How To Identify Column Position Based On Lookup Value
Nov 10, 2011
I will be working with an array of data approx 500 rows by 50 columns (eg Sheet1!$A$1:$CV$500) in which I will need to check if approx 1000 unique values exist and in which column they appear in. Each unique value should not appear in more than 1 column. Once identified, I need to return the header value at the top of the relevant column.
My thoughts on approach would be perform a lookup of some sort to identify the column number and then use that within an index formula to return the header value based on the column number.
However, I'm not sure how to perform a lookup to get the column number. A match formula can, as far as I am aware, only lookup against a single column or single row.

I am trying to create a schedule using colors. The colors will indicate the start time, break time, lunch time, break time (second break) and end time. see attached document.
Thank you for attempting to solve this puzzle using formulas and or VBA code. I am trying to automate the schedule so the numerical times automatically appear when I "paint" the schedule.

I have a worksheet which records whether a form was filled out in a specific time period . Now I'm down to the last fews bits.... See on the example attached (Sheet is TOP Report) - I have now managed to put formulas in to work out if the TOP was done in a particular time window, however I now need to figure out for each client which windows were missed, e.g on row 7 I can see by looking that the client missed windows 1 and 4, but is there a way to get excel to tell me this without me having to read each line??

I'm trying to calculate a figure in a report tab that reads off the data tab and looks for a specific column based on the header of that column. My explanation is admittedly poor but I've attached a sample file with an outline of what I'm trying to do which I hope makes things clearer.

I have a spreadsheet an excerpt of which is as follows:
K L M N
1 Doors Security Vehicle Key
2 TRUE FALSE FALSE FALSE
3 FALSE TRUE TRUE FALSE
4 FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE
Want I want to happen is to return the column header where there for a cell which contains "TRUE" in a blank column. If there isn't a cell with the value "TRUE" then to return "N/A". In the above example in blank column P for Row 2 would be "Doors", Row 3 would be "Security,Vehicle" and Row 4 would be "N/A".
In my actual spreadsheet I have 12 columns (L to W) which have the TRUE or FALSE values.
I know it has something to do with either HLOOKUP, INDEX and MATCH but can't seem to get it right. Any ideas?

I'm looking to create a small section of VBA code on Excel 2007 that looks for a specific date on a column and then pastes a value on the correct row.
I have weekly dates in columns along the top of my spreadsheet on row 3:
C3 = 07/11/08
D3 = 14/11/08
E3 = 21/11/08
etc...
The row further down the spreadsheet that I wish to use is selected by previous code and could be any row number within column B.
I need a snippet of code that searches for a particular date along row 3, and then once it finds the correct column, it pastes the value in the corresponding cell on my active row.
For example, if my active cell/row happens to be on B18, and the date I'm looking for happens to be on L3, I need to paste a value into cell L18.
I imagine there needs to be some form of HLookup, but I've no idea how to implement this in VBA code.

Ceating a macro to perform a look up and return based on column headers.
General Synopsis: Using a call and parameters to choose a lookup column and return column, and their respective sheets. Then the sub routine finding their respective column headers and perform a lookup/return. Essentially the current problem is the macro runs to slowly.

I'd like a formula that'll return the column header by matching a lookup value with a table in the second sheet.
eg: sheet 1
Name
Cell
Region
John
111-2222
[Code] .......
The formula should match the name in A2, John, with value from the table in sheet 2 and return the correct region, this case North.

I'm looking for a formula (VBA I'm assuming) that will help me create a unique customer ID out of data that my website generates in order to import records into my accounting system.
I have a current list of customers in CSV format with the columns: CustomerID, CustomerName, CustomerZip
Each customer in our accounting system is assigned a unique,7 digit CustomerID in the format of XXX#### where XXX are the first 3 letters of their last name, and #### is a 4 digit number (with leading 0's) to create unique ID's for customer with the same first 3 characters of their last name. SAMPLE LIST:
SCH0001, Lindsey Schubert, 75230
SCH0002, Thomas Schoembs, 53132
ADA0001, Samantha Adams, 28205
...
What I'd like to do is pass the formula 3 parameters (Cust_First_Name, Cust_Last_Name, Zip) and have it parse the .CSV file and either return an existing customer's current ID or generate the appropriate new, unique ID, making sure in increase the 4 digit # accordingly and insert leading 0's if necessary.
Another caveat, if possible to work with, is the ability to also pass the formula another range of cells to append to the end of the .CSV file's data for comparison reasons. There are times when I'll bulk-import orders (or we receive numerous in the same batch) and the potential exists to have two customers that would have the same CustomerID created using JUST the .CSV data. Ie. If we use the example above and have new customers of Steve Schwab and Julie Schwitzer - we'd end up incorrectly assigning them both SCH0003, where if we'd read Steve Schwab's newly created info and customer ID of SCH0003, then Schwitzer would correctly be assigned SCH0004.

The logic of the formula like this....
TAB X, Column A contains a data set, each row is a unique value. In column B of TAB X, I want to input a formula that performs the following logic: Search TAB Z, Column C, for an exact match of data contained in TAB X, Column A....and if found, look in TAB Z, Column D...if a blank cell is contained there, then in TAB X, Column A, say "Unsettled" ; however, if there does exist any character (not-blank) in TAB Z Column D, then in TAB X, COlumn A, say "Settled".....but, if the data ID listed in TAB X, column A is not found whatsoever in TAB Z, Column C, then say "NOT FOUND". So for example, within TAB X, Column A there is a unique ID in one of the rows "ABC123", then searches "ABC123" in TAB Z, Column C. If found, it looks in TAB Z, Column D and that cell is blank, so TAB X, Column B, same row that contains ABC123, the result is "Unsettled".

I have this code below that deletes any single occurrence of a customer number but the "Customer Numbers" must be in column A.
I would like to change the code below to instead look for the "Customer Number" column by name, rather than by column A. My "Customer Number" column will always be in row 1, but yet, it will be in a different column letter every time I run the report.

I have a worksheet (say, Sheet1) that I am going to manually import a large data set into on a weekly basis for reporting purposes. One of the columns from this data dump will have the header "Design Id" in the first row, but it may not be in the same column every time. I am trying to figure out how to create dropdown lists on a separate worksheet (say, Sheet2) in the same workbook where the data source always looks up the column containing the header "Design Id" from Sheet1 and then returns only the unique values from that column as options in the list.

I have a spreadsheet of several thousand named items (in column B) with values associated with them in column A). The "name" field is a string of several alternative names for the item.
I have a list of ~50 items that I am trying to find the values for. Each uses one of the alternate names.
What I want is a function that will return the associated value in column A when one of my shortlist names is found.
For example, my big spreadsheet looks like:
AB
1dallas, DFW. 12345
2Atlanta, ATL, 23456
3Boston, BOS, 34567
4Chicago, CHI, 45678
5Los Angles, LA, LAX, 56789
And my list looks like
Atlanta
CHI
I want the output to look something like:
Atlanta2
CHI 4
Is the feasible? IT seems like there should be a way to do it....

I have created the following attachment to illustrate my problem. I have a square matrix -- say a 10x10 matrix (with data in B2:K11, and column headings on row 1, row headings on column A). I would like to get the sum of products of two columns in the result section below -- cells B14:K23, based on the position of the formula.
For example, cell B14 is the 1,1 item of the matrix so I would like to get the sumproduct of B2:B11 and B2:B11 (or SUMSQ(B2:B11) in this case); alternatively cell I16 is element 8,3 in the matrix so I need to get sumproduct of I4:I11 and D4:D11.
I tried the following formula using the OFFSET function (for cell B14 which is then copy/pasted throughout B14:K23)

HTML Imagine the following table (Ax, etc is the cell position):
A1=John C1=Name D1=Date E1=Version F1=IP
A2=10/2/2008 C2=A1 D2=A2 .... ....
A3=Client version 7.01 C3=A1+5pos D3=A2+5pos
A4=172.24.3.5 C4=A1+10pos D4=A2+10pos
A6=Michael
A7=10/2/2009
A8=Client version 7.03
A9=172.24.3.80
A11=Susan
A12=2/2/2007
A13=Client version 7.02
A14=172.24.3.200
I have a table of data on the left side and I want to re-organize just like the right side. Let's take C2 as an example, the value for that cell = A1;
Now, C3 in the other hand, the value for that cell = A1 + 5 positions down;
C4 = A1 + 10 positions down;. The same type of formula applies for the remaining columns on the right. This seems like an easy solution, but it's not easy when you don't know it... :

I'm trying to find out how can I fill a range of cells when clicking in a Command button in Excel. The process should be:
1) The user opens my XLS worksheet.
2) Goes to the next empty row and fill some specific fields
3) Then he should fill up 15 parameters on the right as Y or N
4) In case all of them are correct instead of going one by one typing "Y" I want he clicks in a button (with VBA code associated) and then 15 cells on the right should be filled with "Y" value

I have e.g. 3 colums, A, B and C.
In column A there is A number on every row.
In column B there is a number on ever row.
In column C I want to compile a new list such that if a number in column B is X (eg 1) the number from column A at the corresponding cell should be copied to column C. I want there to be no empyt cells in column C. So for the list below, the number in column A should be copied to C if its corresponding B cell is 0.

Then column E is hidden, regardless of whether Test is moved left or right. The reason Test moves is due to the user inserting or deleting a column.

is there a way to highlight the highest value in a column.
=MAX(A1:A50) will write the highest value in whatever field the formula is written in, but is there a way for the number itself to be highlighted in its given location within the colum.For example, if A 21 contains the highest value in column A, can that cell be highlighted?

I have an excel file (2003 version) with one sheet called sheet1.
On sheet1 I have multiple text boxes, however each text box has the same text box number "Text Box 1244" (this number appears in the top left-hand side in excel when I click the textbox).
I was wondering if it's possible to rename the text boxes based on their location on the sheet.
Eg. If i had a sheet with 5 rows of text boxes and 3 columns of text boxes (15 text boxes in total).
The top left-hand box gets renamed to "Text Box 1", then the text box below that gets renamed to "Text Box 2" and so on to the bottom of the sheet to "Text Box 5". Then the vba script would move to the text box that was to the right of the first text box (1st row again but 2nd column), and rename all the text boxes in that column ("Text Box 6" onward).
The outcome would look something like:
TB1 TB6 TB11
TB2 TB7 TB12
TB3 TB8 TB13
TB4 TB9 TB14
TB5 TB10 TB15
I'm stuck on this problem a while now and cannot find any scripts to solve it. My VBA is non-existent, I usually get by on bits of code I find on the web.
I hope each textbox has a hidden co-ordinate associated with it, then it might be possible to loop through all the textboxes based on their positions and rename them.
