Finding A Match In Different Columns

Jan 3, 2009

If a number in cell M1 is also anywhere in column A (column A has unique numbers), then cell W1 (date) should equal the content of cell V (also date) in the row that that number appears in column A. If M1 is blank (or there is no match in column A), then W1 should equal V1.

In W1, I currently have...

Finding Start And End Columns Using MATCH Function

Jan 22, 2014

I have a table as follows: [URL] - note: cells containing times and temperatures are numeric values, I've used custom formatting to add " mins" and "°C" on the end

In one cell, a user can input a time period (in mins), and in another cell, I would like to output the start and end columns (in letter/s) for the chosen time.

For example, in the link above, if the value inputted '30' then the start column is 'C' and the end column is 'G'. If the user had inputted '60', then the results would be 'H' and 'K', etc.

I am able to find the start column with the following equation:
=SUBSTITUTE(ADDRESS(1,MATCH(VALUE,C2:P2,0)+2,4),"1","")

I am struggling, however, to find the end column for the chosen time.

If each time had the same number of temperatures then it would be a simple case of adding the number of temperatures per time, minus 1, after the "+2".

My first idea was to copy the above function, but to change the "0" in the MATCH function to "-1", in order to find the next greatest time value. However, it appears that using "-1" in the MATCH function only works if the range is in descending order - my times are always in ascending order.

I have a further problem in that the time periods are not always the same values (i.e. it won't always be 30-60-90-120, it could for example be 30-45-60-75). So as far as I know, there is no way in advance of knowing the next time period up (and then subsequently taking one column to the left).

One possible workaround I have considered involves the following:
- Add a new row between rows 2 and 3, which has the time values in each cell (i.e. from column C, values of 30-30-30-30-30-60-60-60-60-90-90-90-120-120) - effectively duplicating the time row, but not merging cells
- Use the COUNTIF function to find the number of cells in that row containing the chosen time
- Add this value, minus 1, after the "+2" in the above formula, i.e. =SUBSTITUTE(ADDRESS(1,MATCH(VALUE,C2:P2,0)+2+COUNTIF(C3:P3,"="&VALUE")-1,4),"1","")

Finding Next Match (Text)

Jan 23, 2014

I've got 2 sheets. Sheet 1 is where I am inputting all the products I'm producing and giving them serial numbers, if I produce the same part twice the name of the part is the same but the serial number changes. It looks something like this...

Sheet 1:

A
B
C

1
Part Produced
Serial Number

[code]....

While Sheet 1 is constantly been filled with the parts being made with their individual serial numbers. Sheet 2 is constantly being filled with the incoming orders, But only the A Column of Sheet 2 is being changed... as an order comes in I simply type into sheet 2 what product the customer is looking for.

The problem I am having is that as I write in that another "handle" for example as been ordered into sheet 2, my normal MATCH forumla is bringing up the same Serial Number "1001" over and over again. Really I'm wanting the "B" column to update to the next available serial number, so for example "1002"

Sheet 2... as it's coming out right now (wrong)...

A
B

1
Part Ordered By Customer
Serial Number

2
Handle
1001

[code]....

The formula will need to go into Sheet 2 'B' Column, and I'd like it to come out looking like this...

A
B

1
Part Ordered By Customer
Serial Number

2
Handle
1001

[code]....

Finding The Match With VLOOKUP

Dec 15, 2008

I have some intersting issue. Actually there are lot of functions in excel but my purpose is somewhat is solved by VLOOKUP , MATCH, OFFSET, INDEX functions.

Prob: Here i have a database contains as below
A1 B1 C1 D1
111 123 i/p o/p
222 301
111 321
333 456

If i keep 222 / 333 in C1 i will get output at D1 as 301 / 456 respectively. But if i keep 111 , i want a desired result to be most lastly updated value in the array that is 321 but it is printing 123.

let say if have
A1 B1 C1 D1
111 123 i/p o/p
222 301
111 321
333 456
111 500

then if i enter 111 in C1 then i want to get 500 but still am getting 123 only. tht is the first hit.
i want to return a value which has lastly updated.

So if i use any fuctions from above i may getting correct results for 222,333 but i want result for 111.

Thoughts and rules:
1.The new entry will added at the end of the array.
2. A1/B1 are only numbers.
3. free to use any functions

U can have flexibility to create one more array or even update the column B1 if any i/p matches in column A1. So there will always a single output for each unique input.
Imean to say u can have a array with

A1 B1 C1 D1
111 321 (replace 123 with 321) i/p o/p
222 301
(remove this entry)
333 456

Finding And Deleting Row With Match In Macro

Jan 13, 2007

I want to delete a row in a spreadsheet by finding the row that contains a particular value. I use MATCH on spreadsheet #1 to identify the row number on spreadsheet #2 to delete. I need the macro to select the row number on spreadsheet #2 and delete it.

I don't know the syntax for the commands in VBA to write this and I'm coming to this forum for help because I'm too lazy to learn VBA. I've recorded macros to add rows, populate cells, hide sheets, etc. The following code is extracted from a macro I recorded to try to get started, and was hoping to be able to substitue a reference to sheet1 within the parentheses at

Rows("4:4").Select

but I can't make this work. The following is the code I was trying to adapt.

Sheets("Sheet2").Select
Rows("4:4").Select
Selection.Delete Shift:=xlUp

Continue Searching A Table With Vlookup Despite Finding One Match

Jul 1, 2008

Im using vlookup to search a table and fill out a calendar with dates that various employees are gone. They can have multiple trips in one month and thus will be in the table multiple times. I have the calendar set up so days go across the top and names go along hte left side. so each cell is identified by name and day. I then have each cell using the vlookup command to search the table. now if one person has multiple trips a month is there a way to compare multiple entries in the table?

Match Limitations: Not Finding Value In Cells With Alot Of Text.

Feb 9, 2007

I think Match has trouble finding a value thats within a cell containing a lot of words.

Heres the example. I'm trying to find the word "Hello world" in cell B1, in Column A.

Column A
1 Lots of Text
2 Text Text. Hello world. text text
3 Text Text

Cell B1
Hello world

Column B2
Match("*"&B1&"*",A:A,0)

When theres only 1 sentence in Cell A2, the function works and returns 2.
However, when Cell A2 contains a few paragraphs the function returns #NA.

I don't necessarily need to use Match, if this is indeed a limitation does anyone of suggestions to work around, other than vlookup?

Index & Match Multiple Items/Criteria: Finding The Nth Occurrence

Jun 25, 2008

I've read the how to for finding the nth occurrence using index/match but the example given does not really help solve my issue. The file I've attached is a condensed version of the actual file, which has more columns but I deleted all but the necessary ones for clarity. What I am trying to accomplish:

On sheet1 there are three columns, Business, Amount, and Closing Date.

Not all the business names have a closing date and the spreadsheet is sorted alphabetically by business name, so sorting by closing date, and using the method used in the topic " find the nth occurrence in excel", is not an option.

On sheet2, I would like to see ALL the business names that have a closing date in the respective month, as opposed to just the first. Then to the right of the business names I have the sum of all the amounts in that month, but I figured out how to get that one already.

Copy Columns Between Worksheets If The Columns Don't Match

Jun 7, 2006

I have 2 worksheets in which I have to copy one column of cells from one to
the other. The problem is that the "main" worksheet lists nearly 3,500
clients and I have to copy numbers into the "main" worksheet on weekly basis
from another worksheet that lists only about 1,100 of those 3,500 clients.

Both client lists are in alphabetical order, but I obviously cannot just copy
one column into the other, because then the numbers won't be matching the
correct clients.

How Do You Sort Columns So That They Match Up With Other Columns With Like Data

Jul 2, 2008

I have two columns one is web addresses and the other is email addresses but the rows do not line up. I was hoping that since the second half of the email address matches the web address I could somehow sort them so that the email address column and web address column match up. Here is an example but keep in mind that this list is about 9k long and this is just a sampling so you may not see any in this example that match. Also I may have more than one email address per website.

Match 2 Columns To Copy Information In Other Columns

Apr 21, 2007

I have 2 workbooks (workbook1 & workbook2). Information in column A and column N must match both workbooks per row/ cell (ie. if A2 and N2 in workbook1 match workbook2, copy information from 3 other columns (S, T, U from from workbook1 into workbook2 - cells S2, T2, U2). Workbook2 may have information in column S, T, U, but I need to over-write it with the information from workbook1. If the information does not match per that row/cell (ie. A2 in both worksheets are the same, but N2, they are not, so go to the next line that does match and copy the information into worksheet2). I do not want to use a V- lookup for this problem. I really need a marco.

For the 3rd through the 8th categories I have to choose one from the 3rd category, then one from the 4th, etc. After the 8th category I start back at the 3rd and go to the 4th, ect.

Finding If Two Columns With Text Equal?

Feb 11, 2013

I have a column with text + string (e.g., T1000, T1001, etc.)

I have another column that's the same, but sometimes this column has new codes.

Right now I have to "eye" it side by side to see if there are any new codes, but I'm sure there's a better way to do it. I'm thinking of asking Excel to compare the columns and if they aren't equal, then it would be necessary for me to eye it. If they are equal, then I dont have to bother because there are no new codes.
