Lookup-several Occurences
Jul 22, 2009
In sheet 10 there is a list of hunderd of names with information. The information is download several times a week and is not sorted in any way
Column A - Name of sales agent
Column B - Property Name
Tabs 1-9 represent all the different sales reps
Here is what I want to do (I realize I can sort the data and copy paste but it is pain):
Tab 1
Cell A1 - "John Smith"
Cells A2-A50 I want to list the names of the properties in column B of sheet 10.
Cell A2 would find the first occurence of "John Smith" in column A of Sheet 10 and put in the data from column B.
Cell A3 would find the second occurence of John Smith in column A of Sheet 10 and put in the data from column B
Cell A4-A50 would find occurences 3-50

1st sheet is giving me partial results with a vlookup - only gives me the first match to my ref number.
2nd sheet is the source data and contains refs and one or more matches.
NB: This is just a sample of the data, however in my original excel file with 25000 records there can be one or even up to 10 matches.
What I'd like to achieve;
Sheet One; Column B should give all matches for the ref number found in Column A.
It should merge all these matches to fit one cell so that all matches are sorted one under each other with line breaks.
As there is 25000 records to treat I would rather not have to do anything manually!
Am I asking too much?
I've read on the forum that it's best not to merge but I don't know how to get around the fact that I need all the matches per ref no in one cell to reimport into my database.

I am using vlookup to return data from a range that could have the same name in column A.
There are 8 columns
Column 1 is Name
Column 2 is Sun
Column 3 is Mon
and so on.
The problem I have is that a name can appear in two places in column1 with relevant information in different columns:
Fred appears twice, on Wed he is on a course the rest of the week he is on leave. I need a C to be returned for Wed & A/l for the rest of the week.

I'm putting together a database in Excel and there is a particular item that I am having trouble with. I need to count the frequency of occurences in between events over a series of cells.
This:
ABBBAABBAB
Needs to be tracked like this:
ABABAB132211
Basically I need to write it so that when A occurs it counts how many times B occurs immediately after, until the next A. Once that is figured out I should be ok counting double A occurences.

I need to count data from column A to column C
whereas:
Column A - has data but there are data which occur more than once then it will be counted to column C
Reason is I need to delete the data with several occurence at column A so when I see the count at column C then I can be aware how many times the data at Column A occurs so I can delete it by filtering the data.

I have a list with several stocks tickers and the respective quantities and prices on three columns: example below. I wanted a formula to list all different occurrences of each stock only once. Later on I would consolidate all trades.
stock / price / quant / expected list
A / 10 / 1000 / A
B / 20 / -2000 / B
C / 25 / 500 / C
D / 30 / 2000 / D
E / 15 / -2000 / E
B / 20.5 / 1500
A / 10.2 / 1200
D / 29 / -500
C / 25 / 800
E / 16 / 2000

how many dates appear in a column. I have a spreadsheet wherein when a name is encoded in column A, the date is automatically logged in column B. Now, i need to count how many of those dates occurred in column B.
For the month of May - how many 1 May 2007, 2 May 2007...an so on.
After that - i need to match those dates to the name of the encoder and a another encoded status. It's like - 1 May 2007+john+approved = 1 occurence. I need to count them separately and combined.

A few days ago I used the function from a good member here:
=TEXT(B43/B$42;"0,00%")&" ("&RANK(B43;B$43:B$68)&")"
Can I use a function that counts how many times the rank value (1) for example appears in a row.Different row underneath will be OK.

I'm trying to formulate something that will count how many times say 5 comes up in a =randbetween(1,20) function. Of course if I do =(IF(A1=5,1,"") it will count it, but once the randbetween recalculates it will reset. Is there any way to do this so it keeps a cumulative count?

I have been given a spreadsheet to calculate. I think the data is very badly laid out but I cant change it. I have attached a sample from it. The original has 1000 people (accross row 1 in multiple sheets) and has approx 200 rows. I only have to calculate sheets individually.
I need to count all occurences in the row for;
Current Level = 1 and Training Requirement = 1 ( Cell B4)
Current Level = 1 and Training Requirement = 2 (Cell C4)
etc for all Currant Level 1-4 and Training Requirement 1-3.
I have been looking over how to use Sumproduct but I don@t see how to use it here.

I have and interesting delimma and I have been spending way too much time trying to figure this out.
I have a value in column B "Agreement". I have data in column C which could be just about anything. I need to be able to find "Agreement" copy the value immediately above it and paste it next to the value in column C.
You see this gets difficult for me, because there are many spaces in the spreadsheet and there may or may not be a value in C.
Here is an Example: I need for the value above "Agreement" to bel placed in the same column where there is a value in C? Clear as mud. I need this for every occurence of "Agreement" in this column. There are many occurences of "Agreement"

how to write a search and replace macro, but instead of writing:
Cells.Replace "OldText", "NewText"
how to independently read this "search" text into a string (hopefully a string that can handle 'more' than 255 characters per cell, even in Excel 2000) then replacing that search text("OldText") with ("NewText") step-by-step?
("OldText" can appear multiple times in one cell)

I'd like to evaluate a series of columns where a value greater than 1 would return all matches in another worksheet. I can't seem to use LOOKUP or Pivot Tables effectively to do this.
For example
Task Week1 Week2 Week3
task1 5 8
task2 6 10
task3 5
I'd like to create a view that would show Week1 having one task (task1) that will take 5 (hours). Week2 should show task1 and task2, Week3 should show task2 and task3

I am trying to get this code to loop through a dynamic range on one sheet and copy all occurences of a name (John Doe) to be copied into another sheet in a single column, but a new row for each occurence of the name.
I believe the problem is in looping the findnext statement,
Sub find_actor()
' Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+A
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
Dim random As Range
Dim connector As Range
Dim paste_connector As Range
Set random = Sheets("database").Range("C2")

I need to know what driver led a given lap of a given race (Col. G). Attached is my attempt. Something to consider is I need a formula that can be pasted down Column G as from track to track, from race to race the # of laps will not be the same. The number of drivers that led a given race will not be the same.
I have an array formula in cells of Column G for the # of laps in a given race (i.e. if a race was 100 laps it would go from G3-G100). I ran it down to 500 just to cover myself.
Column G: { =INDEX($E$3:$E$500, MATCH($F3,VALUE(LEFT($D$3:$D$500,FIND(" ",$D$3:$D$500)-1)),1))}
…it kinda works, but for some reason when it comes to lap 251 it gives me a #N/A error. It gives me the correct driver for lap 250 & 252 and all other laps but not lap 251. Also, a minor inconvenience is that I have to put a space after the first number & if at all possible I don’t want to have to do that.
I would love a macro where all I need to do is paste Column A, press a command button, & the macro does everything for me but that’s probably asking a lot. I know how to record a macro but don’t know anything about VB.
Column D & F have to be formatted as text. It has to be text format or when I cut Column B to Column D it changes some numbers to date (i.e. 1-2 becomes January 2nd).
Column B:
=RIGHT(A3,LEN(A3)-FIND("*",SUBSTITUTE(A3," ","*",LEN(A3)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A3," ","")))))
Column C:
=LEFT(A3,(LEN(A3)-LEN((RIGHT(A3,LEN(A3)-FIND("*",SUBSTITUTE(A3," ","*",LEN(A3)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A3," ",""))))))))-1)[/size]

I am having trouble doing a VLOOKUP, whereby I have a column of staff that are frequently detached from the workplace (See extract sample). One member of staff could be away 4 times in a year and I need to place the most relevant detached date (which would be 2 months ago and 4 months from today) into another table. This other table would then show all members of staff in alphabetical order with just one detached and return date. If the date falls out of the above parameters (6 month window), nothing would be displayed.

I have columns of data that can be filtered. My problem is that I'm unable to count the occurences of numbers once I apply a filter.
I know how to use Countif & Subtotal etc, but I don't know how to count occurences of numbers and see the results relating only to those visible numbers after applying the filter.
For example, say I have the following numbers in a column...
2, 0, 6, 1, 0, 3, 2, 4, 1, 5, 1, 0, 4
I then apply a custom filer selecting =4. My answer would be 2 (as there are TWO occurences of the number 4).

Cell in excel containing large amount of text. Contains the following text one or more times (including the speech marks): "Provide Dwd/Dwl Number: DWD*****"
What I need to do is extract all of the DWD values from this cell, load into an array and dump them into another cell. It's the extraction bit that I need to sort out. In my mind the way that the code should work is:
Find all instances of 'dwd'
For each instance of 'dwd'
check the next/proceding character.
if the character is a space, check the next one
if the character is not a number or space, break and go to the next instance of 'dwd'
if the character is a number add it and the next 5 characters to a temp variable (varTemp)
loop
take the value of varTemp, prepend it with 'dwd' and add it to the running list/array
Loop
Output the full list of DWDs

Does anyone know how, to count the same text, but on occasions?
So basically, I mean, if the letter 'S' was in 10 cells, but on 3 different occasions (meaning the cells aren't one after the other), how do I count the fist 'S' of each occasion it appears?

I am having problems with a macro I wrote that basically fills things in two columns based on a set of values from other columns.
Lets say it looks like this (column B is based on column A):
A1 = Hi
A2 = Hello
A3 = Hi
A4 = Hello
A5 = Hi
A6 = Hello
A7 =
A8 = Hi
A9 = Hello
A10 = Bye
After the macro runs, column B should look like this:
B1 = 10%
B2 = 20%
B3 = 10%
B4 = 20%.............

the attached spreadsheet is designed to record the number of days off workers have in a week. The drop down menu gives you choices to record the reason why a worker is absent but what I can’t do is total the number of days absent in a week as its words used to describe the absence and not numbers. If any one could assist me to total the days. I have attached an example which should explain the problem in a clearer manner.
