Lookup Function- Encounters A Blank Cell
Oct 18, 2007
I'm trying to use a lookup function that when encounters a blank cell, it uses a 0 to factor into an equation. In the lookups, like d9, if there is a blank cell, I would like it to use a 0 factored in. I keep getting #N/A.
Here is my formula:....

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 have one column that contains an If statement formula and would like the next column to then work off of the first column (i.e. if that 1st column returns a value then then adjacent column uses that result).
What is happening now is that it is returning #value (because I guess technically the cell isn't blank?)

I have a workbook with 12 sheets. On the 12th sheet I need some VB to go to each of the other tabs and find the letter “E” or “H” in column F. Once the “E” or “H” is found in column F and a number =>9 is found in column E then copy that row from column A-F and paste this row to sheet 12.
On sheet 12, I would like to be able to paste the row in a way that will hold the date in column A. The date can also be copied from each sheet found in cell E1. Also, the tab name has to be copied to sheet 12 with the row the E or H was found if “=>9 criteria” was met.

I have two spreadsheets.
spreadsheet 1:
Lookup from Order numbers listed from A5:A177.
requested formula in I5: I would like a lookup to sheet 2 based on the order number (F19:F191), to return the cell above the first non-blank value.
spreadsheet 2:
Lookup value:Order number listed from F19:F191.
Data search:AY19:CI191
return the (date) which is in the range above the data search from row AY18:CI18.
I've had a look at few forums but i'm getting mixed responses, having to use index / match / lookup / min / --.

I'd like to do an if statement that only brings in data from a cell if another cell is not blank...
=if(A1="not blank",A3,"")
I need the "not blank". Sometimes the cell is text, sometimes it is a number.

I have excel worksheet like this
HTML Code:Â
a b c d
1 bob math fail
2 bob biology success
3 bob (blank)
4 jane math success
5 jane biology success
6 jane (blank)
7 jake math success
8 jake biology fail
9 jake (blank)
I want to fill cell D3, D6, D9 automatically by a formula with condition if one lesson is fail then it's fail, but if both lesson is success then it's success
Example on cell D3 (blank cell on row for student name "Bob") should be fail (his math is fail), same with cell D9 (blank cell on row for student name "jake", due to his biology is fail), but on cell D6 (blank cell on row for student name "jane") should be success.

Is there a way to use the COUNTA function in cell A1, that will return the total number of cells containing text in the rest of row 1, BUT, will start the count over after a blank cell.
EXAMPLE: A2, A3, A4 all have text added on a daily basis. The value returned via COUNTA in A1 = 3 (after the third day). However, A5 is blank, then A6 gets text on the 5th day, and now I need the returned value in A1 via the COUNTA function to = 1, because we started over after a blank cell.
Possible?

How can i return a blank cell if the formula is looking at a blank cell with IF function?
E.g. IF(A1=" "," "," ")
(This is part of a bigger statement which returns a date if and when there is a date in the cell, if there isn't it comes up with an answer even though it should be blank)

I tried to answer a problem on here by giving this formula: = COUNTIF(A1:B6,"=""")
but it doesn't work on my machine. Nor does =COUNTIF(A1:B6,"<>"""). In either case, the effect is as if all cells in the range are non-blank. But the result of =A1="" is "TRUE". Neither syntax is rejected by Excel; in fact, if you omit one of the quotes, the syntax is corrected to the form shown. So I am curious. Does this work normally, but some setting in my machine is stopping it? Or, if it never works, why is it not giving a syntax error? I am using Excel 2000.

The following are on a sheet:
A1 = 5700
B1 = 235
C1 = 17:14
D1 = 5922
$E$1 = 09:01
$F$1= 3
$E$1 and $F$1 are (the only) absolutes/constants.
A2 contains the following:
=IF(A1>D1,B1,IF(A1+B1<D1,"d",IF(AND(C1<$E$1,B1<$F$1),"",B1))))
This translates as:
=IF(5700>5922,235,IF(5700+235<5922,"d",IF(AND(7:14<09:01,235<3),"",235))))
The result is a variable/number (235), "d" or a blank cell ("").
This formula is in a column and works fine where there are numbers in corresponding cells. The problem arises with corresponding cells which appear blank (show no values) but contain references to other cells: they result in a "d" when nothing should be displayed.
So while a corresponding blank cell is correct if it shows no values, it gives me this problem - I don't want "d" or anything.

For example if I were to take the data in cells d3($358), d4($321), d5($130), d6($82) and skip a cell to now make the same data into cells d3, d5, d7, d9. Next, the data in cells f3, f4, f5, f6 would be merge into the blank cells of d4, d6, d8, d10.
The final result would look like column B. I have over two years of sales data in two separate columns that I need to merged into one column. Is there easier way without a simple cut and paste one cell at a time as this would take an enormous amount of time to complete? I’m not that good with VBA codes so a formula works good, but if VBA is the way to go then tell how to enter it on my worksheet.

I am trying to perform a lookup (vlookup) function in a cell in excel and wish to have the range as a variable, so that I can adjust which column the lookup function refers to.

I am performing a lookup using the populare user defined function nlookup, which does not take a lookuparray argument to find lookup values. But I only want to return lookup values that fall into a certain array. To accomplish this, I figured out that I need a way to specify a condition of the type "if cell address of lookup value falls within range"
It should be possible if I find a way to return the cell address of the nlookup value, but as nlookup is not limited by a lookuparray argument, so I was not able to use the address/index/match that come up in similar questions.

I'm looking to create a macro that will take data from an input sheet, and paste it into a cell in another worksheet, based on criteria specified in sheet1.
Specifically in the attached example, the macro would copy the data in cells C8:C10 of sheet 1, then paste them into sheet 2 based on the data specified in cell B3 i.e. it would paste them into the column headed Mar-09. I intend to make this cell a drop down, so that the user can then select the next reporting month and run the macro again to paste the data into the Apr-09 column.

Assume you have a rectangular range. Say A1:M18. There are values in some random cells (any number of cells) within the range. The rest of cells are blank. In cell M19 (ie cell below the bottom right corner of the range), I need a excel function that returns the nearest (ie physical location) non blank cell value. I have searched the internet for weeks. The closest formula is the following (see below) but it is flawed as it returns zero if there are values in rows below the row of the nearest cell with non blank...and also zero if there is value in a column greater than the column of the nearest cell with non blank.
Closest formula so far:
INDEX(A1:M18,LARGE(IF(ISBLANK(A1:M18),"",ROW(A1:M18)),1)-ROW(A1:M18)+1,LARGE(IF(ISBLANK(A1:M18),"",COLUMN(A1:M18)),1)-COLUMN(A1:M18)+1).
And the function should be relative not absolute as the range can be extended..but the location of the formula remain same relative to the array size. (ie. always at below the right bottom cell).
NOTE: Ignore the special case where two non blank cells are the nearest. That will not happen.

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.

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.

London N/EAEA Mark Whitley
Midlands EM ABX Abbots Paul Hendron
London W/NHCEM BJA Blisworth Kim Mears
As you can see their is duplicate data as well as blank data, but i would like a field where the user types the following:
Database Ex Code (e.g.)

I am trying to add up wins and loses for individuals on a team. 6 players
There are 3 games per match and one match a week for 15 weeks. One sheet per week.
The players are inputted randomly each week. And the scores are entered after the match.
The following is a part of the formula that I am using but it returns a #NA because the cells in the weeks not played yet are blank, players and scores. Is there a better way to do this or a way I can ignore the blank cells until they are entered. Thanks in advance.
=SUM(LOOKUP($A$17,'Week 1'!$C$20:$D$23,'Week 1'!$E$20:$E$23),LOOKUP($A$17,'Week 2'!$C$20:$D$23,'Week 2'!$E$20:$E$23),etc.)
A17 is the players name, 1st range is where the players name would be entered, 2nd range is where the score is entered.

Can I get all the information from Employee & Benefits tab to populate in the 401K worksheet. All information is on these two sheets except status, plan entry date, and 2009 compensation.
True under Employees tab means that a person is still active and I would like for that date to populate the 'Hire Date' column; whereas, 'False' represents a person is termed and I would like for the false date to populate under termed. Can you use the social security number if its a V Lookup because I have thousands of rows and multiple people with the same last name.

A B C D E
1 DAY 1DAY 2DAY 3DAY 4
2 AAA1638
3 BBB7325
4 CCC3847
5 DDD5562
This is what I have. Now I want to see, for each day which has the highest value. so it should return BBB for day 1, CCC for day 2, DDD for day 3 and AAA for day 1.The formula I am using:
=lookup(max(B2:B5),B2:B5,A2:A5)
=lookup(max(C2:C5),C2:C5,A2:A5)
=lookup(max(D2:D5),D2:D5,A2:A5)
=lookup(max(E2:E5),E2:E5,A2:A5)
Tell you what, it is giving me correct result for column B,C,D but not for E. The formula for column E should return AAA, but for some reason it is returning DDD.

r(2) = Worksheets("sonuc").Range("j6").Value
Dim myRange As Range
Set myRange = Worksheets("giderler").Range("b6:b11")
x1(1) = Application.WorksheetFunction.Floor(r(1), 0.5)
x1(2) = Application.WorksheetFunction.Ceiling(r(1), 0.5)
x1(3) = Application.WorksheetFunction.Floor(r(2), 0.5)
x1(4) = Application.WorksheetFunction.Ceiling(r(2), 0.5)

I have 2 worksheets, 1 containing a list of 5000 products and 1 containing a list of 3 columns with classifications in them (about 300 classifications). for example worksheet 1 has 5 products
Coke
Volvic
Mars Bar
Cornflakes
Bags Maltesers
The 2nd worksheet has 3 columns with the following info
Column 1 Column 2 Column3
(Catagory) (sub Cat) (Sub Sub Cat)
Minerals Soft Drinks 2lts
Minerals Water 1lts
Sweets Choc Bars Std Bars
Sweets Bagged Lines Std Bags
Grocery Breakfast Cereals
I want to be able to add a classification to the products in worksheet 1. For example to be able to choose a dropdown that has a list of each classification
and after coke select from the "Catagory) drop down, then select the "Sub Cat" drop down and then select the "SubSub Cat" dropdown.
Product Catagory Sub Catagory SubSub Catagory
Coke Minerals Soft Drinks 2lts
Mars Sweets Choc Bars Std Bars
As I said I have to do this manually for about 5000 items so I need to be able to do this as fast as I can. Can you use the lookup fuctions or something like that?
