Excel 2010 :: Freezes When Using Pull Function In INDEX / MATCH
Feb 14, 2014
I am using Excel 2010.
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.
This is the code I am using:

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$254)
This works for some entries but not for all. I get mostly #NA answers even though I do ctrl-shift-enter. Also, the bigger table is in a separate file and I am using excel 2010.
=INDEX('[GON-JUN 2012.xls]gon-jun'!$G$10:$G$254,MATCH(K6:P6,'[GON-JUN 2012.xls]gon-jun'!$D$10:$D$254,0))

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.
Code:
=SUM(IFERROR(INDEX(Mon!$D$6:$D$225,MATCH("2000",Mon!$E$6:$E$225,0)),0),
IFERROR(INDEX(Mon!$D$6:$D$225,MATCH("2000",Mon!$N$6:$N$225,0)),0),
IFERROR(INDEX(Tue!$D$6:$D$225,MATCH("2000",Tue!$E$6:$E$225,0)),0),
IFERROR(INDEX(Tue!$D$6:$D$225,MATCH("2000",Tue!$N$6:$N$225,0)),0),
IFERROR(INDEX(Wed!$D$6:$D$225,MATCH("2000",Wed!$E$6:$E$225,0)),0),
IFERROR(INDEX(Wed!$D$6:$D$225,MATCH("2000",Wed!$N$6:$N$225,0)),0),

Using Excel 2010.
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.

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.
Here is an example of the formula:
Code:
=INDEX(Table1891034445678912822253536[#All],
MATCH($I35,Table1891034445678912822253536[L/I],0)+1,
MATCH(L$34,Table1891034445678912822253536[#Headers],0))
Just look at that Table name!!
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 an issue with the excel freeze in our organisation.
Our organisation works on Citrix and the office applications have been upgraded to 2010 very recently.We have both 2003 excel users and 2010 excel users.There is a user who has a problem working on excel 2010 the excel freezes.Excel 2010 works fine for some time and all at a sudden hangs,once its hung it freezes all the other applications.
The same file runs properly on the other 2010 systems.The Excel file which hangs are also not of huge in size.
I am unable to get to the rootcause of the issue why the excel freezes or hangs in the middle of the work getting to the root cause of the issue and an answer for the excel hanging.

I have an intensive VB program I've written that the user kicks off by clicking a button. I update a particular cell near the button with progress numbers so they can see what's going on. (This calculation can take up to 10 minutes.)
Sometimes, though, the UI stops updating. I know the calculation is still running because it completes eventually.
I am guessing Excel is getting too many updates to its screen (i.e. that cell) to keep up with the calculation going on in another thread, so it just gives up on the updating.
Is there a way to force Excel to keep updating the screen? I'm willing to give up the 0.01% slowdown in exchange for continuing to see progress. I see no need for the VB calculation thread to hog out the screen updater.

Excel 2010: I'm working with a sheet where I would like to get accurate results on the make and model of cars sold in a given week. The workbook contains several worksheets each representing weekly sales numbers for different vehicles.
The Make-Models tab has the lists used to create the drop-down selections.
The Sales tab allows one to create an ad hoc report on the total number of vehicles sold, by Make and Model. Cell B2 is named 'SelectedModel' and used in the formula found in column E, Total Sold.
Problem: When I select Honda, for example in B2 of the Sales worksheet then select Accord in cell B3 of the same. The results returned in E2, E3 and E4 are 2, 3 and 4, respectively, instead of 8, 3 and 7.
2 Honda Accords were sold on Monday and 6 on Tuesday of the same week. My formula is only returning the first matched value of 2 whereas I would like it to return 2+6, 8 for week 1. Same goes for other weeks.
Select any other make and model and notice the problem follows. I believe the error is due to incorrect usage of the formula or incorrect formula altogether.
IF(ISNA(INDEX(Week1!E:E,MATCH(SelectedModel,Week1!B:B,0))),0,
INDEX(Week1!E:E,MATCH(SelectedModel,Week1!B:B,0)))

excel 2007. Here is the situation:
I am using the Index and Match function to lookup for two specific criterias in a different worksheet. So far, it is working well, but it gets complicated. I want to look for the criterias in 6 different worksheets based on what a certain column is saying. Here is an example:
A
B
C
D
[Code].....
So, if the continent is Asia in the column A, I want Excel to look in the Asia worksheet for the city and the venue and return me the contact information. Same, if the continent says Europe, I want it to look in the Europe worksheet or the city and the venue and return me the contact information. So on and so forth.
The formula I have at the moment is this:
{=INDEX('Asia'!$1:$1048576;MATCH(B3&C3;'Asia'!D:D&'Asia'!E:E;0);9)}
How do I incorporate the logical test for it to look for the proper worksheet knowing that all my continent worksheet have the same structure?

currently using Excel 2007 with Windows Vista.
I currently have a worksheet where I want to input a date (G2) and a rank value (H2) ranging from 1 to 4. The header value (B1:E1) corresponding to the date (A2:A4) and the rank (B2:B4) should be returned to I2 (currently returns #NA).
Using formula: =INDEX($B$1:$E$1,MATCH(H2,INDEX($B$2:$E$4,MATCH(G2,$A$2:$A$4),)))
which I found under: Find row, find value, then return column heading
However, the above formula does not seem to work with my date order or recurring data values of 1 to 4 over the 3 rows.
The worksheet layout is as follows:
Date
A
B
C
D
Date
Rank
Header
[code]....
The return value under Header should be C.
I have reversed the order of the dates and put sequential numbers in B2:B4 as plug variables and the above formula will return the correct Header value but I need the formula to work with the current date order and repeating rank values of 1 to 4 in B2:B4. Do not wish to use VBA.

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 have two lists of values in ascending order. Column A is an identifier and is always one more than the previous. Column B is ascending as well, but there is never any guarantee that it will increase from one row to the next or how much it will increase when it does.
My index formula looks like this: =INDEX(A2:A21,MATCH(D9,B2:B21,1)+1)
In this example, if D9 = 1 then it needs to return 6 but instead returns 10. How can I make this index for my purpose? Or should I be looking for a different function?

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?

I am attempting to use the LARGE formula to pull the top 3-5 percentages out of a field of 50-100, while using the INDEX/MATCH function to pull the corresponding "descriptor" that is associated with those top 3-5 percentages. (I need to do this across multiple data sets, but I can't get past this 'duplicate' issue) However, I am running into the problem when there are 2 percentages that are identical (WH 14 and WH 16 in pasted text below), then the INDEX/MATCH function only pulls the 1st "descriptor" and doesn't continue down to the Duplicate. how to tell excel to move to the next set of duplicate data and match the 'descriptor' to that data?

I'm using this formula to lookup data based on the lowest average.
[Code] .....
The problem is that the minimum average is a two way tie, and I need to return both data sets. It just happens to have the same average.
I've tried using SMALL(array,1) and SMALL(array,2) in place of MIN above, but it gives me the same data set. I've also tried resizing using offset.

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.

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)

let me start by saying that I know an example workbook would be useful here, but the part I'm struggling with is the [managementroster.xlsm] file, and there is A. no way I can release it to the internets and B. its so huge/complicated I couldn't even begin to reproduce a portion of it, scrubbed of data, and hope to maintain its functionality in a meaningful manner.
[Code]....
This formula checks a staff number on this spreadsheet, and then goes and looks at the staff number on the roster. Once found, it returns that staff members roster, but changes any manager codes in the MRC list to Mgr, and changes all other roster codes to Free.
I now need this formula, before altering roster codes to Mgr or Free, to only return codes that are a match for another table (or after really. I don't particularly care, so long as only codes are shown that match data from another table). I think an index/match function would do the trick, but this forumula is already at the edge of my excel ability, nesting another function within it is completey beyond me. The relevant cells for the index/match function would be:
This first Match function targets the column. $E3 is the date required, $BA$1:$DN$1 is the range the dates are entered in
Match: Lookup value = $E3
Lookup array = '[ManagementRoster.xlsm]Vacancies!'$BA$1:$DN$1
match type = 0
This second Match function targets the row. $A$4 is the department name, $B$434:$B$452 is the range where all departments are entered
Match: Lookup value = $A$4
Lookup Array = '[ManagementRoster.xlsm]Vacancies!'$B$434:$B$452
match type = 0
Index: array = $BA$434:$DN$452
So I think my final function is
[Code] .....
But I have absolutely NO idea where it would fit within my first formula, or how to code it so that my original formula only reproduces results that are found in both sheets, or anything.

I've been working on a payroll program for my small biz. I'm close to done BUT...When I use the Index Match function in a cell it works great. However I need to copy it down a column to work for pay periods going forward. When I copy it down of course it puts zeros or N/A.
Columns:
Gross Fed FICA Medicare State Net
F G H I J K
Gross is user input. FICA Medicare State and Net are simply calculated on the sheet. But to get Fed Income tax I use the Index Match function and it works perfectly. The rows increment properly with each new user input.
My question: Fed Income tax is dependent on what the Gross is in order to look up the tables with the Index Match function. How do I get the result of the function into column G? Can I increment up Column G and ignore the zeros that dragging the function down G creates?
