Merge Duplicate/Similiar Rows Keeping Data In Same Columns
Sep 1, 2008
After sorting and filtering rows with in a set range I will have several rows that are almost duplicates. This is normal and expected due to how the workbook is used. Among these rows also will be several single rows that are not duplicates. It is important that I combine any two duplicates into one row. Example:
CREATE TABLES LIKE BELOW?
ABC D E F G H I J K
1 NameA 0XX15930777PS101300PS9
2 NameA0XX15930777PS91200PS10
3 NameX1159XXP555FBX1545PS9
4 NameB0A1234P123PS101263PS9
5 NameB1A1234P123PS90512PS10
What I need is this end result:
CREATE TABLES LIKE BELOW?
ABC D E F G H I J K
1 NameA 0XX15930777PS91200PS10PS101300PS9
2 NameX1159XXP555FBX1545PS9
3 NameB1A1234P123PS90512PS10PS101263PS9
Its important that the data in each column stay with in that same column. Also of course it needs to be on the same row with the same person (NameA and NameB). The Columns that would determine if its a duplicate are D and E . I would need this to be preformed via macro or some easy way so that others will not have a hard time. It will be on a protected Shared Workbook with Excel 2003. I've enclosed a Sample. How can I sort these or accomplish this and maintain the data where it needs to be?

I need to merge rows with duplicate values in column A (Patient Name being the most important one), with columns B, C, & D usually having different isolated values as well. Columns E, F, G, H, & I are date columns, but the data is always going to be the number 1, meaning a patient was seen once that day (if they were seen two times that day for different reasons, information would be in an unmerged second row [same patient name listed in two separate rows], where columns B & C would be different). Column J is an autosum of columns E through I if that makes a difference. Column K is a notes column. The data that needs to be merged is always added to the bottom of the spreadsheet in order to show that a patient was seen on any given day, with columns B through K almost always being blank. Example:
Column A---------Column B---Col C----Col D--Col E--Col F--Col G--Col H--Col I--Col J---------Col K
Patient Name-----Therapist---Shared--%P----2/3----2/4----2/5-----2/6----2/7---Total Visits--Notes
Alice Alpha--------AB----------PT-------1---------------------------------------------0-------------blah
Boris Beta---------BC----------SELF----2----------------------------------------------0------------blahblah
Carl Carlisle-------CD---------PTA------3----------------------------------------------0
Carl Carlisle-------AB---------SELF-----2----------------------------------------------0
Donny Delta-------DE---------PT--------1---------------------------------------------0
Ernie Elephant-----EF---------PTA-------2---------------------------------------------0
Alice Alpha-----------------------------------------------1
Carl Carlisle--------------------------------------1--------------1---------------1
Ernie Elephant-------------------------------------------1---------------1
This is what I'm hoping it can look like:
Column A---------Column B---Col C----Col D--Col E--Col F--Col G--Col H--Col I--Col J---------Col K
Patient Name-----Therapist---Shared--%P----2/3----2/4----2/5-----2/6----2/7---Total Visits--Notes
Alice Alpha--------AB----------PT-------1---------------1-----------------------------1-------------blah
Boris Beta---------BC----------SELF----2----------------------------------------------0------------blahblah
Carl Carlisle-------CD---------PTA------3-------1--------------1---------------1------3
Carl Carlisle-------AB---------SELF-----2----------------------------------------------0
Donny Delta-------DE---------PT--------1---------------------------------------------0
Ernie Elephant-----EF---------PTA-------2--------------1---------------1-------------2
In this example Carl Carlisle is being seen for two different things, however how would it be written so the macro would know which Carl Carlisle row to merge with? I'm thinking that before running the macro I could manually enter the information into column B so it knows which Carl Carlisle row above to merge with.
Data always starts at row 14 (row 13 is frozen pane header column), and extends to a row that is different every week depending on how many people happen to be in the list.
I found something from this link that looks very similar to what I need, but with no knowledge of coding, I have no idea how it should be tweaked: Merge Duplicate Rows Keeping Data In Same Columns
I know I'm asking a lot, but the amount of time this takes to manually go through hundreds of rows of patient names every week is incredibly time consuming, and I have too many other things to stay on top of at work for this to drag me down day in and day out.

I have a huge document that looks like this
Column A______Column B_____Column C
100/12__________B___________$
100/12______________________@
100/12______________________€
250/13______________________€
250/13______________________$
I want to keep in ColumnA all three rows of 100/12, because it has a value in Column B in one cell-which is the criteria, and remove the 250/13 because it has no value in cell B.
I was assuming that merging duplicates in column A, and than remove empty from ColumnB.

I have an excel spreadsheet with approximately 10000 rows. There are approximately 10 columns...
Column A - person's ID number
Column B - name
Column C - Street Address
Column D - City
Column E - State
etc...
It being such a large list there are many many duplicates (it was pulled from a bunch of different excel spreadsheets and combined into one via copy and pasting one document into the other).
I figured out a way to have excel highlight the duplicates in a different color... but scrolling through 10k people and deleting the duplicates is obviously very tedious (approx 40% of the spreadsheet is duplicates).
Is there a way to sort out the duplicates (via their ID number, column A) so that there are no repeats? I want to get rid of the 2nd/3rd/4th (etc) occurance of the person's information but I was to obviously keep the first occurance.
I tried using Advanced Filter but I must have done something wrong because it shrunk the list too far down.

I have a spreadsheet with only 80 rows in it and I need data from another spreadsheet with over 200 rows. One of these rows in each spreadsheet contains a matching field (Job #). I only want the 80 matching rows data from the over 200 row sheet.
Is there an easy way to combine these two. Even adding the 80 to the 200+ will be fine as I can just remove the blanks. I can't figure out a way to combine them and match them up.

I need the macro for deleting duplicate rows only it should keep one lowest value row.
for e.g.
Column A Column B
TS1234 100
TS1234 50
TS1234 200
Macro will compair dublicates in column A & it will keep lowest value row (i.e. 50 value in Column B), other dublicate rows will be deleted.

i have to clean a worksheet from duplicat rows. The list looks like:
A---------B-----------C
a---------s-----------b
a---------f------------b
a---------s-----------b
a---------e-----------d
a---------d-----------v
Those rows have to be deleted where duplicates exist in column A and C. In our example the first three rows would meet the criteria and two of them have to be deleted. Content of Column B has to be merged with ";" but without duplicates. The result would then look like:
A---------B-----------C
a---------s;f----------b
a---------e-----------d
a---------d-----------v

In a big data sometimes I have identical rows (maybe the 'Quantity' column has different value). I would like to merge them into one and add the quantities together. I have to use B and C (I need both) to find out if these rows are identical.
For example:
A1=date B1=111222 C1=ABCD ... and G1=quantity (1)
A2=date B2=111222 C2=ABC ... and G2=quantity (1)
A3=date B3=111222 C3=ABCD ... and G3=quantity (2)[code]......

I'm trying to sort by City first, then by Report #, but keeping the highlighted rows together. If I use the custom sort it will through my D2's at the bottom and not keep them with their city, report, and D1. How do I get them to stay together? I have attached my document example.

I have attached a before and after image of what I am looking to accomplish.
In the before image, you can see that there are 3 rows of data
- a header
- a repeating model number (in column F) with accompanying data (values in columns G - J are the items of interest)
In the after image, you can see that I took the 3 rows of data and turned it into simply two rows of data
- a header
- the repeating model number
What I did however in the after image, as can be seen, is I took the data that appeared on the repeating row (Row 3 from the Before image), and included the PRICE, COST, BEGIN, and END values in new columns on row 2.
The model number is the same of course, which is why I did it that way.
If the model numbers were different, I would have simply left it alone, as-is.
Is there a way to accomplish this via some functions or maybe even a VBA script?
By the way, if we have to dump all of this onto a new sheet, then so be it.

I was given 6 spreadsheets combined into one (the reason is immaterial-but valid) it is what it is... unfortunately! (42 columns, 14,000 rows of which 450 names are duplicated as illustrated below)
I want to merge duplicate data.. but not the way I see it shown in all the 'merge' and the 'delete duplicate' threads I have seen so far.
I manage a homeless shelter and someone duplicated the spreadsheets and started using the duplicates to enter fresh data.... several times!
As a result I now have somewhere around 8 instances, (or 7,5,3 etc) of every homeless guest, but it has duplicate data in some columns, and new data in others, for instance:
I want to turn this....
Name SS# 1st entry date, 2nd entry date, 3rd entry date, fourth entry date, etc...
John Smith, 123-45-6789, 1/5/2010, 7/13/2010, 3/30/2011, 5/16/2012
John Smith, 123-45-6789, 1/5/2010,
John Smith, 123-45-6789, 1/5/2010, 7/13/2010, 3/30/2011,
I tried de-duping based on duplicate rows and that worked with the pure duplicates get out of the mix, but if I try to to de-dup on only the first two columns of data it may remove date I want to keep.So I need to de-dupe and merge at the same time.

I have a new project that needs macro code. Your help is very much appreciated. We have a spreadsheet with duplicate accounts meaning two or three rows with the same account but different information. We want to use only one row for one account and move the new data from the same account to one row only to the right and delete the duplicates. Can someone please help me with this?I read so many post and I tried some of them but it only delete the duplicate row and not copying the new data from that row to one row only. Also, the other code I tried was retaining only the current or old data. Actually, to elaborate more, I want to get the new data in each cell of the same account in multiple row and move it in one row to the right only and delete the duplicate in that same account.

There is one crucial feature to the 2007 Excel that has been overlooked.
Throughout all versions of Excel there has always been the feature of
converting text to table, however there is no way to do this in reverse.
There is no way to merge two columns of data and to keep all of the data
without one column overwriting the other. If only there were an automatic
way to merge two columns of data and to be able to place a delimited
character in-between, just like the “Convert Text to Columns Wizard”, except
in reverse. Currently, the only way to merge two columns of data is to
manually go row-by-row and cut and paste them together. However, for 500,000
rows of data… this is impossible. Or to use a function to merge two columns,
however this requires that the original two columns remain. This is also
unacceptable. If Microsoft really wants to make Excel more functional, how
can this vast improvement be overlooked?

I have a table with one column of data. The data in this column repeats with 4 relevant pieces of information that I want to put in 4 different columns (fields) in a different spread sheet (or the same would work better and I would just delete the first column when done) keeping the same order the data is now in.
The data currently repeats in a regular pattern (i.e. 123412341234 with no other data in between). I would like to do this with a macro. Could someone help write a macro that will do this

I have been scanning web forums for days and have not found a solution to my question. I have found similar, but unfortunately am not clever enough with Excel VBA to adapt.
I have two columns of data which I want merged into rows (a) by survey number and (b) by time slots. The data I have is similar to:
Survey No.....Results
12345...........9am-12pm
12345...........3pm-6pm
12345...........No answer
56789...........6am-9am
56789...........12pm-3pm
56789...........6pm-8pm
56789...........10pm-12am

We are doing a graduation project on an international airport, consist of scheduling flights on check-in counters automatically.
long story short, we ended up with an excel sheet like this: Screen_Shot_2014-05-11_at_4.png
Were y-axis are the check-in counters and x-axis is the timeline horizon (cell per 5-minutes)
I will do a VLOOKUP, to change each flight number to it's ID from an other sheet.
But the problem is that i want to AUTO-MERGE all cells with same value, because they represent one flight! and if i shortened the column width i can't see anything.
I want it to be like this: (i've done this manually, and it's VERY time consuming with errors because we have to do it for all days.)
Screen_Shot_2014-05-11_at_46FDQO.png
I googled for days, i only found Visual basic commands i guess? that only merge same rows. and they were poorly made. beside that it didn't work properly. Method to do it automatically?

So I have several columns of data that have a location and then some numbers after it in additional columns. I need to be able to sort it so that all locations that are in both location columns are sorted first, and then any locations that are in one column but not the other column follows. Also the data associated with each column that follows the location needs to remain next to the location. Many times the columns will be of highly disportionate lengths too.
I've attached an HTML table so you can get an idea of what I am looking at, except what I'm dealing with is like.... hundreds of cells long.
I want to be able to turn this:
HTML Code:
<table border="1" bordercolor="#FFCC00" style="background-color:#FFFFCC" width="100%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="3">
<tr>
<td>A</td>
[Code].....
And in this 6 row example, I'd actually only be interested in the 4 letters that were in both columns. If it makes it easier, I would be okay with discarding the last rows, but would rather just have them sorted at the end, so I could check if....for example there were two different spellings of the same thing, and they should actually be included.

I use the following code to merge all data a "master sheet", but I want to take the data and put it next to each other on the "master sheet", not under. For example, my range of data is "A1:D15" and I want to copy from all sheets. So my first paste would be A1:D15, then the next should be E1:H15.
I would like the code to find the used range, like it does currently.
Code:
Sub Merge()
Dim ws As Worksheet
ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Offset(0).Clear

I found a useful resource on the web that gives a macro that deletes rows when the cells within a SINGLE column are identical. [url]
Does anyone know of a macro that can do more than that, one that will delete rows if ALL cells within ALL columns are identical?
For example, the macro should delete row 4 of the attached spreadsheet. It should leave row #2 there because it's the orginal row. But the duplicate row #4 should be deleted. The macro should leave row #5 there because not all columns are identical for that row.

I have a set of data which I would like to do some processing on. Basically I am concerned with two columns
Column 12 and Column 9
Column 12 is a unique account Reference and column 9 is an invoice number. My scenario is that 1 account can have multiple invoices. I want to do is serach down column 12 and find all the matches and then I want to take column 9 and combine the data within that with the previous record.
Original Data
Column 9 Column 12
2345 A0001
2312 A0001
2341 A1200
1234 A0001
4569 A1234
3456 A1234
What I want to get to:
Column 9 Column 12
2345,2312,1234 A0001
2341 A1200
4569,3456 A1234
As you can see I basically want to combine any matches with column 9 and seperate with a comma and then delete the record it has taken it from
Function repair_invoice_numbers()
Sheets(target_sheet).Select
rowcn = 2
Do
