I have it working now using a pivot table to get me the unique items, but there must a be a more efficient function to do this.
I'm looking for a formula (VBA I'm assuming) that will help me create a unique customer ID out of data that my website generates in order to import records into my accounting system.
I have a current list of customers in CSV format with the columns: CustomerID, CustomerName, CustomerZip
Each customer in our accounting system is assigned a unique,7 digit CustomerID in the format of XXX#### where XXX are the first 3 letters of their last name, and #### is a 4 digit number (with leading 0's) to create unique ID's for customer with the same first 3 characters of their last name. SAMPLE LIST:
SCH0001, Lindsey Schubert, 75230
SCH0002, Thomas Schoembs, 53132
ADA0001, Samantha Adams, 28205
...
What I'd like to do is pass the formula 3 parameters (Cust_First_Name, Cust_Last_Name, Zip) and have it parse the .CSV file and either return an existing customer's current ID or generate the appropriate new, unique ID, making sure in increase the 4 digit # accordingly and insert leading 0's if necessary.
Another caveat, if possible to work with, is the ability to also pass the formula another range of cells to append to the end of the .CSV file's data for comparison reasons. There are times when I'll bulk-import orders (or we receive numerous in the same batch) and the potential exists to have two customers that would have the same CustomerID created using JUST the .CSV data. Ie. If we use the example above and have new customers of Steve Schwab and Julie Schwitzer - we'd end up incorrectly assigning them both SCH0003, where if we'd read Steve Schwab's newly created info and customer ID of SCH0003, then Schwitzer would correctly be assigned SCH0004.
In column CT between rows 11:210 is the vertical data that includes duplicates. I am looking to create a formula that can lookup each value between CT11:CT210 and return only the unique values horizontally starting in cell CW9 and onwards.
Example: CT11:CT14 looks like
5x20
6x4
5x20
5x8
and so on and so forth..
I would then like this formula to return the above data (which goes all the way to CT210) in this format starting in cell CW9 - 5x20 then CX9 - 6x4 and finally CY9 - 5x8.
I've found Nth_Occurrence and it's frankly brilliant but I need to be able to return the occurrence number of a value in a range and it doesn't quite do what I need.
Using = COUNTIF(A$1:A1,A1) gives me exactly the answer I need but as I'm working with big ranges it's taking a lot of calculation time.
Is there a field setting in pivot tables to return the number of unique records?
Is there an excel formula to define a range of cells, and returns then number of unique records: (i.e =Unique(A1:A10)?
I have two spreadsheets.
spreadsheet 1:
Lookup from Order numbers listed from A5:A177.
requested formula in I5: I would like a lookup to sheet 2 based on the order number (F19:F191), to return the cell above the first non-blank value.
spreadsheet 2:
Lookup value:Order number listed from F19:F191.
Data search:AY19:CI191
return the (date) which is in the range above the data search from row AY18:CI18.
I've had a look at few forums but i'm getting mixed responses, having to use index / match / lookup / min / --.
I have 12 columns of data. In those 12 columns of data I have 3 digit numeric IDs. I want to count the unique number of IDs for each row. I have about 14K rows.
What would be the best way to do so?
Some rules about how the data is stored. I have 12 columns of data with anywhere from 1 to 12 columns having data for each respondent. Data always fills left to right and never skips columns.
I have attached an example file that represents how the data is stored and the output I would like (Unique Count).
I have a large amount of data and I'm trying to count how many unique values I have in one column. I also want to know how many times each duplicate appears. I tried using a pivot table but it's not working for me.
I also tried the following formula: =SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(H:H,H:H)>0,1)) but it's not quite working.
mockup.xlsxStarting out with a 9 by 11 grid.
Column A will have times that need to be referenced in a lookup. (Ex Sat 8:00am)
Row 1 will have basball field codes reference with a lookup. (Example Field 4
Cells B2:I11 have distinct codes or possibly nothing. (An example would be: Tier 1 A1-A3)
These codes will move around from time to time. They will always remain distinct within the grid, but could appear in any of the cells from B2:I11.
I have 2 columns I want to populate with values from the grid.
First is Fields. I want the first cell to populate with the baseball field found in row 1 of which the code Tier1 A1-A3 falls under.
For example if this season Tier1 A1-A3 is found in the column under Field 4, then I need to return Field 4 as a result.
Second is the time. I want the time to be populated based on what row the Tier1 A1-A3 code falls in.
For example if Tier1 A1-A3 is in the Sat 8:00am row, then I need that value returned.
In short, I need to search the grid and find a given value. I then need to use a lookup (or other tool) to return the first value in that row. And secondly via lookup return the first value in that column.
edit: added spreadsheet example. First sheet is grid in question, 2nd sheet is a typical schedule.
The first Team (Scared Hitless) is A1, the team they play first is Sands Duel Fuel (A3) They play at 11:00am on Field TR3.
You will see on the grid under TR3 and Sat 11:00 the code Tier 4 A1v3. This code is what I want to search and correlate into times on the schedule rather than doing the data entry by hand.
I have scoured the Excel boards but cannot find what I am looking for. Need to do a formula approach (No Pivot Table) lookup on a dynamic table that is not necessarily in order and may have blanks in some cells or whole rows. What I would like Excel 2003 to do is report (extract) the all first occurrences of each organization number that has at least one person with a "Yes" in a corresponding column in the same row. I also need the number of persons that have "Yeses" in each of those identified Org Nos .
Data is laid out as such:
Org No. Name Not in Compliance
8631Steve Yes
8631David
8631Nick
8631Tom
8631Susan Yes
8701Peter Yes
8701Diane Yes
8701Mary Yes
8879Don
8879Bernie
8879Wayne
8900David Yes
The answer is
In one row list the org #'s not in compliance ("Yes"). In the row just below it the number of persons:
86318701 8900
2 3 1
I have a helper column that counts the number of unique org nos, but cannot tie that to those that have Yes in the other column.
In column before Org No i have =IF(COUNTIF(b$33:b34,b34)=1,MAX(a$33:a33)+1,"") copied down.
I've been searching both here and on google but I've been unable to make use of any of the numerous suggestions and examples I've found to do this; given I'm right in thinking that this should be done with a vlookup!
I have a table in which different customers pay different prices for different products. C13 is a cell in which I want Excel to look up the correct value based on A13 and B13 (in this case C3).
I have no experience with lookup functions, which might be the reason why I can't get this to work. I bet it's pretty simple
I am trying to come up with a user defined function to accomplish several things at once.
First, I need to lookup a reference value in one column and determine the value from another column (on the same worksheet) in the same row. Then, concatenate each "return" value (that isn't blank).
I have the following code so far, but my formula results in a zero. If I remove the On Error Resume Next, the formula results in a #VALUE error.
Public Function ConcatUnique(Separator As String, Ref As Variant, LkupCol As Range, _
RetCol As Range)
Dim lkup As Range
Dim ret As Range
Dim colDif As Long
Dim mCollect As New Collection
Dim i As Integer
Dim b As Variant
' Determine the number of columns difference between
' the lookup column and the return value column.
colDif = RetCol.Column - LkupCol.Column
On Error Resume Next
' Determine which lookup values in the lookup range match the reference value.
' When the lookup value matches the reference value, set the return range object
' to the cell in the return range (column) in the same row as the lookup value.
' Note we use the difference between the lookup column and the return column to
' determine the location of the return range object.
For Each lkup In LkupCol
If lkup.Value = Ref.Value Then Set ret = Range(Cells(lkup.Row, lkup.Column _
+ colDif))
' Store the return value in the collection object. Ignore any blank return
' values. Note we use the range value converted to a string as the key
' value.
If ret.Value <> "" Then mCollect.Add ret.Value, CStr(ret.Value)
' Loop through each cell in the lookup column range.
Next lkup
' Write each item from the collection and the separator to the final result,
' writing each value and the separator after the previous value and separator.
For i = 1 To mCollect.Count
b = b & mCollect(i) & Separator
Next i
ConcatUnique = Left$(b, Len(b) - Len(Separator))
End Function
Index Match lookup formula does not find valid entries that exist in the lookup table. Formula: =INDEX(tbl_Costs,MATCH( F8,tbl_Costs_PN,0),MATCH("Cost",tbl_Costs_hdngs,0)). I've verified that the matching criteria and values are, in fact, in the table and have made double sure that all cells are formatted the same. the attached file and show me the error of my ways.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI am looking for a solution other than using an advanced data filter for unique records only.
I would like to take a large list (columns A:D), and automatically filter for unique records and other conditions and paste the results in different tables (Group A & Group B).
Group A only includes records with value ="A" in the checksheet column.
Group B includes records with value <>"A" in the checksheet column.
Does anyone have any ideas how to do this so that when I paste the large list in columns A:D, the other tables (Group A & Group B) are automatically populated?

For example, when a product is selected, I need to list all the possible venues it is sold from. I will use this venue list to populate my drop-down listbox, as opposed to having a 100 venues in the list, I just wish to have the applicable ones.

prod 1 venue 10
prod 2 venue 6
I would like to use a formula if I can (not a macro), to list that prod 1 is only sold in venue 1,3, 10.

I am seeking to pull names from a list on one worksheet in to particular cells on another worksheet using each name only once. I need a function or series of them that can accomplish this.

The Question:
This is a hard one, I promise! Is there a way/formula/VBA to return multiple unique values from a table or from multiple columns with criteria?
My Objective
I want to create a table that has unique company names in the first column (done already) and all the connections that belong to a given company in the columns #2....#n. Like this:
Column1 Column2 Column3 ..... Column n
Company X1: Co. ABC Co.XYZ Co.Acme
Company X2: Co. SEB Co. Becme Co. Cecme
....
Company Xn: Co. X1 Co. ABC Co. Acme
I have a small sample that has 20.000 rows and 25 columns of data of 1946 unique companies downloaded from my schools database. This means that doing this by hand would take forever!
The data has many duplicates which makes this complicated. The first column shows company name and columns 2...n present connections. Like this:
Column1 Column2 Column 3 ...... Column n
Company X1: Co. ABC Co. XYZ Co. Acme
Company X1: Co. ABC
Company X1: Co.Acme
Company X1: Co. XyZ Co. ABC
In this example Company X1 is connected to companies ABC, XYZ and Acme. The formula should be able to filter/omit overlapping entries.
i have 2 different spreadsheets
sheet 1 and sheet 2
in sheet 1 i have suppouse following data
Name-- Prod. --value --year

-- b -- 26 -- 240 -- 2004
-- a -- 33 -- 120 -- 2004
-- a -- 21 -- 200 -- 2004
-- c -- 26 -- 240 -- 2004
-- b -- 33 -- 120 -- 2004
-- d -- 24 -- 100 -- 2004
in sheet 2
Name -- Prod. -- value -- year
-- a -- 24 -- 100 -- 2005
-- d -- 26 -- 240 -- 2005
-- a -- 33 -- 120 -- 2005
-- e -- 26 -- 240 -- 2005
-- a -- 21 -- 200 -- 2005
-- c -- 26 -- 240 -- 2005
-- d -- 24 -- 100 -- 2005
in this situation i want to find out the dropouts of sheet 1. (that persons which are not present the sheet 2)
how can i compare these sheets?
in this case i want the result as
-- Name -- Prod. -- value -- Year

I have a worksheet (say, Sheet1) that I am going to manually import a large data set into on a weekly basis for reporting purposes. One of the columns from this data dump will have the header "Design Id" in the first row, but it may not be in the same column every time. I am trying to figure out how to create dropdown lists on a separate worksheet (say, Sheet2) in the same workbook where the data source always looks up the column containing the header "Design Id" from Sheet1 and then returns only the unique values from that column as options in the list.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am attempting to put together a golf tournament spreadsheet. I have figured out how to review a list of numbers, find the lowest ten scores and make a list of those scores. Next to that I want to have excel input the name of the player that shot that score. The problem is, a couple of scores match so excel is only returning one of the golfers names. I am trying to have it return the other golfer who scored the same score.
Here is the formula I am using in Column N:
=SMALL($L$2:$L$21,1) This runs from 1 thru 10 for the 10 lowest scores.
Here is the formula I am using in Column O:
=INDEX($A$2:$A$21,MATCH(1,INDEX(($L$2:$L$21=$N2)*ISNA(MATCH($A$2:$A$21,N$2:N2,0)),0),0))
Here is the formula I am using in Column P: (gives same info as column O formula)
=INDEX($A$2:$A$21,MATCH(SMALL($L$2:$L$21,ROW(N1)),$L$2:$L$21,0))
Column A = golfers names
Column L = list of all golfers scores
Column N = lowest ten scores in order

I have a list of Window sizes and types in Range B4:B:43. The descriptions repeat because in Column K I am listing a location for each window in a house.
Example:
B K
3050 SH 1/1 Dining Room
3050 SH 1/1 Kitchen
2030 Fixed Foyer
2030 Fixed Living Room
In the Same sheet Starting on B:45 I want a list of only Unique Window Types:
B:45 and Down:
3050 SH 1/1
2030 Fixed
I'd like this to automatically appear after populating the first list. I used an advanced filter the first time and it worked, but it is not reliable and sometimes returns duplicate values or give me an error message. Plus once again having it happen automatically as the list will change each time I access the sheet would be great.
