How To Use Lookup Function With Multiple Criterias
Aug 26, 2009
I've forgotten all the formulas that I learned during college. And that was for Excel 2003; now I'm using Excel 2007. So, hopefully you experts can help me out.
So here's the problem. I need to set up an invoice in Excel but I don't know what formula to use. I'll first describe my invoice and then I'll tell you the problem.
It's a basic invoice where you have customer's info and product's details and prices. So, when I choose a customer's name from a list in a cell, the address and phone of that customer will automatically appear. I don't have a problem at all with this part. And then there's the product details section where you enter a product type, size, color, price per unit, and total price. The price per unit also depends on the customer entered. Each customer has different pricing and I used a discount system for each customer. We basically have a universal price list for our products, but we have different discount percentage for each customer.
Total AlanMon400AlanThur600TomMon200TomWed300JamesMon1000Output4002001000
What function/formula can I use if I want that function to accept 2 criterias and returns me a result. Based on the above example, if the criterias are Alan & MOn, it will return 400 and if the criterias are Tom and Mon, it will return 200 and if the criterias are James and MOn, it will return 1000. Bascially, I want a function that can accepts 2 criterias. I do not want to sum up the total of the rows that are associated with one of the criteria i.e Alan. For Alan, I want 400 instead of 1000
is there any way for a sumif formula to have multiple criterias? for my case, after the formula checks for a condition, it has to check for another condition before summing up the figures.
I have managed to make a work queue and lots of other stuff for the model, but I can't get it to take orders in the way I want it. Each order has a order number (from 1 to 100) and the orders come in almost randomly e.g. 3, 5, 11, 2, 7, etc. What I want to do is to take the smallest available order that has not been processed in.
The available orders column and processed orders look something like this:
Zero means no new orders or no processed orders. Now the Start processing column should select the smallest not processed order if previous order has been processed.
A have, for now at least, all other problems solved, but can't figure out how to get start processing column check for the smallest not processed order line. I have tried combination of Min and Max functions with If, but it soon requires too many Ifs to make any sense out of it. I also tried the Dmin function, but it wasn't up to the task becouse the model requires ~1000 lines and as Dmin only takes criterias vertically I ran out of columns . So how could find minimum from row one until current row excluding values processed so far and only checking orders available so far?
I have a list of brands in one worksheet that are abbreviated (Brand 1 = "AB-"). In another Worksheet I have a list of products that start with various brand abbreviations (ex: AB-12345, BP-12345), and in another column on the worksheet I have codes that represent certain characteristics of that style ("1"=flat shot), "2"=shot on model, etc). Now what I want to do is count how many instances I have of products that begin with "AB-" and have a "1" in the other column so I can get a count of how many flat shots i have to do for that brand.
So far I am using the below code to get a TOTAL count of products that start with "AB-", but i cant figure out how to write it so that it checks additional criteria in another column.
A3 contains the text "AB-" and 'photo list'!G2:G5001 contains the list of products that may or may not contain the text string "AB-". Column S (not shown in this code) contains the codes for how to shoot. Hope someone can make sense of this and give me a hand.
I have table product that include (wide 1,wide 2,thick 1,thick 2,long 1,long 2,Price) And I have table transaction than have wide, thick, long and price)
I want that price in table transaction fill automaticly from table product where ( wide between wide 1 and wide 2 ) and ( thick between thick 1 and thick 2 ) and ( long between long 1 and long 2 )
I have two documents, and I need to search data in document 1 based on information given in document 2. On document 1 I have ID number and date range and on document 2 I have ID number and date. Date needs to be in the date range, and ID numbers must be the same.
Please see tables below for the reference.
Document 1 Document 2 ID Start date End Date Data ID Date Data 11 01/01/2009 31/12/2010 Data 1 11 05/05/2011 22 01/01/2010 31/12/2010 Data 2 22 08/08/2010 22 01/01/2011 31/12/2011 Data 3 33 01/01/2012 33 01/01/2012 31/12/2012 Data 4 11 02/02/2009 33 01/01/2010 31/12/2011 Data 3
in the lookup function listed below, it only produces a result for the first exact macth. well, what if the data i am searching on could result in multiple results? i would like advise on how to modify this formula to bring back the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc instance of a match in the lookup array.
the original formula , i found on this site, allows you to combine multiple cells to create a unique reference, and then search in another table containing columns of those combined cells, and results in the intersection of a row and column and that is the data you want returned .... kind of like a hlookup, but you can use one or more cells to create the unique lookup, and bring back whatever column you want (where as a hlookup is limited to searching the left most column and bring back a column to the left)
here is the formula:
{=INDEX(data to retrieve,MATCH(cell1&cell2,table to find cell1 in&table to find cell2 in,0))}
"data to retrieve" is an array of one column containing the data you want to retrieve "cell1&cell2" is a combination of cells to make the unique lookup (this could just be one cell if you wanted) "table to find cell1 in&table to find cell2 in" is a table array to look in to find the look up value
This formula works on 1 sheet but we are unable to make it work looking across multiple worksheets? Looking for a match to A3 in column G and wanting to pull the info from column E in the same row.
I am trying to replicate a payslip from a list of data on a worksheet.
The list of data contains the employee name, location they worked, and number of hours.
Each employee will work at multiple locations throughout the month, perhaps 10 or so.
The payslip must contain each location worked along with the relevant data, in a list so to speak.
What function can I use to pull this in? Of course if it were one location I would use vlookups to pull in data. As this only returns the top match I would then need a different formula to pull in the second location in the cell underneath?
At a high level, I have several thousand rows of data. For the sake of simplicity, assume there are two columns: 1) Name; and 2)A comment (optional, could be blank). See below for example..
Sheet 1 Row 1: Mike │ "Great to work with" Row 2: Mike │ "Bad manager" Row 3: Tom │ "Great guy" Row 4: Mike │ (blank) Row 5: John │ "Cool" Row 6: Mike │ "Best boss"
On a separate sheet, I want to be able to somehow use a lookup function to combine all the comments for each name in a nicely formatted package (notice how I skipped the blank space so it wouldn't take up a line.
Sheet 2
="Comments for "&[ref to cell containing "Mike" in another sheet] - Great to work with - Bad manager - Best boss
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.
I have attached a sample spreadsheet which describes my problem.
In C2 and C3 under the first business coalitions column, I have written in text what I would like to be displayed automatically with a formula. The trouble is that, as you can see, Abbott Laboratories is a member of 3 business coalitions. Therefore, a simple vlookup doesn't work because that would only return 1 result.
have a formula or something along those lines that will look for the data you type in to the selected cell and will show you on how many workbooks it has been entered in. For example, I have workbook a, b, c, d, e, f. all have 12 sheets. On these 12 sheets there is a place to enter the serial number of an item. What I would like to be able to do is on a different workbook be able to type in a serial number and have it show which workbooks it has ever been typed in and its location on said workbooks. and if possible the results of the item which would be whether it was accepted or rejected( this bit is not totally must have. but the workbook and sheet location is a must.)
b2,b3 Formula = Indirect(Address(match(a2,????,0),1,1,1,"Data"))
i dont know what is the correct range inside the match fuction to identiy the row number inside the Data sheet, i think the solution would be match(a2,Data!a2:a13,0) but things might get complicated if you have multiple worksheet such as sheet2: Data , sheet3: Data2, sheet3: Data 3
and each table has unsorted details compared to others sheets (Data vs Data 2)
What I am trying to achieve is using the above can it check
C4:C7 Grouped and named "first" C8:C10 Grouped and named "second" C11:C13 Grouped and named "third"
If one from each group is selected it returns 1 value, if 2 of each are selected it returns a second value and if 3 of each are selected it returns a third value?
I thought by grouping them it may give me the desired results but all it does is change if I select more than one from any of the groups.
I have a workbook with 2 different types of sheet - 1 containing source data and the others 'collecting' data from the source sheet, depending on what the sheet is for.
For example, the data source contains different pets, their names, ages and their owners.
The other sheets are on a one-per-owner basis.
What I would like to do is use a LOOKUP / MATCH function to lookup the owner name typed in cell A1 of the output sheet and match it with the corresponding owner name(s) on the source sheet. I would then like it to return with each pet and append the results on the sheet accordingly - like below:
John Smith (in cell A1)
Pet - Name - Age ------------------- Dog - Rover - 3 Goldfish - Tom - 1 Gerbil - Chewit - 4
I am trying to perform a lookup (vlookup) function in a cell in excel and wish to have the range as a variable, so that I can adjust which column the lookup function refers to.
I am trying to use lookup function to lookup for data in another table (we call it table A). Unfortunately, whenever the code is not in the table A, Excel will return the data from the previous row.... is there any possible way to prevent this... in another word, if the code does not exist in the table A, I want Excel to return 0 or some other figures.
I have a table of data (say Column1 to Column 5) with multiple rows.
Column 1 to 4 will have the lookup values in multiple rows and Column 5 data should be picked up using vlookup or other lookup function.
I managed to somehow bring all these lookup values in (Column 1 to 4) in a single column in another sheet. I am now trying to use some lookup or other functions to match this single column and pick column 5 data in original sheet. Result i am expecting is lookup value in first column and next to it column 5 value.
It is basically a lookup wherein lookup value is spread over multiple rows and columns and result column is fixed. I tried using vlookup, but lookup value column and column number had to change every time when i moved from column1 to 4.
Is it possible to set up a lookup function with two lookup values? For example, say I have a list of items such as:
1 A 14 1 B 22 2 C 84 4 D 25
I'd like to have the lookup go to the above table and find the number 1 and the letter B and return 22. I can't seem to visualize how to make this work.
i am trying to filter data based on more than one criteria (8 to be precise). I have some data in one worksheet and i need to transfer it to other worksheets depending on certain criteria. for example if cell A1 has A or B then it should go to "temp1" spreadhseet, if A1 has C,D, E, F, G or H then it should go to "temp2" worksheet etc.
Is there a smart way of doing this rather than writing a number of with statements using 2 criterias each and hence copying data in more than one attempt (and thus slowing down the macro)?
I did think of using creating a dummy column, then using If statements to write True or false in that column, using true & false to filter and copy the data and then finally deleting the column. but as i understand i can not have more than 7 nested if statements but i have 8 criterias.
I am having trouble creating a formula that will do what I need it to do. In C4 the I already have a formula that states if B4 is greater than 94.99% then it will equal 5. What I need it to do is if it is equal to or greater than 95% then =5. Also if it is equal to or less than 94.99% - 92% =3 and if less than 91.9% =1. Here is the worksheet I am using....
I'm trying to modify this code in order to do the following.
I want to choose first column and then the criteria for filter, then i want to choose a second column and criteria to filter the remain values from the first filter.
Here is my Sub Filter() Dim Myrange As Range Dim CriteriaVal As Variant Dim CriteriaVal2 As Variant
Dim KillColumn As Integer Dim KillColumn2 As Integer Dim ActiveColumn As String Dim AC Dim LastRow As Long Dim rng As Range
If I have to match MAX from Row 1 and MIN from Row 2 and get the EXACT MATCH as well as more than 1 Match?
I have 3 Rows and 4 Column Matrix
from A1 till D1 contains values as 10,20,50,40 from A2 till D2 contains values as 30,20,10,40 from A3 till D3 contains values as TOM,****,HARRY,JONES
THen my answer would be HARRY, however if there are more such combinations present then I would require a list of all of them.
Ex2 For Multiple Lookup from A1 till D1 contains values as 50,20,50,10 from A2 till D2 contains values as 10,20,10,40 from A3 till D3 contains values as TOM,****,HARRY,JONES
