I used yours in the linked file.

Naughty you!! You changed the attachment after posting!!

The 908/U908 issue caused some problems, for a while...

=IF($G2="","",SUMPRODUCT((($A$2:$A$6=H$1)*(LEN("¦"&SUBSTITUTE($B$2:$C$6,",","¦"))-(LEN(SUBSTITUTE("¦"&SUBSTITUTE($B$2:$C$6,",","¦"),"¦"&$G2,"")))))/LEN("¦"&$G2)))

copied across and down.

Ooops. And I was naughty, too. here's the file...

Or, as per your parallel post, not sorted by coder:


=IF($G2="","",SUMPRODUCT(((LEN("¦"&SUBSTITUTE($B$2:$C$6,",","¦"))-(LEN(SUBSTITUTE("¦"&SUBSTITUTE($B$2:$C$6,",","¦"),"¦"&$G2,"")))))/LEN("¦"&$G2)))

and the file, for not sorted by coder.

Chandramoulian. Re-read the forum rules, especially Rule 5.

5. Do not open more than ONE thread per issue here. Expect duplicates to be closed.

You have made 3 threads on, essentially, the same problem. I have closed one of them and merged the other two (both of which have had replies).

Please DO NOT duplicate threads again. It makes everything VERY messy.

So do any/all of the offered appriaches work, or are modifications needed?

Hi Glenn, For the file not sorted by order and also for the file sorted by coder..Is it possible to automatically total list of distinct code column from the deleted code and the add code column ,instead of manually entering the code column ... Otherwise this works awesome!!


Thanks,
Arun

I added one helper column (column H) to split up the concatenated coder IDs:

=TRIM(MID(SUBSTITUTE(","&CONCAT($B$2:$B$6&","&$C$2:$C$6&","),",",REPT(" ",125)),125*ROWS($1:1),125))

and a formula in I2 to return the unique codes:
=IFERROR(INDEX(H:H,AGGREGATE(15,6,ROW($H$2:$H$21)/(($H$2:$H$21<>"")*(COUNTIF(I$1:I1,$H$2:$H$21)=0)),1)),"")

and a formula in J1 to return the unique coders:
=IFERROR(INDEX($A:$A,AGGREGATE(15,6,ROW($A$2:$A$10)/(($A$2:$A$10<>"")*(COUNTIF($I1:I1,$A$2:$A$10)=0)),1)),"")

You're welcome.

If you have duplicates in one or the other categories and only one of the duplicates is removed while that same value is still in the other category, then the code was not removed, only the duplicate was removed. I don't know how to tell if a duplicate is removed without doing some complex coding that I don't have an inclination to do.
