Ok, so lets say i have one list of names (cell:value)
A1:Value 1
A2:Value 2
....
An:Value n
and create a new list
F1:Value 1
F2:Value 2
....
Fn:Value n
I want to have a list nearby and i'd like somehow for a function that will remove entries that already exist on the first list.
I have a list in Row A that has duplicates. I want to be able to delete both entries (itself and the duplicate). When done I want the list to display only be entries that are unique or better said any entries that never had a duplicate.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI regularly have to add a few new lines to what is in fact a very simple data base I've had running for a long time in Excel. About 1200 lines now, one line per person. I add a dozen or so lines (i.e. people) at a time in a different colour.
When I re-sort the whole thing I run my eye down the list to spot partial double (i.e. duplicate) entries (the new ones in their own colour helps). Then I delete the double entries one by one. Pretty stoooopid, in'it?
How can I do this better, faster and more accurately with Excel to find just two duplicated data ( NAME and ID NUMBER) in a person's line (there are 15 columns altogether)? Or: Where and what can I search for (I've just spent nearly an hour trying to find an answer by myself, but don't really know what to search for)?
I have scoured the net for the following and have not been able to find a solution. I have found variations but not something specific for the use needed here.
I have attached a file with sample data which has the following format.
Column 1 = vehicle model (in this example golf, jetta, but there will be over 100 choices)
Column 2 = vehicle package option for specified vehicle model (automatic transmission, manual transmission, automatic transmission with air conditioning, etc...)
Column 3 = vehicle colour available for vehicle package option
Please note that Column 2 values for 'golf' are different than values available for 'jetta' (in the sample data I have blocked out common values with the same colour for quick and easy identification)
Also please note that Column 3 values of colour options vary for each 'vehicle package option'.
The behaviour that would be ideal is to have 3 drop down menus. The first drop down menu will allow selection from column 1 and will show each model only one time and repeated values will not be shown. The second drop down menu will only show the options available based on the selection in the first drop down menu. Likewise, the third drop down menu will show the colour options available based on the selection in the second drop down menu.
Since my data will involve hundreds of unique values in column 1 with plenty more added over time, it seems that the format of the data and the way it is laid out in the attached sample is the easiest way to organize it. It is perhaps also the easiest way to include new data without a lot of reprogramming.

I need to consolidate these two lists of data into one list.
First set is just a basic list of individuals with their data.
Second set is multiple entries for those same individuals. Each entry shows a subscription to a programme. The final single sheet should have one row per individual which shows all of the programmes they are subscribed to.
See attached, example sheet.
The real list is 3000 IDs, so need some kind of formula to do this.
I have two lists of product data, one for buyers and one for sellers (these are listed as A, B, C). The product names are not exactly the same (Eg Playstation and playstation three should be matched), I would have thought using the FuzzyLogic add in to match these would be the way forward! I need to rank the sellers by how many of their items appear on the buyers list
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a list of email aliases for my company, approx 10,000 entries, mapping the alias to an email address. Two columns, one the alias firstname.surname, second column being the full email address. I have a second list, a subset of these aliases, approx 1200 of them, that are users of a particular web app. All i have in this list though, is the firstname.surname bit.
What I need to do is compare the lists, and where the aliases match I need to pull out the corresponding full email address from the long list, so I have 1200 aliases in the shorter list, with the full email address mapped to it. Is this possible in excel? i've tried all sorts of LOOKUP functions, and MATCH functions, but none seem to work. MATCH will give me the corresponding row number in the long list, but then it seems to offset itself every row it goes down, so the values are 1 out for every row. First row is good, second row -1, third row -3, fourth row -4 etc.
I don't want to have to manually go through 1200 entries and match them against a 10,000-entry list. Hopefully there's a quick way in excel to filter the long list down to the entries specified in the short list?
I have a dynamic list of names from B2:B500. I want to write a macro that finds all the unique entries from that list and pastes it to AD3:AD501 everytime the macro is run. What would be the code for this procedure.
View 9 Replies View RelatedIt's a quarterly schedule for utility meter readers, divided up into days across the top, and routes/areas down the side.
There's a space with each route for the employee ID to go, depending on who's doing it.
Down the bottom of the sheet, there's a few empty lines for all the available employees who haven't been allocated to a route.
On the second sheet labelled EMP LIST, is all the employee IDs. It's also got the areas they work- it's for something I want to implement later.
I can put all the employees into a single column list, then use basic DV to give a dropdown menu by each route, to assign an employee to it. This is pretty straight forward. I've also been playing with this in combination with a countif, so that employees already assigned do not appear in the list.
This is about as far as I've managed to get with it.
I need to get the employees who aren't assigned to anything to appear in a list below the routes. I'm fairly sure this is just another countif, but I'm not 100% on the exact formulas.
I also need the list in the dropdown menu to reset for each day of the quarter, i.e. if I assign an employee to a route on the 30th day of the quarter, their ID will disappear from the list for any other route for that day, but will still be there for the other days of the quarter.
So far the only way I've managed to do this is by duplicating the employee list for every day of the quarter, which is going to get very cluttered, and also makes staffing changes difficult. I'm hoping there's an easier way to do this using one data set.
I've added an example of the sheet. It's one week and it's only got about 1/3 of the routes we would actually have on any given day.

I have two lists in the same workbook:
List 1) Contains customer contact information, including an account number. These account numbers may be duplicated in the list.
List 2) Contains account numbers of customers who wish to be removed from the first list.
I need to remove the rows from the customers list (List 2) where the account numbers match, and also copy those to another list for review. So far, I can manually choose and run some code to remove one particular account number only (eg 123):

I have two worksheets, one which contains a list of workstation numbers, and another which contains all of the workstation numbers and additional information on the workstations in the company.
I want to remove all workstation numbers and their information which are not present on the first list from the second list.
In the first w.orksheet each workstation number is in a seperate row, and in column one (seperate cells).
In the second worksheet, each workstation number and its corresponding information is on the same row, and each different workstation is on a seperate row with its information.

What I am having trouble with is after making a data validation list in a column, I need to count each separate list entry and display it in a "totals" column. The drop down list has 4 entries yes, no, blank, and pending. The formula must count which value has been selected from the list and return it to a cell same as the COUNTA. I.E. 100 rows in the SS 50 are yes, 25 are no, 20 are pending, and 5 are blank.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a list of names in column A with monthly budget figs next to them in columns B,C,D etc. At the bottom of the list there is a total spend summary on line 7. This spreadsheet is then pasted with links to a separate worksheet (see example)
If an additional name is added to the list in Row 7 in the original list, the total is now in row 8 - how do I ensure that the linked sheetl picks up this addition?
(I have a project where I am drawing data from numerous worksheets. I have paste linked them as tabs to a summary worksheet so that funtions such as SUMIF can update when the file is closed or open)
I keep a client list and excel at random will essentially hide entire rows of entries. For example if I go to search a name from the name column that I know I entered nothing will return but if I specifically enter the cell number that is hidden the information will be show, does excel 2011 have an auto-grouping or hiding feature that I'm not aware of? If so, how do I get rid of it? I'm not sure if this makes a difference but all the numbers to the left most of the sheet are blue where in every other sheet they are gray.

View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a list of entries of which some are distinct and others are similar. For example, I have 1) JohnSmith 2) JhonSmith 3)SomeoneElse. The first and second entry are similar but not equal due to a spelling mistake, the third entry is not related to the first. My question is: How can I obtain which entries belong together? The output would have to show that 1&2 are similar and that 3 is different.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am using excel 2003 to count my inventory in the following manor:
I have a "database sheet" that is comprised of possible inventory SKU numbers.
I have a "scanned sheet" that lists all the SKU's that I have scanned in the warehouse
I have a "count sheet" that counts the number of times each SKU in the database appears in the "scanned sheet"
Am I going about this in the most efficient manor?
Question 2: Frequently, new Items appear in the warehouse that are not yet in my database. Is it possible to create a list of SKU numbers that do not have a match in the database? As it stands, any SKU numbers that are scanned but not already listed in my database - simply do not get counted.
I'm trying to make a sheet that will allow users to either pick from a drop down box, or if the choice they want isn't there, to input data in the same cell. That part I have got. What I can't do is figure out how to have excel add that user input to the list of options, so that they next time the drop down box is used, that "user input" will appear as an option in the drop down. I used data validation to do all these drop downs.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a large database of service invoices. Since our invoice can carry multiple lines, the table in question might have multiple entries for the same invoice number. I'm trying to generate a performance metric dashboard for the service group by employee. Again, the employee can show up multiple times per invoice if he performs different work for each invoice.
I'd also like to condense the list down so there aren't any blank rows between the rows with data.
Ultimately, I need to find each individual invoice that each employee worked on and generate a list from which I can then generate an SPC chart. I'm willing to do this in a couple of stages if necessary. Primarily, I want to avoid using VB script if possible.
So, cherry pick service invoice numbers from a list when matched to an employee's name (VLOOKUP), consolidate multiple entries when that employee's name matches multiple entries of the same service invoice number, and condense the list (preferably as it's built) so there are no blank rows.
I am doing a list which has the same products returning several times, but with different values. Want to filter/make a new list, with only one of each product and the summed amount of that specific product. Summing the specific amount is not that big of an issue, but the creation of the list is, least in a smart way i have tried this:
[Code]......
This being the last possible entry for the summed list.
My problem is that the formulas is getting too big for my computer :S, since this formula is copied more or less 10 times.

I have a spreadsheet that needs to have a validation drop down list in three cells in every row (D, E, F). There are three items in the list, say, "One", "Two" and "Three".
My only problem is that there can only be one entry of "One" in each row.
I need a formula (I'm not sure if its possible without using VB which I have found on another thread) that I can 'drag' down to the cell Bx (where x is variable) to extract unique entries in a list of values and then display them in a shorter, more concise list - like the 'Pick From List' function does but actually display these values in seperately in a column of cells.
Hope this is making sense.
So (hopefully) to elaborate:
A1:Ax = The list of values containing duplicates
B1:Bx = The list of only unique values from column A
product1
product1
product3
product7
product1
product7
product3
I want to do a lookup and return to a new list just the unique entries, such as this:
product1
product3
product7
I have it working now using a pivot table to get me the unique items, but there must a be a more efficient function to do this.
I have a List like this (a large one in practical)

cat
rat
bat
dog

The last record is obviously a duplicate of row 2 therefore will be removed.
