I work with large spreadsheets. I was hoping that someone would know how to create a macro that will take selected cells in column C and search all of column C for exact duplicate entries. The macro envisioned would let you select cells to test. If a dulicate entry is found I would need the macro to test the cells in column E against one another. If both C & E match exact (if possible maybe display the findings in a pop up box) I would like the macro to ask me if I want to delete the duplicate entry, if yes, delete the entire row. If no, skip it and move to the next one. If C but not E match I would need the macro to ask me to remove test cell. if yes, cut out the entire row of the TEST cell and paste it in a new sheet. If no skip it and move on.
Am I just dreaming or can this be done.

I am currently working on a project where i am given a sheet that typically has several hundred rows of data and not seemingly organized in any manner. This document has 6 columns, and my main focus is a range of dates (in MMM-YYYY form) from around early 2000 to now that can have duplicates. The dates(Column C), have corresponding Usages (Column D), and Costs (Column F) and I need to add these values together and remove the duplicate months so I only have one Usage and one cost Per month.
My spreadsheet has 6 Columns of data, and varying number of rows. Currently, since I receive the numbers in an unorganized fashion, my macro organizes the data into a table and then sorts the table be date so I have the oldest dates first and the duplicates are adjacent. There may be varying numbers of duplicates, though typically 0 to 4.
So I have the macro written, but I don't get the complete data that I am looking for. This is what I am trying to achieve
Here is an example of what I am trying to achieve. This is in the first sheet:
Column A Column B
Car Saw
Dew Jacket
Pen Key
Saw Screen
Hand Shoe
Jacket Window
Screen Sock
Screen Mouse
Now I want this in the next sheet:
Column A Column B Column C Column D
Car Saw Screen Sock
Car Saw Screen Mouse
Dew Jacket Window
Pen Key
Saw Screen Sock
Hand Shoe
Jacket Window
Screen Sock
Screen Mouse
In my current macro, It displays most of what I am looking for, but not a duplicate ID if there is one. For example Screen, there are 2 IDs. My macro is only getting the first one and then skipping over the second ID. I would like it to where if there is a double or if it is there more than once that it gets all of the data.
Here is my macro.

I will also attach the document of what I am looking for : Data 1.xlsx
Looking for a macro to find and delete all duplicates and keep only unique values from a column. For example column AS has
ACLU0403598
ACLU0403598
ACLU0403598
ACLU0406600
ACLU5165518
ACLU0406581
ACLU0406581
All red items need to be removed and keep only green items. Would also like the entire row the duplicates are in to be deleted.
In the routine:
Private Sub bttnPCsFind_Click()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Cells.Select
ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn = 10
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Application.Dialogs(xlDialogFormulaFind).Show
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
ActiveCell.Select
ActiveCell.Select
ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn = 10
End Sub
Is there a way to set the range of cells for the DialogFormulaFind to search against that doesn't involve Cells.Select? Functionally the above routine works perfectly but, if given the option, I would prefer to not have the cells highlighted (and thus darkened) while performing the search. If I remove this line altogether then nothing in the search is ever found. It is a visual glitch I am looking to get around.
Does anybody know how Excel manages the selection of the cells when performing a find using Ctrl + F (when performing a find using the hot key or menu item the cell range isn't selected (highlighted) ahead of time and thus, remain white during the search/Find Next). Is this possible to code this behavior using VBA?
My worksheet contains several codes that I then have to lookup in a different worksheet in a different workbook to obtain the relevant data associated with that code. At present I do this by activating the appropriate worksheet, Using Find to locate the appropriate field in that worksheet and then using activecell.offset to get the needed data. This is the only time that these worksheets ever need to be activated so I was wondering if there is a way to do this without having to actually activate the sheet. As an exapmle this is what I currently do:
' variables defined earlier in the program, Tempsheet = workbooks(FileNm & ".xls").worksheet("Temp")
Spark = Cells(TRow, 8).Value
' Activate the reference Sheet
Workbooks("Waveguide Properties.xls").Worksheets("Spark Bends").Activate
Cells.Find(What:=Spark).Activate
COM = ActiveCell.Offset(0, 2).Value
Edge = ActiveCell.Offset(0, 3).Value
SparkArray(i, 1) = ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Value
SparkArray(i, 5) = ActiveCell.Offset(0, 4).Value
SparkArray(i, 6) = Spark
' Reactiave the workbook and worksheet I am working in
TempSheet.Activate
I have a sheet with numbers in descending orders with duplicate in one row and their respective value in 22nd row. I want to find the2nd occurrence of that value. (max. occurrence2 is 2)
Foe example
5----4-----3-----3-----2-----2-----1
A----B-----0---- C-----0-----D-----E
So if i lockup value "3" C should be returned (not 0) and for 2 "D"

I have two columns of email addresses and I want to make sure that between these two columns there are no duplicates.

None of the tables are in the same format, which makes it ever harder for me, but all I want is a return of "duplicate" or "original", this will allow me to have acloser look at the duplicates.

I’m looking for a code that finds all duplicate words in column A & B and change the font of the found duplicate word in column B to ColorIndex = 11 and .FontStyle = “Bold”
I need this code to run frequently and possibly we can combine it with http://www.mrexcel.com/board2/viewto...272792#1272792
The wb is a dictionary and as I’m adding new words in new rows the wb needs to update. It is of course mostly important it updates when I open the wb, but it would be interesting if it could update for every new row (word) added as I might not want to close and re-open the wb just for this.
is there a way to create a condiction that will check in a colum if there are 3 or more duplicates and color coded to like red.....
I can do duplicates in general but i do not what to know about the 2 that are equal i want to know if there are 3 or more.
I have a long list of checks and I need to find the duplicates, determine how many dupicates there are for a given check (the criteria is if the ENTIRE ROW is dupicated), and highlight HALF of the duplicated rows.
I am able to sort the table however needed.
Here is the logic I was thinking of following..
If Row is Duplicated
Select Case Boolean
Case True
Count how many are duplicated
If count is even then
NumberToDelete = Count*0.5
For i = 1 to NumberToDelete
Highlight one of the duplicated rows in red background
Next i
Else
Next Record (do not highlight anything)
End If
Case False
'Nothing
End Select
End If
I'm trying to find duplicates in one particular column. I'm using this formula =if(countif($A$1:$A:$300,A1)=1,FALSE,COUNTIF($A1:A1,A1)=1) in the conditioning format tool but here's my problem:
I'm noticing that some of the cell values have spaces after the entries so the formula is not picking it up as a duplicate. Is there a quick way to remove those unwanted spaces after each entry?
I need to find duplicates subnet information in row F and mark the words "Duplicate"
Then I need to do the same with Row K. I need to find any duplicate subnet masks.
The reason for this is that I merged two orginizations into one spreadsheet and I need to find the duplicates in Company A and Company B's subnet and mask information.
I have a table that looks like this:

marina.silva USA, Norway, Bolivia, Italy, Ecuador... 100,45,67,8,9...

Searching in the net I found the following code:
VB:
Sub groupConcat()Dim dc As Object
Dim inputArray As Variant
Dim i As Integer
Set dc = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
inputArray = WorksheetFunction.Transpose(Sheets(1).Range("A2:C9").Value)
[Code]....
However I only obtain the first two columns concatenated. It says that for more columns repeat the loop, however I did and the result was not the expected, it returned me the same two columns again concatenated. How can I arrange this to fit my criteria?
I have a sheet which contains more than 8000 names (in 1 column), & another sheet which contains around 600 names (in 1 column), is there any way wherein i can compare both the columns & find out duplicates if any?
Sheet which contains 8000 names contains duplicate cells as well, but dat doesn't matter, i jst need to compare & confirm the sheet which has 600 names should be unique (Not included in 8000 data)
I want to search a worksheet for rows that share the same value in two columns (columns C and E). See the attached excel file.
I have highlighted in yellow some rows that have duplicate values in row C and E.
So in this case rows 14 and 19 will be hidden but rows 13 and 17 will still be visible.
Note that this must work properly reguardless of how the data is sorted.
In other words, there can never be more than one row that has the exact same value for both column C and E.
Sorting duplicates. In a big database
column A consist of 2000 names
column G consist of 2050 names
column M consist of 2020 names
How to identify duplicates using vlookup ?
I run an online baseball league, and the game I use to simulate our games has issued a new version which has updated ratings for all the baseball players. I have exported rosters from the new game and rosters from my online league to .csv files and what I want to do is find which players are duplicates in both files and line them so that I can scroll both files simultaneously and update my online league file easily. I also want the non-duplicate players to be sorted below the duplicates so I can deal with them later. Someone on the other forum posted some dynamic named range code and two macros and gave me some vague instructions on how to use the codes. I have posted the codes below with their instructions:
In both:
a) There're defined 2 dynamic named ranges:
"DataTable" as: =DESREF(INDIRECTO(DIRECCION(COINCIDIR("//Player ID";updated_rosters!$A:$A;0)+2;1;1;1;"ml_rosters"));;;CONTARA(updated_rosters!$A:$A)-

I'm supposed to find duplicates in sheet_1 Q6:Q251 and copy one of each to sheet_2 D6:D243 as well as unique values from the same column. In a sheet_1 B6:B251 I have values related to Q6:Q251 and I have to copy each of them to sheet_2, E6:I6 in the same row as the related duplicate (I'll have max 5 duplicates). You can find attached simple example of what should be the result (sheet_2)

I want to be able to search Column A for duplicates found in the other worksheet. When it finds those duplicates, iw oudl like for the Part Number(columnA) and the cost(column D) to be pasted onto a third worksheet (sheet 3)
I have found lots of similar things out there, but nothing that does what I want.
I will do this Each Monday morning. I am ok with VB but what takes me 3 weeks sometimes takes you guys 10 min.
Let's imagine I have many informations about 'Domains' such as Emails, phones, etc. My lists are long and it happens very often that I have the same domain (row) many times. No way to remember each time if I already filled the informations for this specific domain before.
THat's why I want to know if there is a way that ALL the informaitons on the Row of : Domain A will automatically be copied to another row where it will find another Domain A
The Conditional formatting (highlight duplicates) do part of the job by telling me where are the duplicates, but i need the other infos to be copied.
I have one workbook with two sheets. The first sheet contains the data in columns A & B. In Column A there are a number of values that are the same eg: A1,2,3,4,5 all equal "Home" A6,7,8 equal "Work". In column B there are "Comments" none which are the same.
I need a VBA that will search down column A in sheet one and find all the "Comments" for "Home" and transpose paste the comments into sheet 2 so A1 will be "Home" B1 will be the first comment, C1 the second comment, D1 the third comment and so on.
My sheet one will contain about 1000 different values in Column 1, so I need it to search for duplicates rather than the text "Home".
I have one column ("Account Number"). Each cell in this column has some combination of 8 numbers (all formatted as "General").
Here's what I need:
If an Account number appears once in said column, do nothing.
If an Account number appears 2,4,6 (any EVEN amount) times, make it a red font color.
If an Account number appears 3,5,7 (any ODD amount) times, make it a green font color.
What has been tried: Using the "Conditional Formatting" tool in Excel slows up the spreadsheet way too much (it's a big file).
Below is a short segment of my excel spreadsheet:
A B
1020.00242-89.84
1020 -88.11
1021 -85.3
1021.494-80.41
1021.49 -86.98
1030.04 -89.4
1030.042 -88.26
1030.94 -79.98
1030.933-81.5
1030.961-85.87
1040.0418-88.77
1040.391-87.3
1040.291-82.94
1040.016-84.12
1049.82 -84.7
What I need to do is write a macro that will find duplicates in Column A, within a changeable tolerance, say 0.1 (10%).
After finding all duplicates within a tolerance in A, I need to make another "Master" worksheet with the Duplicates from A, and their counterpart in B. So if A1 and A4 where within 10% of each other, the "Master" worksheet would contain:
A1 B1
A4 B4
using the values, giving:
1020.00242-89.84
1021.494-80.41
I tried using SUMPRODUCT and some other functions but just can't seem to put my finger on this one. I'm sure it's not hard and am overlooking something.
I have a unique id in column A on a sheet with 20,000 contacts. I need a VBA script to loop through the worksheet and when it sees that there is a duplicate in column A, it needs to take the data from columns B, C, and D of that duplcate and copy them to the first blank cell at the end of the original record. Then it needs to delete the row that contained the duplicate that it just copied. I have searched and found parts of code that will do some of these, but I can't get anything to work, I don't know VB enough.

I would do countif, but I do not know my values (this is from a report that I ran from a database) and it would take too long to find all the individual values every time I needed to run this report. So this is what I am looking for (a graph would work too).
