DGET Setup - Pull Coordinate Pairs From A List And Match To A Label Based On Certain Criteria
May 15, 2013
I'm trying to use DGET to pull coordinate pairs from a list and match them up to a label based on certain criteria. I can't seem to get it to work. I'm also thinking that the way I have it set up, the coordinate pairs might not stay together and that has to be the case. My criteria is multiple cell based too and I don't think DGET can handle that.
For example, In order for a coordinate pair to be labeled "B" the x coordinate must satisfy a condition and the y coordinate must satisfy a different condition. Can I use DGET with the AND function?
I have 32 pairs of coordinates (X,Y). If I graph them using a scatter chart in Excel, I can see that it looks like they suggest a linear relationship between the points.
Other than printing the chart and trying to draw a "best fit" line manually, is there some sort of way I can get Excel to come up with the "best" linear formula (y=mx+b format)?
I am setting up a spreadsheet to be able to calculate loads on spread footings. The thing is the footings may be as small as a 2 x 2 or as large as a 6 x 6 or any combination inbetween so I need a coordinate system (to the nearest inch with a max of 1800 inches) to be able to assign each spread footing to a certain spot in the system with which I can calculate the soil stresses.
I intend to make this as idiot proof as possible for anyone who uses this spreadsheet so I was going to set it up as in the attachment where a user can input each individual load on each footing and the distance between it and its neighbors. The numbers are just random values with in each footing and feet between each one. Naturally most people would probably begin data entry in the upper left footing first so I was going to make that the origin unless for coding purposes the lower left would be best.
In this case the upper left footing would be 0,0 and the footing to its right 20,0 and the one farther right 55,0 (20+35) and so forth.
I'm trying to fix a report that I created but can't seem to figure out a way to display the information for a single student.
I've attached a mock report up so that maybe it would make more sense.
So the first tab, 'DIR', I managed to find a way to pull up only the information for a single student that was selected in the drop-down D1 cell. For that I used a simple INDEX/MATCH combo. The student's name would only appear once in the 'Paste DIR' tab, so it was fairly simple to create these formulas.
Now for the 'Paste Outreach' tab, a student appears multiple times in the chunk of information. Right now, the way that I have the report is so that it would just pull the information from each row, regardless of the student. What I would like to do is find a formula similar to INDEX/MATCH, but find every instance when the criteria is met for the INDEX/MATCH. I would like to be able to log each instance a student has an Outreach log entered. Then if I switch the student selected in D1 of the DIR tab, then it would only populate their Outreach Logs.
So if Student Name & Outreach # matches D1 ('DIR' tab) & "90" in "Paste Outreach, then pull row info into rows 7-11 in Outreach. Find the next instance Name & # matches, and pull that into rows 12-16, etc.
So I've got a vertical list of dates in M/D/YYYY format, and I'm trying to come up with a method to pull certain dates that are greater than a given benchmark and paste those values in another column. For instance, if I've got a list with 3/3/2008, 5/5/2010, 6/6/2011, and 7/7/2012 I want to pull only the dates beyond 12/31/2010 (so would be the 6/6 and 7/7 ones).
I'm assuming this isn't doable with one formula, so I would need a macro. But I'm having trouble just even coming up with the logical operator for just one date. I must be doing something wrong here. If my date in B2 is 1/1/2009 and I have a formula as IF(B2>12/31/2009,"True","False"), I just get TRUE, which shouldn't be the case.
i have a sheet that i have been creating to pull information based on two things. The criteria is an emplyee # and the second is a date.
The data needs to be organized onto Sheet4. The Employee # will already be on Sheet4, so i have been trying to use that with Vlookup / hlookup with no success as i can't seem to get it to find the correct Date and place the data correctly.
Sheet4 layout: Completed (with respective data from Sheet2)
A B C D E
1
[code]....
the data is located in Sheet2 (Emplyoee # is always in Column A, and the Date is always in Column B).
the data needs to be pulled into Sheet4. Essentially making the horizontal data of Sheet2, Vertical on Sheet4 under the respective date column.
On another sheet (I left the sheet names out of the formula to make it easier to read) with C2 as the matching Col F value and it will return the most recent date, May 19th, not the most recent date with a value in Col K, May 18th. The report itself is thousand of lines long and has a couple hundred unique values for Col F.
Is there a way to provide filter with a list of criteria but when it doesnt match all of the criteria it still uses the filter on the criteria that it does match?
However sometimes for example B will be missing, or H or B H I will be missing etc... is there a way to provide all of the criteria and it will not error if the criteria is not all there?
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?
I have a spreadsheet with 14, or maybe 16, or maybe 40 names in column B.
A1 = 1 B1 = JOE CITIZEN A2 = 2 B2 = JANE PERSON ... A17 = 3 B17 = JACK DOE
and so on...
I want to randomly assign these names to pairs using a macro button, and basing it on the number of players (C1)
So if C1 is 12, I'd like the function behind the macro button to come up with 6 * 2 numbers (2 and 11, or 4 and 7,
all completely random, but within the 12 specified in C1) and write these random values in Range D1:E6 (if C1 is 18, then the range to write in would expand to D1:E9).
I don't know enough about writing code to be able to pull this off .
We use a program at work to check items out to individual people but sometimes an item is missed and it takes forever to manually look for who it is. In the attached example, (keep in mind there might be more than 100 people on this list...this is just two people), the first 2 items are a pair (radio and radio case) and the second 2 items are a pair (laptop and laptop case).
Id like a way (condition formatting) to flag a person who has one item from the pair checked out and not the other. (Ive manually highlighted one person who only has one of the paired items...id like this to happen automatically)
EDIT:: If the first person were missing the radio in this example, his name would be highlighted on the line with the matching pair...cell D1 (radio case)
Other information:
Radios will always be RFAMRC*** Radio cases will always be RFAMF****
Laptops will always be RFAMTD*** Laptop cases will always be RFAMTE***
I have been working on a project with 30 products and 20 different companies.
I am working on a business case, where there are launch dates for various companies with expected sales, contribution margin, NPV etc.
The idea is that I can create specific scenarios (What is Company1 doesn't launch the products, etc), and there is an accompanying each company. Because it can be difficult to see what products are included in the current calculations, I would like to use some kind of function that produces a list that matches my criteria. (In this case, all cells for a company that are larger than 0).
I would like to find a function that finds all products that have a launch date and create a list of them -- without spaces between non-matched results. And that it updates whenever data is changed (new launch year or new product in company's profile)
I have included a generic excel file to show what I am going for.
So we had a month long, company paid (woohoo!) "weight watchers" challenge. On 1 worksheet ("Stats"), I have the Name of every Employee (A Column), then their Start Weight (B Column), End Weight (C Column), Department (D Column) and finally Location (E Column).
I know how sensative some people can be about their weight, so I locked the page and created another worksheet named "UI", which will display the "Average End Weight" for each department. So Human Resources would be the department in cell A2 on the UI sheet, with City 1 being the Column Header in cell B1. There are 8 cities (offices) and 23 departments.
So, for cell B2, I want to scan through the "Stats" worksheet and locate all of the cells in the department and location columns that read "Human Resources" and "City 1" respectively. Then grab the "End Weight" for every row that meets these 2 criteria, add them up, and divide by the number of "End Weights" that were grabbed.
My solution would be to make a separate column for each department (and then each city, so essentially 8 columns to represent all the cities for each department), use a nested (maybe 4) IF statements to then list only the end weight if that particular row meets the criteria, then at the bottom of each separate column, add all the shown numbers up and divide, then draw the information from THAT number into the "Average" cell on the UI worksheet. But it isn't very dynamic and if i want to use this sheet next year, there will be more employee info to be added and it would be a mess..further more, it would be...what...23 Departments x 8 Cities x 155 employees = ~28,500 added cells.
The function below should return the value in a cell IF the string in the cell two cells to the left of it is "Nemo" Omitting the part highlighted in blue, my function returns a list of unique values...but when it's included, nothing is returned at all. Perhaps, there is an error in the syntax that I'm overlooking?
Function listUnique(rng As Range) As Variant Dim row As Range Dim elements() As String
I have a spreadsheet that is updated weekly -- but every week new info is added that needs a user to input corresponding info. I use a vlookup function to link to another spreadsheet that populates the info from previous weeks and the info that is missing shows up as #N/A...
First I was using a msgbox function to get the info:
HTML Code:
For Each b In myrange If Application.IsNA(b.Value) Then Employee = b.Offset(0, -2).Value SSID = InputBox("Please enter ID# for " & Employee & " :", "New Employee Found") b.Value = SSID End If Next b
But it can be up to 30 different new employees... and that is time consuming.
I would like to make it more user friendly by creating ONE userform that displays all of the employees as labels -- has a text box in which to put the ID # -- and then has a drop down box to choose the type of employee (2 options). I want all of that info to go back to the reference spreadsheet so it will be saved for following weeks, and then redo the vlookup to get the info into the new weekly spreadsheet (I can do that part)....
HTML Code:
Private Sub CloseButton_Click() Unload UserForm1 End Sub
I have a sheet of pump test results, placed in rows, where the test rig is set at a specific speeds and flow and it records pressure. At each stage of the test a number of snapshots will be taken (Usually between 3-5 at each stage), so I have 3-5 rows of very similar data. I only need to use the best row from the selection available, so I am hoping to find a formula or code (Don't care which) that can look at the results and select the row of readings where the speed AND the flow are closest to the targetted data.
For example: In cells G6:G8 I have flow result values 0.129, 0.151, 0.156 and in H6:H8 I have speed result values 72.536, 71.82, 72.13. These are actuals. In cell N6 I have the target speed (75) and in O6 I have flow target (0.15), but these could be moved anywhere to suit really. What I was hoping to do, but am struggling big time, was to just flag up the row of readings where these two values are closest to the targets by placing a check mark in column L:L which I have formatted in monotype sorts and would like to place a "4" (Which gives me a check mark) on the 'best' row. From that I can do more with some simple IF statements.
Is this feasible, or am I trying to do something beyond Excels capability, it is certainly beyond mine at the moment. I was looking at the check mark method, but that is not essential, so if anyone has any suggestions on an alternative means of identifying the best row of data, that might make it easier to do, then I am listening.
I have created a table that has working hours of staff members over many weeks. Week number as column headings (1 to 52) and staff name as Row headings. E.g a row may be
John Smith, 37, 37, 37, 37, 64 (commas to show seperate cells)
How would I go about using conditional formatting so that the formatting changes according to the sum of the values in each pair of cells?
I need to add the total hours of every two weeks for some staff and change the fill colour of both cells accordingly to highlight which weeks staff have worked too many/few hours.
So (B1+C1) would be a pair, the total would decide which fill colour is used on both B1 and C1, and then (D1+E1) would be the next pair and so on.
I have tried using 'a formula to determine which cells to format' and placing =(B1 + C1) = 74 and making it fill the cells green but this appears to be doing (B1+C1) as the first pair and then (C1+D1) as the second and changing the format for the first cell only.
I would like to ask how can I get to work the index match function (if there's any formula other than this current function its fine) if i have a start date and end date as range date then another criteria for name to get my desired result. im having a hard time to explain so i attached a workbook so you can around it.
I found a formula and tweaked it but still cant get to work.
I have a spreadsheet that contains data for a fiscal year broken out by month and quarter. I want the formula to return the data from that month and use whatever the latest quarter is. For example in the data below:
If it has only pulled data only thru Q1 it would return Q1 for Jan-Mar, however once I have Q2 data I would want the formula to return Q2 for the months of Jan-Mar.

There are many columns in Sheet1 and more will be added for titles of the columns remains unchanged. One of the Col. in Sheet1 is 'Part Number'. Part Numbers are defined as 'Configurations', and each Configurations has additional parts and peices which are broken down in Sheet2. Back in Sheet1, I also have a Col. for QTY. So, if Sheeet1 has a part number that matches in Sheet2, then I would like Excel to copy all 'parts and pieces' and QTY from Sheet2 to Sheet1. Please make sure that I want the QTY to be multiplied if applies. Please see below for an example:
What I'm after is a sheet that self generates the day of the week in column A and the day of the month in column B. I have a month long sheet where daily entries get made in the DOW row, the day of the month is a reference. I have a macro to generate a new sheet for the next month and would like to auto populate the DOW and DOM. This typically gets done on the second day of the month (data from the first day is entered on the second)
I've setup a list of names that is populated from a userform, this works OK. I have then tried to use a combobox (on a separate form) to use these names as its values, I first used the rowsource property but this only returned the first name in the list and after searching for the last few hours and trying different methods it's still not working.
Here's what I have;
To populate the list;
Dim irow As Long Dim ws As Worksheet Set ws = Worksheets("Clients") 'find first row in database irow = ws.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Row With ws .Range("A" & irow) = txtNewClient.Value
I have also tried the userform_initialize, with no joy either,
I am trying to run an array formula to match two dates on two seperate sheets as close together based on another cell. Below is what I currently have on some made up values. I am entering it as an array and ideally I would like it to run down the cells changing the reference A2 depending on which cell it is then to then enter this into a macro.
I've got 3 pairs of columns and I need to sort through them and align the cells in columns E&F with those in A&B and C&D. The cells I need to match up are the times (columns A, C and E)
I am trying to setup a number of cells with a validation list allowing "Yes" or "". I would like the cell value to equal 1 when "Yes" is selected. Is this possible without VBA?
The reason for this is because I want to set up conditional formatting with the tick, cross, exclamation mark icon set (With a tick appearing for "Yes"), but this conditional formatting only works with numerical values.
