Comparing List Of Cells To Each Other Using Macros
Jan 28, 2010
I have a list of authors for about 20 papers. These Papers are listed in sequential order from 1999 to 2005.
I want to track the number of similar authors from paper to paper. Thus I am attempting to create a macros that has the Papers listed sequentially when they were published and the authors for each paper, with the authors name in each cell. I want to create a macros that will compare the Author Cells associated to lets say the Fifth Paper with the Author Cells for the Fourth Paper (the Previous Paper). So that if certain authors come up in the Fifth Paper that were in the Fourth Paper, the # will be noted.
I also want this macros to compare all the Author Cells that have appeared in the past with that of the author cells of the (N) paper excluding the (N-1) Paper, and just note the # of occurences. So using the previous example. If we are talking about the Fifth Paper, it will look through Papers #1-#3 for any matching keywords and note the number.
I have attached my spreadsheet to make it more clearer. For some papers there are more than 20 authors as well just to note.

let's say there's a range of cells A3:C10. Some of the cells will have a number in them. I want to compare the numbers in that range to a fixed list of numbers, let's say 1-10. After comparing the numbers in the range with the numbers in the fixed list I want excel to list the numbers that don't match. In other words if the range contains 3,7,8,9, I would want to return 1,2,4,5,6,10 as the answer either in one cell or a group of cells. I know this can be done, just can't do it in an elegant way. I would have to use a lot of steps when I'm sure there's a few simple lines of code.

I would like to be able to compare the "standards" in Column A with the Assessment status in Column B and the Assessment period in Column C in order to generate a compact list in another workbook (ideally) or tab (if not). A list might typically contain all the standards that have been M (mastered) during a given Assessment period. I realize that filters would achieve this to a large extent but I was hoping to automatically populate another worksheet or tab.

Is there a way to hide a macro from the list where you choose which to run, but not in the VBA editor? The userbox I just created calls upon 2 different macros, and has a macro to bring up the userbox. I need a way to hide the macros in Module3 from selection, but keep the macros in Module4 available to choose to run.

I am constantly given the task of comparing to list of names that come from different sources. One source(SourceA) provides the names in a two Cols as first name and last name. Luckily Source A usually just has first and last name list but sometimes they have a third name or middle initial included and it could be in the first Col or the second no real pattern. The second source(SourceB) provides their list as a single Col and it has every given name for the person including suffixes and prefixes. A couple of examples of Source B names would be-"John Henry David" or "Dr. Billy Bob Adams Barone Beard IV".
I have spent countless hours and days probably weeks on some list as there are anywhere between 20-50,000 names per list I am sent. I am hoping there is a better solution to compare these names. As of right now the only thing I can do right now is manually trim the data from SourceB down to a format like "John David" and "Billy Beard" and then combining the Cols from Source A into the same format and then comparing them.

My problem is this: I'm looking to compare a single postal code (in the left most column below) against an entire list (rightmost column) and see if there are any matches. Normally this would be very easy, except that the postal code list I have (on the right) is all partials (it only includes the first 4 characters of the postal code). I need the formula to register a match if thewhole postal code I'm testing has the incomplete postal code I'm testing for in it at all.
So far I've tried using VLOOKUP, MATCH, and IF with no luck. I don't think wildcards work in these functions... (otherwise this would be quite easy!)
POSTAL CODE
LIST TO CHECK AGAINST
SM6 0PH
AB31
AB107JR
AB32
[Code]...

I've got a list in "column A" of around 6000 lines which contains key words which I want to extract to "Column b" if It matches but it can match on more than one word .
e.g
List
Six Nations Ireland v England
FA cup Semi Final Chelsea v Liverpool @ Old Trafford
Criteria Sample
Ireland
England
Chelsea
Liverpool
Ideally I would like to extract the first Town/Country as this is where the event is held unless the @ symbol is used then it's the last Toen/Country as in the FA cup example.

I have our company telephone accounts and im trying to highlight any numbers that are not on our approved dialling list. What I would like to happen (ideally) would be for a formula to look at the cell next to it and compare it with the approved numbers list, if it doesn’t appear on the list then it would do something to let me know, like put a big red X in the cell (if it could make me a cup of Tea instead that would be better).

I am trying to make a Macro that will search through a folder on my PC and look for file names with a string such as shown below:
The issue i am facing is that many of the files have duplicates.
I need it to check to see if the number of duplicates in Column E for each file name have the same amount of duplicate files in the actual folder... and if they don't I need the rows(s) highlighted Yellow.
Example: Say I run this macro.. and there are only 2 files in the folder that start with "BH1003".. as there is 3 instances in column E.. the 3 rows that have "BH1003" in them should all highlight..
I have added my code so far below also, but it only highlights each row Yellow if it finds an instance of the string in column E.. I don't know how to get it to count and compare....
Code:
Private Sub CommandButton3_Click()
'Search Folder for files - Highlight Yellow if Exists - Highlight Red if NOT Exists.
Dim r As Long, lastRow As Long
With ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet
'get last row
[Code]...

I have built a series of macros and want to be able to select from them in a drop down list. I can use a list or combo box to create the drop down list, but I am unsure how to write VBA to read the text and run the correlating macro (name of macro is identical to text shown in drop down list).
If this isn't possible, I would have to create a button for each of my 12 macros. How do I assign a macro to a button?

Is there a way to compare two cells and return true if they are the same, false if different? There is text and numerical data. As a side note, can anybody recommend a lightweight reference so I can sit for an evening or two and at least get an idea of what excel can do?

I need to compare a value to several cells and print the value into a new cell if and only if the value is not in any of the cells I am comparing to.
Say cells A1, A4, A8 and A12 contains different numbers. I want to compare a value, say 120, to the values of the above cells and if it is not contained in one of those cells I want to enter 120 into cell A16. If A1, A4, A8 or A12 contains the value 120 I want to leave A16 blank or write 0 to it.
Is there an easy way of doing this? Right now I am using a if-test for each of the cells I am comparing to, but this gets very messy as the number of cells increases.

how to compare two cells (say, today's date with the date an order was supposed to be sent out), with a third cell that either has a tick in it, or nothing. If there's an easier way to do this other than VB code, I haven't found it. I tried conditonal formatting but it wouldn't let me have a condition in which it just checked the third cell, it needed to compare it with the selected one.

I have never used or created a Macro before. I have worked out how to record one etc. What I would like to know is, is it possible to design a macro and whenever an excel workbook is opened it will list all the Macro's you have created so that you can just action on any sheet or work book.

Newbie user of VB. I need some assistance on a project. I have a form that uses a validation list ( cell c5) to populate other cells (c6, c7, c8, h5) using Vlookup.
This part works fine. On the list is an "other" choice which I need to initiate a textbox macros which would accept user input and populate the same cells with the entered data once a cmd button is selected. I’ve tried redefining my variables as ranges or strings with the same inconclusive results. The code as it stands looks like this:
Private Sub Worksheet_change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim Vname As String
If Intersect(Target, Range("c5")) Is Nothing Then
'do nothing
Vname = Target.Value
If Vname = "" Then
'do nothing
If Vname = "Other" Then Newvendin.Show
End If
End If
End Sub
Using this code doesn’t initiate the event.
Newvendin is the userform to enter new data only if “other” is selected. CmdEnter is the enter button on the userform with textboxes in it. I’m having a bit of trouble with it’s code as well.
Private Sub cmdEnter_Click()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Worksheets("OSP Parts List")
ws.Cells("c5").Value = Me.Vname.Value
ws.Cells("c6").Value = Me.Vadd1.Value
ws.Cells("c7").Value = Me.Vadd2.Value
ws.Cells("c8").Value = Me.Vcont.Value
ws.Cells("h5").Value = Me.Vphone.Value
End Sub
The Vxxxxx are the textboxes.
I get type mismatch errors using this code.
I would like it to populate the value typed into the textboxes into the indicated cells.
Final question and it’s probably stupid. If you have more than one Private Sub Worksheet_change(ByVal Target As Range) sub on your worksheet, how do you change the wording on each so that it won’t cause an Ambiguous name detected error?

I have two excel files. The data is arranged by column. I want to take 3 or more cells (from three different columns) from a particular row and match them up with three cells (in 3 different columns but in the same row). The three cells should be in the same row. However the matching row may appear in a different order in each of the two lists. When Excel finds a match, I want it to return true. How can I go about doing something like this?
I have attached a file explaining what I mean. I am trying to match the three cells in list one with three cells in one of the rows in list 2. However the number of cells in each list is different and there are some cells in list 2 which are not in list 1 and vice versa. There may also be extra columns, which I have not included for the sake of simplicity.

I would like to make a macro which compares the content of the same cells in two worksheets which are in the same workbook.
More clearer I have a workbook with two sheets (Sheet1 and Sheet2). What I would like the macro to do is to check cell A1 in Sheet1 and compare it to cell A1 in Sheet2 and so on till the last cell (IV65536). If there is a differnce between the two cells, then it should highlight the background of the cell in Sheet1.
I know that there has been similar requests on this forum (I searched and read them) but thew were different.

I was wondering if someone can at least point me in the right direction with respect to comparing two numbers within a value in two different cells. For example:
If one cell has the value "AB123456"
And the cell below it has a value of "AB124658"
I want to be able to determine the difference (with VBA code) between both cells by just looking at the fourth and fifth characters ("23" and "24", respectively) in each cell value.

I have a spreadsheet that has long text sentences in each cell. I have a 2nd spreadsheet which is a slightly updated version of the first spreadsheet. The slight updates consisted of editing the odd word here or there out of the first spreadsheet.
Unfortunately, I didn't keep track of the changes I made, and I need to know what they are.
It's easy to tell if a change has been made, simply by comparing the cells. But I can't find an easy way to find out exactly what change was made. Comparing the cells a line at a time is very time consuming.

I have a Workbook with two Sheets MAIN and STATS
Col A in both sheets contain text values (names)
I need a macro which will:-
Look at each name in Col A MAIN sheet.
See if there is a match in Col A of STATS sheet.
If there is a match then enter "YES" in Col E
e.g Smith Eddie is is in the Cell A20 MAIN sheet, Smith Eddie is in Cell A55 STATS sheet, so Enter "YES" in Cell E55 STATS sheet.

Example:
Sheet 1, cell A1 = 12/11/2009

If I need to do something based on condition that Sheet1 date = sheet 2 date, how will the code be written? I have
If Sheets("Sheet1").range("A1") = Sheets("Sheet2").range("B1") Then
