How To Match Data Patterns Across Multiple Columns
Apr 14, 2009
I am using Excel 2007 and I need to search for data patterns that are spread across many columns. I am not sure how to search so that criteria is met across all the columns concurrently.
For example
I am interested in data that matches the following criteria ;
Column B has the value 55
Column C has the value 70
Column D has the value 80
Rows of interest are when all the criteria in columns B,C,D are met at the same time (e.g 55 in B, 70 in C and 80 in D).

I wish to add more criteria to the "Find Feature to Find 3 Matching Criteria in 3 Columns in Excel" (http://www.ozgrid.com/VBA/advanced-find.htm) up to 7 criteria if possible. How can I do this? I wish to display the results in a dialog box or in a different sheet. I also want to run the find feature from a different worksheet, perhaps using a button instead of having to make a selection in the table.

Any formula that can look at the data in multiple columns and check for a match - returning a value such as YES or NO. Below is an example of my sheet.
A
B
C
D
E
F
G
1
Name
Number
Name
Number
Name
Number
Match?
[Code] ..........
Basically the formula would be in Column G and would look at B, D, & F to see if they match or not. In the example above - row two - they all match. So a True, 1, or Text option such as YES would be great. Same as row 3 only you can see they are different.

I have 3 calculations I would like to make based on data in the spread sheet and I can't seem to get them to work with data from the two separate columns.
I tried a few of the index match max formulas I found here and could only get them to work with one column of data.
I have the spread sheet attached and the 3 calks I want to do are blank on the bottom.
I am using Excel 2011 for Mac

I have the following code for identifying the 1,3,2 patterns from sheet1 and it copy pastes those rows into sheet2. I was wondering if there is a way to modify this code to delete those patterns once it has identified them instead of pasting them into sheet2. In other word,s sheet2 needs to contain every other data except those identified patterns.
VB:
Sub test()
Dim myPtn As String, txt As String, m As Object, n As Long, LastR As Range
Dim ws1 As Worksheet, ws2 As Worksheet, myStep As Long, i As Long, t As Long
myStep = 10000 '<- change here if needed.
Set ws1 = Sheets("sheet1")
Set ws2 = Sheets("sheet2")
[Code]...

I need to find all rows that have columns that match in all 3 of the columns.
I then need to delete all but the last row in each "group" of rows.
like:
1 q w e
2 q w r
3 q w r
4 q w r
Delete rows 2+3

I have four columns of data, as follows:
label 1, value 1, label 2, value 2
I need to create a formula in the fith column that for each line will tell excel to:
look for entry in 'label 1' in 'label 2' if there is a match, then subtract value 1 from value 2, display result.
I have tried doing this with SUMIF but am getting nowhere fast....

I am trying to use the formula below
=INDEX($M$4:$AG$75,MATCH($D$3,$K$4:$K$75,0),MATCH(A6,$L$4:$AG$75,0))
The last MATCH function is where it fails, because the value I am looking at (A6) could be in one of 5 different columns between L and AG

I have data like this:
Code:
500a
TRUE470b
440c
TRUE410d
TRUE380e
350f
[Code]...
and I want to look up an approximate value in Col2, say 310, and return it's next-highest friend from Col3, in this case "g". This is easy enough with INDEX and MATCH. But I want to take it one step further and only use those values which are approved by Col1 - so in this case I want 310 to ACTUALLY return "e"
I found some good information here which gets me close. The following works very well. It uses a boolean & operator to match two values at once, but it only works for exact matches. This example goes down the list and finds the first "sydney" which has an "x" and gives the result "h".
Code:
xmelbournea
sydneyb
xadelaidec
xmelbourned
sydneye
[Code]....
When I use this approach on data like in my first example it falls over, my guess is because the boolean & falls down before the MATCH function has a chance to accept an approximate match.

I'm using an index array formula I learned here to lookup a value between 2 sheets in a workbook. I have had no trouble using it when matching just 2 pieces of information (first & last name), but now I need to make 3+ matches to get the value & the formula is no longer working.
When I check "show calculation steps" in the attached example, I can actually see that all 4 items have successfully matched across the 2 sheets but for some reason the formula is still not pulling in the desired value. Am I wrong to think that I can match more than 2 items w/ this kind of a formula?

Do you see how in columns C and D they all match EXCEPT for row 4? How do I delete allllll the rows that when c and d match.
I want to keep the ones that DO NOT MATCH.
P.S I HAVE 4000 ROWS I WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH

I've got a problem where I am trying to return a value if two criteria from one table match two from another.
I have included a example of my issue.
=INDEX(Time!D:D,MATCH(Data!A2,Time!A:A,0)*AND(MATCH(Data!C2,Time!C:C,0)))
I have had a look around lots of forums but cant get my head around what is wrong with my formula

Below is a table of data I am trying to sum. In the first column, is the account code, second column has the Hotel number code, third column is the description and the 4-6 columns have amounts for March, April and May.
I am trying to sum the data for March, April and May for account 107000 using this formula, but it is only picking up the first row.
=-IFERROR(SUM(OFFSET(PnL!$C$9,MATCH($A29,INDEX(PnL!$A$10:$A$500,0),0),1,1,ControlMonth)),0) to sum
FYI:
PnL!$c$9 = is the block referred to as C9 below
$A29 contains 107000
PnL$A$10 is the block below A9 below
ControlMonth is currently set to 3

I am trying to find min value for a row (product price) within two columns (price lists) and return row one (company name) in third column ( see the attachmet). My first idea was to use “min” and “if” but a problem occur when there are text or zero or none values in the price list. I tried with conditional formatting, offset function, match-index and other methods without success

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.

I need to Index & Match the Max Value for 3 separate columns labeled "Price". The columns are not adjacent and cannot be moved. I am able to get the Max for the 3 Price columns using:
=MAX($L$12:$L$45,$O$12:$O$45,$R$12:$R$45).
However, I need the matching value in column D labeled "Int. SF". I can only do this for one column at a time so far using this formula
=INDEX($D$12:$D$45,MATCH(MAX($L$12:$L$45),$L$12:$L$45,0)).
When I try to use all 3 columns with Index & Match
=INDEX($D$12:$D$45,MATCH(MAX($L$12:$L$45,$O$12:$O$45,$R$12:$R$45),$L$12:$L$45&$O$12:$O$45&$R$12:$R$45,0)), #VALUE! is the answer.
If I enter it as an array, the answer is #N/A. I tried making the 3 columns into a table (which I named Price1) and tried the formula again
=INDEX($D$12:$D$45,MATCH(MAX(Price1),Price1,0)),
But that did not work either.
I tried using a V-Lookup, but can only get results for the first column, not the other two. I've attached my spreadsheet.

Im trying to have a formula look at two diferent columns and if they meet the criteria add the third column.
I tried using sumproduct but It wont give me anything but error messages or a zero.
Looks like this
=SUMPRODUCT(A:A="Stewart",(G:G="Fiduciary"),C:C)
Need it to say:
if column A = Stewart and Column B = Fiduciary then add up the amount in Column C

I cant get this one off the ground. Normally I am pretty good to find bits and pieces of advice from other posts and put something together, but this one has me stuck from the get-go. I want to create several lists based upon the row(s) containing at least one set of criteria (day and time, contained in two differnt columns). Each row allows for up to 3 sets of days and times (i.e. columns B and C, columns D and E, and columns F and G) Each row is date and time stamped as to when the data was entered in that row (column H).
I want one list for each set of the various day/time combinations allowed in columns B thru G. The list should provide the name(s) contained in column A, in chronological order based on column H, when a criteria match is made in columns B:C, D:E, or F:G. This is far easier to understand with the attached sample. The lower section of the sample represents my desired output that I cannot seem to achieve.

I have a worksheet that has four columns. FName LName FName1 LNanme1. The data doe snot match between the columns... but I need to know which are in both columns.
I need to write a formula that will allow me to compare the LName with LName1 and give me some type of indication there is a match (1, yes, etc.). Ideally, after confirming there is a match, It would create another verification that FName and FName1 also match, but that is not necessary.

I basically have a list of 4000 names in one column (A) and an extract from a report containg 26000 names, again in one column (B). I need to see which of the 4,000 names in (A) appear in the column (B) from the report.
How can I do something to either line up the names, or make them change colour or something so I can see the matches?

Column A has donor name, column B has corresponding donation data for 2011. Column C has donor name, and column D has donation data for 2012. Column E has donor name, and column F has corresponding donation data for 2013.
Although Columns A and C and E all have donor names, there are many changes
from year to year with the addition and deletion of certain donors so the rows do not match up exactly. Is there a quick way to have the rows match up according to donor names in column each of the three columns? Secondarily, I need to sort by donation amount from highest to lowest (it can either be the total over the three years or based on any single year.
Currently my list looks like this:
2011 2012 2013
A A A
B C B
D D C
F E D
H F I
L G K
M H M
I would like it to look like this:
2011 2012 2013
A A A
B - B
C C -
- D-
- E-
F F F
G G G
H - -
L - L
- - M
Basically, I want to see the year over year giving for each donor. I've attached a sample for refrence. (I can't post the original due to confidentiality requirements.)

1. i am comparing text
2. i have >100 countries, and with vlookup i have to type every single one, and this is what i want to escape (mb i need to refer to an array, or string, or no idea)
3. mb a solution could be sth with index, or match, i just tried it, copying some similar formula from www, but it didn't match the countries, and return the value respective for that country.
E.g. I have China in col1 (1st file), #employees 10 in col2 (1st file), and China in Col 1 in 2nd file. So, a formula should match China & China from both files, and return 10 as number of employees.

I have 3 columns of data and 30,000+ rows. Column A & B are related and column C contains some of the same values as column B but not an exact match. I'm looking for a way to sort columns A & B so that columns B & C match up and the data from column A is moved as well. For any data that has no match, a blank space should be input. Please see below.
A B C
red dog cat
blue cat dog
green mouse pig

I have names is Column A (about 200) and names in Column B (about 800) along with additional info in other columns. Column A was just added to an existing spreadsheet and will be deleted once I accomplish my task. The goal is to come up with the 200 names in column A along with the additional info in the other columns (address, phone) and to delete all of remaining names in B (about 600, 800-200) I'm trying to figure out the most efficient way to do this. I'm not sure if there is a function to match the text in Column A to Column B and at the same time move the row in Column A to match the row the name is located in Column B.
For example John Smith is currently in A1 and John Smith is in B7 and then John's phone number is in C7. I want the John Smith in A1 to move to A7. If I can make that happen for all 200 names I will then delete all rows with no entry in column A.

I am trying to write a macro that will take data from column A and use it as a column header in column C, and then take the corresponding data in column B and list it under the column header in column C. When the value in column A changes it will move on to column D and then list the corresponding data from column B underneath it in column D until all of the data in the 2 columns is spread across the worksheet.
