Compiling List With VLookup And Skipping If Not Relevant?
May 2, 2013
I am compiling an Excel programme with two sheets, One sheet is constantly being updated with data from a website. The download from the website is quite messy and I have to sort through the relevant data. I need to compile two lists on Sheet two that will take the Name from Column A1 and Value from B1 on Sheet 1 but only If the value of C1 is above 5 or below 0 (negative).If the value isn't correct, it will ignore that row and skip down to A2 B2 C2 etc. Hoping to get two tidy lists on Sheet 2 with no blanks/gaps.
I have a list of names that I'm looking up, and I want to list the data relevant to each name in a seperate place using a VLOOKUP ,(maybe theres a better way to do it) but some of the names appear more than once, resulting in an error.
I have on the first sheet, Name, Customer, Amount and Variance.
On the seperate sheet (in the same workbook) I have then name with 4 VLOOKUPS underneath, trying to extract the data Customer, Amount and Variance. But, I get errors in all of them.
Is there anyway I can List all the data relevant to each name using a Lookup function or is there another formula I should be using?
I do not know what function will do what I need. I am compiling info from different sources to make a mailing list. Basically it boils down to the following. Sheet 1 has Names and Parcel Numbers, sheet 2 has Parcel Numbers and Addresses. I am trying to combine it in a way that I have names and addresses on the same sheet.
I have a column (B) of randomly generated numbers 1-14, and am using this formula range to sort in descending order and return the relevant value from column (c).
=VLOOKUP(LARGE(B3:B20,1),B3:C20,2,) to =VLOOKUP(LARGE(B3:B20,14),B3:C20,2,)
Works great, except when a number is duplicated, (E.G. 14,13,13,12,11,10,10,9,8 etc). It then returns the first value from(C) repeated, and not the value from the second and subsequent duplicated reference numbers.
I have scoured the net for the following and have not been able to find a solution. I have found variations but not something specific for the use needed here.
I have attached a file with sample data which has the following format.
Column 1 = vehicle model (in this example golf, jetta, but there will be over 100 choices)
Column 2 = vehicle package option for specified vehicle model (automatic transmission, manual transmission, automatic transmission with air conditioning, etc...)
Column 3 = vehicle colour available for vehicle package option
Please note that Column 2 values for 'golf' are different than values available for 'jetta' (in the sample data I have blocked out common values with the same colour for quick and easy identification)
Also please note that Column 3 values of colour options vary for each 'vehicle package option'.
The behaviour that would be ideal is to have 3 drop down menus. The first drop down menu will allow selection from column 1 and will show each model only one time and repeated values will not be shown. The second drop down menu will only show the options available based on the selection in the first drop down menu. Likewise, the third drop down menu will show the colour options available based on the selection in the second drop down menu.
Since my data will involve hundreds of unique values in column 1 with plenty more added over time, it seems that the format of the data and the way it is laid out in the attached sample is the easiest way to organize it. It is perhaps also the easiest way to include new data without a lot of reprogramming.
Sample Data - Dependent Drop Down Cells Question.xlsx
I need to create a table with the top 14 'ReNo' for each code listed in columns F1-R1. These need to be in chronological order. Also if the code is part of the latest date then that first ReNo. needs to be ignored (since it will not have completed its cycle).
getting to the formula I have but I can't get it to sort in these ways, so as it is its not working right.
I have a spreadsheet (Need Data.xls) that needs to be filled out with a couple columns of data.
This data lays within 338 spreadsheets which have many items and may only have 2, or 3, or 50 that belong on my Need Data.xls spreadsheet.
I have a tab in Need Data.xls named "DIR" which has a list of 336 excel files that need to vlookup'd into.(not a separate file) They're all setup with this format:
i need code to find name and compile the value cell next to it...This is how it goes..
File A (2 columns) consist of name,Cash and the name tends to have many repeats (for some reason)
i want my file B to let user first key in a name(which should be the same as File A) and Compile all the cost of that particular name and display in a cell in file B
I have 5 sheets in 1 wookbook with about 15 columns of varying rows of data. What I need to do is create a macro which collates all the rows of data, which with their own heading, onto 1 sheet so that it can be printed and distributed.
The problem is of course is that normal copy and paste won't work because the rows may vary and the macro need to take that into consideration. I guess probably an 'If not or' type command that would copy and paste the row so long as it had values then move onto the next sheet and continue from the last one.
I have a row of text (for example say they are cells c3, d3, e3, f3) that have one of four text strings (red, yellow, green, blue). In cell b3, I need it to report back the column heading of all the cells that have the text "blue".
So if cells c3 and f3 have text "blue", then I need their column headings to be inserted into cell b3.
I have several tabs in a spready, and I want to be able to compile a range of cells from each tab (constant selection of cells from each tab) together as a list in a new sheet.
The list needs to be able to be populated in any order and with repetition.
I'm thinking some sort of sheet for selecting which tabs to bring in info from would be useful, and then a command button to compile all the info into one list on a new tab...but I have no idea how to write the code for it!
I have 3 different sheets with data that I want to combine into one sheet using a formula. Here is an example:
Sheet A Date Amount 10/1 $5 10/2 $10 10/7 $5
Sheet B Date Amount 10/2 $7 10/3 $10
Sheet C Date Amount 10/5 $5 10/6 $10
I want a fourth sheet that fills with all the data from these three sheets. Ideally it would be in order by date, but I understand that might not be possible. So the last sheet should look like this:
The reason I want to use a formula of some sort is because if I add more rows to sheet A for example, I want the fourth sheet to automatically add it (whether it's possible to do in date order or not).
I'm creating an InputBox that pulls from various cells in my worksheet to create a sentence as the default value in the text-space. For example:
A1 = Policy Number B1 = Credit Amount (i.e. $10) C1 = $ Info [i.e. if credit is for one month (1 x 10), if two months (2 x 10)] D1 = Date Policy Ended E1 = Months Excluded from Bills
Thus, the sentence that the InputBox would display would be: Today's Date + A1 + B1 + C1 + D1 + E1 Date - Policy # - Credit Amount - Info - Date Ended - Months Excluded
A text example would be: 30JUL2009 - 1234 - $10 - 1x10 - 01JUN2009 - Exc Jul,Aug09
The issue I'm having is how to have the InputBox macro ignore one of the cells if it's empty. My current code is:
I have a file with 26 worksheets, each have four columns and the last column is averaged at the bottom, and I'd like to make a summary worksheet tab showing the name of the table, the number of records, and the average score of all 26 sheets.
The problem is, some worksheets have 20 rows, some have 1400 rows. I could go choose the data manually, but isn't there an easier way to do this?
The table name is merge/centered across the four columns, and is the worksheet name (using a formula I found on here). Then the four columns have headers, then data. The last row of each worksheet doesn't have the normal data in it, but says "Records Counted," then has a COUNT of the rows, then has "Average," then has an average of the column above.
I've been asked to compile and sum weekly sales data. The problem is that the data was supplied in 52 separate tabs, for each week of the year (I don't know who on earth thought that would be the most appropriate way to send the data).
Is there any quick way to import all the data from each tab into one worksheet? The data is laid out the exact same way on each tab. All the row and column headings are the same, and in the same cells. Only the numbers are different (obviously).
I have looked all over the place but nothing seems to work for me. In detail, I have a quote book i made with two sheets for different types of items on them. For example:
Sheet 1 is for wooden items, and sheet 2 is for metal items. So after i enter all the items on sheet one and sheet two, I want to be able to combine all the items from both sheets into one summary sheet that i can send to the customer.
I tried consolidate, and messed around with pivot tabels but it didnt seem to be what i'm looking for.
I have a large amount of data that I need to be able to summarize certain fields in order to be able to work with the data.
What I have is multiple lines which all pertain to one record and I need to be able to summarize these into one line - which would give me a sum in certain columns. I am working with thousands of lines of data.
There is about 10 columns in the worksheet. I want to be able to tell Excel that if certain columns all match, then to summarize these lines and give me a sum total on a couple of other columns. The data I am working with is invoice data, so I want to know if certain columns - ie - Vendor name, invoice number, cheque number are the same in each row, then to sum these records and provide a total for the invoice amount and cheque amount columns.
This sounds like a complex function to me but I am hoping that someone has a solution for me.
I am working on a spreadsheet where I need to have data from different sheets added but based on the instructor whose data I want to see in the summary sheet. I want to be able to type the name of the instructor in a cell and have all of the data appear below. I believe that an index match formula would work, but I do not know how to have the data from the different sheets added nested in the formula.
I have been trying to compile some monthly and annual data from our main sheet to a FY09 sheet (for the fiscal year 2009). The 2 tabs in the uploaded example are the Distribution tab which we use to track the status of every item and the FY09 tab where I need the totals to be calculated for each month as well as the entire year. I have tried several formulas I found while searching the forum but I can not seem to get any of them to work, (I am sure it is because I don't understand them very well).
Since any formulas used will need to be copied 200 or so times, I would really like a VB solution which should also reduce the physical size of the file. I also tried a pivot table but I do not think it will show everything I need.
Basically, I need all the items separated by month on the FY09 tab. Then column 'F' on the Distribution tab needs to be summed up for each item in column 'D' of the FY09 tab for the respective month and multiplied by the respective item price in column'C' with the total value going in column 'E'. Column 'D' and 'E' need to be summed up for each month and cumulative for the entire year. There needs to be an average items and value for each month as well as for the year.
Here is my code thus far - it seems to go through the directory and copy data (single columns of 101 data-points) from the workbooks, but does not successfully paste it into the master-workbook (error message reads: 'paste method of worksheet class failed').
VB: Sub LoopThroughDirectory() Dim MyFile As String Dim ecolumn MyFile = Dir("C:Documents and SettingskbriemMy DocumentsErindi_i_vinnsluEXCELprufa1")
I have several workbooks (5) with the same variables (columns- A:Q) but with a changing amount of rows (2:n, not including the headers). Each row corresponds to a date range (usually a week) for a particular person (up to 40 people) plus a few other values.
I would like to have a way of "merging" or "compiling" the 5 "seed" workbooks into 1 "master" worksheet. Where rows 2:n of each of the 5 "seed" workbooks are added to the master without any duplication of the same name-date range combination. Also, the master worksheet should not include the rows which only contain a name and date range but for which all the other variables are zero or missing.
Each "seed" workbook would have a button that sends the data over to the "master" worksheet.
Is this a really difficult project? Feasible for someone with near to zero VBA experience?
I attached 3 files to show you what I mean. The 2 "seed" files are merged into the "master" file. Please note that in the files only 2 names are used, but the "seed" files could contain any combination of 40 some names. Also note that the length of rows which contains data in the "seed" files is variable, although it should not be longer than 16 rows + the header row.
I've taken part of our instrument service data and eventually want to trend the performance but have decided it will only useful to use data where I have 4 or more data points. However with so much data I want to automate the process rather than scrolling through the column. I assume this requires a lookup table of sorts but I don't know how to combine that and getting the other bits of relevant information (I.e. all dates and results).
I have two worksheets and need to consolidate the relevant data into one worksheet.
On both worksheets there is one column that I can relate to the other worksheet, called "TKR", which contains a code in each field, such as "000210 K", or "004170KS". Both worksheets have this column. In the first worksheet, called POS, each "TKR" code tells me that this is a relevant "TKR" code in the DB worksheet. I am not interested in the data in POS, just the code to tell me which records are relevant in DB.
In DB is the information I need to extract. But in this worksheet, there are many irrelevant records, which I need to ignore. I need to reference the data in the TKR column in the POS worksheet with the data in the TKR column of the DB worksheet, then extract the record from the DB worksheet and place it in a new worksheet, along with each other extracted record, compiling a consolodated list. I could do this by cut and paste, but I have 30 different databases, both POS and DB, each containing up to 6000 records.
In the POS worksheet there is more than one record for each "TKR" code. I can run an Advanced Filter to extract a consolidated list of "TKR" codes. I am stumped however on how to then use that list to reference the same codes in the DB worksheet and extract the records to a new sheet.
I've been given the task of automating a spreadsheet to assess whether work has been done by each employee. Every employee has their own spreadsheet, where column A is a job code, and column H contains either y or n dentoting whether they have completed the task (y) or not (n).
The main spreadsheet is designed to show any outstadning tasks across everybody so it has a list of everybodies names in column A and then any incomplete tasks will be listed from columns b onwards next to the appropriate person. Here is what I have done at the moment.
