Merge Several Columns If Duplicates Exist In Column A
Apr 13, 2008
I have got a wordlist in worksheet "original" which looks like:
Before: [Code] .....
I need a macro which merges the columns B,C,D,E and F depending on if there are duplicates in Column A or not. If there are one two or more duplicates in column A,then those should be deleted and only one of them should remain in column A. The members of deleted duplicates in column B,C,D,E and F should be merged together. No duplicates should be made by the process of merging. Each member in column B,C,D,E and F has to be unique. The results are supposed to be put in worksheet "new".Columns B,C,E and F should be merged through signe "/". And Column D should be merged through signe ",".
After: [Code] ......
The macro must be able to deal with very large lists. biger than 200 000 words in column A
Here is the excel file containing the example : excel file
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.
The yellow highlight is where you input the data needed. The problem is it doesn't show the result when the letter has a duplicate. For example, when I enter "a" in the first input cell(input letter) and "1" in the next(input number), I get the result("a1"). However when I input "a" in the first and "2" in the second, the result just shows a blank cell, and so forth.
I have two columns that are the same field, both Middle Name. The first column does not have every single row filled and the second column has every row the first column does not have and vice versa. I want to merge them to one filled column.
I have 2 columns full of information feeding from 2 different sources on our internet database
I would like to collect this information into 1 column to create a drop down list
As these are expanding tables feeding from the internet I don't think copy and paste into one column will work (I'm not sure about this but I would prefer a formula to avoid any issues).
I have data in two columns where column A is a name and column B might be a synonym or might just equal the value in column A. I want to count duplicates if cell A2 matches any other cell in column A or B, unless the only match is with cell B2. If cell A2=B2, but also matches cell A7 then it should be counted as a duplicate. I've searched through a lot of the threads and found a lot of useful information, but nothing that seems to do what I need.
Columns A, B, C and D contan a list of Names, I want to be able to in column E list all the items in A,B,C and D with out duplicates. How would I do this?
I am trying to merge rows of duplicate entries, say I have the following information in a excel spreadsheet:
Column A: Name Column B: First Line of Address Column C: Area Column D: County Column E: Post Code Column F: Tel Number
If I have the data above in my spreadsheet I want to basically search and look at columns B,C,D,E and F and then if there are any duplicates of these for that row anywhere on the sheet I want it to merge the Data for those duplicate as shown below:
A|B|C|D|E|F Dave, Mark | Rice Rd | Liverpool | Merseyside | L45 7HT | 6381754 Tony | Hill Grove | Runcorn | Merseyside | L78 9JU | 6527897 John | Lime Ave | Runcorn | Merseyside | L34 9HF | 7248853
I have managed to find a macro that is shown below however this macro only looks at 1 column and then merges the data based on that which is not what I want
i have a wordlist containing about 0.5 Million words in col.A and Millions of meanings in Col.B. Now in Col. A there are many duplicates. I would like to make one cell of all duplicates in col.A and put their meanings together in B with seperator ";". Its very important that there are no duplicates in Col. B.
For example: Col. A Col.B w1 m1;m2;m3 w1 m1;m2;m5 w2 m23;m24 w2 m50
Now after running the macro the list should look like:
Col.A Col.B w1 m1;m2;m3;m5 w2 m23;m24;m50
The words in col. A are alphabetically ordered and all the duplicates are followed by each other.
I have a worksheet containing of column A and B. I want to remove the duplicate words and merge their meanings without having duplicates in merged meanings.
I want to remove the duplicate words in Column B and merge their meanings. The new wordlist should be then in Col. D and the merged meanings in Col.E:
Result should be:
Col. D...........................Col. E w1...............................m1;m2;m4 w2...............................m3
I have a code for this problem but unfotunately it allows duplicates in E. I will be very thankful if some could help me out with that. I want the code not to allow duplicates in column E.
We receive huge Excel files and we need to validate for and delete duplicate records before they are imported to a software product called Exceed Premier. We are having a difficult time with Excel spreadsheet duplicate record validation because we have to first export the files from the Exceed database into an Excel spread, merge the thousands of other new records from multiple Excel files, then import back into Exceed.
Is there a method in Excel/VBA that can merge several worksheets and check for and delete duplicate irecords? The records will be in the 20-50K range and growing.
I have two name/address lists in separate Excel workbooks. I need to merge and eliminate duplicates by name. One has single name field in format "Lastname, Firstname". The other has a single name field in "normal" format (First and last name). Ultimately I need to end up with two name fields, First and Last, and this I can do.
The problem is in identifying any possible duplicates between the two lists. Why? Because the first list will have names like "Smith, Robert" and occasionally maybe "Smith, Robert J.". The second list will have names like "Dr. Robert J. Smith Jr. PhD", as well as possibly "Robert Smith" or "Dr. Robert Smith".
Using Text-to-Columns will still require a lot of reworking, because the last name won't always be in the same column, depending on whether there's a Dr. or Mr. or middle initial and so forth.
I've looked into the LIKE( ) function which holds some scant hope, but I don't think it will happen for me either.
How I could compare "Robert Smith" to "Robert J. Smith" or "Dr. Robert Smith" or "Dr. Robert J. Smith Jr. Phd"? Imagine all names in column A.
I am attaching a file with an example of a spreadsheet that I am trying to sort out. In this example I have 3 samples (I could have many more). Each sample has 8 columns associated with it (N, M, I, F, S, MS, KM and KD). The length of the dataset is different for each sample. The MS column is the same as M but contains a few zeroes. What I am trying to do is:
1) generate one column (MSA) containing only unique values (no zeroes) from columns MS1, MS2 and MS3. The unique values should be selected within a specified tolerance (for example, 0.001, which makes 52.00706 from MS1 and 52.00701 from MS2 duplicate values although they are not exactly the same)
2) generate 3 columns ( named SS1, SS2 and SS3) with sorted columns S1, S2, and S3 so that for each value of MS in column MSA each of the three columns will list the corresponding value of S1, S2 and S3 (zero if there is no corresponding value)
I have a spreadsheet that contains overtime information for employees. Basically, it has a list of names in column A, and a list of projects in the first row, similar to this:
Name 100323 100887 100987 100987 Sum
[Code]....
At the top of the page I've inserted a section similar to this:
Name Project Number # Of Hours
SMITH, John 100883 5
Where the name and project number are drop down data validation lists containing all of the project numbers and employees at our facility, and the # of hours section is just a manual entry.
I require a macro that, upon clicking a button, will verify that the name is in the list and insert a row if there isn't as well as verify the project is in the row and insert a column it isn't.. then it will add the number of hours i specified in the box. It would also be nice if the list of names would sort alphabetically and the project numbers would sort numerically from left to right after any additions. As well as clear the selections and # of hours I entered in the second table shown above once everything has been entered in to the main (first) table.
I'm pretty new to creating my own macros (even though im an engineer.. )
I am trying to use the function Match into the Index function but as a Result I have nothing than N/A#, I would like to be sure that I'am using this function in a proper way
Each column represents a user and each row represents an application the user has. I would like to extract all the applications that are common to all the users and place it in an arbitrary column.
I do have a problem with my excel sheet. i have a workbook with 2 sheet which i need to compare a colume of data from sheet1 with sheet 2 colume M2. If it is matched, then sheet 2 colume BJ2 will return a "F" else "N" So i was thinking of using an If formulae: =IF(M2=sheet1!A2:A16),"F","N") but somehow the above text return a msg of "A16" is invalid. and i tried to used VLOOKUP by defining the mapping sheet as "KEY"
=VLOOKUP(M2,KEY,A2)
and i copy and paste the above formulae to the remaining column M for comparison. Somehow, this did not work as well.
I noticed there any plenty of examples of delete row if variable EXIST. But im after deleting rows if an array of string items DONT exist. EG. vList = Array("AWilson54", "ADavey99", "MPaterson44").
its for a varying size document and the column to search through is (AN). Does anyone already have something for this? as i mentioned before there are plenty of search hits on if a value exists but not the opposite.
Utilizing Excel 2009, I am trying to look for a solution that will allow me to compare a column which contains a list of filenames i.e. "832423.wav" to a directory which contains those files to see "832423.wav" is present in that directory such as "C:UsersBDocumentsAudio Files". If there is a match then the row is highlighted. Is that possible?
I need to build a formular in a cell that uses various columns in it's row such as: =A2+A4+A17+A24. In the past I've used simple number references to the columns (a is 1, b is 2,.....) I can't do tht though if I'm using a macro to automate the creation of a formula, right?
Is there a property I'm missing that will return the letter reference to the column instead of just the number as Activecell.column does?
My alternative is to write my own code to do this, but you know the bit about not reinventing the wheel....
I have the following code that enters data from a user form, the problem is that the textbox (Locker) data will not validate when entered into worksheet.
Private Sub cmdEdit_Click() Dim rownum As Integer rownum = 2 'Prompt user with message box asking for input in both text boxes If Me.txtNumber = vbNullString Then response = MsgBox("Please enter a Work Number", vbInformation) Me.txtNumber.SetFocus Else ' Insert the work no., driver, locker, keys issued & keys On hand ActiveCell = Me.txtNumber.Value ActiveCell. Offset(0, 1) = Me.txtLocker.Value ActiveCell.Offset(0, 2) = Me.txtIssued.Value ActiveCell.Offset(0, 3) = Me.txtOnHand.Value................
I have two columns, which have different length and in which there can be three types of data:
The data also in the first and the second column, so it is an old data.Second is, that the data is in the first column, but not in the second, so it is old, but it was solved.The third type is, when the data is in the second column, but not iin the first, so it is new data.
My task is to regularly update the list (so I have to merge the new and old columns), to see in which conditions the data is, but not to delete any of them (only the recurring, so if it is old, then it must not be listed two times).
I have a need to get the data from columns A and B and transfer to C but one line from A and second line from B and this successively until the end of A and B. They will have the same number of lines.
