Im trying to return the number value of how many contracts have been signed in a particular month. So in my example I want to look pick out say "IM" and check to see how many of those types have been signed in say "Jan-09" and return that as a number. Have tried various mixes of count, sum, countif and sumif but dont seem to be getting anywhere.
I have a table of data (say Column1 to Column 5) with multiple rows.
Column 1 to 4 will have the lookup values in multiple rows and Column 5 data should be picked up using vlookup or other lookup function.
I managed to somehow bring all these lookup values in (Column 1 to 4) in a single column in another sheet. I am now trying to use some lookup or other functions to match this single column and pick column 5 data in original sheet. Result i am expecting is lookup value in first column and next to it column 5 value.
It is basically a lookup wherein lookup value is spread over multiple rows and columns and result column is fixed. I tried using vlookup, but lookup value column and column number had to change every time when i moved from column1 to 4.
I have been using the wrong formula to count total entries in columns and only just found this error. The MAX formula in cell B4 is: =MAX($B$12:$B$36). If the all the rows are full within range F12:F36, then the MAX formula is fine to count the total within range B12:B36 (25) so I thought. But sometimes there are omissions between F12:F36. If there are 2 blank cells anywhere within F12:F36 for example, then B4 needs to show 23 respectively. In the sample WkBk B4 needs to show 8
i'd like when i lookup abt specific in range (4 Columns is my lookup range) get the results in one column with skipping blanks Cells "Note" Blanks cells it contains fromulas with "" so it blanks but have formulas ....
I am creating a spreadsheet to keep track of money and grouping them into categories. I have a column to group a purchase into a category (column E) and the amount spent in column F. I want column T to add up all of the purchase that were made according to the category in Column E.
I am trying to do a (what I thought was a) simple lookup involving 2 columns. Pls see attached example. I am trying to find the "?" values, by matching column A&B of the input to the Data columns and returning the $$$ column.
I thought this wouldve been a piece of cake but its got me stumped!
I need to add the total of staffs hours worked for one day, but the problem is that I don't recieve the data as hours but as symbols(letters of the alphabet) representing time worked. Eg "A" is 3.5 hours, "B" is 4hours "C" is 4.5 hours ect, ect.
In the example the top table is a one month time sheet for each staff and there working shifts. The bottom table is the part that I need a formula for. I need a total for each symbol for each day so I can total the hours at the bottom where it says total hours. I have given an example on how the bottom table should look when the formula is completed.
=SUMIF('[Weekly Sheets.xlsx]W1'!$A$8:$A$10000,$C$1,'[Weekly Sheets.xlsx]W1'!$K$8:$K$10000). It works fine but I need it to also lookup cell B8 if B8 has text named "ABS" dont count whats in cell K8
Having trouble getting a formula to work that will lookup a site number and count the number of times the site has a particular type of visit. For instance:
Site # Visit 1001 Active 1001 Active 1001 Discont. 1001 Screen Fail 1001 Active 1002 Discont. 1002 Active 1002 Screen Fail 1002 Active
I want a formula that will return the number of active instances for each site, like:
I have a problem getting an adequate formula for the following.
"Sheet 1" Column A.............Column B Employee Code.....Distinct Count ZZADW...............Formula Result ZZALM................Formula Result ZZALS................Formula Result ZZANG................Formula Result
"Sheet 2" Column A............Column B Employee Code.....Account Number ZZADW...............1SSS ZZADW...............1STT ZZALM................5GHL''''''''
I'm trying to come up with a lookup formula that would look at Column A and Column B then return the matching result from column C. If I entered A in a cell it would return 11, but if I entered 1 it would still give me 11. how to do a lookup with two columns, but didn't get far.
I have read through other similar topics and tried using the index and match function to lookup but been unable to make the formula work.
I am trying to use the lookup function to pull data from a table using criteria in two columns and one row. I have attached a spreadsheet for example.
I want to use criteria of Day (eg . 1), Total height (cm), and jar # (eg. 1). I inherited this table from a previous coworker and don't have time to organize the data better.
In the spreadsheet I want to return the value of 8.8 (highlighted in yellow). The criteria I want to use to lookup the value are highlighted in red.
I have been already fighting for about a week with this problem. I attached the Excel-file. I have three input data and as output I want to get also three different data. For Vendor I use the VLOOKUP function. For agreement# I have used (not in this file) CONCATENATE by adding an extra column to the data table and then use VLOOKUP.
The actual problem is to find the price because it is based on the three input data. I can't seem to find a function for it. I've tried INDEX, MATCH, IF, nested them for as far as my knowledge reaches. The problem lies for as far as I know in the del.date cell. For example, input date is: Client#:912345, Product:E569831, del.date: 16.7. (July 16th). This input date should return cell G12.
I tried to write a function so that it would search for a word from Column C in Column B, and then when it found it, give me a a combined result of Column A and B. For instance. I lookup up C1 (Goja Apple) in the range of all of column B; the function finds it in B3 (Goja Apple); then it returns the combined result A3 and B3 (Ca23 Goja Apple). I tried the =lookup, but I think the first column you select must be in ascending order, and that wont work for me.
My daily receiving list has Item# received that day e.g. ReceiptList.xls Item# 123 456 I need to compare this to a Data Base list that has 10000 item# , seller, and status (this data base can have repeated same item# but varied seller and therefore different status e.g. Ing.xls (Data Base file) Item# Seller Status 123 ABC Approved 123 GMC Not Approved 456 ABC Pending 456 XYZ Not Approved 456 QRS Approved etc. +10000 items Now I need to compare the daily receipts to the data base file and pull all the sellers for those particular items and their status which like I said could be on many rows, one row, or not listed at all to the ReceiptList.xls(which I can then make sure that the received items are from an Approved source etc.)
I am trying to create a formula that will look in 3 columns containing 300 rows, and give an answer if the criteria in all 3 columns is met on a single row. example: A B C 1 Blue Bag 60 2 Red Bag 100 3 Blue Bag 60
I want to check ALL the rows in the 3 columns that satisfy the criteria "Blue" and "Bag" and "60" and count how many times this occurs. I have tried COUNTIF but with no success, unless I am doing it wrong.
how does the formula change when i want a new column to "bring in" ( lookup?) a corresponding value from the second sheet when it sees that the names match?
For instance: sheet1 FIRST LAST HEIGHT1 John Smith 5'9
sheet2 FIRST LAST HEIGHT2 John Smith 5'11
So, the conditional format would be a 4th column in the first sheet-- still comparing the first & last names-- but when they match it enters "HEIGHT2" into this 4th column.
This is still a conditional format, right? sorry if it doesn't belong here
i did find a thread concerning my question but the topic was closed & the OPs best answer had been edited & removed for some reason...
i'm comparing annual pro sports stats for a project & want to do a vlookup contingent on pairs of columns matching between two sheets. ie if a first AND last name in one sheet match a first and last name in a second sheet then fill in x statistic. i dont know VB or anything, but i assume this can be done w/ a pretty simple formula
I am working on a workbook, it's not my workbook so I can't change how it's laid out.
I am trying to figure out a way that excel will check 2 different columns for a code that is manually entered, then enter the codes description in another cell.
It's basically a deposit and expense ledger.
One column has expense codes and names, the other deposit codes and names.
I want to be able to enter the code letter into a cell in the ledger and excel will enter the code description into another cell.
I have undertaken a project and have hit a brick wall.
I'll try and translate my request in the easiest way I can.
I have a piece of software that stores what software is installed on a machine when it connects to my domain.
I therefore have a list of software that is installed on machines that connect to my domain. Each machine that connects to the domain has a unique identifier code.
At present I have about 500 different pieces of software on the various machines.
The unique identifier for the software installed on each machine is a combination of the application (column B), the program (column C) and the version (column D)
I wanted to give each seperate piece of software a unique ID number.
I was wanting to run a formula similar to the pseudocode below: If $b$1="adobe" and $c$1="8.0.0.1" and $d$1="adobe reader", then "1", elseif $b$1="adobe" and $c$1="7.0.0.1 and $d$1="adobe pro" then "2", else "no software ID"
I am thinking that if I can get every piece of software that is installed on the machines to have a software ID then I can create a software ID allowed list then I can create a formula to identify what laptops have software on the "allowed" and "banned" lists.
The problem at present is getting the sotfware to lookup what software ID they have as they need to check 3 columns with a lookup list.
I'm working on budgets (salaries). I have one main spreadsheet with all employee names listed - other spreadsheets are for each department. I need to bring the total salary from the department spreadsheets and would like to do this by looking up (or matching?) the names in the column from the main sheet to the department sheets and then putting the salary from the department spreadsheet to the main spreadsheet. In addition, I have several that have their salary split between two or more departments. On my department spreadsheet I have a column labeled % of salary for this department. On the main spreadsheet, I want to figure out a formula that will sum the percentages for a certain person (so I make sure I don't go over 100%).
For example - Joe Smith's name is on the main employee spreadsheet. He is also listed on 3 other department spreadsheets, with % of salary listed as 30% for department 1, 30% for department 2, and 40% for department 3. On the main spreadsheet I need to add up Joe's percentages from the department spreadsheets.
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:
and I want to look up an approximate value in Col2, say 310, and return it's next-highest friend from Col3, in this case "g". This is easy enough with INDEX and MATCH. But I want to take it one step further and only use those values which are approved by Col1 - so in this case I want 310 to ACTUALLY return "e"
I found some good information here which gets me close. The following works very well. It uses a boolean & operator to match two values at once, but it only works for exact matches. This example goes down the list and finds the first "sydney" which has an "x" and gives the result "h".
When I use this approach on data like in my first example it falls over, my guess is because the boolean & falls down before the MATCH function has a chance to accept an approximate match.
On my "Order" sheet, I enter an account no. that looks up the company name, address, etc on my "Accounts" sheet. Below the address info on the "Accounts" sheet is a list of the salespersons with their email address.
After entering the account no., I want to enter the salespersons name and automatically look up their email address. I can make the lookup function work if I tell the formula which column the salesperson is located in, but am lost how to write the formula to locate the salesperson based upon the column no. that contains their company info.
F1 - contains the account no. entered on the order sheet.
Accounts!A1:Z100 - range containing columns of account info.
ORDER!G9 - This is the row number value I obtained by using a match function to lookup the Salespersons name entered in cell F8, then I add 1 to render the value of the row that contains the email address located directly below the salespersons name.
=(MATCH(F8,ACCOUNTS!B1:B100,FALSE)+1)
Herein lies my issue, the salesperson name will not always be in Column B
I can write another Match to obtain the column no, but then I am using another cell to hold a calculated value for my lookup statement.

I am trying to look in B1:B100 for the Cell that matches A1 and C1:C100 for the cell that matches A2 then return the value from D1:D100 that meets the 2 criteria.
I want to search (sheet2 column A and B )for a match of (cell A2 and B1 of sheet2) and return value into sheet2 cell B2 Completed and if not found Outstanding
