Lookup Beginning Of Word And Returns The Value Of A Cell I Choose
Mar 3, 2009
I'm trying to create a lookup formula where it matches the beginning of words and returns the value of a cell I choose. This is my layout. In Workbook1 in column E I have a list of medicine names which i'm putting in from personal medical lists. These names are not "complete", i.e. they aren't the exact names of the medicines. In workbook 2, I have a sheet with the exact names and corresponding codes of the medicines. I want to return the code of the medicine. The beginning of the names of the medicines are the same, so I want to lookup the the X first letters of the medicines I write in manually (Workbook1 column E) and find it in Workbook 2 column B and return value of Workbook2 column A for that medicine (on the same row).
I want to be able to lookup if anywhere in a cell contains a word from a list of words, and then provides an output.
Column G: VAT payment HMRC payment Pay VAT
I have a table on the side that shows: Column Y Column Z VATHMRC HMRC HMRC
ie. If anything in column G matches one of the words in Column Y, then output the Column Z. I have use a Vlookup that works for the first two, as VAT is the first thing, but dont know how to make it work if the key word is in the middle of the cell.
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 have = LOOKUP(REPT("z",255),CHOOSE({1,2},"",LOOKUP(C3,{1,2,3},{2,1,0}) )) in cell D3. C3=1 so I expected a result of D3=2. Instead I am getting a blank cell.
As of right now these are the steps i do to sort...i click custom sort choose My data has headers and then i select from the drop down list the word FRNAME.
is there any way i can setup a macro to do this for me? i tried recording the macro but it just is recording me choosing the column FRNAME is in. This does not work for me since FRNAME end up being in different columns all the time but will always be in row 1.
i am trying to lookup up when ppart matches spart and subtract total shipped from total produced. Here is where I am getting stuck .... because spart has multiple returns LOOKUP(2,1/((I2=C:C)),J2)
I need to lookup a Order Number and return all associated Item Numbers. My spreadsheet has about 10,000 lines and these Order Numbers could have as little as 1 or as many as 15 Item Numbers associated. I would like to have a drop down on each Order Number that shows the Item Numbers.
I have a very basic spreadsheet to calculate golfer handicaps based upon a course index. For some reason, my "LOOKUP" formula is not retrieving the data from the cell (column) next to the value I am searching...?
Im trying to do a lookup but when I drag the formula down it returns the wrong values and also returns #N/A or #REF (which I think means it's refering to a wrong range and cant find the data???). How can I do a look up function by dragging the formula down a long column of data eg. 65,000 rows in excel, that returns the correct text. I have attached a simple example- see attached.
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"...
I'm trying to do the next level of a v-lookup. I have a group of data with a text "flag" on certain rows. On my summary worksheet, I'm trying to do a lookup or a nested index function retrun all of the values with the text flag next to it.
I've been playing around with nested formulas and this is where I'm stuck. Here's what I came up with:
I'm trying to generate a message box when a lookup cell returns the #N/A error value.
The lookup formula (=VLOOKUP(O8,Prod_Lookup,6,FALSE)) is in a "helper column" and returns a value of 0 if there is no entry in the lookup source sheet, but returns a value of #N/A if a non-matching date is entered in the active worksheet.
I have the following, but need some help in getting it work correctly. At present, it doesn't trigger the message box to pop up.
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim Prod_Val As Range Dim note1 As String
Set Prod_Val = Worksheets("C_Data").Range("P8:P7000")
note1 = "Brazer PPM cannot be calculated because the Daily Production Count" & vbLf & _ "has not been entered for this date." & vbLf & vbLf & _ "The Daily Production Count must be entered prior to entering the daily leak data." & vbLf & vbLf & _ "Upon clicking the OK button you will taken to the Production Count sheet to enter the data."
I'm getting cross-eyed from trying to find the source of the error and not having any success. I've successfully used this approach many times, but for some reason I'm getting an error I can't pin down.
The problem: INDEX-MATCH lookup formula returns # NAME error. Formula: =INDEX(Data,MATCH(H8,Date,0),MATCH($I$7,Line,0),MATCH("FPY",Hdngs,0)). I've done my best to verify the named ranges and cell references are correct and have stepped through the help file on the "potential source of the error", including going to Tools >Options and making sure "Accept Labels in Formulas" is checked, as well as having read a number of other posts.
A1:C1 contain the table headers A2:C5 contain the data A6 contains the value I want to search for I use this formula to return the column header of A6 A6=INDEX(A1:C1,SUMPRODUCT((A2:C5=A6)*COLUMN(A2:C5))) Now, if there are duplicate values in A2:C5, this will return more than one column header What I need is a vba code to view a msgbox with all column headers returned in this case
I setup this function to pull my staff's schedule an auto generate the forms i need however the lookup function works properly sometimes and improperly others i checked the syntax and it is correct how ever the wrong data is continually returned. I have attached the file if anyone can help. the VISUAL PLAN tab is the one contaning the formula and it pulls data from PLAN, CURENT SCHEDULE, AND CATAGORY SUMMARY however the only formulas hat i have a problem with are the ones referencing CURENT SCHEDULE.
I have a file created in Excel 2003 that uses a vlookup to reference another file, also created in Excel 2003. The function returns VALUE when the referenced file is closed. I get the VALUE error whether or not I update links upon opening the file. If I open the source file, the function calculates properly.
Here is the formula when the referenced file is open:
The full & correct path appears in the formula when the referenced file is closed.
Columns C, D & E in the referenced range contain text, column F contains a Sum. This file is linked to another file, also using lookups. The linked area in this file works without problem, but it is a precedent to the calculation in column F.
Both these files reside on a network in subdirectories of the same logical drive. I am using a laptop that briefly had Excel 2007 installed on it, but was wiped clean before it was issued to me.
I need to make the active cell go to the beginning of the row (Column A). I tried setting up a variable to be the row.value, but that didn't work (the way I wrote it, which doesn't surprise me).
In any cell of a worksheet, the user can input a number followed by either a plus or minus sign. After the - or + key is pressed, the cell has to move the plus or minus to the front of the number, then move down one cell. So input in cell A2 would be 125+, that needs converted to +125 and then moved down to cell A3.
I have a column of Supplier IDs. Maximum number of characters is 9. If the supplier ID is not 9 characters long, it should have 0's placed in the front so that there are 9 characters. For example, Supplier ID is 487695. It should look like 000487695. I can get Excel to format the cells correctly by using the custom format. However, when I import into Access, it trims the 0's away even though the field is identified as text because the custom format does not actually change the "value" of the cell. It merely formats the cells.
How can I get this column to correctly import into Access from Excel?
Say I have Source Workbook X 1, and Destination Workbooks X 4. The Source workbook contains a number of lookup values. I want the lookup values to be maintained in the single Source workbook, and I want this workbook to remain closed when the end users are using their Destination workbooks. It is critical that certain cells in the Destination workbooks have validated data in order for formulas and summarizations to be correct.
I'm happy if the Destination workbooks contain a lookup worksheet (perhaps hidden). In short, I'd like the contents from the Source workbook, Lookups worksheet, to just be replicated "as is" into the Destination workbooks, Lookups worksheet. I then want to do my data validation from that worksheet, which of course is open (data validation appears to only work with open workbooks).
I've investigated the techniques in this link: [URL]
Questions:
1) Are the techniques in that link about the best approach? i.e. an external link plus array formulas?
2) A blank cell in the source workbook (text column but formatted as General) is resulting in a zero in the external link. How can I make the external link exactly match the text as entered in the source workbook?
I am having trouble with my macro. I have attached excel sheet for reference.
Basically, I want a Macro that Looks up columns B & C of current sheet and matches it with table in the charges tab, and then returns hourly pay in column D.
I have created the macro but it's giving me Run time 1004 error.
Also, my formula is incorrect. Maybe that's why my macro isn't working?
I have a workbook with a bunch of sheets and I am interested in the sheets that begin with the letter "P". Each of these sheets is named "P###" with #s ranging from 0-9 and not consecutively.
On each of these sheets, the various formulas link to the cell O37. I would like to replace the value in cell O37 with the name of the sheet "P###" for all sheets that begin with P.
I am trying to find a solution to a vlookup issue. I have attached to this post a sample excel file which will make it easier to understand. I have data in one table (Table 1) where the records consist of addresses with street field, city and zip. These records have to be flagged based on the street address (number and street name provided the city or zip is the same) with a flag called "Type"(as an example Type 1 or type 2, etc).
Than I have another table (Table 2 or the lookup table) that has unique adrresses with the "Type" field that needs to be brought over to Table 1. The issue that I run into is that addresses in Table 1 have variations such as 25 Main Street can be as 25 Main St., or 25 Main St, or 25 Main st., Apt 2, which all should be recognized as 25 Main Street. All we care is to flag 25 Main Street with it's appropriate flag from Table 2.
Data in Table 1 can be in the 100k or more records in some cases so any manual intervention would be very time consuming and not efficient. Now I've tried doing lookup only on the 3 or 4 left characters of this field but than you get thrown a curveball when the address is for example 25 Maitland Avenue, which will falsly flag them as 25 Main Street. Plus house numbers can be 25 Main, or 255 main 2554 Main or 2 Main, so it is not functional to use the left function nested within vlookup. This issue seems to be more of a logical validation, which I don't know how to approach. The best way to think about this is when you go print a priority label on the USPS website and they correctly validate your address eventhough you might have mistyped your address.
Is it possible to export Excel cell contents to Word fields in a protected Word document? For example...
What code would be needed to tell Excel to open up, copy and export the contents of A2 in the active sheet of a workbook to "Field 2" in a Word document named "Report 01" and then put the contents of B2 to "Field 2" etc?
Do both applications have to be opened up at the same time or is Excel able to open up Word on its own? Will the macro be able to....
1. Automatically open up the correct Word document?
2. Look ONLY in a certain folder for the "Report 01" Word document?
or
Bring up a "selection" box that allows you to select the document you wish Excel to export it's data to?
3. Close and save the Word Document without any user intervention?
I need to count how many times the word Test is in the range B4:H9 with
Range N2 = Test the formula below works if Test is only in the cell once.
=COUNTIF($B$4:$H$9,"*" & N2 & "*")
But I have data in cells like below, this is all in one cell, so how would I have it count all the times test is in the range when some cells have test 2 or more times in a single cell?
The choose function only works with separate values, but not with a range. I'm looking for a formula that returns the value in a range based on a number.
e.g. CHOOSE(5, A1:A10) should return the value of A5.
I can program it as a function, but I expect there is a standard formula for this.
