Dynamic Table_array Element In Vlookup
Jun 22, 2007
how to get the table_array element of vlookup to either obtain details from a worksheet cell, or to enclose a variable (specifically part of the filepath) within the table_array formula. I have a template that gets saved and used in various directories, and I want Vlookup to to dynamically lookup information from a specific file that is also contained within the directory, without having to find and replace the directory name in the vlookup formulas.

I'm looking up a value from another workbook. Simple enough in itself, but
heres the thing.
I'd like to write a dynamic vlookup that checks the value of another cell to
find the table array for it to look up from.
Basically I have a table of data, the column headers are dates. I have a
report that is run daily that I need to look up from. Rather than implicitly
referencing each sheet I'd like to tell the vlookup to check the date in the
column header and use that for the sheet. The range inside of the sheets is
always the same.

I'm trying to write a vlookup where both the lookup value and the table_array are variables. What I'm trying to do is get a set of dependent drop down boxes to serve as the input for vlookup. The first drop down box contains a list of named ranges and the second contains a list of possible search values. If I manually input the name the function works, but if I refer to it with a cell reference or the indirect funtion it fails. For example:

I am trying to sqaure every element in a dynamic array and display the result . I donot understand how can I select the value in the cell using VBA?
Dim Y as variant, d() as double, i as long, j as long, rows as double, cols as double
Set Y = Application.InputBox("select the matrix: ", Type:=8)
Rows = UBound(Y)
Cols = UBound(Y, 2)
ReDim d(1 To Rows, 1 To Cols)
for i = cols
d(1,i) = ______==>
How do I select the value of element in that particular cell and how do I sqaure it?
I know
cells(rowindex, columnindex)
is used to select a particular cell but If I have a large array it would be difficult to go cell by cell and sqaure it.

I have such a table:
A
01-Jun-12
B
02-Jun-12
C
02-Jun-12
[Code] ......
As you can see the letters repeat, and the dates are in order. Dates may repeat or be skipped.
I want to know how I retrieve the last date in the list that corresponds to a certain letter. For example, the last date that corresponds to "A" is 10-Jun-12. Similarly for "B", it is 11-Jun-12.
VLOOKUP will retrieve the first day.
In this case corresponding to "A":
=VLOOKUP("A",A2:B12,2,FALSE)
Is there any way I can retrieve the last day with a formula?

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 create dependent lists using data validation. The lists need to be created from ranges that will be growing as users add more data. I think the best way to create the list is a VLOOKUP. However, I am not sure how to use the VLOOKUP when the range is changing.
I have attached an example. I have a list on sheet "Vlookup" called "FRUIT" with "apple", "orange", "banana". Then to make the depedent lists I have created three other lists called: "APPLE", "ORANGE", "BANANA". I want to pull the COST from sheet "VALUES" into the lists "APPLE", "ORANGE", "BANANA". Users will be adding costs next to the FRUIT they purchase.

I'm trying to find a way to perform Vlookups against a dynamic range of data, where the number of rows/values in Col B is always subject to change.
The way that the workbook is structured is as follows:
Sheet1: Except for Cols A & B, this is a blank sheet. This is the sheet in which the vlookup values will need to fall into based on the number found in its' Column B
Sheet2: The sheet that contains the data that will be passed into Sheet1 via vlookup, and all of its Columns contain data.
So, basically, Sheet1 is a shell that needs to be filled with data copied over from Sheet2 based on vlookups against Col B.
The vlookups will need to be shifted back 1 column.
And examples of how the Vlookups need to work is:The value in Sheet2 [Col E], needs to get passed into Sheet1 [Col D]Along those lines:
The value in Sheet2 [Col F], needs to get passed into Sheet1 [Col E]
The value in Sheet2 [Col G], needs to get passed into Sheet1 [Col F]so on and so forth
So basically, all of the values passed into Sheet1 from Sheet2 need to be shifted back by 1 column until we reach the last Col (Col M in this file).
Where
The value in Sheet2 [Col M], needs to get passed into Sheet1 [Col L]
The number of columns will remain fixed, but again the number rows will vary week to week in both of the two sheets, so I would need to have a way of creating a Vlookup through VBA that accounts for the dynamic range in Col B.

The workbook I'm working on has several sheets: Totals, Monday, Tuesday, etc set into a SheetArray.
The problem is that I'm trying to perform a VLOOKUP on data in worksheet "Monday" against column A in worksheet "Totals". However, the size of column A will change as the codes iterates through the days. Therefore, I need the range of column A in the Totals worksheet to be dynamic.
Code:
'Find any new projects in the daily data that are not in the Totals.
DayProjCount = Range(Sheets(SheetArray(A)).Range("AA2"), Sheets(SheetArray(A)).Range("AA2").End(xlDown)).Cells.Count
ProjCell = 2
With Worksheets("Totals")
[Code].....
During this process, the code should only find 1 error in ValidProject. But, each are throwing errors. I think it's because the VLOOKUP isn't searching through the correct range, but I don't know how to check it.

I have a workbook with 100 worksheets. Each worksheet is setup the same way with dates down column A, and data in column B. In another sheet, I need to run a vlookup on the dates and data, but I need it to adjust for whatever spreadsheet name I give it. Is there any way to have the vlookup table array change as I change the worksheet it should reference?

I have this code which looks information in a table. The problem is that the table is getting every time bigger.
Here the code:
VB:
With Worksheets("Sheet10").Cells(9, 3).Resize(, LastColumnf - 2)
.Formula = "=IFERROR(CONCATENATE(VLOOKUP(Sheet10!C2,Sheet12!$A$10:$C$550,3,FALSE),""."",
VLOOKUP(Sheet10!C2,Sheet12!$A$10:$C$550,2,FALSE)),"""")"
.Value = .Value
End With
How can I write $A$10:LastNewRow... Another problem rises here, LastNewRow might end up being the oldLastNewRow, i think. But maybe since it is getting bigger, there is no problem, I don't know.
Instead of having a static reference like $C$550 I would like to have a dynamic one.

sample.xlsmI am trying to create a sheet with dynamic lookup based on selections.
So if a user selects planning or costing and then the state then click on search then it cell B13 it should lookup from data sheet and give full state name and in cell C13 give the document name and in D13 give the print rule.
If in the data sheet the document type says planning/costing and there is no corresponding state to that document then it should be incliuded in all searches.
When I click clear then it resets the search. So if i select Planning and state as AL then the display should be
Alabama ABC DEF
A12 AA1 (aligned to previous row)
C12 AA3 (aligned to previous row)
E12 AA5 (aligned to previous row)
Also is it a better option to do planning and costing as a radio button or drop down list. Is there a way in the state selections to show the drop down list arrow at all times. Currently when the cell is not selected it disappears.

I have the following issue I have a fixed value in column N this is vlooked up into a cell in the same row after a specific cell value (category):
Toilet
Category
X
Brush
Category
X
Handle
Category
X
Door
Category
X
Computer
Category
X
The table above shows that the initial column is fixed i.e Toilet, Brush etc however the X's are dynamic but they will always be placed after the word Category. I think a VBA solution is needed but I can't figure out how to do it.

I'm trying to create a dynamic Named Range using VLOOKUP in place of a sheet name. (Using Excel 2003 & Win XP Pro SP2).
To illustrate:-
Employees.xls contains employee's details on separate sheets for each department, e.g. Production, Admin, Sales, Personnel, etc. Each sheet is 12 cols. and 1 header row. Sheet 1 of this book contains a 2-column Master List of all employees and their departments. MyBook.xls has an employee's name in A1.
I can get his department by using =VLOOKUP(A1,MasterList,2,FALSE) and what I want to do is incorporate that into the following in place of 'Admin' so that the range will refer to the correct department for whoever's name is in A1.
=OFFSET('[Employees.xls]Admin'!$A$2,0,0,COUNTA('[Employees.xls]Admin'!$A:$A)-1,12).

I will receive one master file which contains the table and it's values and I have another working sheet where I will update the require details. Every time I will copy the entire master data into working file in order to extract the values by using vlookup function. note that the master file has different names each time. So, that if I use vlookup by taking master data path but not getting the results.
I am looking one macro code to select file (master data) and paste the values based on vlooup references in workings sheets. Note this master data file name may change but reference range always same.

I'm trying to pull information in one spreadsheet (SS1) from another spreadsheet (SS2). I've found that the following works, except when SS2 is closed. Is there a way to do the following formula so that it will work even if SS2 is closed?
=VLOOKUP(A19,A:H,MATCH("Column Header",OFFSET(1:1,MATCH("Row Header",A:A,0)-1,0),FALSE),FALSE)
Link A19 is the lookup value
"Column Header" is the column header we want to find
"Row Header" is the unique row header for the headers of the table
The Column Header could appear anywhere in Column A to H, and the Row Header can appear on any row in the spreadsheet!

I am trying to merge data from two worksheets onto a 3rd for a mail merge. The COLLECTIONS sheet contains the acct #, name and amount owed. The ADDRESSES sheet contains the acct #, name and all of the address information. The 3rd sheet is the MERGE sheet that I'm using as the reference point for my word document and the mail merge. Upon reflection the MERGE sheet is probably not necessary, but made sense to have it when I started out.
Never the less...
On the ADDRESSES sheet I am trying to name a dynamic range "AddressList" (I'm trying to go dynamic because the list of addresses will change from month to month). I am using the following formula in the refers to field when I name the range:
=Offset(Addresses!$A$5,0,0,CountA(Addresses!$A:$A),CountA(Addresses!$1:$1))
I think this is what is giving me my problem, because the named range does not show up in the list when I try to go to the named range.
Just in case that is not the problem, the #Ref is showing up when on the MERGE sheet I type a vlookup formula referencing the acct # on the ADDRESSES sheet. That formula looks like this:
=VLOOKUP(A4,AddressList,3,0)
which seems simple enough. Before trying to make the named range dynamic the formula worked fine, which is why I'm thinking the named range is what's giving me the problems.

I have an worksheet that I import a csv into, each day a new csv is added to the bottom of the previous csv data. I have some code that extracts the date and month # from the cell and places them in helper columns. The code find the last used cell in the helper column and the imported data column to find the first and last row of the new day.
This part works fine. However, I assigned a variable name to the first and last variables and would like to uses these row number to define a range in order to use the range for a vlookup or find operation. This is where I get stuck. I want to use column x and row (variable from first bit of code) to column y and row (variable from first bit of code). Then use a vlookup/find whatever works to find the text I need and get the data. Tips on looping the code would be welcome as well.
I have searched for answers to the problem, on the board and web, but have not found a solution that works for me. (at least that I could get to work!!)
Below is the code as I have it
Public Sub Enter_Date()
Dim DateA As Date
Dim DateB As Date
Dim Cnt As Integer
Dim End_of, Beg_of As Integer
Dim Count As Integer
Dim NumtoFill As Integer

I'm trying to do, I already have a macro that takes certain cells in sheets in a workbook and copies to them to individual workbooks that are open.
So for example, I have a workbook with sheets A, B, and C.
and then I have a macro that'll copy sheet A to an open workbook D and B to an open workbook E, and so on.
Problems I'm running into = if the workbook isn't open, it crashes, I'd like to have an if then statement where if workbook is not open, it stops?
Additionally, I'd like a for statement because there will be 10 or more sheets in total, so would be nice to have a for statement that changes the variables so For i = 1 to 10 where 1 would be D and 2 would be E and so on so it automatically changes the workbook names as necessary.

My main report (Report 1) has part number, serial number, and work order information, among other things I need. Report 2 contains this information as well, but also has a work order item number, which is needed in Report 1. Otherwise, Report 2 has nothing else of interest.
What functions will allow me to get the item number information I want from Report 2 into Report 1?
I have spent a lot of time trying various combinations of VLOOKUP, SUMPRODUCT, IF, etc with no luck. There is probably a very simple (I hope!) thing that I am overlooking.

I have a vlookup function which takes the data from a table in a closed file. A folder where the file would be located will change based on the value in the cell reference.
I used below formula which works, but every time when i drag or try to edit and enter, the path of the file path brokes and i need to reselect the path where the file is located. Is there a way where i can stop this?

I have the need to create a workbook that will return values based on the entering of an abbreviation. I will use the chemical elements as an example, I wish to have a column formatted so that if 'Au' is entered the cell populates with 'Gold' or if 'Pb' is entered then the cell is populated with 'Lead'
So in my case I have all the abbreviations in one column and all the full descriptions in another (approx 500 different codes/description)

I am trying to parse a section of html into excel but I don't know how to parse into a new row with each pattern rotation. I can do this both in Word and notepad++, but I can't find the same function of replace-with-line-break in excel's find-and-replace box.
Original html extract:
"shb":{"landline":"£1","mobile":"£1","text":"8p","mms":"24p"},"af":{"landline":"18p","mobile":"18p","text":"8p","mms":"24p"},"ak":{"landline":"3p","mobile":"3p","text":"8p","mms":"24p"},"al":{"landline":"10p","mobile":"25p","text":"8p","mms":"24p"},"dz":{"landline":"5p","mobile":"27p","text":"8p","mms":"24p"},
Results I need:
Capture.PNG
There is only one line as such in the entire page, so I don't need to loop through "blocks" of html codes with multiple lines.
I have had a look around and not sure what would be a good way to tackle this. RegEx (how to do it in excel macro)? HTML tags parsing (but these are not strictly tags)? I need to extract the correct section from page source as well, but I imagine this shouldn't be too hard. The url to the page I am extracting from is [URL] ........

I have a custom range I'll be copying from one sheet (a single entry registration form) that I'm adding to another (an "all entries" sheet) with a button assigned to a macro.
[Code].....
I then loop through the range, copying the cell from Sheet1 to Sheet2.
[Code]....
All works perfect, but I need to manipulate the data a little. If B3 from Sheet1 equals a certain string, I want to manipulate the data From Sheet1 B6 & B7 to paste into Sheet2 Column 1, otherwise paste B3 into Sheet2 Column1.
Again, my loop and everything works if I put B3 into Column1, B6 into Column2, and B7 into Column3, but it doesn't play well with the reporting I want to do later from this sheet.
Data Example
[Code]....
What I'm trying to do is
if B3 <> "NEW TEAM" then put B3 (Joe Smith on Sparkles) into the new sheet column1
if B3 = "NEW TEAM" then put "B6 on B7" (Jane Doe on Fluffy) into the new sheet in column1 (where B6 and B7 are the strings, obviously).
I haven't figured out how, in my loop, to access the data in (myCell + 1) and (myCell + 2) while I'm on the first cell (myCell). I could do it by jumping back to the Sheet1("B6") and Sheet1("B7") but I'm trying to write reusable code, and this range might change, so I'm trying to be a little more flexible than hard coding in more cells.

I have 9 named ranges on worksheet Sheet1. I want to print every combination of every non-singular range on worksheet Sheet2. Below is a simplified version of the scenario.
There are three named ranges: Letters, Colors, Animals. Say the below are the entries for each range.
Letters = {A, B, C}
Colors = {Red, Blue}
Animals = {Dog}I want to print every combination of Letters and Colors but exclude Animals since it only has 1 entry.
Therefore my result would look something like this:
A Red
B Red
C Red
A Blue
B Blue
C Blue
My thought is to make a multidimensional array GrandArray where GrandArray(1) = Letters and GrandArray(2) = Colors, then recursively go back through every combination and print to Sheet 2. I can set up GrandArray, but stepping through each element is creating mismatch errors.
I'm trying to avoid For loops since my real data has 9 ranges which may or may not be included in the final print.

My rows consist of the following cells, an author(s), an article name, a pubilcation name, a volume number, and a page number. There are thousands.
My first column has multiple names and need to separate the names into separate cells. Some names have a comma or semi-column separating them, some have the word "and" separating them. Most of the names are listed as last name, first name. (Some are not and I will have to deal wtih that later.)
Row 1:
Eisenhofer, Jay W., Jordan, Kirk S. Tucker, Marc B."Business Faces Harsh Sentencing Penalties",Delaware Business Review, October 7-13, 1991951
Row 2:
Embley, Craig M., Turezyn, Andrew J. and Welch, Edward P."Recent Developments in Delaware Corporate Law",S.A.S.M.& F., May, 19901443
I'm sure is a multiple part process. Is there a formula for placing anything separated by a comma into a new cell, or placing a tab between the names?
Ultimately this data will be placed in database from which to search for a name and article, etc.
