I think I need some version of a lookup for match function. Here is essentially what I need: I have a column of data points. I need to output every position at which the data point changes to a different value (going from top to bottom). See below for an example.
Here is some sample data (with column headers)
Position
Data Pt
1
-7.5
2
-8.0
[Code] .......
Here is the result I need (I want to put a consistent formula into the second column below that returns the results shown in the second column below):
split 1 position
2
split 2 position
4
[Code] ........
Is what I am describing possible? Because I am inserting this into a template, I ideally need to do this outside of any sort of VBA work.
I am using Excel 2010 and need to create something like a histogram that will have large regions of null values. In other words, my histogram might look like this...
x x x x x x x __x_________x___________x______ 100 250 420
[My laboriously drawn histogram does not display correctly. It is supposed to have 3 x's above 100, 2 x's above 250, and 5 x's above 420]
I have data in the form of: Value Prob. 100 30% 250 20% 420 50%
I have Excel giving me a histogram that looks like this... x x x x xxx xxx [This histogram also didn't turn out. Again, it is supposed to be 3 vertical x's, 2 vertical x's, and 5 vertical x's]
What I have tried to do is to create a list based on the lowest and highest numbers (e.g., 100 and 420) and split that into equal increments. I then intended to use a VLOOKUP or something to pull back the probability associated with the number in my list nearest the data value I have.
I couldn't get VLOOKUP to work correctly, so was happy when I found the following thread on Ozgrid. [URL]
However, in each of the solutions listed in that thread, I get faulty results. I am attaching a file that shows the errors and what I am trying to get : Example.xlsx
Perhaps there is some easier way to do what I am attempting to do. This architecture makes sense to me, but sometimes the perfect solution doesn't make sense until I see it...
I'm using Excel 2010. I have three columns. Column A contains the date, Column B contains the time, and Column C contains the date and time. Column C is the result of a formula, which adds Columns A and B (ie. =A2+B2). So I have the following...
Date Time Date and Time
1/15/13 9:00:00 AM 1/15/13 9:00:00 AM
1/15/13 9:00:05 AM 1/15/13 9:00:05 AM
[Code] ....
I'm using a defined name to store a date and time, which I'm going to use as a lookup value in a Match function. I've defined MyVal as follows...
1/15/13 9:00:20 AM
Excel automatically converts this to the following decimal number...
=41289.3752314815
When I first run either of the following two macros, they correctly return 5...
Code: Sub test1() Dim x As Double x = [MyVal]
Debug.Print Application.Match(x, Range("C2:C10"), 0) End Sub
Sub test2() Dim x As Date
x = [MyVal] Debug.Print Application.Match(CDbl(x), Range("C2:C10"), 0) End Sub
However, when I save and close the workbook, and then re-open it, these macros both return an error. Is this some sort of bug in Excel?
My objective is to pull specific values from an external file corresponding to the correct name and year of my choosing. The first way I thought would be best is to use an INDEX/MATCH function. The problem is the external files change names so I would need a method to easily change the source file name from one cell. I then stumbled across the INDIRECT function, but the INDIRECT function will only work when the source file is also opened. I then came across Harlan Grove's pull function which allows you to import data from closed excel files.
So, this is what my formula looks like: =INDEX(pull("'"&G12&"");MATCH(C15;pull("'"&G14&"");0);MATCH(D15;pull("'"&G16&"");0))
Cells G12,G14, and G16 contain the file paths for the ranges. C15 is name and D15 is year.
The problem I have though is that when I try to execute the function, Excel gets stuck. if the code cannot handle large amounts of data. I tested the code with a simple SUM function for a small range from an external file and it worked just fine.
I have a workbook with 2 different types of sheet - 1 containing source data and the others 'collecting' data from the source sheet, depending on what the sheet is for.
For example, the data source contains different pets, their names, ages and their owners.
The other sheets are on a one-per-owner basis.
What I would like to do is use a LOOKUP / MATCH function to lookup the owner name typed in cell A1 of the output sheet and match it with the corresponding owner name(s) on the source sheet. I would then like it to return with each pet and append the results on the sheet accordingly - like below:
John Smith (in cell A1)
Pet - Name - Age ------------------- Dog - Rover - 3 Goldfish - Tom - 1 Gerbil - Chewit - 4
Data for once source Column A shipping container numbers (alpha & numerical) Column B the container size code Column C relevant date of arrival
Data from another source Column D shipping container numbers (alpha & numerical) Column E the container size code Column F relevant date of shipment
What I want is: If Column A containers match with Column B containers Then in Column G the containers that matched and Column H the container size code Column I the date of arrival Column J the date of shipment
Vlookup seem to be an answer, but can’t get it to work. I am not good in VB, so may be formulas would be better Named range and IF & Match FORMULA may be?!! The list will be approximately 20,000 numbers long. Have attached the sample file.
I have an "actual build" worksheet, which allows the user to select which materials were used, material properties (e.g. material grade etc.), including its corresponding length. The user can enter all these in manually, or select the material name from a pre-defined list (Reference worksheet contains this information), and then the associated properties are automatic lookups from the Reference worksheet.
So all this is fine / completed, and the LOOKUP returns its theoretical length from the reference table. However, its actual material lengths will almost never match the theoretical length, so what I want to happen is for a conditional format to highlight the cell, to notify the user that they need to enter a manual value. The auto-looked up length is still useful a proposed build on the worksheet, but having it highlighted to ensure it is manually entered later is the objective.
The other thing is it can't just check if it's a formula, it has to check if it is a formula with a MATCH/LOOKUP function. E.g. it needs to be unhighlighted if someone has a basic formula, ie = 2*0.42 if there two of the item etc..
Hence, I was thinking of having a conditional formula that "format only cells that contain" and then format only cells with "specific text" and "containing" and "MATCH(" text function, however this doesn't seem to work.
I'm having trouble using the worksheet copy command in a VBA subroutine. I have the following line in my code:
[Code] ........
When I step through my code and execute this line, the sheet is copied as expected and put in the correct place, but then instead of the next line of code being highlighted, the pointer jumps to the first line of a function (in a different module) in my code.
b2,b3 Formula = Indirect(Address(match(a2,????,0),1,1,1,"Data"))
i dont know what is the correct range inside the match fuction to identiy the row number inside the Data sheet, i think the solution would be match(a2,Data!a2:a13,0) but things might get complicated if you have multiple worksheet such as sheet2: Data , sheet3: Data2, sheet3: Data 3
and each table has unsorted details compared to others sheets (Data vs Data 2)
On my "Order" sheet, I enter an account no. that looks up the company name, address, etc on my "Accounts" sheet. Below the address info on the "Accounts" sheet is a list of the salespersons with their email address.
After entering the account no., I want to enter the salespersons name and automatically look up their email address. I can make the lookup function work if I tell the formula which column the salesperson is located in, but am lost how to write the formula to locate the salesperson based upon the column no. that contains their company info.
F1 - contains the account no. entered on the order sheet.
Accounts!A1:Z100 - range containing columns of account info.
ORDER!G9 - This is the row number value I obtained by using a match function to lookup the Salespersons name entered in cell F8, then I add 1 to render the value of the row that contains the email address located directly below the salespersons name.
=(MATCH(F8,ACCOUNTS!B1:B100,FALSE)+1)
Herein lies my issue, the salesperson name will not always be in Column B
I can write another Match to obtain the column no, but then I am using another cell to hold a calculated value for my lookup statement.

I need to return a value dependent on a few criteria. Type will be selected via a drop down and then it must lookup the same type in the top row and then the value which will be between two values and then return the grade on the far left.
I have a victim of the Index-Match duplication problem in Excel (2010). Basically, I have three columns of data, all daily input for the year.
Column 1 = Date Column 2 = Actual (Units Sold) Column 3 = Scheduled (Units Sold)
The Date is filled out through the end of the year as is the Scheduled values. The Actual values are filled out daily.
I need to generate a summary box that reports Actual, Scheduled, and Variance (Actual - Scheduled) for the time periods Daily, Month to Date, and YTD.
My problem is that when I try to return the Schedule value that corresponds with the date of the last entry, I don't know if I am pulling the correct Schedule value since I do not know if the Actual value (that is pulled from the last value in the Actual column) is unique. So I tried using an Index-Match formula to return the latest value (that is the last record occurrence of the value) to my function in order to retrieve the correct Schedule value, but, sadly, it did not work.
I by no means am an Excel expert like many of you, so I may have some questions along the way.
I've attached a sample extraction from my worksheet and included an example of the Summary panel I'm creating.
The context of this problem is that I am pulling sales data from different outlets to analyse monthly sales. The data from the various outlets are in various formats and the products, even though they are the same throughout all the stores, are named differently. For example, Mushroom Soup can be named as "Soup Mushroom", "Mushroom Soup" or "Cream of Mushroom". This makes analysis really tough.
I first created a table with a list (K6:P6) that had the varying names of the products. This is shown as the first table with 3 rows.
Then I tried to match this list to a range of products sold by an outlet e.g. Electric. (shown in the next bigger table $D$10:$D$254, ) Next, I used Index to call up and display the sales of that product next to table with list A ($G$10:$G$254)
This works for some entries but not for all. I get mostly #NA answers even though I do ctrl-shift-enter. Also, the bigger table is in a separate file and I am using excel 2010.
We have a business system which has some very disjointed reporting. To fix this I have multiple extracts that are then combined into a single report. I then add Year & Period from a lookup of a date in a particular field. Unfortunately most values are returned as #N/A but if I manually go into the sheet and select an offending cell and click then magically the formula then corrects itself.
So I thought I would be clever and use Sendkeys {F2} as part of my code. Unfortunately this is a bit hit & miss as it works on some but not on others. Also the Sendkeys piece repeats itself leaving my frontsheet a 1000 rows from the start. This is easily fixed by selecting cell A1as the last step.
My question is there methods in VBA by not using sendkeys that will achieve the same result and is consistent. I am using Excel 2010.
Code: Sub Add_Calendar() Dim cell As Object, c As Range
'setup for calendar data population ' Range("H1") = "Created Date" Range("N1") = "Year" Range("O1") = "Period" 'copy the format
Whatever formula I try is returning an error of #N/A
I have two worksheets the first with transport data - customer,collection point, delivery point, haulier and number of pallets - all this information is in columns; the second sheet with the rates show haulier, customer, validity, delivery point in columns and then pallet numbers run across a row with rates tying in underneath. i have simplified this below.
I am just trying to reference all the data and work out what the cost for the variables would be in the example the cell i'm trying to find is H8 (320) -
I have already tried the following and several modified versions: =INDEX('RATE LOOKUPS'!$E$6:$I$9,MATCH(1,('MASTER DATA'!A:A='RATE LOOKUPS'!C:C)*('MASTER DATA'!B:B='RATE LOOKUPS'!B:B)*('MASTER DATA'!C:C='RATE LOOKUPS'!D:D)*('MASTER DATA'!D:D='RATE LOOKUPS'!A:A)*('MASTER DATA'!E:E='RATE LOOKUPS'!E5:I5),0))
I am currently using the below formula to add values (D6:D225 on sheets Mon, Tue, ...) given the criteria is met in any cells within the two columns across the five sheets (E6:E225 & N6:N225 on sheets Mon, Tue, ...).
When the references to the columns do not randomly change themselves to #REF! it works fine however, it does this often, forcing my to rewrite the formula.
**Why does it do that and is there a way to stop it?
Also, when I do have to rewrite I am forced to do each cell individually to change the number within the quotes. I have tried to use a cell reference there but when I do Excel just gives me a "0" as if there is no data to be retrieved.
I am using Excel 2010 on a company computer with the macros blocked so no VBA.
I have Excel 2010 & Window 7. I have 2 sheets of business names, some businesses in sheet 1 may be named slightly different in sheet 2 and not all businesses in sheet 1 are included in sheet 2. I would like to be able to find the closest match (from sheet 2) for the businesses on sheet 1 and return the closest matched business name.
Rows 1 and 2 (range: A1:CM2) within Spreadsheet X contain the range of data that I need.
Within Spreadsheet Y, Row 6 will change monthly and will be input by the user. The value in Row 6 equals the data in Row 2 in worksheet X.
I need to put a formula in row 4 of spreadsheet Y that returns the value of Row 1 in Spreadsheet X.
Unfortunately, I cannot change the spreadsheet layout, otherwise I could do an HLOOKUP formula using Spreadsheet Y Row 6 and Spreadsheet X Row 2 and be done with it. I assume that I need to use an Index-Match formula, which I am not as familiar with. In addition, all of the online support I have found explains Index-Match with data in columns, not rows.
Excel 2007-2010. I'm using match(string, range,0) but there must be a limitation on the length of the string since I know the string is in the range but it returns #value as if it is not found. Is there a VBA solution to get around this without having to loop/cycle through the entire range?
I have a schedule that covers 3 shifts for the entire month. I have another sheet that is used for crew sign in that I want to auto populate with all the people on that shift for that day.
I need to be able to use 2 different cells on the sign in sheet for reference for the formula (one for the day, and the other for the shift. ex. Day 3rd, shift D). I'm wanting to use an array formula to accomplish this. I've uploaded a stripped schedule as this is for the military and can't have any data on it that pertains to what or who it's for.
BTW our current method is to due it manually for every shift for every day that wastes about 12-16 man hours every week. I have excel 2010 at work currently. Access is out of the question and Macro's/vba may or may not work as security is always being increased on our systems so either a single or multiple formula is the route I'm looking to do that will work the the next few years I hope.
Using Excel 2010, I am trying to create a macro to insert INDEX and MATCH formulas on a sheet that reference Tables on the same sheet.
The formula works fine when entered in a cell where I can point to the Table. Now I need to put the formula in a macro where it will automatically reference the first Table on the sheet.
The original file has multiple sheets and multiple Tables on each sheet. No naming convension was used in naming the sheets or Tables.
Can I cycle through all the Tables on a sheet and rename each of them? For example, find the first Table on the sheet closest to cell A1 and rename it Table 1, find the next Table and rename it Table 2, etc.
Is there a way to reference Tables based on an index (similar to sheets)? Is there a Table(1) and Table(2) referencing system? Is it on a per sheet basis or across the entire workbook? That is, can there be more than one Table(1) in a file?
Can I start in cell A1 and find the first instance of a Table and return the name or index of that Table?
I have sheet 1 that in cells V5:V20 is a data validation drop down box. In cells W5:W20 I have another data validation drop down box. On sheet 2 I have a table that in column A matches the data in the drop down box's in column V on sheet 1. Row 1 on sheet 2 data matches the data in the drop down boxes in sheet 1 cells W5:W20. What I'd like to do is on sheet 1 Cells Y5:Y20 have a VBA code to lookup the data in columns V and W from sheet 2 and return the value.
ColA and ColB contains a standard information which is supossed to be my reference. ColC contains my queries for which I need information about their place in ColD.
So I need to match ColC with ColA, so as to retrieve the matched data (between ColC and ColA) from ColB to ColD. Following is the way I expect my result to be..

"=INDEX($B$2:$B$6,MATCH($C2,$A$2:$A$6,0))",
Which when tried, surely worked a few months back. I am now using excel 2010. I tried the same again, but this time it does not work for me. Is there something else to do which has been changed in the new excel 2010 ?
I would like to ask the user if when the name the worksheet the same as an already existing spreadsheet tabe if they would like to overwrite it or unload the user form.
I am not sure of two things:
1. how to find the already existing tab?
2. Once I find out how do I programatically delete it, so the code can continue
The code below works with the exception of the last section (trying to achieve the questions stated above).

I'm trying to create a excel sheet which will automatically return a price based on a given width and drop value. Currently, I calculate the price manually by looking in a price book which has plenty of rows and columns and prices. I want to simplify this by simply entering the dimensions so it automatically calculates price based on the dimensions entered.
Below is the start of my worksheet. If I choose the exact sizes shown on the table, it will return a price, however if I choose a size that is not listed, I get an #N/A. Eg. If I choose 780 x 1500, it will return the price $179, but if I choose for instance 775 x 1490, it only returns #N/A, when I want it to still return the price $179.
My formula in K3 is =IF(AND($I$3>0,$J$3>0),INDEX($A$3:$F$8,MATCh(J3,$A$3:$A$8,0),MATCH(I3,$A$3:$F$3,0)))
I have two spreadsheets, one with master file with original data and one that needs to pull in the original data. My issue is all the data to match off of is in the same column, and a number of other files link to the master file, plus it is used externally, so I cannot alter it, and I would rather not create a mock/copy file. Is there a formula that can look for 2 different items within the same column? Would prefer not to use VBA, but if that's the only option I'll take it. I am using Excel 2003.
Here is an example of the setup - I would need the formula to reference off the two different items/categories in the column, so lookup off the 'St. Louis' and following that, lookup off the produce items.
The situation I have on my hands is over 200 users, were the majority can't use Excel's built in function to create PDF's. Yes, I've tried to teach them, but I'm probably not a good teacher.
So, I've resorted to create a button at the top of the worksheet, that says "Create PDF". I thought this was gonna be very easy to program, but alas.
Is there a way to start the built-in Excel dialog that happens when you click "Create PDF/XPS" in "Save & Send"?
Having problems with the code below on a 2010 Excel spreadsheet. The function flags me at first line and highlights Mid. I get a "compile error, cannot find project or library". I'm trying to set GetSheetName = m_sSheet but the GetSheetName function is not declared as returning any type.
Code: Function GetSheetName(ByVal m_sFormula As String) As String Dim m_sSheet As String
m_sSheet = Mid(m_sFormula, 2, InStr(m_sFormula, "!") - 2) If InStr(m_sSheet, "'") Then m_sSheet = Mid(m_sSheet, 2, Len(m_sSheet) - 2) End If GetSheetName = m_sSheet End Function
I have a file which has in excess of 12,000 rows of data in 5 columns (sample file attached with fake data). The five rows are:
"First Name" "Last Name" "Name" (uses CONCATENATE to combine column A & B) "Email" "Date Attended"
There will be duplications in the list as people will have attended more than once over the years. What I want to do is search through the email addresses (Column D with D1 being the header) and where there is a duplicate email address copy the cell to the right of the duplicate (F#) into the next available cell to the right of the first occurance and then delete the row with the duplicated email address.
