How To VLOOKUP Varying Text From The Right Of Cell
Oct 12, 2012
I am trying to run a VLOOKUP that allows me to reference all text (which can vary in length) in a cell up to the first '' from the right of the string. Also note that the master table of data being retrieved from is in another workbook. For example:
TestSalesDealsPlans - I just want to reference Plans (5 characters up until but not include '')
TestSalesDealsOrder Management - I just want to reference Order Management which obviously has more characters than the above example 'Plans' (16 characters up until but not include '')
I am fairly certain I will need to nest several functions such as RIGHT, VLOOKUP, MATCH, INDEX, etc but just not sure the most effective way to go about this.

I need to find text within middle of a string.
Character before required text is say AAA
Character after required text is say BBB
Text required can vary in length.
Extract text and place in another column.
All text in a single column, required text not in every line. but
does repeat.

I am attempting to have cells in Column 'U' deliver different drop-down menus based on the corresponding value in column 'D'. I have created 7 named lists:
List_117G
List_152
List_JMET
List_XBAND
List_PACWIND
List_VORTEX
List_ROVER
Those lists will be called up based on 7 values in column “D”:
“G”
“152”
“J”
“X”
“D/E”
“V”
“R”
So far I have only been able to get this to work for the first category “G”. When I change the value of column “D” from “G” to “152” I no longer get a drop-down. Here is the formula I am using in the List function of validation.
=IF(D6="G",List_117G,IF(D6="152",List_152,IF(D6="J",List_JMET,IF(D6="X",List_XBAND,
IF(D6="D/E",List_PACWIND,IF(D6="V",List_VORTEX,IF(D6="R",List_ROVER,)))))))

There are 11,000 rows and 4,000 are unique. The goal is to merge the data down to the 4,000 records. Each of the unique entries shows up 1 to 15 times.
In trying to solve this, I wonder if I should break this down into the different # of occurances and implement specific solutions. e.g., There are
5700 entries that show up 2x
504 that show up 3x
24 that show up 12x

I want to call a macro with a varying name that is within a module with the same name.
I have a module called Test1 and within this, a macro name called test1
I have a module called Test2 and within this, a macro name called test2
etc
On another module called Test8 (with the macro called Test8), this Test8 macro will call either Test1 or Test2 or Test3 etc depending on what I choose in an excel spreadsheet. So on sheet1, cell A1, there is a drop down with the options Test1 or Test2 or Test3 etc.
The following works to run the macro test1 from module test1 (when it does not vary i.e. i physically put in the name of the macro myself):
Sub Test3()
Test1.Test1
End Sub
The following works to run the macro test2 from module test2 (when it does not vary i.e. i physically put in the name of the macro myself):
Sub Test3()
Test2.Test2
End Sub
etc
However, if I try it so that the calling of the macro varies as below , it does not work:
Sub Test3()
MacroToCall = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Value
MacroToCall.MacroToCall
End Sub

I have a column of data that contains suburb, state and postcode (zip code). I can extract the postcode quite easily using:
=RIGHT(H2,4)
However, sometimes there is one word for the suburb, and other times there are two or more words. Also, the state abbreviation contains either two or three letters:
MARYBOROUGH QLD 4650
BRAY PARK QLD 4500
TEA TREE GULLY SA 5091
Does anyone know of any code I could use to extract the three pieces of information into three new columns? (I.e. Suburb, State, Postcode)
I imagine the formula would contain some method of counting the number of paces; however, the number of spaces between each word may be more than one space.

I am trying to extract dates from text strings of varying lengths. The date may appear anywhere in the string. The dates are all 8 characters, in the mm/dd/yy format.
For example:
12/12/2007 is the date in this string.
There is a date of 12/12/2007 in this string.
The date in this string is 12/12/2007.

I have figured out certain formulas that can get me pieces of the text substring, I am having difficulty finding an all in one solution that will allow me to run a macro and automate this process due to the nature of variability of the # of characters in the text string. The category and what I need to extract is as follows (Michigan Missing Zips roll up I can deal with):
MWR - Illinois - HORIZONTAL LATHES
MWR - Illinois
MWR - Illinois - MACHINING CENTERS - HORIZONTAL & OTHER
MWR - Illinois
MWR - Illinois - MACHINING CENTERS - VERTICAL
MWR - Illinois
[Code] ..............

I am trying to identify some combination of formulas or functions that will allow me to adjust the cell reference within a function based on a value in another cell. For example, I have a series of values listed from cell C50 to cell W50. I want to use a function to calculate the internal rate of return over a range of the cells: =IRR(C50:W50)
So far, so good.
However, I want the size of the range to be determined by a value entered in another cell, let's say B2. If the value in cell B2 is "5", I would want the formula to consider only the first five columns: =IRR(C50:G50). If the value in cell B2 is "10", I would want the formula to consider only the first ten columns: =IRR(C50:L50).

I am trying to do a vlookup and am having soem issues. I have data like this in the cell i am using as the reference: "60030 - COLUMBUS, OH". The first column of the range I am searching would have "60030" in it. What i need to know is how do I get the vlookup to just reference the first 5 digits in the reference cell? As you can see by the formula below, I set the logical value to true hoping that it would find the closest value, but it did not work. =VLOOKUP(A7,sdoalign,3,TRUE)

I was wondering if there would be a way to use vlookup and still be able to type text in the same cell. For example, if the vlookup gives me a result of 123. I want it to also pull from a different cell that I've typed in 321. So the resulting cell would show 321-123 or 321 123. I have attached a sample sheet. On sheet two where the 3 items are, I want it to display 321-123 for item 1, 321-234 for item 2, and 321-345 for item 3. The 321 would be dependant on what I type into B1 on the first sheet.

I do have a price list for my inventory for each product code (only letters)
E.g. productA 100
productB 200
When I'm writing in the order list, I'm writing in a single cell product code + size e.g. productA 5, productB 7
I need to get the corresponding price for each cell.

I want to automate the process of updating my football stats and have delved into getting my data from the web. I have managed to import a football league onto my "standings" sheet but I want my "strengths" sheet to read it's values from this new "standings" sheet.
The "standings" sheet is broken down into 2 tables (home & away) one above the other.
The values I want are Home Games, Away Games, Home Goals For, Away Goals For, Home Goals Against And Away Goals Against from both the home table and the away table. The main problem I have is that the cell information I need is likely to change as I update the league tables from the web. So say one week Team A's data is in row 7 the following week it could be in row 8 so i need the data to correlate with the team name cell in my "strengths" sheet.
So at the moment Atromitos Home games (cell B8 on my strengths sheet) needs the value from cell C8 on my "standings" sheet but by next week it could need the value from C9.
Ps I am assuming that I can just just hit the refresh button on the ribbon and the data from the web site will update. Is this correct?

I am using VLOOKUP to match Account names in two tables.
If the names are made up of letters or letters+numbers the names match.
If the account names are purely numbers the names do not match.
All names are formatted as text.
I have tried using TRIM, numbers still do not match.

I'm trying to find a way to display the latest stage that my processes are in, in a specific cell. Looking at the attachment, basically I need to display in cell E2 that my "Process 01" is in "STAGE AB" (because that is the latest stage populated with the achievement date). So similarly, for row 3, it should state "STAGE L".

I have drop drown menus that allow you to select 1 of 3 choices and based on those a second set which lists the options for the first three (subset). Now depending on the second value I need to pull a set of x y coordinates that can be of varying length. '
Example
Drop down menu 1 1560, 1669, 1554. Drop down menu 2 1560-1,2,3,4 1669-a,b,c,d. This has been done now lets say I select 1560-1. I need the following to be pulled from a list, the data is a block.
1.00 1.543
1.23 -1.25
0.54 -2.75
This can be of any length.

I need to create a formula that will give me True or False if text in a cell matches any cells in a range.
For example:
Column A and B have text:
Account
Date
Name
Species
Column C has other and sometimes matching text:
Name
Deal
What formula would I use to find out if all cells in Columns A and B are represented in Column C?

I have spreadsheet A with 14 columns of data ie Col A to N, in Column I there are file names. Somewhere within the file names is the client code. The file names do not conform to a standard naming convention so the client code is not always in the same position or the same number of characters long. I have a separate spreadsheet (spreadsheet B) that has the list of client codes in column A and the associated business unit code in column B.
I want to be able to find the client code within the file name of spreadsheet A and then add the associated business unit code to column O

I have created a column using Data validation for the months Jan,Feb,Mar, etc etc till Dec. I set it up to use the First 3 letters of the month. I have another column setup to use vslookup to check the value of the cell with the drop down for the monts and then attach the number Jan is 1, Feb is 2, and so on. However the Vslookup is returning incorrect numbers for the months, like Jan is 4, which 4 should be Apr. Any way to correct this? The vslookup formula is as follows. =VSLOOKUP(G3,W1:X13,2). G3 is the drop for month, W3 in the table is for the month reference, and X3 would be the number associated for the month.

I want an IF function.
=IF(VLOOKUP(A1; TABLE; COLUMN; FALSE)=???; 0; VLOOKUP(A1; TABLE; COLUMN; FALSE))
or simply:
=IF("A1 begins with B"; 0; VLOOKUP(A1; TABLE; COLUMN; FALSE))
So want I want to do is to ONLY vlookup if in A1 it says "B". If it does, lookup B from table and set a value.
However, if the value in A1 is NOT "B", set value as zero.
The problem is also not as simple, because the "B" is actually not "B" but derivative "B's", so you will see "B A" "B B" "B C", and I want all the values that include B in the begining.
If you find it confusing just tell me a function where I can set true/false if A1 begins or not with the letter "B"
How to do it?

I need to be able to round a given number (stock required) up to the next multiple of another number (pack size), as in the attached example.
Also, is there a way I can round to the closest multiple, ie either up or down, depending on which multiple is closer? I haven't decided which way I want to go yet!

My data is as follows, all in one cell:
10015200 US Government Bonds 18,369,423.52
10012301 US Government Bonds 10,232.21
There are many varying lengths of digits. I am trying split off the numbers
to the right of US Government Bonds into another column. Here is my
formula:
=RIGHT(A7,IF(ISERROR(FIND(" ",A7)),LEN(A7),FIND(" ",A7)))
My result is 9,423.52. Its not pulling the whole number.
What do I need to change in the formula?

I have a spreadsheet that has different product codes that I want to link to their corresponding web pages.
At the moment I individually input the hyperlink into each cell using this common address http://www.ace-sales.co.uk/Catalog.aspx?search=25617 it is just the 5 digit code at the end that changes each time
Can I put a common hyperlink in all the product code cells, then just put the product code in the cell and then the hyperlink automatically links to products corresponding page?
