Grouping According to Sets of Rows
I am in the process of comparing two Excel reports on users where the
data is (or should be) identical, but in one some of the user information has been grouped into a single identifier. Unfortunately, I basically need to take the other report, which has anywhere from 8 to 25 rows for a given user and compare it to this one with a consolidated listing. For instance, it would be something like this: Consolidated Report: User1 identifier1 User2 identifier2 User3 identifier1 Base Report: User1 infoA User1 infoB User1 infoC User1 infoD User2 infoC User2 infoD User3 infoA User3 infoB User3 infoC User3 infoD What I basically need to do is consolidate the rows for any user that has the same grouping of information in a single column. So User1 and User2 would be reduced to a single row (or flagged with a certain color, tagged in another cell, etc... anything to automate this a bit) and I would then replace the "info" column with identifer1. I have been playing with this off and on for about a day, but I haven't been able to find an efficient means of consolidating this data so that it is in a form where I can easily compare the two reports. I would really like to avoid doing the 4500 or so rows that are in the base report by hand, given that there are nearly 400 users. If there are any solutions to this problem that would enable what I'm looking for, I would really appreciate it. |
