I attached partial file so you can see what i mean. I pasted only a few combinations cause the file was to big and i wasnt able to attach it...there are 142506 combinations . But you can see what i mean. A VBA or a macro on the worksheet will do the job?
View 9 RepliesI have two columns of data, one with an ID # and the other one with a date. Some ID# + date combinations are repeated and I need to delete the duplicates. Here is a visual:
ID# date
54 19720211
54 19720211
54 19810512
67 19590312
89 19931104
89 19931104
I need to keep only unique ID/date combinations. I would need the final list to look like this:
ID# Date
54 19720211
54 19810512
67 19590312
89 19931104
I have 25 random numbers and I would like to get a possible 5 digit combinations of these numbers. Can anybody help me with the possible formula?

In the ID column of the attached excel file whenever I convert the numbers stored as text to numbers it results in a weird transformation.
e.g. an ID of 480610141001 becomes 4.8061E+11. When I do the same process in the name column, which has similar numbers, it will give the correct result following the same process.
I have been looking through the forums and found the below code, but I have both text and numbers in the same range. I have attached an example of what I need to have converted.

I have Column Headers in Row 1 (except column A), What I need to do is write a Macro or some code to
1.Search the entire row 1 for column headers containing the suffix _CSV and delete the entire columns.
2.Shift all remaining columns to the left so no blank columns exist. (There is a time stamp in row A that I wish to keep where it is.)
Next I would like a separate routine to sort the columns in the order of a Pre-defined list that I specify in a range. For example the list of column headers reside in the Range (A1:A200)
I have 2 columns of data (Column A and Column B).
I would like to be able to search the two columns and see if any of the data repeats in either column. Here's an example:
15844721565538
15907771565575
15936501574897
15946991576501
15970061576502
16095501578841
16124741578842
16124781578843
16124821578844
16166161578954
1616781 1616781
The list is much longer than this. I need a formula or whatever that would scan both lists and say, nothing matches, or 1616781 matches or highlight the matches or whatever, just so long as I don't have to go down the entire list multiple times.
I would have downloaded Htmlmaker and provided a glimpse that way, but the web site is blocked here at work.
I have created a desk planning spreadsheet in excel. Each week a mailmerge sends out an email to everyone in the office asking them to confirm when they will need a desk in the next week.
As the normal employee doesnt get involved in desk planning I want them simply to state whether they will be in the building or not by entering "GH" (our building) in a cell under each day in the email they get sent.
When the reply comes in we select the cells from the email and then paste them into the desk planning spreadsheet.
-----
WHAT I NEED TO DO:
Select some cells (must be in the same row - that we have just pasted in).
Press a button on the Worksheet labelled "Auto Assign Desk", which does this:-
For each cell that contains "GH", replace with the right-most cell to the left of the selection that starts "GH_"... (this is the start of a unique desk reference (GH_1_1, GH_1_2,etc.)
-----
This will assign the employee to the desk they were sat at last, when they are in the office next week.
I have a table that extends from A1 to S630 (the number of rows changes as records are added and deleted).
The function to add rows based on the date is fine and I have implemented, but I cannot figure out how to delete a row based on a date.
The date is entered on a sheet called Calendar in Cell J20
so Sheets("Calendar").Range("J20")
and the date is in column B of the table, which has been made using the Table function
Is there a way of scanning through the whole table deleting all the rows with the date entered into J20 on the calendar sheet.
I do have the following problem:
When I use the SUMIF(S) function and a criteria range that has numbers stored as text (eg: '394) the unequal operator (<>) doesn't work.
=SUMIFS(B:B,C:C,"<>493") doesn't work
I'm able to get the salary of employee 493 by using "493" instead of "<>493", but it seems that with the unequal operator Excel starts treating this ID as number. The only work-around I found so far is to use a wildcard e.g. "<>*493" or "<>493*". Excel then treats it as text again, but this is dirty workaround. What happens if an employee with an ID e.g. 1493 shows up!?
"<>'493" or something doesn't work unfortuantely..
Employee ID
Salary
'250
10000
'493

I have a workbook in Excel 2003 with two spreadsheet, a data sheet and a summary sheet. The data sheet contains account numbers in column A and monthly values from column B to M (April to March) for each account. Account numbers occur more than once in column A.
The summary sheet contains each account number as in the data sheet, but only once with a month column and a YTD (year to date) column. Part of my function is to report on a given month number as well as a year to date number as at that given month. For example if it is May, I need to report the results for May as well as April and May totals. Cell C 1 contains the value of the particular month (say month 1 equals April and month 12 equals March).
I need a formula or function to return the year to date results given a certain month (cell C1) for each account number. The sumif function does not help since it only returns values for 1 column. I need the formula to perform a sumif function but if I put in 2 in cell c1 I need the formula to add the values in columns B and C, if I put a 3 in cell C1 I need the formula to add the values in columns B, C and D.
In a spreadsheet I have a text column with entries such as:
2012
10 Times
10.5 Times
101 Times
25 Times
A Pure Text Entry
When I sort by this column I expect to get:
10 Times
10.5 Times
101 Times
2012
25 Times
A Pure Text Entry
Instead I get the 1st order. Why? I've selected 'Sort numbers stored as text' separately so it shouldn't be treating 2012 as a number. Besides I've checked & the cell formatting is Text.
My Excel program (Excel 2010) currently has several columns and each column looks for and pulls data from a specific file on my computer. Then I need to delete any duplicate data entries, count the number of unique entries and track the changes through a chart. I have everything done except I cannot figure out (or find on the internet) a way to search in multiple columns (more than 2) and delete just the duplicate cells. I want to delete the cells in a way where there is one left. For example if the code 12gf is duplicated three time, I want to be left with one 12gf (it doesnt matter what column the original one is left in). Additionally, column length changes and they are not sorted. I have attempted to attach an image of an example file below.

I am using an ODBC database connection to input data into an excel file. When I input the data excel stores the numeric data as text and puts a ' in front of the number. There is an exclamation mark beside the cell which allows me to convert the data back to numeric format. I need excel to do this conversion for me automatically when new data is added to the file.
View 9 Replies View RelatedThere is probably a really easy answer to this question but I cannot seem to figure it out. I need to calculate the sum of pages faxed on a fax report at my office on an excel spreadsheet which is downloaded from our server. It appears the file is not meant to be used in excel but it downloads as an "*.xls" file anyway. When I open the file I receive this message:
"The file you are trying to open, 'FaxCetailReport.xls', is in a different format then specified by the file extension. Verify that the file is not corrupted and is from a trusted source before opening the file. Do you want to open the file now?"
The file is comnig from a trusted source so I select "Yes" and it opens just fine. There are just over 50 rows of info, one of them being the number of pages. In a blank cell I enter "=SUM(select rows)" and the result is a "0". I have converted the cells to the "number" format, no change. When I right click on the cells and select format, the protection tab on the right has the check box "Locked" checked and unchecking it does nothing, it is checked as soon as you go back in to the protection tab.
The only way around this is to manually retype the numbers in a cell next to the pages column, which is ok for 50 numbers, but I have some sheets where there is over 1,000 entries.
I have a code that generate some combinations for a specific sum from a given data set. This code has two errors.
1. code does not look into data. it generates
2. Code generate those combinations for which sum is greater than target value.
E.g. first combination code generates is 3+7+10+12+12
This wrong by two means sum is
1) 44 while we need 40
2) 12 is not in data.
I want to do all columns combination that is (C=4^N/(3*N+1); N=4) for numbers 1,2,3,4.
as like this,
1111....2222....3333.....4444.....
1111....2222....3333.....4444.....
1111....2222....3333.....4444.....
1234....1234....1234.....1234....
I have stamps of 2 denominations: .32 and .33
I want to know how I would write/format a spreadsheet that would tell me what are all the possible outcomes between the two numbers and what the components of these two numbers would be.
For example.
(8 * .32) + (3 * .33) = 3.55
So somewhere I would be able to see that in order to achieve 3.55 I need (8) .32 stamps and (3).33 stamps
Lets say I have 10 numbers (1,2,4,5,6,8,9,12,19,13). Now, I am trying to get a list of all possible combinations (single digit, two digit, 3 digit, 4 digit... 13 digits).
Assume that the 10 numbers (this is a variable, it can sometimes be 9 or 11 etc) are in column A and I want all the possible combinations in column B.
Is there a way in Excel to identifying certain combinations of numbers? If tried every IF statement I know.
I have an Excel with two columns of numbers and I need to identify their combinations.
18
18
18
19
18
19
18
20
18
18
18
20
The combinations 18 and 18 would return a "LOW" message in the third column, the combination 18 and 19 would return a message "HIGH" etc.
I want to output every combination of a set of numbers. These permutations must include combinations that use only a few of the numbers as well as all eight...ie.
1,
1,2
1,2,3
as well as 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8
The macro below is from
http://www.j-walk.com/ss/excel/tips/tip46.htm
This only produces combinations using every number. I'm not sure how this macro works but hopefully someone with better know how could run with it or break it down for me!
I only need to achieve this once but am pretty sure doing it manually will cause error and or madness
Dim CurrentRowSub GetString() Dim InString As String InString = InputBox("Enter text to permute:") If Len(InString) < 2 Then Exit Sub If Len(InString) >= 8 Then MsgBox "Too many permutations!" Exit Sub Else ActiveSheet.Columns(1).Clear CurrentRow = 1 Call GetPermutation("", InString) End IfEnd SubSub GetPermutation(x As String, y As String)' The source of this algorithm is unknown Dim i As Integer, j As Integer j = Len(y) If j < 2 Then Cells(CurrentRow, 1) = x & y CurrentRow = CurrentRow + 1 Else For i = 1 To j Call GetPermutation(x + Mid(y, i, 1), _ Left(y, i - 1) + Right(y, j - i)) Next End IfEnd Sub

Am looking for an easy way to produce a list of combinations (maximum 6 numbers) from a range of numbers listed in 6 different columns:
Example
Column A contains : 1,2,3
Column B contains : 7,8,11,15
Column C contains : 12,16,18,19
Column D contains : 17,30,31
Column E contains : 30,31,32,33,34
Column F contains : 37,39,40
The rules are:
In each combination of 6 numbers, numbers should always be taken from ALL 6 columns. In each combination, numbers cannot repeat.
show me a formula to arrive the results.
I have 2 different sets of data: temperature data recorded at meteo-stations defined by latitude / longitude, and major world cities also defined by latitude / longitude.
After the user chooses the station's coordinates, temperature data is pulled out from the first data set; this works! However, I would like to be able to provide information about the closest city to the chosen meteo-station from the second data set.
File attached with sample data sets.
