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).

Choose Which Column To Filter Based On Cell Value?

Apr 23, 2013

conditional Macro or filter? Easy to record a Macro which filters, but choosing what (column) to filter based on values of a cell I'm not sure how to go about that. It means implementing IFs into a Macro, or..?

Data on "Staff List" sheet I have a list with all staff details including availability. I need to filter their availabiltiy and copy values over to another sheet. The availabiltiy shows Monday to Sunday and states for which of our offices they are are available. Here the columns BS to BY

Available Location Monday
Available Location Tuesday
Available Location Wednesday

[Code]....

Now I need the Macro to choose which column to filter based on the office set in cell C3 on the "Availability" sheet. And then filter that column for YES.

LOOKUP / MATCH Function To Lookup The Owner Name Typed In Cell

Jan 2, 2009

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

Referring To Formulae In The Choose Function

Jun 27, 2007

I have a number of different formulae I want to invoke according to a choice. I am able to request the formula I want by entering them ‘in line’ as value1, value2 etc into the CHOOSE formula … e.g. =CHOOSE($H$1,IF(N3>O3,1,""),IF(N3<O3,1,""),IF(N3=O 3,1,””))

but this is cumbersome and confusing since I have a growing number of choices and some of the formulae are quite long. I want to enter them in a list and extract the formula which corresponds with the Index_num in the CHOOSE formula. I also need the cells in the formulae to be relative so this rules out using NAMES to refer to the formulae.

Lookup Function - Return Value From Column That Relates To Array

Apr 12, 2013

I would like to write a formula to return a value from a column that relates to an array within which my lookup value exists. See the tables below:

ID
V1
V2
V3

105
27
3
149

[Code] .......

The tables above are on different sheets within a workbook. I would like to write a formula that returns the "ID" numbers from column "A" in the first table, based on values in columns B-D in that first table, into column "C" in the second table. For example, in this case, the ID number that corresponds with the value "12491" would be "109", since 12491 corresponds with 109 in the first table.

FYI, the "Value" numbers in the second table are calculated based on their rank (high-low) within the matrix in the first table.

I tried the INDEX-MATCH function, but it doesn't seem to work if I'm trying to find a value within a 2-D array- it only works if I'm looking in a single column.

Create Function To Choose And Display Optimal Configuration Of 5 Box CBM

Feb 27, 2014

I am creating a box CBM optimizing tool at work for shipping our products internationally so that the sales department and logistics can estimate shipping costs and weights with out needing me to physically pack everything in advance. I have broken every product we sell into individual CBM's as well as the boxes that we use to ship. I have also set it up to give a break down of "boxes needed" to accommodate the approximated CBM by box size.

How to create a function that will take that info and calculate which combination of boxes will utilize the available space... In other words, how do i take my break down of the 6 box sizes available, with the "# of boxes needed" data i already have, and have it tell me which combination of boxes will utilize the maximum percentage of space, or leave the least amount of unused space based off of the cumulative CBM being shipped.

Snippet attached:

Find Column Number And Then Use Index Function

May 28, 2008

I have a database with over 100 products listed across the first row.
Column a has a list of over 500 projects. Across each project various columns are marked with a number depending on how many of each products are being used on that project.
For Example

A B C D E etc.
Products --> X Y Z AA
Proj 1 2 3
Proj 2 1 4 5
Proj 3 2 4
etc.

I want to be able to create a report for any given product.
The report could look like,
Product Z
Proj 1 3
Proj 3 2

So I need to lookup the product code across row 1 and determine the column number and then INDEX down that column and find all non blank cells and read the project names from column A.

I am familiar with formulas with INDEX and V/H LOOKUP functions. I am not very good with VBA codes.

Mar 4, 2008

I have a workbook with 12 sheets. On the 12th sheet I need some VB to go to each of the other tabs and find the letter “E” or “H” in column F. Once the “E” or “H” is found in column F and a number =>9 is found in column E then copy that row from column A-F and paste this row to sheet 12.

Find & Return One Of Many Values In Cell & Lookup Corresponding Match

Dec 10, 2007

Working on an export from an e-commerce application that lists the item purchased, unfortunately not by item #, but rather a lengthy description. I'm trying to construct an item number based on that description which contains several constants.

Each item ordered appears in a single row, comprised of ORDERID, QTY, PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

I have several tables to pick out PRODUCT TYPE, COLOR, SIZE, etc. I need a formula to search to see which of the unique values appears in each in the cell and return the shortcut of that value.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION example "Sweater - Blue - Large - Wool"

TYPE TABLE:
Sweater SWTR
T-Shirt TSHT
Jeans JEANS

COLOR TABLE:
Blue BL
Green GN
Purple PL
Black BK

I would have separate tables for each part of the description.

The formula I'm seeking would search the PRODUCT DESCRIPTION cell for the range of values for each 'part'. So it would search to see which of Sweater, T-Shirt, or Jeans was in the cell and then return the one that was - SWTR in this example. I would modify this formula for each 'part', in its own cell, and then use an =cell#&"-"&cell#&etc... to combine these returned values.

I know I can write a large if- chain using ISERROR & FIND, though some of these lists will get lengthy.

Return Cell Address That Falls Within A Range Of A Custom Lookup Function

Jul 3, 2009

I am performing a lookup using the populare user defined function nlookup, which does not take a lookuparray argument to find lookup values. But I only want to return lookup values that fall into a certain array. To accomplish this, I figured out that I need a way to specify a condition of the type "if cell address of lookup value falls within range"

It should be possible if I find a way to return the cell address of the nlookup value, but as nlookup is not limited by a lookuparray argument, so I was not able to use the address/index/match that come up in similar questions.

Chart Type To Choose - Assign Particular Column To Particular Axis Only

Jan 16, 2014

I have a excel with data values in 5 different columns.

Column A: Time in seconds (1,2,3,4,5.... so on) continuously in equal intervals.

Column B: Values Generated by my machine at each second (random values)

Column C: Values generated based on column B using a formula (Let formula be denoted by " F ").

Column D: Highest possible value of calculation on column B (With +ve error consideration in formula "F")

Column E: Least possible value of calculation on column B (With -ve error consideration in formula "F")

Two graphs need to be generated as follows:

Graph 1:
X Axis: time values ( From Column A )
Y Axis: Corresponding machine generated values from Column B

Graph 2: Envelope
X Axis: time values ( From Column A )
Y Axis: Both value of column D & E ( Time value 1 sec has two corresponding values, one from Column D and one from Column E)

Both values of Column D and E be plotted and the area between two lines generated by upper limit and lower limit (Column D and E respectively)

So for both, what chart types should I select, and how do I assign that particular column to that particular axis only.
