Limitations Of Lookup(2,1)
Nov 25, 2009
I'm currently using a Lookup(2,1) that looks up an unopened excel sheet stored locally.
When I enter the formula I always get a #NA.
What I was wondering was if its a limitation of the lookup funcation, or my PC not having enough resources.
The linked XL sheet is ~10mb, and has over 8000 rows.
Below is my current forumla that results in a #NA
=LOOKUP(2,1/('[Monthly%20Agent%20AHT%20Tracker%20Current.xls]Quote'!$B$1:$B$8500&":"&'[Monthly%20Agent%20AHT%20Tracker%20Current.xls]Quote'!$E$1:$E$8500&":"&'[Monthly%20Agent%20AHT%20Tracker%20Current.xls]Quote'!$M$1:$M$8500&"Team Leader"&":James Kinsey"&":""Privilege"),'[Monthly%20Agent%20AHT%20Tracker%20Current.xls]Quote'!$Q$1:$Q$8500)

We have an Excel file that is located on the network and is accessed by numerous individuals. Should someone need access when another user has the file open, we get a message that the file is currently in use and it also lists the user id of that person. The issue is that a particular user will open the file and keep it on their desktop for hours at a time. Is there a way to limit the amount of time that user can have the file open? Is there something within Excel that I can turn on that should the file not be modified for a particular amount of time that Excel saves the file and closes it down?

I recently bought a new Dell XPS 10 tablet with a keyboard. When I copied my spreadsheets from my old notebook, none of the countifs or countif functions are working, all popping out a zero. It work completely fine on my old notebook on which I have Excel 2010 installed. On the tablet I have the pre-installed Home & Student 2013 RT. Could this version have limitations to my functions? What can I do to get my functions working again?

I got this wonderful, beautiful spreadsheet/template i'm using now for my small business, and well, i've got it all tweaked and tuned so it looks beautiful on my screen (100% view in excel). I can look at it, and they way it looks, is the way it prints whether i opt for a PDF or (EEEEEK!) paper. I've sent this report and template i've put together with Mrexcel's support, and it's all primp and pretty and the person i send the spreadsheet to for review? he's looking at it at the same 100%, and lines are cut off when multiple rows are merged that have multiple sentences typed (technically reference to) in. he's tried to print both pdf and paper from his computer and had no issue. it comes out perfect. It only looks visually cut off. we're trying to avoid a second transmission back to me to reformat say something needs to be omitted. QA if you will.
my question: Is this some sort of issue relative to our screen resolution? is there a way i can optimally get what he is seeing when he views it electronically to be what i'm seeing electronically?

I have a macro that copys a worksheet a user-inputted number of times but throws an error after adding Sheet #62. The line it hangs on is:
Sheets(myTemplate).Copy After:=Sheets(i - 1)
Does anyone know if this is a problem with my code, a memory issue, or the workbook I'm using to copy? In the past when I've copied a lot of sheets in a workbook (to the same workbook), Excel sometimes won't let me add anymore but if I copy all the sheets to a new workbook it will sometimes let me add more sheets. I figured it was a problem with how Excel counts sheets.
Sub CopySheets()
myTemplate = ActiveSheet.Name
'First, jump through the validation hoops
Dim AddSheetQuestion As Variant
'Define the application input box question
showAddSheetQuestion:
AddSheetQuestion = Application.InputBox("Please enter the number of sheets you want to add," & vbCrLf & _
"or click the Cancel button to cancel the addition:", _
"How many sheets do you want to add?")
'Cancel or the X was clicked
If AddSheetQuestion = False Then..................................

I am writing a macro that scrapes information from other workbooks. I wanted to add a hyperlink on each line to the workbook that row's information came from. I tried both the VBA method of adding a hyperlink as well as the formula method. When I click on the link that was created, windows explorer opens up to a folder rather than opening the workbook. I have a feeling I am hitting some folder level limitation. The link is to a network share and here is an example of what it looks like:
\MYCOMPANY.CORPFILESCBOSEALDRIVEDeptROPSPT Billing2007 AdjustmentsMCBDApproved#01305.20075.25.07 - C - NAME.xls

I am using excel 2002 and I have found that when the workbook is shared and getting 2 or more users to open the workbook around the same time brings up a read only type prompt box for the 2nd ( and 3rd) user when the book hasn't fully opened for the 1st user/is still fully opening. Is this a limitation within excel or is there a way around this for example via vb code.
I know the more data a workbook has can cause it open a lot slower but is this the same for shared mode.

I'm trying to do a nested formula to automatically assign a region number based on what the County is. We have 88 counties we deal with, split into 7 regions. What is the best way to go about setting up a formula to do this, so I don't have to do it manually? I believe the last time I tried doing something like this, I received an error saying that Excel didn't support a formula as big as what I was writing.

I am trying to use the validation feature to calculate a check digit and the formula is too long to put in validation. I rewrote the formula to be shorter using math features instead of text, but apparently you can't use arrays in validation. Because of certain distribution constraints, using VBA is not possible so a UDF is out. Can either of these be shortened in anyway? I am not sure if it is even technically possible to solve this problem with these constraints.
Here is the "human readable" explanation of formula:
(Accept only 10 digit numeric value.)
Example Number: 123456789-3
Digits 1,3,5,7,9 are multiplied by 2 (weighted 5)
So 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 becomes 2,2,6,4,10,6,14,8,18Weighted 5's multiplied values then have their individual digits added (ex:12=1+2=3)
So 2,2,6,4,10,6,14,8,18 becomes 2,2,6,4,1,6,5,8,9
Weighted 5's sum is added to the sum of the Nonweighted 4 digits.
So 2,2,6,4,1,6,5,8,9,3 becomes 43
Add 24 to sum.
43+24 = 67
Checksum = (10-(67 mod 10)) mod 10
(Sum round up to 10 minus sum)
Method 1 ...

I think Match has trouble finding a value thats within a cell containing a lot of words.
Heres the example. I'm trying to find the word "Hello world" in cell B1, in Column A.
Column A
1 Lots of Text
2 Text Text. Hello world. text text
3 Text Text
Cell B1
Hello world
Column B2
Match("*"&B1&"*",A:A,0)
When theres only 1 sentence in Cell A2, the function works and returns 2.
However, when Cell A2 contains a few paragraphs the function returns #NA.
I don't necessarily need to use Match, if this is indeed a limitation does anyone of suggestions to work around, other than vlookup?

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.

Excel offers many ways to use a key to lookup a value (VLookup, Index/Match, DGet, and the rest). What's the fastest way to perform a lookup of a small table of, say, 30 rows of key-value pairs? Theoretically, it would be most efficient to use a branch table (also known as a jump table). See the wikipedia article for branch tables: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branch_table. Does Excel/VBA have a way to create a branch table for such lookups?

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.

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'm making my own gradebook (attached) and one of my sheets will list scores for each student in different assignments. I have one sheet which keeps track of all students and all assignments with other info. I would like to program cells in one sheet (the third in the attached file) to lookup a particular student's grade in a particular assignment. I figured trying a LOOKUP with an AND requirement might work but it keeps returning the message "could not find value".
My formula references the student's name and the assignment from the identifying cells so that it is easy to copy and paste. I wondered if it was this which resulted in the error, but doubt it.

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.

here is an example....
(this is on a sheet called Summary)
----A--------B --------C------- D
1Names----At Bats----Hits----Batting Average
2Tom-------38--------31------.816
3Derek------19--------14------.737
4Joey-------40--------28------.700
5Chris-------40--------27------.675
6Chuck------37--------24------.649
Using the LARGE function, Excel has created a list based on batting averages(on a separate sheet called Line-up). It looks like this.....
---A----------B
1Names----Averages
2 -----------.737
3 -----------.700
4 -----------.675
5 -----------.816
6 -----------.649
The problem I am having is figuring a way for Excel to also bring the corresponding names (after using the LARGE function to create the line up list).

I have a very large spreadsheet of customer information(I call it the master spreadsheet). Each row contains only 3 things: Account number, product bought, Price
Later I receive the money from the customer for that product(the pay sheet) that contains the exact same thing in the same order: Account number, Product bought, Price paid.
What I'm trying to do is compare the two spreadsheets so that when i receive the pay sheet of cusomters who have paid with the amount it will deduct it from the master sheet.
So it should compare account numbers when it finds a match then it should subtract the amount paid (column C) from the master spreadheet price column(column C also).
sometimes customers don't pay the right price so it has to be a subtraction so I can see if it was over paied, underpaid etc.
Right now I'm still doing it manually combining the two documents sorting it by account number and checking for matches in column A (account number).

I need to place a lookup table in a work book and I'm not sure how to do it.Below is what I specifically need in my workbook.
c. The workbook will need a lookup table that will lookup the tuition, clothing
and entertainment figures depending on the selection of college, and will
ensure that only the colleges on the list are selectable. That is, the
worksheet will not allow the user to enter another college not in the list.
The lookup list must be on a worksheet by itself at the end of the workbook.

I have 3 Sheets named Paid, Rejected, and Reprocessed.
On the Paid and Rejected sheets I have 2 fields Customer # (Column A), and Amount (Column Q). (The customer # field has many duplicates but the amounts are never duplicates)
On the Reprocessed sheet I have all the rejected items (all fields) and also a field named Reprocessed. I need to use a formula that will check the Paid sheet for any items that have the same Customer # and Amount and return the amount
There are 8,216 rejected items and 45,047 paid items. Some items were originally rejected have been reprocessed and show under paid.
Any thoughts on which formula I should use?

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.

In my workbook I have multiple sheets but I'm attaching a very simple workbook to demonstrate what I'm trying to accomplish. In my "Lookup" tab/sheet. I want to have known Latitude and Longitude data that will exist in columns A&B. Columns C & D will have address numbers and Street Name. I would like my lookup formula to find the longitude and latitude data from my "lookup" sheet, when the matching address information is typed in, in my 2009 sheet. I have to keep the street numerics and street name separate on this worksheet as well. I believe I'll need two separate lookup formulas as I need these formulas to start in cell G4 & H4 in my "GeoCoding1" sheet. Is it possible to have four columns of data to be viewed in a lookup formula? I tried this formula in cell G4 (GeoCoding1 sheet)

"If LOOKUP can't find the lookup_value, it matches the largest value in lookup_vector that is less than or equal to lookup_value."
"If lookup_value is smaller than the smallest value in lookup_vector, LOOKUP gives the #N/A error value."
how can i get the result to be "You have type the wrong data" if i've type that doesnt match the list of the lookup value ?

I am using an array formula (on the RIM Detail Sheet) to assign a weighting to a value taken from Irregular securities sheet; though the values that this formula need to return don't seem to be correct.
I am specifically referring to row 111 of RIM detail sheet. As the corresponding value on the Irregular securities sheet is > 50%; the array formula should return a result of 2 but instead its returning 10.

I have a file that I would like to lookup variable row and a variable column. I have tired vlookup and hlookup but these do not work because you have to specify a given column or row versus having that column or row be variable. Is there a way to do this.
Think of a set of times tables. I would like to input 8 and 9 and get 72 as an output. How could I go about doing this?
Or in the attached file, I would like to say A and 15 and get A15.
