Continue Searching A Table With Vlookup Despite Finding One Match
Jul 1, 2008
Im using vlookup to search a table and fill out a calendar with dates that various employees are gone. They can have multiple trips in one month and thus will be in the table multiple times. I have the calendar set up so days go across the top and names go along hte left side. so each cell is identified by name and day. I then have each cell using the vlookup command to search the table. now if one person has multiple trips a month is there a way to compare multiple entries in the table?
I have some intersting issue. Actually there are lot of functions in excel but my purpose is somewhat is solved by VLOOKUP , MATCH, OFFSET, INDEX functions.
Prob: Here i have a database contains as below A1 B1 C1 D1 111 123 i/p o/p 222 301 111 321 333 456
If i keep 222 / 333 in C1 i will get output at D1 as 301 / 456 respectively. But if i keep 111 , i want a desired result to be most lastly updated value in the array that is 321 but it is printing 123.
let say if have A1 B1 C1 D1 111 123 i/p o/p 222 301 111 321 333 456 111 500
then if i enter 111 in C1 then i want to get 500 but still am getting 123 only. tht is the first hit. i want to return a value which has lastly updated.
So if i use any fuctions from above i may getting correct results for 222,333 but i want result for 111.
Thoughts and rules: 1.The new entry will added at the end of the array. 2. A1/B1 are only numbers. 3. free to use any functions
U can have flexibility to create one more array or even update the column B1 if any i/p matches in column A1. So there will always a single output for each unique input. Imean to say u can have a array with
A1 B1 C1 D1 111 321 (replace 123 with 321) i/p o/p 222 301 (remove this entry) 333 456
I have this vba code and i want it to carry on finding the next cell with the same value, so every time i click the button it'll find the next cell with the same value. E.g. i type in mark it'll find the first Mark, then click again it'll find the second Mark and so on
Sub Find_cust()
If Range("N3").Value = "" Then MsgBox "Please enter a customer name" Exit Sub
End If
valueToLookFor = Range("N3").Value Set found = Worksheets("CD").Range("b:b").Find(valueToLookFor, LookIn:=xlValues) If Not found Is Nothing Then iRow = found.Row Cells(iRow, "A").Select
I am having some trouble getting a formula to work. I am building a report that pulls figures from a pivot table in another workbook. I am using a vlookup with match function to get the column index to find the relevant data I want. Where I need to add two columns together I am using sum, with the vlookup & match formulas nested in them e.g.:
Where: F13 = Employee number Column C on the pivot 156 workbook is where the employee number is based. The Match formula is then getting the column index from the column headings of the pivot table ie. "FAID"
This in itself works fine, as long as it finds a match in the column headings. This is where i get the error as in the above function "COMD" is not in the pivot table. However I need to keep it included as it may appear on a future pivot table. Is there a way of getting the sum function to complete even though later in the formula it can't complete the vlookup? So it will ignore it, or assume the value is zero if it can't find it? The formula probably needs to do this for all the vlookups as some headings may drop off in future pivot tables.
I'm using VLOOKUP with MATCH to find data in a table. I now have to add a third condition to the look up. I've attahced a file as an example. I'm not sure how to list the data for the third condtion. I created another table with the data for third condition.
I've used the code below and it's worked to stop Update Links message, but i still need one tip to avoid continue message that shows up after Update Links massage:
Private Sub Workbook_Open() Application.AskToUpdateLinks = False Sheets("Feb").Activate Range("A200:I400").Select Selection.QueryTable.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=True End Sub
The easiest way of explaining what I'm after is to say, I have letters of the alphabet, in their own cells, and I want to find them by way of a search. I don't mind how this is done, but it would be good if for example you entered A, C and E, any cells containing those letters changed, maybe became bold, or the cell filled with colour.
I have one sheet (sheet 2) that contains three columns of data, a range of a low value and a high value and a corresponding value (column c)-- A B C 0 54 0 55 64 1 on the other sheet(sheet 1), i have a column(column x) in which i need to find that corresponding value (that column c on sheet 2). basically, i need to write a function that says if value x (on sheet 1, column y) is between the values in columns A and B (on sheet 2), input the corresponding C cloumn value (on sheet 2) into column x on sheet 1. i hope this makes sense. an additional snag is that i have about 60 rows on sheet 2, and i need to make it keep searching this table until it finds the range that contains my value x (on sheet 1).
i have a spreadsheet that i use for work which has 1 page that contains all the data for the workbook. on other pages i use this data, and tables, to pull information to those pages or other pages which complete my work in a more timely fashion.
that issue i'm having is when i try to look up specific values within the data page tables and there are multiple values.
i need a way to choose different values rather than the "first" value in the instance of a vlookup which only finds the first value.
in the pictures i have picture 1 (vlookup samples) has a section where i can type in the "office" code and it will auto pull "switch name" and "switch clli" via vloookup.
in picture 2 (switches sample) i have created a table, which is on another page as stated above, but if i try to search for the example "LSGT5" it only returns a switch name value of "LFTYINXFDS0" and there is also a value of "LFYTINXFDS1".
there are many more within the table(for this office code alone) but this is just an example of how i need a way to choose the proper one or somehow have a drop down without having to create a bunch of tables for each office itself.
I am trying to match data from 2 independent sets, formatted slightly differently so not sure which function would work best for me. From the attached file, I am trying to match the date and time stamp (in cell A1) with that from the other data (in this example in cell E1) and return the data (from cell F1) to cell C1. So basically any date and time stamp before 04/03/09 04:00 will return a value of 44 (this value should appear, therefore in cells C1 - C30)
Basically I've got a back end worksheet with a huge table full of data (hundreds of rows, tens of columns) containing the data for a load of different contracts (each contract is on a different row).
I have all the information I want displayed on a front sheet by means of very simple lookups which looks for one contract at a time to display that information. What I would like to do is to be able to alter that information on the front sheet which will then go back and lookup that entry in the big table and overwrite the old data with the new. Effectively I want the excel sheet to act as a user form, but without actually using a form (a requirement from the people I'm doing this for). I'm struggling to find out how to do this as I don't know which VB functions I would need to use.
Each contract has its own unique reference number, so really what I need is some sort of code that will look for that reference number in the back end table, then look for any differences between what's on the front sheet and on the back end, and then replace anything that's changed.
Sheet B contains a column called "Name" and for each name, and for each name there are corresponding numbers. In sheet A, I have a "list of interest" in column A. What i want to do look through the data in sheetB to find a match from the list of interest and return the corresponding letters, located in column A.
I have filled out the first two rows of results that should be returned as an example.
One idea i had was to put a vlookup formula in each column result 1 to result 6 so i can catch all 6 "Serves" columns from column B, but there may be duplicates in the serve columns and vlookup only reports the first match.
I have this list of companies (about 50) in one work sheet. If a certain company has sales or costs it will appear under the company name, as either Products, Installation or Freight. It looks something like this:
Company Sales Costs
[Code]....
What formula should I use the find the installation that belongs to that certain company? And not all companies has a line that say installation.
If a number in cell M1 is also anywhere in column A (column A has unique numbers), then cell W1 (date) should equal the content of cell V (also date) in the row that that number appears in column A. If M1 is blank (or there is no match in column A), then W1 should equal V1.
I have written a basic search which pastes the results on to another sheet.It works, but i have a small issue with it.If I search for "A" it will give me all the results for "A" but it will also give me any result with a combination with "A" in it, eg. BA or BBA etc I need to have results based on the exact search. What do I need to do to make my search result and exact result?
This is currently what i have
Sub Rating() ' ' Rating Macro ' Dim Wrd As String[code]......
I've got 2 sheets. Sheet 1 is where I am inputting all the products I'm producing and giving them serial numbers, if I produce the same part twice the name of the part is the same but the serial number changes. It looks something like this...
Sheet 1:
A B C
1 Part Produced Serial Number
[code]....
While Sheet 1 is constantly been filled with the parts being made with their individual serial numbers. Sheet 2 is constantly being filled with the incoming orders, But only the A Column of Sheet 2 is being changed... as an order comes in I simply type into sheet 2 what product the customer is looking for.
The problem I am having is that as I write in that another "handle" for example as been ordered into sheet 2, my normal MATCH forumla is bringing up the same Serial Number "1001" over and over again. Really I'm wanting the "B" column to update to the next available serial number, so for example "1002"
Sheet 2... as it's coming out right now (wrong)...
A B
1 Part Ordered By Customer Serial Number
2 Handle 1001
[code]....
The formula will need to go into Sheet 2 'B' Column, and I'd like it to come out looking like this...
I have a Vlookup which I want to modify so that it can become dynamic as the table array part of the vlookup will change.
So the basic vlookup is as follows: =VLOOKUP($R$3,ATTRIBUTION_FACTSET!$M$60:$P$73,2,0) but the data I am looking for wont always be in the range M60:P73.
So I tried to make it dynamic by doing the following: =VLOOKUP($R$3,INDIRECT("ATTRIBUTION_FACTSET"&"!M"&U1&":P"&V1),2,FALSE) The idea being that U1 and V1 would be numbers that can change so in this case U1 would equal 60 and V1 would equal 73
This vlookup is giving me #N/A and no matter how I modify it I cannot get it to work.
I want to delete a row in a spreadsheet by finding the row that contains a particular value. I use MATCH on spreadsheet #1 to identify the row number on spreadsheet #2 to delete. I need the macro to select the row number on spreadsheet #2 and delete it.
I don't know the syntax for the commands in VBA to write this and I'm coming to this forum for help because I'm too lazy to learn VBA. I've recorded macros to add rows, populate cells, hide sheets, etc. The following code is extracted from a macro I recorded to try to get started, and was hoping to be able to substitue a reference to sheet1 within the parentheses at
Rows("4:4").Select
but I can't make this work. The following is the code I was trying to adapt.
Sheets("Sheet2").Select Rows("4:4").Select Selection.Delete Shift:=xlUp End Sub
I have a number (22.3) in a cell that is there from an Hlookup function. I am then using a vlookup to lookup the 22.3 (from the hlookup) in a column. The number is in the column, but the vlookup function cant find it. If I were to type over my hlookup formula so that I am hand-typing in "22.3" instead of it being their from the hlookup, then the vlookup works just fine. I hope that is not too confusing. I dont understand what is going on. I checked to make sure none of my cells are rounding and therefore creating a look-alike number when it really isn't and that is not the case.
I have a table as follows: [URL] - note: cells containing times and temperatures are numeric values, I've used custom formatting to add " mins" and "°C" on the end
In one cell, a user can input a time period (in mins), and in another cell, I would like to output the start and end columns (in letter/s) for the chosen time.
For example, in the link above, if the value inputted '30' then the start column is 'C' and the end column is 'G'. If the user had inputted '60', then the results would be 'H' and 'K', etc.
I am able to find the start column with the following equation: =SUBSTITUTE(ADDRESS(1,MATCH(VALUE,C2:P2,0)+2,4),"1","")
I am struggling, however, to find the end column for the chosen time.
If each time had the same number of temperatures then it would be a simple case of adding the number of temperatures per time, minus 1, after the "+2".
My first idea was to copy the above function, but to change the "0" in the MATCH function to "-1", in order to find the next greatest time value. However, it appears that using "-1" in the MATCH function only works if the range is in descending order - my times are always in ascending order.
I have a further problem in that the time periods are not always the same values (i.e. it won't always be 30-60-90-120, it could for example be 30-45-60-75). So as far as I know, there is no way in advance of knowing the next time period up (and then subsequently taking one column to the left).
One possible workaround I have considered involves the following: - Add a new row between rows 2 and 3, which has the time values in each cell (i.e. from column C, values of 30-30-30-30-30-60-60-60-60-90-90-90-120-120) - effectively duplicating the time row, but not merging cells - Use the COUNTIF function to find the number of cells in that row containing the chosen time - Add this value, minus 1, after the "+2" in the above formula, i.e. =SUBSTITUTE(ADDRESS(1,MATCH(VALUE,C2:P2,0)+2+COUNTIF(C3:P3,"="&VALUE")-1,4),"1","")
I have a Workbook with 18 "sheets and a recap sheet. Each sheet will have a different number of rows between A9 and N60. On my recap sheet I want to be able to find what the last row with data in Column A and then be able to do a vlookup on that row to display the data in Column 2,3,4, exc. I know how to do the vlookup's fine but I don't know how to specify to select the last row. The data will always be different and the number of rows will never be the same either.
I tried the below formula because everyone complains that if you use True is returns the last row but that didn't work.
=VLOOKUP(A2,Sheet_2!$A$9:Sheet_2!$N$60,2,TRUE)
Is there a way to do this without VB, I don't understand VB at all and that would get way over my head really quickly.
I am getting #N/A errors even when I have an apparently exact match in my table array to the lookup value. I know that excel requires the formats to be exactly the same and I can force the match if I copy the lookup value from my table array and paste it into the worksheet. Is there an easy way to "fix" my table array. The table array is a reference worksheet I have created which has worked in the past.
I am currently having real problem using the formula below:
=INDEX(Data!C:C,MATCH(B7,Data!A:A))
What i am trying to do with this formula is return the cell address of an item that is in a different sheet.
The reference the for search is in Cell B7 which is a date, it then looks at a different sheet "Data" for this date which is in Column A. It then returns the Cell Reference of Column C of the same row.
Currently it is just returning the value of column C and not the cell reference.
I haven't had issues with vlookup on other worksheets, but this one is giving me trouble. I have attached the excel file for your consideration.
The lookup value is in cell U2, formatted as a date The table array is V2:Z19 The column index number is 2 for C3 False lookup
I've tried the formula with and without the text function for the date and I've also tried different formats for the dates in columns V to Z because I know the format of the cells have to match for vlookup. It is very frustrating because this should be simple, but it is messing up.
I currently have a table with a range of headings (row & column), and the necessary data for it. On a new worksheet, I have a table with only a few of the headings, and I was wondering if there was a macro that would automaticlly match the headings of the new sheet with the other table, and fill in the ncessary dat, as on the other sheet.
