How To Return The Maximum Value In A Multiple Results LOOKUP


What I am try to do is look up the highest (maximum) date in a lookup up that has multiple results.

Please see attachment.

Column in question is 'U' (FinishDate)
Maximum date that I want to recover is in column 'P' (DATE_COM)
LOOKUP VALUE is found in column 'A' (QUOTE_NUM)

Lookup Single Value In One Sheet, Return Multiple Results From The Other Sheet
i have two sheets, one to display results (Reults tab) & the other tab containing the data (Data tab)

what i am trying to do is some how create a search function and have a forumula which contains a LIKE function that looks up the data table
RANGE = Data!A2:K255

the search needs to lookup the primary column Data!B2:B255 ... if any results are found .. show them on the results tab.. and if multiple results are found, display those as well.. (in either instance, the whole row of information in respect to the results need to be dislayed and hopefully no duplicates are found .. eg, Data!A:K of a hit)

is there a formula that can achieve this? oh, the search is TEXT based and there should be no empty cells within the dataset

after some MASSIVE googling, i have stumbled accross this

B1 = Search box (txt field)


A6 (which will be a hidden column) contains =MATCH($B$1,Data!A2:A255,0). this formula provides the first instance of the result and provides the row number


A7 contains =MATCH($B$1,OFFSET(Data!$A$1,A6+1,0,8-(A6+1),1),0)+A6.
this is supposed to look for the next row number which contains a match and provide that row number

and througout my other columns, i have
B6=OFFSET(Data!$A$1,A6,1)
B7=OFFSET(Data!$A$1,A6,2)
B8=OFFSET(Data!$A$1,A6,3)
and so on


2 things i cannot recitify..


1, the match has to be EXACT ... unfortunately i cannot use exact .. needs to be LIKE .. eg, i cant use the search word "boat" as the range of data has "boats"
2, it comes up with multile .. irrelevent results.

Lookup Maximum Value & Return Corresponding Row
i have a matrix

index| a| b| c|
0001 |1| 2| 2.22| ( probably it will be much clear to see the attachment)

I need to lookup for the largest number in B2:D2 (in this case 2.22) and return the corresponding header ("C"). I though it would be simple with hlookup() and max() but i can't make it work.

Lookup Maximum & Minimum. Return Corresponding Row
I have searched your forums and thought I had found a sufficient answer but could not get the vba to work. So any help is greatly appreciated. I am trying to determine a max value from a list then put that value in a cell. Next I want to determine how many times and on what day that max value occured. From there take the value and concatenate them adding a "," between them I have attached an example. I would like the values placed in cells F1 and H1 (the other is a min value and when it occurred)

Return Lookup Results Of All Occurences
I am using vlookup to return data from a range that could have the same name in column A.

There are 8 columns
Column 1 is Name
Column 2 is Sun
Column 3 is Mon
and so on.

The problem I have is that a name can appear in two places in column1 with relevant information in different columns:
Fred appears twice, on Wed he is on a course the rest of the week he is on leave. I need a C to be returned for Wed & A/l for the rest of the week.

Lookup All Occurrences & Return Results To 1 Cell
My task is that I have several documents exported in excel. The requirements in them were mapped to another document. The IDs were populated in a certain column but are now no longer needed. I have to convert those old Ids to the current ones. In my example I have populated Sheet one with the lookup table. In column A are the old IDs. In Column B are the new ones they map to. The old ones can map to several which is why there are more than one ID in some of the cells. In column D of Sheet 2 I have populated it with the old Ids. In Column A I'd like to have the lookup return the appropriate maps to the new Ids. For example for the first map in cell A2 it should return:

abc_18
abc_43
abc_6
abc_4
all in one cell.

Vlookup can return the first hit (abc_18 and abc_43 for cell D2), but ignores the other two IDs in cell D2. I was able to work around this combining the find, mid, and vlookup to return all values. The problem with that is that the formula gets monstrously big after just having it return 4. In the actual files it can be up to 30 IDs which would make that formula literally pages long since. I have pretty much no experience with macros, but it seems like the only solution since I have to send this off to various people so they can use it.

Lookup With Multiple Results
After a lot of searching and trying I still didn't get to something that works.

My situation:
sheet1
column A column B
true "abc"
true "bcd"
false "cde"
true "def"
false "efg"
false "fgh"

on sheet2, in cell A1, I would like to get all results from column B that correspond 'TRUE' in that row.

So, in cell A1 on sheet2, i would like to see "abc", "bcd", "def".

VLOOKUP returns only one result, of course. How do I solve this?

I'm not good at VB, so preferably only with formulas!

Presentation Of Multiple Results Of A Lookup
I have some data arranged in columns/rows as follows:

Location Name
--------- ------
United States Sarah Buchannan
United States Walter Smith
France Phil Barney
Italy Anna Wilson
Germany Philip Watson
France Neil Anderson

I want to have some function in my spreadsheet that will neatly present the names of the people at a given location in a separate part of the worksheet

e.g. a display of all people in France would have something like:

France
-------
Phil Barney
Neil Anderson

Ideally I would like to populate cells rows in a different column with the multiple results of the lookup ("persons at a given location") and that change in location for any individual would result in the list of persons at a given location being automatically updated.

Did alot of digging around and managed to construct a UDF that would display the results of the lookup in a single cell - it is however not very readable. But, I found out that a cell based UDF is not allowed to populate other cells other that the one where the function is entered!

Returning Multiple Results For One Lookup Value
I have been searching all day about this topic and while there are many "solutions" none of them fits my criteria and I can't figure out how to tailor it.

I am using a very basic data sheet to populate a purchase order. I want to be able to search a style and have all the data (color, units and price) automatically fill in upon entering the style number, I have been using vlookup but this only works if there is one color per style.

I have found different lookup functions that give the value +1 when the data is sorted but it returns the value even if it doens't fit the search criteria, I only want to return the second value if it correlates to the initial lookup

Multiple Duplicate Lookup Results In Single Cell
I have attached a copy of what I am trying to do. I've been researching vlookup for a while and everything I try doesn't seem to work. I'm also fairly new to Excel, so most of this is my first time trying these formulas.

In the attached test.xls file, I have two sheets created. The first is "Responsibility," and the second is "List." The data in "List" is what I am trying to pull from. As you can see, the people's names are listed more than once as the list goes down. On the "Responsibility" page I have each person's name one time. In the "Extinguisher" column, I'm wanting it to list every number that is found next to the person's name on the "List" sheet. For example:

Column B2 on the "Responsibility" sheet should read as follows:

1,2,3,17,24

Here is the formula I have in these cells:

=VLOOKUP($A2,List!$A$3:$C$38,3,TRUE)

Return Multiple Results Based On Criteria
Please see the attached sheets.

Here's the issue:

On sheet "master" I have a list of goals in column A.

Each has been assigned to at least one person. Each person will have their own sheet that will capture the goals assigned to them. As an example, see Al's sheet.

I am trying to get Excel to look for all of the goals assigned to AL on the Master sheet and list them nicely onto AL's sheet without out blank rows. (and for each, respectively on their own sheet). I could do this with Pivot Tables if the data were displayed differently, but I have been told that I have to display the goal assignments as shown.

I could use "x"s instead of their names to mark the assignment and I could combine the "goal-achieved expectations" and "goal #s" columns if it helps. I am not supposed to use filters either.

Note: Of course, a goal or an assignment could change on the master sheet, but the assignment is more likely to change.

how this done for AL, I can go ahead and create the other sheets.

Can Index Or Match Return Multiple Results
I've spent the last week trying to do the following, with little to no success....and I'm running out of hair to pull out!!

I have a worksheet (let's call it DATA) with the following column headers:
* Site Name
* Year Initiated
* Status

plus a whole bunch of other columns of information.

On a separate worksheet (let's call it RESULTS) I'm trying to create a summary of all the Site Names where the Year Initiated = "2004" and the Status = "Active". There will be multiple occurences where this is true.

I then want to create further results where the year = 2005, 2006, etc., etc. I've been trying to use the INDEX function with variations of MATCH, SMALL, ROW, etc., etc., but so far, no luck.

Advanced Filtering is not an option as I need to do further manipulating of the results on the RESULTS worksheet.

Vlookup Data And Return Results On Multiple Entries
So i have a spreadsheet that has a list of members and how many events they have attended. That is fine because i achieved this by doing a countif function on their account number. The spreadsheet has to sheets Events Attended TOTAl and List. In the list it has their name account number and what event they attended and what date. What i need is to have a function that will lookup their account number and return what event they attended but they might have been to 4 different events.

I have a total of 5 columns dedicated to Event attended so we can tell it to lookup first event and return result then have an if function in the next column to lookup event and if its returned in previous column move onto the next event attended.

Lookup Multiple Same Value And Return Multiple Corresponding Value In Ascending Order
I have a problem with the formula that look up multiple records with the same values and return multiple corresponding values in ascending order. I am using Excel 2003 and it is a bit complicated to explain so I have attached a sample spreadsheet to show what I mean.

What I want was after I have sorted the occurrence value in column E based on column B and I want to correspond the Rank in column D based on column A in ascending order for the same occurrence value in column E.

Eg: There is two occurrences for number 1 at E3 and E4, and three occurrences for number 2 at E5, E6 and E7 in column E. Then the Rank for the first occurrence for number 1 in D3 should be ranking 6 and the second occurrence for number 1 in D4 should be ranking 7, so the Rank for the first occurrence for number 2 in D5 should be ranking 3, D6 should be ranking 4 and D7 should be ranking 9 based on column A and B, etc.

Lookup And Return Multiple
I have a spreadsheet similiar to the below:

COLUMN A.....COLUMN B
Person 1.......Process 1
Person 1.......Process 1
Person 1.......Process 2
Person 1.......Process 1
Person 1.......Process 2
Person 1.......Process 3
Person 2.......Process 1
Person 2.......Process 4
Person 2.......Process 1

and so on.

In the list, the "People" aren't neccessarily in order, for example, later in the list, Person 1 appears again. There are a total of 10 processes, and any person can do any number of each.

What I ideally want is in Columns D, E, and F, is something like the following:

COLUMN D.....COLUMN E....COLUMN F
Person 1...........3.............Process 1
Person 1...........2.............Process 2
Person 1...........1.............Process 3
Person 2...........2.............Process 1

so a summary of the main data, showing how many each process each person has got.

I have, and failed miserably, getting arrays to work but that might just be down to my own incompetence. I have researched into Countif's and Lookups, but it's not quite working.

The data in columns D, E, and F needs to be fairly compact so ideally I wouldnt want any spare rows between the end of the summary data about Person 1 and the start of Person's 2 details.

Lookup & Return Multiple Occurrences
In Sheet1 are unique VM entries (Column A) which have a Group (Column B), Time (Column C) and a Reference (Column D) which can be same for other VM entries. In Sheet2 are the unique Reference Entries (Column A) which need Group (Column B) and Time (Column C) entries populated from Sheet 1. Multiple occureneces need to go in one cell, I realise this is not the best idea, but for this purpose they need to be and seperated by a comma or semi-colon.

In B2 I've used this formula:
=INDEX(Sheet1!A1:D11,MATCH(A2,Sheet1!D1:D11,0),2)
Which partly works, but only returns the first occurrence of H1 on Sheet1. I need all occurrences (i.e G1;G4;G8) returning for B2.

I can only think that some VBA script may be needed but I'm not really an expert in this area. In the full spreadsheet there are hundreds of rows and multiple entries, where Group and Time need to be populated on the second sheet

Lookup Function Required To Return Multiple Matches
I have a list with 8 columns. In the majority of instances, Columns A & B will have duplicate information. I need to be able to search columns A & B & return the information from them PLUS all info contained on the same row's from columns C/D/E/F/G & H. EG:...

My column headings are as follows...
Type Region Contact Phone Email ADD1 ADD2 ADD3

In column A (type) would be the type of contact eg:business/personal/family etc.

So... If looking for family I'd need excel to show me the region, contact, phone, email, add1, add2 & add3 for each family record. Hope this makes sense!
There are over 1000 records i need excel to search through & return matches.

I'm an intermediate excel user at best so finding it complicated. Tried vlookup but that stops when it finds a match & anything else seems over my head.

The examples I am using have {Sum(IF)} formulae in it (array) and I would like to change those to others that will not increase the file size so much and will not take too long to calculate.

Basically, I would like a lookup that will return me the Amount Paid and Full Cost based on the person's name and the date. the data and the results table are both on separate sheets. It would be nice to bring that file's size back down to less than 4mb!!

I can format this combined cell as a 'general', but think it can be formatted as any type of cell retaining this layout (after combination, prior I had to format both cells as textual), however when it is then not possible to get a maximum value from this column using a pivot table.

MAXIMUM Function Limit: Return A Value?
What I'm trying to do is get the MAX function to return a value, but that value needs to come before the values reach zero. It's a cubic equation that basically starts, at the beginning of the data range, under 10 then hits zero and ends up near 30 at the end of the data range. The end data range max doesn't matter to me if the data range hits zero along the way. Is there any way to make the MAX function stop at a certain value, or is there another function that could accomplish what I'm trying to do?
