Find + If + Lookup
Dec 8, 2009
I'm sorting through a list of business executives and trying to classify them by their titles to sort them into functional areas, but I'm ending up having to use just a giant nested IF statement, and there has to be a better way of doing it.
Not everyone has a uniform title, so I'm using FIND to look at the title and find particular search strings. Basically it's this, over and over again:
=IF(ISNUMBER(FIND("Operation",A1)),"Operations/Manufacturing",
Where the title is obviously in A1. I can easily assemble a VLOOKUP table, but I don't know how to combine this with the ISNUMBER(FIND aspect of this.

In my workbook I have multiple sheets but I'm attaching a very simple workbook to demonstrate what I'm trying to accomplish. In my "Lookup" tab/sheet. I want to have known Latitude and Longitude data that will exist in columns A&B. Columns C & D will have address numbers and Street Name. I would like my lookup formula to find the longitude and latitude data from my "lookup" sheet, when the matching address information is typed in, in my 2009 sheet. I have to keep the street numerics and street name separate on this worksheet as well. I believe I'll need two separate lookup formulas as I need these formulas to start in cell G4 & H4 in my "GeoCoding1" sheet. Is it possible to have four columns of data to be viewed in a lookup formula? I tried this formula in cell G4 (GeoCoding1 sheet)

I have a formula in a worksheet that lists equipment in inventory. It looks at another worksheet of service work orders and verifies that, if work was done on a particular unit, do a look up and post the latest meter reading recorded on a work order for that unit.
My formula works fine unless the latest work order doesn't have a meter reading posted yet, so it returns a zero - overwriting any previous meter reading that was stored there.

I have a distance grid with place names down column A and along Row 1 with distances in the middle. I then have a place name in cell A1 on sheet2 and a distance in cell B1 on sheet2. Ideally I want cell C1 on sheet2 to lookup the place in cell A1 on Row1 of the grid on sheet1 and then find the distance in B2 in that column before displaying the correspoding value from Column A on sheet2. I've tried various Match and Index functions with no success.

I have a row of dates, with variable start date, each being one week apart, starting in cell T5 (say T5 = 4/12/06, U5 = 11/12/06, V5 = 18/12/06 etc). The last date is in cell AE5. I wish to loop along the range and find the date that today’s date (say 21/12/06) falls in (answer = 18/12/06). And enter that date in cell Q2.

I have 40 or so case studies on one worksheet. Each case has four columns- the first is the year, and the next three are values for that year. Each study is 140 years long, but they don't all start in the same year. What I want to do is pluck all the values from the fourth column of each study, and total them up for each year.

I have a column with 11 different numbering schemes that go from 736466.01 through 736466.11 In the group from 736466.01 through 736466.07 I need to have the adjacent column look to those cells and if it finds 736466.01-.07 return "CM" if it is 736466.08-.11 I need it to return "TC". I created the formula below but it doesn't like something I have done unless I change the format of the 736466.xx to text. Anything other than 736466.01-.11 should return a "null" or "void" Can you help me improve this formula, or show me a better way of creating it?
=LOOKUP(E2,{"736466.01","736466.02","736466.03","736466.04","736466.05","736466.06","736466.07","736 466.08","736466.09","736466.10","736466.11"},{"CM","CM","CM","CM","CM","CM","CM","TC","TC","TC","TC" })

I have scoured the Excel boards but cannot find what I am looking for. Need to do a formula approach (No Pivot Table) lookup on a dynamic table that is not necessarily in order and may have blanks in some cells or whole rows. What I would like Excel 2003 to do is report (extract) the all first occurrences of each organization number that has at least one person with a "Yes" in a corresponding column in the same row. I also need the number of persons that have "Yeses" in each of those identified Org Nos .
Data is laid out as such:
Org No. Name Not in Compliance
8631Steve Yes
8631David
8631Nick
8631Tom
8631Susan Yes
8701Peter Yes
8701Diane Yes
8701Mary Yes
8879Don
8879Bernie
8879Wayne
8900David Yes
The answer is
In one row list the org #'s not in compliance ("Yes"). In the row just below it the number of persons:
86318701 8900
2 3 1
I have a helper column that counts the number of unique org nos, but cannot tie that to those that have Yes in the other column.
In column before Org No i have =IF(COUNTIF(b$33:b34,b34)=1,MAX(a$33:a33)+1,"") copied down.

Columns F looks at another table within the same worksheet for the Customer Code that has the MOST Orders in Column B.....then places the Tot Orders amount in F2..... Cust Codes in Column E and the Cum Values into Col G ( that's already been accumulated and housed in column C ).
Cell F3 then go looks up the next largest order in Column B and pulls over the adjacent Customer Code & Cum Value to the E,F,G table again.
Basically there's 3 functions:
1 in E2
1 in F2
1 in G2
All to copy downward within that table

on sheet 1
I have a list of race car numbers (20K, 15W, 2) in A1:A50 (may be more or less than 50)
Next to them in B1:B50 are the point values they earned for a night of racing. 100-97-94 etc.... these are points they have earned for a night of racing that week.
in C1 I have how many column over I need to write to (ex. 4 for Column "D" on sheet 2)
On sheet 2 I have all the total for each week.
example
A1 B1 C1
Car 4/22 4/29
20K 94 90
15W 97 100
......
What I need is some code to go down the driver list on sheet1 and write their points in colum D on sheet 2 when it finds the appropriate car number. If the car number does not exist then add the car to the bottom of the list (A50) or whatever, and write the points 4 columns over.

I have 40 or so case studies on one worksheet. Each case has four columns- the first is the year, and the next three are values for that year. Each study is 140 years long, but they don't all start in the same year. What I want to do is pluck all the values from the fourth column of each study, and total them up for each year.
Here's how the sheet is set up- row 6 is a header row with four repeating column heads- year, value1, value2, value3. So year is in col A, E, I, M, Q, etc. up to FM. Value3, the one that I want totaled is in col D, H, L, P, etc up to FP. Each year column begins with a different year, (with some repeats) but each is 141 rows long, so that the first study begins in 1994 and ends in 2134, the second is from 1985-2125, the third is from 1991-2131, etc. I want excel to find all the value3's from 2007 and total them, all the value3's from 2008 and total those, up through 2145. The data range is A7:FP147. I tried adjusting some of the suggestions, but no luck. I was thinking I'd have column FQ with all the years 2007 on, and FR by the total of all the value3's from that year.

Index Match lookup formula does not find valid entries that exist in the lookup table. Formula: =INDEX(tbl_Costs,MATCH( F8,tbl_Costs_PN,0),MATCH("Cost",tbl_Costs_hdngs,0)). I've verified that the matching criteria and values are, in fact, in the table and have made double sure that all cells are formatted the same. the attached file and show me the error of my ways.

I have a workbook with 12 sheets. On the 12th sheet I need some VB to go to each of the other tabs and find the letter “E” or “H” in column F. Once the “E” or “H” is found in column F and a number =>9 is found in column E then copy that row from column A-F and paste this row to sheet 12.
On sheet 12, I would like to be able to paste the row in a way that will hold the date in column A. The date can also be copied from each sheet found in cell E1. Also, the tab name has to be copied to sheet 12 with the row the E or H was found if “=>9 criteria” was met.

I have a bit of a challenge. You'll have to take a look at the attached files to understand what I am trying to do. I am asking for your advice. I am creating multiple spreadsheets (QPPcompany.xls) that will refer back to a master data(QPPdata.xls) file.
I am trying to figure out how to best set up the data file so that I can do lookups on the data from the referencing files. Here's the challenge. I need to be able to find in the data page the company name in Column A and then how many L's (or C's or P's) they had in a specified month. So for instance I need to be able to find the number 3 in cell E6 and place it in B15 of the referencing file. The required criteria for lookup are Company Name, Month and then L, C or P.
So my question is, is this possible with how my data file is currently set up? I think it may be a problem to have the month/year in row 4 refer to 3 different colums for each month (L, C and P). I don't mind making changes to the data file to make these lookups possible and I think it may be necessary.

Basically I'm trying to look up a series of numbers against a separate row of numbers and look for a match regardless or number order.
For example
If you look at the above picture I'm trying to do a query of some sort that will look up the numbers in A8:G8 in then search each row in the above table ie look for the numbers in B1:J1, B2:J2,B3:J3 etc I need to be able to search each row and look for the sequence of numbers regardless of order, if there is or inst a match for all numbers it should look at the next row and so on (maybe multiple matches). If there is a match then it should display the Name located in column "A" into cell G8. In this example to Jarrad row contains the numbers located in A8:G8. If there is no match it should display "None".
I'm trying to find any easy way to do this as I have over 500 rows I'm trying to query. The number's in A8:G8 in this example could also be more or less, ie here I have included 6 numbers but this could be 3 or 9 etc.

I have account information with 4-digit customer location identifiers beginning at character 9 and ending at character 12:
3600820040010500050006080000360082004004050005000503000036008200400105000500068900003600820040050500050006880000360082004001050005000402000036008200400105000500052320003600820040030500050005271000
No matter what changes in this string, these four digits (9, 10, 11 & 12) will always be in the same position.
What I would like to do is (I think) use the FIND funtion and then perform a VLOOKUP against an already defined table/range which identifies the actual location in the destination cell. Will FIND be the easiest for me to do this our should I use something else?
The what to interpret characters 9-12 (using 3600820040030500050005271000 as an example):
3600820040030500050005271000
4003 is the location information which consistantly breaks down:
4 = Region Name
003 = Office / City (001 thru 024)
There are 7 possible regions with 24 possible Offices/Cities. I want to believe I can make this lookup happen using VLOOKUP tables that break them down - but I just don't have the brainpower to identify those 4 digits and then break them out for a look up.

Find the most common occurring string in my spreadsheet based on a lookup value. For example, if my table is as follows:
Capture.PNG
- I want to calculate the most common value chosen by user 234 (A in this case), user 524 (B in this case)... and so on.
- I want to calculate the percent of the chosen value. So in the previous point, A was chosen ~67% of the time by user 234... and so on.
I'm not sure which formula to use. I am able to find the most common occurring value in column B using the formula below (which I found here), but how can I do that for a specific value, a user ID in this case?

I have a range of cells (say A1:D8).
I wanna find the address (say $B$2) of the minimum value in that range.
This command does it but it only works on a column. it does not accept a range spanning more than one column.
=CELL("address",INDEX(B2:B7,MATCH(MIN(B2:B7),B2:B7,0)))
this will tell me the address of the minimum value.. but in a column... I need a range of many columns.
So I tried converting things to a Table.. but it never worked. basically the MATCH command is my problem. It only accepts single-column-ed ranges.
