I have a data set as follows:
A | B | C |...
1abc | 1def | 1ghi |...
2abc | 2def | 2ghi |...
...
This is a collection of memo notes for each account in our database. The 1 in "1abc" represents the account ID and the letters represent some text. There are a total of 177 columns and 1866 rows but not every row has values up to column 177, some may only have two columns worth of data.
I need each column to drop down to the bottom of column A so that all data only occupies Column A. For example, all the data in column B would inserted after the last value in A. Data in column C would be inserted after the last value in column A after it's been populated with the data from B and so on.
In the end, it should look something like this (from which point I can simply sort it in ascending order).
A | B | C |
1abc | | |
2abc | | |
...
1def | | |
2def | | |
...
1ghi | | |
2ghi | | |
...
Can anyone help out with this? I am assuming that I need a macro and have tried working with the solution found in this post but couldn't figure it out. Oh, and I'm using Excel 2003 if that helps.
I am not sure if this will help but, from what you have given me, it sounds like you have 3 columns of data that you would like to be put into one column. If I am correct in my thinking, you can do this a few different ways. So as to preserve the original document in its entirety while adding an extended sorting system you could: 1: Create new tab. Then highlight range a with your mouse. Using your mouse right click and select copy (try to keep in mind the value of the range, E.g. How many items have you copied. Paste it in your now tab. Do this for the remaining ranges. Or maybe use V look up. If you would like I have a schedule module I have created that has many different types of range associations. You can also split sting in excel to divide the id from the sting.
Without VBA, add a blank row at the top and a column on the left populated throughout with say x and then follow the steps detailed here. Then delete the left-hand two columns and filter the remaining one to remove any blanks.

I have a table in EXCEL that looks like this:
ATTRIBUTE_IN_1|TYPE_IN_1|ATTRIBUTE_IN_2 |TYPE_IN_2 |
________________________________________________________
advance |String | accounts |decimal(20,10) |
education |String | Job_category |String |
date of birth |date | advance |decimal(20,10) |
and etc.
I want to compare TYPE_IN_1 and TYPE_IN_2 (2nd and 4th columns) for equal values in ATTRIBUTE_IN_1 and ATTRIBUTE_IN_2 (1st and 3rd columns).
In the result I want to see values, when ATTRIBUTE_IN_1 and ATTRIBUTE_IN_2 have equal value, but TYPE_IN_1 and TYPE_IN_2 (2nd and 4th columns) have unequal values.
For that example in result I want to see:
ATTRIBUTE_IN_1|TYPE_IN_1|ATTRIBUTE_IN_2 |TYPE_IN_2 |
_______________________________________________________
advance |String | advance |decimal(20,10) |
What formula can i use in MS EXCEL for solving this problem?
Excel doesn't really lend itself to this type of question. You can cobble something together, perhaps along these lines (for attribute 1):
=IFERROR(INDEX($A$2:$A$10,INT(SMALL(IF(($A$2:$A$10=TRANSPOSE($C$2:$C$10))*($B$2:$B$10<>TRANSPOSE($D$2:$D$10)),
ROWS($A$2:$A$10)*(ROW($A$2:$A$10)-ROW($A$2))+TRANSPOSE(ROW($A$2:$A$10)-ROW($A$2))),ROW(1:1))/ROWS($A$2:$A$10))+1),"")
This sets up a 2D array where the rows are the attribute 1's and the columns are the attribute 2's. The array elements where there is a conflict are set to 1. The rest of the formula is to get the corresponding values out in row/column order.
For type 1:
=IFERROR(INDEX($B$2:$B$10,INT(SMALL(IF(($A$2:$A$10=TRANSPOSE($C$2:$C$10))*($B$2:$B$10<>TRANSPOSE($D$2:$D$10)),
ROWS($A$2:$A$10)*(ROW($A$2:$A$10)-ROW($A$2))+TRANSPOSE(ROW($A$2:$A$10)-ROW($A$2))),ROW(1:1))/ROWS($A$2:$A$10))+1),"")
For type 2:
=IFERROR(INDEX($D$2:$D$10,MOD(SMALL(IF(($A$2:$A$10=TRANSPOSE($C$2:$C$10))*($B$2:$B$10<>TRANSPOSE($D$2:$D$10)),
ROWS($A$2:$A$10)*(ROW($A$2:$A$10)-ROW($A$2))+TRANSPOSE(ROW($A$2:$A$10)-ROW($A$2))),ROW(1:1)),ROWS($A$2:$A$10))+1),"")
It's interesting to compare this with the SQL for doing the same thing e.g. in SQLite:
.mode csv
.import book2.csv test1
select a.attribute_in_1,a.type_in_1,b.type_in_2
from
test1 a inner join test1 b
on a.attribute_in_1=b.attribute_in_2 and a.type_in_1<>b.type_in_2;
Good Afternoon all,
I've had a search but can't find the answer - please direct me if there is one!
I'm looking to make my spreadsheet have better readability to the user. It requires a lot of manual work outside of the sheet, so the less time strain the spreadsheet is, the better.
I know to to use =mod() in Conditional Formatting but this isn't what I'm looking for
I also know about opening the filter drop down, and clicking one cell, pressing down twice and pressing space bar (rinse and repeat) - but I'm not going to do this over 1000 rows...
Is there a way to alternate the colours from a filtered name in excel?
For example:
+---------------+---------------+--------------+
| Site Code | Site Name | Changed Date |
+---------------+---------------+--------------+
| 000020 | Bobs site | 28/11/18 | <-- colour 1
| 000020 | Bobs site | 26/11/18 | <-- colour 1
| 059201 | Julian's | date | <-- colour 2
| 059201 | Julian's | date | <-- colour 2
| 002237 | etc. 1 | date | <-- colour 1
| 523878 | etc. 2 | date | <-- colour 2
| 523878 | etc. 3 | date | <-- colour 2
+---------------+---------------+--------------+
So rather than by line number, it would be by the name "bobs site" would be one colour, the next in the list would be another colour etc
I would love for this to apply to site code and site name, so when filtering by either, the rows are highlighted correctly.
I can't do this in the =mod() kind of way, as some sites have just one entry, most have 2 and a few can have up to 10
EDIT: Proof of the answer working for future references
Doable with a helper column and Conditional Formatting with COUNTIF and MOD.
In the helper column:
=OR(A2<>A1,B2<>B1)
which returns TRUE or FALSE if the site code or site name has changed (or not) compared to the previous row.
Then 2 conditional formatting rules:
=MOD(COUNTIF($D$2:$D2,TRUE),2)=0
=MOD(COUNTIF($D$2:$D2,TRUE),2)=1
The mixed reference ($D$2:$D2) in the COUNTIF will allow for each separate section to be coloured alternately as the instances of TRUE are successively added up.
One solution; get all uniq values in a seperate column, copy column you want to refer to, paste to new column, remove duplicates.
Then select area with data and start refering those values you want to have that color i conditional formatting.
Edit
With more options use "AND" or "OR"
I have a column of few thousand filenames that are not uniform. For instance:
| Column A | Column B |
===============================
| junk_City1_abunc | City1 |
-------------------------------
| nunk_City1_blahb | City1 |
-------------------------------
| small=City2_jdjf | City2 |
-------------------------------
| mozrmcity3_somet | City3 |
I would like to identify the city within the text in column A and return it in Column B.
I've come up with a complex formula that does the trick, but it is difficult to adjust if more cities are added within the filenames in new entries within column A.
Here is an example:
=IF(ISNA(MATCH("*"&$W$3&"*",I248,0)),IF(ISNA(MATCH("*"&$W$4&"*",I248,0)),IF(ISNA(MATCH("*"&$W$5&"*",I248,0)),IF(ISNA(MATCH("*"&$W$6&"*",I248,0)),IF(ISNA(MATCH("*"&$W$7&"*",I248,0)),IF(ISNA(MATCH("*"&$W$8&"*",I248,0)),"Austin","Orlando"),"Las Vegas"),"Chicago"),"Boston"),"Las Angeles"),"National")
It seems like there should be an easier way to do it, but I just can't figure it out.
(To make matters worse, not only am I identifying a city within the filename, I'm looking for other attributes to populate other columns)
Can anyone help?
Use the formula =IFERROR(LOOKUP(1E+100,SEARCH($E$2:$E$11,A2),$E$2:$E$11),A2)
This does *****NOT***** have to be array entered.
Where $E$2:$E$11 is the list of names you want returned and A2 is the cell to test
If no matches are found instead of errors you will just use the full name in column b.
If you want errors or expect to NEVER have then you can just use:
=LOOKUP(1E+100,SEARCH($E$2:$E$11,A2),$E$2:$E$11)
Here's a round about way that works, not all my own work but a mish mash of bits from other sources:
Assuming the sheet is setup as follows:
The formula to use is below, this must be entered using Ctrl+Shift+Enter
=INDEX($C$2:$C$8,MAX(IF(ISERROR(SEARCH($C$2:$C$8,A2)),-1,1)*(ROW($C$2:$C$8)-ROW($C$2)+1)))
Annotated version:
=INDEX([List of search terms],MAX(IF(ISERROR(SEARCH([List of search terms],[Cell to search])),-1,1)*(ROW([List of search terms])-ROW([Cell containing first search term])+1)))
Help!
I enjoy Excel but I wanted to see if this were an option. I might even consider coding this in a simple javascript or so file.
I am trying to make a code that can be copied and dragged down on each new file that is made from our server.
On the file, there are NPA's and NXX's. If you aren't sure what that is, it is the area code and prefix. Like 555-111-2222. 555 is the NPA and the 111 is the NXX.
Well, I would like to create an IF statement that capture the various NPA and NXXs combinations and what their carrier is for our markets.
For example, 479-203 is Centurylink. However, 479 is in column N and 203 is in column O.
While I can create, if N2 = "479" and O2 = "203", CenturyLink, --- do another if statement.
I was not sure since I have another excel document that does not change with the values present if I could use that to help answer the question.
In columns A and B on another document have the NPA and NXXs. In the same file, column L has the carrier name.
Is there a search capability that I can use for this? If you name the function, I'll look it up too. I'm not picky. :)
Edit:
=IF(OR(N10="479",N10="870"),VLOOKUP(CONCATENATE(N10,"-",O10),[TnList.xls]AR!$A:$D,4,FALSE),VLOOKUP(CONCATENATE(N10,"-",O10),[TnList.xls]KS!$A:$D,4,FALSE))
You will need to add another column to the left of the data in your carrier spreadsheet and fill it with =CONCATENATE(B2,"-",C2) first:
CarrierSpreadsheet.xls:
NPA-NXX | NPA | NXX | Carrier
429-203 | 429 | 203 | CentryLink
123-111 | 123 | 111 | CarrierA
456-222 | 456 | 222 | CarrierB
789-333 | 789 | 333 | CarrierC
Then add 2 columns to your phone number data determine the carrier from your phone number spreadsheet. Column B needs to be filled with =LEFT(C2,7) and column A needs to be filled with =VLOOKUP(B2,[CarrierSpreadsheet.xls]Sheet1!$A:$D,4,FALSE):
PhoneNumbers.xls
Carrier | NPA-NXX | Number
CentryLink | 429-203 | 429-203-9999
CentryLink | 429-203 | 429-203-8888
CarrierB | 456-222 | 456-222-9999
CarrierC | 789-333 | 789-333-9999
Let me know if you have any questions.
PS - If this answer works for you please click the grey checkmark to the upper left corner or my answer.
You can use a LOOKUP formula which avoids adding extra columns, e.g.
=LOOKUP(2,1/(Data!A$2:A$100=N2)/(Data!B$2:B$100=O2),Data!L$2:L$100)
That assumes Data worksheet is your "other file"
You could name the columns; then the formula can simply refer to the names. But you'd have to name the relevant columns in each document; I'm not sure how well that would work for you.
Is there a method whereby columns in Excel (2003, 2007 and/or 2010) can be automatically shown (un-hidden) when the column to the left contains data?
Something like this:
IF column to the left contains data
THEN show column
+-----+-----+
| C | C | //If column1 contains data
| O | O | //Then reveal/show (unhide) column2
| L | L |
| U | U |
| M | M |
| N | N |
| 1 | 2 |
+-----+-----+
I'm guessing that VB code is required but am unsure as to what this would be.
Further to this, is there a way to automatically show the column going by the date (first day of each month)? This is a little more complicated. For example:
FOR all dates
IF system date = year(month.day1) //If it is the first day of a new month
THEN show column(month) //Then show the corresponding column for that month
ENDIF
ENDFOR
i.e. IF system date = 01/09/2012
THEN show column(September)
Is this possible?
Thank you.
Correct, you need VBA to achieve that. Use the Worksheet_Change event which fires whenever something changes. Then, use one of the various methods to determine if a column is not empty (http://ewbi.blogs.com/develops/2006/03/determine_if_a_.html, or just google). Alternatively, if this is to slow because if fires almost all the time, you could use the Worksheet_Activate() event (an overview of all Excel events can be found here).
If your column 7 contains data, you can unhide column 8 using MyWorksheet.Columns("8:8").Hidden = False.
Your second problem can be solved in a similar way. In the Worksheet_Activate(), check if today is the first day in a month using Day(Date) = 1 (I guess it needs to take into account that the user may not be using Excel this day, so the code should be a little more complex) and show that column using MyWorksheet.Columns("12:12").Hidden = False (or whichever it is) for December 1st.
All this code assumes that the columns are already there, just hidden.
