Compare and consolidating duplicated rows
I have a worksheet that has over 4000 rows and 50 columns of information. An
individual may be listed multiple times. I am looking to compare the information and if duplicated consolidate the duplicated data to one row. Here is an example of the worksheet: colA colB colC colD colE colF colG JSMITH O M DIST V O 1 JSMITH 1 M O O DIST 1 End result I would like to see: colA colB colC colD colE colF colG JSMITH 1 M DIST V DIST 1 If, JSMITH, is listed twice, have formula look at JSMITH's information for each column and pull to one row, if "O" pull the other value if different. |

Try this against a copy of your worksheet (it destroys the original data).
Option Explicit Sub testme() Dim wks As Worksheet Dim iRow As Long Dim iCol As Long Dim FirstRow As Long Dim LastRow As Long Dim maxColsToCheck As Long maxColsToCheck = 50 Set wks = Worksheets("sheet1") With wks FirstRow = 2 'headers in row 1??? LastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row For iRow = LastRow To FirstRow + 1 Step -1 If .Cells(iRow, "A").Value .Cells(iRow - 1, "A").Value Then 'do nothing Else For iCol = 2 To maxColsToCheck If UCase(.Cells(iRow - 1, iCol).Value) = "O" Then .Cells(iRow - 1, iCol).Value = .Cells(iRow, iCol).Value End If Next iCol 'delete that duplicate .Rows(iRow).Delete End If Next iRow End With End Sub If you're new to macros, you may want to read David McRitchie's intro at: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/getstarted.htm Jen wrote: I have a worksheet that has over 4000 rows and 50 columns of information.

Thank you, this was very helpful. Save hours of work. Do I need to make sure
if cell value equals "O" (ALPHA). Would it matter if it was numeric? "Jen" wrote: I have a worksheet that has over 4000 rows and 50 columns of information. An individual may be listed multiple times.

Yes. It would matter.
If it's a one time thing, I'd just Edit|replace 0 with O (zero with oh). Make sure you check "match entire cell contents". If you have to do it lots of times... change this: If UCase(.Cells(iRow - 1, iCol).Value) = "O" Then .Cells(iRow - 1, iCol).Value = .Cells(iRow, iCol).Value End If to: If UCase(.Cells(iRow - 1, iCol).Value) = "O" _ Or (IsEmpty(.Cells(iRow - 1, iCol).Value) = False _ And .Cells(iRow - 1, iCol).Value = 0) Then .Cells(iRow - 1, iCol).Value = .Cells(iRow, iCol).Value End If === Blank cells have a value of 0, so the code has to check for that.

Thank you for your help.
I also have another worksheet that has a similar issue, it would need to look at the name to see if it is duplicated and then look at employee type, employee type may have two to three types: PC, A, O, PL. What I would need the macro to do is combined to one row, only if it has PL and PC as employee type, is there additonal VBA code that can be added to the beginning of the macro you had sent me ?

If one row has PL and one row has PC, then do the merge? In all other cases,
don't merge? And it doesn't matter which one (top or bottom of a pair of rows) has the PL while the "opposite" one has the PC????

Hi Dave, This in regards to the original inquiry, if there are three rows or
four of the same individual, is it possible to have the module combine to one row, there are a few cases this does happen.. Also what does the module do if rows are duplicated and the values equal the same value, may not be "O" In regards to your questions on my other inquiry: If one row has PL and one row has PC, then do the merge? Yes In all other cases, don't merge? - Correct And it doesn't matter which one (top or bottom of a pair of rows) has the PL while the "opposite" one has the PC???? And when the employeecolumn merges, does PL win or PC or what' on top??? Does not matter I'm guessing that one of the PL/PC wins...

Both of the routines handle each pair of rows separately.
So once you merge a couple rows into one, the next comparison will just do the newly merged row and the next row. If rows 3,4,5,6 all had the same key. old 6 and old 5 are merged into a new 5 new 5 and old 4 are merged into a new 4 new 4 and old 3 are merged into a new 3 But depending on which routine you use, the merges won't occur. (The PC/PL was more restricting on when merges would occur.) And the existing data in top row of the comparison will win--unless the "merge" can occur. ====== If there are more than 2 duplicate keys, you may want to make sure that your data is sorted the way you want (I have no idea what that is).

To understand your response below, Once I use the macro it merges the
duplicate rows, unfortunately if there is an employee with three rows of information merges one of the rows to the other and still leaves me with two. I tried rerunning the macro for it to look again for dupklicates and it does not consolidate the two. Also seems if I have the following: Employee AK CA CT CO JT M M 1 0 JT M O O M It does not combine the two to show: Employee AK CA CT CO JT M M 1 M Any ideas?

Can you show the three rows of raw data?
Remember that only those cells with "0" get overwritten, too. (And I didn't see if you were using the PL/PC version, too.)

In all other cases, don't merge? And it doesn't matter which one (top or bottom of a pair of rows) has the PL while the "opposite" one has the PC???? And when the employeecolumn merges, does PL win or PC or what' on top??? I'm guessing that one of the PL/PC wins... If yes to all that... Option Explicit Sub testme() Dim wks As Worksheet Dim iRow As Long Dim iCol As Long Dim FirstRow As Long Dim LastRow As Long Dim maxColsToCheck As Long Dim EmplTypeCol As Long maxColsToCheck = 50 Set wks = Worksheets("sheet1") With wks 'where's the employee type column? EmplTypeCol = .Range("b1").Column FirstRow = 2 'headers in row 1??? LastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row For iRow = LastRow To FirstRow + 1 Step -1 If .Cells(iRow, "A").Value .Cells(iRow - 1, "A").Value Then 'do nothing Else If (UCase(.Cells(iRow, EmplTypeCol).Value) = "PC" _ And UCase(.Cells(iRow - 1, EmplTypeCol).Value) = "PL") _ Or (UCase(.Cells(iRow, EmplTypeCol).Value) = "PL" _ And UCase(.Cells(iRow - 1, EmplTypeCol).Value) = "PC") _ Then For iCol = 2 To maxColsToCheck If iCol = EmplTypeCol Then .Cells(iRow - 1, EmplTypeCol).Value _ = "PC" '"PL" ????? Else If UCase(.Cells(iRow - 1, iCol).Value) = "O" Then .Cells(iRow - 1, iCol).Value _ = .Cells(iRow, iCol).Value End If End If Next iCol 'delete that duplicate .Rows(iRow).Delete End If End If Next iRow End With End Sub Look for some of those ??? where you might, er, probably will have to make changes. Jen wrote: Thank you for your help. I also have another worksheet that has a similar issue, it would need to look at the name to see if it is duplicated and then look at employee type, employee type may have two to three types: PC, A, O, PL. What I would need the macro to do is combined to one row, only if it has PL and PC as employee type, is there additonal VBA code that can be added to the beginning of the macro you had sent me ? Thank you again for your asssitance, you have saved me alot of time. "Dave Peterson" wrote: Yes. It would matter. If it's a one time thing, I'd just Edit|replace 0 with O (zero with oh). Make sure you check "match entire cell contents". If you have to do it lots of times... change this: If UCase(.Cells(iRow - 1, iCol).Value) = "O" Then .Cells(iRow - 1, iCol).Value = .Cells(iRow, iCol).Value End If to: If UCase(.Cells(iRow - 1, iCol).Value) = "O" _ Or (IsEmpty(.Cells(iRow - 1, iCol).Value) = False _ And .Cells(iRow - 1, iCol).Value = 0) Then .Cells(iRow - 1, iCol).Value = .Cells(iRow, iCol).Value End If === Blank cells have a value of 0, so the code has to check for that. Jen wrote: Thank you, this was very helpful. Save hours of work. Do I need to make sure if cell value equals "O" (ALPHA). Would it matter if it was numeric? "Jen" wrote: I have a worksheet that has over 4000 rows and 50 columns of information. An individual may be listed multiple times. I am looking to compare the information and if duplicated consolidate the duplicated data to one row. Here is an example of the worksheet: colA colB colC colD colE colF colG JSMITH O M DIST V O 1 JSMITH 1 M O O DIST 1 End result I would like to see: colA colB colC colD colE colF colG JSMITH 1 M DIST V DIST 1 If, JSMITH, is listed twice, have formula look at JSMITH's information for each column and pull to one row, if "O" pull the other value if different. -- Dave Peterson -- Dave Peterson -- Dave Peterson -- Dave Peterson |
