Macro For Matching Between Two Spreadsheets And Finding A Value
Oct 27, 2008
I have two spreadsheets, spreadsheet A and B. In each spreadsheet there is a column labeled 'event' and a number in that column. I need to match the event number in spreadsheet A with the same number in spreadsheet B. In spreadsheet B in the same row as the event number is another value that I need copied back to spreadsheet A.
Manually I would have to copy the event number from spreadsheet A and use 'find' in spreadsheet B. Then check in the same row as the event number in spreadsheet B for a specific number, copy that, head back to spreadsheet A and paste it next to the event number.
I've tried to create a macro to do this but when using 'find' to match the event number in spreadsheet B it keeps on using the first event number I used instead of moving down a row onto the next number. I can upload the spreadsheet if needed.
I have spreadsheet A (below) which has various fields including a row headed: Postcode. Then I have spreadsheet B which has columns Name (A1), Postcode(B1), Practice Code(C1), Telephone (D1). (I can't figure out how to move on to another line here, for some reason the enter key does not work, might be a browser issue.) I have more postcodes on spreadsheet B than on spreadsheet A.
I want to compare the spreadsheets and where there is a matching postcode, insert the Practice code(s) from spreadsheet B (column C) into spreadsheet A (column A). At the moment the Practice Code column in spreadsheet A is empty.
Practice Code (A1) Name(B1) Name2(C1) Street(D1) Locality(E1) Town(F1) County (G1) Country (H1) Numbers (I1) Postcode (J1)
I have 2 separate spreadsheets. Spreadsheet #2 is a full list of items. The item names are in Column A. In Column B is an associated primary number. In Column C is an associated secondary number. Spreadsheet #1 is a partial list of items. The item names are in Column A. The primary number is in Column B. There is no secondary number given in Spreadsheet #1.
My objective is to find out what items in Spreadsheet #1 have a secondary number in Spreadsheet #2, and to group them all together so they can be easily identified. I am attaching a couple of example spreadsheets to give an idea of what I'm working with. The example's are small so it would be easy to just eyeball them and see what ones match up however the real spreadsheets I am working from are thousands of lines long so obviously eyeballing them is not the ideal way of doing it. Is there a formula I can use to reach my objective?
My spreadsheet consists of two columns, column A holds a series of numbers whilst column B, again holds a series of numbers but with an added single letter on the end.
What I would like to do is find a function which will match the numbers and letter in column B with the corresponding numbers in column A and then place the result in column C ....
I currently have two tabs. Tab A (Error Report) spit out a bunch of records that I need to find in the raw data/remove them. The value in column C in Tab A refers to Column A in Tab B (Data), and Column D in Tab A matches with Column N in Tab B, and Column E in tab A refers to Column C in tab B.
I want to know how I can find the records that match those 3 columns in the First Error Report Tab as I need to find those records and delete them as they are, as you can see, errors!
I have in Sheet 1 a list of product codes (that should be only numbers, i.e: 1010) on column A, product description on B and a sales column on C.
On Sheet 2 I have on column A I have in the same cell a letter "C" the product code and the product description(i.e.: C1010 Onions). On column B I got the sales total. ( I dont care about the letter "C" it can be deleted)
I would like to use a VBA code to find the same product codes between sheet 1 & 2 and copy the sales total from sheet 2 to sheet 1 when the product code is the same.
I have two tables, both contain a column of ID numbers and a column of addresses.
I would like a method to match the IDs from table1 to those of table2 - if no matches are found, search for matching addresses, if a match is found then output the ID in table1, the address, and the corresponding ID in table2.
If still no matches are found, output the ID and address from table1 and indicate that it didn't match.
Then I want to check table2 records - i.e. search for matching address between the records and output the table 1 ID, address and table2 ID were partial or no matches are found, as above.
I have 2 pretty large zip code lists, we will call them columns A and B. I know that I have some from A that match to zips in B, but I have alot more zips in B that don't match to column A. I need to identify all of the zips in B that do not match a zip in column A.
My task is to combine two large databases into one spreadsheet by extending the number of columns. The data from each database is 90% matching based on an identification number, however occasionally there are additional rows or unmatched identification numbers that need to be kept for analysis.
When this happens, there needs to be a blank row inserted to represent the missing data in the rest of the corresponding row.
I am having trouble finding a quick way to do this because I have approximately 12,000 rows (and columns up to DV when combined).
for example:
p1 data data data data p2 data data data data
[Code] .....
needs to become:
p1 data data data data
[Code] .....
I am guessing I will need a macro of sorts, So far I have made one column that tell me if the ID's are matching or not (1 or 0) and if they are not matching (0) I manually insert the rest of the row that is missing or make space for the duplicate data (which needs to remain).
I need to find if there are matching addresses in 2 different excel files. If the same address appears in both files, I would like the new worksheet to return the address along with the sale price from the 1 file and the rental amount from the other file.
I have tried using vlookup but the problem is the exported data file contains the street number in one column and the street name on another column. I have attached a truncated example of both the rental data and the residential sales data.
I am trying to set up a macro that hides certain columns of data in an automated spreadsheet that I don't need. How do I make the macro that hides the columns apply to all spreadsheets that are open except for the one I am in?
I've recorded a Macro that goes through multiple spreadsheets and refreshes the pivot tables in the sheets. I would like the Macro to run without it actually showing it go to each sheet and showing the pivot table updating. Bascially I would like the spreadsheet to remain on the first sheet while it's working with all the spreadsheet in the workbook when the macro is running.
So I am starting to get ambitious with Excel now and am looking at creating a macro that will automatically create a pdf file of several worksheets at the same time. However this is my problem. Using the current version of Excel there is a wonderful record macro button, however when I try to include a function that would create a PDF, it says that I need to save any changes before creating the PDF. However when I save the file, I have to stop recording which defeats the whole purpose of creating the macro in the first place.
How can I use the record macro function to create my pdf macro without learning visual basic? If I cannot, how to write what it is that I am trying to accomplish?
I currently have a macro that can be used by multiple spreadsheets. Is there that I can execute the macro within any specific spreadsheet without saving it in each spreadsheet. I just want to place it in a general spot so that in case there is modifications, I only have to change it in one place.
I have a number of reports in excel (all in the same format) which I need to take certain data out of and store it into one main spreadsheet. Searching through the forums I found some code which I think will do this:
Sub test() Dim myDir As String, fn As String, ws As Worksheet myDir = "C: est" fn = Dir(myDir & "*.xls") If fn = "" Then Exit Sub Do While fn "" Set ws = Workbooks.Open(myDir & fn).Sheets(1) ws.Range("a7", ws.Range("a" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)).EntireRow.Copy ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1).Range("a" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1) Workbooks(fn).Close False fn = Dir Loop End Sub I have tried using this code, altering the Dir String to the folder the documents are in.
However, when I run the code, nothing happens. I don't get any errors, and nothing appears in the spread sheet.
To be honest, I am not totally familiar with macros in Excel. I can get the gist of what the code is doing having using VB before, but am not totally familiar with some of the functions being used here.
I have all these spreadsheets from different vendors and all of these spreadsheets are in totally different formats. Is there a way I can create one macro and apply this one macro to all spreadsheets to get me a standard format?
The macro (used to) go down the list of spreadsheets and copy certain data from them into this master workbook. Now I'm getting a "'C:Users310108841DesktopTestFolder' could not be found" error and don't know why.
[Code].....
The error appears to happen here:
[Code] ....
What's more infuriating is that this appears to happen at random. I have been trying all afternoon to get it to work, and had no luck. I have literally just run it now, and it works fine. I can't believe it just works at random.
Sheet1 Column1: contains the word "dog" Column2: contains the word "bark"
Sheet2 Column1: contains the sentence "I like dogs a lot." Column2: is blank
What I need to do is search Sheet2/Column1 for the presence of "dog" and if it's present, populate the word "bark" in Sheet2/Column2 from Sheet1/Column2.
If I have a list (in sheet 1) of names listed in column "a" and numbers listed in column "b" and the same thing (on sheet 2) and I want to run a macro that takes the data from (sheets 1 and 2) and lists the matching names in column "a" (in sheet 3) and the number associated with the name (in sheet 1) in column b and the number from (sheet 2) in column c
I am struggling with a macro that I’m trying to create. Basically what it would do is it would start at cell K1 on a sheet called “Database” and look for the value contained in cell K1 in the entire sheet.
It would paste all matches until no more are found into a sheet called “Matches”. Cell K1 would also be moved to this sheet if matches were found against it. It would then move on to the next non-empty cell in column K.
If no matches were found it would move on to the next non-empty cell.
I work on a daily basis with spreadsheets in excel. The number of columns is the same, but every single spreadsheet has a different number of rows. I recorded this macro in a table with 1196 rows and I would like to use this macro also in other tables with a different number of rows.
I have the following macro that is supposed to find postcodes but it's not working correctly. I don't get an error message it just doesn't find any postcodes.
The postcodes are located on a sheet called "Postcodes" in A2-A2736.
If it finds the postcode it is supposed to return the contents of column B, E and F in a message box saying "B is your nearest branch. This is F miles away which should take E minutes to drive." B is the name of the branch, E is the drive time from the original postcode and F is the drive distance.
I've done something similar using functions but I think a macro is best, in essence in calculating in finance world, a Earnings Before Interest and Tax or commonly referred to as EBIT, one often takes out non operating income and non operating expenses.
What I was hoping to do is have a macro
1. Ask the user to shade or highlight which range to calculate from firstly (like Colo's HTML marker with the pointer where you use the border type lines to highlight the boundary first).
2. The macro than inserts a column to the right of the year block highlighted. the macro uses this column to tag the financial line items, ie. in this case below a 1 for income types (can be any tag) and a 2 for expense line items.
3. It than looks through the database of words (and this is where the fuzzy logic comes into it, there are words which would definitely require a tag, but there are others which may require two matching words). I intend to fill this macro with many expressions which auditors and who ever prepare financial reports use as words in their financial statements..
4. So the macro than looks through this database of words for income and also for expenses, and when it finds matches, it tags alongside the finanicial a 1 for income and 2 for expenses .... signifying non operating income or expense.....
I need a macro that if value in column b matches with value in column a, delete it both the value in column b and a and put the deleted value into column c. now my value in my columns is a combination of numbers and letters and it can have this characteristic too: `2076 or `FI7890
I have a row of cells with names. Alex, John, Martha, Jim, etc. Each person has a list of data under them. I have a master column of data. Depending who is on duty today, I want the macro to find the person and then copy paste special the master column over the person column.
Thus, in the macro code where it says
Find(What:="John",
I want it to refer to a specific cell. I.e. what:=$E$4.
Then it must go to the cell it found and copy paste the info in.
i want a macro to advance filter column A and make a unique list of it and then find the maximum value of each country in column A in 10 years. for example final table for country "CL" must be same this
