LARGE, VLOOKUP- Set Of Data Covering Cells A8:C71
Jan 25, 2008
I have a set of data covering cells A8:C71
Column A lists locations - there maybe upto 6 entries with the same location.
Column C lists a unique serial number.
The list is sorted by column A (A-Z).
For this example say location LONDON has 3 entries, with serial numbers 120, 125, 128.
In cell F1, i want to display the lowest serial number for LONDON
In cell F3, i want to display the 2nd lowest serial number for LONDON
In cell F5, i want to display the 3rd lowest serial number for LONDON
I have tried the following formula, with no success..
=LARGE(VLOOKUP(I9,A8:C71,3),1)

I want a message to show up if I have any of 6 selected cells empty? It basically serves as a reminder to fill in all required cells in a sheet that may be located in different cells. How can I write a formula in one cell that will look at all source cells and tel me that some are empty?
NameAgeLocation

I have a problem with VLOOKUP looking in sorted lists of more than 16384 items.
Basically it fails at 16385th item
I have developed a VLOOKUP function that looks up in multiple tabs in
multiple files and returns a value. However I have discovered that it fails
at row 16385. As Excel copes to 64,000 rows I regard this as a bug. Has
anyone else encounteed this problem? is it just my machine, is there a
solution / bug fix?
If I use FALSE when the item to be found is beyond 16384 the function
returns the 16384th value this is a warning to other users who may not have
noticed as I did not initially.

I need a little coaching on big data. I have two reports, one from a production system the other from the invoicing system. I need to reconcile the two reports to ensure our invoicing ties out to production. At this time I am focusing on 1 particular item code, but there are potentially hundreds of item codes.
I have 1 Item Code.
I have a around a hundred invoices. (Sample 100)
I have a few hundred different customers. (Sample 100)
I have several hundred lines of billing data. (Sample 650)
I have several thousand lines of production data. (Sample 40,000)
In the billing system, per invoice I might have 1 or more billing lines for this item, usually no more than 2.
In the production system, per invoice I might have 5 to 50 or more production lines for this item per invoice.
Example
Prod System:
30 lines of data has a run amount and a total run amount for each line.
I am looking for tools to reconcile this data. VLookup and Index/Matching is not cutting it. VLOOKUP does not move beyond the first line found. Index/Matching wants to add all the prod together. I can get subtotals easy enough. I have tried Concatenation, but when it takes multiple production data lines to equal 1 billing line, this does not work. I needs some thing that can look at the Qty on a billing invoice and tie it out to various lines of production data to identify which production jobs went on that line of the invoice.
Here is a sample. These are fairly easy to resolve, but others are not so easy due to number of production and billing rows.
Invoice number
Billing item
Est. Quantity
Actual quantity
Billable Qty
Sales order
Position number
Sequence
Agreement
Billing source
Description
Total Billable Qty
[Code] ..........

I don't know if this is possible but thought i'd check. Could I put together a look up that pulls through the 5 best performing categories' so say i have 200 categories, just to pull on to a report page the top 5 and their result, and produce a report weekly so if the top 5 change it updates this?

I'm trying to compare two very large files to find some that are in one AND also in the other. I'm using =VLOOKUP(C2,Parts2!C:D,1,FALSE) and my results are #N/A for all of them. I have formatted both columns as 'General' because there can be letters and numbers in the serial number, I have also tried formatting as text to no avail. I have confirmed no preceding or trailing spaces or other special characters.
I am however, able to locate values in both documents using Ctrl F. I'm totally puzzled because I've always been able to figure out what's causing my Vlookup issues when I have them but this time I'm not able to.

I am working with an excel spreadsheet. There is a column for "name", and then the next column is for medical condition.
If the same patient has multiple (say, 4) conditions, the rows for "name" are combined into a single cell(let's say, a cell going from row 2 to row 5, witha a single name in the combined cell) , with the next column having four different cells adjacent to the single cell (cell 2 has "bleeding", cell 3 has "fever", cell 4 has "diarrhea", and cell 5 has "rash"). Some patients have only single conditions, single cells.
Will this mess up COUNTS and COUNTIF?
Is there a way to split the combined cell2-5 for ''name" into four cells all containing the same name?

I have several spreadsheets referencing the "Data" sheet's table (about 35 columns, and the row lengths will differ from 10 to several hundred).
I need to be able to filter the table in "Data", and have the hidden rows not show up everywhere else in the document. I have both vlookups and index formulas in the other spreadsheets, and what I'd like to do is be able to filter by any column in the table and have only the shown results show in the other sheets.
I know this might be accomplished using subtotal, and Row, etc., but how to set it up with the different formulas I have going on in the sheet that pull data from the table. I need this to work with both the vlookups and index cells.

I use excel and would like to know how to copy a large volume of address data but at the same time filtering out irrelevant data placed under each other in a row, in this case, air compressors air conditioning web address etc ( see below for example). I need the first 5 lines only. The rows of unwanted data are irregular i.e some have 10 lines, others 5 , and others 2 or one line which makes using a formula difficult as there is no consistency. The data eventually need to be placed horizontally in columns to be compared to other address lists. To make matters worse, the text data has been merged and wrapped.

I have a one column spreadsheet. The column contains this data:
1 Name
2 Address
3 City
4 State
5 Zip
6 Telephone
7 Fax
8 URL
9
10
11 Name
12 Address
13 City
14 State
15 Zip
16 Phone
17 URL
18
19 Name
20 Address ... and so on
Where there may be one or two blank rows between the individual records and where there may or may not be a Fax number (or row) in the record.
I am trying to convert this data to a horizontal column format - which works fine if I do a copy/paste special/transpose. However I have to do this for 1,800 records and cannot figure out how to do this reliably.
I gave the above illustration to simplify but, actually this is a two column spreadsheet with individual row labels for every record using the above terminology. In other words the above text is in the first column and the data is in the second. Just thought I'd mention in case there was a way to do some kind of if/then formula.

the question: i'd like to split a large cell in to smaller, fixed-size cells (columns) by a standard formula.
example: consider cell A1 = 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ' i'd like a formula that created B1 = 'ABCDE' C1 = 'FGHIJ' D1 = 'KLMNO', etc
I used =Left (A1, 5) and got A1 = 'ABCDE' easily enough. I'm stumped at coming up with a formula that provides the next 5, and the next 5, etc.
the setup: if you want to know why i really need to solve the question i'm asking rather than using the split cell function:
i have a large set of data from a vendor. ideally, this worksheet will be used for other vendors that submit data similarly.
the script i'm writing takes a specific format--which i can't logically hold the vendors to. so, my specific formatting is on one sheet, referencing the data from each vendor on another sheet.
there is one field of data from vendors that is large ( >4000 characters, typically). however, this field makes my SQL server puke. i need to break this field down in to chunks of 1000 characters, and then re-concatenate after it leaves SQL to its final destination.
because i want to use some script automation to reuse this project, i'm reluctant to just use the split cell function to break up the data. rather i'd like to use whatever data is provided, and referentially split it up in my pre-formatted data.

I'm trying to use the Large function with multiple cells to get the highest value of the cells. Excel won't let me use the following formula.
=large({a1,f1,j1,o1},1)
Any other ways to get the largest value from multiple cells with or without an array.

Is there a way to return not only one cell but two with LARGE?
I'm still working on my top 5 sellers list and trying to generate the list correctly. As of now when I have multiples of the same value I get the same name. Here's what I have now:
Name---Sales
Bob---75
Sue---68
Tim---66
Tim---66
Tim---66
What I'm trying to do is this:
Name---Sales
Bob---75
Sue---68
Tim---66

I have the attached spreadsheet which makes the question easier to understand. Basically when you read across and down rows and columns, I'd like the intersecting cell to turn red if the horizontal and vertical row columns letters are different. So in the attached B5 is red because B1=A and A5 is B. Where the intersecting cells match in values, the cells will stay white.
I can create a formula to conditionally format one cell to red: =A2<>B1
But I have a large grid and it would mean re-creating each formula for each cell. How to expand it to the whole range?

This is my first post on this forum and I am an Excel novice. I have a worksheet with lots of blank cells and I need to shift all the cells with data all the way to the left (to column A). I cannot get the sort or filter functions to do this for me, and I've never used macros but it appears they might be useful for my problem. I'd like to find an automatic process to move the data left rather than drag and drop hundreds of times. I'm attaching the complete xls file for your viewing.

I have a sheet with 200 sheets in called workbook x , I need to create a summary new workbook with only data on 1 sheet.
I want to pull specific cells from the large workbook x to 1 single sheet on a summary workbook:
A6 I want to be surname taken from B1 of workbook x
B6 will be first name taken from C1 of workbook x
Then I will copy data from M1 on mastersheet to cell C6 on new workbook
Then I want to copy Row A11 up to T11 and paste on the new workbook (Summary) in D6 staying in the row 6
Not sure if this is the tricky bit I want to repeat as above B11 to T11 but paste in the next empty cell of the same row of D in my summary
I need to repeat this action upto A23 to T23
Then I need it to move on to the next sheet in X and repeat all the steps above but do it on the next row down row 7 and so on

I heard there is an efficient way of writing large amounts of data at once to a worksheet. My program is writing alot of data (e.g. 600+ items in each row) and takes over an hour to run because it writes to each cell one-at-a-time. I seached this forum and couldn't find the answer. Here is an excerpt from an old 1998 article by Dermot Balson and William Mercer that used code to write to cells in large chunks but it doesn't work for me - I get a method failed message.
'to read in
Dim A As Variant 'MUST be variant, no brackets
A = Range("SomeRange").Resize(10,20) 'reads 10x20 array starting at range SomeRange
'(NB I've used Resize above but you can specify a range of cells any way you want)
'to write back to sheet
Range("SomeRange").Resize(10,20) = A
'A can be any data type but MUST be two dimensional even if you are only writing one
'column or row - first dimension is used for rows, and the second for columns
'this can be slow - see third question below for workaround..
Here is the link to the article: http://www.avdf.com/apr98/art_ot003.html. A more detailed explanation how this trick works

I have a group trip coming up where we took in a $1000 deposit per person. The total amount is only in the main members cell. There will be two more payment amounts coming. I need to make certain each person has paid the total amount they are required for the trip. There are two possibilities for total trip amount. Double occupancy is $15,500.00 and Triple is $14,500 per person.
There is a unique Identifier for each registrant, except when there is a multiple person under one registration the identifier has all the same number except at the end. I figured out a way to strip the number down to just show the same number in one registered group. There could be up to 10 people under one registration. I might not have the best option for breaking down the Identifier number, but thought it would be a good start. Used the code Left(column, number).
Issue is this. How can I now take the total number of people under one group take the total deposit and split it between just that unique group so I can then determine what is still owed after payments are made.

I want to link a number of cells on one worksheet back to another worksheet within the same workbook. Say everything from Cells A1 to M90.
I find the fastest way to do this link A1 on second worksheet to A1 on first worksheet (by using = and click on worksheet 1 Cell A1).
I then click on cell A1 on worksheet 2, grab small square in bottom right hand side of cell, and drag accross to M1.
While A1 TO M1 is still highlighted, I then grab small square on bottom of cell M1 and drag down to M90.
This makes all cells within this range reference back to worksheet1. In advanced settings I have unchecked for all blank cells to show a zero in woksheet 2.
Therefore I now have what I currently want, although I would like to make all reference absolute?
I tried doing this from the beginning again making A1 absolute at the start, but dragging the cells across and down does not provide the info I am looking for in all cells?

create cells which could be expanded/shrunk, to either show the first sentence or so of the essay, or the full essay. I'd need to be able to expand/collapse each cell individually, not by row or column as the tutorials I've found have shown. I'm pretty sure I've seen this done with a little +/- sign in the corner of the cell but I can't find the option. It would be a bit like on a website that have show more, show less buttons.
