Summing duplicate entries and non duplicates
 

Hi All,

Can someone help me please. Rather than using Subtotals in excel to get the
sum of a number of common entries, can i use vba code to exacly this.

i.e

Column A has duplicate entries and also non duplicate entries and column B
has values, i want to sum up all the duplicate entries and non duplicate
entries to show just one entry in column A for each different entry and its
corresponding sum.

hope this makes sense.

thanks BigH

Summing duplicate entries and non duplicates
 

Hi Big,

I am just starting with programming Excel,
and there are many other solutions,
if the following can be called a solution at all.

Anyway, my test-worksheet looks like this:

a 1
c 2
b 8
c 3
a 4
d 7
e 6
f 1
g 6
a 1
g 4
h 4

And this is what I've figured out:

Sub Test1111()
Dim r1 As Long ' row
Dim r2 As Long ' row
Dim v As Long ' a value to be summed up
Dim x As Long ' last row
x = Cells(Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row, 1).Row
With ActiveWorksheet
For r1 = 1 To x
v = Cells(r1, 2).Value
l = 0
For r2 = 1 To x
If Cells(r1, 1).Value = Cells(r2, 1).Value Then
l = l + 1
If l 1 Then
v = v + Cells(r2, 2).Value
Rows(r2).Delete
x = x - 1
End If
End If
Next
Next
End With
End Sub

Each cell in column 1 is compared with each cell in column 1.
If there is more than one match (l), as a cell would be compared
with itself, the value from column 2 is added and the row deleted.

Decrementing a loop variable in a loop is dangereous,
but seems to be logical here. And there is no danger,
if you know what you are doing.

Oops,

the most important line was missing.

If l 1 Then
v = v + Cells(r2, 2).Value
Cells(r1, 2).Value = v ' !!!<<<<
Rows(r2).Delete
x = x - 1
End If

Just in case you want only the two sums:
-------------------------------
{=SUM(IF(COUNTIF($A$10:$A$20,$A$10:$A$20)=1,
$B$10:$B$20,0))}
FormulaArray for non duplicate entries

{=SUM(IF(COUNTIF($A$10:$A$20,$A$10:$A$20)1,
$B$10:$B$20,0))}
FormulaArray for duplicate entries
---------------------------------


This writes the two sums in C1, C2:
------------------------------------
Sub Button30_Click()
Dim S1 As Double, S2 As Double
Dim DataRange As String, ValueRange As String
DataRange = "$A$10:$A$20"
ValueRange = "$B$10:$B$20"
[iv65535].FormulaArray = "=SUM(IF(COUNTIF(" & DataRange & _
"," & DataRange & ")=1," & ValueRange & ",0))"
[iv65536].FormulaArray = "=SUM(IF(COUNTIF(" & DataRange & _
"," & DataRange & ")1," & ValueRange & ",0))"
S1 = [iv65535]
S2 = [iv65536]
[C1] = S1
[C2] = S2
[iv65535] = ""
[iv65536] = ""
End Sub

Summing duplicate entries and non duplicates
 

Hi Helmut,

thanks for the code, it works fine. However i have around 350 enties and
when i run the code there are still some double entries once the code has
ran, i reckon i am about 95% there?

Summing duplicate entries and non duplicates
 

This sounds like a nice situation to use data|pivottables (if I understand
correctly).

Add a single row of headers (I called mine Cate (for category) and Qty.

Then select your range (A1:B13 for the sample data)

Data|pivottable
since we selected the range first, we can just follow the wizard until we get a
dialog with a button named Layout.

Click that button.
Drag the Cate button to the Row field
drag the qty button to the data field
(if the qty doesn't show "Sum of", double click on it and select Sum.)
Then finish up the wizard.

When I was done, I had a table that looked like:

Sum of qty
Cate Total
a 6
b 8
c 5
d 7
e 6
f 1
g 10
h 4
Grand Total 47

Just a comment about this comment:

but seems to be logical here. And there is no danger,
if you know what you are doing.

Sometimes life becomes lots easier if you start at the bottom of the data and
work your way up. Then you don't have to worry about keeping track of what row
you're on (when a row is deleted).

And it's nice to always declare all your variables, too <vbg.

Summing duplicate entries and non duplicates
 

Hi everybody,

seems, I was so exited
that I forgot about option explicit.

Just another try, using a placeholder for double entries
and deleting them later.
The first attempt was no good at all, it seems,
and I'm still fooling around with Excel.
(I'll try for x to 1 step -1).

Option Explicit
Sub Test1111()
Dim r1 As Long ' row
Dim r2 As Long ' row
Dim v As Long
Dim s1 As String
Dim s2 As String
Dim x As Long ' last row
x = Cells(Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row, 1).Row
For r1 = 1 To x
For r2 = 1 To x
s1 = Cells(r1, 1).Value
s2 = Cells(r2, 1).Value
v = Cells(r1, 2).Value
If s1 < "---" Then
If r1 < r2 And s1 = s2 Then
v = v + Cells(r2, 2).Value
Cells(r1, 2).Value = v
Cells(r2, 1).Value = "---"
Cells(r2, 2).Value = 0
End If
End If
Next
Next
For r1 = 1 To x
While Cells(r1, 1).Value = "---"
Rows(r1).Delete
Wend
Next
End Sub

Summing duplicate entries and non duplicates
 

Hi,

this one looks best, so far.

And I wonder, why one has to be told,
what he told himself others a dozen times. ;-)

Sometimes life becomes lots easier if you start at the bottom
of the data and work your way up. Then you don't have to worry
about keeping track of what row you're on (when a row is deleted).

Sub Test1112()
Dim r1 As Long ' row 1
Dim r2 As Long ' row 2, which is identical once to row 1
Dim v As Long ' a value to be added
Dim s1 As String ' a name
Dim s2 As String ' a name, too, which is identical once to s1
Dim x As Long ' last row
x = Cells(Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row, 1).Row
For r1 = x To 1 Step -1
For r2 = x To 1 Step -1
s1 = Cells(r1, 1).Value
s2 = Cells(r2, 1).Value
v = Cells(r1, 2).Value
If r1 < r2 And s1 = s2 Then
v = v + Cells(r2, 2).Value
Cells(r1, 2).Value = v
Rows(r2).Delete
End If
Next
Next
End Sub

This line looks a little funny:

x = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row

And just as another alternative...
Excel has a couple of built in worksheet functions that would be nice. There's
=sumif() to add up numbers based on a criteria--and =countif() that counts items
based on a criteria.

You can use those and build a range to delete and still work from the top down.

Option Explicit
Sub testme02()
Dim iRow As Long
Dim FirstRow As Long
Dim LastRow As Long
Dim delRng As Range
Dim myRng As Range

With ActiveSheet
FirstRow = 1
LastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row

Set myRng = .Range(.Cells(FirstRow, "A"), _
.Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp))

'do the first row
.Cells(FirstRow, "B").Value _
= Application.SumIf(myRng, .Cells(FirstRow, "A").Value, _
myRng.Offset(0, 1))

For iRow = 2 To LastRow
If Application.CountIf(.Range(.Cells(FirstRow, "A"), _
.Cells(iRow - 1, "A")), .Cells(iRow, "A")) 0 Then
'it's a duplicate of a previous row, so get ready to delete it
If delRng Is Nothing Then
Set delRng = .Cells(iRow, "A")
Else
Set delRng = Union(.Cells(iRow, "A"), delRng)
End If
Else
.Cells(iRow, "B").Value _
= Application.SumIf(myRng, .Cells(iRow, "A").Value, _
myRng.Offset(0, 1))
End If

Next iRow
End With

If delRng Is Nothing Then
'do nothing
Else
delRng.EntireRow.Delete
End If

End Sub

Just another way to approach the problem. (Although I like the pivottable
best.)

Another non-macro way would be to use those equivalent formulas in a couple of
helper cells. Then apply Data|filter|autofilter to delete the rows that are the
duplicates (after converting to values).

Summing duplicate entries and non duplicates
 

Hi Helmut,

it works perfectly, however if i name cell a1 Material and cell b1 value,
the code runs fine and then at the end comes up with type mismatch 13, i
think its because cell b1 is not a number.

Very probably so.
I thought, there are always numbers in column b.
Beware of empty cells. If the value is undefined,
you may substitute it by zero.

Though in a strict sense, calculations with undefined values
might be very problematic.

You'll soon learn that the real fun stuff is in excel. You'll put MSWord on the
back burner and only use it when you really have to!
