Output Data From Multiple Columns / Remove Duplicates
Apr 4, 2013
This is a very SMALL sample of the data I need to sort through. We have been using filters but the data is growning and becoming far too time consuming using the filter method.
The output I am looking to achieve is something like this, (any format is fine; whether in rows or columns)
SVR1
1.99.99.254
(2) CAT I (display how many CAT I for SVR1)
CAT I: 2011-B-44
CAT I: ST-5546
(2) CAT II (display how many CAT II for SVR1)
CAT II: 2011-B-52
CAT II: 2011-A-21
SVR2
2.5.2.333
(1) CAT I
CAT I: 2012-E-55
(1) CAT II
CAT II: 2011-A-21
COLUMN A, varies from SVR1-SVR1400 (cointains duplicates)
COLUMN B, IP matches SVR name (contains duplicates)
COLUMN C, will be either CAT I, CAT II, CATIII
COLUMN D, will contain duplicates
I have some history of using formulas and nested formulas but this one is really throwing me for a loop. It feels like Inception to me and I'm not really sure where to start!
I have searched the many forum solutions for duplicates however the ones I found relate to a single column. However what I would like to be able to do is starting from row 6 is to remove duplicates of multiples columns of a single worksheet, namely columns M, O, P, Q and R. Note some cells in each column are blank.
To clarify - it would firstly check for duplicates in column M, keeping just one of the rows of the duplicated value and removing entiely the row/rows of where the duplications appeared. Then go through each of the other four columns. of the worksheet doing the same for each of the other four columns.
Then after the duplicates are removed from all five columns provide a tally at the bottom of the worksheet of how many times a value now appears in the cells of each of repective columns.
I am trying to tell the spreadsheet that if column G *and* column V are both identical to another row's column G and V, then the entire row is a duplicate and to highlight and delete it. I also want to record a macro of this process to apply to all spreadsheets.
Here are the tutorials I am looking at, but whatever I am doing is not working the way it is working for them.
Conditional Formatting, find duplicates with multiple columns [URL]...
I am highlighting cell A2, and under Conditional Formatting, I select "Formula Is" =SUM(COUNTIF($G:$G,G2),COUNTIF($V:$V,G2))>1
Then I select the format as light orange text, but it is only highlighting A2....
That is as far as I have gotten, and I still do not know how to go about deleting the duplicate entries. I have also read there are issues with recording a macro when trying to find duplicates using more than one column in the formula, but I have not gotten that far so I can't test it.
As is likely evident in my formula and process, I am not very experienced with Excel.
I need to check, if in A1:BU1 are any duplicate words. All the formulas I found deal with finding duplicates downward (like A1:A1000). Have not seen any formula which works across (from left to right)
Is there an easy way in Excel 2010 either to tag/ and -or remove the duplicate which I could apply and then just copy downward? The formula must work from left to right, because many words repeat downward.
I have been working on a little vba project and have almost got there with help from others, but the final part needs to have a tally a number of columns and and produce the tally results to a new worksheets - the code that need proof reading /reviewing is below - it is not working correctly as it is not tallying correctly and at times seems to miss counting the last row - so could you review and suggest or make required changes so that it will work on the attached test file.
WHAT IS NEEDED IS;
1. Column D contains names -strings which are repeated such Fred Flintstone so for Fred and others would like to have a summary tally of how many times each worker has instances of a value appearing in columns I, J, K, L and P, R ,S, T and U.
With the output summary worksheet called "WORKER TALLY" and having the headings for each columns tallied from row 5 being headings for each column tally see attached example.
2. Then do same again for Column E - Names so for example the name Peter Pan and others would like to have a summary tally of how many each worker has instances of a value appearing in columns I, J, K, L and P, R ,S, T and U. With the output summary worksheet called "Names" and having the headings for each columns tallied from row 5 being headings for each column tally see attached example.
Sub workertally() Dim b() As Variant Dim NewWs As Worksheet Dim j As Integer, i As Integer Dim a As Range, v As Range, r As Range, c As Range j = 1 Set a = Range("E6", Range("E" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)) Set c = Range("E5", Cells(5, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft)) With CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary") .CompareMode = vbTextCompare
I'm running a football competition for my business where customers are required to guess World Cup football scores via Facebook. I'm storing all their entries in a spreadsheet.
In the spreadsheet column a is their name, b is the match (e.g. England v Italy), c is the home tame (England), d is the score (1-1), e is the away team (Italy)
Across from, that I have the actual fixtures taking place at the World Cup. So column I is the date, K is the home team (England), L is the actual score (2-0) and M is the away team (Italy)
What I need is a formula that when I enter the result on a game into the right set of columns (Columns I:M) it will highlight those Columns (Columns C:E) that have entered that correct score.
It needs to compare 3 columns and not just one because for example if it highlights the score (1:1 for example) it could be highlighting someone who picked Spain v Holland 1:1 where the correct result would be someone who picked England v Italy 1:1.
My spreadsheet has multiple "sessions" by date and each has three columns: a name, their organization, and a column where we want to display an "R" if they are a repeat participant. Each new session is entered to the right of the last. The names are in every third column. Like so:
name company R name company name company name company R
Is it possible to search through the whole document to find repeating names, and then display an "R" in every third column if they are a repeat participant?
Columns A, B, and C have data (first name, last name, state) - 125k rows. Columns F, G, and H have data (first name, last name, state) - 5k rows. Some of these individuals are bound to appear on both lists, and I need to know which ones are indeed on both lists. So in other words, let's say I've got "John" "Doe" "TX" in cells F1, G1, and H1, respectively. I want to search through columns A, B, and C to find out if there are any instances in those columns of "John" "Doe" "TX" in the same row.
I'm thinking there will be multiple VLOOKUP formulas involved, but I could be way off.
I need excel to check to see if the data I input into column B is an exact match to the data in column A.
If it is an exact match, then column B will remain blank.
If the data in column B is different, I need column B to show the following:
No match: <data>
Example I input in column B the following:
Column A Column B 1. Car Car 2. 4357 9999 3. fsd34d 4erd 4. 98dkf 98dkf
Spreadsheet should show: Column A Column B 1. Car 2. 4357 No match: 9999 3. fsd34d No match: 4erd 4. 98dkf
(Cell 1 and 4 in column B are empty because they are exact matches to Column A cell 1 and 4)
My questions: 1) How does the excel formula need to be written for this to work?
2) Is there a way to set it so that when I do a mass copy to data into column B that the formula will not be overwritten and it will still check to see if the data I copy and pasted into that column matches the data next to it in column A?
I have an excel worksheet which is having duplicate values in multiple columns, i want to remove those duplicates and should return unique values... how can i do that... My Excel Sheet looks below....
I want to count column B for all "West" (column A) and I don't want duplicates. So it would count two unique characters for West and two unique characters for South. I want "west" and "south" separated.
I have an excel program that reads a file and prints it to the work sheet, but I can't figure out why it puts quotation marks around the line of text. I would like to remove the quotation marks from column A and column D.
I have four columns of data (in column B) across 4 worksheets within the same workbook. The rows in this columns contain text. In some cases the text in various rows of each columns are identical, and in other cases they are unique. There is a percentage in column C for each text in column B.
What I'm trying to do is as follows:
Create a consolidated list of all four columns into a single column (say column A in a separate sheet). Therefore, each row in this consolidated column will have a unique text based value.
Have the percentage value for each unique text based entry in column B of the separate sheet. if the text based contents in the column A row is one of those that had the same entry in the original four columns, then the average of the percentages will appear in column B.
searching between 2 columns (A:B) and finding duplicate emails using some type of formatting that will highlight duplicate emails?
For example? A B me@yahoo.comsmelly@yahoo.comegg@msn.comspazz@guno.comdupada@hotmail.comhope@aol.comokay@gmail.comhelp@popp.comhope@aol.comfunky@chicken.com check@team.com hope@aol.com
I am using MS Excel 2007 and not very experienced, but this is for a marketing golf tournament my company is hosting.
Using the following code to remove empty rows based on whether a specific range of columns is empty. The code works if the cell has a zero, but not when the cell is blank. An example of the data is attached.
VB: Public Sub DelRows2() Dim Cel As Range, searchStr, FirstCell As String Dim searchRange As Range, DeleteRange As Range
D E I J Account1 Sum1 Account2 Sum2 151 93,79 BF2479 30,00 1476757 93,79 BF7 22,00 BF2479 30,00 151 93,79 86041 84,03 23235 30,00 534 6608,45
2. I need to clean the multiple identical data in the list by both Account no. and Sum (of course the list is much longer!) so that the list should look like this:
D E I J Account1 Sum1 Account2 Sum2
1476757 93,79 BF7 22,00
86041 84,03 23235 30,00 534 6608,45
I must say that I am a beginner in Excel, so I tried to use this:
(which is reverse of the first one) for column J; (The ranges are the ones used in the real sheet), not for the ones in the example above!); The formula does seem to eliminate a dew unwanted data, but does not give me all the wanted results!
Is it possible to scan through column A for duplicates if found delete the row that has not got any data in either column D E or F? If Duplicates are found and neither have any data in D E or F Delete all but one of the duplicates.
I have a sheet that looks like this. JOE D.02082008/28/199 H PAnnual Increase06/05/2006 JOE D.02082008/28/1995 H PReclassification06/11/2007 JOE D.02082008/28/1995 H PReclassification02/11/2008
The name is in Column F the employee Number is the 020820 and we want to only have the latest date in the last column.
So out of this data above. The bottom one with the 2/11/2008 is the one we want to keep. And delete those other 2.
The next group has duplicate names 10 of them. But only want to keep the most recent.
I have a spresdsheet with a few tousand rows that is updated daily. My objective is to remove duplicates from colum C keeping always the most recent (date on colum B). Sometimes collum C will have blank cells and the rows of said blank cells can't be deleted.
This worked wonderfully until a duplicate crept in to Column B. Now there is the potential for many more duplicates. Column B holds an 8 digit numerical number. I am just struggling to add in a parameter that ignores any duplicates that have been added
