i am using Vlookup in all My files and the 4Th argument i put it 0 to give exazct result
My Question
Lookup Function give the Exact or approximate match and as i know Vlookup give the first result but Lookup give the last result
Excel offers many ways to use a key to lookup a value (VLookup, Index/Match, DGet, and the rest). What's the fastest way to perform a lookup of a small table of, say, 30 rows of key-value pairs? Theoretically, it would be most efficient to use a branch table (also known as a jump table). See the wikipedia article for branch tables: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branch_table. Does Excel/VBA have a way to create a branch table for such lookups?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI want to match two different values in the same row and then have it return another value in that row.
I have a tab with the following on:
Australia
SOME VLOOKUP FORMULA
SOME VLOOKUP FORMULA
I then have another tab which is similiar to this:
Australia Danny 23
Australia David 25
Canada Ben 35
Basically what I want is....where ive put some formula I want to lookup the title, in this case australia which is the cell above, search within the table then enter the name to the right of that. I have done this, however it only ever uses the first name on the list..... Example i always get danny on a role, i have managed then to get it to say david underneath but then if i copy the forumla down again it continues with danny, david etc.
Is there a way to perform a vlookup with two lookup values?
I'd like to look up the value of A1 and B1 in a table with A1 and B1 values
included to return cell C2 from the table. I've had limited
succcess using concatenate and then using vlookup on that cell but i'd like
to not have to do the concatenate step.
I have a table that has, amongst many columns, a year, month and a name column.
I want to do a formula that takes in 3 values (name, year, month) and returns a sum of values found in a variety of other columnswhere these 3 values are matched.
I would know how to do this in SQL but wonder if Excel can do this type of thing on one large data table?
Is there a way that I can do a vlookup in 1 file and specify more than 1 data range to lookup the data in?
In this case I have one file to put the vlookup in and a second file with more than 1 tab and I want to have it search each of those tabs and return the result. The format of these sepatate tabs are to each other and for that matter, identicle to the main file.
Formula is on Sheet1 and table array is on Sheet1
but the lookup value is on Sheet2 in Cell B15
Below does not work, either does anything I have tried.
=VLOOKUP(Sheet2!B15,B138:E161,4,FALSE)
I am using vlookup to find the ORIGIN data and DESTINATION data but the subheading is the same for both- see below(site name, city...). How do I find the second occurrence for the same heading?
Is there another command that would be better?

=VLOOKUP(C29,'Zero Days YTD'!B:Q,16,FALSE) is my current formula where C29 = Jack Bates.
As of this month Jack Bates is now in two places on worksheet Zero Days YTD. One is named "Jack Bates (from AMU 3/1/07)" and the other named "Jack Bates (to APU 3/1/07)"
I tried =VLOOKUP("Jack Bates (from AMU 3/1/07)"&"Jack Bates (to APU 3/1/07)",'Zero Days YTD'!B:Q,16,FALSE), but that didn't work.
accomplish VLOOKUP for multiple instances of a same Lookup value
First let me explain about my file:-
Table~1:-
1.B2:B19 I have list of items which required to build a product
2.D2:D19 I have list of shortages against each item
3.C2:C19 I have list of dates when each item shortage will get fulfilled
Table~2:-
1.C22:C31 I have picked the largest 10 different dates from Table1 by using LARGE formula.
Against each date which is update C22:C31, respective shortage qty has to get VLOOKUPED.
When there is a same lookup value, it has to keep pick next value (Shortage Qty) for same date.
I'm trying to get a result of all rows in a table that has the same lookup value.
For example:
David25
Brian40
Steve57
David68
David902
John11
Gerry3
I want to look for David and that the result will be all rows that starts with David:
David 25
David 68
David 902
I tried using vlookup but it always returns the first row.
I am writing the code for a VLOOKUP in VBA..I was using the .Formula = "=VLOOKUP(LookupValue, LookupRange , Column No, 0 )"
But, the problem is that the LookupRange is to be done from different sheets everyday as the name of this sheet is going to be like 16th May,17th May etc.
The common thing is that this sheet is the adjacent sheet next to the one in which we are trying to get the VLOOKUP work...so what solution can i use.
I need to make a VLOOKUP in a sheet which I do not own or control the layout of. Therefore I cannot add any columns in the source to assist me in my lookup.
My VLOOKUP needs to look at two values/columns since the value in one column is not a unique identifier. This is easy in the value I want to lookup but not so easy in the lookup range in the source sheet. Ideally I would like to write my formula something like this:
=VLOOKUP(A2&B2;CONCATENATE('[OtherWorkbook.xlsx]Sheet1'!$M$2:$M$9;'[OtherWorkbook.xlsx]Sheet1'!$N$2:$N$9);2;FALSE)
know if I can use a wildcard on R1C1 notation for my "lookup value" in my Vlookup, so that the Vlookup searches for a not exact match, but on the whole contents of the cell, not just the first several letters? I am using VBA, and the vlookup is in each cell of a for next loop, so I cannot use an actual cell reference which is where I've usually seen, and used wildcards. I've tried changing the Vlookup to have the lookup value be "Cells(n,2)" instead of "RC[-2]" to no avail. I need to make the vlookup evaluate all the words in cell "RC[-2]" prior to returning the value I specified, because otherwise it returns the wrong value even though I sorted my lookup table Column A A to Z.

I have a cell that I must remove the first 2 characters "RO" for each value in a column on a sheet called RAW DATA and put into a cell on a sheet called ROSS DATA. Some of the values in that cell have 3 digits after the RO and some have 5 digits. To do that I used
=REPLACE('RAW DATA'!A3,1,2,"")
Then I need to use this new resultant string as the lookup value in a VLOOKUP. The VLOOKUP will be looking at a named range called DAP on a sheet called DAP, in column 5 for an exact match and I need it to return that value to the cell.
I have tried using the indirect to no avail in different ways, and not sure that I fully understand the usage.
The formula I'm using is: =VLOOKUP($B724,Sheet1!$A$2:$S$17120,6,FALSE)
The B column in the lookup value has been both TRIMmed and VALUEd. The column that would contain the matches in Sheet1 has also been TRIMmed and VALUEd. I've confirmed that if I manually search for my value in Sheet1 then I find the data I'm looking for, but I always get #NA when this is run.
I have successfully done other VLOOKUPs between different columns in these worksheets, but can't get this one working. Excel version is 2003 SP2 if that makes a difference.
This formula works perfectly except when worksheet 2 has a code that is not on worksheet 1, then I get the error #N/A. I understand why I get the error, but not how to fix it. Obviously some sort of nesting - but what and how?
What I want on worksheet 2, column I - if there is a code on worksheet 2 but not on worksheet 1 - a return of "N/A"...

Above is the data I want to lookup on. I need to be able to do a lookup for travel visits and a seperate lookup for travel view_offers.
Is there someway to do this with a vlookup or maybe match index?
After dumping the Showcase Query result into an Excel file I am using a vlookup to insert data. My problem is that the vlookup won't find results unless I actually click on the cell that contains the lookup value to activate it. I have tried formatting the cells (both lookup and the return value) as general and text and nothing works (which makes my macro usless if it requires user intervention).
View 3 Replies View RelatedCan I use a vlookup combined with IF function to lookup up to a different file dependent on what the cell says.
For Example cell a1 could have the value Alan Smith, Tony Brown or John Doe dependent on what value is entered the lookup would "lookup" against the file named Alan Smith, Tony Brown or John Doe.
Having difficulty with a VLOOKUP that uses a text lookup field beginning with 0. For all the other numbers formatted as text I use this function:
[Code].....
For the one that begins with a 0 I have to use this function:
[Code] .....
This is a problem for me, because I need to be able to copy the top function to all of my sheets without having to edit the ones where the lookup field begins with 0. I could alter my VBA to specifically search for those cases and adjust, but that seems unneccesary.
More info - The beginning column of the Table Array (i.e. the lookup field I'm searching for) is a function of another cell; both cells are formatted as text. Here is the function:
[Code] ....
I have to put a single quote in front of the lookup field, so that "064" is not displayed as "64" even if the cell is formatted as text. I have another instance where I am looking up "'791" and it works fine with the first VLOOKUP above. Even if I remove the single quote this will work. However, once there is a leading zero the function no longer works and I must use the second VLOOKUP listed above.
I would like to do a vlookup where the lookup value isn't in the first column of a range/table. Would I use index/match? For example, I have fields for vendor, part # and location in that order. I'd like to pull up location with a formula based on part #.

I have given the artist an individual reference so I am doing a VLOOKUP to return description/price value etc but I can only get it to return the initial value and I have approx 10-15 works under each reference.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIn 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 have to write some VLOOKUP formulas to pull several items from a report, the problem is there could be multiple items for each lookup value as the example below:
Company Data ABC Monday ABC Friday ABC Thursday DEF Friday GHI Monday
I need to reference every piece of data for every company but using the VLOOKUP formula, I am obviously only able to get the first instance of the lookup value (company ABC)
How to I write the formula to lookup the other data? The practical appliation I am using this for has anywhere from 300 to 400 lookup values.
