Updating Values In Variable Ranges Based On Repeating Patterns In A Column
Jul 6, 2006
I have a list of two columns. Here’s an example. The left most column provides the row number.
_ A B
1 1 0
2 2 1
3 2 1
4 3 2
5 4 2.5
6 5 4
7 1 0
8 1 0
9 2 2
Whenever there are two repeating numbers in column one, I want to reduce certain numbers in column 2 by a certain amount. The amount is determined by half the difference between the number in column B corresponding to the second repeated number and the number in column B corresponding to the row after the second repeating number. The range of numbers that are to be reduced begins with the row after the second repeating number and ends with the last row before number one appears in column A. The values in column A are integers, always starting with one. For example, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
For the above example, after finding the repeating number two’s at A2 and A3, it would reduce B4 through B6 by half the difference between B3 and B4 (1/2). The values for B4 through B6 would be updated in column B. The same for the next repeated numbers, which is one at A7 and A8. Half the difference between B8 and B9 is 1.
Here’s what the updated list would look like:
1 1 0
2 2 1
3 2 1
4 3 1.5
5 4 2
6 5 3.5
7 1 0
8 1 0
9 2 1

I have created a spreadsheet to find cyclical patterns and my next task was to sort these patterns from highest value to lowest.
Next I need to start from the first row of the sorted spreadsheet and find the first row working down that repeats. Once I find his row I have to stop the search and highlight both the original and repeated rows. If the first row has no repeat it has to move to the second row and do the same operation until it finds a row that does repeat and so on.

sorting data I use in a workbook for athletics. I've really chopped down my workbook for upload, In the worksheet "Leaderboard" I can call up stats for different lifts, and it finds (in this case) the top 5 lifts and the names for the kids that have those corresponding lifts.
My problem is that when two or more kids have the same lift, it will only call up the name of the first instance of that lift. You can see this in the "Leaderboard" worksheet, and the name "Adams, Andrew" appears for both lifts of 75. I would appreciate any help on how to correct this, as I've searched the Internet for weeks now looking for a solution. I've tried experimenting with different things as well, all to no avail.

I need help creating a macro that will search through my excel spreadsheet and for every instance where column A isn't empty it should cut a range of columns from that row and paste them in a different range of columns in the row before it. It should then delete the row that it cut the columns from and keep searching until it has done this for the whole worksheet. I can modify which range of columns are needed, but it has been so long since I've worked with excel macros that I haven't been able to do it.

I have some code to plot a column chart of data but it isn't working as expecting at the moment. The code is below. The variable binCounter is a count of how many cells in a range that I want to plot on the chart.
However, what I am finding is that the first couple of cells in the range appear as the series name with the rest appearing as the data in the chart. Secondly, the chart appears with the axis labels 1,2,3 etc when I have some custom ones I would prefer to use. How do I go about setting this property, as I can only find options on setting the axis title There is a lot of stuff on XY charts on Google but I can't find much on column charts unfortunately .
VB:
'activate sheet and chart
Worksheets("Home Page").Activate
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Histogram").Activate
'set variables for chart
With ActiveChart

I am trying to read a value in cell A1 and make say cell B1 read the same. The data in cell A1 is a real time percentage value that gets updated every lets say 10 secs. Every time the data is updated the new value goes into the next cell A2, A3, A4..... and so on. Every time it gets updated (i.e into A1,A2,A3,A4.....and so on), I want to read the new value each time in B1.

I'm attempting to do work on pattern detection and actions based on how said patterns occur in a column. Here is what I would like excel to do for me:
Code:
Pattern W1
Example A1=A , A2=A , A3=B
Pattern L1 Consecutive "A" 3 or more
Example A4=A , A5=A , A6=A
Triggers on specific events:
While L1 tracking variable = 0 -- If L1 is found, mark a variable to -2 then set the corresponding cell in the column over to the value of the variable (-2)
While L1 tracking variable < 0 -- If consecutive L1s are found one after another, then (on each consecutive occurence) multiply the variable by 3, then set the corresponding cell in the column over to the value of the variable
If W1 is found while L1's variable is < 0, then multiply the value of the L1 tracking variable by -1 and add 1, then set the corresponding cell in the column over to the value of the L1 variable, then set L1's tracking variable to 0
If W1 is found while L1's variable is = 0, then set the corresponding cell in the column over to the value of 1
All data is in one column.

summing monthly values based on different date ranges. For example if I have multiple contracts with different start and end dates and based on those date ranges, I want to sum the respective monthly production totals, how would I do that in a formula. I started to set up the table to include "start date month" and "# of months in contract". Is there a way to sum based on the start month and # of months in contract.
For example if hte contract started in Jan08 and ends in May08, the calculation would start with month "1" and sum over 4 months.

I have two named ranges, let's call them A and B, each referring to a different single row in a worksheet.
I have another row in which I would like to compute the maximum of the values found in A and B in that column.
=MAX(A,B) gives the maximum value of all the values found over the entire ranges A and B, rather than just those in the current column.
What formula should I use to find the maximum of the values found in range A and range B in the current column?

I m trying to get around here within the company I work for.
I'm interested to know how to set a specific range value e.g. "5 to 10" once a value is between those 2 numbers, and then if the value in the next row below is 34.12 it will be "30 to 35".
Here's an example code I constructed, but the darn thing just keeps on running

I have a challenge related to a excel sheet we are using for personnel planning.
Vertically we have several projects with action items listed row by row in the following format:
- Project 1 xxxxxx
Project management
Project Engineering
Workshop
Shipping
Etc.
- Project 2 xxxxxx
Project management
Project Engineering
Workshop
Shipping
Etc.
Horisontaly on the columns we have dates, day by day for a year +
For each day we chose from a drop down who is assigned to the action item. The problem is when there are 30-40 + projects and each have 20-30 lines of ation items it is hard to get the overview and avoid double entry. I would use conditional formating to do this, but firstly each project is separated by a line containing different formulas and I would not like the conditional formation to change these cells, and at the same time to put this up manually for each row would take a long time since there are 365 + rows.
how a VBA code could solve this little challenge? IT would also be beneficial to have it do the check upon cell change, that way we would not need to manually run the VBA to check.

I have a list of research material based off postcodes, travel time in those areas and what I want to do is rank the the travel times in those ares within a third column.
What I have so far in design terms is this:
Origin Base
Time
Time Ranking
AB10
00:10:00
AB10
00:12:00
[Code]...
So basically I'm trying to have column c look at a and check for the lowest value in b against all other rows that have the same constant value e.g. AB10 in column a. Then to distinguish them somehow for example marking the first '1'. Also then to be able to do it for second and thrid ranking value.
What do people think? Is this doable? I think maybe a min if array but keep tripping on the fact that the ranges are all locked in a single column and inconstant sizes.
The data comes in this format and is quite large so manual editing would be a last resort.

Macro that could look at a row and take the values of two cells, combine them and then create a range name for a third cell in the row.
For example; for row 5420, in column C there is the word Florida, in column D there is the number 6235, and in column F there is a sentence or two. Is there a way to automatically create a named range for the cell of column F that would be named FLORIDA6235? And if so, can the macro do this for every row even if the word and/or the number changes.
I have roughly 28,000 rows and nine columns that I am working with. That's why I was wondering if there was a way to automate this. There are 10 states and I don't know how many different numbers attached to the states, however there are many state and number combinations that repeat, so there would be several rows with Florida in column C, 6235 in column D but a different description in column F.

i can't seem to figure this one out.
I attached a file showing how i am trying to format data (the second tab).
The big issue is the counting to format. (the formatting itself is obviously easy.)
The number of columns is not always standard so i need to count for it.
the number of rows in each "room number" is also not always standard, which means i also need to count for those.
If anyone has had experience trying to do something like this i would appreciate the help.
i know it is possible because i had one that someone had given me years ago, unfortunately i lost it in a hard drive failure...also years ago.
if it isn't obvious what i am trying to do, let me know and i will try to be clearer.

Okay, so this is what I am using:
[Code] .......
It is finding the name for a value from a table of values, the only problem is that there are more than one names which correspond to the same value. It doesnt matter to me which name it retrieves, but it lists the same name over and over again, where i'd prefer if it used a different name each time. Any way to keep it from using the same one?

Here is a table with values from Factor1 to Factor 5. Underneath that, for a specific index, I can mark Y or N for factor values. For instance, for index 1, Factor1 and 2 is marked as Y. The goal is to calculate total factor based on variable and factor values. In this case, variable value is 6, factor 1 =1 and factor 2=1.25). So Total factor = 6*1.25*1.5 = 11.25. If all factor values are marked as N, then total factor = variable value (Example is for Index 3)
How this can be implemented. I tried using COUNT function to count the total number of Y but that works only if all factors have same values.

I'm trying to make a spreadsheet that will count the number of times a certain incident occurs, for a particular person, for a particular month. The attached spreadsheet is an example of what I need done.
For the attached spreadsheet, I need to find out how many times x employee has been late for x month, and how many times they've been late overall.
You can see one of the many tries I've attempted in the second sheet, but it doesn't seem to want to work. I have to be able to do this without VBA, because of signature issues.

For example I have a data set that will grow over time say 13 rows, I want to write a formula that will only use the last 3 rows with data entered and get the Median of those rows. I know that the Median Formula for the entire 13 rows would be =MEDIAN(A3:A16). Anyone know a way to make a Median formula only look at the last 3 in any given time without manually updating the formula's range?

I had an idea that I could use the level of indent in the first column to provide the name for the range. The easiest way to explain is with the example spreadsheet I have attached
Cells C5:C10 show how the naming convention should look like, basically Indent Level 0 returns a prefix (Sheet_Name_Prefix) and its corresponding row entry in Column A. Level 1 should return the last Level 0 name and its corresponding row entry in Column A.
I had a go at the code and it works for Level 0 but I can't get it to put to Level 1.
Sub Test()
'Dimension Variables
Dim RowTitleEntries As Integer
Dim NameLoop As Integer
Dim IndentLevel As Integer
'Set the value of RowTitleEntries
RowTitleEntries = 6

I have a spreadsheet in which data is dumped from a database, there is a dump (on a new tab) for each site.
I need a summary sheet which will add up the two tabs. My problem is however is that I can not use Vlookup as the same codes are used and it will only return the first occurrence.
e.g.
444588 Prime Wages/salaries
This code appears under Production prime labour and Distribution Labour but will only ever return the production prime labour value
Another example would be
444586 Ohd Wages & salaries
This code appears under Production Overhead, Site Overhead, Sales overhead and Admin Overhead this would only ever return the production overhead value only
Is there any way that I can get the summary sheet to use a formula where it looks up the department and then the code? I was thinking index and match but I was unsure if this was possible also.
Worth noting is that the summary sheet has a list of all codes that could be used but the dumps will only ever have values if a cost has been occurred, there for the number of rows in each department is not consistent. There will be a number of tabs however in the attached example I have only provided two.

I'm having trouble delivering a MAX value within a range.
In column A I have a running list of numbers, in column B I have a yes or no answer and in column C I'm trying to write a formula that will deliver a MAX value from the A column inbetween occurancies of the Yes and No values from the B column.
I'm trying the SUMIF function but it seems to be proving problematic.
This is what it would look like.
A B C
1 Y 1
2 Y 2
3 Y 3
2 Y 3
1 Y 3
2 N 2
7 N 7
6 N 7
5 N 7
3 N 7
2 N 7
6 Y 6
9 Y 9
3 Y 9
It is almost as if I'm trying to get the formula in the C column only find the latest MAX value from where it currently is to when the last changeover happened from Y to N.
I can't find the Max dependent on a yes or no answer, but I'm struggling to make it only look at the last batch of Yes's or No's!

It has several steps and i will now just explain the least complicated one, and hopefully once i get this done i will figure out the rest myself. If not then i will need some more help
I have 500 entries (names) in column A and each entry has a coresponding category in Column B (Large, Medium, Small).
I want to see how many entries are there for each category, but i need to count the names which appear in the list only once. If the name is entered more than once then i dont need to count it.
I hope i made it clear as i am not able to provide excel table as an example do to security settings.

How can I modify the codes below so that the results in the listbox would reflect only the actual data? Some previous information stays in the listbox making the search inaccurate. I have tried to clear the listbox first before querying another but results are the same.
On the first loop, the queried items are accurately listed in Worksheets("Search"). For example, if the data being searched on has only one result, entries in this sheet would only show one. But when it is shown in the listbox, it at most times show previously queried information.
Also, how can I dynamically adjust the array so that no vertical scrollbar would appear if the queried results fit perfectly in the listbox? The array below would automatically assign 10 rows in the listbox even if the information shown consumes only less than 10 rows.
Option Explicit
Dim MyArray(10, 5)
Public MyData As Range, c As Range
Sub FindCaseNo()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim FirstAddress As String 'what to find
Dim rSearch As Range 'range to search

This is for a template for teachers to analyze student testing data. On sheet4, wrong answers in each column are noted by a lack of a + in the corresponding cell. I want to paste the names of the students who missed each question into sheet 5.
I've done it by repeating a filter macro, but I manually copied the following separately for the 75 columns in the template.
Problem #1 - there must be a more efficient code, something that automatically loops to the next column
Problem #2 - the template has 75 columns, but many tests have fewer questions. I'm trying to find a way to stop the loop whenever it hits a blank cell in Row 10 on sheet 4. I've done it with an if/then in the last section on the above code, but where I'm at now, i would have to add that to the code section for each column. Which isn't that big a deal, but I figure there must be a better way.
The relevant portions of the workbook are attached here.

working on grouping coordinates because he we wants to simplify data. But he works manually and it eats his time. He has some sheets with data. I suppose there are 7 sheets. Each sheet has coordinates shown on example below. Also there are intervals between pairs of columns, so there will be column A with B, interval of two columns C & D, column E & F and interval of two columns G & H and so on (altogether about 10 columns of coordinates per sheet). Every coordinate begins with argument '1' and increasing gradually by 1 (it is column A). Second column shows values of arguments. But some are repeating, some not. I would like to double these coordinates, where in one argument is only one value (for example these are row 1. and 11.). If there are two the same values I would keep them. But if there will be more values than two, for example row 5. - 8., I would delete row 6. and 7. from the middle. But border coordinates should be kept (row 5. and 8.) and split by moving up lower coordinate to it with rest coordinates. But I want do it separately for every two columns which contains these coordinates, so if I delete coordinates from columns A and B and split boundary coordinates I don't want do it for columns E&F, I&J...
