I have been trying to mark duplicates in the same excel column based on a criteria in a different column, and I would love to have some help. In reference to the example below, I would like to highlight all the rows that is a duplicate value of another row red, and put a Y in a third column ("Delete" in the example below). When the value in the Name column is a duplicate of another, disregarding case sensitivity, I would like to mark all but one value based on a hierarchy in the Status column, i.e Excellent, Good, and Bad.
Only one of each unique value can be left unmarked, and if two share the same status with no duplicate value of a higher status then either one can be marked (the one further down the list if thats easier to specify).
I have been looking around the site and have found lots of similar entries on deleting duplicates but nothing quite the same. I need to highlight and not delete the duplicate rows and I have not been able to find anything that will let me sort based on a heirarchy in a second column. I only need to execute the command once as oppose to on a recurrence so the time it takes is not a concern to me. Any help you guys can throw my way would be greatly appreciated.
See if the sheet and steps below solves your issue.
Status_order Formula: Range("E2") =VLOOKUP(D2,$I$2:$J$4,2,FALSE)
Sort A1:E15 by Name, Then by Status_Order Smallest to Largest
Delete Formula =IF(A2=A3,"Delete","")
Fill All Formulas Down
Add Conditional Formatting on all columns to be Red if Column C = "Delete"

I know this is pretty simple. IN Conditional Formatting just choose Duplicate. The issue is that if the data repeats in one column but is not in the other it still regards it as duplicate. This is exactly what I don't want.
For example Column A has Value#1,Value#2, Value#3 and Column B has Value#1,Value#2, Value#3, Value#4, Value#4.
In this Value#4 will be highlighted because it is still a duplicate even though it doesn't occur in column A.
Is it possible to ignore the duplicates in the same column and only find the values that exist another column.
I am using Excel version 2206
So I have to clean data where from a given range of rows maybe 2 or 3 are exact same, rest have at least one column different. I need a way to find it out as I don't want to do it manually. I've tried conditional formatting but that only works with columns.
In the image you can see rows 550:569 a few of them are exactly same. How do I highlight or find out that. I don't want to manually check each column
enter image description here
Insert a column (let's say column AG) where you put a formula like =TEXTJOIN(",",TRUE,A2:AF2)
Sort the range per the new column
Eliminate duplicate using Excel's Remove Duplicate tool.
Problem: I have multiple rows with unique organizations and if a unique row's column reaches the second name/last/email I want those values (in green) to be appended below the first (in blue) as seen in "what I want". Some rows may only have data up to email_1 and others may have both (up to email_2). I've tried looking for solutions but I can't find anything near what I need.
I can solve this with python but I'm trying to use excel formulas only. Need a little help! Thanks!
If your column maximum limit is upto email_2 means columns reach upto email_2 with unique row then i can help you in this regards using formula.use following steps.
paste first_2, lastname_2 etc column in above first_name, last_name etc.
2.in unique rows first column "Org". use if function to check first_2 is avaliable or not.
and if not there then leave it blank and move next row
=IF(IF(LEN(F5)>0,B5,B6)=B6,"",B5)
3.for getting data of first_2, last_2 use vlookup with match formula are as follow
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP($B9,$B$4:$H$8,MATCH(C$3,$B$4:$H$4,0),0),"") and after drag and drop all formula
Hello looking to solve a problem in excel. Here is an example of my data: Please see attached file.
I am looking to just grab One barcode to one value(Yes/No) for example if I wanted to see how many Yes answers there are its skewed because you can have multiple Yes/No values per barcode. which would count as 2 instead of just one value. I hope this makes sense. I tried a pivot table and everything because we need to set the barcode to a count distinct but I am lost on how to create a formula or something that would work. I cannot Remove multiple values because each line contains data I need since this is just an example.
I think you're looking for countifs. =Countifs(a:a,1,b:b,"yes")
This will only count instances where the bar code is 1 and column b is yes
You can use COUNTA with UNIQUE and FILTER formulas nested. =COUNTA(UNIQUE(FILTER(A:A,B:B="yes")))
The filter formula tells Unique to only look at rows where column B = Yes. Unique then creates an array of just unique entries. While CountA will count how many entries are in the array.
I added some extra entries to the example so it showcases it better. I colored the first instance of each unique entry blue to highlight the instances the unique formula is pulling.
I have 3 column heads and I wanted to collate it with 3 similar heads from another sheets. 10% at an average from each of the 6 columns is blank, I have to map the data based on these 3 columns to other data and I need them to be sanitized. So there are the blanks and then there are some cells which have text like 208110185726A570-14. Please help.
Haven't heard back from the comment above, but I'll have a go at this anyway (and will be using assumptions that may be incorrect):
Given that you have included the tag vlookup, I'm assuming that you want to build a table that uses the leftmost column as an index of unique values to conduct a VLOOKUP. If that's the case, I don't see any way around blank cells in the leftmost columns in the two sheets, other than saying that the ensuing VLOOKUP would skip over any row that had a blank leftmost cell.
If you can live with that, the way I would go about it is pretty simple:
Copy the columns from one group (omitting the header row) and paste them to the end of other group. Again, since you have mentioned VLOOKUP, I'm assuming that keeping the cells in the rows next to each other is the goal (i.e. you can't remove the blanks in the columns because otherwise that would mess up the horizontal integrity of the cell relationships).
Do your VLOOKUP. Again, I'm assuming unique values in the leftmost column. This assumption is important, because it will make a difference to the decisions you make about what type of VLOOKUP you use (range vs. exact match) and what value is returned. For example, if you use exact match and there are repeating values, it will return the 1st match it finds.
Again, the assumptions might be wrong, but the question is a little unclear.
