in the lookup function listed below, it only produces a result for the first exact macth. well, what if the data i am searching on could result in multiple results?
i would like advise on how to modify this formula to bring back the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc instance of a match in the lookup array.
the original formula , i found on this site, allows you to combine multiple cells to create a unique reference, and then search in another table containing columns of those combined cells, and results in the intersection of a row and column and that is the data you want returned ....
kind of like a hlookup, but you can use one or more cells to create the unique lookup, and bring back whatever column you want (where as a hlookup is limited to searching the left most column and bring back a column to the left)
here is the formula:
{=INDEX(data to retrieve,MATCH(cell1&cell2,table to find cell1 in&table to find cell2 in,0))}
"data to retrieve" is an array of one column containing the data you want to retrieve
"cell1&cell2" is a combination of cells to make the unique lookup (this could just be one cell if you wanted)
"table to find cell1 in&table to find cell2 in" is a table array to look in to find the look up value
I would like to create a formula in a summary sheet ("sheet 2 section" in attached)that looks up and sum cells based on multiple criteria in row and columns in "sheet 1 section". I thought I sumifs would work, but I kept getting #value errors. I'm not a power user in excel. I attached the spreadsheet - it is only an example of what I want to do as the real data is confidential and large. The result I should I get is in section 2. Lookup account 12.251 for tim in the month of February - result is 14.
I have table product that include (wide 1,wide 2,thick 1,thick 2,long 1,long 2,Price) And I have table transaction than have wide, thick, long and price)
I want that price in table transaction fill automaticly from table product where ( wide between wide 1 and wide 2 ) and ( thick between thick 1 and thick 2 ) and ( long between long 1 and long 2 )
I've forgotten all the formulas that I learned during college. And that was for Excel 2003; now I'm using Excel 2007. So, hopefully you experts can help me out.
So here's the problem. I need to set up an invoice in Excel but I don't know what formula to use. I'll first describe my invoice and then I'll tell you the problem.
It's a basic invoice where you have customer's info and product's details and prices. So, when I choose a customer's name from a list in a cell, the address and phone of that customer will automatically appear. I don't have a problem at all with this part. And then there's the product details section where you enter a product type, size, color, price per unit, and total price. The price per unit also depends on the customer entered. Each customer has different pricing and I used a discount system for each customer. We basically have a universal price list for our products, but we have different discount percentage for each customer.
I have two documents, and I need to search data in document 1 based on information given in document 2. On document 1 I have ID number and date range and on document 2 I have ID number and date. Date needs to be in the date range, and ID numbers must be the same.
Please see tables below for the reference.
Document 1 Document 2 ID Start date End Date Data ID Date Data 11 01/01/2009 31/12/2010 Data 1 11 05/05/2011 22 01/01/2010 31/12/2010 Data 2 22 08/08/2010 22 01/01/2011 31/12/2011 Data 3 33 01/01/2012 33 01/01/2012 31/12/2012 Data 4 11 02/02/2009 33 01/01/2010 31/12/2011 Data 3
This formula works on 1 sheet but we are unable to make it work looking across multiple worksheets? Looking for a match to A3 in column G and wanting to pull the info from column E in the same row.
I am trying to replicate a payslip from a list of data on a worksheet.
The list of data contains the employee name, location they worked, and number of hours.
Each employee will work at multiple locations throughout the month, perhaps 10 or so.
The payslip must contain each location worked along with the relevant data, in a list so to speak.
What function can I use to pull this in? Of course if it were one location I would use vlookups to pull in data. As this only returns the top match I would then need a different formula to pull in the second location in the cell underneath?
At a high level, I have several thousand rows of data. For the sake of simplicity, assume there are two columns: 1) Name; and 2)A comment (optional, could be blank). See below for example..
Sheet 1 Row 1: Mike │ "Great to work with" Row 2: Mike │ "Bad manager" Row 3: Tom │ "Great guy" Row 4: Mike │ (blank) Row 5: John │ "Cool" Row 6: Mike │ "Best boss"
On a separate sheet, I want to be able to somehow use a lookup function to combine all the comments for each name in a nicely formatted package (notice how I skipped the blank space so it wouldn't take up a line.
Sheet 2
="Comments for "&[ref to cell containing "Mike" in another sheet] - Great to work with - Bad manager - Best boss
I have a list with 8 columns. In the majority of instances, Columns A & B will have duplicate information. I need to be able to search columns A & B & return the information from them PLUS all info contained on the same row's from columns C/D/E/F/G & H. EG:...
My column headings are as follows... Type Region Contact Phone Email ADD1 ADD2 ADD3
In column A (type) would be the type of contact eg:business/personal/family etc.
So... If looking for family I'd need excel to show me the region, contact, phone, email, add1, add2 & add3 for each family record. Hope this makes sense! There are over 1000 records i need excel to search through & return matches.
I'm an intermediate excel user at best so finding it complicated. Tried vlookup but that stops when it finds a match & anything else seems over my head.
I have attached a sample spreadsheet which describes my problem.
In C2 and C3 under the first business coalitions column, I have written in text what I would like to be displayed automatically with a formula. The trouble is that, as you can see, Abbott Laboratories is a member of 3 business coalitions. Therefore, a simple vlookup doesn't work because that would only return 1 result.
have a formula or something along those lines that will look for the data you type in to the selected cell and will show you on how many workbooks it has been entered in. For example, I have workbook a, b, c, d, e, f. all have 12 sheets. On these 12 sheets there is a place to enter the serial number of an item. What I would like to be able to do is on a different workbook be able to type in a serial number and have it show which workbooks it has ever been typed in and its location on said workbooks. and if possible the results of the item which would be whether it was accepted or rejected( this bit is not totally must have. but the workbook and sheet location is a must.)
b2,b3 Formula = Indirect(Address(match(a2,????,0),1,1,1,"Data"))
i dont know what is the correct range inside the match fuction to identiy the row number inside the Data sheet, i think the solution would be match(a2,Data!a2:a13,0) but things might get complicated if you have multiple worksheet such as sheet2: Data , sheet3: Data2, sheet3: Data 3
and each table has unsorted details compared to others sheets (Data vs Data 2)
What I am trying to achieve is using the above can it check
C4:C7 Grouped and named "first" C8:C10 Grouped and named "second" C11:C13 Grouped and named "third"
If one from each group is selected it returns 1 value, if 2 of each are selected it returns a second value and if 3 of each are selected it returns a third value?
I thought by grouping them it may give me the desired results but all it does is change if I select more than one from any of the groups.
I'm looking to create a macro that will take data from an input sheet, and paste it into a cell in another worksheet, based on criteria specified in sheet1.
Specifically in the attached example, the macro would copy the data in cells C8:C10 of sheet 1, then paste them into sheet 2 based on the data specified in cell B3 i.e. it would paste them into the column headed Mar-09. I intend to make this cell a drop down, so that the user can then select the next reporting month and run the macro again to paste the data into the Apr-09 column.
I am trying to build a staff roster. The staff rotate over a 4 week cycle. the name of the staff member, and their shift needs to be looked up from the key then matched with the particular week. the name and shift then need to populate specific cells.
I have attached the worksheet so you can see what i am trying to achieve.
I am looking for a solution other than using an advanced data filter for unique records only.
I would like to take a large list (columns A:D), and automatically filter for unique records and other conditions and paste the results in different tables (Group A & Group B).
Group A only includes records with value ="A" in the checksheet column. Group B includes records with value <>"A" in the checksheet column.
Does anyone have any ideas how to do this so that when I paste the large list in columns A:D, the other tables (Group A & Group B) are automatically populated?
I have a list of holiday data which has the following info. Name, Date from, date to, hours off per day. I need to look up this information and place the number of hours against each day for each person. The problem I am having is that I can't get the hours into the cells for which the date is between the date from and date to. I have attached spreadsheet and how I want the summary page to look. I just need the correct formula inserting.
I'm trying to put together a spreadsheet that tracks disc capacity increases, affected by any incoming projects. I've managed to do so for one project, but would like to for up to 10. The way i've designed the solution (i'm sure there are far more elegant ways, but hey) is thus:
A forecast worksheet keeps track of a grand total, taking information from sheets P1 -> P10 (being projects 1 to 10). I am unable to figure a way to add up all the increases from all 10 project worksheets with one succinct formula. What I use so far is: ='P1'!C83+SUMIF('P1'!E82,"=2009 - Q1",'P1'!D82) ..................
I am trying to enter a value in cell F1 by comparing the values in cells A1,B1 & C1. By using 'if, and, or' functions I can automatically input a figure for a limited number of values in A1 to C1. What I need to do is lookup from a database for say 10 possibilities in A1, five in B1 and 35 in C1 returning the correct number for the combination in F1.
from data lsts i select unit type , then hinge type then code.... the problem is that as soon as i select code all the values (H W D ) in the next three cells should automatically change.
the values against each cabinet code are also provided in the same sheet.
I'm having difficulty finding a way to ask excel to lookup a value based on an array spanning multiple rows and columns. There's a mock example in the attached.
I would like to lookup and return results based on the values of two cells A1 and B1.
The returned results are from column G to column I and always returned in the same location of the spread sheet.
For example if P2560 is selected in A1 and D10 in cell B1 then after lookup the results would be the values of G3 to I4. Alternatively if A1 is P2560 and B1 is D20, then the results are the values of E5 to I7 and so on.
see the attached spreadsheet for more details. This shows the main data (A2 to I15) and the expected results depending what value is selected for cells A1 and B1.
I have used this handy formula =INDEX(MID(SheetNames,FIND("]",SheetNames)+1,255),ROWS(A$1:A2))
to create an index page that looks like this right now:
Index 35035-9 37032-14 37065-6 37079-4
Now what I would like to do is get cell B1 on each of these sheets to post in the next column without hardcoding the name of the sheet into the formula. So in the cell next to 35035-9, I would like the formula to look at worksheet name, and then go to that worksheet, and return cell B1. Same for all the other worksheet names.
There will be multiple additions of worksheet to this list over the course of the next year and I want to be able to index them easily.
I have a spreadsheet that I am trying to make more functional. Basically, when I click on my dropdown (sheet1), it changes the value of the cell in B3 in sheet2. Also in sheet 2, I have column and row heading where I would like to return data via this lookup.
Rows = customers Columns = product groups
So, you click on the drop down and it changes the month's data that you want to see (at least that's the theory). On sheet3, I have the sales data by customer, by product group and by month. If it weren't for the month, a simple index/match combination would work. How can I get that same functionality, to also look at the month?
I'm looking to look up sheet name based on a date, then look the date up within that sheet which is a merged cell, then return the figure in the corresponding cell.
I have a sample worksheet to attach, just have to work out how to do it.!
In the sheet "Cashflow Summary" in cell E24, i want to lookup the sheet name based on the value in C22 (merged cell), then lookup the date in that sheet (6 August 2014), and return the value in cell y8.
The difficulty is with firstly the merged cells, but also performing the lookup over a number of different arrays, as the sheets for each month, have the months listed under each other in rows of 5 days at a time.
I am trying to create an automated receipt for a list of artists. 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. Maybe VLOOKUP is the wrong formula to use.. I have attached the file.
I have two workbooks, one with two sheets and the other the new workbook where I want to copy the cell values. What I am trying to accomplish is:
1. From Workbook book1. sheet2. cellb (dynamic row values) I want to look for the value in book1.sheet1.cellb (static row values). If it is found I want to copy the cell values from book1.sheet2.cellb, celld, and celle to book2.sheet1.cellb, celld, and cellg. If there in a new value in book1.sheet2.cellb, I want to copy the same values (cellb, cellc, celld,celle) to book2.newrow.
I am attching the two workbooks with sample data, for clarification.
I have a workbook with 2 different types of sheet - 1 containing source data and the others 'collecting' data from the source sheet, depending on what the sheet is for.
For example, the data source contains different pets, their names, ages and their owners.
The other sheets are on a one-per-owner basis.
What I would like to do is use a LOOKUP / MATCH function to lookup the owner name typed in cell A1 of the output sheet and match it with the corresponding owner name(s) on the source sheet. I would then like it to return with each pet and append the results on the sheet accordingly - like below:
John Smith (in cell A1)
Pet - Name - Age ------------------- Dog - Rover - 3 Goldfish - Tom - 1 Gerbil - Chewit - 4
