Building A Lookup Table With 3 Variables/3 Answers
Mar 25, 2009
I'm trying to figure out how best to build a table to do:
IF A1="yes", "no", "na" and
IF B1="yes", "no","na" and
IF C1="yes","no","na" then
"AT" or "IC" or "VE"
So, I need a table that can look up responses to three questions, then lookup the corresponding answer (AT, IC or VE). Some of the combinations of anwers will yield the same anwer (i.e: yes, yes, yes=AT and yes,yes,no=also AT). I'm trying to come up with the most probable answer by evaluating these three questions; Thus; 10 combinations will yield an answer of "AT", 10 combo will yield "IC" and 7 combo will yield "VE". I've done this with 2 variables, but can't seem to get it to work with three...
Instead of trying to explain my challenge, the attached workbook should be self explanatory. My answer is surrounded by the box. I need a formula that would automatically provide this output.
I am new to pivot tables and charts and to build.... I heard that the best is to use pivot tables but no clue how to do it I have tried but no luck....
How can I see the following information in chart?
-Non con close out time by person- so who is failing to close out on time in this case is completion date -Frequency of reports by area/ shift -Number of reports by month, split into critical/major/minor -Main reasons for reports so trend of type of record
Would like to sum a table without putting individual answers on each row and summing column. The table can consists of 100's of rows but only 3 columns.
I am trying to perform a lookup (vlookup) function in a cell in excel and wish to have the range as a variable, so that I can adjust which column the lookup function refers to.
I am trying to use lookup function to lookup for data in another table (we call it table A). Unfortunately, whenever the code is not in the table A, Excel will return the data from the previous row.... is there any possible way to prevent this... in another word, if the code does not exist in the table A, I want Excel to return 0 or some other figures.
see attached pivot table... I believe that there is a statistical relationship between column B & C (together, i.e. their combined effect) upon column D. i.e. (B & C) - have some relationship to effect D.
(1) What formula would I use to measure this correlation?
Struggling a bit on this one! I have tried the index function, but doesn’t quite work how I need it. Consider the attachment as an example:
I have three cells, 2 of which are drop down lists, and the third is simply the result from the input variables. The yellow and green section contains the info for my drop down lists, and the orange contains the data range. Trouble is ‘Index’ is looking at the contents of my cells, and not the corresponding cell address. So lets say I have cells F5 and A8, the answer I would be looking for is 23.7, but because the contents of my input cells are 185, and 5, its looking for column 185 and row 5, when I want it to look for the column/row that relates to these values, i.e. column 6, row 8.
and what I want is to say put a formula in cell B3 on Sheet 1 pointing to cell C3 that has zip code 33333. I want it to then take that and look in Sheet 2 and search A1:D3 and when it finds 33333, return "territory 2" back to cell B3 on Sheet 1.
I'm interested in creating a two variable data table with the two variables in the top two rows.
I'm aware that two variable data tables are usually done in an array with variables in the top row and leftmost column. However, as there are multiple outputs to the variations that I want to make it makes sense to have the variations in the two top rows.
Is there a way to test out a formula using Excel that has more than 2 variables? (If only 2 variables, I would use a simple data table). The formula I am testing has 50X50X20 variables (and as a subset, each variable has 2500 lines of assumptions!). I don't need to see all the results, only the result that produces the highest result. For simplicity (if someone has an answer) let's assume 3 variables are A1, A2 and A3. Formula is in A4 and formula is A1+A2+A3. Assuming A1 can be 1 to 5 and A2 same , A3 same, the long hand calc is for me to run a data table using variables in A1 and A2 the fixing A3 (as 1)..note maximum result....then run data table again using variables in A1 and A2 and changing fixed value in A3 to the number 2...and so on and so on....in this simple example I know the max result would be 15, but much more difficult in my spreadsheet test.
I am trying to create a spreadsheet containing a table of dimensions that are multiples of up to six loadable variables. I work for a stainless steel tank manufacturer. The body of tanks are formed from coil stock of varying widths. Typically these might be 1200mm, 1500mm, 2000mm and possibly 1800mm as well as the imperial equivalents. This could mean up to eight variables but in reality all are unlikely at any one given time.
We are told the volume that the tank is required to contain and a target preferred diameter. The theoretical height is therefore derived from this information. But now comes the tricky bit. It is desirable, to minimise cost of welding by minimising the number of strakes or wrappers. Can anyone give me a formula or whatever that can be used to do this and hopefully generate a table of close heights up to say 40 meters. Thus allowing an operator to select from say five presented options.
I have a table in a spreadsheet that the three principal widths of 1200mm 1500mm and 2000mm generate. It was created for me a while ago by a gentleman working at the Amsterdam Museum that I’m happy to send for perusal. The trouble is he never told me how he did it and no matter how hard I try, I cannot discover the method or formula. The first column gives the total combined height, the second the number of 1200mm wrappers, the third the number of 1500mm and the last the number of 2000mm. It is that simple
I need to place a lookup table in a work book and I'm not sure how to do it.Below is what I specifically need in my workbook.
c. The workbook will need a lookup table that will lookup the tuition, clothing and entertainment figures depending on the selection of college, and will ensure that only the colleges on the list are selectable. That is, the worksheet will not allow the user to enter another college not in the list.
The lookup list must be on a worksheet by itself at the end of the workbook.
I have a query about using Array Variables in excel VBA. I have a set of lookup tables and a main data table. The data table will be downloaded everyday. I need to replace the ID's in the main table with actual data from the Lookup tables.
e.g. Main Data Table Color Operator 005--325 005 004--326 004 003--327 001--328 002--322
Lookup Color 001 - Red 002 - Blue 003 - Green 004 - Violet 005 - White
I have a huge amount of data in the main table. So I can't use a lookup formula for automation. Rather I would like to use VBA to create array variables, scan and copy the lookup data into the array and replace the ID's in the main table.
Only that I am unable to achieve this using arrays. I am very basic in executing code related to Arrays.
I was trying to use the VBA code to generate a data table:
Private Sub createDataTable(WS As Worksheet, initialRow As Integer, numCol As Integer, numRows As Integer) Dim initialCell As Range 'specify the upper left cell Dim RefCell As Range 'the reference cell on the caculator sheet
'activate source sheet ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Calculator").Activate Set RefCell = ActiveSheet.Cells(2, 3) WS.Activate Set initialCell = ActiveSheet.Cells(initialRow, 1) initialCell.offset(numRows, numCol).Select Selection.Table ColumnInput:=RefCell 'the calculation should be automatic, if not, then calculate WS.Calculate End Sub
and it kept giving me an input celll not valid error on this line: Selection.Table ColumnInput:=RefCell the thing is, I have defined RefCell as a range object, so it should be OK rite?
I am attempting to do a search on a 2 dimensional table, based on Product Code/Month. Is there a function, addin or a macro that will allow me to do this? All I can come up with is a messy combination of VLOOKUP/HLOOKUP/COLUMN.
For what I'd like to do, the attached workbook actually represents 3 worksheet. one input sheet and two output sheets (output1 and output2)
I plan to use command button " CommandButton1" on input sheet to start the calculations
Here's what I want to do after pressing the " CommandButton1" :
1. start with case 1 and find the value of Input A to Input J from input table using Vlookup and paste those values to respective palceholder for inputs in blue colour area above the input table for each input.
2.for empty cell in the input table paste 0 (zero)
3. after this will give results for case 1 inputs on sheets "output1" and "output2" on basis of formulas used for each output
4.then copy the results for case 1 inputs from sheet "output1" and "output2" and paste them on "input sheet " in Output table (its below Input Table) next to case1
5.Do this for all cases (in actual workbook there will be more than 100 cases)
I need to be able to locate some important columns in a table of raw data (the column locations are not fixed).
I would like to identify the locations (based on the heading values in Row 1) and store them as Public variables. The Match function works fine for this, however I'd like to make a simple loop to set these variables (opposed to repeating the function for each).
In the example below, I can't figure out how to reference "List1(Count)" as the name of the variable I'm trying to set.
Code:
Public Field1 As Long, Field2 As Long, Field3 As Long 'The column numbers will be stored here Sub FindFields() Dim List1(3), List2(3) Dim Count As Long 'Public variables (declared above)
[Code] ......
So after running FindFields(), the Test1() macro should give "1 - 2 - 3" (for example) as the locations of the fields in Sheet1. But currently this doesn't work.
I get a file every day that contains online orders for a client. They have made the state and country fields on the order form free text, so sometimes the State field has CA, sometimes California, sometimes even Cal or Cali. Oregon may be represented as OR, Oregon, or Ore (and one time even Orygon.)
The country field may have US, USA, United States and sometimes United States of America.
Well, they need this data imported to their system with the states fully spelled out: Oregon, California. And the country spelled out as well: United States, Canada.
Right now I have a lookup tables worksheet that I just have a macro run a vlookup on. But I'd like to know if there is a way I could just put it all in the code, without the external tables.
i.e. some code that, in English, would basically say, "If the value of any cell in column K is among these values, replace it with those values, otherwise just leave it as it is". Could I do that while containing the two sets of values right in the code rather than on a worksheet?
I really just want to replace the standard abbreviated state/country codes with the full text, and if the value does contain Cali or Ore, let them manually make the change. Hopefully that will finally nudge them to just make the online order form utilize a drop-down list of states and countries, rather than free text.
I am building a chart from a pivot table and the data changes weekly therefore my chart changes weekly and I want to have the same colors on my graphs from week to week. I created this code to keep everything the same. Problem is when some of the data is not there for a given week (say no calls from a certain city) a corresponding data set doesn’t get created and the macro won’t work. Is there a way to run if the a data set is not available and to keep the colors the same?
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(3).Select With Selection.Border .Weight = xlThin .LineStyle = xlAutomatic End With..............
I need to update a Variable I called "Croy70" by making up its name from two cells
Left(Range("L" & i), 4) & Right(Range("J" & i), 2)) = i Where i=2 and L2 is "Croydon" and J2 is "ABC70"
I apologise for this simple question, but I appear to have left my brain at home this morning and all the VBA help files are missing from the computer I'm using!
1. User will first input Medication type in first column. Second Column - Dosage Third Column - Start Date, Fourth Column - End date
There will be multiple entries for the same medication because of dosage change. I can simply get them to insert a new row underneath each medication, and they can then input new dosage, new start/end dates
There will be a cell entry for the form start date, as it will be populated on the main page.
The solution I believe will involve an if statement, with argument being if date is still within range of start/end date, that it will generate text on particular date.
Cell C7 is a drop down list with 3 possibles (Consumer,Commercial, Public). Depending on which is chosen, I want Cell C10 to provide a different list of possibles (Consumer Products, Commercial Products, Public Products).
I have tried to create a custom IF statement with the list choice & sometimes it refuses & sometimes it gives me the list, but with the formula string as the drop down options.
Is this forumula possible or is it beyond excel's capability?
I am trying to achieve the following in one formula.
IF an amount is greater than 0 and less than 500,000 put in 490 IF an amount is greater than 500,000 and less than 1,000,000 put in 1000 IF an amount is greater than 1,000,000 and less than 4,000,000 put in 2205 IF an amount is greater than 4,000,000 and less than 9,000,000 put in 5000 IF an amount is greater than 9,000,000 and less than 10,000,000 put in 6500 IF an amount is greater than 10,000,000 and less than 15,000,000 put in 7500 IF an amount is greater than 15,000,000 put in 9500
