Concatenate Varying Numbers Of Cells Based On Duplicates Found In Separate Column
Jul 25, 2011
I need to concatenate varying numbers of cells based on duplicates found in a separate column, but I'm not sure how to approach it. I have 41,000+ rows of data, so I have to find a formula.
Example:
1AB2Denton, PaulFB357D4D3OwensTest, MarcyFB539F934Brennan,
JosephFB539F935Bowser, AmyFB539F936LaRock, ChuckFB667D3B
Based on duplicates in column B, I want to combine the data in column A into one cell. The duplicates in column B could be only 2, or could be 20+.

I'm trying to conditionally format rows of data based on duplicates in the first column, then filter the results. I have a table of data with mutiple variables assigned to different "headings" that looks a little something like this:
A
B
C
D
[Code]....
[selects the table, then GoTo Special selects the blanks, fills in the blanks with the cell above, then Copy and Pastes As Values the entire table again to fill everything in]
I’m stuck on how to input a formula into the conditional formatting window that will:
Format the text to white in columns A, B, and E based on there being a duplicate above that row in Column A only. i.e. conditionally format the values with a * below:
A
B
C
D
E
[Code]....
If I use the conditional formula I found: =A1=A2, then cell E3 gets made white text when I don’t want it to, hence the “referencing column A” part of the question (Column A is always a unique ID number whereas Column E can have a duplicate in the row above). [Edit: Why can't I type Enter or put a line break here... I'll try re-edit at home...] When I go to filter on Column C for YYY again, the conditional formatting needs to realise to un-white the text, which is my next headache because it means conditional formatting that acts relative to hidden rows as a result of a filter... Oh and did I mention the client wants this done in 2003? This is an afterthought though – as I can force them to use 2010 if need be

I'm going to be using a spreadsheet to keep track of where different people are at. So if Person 1 is in Room 3, I will stick a 3 in the box next to their name and then can look at the spreadsheet whenever I need and see what room they are in. When I'm deciding what room to put a person in, though, I need to be able to quickly glance at a list of Room #'s and see what one's are still available. So I have a bank of Room #'s in the spreadsheet....1,2,3, etc.
What I'd like, is some way to set this up so that when I put, for example, "3" in the cell next to "Person 1" the spreadsheet automatically removes "3" from the bank of available Room #'s and when I delete the "3" because the person has left, it adds "3" back to the bank of available Rooms.

I currently have a spreadsheet that contains about 1700 lines of data related to ~400 different clients which I am looking to consolidate.
The data is currently in this format (a set like this repeated ~400 times with anywhere between 3 and 7 services):
Company ID #
Company Name
Service1
Company ID #
Company Name
Service2
Company ID #
Company Name
Service3
I would like to have the data in this format (one row per company with all of the services in the third column concatenated into a single cell, all while removing the duplicate rows.)
Company ID #
Company Name
Service1, Service2, Service3
How to create the code (or describe the process) necessary to do this?

I have an excel 2007 spreadsheet that lists
items on multiple rows for the same customer.
Each sheet will list anywhere from 25 to 100 individual customers.
I need to identify the duplicates, concatenate
the "Items" to a single cell on the first row, and
delete the duplicate rows. eg:
Cust #| Item
1 | A
1 | B
1 | C
2 | B
2 | E
3 | A
3 | C
3 | E
The result should look like:
Cust# | New Item
1 | A, B, C
2 | B, E
3 | A, C, E

I've been working on a spreadsheet that is used to track the application process of numerous clients. In doing this, I have a row at the top of each client that is used as a sumarry column. Below each cell in the top row, I have up to 30 non-adjacent cells that I'm trying to concatenate in the top cell separated by new lines. I'm also wanting to not display any duplicates, as there are up to only 5 steps that could be shown for each record. I found a UDF that will search an array and return only the unique values, but it accepts the data as an array, and it returns it as an array also. I seem to be having trouble passing the array from the sheet as well as formatting and returning the array with line breaks.
In the worksheet cell: ....

I need to detect 2 levels of duplication.
I have a data table that is similar to below (actual table is very large 1000+ rows) but duplicate column is empty.
I don't want to add additional data (i.e. formula to perform concatenate) to other columns as it takes a very long time even with screen updating turned off.
I want to use vba to
1) determine how many rows there are in the worksheet (this updates from an outside datasource)
2) Concatenate baseno & altno and determine if the concatenated value is duplicated
3) Within those duplicates for each baseno&altno pair determine if verno is different
4) Set "Duplicate" value for each duped baseno&altno pair where verno is different
So the end resulting table after macro runs would be
baseno
altno
verno
duplicate
[Code]....
I have been for weeks now and just can't get this to work. I can get it so that I can determine duplicates on one column but I can't seem to get it to concatenate inside the script and compare without writing back to the sheet (which is too slow and I don't want to do).

I'm using a formula to lookup names within text and return that name to a separate column if it's found.
The formula is =INDEX($E$1024:$E$1026,MATCH(FALSE,ISERROR(FIND($E$1024:$E$1026,E1010)),0))
I understand index and match functions, but I'm confused regarding the use of FALSE as the lookup value and the iserror(find( usage.

I have a column of contract numbers of varying length. I want to run a sumif of all of the values on my reference sheet that have the contract number beginning with the contract number in my listing. All of the the contract values in my reference sheet are very long. Since the numbers I am working with vary in length, i don't know how to match this string in the sumif function
I want something like this
=SUMIF('Reference Sheet!$A$5:$A$13410,LEFT("", LEN('Select Contracts'!$C6))='Select Contracts'!$C6,'FINALIZED DATA'!$H$5:$H$13410)
Is there a way to refer to the range in the sumif function,

I am attempting to have cells in Column 'U' deliver different drop-down menus based on the corresponding value in column 'D'. I have created 7 named lists:
List_117G
List_152
List_JMET
List_XBAND
List_PACWIND
List_VORTEX
List_ROVER
Those lists will be called up based on 7 values in column “D”:
“G”
“152”
“J”
“X”
“D/E”
“V”
“R”
So far I have only been able to get this to work for the first category “G”. When I change the value of column “D” from “G” to “152” I no longer get a drop-down. Here is the formula I am using in the List function of validation.
=IF(D6="G",List_117G,IF(D6="152",List_152,IF(D6="J",List_JMET,IF(D6="X",List_XBAND,
IF(D6="D/E",List_PACWIND,IF(D6="V",List_VORTEX,IF(D6="R",List_ROVER,)))))))

I'm trying to separate text from numbers into two separate cells...
Essentially, I would like the users to copy and paste data into Column A, as seen below. Then, hopefully by formula separate the text characters into Column B and the numbers into Column C.
Input: Output 1: Output 2:

Ideally, I would like to do this with a formula...

I have dollar amounts that I need to distribute amongst varying numbers of columns and not have have the total distributed be over or under the original amount by any number of cents. When I simply divide the dollar amount by the number of columns, the total of those columns can sometimes be more or less than the original dollar amount by a few cents.
e.g.
Dollar # of A B C All Columns
Amount Columns Total
--------------------------------------------------------------------
$25.05 2 $12.53 $12.53 $25.06
$11.47 3 $ 3.82 $ 3.82 $ 3.82 $11.46
$25.05 divided into 2 columns gives $12.53 in Column A and $12.53 in Column B. Total of Columns A and B is $25.06. Over by a penny.
$11.47 divided into 3 columns gives $3.82 in Columns A through C. Total of Columns A through C is $41.46. Under by a penny.
I know I could simply always add or take away the pennies from one column, but I would prefer the process to be random or formulated in such a way that the Column to which the extra pennies are added to or taken away from differs in order to be "fair to each column".

I need a mcaro to concatenate my project. I have 1 number in six separate cells that I need to be concatenated into a 3 digit number without duplicates. My data is in cells A4:C5 (six numbers) note that I have two duplicate numbers so the results should only yield (10) different 3 digit numbers, none repeated. The results could be displayed in one or two columns evenly.
My data in cells A11:C12 (six numbers) are all different so the results should yield (20) different 3 digit numbers, none repeated. The results could be displayed in one or two columns evenly. I also wanted to know will I be able to edit the macro to concatenate 5, 6, 7, 8 or even 9 numbers into 3 digit numbers without duplicates. If so, how can this been done? The results would be 5#'s:10 results; 6#'s:20 results; 7#'s:35 results; 8#'s:56 results;
9#'s:81 results.
I have included a sample file.

I have some data that is both text and numbers in the same cell. I would like to split the the data so that the text is in one column and the numbers are in another column.
The numbers are all a fixed length (15 chars) so I know that I can use the following formula = RIGHT(A1,15)
However I am not quite sure how to split the text as the length can vary as as well as the number of words in the string.
For example A1 is 1 word with 7 characters but A2 is 2 words, 14 characters long inc space.
A1 Goodwin 000710280740120
A2 Gillette Ridge 000715058510122
B1 Goodwin
C1 000710280740120
B2 Gillette Ridge
C2 000715058510122

I am trying to get a complete list of applications per device. I have the device list but it is broken down into seperate lines so i would like some sort of formula (not fussed what type as long as it gets the desired results!) that will look in column A and if the text is the same, to concatenate the info in column b, separated by a comma. So for the first device (4d713006) i would get 1 cell that would have the list of all 52 applications in it separated by a formula. This is so i can vlookup the device name from another sheet and pull through all the list of applications.
I have attached the data : example.xlsx

I need a formula to be placed in cell Col A, Row 1, that concatenates any and all cells in Col A, with a ';' separating each item. I only want this concatenation performed ONLY IF an adjacent cell in Col B contains the letter 'X.
Additionally, if the cell in Col A is null, then I the formula to ignore it, and not perform the concatenation.
Is there a way to do this formulaically?
