Convert Array Into Text And Remove Duplicate Entries From Text In Cell?

Jun 12, 2014

I have the following two columns, and would like to obtain for each individual Company, the corresponding Country values excluding duplicates as text in a single cell.

Company 2Country B
Company 2Country C
Company 3Country C
Company 3Country C
Company 5Country A
Company 5Country C
Company 5Country C

For example:
- For Company 2, a cell containing "Country B, Country C"
- For Company 3, a cell containing "Country C"
- For Company 5, a cell containing "Country A, Country C"

I've approached generating an array using an IF statement, as in =IF(INDEX(A1:A8="Company 5",,),INDEX(B1:B8,,)," "), which returns the following array: ={" ";" ";" ";" ";" ";" ";" ";"Country A";"Country C";"Country C";" ";" ";" ";" "}.

The question is: how do I get that array to produce, as text in a cell: "Country A, Country C". Note that the duplicate Country C has been removed.

There are a few "StringConcat" User-defined functions that I've found elsewhere on the internet, but they don't seem to be able to handle to conditionally generated IF Index array, which I would think is key to parsing between Countries corresponding to each Company in the list.

Remove Duplicate Text From A String In A Row Of Cells

Sep 29, 2009

I have a large worksheet and I managed to duplicate data in a row of cells.

MOT 1/F1,
B/P 1f2,
B/P 1f2


In the string above I need to delete all text from the first comma to the end of the string so the above would look like:

MOT 1/F1

This is an example in one cell of many. The text prior to the first comma may or may not repeat and it is the only portion of the text I wish to keep. The first comma is not always in the same place (character count position).

Remove Almost Duplicate And Change Cell Value

Jul 1, 2014

Have a sheet that has a bunch of part numbers on it. Column D6 (and down).

Some of these part numbers have a duplicate but they have a W at the end.

Example:

62590391W
62590391

What I need is for the macro to identify the part number without the W. Add the value of the same row Column I to the W part number same column.

And then to delete the entire row that the non W part was in. All the way down column D. Need it just for Active sheet.

Example:

Looking To Prevent Duplicate Text In Cell

May 7, 2009

I have one main tab which I pull data from other various tabs. To match data the data, I create a "common unique ID", in other words I create a column on each tab and connect various cells with the ampersand.

So in each of the various tabs (and the main tab), I'll have a column with something like =A2&B2&C3

If the "unique ID" matches between the tabs it will pull back the desired phrase, or it will be left blank. (Just using an =IF(ISNA) formula)

If you have followed so far, on my main tab, I have a column for each of the various tabs. The information I am trying to match could be on any of the tabs, so I need a column using an =IF(ISNA) formula to attempt to match each tab. So, on the main tab, there are several columns which might have the phrase I am looking for. I use another ampersand function to add those columns. My problem is that occaisionally, what I am looking for is on multiple tabs. So, if I am normally pulling the phrase "Pending Loans Report" when a match is made, if it is on two tabs, the cell will add it twice "Pending Loans ReportPending Loans Report"

I realize this is confusing, so I attached a spreadsheet. The "main" tab I was referring to is sheet1. I really simplified it down to post here, but I think the main idea of my problem is still evident. The problem is line 15. Note how column M has "Pending Loans ReportPending Loans Report" - I'd like it to only say this phrase once. The macro pastes special values at the end, but I've highlighted some cells in red which show the formulas I used for that column. Columns N, O, P, Q, etc. all have virtually the same formula.

Remove Duplicate Addresses

Jul 6, 2009

I have 2 issues i am trying to work through, i have a spreadsheet with 3 data sheet tabs, the first issue i have is in Data sheet 1 I have a lot of duplicate addresses, I was wondering if there is a way to filter out the duplicate addresses so that only one of each address is showing.

Issue 2 that i have is a lot more complicated, In data sheet 1 i have a list of medical providers that reimburst at 110% or more, each address on that list needs to get 1 letter mailed to them, but i have to keep track of how many are going to each region, i.e. Columbus, OH region, Cincinnati, OH Region, Toledo, OH Region, and Cleveland, OH region. So what i want to do is create a 3rd data sheet that keeps track of total letters sent by region, but was wondering if it was possible for this info to be automatically transfered from data sheet 1 to data sheet 3. I don't need all the information in data sheet 1 to tranfer to data sheet 3. All i need is for data sheet 3 to read off the City field in data sheet 1, and calculate 1 letter sent to that region.

I dont even know if this is possible, but it is way beyond my realm of excel knowledge which isn't much.

Any help would be appreciated. I am trying to attach the spreadsheet, however it isn't allowing me to attach it, i keep getting a database error, when i upload it. It is under the max size limit too. Not sure what's going on.

Remove Duplicate In List

Sep 4, 2013

I used to have a macro that did this for me, but the layout of the exported data has changed and now the whole macro has had to be rebuilt.

I've got a list of two pieces of data: Material (Column A) and Order (Column B). I'm putting a spreadsheet together and populating it with VLookUps. This spreadsheet will list the materials and the Orders after each, but then I also want to list the second Order in the next cell if there is a second order.

For instance, in the below, Material 10880873 has two different Orders. The first VLookUp grabs Order 513792568. I need the second VLookUp to grab the next Order 513792569.

MaterialOrder
12012223513571068
12149080513739571
10880873513792568
10880873513792569
12215347513792570
12160123513801190

How Do I Remove Duplicate Cells

Jan 25, 2010

I have two columns each of 5000 cells. Some cells of column A are duplicated in column B. The duplicates are not necessarily on the same rows. How do I delete the duplicates?

I've spent hours researching for an answer and I've tried Data>Filter>Advanced Filter many many times and it does not work. The two columns just sit there. Shouldn't this be a very easy thing to do in Excel?

i have a few thousand entries and am just trying to get rid of all the duplicate rows. The problem is that the duplicate rows are not IDENTICAL for instance soime of them may have spelling mistakes hence i cannot just do a straight forward if row = row then delete.

Remove Partial Text From Cell

Apr 25, 2012

I am copying text (contest results from another website) and posting into excel. As it is formatted on the original site, it posts the place, followed by a period, then the team name, then a dash, then the score.

Example ... 4. Smokers Purgatory - 662.2858

To place it in our database we need the period removed from the place, and the dash and score removed.

Example ... 4 Smokers Purgatory

Is this possible to automate in excel or is there a way to format so that excel seperates the place, team name and score? Or should I be looking for a different method?

Function (not VB) To Remove Text From Cell?

Jun 30, 2012

way to use a function to remove text from a cell. I cannot use VB code, due to the spreadsheet being integrated in an operational software application - already tried it and get nothing but errors from the application. Was also trying to use a Find and replace function, but it's not working.

Here's the scenario - I have a cell that returns the weight of a product from the system, but it includes "LB" or "KG" in the cell along with the weight. I do not know how many characters will be returned to the cell, as it depends on the product. It could be a single digit up to 10 digits, including a decimal point. I need to clean up the cell to only a number, because in the next function, I am trying to round up the number that is left in that cell (won't round up with KG or LB in the way).

"=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("m",I32)), SUBSTITUTE(I32, "m", ""),IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("h",I32)), SUBSTITUTE(I32, "h","")*60, ""))

However, it wont work for the "1h 30m" combination.

How To Remove Duplicate Values Of Last Name List

Apr 24, 2014

So for a project I need to put together a list of Portuguese-speaking last names. So I have various sources where I copied from, so I have one column in excel where I put all that data. I sorted the data to be in the correct alphabetical order. But when I try to remove the duplicate values in that column is says it removed them but it didn't and when it does it leaves many behind. I have tried the trim function, and even formatting but nothing works. I attached the non-formatted and non-trimmed list, because it doesn't seem to be making a difference.

Macro To Remove Duplicate Data?

Aug 17, 2014

I am trying to create a summary sheet that updates when input data is added.

I'm still learning many parts of excel and I'm unsure why the SUMIF function on occasion leaves duplicate data in.

I can live with the fact that I will need to correct the input data and am willing to just paste in corrected data when it has been validated via the data validation tab.

Once this has been done, all I am seeking is for a subsequent process to start which updates a summary sheet with the sums correctly adding via the sumif function.

I have left some instructions on the actual spreadsheet to clarify my intended results.

Keep Only Duplicate Records And Remove The Rest

Dec 12, 2012

My spreadsheet has more than 200 columns and 5000 rows of data and blanks. When I select all columns and rows and remove the duplicates, 6 records are removed. I need to only keep and be able to identify those 6 records. I could use something like =IF(COUNTIF($A$2:A2,A2)=1,1,0) if I had only few columns that would identify dups but since there are so many columns it would be prodigious job to create one formula for each column and filter through 200.
