Vlookup Not Selecting Source Data

Feb 12, 2010

I am having trouble with a number of workbooks when using vlookup (using the wizard rather than entering the formula directly)

First I select the cell with lookup value, then try to select the table array on the source sheet but the cursor changes to the hand symbol and I can't click on any cells. I have had this problem with many different workbooks. The only solution I have found is to copy the whole sheet, paste-special-values into a new sheet and use that as source.

VLOOKUP Modification: Modify The Lookup Array Key

May 12, 2006

it's possible to set a "key" for a vlookup so that one of the parameters of that key can be any value? For example if the data set key used in the lookup contains a concatenation of 4 parameters (a_b_c_d), is there anyway to modify the lookup array key so that the "c" parameter can be anything, ie. something like a_b_*_d ?

Pivot Table Retains Old Source Data In Addition To New Source Data

Sep 7, 2006

I have a report that was created for 2005 that contains two worksheets: a "source data" worksheet and a " pivot table" worksheet. I cleared out the 2005 data in the "source data" worksheet and replaced it with 2006 data...after this I refreshed the Pivot Table and everything seemed fine. When looking at the file size I noticed that it was almost twice its original size....upon further investigation I found that the Pivot Table was internally holding onto the old source data (the "Show" functionality of the rows/columns in the table lists the 2005 row/column headers as well as the 2006 headers....even though no data from 2005 is shown in the Pivot Table).

Does anyone know how to purge the old data from the internal Pivot Table memory?

I hope this is enough information....let me know if you need more.

Thanks in advance for any help,

Jon

Changing Formula Data Source

Oct 16, 2006

I've a set of excel sheets reading from a single excel data source, the only problem is that the data source is constantly changing, for example:

=DCOUNT('T:GreenbeltProductivity ToolWeek 42[Dept Overall and Data Entry.xls]Insert Data - Current Position'!A:F,5,AC139:AD140)

The week number is the only bit of the code that needs to change week on week, to update the data source on all the sheets and I'd like to password protect the data source.

Copying Formula Down With Horizontal Source Data

May 26, 2013

I am trying to copy a formula in B38, down to B36

My formula needs to refer to data in of cells in a horizontal succession, G1, H1,, I1...etc

Copying my formula down from B38 causes the formula to refer to G1, then G2, G3... instead of G1, H1, I1 ...

The exact formula in B38 is: =$B$3*(G3*(1-$D$13))

Where G3 should advance to H3, when I drag to copy the formula from B38 to B39. Instead, G3 advances to G4.

Formula To Fill Cells Vertically From Source Data Which Is In Horizontal Format?

Jun 14, 2013

I have a formula in cell A1 that I need to drag downwards so that it fills cells A2 to A10. That formula is picking up the figures located in another sheet but the figures on that sheet are arranged horizontally (A1 to J1). Is there a formula to perform this action? I've tried playing around with the $ sign in my formulas but it does not work.

Hiding Source To VLookup?

Sep 17, 2013

I current have a Vlookup looking at the source data in another workbook stored in a drive so that only limited people have access. Because this information is linked to a drive I thought that it wouldn't return a value if you didn't have access to the drive but I was wrong. Is there a way to remove the Vlookup information if you don't have access to the drive?

Add 2 Conditions To Formula Or Modify Existing Formula?

Dec 22, 2012

I'm trying to add either a new condition to a formula or modify existing formula, so blank cells can't be taken as a number like 0 Here is the formula =IF(N14>0,1,0)

***This is what I do with formulas with similar problems =IF(COUNT(Y14,A14)=2,Y14/A14*100,"")

unfortunately the above condition its already a condition by itself so I don't know what to do whether to modify condition or add a new condition which I don't know how to do.

Inserting VLookup With Variable Source Name With VBA?

Feb 23, 2012

I'm trying to create a macro that will open automatically generated report outputs and manipulate the data.

The macro will run from it's own workbook (Report Macro.xls), sheets / cells within this workbook are available as 'helpers'.

So far what I have working ok is;

Via a browse dialogs in a userform in Report Macro.xls I select 5 different report outputs. I'm storing the full filename & path in Sheet Data, Cells B1:B6 (B1 being the filename & path to the macro file). In column C I have just the filename

The first file is opened and manipulated as required. The next thing I need to do with it is to open the second file (filename / path in B3) and put a Vlookup in cell 02 of the first file which will look for data in the second (the second file will only ever have a single sheet).

As a formula I'd be using

Code:
=VLOOKUP(A2,'Email 22FEB12.XLS'!$B$7:$C$13120,2,FALSE)
In VBA if I use;

Code:
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=VLOOKUP(RC[-14],'Email 22FEB12.XLS'!R7C2:R13120C3,2,FALSE)"
It works great. However, the second filename will change and I need to take it from the macro file, sheet 'Data', cell 'C3'.

How can I use the contents of sheet Data, cell C3 in the VBA code above instead of the filename being hard-coded?

Modify Formula From Sum To Count

I need it to count instead of sum. These are array formulas so in order for them to currently work you must press ctrl shift enter.

Macro - Merge & Modify Formula

Dec 17, 2009

I use the merge button a lot for a group of cells in a column. However then I have to edit the formula in the merged cells.

I'm hoping there is a macro that can be made to bring these together.

Here's an example of what I do:

select range C2:C4. Cell C2 contains the formula =sum(B2)
merge these cells.

edit formula in new merged cell to be =sum(B2:B4)

Can I group this process into one macro?

For example: I have "=B2" in a cell of my worksheet, and I need some code to select and increment that by 1 so it becomes "=B3". I know how to use the ActiveCell.Offset command, as shown below, to select a specific cell so that it can then be modified, but I can't figure out how to make the actual change.

How To Change Source File Without Affecting VLookup Formulas

Jun 6, 2013

I have an excel file - central database - that holds a lot of raw data organized in tables. There are more than 15 files (dependent files) that access this data using VLOOKUP formulas.

I now need to add a few columns to the central database and these columns can't be after the columns already existing, i.e. they have to be on the left of some of the existing columns. Inserting those columns is going to mess up all the vlookup formulas in the dependent files.

Is there a way change the central database file without affecting the vlookup formulas in the dependent files?

Concat Two Cells In The Source Worksheet And Vlookup Into The Defs Sheet

Aug 26, 2009

I've used vlookup before but his #REF problem has me stumped.

I want to concat two cells in the Source worksheet and vlookup into the Defs sheet, but I keep getting #REF(G4:G6) when I want to return the 2nd column in the Defs sheet. What's curious is when I modify the vlookup to return the 1st column I correctly get the lookup cells(G6:G9).

What's wrong with the formula in G4.

My requirement is I can't change the format of the Source worksheet because it contains macros that work with ERwin. And it is MUCH bigger than the attached sample so I will copy/paste the formula down 6000+ cells.

Excel 2010 :: VLookup Between 2 Workbooks Taking Into Account Duplicates On Source?

Mar 28, 2013

I've got 3 columns of formulas that end up doing what I need, but I'm thinking it could probably be done easier with VBA.

I have 1 book with a sheet I'll call Log & another book with a sheet I'll call Source. On the Log, column E has the first 9 characters of vendor names & /vendor number (ex: EDMUND FI/00250), along with other data out through column P. On Source, the vendor names are in C & a short code for their name is in A.

I need to compare the first 9 characters in Log col E with the first 9 characters in Source col C. When a match is found, I need to return the short code from Source col A. BUT - if there's a duplicate in either Source col C or A, instead I need to return the word VERIFY, preferably with the cell highlighted in red.

Right now, I have, on Source col L:

Code:
=MID(C2,1,9)
and in source M:

Code:
=IF(OR(A2=A1,A2=A3,L2=L1,L2=L3),"VERIFY",A2)
This gives me the first 9 characters of the vendor name in L & the short code OR VERIFY in M

Then, in Log col R, I have an array formula:

Code:
=VLOOKUP(MID(E4,1,9),'[PRETICKET P ADDRESSES working.xls]Paddress'!$L:$M,2,FALSE)

This gives me either the short code or VERIFY from Source M. Also, sometimes it doesn't find a match & it returns #N/A. Then I have to do Conditional Formatting to make the VERIFY cells red & I thought I'd make the error cells be yellow (although I haven't figured out the CF for that yet)

Is there a better way to do this with VBA? I'm working with Excel 2010; just got it & still figuring it out.

Modify The Formula Entries In The Following Code To Cycle Or Loop Through All Checks Required

I'm working on a spreadsheet to compile and print checks. All the check information except the date and first check number is contained in a Wins sheet.

Modify Data Within A Column In A .csv File

I have been given a .csv file of several thousand rows, and I need to
change column A of each. The brief cutout below shows column A of the
first two rows. (I need to skip the first row, which is the headers.)
Kinda clumsy to have such a wide column, but the application this file
is to be fed after I change the contents requires all the data
separated by double-quotes to be in the one column....

Using List Of Data With Wildcards In VLookup Formula As Lookup Value?

Mar 8, 2013

I have a list of rules on how to group account numbers. An example is below. I have a very long list of full account numbers (no wildcards). There are roughly 75 rules on how to group the over 40,000 accounts. I want to use the vlookup to determine what group each full account number (always 11 characters) would belong to? It seems that the vlookup isn't treating the ?'s as wildcards. I can use the full account number rules with the wildcards in the cell in the sumif function though.

So ultimately I would like to have my list of account numbers like 40000000000 and 40000000001 know that they belong in group 1 based on the rule table below.

Full Account Number
Account
Subaccount
Group
