Merging Two Columns Of Information
Jul 16, 2009
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.

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 have 2 books right now. Each book has 2 colums of data (See attached jpg.):
Book 1 has a column for "phone number" and another for "street"
Book 2 has a column for "phone number" and another for "house number"
I would like to merge these books together so that all the information I have about these contacts is in the same book. Column A will be the phone numbers, column B will be the street name, and column C will be the house number. As you can see by looking at book 2, I only have house numbers for some of the phone numbers in book 1. My goal here is to have book 2 "look at" book 1, and add any information book 1 does not have (such as house number) to the relevant row (the row where the phone numbers match). This new book will by my book 3. I've attached a jpg. with how book 1 looks, book 2 looks, and how I want book 3 to look.

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'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!

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'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 2 workbooks (workbook1 & workbook2). Information in column A and column N must match both workbooks per row/ cell (ie. if A2 and N2 in workbook1 match workbook2, copy information from 3 other columns (S, T, U from from workbook1 into workbook2 - cells S2, T2, U2). Workbook2 may have information in column S, T, U, but I need to over-write it with the information from workbook1. If the information does not match per that row/cell (ie. A2 in both worksheets are the same, but N2, they are not, so go to the next line that does match and copy the information into worksheet2). I do not want to use a V- lookup for this problem. I really need a marco.

I am unsure if this was answered already but I am having a lot of trouble. I am trying to find out if it is possible to count the number of entries in one column if it meets criteria in another comlumn?
Here is my problem: I work for a contractor and I am trying to find out the number of contracts sold(column J) by Mike (Column K). I have tried =COUNTIFS functions but these dont work. I know if I create 4 other columns with IF functions I can get the information but I have to imagine there is another way.

I have a list of 2500 companies. In each cell there is the company name, street address, and phone number. And of course, each one is of varying length. I need a way to put the company name, street address, and phone numbers in seperate columns. I tried going to text to columns but it wouldn't work due to the varying lengths.

I have a list of names with blank cells in Column A cell 2.
I want the programme to scroll through this column until it finds a name, when it does I want it to look in cell offset(1, 1), in this case B3 to see if there is a number. I want this number to be moved to offset (0, 1) AND any subsequent numbers below it until the next blank cell in that column (B).
In the attached image cell B2 will contain all numbers in cells B3:B9 with a / between them. Cell B10 will have number from B11 and B12 will have B13:B15. If there is no number it will just continue to the next name in column A. My rough code below delivered the first number only in the relevant cell and I'm not clever enough to get it right. It does not have to be super slick as it's for one time use.
I need numbers in column B cleared as they are concatenated into the single cell.

Ok this is what I need to do:
I have worksheet A with cell AC2 to enter a team id# like 51922 for example. In Cell B3 I want it search sheet11 for the team name according to the number and put the team name in B3. Sheet11 has 11 columns the first one list the 613 team names, the remaining columns have #'s like the example giving for the teams. What formula would I need to perform this function?
This is a football game the other 10 columns represents 10 worlds with identical 613 teams to control in each world, but the teams have different #'s to identify the world, team, and coach.

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 having a problem filtering information within mulitple columns. I do not understand how the advanced search works either, so let me try to explain what is going on. I would post a pic of the table to make it easier to understand if I knew how to.I have thousands of rows in Column A with information, for this scenario a number. Thing is that all these numbers are seperated by many blank rows.
Ex: Row 1 has a number, Rows 2-10 are blank, Row 11 has a number, Rows 12-24 are blank, etc. Over in Column C, for every row that has a number in Column A, there is a corresponding number in Column C followed by Rows of numbers. ex: Row 1 Column A has corresponding information in Rows 1-10 of Column C.If this is clear, understand that this repeats for tens of thousands of lines. When I am looking for a specific number in Column A, I do a filter for just that number.
When that happens, it only brings up the info from that same row in Column C. I need the filter to bring up all ten rows of info in Column C that correlate to the row I filtered in Column A. I know the easiest way is to label all the rows in column A with the same number, but the reason the blanks are in place is so it is easier to read the breaks between the different information.

I have data that I copy from one sheet and move it to another. If I know I'm parsing data that may vary in amount of line items but will always be across 3 columns is there a way to parse this data evenly.
for example:
I would like to look in column "D" and if there is an "A" I would like to parse cells A,B,C in that row to sheet 2 and parse this information evenly across 3 columns evenly across columns "A,E, I"
In my example the data is only 21 rows of information the problem I have is evenly parsing this information.

I am trying to sort/filter the information by columns but I need the information in each row to stay together for instance...
1 2 3 4 5
2 3 4 5 1
3 4 5 1 2
4 5 1 2 3
5 1 2 3 4
I need to sort the numbers in column 3 in ascending order or filter them but i need the entire row to move when sorted so it needs to look like this
4 5 1 2 3
5 1 2 3 4
1 2 3 4 5
2 3 4 5 1
3 4 5 1 2
I am using the list function to sort and filter the data in the columns but when i try to sort them in ascending order i get....
1 2 1 4 5
2 3 2 5 1
3 4 3 1 2
4 5 4 2 3
5 1 5 3 4
I don't know how to write formulas or VBA's or anything but am willing to try.
Is it possible to sort the data and get a result like the second set of data? and is there an easy way to make this fool proof so people that use the spreadsheet will not mess up the data?

I have a 5 row list in WA2. Each row holds its data across 3 columns i.e A1description, B1 product code, C1 unit cost. In WA1 I want to have a drop down table in cell B3 that looks at this range and then populates this information into B3, C3 and C4. I have tried data validation but it keeps telling me that it can only look at a single row or single column

I have a feeling the answer to this will be 'no' based on the searching I've done, but is it possible to allow formatting of rows/columns on a protected worksheet, yet prevent the user from unhiding some rows/columns I don't want them to see? I've allowed them to format rows/columns so they can "size" them to fit the text they enter, but that has opened up the ability for them to unhide columns. Using Shrink To Fit would be cumbersome due to the number of cells involved.
