macro to compare 4 columns of text (first and last names) then add a checkmark in separate columns if they match and don't match?
For example I have this kind of data to compare and the results required:
Sheet 1
Last Name First Name
Smith Mike
Johnson Bruce
Hendrick Fred
Shaffer Kerry
Sheet 2
Last Name First Name Match No Match
Klee Pierre X
Verge Kerry X
Smith Mike X
Wright David X
Hendrick Fred X
I need the macro to mark an X in the Match column if the first and last names match only and if they do not match exactly a X in the No Match column.
how to Chk the text string in particular cell, compare it with a super set column and get the full from of the text string from another corresponsing column and the output will be corresponsing full form of the chked text string?
I am trying to find out what formula I would need to use in order to have two columns compared. If the two columns have the same information I want the information from column 3 to be place in another particular cell.
I recently posted a similar thread which was very well supported but I couldn’t get a solution because my requirements were not clear enough. I would like to try again with a slightly easier and clearer requirement.
I would like a spreadsheet that compares and searches columns for text and returns true if a duplicate is found.
It is similar to a lottery checker except the lines being checked could be a string instead of a single character.
I have attached a spreadsheet which helps explain what I’m trying to achieve.
Basically, a user can sequentially enter a single character to cells F1:F5. These values are then compared to columns A:C. If one of the columns contain the values in column F then return true to G1.
I have two columns, salesman and date. This workbook tracks quotes by salesman. I need to know how many quotes for each salesman by the month. So what I need to know is how quotes salesman 'a' had in January and February and so on. I have several worksheets in this workbook that are all formatted the same.
I have account numbers in Col A and in Col D .I would like a macro to highlight the color the items in Col D that are not in col D. Blanks can be ignored
I need making a macro which compares a particular range of columns in one sheet to other sheet in same workbook.
It is like i have two worksheets named "Working Copy" and "Cleaned Data - (Working)". In this I have to compare Columns (A:AG) from Working Copy to columns (B:BH) of Cleaned Data - (Working). and if there is any difference between any cell then it should be highlighted with a colour in both the worksheets.
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 two columns containing dates (Date1 and Date2). Date1 is like a long date and Date 2 is a short date. I need a macro to compare these two dates and delete rows where Date1 <> Date2. Please find attached the before and after file which also contains the date formats for these two dates.
I am trying to modify the macro listed below for the following example. It would work when I have only numerals in the cell but this new query, the cell has both letters and numbers.
I want to compare column "M" from worksheet one to column "B" in worksheet two. If the information matches, then copy the value adjacent from worksheet two column "A" to worksheet one column "L".
Here is the macro that worked for me using a search of only numerals.
figuring out why the data doesn't copy?
Macro:
Sub merge_accession_PS_rad_productivity() Dim rng2 As Range, c2 As Range, cfind As Range Dim x, y With Worksheets("Imaging_Summary") 'N4=Accession on Imaging Summary worksheet
I m trying to write some code use VBA in excel to look at cell C2 and if it equal A0 or whatever then it will put in cell D2 = "blah blah" and then go down to the next cell C3.
Select Case Range("C:C").Text Case "A0" Range("B1").Value = "not booked" Case "A1" Range("B1").Value = "Misplace documents" Case "A2" Range("B1").Value = "Closing cancelled" Case Else End End Select End Sub
I have a report that in one column codes (A1,A2,A3,B3 etc..) and these codes have a description and I want the VBA code to look at the description Code and then put in a different column the description. but Im having no luck.
I need to compare two colums by number decription for example m344 in one column and fsh344-1 in another. All I want to match is 344. In column a I want to indcate the match by placing an X by each match. View my attachment for reference. I don't know if it makes a difference but the columns are centered in my original spreadsheet.
I am trying to write a micro code to split text which is copied into cell A1 into columns. I can do this fine by going to "data" the "text to Columns" and selecting the places i want to split the text (this is the same for every piece of data i copy in).
The macro works perfectly every time. the problem is that the spreadsheet is shared and i want to protect certain cells on the sheet, when i protect the sheet the recorded macro does not work as the "data", "text to columns" is not available in a protected workbook.
I was just wondering if someone could help me, so i can run a macro to split the text which also allows me to protect cells. In the "text to column" option the "fixed width" (column breaks) i choose are: 4, 25, 34 and 43.
I'm trying to compare values in 2 separate columns to see how many times the same value appears in both columns. Ideally I would be able to insert a range function to compare the values in the column "ID 1" against the values in column "ID 2" and return the count of times that a value appears in both columns. For example 2122, 1112 and 1718 appear in both columns and I would like the formula to return a count of 3.
In my actual project I'm comparing 2 columns in the same worksheet. The column are column B with data in cells B2:B10266 against column C with data in cells C2:C18560.
First of all i have to mention that i'm not a coder guy so excuse me if i'm no good in explaining the problem.
What i'm trying is to convert texts into columns. I constantly have an email containing short codes about my business and each code has a special meaning. So i need to convert these codes and lookup in my database. Here is an example of the source file in email.
V MFACTBEL 04-TLV * FH 42T B * USAFEP * FH42T440 V * MEDHCM EPAH342 EUDRPA1 * UDFSUB * EU5SCR V FROCALC * TYPE-FH * V2514 * ULIVING * SOUNDPLU V * AIRFLPAC * EC-REG * L405A71 * R690A71 * LNGTUR V * MIRCOMF * CBL2-BA3 * 1DAYEC * TUR-MSP LFUEL V RFUEL * WL-ST * UAXLE * TEXTILE * TTRCON77 V * ESH-LEFT * UDFP * 4*2 * TRACTOR CONC-BAS............
I am using the TexttoColumns macro to split cell contents into two columns. It works well except for one condition where the data it is parsing has a trailing zero. Excel drops the zero but I need it in the output.
Example Sun Management Center Agent: 4.0
Result Column A Sun Management Center Agent Column B 4
I've got a report that has a period date in it and its in the format "ARP-12", which is not set as a date. If I highlight the column and click Text to Columns it puts it in a date format which I can use.
I recorded myself doing this to insert into a marco but the date format is not correct. When I do it manually ARP-12 comes out as 01/04/2012 which is what I need but when i run the code i recorded it comes out as 12/04/2011.
Macro for text to columns function (if this is the best way to go).
Our work report exports customer subscriptions which we call "role name". Our customers subscriptions have a valid and start date, but our customers also can purchase multiple subscriptions and we need to separate this data in order to report by subscription.
Our export has an * after each subscription, the date is in square brackets and each subscription is separated by a semi column.
So for arguments sake, let's say we have the following subscriptions:
subscription a subscription B subscription C subscription D
if one customer has purchased four subscriptions on various dates, their exports may look like this:
I then use a text to columns function to separate by the * and the; I then am left with a column for the role, one for the start date and one for the expiry date.
The roles are in alphabetical order, but sometimes some manual sorting needs to be done to delete the roles I don’t need and keep the ones I do. For example someone could have subscribed to subscription B and not in A that means that the first column may not have all the roles I need, it may be in the second or third column depending on what other subscriptions they have.
So not sure if text to column is even the best way to go?
I have this macro that does text-to-columns based on delimiting with spaces. It seems to work fine but the first time I use it when I open my spreadsheet it comes up with "Do you want to replace the contents of the destination cells?".The answer to this is always yes, is there a little bit of code I can poke into this macro to ignore this warning?
I'm using the the Texttocolumns method in a Macro, and when it runs across a cell without any data I get "Run time error '1004' No data was selected to parse". How would I get passed this? I would like it to just remain a blank range without the error. Here's the code I'm using:
I am trying to get a macro to run in excel that takes a simple text to columns command in one line of data and runs the command on a loop through however many rows of data there happen to be.
I've attached two screenshots - one with what I've got now (Before.jpg) and what I'd like to have after the macro runs (After.jpg). The code below is what I used to get the first text to column breakout, which I can hopefully run on a loop to breakout anything in the DEPT column that contains a "/". It can ignore the rows that only have one department to begin with.
Eventually I'll want to create another macro that transposes the breakout text back into the DEPT column and populates it with the corresponding data, but I figure I'll take things one step at a time.
I have a cell in workbook X on Sheet1 (cell AB3) that states which columns should be exported from workbook X on Sheet3 to a new workbook. The value of cell AB3 on Sheet1 changes based on what a user selects in some check boxes on Sheet1. I would like my macro to read the value of cell AB3 and interpret it is a range reference of which columns to copy from Sheet3 into a new workbook. The problem I'm having is knowing what line(s) of code I would use in VB to read cell AB3 as a range and what kind of referencing rules I need cell AB3 to contain. Right now this is what the cell looks like to the user:
Code: Sheet3'(A:A,B:B,E:E,F:F).Select
For cell AB3 to look this way I'm just using some hard coded text, such as the sheet number and .Select, plus some concatenated values in between. Perhaps this text string needs to be modified, but I'm also wondering what I would use in my macro to reference the cell and read it as reference to which columns to select in Sheet3.
I am trying to convert cells (all in column D) which are separated by "~" into columns. Unfortunately, running the text to columns command on several rows at a time can cause Excel to panic with an out of memory error (error #7 etc.).
The file is ~100mb and contains 500k-700k rows (I have 4GB of RAM so I know this is more a limit of Excel's 2GB RAM constraint).
Can you please help me write a macro to text to column convert each cell in column D?
I tried a macro which started with a for loop, and called the function for each cell individually, but even this led to an out of memory exception after 156,000 rows (although the same macro worked fine on a similar sheet with 700,000 rows).
Are there any other ways of clearing the Excel buffer/temporary space during the function calls to avoid causing Excel to crash?
i have written a macro to parse data in to four columns using the text to columns fixed width option, but unfortunately the data i get changes its spacing and configuration every day, meaning that the fixedwidth columns dont separate the data correctly. below is how it looks some of the time.
My problem is that data from previous applications are "bleeding" into new applications while running my macro.
I am utilizing the macro below to paste an application and then to convert the application to upper case in addition to some additional formating changes. After performing the macro I save the newly created document to a different folder. With new applications I repeat the above steps.
I tried to incorporate the clearing of the clipboard in my macro using: Edit=>office clipboard=>clear all. The keys strokes during the " record macro" process do not seem to record in the macro.
I am using Excel 2003, SP2

I am trying to write a function that will compare the text of cell "A2" to the text of cell "B2" and display cell "A2"'s text characters that didnt match from cell "B2" in column C. Can anyone help me out with writing this formula?
