I have a list of purchase orders that's updated daily (it's a large list). As orders are complete, they are added to the list as "closed" instead of "open", but the "open" entry stays on the list. I want to find duplicate entries (duplicate rows of data except open/closed status) and remove the duplicate "Open" entry.
I know how to use the RemoveDuplicates method, but I suspect that method does not have the ability to do what I want. I can do this by looping through the Open orders to find duplicates, but I'm assuming there's a slightly cleaner more efficient method. Also order numbers are recycled so Order Number and Date have to match for it to be a duplicate order.
The data is structured like this:
A | B | C
Order Number | Date | Closed/Open
--------------------------------------
1 | 1 | Open
2 | 1 | Open
1 | 2 | Open
4 | 2 | Open
1 | 2 | Open
1 | 1 | Closed
In the above case, the first and last rows have duplicate columns A and B. In this case, I want to remove only the one that's "Open" and keep the other.
Does anyone know of a slick way of doing this? or should I just loop throw all the open orders to see if any are closed?

I have a sheet that looks like this:
A | B | C | D | E | F
1 NAME | TASK | ADRESS | ORDER_GIVER | COUNT | NOTE
2 DROPDOWN_2 | move | NY, xy_street | Ann | 1 | ...
3 DROPDOWN_2 | fill | CA, yx_street | Rose | 3 | ...
...
100 NAME | TASK | ADRESS | ORDER_GIVER | COUNT | NOTE
101 DROPDOWN_1
102
103 NAME | TASK | ADRESS | ORDER_GIVER | COUNT | NOTE
104 DROPDOWN_1
INITIALLY:
In rows 1-99 you find the tasks with 1 column empty (NAME).
In rows 100+ you find "Tickets" which can be printed (2 rows for example 100-101)
THEN
1, The ORGANISER (me) makes tickets with names, by ctrl+c/ctrl+v the "ticket structure" and by choosing a name from the DROPDOWN_1 list.
2, Then starts to assign the tasks (row 1-99) to people by choosing them from the DROPDOWN_2 list. (note that dropdown name lists contain the same names.)
After this I would like to have the Excel to fill in the tickets by the rows that contain the same name as the ticket. One person can be assigned to more tasks, but one task can only be assigned to one man. (So tickets can have 1 NAME but more rows depending on the 1-99 list.
I am asking you to help me make a formula or function for this "autofill" of tickets because I have been searching for days for a solution however couldn't find a proper one.
In the Similar problems and solutions section you can find 2 links which had the closest answer. Unfortunately neither of them contain dropdown lists. I tried to solve the problem with INDEX(MATCH()) functions, but the problem is that it cannot handle the changes of names.
Thanks you,
Max

I have a parts list with competitor pricing. One part number brings multiple brands up with the location of the company.
As you can see from the picture, I have part numbers for one item with three companies. I want to sort by part type. So for example I want to list only the brake pads. When I do this the blanks get sent to the bottom, but the blanks are not really blanks because they have additional info with them for that part number.
Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 | Column 4 | Column 5 | Column 6 | Column 7
Part No | Company A | Price | Company B | Price | Company C | Price
4656546 | Brand A | $5 | Brand A | $5 | Brand A | $5
(BLANK) | Brand b | $8 | Brand b | $8 | Brand b | $8
I have tried to use a helper column, but I have 1,000+ rows.
Does anyone know if you can link or have a relationship between two+ rows?
I hope you understand and if not. I can try to explain better.
I asume that a "blank" in PartNo means "take the PartNo from the cell above" ...
In order to normalize the PartNo (= get rid of the blanks) use another PartNo-Normalized column (e.g. [K:K]) and normalize as following:
K1 ="PartNo-Normalized"
K2:Kxx =IF(A2<>"",A2,K1)
Next convert all formulas in [K:K] into values !!! (Copy / PasteAs - Values) before sorting ... as a sort operation will destroy the calculated values.
After conversion to values it's save to sort, and you may create a filter on that column.
Depending on how well organized your data is, it might be a good idea to add one more column and fill it with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ... before any sorting so you can restore the original sort order just in case something nasty happens.
Glad to be joining the forum.
My question deals with attempting to return the FIRST value that occurs over several columns of data, using a pivot table that is filtered within a narrow time range. My current pivot table works by counting values in each column over the time rows. However I'm really only interested in the FIRST value that I come across for each person. So the raw looks something like this:
Person|TimeValue|Variable1|Variable2
1 | 1 | 1 | 0
1 | 2 | 1 | 0
2 | 1 | 1 | 0
2 | 2 | 0 | 1
What I currently get for a pivot using a range of time1 to time 2 is
1 | |2 | 0
2 | |1 | 1
Clearly, the time range I select includes MULTIPLE values in the same column, leading to counts of >1. What I'm thinking is that there is a way to use the same time sorting, but count only the FIRST time a value occurs in that variable, so that the pivot reports only the first time a value occurs within the range for the variables of interest.
Is there a simple way, or am I going to have to do this in VBA?
Much appreciated for any and all help. This is my first more complicated attempt with the newer pivots.
This is probably not the problem you would want to solve using a pivot table. You could just use the VLOOKUP Excel function to solve this issue in a simple way. VLOOKUP will always return the first value in the lookup range that matches the lookup value.
I have two datasources, one comes from an excel file i cannot change with this format
item | week 1 | week 2 | ...
ITM01| 12 | 23 | ...
My second datasource comes from a query and looks like
item | Week | Value
ITM01| 1 | 5
ITM02| 2 | 10
...
I need to merge the two tables to have, hopefully, something like
item | Week | Value 1 | Value 2
ITM01| 1 | 5 | 12
ITM01| 2 | 10 | 23
...
I'd like to achieve this in powerpivot, considering that I cannot change the excel datasource, and i would like it to be updateable by using excels refresh button, which means, i think, that i should not create custom tables to handle the transposition, as that might ruin the refresh.
I'm really lost on how to achieve this and some help would be much appreciated.
I'd also add that i can change the second data source to look like the first one(weeks on columns), but while i might be able to connect the two tables, i would still not know how to achieve the desired output with weeks on rows.
Thanks a lot for your time.
I'm trying to generate a table that shows a count of how many items are in any given status on any given day. My result table has a set of Dates down column A and column headers are various statuses. A sample of my data table with headers looks like this:
Product | Notice | Assigned | Complete | In Office | In Accounting
1 | 5/5/13 | 5/7/13 | 5/9/13 | 5/10/13 | 5/11/13
2 | 5/5/13 | 5/6/13 | 5/8/13 | 5/9/13 | 5/10/13
3 | 5/6/13 | 5/9/13 | 5/10/13 | 5/10/13 | 5/10/13
4 | 5/4/13 | 5/5/13 | 5/7/13 | 5/8/13 | 5/9/13
5 | 5/7/13 | 5/8/13 | 5/10/13 | 5/11/13 | 5/11/13
If my output table were to contain a set of dates in the first column with the statuses as headers, I need a count of how many rows were at the given status and had not yet transitioned to the next status so that in the Notice column, I'd have a count of rows where the Notice Date was <= X AND where the Assigned, Complete, In Office, In Accounting are all greater than X.
I've used a Sum(if(frequency(if statement to get me REALLY close but I feel like I need to have an AND statement within the second IF like this =SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(IF(AND
Here's what I have that won't work:
=SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(IF(AND(Table1[Assigned]<=A279,Table1[[Complete]:[In Accounting]]<=A279),ROW(Table1[[Complete]:[In Accounting]])),ROW(Table1[[Complete]:[In Accounting]]))>0,1))
If I take the "AND" portion out, this works fine except I need it to ONLY count rows where the given status actually has a date so if an "Assigned" date is empty, I don't want that row to be counted for the Assigned column.
Here's an example of what I'd expect to see in the results. I've listed the count in the each column as well as the corresponding product numbers in parenthesis. The corresponding product numbers are for reference only and won't actually be in the result table.
Date | Notice | Assigned | Complete
5/6 | 2 (1,3) | 2 (2,4) | 0
5/7 | 2 (3,5) | 2 (1,2) | 1 (4)
5/8 | 1 (3) | 2 (1,5) | 1 (2)
OK, assuming you have the original data in A1:F6 then with 2nd table headers in B9:D9 and row labels in A10:A12 then you can use this "array formula" in B10
=SUM((B$2:B$6<=$A10)*(MMULT((C$2:$F$6>$A10)+(C$2:$F$6=""),TRANSPOSE(COLUMN(C$2:$F$6)^0))=COLUMNS(C$2:$F$6)))
confirmed with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER and copied down and across (see screenshot below)
As you can see the results are as per your requirement. If you replace dates with blanks it will still work
MMULTis a way to get a single value from each row even when you are looking at multiple columns.
I used cell references because I think that's easier, especially when copying the formula across and having a reducing range.......but you can use structured references if you want
Have you tried using COUNTIFS to count based on multiple criteria. It is fairly well documented here: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/countifs-function-HA010047494.aspx (2007+ only)
Basically, you use it like
=COUNTIFS(first_range_to_check, value_you_want_in_first_range, ...)
where the ... represents as many pairs as you want (up to 127 total pairs), note the conditions are AND connection so if you have two pairs, the first pair AND the second pair must return true for that row to count.
