Matching Names On Different Worksheets With Function To Add Abbreviations
Jan 12, 2010
writing a macro script. I want to find matching names on two diffferent worksheets. More specifically I need the ability to match if I apply a abbreviation(s) to worksheet one in order to get matches in worksheet two.
e.g Company = Co. or
Insurance = Ins
Please see my attached excel document for an example.
I have over 27000 lines so doing this manually will take forever!
Ideally I would like this to be a macro script that I can edit to add as many different abbreviations as required. The attached document will make my task a lot clear.
Unfortunately I don't have any starting code as I am not an excel/visual basic programmer, But i hope somebody will be able to help me out here.
The reason I need to do it this way is because I have been given a file from a partner company that uses different abbreviations to the ones we use in my company. I want to see if the companies in the list I have been given already exist in out company database, therefore we need a suitable matching procedure.

I have two columns listing about 400 and 500 names respectively.
First Column has names in alphabetical order and the second column is random.
One column has names in this format: Last name, First name and the other column lists the names as first name and then last name without the comma .
I am trying to see if the list of names in one column exists in the other.
Is there a way to see this without changing the format of the names in each column? If so do I have to erase the comma?

I have a list of names in a column and another list of names in another column. The columns are named patient and user. Is there a way to right a formula that would highlight a name match when a name matched in the two columns in the same row?

I have 2 reports that I want to merge which are exported from different applications. The problem is that the names appear in a different format and I can't work out how to match them up. The fact that not everyone appears on every report I have solved by using lookup as in the attached workbook. What I need to do is use a formula that will recognise the two different name formats and match them up. i.e. Campion, Ben P. and Ben Campion. See attachment.

I have a spreadsheet that is used for sales territories. In column A, I have customer names, in column B, I have the State abbrev., In column C I would like to return as salesperson's name based on the State.
Aco IL John Smith
ABco OH Jane Doe
Cco WI John Smith
Czco IL John Smith
Dco WY Adam Scott
Fco UT Adam Scott
FDco CT Bill Jones
etc WI John Smith
So I need a formula to enter in column C, that will return the correct salesperson based on the state in column B. (when auto filled down)
For example: IL,WI,MN,IA,ND,SD = John Smith
OH,PA,KY,MI, = Jane Doe
etc

In Cell A1 I have a name (John Doe). In cell A2 I want the formula which will be a number total. In Cells A4:A20 I have a list of names with John being in several of them. In Cells J4:J20 I have numbers. There is data in between the name and numbers that I don't need.
So, I want A2 to search A4:A20 and everytime it sees John Doe to add the numbers that are 9 cells over (J4:J20). This is basically to show how many mistakes John has made (total). I tried =Sumproduct((A4:A20=A1), (J4:J20,1,0)). I know I am missing something or not on the right track.

I have a worksheet that has a compilation of reports, each of which has multiple columns that aren't necessarily organized in an Excel-friendly way. However, the first column contains a list of "name" headings (titled "Name") and the second adjacent column always lists the actual name right beside it. Similarly, each person has a value heading in the first column (titled "The Value") and the actual value in the second column. What I would like to be able to do is have Excel search for the Name heading, paste the value in the adjacent column (the actual name) in a cell in a new worksheet, then search for "The Value" and do the same thing in the column adjacent to the one where the actual name was copied. The catch is I need Excel to do this and then search again for "Name", skip it, and start again with the first part of the procedure until all names and their associated values are matched. how to do something like this in VBA?

I'm working on a project that has 2 sheets. the 2nd sheet has the raw data and the first sheet will be the sorted data.
To deliver the raw data on sheet 2 to sheet 1, I need the different names on sheet 1 to match to its corrosponding name on sheet 2 then deliver the value in another cell. I don't need the zero values but on some occosions the zeros and numerical values will be switched so i will need a formula that will deliver the numerical value to sheet 1 after it checks which cell contains the numerical value between columns B and C. there will always be a zero and a numerical value in either column B or C for each.
It will look like this. (assume 3 rows A, B and C and each value and name is in its own cell).
Sheet 1
Name
$
Interest
Cash
Dividends

I have a list that looks sort of like this:
Last Name | First Name | Date | Service Day
Smith...........John....................Monday
Jones............Alex...................Thursday
etc..
This list goes on down for like 50 cells. Anyway, I'd like to make a new list based on Service Day so that I can organize the names under the service day so it should look something like this:
Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday | etc..
Smith, John..............................Jones, Alex
etc...
I tried using the vlookup function but then it confused me when i also needed to match the names with their respective service days.

I have an excel sheet which displays the data in the following format:
(See image attachment). This is just an example of the way the master list is formatted. The master list has over 18,000 lines. Basically, there's a project name, resource name, and number of hours worked for the project within that work week. I've been trying to figure out a way to create a formula or macro to search all these names and add up the hours of the duplicates.
I need excel to search this list of names and total up all hours for each matching name and place each total value on another sheet. For example, Ken Craver has 8 occurances within the week of 1/21/2007 (from project 1 and 25) and his total hours = 31. So the value 31 should be calculated because all the hours associated with Ken Craver add up to 31. Then excel should scan another sheet which has a list of resource names and once it has found the matching name on the other sheet, it will place the value 31 in the column next to the name.

I currently have data in the form of: "510 E. 96th Street, Suite 400 Indianapolis, IN 46240"
And need a formula to extract only the state abbreviation from the cell, any ideas? I currently have the formula, =MID(O333,(SEARCH(",",O333)+2),2) but it only works if there is one comma for example, it works perfectly on this data:
2K MEDIcal 105 West Torrance Boulevard Suite 106 Redondo Beach, CA 90277

I'm trying to match stock portfolios of mutual funds with stock indexes to find out how much the portfolios deviates from the indexes (active share).
The deviation is simply calculated as the percentage of the portfolio holdings not included in the index.
The data I have is 10 years of monthly portfolio weightings for 30 mutual funds and 8 indexes, organized with company names in column A and the percentage weight for each company in each month in the adjacent rows (see simplified screenshot). I want to match all companies with all indexes.
Twofold:
1)The mutual fund data comes from one source and index data from another. This means company names are not spelled exactly the same.
2)Within the mutual fund datasets, a company might be listed more than once with different names. The different names refer to different periods in time, so what should be matched with the index is the sum of these columns.
The specific task that I need to accomplish is to match company name in the portfolio with the index and then return the absolute difference between weight in the portfolio and the weight in the index for each month. (see screenshot).
Hence the result I'm looking for is a matrix of company names (of each portfolio) in col A and the absolute difference between the portfolio and the index weight in the adjacent row.
The best solution I've come up with is to device a list of all the portfolio company names, including "doubles", and then for each index, add these company names and copy the row weightings. This I'm not particularly happy with because index weightings would no longer sum to 100 and it would be difficult to check for errors. Also, it would still take a lot of time.

I extracted data going back to 1980 from Bloomberg and realized that BB uses abbreviations rather than pure numerical values. For example, 3,000,000 is "3M," 300,000,000 is "300M," etc. I need a macro that converts "M" into the actual value, "B" into the actual numerical value, etc. For example, a macro that converts "3M" into 3,000,000. I know that I can identify the values in VBA with "###M."

How do I create a macro to sort rows into groups, add break rows in between & insert a product sourced from another excel workbook onto the break line?
I receive a spreadsheet each day with a series of requests, most of the information is the addresses & names etc with the important data in columns K,M & O. Data in each of these columns is a code that refers to a product and information sheet to be sent out to the person requesting it. They may want just one in which case data will only be in column K, if they want two there will also be data in M and if they require three there will be data in column O as well. The bit I do know is how to sort the important data into groups of the same by the country (column I) and the product sku's.
Whilst I can do the sort as a recorded macro I really need it to be part of a larger macro that does the following bit I can't get my head around. I need to insert a break row above each group then by cross referencing the data in the product sku columns to a separate workbook insert the appropriate item / letter combination onto the break line row, telling the volunteer which items to send out. This is a v look up?
I have attached an example of the files we work with, the first tab is with the data simply sorted and the second is what I need it to look like. I normally receive it as a CSV file, there are around 8000 possible combinations of product and instructions and the files are normally around 4000 records long. At present we insert the break lines and copy/paste the information manually, seriously slowing down the process.

I would like to be able to match (or search) for first name and / or surname between one worksheet (Sheet,1, which has all the names I would like to match with the other worksheets) and the other sheets in the same workbook (the data is very sensitive). Is the possible way of doing this using VBA.

I am trying to compare deductions from two different pay periods. I have the Data from check 1 & check 2 on different worksheets, in no order, and would like the data to auto populate on a third worksheet into a side-by-side comparison of the data. The problem comes when there is a deduction missed or a new deduction that only shows up on one of the two checks. I am having to manually insert lines to make my side-by-side comparison match. Is there a macro or something that can pull the data from these two soures and display them in a side-by-side comparison even if there is no match?

I have two worksheets with one row of 'accounting' type numbers in A1:A100 (it can be shorter or longer) on both sheets. I need to run a search on worksheet one to see which of them exactly match any on the second worksheet and then highlight them.
It can be a macro or it can highlight each entry a different color. Something so that I can determine which two numbers go together and I can run the thing only once.
There most likely will not be multiples on the same worksheet but if there are it will be few. If multiples happen it is ok it just needs to be matched to the second worksheet in a different color than the other similar numbers.
Another thing is if there is no match in either worksheet that is ok it can just skip to the next number in the list and check that one. There does not need to be a match.

I have a workbook with 3 sheets. AP, Move, Match. AP & Move will be about 40,000 lines.
I need a macro that will take the data from those two sheets and match them up on the match sheet by column A Line by line with all data moving over. An example is attached.
I'm not sure if this is possible, but please let me know if you need more info because I really don't want to do this manually. Anything that doesn't match I just need a blank line. I can add the true-false formula, but if it would fit in the macro that would be cool to.

I have rankings from several different sources all with different rankings for different people with a different number of people in each set of rankings.
I would like to match the names from each ranking set and place the corresponding ranking into one worksheet. I have done this without the code but over the course of the next couple of months the rankings will be changing.
I have them importing from the web so when they update I would also like for my rankings to update. Attached is the rankings each in their own worksheet.
The final sheet is what the end product looks like.

What I want to try and do is move certain worksheets if their name is changed into another workbook. So there are two scenarios:
1. If any worksheets name is changed to begin with "Old", then it is automatically moved to a workbook called "OldPlans"
2. If any worksheets name is changed to begin with "Expired", then it is automatically moved to a workbook called "ExpiredPlans"
When worksheets are moved to new workbook I would like them to be positioned towards the end of the workbook. So I am not sure how to go about this, first would it have to have a Name Change Event or something to trigger off what gets moved?

in VBA, I would like to do the following:
Delete the entire row where any cell in that row is equal to cell "b15" in worksheet "Metal Type".
I would like it to run across all the worksheets hidden or unhidden, in the workbook, (except for worksheet "Metal Type").
If possible I would also like it to prompt the user to accept the contents of cell "b15" in worksheet "Metal Type" or enter a new string.
Also can it alert the user when "no matches were found"
