这是我已经工作了一年多的大规模数据清理任务的第三个也是最后一个问题。感谢Stack Overflow社区帮助解决问题:
问题1- Index multiple columns and Match distinct values...。
问题2- Count unique values that match ID, optimized for 100,000+ cases。
我不能100%确定excel是否可以实现以下目标,但我会尽力描述我面临的数据清理和组织挑战。
我有一系列数据标记/属性,这些标记/属性在24列中以随机顺序排列,跨越500,000多行。下面的图1是原始形式的数据的示例,跨越12列呈现并跨越22行以简化说明。列A到L包含原始数据,列M到X表示所需的输出。
任务摘要:需要完成的是一系列匹配函数,它们搜索所有索引列(在本例中为A列到L列)以标识唯一值(例如1),搜索范围内的值(在本例中为A2:L21范围),识别唯一值的相邻值(对于值1,相邻值为2和13-XR),然后以最常发生的降序输出它们在包含任何有问题的值的每一行中最不经常出现的值(在这种情况下,1发生5次,放在M2到M6; 2发生3次,放在N2到N6; 13-XR发生2次,置于O2至O6)。
为了澄清,下面是一个逐步描述,使用颜色来说明原始数据(列A到L)中的模式匹配以及这些模式应该如何在输出中呈现(列M到X)。我已将以下每个图像分成原始数据中的六种模式。
上面的图像是VBA解决方案将识别的第一个模式。它会识别" 1"作为一个唯一值,并通过A:L范围搜索" 1" (以蓝色突出显示),然后识别在同一行中可以找到的所有值:" 2"在第3,第5和第6行(以绿色突出显示);和" 13-XR"在第4行和第5行(以粉色突出显示)。然后需要对" 2"进行识别相邻值(" 1"" 13-XR"),然后对" 13-XR",识别(" 1"和" 2"作为相邻值)。输出将返回M列中最常出现的唯一值(" 1"出现5次),然后第二次出现在列N中(" 2"出现3次) ,第三个出现在O列(" 13-XR"出现2次)。
以上情况稍微复杂一些。 VBA将识别" 3"作为唯一值,搜索A:L范围以用于" 3"并识别与其相邻的所有值(在这种情况下," 4"," 7"和" 9")。然后它会对" 4"执行相同的操作,识别所有相邻的值(仅#34; 3");然后为" 7",识别相邻的值(" 9"," 3"和" 12");那么" 9"识别(" 7"和" 3");最后,对于" 12"识别相邻值(仅#34; 7")。然后对于存在任何这些值的每一行,输出将返回" 3"在M列(发生三次)和一次" 7"在N栏(也出现三次);如果计数相等,它们可以以递增的方式呈现给A或Z或从最小到最大...或者只是随机的,对于我的目的,相等计数的排序是任意的。 " 9"将在O列中返回,因为它出现两次,然后" 4"在P栏和" 12"在Q列中,因为它们都出现一次,但是12次大于4.
上面的图像表示可能是常见事件,其中只有一个唯一值。在这里," 5"未在范围内的任何其他列中标识。因此返回为" 5"在M列中,每一行都有一个" 5"在场。
这将是另一种更常见的事件,其中一行中可能存在一个值而另一行中存在两个值。在这种情况下" 6"仅在该范围内识别一次并且" 8"是找到的唯一相邻值。什么时候" 8"搜索它只返回一个相邻值的实例" 6"。在这里," 8"发生两次" 6"只有一次,从而导致" 8"在M栏和" 6"无论在哪里" 8"或者" 6"在行中出现。
此处" 10"," 111"," 112"," 543"," 433",& #34; 444"和" 42-FG"被识别为在A:L范围内彼此相关的唯一值。除" 10"之外的所有值发生两次,在M到S列中按降序返回。
这个最终模式以与上面相同的方式识别,只有更多的唯一值(n = 10)。
最后注意事项:我不知道如何在Excel中完成此任务,但我希望其他人知道如何推动这一问题。以下是有关可能有助于解决问题的数据的其他说明:
如果此说明中的任何内容需要进一步说明,或者我可以提供其他信息,请告知我们,我会根据需要进行调整。
提前感谢能够帮助我解决最终挑战的任何人。

完整数据集发生内存错误。 @ambie发现错误的来源是1000s内相邻的链(结果)编号(试图在1000列中返回结果)。似乎问题不在于解决方案或数据,只是在excel中达到了限制。一个可能的解决方案是(见下图)添加两个新列(ATT_COUNT作为列M; ATT_ALL作为列Z)。 M列中的ATT_COUNT将返回通常在列之间返回的唯一值的总数。在N到Y列(ATT_1_CL到ATT_12_CL)中仅返回最常出现的前12个值。要绕过ATT_COUNT>的实例。 12(以及1000以上),我们可以在ATT_ALL(列Z)中以空格分隔格式返回所有唯一值。例如,在下图中,行17,18,19和21在链中具有17个唯一值。只有前12个最常出现的值显示在N到Y列中。所有17个值在Z列中以空格分隔格式显示。

我们通常不提供'代码供您服务',但我知道在之前的问题中您提供了一些您尝试过的示例代码,我可以看到您不知道从哪里开始。
对于未来的编码工作,诀窍是将问题分解为单个任务。对于您的问题,这些将是:
Collection
对象非常适合您,因为它们处理重复的问题,允许您填充未知大小的列表,并使用Key
属性轻松进行值映射。为了使编码易于阅读,我创建了一个包含一些字段的类。首先,插入一个类模块并将其命名为 cItem 。这个类背后的代码是:
Option Explicit
Public Element As String
Public Frq As Long
Public AdjIndex As Long
Public Adjs As Collection
Private Sub Class_Initialize()
Set Adjs = New Collection
End Sub
在您的模块中,任务可以编码如下:
Dim data As Variant, adj As Variant
Dim uniques As Collection, chains As Collection, chain As Collection
Dim oItem As cItem, oAdj As cItem
Dim r As Long, c As Long, n As Long, i As Long, maxChain As Long
Dim output() As Variant
'Read the data.
'Note: Define range as you need.
With Sheet1
data = .Range(.Cells(2, "A"), _
.Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp)) _
.Resize(, 12) _
.Value2
End With
'Find the unique values
Set uniques = New Collection
For r = 1 To UBound(data, 1)
For c = 1 To UBound(data, 2)
If IsEmpty(data(r, c)) Then Exit For
Set oItem = Nothing: On Error Resume Next
Set oItem = uniques(CStr(data(r, c))): On Error GoTo 0
If oItem Is Nothing Then
Set oItem = New cItem
oItem.Element = CStr(data(r, c))
uniques.Add oItem, oItem.Element
End If
oItem.Frq = oItem.Frq + 1
'Find the left adjacent value
If c > 1 Then
On Error Resume Next
oItem.Adjs.Add uniques(CStr(data(r, c - 1))), CStr(data(r, c - 1))
On Error GoTo 0
End If
'Find the right adjacent value
If c < UBound(data, 2) Then
If Not IsEmpty(data(r, c + 1)) Then
On Error Resume Next
oItem.Adjs.Add uniques(CStr(data(r, c + 1))), CStr(data(r, c + 1))
On Error GoTo 0
End If
End If
Next
Next
'Define the adjacent indexes.
For Each oItem In uniques
'If the item has a chain index, pass it to the adjacents.
If oItem.AdjIndex <> 0 Then
For Each oAdj In oItem.Adjs
oAdj.AdjIndex = oItem.AdjIndex
Next
Else
'If an adjacent has a chain index, pass it to the item.
i = 0
For Each oAdj In oItem.Adjs
If oAdj.AdjIndex <> 0 Then
i = oAdj.AdjIndex
Exit For
End If
Next
If i <> 0 Then
oItem.AdjIndex = i
For Each oAdj In oItem.Adjs
oAdj.AdjIndex = i
Next
End If
'If we're still missing a chain index, create a new one.
If oItem.AdjIndex = 0 Then
n = n + 1
oItem.AdjIndex = n
For Each oAdj In oItem.Adjs
oAdj.AdjIndex = n
Next
End If
End If
Next
'Populate the chain lists.
Set chains = New Collection
For Each oItem In uniques
Set chain = Nothing: On Error Resume Next
Set chain = chains(CStr(oItem.AdjIndex)): On Error GoTo 0
If chain Is Nothing Then
'It's a new chain so create a new collection.
Set chain = New Collection
chain.Add oItem.Element, CStr(oItem.Element)
chains.Add chain, CStr(oItem.AdjIndex)
Else
'It's an existing chain, so find the frequency position (highest first).
Set oAdj = uniques(chain(chain.Count))
If oItem.Frq <= oAdj.Frq Then
chain.Add oItem.Element, CStr(oItem.Element)
Else
For Each adj In chain
Set oAdj = uniques(adj)
If oItem.Frq > oAdj.Frq Then
chain.Add Item:=oItem.Element, Key:=CStr(oItem.Element), Before:=adj
Exit For
End If
Next
End If
End If
'Get the column count of output array
If chain.Count > maxChain Then maxChain = chain.Count
Next
'Populate each row with the relevant chain
ReDim output(1 To UBound(data, 1), 1 To maxChain)
For r = 1 To UBound(data, 1)
Set oItem = uniques(CStr(data(r, 1)))
Set chain = chains(CStr(oItem.AdjIndex))
c = 1
For Each adj In chain
output(r, c) = adj
c = c + 1
Next
Next
'Write the output to sheet.
'Note: adjust range to suit.
Sheet1.Range("M2").Resize(UBound(output, 1), UBound(output, 2)).Value = output
这不是最有效的方法,但它确实使每项任务对您更加明显。我不确定我是否理解了数据结构的完整复杂性,但上面的代码确实重现了您的示例,因此它应该为您提供一些工作。
<强>更新强>
好的,现在我已经看到了你的评论和实际数据,下面是一些修改后的代码应该更快,并处理显然“空”单元实际上是空字符串的事实。
首先创建一个名为 cItem 的类,然后添加代码:
Option Explicit
Public Name As String
Public Frq As Long
Public Adj As Collection
Private mChainIndex As Long
Public Property Get ChainIndex() As Long
ChainIndex = mChainIndex
End Property
Public Property Let ChainIndex(val As Long)
Dim oItem As cItem
If mChainIndex = 0 Then
mChainIndex = val
For Each oItem In Me.Adj
oItem.ChainIndex = val
Next
End If
End Property
Public Sub AddAdj(oAdj As cItem)
Dim t As cItem
On Error Resume Next
Set t = Me.Adj(oAdj.Name)
On Error GoTo 0
If t Is Nothing Then Me.Adj.Add oAdj, oAdj.Name
End Sub
Private Sub Class_Initialize()
Set Adj = New Collection
End Sub
现在创建另一个名为 cChain 的类,代码隐藏为:
Option Explicit
Public Index As Long
Public Members As Collection
Public Sub AddItem(oItem As cItem)
Dim oChainItem As cItem
With Me.Members
Select Case .Count
Case 0 'First item so just add it.
.Add oItem, oItem.Name
Case Is < 12 'Fewer than 12 items, so add to end or in order.
Set oChainItem = .item(.Count)
If oItem.Frq <= oChainItem.Frq Then 'It's last in order so just add it.
.Add oItem, oItem.Name
Else 'Find its place in order.
For Each oChainItem In Me.Members
If oItem.Frq > oChainItem.Frq Then
.Add oItem, oItem.Name, before:=oChainItem.Name
Exit For
End If
Next
End If
Case 12 'Full list, so find place and remove last item.
Set oChainItem = .item(12)
If oItem.Frq > oChainItem.Frq Then
For Each oChainItem In Me.Members
If oItem.Frq > oChainItem.Frq Then
.Add oItem, oItem.Name, before:=oChainItem.Name
.Remove 13
Exit For
End If
Next
End If
End Select
End With
End Sub
Private Sub Class_Initialize()
Set Members = New Collection
End Sub
最后,您的模块代码将是:
Option Explicit
Public Sub ProcessSheet()
Dim data As Variant
Dim items As Collection, chains As Collection
Dim oItem As cItem, oAdj As cItem
Dim oChain As cChain
Dim txt As String
Dim r As Long, c As Long, n As Long

.Value2
End With
'Collect unique and adjacent values.
pTask = "Finding uniques "
pCount = 0: pTot = UBound(data, 1): pTick = 0
Set items = New Collection
For r = 1 To UBound(data, 1)

Application.StatusBar = pTask & pTick & "%"
DoEvents
End If

txt = data(r, c)

End If

Next
Next

Application.StatusBar = pTask & pTick & "%"
DoEvents
End If
Set oItem = items(data(r, 1))
Set oChain = chains(CStr(oItem.ChainIndex))
c = 1

Next
Next
