Similar Names ....
Feb 21, 2008
As you can see in the example below, in column B I have a list of vendor names, some of which are similar but not identical. (For Example, in one instance a vendor will be called "Ford Motor Co.", while in another it will be called "Ford Motor Inc.".
I need to populate column C, which at every instance where two plants (listed in column A) have similar vendor names in Column B, a universal name will be assigned and recorded in column C for each of the similar names.
HOpefully it is clear as shown below.......

I have tried looking for similar questions in the forum and couldn't find them. If you know of any, please let me know. My problem is that in one column I have peoples names that are repeated. I need to average numbers that are in the same row as their name. So for example:
NameDateworkPagesRevisions Revisions/PageRH9/16/09Sandy land39320.82Bryce9/18/09Price mixed use1111030.93Bryan F.9/21/09Letter (rates)6325.33Bryan F.9/21/09Bountiful Nursery64871.36Randy9/22/09SJ Subdivision58220.38RH9/25/09Park City office Condos76881.16Bryce9/25/09Evanston Motel62210.34
this list is continually added upon monthly. So for Bryce I would be able to pull 111 and 62 and have an average of 87.5 from the pages column. But if I were to add another row farther down with his name, it would change the average.
I was thinking that a repeated vlookup would work if it stopped when there was a blank in the cell, but I am unsure on how to do this. If you have any questions, let me know. I was hoping to have it in a formula in a cell above the table.

Basically I have a list that user can select up to 6 values from. I have set them as individual strings.
Code:
Public IH1 As String
Public IH2 As String
Public IH3 As String
Public IH4 As String
Public IH5 As String
Public IH6 As String
What I want to be able to do is loop through them and do certain actions. How can I get a for statement to do that.
I tried something like that but it doesnt work. How to get it working I need to do tests on the variable strings and I want to be able to reference them and I'm not sure sure how
Code:
For i = 1 To 6
If "IH" & i = vbNullString Then
Else
MsgBox "IH" & i
End If

I am working on a customer report template that generates our customers reports and will send them out automatically.
This issue I have now is that the system that generates the raw data for these reports only lists the Customers name in a column with an entry for each line of data, the thing is though that the system has lots of variations of the customers name, even more so if that customers has different departments.
What I need to do is from this list of customer names, I need to automatically figure out what the "common" name is or main name so to speak, and then make a variable using the correct full name, which will be used later on in the code to import correct logos, and direct the reports to the correct people.
Here is a quick example of what data we get raw from the system:
Customer Name:
John Build
Johns Buildings
Johns Ltd Building
Johns Plumbing Department
Glass Doors Ltd A Department of Johns Buildings
Johns Building Corporation
Hole In One Golf Range
This is just an example, we have thousands of clients, so the length, number of words etc can change alot. Ideally I from a list similar to that I would get a full proper result of "Johns Buildings Ltd" for example, this would then be in a variable to be used in code from then on to reference doing certain things with the reports of Johns Buildings Ltd.
You'll notice there is one name "Hole In One Golf Range" that seems to have no relation at all, this is correct, ideally I would also like to build in some error checking into the code, so that rows like that that have nothing to do with the others would get deleted.
So how would you amazing VBA gurus go about working with data like this? I'd prefer a more general answer with explainations that just straight code, as I'm sure I will have to adapt the hell out of it for it to be useful in context.

I need to use the VLOOKUP feature from the most latest files, I am using VLOOKUP in VBA code which is working fine, however the problem is that the files from where I do VLOOKUP are added randomly in a week.
Ex:
There are 2 Files, 1st File where the data would be looked up from the 2nd File, Now the 2nd File has names like this "Offline Data as on 10th May 14", "Offline Data as on 13th May 14", "Offline Data as on 23rd May 14", etc.
Now these files are send by another department, and each time the most recent data has to be searched from these files.. All of these files have to be maintained separately for record purposes.
Hence in the VLOOKUP, Lookup file keeps on changing...so is it possible to make a code in such a way that the code picks up the most recent file for reference, from the above example we would need to pull the data from the most latest file which is "Offline Data as on 23rd May 14" , if any other file is added in that folder more recent than the one mentioned than the code should automatically link it to that file.
I have managed to codify the lookup but due to this filenames being changed always I have to do this manually..as this has to be done at several columns in several sheets its extremely time-consuming.
So, logic code to pick the most recent date which is embedded in the filename...

I have a long customer listing, names 5 to 36 characters and several with their location in the name as well as a few common duplicate names. I am trying to produce sheet where the customers name once selected opens in the customers spreadsheet and data can be added/amended for sales etc.The lists are not in alphabetical order as when created a customer number is automatically allocated. My aim is just to type in the first letter of the name and the dropdown appears the customer is selected and their card appears. I have tried data validation, lookup, vlookup, Dropdown and Match/find. they only return the first record found and no sign of any others. Find returned all instances of the letter appearing in every name.

I have a worksheet with many tables that I use in formulas.
I like tables for a couple reasons, one being the ability to insert/delete rows without affecting the rest of that worksheet row.
Also, automatic copy of formulas/formatting is great.
But, what I really like about tables is the ability to use the naming conventions in formulas.
Problem is when I save this worksheet, after I close it and open it back up, all table references in my formulas have been converted to cell references.
Example:
Code:
=IF((SUMIF('Quote 1'!$M$28:$M$43,">"&'Quote 1'!$J$57:$J$60)*'Quote 1'!$G$57:$G$60)+(COUNTIF('Quote 1'!$M$28:$M$43,""&'Quote 1'!$J$57:$J$60)*'Quote 1'!$G$57:$G$60)+(COUNTIF('Quote 1'!$M$28:$M$43,""&tblOSSRV[Min Order Cost])*tblOSSRV[Cost / Part])+(COUNTIF(tblFam[[#Data],[Qty by Factor2]],""&tblOSSRV[Min Parts Per Line])*tblOSSRV[Cost / Part])+(COUNTIF(tblFam[[#Data],[Qty by Factor2]],"

Two part question:
1) I'm relatively new to arrays, but what I need to do is generate a list of file names and the sheets within each one. I would like to use an array for this, but since I don't have much experience.... well....that's why I'm here. Can someone point me in the right direction?
2) And the second part of this.... I was planning on using the FileSystemObject to determine the files in a selected folder and loop through that list of files, opening each one and harvesting the required info (file name and all sheet names). Should I use the FSO or is there something built into Excel that might be better (and also limit the number of dependencies for this little "project" of mine).

I am using Excel 2003 and Windows XP.
I have been given a list of my firm’s target clients (in excel) and an opportunities report (exported into excel) from our CRM system, which lists all the opportunities (i.e. opportunities to sell/provide products/services) that have been created for each client. Some of the column headings in the opportunities report are as follows:
Client; Opportunity ID; Opportunity Name; Opportunity Description; Created by; Date Created etc.
What I need to do is lookup each client, from the target clients listing, in the opportunities report to see whether an opportunity has been created; and if so, return the row of values (i.e. the Opportunity ID; Opportunity Name; Opportunity Description; Created by; Date Created) for that client. The result will be placed next to the name of the client in the target client worksheet.
I have a couple of problems. Initially I tried to use the VLOOKUP function to lookup the client name in the opportunities report and return the Opportunity ID (I then planned to use the same formula to return values from the other columns); however, as the client names in the target client listing were not always written the same way as they were in the opportunities report, the formula often returned #N/A. The formula I used was
=VLOOKUP(A8,'Opportunities Report'!A2:F51,2,FALSE)
So for example, the first client that I was looking up was written as “ABC Ltd” but in the opportunities report it was written as “ABC Limited”.
My second problem was that for some clients, there were multiple opportunities listed in the opportunities report. Where this was the case, there was a separate row (repeating the client name in the first column) for each opportunity created. I think that was messing up my VLOOKUP formula as well.
Is there a way to look up the client name, from the target client listing, in the opportunities report even if it’s slightly different and return the row of values for each opportunity created for that client on a separate row?

I have created a sheet that contains a new diet program, calculated down to the precise calorie required for my training routine. Please see below for an example of one of my daily meals:
[url]
I need a formula that will help me to create a weekly shopping list (as the values in the example above will change on a regular basis). So I need to take all values from the from columns A & B, multiply them by 5 and then show me the totals in another sheet.
Similarly, I need to do the same with columns E & F, only they need to be multiplied by 2. The totals then need to be added to give me the required amount (in grams) for the week.

How to combine cells with a similar value inside them into a single cell. Here is what my data looks like.
10'X14'{&}SNM8981-1014{&}16
2'6"X10'{&}SNM8981-2610{&}9
4'X6'{&}SNM8981-46{&}6
[Code]....
For example, I need to have every cell with SNM9012 to combine into the same cell. If I could figure this out it would save me hours vs pasting the similar lines into textmate and removing the enters.

When you filter a spreadsheet, you can find results that are similar to a condition. I have families of products that share a common 3 digits, but the rest of the model number is different. The 3 similar digits could be the first 3 digits, or it could be 3 digits starting with the 2nd digit. This spreadsheet has each complete model number on its own row. In that row is a number that represents a volume. I want to be able to sum the volume column if the model number contains the 3 digits.Model Number
Volume
A hat
5
B hat
1
A glove
4
hat
8
In the above example, the total for "hat" = 5 + 1 + 8 = 14
I would type in a condition (family name) into another cell (D1) and the formula in D2.

I have an excel grid which have 2 sheets, sheet2 have all the data, I am doing a macro which based on a value that I put in sheet1 is supposed to find Items which have similar value +/-3 from sheet1. I made a code which I posted below, I don't have any error message but it doesn't work as it should. I explain you with an example: If in the data grid I have the following values
11.8
67.0
25.5
18.1
13.0
if the value I look for is 12 +/-3, it doesn't find anything.
if the value I look for is 11 +/-3, it finds 11.8 but not 13,
if the value I look for is 20 +/-3, it finds 18.1,
if the value I look for is 23 +/-3, it finds 25.5,
Here is my code:
Sheet1.Cells(1, 3).Select
Dim Amin As String, Amax As String ', Bmin As String, Bmax As String
Amin = Sheet1.Cells(3, 2).Value - 3

Problem is Findstring finds cells that contain "SS1" AND "SS1 EXT". These are separate grades.
I need Findstring to only find SS1. Using xlWhole doesn't work for me, as the cells also contain other data. For example: " SS1 48 /"
CODE:
FindString = "SS1"
Findstring1 = "SS1 EXT"
With Sheets("Sheet1").Range(Rng4)
Set Rng = .Find(What:=FindString, _
After:=.Cells(.Cells.Count), _

Cell A1 = 78-36
This is a win/loss ratio so to have it as a percentage I would have to divide the first number by the sum of the two numbers so 78/114 = 68.4% How would you do this with a formula?
I came up with this that isn't quite right, because RIGHT and FIND don't work together.
=LEFT(A1,FIND("-",A1,1)-1)/(LEFT(A1,FIND("-",A1,1)-1)+RIGHT(A1,FIND("-",A1,1)-1))
There must be a smarter way of doing this. TY

This is probably a simple question, but one I can't figure out after several hours. I am creating a spreadsheet focused on certifications.
I need to take the date each initial certification was achieved, and add x years to each cert, which is simple enough.
The sticky part is that the (date + x years) can't logically be a weekend; if it is, I need to subtract one or two days from the result, so that it's the *weekday* immediately prior.
e.g. if my initial certification date is: 1/23/2006 and my certifcation expires in four 4 years:
A47= date(2006,1,23)
h47= 10
=DATE(YEAR(A47)+H47,MONTH(A47),DAY(A47))
Result = Saturday, January 23, 2010
If the result is a Saturday or Sunday, I need to subtract one or two days from the date. In this example, I'd like: Friday, January 22, 2010 as the result.
I've been playing with 'if', et. al., to no avail.
