Matching Text In A Large Table?
May 8, 2014
I have 3 columns thousands of rows each, P, Q and R. Column R is the names of accounts.
I have another column E with also account names but not in same order as R. Another small glitch is, some of the names in R have extra characters at the end (such as one or more spaces bars, etc). But the entirety of the text in E is present in a cell in R, sometimes with extra characters at the end.
I want to match the account names and pull the corresponding values in the same row from columns P and Q, and populate my currently empty columns C and D.

I've got a problem which I'd like to do without using VBA if possible. I have 2 rows, one with text and one with numbers. I need to go through all the text, find the text that matches and add the number in that row.
That's very poorly explained so I've given an example below:
text 1 20
text 1 10
text 2 10
text 1 20
text 2 10
I need the formula to do this:
text 1 50
text 2 20

I have a spread sheet with Column A = Document number, Column B = revision.
I am trying to get a macro that, when run, increases the revision letter in column B. The problem is that we do not use a few of the letters such as I, O, P and Q.
I thought it would be best to have a table of the used revision letters (Say in Z1 to Z40)
Look at the text in column B of the row currently selected and find it in the Z1:Z40 table
Move one cell down the Z1:Z40 table and copy that text back into column B on the row initially selected.

I'm trying match values (and set a Yes / No result) from values in two very large lists.
List 1 (approx 170,000 rows) contains the 'Find What' values
List 2 (approx 980,000 rows) contains the 'In What' values
Values in list 1 will be unique in list 2, but not all values in list 1 will appear in list 2. The values in each list are all 16 character stings. This is a one-off otherwise I'd probably import into a AccessDB.
Using formulas is taking an absolute age to calculate using MATCH function, so I'm wondering if coding is the better angle.

I am trying to do is create a list from a large table (see attached). I have 2 columns (A and B) listing 'Asset' and 'Area' and then 2 rows (1 and 2) listing 'type of task' and 'task'. This forms a table with entries in the cells (from C3 onwards) denoting frequency of each task at each location, i.e. daily, monthly, 6 monthly and annual. This gives me quite a large table which is quite confusing. Can I create a formula to sort all the daily activities which will give me a list of the 4 corresponding properties 'country', 'location' (in columns A and B) and 'type of task', 'task' (in Rows 1 and 2)? Then do the same for the different frequencies populated in the table, 'monthly', '6 monthly' and 'annual' ???

I'm having an issue where I want to merge lots of tables held in different spreadsheets into one large table so that I can use it in a pivot table. The attached spreadsheet demonstrates what I mean:
So there are 3 different accounts held in the first 3 tabs. These all have the same columns and format. I want to merge these automatically into the table that is in tab 4 so that I can use the pivot table also demonstrated in this tab.
What I want to happen is when I add rows to the tables in the first 3 tabs, these are automatically populated onto the 'overall' table in the 4th tab. (I'm aware I could do this manually, but for what I'm using this for these will be dozens of tables with hundreds of rows updated monthly).
Is this possible? Basically it doesn't matter how it's done, as long as i can show the information held in the pivot table each month end.

My pivot table file is currently 12.7 MB and I need to get it much smaller so I can email it and it still be functional with the data.
I have tried right clicking on the pivot table, going to PivotTable Options, clicking on the data tab, unchecking the 'save source data with file' box, and checking the 'refresh data when opening file' box. This shrunk the file perfectly but when i email the file the Pivot Table was unusable because there was no data to back up the function.
The Error messages I got were 'Cannot open PivotTable source file'..... and 'Pivot Table report was saved without the underlying data. Use the Refresh Data command to update the report'. When I click on Refresh Data I still get the same error message.
Any way I can make this File smaller and still functional.

way to copy certain cell ranges from a main table into a different sheet (for nicer printing output, as in the main table there are also unused ranges) and in such a way that they would be copied there one after the other with no spaces between them.
( I have say A1:M1 with some cells for labels,
then A2:M4 with a smaller table with some user choices etc. etc.
then again A5:M5 with cells for labels
and A6:M8 with another smaller table with user choices... )
multiply by 2x
Then I want to copy just those ranges that the User has selected something in - e.g. only A1:M4, if he selected something in A2
or A5:M8, if he has selected something in A6

I have a data dump, on this single excel sheet their are a large number of tables, up to 100 in all, and what i need to do is extract key figures to form a summary table which i then produce stats for.
What i need is a macro or code that will automatically scan the tables, retrieve the key figures and return them in my summary table.
Attached is an example, you will see three small tables labelled Servicing query complex, servicing query simple and total.
I need to extract the blue cell, being the name of the table, the purple cell being the last figure in column c in each table (total number or processes) and the green figure being the the average turnaround. The final figure is i think the hardest to get as its the total number of figures in column c that have either a 0 or a 1 in Colum A. Note that their will be table where neither 0 or 1 will appear.
All figures are dummy figures but the table structure is correct.

if there was a way I can put it in to some kind of pivot table, because the hardest part for people when they read his list is it's so large it's hard to find data easily.
So this is how he formatted his data... I was wondering what would be the best way to get this list in to a possible pivot table. This is a consilidated example, there are plenty more columns, but this will give you an idea of my problem.

624 Equipment Cost 900 50 40 300 20 1400
Now, the only thing I can think of is to make columns, but then I'd have to recopy all the task names (which there is about 700) for each of the different years (A= Actual, B= Budget, F= Forecast). Is there any other way that you can think of to do this with out making it so complicated? Any help or suggestions would be great. I really want some format that allows you to click the total and it goes to what makes up that total.

I have 2 large XLS sheets that need to be split into seperate sheets.
The first is only 5 columns wide but the amount of rows changes day to day.
The second is a maximum of 7 columns wide and again the amount of rows will change.
I'm hoping for a VBA code to be able to do both on seperate books.
The A Column has the name of the company, and this can include (/,&) that will need to be removed, the names can also exceed 31 characters.
I would like to seperate the sheets by the company name and have the name appear as the sheet name.
Also the formatting from the master sheet to be copied to the resulting sheets, with a header row.
I have included the data for the larger of the two workbooks. data.jpg I have to pull the smaller report each day and the larger report each week.

I'm trying to count how many production orders i have per week. However, there are duplicated production orders per week. I only want to count how many unique orders there are for each week. I only see the ability to "Count", which counts my duplicates as well so it over inflates my true quantity.

I have a lot of data to try and summarize but they are in multiple smaller tables. I wish to only extract 2 variables, 'number' and 'total' from all of my smaller tables (lots of them) so the problem looks like this, i have these tables for example where the 'total' title is in a different column depending on which of the smaller tables you are looking at:
cat 1
cat 2
cat 3
total
[Code]....
I am trying to get:
number
Total
123456
30
234567
60
[Code]...
Because the number column is fixed and all of the smaller tables will all have a number in the same column maybe i can insert a column next to the number column and say "find the value where the column title is 'total' - however the location of the column title would change so not sure if this would work? I was also thinking of sorting the columns but that will not work either because of the smaller multiple tables?

I have a large text file (greater than 64k lines) which I need to import into excel. I only need anything imported from the text file that is for dates I specify. So I would like to run a line by line query and only import the lines I need.
The dates are always in position 43-50 (dd-mm-yy) in the text file itself, so the code would have to look at that section, see if the date is within the range specified and only import if it is (and then move onto the next line).

The code I have (without splitting) is in the attached workbook (sheet1).
When you enter something into Column H, the value of =NOW() should appear in Column K.
The original code only went up to row 212 and it works fine. Now I need it to do the same up to row 411 but get the "Procedure too large" error.
I've tried some form of:
[Code] ....
but doesn't seem to work for me.

The format of the numbers are:
####-##-###-####
I have 2000+ numbers is coloumn B.
There are a lot of sets of numbers that are still text! It's highly annoying and I need to analyze the data in Access.
I tried the paste special advice and the 3 ways microsoft suggests. I have a feeling its not working because of the required format that I need.
I need to do this project tonight!
Background: these are imported numbers, I had to combine other excel databases... By the way, is their an easier way to combine excel sheets into 1?

I have a large dataset. under the heading Theme there are blocks of text, ie not single words. i have created a simplified version below
Sample table:
StateThemeVictoriatradeNew South Walestrade, ownershipNew South WalestradeVictoriaownership,
test textVictoriatest text, tradeVictoriatrade, ownershipVictoriaownership, trade
I want to count, for example the number of times the words 'ownership' OR 'trade' appear for Victoria.
The formula i am using is doubling up on the last 2 entries.
This is what I have:
=SUM(COUNTIFS(A2:A8,{"Victoria"},B2:B8, {"*ownership*";"*trade*"}))

I'm trying to create a function in VBA,
I have a table of data and need to create a function which requires value (string), range and column number. This will then look for the value within the range and return the data for every match of specified value within the table.
I'm happy for the return value to be in the form:
val1;val2;val3;val4;...;val[n]

I'm working on a travel form, which allows people to enter a travel itinerary. From that, I want to be able to extract the cities where they are spending one or more nights - so that I can then do the calculations for accommodation allowances.
I am able to calculate the number of nights stay in each city where there is an overnight stop. But I'm stuck on how to extract every combination of City and Nights where Nights is greater than zero - there is no need to calculate for cities with no overnight stay.
I have attached an example spreadsheet.
Some notes:
- the itinerary and accommodation tables have to remain separate, as they hold more data than in the example,
- the itinerary table can't be sorted for number of nights. It has to be in chronological order for each segment!
Every lookup function I check out seems to demand a sorted table.

create cells which could be expanded/shrunk, to either show the first sentence or so of the essay, or the full essay. I'd need to be able to expand/collapse each cell individually, not by row or column as the tutorials I've found have shown. I'm pretty sure I've seen this done with a little +/- sign in the corner of the cell but I can't find the option. It would be a bit like on a website that have show more, show less buttons.

I have a pivot like the one above. I want to keep only the rows if "bar' falls within a range. So in a certain range (say d2:d7) I set the criteria for "bar". Is there a way to tell the table to keep only the rows, if the "bar" value can be found in d2:d7?

I was using SUMIFS on a large amount of data, but wasn't getting back the exact sum that I needed.
It turns out that I had cells with values similar to the following
Code:
000123
0123
Basically, text fields with the same numerical values, except for the number of leading zeros. Due to the nature of the table, the number of leading zeros is important.When I did SUMIFS, it counted the sum of the two values together. For example with the following:
Item
Batch
Qty
ABC
123
1
It appears that even if a numeric value is stored as text, SUMIFS treats it like a number.

The formula should match the name in A2, John, with value from the table in sheet 2 and return the correct region, this case North.
