Merging Two Columns And Keeping The Data From Both
Jul 26, 2006
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 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 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 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

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've been trying unsuccessfully to find a way to merge data into a matrix, but can't quite figure out a way to manage it. I have a list of employees in column A, in the list there are employees, many with multiple instances, and in columns C onwards there are dates in dd/mm/yyyy format.
Each line represents the number of nights in a trip, from 1 to 35 nights and the start to finish dates. Where as some employees may only have one row with one date others may have 20 rows with between 2 to 35 dates.
I'd like to merge this into a matrix with one line for each employee showing which nights in the year they were away (tab matrix) which has a day of the year to illustrate which employees were away on which nights of the year.
I've uploaded an example to highlight what I mean.
I've tried a pivot and an index match formula but couldn't get either to work.

Current Data:
File 1:
Each set of data is listed in either two or three rows
Eg.,
ID
Date
Filename
ID
Date
ID
Date
Filename
The goal is to move them to separate columns (rows can be 3 or 2 for each data set, and may or may not be separated by space/additional row)
File 2:
Has a common field 'ID' as that of File1, does not have Date, and Filename, but has a new field 'Detail' (already in the expected format)
Eg.
ID Detail
The goal is to merge properly formatted data from File 1 to File 2
Eg
ID Date Filename Detail

I have data in excel that has some information the same with a unique field. See below:
Last Name
First Name
ID
Date
Address
Apt #
Acct #
Code 1
[code]...
I want it to consolidate all of the like information but add on the codes in separate columns like this:
Last Name
First Name
ID
Date
Address
Apt #
Acct #
Code 1
Code 2
Code 3
Code 4
[code]...
Also, sometimes the same code is used multiple times but i want any duplicate codes to show as separate codes.

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 a spreadsheet that I can modify. It currently has a three product column but I need to insert 2 or 3 more columns to make 5 plus the total at the end. It also have a summary sheet. I insert the 2 columns and somehow got the formulas flowing. However when I hit the summary page its not showing results for those two new columns in the total. I am lost. I wish I could post the sheet. Its a multiple product break-even analysis exercise.

using code to take raw data from one workbook <book1> tab <Phase1RawData> and pasting to summary workbook <book2> onto <SummarySheet>. New data is available with each Phase (14 in all) and will eventually fill all cells as indicated in the Summary Sheet Page. However raw data has in any one Phase only the columns up to the Phase its currently at. So Phase 1 will only have Phase 1 column, Phase two will have columns for Phase 1 and 2, Phase 3 will have 1,2,3 and so on (the example Book1 has two example sheets for phase 1 and phase 2 data - so each phase has a column added with the previous columns remaining.)
The problem is in having the summary sheet always show all 14 phases colmns (as in the example attached) irrespective of which Phase is being updated. So if up to Phase 3, insert the raw data available will be colmns for Phase 1, 2 and 3 - but I need ensure after that has been updated only the remaining Phase colums to 14 show. That is, if Phase 1, 2 or 3 etc are now in place, insert the remaining blank Phase columns to, and including Phase 14. Need to do this at end of each phase until 14 is met. The data up to column S is all from the raw data original sheet - Items from Column T I insert independantly as the data is transferred.

ive got columns of dates that i want to aggregate up into a single column of distinct dates. the dates columns are of varying length, some with gaps in the middle of the column, and some columns are blank. dates in teh columns may duplicate, but i only want distinct dates copied in the single column.
i cant do this by hand because there are dates in around 200 columns so i need a macro or way to do this quickly. ive attached a picture to explain the problem.

I have two very long columns of client names. The columns represent reports that were run at different times on the same information.
What I want to do is merge the two clomuns. The issue is that there are many names that are the same but some that are different. Is there a way that you can merge the info. So it ignores the client names that are the same but auto adds the ones that are new. There are financials in other columns that I want to have come along during the merger.

With that said, I want to put the row number of a user in (I have a few thousand on this spreadsheet, and all the = data be automatically pulled based on the row number I put in cell B1. So I'm hoping to write in cell B1 the following - "143" (without the quotes), and the remaining cells in column B automatically pull that data based on that, so it would look like the following
Row #
143
Name:

How do I write the functions to keep the columns the same, but change the row number based on the number I input?

I'm looking for a way to put data into 1 column from 2 different columns, alternating every other row.
The data looks like this:
A B C
1 2
3 4
5 6
And I want C to look like this:
C
1
2
3
4
5
6
I don't necessarily need to keep the data in columns A and B, as long as C follows this format.
Excellent, just what I was looking for. I couldn't get the UDF working right, I'll try messing around with it, but the Index solution works great!

I work in a medical facility, and I need to track data I've entered representing patient visits indefinitely over time. I've attached a weekly grid to this thread that I use to record which patients have had visits during the course of the week. It sums their total visits on the right. I need to continually track these because every patient gets an insurance-mandated progress update after 10 visits. Unfortunately, they don't always show up, and the most I can possibly keep track of is two weeks, max, and most patients only get two visits per week. Is there a way to dump these sums into another column indefinitely?

I have two excel sheets in the same workbook. I've linked column B2 in Sheet1 with column A1 in Sheet2. It works great!
The only problem is that when I add a row in Sheet1, it appears in Sheet2, but the rest of the data on that sheet doesn't move alongside the rest of the rows. So if Sheet2 looks like this:
Abby 16
Amy 15
Jenna 14
And I add in another name in Sheet1, lets say Ben, then Sheet2 will look like this.
Abby 16
Amy 15
Ben 14
Jenna
when I want all my data to stick together.

I have a spreadsheet that I have various formulas and sheets. To simplify:
Sheet 1: Columns A & B have Name and Code Number. I can add additional names and code numbers to these two columns whenever necessary.
Example:
Tom 874
John 385
David 712
Hidden in adjoining columns are formulas to automatically sort them via Code Number. Next to that are the columns showing the sorted information, sorted by number.
John 385
David 712
Tom 874
Additionally, I have a seperate sheet for Tom, John & David. Since I put Tom in first, he's Sheet 2. John is Sheet 3, and David is Sheet 4. I can use hyperlinks so when I click on John, it goes to Sheet 3; David Sheet 4; Tom Sheet 2.
Now, let's say I add Kevin 192 to the next row. The hidden columns are set up so that it'll automatically resort Kevin to the top, with John, David & Tom in the next rows down.
The issue I have with the hyperlink is that it's cell specific, not content specific, as far as I know. I would like the hyperlink to move with John's info so that it would still go to Sheet 3. Same with David and Tom. Unfortunately, after the resort, If I clicked on Kevin's name (which is now at the top of the list), it would go to John's sheet, since the hyperlink is attached to that cell.
How to allow a hyperlink to remain with the content, versus the cell? I would prefer it to be not a macro, but I'll take a macro over nothing!

I have a piece of code that runs through various excel files and takes the data (minus the header) and pastes that into a separate workbook. The piece of code that does the actual copying i think is this (i have used code from the msdn website)
Code:
With sourceRange
Set destrange = destrange. _
Resize(.Rows.Count, .Columns.Count)
End With
destrange.Value = sourceRange.Value
I have tried replacing the sourceRange.Value with sourceRange.Text however when i do that it will copy nothing any more.

I am trying to rank a series of data. I have most of this figured out. However, the data that is being ranked is based on a sum of a range of cells. I have lines that are waiting for new information to be put in related to the values to be ranked and the value is reference a sum of blank cells currently since there is no data there and it is showing up as zero and therefore being ranked number 1 in my list. I basically want the ranking to rank the values 1-11 while putting all values that are zero to be put at the bottom of the ranking. Any way to do this without macros. I have been using the VLOOKUP and RANK functions for my ranking purposes.
I have tried using an if statement that made the cells #N/A if they were zero, however they remained at the top of my ranking.
