Lookup & Return Offset Data By Cell Value
Jan 30, 2008
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 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.

I have a large array of cells that go from A1 to A2500. In VB, I need to take a given date that resides in a cell, say 1/6/2006 in C2, and look for a match of it within this large array. When the match is found, I need it to look in the column to the right (IE, from A5 to B5) and assign the value there to a Cell (C1).
Could someone provide an example of the code I was use in VB for this? I'm having a lot of trouble with it.

I am referencing a value in column A of Sheet 1. I am looking for that value in column B of Sheet 2 and would like to return the value of the cell that is 1 row below and 4 columns to the right (column F). I need to do this multiple times.
Can I use a VLOOKUP/OFFSET combo or Index/Match?
I am writing the formula in column H of sheet 1.

I have a data range set up in a step chart formation. This means there is a "Name" to the left and a time line of "values" to the right in quarterly increments (3 months at a time). Row 1 has the first month of each quarter and should be used to find the start date. Row 2 has the last month of each quarter and should be used to find the end date.
I need to find the first value from left to right and return the date directly above it in row 1.
Then....
I need to find the last value in the step chart and return the date directly above it in row 2
Example
Start Date..A...B...C....D...E...F
End Date....U...V...W...X...Y...Z
Value-1...........5...2....7........
Value-1
Start Date: B
End Date: X
Duration: = B - X
The reason i need this information is to create a Gantt Chart.

I am having some difficulties using a combination of IF and the OFFSET function to display a range of cell values from another column based on a simple condition. The values I need to display at the destination cells should be offset by 8 columns to the right and "X" rows down from the reference column. The value "X" is to be determined via the IF function to check for the row index number.
For example, if Index value "X" = 8, then display the value of B2 in cell I9. IF X = "9", display B2 in cell I10 etc.
I have attached a sample worksheet that provides some examples.

I have 2 columns of data (col A is time, col B is a value), in a range A4:B1000 (can be less, but the biggest the range will get is to B1000). Example:
A / B
4 10:37:55 / 91
5 10:37:56 / 92
6 10:37:57 / 93
7 10:37:58 / 100
8 10:37:59 / 105
9 10:38:00 / 110
10 10:38:01 / 111
11 10:38:02 / 115
12 10:38:03 / 120
Im looking for a way in VBA to look for a time entered in cell C1 (example 10:38:00), find that in column A, then return the average of values in column B that are offset 271 - 300 rows. This is entered in D1. So in my example, 10:38:00 is in cell A9, return the average of B280:B310.

I'm trying to use an offset from a Named Range as my source cell in a vlookup but get a -1004 Object not defined error. When Debugged the Range.Formula appears to be blank when queried. Using Record a Macro the Reference to a named range worked fine but I could not test for an offset or the use of the range reference. What can I do to use to make this work
Range.Formula="=vlookup(Range(""SomeName"").Offset(1,0),DataRange,2,False)"

On Sheet2 I have a table where I want M2 to do the following:
1.) Look at cell A2 where the name "John" is and B2 where the name "smith" is.
2.) Look at sheet1 and look in B2 and C2 for "John" and "smith"
3.) Once it matches the name, place the contents of sheet1, cell I2 into sheet2, cell M2.
So in short, match the name on sheet2 to the name on sheet1 and return the number in I2 to M2 on sheet2.
Maybe combining the persons name in to one column would make it easier?

I would like to be able to find all cells in row 2 that are "greater than 0". Then I would like to return the coresponding job number in row 4. I need to create a list of each job with the number of hous spent on that job next to it. I may have 30 different jobs but only 5 jobs that have hours for the specific week.
How I attemted to solve this is to create a table that listed all the hours from the largest number in row 2 to the smallest. Then I found the job number corresponding to that number of hours. The problem with this meathod is that if two jobs have the same amount of hours then the first job number is returned for both values that are the same. See attached example.

Trying to grasp the concept of using these 3 functions to search for and return values from a data sheet.
The attached spread sheet has performance data for a group of employees.
What I need to do is find a particular employee then return a value for one of the category's.
For instance, I need to find "10TE03 ANGIE HOLLIS" Parts Usage on color or cell C10 in the attached sample.
Sometimes new category's are added to column A adding to the number of rows so a simple offset is not reliable.
Once I get that working, I then need to use a named range to total and average different data points for groups of employees by teams.
Maybe Offset-Index-Match is not even the way to go here?

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?

Encryption algorythim.xlsx
Here is my scenario I have all this data i want to search in. In the rows there are repeating values and in the columns they do not repeat.
As seen in the attached i am able to give a column and row by title and then get the intersecting cell data from that. (Encryption lookup)
What i want to do is give the column tittle and row value and get back the row title. (Decryption Lookup)
This shouldn't be too hard seeing that the data in the columns has no repeats.

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 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 understand how to set up a normal VLOOKUP, but I am not sure how to do the following: I am trying to set up a sheet that will find the last cell of a row containing "yes" and display the value of the cell at the top of that particular "yes" column. Maybe VLOOKUP is not the answer? I have attached an example of what i am trying to do.

I am looking for a way to construct a dynamic message box such that when a user right clicks on a cell, the macro will check the contents (a numeric code) of that cell against an existing table on another worksheet. This table would contain the codes and a text message specific to each code; the macro would insert the text message aligned with that code into a message box on the original worksheet.

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:

I am wanting to use a vlookup or perhaps an array(?) to bring through multiple cell values based on being the maximum value. So say there are multiple employees (all with unique ids) under one manager (also with unique ID), I want to find the employee with the highest value in a particular column and return that employees details, such as name, employee number and the value itself, which are all in the same row. I have attached a basic example of the data involved.

My task is that I have several documents exported in excel. The requirements in them were mapped to another document. The IDs were populated in a certain column but are now no longer needed. I have to convert those old Ids to the current ones. In my example I have populated Sheet one with the lookup table. In column A are the old IDs. In Column B are the new ones they map to. The old ones can map to several which is why there are more than one ID in some of the cells. In column D of Sheet 2 I have populated it with the old Ids. In Column A I'd like to have the lookup return the appropriate maps to the new Ids. For example for the first map in cell A2 it should return:
abc_18
abc_43
abc_6
abc_4
all in one cell.
Vlookup can return the first hit (abc_18 and abc_43 for cell D2), but ignores the other two IDs in cell D2. I was able to work around this combining the find, mid, and vlookup to return all values. The problem with that is that the formula gets monstrously big after just having it return 4. In the actual files it can be up to 30 IDs which would make that formula literally pages long since. I have pretty much no experience with macros, but it seems like the only solution since I have to send this off to various people so they can use it.
