I need to create a formula that will look at a p/n find its match and add the value from all matching p/n together. After this is done, all of the line items that matched I need them to turn red. But I do not want the first p/n to turn red. It is better explained in my example.
View 12 RepliesMy background is many years of Access VBA. From time to time, I'm called upon to work in Excel. I am not that familiar with the library.
I'd like to know if it is possible to do the following:
Examine Column 1 and, for each like value, examine Columns 2 and 3 for duplicate values. Highlight or conditionally format the duplicates in Columns 2 and 3 (again, for each like value in Column 1).
Being that I've coded Access applications for quite some time, I am sure it can be done...I just don't yet know exactly how. I've searched the archive for and found some examples which deal with duplicate data, but have found none yet which quite fit my scenario.
I've found sample code which enforces rules and conditionally formats cells when new data is added. It works fine and I understand it. I'm hoping the kind soul who might help me with the above can explain how I might do both things on the code page.
I assume the Worksheet_Change Event would contain the "enforcement" code.
Below is some sample data
Column A is the START date/time
Column B is the END date/time
What I'm looking at doing is high lighting any cell where the START and END dates clash.
Is this possible via CF?
If possible highlight the START cells where a clash occurs.

I can't follow the directions on http://www.ozgrid.com/Excel/highlight-duplicates.htm to make the conditional formatting work. The formula they say to use is = COUNTIF($A$1:$A$100,A1)>1. I've changed the range to read=COUNTIF ($F$10:$G$999,F10)>1 and have applied a format change of the text color. It is obvious I have duplicates but they are not changing color. I have the range highlighted before I go to conditional formatting.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a worksheet that has times based on 7 minute intervals. If I post 10:37 AM in cell b5 then again in cell b6 I would like b6 to highlight.
I'm trying to use countif($b$3:$b$15,b2)>1 to highlight duplicate times in column B. For some reason it will not work for me. Should I use something different?
I know it can be done cause I've used it before but I can't seem to make it work this time. I want to use the conditional formatting to compare two ranges of cells within one worksheet I know it's something like =match(A2:C12) the two ranges are sitting one on top of the other. . .
View 4 Replies View RelatedI use the conditional formatting of duplicates within a column quite often. Now I am trying to highlight duplicates based on multiple cells in the same row. I can't seem to get a formula to make that work. I have four cells in separate columns but the same row, for example H2:K2, H3:K3, H4:K4, etc. I would like to highlight the four cells in that row if there is a duplicate of all four cells in another row. So if one, two or three cells are duplicates in the same column I do not want to highlight any of the cells, it should only highlight the group of four cells if all four cells are identical in another row. Pretty much the same way the default highlight duplicates works, just the value is spread across four cells.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI would like to identify duplicates in a list using conditional formatting in Excel 2007.
I have tried choosing to identify duplicates using the formula that I have found on many threads throughout the message board:
=COUNTIF($A$1:$A1,$A1)>1.
This function works up to 15 characters in a cell, but Excel seems to be treating all digits after the first 15 as the same, resulting in a "fuzzy match" where I want an exact match. Many of the values in my list are 18 characters long, in text format to prevent rounding.
I've noticed that Excel treats the 18-characters values the same way when sorting; for example, it treats these two values as the same:
'234567891011121314
'234567891011122413
Is there a way to force Excel to examine those last four digits for the purpose of sorting & identifying duplicates?
Using Excel 2007 and conditional formatting, how would I find duplicates across all fields in the table, similar to the "remove duplicates" tool that in default mode selects all the fields or offers the option to select fields of choice. I need to look at all the fields.
I've tried concatenation, but only with a limited number of fields; larger amounts slow the process to a crawl. If my table is 10,000 records with 15 fields, what process would I use to highlight the duplicates. How about something in VBA?
A little background on what i am doing. I have a spreadsheet that tracks when i have blown the dust out of our computers. I have set up conditional formatting so that the text turns red after 300 days and the cell turns yellow after 600 days. However, some computers are in high dust environments. I would like the spreadsheet to tell me to blow the dust out of these sooner. see the attached sheet.

Is it possible to change the format of cell AI3 based on the format of cell C3 and D3? I have C3 and D3 set to turn red based on what is in cell C2 and D2. I would like the following done:
If AI3=C3 & C3 is red, format AI3 blue
If AI3=D3 & D3 is red, format AI3 blue
Otherwise, leave AI3 unformatted.
Possible???
1. Identifies the duplicates and cuts and pastes them into a different sheet
2. Deletes the "email to friend" link (not showing up on the sheet here) Its a javascript button. This button only is on random ones, not all of them.
3. Changes the layout of all the text to horizontal ie name, title, email, url, company.

In column C, I have a list of phone numbers of some 10,000 items. In column F I have 50 telephone numbers. I need a formula or a conditional formatting solution that will allow me to mark/indicate/color those numbers in column C that are in column F.
I would prefer to do this without a VBA solution.
Is there "code" for different formatting in a spreadsheet so you can use an IF statement to do something like:
if(A1=blue background,"Yes","No")
or
if(A1=red text,"Yes","No")
etc.?? But replace "blue background" and "red text" with some sort of number code? I want to compile a list of the items that are formatted with certain background colors and/or text colors and then organize only those items into a chart.
Any VBA that I can put into a macro that will convert conditional formatting into fixed formatting..? So when the cell contents/formulas are deleted the formatting remains. Assume that the range I want to convert is A1:D200...

I have a hard time when it comes to "If then" statements and conditional formatting. I have some data that I am collecting and entering into a spreadsheet for a couple different companies. Once I receive paperwork from those companies for the data collected I mark the data with a blue colored text. I would like to have a second sheet that generates what companies have not sent me their paperwork. "If the data is black text, then generate <name of company> on second sheet." The list is small right now, but as the project continues it will grow very large and it will become difficult to track. I will attach a copy of the spreadsheet for you to see the situation. I would like to learn how to do these types of formulas, is there a tutorial geared towards these types of situations?

if any other values other than the above mentioned then the cell format should remain as is.
I have my formulas in place and they are working. The reason why some are coming up with #DIV/0 is because I do not have the data to complete the calculation.
Is there a way to make the #DIV/0 error go away until I imput the data to complete the calculation? I was thinking there might be a way to do it with conditional formatting.
Sub Macro1()
With Range("A1")
.FormatConditions.Delete
.FormatConditions.Add Type:=xlExpression, Formula1:="=A1=B1"
.FormatConditions(1).Interior.ColorIndex = 3
.FormatConditions.Add Type:=xlExpression, Formula1:="=A1B1"
.FormatConditions(2).Interior.ColorIndex = 50
.AutoFill Destination:=Range("A1:A29"), Type:=xlFillDefault
End With
End Sub
If my active cell is NOT A1, the formula entered into conditional formatting is off. The range references get all messed up. For example, if my active cell is Say D5
Condition 1 is
=IT65533=IU65533
Condition 2 is
=IT65533IU65533
But if I run the code with A1 as my active cell, it gets entered correctly as
Condition 1
=A1=B1
Condition 2
=A1B1
