Highlight And Message Box Duplicate Values Over All Worksheets Within Same Column
Dec 4, 2013
I've been looking for a solution to highlight all duplicates within a certain column across all worksheets in the workbook as the entry is made, no button to search for them. I have found bits and pieces, but can't seem to stitch them together to create what I am looking for, still very green with vba.
My workbook is a loading schedule at a warehouse, so there is a tab for each day (the date being the tab name, ex. '12.04.13'.) Tabs are continually added and removed to progress the calendar, and minimize file size. The column I am searching for duplicates in, is column L (or 12, however you wish to identify it.) If a duplicate value is entered, I want at the very least to highlight the value just entered, and the value elsewhere on the workbook, and if possible, have a msg box pop up stating the location of the other duplicate (or at least the tab (date) the duplicate is on.) The message box is more so for an in your face error check, with a built in GPS. Would it also be possible to only search from row 2 to 100, and ignore any further rows on each sheet?
The point of this, is to locate duplicates to make sure an appt has not been double booked, and both entries can be located to verify which entry has the correct information (carrier, delivery appt, etc.)

I have a workbook that has five worksheets listing warehouse inventory items. One worksheet for 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010 and 2009. In column b of each worksheet is a column B with a heading of "Item Number". There are hundreds of item numbers on each worksheet.
I would like to be able to find and highlight item numbers that appear in multiple years. Preferably color coded showing appears in five, four and three years. If that's too difficult than just items that appear in all five years. I tried conditional formatting, but have been unsuccessful.
Lastly, is there a way to list any duplicate item numbers on a new worksheet.

find the attached Sheet, where some values are entered in column A with repeated action. What I need that through an excel function the repeated values should get red colour like in the Column C.

I created a spreadsheet for use by the shipping department where I work. We are trying to prevent pulling and shipping the incorrect item to the customer. This is how it works. The employee downloads a CSV file containing items that have been purchased from our website and imports the file into the excel. Then the item is pulled and the employee scans the item's barcode into the spreadsheet named "SCAN." Formulas and code on the "reference" sheet look for the SKU number in the list from the CSV file while others create a consolidated list of SKUs that have been scanned, SKUs that have a problem and need to go to customer service, and SKUs from the CSV file that have yet to be scanned. Some of the formulas in this workbook have been borrowed from forums like this and altered to fit my needs - I'll admit I'm not even entirely sure how they work.
Occasionally a SKU is scanned in twice and not always sequentially which will effect the total item count. It can be very difficult to find the duplicates in the list.
I would like for any value that appears more than once in column B of the 'SCAN' sheet to be highlighted. I have tried to do this, but to no avail.
Scan Below
FWD: CS?
If FWD: CS, state reason below:
Status
NOT SCANNED
FWD to CS

I have rows that contain property identifiers and their owners. One property ID can have multiple owners. I would like to color the rows differently to show each unique property ID with their 1 or more property owners. I have attached a file showing what I would like (with fake data). In excel, I was able to figure out how to highlight the duplicate values, but it only does them in one color. I would like each property ID value to have it's own color - as I show in the attached file. In the file, I have value 1234 as one color, the 4546 values as another color and 2233 values as another.

I am unsure if I would even need VBA to do this. I am trying to find a way to highlight all cells in column AO that have duplicate phrases and transfer just the phrase over to column CF. Ex: A cell containing "She didn't listen" and a cell containing "They didn't listen" would highlight and "didn't listen" would move over to Column CF. Would it be possible to do this without specifying the exact phrase?

I have sheet 1 and in c3

1st
copy
[Code]....
this two column compare for duplicates and I manage to highlight (actually not bold) the number that is duplicate but I dont want to highlight the 2nd, 3rd & so on duplicate number in c3 (highlight 1 only from the 3 numbers most of the times got 2 only) . (row start from c3 to c2000 and d3 is up to d2000 also). I already use CF for highlighting the duplicate in C3 which my formula in CF is
=IF(ISERROR(MATCH(c3:c3,$c$3:$c$780,0)),"",c3:c3) I just try to do this formula and it works, but I dont know how to command not to highlight the 2nd, 3rd & so on duplicate number in C3 (C3 only can have duplicate number within the column; D3 doesn't have any repeat number in the D column.
I need to do the same formula command for other 2 partner columns (compare for duplicates this two columns & the 1st column if have to many duplicates highlight the first number that have more than 1 duplicates only) cells need to do again is for E3 & F3; G3&H3; until AU3&AV3..
is it possible to count how many highlighted cell (not bold) there is in a column (I mean total highlighted cell) and put the answer in cell C1, E1, G1, I1 ... AS1 , AU1. Tq again..

I managed to find this great bit of code some time ago and would now like to add to it. The code basically identifies any duplicates in column A and then lists the results in a message box,e.g.:
Duplicate Name: REF12345
Rows: 2,3
Works great for 1 or 2 duplicates but if there are many it becomes quite difficult to keep track. I'd like keep the code as is but add highlighting to the identified cells.

I would like to know how I can have a macro run on an excel sheet of mine.
I have a little database with a few names and email addresses submitted to me via web.
But some people tried to register to my services TWICE with a different name, but same email address (not smart eh)
I would like to run a macro on a column and have it search for duplicate values and highlight them in... blue perhaps.?
P.s. the column format is set to 'TEXT'

I need VBA help. I know how to highlight every other row but what I can't do is highlight a row if column values are the same. For example I have 5 columns but only the first one has the data I'm interested in. If the data in the first column looks something like this:
1
2
3
4
4
5
5
5
6
6
6
7
.
.
I want to highlight every other row that has similar values therefore I want to highlight row 2, both row 4s, and three 6s...etc.
I also want it to start on the 2nd row of every page until the last row of every page which is row 37 in my case.

I have "Worksheet1" with Columns A and B for IP Addresses, then Column C is for a device name.
I have "Worksheet2" with a range of IP Address from F5:I260
When I enter a new device and assign it the IP addresses on "Worksheet1", I would like the IP Address to highlight in "Worksheet2"
This way I can keep track of which IP address I have used. Excel 2010

I have made up 7 worksheets that are completely identical with exception of course to the data they contain. I have a master sheet that contains some of the data from each of the other sheets that will be shared between them. Things were working very well until I discovered that some data was duplicated on a couple of the sheets; and I am in need of adding more worksheets.
The formula I am using for this will not allow me to have more than the 7 worksheets. It is an IF statement array. So now I am wondering how will I be able to add these extra sheets. I would like to use my worksheet names in a range but have evidently done something wrong and could not get that to work before, ending up with this very long 'IF'. !Can worksheet names be used to create a named range?
Also, I would like to know if there is a way to prevent duplicate data on these sheets. I am using conditional formatting on each sheet now, but that of course only works on the current sheet.

I'm in need of a formula, or another automated technique, to link a column of data from one worksheet to another. I have an input worksheet that I copy the raw data into that is formatted as follows:
COLUMN A
Row 1 12001
Row 2 12004
Row 3 12011
Row 4 12020
Row 5 13050
etc...
I need this import sheet to link to an output worksheet that would be updated automatically as new data is entered into the input sheet. However, I need the output sheet to copy the input values a specified # of the times and list them. For example, if the specified # was 3, it would be formatted as follows:
COLUMN A
Row 1 12001
Row 2 12001
Row 3 12001
Row 4 12004
Row 5 12004
Row 6 12004
Row 7 12011
etc...
I need the formula, or method, to be one that I don't have to continually re-enter as the data changes, as I have thousands of records to do this with. I've tried filling down, but autofill doesn't recognize an accurate trend. Is this something that I can accomplish by combining several fomulas, creating macros, or a combination of the both?

I am looking for a macro to look in Sheet 1 column A and compare the values to Sheet 2 column O. When it finds a duplicate I want it to delete the entire row in sheet 1. I dont want to have to manually sort anything if that's possible.

In Excel 2003, I need to be able to format one column (ie Lead Source) so that if the value in that column is not x,y, or z, it is highlighted or is otherwise visually marked as being out of compliance.
For example, if I have a column that is titled Month, I need to format it such that if the value entered does not match one of the 12 months of the year, it is highlighted.
It is also important to be able to apply this formatting to already existing data, as opposed to as it is being entered (as in list validation). And that is can be easily applied to large sets of data.
I have used conditional formatting in the past to highlight repeated cells, and had tried something similar with this, but am not familiar enough with excel syntax and can't seem to make it fly.

I'm using the code described down below to highlight 5 of the lowest values in a column. The problem; If at a certain moment the column contains less then 5 values the code errors, so I've to put in a lot of error handlers to fix the problem.

I have 100,000 lines of data and an trying to highlight values in column B based on those in column A.
For example if 1 appears in A then several times in B then it should highlight each instance in B where it appears in B. However is 2 appears twice in B - but not in A - then it should not highlight any cel.
Column A is the criteria list I think there are 140 unique values.
Column B is the data I need highlighted there are around 100,000 rows. In there values from column A appear multiple times. I need all of the multiples in B - where they match a value from column A - highlighted.

In Column A, there are about 2000 plus entries, is there a simple formula to highlight the duplicate values in conditional format, so that the duplicate values stand coloured.

I have a challenge related to a excel sheet we are using for personnel planning.
Vertically we have several projects with action items listed row by row in the following format:
- Project 1 xxxxxx
Project management
Project Engineering
Workshop
Shipping
Etc.
- Project 2 xxxxxx
Project management
Project Engineering
Workshop
Shipping
Etc.
Horisontaly on the columns we have dates, day by day for a year +
For each day we chose from a drop down who is assigned to the action item. The problem is when there are 30-40 + projects and each have 20-30 lines of ation items it is hard to get the overview and avoid double entry. I would use conditional formating to do this, but firstly each project is separated by a line containing different formulas and I would not like the conditional formation to change these cells, and at the same time to put this up manually for each row would take a long time since there are 365 + rows.
how a VBA code could solve this little challenge? IT would also be beneficial to have it do the check upon cell change, that way we would not need to manually run the VBA to check.

Suppose I have some data in a column like below
Blue
Red
Green
green
red
RED
BLUE
I need a macro or excel formula so that it will remove duplicate products- case sensitive(removing all duplicate prod using using excel,that i know.) i.e. it should not consider Blue BLUE as duplicate. only consider Blue Blue as duplicate.
So the macro should work same as data -> remove duplicate function already exists in excel, except it will be case sensitive..

I've got a column of client company names and because it is based from accounts, the companies names appear many times. I just need to populate a new column with unique names, so I have found a formula to do this:
=INDEX($A$2:$A$20, MATCH(0, COUNTIF($B$1:B1, $A$2:$A$20), 0))
However when I do this, I CtrlShiftEnter and drag to copy that down, and it's just a copy of the original list - client names are appearing on my new list multiple times. I don't see how this doesn't work... I'm using 2013.

What can I add to this existing formula to look for duplicate values in the entire column (D) and then concatenate the text of column (K) in each of those rows together?
Essentially I want to string all text in column K together, for each duplicate row of column D with the results in column L.
=IF(D14=D15,CONCATENATE(K14,K15),K14)
