Code To Look For Part Then Find Earliest And Latest Years

[Dazzawm]

I have a file with a list of part numbers in column A on sheet 2. I need the code to look for these numbers on sheet 1 in column AC. When the number is found I need it to look at the earliest start year in column O where it appears and the latest end year in column Q then put in column B next to it on sheet 2.

Using just one part number as an example the very earliest year it appears on sheet 1 is 1974 and the very latest is 1990 so the result next to it would be 74-90 in column B then it would move onto the next number and so on...

Thanks

Sheet2 B2 formula (ARRAY formula, after typing in the formula instead of pressing "Enter", press Ctrl+Shift+Enter and formula will automatically be surrounded by {} - don't type {}!)
=RIGHT(MIN(IF(Sheet1!AC:AC=A2,Sheet1!O:O)),2)&"-"&RIGHT(MAX(IF(Sheet1!AC:AC=A2,Sheet1!Q:Q)),2)

Copy formula down in Sheet2 Col B

Thanks but I think this will need a macro. There are thousands of different numbers and could be on sheet 1 in AC several hundred times in the sheet.

Give this a try.

Sub StrtEnd()
Dim sh1 As Worksheet, sh2 As Worksheet, lr As Long, rng As Range, c As Range, fltRng As Range
Dim sd As Variant, ed As Variant
Set sh1 = Sheets(1) 'Edit sheet name
Set sh2 = Sheets(2) 'Edit sheet name
lr = sh2.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
Set rng = sh2.Range("A2:A" & lr)
    For Each c In rng
        If c <> "" Then
            With sh1
                Set fltRng = .Range("O2", .Cells(Rows.Count, "AC"))
                fltRng.AutoFilter 15, c.Value
                sd = WorksheetFunction.Min(Columns("O").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible))
                ed = WorksheetFunction.Max(Columns("Q").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible))
                sd = Right(sd, 2)
                ed = Right(ed, 2)
            End With
            c.Offset(0, 1) = sd & "-" & ed
            fltRng.AutoFilter
        End If
    Next
End Sub

So with this would each part, start year and end year be kept in a variable then it chooses the earliest and latest years for that part and gives me that as an answer?

Dazzawm, You'll notice that regardless of whether you use a macro or the formula I gave you, in both instances you're still using Min & Max formulas to find the Minimum & Maximum years for each part.

Sub StrtEnd()
Dim sh1 As Worksheet, sh2 As Worksheet, lr As Long, rng As Range, c As Range, fltRng As Range
Dim sd As Variant, ed As Variant
Set sh1 = Sheets(1) 'Edit sheet name
Set sh2 = Sheets(2) 'Edit sheet name
lr = sh2.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
Set rng = sh2.Range("A2:A" & lr)
    For Each c In rng
        If c <> "" Then
            With sh1
                Set fltRng = .Range("O2", .Cells(Rows.Count, "AC"))
                fltRng.AutoFilter 15, c.Value
                sd = WorksheetFunction.Min(Columns("O").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible))
                ed = WorksheetFunction.Max(Columns("Q").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible))
                sd = Right(sd, 2)
                ed = Right(ed, 2)
            End With
            c.Offset(0, 1) = sd & "-" & ed
            fltRng.AutoFilter
        End If
    Next
End Sub

Thanks but this returns 0-0 in each cell in column B?

It is something I will be using on several workbooks lots of times. I would be putting it in my Personal Macro Workbook so it would be more user-friendly for me to just select and run instead of copying>pasting formulas etc each time.

Also as I am curious, without some sort of variable how will the formula remember the earliest start year of a part in row 28 for example when it is found again in row 2000 then row 3000 etc etc ?

Same approach as I offered earlier but in macro:

Sub MinMaxYear()
Dim i As Long
Dim wbThis As Workbook: Set wbThis = ThisWorkbook
 
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
 
wbThis.Activate
 
Sheets("Sheet2").Activate
 
For i = 2 To Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
 
    'Assuming you don't already have something in Sheet2 Col D
    Range("D" & i).FormulaArray = "=RIGHT(MIN(IF(Sheet1!AC:AC=A" & i & ",Sheet1!O:O)),2)"
    
    'Assuming you don't already have something in Sheet2 Col E
    Range("E" & i).FormulaArray = "=RIGHT(MAX(IF(Sheet1!AC:AC=A" & i & ",Sheet1!Q:Q)),2)"
    
    'Concatenate Col D & Col E
    Range("B" & i).Formula = "=D" & i & "&""-""&E" & i
    
    'Turn to values
    Range("B" & i).Copy
        
        With Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("B" & i)
            .PasteSpecial xlValues
        End With
    
    Application.CutCopyMode = False
    
    'Get rid of the Col D & Col E formulas
    Range("D" & i & ":E" & i).ClearContents
 
Next i
 
MsgBox "Done!"
 
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
 
End Sub

In the code I just posted in #9, the variable in the part number in column A & "i" row of loop. Because the Min & Max formulas are array formulas with an "if" statement restricting the results to the Sheet1 Col AC rows that match the Sheet2 A&"i" part variable, it is simply finding the MIN year shown for that part number and the MAX year shown for that part number and parsing the right 2 digits from both of these. Another formula concatenates the Min & Max pieces into Sheet2 Col B.
