Help required from Excel Guru!!! :slight_smile:

I have a spreadsheet with 2 coulmns - Column A Contains Account Numbers, Coulmn B contains different Information pertaing to the accounts.

The account #'s in A can be duplicated many times and the information in B can duplicated many times.

What i need is - list of account ID’s that just one type of the information contained in B

Example:
10 Limerick
10 Cork
10 Clare
20 Clare
20 Clare
30 Limerick
30 Limerick
40 Dublin

I want to get account that just “likes” Limerick ie 30

You want to get values from A that are unique to a specific value in B?

That would be correct!! And a very good way of putting it!!

Don’t be bothering IT folk with this, it’s a question for Excel jockeys like @Bandage and @Julio_Geordio

ill need more info than that mate

So you just want all the limericks in column two? A filter would do that?

No, he wants the values in A that are only equal to one value in B

So he wants to take the duplicates out of A?

That will give all Limerick’s. I want accounts where they have Just limerick!!

Vlookup is probably what you need. If not pivot tables. I am unsure exactly what you are trying to do.

So accounts from A that only correspond to Limerick in B and nothing else?

Nope because that won’t tell me if the an account is solely limerick!!

Pivot table could do it!! Never thought of that!

Yep!!

Right remove duplicates from A and then filter B

Limerick is obviously code for being in arrears and fuck all hope of ever being sorted.

Can you not just sort them?

So I did this and guess What?

My Eir 4G modem arrived yesterday (ordered before testing signal with a cell phone). Despite having nil signal on the mobile I’m getting 10G downloads speeds off it.
