Identify The Errors, Duplicates, Typos And Such Between Two Spreadsheets Of Over 4000 Rows Of Data Each
Jun 29, 2007
I need to identify the errors, duplicates, typos and such between two spreadsheets of over 4000 rows of data each. The Macro: I got a macro working, but it's not perfect. So far, it can only tell data that's missing on spreadsheets A, or B. However, it can't tell which are the duplicates, typos, etc. Please look at the sample for more details. The code is included in the sample. And for your convenience, it's right here:
Sub difference_general()
Dim frontcount As Long
Dim backcount As Long
Dim diffcount As Long
Dim nosrcflg As Boolean
Dim front_ref As String
Dim back_ref As String
Dim anydiffflg As Boolean
Dim ftnotexistflg As Boolean
Dim invnotexistflg As Boolean
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
Sheets("Diff").Select
Cells(1, 1).Select
Rows("2:65536").Select
Selection.Delete Shift:=xlUp
Cells(1, 2).Select............................
I have a spreadsheet with 20+ columns. Each column contains a list of invoice numbers, eg, 1234. The lists are all of different lengths (see below). I want to find a way to find/highlight/identify those invoice numbers that appear more than once in the entire sheet (eg if invoice 1234 is listed in column B, and also in column H, and/or if invoice 5678 is listed in column A, and also in column J, and also perhaps in column D, etc.)
I've searched this forum but haven't found anything about searching for multiple duplicates in multiple columns. Ideally the matches would be highlighted in different colours, (eg all cells that contain 1234 would be red, those that contain 5678 would be blue, etc., for ease of identification) but I'm not sure if that's possible. I've attached an example that I've shaded myself to show what I mean. I've tried the MODE function but that only tells me which invoice number occurs the most.
I have 3 spreadsheets that should be exactly the same - with the same data and same positions - is there a way of comparing all 3 to see if this is true and highlight any errors - either by using a master sheet or some kind of conditional formatting
I started a new job and have inherited lots of spreadsheets that everytime you save give the following error: NULL IDispatch passed to AutoWrap(), and you have to click the "ok" box as many as 30 times to get thru all the errors and save the document. The one document I'm looking at right now doesn't have Macros so far as I can tell.
i would like an if macro to pick up if cell dest (i have used a case to define this cell) contains an error or more imoprtantly #REF! then change the offending cells to 0 and put up a message box to put "Check XTA". i have found some that i think may work but i didnt understand them (they had function in them :smask so i couldnt put them in.is there a way to put them in with out functions or could someone point me in the right direction.
I have a spreadsheet that I'm using for a college football pool. We have almost 100 players, and have it set up for each player to pick up to 20 games each week. There is a sheet for each week of the season. Now, I copy each players picks from a message board and paste them under that players name. My problem is, that some people don't spell the teams correctly or abbreviate when they were told not too. This leads to them missing the points because excel sees it as a wrong entry. What I wantto accomplish is setting up some way to have excel verify the spelling is correct when the players entries are pasted in the sheet. I would also like it to auto-correct errors it finds...say a player types in Ohio St. but the winner is entered as Ohio State...This would be seen as a wrong entry for Ohio St. so I want excel to recognize it and correct it. Also simple spelling errors as well...
I have two worksheets one worksheet contains Insurnace names and Addresses from a hospital. I need to match these up to specific Insurance codes from a billing company worksheet. The bad thing is my billing database has multiple duplicate addresses for different insurances (Yes this does happen where different Insurances have the same address-don't ask me why). So originally I did a VLOOKUP where I looked up the address from the hospital Spreadsheet and matched it to the Insurance Specific code. The pitfall to doing it this way is that it only grabs the first exact match from the Billing worksheet. Is there a way to either automatically identify the possible matches and allow me to choose which one is the exact match or how do I just identify duplicates on my billing worksheet and match them manually? I attached the worksheet.
I run an online baseball league, and the game I use to simulate our games has issued a new version which has updated ratings for all the baseball players. I have exported rosters from the new game and rosters from my online league to .csv files and what I want to do is find which players are duplicates in both files and line them so that I can scroll both files simultaneously and update my online league file easily. I also want the non-duplicate players to be sorted below the duplicates so I can deal with them later. Someone on the other forum posted some dynamic named range code and two macros and gave me some vague instructions on how to use the codes. I have posted the codes below with their instructions:
I have two columns of B2 and C2 data in the same worksheet and want to identify duplicates in the columns and return a value of true or false in column D. The formula I have been utilizing is:
I need to identify duplicates in a list and have the foilowing formula:
=IF( COUNTIF(range1,A2)>1,"Duplicate","")
This works ok but i have a further condition which i dont know how to factor into the formula. I think i could write some vba to determine the dupes but i was hoping to avoid this as im sure it will take me an hour or so. Duplicates are identified at the moment as being identical numbers in column "amount", i now need to specify duplicates as being identical numbers in this range where there is at least one row with no pay date filled in in col "paydate"
I have two spreadsheet in which I am looking for duplicate customer names.
1st - "Customers" 2nd - "Orders"
In column A of my Customers spreadsheet I have the following formula =IF(ISERROR(MATCH(E2,Orders$D2:D1000,0))=FALSE, "Y","N"). This allows me to see if a name in my Customer spreadsheet (column E is a field of names) is also in my Orders spreadsheet (column D is a field of names). My end results is either a Y indicating a duplicate or a N for no duplicates.
What I am looking to do next is to place in column B of my Customers spreadsheet the date that coincides with the duplicating customer name. Sorry to be confusing. If a customers name is found in the Orders spreadsheet I need to know what date has been given to this customer (column L in the Orders spreadsheet contains the date information).
However, on numerous occasions a customers name is found in the Orders spreadsheet more than once meaning there may be more than one date which needs to be placed in column B of my Customers spreadsheet.
I use excel 2007 and need a formula to identify cells that have duplicate values within the same cell. For example, some of my city fields have the city twice, like baltimorebaltimore.
So here I have two columns Column 1 with repetitive values of some 10000 records Column 2 with unique values of 100 records I want to compare Column 1 and Column 2, identify the values in Column 1 that match with Column 2 and highlight them. Conditional formatting for duplicate values doesnt work because Column 1 has repetitive values.
- I have a list of 8 digit numbers in Column A sorted small to large - Some of the 8 digit numbers are duplicated. - In Column B I would like to have more of a combination of countif and listing the duplicates in order (1 for the first dup in the column, 2 for the 2nd, etc.)
Example of what I'd like to see
Column A Column B 123456781 123456782 132546841 685036541 985413561 985413562 985413563
As you can see if the number in column A is on the list one time column B would show a 1If the number is shown two times (the first time it shows up will show a 1 the second will show a 2) If the number is shown 3 times (the first time it shows up will show a 1 the second will show a 2, the third tiem would show a 3)
I understand that exceeding approx 4000 cell formats causes the message "Too many cell formats" and a freezing up Excel.
Are there versions of Excel (2007?, Vista?) for Windows XP that significantly increase the 4000 limit, and if there are, what are their limits on the number of cell formats?
I have to show a report with 3 columns= Physician names, Section and number of procedures. The problem is that physician name repeat several time according the section they order and I need to show in the first column each Physician name just one, see attached picture.
I did try to use conditional formatting and advance data formatting but not working properly for me. I was able to use =A2=A1 conditional formatting and hide duplicates physician names but shows only the last row of the duplicate names no the first one.
Column A______Column B_____Column C 100/12__________B___________$ 100/12______________________@ 100/12______________________€ 250/13______________________€ 250/13______________________$
I want to keep in ColumnA all three rows of 100/12, because it has a value in Column B in one cell-which is the criteria, and remove the 250/13 because it has no value in cell B.
I was assuming that merging duplicates in column A, and than remove empty from ColumnB.
I am new to macro and just trying to learn. I have a spreadsheet with 20000 rows and 8 columns. I am trying to identify equal rows based on the values of columns C, D, E and F. then I need to separate equal bunches with a blank row. Then I need to copy the ID number from the first cell of column B of each bunch and paste it for the rest of the rows in that bunch. I have written the following code but this does not put the ID of the first cell in a bunch for the rest of the rows in that bunch.
We run reports from active directory to see user accounts that have not been logged into the network between 30 and 90 days. We have a few spreadsheets within a workbook (Investigate, Disable, Delete, No Action). All user accounts are imported into the investigate spreadsheet. What we would like to do is automatically take predecided accounts (service accounts that we do not log on to the network - only meant for services, etc) and move them from the investigate spreadsheet into the No Action spreadsheet. These accounts all start with svc. Generic accounts start with GEN and so on....
I have a macro that performs Index&Match formulae on another workbook. This leaves me with some #N/A results. I then require the macro to delete all rows that contain #N/A. I have tried to identify these via
If Range("E" & myLoop).value = "#N/A"
and
If Application.WorksheetFunction.Isnumber(Range("E" & myLoop).Value) = False
but each one gives me a Run Time Error 13 (Type Mismatch) because, even though the results are now values and not formulae, it sees '#N/A' as an error (Error 2042).
I have a spreadsheet with only 80 rows in it and I need data from another spreadsheet with over 200 rows. One of these rows in each spreadsheet contains a matching field (Job #). I only want the 80 matching rows data from the over 200 row sheet.
Is there an easy way to combine these two. Even adding the 80 to the 200+ will be fine as I can just remove the blanks. I can't figure out a way to combine them and match them up.
I have 2 separate spreadsheets. Spreadsheet #2 is a full list of items. The item names are in Column A. In Column B is an associated primary number. In Column C is an associated secondary number. Spreadsheet #1 is a partial list of items. The item names are in Column A. The primary number is in Column B. There is no secondary number given in Spreadsheet #1.
My objective is to find out what items in Spreadsheet #1 have a secondary number in Spreadsheet #2, and to group them all together so they can be easily identified. I am attaching a couple of example spreadsheets to give an idea of what I'm working with. The example's are small so it would be easy to just eyeball them and see what ones match up however the real spreadsheets I am working from are thousands of lines long so obviously eyeballing them is not the ideal way of doing it. Is there a formula I can use to reach my objective?
So I have a list of numbers in column A with an amount in column B. There are duplicates in column A. I need those duplicates pulled out into another cell with its amounts from column B, then total the amounts from column B. This would give the user the total amounts from column B. I have attached a sheet with the examples hand typed.
i have a series of colums in which i have a formula for checking if each proceding row has the same value in the cells above ie duplication. i am using the following formula = if(and (C4=C3),(D4=D3),(E4=E3)),"yes","") although this seems to work ok, some of the cells in colums D & E are empty. what should i do to check for this.
what i am attempting to do is check for duplicate rows where the row is only a duplicate if the previous row is identical.
