Using Macros To Find Duplicates In Two Spreadsheets?
Apr 19, 2014
I run an online baseball league, and the game I use to simulate our games has issued a new version which has updated ratings for all the baseball players. I have exported rosters from the new game and rosters from my online league to .csv files and what I want to do is find which players are duplicates in both files and line them so that I can scroll both files simultaneously and update my online league file easily. I also want the non-duplicate players to be sorted below the duplicates so I can deal with them later. Someone on the other forum posted some dynamic named range code and two macros and gave me some vague instructions on how to use the codes. I have posted the codes below with their instructions:
I need to lock the macros in spreadsheets at work.
If I go to Developer>Macros I can edit any of the macros.
So to protect them I went to Visual Basic>Tools>VBA Project
What I don't understand is that there is already a password there.
How it is possible that I can edit any of the macros under Developer>Macros when there is a password which I haven't entered under Visual Basic>Tools>VBA Project
Is there a way to automate the importing of macros into a list of files ? I have a number of files that I want to add some code to and was wondering if this could be automated as opposed to adding the code to each file manually as it's going to be a regular job.
I've written a routine to loop through the list of files and open them, I just want to know how, if possible, i can automatically import the required macros.
I need to identify the errors, duplicates, typos and such between two spreadsheets of over 4000 rows of data each. The Macro: I got a macro working, but it's not perfect. So far, it can only tell data that's missing on spreadsheets A, or B. However, it can't tell which are the duplicates, typos, etc. Please look at the sample for more details. The code is included in the sample. And for your convenience, it's right here:
Sub difference_general() Dim frontcount As Long Dim backcount As Long Dim diffcount As Long Dim nosrcflg As Boolean Dim front_ref As String Dim back_ref As String Dim anydiffflg As Boolean Dim ftnotexistflg As Boolean Dim invnotexistflg As Boolean Application. ScreenUpdating = False Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual Sheets("Diff").Select Cells(1, 1).Select Rows("2:65536").Select Selection.Delete Shift:=xlUp Cells(1, 2).Select............................
I have two spreadsheets, which have over 10,000 entries and I am trying to compare them both for duplicates. I would like to know whether or not there is any VBA coding which will allow me to copy a cell from one spreadsheet and look for it in the other spreadsheet.
The major problem which I am facing is the information which I am trying to look for is constantly changing and therefore is more or less unknown to me. I am hoping for some VBA coding which will allow me to copy whatever is in cell A1 and find it in the other spreadsheet which I have, and then do the same for A2,A3 and so forth.
I have two spreadsheets. Spreadsheet 1 has 6 columns and column E has a list of numbers. It runs from E2:E739.
Spreadsheet 2 has 9 columns and column A has the numbers I need matched against. Column A runs from A9:A5027. How can I find the numbers from Spreadsheet 1, Column E that are also in Spreadsheet 2, Column A. Once matched I would like to highlight the ROW on spreadsheet 1 that has a match.
I am using "FIND" method for comparing two columns in 2 spreadsheets. So if cell value in sheet1 matches with cell value in sheet2 then copy multiple columns from sheet2 to sheet1 (similar to what VLOOKUP does but I need to return multiple values if the comparison is true).
Values that I comparing are in Column A in both the sheets. Is match I need to return values from about 20 columns (from sheet2 to sheet1). One value that I am returning is in Column B, I was able to get that working. but other values are in columns starting from M. I do not know how to get those values from Sheet2 to Sheet1.
Following is the portion of code that deals with this FIND method
Code: Set wsTools = Worksheets("AllTools") Set wsToolParts = Worksheets("Tools and Parts")
Set ToolPartsRange = wsToolParts.Range("A2:A" & lR) Set AllToolRange = wsTools.Range("A2:A" & lR3)
For Each ToolPartsCells In ToolPartsRange
[Code] .....
As you may notice that the following line brings next column (B) back but I do not know how to get other column values. They are in columns from M to Z
I have a sheet with numbers in descending orders with duplicate in one row and their respective value in 22nd row. I want to find the2nd occurrence of that value. (max. occurrence2 is 2)
I have a number of tables that may or may not have multiple dupliate enters, I am trying to indentify by name and by date. None of the tables are in the same format, which makes it ever harder for me, but all I want is a return of "duplicate" or "original", this will allow me to have acloser look at the duplicates.
I have excel sheets that will show a customer account number an ammount they need to pay and there full name and a date when the payment is expected, is there a formula that will find duplicates, if the same entry has been put in twice
I’m looking for a code that finds all duplicate words in column A & B and change the font of the found duplicate word in column B to ColorIndex = 11 and .FontStyle = “Bold”
I need this code to run frequently and possibly we can combine it with http://www.mrexcel.com/board2/viewto...272792#1272792
The wb is a dictionary and as I’m adding new words in new rows the wb needs to update. It is of course mostly important it updates when I open the wb, but it would be interesting if it could update for every new row (word) added as I might not want to close and re-open the wb just for this.
I have a long list of checks and I need to find the duplicates, determine how many dupicates there are for a given check (the criteria is if the ENTIRE ROW is dupicated), and highlight HALF of the duplicated rows.
I am able to sort the table however needed.
Here is the logic I was thinking of following..
If Row is Duplicated Select Case Boolean Case True Count how many are duplicated If count is even then NumberToDelete = Count*0.5 For i = 1 to NumberToDelete Highlight one of the duplicated rows in red background Next i Else Next Record (do not highlight anything) End If Case False 'Nothing End Select End If
I'm trying to find duplicates in one particular column. I'm using this formula =if(countif($A$1:$A:$300,A1)=1,FALSE,COUNTIF($A1:A1,A1)=1) in the conditioning format tool but here's my problem:
I'm noticing that some of the cell values have spaces after the entries so the formula is not picking it up as a duplicate. Is there a quick way to remove those unwanted spaces after each entry?
I need to find duplicates subnet information in row F and mark the words "Duplicate" Then I need to do the same with Row K. I need to find any duplicate subnet masks.
The reason for this is that I merged two orginizations into one spreadsheet and I need to find the duplicates in Company A and Company B's subnet and mask information.
Macro in Excel to search a column from workbook1 in another workbook2.
Example:
Workbook1> Sheet1>Column1 has many account#.
Workbook2> Sheet1, Sheet2, Sheet3 > Column1 also as account# & Column2 has Name of the the client's
What i want to do is for each account# on workbook1, search in all the worksheets in workbook2 for and copy the name of the client on column 2 and paste in workbook1 IF FOUND. if not found skip, leave it blank and continue to search for the next account#.
I would like to obtain a table in the following format where I can find
ID HostLocation NDaysinHost marina.silva USA, Norway, Bolivia, Italy, Ecuador... 100,45,67,8,9... tatiana.gottig Venezuela, Chile, Peru, Canada 89,54,32,6
Searching in the net I found the following code:
VB: Sub groupConcat()Dim dc As Object Dim inputArray As Variant Dim i As Integer Set dc = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary") inputArray = WorksheetFunction.Transpose(Sheets(1).Range("A2:C9").Value)
[Code]....
However I only obtain the first two columns concatenated. It says that for more columns repeat the loop, however I did and the result was not the expected, it returned me the same two columns again concatenated. How can I arrange this to fit my criteria?
I have a sheet which contains more than 8000 names (in 1 column), & another sheet which contains around 600 names (in 1 column), is there any way wherein i can compare both the columns & find out duplicates if any?
Sheet which contains 8000 names contains duplicate cells as well, but dat doesn't matter, i jst need to compare & confirm the sheet which has 600 names should be unique (Not included in 8000 data)
I want to search a worksheet for rows that share the same value in two columns (columns C and E). See the attached excel file.
I have highlighted in yellow some rows that have duplicate values in row C and E. So in this case rows 14 and 19 will be hidden but rows 13 and 17 will still be visible.
Note that this must work properly reguardless of how the data is sorted.
In other words, there can never be more than one row that has the exact same value for both column C and E.
I'm supposed to find duplicates in sheet_1 Q6:Q251 and copy one of each to sheet_2 D6:D243 as well as unique values from the same column. In a sheet_1 B6:B251 I have values related to Q6:Q251 and I have to copy each of them to sheet_2, E6:I6 in the same row as the related duplicate (I'll have max 5 duplicates). You can find attached simple example of what should be the result (sheet_2)
I have two worksheets (sheet1(1687 rows), sheet2(767 rows)). Both have part numbers in Column A
I want to be able to search Column A for duplicates found in the other worksheet. When it finds those duplicates, iw oudl like for the Part Number(columnA) and the cost(column D) to be pasted onto a third worksheet (sheet 3)
I have found lots of similar things out there, but nothing that does what I want.
I will do this Each Monday morning. I am ok with VB but what takes me 3 weeks sometimes takes you guys 10 min.
Let's imagine I have many informations about 'Domains' such as Emails, phones, etc. My lists are long and it happens very often that I have the same domain (row) many times. No way to remember each time if I already filled the informations for this specific domain before.
THat's why I want to know if there is a way that ALL the informaitons on the Row of : Domain A will automatically be copied to another row where it will find another Domain A
The Conditional formatting (highlight duplicates) do part of the job by telling me where are the duplicates, but i need the other infos to be copied.
I have one workbook with two sheets. The first sheet contains the data in columns A & B. In Column A there are a number of values that are the same eg: A1,2,3,4,5 all equal "Home" A6,7,8 equal "Work". In column B there are "Comments" none which are the same.
I need a VBA that will search down column A in sheet one and find all the "Comments" for "Home" and transpose paste the comments into sheet 2 so A1 will be "Home" B1 will be the first comment, C1 the second comment, D1 the third comment and so on.
My sheet one will contain about 1000 different values in Column 1, so I need it to search for duplicates rather than the text "Home".
I work with large spreadsheets. I was hoping that someone would know how to create a macro that will take selected cells in column C and search all of column C for exact duplicate entries. The macro envisioned would let you select cells to test. If a dulicate entry is found I would need the macro to test the cells in column E against one another. If both C & E match exact (if possible maybe display the findings in a pop up box) I would like the macro to ask me if I want to delete the duplicate entry, if yes, delete the entire row. If no, skip it and move to the next one. If C but not E match I would need the macro to ask me to remove test cell. if yes, cut out the entire row of the TEST cell and paste it in a new sheet. If no skip it and move on. Am I just dreaming or can this be done.
I have one column ("Account Number"). Each cell in this column has some combination of 8 numbers (all formatted as "General"). Here's what I need:
If an Account number appears once in said column, do nothing. If an Account number appears 2,4,6 (any EVEN amount) times, make it a red font color. If an Account number appears 3,5,7 (any ODD amount) times, make it a green font color.
What has been tried: Using the "Conditional Formatting" tool in Excel slows up the spreadsheet way too much (it's a big file).
What I need to do is write a macro that will find duplicates in Column A, within a changeable tolerance, say 0.1 (10%).
After finding all duplicates within a tolerance in A, I need to make another "Master" worksheet with the Duplicates from A, and their counterpart in B. So if A1 and A4 where within 10% of each other, the "Master" worksheet would contain:
A1 B1 A4 B4
using the values, giving:
1020.00242-89.84 1021.494-80.41
I tried using SUMPRODUCT and some other functions but just can't seem to put my finger on this one. I'm sure it's not hard and am overlooking something.
