After a series of macros I am left with two tables. One of stock on System 1, and one of stock on System 2. The lay out is as follows:
Item-Id | BatchCode | Stock
My question is: Is there any way to match up entries? i.e. If the three values match, do something (highlight, delete, hide)
My goal is to isolate the entries where the stocks don’t match etc.
Both tables are of different sizes and probably contains something the other does not.
Another issue is that there can be multiple identical entries in each table, which breaks Match values from two tables in excel Vlookup solution.
If this is a one off procedure, and you just need the final list of unique entries:
Copy all the values into a single list.
Highlight all three columns of data.
Select the "Data" tab.
Click "Remove Duplicates".
This will remove all the duplicates, leaving you with a list of unique values.
It will also tell you how many duplicates were removed.

I am pulling my hair out here, For simplicity sake, here's the problem.
Column A has many IDs, some are duplicated. The Pivot table uses this ID Source sheet, and creates a table......now for some reason it shows duplicate IDS, instead of displaying unique IDS as a whole (like pivot tables should?).
I re-created another Pivot Table, thinking it was an issue with how its setup. The same duplicate IDS show. I thought perhaps, the duplicated IDS, have a space after there numbers, creating duplicates in the Pivot Table. So I ran a =len() on all IDS, there all the same length, no spaces......
I am lost right now as to why this pivot table is display duplicated IDS, when it does for some, and not for other duplicate IDS in the source sheet.
How many duplicate IDs are showing in your pivot table for one unique value in the ID data set? If its just two, then its possible that some of your IDs in the original data set are stored as text with a leading single quote mark. In this case, setting the entire column as format cells > general wont change them. Furthermore, the LEN test wont include the extra prefixed quote mark...
If there is a green arrow in the top left corner of the cells, select them and convert to number from the drop down...
So I have an excel spreadsheet containing 100k rows, and I have a list of "unique identifiers" that are listed on some of these rows.
As opposed to clicking the dropdown -> paste unique identifier, rinse and repeat, to grab all of the unique identifiers that I'm looking for, is there a way to say "show me all of the rows that contain this list of 20 unique identifiers"?
I will try and answer the actual question. :/ Just to reiterate: You want to see just the rows with the "unique identifiers" in another table. Actually will require more information from you.
Are the "unique identifiers" all in one column?
That is the easiest to solve (if all in one column). I would actually use a separate column to 'mark' these rows. Make a list of the unique identifiers using Formulas(tab) and Define Name. Then write a countif statement in the new column using the new name. Filter out all 0 values and you are left with all rows that match the other list. I have frequently used this when I need to identify a sub-list in a larger list.
Ex: =COUNTIF(List,A1)
First reply - ignore separate issue
No, there is not quick fix to show the unique fields. I wish there was. The best way that I have found is to do a quick pivot table off to the side and use that field as the main group. You do not even need to complete the pivot table because it will show just a list of unique items, which you can copy and past off if needed. It is a dirty fix but it is much quicker than trying check them through the drop down.
I am currently comparing data from two different sources in an excel spreadsheet. My left table is missing a few entities and because the tables are sorted the same way. I have been simply adding rows to the first table to make the rows match up.
Ill use this image to describe what I need a little better:
Consider these two different tables in the same worksheet. I would like a row to be inserted automatically above ID-5 in the first table to make it align with ID-row 5 in the second table. I would also like to do the same thing for ID row 8.
Is there an automatic process I could evoke in order to add rows until the data matches up?
If the right-hand pair of columns is comprehensive (say starting in C1), you might put, in E1 copied down to suit:
=IFERROR(INDEX(B:B,MATCH(C1,A:A,0)),"")
This does not add or delete any rows but should match the left pair with the right pair. If the right pair is not comprehensive list of IDs then append one ID column to the other and delete duplicates on that column to create a complete list.
Hopefully I can explain this decently.
I am attempting to merge two unique excel spreadsheets, with some of the same data, into one spreadsheet. When needed I would like to remove the data from the incoming spreadsheet. I am doing this as it would make it easier to edit one "like" spreadsheet, rather then keep and update two copies. I do not want to hide the incoming data, I NEED to completely remove it when needed.
Thanks!
It depends on what the spreadsheets look like and what, exactly, you mean by merge.
If, for example, the two worksheets contain a table each, then you could copy/append one table to the bottom of the other and use Excel's Remove Duplicates feature (on the Data tab) to delete rows.
The duplicates can be identified either by a single code-number column, all of the columns (meaning that the entire row is duplicated) or a selection of columns. Be aware that it is the first duplicated row that is kept, the subsequent duplicates will be removed.
If, on the other hand, you want to find values in the rows of one of the worksheets, based on a code number contained in a column of the other worksheet, and insert them into specific cells, then this requires more effort, perhaps with the help of the VLOOKUP function (or similar).
I thought I knew where to start with this but sadly I it's been long enough to where I need some assistance. First of all what I am working with is four lists of product data that I need to compare against my own product data.
So for example each of the product lists contain the following data:
Product Category
Product Name
Inventory
Product Price
Each of the lists have at least a thousand records.
What I need is a fifth list that tells me which of the competitors products I don't have on my list.
Last but not least and where this gets trickier is that the inventory contains duplicate records.
Its hard for me even to construct this question as I spend time with it.
What I want though is a list of products that are shared by all of the competitors that I do NOT have on my product list.
If you are familiar with PivotTables perhaps the multiple-consolidation ranges option could be used to suit your needs...
Select the multiple-consolidation ranges option by accessing the PivotTable wizard dialog (Shortcut: Alt+D+P) then enter settings in the dialog similar to below. The data is shown on the same sheet but could equally be stored in different sheets or even closed workbooks.
Rearrange columns and group product names into "Matched" and "Unmatched" as shown. There are several methods to automate the grouping, the simplest is probably to add a count column beside the pivottable and filter on rows where there are 4 items, then you can select visible items in the row field by pressing Alt+; and choose the group option. Rename this group "Matched", then filter for less than 4 items in the count column and rename the group "Unmatched"
Now you can compare all matched product names with your own list using a simple vlookup or otherwise.
