Finding duplicate entries in pages doc...

i've got a huge pages document with email addresses.
is there a simple way to scan the document for dupes?
anyone??
thx!

If the email addresses are all that is in the document, they are in a list, and you also have Numbers, the following will work:
Select all of the list. Copy
Launch Numbers and open a new, blank document.
Click on cell B2 of the table in Numbers. Paste.
Your addresses should fill column B, with rows added to the table as necessary.
Enter this formula into C2: =IF(COUNTIF($B$1:B2,B2)>1,"DUP","")
(The result in C2 should appear to be an empty cell.)
Click on the Column Reference tab for column C to select the whole column,  then
Command-click on cell C1 to remove it from the selection.
Go Insert (menu) > Fill > Fill Down.
Your table will now resemble this one, with duplicate entries marked in column C:
With column C still selected, Copy, then go Edit > Paste Values.
This replaces the formulas in column C with the values calculated by that formula.
Click the Reorganize button, then in the Sort section, choose Column C.
The table will be sorted, bringing all the DUP entries together at the top of the table.
Select all of the rows containing DUP (Click on the Row Reference tab of the first, then shift-click on the Row reference tab of the last) to select all of the rows containing duplicate addresses.
Go Table > Delete Rows.
Select the column containing the email addresses. Copy.
Return to the Pages document. Paste.
Done

  • Finding duplicate entries in address book

    I am using Address Book 5.0.3, where I have been using LinkedIn's CardMunch to import contact details via my iPhone. However, I now end up with three distinct issues regarding duplicate entries:
    1/ two people with the same name, e.g. John Smith, but I know they are two separate people and they work for different companies.
    2/ After an import, I may have some duplicate entries, say Alan Walker, who has moved from company A to company B and I want to replace his old contact details with the new information.
    3/ two duplicate entries the same name, say Brian Vickers, both of which refer to the same person who still works for the same company, but has new contact details or additional data, such as a mobile number that I did not have before.
    4/ two duplicate entries that are identical. E.g. I imported the same card twice for some reason.
    5/ multiple entries marked 'Cannot Read Name', where CardMunch had a problem, but I know they are different people and I have to edit these to manually enter the correct information.
    Unfortunately the Address Book find duplicates function, whilst it works, does nothing useful. The only option I am presented with is 'Merge', which in all of the scenarios above apart from item 4 I do not want to do a merge function - I want to either 'Mark as NOT Duplicates' (item 1/), 'Replace Selected Fields' e.g. show me the two cards side by side and allow me to select which fields from which card are to be kept, replaced or removed and then implement the merge (item 2), "Add New Information' but allow me to select the label for that information before merging so that if someone has a new iPhone, but is still keeping their old mobile, I can select the field label correctly and then merge (item 3) or 'Edit Card' which allows me to open any identified duplicate and add in missing information that would mean that it is no longer a duplicate item.
    Can anyone suggest a way of doing this, or can Apple's developers please add these features to the Address Book App as soon as possible?
    Thanks, Russ Taylor

    books06,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    It depends upon which version of Address Book you are using, and your definition of "view."
    1. Address Book 3.1.1 Help
    2. Address Book 4.0.3 Help: Combining duplicate cards and information
    To find and merge duplicate cards:
    1. Choose Card > "Look for Duplicate Entries."
    2. Address Book tells you if it finds duplicate cards, cards containing duplicated information, or both.
    3. Click Merge to merge duplicate cards and remove redundant information on cards.
    When Address Book merges duplicate cards, it creates a single card for the contact containing all of the unique information from each merged card. Address Book uses the picture from the merged card appearing first in the list.
    To merge selected cards only, Command-click to select the cards you want to combine and choose Card > Merge Selected Cards. Address Book creates a single card using the name and picture of the selected card appearing first in the list.;~)

  • Finding duplicate entries in an int[]

    Okay, So I need to solved the following problem.
    Given an int[] or Integer[] with 1,000,000 entries. There are 2 entries out of the 1,000,000 that are duplicate. I need to find and return the duplicate entry.
    Obviously iteration is out of the question given the size of the array, and converting to an arraylist would likewise not help alot.
    Please offer any suggestions

    well I tried this....
    public class Main
         public static void main(String[] args)
              int list2[] = new int[1000000];
              for (int i=0; i < 1000000; i++)
                   list2[i] = i;
              System.out.println(getDouble(list2));
         public static int getDouble(int[] intArray)
              ArrayList<Integer> list = new ArrayList<Integer>();
              for (int i=0; i < intArray.length; i++)
                   list.add(intArray);
              for (int i=0; i < list.size(); i++)
                   Integer a = list.get(i);
                   if (list.indexOf(a) != list.lastIndexOf(a))
                        return list.get(i);
              return 0;
    }and it takes forever.  So if you have a really fast way, a hint would be nice :-).                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

  • Help needed in finding duplicate entries in invoices

    Hi,
    let me explian u the senario.
    when we enter the invoice no. in vf03 and select any item and click on pricing button.
    there i find the Cnty fild having duplicate entries like xr1 2 times and xr2,xr3,xr4,xr5 and xr6 all 2 times
    so i need to write a query to find out which of all the invoices have these types of duplicate entries.
    regards,
    maqsood

    Hi!
    CnTy is header line of condition type column.
    There can be several reasons, why conditions types are twice in a document. E.g. conditions can be given on header and line level, so they are two times in a document.
    These tax conditions are just line level. But please check, if they have different colors. I currently don't remember if only the blue or only the black lines (with or without highlight) are relevant for the document.
    The inactive conditions are still shown, but not 'counted'. You can set conditions inactive by requirements, by formula, by exclusion groups... so there are many ways to set the system up.
    Only if your total is wrong you have to do something (e.g. give users a training how to create a sales order / invoice).
    Conditions for invoice can be found in KONV with KONV-KNUMV = VBRK-KNUMV.

  • Finding Duplicate Entries in a table

    I have a table with the following fields in Oracle 10g.
    TABLE_1
    account_no | tracking_id | trans_amount
    Each account_no can have multiple tracking Id's.
    How do i query out the duplicate entries of account_no where tracking lies between 1 and 1000 ?
    Many thanks in advance for your help,
    novice.

    Hi,
    Whenever you have a question, it helps to post a little sample data, and the results you want from that data.
    You may think you're explaining clearly, but it won't be nearly as clear to someone who isn't familiar with your tables, your data, and your requirements. Sanjay and I apparantly have different ideas about what you requested, and perhaps neither is what you really want. It would be much harder for us to make mistakes and give you bad advice if you posted the data and results.
    Here's my guess:
    WITH     got_cnt     AS
         SELECT     table_1.*
         ,     COUNT (*) OVER (PARTITION BY account_no)
         FROM     table_1
         WHERE     tracking_id     BETWEEN     1
                        AND     1000
    SELECT     account_no, tracking_id, trans_amount
    FROM     got_cnt
    WHERE     cnt     > 1
    ;If there are two rows with the same account_no, and both rows have tracking_id in the given range, then both rows will be displayed.

    INSERT INTO table_a
    select col1, col2... coln
      from table_b b
    where not exists ( select 'x' from tabel_a a where a.matching_col = b.matching_col ) -- Your Matching Cols may increase, so adapt accordingly.Edited by: Purvesh K on Nov 23, 2012 4:20 PM

    Pages app unexpectedly quit whilst I was in the middle of a document. I can now not open it AT ALL. I find it's not just that particular document that won't open, but any of my Pages docs will not open using the current version of Pages. The reports of the app unexpectedly closing each time, automatically went to Apple, but I am not sure what happens with them then. Does anyone know how to help me with this? We live in a very isolated region so rely on internet help. Thanks

    I also managed to read a few other discussions about Pages and files not being able to open. I actually went to the last back-up and restored the computer from that and everything seemed to work ok again, which is great!...advice from another discussion I think you may have been involved in PeterB. Thanks for the advice...also this advice, as I will make a note of trying to open using the Shift key if it happens again and see what happens...might be an easier first option than restoring from a back-up. Thans heaps for the help!
    I was interested to read some of the other discussions where it was stated that Pages '09 seems to be a better option to use. I have both installed, so I will lkeep this in mind. Thanks heaps!

  • How do I find duplicate words in a Numbers spreadsheet?

    Hello, I've created my first document on Numbers and am trying to figure out how to find duplicate words. Ideally, a list of words that repeat in the document and how many times. Is this possible? Thank you in advance for the advice

    It's easy enough to find and count duplicate entries, especially if they are all in a single column, but if you want to count individual words within multi word entries, the problem is more complicated.
    Here's an example for the 'simple' case, using a familiar 155 word passage from English literature.
    The words in the passage are separated into a single line for each word, and stripped of all punctuation. This may be done in Pages, or in Text edit, or in pretty much any word processing software or text editor. Paste the passage into a WP or text document, then use the application's Find/Replace feature to replace all of the spaces with returns. I would also do a second pass replacing all double returns with single returns, then repeat that until Find/Replace reported replacing zero occurrences.
    Punctuation was stripped using Find/Replace
    The prepared list was pasted into column A of a Numbers table.
    Formulas:
    B2: =COUNTIF($A$1:A2,A2)
    C2: =IF(AND(B>1,B=COUNTIF($A,A2)),ROW()-1,999999)
    Fill both down their respective columns to the end of the table.
    The small table is inserted as a Basic table using the Tables button. It contains a Header row, but no Header columns.
    Formula:
    A2: =IFERROR(OFFSET(Table 1 :: $A$1,SMALL(Table 1 :: $C,ROW()-1),COLUMN()-1),"")
    Fill right into B2, then fill both down to the end of the table.
    Descriptions of the functions used, along with their syntax and at least one example of their use in a table are available in the Numbers '09 User Guide, which may be downloaded via the Help menu in Numbers.

  • Binary Search Tree Question - Duplicate Entries

    I am doing a project for school where I have to parse a web page into a binary search tree. The problem I'm encountering is that the tree is not supposed to have duplicate entries. Instead, each node has a count variable which is supposed to be incremented if a duplicate node attempts to be inserted. I have everything else working but I can't seem to get the count to increment.
    Here is the insert method in my BinarySearchTree class:
        public void insert( String s )
            BTNode newNode = new BTNode();
            newNode.sData = s;
            newNode.count = 1;
            if( root == null )
                root = newNode;
            else
                BTNode current = root;
                BTNode parent;
                while( true )
                    parent = current;
                    if( s.compareTo( current.sData ) < 0 )
                        current = current.leftChild;
                        if( current == null )
                            parent.leftChild = newNode;
                            return;
                    else if( s.compareTo( current.sData ) >= 0 )
                        current = current.rightChild;
                        if( current == null )
                            parent.rightChild = newNode;
                            return;
        }Thanks for the help!

Instead, each node has a count variable which is supposed to be incremented if a duplicate node attempts to be inserted. There are two ways I can think to do this simply. Presumably you have a search method that returns a BTNode for a given String? You could use that to find out if the tree already contains that String. If so, you have that Node, so you can just increment it's counter. If not, then go through and insert it normally, knowing that you won't encounter a duplicate.
    The second is to look at the children for each node as you come to it. If either matches the given string, then you've found a duplicate. Otherwise, either insert the new element there (if that's the location it belongs), or continue down the tree.
    Either way, I'd rewrite this as a recursive method. It's much simpler. What you do is check if the new element should be a child of the current node. If so, attach it and return. Otherwise, call the method on the correct child node. No looping necessary.

  • Error: Enum: Enumeration has duplicate entries

    I keep getting an error that says:
    'Enum: Enumeration has duplicate entries' which results in a blue controller on my front panel that says 'general' on it. I can't delete or right click on it since it disappears if I do, so I can't find on my diagram; and I don't actually have any enumerated data types in my code. Any one have any idea...please let me know...thanks!

    I agree with Dennis that we may need your code to help solve the issue, but I wanted to mention that you could get this error if you are using a tab control and the pages have the same name.

  • Finding Duplicate / Overlapping DateTimes

    Post Author: Dana
    CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
    I am pulling a report to try and find duplicate billing entries, or entries that overlap (double-billing).
    I have one DateTime field with the start DateTime, and another field with the end DateTime.
    I have created a comparon formula that will check and see if the current row's End field is between the previous field's start-end times, as well as the next field's start-end times.
    This is great for a small set of information, but I am being asked to run this for all staff, which will be hundreds of pages of records. I would love for the report to only pull the rows that have something displayed in that comparison formula field.
    Unfortunately, since the comparison field is evaluating while reading/printing records, I can't supress rows without it breaking the formula.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on a better way to make this happen?
    Here are the data elements available to me:
    Start DateTimeEnd DateTimeDuration (diff between start and end time, in minutes)

    do you have any grouping ? if not, you may want to consider grouping off your formula, then in your select statement, you can have {@duration} > 0 .  This should help limit the number of pages.
    I can't seem to get it to group by the comparison field, probably because it needs to evaluate the field as it is reading records... ? My data is sorted by the starting date/time.
    Here is my comparison field formula:
    if {@End Time} in Previous ({@Start Time}) to Previous ({@End Time}) then "End Conflicts with Prev"else if {@Start Time} in Previous ({@Start Time}) to Previous ({@End Time}) then "Start Conflicts Prev"else if {@End Time} in Next ({@Start Time}) to Next ({@End Time}) then "End Conflicts with Next"else if {@Start Time} in Next ({@Start Time}) to Next ({@End Time}) then "Start Conflicts with Next"else ""

  • Device list has duplicate entries which I am unable to delete

    smart WiFi application device list has foreign an mullti[ple duplicate entries.  When I try todelete them I get "Unexpected Error" [object XMLDocument].

    “smart WiFi application” Are you referring to the user interface of the router which is the Linksys Smart Wifi? If it’s the Linksys Smart Wifi user interface of the router, how did you access it, via IP or router name? How did you log-in, via local or Linksys Smart Wifi account? What is the model # of your router and its current firmware? In the device list, how many icons do you have? How many actual devices you have in the network? Say for example you have a laptop and desktop, you can expect three icons on the device list. Each device on the network holds its own icon and name. If the name and icon doesn’t much to the device, you can change the name and icon to much the actual device. Sometimes the device list shows “network device”. For you to find out what device is that, check the IP and MAC address. Compare it to the actual device IP and MAC which can be found on the network properties of the device. If you have identify the devices and you still want to delete the un-identified device icon on the list. What you can try is to turn off the other devices in the network and take a look at closely the icons on the device list if one of them turns OFFLINE then you can remove that icon. You can now log-out from Linksys Smart Wifi portal which can be found on the upper right of the page. Clear you browser history and close it.  Power cycle the router by unplugging the power supply for 5 seconds and plug it back in. Turn ON your network device and try access the router Linksys Smart Wifi page and check the device list if you still have that “foreign and multiple duplicate entries”.

Maybe you are looking for
