I made an example spreadsheet to pull out the information.  I can not send it to you in yahoo answers because it does not allow attachments.  Please send me your email address and I can send you the spreadsheet with the information.

I'd use the vlookup function.\nInsert another column between the 2 you have, then (thinking that you'll have column headers) in b2 =vlookup(a2,C:C,1,false) this will bring back the value if you have it in the second set (which should now be in col C). Paste it to the bottom of your data set.\nCopy the formula into col D, & paste down.\nI'd then sort by col B then by D. What's matched is good, what isn't is unique to the column.\nHope this helps

You don't even have to move to each cell.  Try this.\nIts unclear what you mean by grab the data but I'll put the values into an array.\n\nsub FindOpenCell()\ndim VarArray(10000)\nrowcounter = 1\ndo until cells(rowcounter,1) = "" \nVarArray(rowcounter) = cells(rowcounter,1)\nrowcounter = rowcounter + 1\nloop\ncells(rowcounter, 1).activate\n\nEnd Sub

You could use conditional formatting on the cells where you are entering your data.  But you actually don't need to do conditional formatting, it's just that you can get smoother more interesting effects if you do.  An easier way might be a simple formula.\n\nIt sounds like you are entering data that uses Case numbers, but if you have already entered a case, you don't want to do it again.  Obviously you could just search the case number column to see if it already exists and if so, then skip entering it.  But a more automated way would be easier.\n\nThe essence of what you need to do is use a formula to tell you if what you just entered already exists in the rows above. (To use your example, does case 24 exist already in the rows above A27?)\n\nYou could insert a (temporary) column to the left of what you are typing in.  In that column you would enter a formula to count the number of instances where the case number you just entered already exists above.  Usually the result would be 1, sometimes 2.\n\nLets say you are on row 27 and your case numbers are in column B, and your counting column is column A.  Lets assume your data starts on row 2 at the top of the spreadsheet.  Your formula for cell A27 would be:\n=IF(COUNTIF($B$2:B27,B27)>1, "Exists Already!", "")\n\nNotice the $ signs in the Countif formula.  The formula range will adjust as appropriately as you copy it around.  You want to get this formula on every line next to every case number so that it can alert you if it seen there is more than once instance.\n\n(Actually the Data Validation mentioned below is a better solution because it will prohibit you from entering the data.  But it's all the same principle. Just more elegant because you don't need to insert a new column.)

sort the data by cell phone number\n\ninset a column to the right of the number column.\n\nin the first cell, enter this formula:\n=if(a1=a2,1,0)\nwhere "a" refers to the column with the numbers.\n\nhighlight the cell with the formula.  copy it.\npaste is all the way down to the end of the column.\n\nhighlight the column with the formulas.  copy it.  go to the edit menu, choose paste special and choose values.\n\nsort data by the column with the 1s and 0s in it.  anything with a 1 is a duplicate.

I thought the istext formula would work but they don't.\nHere's another way to solve this issue. Assume the cell to test is in A1, enter the following formula in another cell:\n\n=IF(ISERROR(LEFT(A1,1)/1) ,"yes","no")

Here's a macro for what you want (you can replace the periods with spaces, I only put them there for appearance)\n\nSub Swap2Cells() \nIf Selection.Count <> 2 Then \n.....MsgBox "Select 2 cells only." \n.....Exit Sub \nEnd If \nSet trange = Selection \nIf trange.Areas.Count = 2 Then \n.....temp = trange.Areas(2) \n.....trange.Areas(2) = trange.Areas(1) \n.....trange.Areas(1) = temp \nElse \n.....temp = trange(1) \n.....trange(1) = trange(2) \n.....trange(2) = temp \nEnd If \nEnd Sub

Use Microsoft Excel or a slide-rule

It's easy but I need more details. Which programming language is it or which program was the invoice program made in? Perhaps you should also supply source code or program file. My email is tim0huxley@yahoo.com.sg

If you have Microsoft Office, there are templates for invoices in Excel.  Other similar office programs also have these templates.

Use data validation.  \nSelect the column, choose Data / Validation...., \nchoose "Allow" = "Text length",\n "Data" = "Less than or Equal To", and "Maximum" = 30\nIf you want fo find out how many characters you have in cell:\n=Len(Cell)    i.e., =Len(B1)

It depends on how you have your other amounts organised.\n\nIf you have a column or row that is for periodic end amounts, eg, weekly totals.  You can set up a range for these.  For an example, assume the column A holds the weekly totals.   They start from A1 and finish A52.\n\nCreate a new cell and type this formula, without the quotes:\n'=sum(A1 : A52)'\nThats it.

After draggin the file into Excel, your database will take only one column.\nSelect that column and go to Data > Text to columns to start the wizard you need to convert it.\n\nXLMan

Try digdb excel add-in\n\nthis is the linke you need

Just go to the Cell that you want the total in.\n\nType +sum(d2..d6) where d2 = your first cell to be added and d6 = your last cell to be added.\n\nYou could also use the AUTOSUM button on the top toolbar.\n\nHighlight the cells you want added and hit the button.\n\nHover your cursor over the buttons till you find it.
