I have a macro that I'm using to check people in based on their name. The only problem is that the names are both First Last; Last, First; some have middle initials and others have Jr, Sr, etc. I know that this can be sorted through using a Regular Expression, but I have no clue how they operate. I've found many an example of Regular Expressions for VBA, but none of them translate into "Proper English".
View 4 RepliesI have two columns listing about 400 and 500 names respectively.
First Column has names in alphabetical order and the second column is random.
One column has names in this format: Last name, First name
And the other column lists the names as first name and then last name without the comma
I am trying to see if the list of names in one column exists in the other.
Is there a way to see this without changing the format of the names in each column? If so do I have to erase the comma?

I am trying to write a macro which will look at a search term entered into cell C1, then if there is a defined Name in the search range (AM1:DA5000) which matches then then name will be outputted to listbox 1.
eg if cell c1 = Out
then listbox 1 would return the following names from the above range:
Out1
Out2
Outer
Siderout
Outsider
I have the following code, which will only return the first instance it finds:
Public Sub findnames()Dim c As Range, rngDim n As NameActiveSheet.ListBox1.Clearmystr = [c1].Value**** ****Set rng = Range("AM1:DA5000")************For Each c In rng****************For Each n In ActiveWorkbook.Names********************If InStr(c, mystr) > 0 Then************************************ActiveSheet.ListBox1.AddItem c****************** ******************************************** End If****************Next n************Next c********End Sub
I have a database of names, (several hundred). These names are divided between 3 columns beginning at Row 20, C:20, D:20, E:20 Each name is within it's own cell. The entire list has been given a Named Range : ("Names_List"). Here's an example
Bob Mary Jane
Ted Frank Tom
Sue Fred Frank
Joe Tim Sue
Bren Max Lee
Luc John Paul
Frank Joe Ted
Karl Mary Jane
The names often repeat throughout these columns. Is it possible to create a script which can detect paired names? Say, to have an indication of a letter "x" in an offset column wherever these paired names appear. As an example, If i want to locate the names Frank and Ted, I could type these names in a blank cell, then run the script,( via a button) in which an indication of "x" would appear in an offset column. To look something like this:.........

I have want to search a cell to see if it contains one of multiple names from other cells.
I have a spreadsheet which contains -
Column A, which 100 rows containing different names.
Column B contains 400 rows of text
Now i want to check of each cell in column B to see if it contains any of the names from column A.
I have document1, which is a main list of surnames names, which then show 'hours', 'employment number', and 'post', in the following columns.
In document2, I have a sheet with a selection of these names, and blank cells for the named columns above.
What i need to do is have excel search and match the name from document2, to the name in document 1, and fill in the above columns with the correct data.
is that some of the surnames will show up more than once in my main list - so if possible i would like excel to then search the first name (which is in the preceding column) and match both the first and second names to the main list - OR - to simply return an error so that i can spot, and input the data manually.
I need to look up the name in E2 in the list in column A and if it matches then lookup name in F2 in list column b, if it matches then the corresponding number in column C is displayed in column G. If neither names are in the 2 columns the words"Not on lists" is displayed in cell in column G.
The other problem is one name is spelled two different ways I want it to look for both spelling before moving on to looking up the second name.
I started with this formula but I'm getting #N/A or "not on list" when they are on the list. I'm using ranges prod_sum is columns AthruC, Last_name is range BthruC. =IF(AND(VLOOKUP(F4,prod_sum,3,0),VLOOKUP(I4,last_name,2,0)),"not on list")
I have a spreadsheet with two columns - one with names, the other with values. In some cases, the values column alongside a name is blank. Is there a formula-driven method (not a pivot table) that could produce a separate list of only the names that have a value in the value column? The formula needs to be dynamic, not produced via a filter.
View 7 Replies View RelatedThe following code works to update the target sheet based on matching column names within the source sheet.
However, I would like to bolster this by not only updating based on matching field names, but also the primary key in column A. Meaning the data from the source sheet isn't always in the same order (based on primary keys) as the data in the target sheet. So I want to keep the order of the primary key in the first column and then update matching field names in column B through the last column where the primary keys match between the source and target worksheets.

I'm using this formula to count the number of times this statement is in Column "D"

I have an array 20 Rows x 42 Columns, which contains a competition draw.
I need to search this array for a unique value and return whatever the time is in the first column on the same row as the value appears, and enter it into column C in the Womens Times sheet.
I also want to return into column D the court number from row 3.
The reason i want this automated is as teams enter / withdraw we may need to drag the games from court to court to fill gaps, so i want the Womens Times sheet to update accordingly.
I have been messing around with index and match, but cannot quite get it to return what i need.
I have attached an example ... on the sheet "Womens Times" in column A there is a list of game numbers ( #1W etc etc) indicating womens game #1 and so on. The main sheet i am using also has a seperate tab for the mens games, hence the designator of W or M on the end of the game number.
I am trying to get a formula that will search one column range “B” and pull data from another, “D”. Dates are down column “B” and some of those dates are repeated several times. In column “D” there is only one piece of data (a number) entered for each day. Eg, if 08/06/2009 has been entered 3 times in column “A”, there will only be data entered in 1 of the cells of column “D” and blank cells in the other 2.
Column B -- Column D
07/06/09 -- 54000
08/06/09
08/06/09 -- 62000
08/06/09
09/06/09 -- 61000
I couldn’t get the LOOKUP function to work properly, as there are duplicate dates in column “B” and I often got a result of 0 returned.
As I’ve only got 1 piece of data added in column “D” per day and any duplicate days would just have blank cells in “D”, I can actually get a SUMIF function to work, SUMIF(B3:B60,DATE(2009,6,8),D3:D60). Although it does work, it doesn’t feel right using it and I would prefer a formula that would return just the one cell, instead of the sum of a range of cells.
I have a file with duplicate names of test id's in col a. In col b I have single test id's and col c I have test names. I need to search col a for exact match of test id in col b and if it is there then put the name of test in col c into col d.
See attached document. Basically I need to know the name associated with the ID in column B.

I have a Workbook with two worksheets in it and in Sheet 1 I have 10 columns of various text and numbers. In cell A1 of sheet 2 I will fill with a certain code that appears in column E in Sheet 1.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a workbook with a collumn full of football championships. As you know there are hundreds of different championships names. And i have a collumn with all of them but some are repeated over and over because this collumn is connected with values of profit/loss in another collumn. For example: Blue Square North (Collumn A1) and in collumn B1 1.75; then Blue Square North (Collum A2) and 2.98 (Collumn B2), and over and over...
So what i need is a formula that retrieves all unique and different names in a range collumn and the puts all the dfferent names in a new collumn (lets say C). Because what i intend to do then is to use vlookup to search for the championships one by one (through collumn C) and count the ones with profit and them loss by the name of each one.
So what i need is a way to retrive a list of the unique names in A and get them in C.
In a column i have multiple names, most individual names appear many times.
I want to find the names that have only one entry (appear only once)
Is there a vba that could search a column, and underline all the names that appear only once?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have two workbooks used for periodically updating product pricing to wholesale customers, one of which has all the product computation info and the other all the customers and products they buy. There is one main sheet in the product information book that has all the products going down the first column with a code for each item. The headings of many of its columns represent variations in packaging. The combination of product and package variations result in the customer's unique price.
I am seeking to find the intersection of product and packaging using names rather than cell numbers. Right now I am able to use VLOOKUP with the product name and named range from lookup sheet but I seem forced to use the column number rather than column heading name. As there are a lot of columns it's easy to lose track or make mistakes. Column name would be much preferred. We are still using Excel 2000.
Example of current reference:
=VLOOKUP("productname",mainlist,24,0)
I would like to use something other than 24 for the lookup column, like 'packagename' instead. I have reviewed the INDEX and MATCH functions but haven't figured out how to accomplish what I am after. Incidentally, 'mainlist' is a named range in a separate workbook but referencing as shown above has worked without a hitch.
I have a list of 60,000 names in a spreadsheed, column A has the NAME, Column B the STREET NUMBER and Column C the STREET NAME. Heres a small sample.

As you can see some of the names repeat, and that is exactly what I want. I want to write a formula in Column D that will indicate how many times each name appears so that it will show, for example, a "5" beside JAQUE D J" and a "2" beside "BAXTER P M".
I have tried using EXACT, MODE, IF ... COUNTIF wouldn't work because there will be some names that are duplicate but at different addresses, besides the range would be enormous.
