Pulling Data From Differently Written Names

Nov 4, 2013

I have a spreadsheet with numerous transactions that contain the same name but are often spelled differently or inconsistently. I would like to pull all the transactions with the similar name and in a new sheet, make all the inconsistent ones, the same e.g. (space)mr smith or mr smiths or mr smith's or mr smith would all be mr smith. I am thinking of using the match command as a possibility but want it to repeat each row.

I am attaching a spreadsheet to show the existing table and the desired result which is similar to what I am showing below.

Example:

Existing Names and data
A B C D E
1mr smiths xyz10020%
2 mr smith abc12430%
3mr smith's def20040%
4mr smith xyz7550%
5simon inc zbc14065%
6simon's inc xyz20070%
7simon abc9525%
8shows zbd18045%

Want it to show Names and data:

A B C D E
1mr smithxyz10020%
2mr smithabc12430%
3mr smithdef20040%
4mr smithxyz7550%
5simon inczbc14065%
6simon incxyz20070%
7simon incabc9525%

Looking Names In A List With Names Written Differently And With Duplicates

Aug 26, 2008

I am using Excel 2003 and Windows XP.

I have been given a list of my firm’s target clients (in excel) and an opportunities report (exported into excel) from our CRM system, which lists all the opportunities (i.e. opportunities to sell/provide products/services) that have been created for each client. Some of the column headings in the opportunities report are as follows:

Client; Opportunity ID; Opportunity Name; Opportunity Description; Created by; Date Created etc.

What I need to do is lookup each client, from the target clients listing, in the opportunities report to see whether an opportunity has been created; and if so, return the row of values (i.e. the Opportunity ID; Opportunity Name; Opportunity Description; Created by; Date Created) for that client. The result will be placed next to the name of the client in the target client worksheet.

I have a couple of problems. Initially I tried to use the VLOOKUP function to lookup the client name in the opportunities report and return the Opportunity ID (I then planned to use the same formula to return values from the other columns); however, as the client names in the target client listing were not always written the same way as they were in the opportunities report, the formula often returned #N/A. The formula I used was

=VLOOKUP(A8,'Opportunities Report'!A2:F51,2,FALSE)

So for example, the first client that I was looking up was written as “ABC Ltd” but in the opportunities report it was written as “ABC Limited”.

My second problem was that for some clients, there were multiple opportunities listed in the opportunities report. Where this was the case, there was a separate row (repeating the client name in the first column) for each opportunity created. I think that was messing up my VLOOKUP formula as well.

Is there a way to look up the client name, from the target client listing, in the opportunities report even if it’s slightly different and return the row of values for each opportunity created for that client on a separate row?

I have a spreadsheet that has employee name and average hours worked.. The employee is listed multiple times because each row represents a pay period with number of hours worked. the last column I used to average the hours worked. So what I need is whenever there is a value greater than 30 in column g, I need to copy the row where column G has a value. It can be copied on the same sheet or on another.

Merging Data From Differently-shaped Streams

Nov 19, 2012

I have two sources of data (of electricity use) that I need to merge to plot detailed consumption. (Source B below needs to have calcs done on it and then be subtracted from Source A. Trust me, it just does). But their formats are transposed relative to one another, and one takes readings every half hour and the other once a minute. Plus, I'll need to append to the data periodically as more gets generated.

I'd describe my Excel level as "novice plus", i.e. IT- and database-literate but as far as Excel's concerned still trying to fully master pivot tables...

Source A looks like this:

DateMeasured in00:0000:3001:0001:3002:00
28-Oct-2012KWH1091087
29-Oct-2012KWH77878
30-Oct-2012KWH108877
31-Oct-2012KWH99877

Source B looks like this:

Time<More columns> kW_Raw_Data

28/10/2012 00:04<More columns>194.541667
28/10/2012 00:05<More columns>180.32
28/10/2012 00:06<More columns>156.17
28/10/2012 00:07<More columns>157.243333

Combination Chart: Present Source Data Differently

Sep 27, 2006

I've taken over a spreadsheet and been asked to produce various charts. One chart in particular asks for views of the following (hyperthetical) data from different workbooks on the same sheet

July 06 - 24%
June 06 - 22%
May 06 - 29%
April 06 - 21%

overlaid with this data

April 06 - 42
May 06 - 68
June 06 - 47
July 06 - 55

The problem I'm having is that firstly, the dates are presented the opposite way round, and secondly one set of data is in percentages, the other in basic integers. The spreadsheet data is large, and historically has always been done like this so it's not easy to change the way its presented, but is there an easy way to show it in a combination chart?

Pulling Data From A Tab

Jun 10, 2009

i want it to change the Header in E1 to the name of that price level and have the prices change according to that price level. The price level prices are currently being pulled from another tab through vlookups which lookups up the part numbers. My method only works with 1 price level right now and have no clue how to approach it with more then one price level. Also these part numbers will change positions and locations and are not permanent hence why i thought to use a vlookup.

Is there a way macro wise ( preferably through a formula ) that i can have Column E prices change according to the Price Level Entered.

Pulling Data From Dates?

Aug 6, 2014

In the little chart on the left, I have the customer name, when their story is due, and when it was completed. On the right, I want to show how many words per hour my journalist is averaging for each week. What I'd like to do in cells J2 through J5 is to have a formula that pulls out the total number of words written for all projects that occurred during that time frame. I can't seem to figure out the formula, though. I was thinking that I needed an array formula starting with ifferror and calling from the row functions, but I can't seem to get it to work out right.

Here's my sample sheet: sample data journalists.xlsx

Pulling Data From Website When Url Changes

Feb 8, 2008

I have written a macro to pull in data from a website each day. However the macro falls over because the end of the url changes slightly each day as the website provider updates the information. Unfortunately there does not appear to be a logical pattern to the number change in the url and so I don’t think I can pre-empt what the change will be. The path through the website remains the same, but the url changes as a new csv document replaces the old one. Is there any way of writing the macro so that it opens/picks up the current url rather than a fixed url?

VBA- Pulling Data From Website

Aug 24, 2008

I went through the thread http://www.mrexcel.com/forum/showthread.php?t=302438. I have similar problem of pulling the data from http://www.nseindia.com/ site. Could you please help me?

The navigation to the page required is as below.

http://www.nseindia.com/ > Equity > Historical Data > Security-wise data >

eg. NSE Symbol: RPL, Series: ALL, From date: 01-01-2008, To date: 01-05-2008.

After clicking on the 'Get Results' button it navigates to the page with tables. At the end it says "Download file in csv format". upon clicking this a csv file opens. (http://www.nseindia.com/content/equi...-2008RPLXN.csv)

I need this page to be opened in Excel sheet. How should I go ahead?
(Basically I need historical stock data csv files of various stocks)

Even though a simple web query opens the page, it do not work if the parameters (stock name, date) are changed.

I found that the last resulting page in csv is using a "REFERRAL URL". Could this be a problem? How to get around?

I know little bit of VBA and can further work to pass variables.

Pulling Data From Multiple Data Tabs?

Aug 30, 2012

I have a spreadsheet with multiple data tabs feeding a few summary tabs.

For this question I will deal with one summary tab and two data tabs, one data tab for sales and one data tab for service. On the summary tab, I want to look at vehicles sold during a certain time period-(looking to the sales tab). For each of the records in the sales tab that match the date range, I need to count the repair order activity on the service tab. The key between the summary and sales tab is the sales date, and the key between the sales and service tabs is the vehicle serial number.

I currently have multiple columns on the sales tab to perform the counts from the service tab, thus allowing me to pull the information to the summary tab. Problem is that the spreadsheet has over 2 million calculating cells and tends to take excessive amounts of time to recalc.

Pulling Data Associated With Countif Cells

May 14, 2014

I am tracking 3 different payment types, and the employee, customer and dollar amount for the transactions that can not be verified. All of this data is then transferred over the the "Summary" sheet. I found the Countif formula that will tell me how many times an employee names appears on the sheet, but I was wondering if it were possible to also calculate the dollar amount associated with those transactions.

I have attached the spreadsheet to better explain what I am talking about, but below is a very small example. I do not want to calculate the info on this page, but rather add another 2 cells next to where the number of unclaimed and the % of unclaimed are calculated on the "Summary" sheet. Sample spreadsheet2.xlsx

A B C D
1 Date EmployeeCustomer $

Auto Pulling Data From Different Spreadsheets?

Jul 29, 2014

i am currently working on a file that counts things during the day and then sums them up. i have a different sheets for each day witch are named 28.07,27.07,26.07 etc'

i want the current sheet to pull data from the last sheet, lets say from cell I10. so if i'm working on the 28.07 - i use the formula " ='27.07'!I10' " and it works just fine. but i want to automate it. lets say make a cell in every sheet with the name of the previous one (i figured out how to automatically generate it) and make the formula pull from there. so lets say if i use the cell B2 for the value of the previous sheet (27.07) - it should look like " =B2!I10 "
