Lookup - Criteria Word Variation
Aug 6, 2009
I am trying to find a solution to a vlookup issue. I have attached to this post a sample excel file which will make it easier to understand. I have data in one table (Table 1) where the records consist of addresses with street field, city and zip. These records have to be flagged based on the street address (number and street name provided the city or zip is the same) with a flag called "Type"(as an example Type 1 or type 2, etc).
Than I have another table (Table 2 or the lookup table) that has unique adrresses with the "Type" field that needs to be brought over to Table 1. The issue that I run into is that addresses in Table 1 have variations such as 25 Main Street can be as 25 Main St., or 25 Main St, or 25 Main st., Apt 2, which all should be recognized as 25 Main Street. All we care is to flag 25 Main Street with it's appropriate flag from Table 2.
Data in Table 1 can be in the 100k or more records in some cases so any manual intervention would be very time consuming and not efficient. Now I've tried doing lookup only on the 3 or 4 left characters of this field but than you get thrown a curveball when the address is for example 25 Maitland Avenue, which will falsly flag them as 25 Main Street. Plus house numbers can be 25 Main, or 255 main 2554 Main or 2 Main, so it is not functional to use the left function nested within vlookup. This issue seems to be more of a logical validation, which I don't know how to approach. The best way to think about this is when you go print a priority label on the USPS website and they correctly validate your address eventhough you might have mistyped your address.

I have been working on a spreadsheet with 3 sheets and have done everything except the last function which I just can't work out. Data is entered on the first sheet in a list with an item number, description, dates etc and then finally, if they are a certain type of item, a variation, a 'variation number' in a column.
The next sheet is then called 'variations' and here starts my problem. I want to have a formula that picks up if a variation number has been entered on sheet one in the 'variation number' column and if so, add that item into this sheet, in order.
So to summarise, I need sheet 2 to search on sheet 1 in a specific column for numbers 1-30(ish) for a series of items. I then need sheet 2 to list each of these in order, copying over each item that goes with the number from sheet 1 in the same format.

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 created a workbook for keeping records of all maintenance to vehicles in our fleet.
I have a sheet called Vehicle maintenance input:
& then another 10 sheets with the vehicle callsign.
So
Sheet 1 :- Input all data sheet
Sheet 2 :- Y4
Sheet 3 :- Y7
& so on.
I need a formulae that will copy multiple info to the relevant sheets, I have found a way of copying multiple info, with the formulae below, but I can't get it to work if there is more than 1 sheet.
=IF(ISERROR(INDEX($A$1:$B$24,SMALL(IF($A$1:$A$24=C$27,ROW($A$1:$A$24)),ROW(2:2)),2)),"",INDEX($A$1:$B$24,SMALL(IF($A$1:$A$24=C$27,ROW($A$1:$A$24)),ROW(2:2)),2))

I've got a sheet where I've got products in one column.
The second criteria is "week #" for which the row remains consistent but the column varies e.g. "week 8" could be in cell L12 today and in L18 tomorrow.
I would like to return the value of the cell at which a particular product and week intersect. e.g. if "product a" is in B20 and "week 8" is in L18, I want the value of cell "L20" returned.
Product to determine Row #, Week to determine Column # for returning value.
If they interest multiple times, I would like to sum up the values intersecting.
Neither product nor week # is unique in the sheet.

I'm trying to create a lookup formula where it matches the beginning of words and returns the value of a cell I choose. This is my layout. In Workbook1 in column E I have a list of medicine names which i'm putting in from personal medical lists. These names are not "complete", i.e. they aren't the exact names of the medicines. In workbook 2, I have a sheet with the exact names and corresponding codes of the medicines. I want to return the code of the medicine. The beginning of the names of the medicines are the same, so I want to lookup the the X first letters of the medicines I write in manually (Workbook1 column E) and find it in Workbook 2 column B and return value of Workbook2 column A for that medicine (on the same row).

I think those are what I need but I can not get it to work.
What i would like is:
In column E rows 2-12 I will be entering one each of the items listed below in column e rows 14-23. As I enter an item in section (e2-e12) the corresponding entry in section (e14-e23) disappear leaving me with only the choices that have not yet been used.

Is it possible to use a vlookup to produce a number of results…
I have a list of surnames, and I want to use the vlookup to find all the Smiths in the list, obviously a basic vlookup only brings back the first Smith it finds….
=vlookup(A1, download,1,false) , where A1 is some sort of search box for users
or is there a simple VB solution?

(First please don't send me a link on how to subtract time or show Negative time. I know about 1904 ect.. I can't use that. I need a variation on the formula I am using if possible)
A1 I have a time
A2 I have a time
A3 I have a formula subtracting A2 from A1
The times will vary in A1 & A2. Sometimes A1 will be earlier or later thus giving me negative or positive times. I have a formula that will give me a correct answer but will always show either Positive or Neg depending on what I put in the last part of the formula "-H:MM or H::MM" =TEXT(MAX($A$1:$A$2)-MIN($A$1:$A$2),"-H::MM") in A3. I want it to do the subtraction but say if A1 is > than A2 then "-H::mm", If A1 is < A2 then "h::mm". I don't know if that is possibly or how to incorporate that into what I have.

I have three columns that contain data.
Column A, Column B, and Column C.
Now if data for a certain column is invalid, it will contain text as follows: "N/A". I want to color code the variation existing for the the three columns.
For example:
If on row 3, 3A contains data, 3B contains data, but 3C contains N/A, i want the color of all three cells to be blue (not text color but fill color).
If on row 4, 4A contains N/A, 4B contains N/A, and 4C contains data, I want the color of all three cells to be yellow.
and the rest of the variations as well (5A contains Data, 5B contains N/A, and 5C contains data then all three green etc... etc..)
Of course logically the condition is strictly related to the N/A, and the rest of the data can contain text and numbers if it is not N/A.
Can the color coding be placed in RGB format as well? or can I create a cell with the fill color desired as a reference (in other words a legend that I can refer to when color coding the sheet)?

I have a list of text values in column X. I need to come up with a formula in column Y.
X
Y (RESULTS OF REQUIRED FORMULA)
Comment
1
HAT
1
First HAT in column
2
[Code]....
I can't play about with the natural order of the spreadsheet, so there's no chance I can re-sort the data into column X and (easily) identify the duplicates that way. So, it could be that the duplicated value(s) will appear in any cell within that column.
I need to identify whether the item is a duplicate in the unsorted list. Ideally, the first entry of a set of duplicates will be given 1, then the subsequent duplicates themselves given a 0 (zero). It's to subsequently do some counts on.
I guess that as long as the one of the entries in the duplicates is marked with a 1, while the others are 0 (zero), that's all that's important.

I am trying to clean up my code by using named ranges so that it will still work if/when others add columns or rows to the spreadsheet. These should be pretty easy solutions for most of you but I can't seem to find any answers online.
Here are 2 examples of the code I am trying to update:
I was thinking that replacing "A" with "namedRange" would work but I suppose that's not how the Columns application works. How can I modify the code below to work with a named range instead of the fixed column "A"?
[Code].....
For the following I would have thought that replacing "AU" with "namedRange" would do the trick as that's how things have worked for me in the past using the Range application. Unfortunately I get an error when I make the change.

I have an excel program that is supposed to count word instances in a word document. I can't seem to find the right declaration for a word document.
For example to declare a workbook in excel its
Dim wb As Work Book
I've tried
Dim doc As Word.Document
'or
Dim doc As Word.Application
as shown in some of the forum posts, but an error user-type not defined keeps displaying.

I'm trying to use a variation of the COUNTIF function to generate a total number of occurrences. The RANGE is a singular column on each of five tabs in a spreadsheet, but the CRITERIA (hopefully) is made up of two separate cells on one tab of the same spreadsheet. Here is the formula as I have it written:
=if(A2="","-",sum(countif('Monday-No Shows'!D:D,or("*" & A2 & "*","8),countif('Tuesday-No Shows'!D:D,"*" & A2 & "*"),countif('Wednesday-No Shows'!D:D,"*" & A2 & "*"),countif('Thursday-No Shows'!D:D,"*" & A2 & "*"),countif('Friday-No Shows'!D:D,"*" & A2 & "*")))
The purpose of this formula is to check to see how many times a student does not show up for an appointment over the course of their time with us. We have one tab with all the pertinent info on each student and I'd like to use this formula for a "No Show" column to more easily know when to cancel a student's services. The problem is that I can only get the function to search for one criteria right now. I've tried using the OR function and adding it to the current function but it always gives me 0 as the result, but if I take out the OR it returns me a higher number. Here's what it looks like with the OR added:
=if(A2="","-",sum(countif('Monday-No Shows'!D:D,or("*" & A2 & "*","*" & B2 & "*")),countif('Tuesday-No Shows'!D:D,or("*" & A2 & "*","*" & B2 & "*")),countif('Wednesday-No Shows'!D:D,or("*" & A2 & "*","*" & B2 & "*")),countif('Thursday-No Shows'!D:D,or("*" & A2 & "*","*" & B2 & "*")),countif('Friday-No Shows'!D:D,or("*" & A2 & "*","*" & B2 & "*"))))
A2 designates the students first name and B2 designates their last name. If I eliminate the OR and resort to multiple COUNTIF's, it will generate twice the number of responses that I want, I fear.

I have duplicate product ids on same date with different unit sold and need to extract all the unit sold for a product id on a particular date. How to concatenate a formula? The array formula that I use does not work:
=IF(MIN(IF(UnitsSoldOnlineVlookup!$A$2:$A$980=A2,
IF(UnitsSoldOnlineVlookup!$C$2:$C$980=B2,
ROW(UnitsSoldOnlineVlookup!$A$2:$A$980)-

The formula needs to lookup units sold in UnitssoldOnlineVlookup tab and enter them in Units sold column (highlighted in orange in the attached UnitsSold workbook) in Performance tab.

I have attached a workbook with 2 worksheets Refund & Factor. In brief I wish to work out the refund on a ticket. To do this I have entered the start date & surrender date. In C29 I have a formula that gives the datediff in months & days. I then have some VBA that extracts the numbers and enters them into D29 & E29.
I now need a formula to look at the factor sheet and find the intersection between 3 (months) & 19 (days) which is 13.96 and copy this to B36 on the refund sheet.

Currently using Lookup(2,1/...) to match 2 criteria before giving me my end result. It works perfectly. I'm now needing to match 3 criteria... is there an easy way to modify this to allow it? My Current formula looks like
=LOOKUP(2,1/(Upload!$D$1:$D$25&":"&Upload!$F$1:$F$25="Gordon Brown "&":Downing"),Upload!$I$1:$I$25)
And as well as matching Gordon Brown, Downing, I'd like to match the word Motor which it would search in Column E of the Upload sheet.

I need some VBA help for my project...
attached is my sample spreadsheet...
I need the excel to be program so that when i input the 'Grade' and 'T', it will automatically select the py value.
Say i select the Grade S275, and input T= 10.4, thus excel will look up at the S275 table, then to the T< 16 (because T=10.4) and thus select '275' and input it at cell E7.
if i put input Grade S355 and input T=43, then it will look up at the S355 table, then to T<63, and then select '335' and inout at cell E7

I am having some difficulty creating a lookup that takes two values and uses them both to perform an action analagous to a vlookup. That is, use the two input criteria to select a roow of data, and then taking an input column number to return the resulting cell's value. I cannot concatonate and create an index because my second value is a number that may not match exactly. I also need it not to involve too many loops as it will be used thousands of times on the same sheet on my client's older machines.
I have seen the listmatch and matchinglists examples on Ozgrid and they do not quite address my need. I am not an excel novice, but my VBA is not that strong. the codes I have written to date ( attached) will not allow my data set to be on a different tab than the tab on which the function is used, as i require.

I am trying to lookup the value in a table based on two criteria. For the purpose of illustration, I attached the file here. What I am trying to do is that I want to fill Table 2 with data from Table 1 which match the company and the dates. If all the dates match for the companies, that problem would be much easier, However, as you can see the dates from each company do not match on the same row,totally massed things up. In my real file I have 70 companies, any one have a solution for this??

I have two workbooks. I'll call them wkbk1 and wkbk2.
I am looking at three cells in the same row in wkbk1.
I need to identify which row in wkbk2 contains those values and then return a value from a cell in the same row in wkbk2.
How do I structure this look up?

I am looking up values L, M, and S from a seperate worksheet based on two factors. age in months, and gender. I have read enough to figure out how to lookup values L,M,S one at a time using a vectorlookup, from one worksheet to another. However, the LMS values being looked up are for females only. I know I must get the gender codes worked in but not sure how to work this in.
I don't know if I need an and If function, to meet the gender (1male, 2 female) or what.

I'm trying to figure a formula that provides a numerical value when certain criteria are met across a range of cells. The criteria are numerous though and here is where I'm having trouble.
For example, the formula needs to look at Cell A5, then at a range of cells (C5,G5, E5, I5) and depending on the value of those cells provide a predetermine result in Cell K5.
For example, IF (A5 = 'A', and C5=1 or G5=1 or E5=1 or I5 = 1, then P5 must = 15), or if (A5 = 'A', and C5 or G5 or E5 or I5 = 2, then P5 must = 10), or if (A5 = A, and either C5 or G5 or E5 or I5 = 3, then P5 must = 6), or if (A5 = A, and either C5 or G5 or E5 or I5 = 4 then P5 must = 2), or if (A5 = A, and C5 or G5 or E5 or I5 = 5, then P5 must = 1)…….this needs to be duplicated for a list of possiblities.

I'm making a schedule grid has varying start & stop times. I've made a table so the people using it can check that there is overlap when they are scheduling themselves and the members of their shift.
The rows have the employees and the columns has the hours, (one row for each hour in the year 2013)
Each employee has a 1 under each hour where they work and they can easily see where their shift overlaps onto the next persons and by how many hours. I also have a row on the bottom that checks how many people are on at any given time so everyone can check that we have a minimum number of people on and a maximum number as well.
As it is pretty difficult to look at this grid as it is, i made a 2nd table which we could print to see which days we shoud come in and what time. (with each column being the day/ date and the cell having the time frame one comes in.)
The problem i have is that if any adjustments are done to the first table, (with the hourly columns) it isn't reflected in the 2nd table.
I've created a LOOKUP table with each hour/ shift, but i do not know how to have lookup check the starting hour, the ending hour, and what date it is.
I was considering placing a look-up formula in each cel for each employee for each day for the entire year, i just don't know what the formula should look like.

This is the key I created:
Record Kind
Group
Group Name
Category

The spreadsheet has the same columns so I need a formule to look in the spreadsheet and if it sees each combination as in the key to spit out the category name from the key.

I have an engineering spec table. Down 12 columns I have height in metres of a post and across the rows I have square metres with 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 being the sizes.
The engineering spec of the post type is in the table. There are some duplication of post types so post heights of 1m, 2.1m, 2.4m, 2.7m, 3m, 3.3m and 3.6m are the same, then they change. Its a similar thing in the other column headers for 10sq.m 15sq.m etc.
I need a formula so that if the post height of 3m was chosen and the sq.metres was 15 then it would tell me the post type from the table. Or if the post height was 4.8m and sq.metres was 25 it would tell me.
The post type is an engineering code of numbers and letters with no spaces.
