Reconciling Two Databases - Possible To Merge Rows Of Data?
Mar 13, 2013
I have a dataset from Oracle that includes a study patient ID, study visit that a UC sample was collected at, date the sample was collected, and sample type. I also have a dataset from Quest, where the UC samples are sent to for testing, that contains similar information.
I need to reconcile this data, making sure that patient IDs, study visits and collection dates all match up with out using just vlookups and having to check the reverse of each (vlookup Quest into RDC, then vlookup RDC into Quest) and I've been wracking my brain trying to figure out VBA code to get my data from Oracle (orange header) to merge with Quest (blue header) and merge on Subject ID and Visit Name only.
In exhibit C, this is what ideally I would like to see as a result, data points from both are reported, but if Oracle subject id = Quest subject ID and Oracle Visit Name = Quest Visit Name, they are reported in the same row. I can then just run a simple formula to compare the collection dates and also identify discrepancies between visits (example: exhibit C, rows 10 and 11, these two UC samples look like they should reconcile because the collection date is actually the same for both, however either the study site or Quest is reporting the wrong study visit name).
I need a little coaching on big data. I have two reports, one from a production system the other from the invoicing system. I need to reconcile the two reports to ensure our invoicing ties out to production. At this time I am focusing on 1 particular item code, but there are potentially hundreds of item codes.
I have 1 Item Code. I have a around a hundred invoices. (Sample 100) I have a few hundred different customers. (Sample 100) I have several hundred lines of billing data. (Sample 650) I have several thousand lines of production data. (Sample 40,000) In the billing system, per invoice I might have 1 or more billing lines for this item, usually no more than 2. In the production system, per invoice I might have 5 to 50 or more production lines for this item per invoice.
Example Prod System: 30 lines of data has a run amount and a total run amount for each line.
I am looking for tools to reconcile this data. VLookup and Index/Matching is not cutting it. VLOOKUP does not move beyond the first line found. Index/Matching wants to add all the prod together. I can get subtotals easy enough. I have tried Concatenation, but when it takes multiple production data lines to equal 1 billing line, this does not work. I needs some thing that can look at the Qty on a billing invoice and tie it out to various lines of production data to identify which production jobs went on that line of the invoice.
Here is a sample. These are fairly easy to resolve, but others are not so easy due to number of production and billing rows.
Invoice number Billing item Est. Quantity Actual quantity Billable Qty Sales order Position number Sequence Agreement Billing source Description Total Billable Qty
I have a set of data which I would like to do some processing on. Basically I am concerned with two columns
Column 12 and Column 9
Column 12 is a unique account Reference and column 9 is an invoice number. My scenario is that 1 account can have multiple invoices. I want to do is serach down column 12 and find all the matches and then I want to take column 9 and combine the data within that with the previous record.
Original Data Column 9 Column 12 2345 A0001 2312 A0001 2341 A1200 1234 A0001 4569 A1234 3456 A1234
I know how to merge data in a CSV (see attachment) from 2 columns into a single cell using =A1&" | "&B2 so that A1 (Safety Products) plus B1 (Fire Protection) becomes Safety Products | Fire Protection in cell C1, but how can I do this across multiple rows so that each pair of names is combined in each row? The job I'm working with is a product CSV file that has 6370 lines so I don't want to do them one line at a time!
Column A______Column B_____Column C 100/12__________B___________$ 100/12______________________@ 100/12______________________€ 250/13______________________€ 250/13______________________$
I want to keep in ColumnA all three rows of 100/12, because it has a value in Column B in one cell-which is the criteria, and remove the 250/13 because it has no value in cell B.
I was assuming that merging duplicates in column A, and than remove empty from ColumnB.
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
It’s 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 it’s 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 have a spreadsheet containing 465 rows of data. Each question is tied to a subtopic. I've used a countif formula to count how many times I'm using all of the topics. I come up with 491 uses of all subtopics. How can this be if I only have 465 questions? Each question is only tied to 1 subtopic.
I've checked every countif formula and it is indeed giving me the correct number. ex: aprs is used 3 times, pricing request is used 13 times, etc. they are all correct.
Why won't the total number of questions match the total number of times a subtopic is used?
I have four worksheets and they are named: P (the master spreadsheet), and then A, G, and S (which, combined, should contain all the values on P). These spreadsheets are identically formatted. Column A in each spreadsheet has a Name, and column B has a quantity associated with that name. There are no column titles or headers.
Basically, I need to ensure A, G and S role up into P.
I'd like to create a macro that will identify instances where Column A (the Name) on the master spreadsheet has a match with Column A (the name) on any other spreadsheet. Then when there is a match, I want to reconcile Columns A (the names) and B (the quantities) on the master spreadsheet against its corresponding values on the other spreadsheets. In my ideal scenario, a new worksheet would be created showing:
Column A: Contains the values from Spreadsheet P, Column A
Column B: Contains the value from Spreadsheet P, Column B
Column C: Blank
Column D: Contains any matching value to Spreadsheet P, Column A, but otherwise states "No Match"
Column E: Lists the corresponding value to Column D, but otherwise states "No Match"
Column F: Equals Column B minus Column E, but otherwise states "No Match"
I've tried applying examples from other threads but they are so customized/specific to people's individual needs that I've been unable to make them work for my more simplistic example above.
I have a "form" type spread sheet that I have created where the user can enter different information (like name, company, addresses etc.). I have figured out how to create a drop down list. But what I would like to do is create on a seperate sheet a "data base" of information which will be "copied" into the appropriate cells on the first sheet depending on what the user selects from the drop down list.
The drop down list will list company names, which are stored on the second sheet. However, each company will have other data such as the company address (which will be entered in seperate cells with information like, box, street, town, province, country, code).
Now this is the clincher... The user must be able to add to the data list on sheet two and any new entry must automatically appear on the drop down list on sheet 1, and when selected it's "data" must be transferred to the appropriate cells on sheet one from sheet 2.
I have 3 Databases for three different departments, namely Finance, Services, IT. These 3 databases are housed in the same workbook - Sheet 1(named Finance); Sheet2 (named Services) and Sheet3(named IT).
They each have the identical columns and column headings, but I have to maintain them for each of the departments.
I created an Excel UserForm to enable me to input data onto the first database (i.e. Finance). In the VBA editor, lefthand side, it has the name 'frmFinance', and all the codes are pasted on the righthand window of the 'frmFinance' sheet.
Is there anything I can do to be able to use the same UserForm to enter data onto the other two databases without having to create a new UserForm for each one of them. As indicated above, the three databases have identical columns and headings, and the data entered onto each of them are identical. The only difference is that they are for three different departments and I have to maintain each one of them - albeit in one Workbook.
I've created several access databases to which I've connected my excel files. However I've either deleted/moved these databases but my connections are still showing in Data -> Existing Connections tabs.
I've tried going to C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice14QUERIES but no such queries exist.
I've tried to combine rows, but can't seem to do it. I have a spreadsheet with over 18,000 lines of data, and I really don't want to go through each line to add information from another line and then delete that line. Is there a formula that can do this? I have attached a sample of what I have and what I need.
I am trying to merge rows of duplicate entries, say I have the following information in a excel spreadsheet:
Column A: Name Column B: First Line of Address Column C: Area Column D: County Column E: Post Code Column F: Tel Number
If I have the data above in my spreadsheet I want to basically search and look at columns B,C,D,E and F and then if there are any duplicates of these for that row anywhere on the sheet I want it to merge the Data for those duplicate as shown below:
A|B|C|D|E|F Dave, Mark | Rice Rd | Liverpool | Merseyside | L45 7HT | 6381754 Tony | Hill Grove | Runcorn | Merseyside | L78 9JU | 6527897 John | Lime Ave | Runcorn | Merseyside | L34 9HF | 7248853
I have managed to find a macro that is shown below however this macro only looks at 1 column and then merges the data based on that which is not what I want
In Sheet1 --> Emp id, Emp Name and Emp dob having some 'p' rows In Sheet2 --> Emp id, Emp address, Emp Designation and Emp blood group of some 'q' rows
Now, i want in Sheet3 --> Combination of both Sheet1 and Sheet2 data. Note: Emp id in Sheet1 and Sheet2 are same which indicates an unique identifier. I attached a file for your reference..
I have three very large columns that I need to deduplicate and dump back into three separate email campaign databases.
Here's the scenario: First column: Largest (15,000+ records) Second column: Medium (10,000+ records) Third column: Small (7.000 records)
I need to know if the first column contains dupes from the second & third columns. If so, I must delete the DUPES ONLY so I have unique email addresses remaining in column 1. Then I need to know if the second column contains dupes from the first and third column. If so, I must delete the DUPES ONLY so I have unique email addresses remaining in column 2.
Then I need to know if the third column contains dupes from the first and second column. If so, I must delete the DUPES ONLY so I have unique email addresses remaining in column 3. I can't just dump all of them in one column and auto filter on "unique records only" because the three columns MUST remain separate from each other.
I have been scanning web forums for days and have not found a solution to my question. I have found similar, but unfortunately am not clever enough with Excel VBA to adapt.
I have two columns of data which I want merged into rows (a) by survey number and (b) by time slots. The data I have is similar to:
I have a spreadsheet that I need to insert a blank row every other row and then merge that blank row. I can do this with the macro below. My question is that I only want the merge on each blank row to merge A:H. Example would be insert row 9 and merge A9:H9. Insert row 11 and merge A11:H11. and so on till the end.
Code: Sub insertrow() Application.ScreenUpdating = False Rows("9").Select Do While Not IsEmpty(ActiveCell) ActiveCell.EntireRow.Insert ActiveCell.EntireRow.Merge ActiveCell.Offset(2, 0).Select Loop Application.ScreenUpdating = True End Sub
I am looking for function which allows me to merge and sum values in rows with same ID.
Example:
Sheet1
Sheet2
ID Value
ID Value
1.1 1
1.1 4
[Code] ........
Ordinarily I would use a Pivot Table and GetPivotData function, which can easily do this calculation, but in this case file I work with is shared, so Pivot Tables do not work. Unfortunately I am not skilled enough to type my own VBA function. New rows are added to the data source (sheet1) every day...
I have a CSV file that varies in length. The request is to have a macro to import the CSV file, sort it by account number (COL A) and for every row that has a like number in COL A, sum the numeric values in COL F. I have considered a pivot table however we then have to take the SUMMED records and export then in CSV.
how to SUM based on COL A? The rest of the information in each like row is duplicated.
Those rows have to be deleted where duplicates exist in column A and C. In our example the first three rows would meet the criteria and two of them have to be deleted. Content of Column B has to be merged with ";" but without duplicates. The result would then look like:
I'm trying to figure out the if conditions for this relatively simple problem. Basically, this is an import from a word document where the table strays onto a new page. I want to try and repair this with a bit of VBA.
This is what it looks like:
1: cell 1 |the content should all be in this cell 2: |but the import sometimes splits it into two 3: cell 2 |
Basically if and only if cell Ax is blank (in this example A2), then I want the rows to merge each cell and repair the table.
In a big data sometimes I have identical rows (maybe the 'Quantity' column has different value). I would like to merge them into one and add the quantities together. I have to use B and C (I need both) to find out if these rows are identical.
For example: A1=date B1=111222 C1=ABCD ... and G1=quantity (1) A2=date B2=111222 C2=ABC ... and G2=quantity (1) A3=date B3=111222 C3=ABCD ... and G3=quantity (2)[code]......
I am a CAD person, trying to edit a large spreadsheet for reading into CAD.
I need to merge 2 worksheets into a 3rd. Then search and delete the blank rows. (There is only 3 columns in the document, but can be as many as 5,000 rows or more)
The Cad program does not like blank rows, so I have to delete them if users insert them, and there may be several in a row. (Users need only edit one of the worksheet, No. 2)
The 3rd worksheet must then be saved to a Tab-Delimited txt file in the same location on the network as the xls document.
I am able to select the worksheets and copy to a 3rd, but how to go to the end of the data, before merging the other data from the 1st worksheet into the third.
I have a sheet that has a section in range (c18:k25) (it is merged and text is wrapped) If that amount of space is not adequate to fit all their information I would like to add a macro that when activated it asks how many rows would you like to add and then based on that number whether it be 1-10 it would insert a new row to that merged range so they can continue adding more information . I have the sheet locked down to prevent changes so it would have to be unlocked and then re-locked within the macro.
to prepare an excel spreadsheet for a mailmerge but as all of the info for 1 recipient needs to be in columns instead of rows. I need to convert 2 columns' data into columns but only when there are duplicate invoices, see below;
I have a large list of text in one column which i need to combine between blank rows into one cell or a new column, the number of rows to be combined varies.
for example
aa bb
ww xx zz
rr
gg hh ii jj
would become
aa bb ww xx zz rr gg hh ii jj
I have over 30000 lines so doing it by hand is not an option.
