I spoke recently with someone named expert 12 who was going to bring in a VBA expert to help. Here is a sample of the spreadsheet. What I need this to do is tell excel that when a number is identical in the C column to go to the S column, find the number in S for that duplicate group of C and make all the numbers in S for the duplicate group of C the same as the number found in S. you can see that C3, C4, and C5 have the same number so S3, S4, and S5 are the same number. If you look at C46, C47, C48, C49, C50 and C51 then look at the S column for the same rows I would need it to put the number found in S48 and S49 into S46, S47, S50 and S51. I would then need to find the next duplicate group of C and do the same thing. Finally Column T needs to repeat the same process as S. A mess I know

I went into Excel this morning to enter some data I was working on the final column to see if it would match my bank and all the sudden things went haywire. Instead of dates It showed code numbers instead of my deductions and my projected balances it showed formula's. I am New to windows 10 and Excel and I don't know how to fix it save making a new spreadsheet and starting from scratch. Please help me so I don't have to spend HOURS re-entering data all over again.

I am designing a system that will essentially return values for scanned bar codes. In that, one would scan the bar code, and the serial number in the A column of Excel would be generated. Scanning another bar code would generate the serial number in the spot below the first number in the A column and so forth. To know what product name to return, the formula is meant to read the prefix (since the numbers following the prefixes will always change) and then return the product name if the serial number contains the prefix. *See attachment and the formulas within for further visual aid* The "#" is meant to symbolize a number, so that in the second part of the formula (currently where the "?" is) the system will read "B123" only as a "B", and not a "BB" or a "BG" etc. (because the only place where "B" is the first character and a number is the second character is in the instance of "B123" or "B2345" and so on). (After looking at the sheet, the following may help with understanding of the issue) I was hoping to have the "?" in the 2nd character slot of the second part of the formula look for only a number, which would theoretically only return CEREAL, since the only place where "B" is in slot 1 and a number is in spot 2, would be in serial numbers like "B123", because "BB" would fail the second part of the AND formula (where slot 2 needs to be a number); and an instance like "C123" would fail the first part, because while the second slot is a number, the first is not a "B". MY SOLUTION was based on the hope that there is a symbol that can designate "any letter" or "any number". The trouble I had with the wildcard is that the "?" responds to any character, be it number AND letter. If for example "@" hypothetically symbolized any letter, then I would just put a "NOT(" in front of the second part of the equation, so that it would read something like "If the first character is B, AND the second character is NOT a letter (symbolized via the @), then return CEREAL". Or if the "#" symbolized any number, then it could be "If the first character is B, AND the second character is ANY NUMBER (due to the #), then return CEREAL". How do you represent "any letter" in excel???

I have an excel sheet instead of students names, it has ID numbers. The corresponding name that goes with the ID number, has been exported from a database onto another excel sheet. I want to create a formula that I can use on the exported sheet that will allow me to use it to reference the first sheet that does not have the students name on it and create a column that contains the student's name next to their ID number. In addition to the name, I will be exporting the grade the child is in. which would be helpful info to have next to the name. I am doing state reporting and need to correct the errors before the school can be certified for the following year.. Can you help me?
