I want to return all rows in a particular dataset, with the value in a particular column. Without writing multiple vlookup statements and manually filtering the data. Can I do this using VBA, where it selects the data and creates new excel workbooks with this data?
I tried indexing, but it doesn't quite do what I want

Matching Headers from two different tables when the headers are not the same
So I am looking for a vba code design which can take data from two/three tables and compare the headers. To paint some context I have two tables a Transaction table and fact table. The col headers have different naming conventions but the data matches (at least on a majority of col headers). I have to daily compare the tables and its a nuisance doing this due to the amount of headers. So wanted to know what kind of script could be written to help solve this problem?
Thanks
A vba/macro which can do this once the two tables are referenced to avoid manual comparisons

I know we can easily convert or change the attribute to of data in a cell quickly and there are shortcuts for it but is there a way to check if a data or list of data in a column is saved as an int/string/date/etc?
I would like to be able to just quickly check if the data I have in a column is saved in the correct format/attribute without having to convert/change it again just to make sure.
Excel will make assumptions of what the data is automatically. There is no datatype like in python or other coding languages. There are functions for testing cells values.
Functions to look at istext(), isblank(), isnumber(), islogical(), iserr(), ...
so if you want to know the data type in B5.
=IFS(ISTEXT(B5),"String",ISBLANK(B5),"Null",ISNUMBER(B5),"Number",ISLOGICAL(B5),"Boolean",ISERR(B5),"Error")
To convert a number to a string use the single quote mark prior to the number like '50. A date in excel is also a number. To convert a number stored as a string into a number multiply by 1.
Edit---
There is a fuction =Cell() see the details here
=CELL("format",B5)

i to pick all zip codes(A:A) by city(C) and county (D)
I need to look like
is that posible? i need to remove all duplicates and get all zip codes for every county
You'd want TEXTJOIN() and FILTER(), where the 2nd parameter of FILTER() holds a boolean structure:
=TEXTJOIN(" ",FILTER(A$2:A$30,(C$2:C$30=B2)*(D$2:D$30=C2)))

I am trying to create a new colunm in a df that returns number of elements of a column row by row.
I tried this
df['Elements'] = len(df['Goals']) sadly all I get is column full of the same number, I understand what is returning are not the elements that the columns 'Goals' has in every row but all the elements included in the column 'Goals' in total. I do not know how to get the len() of the list included in the row.
Could someone help me, I would really appreciate it
I think you're looking for str.len():
https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/user_guide/text.html
df['Elements'] = df['Goals'].str.len()
You can do it with pandas.Dataframe.apply:
df['Elements'] = df['Goals'].apply(len)

I am looking for a way to automate checking a demographic sheet filled in by a trainee against an answer key.
Our sheet currently has data validation built in to return TRUE or FALSE on whether the answer matches the answer key, but I'm looking for a way to then display the exact text string, so as to provide feedback on the exact error.
For example the way it currently functions is:
Sheet1!A1=Cat
Sheet2!A1=Dog
Sheet3!A1=FALSE
What I'm looking for, is a to utilize VBA to generate a comment balloon on Sheet3!A1 and see the exact error for easier feedback.
I'm new to working with advanced functions in Excel, so if anyone has a pointer in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it!!
I Suppose your want to check Sheet1 = Sheet2 in sheet3, and show the error if does not match.
To make it simple, just use formula in sheet 3,
=IF(Sheet1!A1=Sheet2!A1,"",Sheet1!A1 & "|" &Sheet2!A1)
if they match, nothing will be show, if they don't match, it will show Sheet1figure|Sheet2figure
this is easier than showing True/False
