Group All Records Where The Values In Column A Are Equal
Dec 24, 2008
I need to group all records where the values in column A are equal. BUT I needed them sorted by another column (the whole sheet, not just within each group). Currently, all of the values in column A are listed in random order. Is there any way to do this manually?
to elaborate a bit further, consider the following:
Columns: A-B-C-etc.
1-Z...
1-X...
4-X
3-Y
4-Y
2-Z
Basically, I need to group all of the "1"'s and all of the "4"'s so that the extra values will show underneath the other. HOWEVER, I need them to be sorted such that the order in which they appear are XYZ. So the goal would be:
I have one Column (Col A) which has a list of values. In Col B I would like to filter out the values in Col A based on some criteria. For example, below I would like Col B to show all of the records in Col A where the LEFT six characters = "Active".
Col A: Inactive_Jim Active_John Active_Frank Inactive_Betty Inactive_Lucy Active_Tina Inactive_Jill Active_Tom
Col B would result in: Col B: Active_John Active_Frank Active_Tina Active_Tom
I'm sure this is elementary, but I can't seem to figure it out.
I'm attempting to count the empty cells in column C which correspond with the project reference shown in column A. I only want to perform this calculation where the project numbers change (see desired results in column D).
Am struggling with finding a way to define the different range of rows for each project ref within the formula. The full sheet has over 6000 rows and 1500 project refs.
I'm having trouble with a small vba macro. At the end of the macro I test to see if two variables are equal and then print out true or false. However, for some reason even though the variables are equal vba is not treating them that way. I have put the values that represent the variables on a spreadsheet and used the if(x1=x2) formula and it says it is true, also, when I debug the macro and watch the values when it comes to test the logical expression the numbers are the same. I don't understand why vba does not say that the two variables are equal. I have attached a screenshot of the breakpoint where I double check the values are equal.
I have this massive spreadsheet, with the maximum rows excel will fit on one sheet. In the interest of simplicity, this is what the raw data looks like:
Last First Amount
Jones Jim $1000 Jung Joe $700 White Jon $100 Jones Jim $200 Jones Jan $300 Jung Joe $800 White Jon $200
What I want to do is automatically get excel to group all the same names together. Then I want it to sum all the values for each name, then order by largest total value for each person, then order that by name alphabetically. In other words, the above would look like this after the sort:
Last First Amount Jung Joe $800 Jung Joe $700 Jones Jim $1000 Jones Jim $200 Jones Jan $300 White Jon $200 White Jon $100
Or, if necessary, there could be sum total rows under each name...although I don't have spare rows, so IDK. I could delete some rows if I had to, but would rather not.
One aspect of my Excel-based project involves comparing the operator-entered part number (in Excel) to a predetermined list of part numbers in one column of an Access database table. Right now, my program is telling me that every part number entered in the spreadsheet (50+) does not match any part number in the database, which I've verified to be incorrect. I've checked that both the spreadsheet part number and the database part number are of the string datatype.
To the best of my knowledge, my looping logic seems valid and robust. To the best of my knowledge, there are no hidden characters in either the database cells or in the spreadsheet cells causing this apparent mismatch. I'm completely stumped at this point as to why my program doesn't detect any matches between the spreadsheet and the database table. Below is the Sub containing the code for checking that the part numbers match:

This issue seems to be a hybrid issue between Excel and Access with (to me) more of the issue on the Access end.
Trying to find the sum of all cells in the array described in the formula that are equal to the values inside the quotations. I used this exact (as far as I can tell) formula to find the sum of values that were NOT equal to my quoted values and it worked just fine. Any ideas why formula 'A' will not work but formula 'B' does work? I have a feeling I'm missing something simple here!
Formula A - Does not work: =SUMPRODUCT(--('Master Lead Sheet'!$J$2:$J$10000=$B2),--('Master Lead Sheet'!$N$2:$N$10000="REJECTED"),--('Master Lead Sheet'!$N$2:$N$10000="CONDITIONED"),--('Master Lead Sheet'!$N$2:$N$10000="APPROVED"))
Formla B - Works: =SUMPRODUCT(--('Master Lead Sheet'!$J$2:$J$10000=$B2),--('Master Lead Sheet'!$N$2:$N$10000"No Answer"),--('Master Lead Sheet'!$N$2:$N$10000"Disconnected"),--('Master Lead Sheet'!$N$2:$N$10000"Wrong Number"),--('Master Lead Sheet'!$N$2:$N$10000"EMAILED"),--('Master Lead Sheet'!$N$2:$N$10000"needs to be emailed"),--('Master Lead Sheet'!$N$2:$N$10000"Refund"),--('Master Lead Sheet'!$N$2:$N$10000"REFUNDED"))
I need to look up the name in E2 in the list in column A and if it matches then lookup name in F2 in list column b, if it matches then the corresponding number in column C is displayed in column G. If neither names are in the 2 columns the words"Not on lists" is displayed in cell in column G.
The other problem is one name is spelled two different ways I want it to look for both spelling before moving on to looking up the second name.
I started with this formula but I'm getting #N/A or "not on list" when they are on the list. I'm using ranges prod_sum is columns AthruC, Last_name is range BthruC. =IF(AND(VLOOKUP(F4,prod_sum,3,0),VLOOKUP(I4,last_name,2,0)),"not on list")
I have a sheet where i want to delete duplicate rows where column A and column B combined are equal, i.e. range(Ax:Bx) where x is the current row. I am using the macro below but cant seem to get it working as I keep getting a type mismatch error and Im not sure why.
I've created the following function that chooses the maximum value from a set of cells then inserts theappropriate row number (within a table) into a new cell.
It's working fine until I have 2 cells with the highest value. The above statement is entering the first cell that meets the criteria in the new cell but ignores the fact there maybe 2 (or more) of the same value.
How can I get both (or all) to be entered in the same cell? Is there a better way, maybe highlighting all the rows in the table that equal the max figure?
I'm trying to figure out if there is a formula I could use that will calculate the average of a group cells in one column based on the condition of another column. It's hard to explain, so I will show an example. All the data is on a one worksheet and I'm trying to show totals and averages on another worksheet. Location, Days
17, 4 17, 3 17, 5 26, 4 26, 8 26, 10 26, 7
On a different worksheet I would want to know what the average days are for each location. So is there a formula that I could use that will look at column A for a specified location number and then average all the days in column B for that location? I'm using Excel 2003 and have tried using the Average(if) but with no success.
I've a worksheet that is 3750 rows of cells from A to DT and contains only numbers with the exception of a header row. The rows are in groups, primarily 4 rows, although there are exceptions - these rows are separated by blank rows. Small example as follows.
I have been trying to conditionally format each group of rows and each column and color the cell in each column of four (or less) numbers in each group that represents the maximum number. It was easy enough to come up with the conditional formatting BUT it will take forever to do this manually. I've been told to use a macro but I know nothing of programming. Has anyone seen or heard of a macro that might already be written to perform this onerous task.
I have a spreadsheet that has a number of values and a separate sheet that has a paid total. What would be the easiest way to find the values in sheet 1 that total the sum in sheet 2? There may be more than one possible solution as to the items that total the sum.
am currently setting up a fantasy football league.
i have set up the league, with team name overall points and position, my problem is that when 2 teams have the same points one team is omitted and the other team has its name on both entries
the formula's i am using are
vlookup = to find the name of team for the points large = to find out points of each team
i have data as ( name , Father name ,CNIC, and there salaries , but there is repeating in this data so i want to add their salaries to one name and delete duplication , it should be done in excel. this data is so long .
i've written the code below but somehow the output is not what i want.
i have a multiple records and each records contain 30 rows of info i have 3000 over records and they are all in one sheet. i need to find record using more than 1 criteria. I've written the code below. how to use VBA to search for particular strings in cells?
for e.g. A1 : hello A2 : world A3 : anyhow
i want to find the cell that contains "yh" using VBA, and the output should be in cells A3.....
I have a workbook with 2 sheets - [Names] has with a list of Staff Ids column B, [Access] has a list of their system acces - with their staff ids in column A and access in F (There could be more than 1 type of access),
I am looking to create a code that :
For each ID in [Names] B lookup in [Access] A
if found create a string with value in F ( so I have a list of all access )
And paste into F in [Names]
I have tried all sorts of things and just can't get it working.
I have to perform the sum of some values. In particular I want to sum only values that belongs to the same group (indicated by a value in a column) (see the attached file). how can I do it avoiding the pivots?
I want to do is insert a new blank line after each group of values eg
Column A Dave Dave Dave Richard Sam Sam
In this I want a new blank line to run in between the two names. However, the problem maybe when I add in new names because I will want them to be all grouped in eg Adding another Richard in will sort out the group to be this
Column A Dave Dave Dave
Richard Richard
Sam Sam
Would I therefore be better off running a simple tidy up macro after new text had been inserted which reordered the text in column a alphabetically, then added a blank row between the names. Does anyone have some VBA code knocking round that does this? I have found this code here as a starting point (though I dont understand it)
Sub InsertBlankRows() Dim currentCell As Range Dim s As Integer, i As Integer, e As Long, c As Integer
Range("A4").Select Set currentCell = ActiveCell
Do While Not IsEmpty(currentCell)
s = currentCell.Value e = currentCell.Row c = currentCell.Column
