Replace Duplicates With Whitespace
Dec 20, 2007
I have a spreadsheet that is generated by vbscript that the first column looks like the text below.
Mechanics
Maint Supplies & Equip
Maint Supplies & Equip
Repairs to Paving
Repairs to Paving
Repairs to Roof
Repairs to Roof
Repairs to HVAC
Repairs to HVAC
Repairs to HVAC
I would like to have it look like:
Mechanics
Maint Supplies & Equip
Repairs to Paving
Repairs to Roof
Repairs to HVAC
Putting blank cells in the place of the duplicated cells. I figured out how to delete the dups but that will not work for my purpose.

I have a worksheet which is working nicely, but I want to extract a couple of the most important values and display them in the whitespace on the right of the table. Because of their importance I would like to do so in a larger font than is used in the rest of the workbook, but without increasing Row height to accomodate it. Essentially I'd like to do a center across selection, but vertically not horizontally but can't find a way to achieve this.

I have a file with 300k lines of SKU data. This is data by month for 12 months (so roughly 25K SKUs per month, with changes in SKUs each month.) I take this data and pivot it and drop it into a file.
I noticed last month when I prepared that the SKUs have names next to them, and sometimes the information is pull by the name instead of the SKU. Unfortunately, in the master data, someone entered different names in a few of the months. So for example, in some months SKU 0012 is Green B and in other months it's Green Beans. I need the names to be the same.
Is there a quick way to fix this given that I'll have 12 records and maybe 3 will be one name and 9 will be there other? Finding and replacing every one is a chore because on pivot there are 40k. I don't think I can do a quick remove duplicates because it would remove multiple months. I just want each SKU to have the same name.

In short, I would like a pivot table to only count unique values, but when I click into the pivot I would like to show all instances of that value. For example:
I have a table of data that I am creating a pivot table from. There are fields for Customer ID, Task Name, Age, and Notes. There will be multiple records for a single Customer ID each time it has new notes.
I would like to create a pivot table that has Task Name in the Row Labels, Age in the Column Labels, and count of Customer ID in the Values, so that, for example, I can see how many accounts have been in the Design task for 2 days. However, when I do this it counts each record, but I would like it to count each unique Customer ID. Also, when I click into the pivot, instead of pulling up one line per Customer ID, I would like it to pull up each instance of Customer IDs in that Task Name/Age combination (similar to doing a DISTINCT in SQL).

This problem has come up fairly frequently lately, and I'm not sure how to fix it, or if this is by design...but in Excel 2003 I can't seem to do a "Find and Replace" based on the value of a cell. I can do a find, based on cell value, but the moment I change to the replace tab, the "values" and "comments" are missing from the "look in" dropdown.
I've only noticed this when I'm trying to replace on a filtered list, so I'm not sure if that is part of the issue.
Perhaps an alternative way of arriving at the same goal. Basically I have a worksheet with a number of filtered columns. They are filtered just right, using custom filtering, and so I do not want to undo the filters. In some columns I have formulas that are returning #VALUE! errors. I'd like to replace all of these cells with NA.

I recently became owner of a spreadsheet with some issues, and I am trying to make it useful. Each row has a URL of a blog post, and I want to extract the date from it (which is present in each URL) while getting rid of the rest of the URL. I was able to get rid of everything up to the year (which comes first), but then the URL continues, for example, 2013/05/16/the-rest-of-the-url/ and I would like to just have 2013/05/16 remain.
I am trying to use find and replace with the find box reading 2013/??/??/*/ and replacing it with 2013/??/?? which effectively erases everything else in the url, but leaves ?? instead of the numbers. Is there any way to have it so that it keeps whatever was in the original box?

[Code] .....
Trying to repeat a 550 or so character statement with a find/replace however I am getting type mismatch errors. When I use a smaller message in the "replace" it works.
I need it to post a message exactly as long as what I have in there. How do I get it to work?

Need assistance with the code for catching errors when using the find / replace function in excel? In particular, I am trying to write code to break to an error message when the value or string searched for isn't found in the find / replace. At the minute I have just copied the standard code using a macro and all this does is return a message box saying X entries replaced.

I have values in row A and I have values in row C. I want to create a loop to look up xxx and replace it with the values consecutively in row C. Look at example for a better Idea. I found a way to find and replace, but I not sure how to use it with qoutes. I was thinking maybe I dont even need row A and just supply a list and excel could have the chunk of data in the code itself.

I have a list of isometric drawing numbers ending with a [underscore]weld number e.g. 1692-SG-0040-04_05.
Some welds are repaired--in that scenario the amended weld number will be 1692-SG-0040-04_05R1, and even 1692-SG-0040-04_05R2 if repaired for a second time.
On occasion a weld may be cut out entirely and a new weld done. The weld number for that will be 6317-FG-1690-02_06C1.
And here's a wrinkle I've just verified...a cut weld may also be repaired so the weld number will look like 1698-SG-0077-01_04C1R1.
Is there a formula to count these as one weld:
1692-SG-0040-04_05
1692-SG-0040-04_05R1
1692-SG-0040-04_05R2
This as one weld:
6317-FG-1690-02_06
6317-FG-1690-02_06C1
6317-FG-1690-02_06C2
...and this as one weld:
1698-SG-0077-01_04
1698-SG-0077-01_04C1
1698-SG-0077-01_04C1R1

I am having trouble creating a function to count duplicates of duplicates.
An example of the data table 1 is:
Product 1 2nd
Product 1 2nd
Product 1 New
Product 1 New
Product 1 Flt
Product 2 2nd
Product 2 New
Product 2 New
Product 2 Flt
Product 2 Flt
Product 3 2nd
Product 3 2nd
Product 3 2nd
Product 3 New
Product 3 Flt
I created a new table (table 2) and made a list of all the Products on table 1 and removed the duplicates. I now have 3 columns with titles New, 2nd and Flt as follows:
New 2nd Flt
Product 1 XX XX XX
Product 2 XX XX XX
Product 3 XX XX XX
I am trying to count the duplicates for each product (XX), but I can't seem to work it out. I've tried the MS help function, but unsure of the actual formula I need to be using.
I am using Windows 7 and MS Office 2010.

I am trying to create a macro where it finds a a certain word in a column for example C. What i want it to do is find anything that says FWD_EUR and then replace that cell (e.g C2) with CASH_EUR_FWD and after it has done that it replaces the adjacent cell (e.g. D2) with EUR_FWD. I then want this to do the same with FWD_USD to CASH_USD_FWD and adjacent cell to USD_FWD.

I'm wanting to use Excel's built in replace function to replace ANY date with "Call:"
I'm not going to go into details about why, but I cannot use a code, as I only want to change them at specific times.
The dates are currently formatted as 12/09/2009. So I need to change the 12/09/2009 and any other date there may be to "call:" without having to go through every possible date.

I have over 16000 cells with different information in them, each cell is unique. There are parts of these cells that have similar information.
I am looking to search part of the cell, and replace the whole cell with my new description, so I can run pivot tables on it.

I'm trying to Count duplicate text on sheet 2 and populate the number of times repeated on sheet 1.
On sheet 1 I have A3:A128 and would like the number of times these respective cost centers are repeated in Sheet 2 to populate Column B of Sheet 1.
File attached.
Not sure which formula to use. I tried CountIF but didn't work with 2 sheets.

I used the following code to replace " characters to !%. Then I copy the selected cells, and replace the !% back to "-es. The copied cells contain the "-es. When I comment the second replace, the function is working correctly, the copied cells contain the !%. What's the problem of my code?
Selection.Replace _
What:="""", Replacement:="!%"
Selection.Copy
'Selection.Replace _
' What:="!%", Replacement:=""""

I have a bunch of phone numbers in a row and I want to eliminate duplicates of 10 for a given number. For example - 5556839898 may appear 15 times, I want to delete the 5 extra instances of that number, leaving me with a maximum of 10 duplicates. This is for an SMS voting application where the entries where supposed to be limited to 10x.

I've attached a test excel to this post. Column C contains several identical email addresses. I need ALL the rows containing the duplicate data removed, not leaving one remaining as Remove Duplicate Values normally does.
I'm going to be doing this with many Excels all with differing amounts of data surrounding column C. I need a reliable way to achieve this, regardless of how many extra data columns exist. If there is a duplicate of data in column C, all rows containing that data need to go, regardless of what other data may also be present in those rows.

I have a table in excel that contains many rows, each row being a product. Each row has a product ID, and should be unique, but there are multiple instances of products in the table, some that are duplicate and some that contain different info (product notes, description, etc).
What I would like to do is group the products by product ID, so that I can show the different occurances of the product within each product ID, so that we can weed out the unique values within the duplicate products by ID. Is there any easy way to do that?
