I am trying to use a lookup formula to search for a word in a column, and return the value of the column directly to its left. I know that this cannot be done using the vlookup function, and I am not able to move the columns around. Is there another possibility? In plain English then, I would like cell E2 to look up the value of D2 in column B2:B4 and return the relevant value in column A2:A4.

I have a 14 000-item list of product codes that are generated from different attributes. What I am trying to do, is to create a cover sheet where the user can select attributes from dropdown lists and get the first matching product code. I have tried using index/match, but I am struggling with wildcard lookup.
Example of generated product code:Cell A1:
ABX**J
Here, AB is the product group, X is the pressure class, ** is material (which is, for the example, unknown), and J is the end connection. What I now want to do, is to look in the long list of codes and find the first match:
Cells A2:A5:AAY02J
ABY03F
ABX01J
In the attached sheet I am trying to use the formula below but am getting a #NA error. I have narrowed the problem down to the use of the SEARCH and LEFT functions that I am using to determine the lookup value of the VLOOKUP formula.
what I am doing wrong? If I substitute the SEARCH and LEFT function with the number "14" it works just fine. You can find examples of both in cells B29 and C29 on the rename tab.
I am building somewhat of a rudimentary search engine that looks for a name, address or unique identifier, using an Index Match formula that searches with a wild card:
=INDEX(Name,MATCH("*"&F3&"*",Name,0))
"Name": is the defined name for column C on a separate sheet.
F3: is "search field"
The current formula (above), only returns the first match. The source data is only 927 lines so not overly large. I would like to have an additional page that will show the potential results from the wildcard search via a formula. Therefore needing results; 2, 3, 4, 5 etc. from the Index Match. I have searched high and low for solutions but I have found none in regards to retrieving multiple results from a wildcard search, only on a specific term.
=COUNTIF(Sheet1!$A$1:Sheet1!$A$32515, IndexSheet!B2)
+COUNTIF(Sheet2!$A$1:Sheet2!$A$32515, IndexSheet!B2)
+COUNTIF(Sheet3!$A$1:Sheet3!$A$32515, IndexSheet!B2)....
+ COUNTIF(Sheet20!$A$1:Sheet20!$A$32515, IndexSheet!B2)
Above formula check for the value in IndexSheet!B2 and searches it across all 20 sheets and returns total sum
Is there any shorter version of this?
here is an example....
(this is on a sheet called Summary)
----A--------B --------C------- D
1Names----At Bats----Hits----Batting Average
2Tom-------38--------31------.816
3Derek------19--------14------.737
4Joey-------40--------28------.700
5Chris-------40--------27------.675
6Chuck------37--------24------.649
Using the LARGE function, Excel has created a list based on batting averages(on a separate sheet called Line-up). It looks like this.....
---A----------B
1Names----Averages
2 -----------.737
3 -----------.700
4 -----------.675
5 -----------.816
6 -----------.649
The problem I am having is figuring a way for Excel to also bring the corresponding names (after using the LARGE function to create the line up list).
Worksheet 1
Food
Expenses
KFC
500
Pizza Hut
100
[Code] ......
In worksheet 2, I would like to lookup the type of food that have expenses at 500.
So the output column should look like table below.
Food
KFC
Wendy
Sushi King
Papa John
I am trying to copy "E_CODE" column values corresponding to "Trimmed E_N" from sheet1 to sheet2 "check" column.
to do this, i am using the LOOKUP function to match the text in "sheet2 - CONC" with "sheet1- Trimmed E_N", and if it matches, return the corresponding values from "sheet1 - E_CODE".
not all strings in "sheet2-CONC" exist in "sheet1-Trimmed E_N", so i should be getting "sheet1 - E_CODE" values only for those that exist.
I tried using VLOOKUP but it kept giving me N/A, and i couldn't figure out why even after searching the forums. LOOKUP is giving me values that are greater/lesser than because of its inherent properties and now i am not sure what to do.
Here is my spreadsheet
A B C D 1 Matt 5 4 75 2 Joe 25 23 66 3 Ron 31 33 82 4 Jim 22 45 91 5 Steve 99 100 11
I used the large function to find the top 5 greatest numbers. I have them ranked in another area below the first set of numbers.
100
99
91
82
75
I need to find some sort of formula to return the name for the appropriate number. For example, I need the cell immediately to the right of 100 to return Steve; 99 to say Steve; 91 to say Jim. The INDEX/MATCH formulas used for left lookups works only for a column. I would have to set the index/match formula individually for each column to the right of the top 5 numbers, and that defeats the purpose. I might as well just find the numbers and connect the names all by hand.
I have a data validation box and wish another cell to lookup the text in the validation box from a list a return a number next to it.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have two worksheets. The first one contains 500 rows:
Column A - Company Name
Column J - Formula that calculates a 'company score' based on other data in columns B-H
Column K - Number of directors
The second worksheet contains over 3000 rows:
Column A - Name
Column B - Company
Column C - Designation
I want to caculate a score for each person (from worksheet 2) that does the following:
Personal Score = ('Company Score' / No. of directors) * Designation Weighting
Where Designation Weighting (numerical value) is determined by Designation (text). There are 10 different and mutually exclusive types of text in the Designation column.
My problem is compounded by the fact that each person (in worksheet 2) can be directors on several companies. The Personal Score that I want to calculate needs to recognise which different companies they are directors of and sum the scores derived from each company.

In the attached spreadsheet you will see the table of data in cells e6:L16. In cell N6 i am doing a hlookup to find the date in the table of data that is closest to the date in cell A4. The formula in cell M6 is where i am having the problem and i was trying to pull in data that is 4 columns to the left of where the hlookup date is in cell N6. The problem i am having is when i input any date higher than 06/30/07 the Index formula does not display the correct date. What is confusing me is that the Hlookup formula in cell N6 still works with higher dates but the index formula does not.

I have looked at previous v lookup questions however was unable to do a comparison to the queries which I have. Hope someone is able to help. Sending spreadsheet to hopefully clarify
Sheet 1 = downloaded orders
Sheet 2 = present Customer database
Q1 - sheet 2 column E - can I make the address show without the return stroke (square symbol)?
Q2 - how do I return in sheet 1 column b and c the information held on sheet 2 column b and c. I have tried using the post code as the look up but it is only returning around a 30% find, can you use post code and rest of the address (post codes could be partially different as off 2 independant databases) to find a true match, or at least increase the 30% find considerably.
I have a 2010 excel sheet containing 14 columns and 45082 rows in total. I am quite illiterate when it comes to writing macros but I know that what I need can be achieved with a set of codes.

Current data structure looks like

Variable 2

I looked for a long time through the past entries and couldn't find an answer for this specific situation. I have a spreadsheet with multiple occurances of names in column A
A
green
green
green
blue
blue
white
white
white
and in column D I need a total of how many occurances of that name there are. that total needs to be listed in that row for that name specifically. There are many names on there currently and many will be added via copy/paste from another spreadsheet so i need one formula to paste into each row to cover ALL recurring names. Basically i need to enter in column D "=COUNTIF(A:A,"a term that would total the reoccurance of each name from the A column the corresponding D cell")
A D
green 3
green 3
green 3
blue 2
blue 2
white 3

The goal is to be able to copy/paste new entries into the spreadsheet, sort them by name, and have them automatically update the totals in each row even if they are new names. i guess it would be a "number of occurance of each term" code to cover all terms.
I'm currently trying to put together a search function of sort onto an excel document to look for entries of "Y" based on the choices in a drop down list to populate a list of names that have a "Y" next to them.

I am looking to write a search function that searches through a whole document. The only examples I can find are of a could different search functions but they all are searching an specified individual column and even then I didn't really understand them.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI could really use some excel function. Within my office, we work with several hundred files. Each employee is assigned files based on the last two digits of the file number. What I need is a way to identify what file is assigned to which employee based on the term digits of the file.
So for example, I have the following list of files:
1002856101
22781721
1044863815
1008799064
1044779765

8364709
0014094759
0019921519
8172717
I'm able to do a formula to get the term digits (meaning the last two numbers), but i'd like to have another column that can put names based on the term digit column. For example, Tom might work 00-04, Sally works 05-09, Greg works 10-15, Lucy works 16-21.. etc
I came across the below IF formula that is exactly what i need, except it only works for two associates and not the multiple that i need.. but it looks to be a good starting point nonetheless.
------------------------------
=IF(C2<50,"Sheryl","Lisa"). You should enclose Sheryl and Lisa with quotation marks as these are string values.
You can also use (if A2 is where the Loan # is):
=IF(Right(A2,2)*1<50,"Sheryl","Lisa")
The formula will acquire the last 2 digits of the loan and check it if it's for Sheryl's or Lisa's.

I'm using excel 2007 for analyzing my students grades. I ran two exams and look for a way to compute a final grade score, which should be equal to the grade of the first exam for those students who took just the first exam and should be equal to the second score for those students who took the second exam. (Clarification: for those students who took both terms, their final grade should be equal to their score in the second term).
