Lookup Data In Another Workbook & Return Corrrespoding Value
Sep 13, 2006
I have two excel workbooks, i.e target.xls and source.xls. Assume
target.xls looks like this
letter number sound
a 1 a
b 2 be
c 3 cee
d 4 dee
e 5 ee
f 6 eff
g 7 gee
source.xls looks like this
letter number
a I
c III
d IV
g VII
In the target file, I want to be able to change the numbers of the letters found in the source file, so that the new target file will look like this.
new target.xls
letter number sound
a I a
b 2 be
c III cee
d IV dee
e 5 ee
f 6 eff
g VII gee
I believe there must be a simple way to do this using VBA.
I want to lookup the tags in sheet1 on sheet2 and see if they have a date in columnB. whatever date is in columnB sheet2 i want that same date to show up on sheet1. but if the there is no date i want the cell to remain blank. do i make any sense at all? look at my example. example2.xls
I have a book with multiple tabs in it. The first is a master customer file, including customer numbers. The next two tabs include multiple references to the same customers because they list multiple shipping addresses and contacts for each customer on a separate line. I want to be able to have the additional tabs refer to the master list and find the customer name, then return the corresponding customer # in the previous column for that customer. This is what I came up with: =IF(B:B=Sheet2!B:B,Sheet1!A:A,0). But the results simply returns numbers that increase by 1. It should repeat the same customer # for the number of times that customer name is listed based on how many addresses or contacts there are. What am I not doing right?
I have all my data on sheet 2 which contains tables that relate to information on regions, manufacturers, etc so it can be a large amount of tables which will change from month to month depending on a monthly list. For example, if “Region 1” is in cell B134 – the resulting data I need to pull out will be contained in C138:G232 ...or ”Region 2” which is in B235 – table info is in C239:G333, etc, etc.
On sheet 1, I have a cell (L7) that is populated by another formula. This cell is effectively my lookup to pull out information from sheet2 to populate cells in (sheet1) AE119:AH212 - same sheet as the reference (L7).
I need to look up the reference/resulting value that is in L7 on sheet1, find and match against the values in column B on sheet 2 and then pull in the corresponding table information.
If the value in L7 was not changing at all I could do.. in cell AE119… =OFFSET(sheet2!B134,4,1,1,1) etc etc ... but I am at a loss as to the value in L7 changing and incorporating a lookup… or maybe I am looking at it wrong..?
I have looked up match, offset, index and lookups on the forum and have managed to confuse myself even more. I have even tried taking some of the example formulas and amending with my references but to no avail.
Got a bit of a stinker here. (Well, it is for me anyway. I haven't used Excel in months)!
I want to use a VLOOKUP function (I think) to retrieve data from a list of Exchange Rates on a separate sheet.
The user enters a 'Period' number, selects an 'exchange' variable (the blue text cells). The hope is to lookup the data on the 'FX RATES 06-07' sheet and return the result in the green cells.
I've tried using VLOOKUP but one of the arguements specifies that you nominate a column to return the information - that's the problem, we don't know that information when asking Excel.
I have an array in excel, 4 columns: Month, Day, Stock, Price. I dont know the most efficient way to handle arrays. I know i can loop through an entire array to find a specific value, but if i have a large array, this doesnt seem efficient.
For example, I would like to find the price in an Array (or Range), when i know the value of two columns. If this were in a database, I would write sql like this: " select Price from TABLE where month = 1 and Day = 3". The result would be 40.21. How can i do this with an array? I have attached a sample spreadsheet with the example mentioned above..
I'm trying to compare 3 different worksheet in the same workbook and copying the unmatched values into a new worksheet. find the attached file. In the sample file, am comparing sheet1, sheet2 and sheet 3 with sheet1 as the base. the columns mite differ in their location but the column headers are same.. The difference, bolded cell, should be copied along with the header and the code, into a new file and has to be saved...
The main worksheet in my workbook contains lists of suppliers with unique Vendor Numbers, of which there are approximately 4,500 rows. There is another worksheet which holds approximately 6,500 entries I need to bring data from that sheet to the main sheet using the Vendor Number and the information that is held on 4 columns unique to that number.
The information is a classification system that comprises of 4 columns holding a mixture of numbers and text.
Worksheet 1 has the Vendor Number in Column A and the Classification destination starting in Columns Q, R, S & T.
Worksheet 2 once again has the Vender Number in Column A, and the Classification information in Columns C, D, E & F.
What I need guidance on is how to build the formula to copy the information across, or direction into what other method I should be looking at instead.
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 have a worksheet containing a list of states in column A and a list of companies in column B (along additional data in columns C-L). I want create a lookup formula on a separate worksheet where users can select the state from a dropdown menu and it will return the information from columns B-L for that state.
For example:
A B C D Alabama ABC Company Active Expires December 2009 Alabama 123 Company Expired Expired April 2008 Alabama XYZ Company Active Expires August 2009 Alabama Larry Company Expired Expired May 2006
How can I do this without losing my mind? I've tried various Index, Small and Match formulas and none of them work.
What I am trying to achieve is using the above can it check
C4:C7 Grouped and named "first" C8:C10 Grouped and named "second" C11:C13 Grouped and named "third"
If one from each group is selected it returns 1 value, if 2 of each are selected it returns a second value and if 3 of each are selected it returns a third value?
I thought by grouping them it may give me the desired results but all it does is change if I select more than one from any of the groups.
Macro (preferably) to look up some data in a workbook and paste it into another.
I have an active workbook with this format
Sheet1 Â ABCDEF1RECORDER IDDate HOUR IN KW Â Â Â 21000560805917/11/201100:15:00150Â 31000560805917/11/ 201100:30:00150Â 41000560805917/11/201100:45:00150Â 51000560805917/11/ 201101:00:00150Â 61000560805917/11/201101:15:00150Â 71000560805917/11/ 201101:30:00150Â 81000560805917/11/201101:45:00150Â 91000560805917/11/201102:00:00150
I have another workbook opened called "Carbon intensity" with this format
I would like to insert the values in Column B in the "Carbon Intensity" workbook into Column F in the active workbook corresponding to the dates and times.
This is an example of what it would look like afterwards
Sheet1 Â ABCDEF1RECORDER IDDate HOUR IN KW Â Â Â 21000560805917/11/201100:15:0015046631000560805917/11/201100:30:0015046141000560805917/11/ 201100:45:0015046051000560805917/11/201101:00:0015046261000560805917/11/201101:15:0015046371000560805917/11/ 201101:30:0015046381000560805917/11/201101:45:0015046691000560805917/11/ 201102:00:00150467101000560805917/11/201102:15:00150472
I have a work book with several work sheets, what I'm trying to do or find a a method of coping data from one sheet to another provided the data in any given cell matches a specific criteria. Example below:
Work sheet 1 is the primary sheet in the work book on this sheet I have a cell with a text value (Bob). Ok on the next work sheet 2 I need to search for a cell that contains (Bob). When or if it is found I need information from other cells in that row (where Bob was found) copied to work sheet 1 in a specified row and colum. If it is not found a negative value can be placed in the specified cells.
Say I have Source Workbook X 1, and Destination Workbooks X 4. The Source workbook contains a number of lookup values. I want the lookup values to be maintained in the single Source workbook, and I want this workbook to remain closed when the end users are using their Destination workbooks. It is critical that certain cells in the Destination workbooks have validated data in order for formulas and summarizations to be correct.
I'm happy if the Destination workbooks contain a lookup worksheet (perhaps hidden). In short, I'd like the contents from the Source workbook, Lookups worksheet, to just be replicated "as is" into the Destination workbooks, Lookups worksheet. I then want to do my data validation from that worksheet, which of course is open (data validation appears to only work with open workbooks).
I've investigated the techniques in this link: [URL]
Questions:
1) Are the techniques in that link about the best approach? i.e. an external link plus array formulas?
2) A blank cell in the source workbook (text column but formatted as General) is resulting in a zero in the external link. How can I make the external link exactly match the text as entered in the source workbook?
I have a tab that has 2 columns of data and I want to be able to return a value in column A if my data matches column B. If column B has the text TRUETRUE, I want to bring back the corresponding data in Column A. How do I return all the data in Column A for all the TRUETRUEs in column B? I can only get the first instance of TRUETRUE.
I have this vlookup formula and as you can see when I run it works good. The only problem is that I would like to have formula that it something is not found I don't get #N/A , but rather a 0 or blank.
Column A lists types of employees (managers, engineers, sales reps, etc.), each of which earns a seperate hourly rate. Column C lists hours worked, and Column D lists the total pay (Cx*Bx).
So column B is missing. Is there a way to generate the hourly rates in column B for each employee type in collumn A, i.e. if it's an Engineer, return $29, if it's a Technician, return $18, without an infinite set of True/Fasle conditions.
The only commonality between the two files is the last name. I can easily separate the last name off File B, since it is always 'last name, first name'. I want a lookup formula to use the last name from File B (after I separate it), lookup to File A, and if it finds a cell in a specified column that contains the same last name, return data from another column within File A.
I am trying to look up a value using VBA on 1 sheet and return it to a cell on another sheet.... I was hoping Evaluate sum product would work but I can't get it to. Basically I want to look up values in column C and D to locate the row then return value in column I specify.. below eg where Column C = SYD and column D = SHA, row = 6 .... value in L row 6 = 1
My Lookup formula gives back N/A rather than an empty cell. I was unable to find the solution in frequently asked questions. Everything points to using VLookup which I feel doesn't fit my situation as I am only looking at one row of text.
The length of my targeted range changes so I am wanting to use the lookup for an extra amount of rows to ensure I capture all the data at any given time. Once my lookup gets to the end of the list and finds a blank cell i get back N/A. I tried to include "" in my formula to combat this but it isn't working. I have been using IF statements elsewhere on my sheet but there are 30 arguments and I was forced to find an alternative.
I am trying to set-up a formula that will look up two different values of a grid (x & y) and the result will be the intersection of the two values (z). If there is not a value at the intersecting cell i will have it display "n/a". I have attached an example of what i am trying to do but i have no idea how to set up the formula. I forgot to mention that the index or chart above remains constant but the lookups do change. I believe i may have figured it out. Here is what i came up with for cell C19. Should i have done anything different? =INDEX($A$2:$E$8,MATCH(A19,$A$2:$A$8,0),MATCH(B19,$A$2:$E$2,0))
How to return the value of what i looking up. for example i want to find the value of A1 from a range of B1:B10 if A1 is B1 then it return the value beside B1 for example the value of B1 is C1
I have rows with text and numbers. In order to ensure that the numbers are accurate, I have a "QC formula" that calculates a check using all of the numbers from 1 row. The challenge is that the "QC formula" needs to vary depending on a text value within the row.
How can I lookup up the text value and then return the correct active formula for that row? I have too many differet text values to do a nested If statement. see simplified example below.

Hi there, please can you help me transfer data from 1 spreadsheet to another (I have attached a file which has 2 sheets).
I am trying to populate columns G to L (sheet B) with data from column H (sheet A) - the lookup is between 'Material' & '7410','7090','7680','7060','8630','7580' on sheet B & material & plant on sheet A.
I have tried H&VLOOKUP & INDEX/MATCH but I keep returning a #N/A..
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.
I have a list of names in sheet1 column A and 3 more list of names on sheet2, sheet3 and sheet3. What I'm trying to do is find a match for each name on sheet1 column A on the other sheets and depending on which sheet it was found, I need a specific value returned to sheet1 column B.
For example, if A1 was found on sheet2, then on B1 I would need to return the value "Morning" but if it was found on sheet3, then I need the value "Afternoon" and if found on sheet3 I need the value "evening" returned to B1 and then the same for every other name on the list found on sheet1 column A.
What I tried was this.
This goes in Sheet1 B1 (then I would drag it down to search for the rest)
Now the problem with this is that it only works if there is a match on sheet2 but if there is no match, it just returns "N/A" and it does not move on to sheet3 and/or sheet4.
I also tried with vLOOKUP instead of MATCH and the same thing happens.
I also tried this and the only thing I get is "Un-Assigned"
I have a total of 364 rows of data for this table.
My output table looks like the following:
{mod note - HTML not working and removed}
What I want the output from a formula(???) to do is put every 'Play Date' for each 1st, 2nd, & 3rd column for every number from 0 to 9. So under Column A for zero and 1st I want every date that is listed in the source table in column 1st to list out. All I can get is the first instance of a date and nothing else.esn't use that would be great.
FYI the formula that I used to get the one entry in column A row 4 was this:
