Using Different Colors To Highlight Duplicate Values?
Sep 17, 2013
I have rows that contain property identifiers and their owners. One property ID can have multiple owners. I would like to color the rows differently to show each unique property ID with their 1 or more property owners. I have attached a file showing what I would like (with fake data). In excel, I was able to figure out how to highlight the duplicate values, but it only does them in one color. I would like each property ID value to have it's own color - as I show in the attached file. In the file, I have value 1234 as one color, the 4546 values as another color and 2233 values as another.
find the attached Sheet, where some values are entered in column A with repeated action. What I need that through an excel function the repeated values should get red colour like in the Column C.
I created a spreadsheet for use by the shipping department where I work. We are trying to prevent pulling and shipping the incorrect item to the customer. This is how it works. The employee downloads a CSV file containing items that have been purchased from our website and imports the file into the excel. Then the item is pulled and the employee scans the item's barcode into the spreadsheet named "SCAN." Formulas and code on the "reference" sheet look for the SKU number in the list from the CSV file while others create a consolidated list of SKUs that have been scanned, SKUs that have a problem and need to go to customer service, and SKUs from the CSV file that have yet to be scanned. Some of the formulas in this workbook have been borrowed from forums like this and altered to fit my needs - I'll admit I'm not even entirely sure how they work.
Occasionally a SKU is scanned in twice and not always sequentially which will effect the total item count. It can be very difficult to find the duplicates in the list.
I would like for any value that appears more than once in column B of the 'SCAN' sheet to be highlighted. I have tried to do this, but to no avail.
Scan Below FWD: CS? If FWD: CS, state reason below: Status NOT SCANNED FWD to CS SHIPPED
I have a workbook that has five worksheets listing warehouse inventory items. One worksheet for 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010 and 2009. In column b of each worksheet is a column B with a heading of "Item Number". There are hundreds of item numbers on each worksheet.
I would like to be able to find and highlight item numbers that appear in multiple years. Preferably color coded showing appears in five, four and three years. If that's too difficult than just items that appear in all five years. I tried conditional formatting, but have been unsuccessful.
Lastly, is there a way to list any duplicate item numbers on a new worksheet.
I've been looking for a solution to highlight all duplicates within a certain column across all worksheets in the workbook as the entry is made, no button to search for them. I have found bits and pieces, but can't seem to stitch them together to create what I am looking for, still very green with vba.
My workbook is a loading schedule at a warehouse, so there is a tab for each day (the date being the tab name, ex. '12.04.13'.) Tabs are continually added and removed to progress the calendar, and minimize file size. The column I am searching for duplicates in, is column L (or 12, however you wish to identify it.) If a duplicate value is entered, I want at the very least to highlight the value just entered, and the value elsewhere on the workbook, and if possible, have a msg box pop up stating the location of the other duplicate (or at least the tab (date) the duplicate is on.) The message box is more so for an in your face error check, with a built in GPS. Would it also be possible to only search from row 2 to 100, and ignore any further rows on each sheet?
The point of this, is to locate duplicates to make sure an appt has not been double booked, and both entries can be located to verify which entry has the correct information (carrier, delivery appt, etc.)
I have a spreadsheet that contains thousands of rows and I need to highlight all the duplicates in Column B.
What I need though is one group o duplicates to be colored one color and then the next group of duplicates be colored a different color. I need just a 2 color banding.
My need for 2 colors is that the cells contain 9 digit numbers and there can be duplicate groups right next to each other and for the eye to distinguish a different grouping of cells I need that 2 color banding.
I have the below code that colors everything in one color. Can I be modified or a completely new code to do 2 colors?
Code: Sub Dups() Dim Rng As Range Dim CL As Range
Set Rng = Range(Range("B1"), Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
For Each CL In Rng If WorksheetFunction.CountIf(Rng, CL.Value) > 1 Then CL.Interior.ColorIndex = 6 End If Next CL End Sub
I'm trying to find some vba code that will find dups on my worksheet and highlight them in a special way: first dup = bright yellow, second dup = bright green, third dup = bright red, and if there is a forth, fifth or sixth dup, then just increment color number to next one, than next, etc...
I would like for the code to run as soon as there is a change on the worksheet (when I finish entering data in a row). I think I already have the right code to do that:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) If Not Intersect(Target, Range("E9:E10000")) Is Nothing Then Call dupSearch End If End Sub I tested it out, seems to work as it should.
My major problem is that I need the code to check column F9:F10000 and compare the cells all along that column. That column concatenates 3 other cells in that same row (lastname&firstname&employee#), so if I run my dupSearch on that column only, I should find only real dups, and not just 2 people with the same name.
I also need to make sure it doesn't find empty cells, thinking they are dups. I would like to highlight column A to E of the row that contains the dup, and not just the cell in column F.
I have tried many other codes that I have found on the forum, but none of them work right with what I'm trying to do, and I just don't know enough VBA to make the changes I need.
I have a worksheet with 20+ columns. For this macro, I only need to focus on 4 of them. However, none of these columns are ever in a fixed position so the macro would need to find them by name and NOT by column position. Here they are...
1. Vacation Type (will only have a text value of either "Cold" or "Warm")
2. Vacation Started (will always have a date *x/xx/xxxx)
3. Vacation Ended (sometimes it will have a date '*x/xx/xxxx' and sometimes it will NOT have a date and will be truly blank)
4. Number of Days (currently has ALL truly blank cells)
THIS WHOLE MACRO SHOULD NOT BE CASE SENSITIVE ANYWHERE
Here's what I would like the macro to do...
Scenario 1 - for "Cold" values Find "Cold" text values in the "Vacation Type" column "Cold" values WITH a date in the "Vacation Ended" columnIF there IS a date in the "Vacation Ended" column in the same row, put the number of days difference between the "Vacation Started" column and "Vacation Ended" column in the "Number of Days" column.
The amount of days in the "Number of Days" column will determine whether these cells should be highlighted GREY or RED.
A) IF the number of days difference is 7 days or less, highlight the cells in the "Vacation Ended" column and "Number of Days" column RED. OR..............................
I need a code please that will look in Column C in every workbook (excluding the sheets “Blank”, “Orders”, “Summary” and “Archive”) and then it will highlight duplicates in Red and Bold.
I found the following code but I need it so it looks on every page excluding the ones mentioned above.
How can i highlight cell "TE001 in 6/19/14" to red color if it duplicate value within the same day, but will not highlight cell "TE001 in 6/20/14" if not in the same day...
My pallet lost color-coding - if I hover over each little scare it displays the names for the colors and if I click on them they color the cells with the right colors, but the palette itself lost the visual display of colors except for 8 colors: black, blue, red, magenta, yellow, cyan, and white.
I use color-coding of cells a lot and I find it difficult to work without visual clues. At least the hover-support allows me to get the work done, but with difficulty.
I am unsure if I would even need VBA to do this. I am trying to find a way to highlight all cells in column AO that have duplicate phrases and transfer just the phrase over to column CF. Ex: A cell containing "She didn't listen" and a cell containing "They didn't listen" would highlight and "didn't listen" would move over to Column CF. Would it be possible to do this without specifying the exact phrase?
see attached sheet. Column A has File Name. Need to highlight the duplicate data as you can see there is 2 duplicate data which i have manually highted ( C19 is duplicate of C12, C83 is duplicate of C84).
how to even start this macro but i will like the macro to find duplicate with thin the same row and highlight it i have done with conditional formatting but the spreadsheet is about 3000 rows excel performance is super slow if anybody has a macro out there.
I'm during a spreadsheet for the Local Government and the task is Hard Rubbish Collection. Residents only allow to have their hard rubbish collected twice a year but sometimes, some cheeky residents have their rubbish collected for the third time in a year without us knowing it
This is the code I've found in this forum (thanks to rylo) but it only works on active sheet ...
I would like to: 1 - Highlight the row for the first duplicate/single "Ana M." 2 - Then skip the next duplicate/single row "Jane S." 3 - Then Highlight the row for next duplicate/single "Sam" 4 - .... and so on.
Sample Data: NameStreetPhone Ana M.12 A St333-3333 Ana M.23 Z St333-3333 Jane S.12 A St555-5555 Jane S.15 Z St555-5555 Sam A.55 A St222-2222 Tony J.45 A St444-4444 Tony J.11 B St444-4444 Tony J.66 Z St444-4444
i have a series of colums in which i have a formula for checking if each proceding row has the same value in the cells above ie duplication. i am using the following formula = if(and (C4=C3),(D4=D3),(E4=E3)),"yes","") although this seems to work ok, some of the cells in colums D & E are empty. what should i do to check for this.
what i am attempting to do is check for duplicate rows where the row is only a duplicate if the previous row is identical.
I have a spreadsheet with columns A to W populated with data and 2470 rows Column A has email addresses in it (2470 rows) Column B has email addresses that are bad and are duplicated of those found in Column A there are only 345 of them in column B.
I would like to compare columns A and B and highlight the email addresses in column A that are also found in column B.
OR: If column A has a duplicate found in column B I would like the word delete to be inserted into column C of that row so I can review and then delete later.
this two column compare for duplicates and I manage to highlight (actually not bold) the number that is duplicate but I dont want to highlight the 2nd, 3rd & so on duplicate number in c3 (highlight 1 only from the 3 numbers most of the times got 2 only) . (row start from c3 to c2000 and d3 is up to d2000 also). I already use CF for highlighting the duplicate in C3 which my formula in CF is
=IF(ISERROR(MATCH(c3:c3,$c$3:$c$780,0)),"",c3:c3) I just try to do this formula and it works, but I dont know how to command not to highlight the 2nd, 3rd & so on duplicate number in C3 (C3 only can have duplicate number within the column; D3 doesn't have any repeat number in the D column.
I need to do the same formula command for other 2 partner columns (compare for duplicates this two columns & the 1st column if have to many duplicates highlight the first number that have more than 1 duplicates only) cells need to do again is for E3 & F3; G3&H3; until AU3&AV3..
is it possible to count how many highlighted cell (not bold) there is in a column (I mean total highlighted cell) and put the answer in cell C1, E1, G1, I1 ... AS1 , AU1. Tq again..
I managed to find this great bit of code some time ago and would now like to add to it. The code basically identifies any duplicates in column A and then lists the results in a message box,e.g.:
Duplicate Name: REF12345 Rows: 2,3
Works great for 1 or 2 duplicates but if there are many it becomes quite difficult to keep track. I'd like keep the code as is but add highlighting to the identified cells.
