Can I use MATCH to match a subset of characters?
Example....Looking for value in a range that matches cell A1 (which reads 'DOGS')
MATCH(A1,'SEARCH_SHEET'!H4:H2590, FALSE)
This will look for a cell with 'DOGS' in it.
But what if I want a positive match on a cell that has 'DOGS & CATS'
This fails because it doesn't match exactly.
I am looking for a bit of assistance with the following formula. What I am trying to do is use sumproduct to sum on 2 variables. I have been trying to make this happen all day and if there is already a post on here to make it work I can't find it.
The problem revolves around the middle section. I am looking to match items in a text string (it is a mixture of text and number but are all as text)
I am looking to match a product that beings 200 (which might be 2000123) I don't want to match something like G200TRF I have tried every combination of left, right, find and search but I still have the same issue.
SUMPRODUCT(--($A$1:$A$1000=($O56)),--ISNUMBER(FIND(200,$E$1:$E$1000)),H$1:H$1000)
I am having some trouble getting a formula to work. I am building a report that pulls figures from a pivot table in another workbook. I am using a vlookup with match function to get the column index to find the relevant data I want. Where I need to add two columns together I am using sum, with the vlookup & match formulas nested in them e.g.:
=SUM(VLOOKUP(F13,'[PIVOT 156.xlsx]PIVOT'!$C:$AQ,MATCH("FAID",'[PIVOT 156.xlsx]PIVOT'!$C$6:$AQ$6,0),FALSE),VLOOKUP(F13,'[PIVOT 156.xlsx]PIVOT'!$C:$AQ,MATCH("COMM",'[PIVOT 156.xlsx]PIVOT'!$C$6:$AQ$6,0),FALSE),VLOOKUP(F13,'[PIVOT 156.xlsx]PIVOT'!$C:$AQ,MATCH("BPCM",'[PIVOT 156.xlsx]PIVOT'!$C$6:$AQ$6,0),FALSE),VLOOKUP(F13,'[PIVOT 156.xlsx]PIVOT'!$C:$AQ,MATCH("COMD",'[PIVOT 156.xlsx]PIVOT'!$C$6:$AQ$6,0),FALSE))
Where:
F13 = Employee number
Column C on the pivot 156 workbook is where the employee number is based.
The Match formula is then getting the column index from the column headings of the pivot table ie. "FAID"
This in itself works fine, as long as it finds a match in the column headings. This is where i get the error as in the above function "COMD" is not in the pivot table. However I need to keep it included as it may appear on a future pivot table. Is there a way of getting the sum function to complete even though later in the formula it can't complete the vlookup? So it will ignore it, or assume the value is zero if it can't find it? The formula probably needs to do this for all the vlookups as some headings may drop off in future pivot tables.
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)

I'm looking for a function than can tell me if any 4 consecutive charactetrs match between A1 and B1, A2 and B2, A3...
eg. If cell A1 = John James, Holly Judd. B2 = Emily James. I would like the function to return True in colums C as James appears in both cells (the aim of this is to identify trades between family memebers)
I have searched forums and know of MATCH and EXACT but don't know how to adapt for this example.
Basically where the columns say 2011 or 2012 AND 1, 2, 3. I want to be able to have it index the number below based on the GL number on the left and both the year and period on the top. I think that you can do with using the sumproduct function with the binary, but the computer is a little dated and it takes a while to run those calculations.

I have a SS with 700 rows. 2 columns (Col K and L) may or may not contain text in their cells. If the cells do have text, I want to check for the presence of keywords which could be anywhere within the text, and if I find match write the matching word in Column I. Example: I want to seach for the following strings Loaned, injured, suspended etc ... in the range the K4-K700. Lets say Cell K50 contains the text Injured - broken bones. As the word injured is a match I want to write the word injured to cell I50 In addition if Cell K50 has text and Cell L50 does not, i want to put the text "NEW" in I50, and the reverse if Cell L50 has text and Cell K50 does not i want to put the text "recovered" in I 50. Following formula (in each cell in Col I) does this job currently. Can't figure out how to redo this in VBA, and wondering if checking the 700 rows will cause Vba to be slower.
=IF(OR(TEXT(LEFT(OFFSET(I22,0,2,1,1),6),"DDDDDD")="Loaned",TEXT(LEFT(OFFSET(I22,0,2,1,1),6),"DDDDDD")="Transf"),
"Loaned",
IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("susp",OFFSET(I22,0,2,1,1))),
"Suspended",
IF(AND(ISBLANK(OFFSET(I22,0,2,1,1)),ISBLANK(OFFSET(I22,0,3,1,1))),
"",
IF(ISTEXT(OFFSET(I22,0,2,1,1))=ISTEXT(OFFSET(I22,0,3,1,1)),
"Ongoing",
IF(ISTEXT(OFFSET(I22,0,2,1,1))=TRUE,
IF(ISTEXT(OFFSET(I22,0,3,1,1))=FALSE,
"New"),
"Recovered")))))
Another interesting dilemma to solve. Using this formula:
View 2 Replies View Relatedlet 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

I am trying to write a function that recalculates given times to points (as used in speedskating).
The times are filled in by a number of people, which each use their own method of dividing minutes from seconds (and 1/100 of a sec).
I found out how to see the difference between times that look like 1.11.11 and 11.11 etc
How to use that same method in an InStr function. Most of the times I get an error message #Value or something that has that format, sometimes all I get is a 0.
I've been trying to find this on the web but haven't a clue now, I have a database query that I am pulling from an access database and now I am trying to match the last four characters of a referral string to a current location, let me show you what I mean. Example,
A(location string) B(current location) C(last location)
car/kitchen/house kitchen NO
kitchen/garage/car car YES
kitchen/car/garage car NO
I want to write a function in column C that matches the last four characters of the location string (column A) with the current location (column B) , and if they match have a YES in column C, or a conversely a NO.

I am trying to e-mail a portion of a spreadsheet that I have. My approach is the following: I save a copy in a temporary folder, open that copy, remove all the sheets that I don't need to send out, save it (same name as the e-mail subject), and then e-mail as an attachment.
The current approach does not remove the macros and references though. I use the following to remove the macros and references:
I have a set of data that can be divided into sub-sets. I've attached the sheet of data. There are 5 sub-sets and each of these has 5 sub-sets. The sets are defined by the Portfolio and End columns.
So, the 25 sub-sets look like:
10 INTL
20 INTL
30 INTL
40 INTL
50 INTL
10 LCG
20 LCG
30 LCG
...
I'm wondering if there is a way to write a formula in cell N10 that basically pulls in '10' and 'INTL' and finds the correlation on only that sub-set of data. So I guess I want a formula that returns a range such that =correl(Range1, Range2) will work. Also, the length of the ranges will vary, so trying to write an INDIRECT(ADDRESS... will not work. I tried an array-formula in cell N10, but it didn't work. I also included my expected output. in M18:O24.
I know I can do this in other ways, but I really want to learn if there is a way I can do this with 1 formula that I can just drag down. I guess its more of a learning opportunity than something that needs to get done.
I've got a list of employees with their division and a bunch of other data in each row. I want to copy each and every row to another sheet based on the division.

ID | Name | Division | Other

Assuming "ID" is A1 and the list is sorted by Division, I need some code to accomplish my goal. I know C/C++ so I understand the principles of programming but I'm just learning the VBA syntax. First thought is to loop through each row moving them individually but then I have to worry about putting it in an open row on the other sheet. Then I thought about finding the first row that contains the target division and, since the data is sorted by division, select each subsequent row and copy the entire selection at once to avoid fumbling around in the destination sheet. Hopefully someone out there can make sense of this and help out. Please let me know if I need to elaborate.

I have a set of 20 numbers that I regularly wish to select 6 numbers from, without duplicates
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a sheet of data that is imported from an external database. Depending on which report gets imported, the column count and column location will vary. However, the headers for the columns I need to work with are constant, therefore I create a named range for all columns, and reference the ranges as I work with the data and avoid hard-coded cell references. Therefore, the ranges are one cell wide, with up to 2000+ rows.
Here's my problem. I need to reference a sub-set of a named range, to get the min of the subset. I've searched this board and others, but can't find an example of this method. The code is within a loop, and the range subset location is determined by a count on another named range.
The data involves Tasks and Subtasks. Each task can have multiple subtasks, and each subtask has it's own start and end dates. I'm trying to determine the earliest start date and the latest end date for each individual Task so I can determine the total duration for the Task.
Here's the code that determines the cell range. This code is working.
d2 = WorksheetFunction.CountIf(Range("ASR"), Range("ASR").Cells(y, 1).Value) ' count number of tasks in this ASR, store in d2
The code that I can't figure out is below. The compiler can't figure out what I'm trying to do. (Neither can I!!)
d3 = WorksheetFunction.Min("Planned_Start_Date").Cells(y, 1), Cells(y + d2 - 1, 1).Value) ' Get the min Planned Start Date for this ASR
In english: Look in the Planned_Start_Date named range, and more specifically a certain subset of that range, and return the minimum date found.
I've tried several ways, none of which will compile. I realize the above code is way off; I include it to show how lost I really am!
Slightly off-topic: I'm fairly new to VBA, and am expected to create executive dashboards with the data. I've purchased Excel 2003 Power Programming with VBA and Excel Charts (both Walkenbach); Excel Programming 2nd Edition; Excel Edition of Using Visual Basic for Applications; and Dashboard Reporting with Excel, Kyd.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a huge list of data with numbers in cells. each number also has a corresponding percentage in the next cell over. In some cases, some of the numbers appear twice with differentiating percentages in the cells. What I am trying to do is automatically highlight and delete the duplicate number with the lower of the two percentages. See the below example.
2069091%
2069088%
As per above, I would want to delete the duplicate number with the 88% since it is the lower of the two percentages of that number. I have almost 2000 cells and have been going through manually deleting the lower of the two percentages for the duplicate numbers.
I've got four tables with negative and positive values and want to determine the largest magnitude of a subset of four values within those four tables. In other words if the largest magnitude is negative I want the negative value of the four subsets or vise-versa.
I've tried the following but got an error stating it was too long:
= IF(ABS(VLOOKUP(table1)) = MAX(ABS(VLOOKUP(table1)), ABS(VLOOKUP(table2)), ABS(VLOOKUP(table3)), ABS(VLOOKUP(table4))), VLOOKUP(table1), IF(ABS(VLOOKUP(table2)) = MAX(ABS(VLOOKUP(table1)), ABS(VLOOKUP(table2)), ABS(VLOOKUP(table3)), ABS(VLOOKUP(table4))), VLOOKUP(table2), IF(ABS(VLOOKUP(table3)) = MAX(ABS(VLOOKUP(table1)), ABS(VLOOKUP(table2)), ABS(VLOOKUP(table3)), ABS(VLOOKUP(table4))), VLOOKUP(table3), VLOOKUP(table4))))
The repeating line needs attention in my mind:
MAX(ABS(VLOOKUP(table1)), ABS(VLOOKUP(table2)), ABS(VLOOKUP(table3)), ABS(VLOOKUP(table4)))
So what I have is a large list of items, and each item has the price of the product, and a product type.
