I have 2 spreadsheets with many rows (in the tens of thousands) and columns (about 20 or so) of data.
I am trying to take the ID# from one spreadsheet and append it to the other, based on a name match. Typically I would use a vlookup, but, in this instance, most companies appear more than once and they often have many different ID#s associated with them. I am looking to return each unique ID# that is associated with each company, and display them horizontally next to that company's name.
Since this is including a lot of private data, I have included a small, generic example of what I am looking to search off of and output. Sample Spreadsheet.xlsx
I have seen examples of how to return multiple values using index functions, but, they all seem to only be able to handle one name at a time, and it displays the values vertically from that. Since I am trying to do this for thousands of rows of data, this won't work for me. I need to be able to have a function/formula of some sort that I can apply to each and every of the thousands of rows of data simultaneously. And, on top of that, I'd like to be able to display the 2nd, 3rd, etc ID#s for each company in additional columns of data.
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

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am having some trouble getting a formula to work. I am building a report that pulls figures from a pivot table in another workbook. I am using a vlookup with match function to get the column index to find the relevant data I want. Where I need to add two columns together I am using sum, with the vlookup & match formulas nested in them e.g.:
=SUM(VLOOKUP(F13,'[PIVOT 156.xlsx]PIVOT'!$C:$AQ,MATCH("FAID",'[PIVOT 156.xlsx]PIVOT'!$C$6:$AQ$6,0),FALSE),VLOOKUP(F13,'[PIVOT 156.xlsx]PIVOT'!$C:$AQ,MATCH("COMM",'[PIVOT 156.xlsx]PIVOT'!$C$6:$AQ$6,0),FALSE),VLOOKUP(F13,'[PIVOT 156.xlsx]PIVOT'!$C:$AQ,MATCH("BPCM",'[PIVOT 156.xlsx]PIVOT'!$C$6:$AQ$6,0),FALSE),VLOOKUP(F13,'[PIVOT 156.xlsx]PIVOT'!$C:$AQ,MATCH("COMD",'[PIVOT 156.xlsx]PIVOT'!$C$6:$AQ$6,0),FALSE))
Where:
F13 = Employee number
Column C on the pivot 156 workbook is where the employee number is based.
The Match formula is then getting the column index from the column headings of the pivot table ie. "FAID"
This in itself works fine, as long as it finds a match in the column headings. This is where i get the error as in the above function "COMD" is not in the pivot table. However I need to keep it included as it may appear on a future pivot table. Is there a way of getting the sum function to complete even though later in the formula it can't complete the vlookup? So it will ignore it, or assume the value is zero if it can't find it? The formula probably needs to do this for all the vlookups as some headings may drop off in future pivot tables.
See attached file, "Rate Sample Index-Match Formula".
I need a formula to return the value at the cross section of two (2) lookup values that match. This formula will be input into column D under, "RATE" on the 1st tab, "TEST FILE".
In the 1st tab, "TEST FILE" there are a series of columns as follows;
A = Service
B = From
C = To
D = Rate
In the 2nd tab, "RATES" there is a series of rates with drivers From (green) & To (blue)
The formula needs to do the following;
1. Lookup the "From" value in column B on tab, "TEST FILE" and match to column B2:B59 on tab, "RATES" both highlighted in green
2. Then Lookup the "To" value in column C on tab, "TEST FILE" and match to row C1:BH1 on tab, "RATES" both highlighted in blue
3. Then return the value at the cross section of the match "From" (point 1 above) & "To" (point 2 above) in range C2:BH59
For Example;
The rate From SYD To CBR = 0.33. I have highlighted this in yellow on both tabs to show where the formula needs to lookup the data to return the answer.
Additionally, if we were to add service as an additional lookup match how would this work?

Dim c, DataRow
With Data
Set c = . Range("A5:A350"). Find(KPI, LookIn:=xlValues)
If Not c Is Nothing Then
DataRow = c.Row
End If
End With
Now,If KPI is for example = "Favourite Hotel" and if i have data that looks like :
Favourite Hotel - London
Favourite Hotel - Cardiff
Favourite Hotel
Favourite Hotel - Birmingham
Then it seems to not look be looking for an exact match (e.g. Favourite Hotel) and rather is finding the first item in the list that contains the KPI string (E.g. Favourite Hotel - London).
How do i make it search for an exact match?
I am having such a difficult time creating a macro that will reduce the 5+hours I have to spend each week manually copying & pasting all of this data. I making an IMMENSE difference in this worker bee's life!
I have a workbook with two sheets (Sheet1 & Sheet2). Sheet1 has license #'s in column A and the state that the license belongs to in column B like this:
COLUMN ACOLUMN B11111Alaska11112Alabama11113Arkansas11114Arkansas
Sheet2 has three columns. Column A has the license #'s, column B has the state that the license belongs to and Columns C shows a line-of-authority tied to that license #.
COLUMN ACOLUMN BCOLUMN
C11111AlaskaProperty11111AlaskaCasualty11112AlaskaLife11112AlaskaHealth11112
AlabamaProperty11112AlabamaCasualty11113ArkansasLife11113ArkansasHealth11114
ArkansasLife11114ArkansasHealth12345ArizonaProperty
I'm trying to write a macro that will compare the license # and state in Sheet1 to the license # and state in Sheet2. If it matches, append the contents of Column C to the corresponding row in Sheet1.
Here's the thing...Sheet2 contains the entries for all licenses in the company (so this table is HUGE). And there are multiple entries for each state license # (notice how there's two entries above for AK license # 11111 - one for the Property line and one for the Casualty line.
After my macro is run, I want Sheet1 to show all the lines-of-authority on a single line. So if I ran my macro on the above example, after it's run I would have this in Sheet1:
COLUMN ACOLUMN BCOLUMN
C11111AlaskaProperty Casualty11112AlabamaProperty Casualty11113
ArkansasLife Health11114ArkansasLife Health
Sheet 2 is the problem.
I need to match cells e3:h3 whenver the dates change in in cells c5:c9 and then put there result of cells b5:b9 into the corresponding cells of e5:h9.
Basically what I'm saying is that I want to keep a track of all previous pay amounts from each pay period. So when the next period changes the date it also copies the new pay amount to the corresponding date of the previous pay section.
I have included a sample.
I am using this formula but I don't know how to get it to populate more than one cell.
Here is the formula:
=INDEX(APPROVED!$A$3:$A$1000,MATCH($F$4&$H$1,APPROVED!$D$3:$D$1000&APPROVED!$C$3:$C$1000,0))
It has multiple matches but I can only see the first match in the cell.
I would like to extract Bill cost from "rule" sheet and insert it to "data" sheet using index-match functions. My problem are multiple criteria and multiple matches.
The criteria are Column: Cost type, Power, Penalty Category (The logic goes like AND function).
And I want it to extract "Bills" value from "rule" sheet.
There are multiple matches in all columns (Cost type, Power, Penalty Category) which cause wrong extraction.
How do i solve this problem with index-match function?
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

4 q w r
Delete rows 2+3
I have been building a tracker to track benefit payments for child benefits and DLA so I know where I stand and what has been paid.
The problem... its limited and basic an I have to do most things manually, even when I have cell formulas to do some of the legwork.
I stumbled across the term MATCH and SEARCH and I was curious on how to use them for my needs, I was trying to use the LOOKUP set of tools.
My problem...
Benefit rates are set between two date periods, all payment periods are 28 days apart (...but could change to every 7 days) which means that sometimes payments are due 3 weeks of one rate, 1 week of another, the reverse of that or 50:50 depending on the cycle.
A
B
C
[Code]....
The problem should be very evident and especially when I adjust the dates to match what payment dates I finally end up with.
The result of the look up needs to be calculated at the frequency in A14 to B14, A15 to B15 (for example) at the appropriate rate found in D:D when searched for based on the dates in A14 to B14 ... ... etc.
I tried using MATCH to get a match to a date falling between 30/12/2013 and 4/4/2014, I tried this...
=SEARCH(A15,MATCH(B15,A4:F8,1),A15)
which returned #N/A
I have a workbook with two sheets, one used for referance (Column A - Product SKUS, B - Product Description and C - Carton Quantities) - Sheet 1
The other sheet I would like to import incoming shipments. (Column A - Product SKUS, B - Product Description, C - Quantity Ordered and D - No of Cartons) - Sheet 2
What I need to do is find out how to get Excel to find and match up the SKUs in Col A and then dividing Sheet 2's column C by Sheet 1's column C to give the number of incoming cartons of each product in Sheet 2's Column D
I have a formula that has been working perfectly:
[Code] .....
It works until I exceed the MATCH character limit of 255 characters in the range with text. I have tried many alternate formulae found on various posts, but not one that suits my purpose. Is there a simple ISTEXT or another function/formula that will work here?

I've got a sheet here with a master list of document numbers in Column A and a smaller subset in column C. I need to do is for Excel to scan column A for cell C1 and when it finds it in column A i need it to return the corresponding value in B column into cell D1. I need to do this for all column C.

how to get the result in the red border.
In Sheet 2 i have a 1000 of data contains the birth date of following customers
The result i want in Sheet 1 is
particular on todays (Say on 27-11-2008) date how many customer are having birthday, supoose there 10, or 8 wahtever should show me the list.
I tried this formula
=INDEX(Sheet2!$B:B,MATCH($B$3,Sheet2!$H:$H,0))
but by this formula it only show one customers birthdate what i want if there 10 differenrt customer those same birthdate it should display all the 10 date and name in diff rows
I have a sheet with dates on it, when i open my userform and select a date i want it to go to the sheet and look for a match on the date and select the cell where the match is. There will never be 2 dates that's the same. I have attached an example.
View 2 Replies View RelatedIn the attached sheet, I am using !Staff times columns N and O to nominate a mid point break time relevant to the start,lunch break and finish times of a shift.
What I would like to do is match the result to the closest time from !Race Times Column D (highlighted green). So if for example the mid point of the shift is 10:37 (as in !Staff Times cell N23), it actually comes back with the !Race Times result of 10:35 which is the closest actual race.
Ideally I would like it to look both sides of the midpoint time until it came to the closest match, rather than always looking at an earlier time, or always a later time (eg the cell N79 has a value of 11:36, however the 2 race times are 11:35 and 11:40. Preference is it shows 11:35). If however the N79 result was 11:38 or 11:39, I would prefer it went to 11:40).
However if this is not possible then picking the next time in either direction will do.
I have a column of values (text) to choose from. I need to randomly assign them to names.
There are more values then names.
Each name has to have a value.
Each value has to be used only one time.
Not every value has to be used.
Column B contains names, column Q contains values.
Now. So far I've come up with below:
Code:
Sub randomize()
Dim Random As Integer[code].....
"Random" returns exactly the amount of values in column Q, so this works ok.
"i" counts iterations correctly, meaning as many times as names in column B.
I tried useing Match to rule out already used value but this code returns "unable to get Match property of the WorksheetFunction class" error.

i want a macro , so that when it is run,
it matches the value in column A with value in Column C
and update the same in Column B
For example the macro should find
A1 Value = abc with C6 Value= abc-sometext
and update
B1 value as = abc-sometext
So after running the macro
the excel sheet should look like this
A-----------------b------------------------c
1 abc abc-sometext klm-sometext

i am trying to find all the 0 in column P and return col M from the same rows, this finds the 1st, how do i find the rest?
=INDEX(M$3:M$100,MATCH("0",P$3:P$100,0))
I am trying to insert a formula to find the name (match?) from one column on say sheet 3 and return the value in the next column.
column a sheet 1
my name
your name
someone else
I would like it to search sheet 3 column a and return value sheet 3 column b
as sheet 3 would look like this
col a / col b
john q / 11a
my name / 13b
someone else/ 9a
your name/ 12b
What my goal is - is to only have to enter the column b in sheet 3 one time per name and have it fill in on sheet 1 for every entry of multiple entries of the same name in column a if that makes sense.
I know this should be simple- I want to avoid the if statement as there will be about 50 names to sort and return the proper class (column b)
Find a match in a column, move over two columns and copy sales amount. I have a column (column A) of week starting dates (52 each -- e.g., 4/10/06, 4/17/06, etc.).
I have captured a date in a vba variable and I would like to search through this column (52 rows) and when I find a match, move over two cells and copy another variable (a sales amount figure)...?
I am going through various excel sheets looking for certain text on them. not all of the sheets will have the text.
I have been using
Cells. Find(What:="FindMe", After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt _
:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:= _
False).Activate
and it works fine, if the text is on the sheet. When the text is not on the sheet, how should I handle this.
I have tried On Error and IsError variations, but could use a little guidance
The bottom line is: I want to determine whether a value exists in a column and get beyond #N/A error values if it does not.
I have a range (B15:B26) in which the months of the year that are applicable in a specific situation will be entered using this formula in B16 and copied down to B26:
=IF(D16<$G$5+1,IF(B15<12,B15+1,1),0)
In B14 the starting month is drawn through from G4, e.g. 11 (for November) is entered in G4.
In G5 I enter the term of the investment in months, e.g. 3.
In column D, I start with 1 in D15 and add 1 to the previous cell as you go down column D, e.g. D16 =D15+1.
OK, there you have it, but I attach a file anyway.
Now, I'd like to figure out whether the values 2 or 3 appear in the range B15:B26 once the starting month and the term of the investment have been entered in cells B14 and K5.
If, as an example, I enter 11 (November) as the starting month and 3 as the term, range B15:B26 will show B15=11, B16=12 and B16=1, for January of the new year.
Below that, all cells will show 0, with the result that 2 or 3 does not appear in the range.
I used =MATCH(2,B15:B26,0) to find 2, for example, but if it's not there, it returns the #N/A error value. If it is there, it returns an actual value, and whatever it is, I at least know that 2 is present. This check is in cell I5.
Only the #N/A value shows that it does not exist.
I now want to write an IF function using this error value, but I am really battling with it! If (in cell I6) I use: =IF(ERROR.TYPE(I5)=7,0,MATCH(2,B15:B26,0)). If cell I5 contains the #N/A error (meaning 2 is not present), the aforementioned formula find the answer to the "logical test" true and answers "0". This "0" is easier to use in other functions than the error.type function as far as I am concerned, so I am happy to know that the "0" value in cell I6 indicates that a 2 was not found in the range.
So far so good.
The previous IF function returns the #N/A value if a 2 is found, however!
The MATCH portion of the formula is exactly the same as the other MATCH function in cell I5, so what is wrong with my formula?
What should I do to find out if a 2 (or a 3) exists in the range mentioned?
I have three sets of columns with addresses. I'm looking for a match/index/vlook up formula that can search all three columns and list the matched addresses in another column. Also note that one or two of the columns are formatted differently (although there is enough information to match closely to the other columns where relevant).
