I need a hint is solving Excel task. I have two columns with data (let's say column A contains a list of people I have met in May; column B a list of people I am planning to meet in June).
Is there a function in Excel which will compare both columns and give me a list of people whom I have met in May but who are not included in the list of planned meetings in June, and show results in column C?
No, but a combination of functions achieves the result. Please try:
=IFERROR(MATCH(A1,B:B,0),A1)
copied down to suit.
If the name is not listed in ColumnC then a number should be returned that indicates the position in ColumnA where the name is present in addition to in ColumnB.
IFERROR
MATCH
With data like:
In D1 enter:
=IF(ISERROR(MATCH(A1,B:B,0)),1,"")
and copy down and then in C1 enter:
=IFERROR(INDEX(A:A,MATCH(ROW(),D:D,0)),"")
and copy down. This results in:

I want to compare data in two excel cells (from two columns) and write the matching values only to third column.
I have two lists of countries, column B has roughly 120 countries while column A has roughly 192 countries. I can't figure out a way to display the countries that correspond with each other (seeing if B belongs in A).
Here is an example of what I pulled off from another thread and it doesn't work for me.
excel question
Now, here is my spreadsheet.
My spreadsheet
I just want to validate and compress the countries that are listed in column B to see if they match Column A and print them in C.
Please let me know how I would do so?
Thanks,
You can use this formula in cell C1 and drag down as far as necessary.
= IF(SUMPRODUCT((B1=A$1:A$192)+0)>0,B1,"")
This formula returns the country name in the cell next to it if the country exists in the A column, and blank otherwise.
Currently, I am working with a scenario where I have 0 to 6 names in the field. For example, A2 has Bob Smith and Jone Random. Below is an example how they look in a check.

Basically, I want to generate a 1 column that counts how many people in A2. For example, two people and then create a function that will separate. Each of the names into different columns.
If you have the names separated by the Enter Key in Column A, use the below formula in Column B and drag it to the right upto 6 or more cells and then drag down,
=TRIM(MID(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE($A1,CHAR(10),"#"),"#",REPT(" ",999)),(COLUMN(A:A)-1)*999+1,999))
This formula splits your name strings with the Enter Key as the delimiter into multiple columns as you drag. You could then use COUNTA function to find the non-blank cells (number of names). I leave that part to you to google and find it. Hope this helped you.
Reviewed many threads on similar issues, but none addresses my particular challenge. I have a column (A) of dates (10K+), followed by a column (B) of event hosts, followed by multiple columns (C-X) of co-hosts. From these, I need to create 2 columns - 1 of dates and 1 combined list of hosts/co-hosts (each associated with their specific date). In other words, the co-host listings will be inserted into the host list (as a new row) and the appropriate associated date will be generated in the adjacent date column.
Caveats: (1) there are blank cells (in co-host columns), which need to be ignored; (2) the list will continue to expand each year (+~5K); (3) prefer a formulaic solution, if possible.
Can anyone assist? Many thanks!
For a formula way of doing this I would add the following formula into column Y
=B1
And then the following formula into Column Z:
=X1 & IF(LEN(C1)>0,", "&C1,"")
Then drag that formula across to the right for the 22 or so columns (the number between B and X). The last column should have what you are after, you could then Ctrl-X to a different part of the workbook. I have assumed you would like a column between the names. I hope that helps
I have a sheet with 4 columns of data. The first two columns show the name of a stock, followed by a PipDigit. These two values are connected and must not be seperated. The other 2 columns are another set of stock names and accompanying PipDigits. I want to do several things:
First, compare the stock names in each column and arrange it in such a way that matching stock names are aligned. The columns have different lenghts.
Second, I want another column to display which matching stocks have different PipDigit values. For example if for an Ebay stock I have a PipDigit of 2 in the first set of columns, and a PipDigit of 4 in the second set of columns, I would like to see message saying "different" or something similar. I have included a screenshot of the file.
If anything is unclear please let me know
This is the file in question
I believe from your question you are looking for the corresponding record in columns E/F for the 'Symbol' in column A.
The easiest way to get this data would to perform a VLOOKUP on the first column, looking at the data in columns 3/4.
In cell C2 you want the following formula:
=VLOOKUP(A2,E:F,2,FALSE)
This will give you the corresponding pip-digit from column F.
Now in cell D2, enter the following formula:
=IF(B2=C2,True,False)
This will give you a column telling you whether the pip digits match.
Drag these two formulas down to replicate for each row of the table on the left.
Sample Page I have a spreadsheet That I am having trouble getting a formula running.
I have a table that has a handful of columns, being brand, description and sales.
I need to get a formula that will automatically find a keyword in column A and B and SUM all the totals to transfer to another worksheet.
Example I have 2 similar products by name, Demo Firm, and Demo Soft. I have them sorted into text to columns to make it easier to search. Demo in the 1st Column, Firm in the 2nd, Sales in the 3rd.
I need to be able to search all of column A and find every word "DEMO", then I need the formula to Search Colum B and Find all the "Firm", finally I need it to sum up the totals of Column 3 of "DEMO FIRM" and place the sum into Column4.
I have tried IFSUM, IFSUMS, and DSUM but I think I am missing one little step.
I hope this makes sense, in my head I know what I want to do, explaining it is difficult.
Thanks for your help. Will keep an eye on my email if further info needed.
I have uploaded an image of what I am needing (SAMPLE PAGE at top of post). The formula that was commented worked for a my small sample. I just need to make sure it will work on an ever changing spreadsheet.
If it is assumed that your data fills rows 2-10, i.e. A2:A10, etc., but obviously this can be changed as needed. As I understand it, you want to sum up all sales into Column D, based on the values in Column A and Column B. You can simply use a SUMIFS formula in Column D, in this case D2 and drag down for all rows, as follows:
=SUMIFS($C$2:$C$10, $A$2:$A$10, A2, $B$2:$B$10, B2)
So if A2 contains DEMO and B2 contains FIRM, then this formula will sum all of the sales totals in Column C where Column A contains DEMO and Column B contains FIRM.
