Hi All,

I have one query related to matching the numeric values. I have data set where in column N have numeric values which can be positive and negative. Need to identify same numeric values e.g. -23 should match with 23. My code which is working fine on small set of data like 1000 rows however most of the time we have data more than 50000 rows or 1,000,000 rows. In large data set my code is freezing the whole system may be beacuse i am using two loops in my cod. Does anyone have any quick solution or anykind of excel formula for sorting my issue on large data.

Here is small scenario: my values 34,45,23,-34,43,34,34,-34. As here, 34 is repeating 5 times so any 4 values should be clear and leave the one as it is.

Thanks
Rajneesh

Hi, Rajneesh
1. Can you show us your code?

Here is small scenario: my values 34,45,23,-34,43,34,34,-34. As here, 34 is repeating 5 times so any 4 values should be clear and leave the one as it is.

2. Which one do you keep? 34 or -34? Or should it be the first one?

Hi Akuini,

Sure , Here is my code and for second point, 34,45,23,-34,43,34,34,-34. It should be like this any positiv 34 can be cleared for any -34 highlightd in bold & italic.

Code: 
    Public wkb As Workbook
    Public sh As Worksheet

Sub Combined_UK_IRE_Amount()

    Dim lrow As Long
    Dim i As Long
    Dim rng As Range

'Set wkb = Workbooks.Open(Application.GetOpenFilename)
Set wkb = ThisWorkbook
Set sh = wkb.Sheets("Data")
lrow = sh.Cells(Rows.Count, 14).End(xlUp).Row

Set rng = sh.Range("N2:N" & lrow)
sh.Activate

With sh
.Range("BU2") = "=ABS(N2))"
.Range("BU2:BU" & lrow).FillDown
.Range("BU2:BU" & lrow).Copy
.Range("BU2:BU" & lrow).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues

sh.Range("BU2:BU" & lrow).AdvancedFilter xlFilterCopy, copytorange:=sh.Range("CA1"), unique:=True

a = 1
Do While .Range("CA" & a) <> ""
.Range("A1:BU1").AutoFilter field:=73, Criteria1:=.Range("CA" & a)
For Each cell In rng

For i = 1 To lrow

If cell.Offset(i, 58) <> "Cleared" Then
If cell.Offset(0, 58) = "Cleared" Then Exit For
If cell.Offset(0, 58) <> "Cleared" Then

aa = cell.Value
End If
If cell.Offset(i, 58) <> "Cleared" Then
bb = cell.Offset(i)
End If
If aa + bb = 0 Then

cell.Offset(0, 58) = "Cleared"
cell.Offset(i, 58) = "Cleared"
Exit For
End If
End If
Next i

Next cell
a = a + 1
Loop
.AutoFilterMode = False


.Columns("CA:CA").Delete
.Range("A1").Select

End With

MsgBox "Done", vbInformation
End Sub

Not quite understand the criteria.
So if the data: 34,34,34,34,34,-34,-34
There are five 34 & two -34, then you will keep 34,34,34, & the rest will be deleted,is it right?
