This is a simple question that I cannot answer.
I have two columns like these in Excel:
Col1 Col2
A C
B I
C E
D D
E A
F F
G B
H
I
I want to sort the two columns so that the same values are aligned on the same rows in two columns, such as:
Col1 Col2
A A
B B
C C
D D
E E
F F
G
H
I I
K
So far, I have tried the following VBA
code:
Sub HighlightDups()
Dim i, LastRowA, LastRowB
LastRowA = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
LastRowB = Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Columns("A:A").Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
Columns("B:B").Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
For i = 1 To LastRowA
If Application.CountIf(Range("B:B"), Cells(i, "A")) > 0 Then
Cells(i, "A").Interior.ColorIndex = 36
End If
Next
For i = 1 To LastRowB
If Application.CountIf(Range("A:A"), Cells(i, "B")) > 0 Then
Cells(i, "B").Interior.ColorIndex = 36
End If
Next
End Sub
But this code just helps to find the duplicates and fails to put the duplicates on the same rows in the two columns.
I wonder if you guys can give a little help?
Thanks a lot.
without VBA
=IF(ISNA(MATCH(A1,C:C,0)),"",INDEX(C:C,MATCH(A1,C:C,0)))
and copy downIn VBA
Sub Macro1()
Dim rng1 As Range
Set rng1 = Range([a1], Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp))
rng1.Offset(0, 1).Columns.Insert
With rng1.Offset(0, 1)
.FormulaR1C1 = _
"=IF(ISNA(MATCH(RC[-1],C[1],0)),"""",INDEX(C[1],MATCH(RC[-1],C[1],0)))"
.Value = .Value
End With
End Sub
