Finding The LAST Time Something Appears In A List?
Apr 17, 2009
I have a list of numbers in Column A (labeled "Number"), with a list of dates in Column B (labeled "Date & Time"). Every date in Column B is unique, but some numbers in Column A appear more than once.
I am trying to create a simple formula that will automatically search for the LAST time a unique number appears in Column A (ignoring all previous instances of this number), and copy the date right next to it in Column B to another location on another worksheet.
I tried fussing with several of the built-in functions, but I really don't know what I'm doing, and the built-in help documents are filled with too much mathematical/programmer technical terminology for me to understand. All the tutorials I've looked at seem to think I want to add some numbers together, but I don't want to do any calculations!

I have 12 worksheets, each with a list of email addresses in the 2nd column. These are all email addresses that did not respond by opening/clicking our newsletters. I'm trying to find how many times each person did not respond in the last 12 emails sent. I will delete those that consistently do not respond to our newsletters. I know how to do a simple vlookup but have never tried across multiple sheets.
So I guess I want it to check all sheets for each email address and count how many times it appears on these No Response email lists.
Column 1 is an email ID, Column 2 is an email address.

I have two very large data sets and I need to see if any of the values on one sheet (B2:B380975) appear on another workbook (B2:B216607).
I know that I can do this with COUNTIF, but it's going to take ages to calculate.
Current COUNTIF formula is:
=COUNTIF('[ORIGINAL.xlsx]data'!$B$2:$B$216607,B2)

I'm putting together some data for a pivot table.
In Column Q I have a list of products. In column E these products are listed a number of time (depends on the number of regions which may change). What I am looking to do is have column A show "1" the first time the item group is in the list, "2" the second time...up to 12. Basically I'm looking to have a month (#1-12) appear in column A next to the item. If there are 3 regions then then each item will appear in the column E list 3 times. I'd like each group of 3 items to have a "1" the first time they appear, "2" the second...etc.
Here's an example....
1 - Item#1
1 - Item#1
1 - Item#1
1 - Item#2
1 - Item#2
1 - Item#2
2 - Item#1
2 - Item#1
2 - Item#1
2 - Item#2
2 - Item#2
2 - Item#2
3 - Item#1
3 - Item#1
3 - Item#1
3 - Item#2
3 - Item#2
3 - Item#2

I trying to create a schedule on my 2002 excel. I placed all the times in HH:MM AM/PM format. But somehow...I don't know what I was doing...all the times instantly appear as decimals on the cells. The times I inputted still appears in the cell's formula bar. I tried changing the cell's format to my prefferred time format, but the cells wouldn't budge.

I have a very large spreadsheet and want to count the number of times a particular text string shows up in a column. I can't use autofilter due to the 1000 limit.
Here's an example, Column C contains:
Dan Parker
John Doe
Dan Smith
Jill Smith
So if I search on *Dan*, the function should return a count of 2.
I've used COUNTIF before to return values when the whole cell = a certain value but in my case the cell may have 200 characters and I want to count based on a fuzzy search. I would like to do this in a function and not a macro.

I'm trying to do a vlookup on a list of items where the item I'm looking up may appear more than once. when this happens it will only post the result of the first one it comes to in the list when I use the standard vlookup. does anyone know of a way I can get it to report all the results for a value that appears more than once?

I have attached an example spreadsheet that shows my problem. Basically, in column A I have several thousand rows of 3 or 4 letter codes. In column B, I need a formula that will find one particular target code in Col A and then in the adjacent cell in Col B, display the first code to appear in Col A above the target code which matches the list of desired codes.
So the briefly re-state the problem, I need a formula which finds every case of one particular code in Col A (in the example spreadsheet the code is ABCD), and then read back up Col A to find the first value which matches the desired code (from a list of about 5-10 codes), ignoring other values which represent codes that are not on the list, and place this col B adjacent to the target code.

I've tried to sort a list using the sort 1st by and then by options, but it will only sort by one of the options. I've tried with a header row, without a header row and every way I can think of and still can not get it to sort by more than one column on this particular list.

the number of days when there were 0 cases
the number of days there was 1 case
the number of days when there were 2 cases.
As yet there are no days in which there were more than 2 cases but there might be in the future.
I have a list of dates when operations took place in that room. On some days the it was not in use, so those dates don't appear in the list. Some days there was 1 case, so that date appears once in the list. On some days there were two cases, so that date appears twice in the list.
What I've done so far is create a pivot table that contains all the dates, then grouped it by day and counted the number of times there was 1 or 2 cases in a day by hand, then subtracted the total to get the days when there weren't any cases.

is it possible to do the following with a drop down list, without requiring VBA? I would like to have 20 products to choose from in a drop down box. When the user selects one of the products, a more detailed product description will appear in the same cell where the drop down list is. For ex: If the user chose "chair" from the drop down list, what I would like to appear in the same cell is "chair - model T654".

We are in the process of switching from running Excel 2007 under Windows XP to running Excel 2010 under Windows 7. Most of my Excel reports are not having any issues. However, I have several macros that cause Excel to crash when they go to save the file. Through trial & error, I have found that the problem seems to occur after deleting custom lists that were created earlier in the macro. Here's the pertinent code:
' Declare Variables
Dim VarListNum1
Dim VarListNum2
Dim VarListNum3
[Code]....
When I execute the macro line-by-line, it is creating & deleting the custom lists as expected. However, if I try to save the file after any of the custom lists have been created, Excel crashes. Has something changed in Excel 2010?

I have two lists of product data, one for buyers and one for sellers (these are listed as A, B, C). The product names are not exactly the same (Eg Playstation and playstation three should be matched), I would have thought using the FuzzyLogic add in to match these would be the way forward! I need to rank the sellers by how many of their items appear on the buyers list

I have a sheet which details specific card numbers in Column A, and the date and place of transaction in the Column B. This very long list contains multiple entries for each card number. What I would like to do is use Sheet2 to list each card number and the number of times it appears in the list.

I'm making a Excel 2013 spreadsheet that has formula in a column that auto enters a number 1-40 when something is entered to the left of that cell. There are 300 rows in the spreadsheet. I would like to make a drop down list in a column cell to the right that would delete that number in that cell from the drop down list. For example cell C1 has 39, that 39 then is deleted from the drop down list. C2 has 22 in it, click on the drop down list cell and it shows 1-40 less 39 and 22.

On Sheet 1 I have a list of employee names (John, Bob, Ross etc...)in column A and in column B I have a list of employee bonus points (1, 5, 3 etc...). On Sheet 2 I have the same setup but the list of employees on sheet 2 is a lot longer than the ones on sheet 1, all employee names are on sheet 2.
I need a macro that will go down to each name on the list on sheet 1, column A, and copy the employee bonus points then go to sheet 2 and find the that employees name in the list and paste the bonus points in column B. This must be done until the last name on sheet 1 is found and all points are copied to their corresponding names on sheet 2.

I want to count the number of times any given number appears either as a consecutive group or singularly.
To give you a context I monitor windturbines and for any given fault code I wish to count the number of events it occurs in a month. Now it could be for 1 hour then clear the next then back for 17 then claer again. That would be 2 events!
NB the data is in seperate coulumns per turbine.

I'm looking for a formula in relation to the calculation of time.What I'm looking for is a way of finding the difference between the time two cells and it displaying it in the number of hours e.g.:
Cell 1__Cell 2__Cell 3
12:00 + 18:30 = 6.5 (it is 6 hours 30 mins but I want it displayed as a number.

I am having trouble finding the difference between times. I have two cells, A1, A2. Times will be placed in there each day. A1 will have the first time and A2 will have a later time that day. i.e. A1 12:25AM, A2 2:45AM. A3 would have the formula. In this case I am looking for an answer of 2:00 (2hrs).
My second issue will be times when I have A1 11:20pm and A2 1:20am. I can't seem to get it to work.

How many time each item appear in specific range.
For example:
apple
banana
grape
apple
mangosten
orange
banana
banana
mangosten
In that list we should get :
apple=2
banana=3
grape=1
apple=2
mangosten=2
orange=1
banana=3
banana=3
mangosten=2
If I am using =COUNTIF(F6:F14,"apple") then I can get the result of apple.. and just keep changing underlined word but if then i have so many data, i cant do that.

Is there a way to get Excel to look down a column for a particular value and where that value appears hide the row it appears in?
We have a series of reports which all have the same template, however we don't want some customers to be able to see some of the products as these are own-label products for which aren't offered to everyone.
I'd like to add this as a macro to a combo-box so that the user can view a report for their customer and then send a copy to the customer with the knowledge they won't see anything we don't want them to...

I am creating an interactive tool in Excel.
One of the Fields is "Employee Name"
I created a validation list that includes the names "Mary, Joe, Michael, and David"
When I plug in the name "Mary" I want to pick out her qualifications from a list I have created on a separate worksheet.
Passport
Mary
Joe
David
Lunch
Mary
Joe
Michael
Car
Joe
Michael
David
I want Excel to have the ability to find the name "Mary" from those three lists and reply back to me with the headers of either Lunch, Car, and/or Passport based on the lists Mary appears in. I want this to change depending on the Employee Name and I pick and the lists they appear in.

I am currently trying to organise a student yearbook for my pupils at school. We have given out sheets to students in order for them to nominate their peers for various awards such as 'Funniest Student', 'Most Caring Student' etc.
I am trying to collate all of the data into an excel workbook. I have made two sheets within a workbook, which I have formatted how I want them to look like. I want to insert all the student's responses into one sheet, and somehow, the top 3 most occurring nominations are found and are inserted into the appropriate cells in the separate sheet.
I have attached a copy of the workbook. Due to data protection the student names and tutor groups have been taken out and replaced with the word "REMOVED", yet I will paste them back in at a later time. So feel free to have a play around to see what I am talking about! I have filled the table with some dummy data just so you can see what I mean.
I am not at all sure how I would go about picking out the top 3 most occurring names for each award, but once I can do that, I will be able to insert them into the other sheet. How to automatically produce the top 3 most occurring names.

Excel 2002
I have a number (22.3) in a cell that is there from an Hlookup function. I am then using a vlookup to lookup the 22.3 (from the hlookup) in a column. The number is in the column, but the vlookup function cant find it. If I were to type over my hlookup formula so that I am hand-typing in "22.3" instead of it being their from the hlookup, then the vlookup works just fine. I hope that is not too confusing. I dont understand what is going on. I checked to make sure none of my cells are rounding and therefore creating a look-alike number when it really isn't and that is not the case.

I know how to make customs lists, but it's not getting me anywhere.
Let's say I have a lot of data containing values as follows and in the following list I sorted them from small to large:
5a
5a+
5b
5b+
5c
5c+
6a
6a+
6b
6b+
6c
6c+
7a
7a+
7b
7b+
7c
7c+
8a
and so on... In the list, the date isn't sorted from small to large, many values (if not all) occur multiple times and on occasion some values are added to the column. With that last part I mean that you can see it as a batch of 500, and if so far the batch only contains 450 values there will be (for the time being until items get added) 50 empty cells in the column as well.
You can't order numerically or alphabetically. I know I can make a custom list and then just sort according to that custom list so the biggest value would come out on top or bottom but that's not what I'm looking for either, as the data needs to be sort by another colomn (dates in chronological order).
So I'm just looking for a formule saying "return the biggest value if the order of things is as I typed above'.
