Using A CELL Value To Search For Duplicate In A COLUMN
Apr 30, 2014
I have say Cell B3 this is always a date on a sheet named Party Times on another sheet I have a column of dates with entries, say it is column D this sheet is named Party Schedule.
I need to check Cell B3 (4/30/2014) with all of the Column D on sheet Party Schedule to be sure I do not schedule another party on the same date...
Also doing this it needs to be somewhate of a do --- while if there ARE NOT any dates overlapping then go ahead and copy and paste the macro to the sheet if there are msgbox "PARTY ALREADY SCHEDULED PLEASE RESCHEDULE).
I have an excel sheet with data from Column 'A' to 'S'.
I want to identify duplicate entries in Column 'J' and from those identified columns I want to further search Column 'K', highlight the matching text and then fill text in Column 'L' should have the missing data after matching the 'A' and 'K' cells.excel_duplicate_entries.png
I have a worksheet, example data below, it has 150+ columns and varying amounts of rows 1 -> 2500+ per column. The row data is as follows:
Row 1: Has title of worksheet Row 2: Date of the column Row 3: Total of completed for the day Row 4 - n: Serial number
I need to intsert a new column to the right of each column and then populate it with the date at the top of the column from the left, I need the new date value to go down until it reaches the end of the data in the left column. So effectivly each serial number will have date in the column to its right.
There are no blanks in the rows, or blank columns.
I tried to solve above problem using Data Validation formula. Data validation does not work if somebody copy paste the duplicate values,it works when somebody types duplicate values in next column. So if I want to enter lot of urls to a column then it is completely impossible to type so must have to copy paste from the browser. I have attached a sample sheet, howl to solve this problem either using formula or using Data validation in sample 1 and sample 2 respectively.
I have 3 columns containing id, item, colour. I want to check for duplicate id's in the id column and where duplicates are found merge the colours into one cell, as follows:
What I am trying to accomplish is adding the values in column E that have a matching value in Column D and placing the total value of that calculation in column F in the cell that holds the last value for the matching value in column D
As you can see I have added the values in coulmn E that have a matching (Value) in cloumn D and the result is placed in the cell next to were the matching value in column D is last seen before another value begins.
In my case there are sometimes hundreds of value 1, 10 of value 2 and 15 of value 3. Currently I have to pick the cell I want to place the total in, click the AutoSum button and select the matching values in Column D then hit enter to get my result.
I have a excel file which contains dublicate rows. The duplicate rows can be identified based on few cell/column values. I need a macro to delete the duplicate rows when the below condition is satisfied: let us consider row 5 and row 6:
If column 7,12,13,16,17,18,19,23,24,27,28,29,30 in row 5 = row 6 then row 6 has to be deleted. This condition has to be followed for all other rows in the excel used range. Have attached the sample workbook.
I need a formula that will tell me what Tracking # in the spreadsheet has multiple dispositions and what those disposition are. I need the formula to use column and cell coordinates and not using word searches.
I'm trying to get a formula to give a response if a given cell matches any of the values in a row. This formula does not work: B2=IF(A2=D2:D6;D1;IF(A2=E2:E6;E1;0))
Spreadsheet: see attachment. I know one solution to the problem but it cannot be the right one. B2=IF(OR(A2=D2;A2=D3;A2=D4;A2=D5;A2=D6);D1;. I'm using Excel 2007, and it must be a way to easily check one cell up against a row or column. The solution with "OR" statement will be extremely long for a long list, and many columns.
I'm using the following code to open a target document and find a cell in this document in column A which has the same value as an another cell in the target document:
Can any one tell me why the result of this search ends up with cell A2 which is empty, although the CZ2 cell has an another value, which can be found in column A.
search column "E" for a specific text value (let's say "it"). When found, copy the value in column "A" for the corresponding row where "it" was found to another cell "F2". When copying to cell "F2", if a value already exists in cell "F2", then no nothing else copy the value. If no "it" was found in the column, do nothing. I will continue to search, but since I am new to VBA it takes me a bit to find what I specifically need.
I have a table that i use for a customer database. and the end user adds new customers to this table, what i would like is for a message box to pop up whenever cell B2 matches an entry in a column in the customers table. the table starts on row 25, and the column i would like to check for duplicates is column B. I would like the message box to give the user the message "A customer by this name already exists, Would you like to load this customers file?" If the answer is yes, then the row that the match was found on would be copied and pasted onto row 1. if the answer is no, then nothing else happens. I hope this makes sense, i am posting this sheet of my workbook for reference.
I have an tab with 20,666 rows that I need to separate into different tabs based on what a cell in a specific row starts with.
Data Tab 001-020-002-000 Walker River Irrigation DistPO Box 820 YeringtonNV89447 001-020-005-000 Walker River Irrigation DistPO Box 820 YeringtonNV89447 001-020-006-000 Walker River Irrigation DistPO Box 820 YeringtonNV89447 001-020-007-000 Walker River Irrigation DistPO Box 820 YeringtonNV89447 001-020-008-000 Walker River Irrigation DistPO Box 820 YeringtonNV89447

So what I am looking to do is search the APN row in the Data Tab that starts with the number from the APN # row in the APN Tab and then copy the row to a new/existing tab named after the Description on the APN Tab.
I'm trying to make a combo box that lists only unique entries in 2 columns but also has a count in brackets beside the entry. For example:
Apples (8) Bananas (13) Grapes (2)
The code I have to populate the box is:
Sub RemoveDuplicates() Dim AllCells As Range, Cell As Range Dim NoDupes As New Collection Dim i As Integer, j As Integer Dim Swap1, Swap2, Item
Set AllCells = Range("e3:f370")
What can I add to count how many times an entry is listed in my range? Also, the filter works off text from the combo box, how can I remove the counts prior to filtering? Here's what I'm using now to filter:
Private Sub SrchBtn_Click() Worksheets("sheet1").Range("b1") = ComboBox1.Value Range("A2:J1000").AdvancedFilter Action:=xlFilterInPlace, CriteriaRange:= _ Range("L1:M3"), Unique:=False ActiveWindow.SmallScroll Down:=-5 Unload Me End Sub
Want to look in one column and find the first non-blank numerical value, then have it return a value from another column.
Used to nest multiple IF functions together from different cells, but it seems overly complicated and time consuming. Sometimes I have over 30 cells to check.
For example, if Column A contains weekly sales data by week, entered weekly, and Column E has corresponding comparison data from the previous year. I want to enter a formula to check the first row that has sales data entered and have it match up the comparison value in the other column.
What I have: (Table1) A table with multiple columns. One column consists of cells that can contain different types of information in a non-consistent way. One thing is for sure: if a cell contains data, it will always contain a name of a person. E.g. a cell in that column could contain the following: "838374987343 based on 98989 John 990999", or "000000000john", or "William 39843984 more text and even more text"
(Table2) A separate table that contains the names of people in a column, e.g. "John", "William"
What I want:A formula that searches for the names (mentioned in Table2) in Table1 and copies this name in a new column.
Result:A new column with the copied names as content.
I tried to search the forum first and but i cant find ways to combine everything i wanted to achieve. That's why i'm posting this to consolidate all those...Sample files are attached for better understanding. I have an excel file (sample.xls) which has cell values in column A. These values will then be used to find a match in each of the text files (in this example, sample 1.txt & sample 2.txt) present in the same folder with my excel workbook. I need a macro to perform the scenarios below.
1. Say, the excel file contains a list of cell values in column A. 2. Temporarily open the first text file (sample 1.txt) as an excel workbook. 3. Search each cell value in column A for a match in the first text file. a. If that certain cell finds a match, no matter how many it may find, that cell will be formatted with "BOLD" format. b. If not, that cell will be formatted with GRAY text color. 4. After all the cells have been used, the first text file will be closed and the next text file (sample 2.txt) will be opened temporarily. 5. Repeat steps 3 & 4, except that, when the cell value has "BOLD" format already, it will be skipped and proceed to the next cell. That is, the grayed ones can be turned back to black color and will be formatted to "BOLD" format if a match has been found in the 2nd text file. 6. If there are other text files present within the folder, do steps 2 to 5, until all the text files are searched.
I have been able to make a excel sheet which takes inputs from userform for First Name, Last Name, Address etc. I have included a duplicate check for column "B" for "First Name". This checks if any existing data is already which matches the new data input for "First Name" through userform.
The userform only checks for the "First Name" check as required and gives a message that duplicate has been found. Then I have to close the userform and do a Control Key+F ( to find the new name for example, James) in excel sheet and validate that new name is same or different from existing name "James". This I want to do since this new name "James" may be another "James" as his "Last Name" is different. So even though First Name is same, since Last Name is different I know they are two different persons. In that case I will add the entry manually in sheet, instead of userform, since I would not be able to input the new data for "James" since the duplicate check with the current code will not allow me to do so.
What I am current trying is -
1. If the new name say "James" is entered through userform, then excel should point me to the existing row where the record for existing name "James" is there, say row 4.
2. Now without closing userform I should be able to see in the background excel sheet the search results for "James", as excel is pointing to that now. There may be multiple "James" in the existing which should be pointed out.
3. Based on the results that I see in the background excel sheet I can now decide that, this new name "James" is different from old "James" (of row 4) since his Last Name is different. Accordingly excel code should then ask me to add this record or discard this new record.
4. Duplicate check for First Name is enough for me. I would not require "Last Name" duplicate check.
I hope I have been able to explain my problem. I have also attached my current code as I am not able to attach any sample test file.
I am building a Workbook which takes data from SheetA and inserts it into SheetB. Part of the data is only entered when a positive value exists.
I then do an export from SheetB.
The problem is that I need to get the column number and pass it to the cell reference based on the field name in row 1.
Dim sFindstring As String Dim rFindcell As range Dim iR As Integer Dim iC As Integer
sFindString = " Find this string in the cell" 'Using cells find the findstring Set rFindCell = Cells.Find(What:=sFindString, After:=[A1], LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious)
'OK so look here iR = 3 'I am trying to pick up the column number iC = rFindCell.Column
rFindCell throws an object or with block variable not set error. Is there some property that I need to set.
My Excel program (Excel 2010) currently has several columns and each column looks for and pulls data from a specific file on my computer. Then I need to delete any duplicate data entries, count the number of unique entries and track the changes through a chart. I have everything done except I cannot figure out (or find on the internet) a way to search in multiple columns (more than 2) and delete just the duplicate cells. I want to delete the cells in a way where there is one left. For example if the code 12gf is duplicated three time, I want to be left with one 12gf (it doesnt matter what column the original one is left in). Additionally, column length changes and they are not sorted. I have attempted to attach an image of an example file below.
I have a file which has in excess of 12,000 rows of data in 5 columns (sample file attached with fake data). The five rows are:
"First Name" "Last Name" "Name" (uses CONCATENATE to combine column A & B) "Email" "Date Attended"
There will be duplications in the list as people will have attended more than once over the years. What I want to do is search through the email addresses (Column D with D1 being the header) and where there is a duplicate email address copy the cell to the right of the duplicate (F#) into the next available cell to the right of the first occurance and then delete the row with the duplicated email address.
I have a sheet where i want to delete duplicate rows where column A and column B combined are equal, i.e. range(Ax:Bx) where x is the current row. I am using the macro below but cant seem to get it working as I keep getting a type mismatch error and Im not sure why.
Search a worksheet for a user defined text string, and have excell return the contents of a predetermined column in the same row in which the text string was found.
A prepopulated worksheet has the text "gold" entered in cell T278.
1. user searches for "yellow_metal" 2. Excell finds "yellow_metal" in row 278, say in cell A278. 3. Excell then goes to predetermined column (programed as part of macro or VB), say "T", and returns the text contents of the cell in that column, T278 in this example. 4. Excell returns "gold"
I have an array 20 Rows x 42 Columns, which contains a competition draw.
I need to search this array for a unique value and return whatever the time is in the first column on the same row as the value appears, and enter it into column C in the Womens Times sheet.
I also want to return into column D the court number from row 3.
The reason i want this automated is as teams enter / withdraw we may need to drag the games from court to court to fill gaps, so i want the Womens Times sheet to update accordingly.
I have been messing around with index and match, but cannot quite get it to return what i need.
I have attached an example ... on the sheet "Womens Times" in column A there is a list of game numbers ( #1W etc etc) indicating womens game #1 and so on. The main sheet i am using also has a seperate tab for the mens games, hence the designator of W or M on the end of the game number.
I am trying to get a formula that will search one column range “B” and pull data from another, “D”. Dates are down column “B” and some of those dates are repeated several times. In column “D” there is only one piece of data (a number) entered for each day. Eg, if 08/06/2009 has been entered 3 times in column “A”, there will only be data entered in 1 of the cells of column “D” and blank cells in the other 2.
Column B -- Column D 07/06/09 -- 54000 08/06/09 08/06/09 -- 62000 08/06/09 09/06/09 -- 61000
I couldn’t get the LOOKUP function to work properly, as there are duplicate dates in column “B” and I often got a result of 0 returned.
As I’ve only got 1 piece of data added in column “D” per day and any duplicate days would just have blank cells in “D”, I can actually get a SUMIF function to work, SUMIF(B3:B60,DATE(2009,6,8),D3:D60). Although it does work, it doesn’t feel right using it and I would prefer a formula that would return just the one cell, instead of the sum of a range of cells.
I have a spreadsheet with a large number of records. Each row contains info about people and there are multiple rows for each person. The database is sorted by the last name column so you can see each row of data for that person. We have been manually highlighting the name by each group, alternating so you can easliy see when the name changes. (hightlight Adams, don't hightlight Brown, higlight Carter, etc) But the file is long and this will take forever. I would like to highlight each group of names without manually scrolling thru the large spreadsheet. It would even be fine to just hightlight the first occurance of each name so that you can easily find the first record for that name. Conditional Formatting doesn't seem to work since I need it to hightlight when the last name changes - not find duplicates.
I have a file with duplicate names of test id's in col a. In col b I have single test id's and col c I have test names. I need to search col a for exact match of test id in col b and if it is there then put the name of test in col c into col d.
See attached document. Basically I need to know the name associated with the ID in column B.
I made a quick little spreadsheet that explains what I am trying to accomplish. Basically I need to search a column for a known number, when it is found, I need to look at another column on that row, and if the cell is a specific item , count it.
