Perform Large Multi Search In Excel?
Mar 20, 2014
I have some product SKU's in Exel all in the same column and all unique. The problem is I have been building a product database for my website and only just noticed that the CSV file my distribution company supplied me with didn't include the product description. Since then the distribution company has added a description field to the feed, however the company has added products within this time so it's not as if I can copy and paste the description field into my product database as the wrong descriptions will match with the wrong products. Is there any way I can highlight all of my sku's and the rows they are in? This would work a treat as I could just select all of my SKU's in my product database and then find those products only in the CSV file the company has supplied me with.

Hi again, I am trying to find the easiest way to repeatedly search a large matrix (300,400) for a particular value. I have used two for loops in the past but its starting to get complicated now. Is there a workaround using application.worksheets.something that I could get a true of false reply? Someone may suggest that I create a function that replys back. I am new to VB and I am not sure how to send a matrix of integers to a function (syntax).

I am trying to create a search filter that checks a cell for text or part of text in 3 columns and then filters out the rows that have a match. So there would be a cell at the top of the page with a line around it and the word type your search criteria here. The used types in a word and excel then looks into 3 columns below that have various data. If there is match then a filter action would kick in and only show the rows where there was a match regardless of the column.

My problem is that whilst dealing with large datasets, i'd like to be able to create a macro which will give me a pop up box to input different types of keys words to search within a dataset. Once these keys words have been found, i would like excel to highlight the entire line so it can be extracted into a new worksheet.

From a large set of process data, I would like to copy those instances where there is indeed a measurement available to a different sheet automatically.
The original data looks like this:
Time Temperature
02-Jan-2010 11:41:50 156.1
02-Jan-2010 11:42:50
02-Jan-2010 11:43:50
02-Jan-2010 11:44:50 157.3
02-Jan-2010 11:45:50
02-Jan-2010 11:46:50 156.8
02-Jan-2010 11:47:50 156.4
02-Jan-2010 11:49:50
02-Jan-2010 11:50:50 157.2
The resulting data shoot look like this (in a different sheet):
Time Temperature
02-Jan-2010 11:41:50 156.1
02-Jan-2010 11:44:50 157.3
02-Jan-2010 11:46:50 156.8
02-Jan-2010 11:47:50 156.4
02-Jan-2010 11:50:50 157.2
I have actually been learning quite a few tricks on my own since I started this data analysis project but I believe this requires some experience with macros, which I really don't have.

where to find a spreadsheet which has a macro to perform the FFT on data with > 4096 points? It seems Excel's internal FFT is limited to this amount. I searched the forum and elsewhere on web and have not found what I am looking for. I wish to enter the data in a column of the spreadsheet, preferably in a named range such as "Data" and have a macro perform the FFT.

Exel 2010 cells formatted to Time
need to look at h1 and h2 if no data ignore
other wise add data together if total exceeds 08:45
then deduct 45min from h1
if combined the are less than 8:45 then h3 must equal 8:00 by altering h1 only
Example
h1= 5:00
h2= 2:00
h3= 8:00
h1=
h2=
h3=
h1= 8:00
h2= 2:00
h3= 7:15

I am looking to implement the "Compare Documents" function (available in Word 2010) in Excel 2010 through VBA programming between different text contained in two cells.
In Word this function works quite well (not perfectly), but it highlights in different ways which part has been deleted and which one has been added between an "original" document and a "revised" one.
For the nature of my job, I need to do this on a daily basis and I used to output text from Excel to Word, then compare the two text, and then copy it back to Excel.
Here comes the problem: since in Word the text is formatted (and what I'm looking for is formatted/highlighted text as output), I can't just paste it in Excel as it is: any editing, merging, splitting done on the pasted text (that eventually I need to do) makes the formatting disappear (above all with VBA functions, that can only output data and can't format it).
In other words: given two cells containing different text, I would like to be able to fill a third cell with text formatted accordingly to the TextDiff output between the two original cell.
E.g.:
INPUT:
Cells(1,1).Value2 = "my name is Andrea and I like jogging" (original)
Cells(1,2).Value2 = "my name is Giovanni and I like running" (revised)
OUTPUT:
Cells(1,3) wll contain: "my name is AndreaGiovanni and I like joggingrunning"
Obviously, since UDF doesn't allow formatting of cells, I would need to adjust the main Sub for each pair of document I have to revise, but that won't be the problem: what I need is the engine. It's been two years and a half that I do advanced VBA programming at work but it looks like I can't grasp the rationale behind the LCS algorithm.

Essentially all I want to do is create a procedure/function in Excel such as =SQLdata(3), where 3 could be customer ID and then the function would make a connection to SQL and perform the SELECT etc procedure and return the CustomerName in the cell with that formula.
I have excel 2007 and MS SQL where my data is stored. I understand that I need to make the connection to my SQL database, but I really do not know how to do this.

I would like to perform a sum of randomly generated numbers between 0 and 6, but I want the number of independent random numbers to be dependent on another cell. I have =SUM(RANDBETWEEN(0,6) and then I get stuck. Is there a way to perform the RANDBETWEEN(0,6) a number of times stated in another cell? In this case that value is 67 but it will vary from around 5 to 150. I think there is a way to do this with macros, but I am not versed in visual basic. I am using Excel 2003.

I have two sheets. One is named sheet1 where all my data is and sheet2 where all my values are. I want to do a find a replace on column N (sheet1) using the data in sheet2. Column A on Sheet2 has all the values that are found in column N and column B on Sheet2 has what the data should change to.
So for example:
Sheet1 says the following on column N:
cat
dog
lion
bear
Sheet2 says:
Column A
A1: Cat
A2: Dog
A3: Bear
Column B
B1: 2
B2: 8
B3:15
I want the values on column N to be replaced with 2, 8, 15 and so forth. I use excel 2010.

I have a listbox with 8 columns. Multiselect is enabled, and it must stay this way. As part of my program, after the user presses a command button, I need to use the row indexes of the selected rows in order to copy the selected information into an array which is then placed in a different listbox, and then delete the items from the original list. Pseudocode of what I want to do:
[Code] .....
But my understanding is that .ListIndex does not work this way with multiselect listboxes. I've tried searching for a solution for a while, but I cannot find one.

I need to be able to query a large date range by a small beginning and end date range and return a count when the value is = each search criteria. i.e. - Search one year of dates from a table by Beg: 7/23/2012 to End: 10/21/2012 and return a count. The beginning and end dates are dynamic and I will need to reference the cells, i.e. B102 "Beg" B102 "End" and not a static date.

I have a fairly large spreadsheet with about fifty columns. Some of the columns have dropdown lists from named ranges on other sheets. The problem i am having is rather than filling in the sheet a row at a time the users are cutting and pasting the values in from other excel docs. Works okay but they paste over my dropdowns and validations making them useless. How can i use the Worksheet_change event to validate the columns that have validation lists whenever a change is made? Overkill- I know but I am using these sheets to load databases and if the value is not valid the load croaks.

Let's say I have one column of;
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
What is the most efficient way to change this into '3-columns & multi-rows' like this?:
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9
The actual list is a lot longer and numbers are not in order.

If you change format of 2nd page to landscape all subsequent pages switch to landscape.

I've been having tremendous issues with my Excel file, mostly with it crashing or not responding. Would this be because my file has so much data in it? If so, is there anyway to make Excel process all the data without crashing so much?

I have a file that became too big due to phantom bloat, unused range saved by Excel and all that kind of reasons. Thank to previous posts on that board tackling that issue, I was able to find how to proceed to reduce the file back to its normal size.
But I did so in a beta file (test file). The real file has become so big (103MB!) that Excel cannot even open it anymore! The file contains archive info that we do not have anywhere else.
Is there anyway then to open the file or to reduce its size without opening it (through magics...)? I just honestly don't know how to retrieve that info before deleting that file.

I'm have Excel 2010 and Windows XP. Each week I get 3 spreadsheets and each has data unique to it. Each spreadsheet has a week number column which is common to all three. I want to combine the three worksheets into one and make create several dynamic charts for management. How should I organize a large spreadsheet? In addition to my week number I have a host of other date fields. Some of the data I get is (1) vehicle VIN numbers (2) City/State/Country (3a) I break up the VIN to give me vehicle type (3b) year of assembly (3c) car type (3d) number of doors (4) mileage (5) complaint (7) defect code etc. etc. What are the do's and don't when setting up a large spreadsheet? I have data by week which goes back to 2006 and so my date fields go top-down. I inherited the three spreadsheets and would like everything under one roof, so to speak. One spreadsheet which I can make my charts.

I received a few 1-3gb xml files from the government and I would like to open them in an Excel format. I have tried opening them using Excel 2013 (both as an xml table and as a read only workbook) with a machine running 8gb RAM and a 3.4 ghz i5 processor. I left it running overnight but Excel continues to "not respond". The file is intended to display thousands of line items with around 40-50 columns of data. For previous (and much smaller) similar files, the saved workbook is a manageable file. The only hurdle here is getting these open.

I have XYZ Coordinates for a continuous 3-D line that has numerous segments. I want to input a distance along that line, and have it create the XYZ coordinates at that point. See Image for reference.
Row 2 is my start point - I input the initial coordinates here - this point is the origin of the 3-D line
Column B is where I want the calculated Y value to go for each point
Column C is where I want the calculated X value to go
Column D is where I want the calculated Z Value to go
Column E is the how far along the 3-D line that the (to be calculated) point should be at. (MD1)
Columns G, H, & I are given to me, and I use this data to generate the coordinates in Columns J, K, & L
Column O is the cumulative length of the line at that coordinate. (MD2)
Basically, I had planned on writing a formula to:
Find the coordinates of the point who's MD2 (column O) is before the desired point's MD1 (column E)Find the coordinates of the point who's MD2 (column O) is after the desired point's MD1 (column E)Subtract MD's (column O) to get the length of the segmentFind the distance along that segment that MD1 (column E) fallsUse that distance to traverse along that line to the desired point.

I work with Excel 2010 and have a very large spreadsheet with data that I need to manipulate in several different ways. I have been filtering and then cutting and pasting but this is very time consuming . Is there a way to extract specific data from the spreadsheet and transfer it to different worksheets?

I have data that as 872 columns - each representing a question ID (headers in the first row). I then have 1494 rows of data where each represents 1 unique person. In other words, A2 = Person ID and B2-AGN2=the potential answers to the questions.
What I'd like to do is compact this into 3 columns: "Person ID", "Question", "Answer".
"Person ID" will have duplicate values for each question that is answered.
"Question" is the Question Text
"Answer" is each answer to each of the questions.
So in a condensed form, my data looks like this:
ID Q1 Q2 Q3 QAge
3 1 5 8 35
4 1 2 12 64
And I would like it to look like this:
ID Question Answer
3 Q1 1
3 Q2 5
3 Q3 8
3 QAge 64
4 Q1 1
etc.
It would be fantastic if Excel has the functionality to ignore null answers and therefore just not even bother populating Question ID when an Answer is blank (e.g. they didn't report an age, so QAge doesn't show up under the new "Question" field), but I have no idea if that's doable.
I have a lot of datasets like this with a varied number of rows and columns, so any way to adjust whatever formula/macro is out there to work for those. I'm terribly new with macros and so I've been having difficulty adapting them if I need to.
I'm using Excel 2007.

I have inherited a series of Word reports containing links to charts in several Excel files. I can tell by the link in Word that one of the charts is named 'Chart 6'. Is there an easy way to locate which chart in the Excel file is 'Chart 6' (and on and on for all of the other charts linked in the Word doc)? There are upwards of 21 charts in each Excel file linked to each of the Word reports. I am using 2007 but the files are in 2003 format because of limitations of the program from which the data comes for the charts.

I've been unsuccessful in trying to write a formula that retrieves a single result based on two criteria (from a large set of data on a separate worksheet). I've tried various INDEX MATCH combinations but no luck.
A
B
C
D
E
1
DATE
TEAM
PITCHERS
RESULT
2
4/1
nyy
Sabathia
???????
[Code] ........
So this is a very simplified version of my real data set which is about 20 times this size. The first worksheet is where I want to store my retrieved results (lets say D2 for example). I want to retrieve data from the second worksheet that matches two criteria (exactly) originating from my first worksheet. The two criteria to be matched from the first worksheet are, for example, A1 (sabathia) and F2 (the date 4/8). The complicated part is the desired result should be from the corresponding K/9 column in the second sheet, which in this case (based on sabathia and 4/8 criteria) is I2 (result would be 3). It's complicated since I can't just tell the formula to look down a specific K/9 column, I need to search ALL the K/9 columns in the sheet (of which there are many). Is this even possible with some sort of nested INDEX MATCH? Any possibilities outside of VBA programming, or is that the only way?
