construct a formula that finds a value in a range , then returns the cell address of that value.
Say, i wanted to find the amount 12385 from another sheet , range C2:AA12 (contains only numbers , no duplicates). result should give me the address of that value.
I have tried the address & match function but gives me an N/A error.
when I use the range.find function to find a certain value in a column.. i want to return the address of the cell.. and save it in a range variable. how would I do that?
so this is what i have now.. but Rng does not return as a range.. it returns 69... when i use ctrl + G and type ?rng
set rng = .range(A:A).find(what:=69, After:=.Cells(1, 1), Searchorder:=xlByRows, searchdirection:=xlPrevious)
ok so say it picks up..... cell A69... how do i get it to save range A69
Is there any formula to find text and return its cell address? This is like when we use Ctrl+F function to find a text, and Excel then highlight the cell contains the referred text. At the same time, the name-bar displays the address of the cell. Now, is there any formula that can perform such task like this?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a list of ID's on one sheet that are also located in a large matrix on another sheet.
This macro uses the Find_Range function to find each ID within the matrix and return the column header where the ID was first located.
There is also a line which return a list of ranges, indicating all the places where the ID was found.
What I want is to convert the list of ranges into a list of corresponding column headers (ie row 1 of all columns in the range)
' Number of id's in list
RowCnt = Application.WorksheetFunction. CountA(Columns("A"))
For I = 2 To RowCnt
LookFor = Sheets("ID List").Range("A" & I)
Set InRng = Sheets("Matrix").Cells
Set Found = Find_Range(LookFor, InRng, xlValues, xlWhole)
On Error Resume Next ' If value is not found
Sheets("RateID Count").Range("C" & I) = Sheets("Matrix") _
.Cells(1, Range(Found.Address).Column) ' Return column header
Sheets("ID List").Range("D" & I) = Found.Address(False, False) ' Return cell address or range of addresses
On Error Goto 0

If i lookup a value in the range A1:A12, say Sep-12, i need to get the cell address instead of the value of the row. but i know how to get cell address using CELL function. but i need to get cell address when i lookup the value.because lookup value will be dynamic.
I am performing a lookup using the populare user defined function nlookup, which does not take a lookuparray argument to find lookup values. But I only want to return lookup values that fall into a certain array. To accomplish this, I figured out that I need a way to specify a condition of the type "if cell address of lookup value falls within range"
It should be possible if I find a way to return the cell address of the nlookup value, but as nlookup is not limited by a lookuparray argument, so I was not able to use the address/index/match that come up in similar questions.
I have a table with customers and their addresses (sheet2) and I need to find their GPS locations in sheet1.
I guess the logic would need to be something like this:
find CityName and StreetName in sheet1 where StreetNo is between minStreetNo and maxStreetNo return GPS X and GPS Y
with the formula or VBA code?

View 2 Replies View RelatedHave a range of data with names dotted in different rows and cells.
I want to find a name, the return the number in the cell to the right.
Can use VLOOKUP as names arent always in same column of the range.
I am trying to return a cell address range based on values in different columns. Attached is an example.
In Column A1 I have "Range" and below that a set of numbers from 1 to 31.
In Column B1 the name "Test" is used as an identifier, below that are the letters "a" though to "e". Once the letter "e" is reached the identifier "Test" is moved to column C "C6" and the alphabet continues from "f" down to "j". This process is repeated through the rest of the alphabet and the identifier moved to the next column after every 5th letter.
What I want to do is as follows:-
I would like to know the cell addresses of all instances of "test" from Column A numbers 6 throught to 24. The result should be C7:C12, D14:18 & D20:24. The results should ignore all instances of the identifier "test" and only return the cells which contain the letters of the alphabet.
I have tried using Vlookup which works well if the letters are all in the same column and I have incorporated the Address and Match formulas to return the range if all the alphabets are in the same column, but I do not know how to do this if the identifier "test" and letters move to a differnt column.
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.
I am having troubles with using two methods together. I know how to find the address of the first or last occurance of a MAX in a range. I also know how to create a MAXIF function using criteria to determine what to consider for the max calculation. I do not know how to return the address of the result from the MAXIF.
I am using Office 2003 on WinXP.
Ultimately I want to take the address of the first result of a MAXIF and use it to do a lookup for a corresponding value. I'm not sure if I will be able to do this with a combination of functions, or if I will need a macro.
Heres an example:
Data:
Time WeekNum Count
01:02 1 12
02:05 1 35
03:09 2 456
14:20 2 123
12:24 2 122
Usage:
Use the maxif lookup to return the time of the largest count for WeekNum 2
Result:
03:09
I have a range of cells (say A1:D8).
I wanna find the address (say $B$2) of the minimum value in that range.
This command does it but it only works on a column. it does not accept a range spanning more than one column.
=CELL("address",INDEX(B2:B7,MATCH(MIN(B2:B7),B2:B7,0)))
this will tell me the address of the minimum value.. but in a column... I need a range of many columns.
So I tried converting things to a Table.. but it never worked. basically the MATCH command is my problem. It only accepts single-column-ed ranges.
I have a range of cells (C29:BB29) containing zeros and integers, I want to lookup the smallest non-zero value from that range in another range (C11:BB11) and return the cell address from C11:BB11 to use in a further SUM formula.
Is that possible?
I'm trying to return the cell address of an lookup. The lookup result is correct, but when I try use the below Address function, it just returns the text value (i.e., the formula itself) instead of the cell address. Below is the an example of each: ...
View 4 Replies View RelatedI want to be able to display the location of a specific cell no matter if I move it around by inserting cells above it. I've used =ADDRESS(41,2,1,TRUE,B41). Cell B41 contains the word "Tommy". So the result of this formula returns this: Tommy!$B$41. But now if I insert a row above cell B41, "Tommy" moves to cell B42 but the formula still returns: Tommy!$B$41. How can I get the formula to display the new cell address of "Tommy"?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have two columns of numbers in column A & B. In column A I am trying to locate the maximum value and get the cell address of the number next to it in column B. I am currently using this formula to do this ..... =ADDRESS(MATCH(MAX(A1:A4),A1:A4),2,4)
It works ok, but if the maximum number is the first value in the column it is returning the last cell address in column B. I am not sure what I am doing wrong.
i'm looking to return the cell address of the max number in a given range?
View 3 Replies View RelatedThe format for the sheet is set in stone and can't change, and therefore my macro's operate on set columns / rows amd cells.
Because the sheet is huge, im trying to figure out a way to only run the macro's that need to run and more specfically on the changed location.
The Question
I need to create a routine that on the user changing a cell, it returns the cell position (row,column), then it will call a routine i have already which decides based on the cell location, which macro to run and where.
Is there a way to get the vlookup function to return the cell address, rather than the value, of the lookup?

How would I return a cell reference (address) to a cell that contains the largest number in a list?
I tried using "Address(large....) where I get the correct column, but the returned row # is the actual value in the cell (the highest # in the list).
I eventually will want to delete the highest number to leave the cell blank.

Assuming this was row A, the formula needs to return $A$6 (or A6).
I'd like to have the cell address returned along with a value when I use the
MAX function.
I want a function that allows me to enter a range and then returns
the address of the cell with the minimum value. It is the Address I am
interested in, not the value.
Does anyone know the formula that produces the address (e.g. $A$1) of a cell within a table? I found the formula that gives the address of a single cell within a single row (or the address of a single cell within a single column). But I need the formula that gives the address of a cell where the row intersects the column. If I know the column header name and the row header name, how do I find the cell address for the two dimensional intersection?
