How To Return Exact Matches Only Using VLookup
Feb 13, 2007
I have the following formula which, if text is in A1, will lookup from a list of worker's comp codes to locate the code in A2 and return the wording for that
=IF(ISTEXT(A$1),VLOOKUP(A$2,Codes!$B$3:$C$720,2),"")
However, if there is not an exact match to the code in A2, it returns the wording for the next closest code.
Is there a way to make it so that it will only return the wording for the exact match and return "invalid code" if the number in A2 is not found on the list on the "Codes" sheet?

I am getting #N/A errors even when I have an apparently exact match in my
table array to the lookup value. I know that excel requires the formats to
be exactly the same and I can force the match if I copy the lookup value from
my table array and paste it into the worksheet. Is there an easy way to
"fix" my table array. The table array is a reference worksheet I have
created which has worked in the past.

I have a VLOOKUP formula which accesses work time per job number. I want the formula to return the exact amount of time per job - however, as the numbers hit zero, the formula returns invalid results that seem to be based on the nearest time to the zero.

Is it possible to use HLOOKUP without exact matches. e.g. < =HLOOKUP(E1,Actuals,2) > where E1 is "2009 October" and the lookup value in named range "Actuals" would be simply "Oct".

Most likely another very basic on...
2 worksheets.
Worksheet 1, holding all data in column C.
Worksheet 2, the value in column B.
In need for a function that list all exact matches of the values in worksheet 2 column B that are found in Column C of worksheet 1.
I got this VBA code that checks for the string in worksheet 2, column B, but it is a Instr, and I need a exact match and only the exact match. Is this difficult to modify and how?
Or would this be a regular array function?
(I would not need a macro, since the data change constantly and I prefer function as they update easily)
Function matchArray(ByVal testString As String, ByVal dataRange As Range, Optional IndexNum As Long) As Variant
Dim outRRay() As String
Dim rangeArray As Variant
Dim xColl As New Collection
Dim xVal As Variant
Dim rIndex As Long

I have a large worksheet in drive C: called 'hits.csv' that has manufacturer part numbers in column G and column L.
I need macro code to find all rows in the worksheet where the part number in each cell in column G is exactly the same as the part number on the same row in the corresponding cell in column L. The macro should then delete/remove all rows where there is no exact match.
Note: The part number in every cell in column G is the only thing that is in each cell in that column. However just to warn you that the part number in every cell in column L is at the beginning of each cell, followed by a space and then a description of the part.
Once it has done the above, I would also like this macro code to open a worksheet called 'partnumbers.csv' in drive C:. It should then compare the part numbers in column A of this file with the part numbers in the above worksheet ('hits.csv'). The cells in Column D of the file 'partnumbers.csv' all contains a price. Where the macro finds an exact match on the part numbers in these 2 files, it should copy the price from the cell in column D in the file 'partnumbers.csv', into Column K of the other file, 'hits.csv' where the match exists.

In my spreadsheet, on the first worksheet called "Working". Column A, called "Results", contains carrot ^ delineated string values in each cell (i.e."john^apple^pear^banana^grape^love^heart^pickle"). The majority of string values in every cell in my "Results" column match a "source" column of Pick-List Values, called "Fruits" in the same spreadsheet, however found in a different worksheet called "Lists" (also in Column A). I want to perform 3 functions against my "Results" Column on worksheet "Working":
1.) Report In Column B: Analyze column "Results" by cell and return carrot delineated string values for only those that match my "Fruits" Pick-List
2.) Report In Column C: Analyze column "Results" by cell and return carrot delineated string values for only those do not match my "Fruits" Pick-List
3.) Report In Column D: Identify and return all unique values in "Column C" as a List.
Attached is a simple example of what I'm trying to accomplish called " Sorting.xls"

Doing some job costing on our lowes invoice and am using SUMIF and asterisks to account for all the different names that get used for properties by the cashiers. An example of that range column is:
67TH AVE
19112 PONCA
51ST
STERLING
9420 67 ST
1503 SW 13TH
51ST
10818
19112 PONCA
19112 PONKA
I have formatted this whole column as text and get strange results from sumif when there are exact matches. For example the "10818" string is uniform through the spreadsheet and returns a result of 0.00 if entered as "*10818*" for criteria but returns the correct amount if I use "10818" or 10818 with no quotes.
It seems to be related to the text strings that contain just "numbers" as I'm having no trouble picking up exact matches when there are alpha characters.

is it possible to have a cell return all matches from a list and have the list of matches reduce as you type, then be able to select one item from the list? this is a typical feature on internet sites, but can it be done in Excel?

When an exact match to the lookup value is not found, the function goes to the highest value that is less than the lookup value.
What do I do if I want to return the closest value, but not less than the lookup value?
For exampe, in my screenshot, if my lookup value is 6 horsepower, I want to return the efficiency for the next highest value (if no exact match) for 7.5 HP. Function would return 89.5

Okay, so I have this project for my accounting computer applications class. I'm making it so much arder on myself than what it probably should be. But anyways, this project is a four year plan spreadsheet for the business/accounting division of the school. Inside the spreadsheet is a page that has 15 different tables, representing 5 years with 3 semesters each, fall spring and summer. On the requirements for the major chosen, I would like it to automatically recognize if the class has been placed in the semesters tables and recognize all of the information needed. The only problem is, a single vlookup only allows one table per cell but I need all 15.
I've heard of using the if statement along with these but I've only heard of it being done with a few tables and not 15, and I don't understand how exactly that works anyways.

I have a work book with 2 sheets and am trying to compare 2 columns in sheet 1 with 2 colums in sheet 2. In both the sheet one column among the 2 is off date and other one is some numbers.
I am looking for formula or macro which would compare the cols and highlight if date is common in sheet 1 and 2 and if so then it should compare the corresponding number from sheet 2 to sheet.
I am aware the above can be done using vlookup but in my case the numbers in sheet 2 are not exactly same. it would be withing a range of +300 to -300. Below is the example
Sheet 1
B
C
1-Feb-13
394,907.66
[Code] ....
Sheet 2
K
L
394709.5
1-Feb-13
3,222,800
1-Feb-13
In the above example when we compare 1-Feb-13 is common in both the sheet and data when compared it not exact but in the range of (+300 to -300) so these should get highlighted, not to forget even exact value should get highlighted.

I'm trying to lookup XYZ plc in an array where the company names in col A are like XYZ plc (UK, London), ABC plc (Boston US) and I want the lookup to return a date in column 3. I've tried VLOOKUP(B2, LEN(LPR), 3, FALSE) where B2 is the cell holding XYZ plc and LPR is my array and it's not working.

I am trying to use the vlookup fxn to display employee names according their in-time (10:30 for this example). I have multiple employees in at 10:30 so I need to find a way using vlookup to accomplish this.
This is a sample of my Master worksheet showing the schedule for all employees (Cell used for this example is D16):
My vlookup formula for finding the first match for a 10:30 in-time:
Code:
=VLOOKUP(C5,Master!D4:$W$38,20,FALSE)
MasterABCDEFGHIJ9AndrewSmith10:30BQT10AnnaSmith11:30CBQT11:30C5:30C11:0011BrianSmith12Brittany

DanielleSmithBARBAR5:30C15DemirSmith5:0016DerekSmith10:305:00OC5:0011:30CExcel 2010
The other worksheets in this workbook are various Floorplans depending on how many employees are scheduled that day with a column designated to the employee's name(B), and a column for their in-time (C). Here is a sample of the '8 Server Floorplan':
8 ServersABCDEFGHIJ52Derek10:3023243334632625353674Anna11:30C272892938511:30C4142615196#
VALUE!10:3043446352Excel 2010Worksheet FormulasCellFormulaB7=VLOOKUP(C7,Master!D4:W38,20,FALSE)A5=A4+1B5=VLOOKUP(C5,Master!D4:$W$38,20,FALSE)
A6=A5+1A7=A6+1A8=A7+1A9=A8+1B9=VLOOKUP(C9,Master!D4+P6:W38,20,FALSE)
Finding the first 10:30 match with vlookup is fine, my issue starts when trying to find the next 10:30 match, since vlookup only finds the first match (this is happening in B9).
Here is the sample of cells showing my formulas for finding the address of the first '10:30' match from my initial vlookup fxn (O5 and P5):
8 ServersOP3Cell Loc.Cell Loc. + 145D16D1767D1189Excel 2010Worksheet FormulasCellFormulaO5=ADDRESS(ROW(Master!$D$4:$D$38)+MATCH(C5,Master!$D$4:$D$38,0)-1,COLUMN(Master!$D$4:$D$38),4)P5=ADDRESS(ROW(Master!D4:D38)+1+MATCH(C5,Master!D4:D38,0)-1,COLUMN(Master!D4:D38),4)P7=ADDRESS(ROW(Master!D4:D38)+1+MATCH(C7,Master!D4:D38,0)-1,COLUMN(Master!D4:D38),4)
I thought by just finding the address of the first match (Master!D16), incrementing it by 1 (=D17) and plugging the cell containing this formula (P5) into my data range, that it would force the vlookup formula to adjust its data range from D4:W38 to D17:W38. This, in turn would then find the first match for 10:30 and so on for anyother identical in-times...

I am trying to connect a special date and a price to a special name (please see the attached file).
In sheet 1 I have the following:
- In column A I have a set of different names.
- In column B I have a set of different dates.
- In column C I have a set of different prices on bonds that off course refers to the different names at their respective dates.
In rest of the sheets I want an overview of the different bonds, and what their prices are at the exact date. The problem is that if I use the vlookup it is only the first value that will be extracted. How can I get all of the prices corresponding to the different dates to the correct bond. I also want the possibility to update this every day.

I want to vlookup from sheet2 cell E2 to find all matches in sheet1 in coulmn G and add totals together in coulmn E. The match I am looking for is used in several rows of coulmn G on sheet1. I only want cell E2 on sheet2 to give me total amount from data in coulmn E of sheet1 when a match is found in coulmn G of sheet1.

I need to return all the unique matches from a set of data.
For example, when a product is selected, I need to list all the possible venues it is sold from. I will use this venue list to populate my drop-down listbox, as opposed to having a 100 venues in the list, I just wish to have the applicable ones.
Example of data set I need to lookup in:
prod 1 venue1
prod 2 venue 2
prod 1 venue 3
prod 1 venue 10
prod 2 venue 6
I would like to use a formula if I can (not a macro), to list that prod 1 is only sold in venue 1,3, 10.
It would be great if one could use a vlookup type of formula and it could return a list of each occurence of the look-up'ed cell.....

1) Check to see if a value in column A of worksheet A appears in column A on worksheet B.
2) If it DOES, then display the value from the same row from column B on worksheet B, in column B on worksheet A.
3) If it DOESN'T, display the value "EACH" in column B on worksheet A.

I'm looking for a Formula in order to retrieve all addresses of all matches equal to the search criteria located in cell: E2
The results are hand-typed in col. G
This is a case of a TWO-DIMENSIONAL "Arbitrary Lookup" Arbitrary.
The range A1:C10 was named: TBL and the formula should refer to TBL as it can be dynamic in size.

I have a produced an Excel workbook which uses a VBA sign in/out userform.
Once you sign in on the Userform the sheets update. A list is completed of the times people enter and leave.
To make the code easier I currently have the name being returned to the excel sheet and performing a “match” function to return the row number. This row number is then used to carry out what I need to happen in this row. However, as you can see from attached doc (and the brief example below), based on IDnumber "2", the match function returns row 5 not row 8.
I need to have the row number returned for the IDnumber where the Out cell is blank.
This should be the last occurrance of the IDnumber
Example
Row
1 ID# In Out
2 1 9:00 13:00
3 4 9:00 13:00
4 3 9:00 13:00
5 2 9:00 13:00
6 5 9:00 13:00
7 6 9:00 13:00
8 2 14:00

I've information in two sections of a worksheet, columns A and B (range named "temp1") and columns D and E (range named "temp2"). I should also say that the reason I have two sections is that each section will have about 150 rows, so instead of having a huge list of 300 rows, I've tried splitting them into two sections.
AB
1a
1b
3c
DE
4d
1e
6f
What I want to do it show all the results that match the value 1 using a vlookup formula. Also the values in column A and D may change, i.e if value 4 in D1 changed to 1, I would expect to see "d" included in the results.
This is the original formula I got somewhere else which sorts out my vlookup on multiple matches issue.

Basically, I have a huge list of addresses with ID numbers, and a list without the ID numbers. An example would be;
2-10 (evens), test road, ID123.
I need to identify if the address is on the street, is in that block of flats (i.e between 2-10, and even number), and then return the ID.
I've already split the number between two cells, but then its all gone a bit wrong.

I've been looking through past threads and I can't find what I need to do anywhere. There was one formula that came close: =SUMPRODUCT((A2:A100="Aimbry")*(B2:B100="LW")*(C2: C100)). but this adds up all the matching results.
What I need to do is match the info in columns A and B and return a number in column C. The problem is that there are multiple rows with identical entries and I just want to return one of them. So I was thinking a version of the above that produced a mode or average would give the desired result.
