#NA Error In A Vlookup When Using SEARCH And LEFT As The Lookup Value
Feb 2, 2010
In the attached sheet I am trying to use the formula below but am getting a #NA error. I have narrowed the problem down to the use of the SEARCH and LEFT functions that I am using to determine the lookup value of the VLOOKUP formula.
what I am doing wrong? If I substitute the SEARCH and LEFT function with the number "14" it works just fine. You can find examples of both in cells B29 and C29 on the rename tab.

I am trying to use a lookup formula to search for a word in a column, and return the value of the column directly to its left. I know that this cannot be done using the vlookup function, and I am not able to move the columns around. Is there another possibility? In plain English then, I would like cell E2 to look up the value of D2 in column B2:B4 and return the relevant value in column A2:A4.

here is an example....
(this is on a sheet called Summary)
----A--------B --------C------- D
1Names----At Bats----Hits----Batting Average
2Tom-------38--------31------.816
3Derek------19--------14------.737
4Joey-------40--------28------.700
5Chris-------40--------27------.675
6Chuck------37--------24------.649
Using the LARGE function, Excel has created a list based on batting averages(on a separate sheet called Line-up). It looks like this.....
---A----------B
1Names----Averages
2 -----------.737
3 -----------.700
4 -----------.675
5 -----------.816
6 -----------.649
The problem I am having is figuring a way for Excel to also bring the corresponding names (after using the LARGE function to create the line up list).

I am trying to copy "E_CODE" column values corresponding to "Trimmed E_N" from sheet1 to sheet2 "check" column.
to do this, i am using the LOOKUP function to match the text in "sheet2 - CONC" with "sheet1- Trimmed E_N", and if it matches, return the corresponding values from "sheet1 - E_CODE".
not all strings in "sheet2-CONC" exist in "sheet1-Trimmed E_N", so i should be getting "sheet1 - E_CODE" values only for those that exist.
I tried using VLOOKUP but it kept giving me N/A, and i couldn't figure out why even after searching the forums. LOOKUP is giving me values that are greater/lesser than because of its inherent properties and now i am not sure what to do.

Here is my spreadsheet
A B C D 1 Matt 5 4 75 2 Joe 25 23 66 3 Ron 31 33 82 4 Jim 22 45 91 5 Steve 99 100 11
I used the large function to find the top 5 greatest numbers. I have them ranked in another area below the first set of numbers.
100
99
91
82
75
I need to find some sort of formula to return the name for the appropriate number. For example, I need the cell immediately to the right of 100 to return Steve; 99 to say Steve; 91 to say Jim. The INDEX/MATCH formulas used for left lookups works only for a column. I would have to set the index/match formula individually for each column to the right of the top 5 numbers, and that defeats the purpose. I might as well just find the numbers and connect the names all by hand.

I have two worksheets. The first one contains 500 rows:
Column A - Company Name
Column J - Formula that calculates a 'company score' based on other data in columns B-H
Column K - Number of directors
The second worksheet contains over 3000 rows:
Column A - Name
Column B - Company
Column C - Designation
I want to caculate a score for each person (from worksheet 2) that does the following:
Personal Score = ('Company Score' / No. of directors) * Designation Weighting
Where Designation Weighting (numerical value) is determined by Designation (text). There are 10 different and mutually exclusive types of text in the Designation column.
My problem is compounded by the fact that each person (in worksheet 2) can be directors on several companies. The Personal Score that I want to calculate needs to recognise which different companies they are directors of and sum the scores derived from each company.

Is it possible to make VLOOKUP look to the left?
Imagine following arrangement of data:
Address Name PIN
A-street Abe 4587
B-street Bob 8214
V-street Val 9657
I want to know the name of the person who has PIN 4587. Is it possible to do this without rearranging the columns?

What I need is to find a max value within a range and then tell me what the row value in Column A is. Usually use VLOOKUP for this but this doesn't like minus numbers.
I think it has something to do with Match and Offset but can't get it to work properly.
I have attached an example, where the max of the total is 4,435 and belongs to Steve but how do I get this to do using formulas

What i have so far is:
-3 Sheets (Sheet1 - Search, Sheet2 - Data, Sheet3 - Result)
-Sheet1 has a userform ready to link up - this opens up when workbook and worksheet is activated.
-Sheet2 has some example data to search - the search is for column 1 (see attachment)
-Sheet3 has a template ready for the data to be pasted to.
I would like the search result is column 1 to copy the data from columns 1 to 7 to sheet3.
I want the template/layout to remain after the pasting of results. (everything protected from editing, if possible).
Once finished (ie go back to sheet1, i want the data from sheet3 to be cleared.)

In the attached spreadsheet you will see the table of data in cells e6:L16. In cell N6 i am doing a hlookup to find the date in the table of data that is closest to the date in cell A4. The formula in cell M6 is where i am having the problem and i was trying to pull in data that is 4 columns to the left of where the hlookup date is in cell N6. The problem i am having is when i input any date higher than 06/30/07 the Index formula does not display the correct date. What is confusing me is that the Hlookup formula in cell N6 still works with higher dates but the index formula does not.

Function sequence giving me "N/A": =VLOOKUP(LEFT(C6,5),H:I,2,FALSE)
Basically, I have numbers that each start with a unique sequence. The first 5 numbers of that sequence represent a certain cell carrier.
What I want to do is have the function look up the first 5 characters of a cell and depending on the 5 characters, I want it to return a certain value.
My idea with the vlookup was to have the lookup value be the first 5 digits and then in my table, it would take only those 5 digits and return a value I have specified in the second column.

VLOOKUP(LEFT(C4,3),C4:E38,2,FALSE)
I combined the first two formulas into one (the third one) but it is not working. I get an N/A result.

Excel offers many ways to use a key to lookup a value (VLookup, Index/Match, DGet, and the rest). What's the fastest way to perform a lookup of a small table of, say, 30 rows of key-value pairs? Theoretically, it would be most efficient to use a branch table (also known as a jump table). See the wikipedia article for branch tables: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branch_table. Does Excel/VBA have a way to create a branch table for such lookups?

Code: =VLOOKUP((LEFT(C4,6)),'Data from 7500'!$B$16:$G$195,6,TRUE)
And it works great, except that the data returned is off by one row. For example, the correct value for the sample name in B107 is located in G107, but the formula returns the value in cell G106. I've tried changing the TRUE to FALSE and that returns #N/A.

I am trying to obtain price of an item using vlookup() function on the identifier 0003128 (7 digits) stored with custom format 0000000 in one worksheet. However in other worksheet, the identifier is stored as 000312 (6 digits) with text format without the last digit 8. I tried using the left(A,6) function on 0003128 but instead of returning 000312 it returns 3128 and Im unable to use the vlookup() function.

If value is found it should insert in sheet one the value that is in the cell next to the found value. The data is not sorted. I have attempted and failed with using different functions.

I have a workbook which has data from 2 different time points (6 and 12 months) and this is signified by a prefix to an ID number which is a letter (A or B) and a number:
I need to analyse data separately so I'd like to create 2 separate workbooks, once which imports all of the 6 month data (1 row per case) and one for the 12 month data.
I thought that this would be based around a VLOOKUP of the first 1 or 2 characters but I can't work out how to integrate this with an 'IF' and link it to another workbook.

I have a large table with data to which I want to retrieve a name to the left of a certain cell.
Clear as mud so far!
I've put together a small example of what I'm after. In cell F9 is the MAX of cells F2:F7. In cell H3 I then want a formula that will find the MAX of F2:F7 and return the text five rows to the left of that cell. In this example it would be Fred.
The second part of this question is how could I get it to display if more than one person had the same total....
