Parse Multiple Files For Matching Records.
Jun 16, 2006
I need to use a macro to import data from an unknown # of order files to my master spreadsheet. My master spreadsheet & my order files contain a unique po number that can be used to find matching records. When the macro is ran & a match is found it needs to import the all data that to the master spreadsheet & updated the "processed" column for the record found. Also, all the lines in the unprocessed order files should be matched up. If a record is not matched, a warning needs to be displayed. If the record has already been processed, it just needs to be skipped. Attached is an example master spreadsheet & an example unprocessed orders spreadsheet. If at all possible, please split the unprocessed orders into separate files when testing the final product. The part that I will struggle with the most is looping thru separate files.

I am trying to determine a way to quickly import data from text files into Excel and place data in suitable columns (under correct headings). I am thinking I could be asked which file to read and import doing them 1 by 1, or if there is an automated way to cycle through all the files that would be more efficient (filenames are variable).
From the text files I have attached I can tell the column headers and what data should go under each. Not sure how you would describe the delimiting on these files? Are these files in a format that VBA could be used to reduce manual copy and paste approach? I have about 300 of these files I want to extract the data from.
Note: the attached files are from a public access website.

This is a sample of the data with which I am working. I know that a macro can do what I need, but I am only versed in Excel formulas and not that much programming. I need to be able to first sort the data by Column C ("Element Type"), then by Columns E, F, G ("Year", "Month", "Day"). Then, I need to be able to copy all rows that have the same "Element Type" and "Year" to a new file, using the same header from the original spreadsheet on each new spreadsheet - doing this multiple times until the end of the file is reached.
Ideally, the new files would have a strict naming convention: XXXXXX-ZZZZ (YYYY).xls, where the X's are the value of the "COOP Station ID" in Column A, the Z's are the "Element Type" from Column C, and the Y's are the "Year" from Column E. If this theoretical macro were run with the Sample Data file I provided, it should result in the creation of five new workbooks. Is there a way to write a macro to do this, or at least something similar

I need to find if there are matching addresses in 2 different excel files. If the same address appears in both files, I would like the new worksheet to return the address along with the sale price from the 1 file and the rental amount from the other file.
I have tried using vlookup but the problem is the exported data file contains the street number in one column and the street name on another column. I have attached a truncated example of both the rental data and the residential sales data.

I have a range of columns i.e. 23 columns (i.e. B through X). Someone can write records in these columns (starting from B21).
Duplicates are considered the rows with similar data in columns 3 and 11. I know about the removeduplicate method and works really well but i want the duplicates not to be removed. Instead another column shall be checked for date of entry (user will entry date in format dd/mm/yyyy). The newest entry will change the value of the cell in column 4 (islatest column)to TRUE while all other records will be FALSE. This will work with the filtering of data on a pivot table on another worksheet.

I have 2 worksheets. Sheet 1 has in column B a single ID number in every cell, Sheet 2 in column A can have multiple numbers in a cell (e.g. "55517 / 55518 /55519" written in one cell.)
For every row in Sheet 1, I need to find the ID in Sheet 2 and add in column C in Sheet 2 the corresponding cell value found in column E on Sheet 1.
By doing this formula, when I am in Sheet 1, I can already find the row number in Sheet 2, if it exists.
=IF(ISERROR(MATCH("*"&B2&"*",Sheet2!A:A,0)),IF(ISERROR(MATCH(VALUE(B2),Sheet2!A:A,0)),"NONE",MATCH(VALUE(B2),Sheet2!A:A,0)),MATCH("*"&B2&"*",Sheet2!A:A,0))
I suppose I can then move to the destination cell by using OFFSET.
This is all I have been able to figure out conceptually.
I think it makes more sense for this to be in VBA. Especially the 'writing part' I don't know how to do. After the OFFSET part, how do you tell Excel to write something to that cell?
Because several IDs from Sheet 1 can occur in Sheet 2, it would have to add like REPLACE at the end (ie. len(cell)) "+result", so they get summed if there are multiple finds.
I am also not sure the MATCH sentence above can be translated as a Macro, or whether it is even an efficient way.
And finally, it has to loop (repeat for every row in Sheet 1), which must require VBA.

Our school system is trying to clean up student records. They have a demographic worksheet of hundreds of records. Each student has a student ID number. We are trying to flag students whose ID numbers in 9th grade do not match an ID number for 10th grade. so we are left with only students who have matching ID numbers for both 9th and 10th grade. We are trying to find the right function(s) to make this work without VBA. I am attaching a small sample file

I have a list for example...
Ian
Andy
John
David
Ian
Andy
John
David
Max
I want to search or filter the list and find the only non matched record in the list and put this in another sheet ie max as this is the only unique name in the list, all the others are matched. Everything I have tried eg filter for unique records returns ian andy john david max, which is not what I want.

I have two worksheets each of which includes a left column of unique email addresses (at least, unique within each lsheet)
The data on each sheet is structured identically. What I want is to generate a list of records that appear on both sheets.

I have two tables, both contain a column of ID numbers and a column of addresses.
I would like a method to match the IDs from table1 to those of table2 - if no matches are found, search for matching addresses, if a match is found then output the ID in table1, the address, and the corresponding ID in table2.
If still no matches are found, output the ID and address from table1 and indicate that it didn't match.
Then I want to check table2 records - i.e. search for matching address between the records and output the table 1 ID, address and table2 ID were partial or no matches are found, as above.

I have this sheet, which is just an example (the actual one has many more records).
subset.xlsx
I received this sheet (again, example)...
new.xlsx
I need to add the new sheet to the old sheet, so that they are merged into one sheet. Also, if the same "LOC" appears in both sheets, I need to overwrite all the records for that "LOC" in the old sheet with the records from the new sheet.

I'd like to do is click the delete button and when clicked, it will search for matching records in column A & B and if they match... I'm thinking the code for that is <> but I'm not sure, then delete that record, and shift the cells up. Do this until the search results are empty below the delete button. Like I said, it's probably more understandable to look at the workbook.

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.

Specifically, I have customer sales data from my web site that contains order numbers and sales data. From Google analytics, I have transaction information that also contains the order number. The data element that is common to both is order number. I can't just paste columns from one file into the other because the records listed in rows may not match up.
I don't want to have to copy and paste data from one file to another for each record manually since I have thousands of records. Is there a way to merge the two files together automatically by having Excel "understand" that it should pair the two files together using the order number to create a row that contains data from both files?

VBA code (or formulas) that can parse data from individual cells into multiple columns? I have attached a file noting the current inputs in columns A-F and the desired outputs in columns I-O. Additionally, I have noted the distinguishing criteria for each of the fields in cells I13-O13. Also, I noticed that each of the data points in the input cells are separated by at least two spaces. Lastly, the input data in the working sheet goes from columns A-H and the desired outputs would start from column I; with row 1 having the headers.

I need to prepare a lot of data for upload from Excel to a system. Example, In cell A1: I have very long text that I need to parse into B1, C1, D1, etc, depending on the length as each cells can support up to 40 characters only.
It seems easy as I can just find the length of A1 and use mid to parse them to the rest of the cells. But the sales person wants the data to be readable, meaning that I can't just split the data simply based on the character limits.

I routinely have do download massive data sets of reporting that is saved as an excel spreadsheet. The three columns of sample data attached are Report Numbers, Report Evaluation Serial Numbers, and Report Evaluator ID.
As seen in the attached spreadsheet, there can be multiple Report Numbers (in same field separated by comma) which have been evaluated by different Evaluators. It is my responsibility to account for the number of Reports that have been evaluated, and many other metrics from like data. The issue I have is when more than one report number is listed in the same field I need to parse the data into its own field for ease of counting (and also maintain the adjacent data). It is not a problem to merely copy the fields and delete the excess numbers, however when dealing with thousands of Reports, and Evaluators this can be very time consuming. In the attached file I have separated .xls into three workbooks to help explain my problem: Initial state of Data; What I need To Parse Out; and The final endstate I require. I hope that I have explained this issue with enough detail. I am sure that the attached file will explain better.

I have on excel file like this :
SKU PRICE QUANTITY
1........25...........4
2.........41..........9
etc......etc........etc
The second one looks like this :
SKU UPC
0...786876
1...44777
etc...etc
While the first file contains about 300 active products the second one has a list of about 2000 active and deactivated products. What I need is to extract the UPC from the second file matching the active SKU from the first file so I have a final file that looks like this:
SKU UPC PRICE QUANTITY
1..44777...25.........4
and so on.

I had a VBA excel question. I have 2 excel files. Each file has a column on product SKUs. What I need is a VBA function that compares the 2 key columns and extracts the matching SKU and saves them in a 3rd excel file. That is the 3 file should contain only the SKUs that are in both of the 2 files.

Certification and Training tracking.xlsx
I want to create a certification only list on a separate tab of training that has been completed where a certification has been issued (as indicated by a "Y" in the "Certification?" column on the training tracking tab) and then populate from some of the fields vs. all of the fields.
What I have now, only pulls the first occurence, not all occurences. I saw that I could have identified the multiple columns that needed to be populated, but it didn't work either, so I'm fine putting a separate vlookup in each column.

how I can loop through folders to select files starting with a certain word and copy all of them to a different folder and rename them. The folder structure is given below
Company 1(parent folder)
North South East(sub folder) West(sub folder)
Jan Feb Mar.... Dec Jan Feb Mar.... Dec Jan Feb Mar.... Dec Jan Feb Mar.... Dec
In the above structure, the files are present inside each folders Jan, feb...Dec under the regions North, South East n west. note that I have to select files starting with "Sales" and copy them into a new folder(say results) and rename copied files as Sales1.xls, Sales2.xls etc. (Files are not present in the folder company1, north, south, east and east.)

I have to compare data in first sheet of two excel files and have to create a log file to display the logs of comparisons.
First workbook is placed in folder C:/Input/ with name as Input.xlsx and second workbook is placed in folder C:/Output/ with name as Output.xlsx.
I have to compare below cells between input.xlsx and output.xlsx.
Cell "B1" in input.xlsx , has to match with Cell "C4" in output.xlsxCell "B2" in input.xlsx , has to match with Cell "C5" in output.xlsx.
Cell "B3" in input.xlsx , has to match with Cell "C6" in output.xlsxCell "B4" in input.xlsx , has to match with Cell "C7" in output.xlsx.
Cell "B5" in input.xlsx , has to match with Cell "C10" in output.xlsxCell "B6" in input.xlsx , has to match with Cell "C9" in output.xlsx.
[Code] .......
After Comparing, I would like to log all the comparision in a log.csv, if cell "B1" in input file is matching "C4" in output file , say matching and color it green. If not matching, provide mismatch values from both cells and color it in red.
How we can compare 100's of excel files placed in Input and output folder and create one log file as stated above.

I have about 100 Excel files in one folder that need to be saved as text files. They can keep the same name, but simply need to be converted to text files. I'd like to use VBA for this and I can't find examples that do exactly that...or ones that my limited knowledge can handle.
Excel files exist in C:Source and ALL of them should be saved as text files in C:Destination. Maybe there is an easier way, but I thought for sure there was a routine I could use.
