Remove Duplicats And Find Common Data

Aug 18, 2009

I have a list of parts in Column A, often times with duplicates in the column.
I have a list of parts in Column B (from another source), again, with duplicates.

What I need is - leaving columns A and B alone;

Column C to be unique Column A parts
Column D to be unique Column B parts
Column E to be parts in common between Columns C and D.

Dependent Dropdown List - 3 Levels - Remove Common Entries From Selection - Show Relevant

Dec 4, 2013

I have scoured the net for the following and have not been able to find a solution. I have found variations but not something specific for the use needed here.

I have attached a file with sample data which has the following format.

Column 1 = vehicle model (in this example golf, jetta, but there will be over 100 choices)

Column 2 = vehicle package option for specified vehicle model (automatic transmission, manual transmission, automatic transmission with air conditioning, etc...)

Column 3 = vehicle colour available for vehicle package option

Please note that Column 2 values for 'golf' are different than values available for 'jetta' (in the sample data I have blocked out common values with the same colour for quick and easy identification)

Also please note that Column 3 values of colour options vary for each 'vehicle package option'.

The behaviour that would be ideal is to have 3 drop down menus. The first drop down menu will allow selection from column 1 and will show each model only one time and repeated values will not be shown. The second drop down menu will only show the options available based on the selection in the first drop down menu. Likewise, the third drop down menu will show the colour options available based on the selection in the second drop down menu.

Since my data will involve hundreds of unique values in column 1 with plenty more added over time, it seems that the format of the data and the way it is laid out in the attached sample is the easiest way to organize it. It is perhaps also the easiest way to include new data without a lot of reprogramming.

How To Find The Most Common Numbers

Apr 9, 2009

I have 300 number groups and each group has 22 different numbers (from 1 to 80).

Can I find the most common 5 or more numbers in these groups by excel, macro or any program?

for example, let us suppose that 4-15-23-36-45 are the most common numbers and these numbers are in 8 groups from 300.

How To Find Common Values Among 3 Columns

Dec 11, 2013

I have a fairly large timecourse dataset and I need to find all common values within all 3 columns. Also, when I find these 'common values' is there a speedy way to retrieve data in the same row that is associated with these values, instead of going back one-by-one and copying and pasting beside the value that the function has returned?

I am using this formula currently, but is returning an incorrect result--

Find Common Numbers Between 2 Columns

Aug 26, 2008

I need to find out common numbers between columns. Each column has multiple number entries seperated by a comma. For example:

Column A: "5592,12222" and Column B: "1,2,3,4,5592,123123" and Column C: "3, 4"

I need to find out any numbers that are found in more than 1 column. Hence, the result should be something like "3,4,5592". If no match is found then maybe can indicate by coloring the cell. My data is over 50,000 rows and 30 columns. I need to do this for each row one by one.

Find / Count Most Common Phrases In List

Jul 25, 2012

I've found a vb script via Google that displays the most common words in a list followed by a number.

Code:
Sub HTH() Dim vArray As Variant Dim lLoop As Long
Dim rCell As Range With CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
For Each rCell In Range("A1", Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp))

[Code] .......

At the moment this results in 1 word followed by a count.

How do I alter this so it shows 2 or 3 words, ultimately showing the most common phrases?

Find Most Common Occurring String Based On Lookup Value?

Dec 4, 2013

Find the most common occurring string in my spreadsheet based on a lookup value. For example, if my table is as follows:

Capture.PNG

- I want to calculate the most common value chosen by user 234 (A in this case), user 524 (B in this case)... and so on.
- I want to calculate the percent of the chosen value. So in the previous point, A was chosen ~67% of the time by user 234... and so on.

I'm not sure which formula to use. I am able to find the most common occurring value in column B using the formula below (which I found here), but how can I do that for a specific value, a user ID in this case?

Find Top 10 Most Common Words In Column Of Text Strings?

Find Common Words In Cells And Create New List

May 29, 2005

I have a spreadsheet of part #'s, descriptions, manufacturer names, and manufacturer part #'s. (It's a list of the inventory in my warehouse). Each row contains information for just the item in that row. Row 2 references another part in my warehouse, row 3 yet another, and so on.

Many of the parts have more than one potential manufacturer and part #, (meaning that any of those manufacturer's part #'s are basically the same tool; just different brands. At one time we may get a shipment of one, at other times we may get a shipment of another). For example, a screwdriver may be listed like this:

Part # 1234 screwdriver, mfg Snap-On, part # 456, mfg Stanley, part # 789, mfg Mac Tool, part # 439.

Then further down the list, there may be another part listed like this:

Part # 9980 wrench, mfg Stanley, part #741, mfg Snap-On, part # 852, mfg Proto, part # 369.

If you can imagine that data across the cells of a spreadsheet row, notice how the mfg name 'Snap-On' was the first mfg name on the screwdriver, but it was listed as the 2nd mfg name on the wrench.

So, here's my question: I want to be able to group all of the items made by any one manufacturer together in a new list. If all of the manufacturer names were in the same column, I could simply sort the list by that column, but since I've got thousands of rows with the mfg name I'm looking for in different columns on different rows, I thought maybe a macro could search each row for the word I'm looking for, then if found, take the whole row and copy it to a new worksheet. So the end result would be, If I wanted to see all items of which Snap-On is an acceptable supplier, I could get a list of all potential Snap-On items grouped together.

I'm sorry this is so long. I may have over-worded this and it may not be too clear. I could email an example of the spreadsheet if anyone needed more info to figure out what I'm looking for and was willing to take a look at it.

Find/Count Most Common Words & Phrases In List

Jun 25, 2008

I am attempting to take a very large list of keywords, and find the most common words and phrases within them. For example, if I had a list that said:

excel formulas
excel spreadsheet formulas
excel help
excel formulas help form
formulas for excel

I would like to come away knowing that "excel" and "formulas" are common words within the list.

Currently, I believe this can be accomplished by doing the following:

1. Break down each line into all of its possible combinations.This would mean that the line with "excel spreadsheet formulas" would return:

excel spreadsheet formulas
excel spreadsheet
spreadsheet formulas
excel
spreadsheet
formulas

2. Once the entire list is broken down into its many parts, use the pivot table feature of excel to determine how common each of the parts is within the entire data set.

So, my questions are these:

1. Do you believe this is the best way to solve my problem? If not, what would be the preferred method?
2. If this is the best method, what function or script would I use to accomplish the first step of breaking down the lines into their individual parts?

Find Common Values Across Multiple Sheets Based On Unique ID

Oct 24, 2013

The old thread is here: [URL] ....

There are three sheets in the workbook, Project, Tasks and Details and the expected resulting sheets are RESULT, In_Tasks_but_NOT_in_Projects and In_Details_but_NOT_in_Projects .

But now what I am looking for:

1. Copy the Projects data as is in the RESULT sheet.

2. Then in the Tasks sheet, if the ID matches paste the matching rows under the data from Projects (as in the result sheet with Orange colour)

3. If the ID is present in Tasks but NOT in Projects then copy it into the In_Tasks_but_NOT_in_Projects sheet.

4. Then If the ID and the Name in the Details tab matches with the data in the RESULT sheet then paste it under the ID and Name (as in the result sheet with Green colour)

5. If the ID does not match the ID in the results sheet then copy that row into the In_Details_but_NOT_in_Projects sheet.

The result of the current macro that RHCPgergo worked with are in the last sheet.

The formatting and colour of the rows doesn't matter, it is more of nice to have.

Copy Data From One Book To Another From Common Data In One Cell

Feb 15, 2010

Got an issue that I can only seem to do with things like the program Hotkey and making physical macros. I'm sure it is easy but I'm lost.

I have data in one book that looks like this (Call it Book1)

Date: Service
ProviderReason for callCRM
SR #DM
SR #WO #Device #Serial #Issue15/02/2010DATE: 03/02/10
TIME: 11:29
BUS: 1234AO
ISSUE DETAILS: Issue with Console


and data in another book that looks like this (Call it Book2)

DeviceSerial NumberNameTerminal PositionTerminal Group Location DescriptionTerminal IDDescription Service Provider 104012343030123456ConsoleDriver Console1234AO90401234Service Provider Name found Here

I need to find the BUS: 1234AO from the cell in Book1 then look that Bus up in Book2 and then from Book2 copy the Device, Serial Number, and Service Provider into the cells into Book1 and repeat this infintely often. The problem I have is the the bus can have 1 Console and 1-5 Readers and I need to find that data also. So for example I need to find BUS 1234AO and get the Console details and past that into one issue and the next issue will have the same bus number 1234AO but I need the details for Reader2 (that detail is in the Name field as shown above.) The issue details will always have the Console text and Reader# text in it.

The problem I have is that the Reason for call cell has ALT-ENTER characters in it and the details are not always in the same spot but the details are almost always in the format ####AO (four numbers and the letters AO)

Matching Data From Common Column?

Jul 7, 2011

Table 1

Code:
7/4/2011AMWG16=01BLK25K_USA[a3]*042711Date a Rich Black Man By June 232350$0.19 http://www.jyxsaw.com/blackrm/index.php?t202id=2676&t202kw=AMWG16=01_0210-3
7/4/2011AMWG16=01BLK25K_USA[a3]*042711Date a Rich Black Man By June

[Code]....

I've got two tables of information here, if you scroll to the far right of table 1 and look at the left of table two, you'll see a common code like:

AMWG16=01_0211-20
AMWG16=01_0212-16

and these entries will appear multiple times as well

AMWG16=01_0212-16

appears twice and the data is different and will need to be added up

How can I:

1. Add up the data on each table with the common string such as "AMWG16=01_0212-16"

2. Take all the data that has been added up and combine the statistics, for example,
when its all done it should show

AMWG16=01_0212-16

in the first column, and then all the statistics from the two tables in the columns to the right.

I'm guesssing...

Since some entries appear multiple times, you will need to sum up all the unique entries for that value. Say:

AMWG16=01_0211-20

Shows up three times, you'll need to sum up all the values and this needs to be done on both tables

THEN

You can combine the data

I'm familiar w/ vlookup, index, match functions, but I'm not quite sure how to put this all together

Copy Data Not Common Between 2 Sheets

Jan 8, 2008

I am trying to write a VBA code to conditionally copy and paste a range of cells on sheet A into sheet B if the specified cell value is not found on sheet B. Here's an example

On sheet A, there are phone numbers in column M that I need to find in sheet B. The reference column in sheet B is already a named range ("Description") which I'm using to conditionally format several cells in sheet A to turn green when the phone number is not found on B. This is the formula I'm currently using to do this "=AND( COUNTIF(DESCRIPTION, $M2)=0, $R2>0)" ...Obviously I'm using the AND function to tell the format to only work if the cell value of R is greater than 0.

What I would like to do to something very similar to what I already have in place, only now I would like to have a macro search through column M and instead of highlighting the proper cells...I would like to copy the associated row data from columns B:N in sheet A and paste special>values into A:M on sheet 2. Also, I need to keep the "R is greater than 0" condition in place.

Insert Data From Different Worksheet Based On Common Value

May 7, 2013

I have searched and there are some examples that are similar to what I'm looking for but I cannot seem to use those answers to make my problem work. The example from the forums that seems to match my problem the closest is [URL]....

Summary: I have an Excel file called "COST TEMPLATE.XLSX" that has product information (serial number, quantities, pricing), calculations and reports; then on a monthly basis I receive a file (VENDOR_EXPORT.CSV) with updated product quantities to be merged into the cost spreadsheet.

I would like to merge specific data fields from the VENDOR_EXPORT.CSV file into my cost template based on the serial number. I am attaching three dummy files that hopefully describes the issue:

1. COST TEMPLATE.XLSX
2. VENDOR_EXPORT.XLSX - which highlights the cells to be import and to which corresponding column
3. VENDOR_EXPORT.CSV - raw CSV file

My preference is to do this with functions, not macros. How to add the export into the existing workbook as a temporary worksheet, or just pull from the other workbook as CSV file.
