    Large Data base, need to sift through and find duplicates to find x.

    Hey guys,


    Ill just get right to the point. I have a database of about 400,000 lines. My goal is to fill in all the commodity codes. The rows in the above picture with N/A can be filled in with the same commodity code since they both share the same description.

    My question is, how can I sort or build a table that will only show me the following:
    -contains the same item description
    -has 1 commodity code filled out
    -has 1 N/A
    I want to be able to see only rows with those conditions so that I am not sifting through the others.

    I really don’t want to have to sift through the entire database and I am just not seeing the answer.

    thanks,

    Tyler G

    Hi there. Firstly, I can't see your picture. Secondly, even if I could, attaching a picture means that I would have to retype your data before beginning. Many people here won't do that for you. So....

    Please attach a sample workbook. Make sure there is enough data to demonstrate your need. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary. Remember to remove ALL confidential information first!!!
