Find Value In Table & Return Column / Row Header


I am having trouble with getting a value (which is the row and column value) from a set of numbers. I have attached an example table to try and make things clearer.
What I have is a table with a set of Row Headers, and Columns Headers all numeric. e.g Columns headed 1, 2, 3, 4, Rows 30, 40, 50 etc. I want to find the 1st occurrence of a value e.g. 1.0 in the table (by 1st Up mean closest to top left), and then give me the value of the Row and Column Header that corresponds to that.

So for the example attached, I want to get the row Value 200 and Column 6 from finding the 1st occurrence of the number 1. I have tried various combinations of index and Match etc. But I can't get my head around the fact that the position of the 1st no. 1.0 can change, therefore I can't use any releative positions etc.

Lookup Row & Column Heading To Return Corresponding Header
I have a list of names and the chores they need to do on a certain day. I need a formula that returns the chore the person needs to do when the date is filled in.

Ex: Sheet2 Col:A has names filled in A2:11 , row B1:J1 has dates that you would input.
formula goes in B2:J11
Sheet1 is the master with all the data the formula would be pulling from.
column A2:A11 has the names , row B1:S1 has the chore that needs to be done.
B2:S11 has the dates already filled in.

I have an excel sheet I am working on and in columns F1:F2000 I have an IF statment, I need to be able to add more "IF"s to it but I will exceed the 1024 char limit. Is there a way I can put this formula into VB as a function called DocumentType() and then in excel F1:F2000 =DocumentType()?

Is it as simple as:

Function DocumentType()

Find & Return Value Same Row, Different Column
I would like to use a macro to find a number in a worksheet, other than the worksheet i'm using the macro in. The number - in this case a material code located in Column A - must be entered by the user in an inputbox, and then return (copy&paste?) the value of another cell (the price of the material - in Column D) in the same row.

I recorded a macro envoking the find function, but then it only finds the number which I used during the recording. How do I change the code so that the user can input any number, or what code must I write?

Lookup Value In Header Row And Return
I have a worksheet with the following values:

header row 15 17 19 25 etc.
each column underneath the row will have a value of 0 or -1

A B C D E etc
1 15 17 19 25
2 0 -1 -1 0
3 -1 0 0 0
4 0 0 0 0
etc

I want a formula that I would put in each row that would return the value of Row 1 if there is a -1 below that value. So, in this example:

Row 2 formula would return 17,19
Row 3 formula would return 15
Row 4 formula would return nothing

Find Value In Table Based On Value In Row & Column
I have a table where the columns are named: A, B, C, D and E and the lines are named: 1,2,3,4 and 5. All the cells of this table are filled with values.
I want the function to return the value on the correspondent cell everytime I type a combination of column and line. For instance if I type "B2" the function would return the value on this position...

Actually I am looking for something like a combination of the functions "hlookup" and "vlookup"...

Return Column Header Of First Column That Doesn't Contain 0
I'm looking for a formula that will return the column header (a date) of the first instance of a number greater than 0. For example if columns A through S had dates as in row 1 (header row), and in row 2, every column contained a 0 up until column P, I would want the date (Row 1, Column P) returned? I think this might be a sort of index/match formula, but I am not very familiar with these.

Return Column Header Of Last Positive Value In Range
I've got numerical data in columns A through AF, starting in row 4. I need a formula, starting in AG4 that I can drag down. I need the formula to look back across the row until it gets to the last posistive number, then return the column header of that column (the column headers are in row 3)

so for example

Header row

Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug

Data

0 3 0 0 8 0 0 0

the formula would return May in this example as 8 is the las positive value and the column header for that column is 8. There are no blank cells in the data.

Find Data In Column Range & Return Cell Same Row But X Columns To Right
i have is 3 sheets in the same excel document. Sheet 1 is the mater sheet, which is a compilation of sheets 2 and 3, however the sheet layouts are different.

The sheets consist of a list of names and details. Sheet 1 has all the names in the list, however sheet 2 and 3 only have partial lists that are in a different order from the original list. The details listed next to the names in sheets 2 and 3 are different and hence a straight forward row copy and paste will not work.

What i need is to write a vba script that can take the name from the master list, search sheets 2 and 3 for the name and lookup the variables placed in next to the name, then update the master sheet accordingly, then continue to the next name on the master sheet and do the update again, and so on until all is updated. I have already thought about using lookup functions in excel however there is 1000 names on the list and around 60 details so it would be messy.

Lookup On Column And Row Header
I need a formula to lookup and retrieve data from a table of values. Given an EMP-ID in column A of the row that contains the formula and given a column name in row 1 of the column that contains the formula, I need to do a lookup. So, in effect, I am doing a lookup based on two values .. the column header and the row header.

I have attached a small model to illustrate what I need. Cell C-3 in the first worksheet will contain the formula to lookup and retrieve the value in cell C-7 in the second worksheet, based on the values in cell C-1 (column header = “Database Col 2”) and in cell A-3 (row header = “257”) in the first worksheet.

Pivot Table: Table That Shows As A Header The URL
I want for my set of data. The attached .xls is pretty straight forward: the first column is a list of people (identified by their customer number) and the second column is the URL they visited.

Since many people went to multiple pages, there are dupes between the two columns, but all of the rows are unique. What i am looking for is a table that shows as a header the URL (just one) and then the list of people that went to that URL under the header. So it's really just one column of information. It seems like a perfect task for a pivot table.

Values will be changed periodically so the maximum number could be in different column each time

Example:
A-B-C-D-E-F-G
1-2-3-4-5-6-7
2-6-8-18-1-1-8
2-5-6-9-12-1-7

Vlookup: Search For Value In SECOND Column Of Table Array And Return Value From FIRST
I'm looking for a formula to search for a value in the SECOND (instead of first) column of a table array and return a value in the same row from FIRST (instead of the same or another) column in the table array. Formula would be searching for the unique production order number in the column B and return production line id from the column A.

A1 production line_id
B1 poduction_order_number

A2 L1
A3 L2
A4 L1

B2 505212

One remark-there is no possibility to switch these 2 columns to simplify. I have to leave them as they are.

Formula To Go Through Each Row And If The 2nd Column Is Yes Then Return The First Column
I have a collection of data like the following:
Week1 | yes
Week2 | no
Week3 | no
Week4 | yes
Week5 | no
...
Week28 | yes

I need a formula to go through each row and if the 2nd column is yes then return the first column. I could then copy and paste this formula into a the next cell, add an argument saying the returned value cannot be the same as the previous ones, and so on. Essentially this is a series of nested IF statements. However, Excel prevents more than 7 statements from being nested, when I need all 28 to be searched. I cannot think of a way to get VLOOKUP, INDEX & MATCH, or defined names to make this work, because it needs to step through each row.

Find First/Last Value In Row & Return Corresponding Description Above/Below
I'm trying to find

1) the last and

2) first values in a time series of data in which the the data points are scattered all over the place

AND I'd also like to

3) get the corresponding year ( Heading name) for both the

3.1) last and the

3.2) first data point

I've found solutions for all but 3.2. Thus the question remains:

How could I lookup the heading description for the first value on a row?

example:

row #; lookup; year1; year2; year3; year4;
1; year3; ; ; 23; ;
2; year2; ; 21; ; 53;
3; year1; 12; ; 45; 2;

In case it helps anyone looking for same information or providing help to solve my problem 3.2 the other solutions I've found are:

1) lookup last value in row

i) Find Last Number In Row & Return Heading
=LOOKUP(9.99999999999999E+307,R5:AI5)
... also an additional VB solution

ii) Find Last Number In Row & Return Heading
=INDEX(M12:M500;MATCH(9.99999999999999E+307;M12:M500))
... page also includes solution for 2), below

iii) Find Last Number In Row & Return Heading
... 2 VB solutions

2) Lookup first value in row
Find Last Number In Row & Return Heading

=INDEX(M12:500,MATCH(TRUE,INDEX(M12:M500<>0,0,0),0))
... page also includes solution for 1), above

and

3) Lookup heading of last populated cell in row
Find Last Number In Row & Return Heading

=LOOKUP(2,1/(I9:CN9<>""),I$5:CN$5)

4) Could I e.g. modify the above to lookup the year of first value?

What I want to do is have a formula that is in cell D1 that looks at the value in A1 and finds that value in Column B and if it is found return the value in the same row in Column C. In the example it would show Jim since MB is found in cell B1.

Find Last Occurence Of Value And Return Balance From Another Column
I am trying to create a run balance sheet (see attached sheet). Column C has a list of job numbers, with column D showing the reqd quantities. Once the job is run, the qty is entered in column F and either a balance or the word complete returns in column H. My problem is, is that, when a job with a balance attached to it is re-run, that balance should be returned in Column D.

Ie 574361 has a total of 707 of which 320.4 was run, leaving a balance of 386.6.
When I type in 574361 again, I need column D (in the cell next to the job number)to automatically locate the last reported balance and return its value.
I have tried VLOOKUP and INDEX, but cannot get the thing to return.
