On Excel Sheet 1, contain more than 2 columns, the first two columns is as follows. The list would update continuously, i.e., AC, AD.... would be added at the later time.
Drug Name
Mechanisms
AA
M1
AB
M2
On Excel Sheet 2, contain more than 2 columns, the first two columns is as follows. The list would update continuously, i.e., T3, T4.... would be added at the later time.

I want to prepare and update the Sheet 3 automatically, whenever the sheet 1 or sheet 2 is updated (with additional rows). Only the first two columns from Sheet 1 and the 1st column from Sheet 2 are needed. The 2nd column of sheet 2 is not directly copied, but all changed from C1, C2,... to N/A automatically.
Drug Name
Mechanisms
AA
M1
AB
M2
T1
N/A
T2
N/A
Would you mind to advice how to generate the Sheet 3 on the same EXCEL automatically?
Many thanks!

Hi oh you all wise people.
Not sure if it is doable.. But here goes.
I have a "master" sheet with a set field set (it is the same fieldset I extract every time)
Sheet1:
A B C
-----------
1 B 2 BA
2 C 5 AB
Sheet3:
A B C
-----------
1 B 1 BA
2 C 5 AB
Since B:2 has been changed from 2 to 1, it should result in:
Sheet2:
A B C
-----------
1 B 2 BA
I would like to get the changes between my "master" sheet and the "next extraction" of data.
The challenge (I think) is that I only want the rows with changes displayed in a third sheet.
Sheet1 : Master Data
Sheet2 : Diff Reporting
Sheet3 : Weekly Extraction
Anyone?
Following dot.Py's suggestion, I would:
Copy both row sets to a new sheet
Add a column showing which sheet each row originally came from, let's call it "Source".
Use the 'Remove Duplicates' feature in the Data tab, but do not use the "Source" column as a duplicate criteria. (http://www.excel-easy.com/examples/remove-duplicates.html)
After removing duplicates you'll have both the old and new row for rows that have changed.
Filter based on the "Source" column and then delete any rows from the old sheet.
I am creating a spreadsheet for my personal use. I need to count the number of times one column's values are equal to an adjacent column's.
Is there any way to do this in Excel without having to modify the formula every time a new row is added?
If you have column A and B now, add column C:
Column A Column B Column C
1 2 =countif(B:B, A1)
2 2
3 1
Then just copy the first value in column C, select the entire column C and paste :)
You will get:
Column C
1
2
0
In my workbook, I have a 4 spreadsheets - Data, Amy, Betty, Connie. Data has the following columns:
Column A Column B Column C Column D
Row 3 Employee Total tasks last 30 days. Total tasks last 7 days. Date/Time Last task Assigned
Row 4 Amy
Row 5 Betty
Row 6 Connie
In A1 - worker with oldest task Date/Time Assigned. Cell B1 contains the answer to cell A1 by providing the employees name.
I enter the data in the individual workers spreadsheets (Amy, Betty, Connie) and my Data worksheet provides the summary. On my data worksheet, I have formulas that count the number of tasks within the last 7 days and last 30 days by using the date/time assigned column (Column E)in the individual worksheets. Currently, if someone is out of the office, on their individual worksheet, I enter OUT in the task column (Column B) and the date/time that they will return in the date/time assigned column (Column E)so it will skip them for B1 on my Data worksheet. I need a formula that would not count the date/time assigned if they were OUT as a task, when calculating in columns B and C in the data worksheet.
Here is the formula that I have currently for Column B (total tasks last 30 days)
{=COUNTIF(INDIRECT("'"&A4&"'!"&"E1:E1000"),">="&(NOW()-30))}
The formula that I have for cell B1 is:
{=INDEX(A4:A14,MATCH(MIN(E4:E14),E4:E14,0))}
Any help would greatly be appreciated.
I figured it out:
=COUNTIFS(Amy!E2:E1000,">="&(NOW()-30),Amy!A2:A1000,"<>out")
Like suggested in the comments, the COUNTIFS formula is what you want to use. Information about its usage can be found here.
Adding the condition for excluding the "OUT" values would make the formula look like this:
=COUNTIFS(INDIRECT(""&A4&"!"&"E1:E1000"),">="&(NOW()-30),INDIRECT(""&A4&"!"&"B1:B1000"),"<>OUT")
I need to match data in column A2 and so on in sheet 1 to data in column A2 and so on in sheet 2. If the data in column A of sheet 1 and sheet 2 match I need the data in column B & C of sheet 2 to replace data in column B & C of sheet 1. I know VERY little about doing this kind of stuff so any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
SHEET 1
A B C
2 12345 5.35 9.95
3 15874 4.22 10.99
4 11111 2.24 5.99
5 98745 5.33 9.95
6 88552 4.24 8.95
SHEET 2
A B C
2 11111 2.09 5.79
3 12345 5.11 9.89
4 88552 4.01 8.79
NEED SHEET 1 to change to
A B C
2 12345 5.11 9.89
3 15874 4.22 10.99
4 11111 2.09 5.79
5 98745 5.33 9.95
6 88552 4.01 8.79
On a third sheet use these functions
column a ='sheet1'!a2
column b =if('sheet1'!b2='sheet2'!b2,'sheet2'!b2,'sheet1'!b2)
column c =if('sheet1'!c2='sheet2'!c2,'sheet2'!c2,'sheet1'!c2)
Copy sheet3 and paste the values into sheet1.
This should work unless column a does match. or if you need to do this dynamically. If column a doesn't match some vlookups can be thrown in.
I your data does match in column a your formulas could look something like this.
column a ='sheet1'!a2
column b =if(not(iserror(vlookup(a2,'sheet2'!a:c,2,false))),vlookup(a2,'sheet2'!a:c,2,false),vlookup(a2,'sheet1'!a:c,2,false))
column c =if(not(iserror(vlookup(a2,'sheet2'!a:c,3,false))),vlookup(a2,'sheet2'!a:c,3,false),vlookup(a2,'sheet1'!a:c,3,false))
this is too much to put in a comment so I'm putting it in answer.
The way I under stand is, since sheet1 has more data, you only want to be doing this comparison when sheet1 and 2 both have data on the row. so If sheet1 has data in rows 1 - 100, and sheet2 has data in rows 1 to 50, you only want to be doing this comparison for the first 50 rows in sheet1 right?
So, rather than copying and pasting formulas, what you can do is, in sheet1, find an unused column. go to the first row. in the formula box, type: "=if(" without the quotes. now, select the first cell to compare, according to your example you'd select sheet1, A2. then type "=" without quotes. then select the second cell you want to compare - in your example, sheet2, A2. then type "," without quotes. then select the cell from which you want the data if the first 2 cells are equal. in your example, sheet2 B2. then type "," without quotes, then select the cell with the data to use if the first 2 cells are not equal. in your example, sheet1 b2. then type ")" without the quotes.
so using your example, the function would look similar to how bigtree had it: =if('sheet1'!A2='sheet2'!A2,'sheet2'!b2,'sheet1'!b2)
so, this will compare sheet1 cell A2 with sheet2 A2 and if they are equal, the cell you put the formula in will the have the value of sheet2 b2, and if they are not equal, the cell with this formula will have the value of sheet1 B2. then, drag this formula down for however many rows you want, and the formula will adjust automatically for each row. you'll see the numbers increase. then, select the column with the formulas, right click and select copy, then right click and go to paste special, and click values. this will make it so the column contains only the values, not the formulas, now you can paste this data in column B sheet 1.
you can reuse this formula for whatever columns, just follow the steps.
HTH, good luck!
I'm trying to make a macro that will go through a spreadsheet, and based on the first and last name being the same for 2 rows, add the contents of an ethnicity column to the first row.
eg.
FirstN|LastN |Ethnicity |ID |
Sally |Smith |Caucasian |55555 |
Sally |Smith |Native American | |
Sally |Smith |Black/African American | |
(after the macro runs)
Sally |Smith |Caucasian/Native American/Black/African American|55555 |
Any suggestions on how to do this? I read several different methods for VBA but have gotten confused as to what way would work to create this macro.
EDIT
There may be more than 2 rows that need to be combined, and the lower row(s) need to be deleted or removed some how.
If you can use a formula, then you can do those:
Couple of assumptions I'm making:
Sally is in cell A2 (there are headers in row 1).
No person has more than 2 ethnicities.
Now, for the steps:
Put a filter and sort by name and surname. This provides for any person having their names separated. (i.e. if there is a 'Sally Smith' at the top, there are no more 'Sally Smith' somewhere down in the sheet after different people).
In column D, put the formula =if(and(A2=A3,B2=B3),C2&"/"&C3,"")
Extend the filter to column D and filter out all the blanks.
That is does is it sees whether the names cells A2 and A3 are equal (names are the same), and whether the cells B2 and B3 are equal (surnames are the same).
If both are true, it's the same person, so we concatenate (using & is another way to concatenate besides using concatenate()) the two ethnicities.
Otherwise, if either the name, or username, or both are different, leave as blank.
To delete the redundant rows altogether, copy/paste values on column D, filter on the blank cells in column D and delete. Sort afterwards.
EDIT: As per edit of question:
The new steps:
Put a filter and sort by name and surname. (already explained above)
In column E, put the formula =IF(AND(A1=A2,B1=B2),E1&"/"&C2,C2) (I changed the formula to adapt to the new method)
In column F, put the formula =if(and(A1=A2,B1=B2),F1+1,1)
In column G, put the formula =if(F3<F2,1,0)
In column H, put the formula =if(and(D2="",A1=A2,B1=B2),H1,D2) (this takes the ID wherever it goes).
Put the formulae as from row 2. What step 3 does is putting an incremental number for the people with same name.
What step 4 does is checking for when the column F goes back to 1. This will identify your 'final rows to be kept'.
Here's my output from those formulae:
The green rows are what you keep (notice that there is 1 in column G that allows you to quickly spot them), and the columns A, B, C, E and H are the columns you keep in the final sheet. Don't forget to copy/paste values once you are done with the formulae and before deleting rows!
If first Sally is in A1 then =IF(AND(A1=A2,B1=B2),C1&"/"&C2,"")copied down as appropriate might suit. Assumes where not the same a blank ("") is preferred to repetition of the C value.
