I'm not sure how I would go about creating a macro (or maybe even an Access query?) for what I'm looking at here. I have a spreadsheet of tens of thousands of customer names/numbers with product data. If a customer has bought two (or more) products, it reflects as multiple entries on the spreadsheet (example below).
Name # Product
----------------------------
Bob 101 Product 1
Joe 102 Product 3
Bob 101 Product 2
Bob 101 Product 3
Hank 103 Product 2
Susan 104 Product 1
Hank 103 Product 3
I want to run something on that spreadsheet that combines the entries into one line, such as the example below. I'm not concerned about how the "products" are delineated... comma, line break, space, whatever. But I would like the end result to look something like this
Name # Products
-----------------------------------------------
Bob 101 Product 1, Product 2, Product 3
Joe 102 Product 3
Hank 103 Product 2, Product 3
Susan 104 Product 1
But I'm not even sure where to start. Any ideas to at least get me in the right direction?
Sort on Product within Name and in D2 (?):
=IF(A1=A2,D1&", "&C2,C2)
in E2:
=A2<>A3.
Copy both down, select all, Copy, Paste Special, Values over the top, filter to select FALSE for ColumnE and delete all visible.

I have the following data in spreadsheet A.
name trait1 trait2 nice
0 Adam 29 81 0
1 Barry 17 75 1
2 Chris 62 0 1
I wish to create a spreadsheet B that will be a filtered copy of this data. Namely, let's assume for a moment that I want to filter nice = 1 and am interested only in column name. The copy in spreadsheet B would be as shown below. In spreadsheet B I wish to be adding some extra columns, e.g. education.
name nice education
1 Barry 1 primary
2 Chris 1 university
What I want to achieve is a spreadsheet B that will get updated if anything changes in spreadsheet A. So for example, if I were to change the name Barry to Ben. The spreadsheet B would become the following.
name nice education
1 Ben 1 primary
2 Chris 1 university
Similarly (and what I find to be the hardest), if a row is added in spreadsheet A, e.g.
name trait1 trait2 nice
0 Adam 29 81 0
1 Barry 17 75 1
2 Matt 69 11 1
3 Chris 62 0 1
The updated spreadsheet B would be as follows:
name nice education
1 Barry 1 primary
2 Matt 1
3 Chris 1 university
So I want the education column to remain the same.
My approach of using a combination of =IF() and =VLOOKUP() functions ultimately did not work. Guess I am really curious about how to connect rows of education to names. So that when a row is added in spreadsheet A, then spreadsheet B gets updated but the education field connected to the new row is empty and will be filled by hand later on.
Since you are looking for a finished product to be in Google Sheets, I'd advise to use QUERY():
Formula in I1:
=QUERY(INDEX({A:D,VLOOKUP(A:A,F:G,2,0)}),"Select Col1,Col4,Col5 where Col4=1")
Note: I made the assumption you pull the education in through a VLOOKUP() (since you mentioned that in the body of the question).
I have two Excel tables that look like this:
Table 1
A B C
ID Stocked Sale
1 shelf sold
5 display sold
9 shelf sold
12 shelf sold
13 shelf
Table 2
P Q
ID Stocked
a2 apple
88
83
1 apple
9 apple
I need to count the total number of apples by common ID, given that apples are:
stocked on the shelf in Table 1
sold in Table 1
So, the outcome has to be 2 apples.
Here is what I have tried thus far:
COUNTIFS(B:B, "shelf", C:C, "sold", Q:Q, "apple")
I can't figure out how to count by common id...
Something like this should work for you:
=SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIFS(A:A,REPT($P$2:$P$6,$Q$2:$Q$6="apple"),B:B,"shelf",C:C,"sold"))
I have a list of companies with multiple contacts for each company, but I would like to create separate lists with 1 unique contact per company. E.g.
Original list
Name Company Email
John AAA john#aaa.com
David AAA david#aaa.com
Jane BBB jane#bbb.com
Julia CCC julia#ccc.com
Craigh CCC craig#ccc.com
John CCC john#ccc.com
In this case, to have 1 unique record from each company in a separate list, I want to end up with 3 separate lists:
List 1
Name Company Email
John AAA john#aaa.com
Jane BBB jane#bbb.com
Julia CCC julia#ccc.com
List 2
Name Company Email
David AAA david#aaa.com
Craigh CCC craig#ccc.com
List 3
Name Company Email
John CCC john#ccc.com
As you can see in each list there is only 1 record for each company.
Any help on how to do this would be most appreciated.
I have tried advance filter to list unique records only by selecting the entire original list as the range and setting the company column as the criteria see the unique records which I could then select visible cells and cut to a different list, and then re-run the filter again to create the next set of unique records etc...but the advance filter doesn't give the results as expected.

This might be a silly idea but still worth trying... Add a helper column with Count formula:
=COUNTIF($B$1:B2,B2)
Apply Filter and Sort your data set by the fourth column (Sort Smallest to Largest):
This seems to match your Table 1, 2 & 3 output.
Alternatively, if you still want to create separate tables, you can use the helper column and array formulas (Ctrl+Shift+Enter) as per example below:
=IFERROR(INDEX($A$1:$C$7,SMALL(IF($D$1:$D$7=1,ROW($D$1:$D$7)),ROW()-1),COLUMN()-5),"")
Change $D$1:$D$7=1 to =2 and =3 to replicate the 2nd and the 3rd table.
Edit: with additional "Location" column
=COUNTIFS($B$1:B2,B2,$D$1:D2,D2)
I've been stuck for some time trying to match up two different data spread sheets. I'm trying to match off dollar amounts with matching names that correspond to the dollar amount. I went ahead and assigned unique identifiers to each row thinking that would help me match off the amounts, but my problem comes when there are two or more dollar amounts that are the same and have the same name.. is there anyway to get the second id to show up?
Formula sheet: (I need The second 112 to pull 113.. anyway thats possible??
A B C D E F G
IDSheett2 IDsheet1 NameSheet1 NameSheet2 Item AmountSheet1 AmountSheet2
554 112 Jim Jim Hat 25 25
555 112 Jim Jim Shoe 25 25
Formula in column B2: it should go through both sheet 1 and 2 and automacially fill in the matching id - id that matches the name and amount.
=IFERROR(INDEX(sheet1!$C$2:$C$1000,MATCH(1,INDEX((sheet1!$A$2:$A$1000=D1)*(sheet1!$B$2:$B$1000=G1),0,1),0)),"")
Data from Sheet2:
A= ID B= Name C= Item Name ( ID basically row 1 = 1, 2 = 2.. )
A B C D
554 Jim Hat 25
555 jim Shoe25
Data from Sheet1:
A= name B= amount C= assigned ID ( ID basically row 1 = 1, 2 = 2.. )
A B C
Jim 25 112
Jim 25 113
I'm also open to other ideas. Thanks for the help.
UPdated::: Based on comments
im not trying to create a database.. i have two sets of data that i'm trying to compare and match off like items(i take matched items and email it out to a group of people). i had to change some of the names because this is work related but the overall concept should remain.
it is Impossible for me to know how many names will be on incoming wires and how many names will be on my expected wires lists. I assigned unique ids per row on each page so i can do iferror/index/match to pull from a unique row to the main page.
What im trying to accomplish:
I have two sets of data: Sheet1 is incoming wires (it gives me a name and an amount) Sheet 2 is the account name, Item its for, and expected amount.
I'm trying to match the name and amount on the formula sheet but i run into the problem of two items with the same name and the same amount only pulling the first ID number it runs into and this becomes a problem because i have another vba code that will delete multiple ID's so i know i'm not counting something twice.
my final page should read:
ID sheet2 IDsheet1 Name Item(sheet2) Amount
554 112 JIM Hat 25
555 113 JIM Shoe 25
but right now the 113 id wont pull and it will just be 112 twice (which will end up getting deleted so i will miss that second match)
..+ everything works perfectly unless there are two items for the same name and the same amount +.. that is the only time i run into this problem.
Is there any code or process that can have the sheet realize that it has already used the ID of 112 once and then automatically fill in the id of 113 (so it won't get deleted by my vba code)?
In your formula sheet, B2 and copied down:
=IFERROR(INDEX(Sheet1!$C$2:$C$1000,MATCH(1,INDEX((Sheet1!$A$2:$A$1000=D2)*(Sheet1!$B$2:$B$1000=G2)*(COUNTIF(B$1:B1,Sheet1!$C$2:$C$1000)=0),),0)),"")
This is my problem. I have a spreadsheet containing alot of data. What I want to do is create a way that I can search for a recurring name, and return all the information (rows) associated to it. Here is a mini example below:
A B C D E F
ID Name Date Client ID Balance Owed
100 Tom 1/11/11 256 300 200
100 Tom 1/12/11 565 500 150
100 Tom
200 Jay
200 Jay
300 Frank
100 Tom
100 Tom
400 Ted
You get the idea (I hope). So what I want to do on another sheet is search for "Tom" and get it to return ALL instances of Tom in the Name column and return the data in the rows associated to Tom. So I would get back 5 results of Tom with all the necessary information. Thanks in advance!

Have you tried Pivot Table option found in the Excel, this might help you without any coding, if all you need is to find some duplicates
Could just apply a filter to the data and have the user select their name from column B. No need to copy data this way, so the update issue goes away. (probably best to delete the blank row below the heading row first)
