characters (Example: 200). These three abbreviated character cells are specific and relate to their full/longer (SAP WBS Element) title (Example: WBS DWRRI-BW066-200).
In my attached excel model (Find, Locate, and Align WBS Elements to Cash Flow Report.xlsx), I need a formula for the, "Cash Flow Report WBS Elements" sheet in cells B3 thru B11 that will look at the abbreviated three lettered/numbered (WBS Element) titles in cells C3 thru C11, then search and recognize its unique counterpart contained in the, "SAP WBS Elements Export" sheet and return this full/longer (SAP WBS Element) title to the, "Cash Flow Report WBS Elements" sheet in cells B3 thru. B11, just to the left of its abbreviated/shortened (WBS Element) title.

In 'Column B' is a text description of the product, whose I.D. number is in 'Column A,' and should also contain the I.D. number from 'Column A' somewhere in the midst of the descriptive text. However, some of these in 'Column B' do not.
I need to create a function that looks for the value in 'Column A' and determines whether or not it is present in the text of 'Column B'. Therefore, spitting the answer out in 'Column C' so that I can copy it down for 100,000 cells.

I have attached a document paralleling a document I am working on. The dollar amount in each spreadsheet represent sales. I have entered in values into the candy, soda, and chips spreadsheet. I have also linked values for candy into the total spreadsheet. My question is can I somehow type something or drag the formula down to populate the other cells in the total spreadsheet?
The idea I am thinking but which I don't know how to implement is to list all the items (as in column G) and list all of the relevant cells (e.g. B1 in the Candy spreadsheet) as in columns H and I (Note that all items will have the same cells but the cells will have different values...e.g. all three items have a cell B1 and B2 in their spreadsheet but these cells contain different values). I then try and fail to create a formula in cell B3 of the Total spreadsheet. I am trying to create a formula of the following nature:
='(Spreadsheet Name From Column G)'!(Cell Name From Columns H and I)
The Second half of the formula doesn't really concern me (i.e. the cell name from column H and I). However I am perplexed as to how to achieve the goal in the first parentheses above.

I have two spreadsheets, one gives me the beginning and end of civil twilight as a measure of day vs. night. The spreadsheet has Date/Time in the first column, and the value 45 in the 2nd column when it is night. The second spreadsheet has also 2 columns with date/time and body temperatures of a squirrel. I want to get basic statistics (mean and standard deviation) of the squirrel's nocturnal body temperature, that is for times when it is night (value 45). The tricky part is that Date/Time of both spreadsheets are different. The procedure has to recognize that the date/time of body temperature lies between the beginning and end of the value 45 blocks of the first spreadsheet.

When I open as read-only and run my macros (testing), I save it as another file. When I then open the "template" to do the same thing, the toolbar/buttons now reference the file I previously saved as something else. Help please? Is there a macro that would delete all macros before saving the file as something else?

Sheet A has 10,000 records with these fields: id#, name, address, place of employment.
Sheet B has 5,000 records these fields: id#, GPA, college major, type of degree.
Some of the records in B contain information for the same id#'s as sheet A. I want to add this information together so that a Sheet C will have these fields: id#, name, address, place of employment, GPA, college major, type of degree.
