Removing All But Highest Occurrence Of Version Numbers In Long List?

Feb 7, 2014

I have a list full of different IDs with different version numbers (This format: AKH123.1).

I'm trying to clean the list - removing all duplicate IDs but leaving only the largest version number.

I managed to remove the last digit using LEN/VLOOKUP and removing duplicates, but leaving only the largest version number is too tricky for me. I've thought about trying something with LARGE but can't wrap my mind around it.

My thought process went like this: I want to find all occurrences of "AKH123" and return the largest one.

The list contains about 8000 entries and this would save en enormous amount of work.

Here is a tiny portion of the list:

AKH450.1
AKH451.1
AKH451.3
AKH451.4
AKH451.5
AKH451.6
AKH451.7
AKH451.8
AKH452.1
AKH453.3
AKH454.1
AKH455.1
AKH455.2

Trying To Write A List Of Numbers In A Cell, Keeps Converting It To A Long Number

Jan 12, 2010

I'm doing the website for my company and things have to be entered into the site via spreadsheets. I have a list of numbers

e.g. 3652, 2845, 50925, 4809, 18392

that need to have the spaces removed in order for them to work.

e.g. 3652,2845,50925,4809,18392

There are over 500 cells with multiple numbers in each, so I don't want to do it one at a time, and rightly so, because Excel keeps changing the format and giving me something like

3.6*10^30 and loses all my commas.

Is there an easier way?

Picking 5 Highest/lowest Numbers From A List

Jul 17, 2009

I am trying to generate a list of the 5 highest and 5 lowest numbers from a list of scores that range from 1 to 10. I have found the highest and lowest absolute values (numbers over 7.5, and less than 5, out of 10), but I would also like to generate the 5 highest and lowest relative numbers, ie. if there are no scores over 7.5, then the 5 next highest numbers. I have used if/then formulas for the absolute highest and lowest numbers, and a rank/countif formula to rank them. I have no idea how to generate a list of the "relative strengths and weaknesses".

Complex Lookup- "master" Worksheet Containing A List Of Documents And Their Corresponding Version Numbers

Aug 5, 2008

I have created an index of documents in Excel 2003. I have one "master" worksheet containing a list of documents and their corresponding version numbers. On another worksheet, I record details of changes to the documents and hence changes to version numbers. This list will constantly grow over time, and in any order depending on the documents to be changed. However I want certain fields to automatically update themselves, namely the version number.

So for example, I have a column to evaluate if document changes are required, yes or no.

If "Yes" is selected, I want the version number in another cell to automatically update to the next in sequence (add one). So if changes are required, V1 becomes V2 etc. Now the next version number will depend on the previous version number, so before it decides if it adds one, or not, it needs to lookup the value of the current version number in a range. Again, as its a list of different documents this can only be done by first looking up the unique document number.

So to summarise, I need it to lookup the unique doc number in a range and find the one that has the highest version number against it, and return its version number. And then encompass all of this with the If statement to evaluate whether or not the version number needs to add one.

Populating 1st And 2nd Highest Occurrence Of Instance Per Category

Feb 13, 2013

I am trying to set up a template that displays (per selected team) the highest and second highest number of employee occurrences per a specific category. My main attempts at solving for this involved using an array formula to return this information, but, I couldn't get one together that worked.. Unfortunately I don't have any vba background or else I'd go that route

I've attached an Excel workbook to this thread outlining what I am attempting to put together on the template (sample outline). Tab 1 is the template which has a drop down in Cell C3:G3 where a user can select a team, Cell columns G6:G10 and H6:H10 (upon team selection) would look to the Data Entry table on Tab 2 and return the employee name (per the selected team on tab 1) and matching the designated category (displayed in B6:B10 on tab1) that has the highest and second highest occurrence of that category "infraction" tied to them.

Removing Duplicates From Long Row Of Data

Mar 12, 2014

I have several fields in a row that contain names of files e.g. 123.xlsx. Some fields will contain file names that will be duplicates of each other and some will be blank entries (although the blank entries can be changed to a value such as 'n/a' or 'no' etc if required).

I require only the non duplicate values to appear in the final cell, each separated with ';'.

My data is in row 2 of a spreadsheet and in every other column (A,C,E,G,I,K,M...for 45 instances in total).

I have used the following formula to identify the unique values (example below for the first four cells):
=A2&IF(C2=A2,"",","&C2)&IF(OR(E2=A2,E2=C2),"",","&E2)&IF(OR(G2=A2,G2=C2,G2=E2),"",","&G2)

This works well and if there are several blank entries then I use a SUBSTITUTE function to change the multiple ',,,,' to a single ';'. So I only see the unique file names in the final cell, separated with ';'.

However, the above formula becomes longer and longer when each cell is added to it. I have over 40 cells that need to be added and I wondered if there was a better way of doing this?

Create Unique List From Matrix & List Frequency Of Each Occurrence

May 23, 2009

I've searched the forum and believe this thread to be the closest to what im looking for, but its doesnt completely apply: matrix to list conversion. I have an attachment to support my questions (see attached). I have a matrix of words (strings) that contain repeating and non-repeating contents. The matrix also has spaces which are of no value. Essentially, the VBA needs to ' analyze' this matrix and create a consolidated frequency list (as shown in the file).

The matrices are HUGE and therefore some of the clumsy VBA i am using is turning out to be a bit inefficient. The file also contains formulas and such that I cannot use AutoFilter nor can I use Insert or Delete rows...so the VBA shouldnt use those either.

Filtering A LONG List To Entries In A Shorter List

Nov 10, 2008

I 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?

How To Stop Long Numbers From Auto Rounding

Jan 27, 2014

I am working on an inventory issue, we use a bar code scanner to read in inventory, and when we move inventory.

One of our inventory items has a number that is 20-numerical characters long, Excel seems to convert the last 5 characters to zeros (0).

An Example number would be: 89148000000286153971 Excel changes the number to: 89148000000286100000

Different Long Numbers Formatted As Text Are Considered Duplicates

Jan 9, 2014

I have an issue with long numbers (16 digits). To display them correctly in excel I formatted the cells as text. This part works fine, but now for some reason conditional formatting marks different numbers as duplicates.

In my case 3081281170122602 and 3081281170122601 are considered as duplicates by excel.

See the file attached. duplikaat.xlsx

Using Highest Of 2 Numbers In Formula

Jan 20, 2014

I'm trying to wrap up a spreadsheet and I'm trying to figure out how to have my formula use the highest of 2 numbers when making a calculation.

For example:

If:
Cell A1 = 5000
Cell B1 = 3828

I want the formula to use A1 in this case. However, if the total of B1 = 6000, I want the formula to use B1 instead of A1 in the calculation. (A1 = 5000 will always be a constant/base).

Extracting 3 Highest Numbers

Aug 1, 2009

I came up with a way to extract entire row corresponding to the highest number in L column and to post it in the different sheet.

I have 2 issues to solve though.

1. I need to extract only 13 ranges corresponding to the highest number in L column - ( A through M) - not entire row.

2. I need to do the same with the second and the third highest numbers of the same column L.

This is what I have so far:

Sub extract()
Dim first As Range
Set first = Range("L" & WorksheetFunction.Match(WorksheetFunction.Max(Columns("L")), Columns("L"), 0))
first.EntireRow.Select
Selection.Copy
Sheets("Result").Select
Range("A1").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormats, Operation:=xlNone, _
SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
End Sub

Sum Highest Numbers In A Range ...

Nov 22, 2007

I am looking for a formula that will add the 8 highest values in a range of up to 20 cells. The range may have fewer than 8 values in some cases in which case the sum of all those values will be returned.

Thus a row with these values will yield the following output (bold denotes highest 8 values):

8, 28, 45, 13, 17, 19, 21, 30, 47, 8, 15

47+45+30+28+21+19+17+15= 222

Extracting Multiple Numbers From Excel Cell Having Long Description?

Jun 12, 2014

I need to extract numbers from excel cells. For eg-

BAR TBG 04.00X02.25X26.50 1340 HRN SMLS SPEC. ES4.38694

^^^ This is one of the cells. I need to pull out 04.00, 2.25, 26.50, 1340 into different cells from one given cell.

I have tried using =MID() function, but I need to make changes into that formula everytime the position of first numeric letter changes while I go along a column. And I need to make changes into it as I go along the row.

It is taking me a lot of time in extracting numbers from one cell into different cells and I am afraid that I will spend the rest of my life getting this stuff done.
