Lookup Data With Partial Match
Sep 4, 2006
My database includes data about period (column A), a product code (column B), Turnover previous year (column C), Trend (column D) and Turnover this year (column E). In column C i want to have the turnovers from a particular product code from the previous year. The difficulty is:
1. that the product code can vary
2. not all periods are availabe.
How can i formulate a formulate that shows the turnover from the previous year, and in case there is no data from the previous year it should show "n.a.". This formula must also take into account that product code can vary. In my example: C3 should show 1296, C4 should show 877, C5 should show 884 and C6 should show 960. In case the turnover of period 200104 was not available C3 should show n.a.

I am trying to create a lookup table that will lookup parts of a colum and return the second column in the table. For example, column A has a lot of different titles in it, they each contain different segments and codes in them but I need to see if NM is in the list and if it is I want to return a 1.
Column A Lookup COLUMN Lookup Result
NM01A NM 01
NM02B IN 02
IN01A
IN02B
I need to see if what is in the lookup column is in column A, and if it is then I need to return the lookup result.

consider the following master data
1AB Cat
2HB Dog
3BX Rat
1ABC Tiger
Now I have the following data, which will lookup the master data presented above and return the corresponding animal - For eg.
1AB29489284 CAT
1ABC0395935 Tiger
2HB29492492 Dog
The above CANNOT be done by VLOOKUP, since the class - Tiger, needs to be differentiated from CAT by the 4th letter. How can the above problem be solved???
(This question recently came in one of the Recruitment Exams)

I have a spreadheet which requires data from another spreadsheet. Spreadsheet 1 is only project numbers, spreadsheet 2 has all the customer data in it. I have used a 'vlookup' function to find the project number and copy the appropriate information over. The problem I have is the projects are a 6 number format (eg 531300) in both spreadsheets. In the sheet I want to complete, the project numbers only match the first 4 numbers, as they are seperated into sub-projects. Therefore the data in the data spreadsheet will only have a row for 531300, yet the one I fill in might have rows 531300, 531301, 531302 etc. Is there a way to run the 'vlookup' and only match the first 4 numbers. The current formula I have in the first cell is as follows: =VLOOKUP(A4,'[Project Database_Updated 04-30-08.xls]Sheet1'!$A$1:$E$1007,2,FALSE)

I have a simple lists containing two columns. One column contains a five digit number and the other a vendor name. The vendor name in most cases is two to four words. I am wanting to type in a partial string of the vendor name and it return to me the 5 digit 'vendor' number.
Col A Col B
20567 3M Electrical, Inc.
I want to type in '3m' or '3M' or 'electrical' or 'ELECTRI' and it return the 20567. The other part of this is that there may be two rows with the same info in which I would need to see both...
Col A Col B
20567 3M Electrical, Inc.
21789 3M Tape Division
Is this possible with standard lookup features in Excel or does someone have a VbScript or macro that will accomplish this?

I am using Excel 2010. I am a novice user.
I have a lot of data to filter / sort. I want to initially to create a filter for a column of data - which has the format similar to hierarchical paths to files. The data is a mix of text/numbers. e.g.
pathA/path_X/path_Y/path_Z/lso0_rxs_reg_254__5_0/d
pathA/path_X/path_Y/path_Z/lso0_rxs_reg_253__5_0/d
pathA/path_123/path_456/data_out_reg_17_0/d
pathA/path_123/path_456/data_out_reg_0_0/d
pathA/path_X/path_Y/path_Z/lso0_rxs_reg_255__5_0/d
[Code] .........
Doing an alphabetical sort of this date would return the following order. As you can see while each strings in unique - there are many instances where they are simialr - if you ignore the unique numeric values at the end of the string.
pathA/path_123/path_456/data_out_reg_0_0/d
pathA/path_123/path_456/data_out_reg_17_0/d
pathA/path_123/path_456/data_out_reg_4_0/d
pathA/path_X/path_Y/path_Z/lso0_rxs_reg_230__6_0/d
[Code] ......
So what I want to do is to create a filter for the strings - but ignoring the numeric bits at the end i.e.
reg_[0-9]+_+[0-9]+/d
The strings are obviiously of varying length and the number of hierarchical paths is different, so I can't split string on "/".
Similarly folder paths names can contain "_" so can't split string on this either.
As I don't know how many "/" or "-" instances there will be in the string I don't believe I can use the find function. Also as the amount of number will be different i don't think I can use =right(a1,X) either.
I may be able to search for the pattern above - as this is probabay unique - so maybe it's something like the following pseudo code:
Function GetString(txt As String) As String
With CreateObject("VBScript.RegExp")
.Pattern = "reg_d+(_)+d+//d"
GetString = .execute(txt)(0)
End With
End Function
If I do require VBA code - how do I then use this for creating a column filter? Or will I have to extract the filtered data first from the column (and its associated row data) into another worksheet to use?
Once I have the filter in place I want to create tables using the filtered data - so for example each column value above has a lot of associated data values in each row e.g
26 pathA/path_123/path_456/data_out_reg_0_0/d
32 pathA/path_123/path_456/data_out_reg_17_0/d
8 pathA/path_123/path_456/data_out_reg_4_0/d
So my table would show the name "data_out_reg" and the range of values 8-32

I have a list of items in Column A and size info on Column B i want to being in the info to another sheet with a vlookup but the problem is that I have a lot of items with different colors so after the item no. it has a dash and a letter or two for the color so i want to bring into my new sheet all info.
I have in my old sheet for all items regardless of color so for instance in my old sheet i will BR1000-EM and then in my new sheet i will have BR1000-R and BR1000-SA and BR1000-YC how do i make a vlookup it should only lookup the values in both sheets only till the dash (i cant use a certain no. like left,6 because the item no can have more then 6 but it always has a dash when it has a color code) also not all items have dashes so the dash is not always there but when its there i would like that the lookup should stop by the dash.

This is for Excel 2007,I have two sets of model numbers. One set is the full model numbers of the units we use, and the other is an abbreviated form used to lookup up certificate numbers. I need a way to match these up so I can use one set of search criteria to find out if there is a match. Here is an example of what I need to match with a partial text match:
H,AE35(6,9)36+TD and AE3563636D145C2501AP
H,RE36(6,9)36 and RE36936C145B2505AP
if I could do this with a formula that matches multiple items at the same time (ie; if A & B & C match=true) with the above model number being one of those items (certificate numbers are issued for sets, but the other model numbers are fine).If that's not possible, a one time VBA run to match all of the abbreviations at once would also work. If these items are matched up with a one time VBA, the VBA needs to account for their being more than one match for each abbreviation depending on the size of the unit.
So H,AE35(6,9)36+TD could be matched to:
AE3563636D145C2501AP
AE3563636D175C2501AP
AE3563636D210C2501AP

I have a WB with multiple sheets. I have a Feed sheet that automatically pulls data from the web. I have a Scores sheet that currently has all head to head matchups each week for an entire season. So I want to check the cells on the Feed! sheet to find a partial match and if partial match exists then copy cell that contents score from feed sheet to the score sheet next to the appropriate teams name. Currently I have to manually enter all scores each week for the rest of my WB to update.
I need to look at Cell A3 (on the Feed sheet) which has "New York Jets" then search for a partial/similar match on the score Sheet (which is NY JETS, in this case). NY JETS could be in column B (rangeB2:B257) OR column D (rangeD2:D257) BUT I need to search by row, not column, then once a match is found check the cell to the immediate right and only if the cell is blank copy data from the (!feed) sheet to that blank cell on the (!scores) sheet
This is what happens if working right =
look at cell A3 on the (!feed) sheet = "New York Jets" then search (!scores) sheet Column B and Column D by row for a partial match, finds "NY JETS" as match in cell D8, if cell E8 is blank then copies cell H3 from (!feed) sheet, and pastes to cell E8 on the (!scores) sheet, if cell is not blank continues search until 1st blank cell to the right of matching cell is found (as there will be mutiple matching cells with blank cells to the right but I am only interested in the 1st blank cell found, once found and data copied the process is done and then starts over with cell A4)
Look at cell A4 (!feed)= "New England Patriots" then search (!scores) sheet Column B and Column D by row, finds "NEW ENGLAND" as match in cell B8, if cell C8 is blank then copies cell H4 (!feed) sheet, and paste to cell C8 (!scores)
Once this is done it moves on to the next cell in the next row on the (!feed) sheet, A5, to find a partial match for the data in that cell. I need to continue the search for each cell A3 to A74, and if no match is found to move on to the next cell A6... (based on the way the data is pulled in from the web there are some blank cells as well as some cells that say Game Final, this data won't be on the scores sheets in column B or D).

I am doing the partial lookup to get the total amount based on a certain criteria.
For example in sheet1 there is a table and on sheet2 I have to pull out the data from sheet1.
Column A
Column B
Provision of Maisie System User -
56988.89
Provision of Maisie System User - first 12 free
7451.78
Provision of Maisie System User - first 12 free (rebate 1 May 08)
-487.25
[code]....
The formulas which i m using is =VLOOKUP("*"&$A$2&"*",$A$2:$B$10,2,0). Its giving me the first value as there are duplicates i need the total sum. For example:- Maisie amount which i m getting is 56988.89 but i want total maisie amount which is 56501.64.

I need to do a lookup in a column for part of a string and return the adjacent value in a different column. Works fine using VLOOKUP as seen in the following example except that the return value is being truncated.
Lookup range in column A:
A001,A002
A003,A004
A005,A006
I need to find A001 and return the value in column I of the same row. I am currently using {VLOOKUP("A001", LEFT(A1:I500, 4), 9, 0)} This does work entered as an array formula but it is only returning the left 4 characters of the column I value. I need to lookup the left 4 characters in the lookup range but return all the characters in the return range.

I have one list of waybill numbers which are 12 digits long and I have another file of waybill numbers which are 15-16 digits long. I have tried a VLookup but I do not get matches on these since the digits are not the same length. Is there any other formula I can use to match a 12 digit waybill against a 15-16 digit waybill number? I am assuming that if 12 digits match in both lists that it is an exact match.

How to check for a partial match looking in one cell, A1 for example, and checking to see if the contents of B1 show a partial match (example attached).
I can't use the vlookup because I only want to look at cells specifically, not a table/list. Please also note that the attached example has no formulas.

I have a long list of categories in the column A (seen below). To this list i want to assign keys that will support with further calculations (in a column B).
An example of such a key would be in the case of the given example "ACTION SPORTS" and "FOOTBALL". The whole list of these "keys" hast 17 elements.
It is evident that i will need some kind of a partial match. The one i have found on the internet, limittin itself just on the first or last number of characters wont work.
Would it be possible to select my "key - list" (all 17 of them). Then excel would asign a key, whenver it would find a partial match, matching the key?
Appendix:
The Data list (Column A):
ACTION SPORTS FTW
ACTION SPORTS FTW
ACTION SPORTS FTW
ACTION SPORTS FTW
ACTION SPORTS FTW

I am wanting to do is have the values from a number of cells on sheet2 returned to sheet1. The catch for me is that I am using the validation command on sheet1. When I select an item in the validation field I want to return data that belongs with that selection. It may be best with an example....
On sheet2 I have a list of companies in Col.A, their street address in Col.B & their phone number in Col.C.
On sheet1 I have a Validation field that lets me select from the list of companies...
When a Company is selected I want to have the address data & phone numbers returned and placed in the cells beside the Validation box.

I am using VBA
I have an input box pop up to ask the user for a base item number. The way the excel sheets part numbers work for example is TM-T88VP-GRY, the last part 'GRY' changing based on the variation of the item that someone ordered. So, the base item number would be TM-T88VP, and what I want to do is search through a set column (Column G) and delete any row that contains that base item number.

I'm working on a formula to make it enable a part of the text then return the best possible match. Below is my formula
=MATCH("*"&$A11&"*",'[Customer Master List - 05.30.xlsx]Export Worksheet'!$B$82:$B$1298,0)
However, it works with some text but won't work for some.
For example, I have this text CARE-A-LOT, INC and in the master sheet there is a similar text like this CARE-A-LOT. I want it to return CARE-A-LOT as this the best match possible.

From the attached file.
Column 1 is a file name
Column 2 is a list of file names (but some of the files have been split into -A and -B parts or suffixed with an A or B
I need to highlight in column B, if the exact file name in column A exists
Example:
Column A: BSDS-0001
Column B: does not have this exactly instead it has BSDS-0001-A and BSDS-0001-B
I need some indication/highlighting that BSDS-0001 does exist on column B
So an indication that the whole of the file name in column A appears partially in column B. I have tried using max character lengths searches etc but cannot get an accurate way of doing this.
