The issue I'm having is that the postcodes aren't in the same place in order to use LEFT, RIGHT or MID functions, and they aren't always proceeded or followed by dashes or spaces in the same way.
I need the returned postcodes to come back in a uniform way so that any duplicates are grouped by the relevant pivot table.
(1) I've created a list in A2, which looks up F1:F27. I'd like to place an IF or Vlookup function in B2, that returns the corresponding cell from range G1:G27 based on selection in A2.
(2) Also, is it possible to include the fill coulour based on selections in A2 and B2?
I am using Excel 2002 and trying to do something which should be simple with MATCH.
I have an array of numbers ordered, starting at 0 and incrementing by 0.05 up to 20. I am then using the MATCH function to find the relative position of numbers 0,1,2,3,4 and 5. However, for number 0,1 and 2 the return value is one less than what it should be, for the numbers 3, 4 and 5 it is working as expected. By the way, the match_type I am using is the default 1.
Also I have formatted everything to be numbers and tried various things already, so am beginning to wonder is this is a known issue.
I am working on sales information which includes postcodes. What i need to do is seperate the first or first two text characters from the rest of the postcode. I have attached a small snipet of what i am working on. Currently i am using the =Left(A4,2) but this will give me in some case a numerical value aswell. For example E1 or G1 in the case of the sample attached. Is there a formula that exists where it will just return the text values in a cell and not numerical values.
I have about 10,000 part numbers all with descriptions. These descriptions do not follow a uniform logic;
============= Part 1: 5x10 Red Cotton candy Part 2: Yellow 6/18 x7 TTC x11 Picture Frame =============
My dilemma is that I need to figure out a way to remove everything aside from the "5x10" and "6/18 x7 TTC x11" from these descriptions. I just need the the item sizing.
What I've come up with so far is sorting items by description and working with batches of similar descriptions, then doing replace "Red*" with "blank". It works but it still takes me too much time and it's not perfect.
My question is there something else I can do that is easier and more accurate?
Input date on left column and the cell on right will automatically look up this date from the list located in other spreadsheet and return multiple corresponding in sequence order? Once another date is entered on left column, it will do the same function again on right column?
I have an excel stock price template, where I need the current price to calculate the mid point if the chart.
This is the text I get from the webquery
Underlying stock: SBIN 2699.00 as on Jul 04, 2014 15:30:36 IST
I need a formula to extract the stock price '2699.00' only from this text.
The problems are sometimes its may change to underlying "stock" to "index", SBIN to RELIANCE or TATASTEEL, and the price some times two digit say 16, some times 6 letters say 150.05, or 8 digits say 15160.00
Formula, the text in B1 and need the price at A100.
Cell H1 has a variable string of references for eg "FI570783AQ3516346EQ3516346FXVB123456"
I want to return the reference beginiing with "FXVA" so it would ignore the rest and only return FXVB123456 - this should always be 10 characters.
Just to add another complication to the mix, there may be 2 "FXVA" references in the string and i want to get both (these can be in the same string so FXVB123456FXEL123456 - but this might not happen regularly.
I am trying to create a quotation spreadsheet and want the drop down list to contain the materials but once a selection is made in the drop down list, i want other cells to be accordingly populated with data stored on another worksheet within the workbook.
The source of the drop down list is material and i need other cells to be populated with the adjacent data.
Here is a small list i have at present, which will be much larger when completed.
MATERIAL 20mm 30mm Absolute Black £62.15£83.30 Absolute Black Premium£71.65£96.10 African Red £58.20£78.00
So if the selection in the drop down list is African Red then it should accordingly populate other cells with the values £58.20 and £78.00. Please help as i have tried many sources elsewhere but without any luck and this would be very benficial.
I need to lookup data based on a cells content. The answer has to output to a table as a sequential list. I have attached a sample workbook (there will be 100+ sheets in the final version!). The Register sheet lists competencies against page# and title. For each Evidence Sheet I need to populate the Competency grid (C4:D10) in a sequential manner i.e. no blank lines,and the Title (B13) based on the Page # (D2). I have looked at a great number of postings, but cannot see a solution that fits.
I am trying to automate the account classification of credit card (cc) expenses. The problem is charges to USAirways will always have random numbers after the vendor name on the cc download. I set USAIRWAYS as a Travel Expense and a simple Vlookup will not work.
For example, let's say a data dump in column C of the CC: cell C2 is USAIRWAYS 037232A49429 CeLL C3: USAIRWAYS 037282hf39647 Cell C4: Facebook A8476H4
In column E I have my simple vendor name. Column F as the Vendor Account. For example E1 is USAIRWAYS. F1 is Travel Expense. E2 is FaceBook. F2 is Marketing Expense
In cell D2 & D3 I want to return Travel Expense anytime the formula sees USAirways in cell C2 returning the answer in column F after matching w/ column E. In cell D4 I want to return Marketing Expense.
how do I search the whole text of one cell in a particular column to another cell in a different column? I then want to return the full contents of the cell that contains the text I want to find. Ie. if I want to search the text "fidelity", cell A1 in column B which contains a cell with text "fidelity asset management". I want to return fielity asset management.
Im trying to create a formula that check to see if the value in H4 equal any value in the vlookup table m4:m48, if so, then Y, if not then N. the following does not work: =IF(ISNA(MATCH(H4,M$4:M$48)),"N","Y")
I have a database of customers that are all sorted by a customer number.
I have a form that has a number of fields that display customer info. When I use a blank of this form and put the customer number in it's correct field, all the other info fields do a vlookup on the customer number in the database file and return the info, such as phone numbers, name, address, etc.
Here's my question;
How can I check for a blank (using ISBLANK, I assume) to check to see if the customer number exists in our database and, if it's NOT blank, operate on it with the following example which is used to return their insurance expiration date.
I realize that this may be a sledgehammer approach and that Access is probably a better tool, but my company has not shelled out the $$ for Access...yet.
I need to look within column A (which contains text strings), match label in column c (which contains text for label), and return result within column B (titled category label).
Essentially, I want to label my data based upon a specific element found within column A with a label list in column C.
I have attached an excel file that shows the current problem. Nested if(isnumber(search( statements can perform this, but I yield too many arguments error after three labels?
Isn't there a way to do this with Vlookup or Hlookup?
I have two sheets, one of which contains film names and the other contains our tag structure for our website (which is a list of tags, their keywords and the primary parent channel they live under).
What I am trying to do is search the film titles and if any of the words match either the tag name or keywords then return the relevant channel.
Example:
Sheet 1 - Films How To Apply Bridal Makeup How To Fight A Donkey How To Write Excel Formulae
Sheet 2 - Tags Channel / Tag / Keywords Tech - Microsoft - windows vista xp word excel Tech - Computers - internet pc Tech - MP3 Players - iPod Zune
So, for film 3 on Sheet 1 it would recognise the word Excel in the keyword list and return the channel Tech.
Is there a formula to look in multiple arrays and return whatever it finds i.e. text or numeric values?
Sheet1  ABCDEFGH1Cat0 CatFive Donkey32   Mouse2 Wolf43 4WolfFour CatFive Donkey35   Mouse2 WolfFourSpreadsheet FormulasCellFormulaB1=LOOKUP(9.99999999999999E+307,CHOOSE({1,2,3},0,VLOOKUP(A1,$D$1:$E$2,2,0), VLOOKUP(A1,$G$1:$H$2,2,0)))B4=LOOKUP(REPT("z",255),CHOOSE({1,2,3},0, VLOOKUP(A4,$D$4:$E$5,2,0),VLOOKUP(A4,$G$4:$H$5,2,0)))
I have a complex list of text (a chart of accounts) with various roll ups for subtotals on one worksheet, and monthly download on another worksheet showing the name of the account and the value. I wish to use match the text to return the value in the front sheet and avoid taking the simple route of linking the cells in case additions are added during the year.
I've tried using IF and VLOOKUP formulas without success - i guess becasue I cannot sort the table in descending order?
What would be the best sort of formula to search using the text, and return a value on the same row?
Which would be fine if the description in column B of my data only appeared once.
How do I sum the total of all those that have the same description?
Data Example
Column A Column B Column C
Code Description Value SL10107 Test Data £100.00 SL10107 Test Data £100.00 SL10107 Test Data £100.00
Using the formula {=IFERROR(INDEX(Column C,MATCH(1,(Column A=SL10107)*(Column B=Test Data0,0)),"0.00")} I get the answer £100, i.e. it is Matching the Code SL10107, and then matching the Description of Test Data and then returning the first value, £100. However I would like to sum these entries and get the answer of £300.
I have two sheets. One is a Master which has all of the following information in each column. Product ID = A, Product Name=B, Price=C, Category=D ,Product Description =E,
The other sheet Is a updated product description.
Now I want to Be able to copy and add the new descriptions into the Master but not sure how to add them so they will fall into the proper spot according to the Product ID... There are not descriptions in the Update sheet for all the Product IDs in the Master.
I want to be able to lookup if anywhere in a cell contains a word from a list of words, and then provides an output.
Column G: VAT payment HMRC payment Pay VAT
I have a table on the side that shows: Column Y Column Z VATHMRC HMRC HMRC
ie. If anything in column G matches one of the words in Column Y, then output the Column Z. I have use a Vlookup that works for the first two, as VAT is the first thing, but dont know how to make it work if the key word is in the middle of the cell.
