Removing Duplicate In From Two Columns Not In Order?
Oct 2, 2013
I have trying to remove duplicate value for two columns which are not in order since long time. I have listed an example for the purpose. Two rows contains same information in different columns. I just wanted to have one row and remove the other with same information.
I need a way to re-order an excel worksheets columns based on another worksheet.
Data is extracted from a database into excel however users can configure the columns in the initial system. to how they like This causes problems when the data is copied into an excel spreadsheet I have created as the data copied will not be in the same column order as is required.
How can i reorder the columns without physically having to cut and paste the columns to match?
I have attached a sample spreadsheet.
You will see on the spreadsheet that 'fixed columns' is the order that i require the data however 'variable columns' is not in the same order.
I have a long grocery order list and only choose about 100 items out of 1000. I would like to send it to the store with only the items I need. There are several category headings throughout the list which I would like to keep...like Produce, Meats, etc. The list total dollar amount is automatically updated as I enter the amount of the items I need. I just have a lot of unused items (10) pages worth.
I would like to combine 3 string together but I would like to remove the duplicate found in any of the string. I attached an example with the desired result. I know =A1&""A2&""&A3 can combine the string, as I wan a space between each string. anyone can further edit my formula to remove the duplicate ...
I need to restructure a report that I have imported into Excel.
My columns are titled (from left to right):
Company Name, Account ID, Client Code, Billing Street, Contact Name, Contact Number
There are many rows per Company because every company has many contacts. As a result, for each company, the Company Name, Account ID, Client Code, etc. columns with their associated information in the fields underneath the heading are repeated unnecessarily.
How can I delete the extraneous fields of information (leaving one Company Name field filled out per company) without having to go in an manually deleting them (which would take hours)
I need some adv on how to remove lines that containing duplicate cells. My data is up the max lines of 65536.
I have data in column D that have duplicate value and I need to remove that duplicate line from the list ( thus leaving only unique value). Is there any macro that can do this?
Now I want to create list C, a modified version of list B, which is made up of everybody in list B, EXCEPT for those people who are also present in list A (in this case, Jeff and Cindy).
So basically list C should look like this:
C:
fred@fred.com angus@angus.com chuck@chuck.com
What would be the fastest and most efficient way to create list C?
I have a data set that I add information to weekly. I then add a value at the end of the row, example active or inactive. I've found that, when using the remove duplicate function, it does not always remove the second instance, resulting in a loss of that added data(active or inactive). So I guess my question is, can I somehow specify which instance of duplicated data is removed?
Hi, I have a report that has multiple lines for the same job with notes of issues and solutions. Each line has a date assosiated with it.
What I need to do is to delete all of the notes apart from the first one. I have attached a sample of the data and highlighted the rows that need to be kept.
I have left the data in it's raw form as it is not always extracted in date order.
Can anyone help me out with a Macro that will sort the data and remove all rows apart from the earliest note per job number?
I have an excel spreadsheet with approximately 10000 rows. There are approximately 10 columns...
Column A - person's ID number Column B - name Column C - Street Address Column D - City Column E - State
etc...
It being such a large list there are many many duplicates (it was pulled from a bunch of different excel spreadsheets and combined into one via copy and pasting one document into the other).
I figured out a way to have excel highlight the duplicates in a different color... but scrolling through 10k people and deleting the duplicates is obviously very tedious (approx 40% of the spreadsheet is duplicates).
Is there a way to sort out the duplicates (via their ID number, column A) so that there are no repeats? I want to get rid of the 2nd/3rd/4th (etc) occurance of the person's information but I was to obviously keep the first occurance.
I tried using Advanced Filter but I must have done something wrong because it shrunk the list too far down.
I have a column that is filled with various car brands that a dealership might sell. The data in the cell may look like CHRYSLER; CHRYSLER; CHRYSLER which I would want to just say CHRYSLER. If the cell says CHRYSLER; FORD; CHRYSLER; FORD I want it to just say CHRYSLER; FORD.
What I need to happen is for duplicates to be based on both the name and email matching (columns A + B) and then remove all duplicate rows, whilst ignoring but preserving the content in columns C,D,E and F on those rows that remain. Column G contains either "Yes" or "No" depending on a users membership status. Sometimes duplicated data will contain identical name and email address but have different membership status in column G where someone was logged in when submitting a form the first time, and then logged out the next (potentially a mixture of the two over multiple times). Therefore I need any duplicate users who have different values in the G column throughout the database to be detected by the macro and we must ensure that the single row retained in the final non-duplicated list displays "Yes" in column G for that user.
Duplicate users who are always "yes" or always "no" work fine, its only the ones with mixed values for column G that need to be analysed and their return forced as Yes in the final list.
The final list should preserve the original column structure and thus be only one row per unique user.
The above code appeared to work the first time with a sample file, but when running the macro on one of my full size lists (3k - 5k rows) it returns 2 rows for each user who started off as a mixture of Yes/No... ?
Both rows will say yes in column G (so that part is correct!) but I have to re-run the macro again on the same dataset for it to remove the duplicate yes rows to get the list as it finally should be!
So I can achieve the result by running it twice, but this is a bit of a cheating way to do it and also the next stage after this involves something similar across multiple worksheets so I need something rock solid to build upon!
I have a list of customers that contains duplicate records. These records ALSO include thier addresses WHICH may or may not be identical.
Example: Customer with LAST NAME in A1, FIRST NAME in B1 may be the same person as A2 and B2, however each record may have a different address in column C1 and C2 respectively.
I want to be able to filter out all duplicate customers based soley on the first and last name (data in columns A and B).
I need a macro or excel formula so that it will remove duplicate products- case sensitive(removing all duplicate prod using using excel,that i know.) i.e. it should not consider Blue BLUE as duplicate. only consider Blue Blue as duplicate.
So the macro should work same as data -> remove duplicate function already exists in excel, except it will be case sensitive..
I'm trying to remove duplicate entries from a list of names & addresses.
What I'm after is some VBA code which will examine row by row the 'post code' field and the 'Full name' field and highlight/delete duplicate entries.
Its best illustrated by an example
Full Name Address Postcode Mr C. Verougstraete 6 somone st, Leicester HY8 9YK Mrs R. Brazier 8 high st HY9 9LK Mr C. Verougstraete 6 somone st, HY8 9YK
The last record is obviously a duplicate of row 2 therefore will be removed.
I am working on importing contacts from Zimbra to Outlook/Exchange.
Outlook is not properly importing the contacts and is consistently importing only some of the data for each contact. So, I played around a lot with the import file and have found that if I delete out all the columns that have no data in them for any contact record, that Outlook imports no problem, perfectly.
So...here's my issue. I have multiple contact lists for each user that I am importing. We're talking about 100 different CSV files to sort through, some of which have at least 500 records (rows) in them. It is a lot of scrolling up and down left and right to find columns manually/visually that have no data in them.
Any manner in which I could add a row at the top of each CSV/excel file, input a formula, drag it across all columns that will tell me if there is data within that row? I tried using a filter, but because a lot of the data columns have no data in the first row across multiple columns, it doesn't seem to be accurate.
I have a list of about 85,000 addresses and I know that there are about 35,000 duplicates in it.
If I do 'Remove duplicates' it deletes them but takes the first one of each it finds and what I want to do is remove the duplicate with no UPRN in it (Column B)
I have a single spreadsheet with a few columns but hundreds of rows. Each row is a property reference (with other data such as address in the columns) with a type of charge in column J and the amount in column K. I'll try to replicate below ...
A B ....... J K Prop1 Prop1Address Rent 100 Prop2 Prop2Address Rent 150 Prop3 Prop3Address Gas 70 Prop4 Prop4Address Water 60 Prop4 Prop4Address Rent 200 Prop4 Prop4Address Elec 80 Prop5 Prop5Address Service 90
I want the sheet to display a property on a single row so would look like as follows ...
A B ....... Rent Gas Water Elec Service Total Prop1 Prop1Address 100 100 Prop2 Prop2Address 150 150 Prop3 Prop3Address 70 70 Prop4 Prop4Address 200 60 80 340 Prop5 Prop5Address 90 90
Need to find out how I can restrict a worksheet to show only the columns and rows that I want. For example, I want to show columns A to H, and rows 1 to 25, and nothing else - I don't want there to be a column G, or a row 26, just blank grey space. I know it's possible, because I've seen it done : D . But the closest I can get to is: View > Page Break Preview, which isn't quite what I'm after.
I want to use data validation to enforce that every cell is greater than the next cell in that column. I've tried using =OFFSET(A:A,1,0) thinking that it'll return in next one, but no luck.
AS you can see in the attached file, I have several collumns of data going form 2012 to 1992. I would like to know the quickest way to invert this so the data is presented 1992 to 2012.
1. first I export data and directly paste in the "RAWDATA" Sheet. 2.There are 50 columns and each has header like Clientname,date,Id,campaign,websitename,frequecncy etc. 3.Exported data does not have same order 4.so when I paste data in excel I check manually if orders are in correct or not?which takes my long time to review/manually check
Using macro or something else to review the order and if any discrepancy then raise error? Need Excel to check order of columns ?
I want to export some columns of my worksheet to a csv-file. But i don't want to export all of them, i just need for example: Columns B, D and G and inside the csv-file they should be in an different order like G, B, D .
I already thought about using "union" to select the specific columns, but i can't get this to work.
I have a sheet diplaying 5 columns of percentages which I need to rank in descending order, i.e. assign rank 1 to the largest percentage and 5 to the lowest. See the attached sheet.
