I have an excel spreadsheet that I need to find out if there are duplicate values for 3 of the cells within the range. Basically I need to see if the Last Name, First Name and Address cells in one row match any other row exactly and then push it out to another range so I can use it as a report of duplicate values. I've seen tons of tutorials on finding matches and using conditional formatting but not to match 3 cells, just one. Is there a way to do this without VBA?
=MATCH(1,(LastName_Value=LastName_SearchRange)*(FirstName_Value=FirstName_SearchRange)*(Address_Value=Address_SearchRange),0)
It looks for a Match of 1 in the given conditions row by row. If a condition = TRUE it returns 1, if FALSE 2.
If one of the conditions is FALSE it will result in 0 (*0=0). If all 3 conditions are TRUE it returns a 1 (1*1*1=1). This formula returns the row number if found.

I am trying to populate B2:D5 with "yes"/"No" ( Figure 1) based on the criteria that if I find the respective pvalue( Column A) , in the 'Test' column in a separate sheet and the Fvalue matches the column header of figure 1. I tried using the formula visible in figure 3. However, it incorrectly labels the cow and chicken columns. Which I suspect is due to it stopping at the first " True" value it finds, and not iterating over the other values once it finds said true value.
Use COUNTIFS()
In B2:
=IF(COUNTIFS(Sheet1!A:A,$A2,Shee1!B:B,B$1),"Yes","No")
Then copy over and down the grid.
Where Sheet1 is the list.
I'm trying to solve a rather basic question in a excel sheet using vba but I can't find the answer...
I am working on a timetable which is dynamically populated from an other excel sheet with boolean values True or False.
The named range is called "A" in excel and contains boolean values True or False. Every column represents a possible start hour. Every row represents a different collage with a starting hour and an end hour. Each row can have NO values (entire row = False = collage is on leave)
OR the row can have two values TRUE on different cells in the same row representing start hour and end hour.
What I would like to achieve is a to find ROW by ROW for a couple of boolean TRUE. If found the cells between the first and second True should be colored in let's say yelow.
I am able to loop in a named range finding a specific value but I'm unable to find a pair of TRUE values in a specific row. As a double check I want to be sure that the first an second TRUE MUST be on the same row. So it is impossible to color between 2 cells in a different row.
See picture :
Some advice or thought would be greatly appreciated!
You can do this with conditional formatting.
Select the full range and then use the formulas below in conditional formatting.
=COUNTIF($A1:A1,"TRUE")>1 formatted as white
=COUNTIF($B1:B1,"TRUE")>0 formatted as yellow
The formulas count the the number of cells with "True" for the specified range.
Another way could be to add 2 columns to the right of your data and use formulas to find the start and finish times and then conditionally format based on the time headings and the 2 new values.
I need to count the number of rows if conditions are true in 3 columns.
Currently I am using the below formula, but I need to sum for almost 500 odd rows...
How can this be done using array formulas...
Any Ideas?
=IF(AND(B4="B1",F4="D",AM4="X"),1,0)
=COUNTIFS($B$1:$B$500,"B1",$F$1:$F$500,"D",$AM$1:$AM$500,"X") will give you the result you want. It uses the structure of Criteria Range 1, Criterion 1, Criteria range 2...etc. You can include up to (IIRC) 127 conditions. Put that formula into a single cell and you'll see the result in that cell. You can also use cell references for the conditions and put your criterion into cells for easier modification or updating.
I have 2 excel worksheets. The first worksheet has 1 column representing route numbers and 4 columns representing values at 4 stops (see below)
The second worksheet has columns representing route numbers, latitude, longitude and stop numbers (see below).
I want to use the route numbers and stop numbers in the second worksheet to search the matching cell in the first worksheet and return a TRUE or FALSE as to whether the value is 0.
The result using my two examples would look as shown below.
What function would I need to perform this search and return?
Assuming your first sheet is Sheet1, you could use the following formula:
=vlookup($a2,sheet1!$A$2:$E$6,match("Stop"&$d2,sheet1!$a$1:$e$1,0),0)=0
The match will retrieve the column corresponding to your Stop, and the vlookup will match the row corresponding to your route.
I have two columns that are different from each other. One containing numbers and the other containing text.
Trying to compare (match) both to another separate worksheet.
Of course, I can VLookup each one separatedly but that doesn't give me the answer I'm looking for.
I want to know if the first two columns correlate with the other worksheet.
I also tried an IF(VLookup but probably did it wrong.
To sum it up. If Column A and Column B are both on the other worksheet, then True or False.
Here's a worksheet function that'll do what you want assuming you're only looking in 1 column on worksheet 2. Just replace the values in [] with the actual ranges:
=NOT(OR(ISNA(MATCH([ColumnA],[OtherWorksheet],FALSE)), ISNA(MATCH([ColumnB],[OtherWorksheet],FALSE))))
Here's an example using actual ranges:
=NOT(OR(ISNA(MATCH(A1,Sheet2!A:A,FALSE)), ISNA(MATCH(B1,Sheet2!A:A,FALSE))))
FYI: You could also use this formula for conditional formatting if you don't want to display it in a cell.
Just to explain it:
MATCH will return a number if the value is found, otherwise it will be #N/A.
ISNA will indicate if the result was #N/A.
OR will result in TRUE if either nested ISNA indicates TRUE. (Meaning 1 value wasn't found)
NOT flips TRUE to FALSE and vice-versa.
End result, if both values are found returns TRUE otherwise displays FALSE.
