Macro To Create New Column From Common Words
Jun 4, 2013
I have a spreadsheet with approx 7000 rows, many of which contain the same item but with flavors and other variations on the end. An example would be:
VB:
A B
10142 6kg of whey bundle With Free protein shaker-Banana
10143 6kg of whey bundle With Free protein shaker-Chocolate
10144 6kg of whey bundle With Free protein shaker-Strawberry
10145 6kg of whey bundle With Free protein shaker-Unflavoured
10010 **Bodybuilding Warehouse Premium Whey Probiotic - 2.2kg
10011 **Bodybuilding Warehouse Premium Whey Probiotic - 2.2kg + FREE Shaker
Would it be possible To create a New column (column C) which would display all common words from row b into the New column Like below?
A B C
10142 6kg of whey bundle With Free protein shaker-Banana 6kg of whey bundle With Free protein shaker
10143 6kg of whey bundle With Free protein shaker-Chocolate 6kg of whey bundle With Free protein shaker
10144 6kg of whey bundle With Free protein shaker-Strawberry 6kg of whey bundle With Free protein shaker
[Code] ....
I've attached a larger sample of our list to get a better idea of different variations that are on the spreadsheet.
I think what we need is something similar to this thread[URL] .....

I have a spreadsheet of part #'s, descriptions, manufacturer names, and manufacturer part #'s. (It's a list of the inventory in my warehouse). Each row contains information for just the item in that row. Row 2 references another part in my warehouse, row 3 yet another, and so on.
Many of the parts have more than one potential manufacturer and part #, (meaning that any of those manufacturer's part #'s are basically the same tool; just different brands. At one time we may get a shipment of one, at other times we may get a shipment of another). For example, a screwdriver may be listed like this:
Part # 1234 screwdriver, mfg Snap-On, part # 456, mfg Stanley, part # 789, mfg Mac Tool, part # 439.
Then further down the list, there may be another part listed like this:
Part # 9980 wrench, mfg Stanley, part #741, mfg Snap-On, part # 852, mfg Proto, part # 369.
If you can imagine that data across the cells of a spreadsheet row, notice how the mfg name 'Snap-On' was the first mfg name on the screwdriver, but it was listed as the 2nd mfg name on the wrench.
So, here's my question: I want to be able to group all of the items made by any one manufacturer together in a new list. If all of the manufacturer names were in the same column, I could simply sort the list by that column, but since I've got thousands of rows with the mfg name I'm looking for in different columns on different rows, I thought maybe a macro could search each row for the word I'm looking for, then if found, take the whole row and copy it to a new worksheet. So the end result would be, If I wanted to see all items of which Snap-On is an acceptable supplier, I could get a list of all potential Snap-On items grouped together.
I'm sorry this is so long. I may have over-worded this and it may not be too clear. I could email an example of the spreadsheet if anyone needed more info to figure out what I'm looking for and was willing to take a look at it.

I've been racking my brains trying to find a way of doing this. I have a list (column A in Excel) of over 50,000 organisations and I'd like to know what the most common words used in the names are. Ideally it would great if I could produce a top 10 list of the most common words at the top e.g. Ltd, School or Church with a count in the next column of how times that word it appears

I have two columns(1 and 2), Column two will for each data set have two common values. For most of the data set where column two have the second common value, i can find it based on column 1, but where column 1 differs, i do not know how to get data based on column two.
See attached, column 1 and 2 data. Column 3 I took out one common value, column 4 I just did a IF function to populate blank spaces with common value, but for row 24 - 26 if does not work because column 1 does not follow same logic. Is there a way to populate a third column with one value(can be either of the two common values in column 2(note there will be multiple data sets)?

I'm trying to write UDF which getting RegEx pattern and a certain cell as arguments and returns only matching string. For examples for string "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog", and RegEx pattern "w{4}" the function will return two words "OVER" and "LAZY". What should I change in my code?
Function GetPattern(myPattern As String, myString As String)
Dim regEx As RegExp
Dim Matches As Object
Set regEx = CreateObject("VBScript.RegExp")
With regEx
.Pattern = myPattern
.IgnoreCase = True
End With
GetPattern = regEx.Replace(myString, "$1")
End Function

I am attempting to take a very large list of keywords, and find the most common words and phrases within them. For example, if I had a list that said:
excel formulas
excel spreadsheet formulas
excel help
excel formulas help form
formulas for excel
I would like to come away knowing that "excel" and "formulas" are common words within the list.
Currently, I believe this can be accomplished by doing the following:
1. Break down each line into all of its possible combinations.This would mean that the line with "excel spreadsheet formulas" would return:
excel spreadsheet formulas
excel spreadsheet
spreadsheet formulas
excel
spreadsheet
formulas
2. Once the entire list is broken down into its many parts, use the pivot table feature of excel to determine how common each of the parts is within the entire data set.
So, my questions are these:
1. Do you believe this is the best way to solve my problem? If not, what would be the preferred method?
2. If this is the best method, what function or script would I use to accomplish the first step of breaking down the lines into their individual parts?

I've been using conventional method to do this and it's time consuming. I would like to total up 2 column. A multiply B to be exact. Below are some examples:
Table 1 - Before totaling up:
Quantity
Product
5
2 x Button A White
3
4 x Button B Pink
4
5 x Ribbon A Black
2
3 x Thread A White
6
2 x Cloth A Blue
Table 2 - After totaling up:
Quantity
Product
10
Button A White
12
Button B Pink
20
Ribbon A Black
6
Thread A White
12
Cloth A Blue
I need to have the sum of the "Quantity" multiply "Product". Or in short A x B.
And the end result need to have the number and "x" sign removed while keeping on the the products names. (2 x ) Take note it's "number" space "symbol" space.

I expect to deploy over 200 iterations of a workbook (templates if you will) containing a mix of up to one hundred different attributes each with its own list of valid values. My problem is the attributes don't always default to the same column in every template workbook. Therefore, to make things easier for users I would like to create attribute valid value dropdown lists on the fly using the "Valid Values' table as the source data (see the attached). Since the attribute names will be the same from one template workbook to the next, I wanted to come up with a macro that would reference a source table (a separate workbook) containing all valid values for all attributes which users would be required to download to their local machine.
See the attached example workbooks and an example of a "Valid Values" list. Here's what needs to happen: When a user opens template workbook #1 I need drop down lists containing the valid values for the attributes contained in cell B3 (User Code),C3 (Department) and D3 (Category). Likewise, when another user opens template workbook #2, I need drop down lists containing the valid values in cell B2 (Department), C3 (Group), D3 (Category), E3 (Level), F3 (Material) and G3 (User Code). Notice that "Department", "Category" and "User Code" are data elements common between both workbooks but resident in different columns.

A friend of mine is playing a computer game, and he has to create 50 different potions to obtain her next goal. She would like to know if it's possible with excel to generate a list of potions based on 7 different elements. Here are the 7 elements : Black orchid, Cactus, Lotus, Pitcher plant, Rose, Tiger lily
Every elements could be repeated to generate one potion.
Therefore, the following combinations are valid :
Cactus - Cactus - Cactus
Cactus - Rose - Cactus
Cactus - Cactus - Rose
Cactus - Rose- Rose
As long as there are no more than 3 elements, it's ok. I'm not looking for the precise coding, I just need to be pushed in the right direction...

I have already created a VBA Script for other parts of this project, so I would like to add the script to the end rather than create a separate macro. If there is a formula that can do this I am willing to work with that as well.

I have two lists, let's say:
A B
Eva 1982
Anna 1981
Lisa 1983
John 1980
Steve 1972
...
And
A B
Eva Female
John Male
Lisa Female
...
Can in any way match the above lists automaticly, so the information from List number 2, column B, appears at the correct place in List number 1, Column C? For empty cells, no information is fine.

Table 1
Code:
7/4/2011AMWG16=01BLK25K_USA[a3]*042711Date a Rich Black Man By June 232350$0.19 http://www.jyxsaw.com/blackrm/index.php?t202id=2676&t202kw=AMWG16=01_0210-3
7/4/2011AMWG16=01BLK25K_USA[a3]*042711Date a Rich Black Man By June
[Code]....
I've got two tables of information here, if you scroll to the far right of table 1 and look at the left of table two, you'll see a common code like:
AMWG16=01_0211-20
AMWG16=01_0212-16
and these entries will appear multiple times as well
AMWG16=01_0212-16
appears twice and the data is different and will need to be added up
How can I:
1. Add up the data on each table with the common string such as "AMWG16=01_0212-16"
2. Take all the data that has been added up and combine the statistics, for example,
when its all done it should show
AMWG16=01_0212-16
in the first column, and then all the statistics from the two tables in the columns to the right.
I'm guesssing...
Since some entries appear multiple times, you will need to sum up all the unique entries for that value. Say:
AMWG16=01_0211-20
Shows up three times, you'll need to sum up all the values and this needs to be done on both tables
THEN
You can combine the data
I'm familiar w/ vlookup, index, match functions, but I'm not quite sure how to put this all together

I'm applying a filter in a sheet that's something like this, after applying the filter it looks like this (Example Item 999)
Item
Inv. Qty
Avi. Qty
Flag
BOX
999
12
9
N
X1
[code]...
I was trying to get the "Flag" Column value, (inside the filter and it crashed)
Code:
With InventorySheet
.AutoFilterMode = False
LRowOnQ = .Cells(Rows.Count, "Q").End(xlUp).Row
.Range("B1").AutoFilter Field:=2, Criteria1:=Project
.Range("D1").AutoFilter Field:=4, Criteria1:=ContractNumber
.Range("N1").AutoFilter Field:=14, Criteria1:=Code
.Range("Q1").AutoFilter Field:=17, Criteria1:=">0"
Set rangeFilteredInventory = .Range("Q1:Q" & LRowOnQ)
ControlFlag = .Range("L2").Value
End With
After the filter, it always take the same value.
Code:
With InventorySheet
.AutoFilterMode = False
LRowOnQ = .Cells(Rows.Count, "Q").End(xlUp).Row
.Range("B1").AutoFilter Field:=2, Criteria1:=Project
.Range("D1").AutoFilter Field:=4, Criteria1:=ContractNumber
.Range("N1").AutoFilter Field:=14, Criteria1:=Code
.Range("Q1").AutoFilter Field:=17, Criteria1:=">0"
Set rangeFilteredInventory = .Range("Q1:Q" & LRowOnQ)
End With
ControlFlag = InventorySheet.Range("L2").Value
Is there any way to take the most common letter of the result range?
I'm aware there's a average option in subtotal, but I think it's just for numbers.
Code:
With InventorySheet
.AutoFilterMode = False
LRowOnQ = .Cells(Rows.Count, "Q").End(xlUp).Row
.Range("B1").AutoFilter Field:=2, Criteria1:=Project
.Range("D1").AutoFilter Field:=4, Criteria1:=ContractNumber
.Range("N1").AutoFilter Field:=14, Criteria1:=Code
.Range("Q1").AutoFilter Field:=17, Criteria1:=">0"
[code]...
And it doesn't even do the loop.

I'm using excel 2008 for mac. I've got a spreadsheet with around 4000 rows. The data is organized like this:
|___________URL_________|______EMAIL______|
|Example Domain
|Example Domain
|Example Domain
|Example Domain
|Example Domain
What I'm trying to do is concatenate all of the URLs into one cell so that each email address has only 1 single row with many URLs associated with it. I tried using VLOOKUP(B1, $A$1:$B$4000, 1, FALSE) but this didn't work. I thought it was a long shot anyway. I also tried writing a bash script do parse a csv with this data and create a csv file with the URLs concatenated with no luck. I'm trying to get my data to look like this:
|___________URL_________|______EMAIL______|
|Example Domain
|Example Domain
|Example Domain
|Example Domain
|Example Domain
Where these are 2 adjacent cells.
EDIT: The format didn't turn out like I'd hoped. In the first example, each URL has an associated email address, each in its own row. In the second, it is just one row, with multiple urls in the first cell and an email address in the second cell.

1. use columns A's value in worksheet 1 to match a row in worksheet 2 then merge columns from worksheet 1 & 2 and insert into a new worksheet
2. repreat until all rows in worksheet 1 are read

I have a couple of spreadsheets. all of them have a same or common column called "ID".
The order of the ID columns of the spreadsheets are not in the same order however.
I'd like to see if there is a way that I can merge the spreadsheets to one using the shared ID.
To explain more:
Spreadsheet1 columns are: "ID", "URL", "Location"
Spreadsheet2 columns are: "ID", "Picture"
Spreadsheet3 columns are: "ID", "Address"
As I said copy/past is not an option as the IDs are not in the same order. I need to create a new spreadsheeet and have all "ID", "URL", "Location", "Picture", "Address" in that spreadsheet.

I want to delimit the string in such a way that the for each parameter, the parameters will beome columns with headers and the value against them will be shown in thier respective column. The output tab in the attached excel might make what I am trying to convey more clear.
So basically CPU should have its own column and its time against it.
There are thousands of such column that we wish to analyse and therefore the ask.
I tried various option to delimit including recording a macro but did not work
CPU: 5,622.871 ms, Sync: 0 ms, Wait: 0 ms, Suspension: 2,399.921 ms

A1=SN0001 then hyperlink will be SN0001. Only thing i can remember how to do is record marco, but ofcourse copying the cell will return a hardcoded value.
ActiveSheet.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=Selection, Address:="1"
Where address is :="1" how do i paste the activecell. I have 9000 cells to hyperlink.

The attached file contains a simplified version of a more complex macro in which a sub routine will be called a number of times to change the colours of cells in different ranges. However, an error is triggered because the a variable and range are not defined in the subroutine although they are in the main part of the macro.
I know I am missing something obvious here, but I'd appreciate any help in knowing how I can define the ranges in the main procedure and then call the subroutine to change values in the different ranges.

The number of workbooks I need is not fixed. It all depends on how many names are in column C.

I've only done a small amount of macros with VBA.
I want to create a macro to insert 12 cells left of a column labeled "This Year" As the spreadsheet grows (by 12 columns @ year) the "This Year" column moves to the right. Thus I need to reference the range off of that column and then insert 12 columns directly to the left of it each year. Can I somehow reference the label "This Year"?
I then need to enter the month labels in the new columns row 8.
My problem is trying to reference off the "This Year" column.
