I have a spreadsheet that grows rapidly each day of addresses I service. Duplicates are not welcome. When the spreadsheet was smaller, I would type in an address and if it was a duplicate, Excel would auto fill the cell with the duplicate data. Now that the rows are over 2000, I wanted to see if this primitive method for weeding out duplicates was still working, however when I type the first address I have in cell A1, it does not auto fill in A2001, even though it is a duplicate.
Is there any way to have on-the-spot detection of duplicates sans macro?
I have built up quite a few macros for automating functions in some spreadsheets, and I want to start being able to detect when errors occur. Right now I just have the function or sub terminate itself if an error occurs, but that just returns control to the calling sub/function.
I need a way to detect if an error occurs, and immedatly terminate the whole process so that it does not continue and make eronious changes further down the line.
I had thought of declaring a pubic boolean variable that i could flip if an error occurs, but I am not sure how to detect this flip without programing in an if statement every time i call a function.
Question1: Is there a way to write a function/sub that will automaticly triger if a public variable becomes a certain value?
Question2: How do I unload a macro (terminate it) from a public function? I have found that for user forms, the Unload Me command does not work in a public function. I suspect this is becasue the function is not directly attached to a form.
i have a workbook system that is used on 25 standalone machines that all have different printers everytime i install on a new system i have to reconfigure all of the printers that i have set up in VBA i am curious to find out as to whether or not there is a macro i can use that will generate a list of all printers on a machine that i can then use to refrence a printer name in my VBA
The code in the file works but, I wonder if you could comment and suggest an improvement to the code in the attached file. With the generous help of good folks on this site, I have developed a code to use in my workbook (a sample is attached). Before I use it I would like to be sure that it will not generate any errors.
I have an array and I need to be able to detect when a varying number of consecutive array elements are equal. I want to be able to call the code and give the number of elements I need to find.
The following does not work but illustrate what I am looking for.

I have been looking at ways of recording the number of equalities in the p loop, but I am sure there is a more elegant way.
I have an excel sheet with about 500 words in 500 cells that I have generated automatically. Separately I have a 'blacklist' of words I have compiled manually that I don't want to appear in the excel list.
How do I ensure that any 'blacklisted' word is deleted from the excel files. Is there any other way than doing it manually?
I've a list (Taken from this website; [URL] of 4900 rows with each row have 4 numbers if I want to add or insert one number( from 1 to 50 ) to each row with no duplicate to make it 5 numbers in each row? Is there a formula or Vb code to do this?
To my calculation Numbers (1:50) have to be use 98 times;(50*98=4900) since each numbers in the list used 392 times(392/ 49 = 8)since there is no duplication when adding numbers (1:50) to rows each numbers must pair with evry other number in that list 8 times.at the moment with out adding the 5th number each number pairs with any other number exactly 24 times but adding process finish it should be 32 (24+8).
I made a macro that will name the current sheet whatever text is found in cell B2 on that sheet. This works great unless that sheet name already exists.
If the sheet name already exists, is there a way to rename it as Cell B2 plus the number 2 after the title so it doesn't cause an error?
Example:
"Smith, Bob" is a sheet name, so the macro would make the new sheet name "Smith, Bob 2"
Alternatively, how could I give a pop-up telling about the error and deleting the current sheet instead of renaming it with a "2"?
Eample:
"Sorry, 'Smith, Bob' already exists. Deleting new sheet." as a popup and have it delete the current sheet.
I have two sheets, which has data in columns A-J (10) on both sheets and but (sheet2) will have more data records than (Sheet1). I would like to be able to run a vba macro, which can find duplicate rows between the two sheets, by matching up only 8 columns, excluding column's E and G between the two sheets and showing the output duplicates in both sheets in green highlight.
I have attached my sample data for further reference. [URL] .....
The sample file, shows data in sheet1 and sheet2, and the desired output should be sheet1 and sheet2, highlighting (2,3,4,5,6,7,9,19,11,13) rows green in both sheets.
I'm using excel 2007 and windows vista. I have 2 cells, A1 contains (01,) and B1 contains (01, 08). I want the result in cell C1 to be (01, 08) by calling function trim_sort($A1&$B1). The code gives me an error "invalid qualifier" for s.length & more.
I have a worksheet which J3:NJ3 lists the dates for the calendar year. (Example - J3 = 1/1 , K3 = 1/2 , etc. )
A3:C3 are my headers for project information (project name, manager,etc)
In D3 I will be entering employee names. in E3 I will be entering Project start dates, and in H3 will be end dates. These dates are selected via validation lists of the dates listed in J3:NJ3, and it is set to auto fill the adjacent date range with an "X" after the start and end dates have been selected.
Now I also have another worksheet which is a pivot table that will auto update upon any workbook change, and will show each employee and all of the dates in which they are scheduled to work. I am using conditional formatting on this sheet to highlight any dates that the selected employee is double booked on two or more projects.
I want to keep this second worksheet as is, but to avoid having to flip flop back and forth between tabs to find out of someone is double booked, I would like to add a column (I) which will either say "Available" or "Double Booked" . Is there a formula that I can use for this? I thought about Vlookup, but I don't believe I know of a way to write a Vlookup formula that can check a dynamic range of entered dates. I thought perhaps a nested Vlookup/Hlookup, but not quite sure if that will work either.
each month i have to clens a sheet that shows customer name and then the figures per month.
this is pulled from a system that allows for a new entry each time a variation on customer name is used, I.E
Joe Blogs LTD Joe Blogs Limited Joe Blogs ltd.
would all come through as new entries. then i have to manually consolidate the figures from each month. the spreadsheet has over 5000 rows, and maybe only 15% are duplicated. what i want is to be able to select the column (that will be sorted a-z) and highlight cells that have a match for the first 4 or 5 charicters.
once i have identified duplicates i then have to merge the data into one row. is there an easy way to do this? it is monthly, comparing 2008 and 2009, so by december there will be 24 columns + the company name that need to be clensed.
How do I compare 2 columns and then flag where there is duplication? I want to compare Column B against column C and then flag everywhere there is a match. In this case, Column B may have several thousands of entries (inclusive off all entries found in Column C) and I want to have Excel look through the thousands of entries in Column B and then just place an "x" where there was a match to the values found In Column C. For example:
A B C D E F (B+C-D-E) Date Opening Stock Purchase Sales Consumption Closing Stock 17/7/2012 10000 5000 1000 2000 12000 17/7/2012 12000 2000 2000 1000 11000 18/7/2012 11000 0 1000 5000 5000 18/7/2012 5000 10000 3000 0 12000
Note : I want the above result as shown below datewise but no duplication of date but summing up of column C,D and E which is in above.Pls note that this is accounting question and also plz note that Opening stock(column B) from next date onwards must be equal to previous date closing stock(Column F).
Results :
A B C D E F (B+C-D-E) Date Opening Stock Purchase Sales Consumption Closing Stock 17/7/2012 10000 7000 3000 3000 11000 18/7/2012 11000 10000 4000 5000 12000 (B=F)
if I could get the formula in excel ,since this is the sample data as I do have a numerous & huge data like shown above datewise where I need to add C ,D and E but Opening stock(column B) from next date onwards must be equal to previous date closing stock(Column F).
Background: I have 3 lists. List 1 is a column of unique identifiers. List 2 is a column of unique identifiers. List three is supposed to contain as many rows as the number of rows in List 1 * the number of rows in List 2. Each row in List three has as its unique identifier a value from List 1 concatenated with a value from List 2.
What my problem is: I want to determine, when looking at each row in list 1, if there is an corresponding entry in list 3 for every row in list 2.
