Lookup - Large Data Multiple Columns?
Nov 18, 2008
In column A I have a list of product names..(e.g....ABCD, JKLM....)...this is the "master product list" -- 1000 rows of products.
In columns C:G, I have additional product names, each column represents products sold by state. (each column lists between 100-250 products).
I want to do a VLOOKUP and I wanted to know what products that are in
A1:A1000, that is NOT listed in C:G?
My experience with VLOOKUP is limited...but I do know that I can only look in 1 column at a time.
How can I write it to look at the ENTIRE range? I suppose I can copy all the all the products to 1 column...?

I want to use the attached Test.xls file below and do a lookup from the Data.csv (see zip file) where "Empl ID" (column A in Test.xls) matches "ID" (column A in Data.csv). I want to bring back "SupvID" (column B in Data.csv) into column D in Test.xls.
The problem I have is that in real life Data.csv is a very large file and contains more than Excel's maximum number of rows. I want to automate this using VBA to lookup the values without opening the csv file.
I have looked at a number of forums for answers and I can see where using an ADO connection will probably help accomplish this, but I can't seem to get it to work on these specific files.

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 a large spreadsheet converted from pdf whose data still appears in A4 reading format.
I need to move part columns of data from 6 columns to form 1 large column in column A.
For example, move range B8 to B76 beneath range A8 to A76 and range C8 to C76 beneath that etc, page by page working through all 270 pages !
Also need to delete unnecessary 'page headers' throughout as in rows 2-6

Certification and Training tracking.xlsx
I want to create a certification only list on a separate tab of training that has been completed where a certification has been issued (as indicated by a "Y" in the "Certification?" column on the training tracking tab) and then populate from some of the fields vs. all of the fields.
What I have now, only pulls the first occurence, not all occurences. I saw that I could have identified the multiple columns that needed to be populated, but it didn't work either, so I'm fine putting a separate vlookup in each column.

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 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.

I have data like this:
Code:
500a
TRUE470b
440c
TRUE410d
TRUE380e
350f
[Code]...
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".
Code:
xmelbournea
sydneyb
xadelaidec
xmelbourned
sydneye
[Code]....
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.

Here are two sheets:
Sheet1

Sheet2
ip system
1.1.1.3
2.2.2.3
3.3.3.6
3.3.3.1
Sheet 1 has 7 columns(system,ip1,ip2,ip3,ip4,ip5,ip6 and ip7)
Sheet 2 has 2 columns (ip,system)
I have to fill column "system" in sheet 2 with "system" listed in column 1 of Sheet1.
In other words look for "ip" in Sheet2 in 6 columns of Sheet1 and return column 1 of sheet1 as value.

I am trying to run a lookup on a rather large table.
Column A Column B Column C Column D Column E Column F
Postal code City Province Postal code City Province
I am trying to look up the City and Province based on the Postal code and can't figure out how to do this.
There are too many Postal codes to fit them all in Column A, I have tried V Lookup, Index Match and can't get it to work.

I'm using an index array formula I learned here to lookup a value between 2 sheets in a workbook. I have had no trouble using it when matching just 2 pieces of information (first & last name), but now I need to make 3+ matches to get the value & the formula is no longer working.
When I check "show calculation steps" in the attached example, I can actually see that all 4 items have successfully matched across the 2 sheets but for some reason the formula is still not pulling in the desired value. Am I wrong to think that I can match more than 2 items w/ this kind of a formula?

I have a large spreadsheet which I need to split into individual workbooks by reference to a particular column.
Rather then doing this manually and splitting the data out one at a time - I would like a macro to do this for me.
I am a novice excel user.

I'm working on a database right now for our school, similar to a directory. What I want to do is be able to look up what items a staff member has been issued and when/if they were returned. What I have right now is one sheet with all the information about the staff that looks like the one below. I want to create a separate sheet where you could look up a staff member by last name and can find all the information in the array relative the the specific cell looked up.
Last Name
First Name
Position
Building
Items
So, on the "lookup" sheet, I want to be able to input either Doe and have the look up return cells B2:E6, or if I input Smith it should return cells B7:D11.
I've been experimenting with Vlookup, hlookup, index, and match but haven't been able to get exactly what I want..

I am looking to write a search function that searches through a whole document. The only examples I can find are of a could different search functions but they all are searching an specified individual column and even then I didn't really understand them. My worksheet has 6 different columns which are all different labels for a certain tool. I want the user to be able to input any of those 6 labels and have all the information in that row be returned.

I would like to put a formula (or make a macro) for Cell F7 (and all the other cells too) in sheet "Budget Sheet" that pulls the value $100 from cell G5 from sheet "Input Sheet" by looking through columns A-F for the account ID "5111100"
Obstacles:
- I (for the most part) cannot change the format of "Budget Sheet" or "Input Sheet"
- I cannot have the formula (or macro) just look down Column F because the actual file I am working with has the pertinent account IDs scattered through columns D-F (it was exported from another program).
Notes:
- I am using Excel 2003 SP3
- If necessary, I can make the reference to "5111100 · Bonus" if that would make things simpler
- Column G will always contain the dollar amount I need.
-I've been hitting the books trying to figure out how to get array formula working on this and cannot for the life of me get it to obey when I press ctrl-shift-enter.

I'm trying to find a way to:
Use a referenced lookup value from sheet "A", to return values, from several columns in sheet "B"
Things to note:
a) The lookup values sometimes repeat. I need all the associated values with each repetition as well.
b) The lookup values in sheet "A" are a comprehensive list, sheet "B" also contains some of these values but not all. Essentially, what I need to do is find a way to lookup each value in an account numbers column in sheet "A", against a different account numbers column in sheet "B".
If that value occurs in sheet "B" I want it to return the values from Columns X, Y, Z, (I want these values returned in sheet "A".
If that value does not occur in sheet B, the corresponding cells should remain blank.
If the lookup value occurs multiple times, I need all the corresponding values from each of X, Y, Z columns.

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 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 a lookup table which needs to be able to retrieve data from columns as well as rows and not sure if this is possible.
My data is set up with an ID number, financial year and data across the columns e.g
ID F/Y Apples Pears
9999 2004/5 5 4
9999 2005/6 7 8
9881 2003/4 5 3
My lookup table will have the ID number field which will be manually entered to lookup the information on the data sheet. e.g
ID 9999
FY Apples Pears
2004/5 5 4
2005/6 7 8
I can't work out a way to get excel to only give me the number of apples and pears for that year for that ID number. Not all ID numbers will have the same number of financial years so I may need to use VBA.

I need to bring in values into one worksheet from another worksheet using row 1 and column A as criteria. I have previously done this using Sumproduct. However the complicated issue with this new worksheet is the setout. The source worksheet (see attached) has the actual data spread across columns. How can I bring in the values to the 'Summary' sheet from the '0607' sheet using the Employee number and the seg code as 2 criterias to lookup and bring in the resulting data (which is spread out in the purple area in the '0607' worksheet).

I am trying to write a macro that will take data from column A and use it as a column header in column C, and then take the corresponding data in column B and list it under the column header in column C. When the value in column A changes it will move on to column D and then list the corresponding data from column B underneath it in column D until all of the data in the 2 columns is spread across the worksheet.

I'm trying to return the next unique item in the list of partnumbers. The count column indicates that there are that many instances of that part number. I then populate down than many to VLOOKUP the value "count" number of times. The formula I am using to get the MFR code compares the pn to the one above it. If it matches, I want it to return the MFR offset by the one above it for that part number.
Source data: (will alwyas be sorted by part number, then by MFR)

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.

I have a list of urls (about 1 million) that looks like this:
I want my results to only show this (since this is the only thing in the second file that does not contain anything from the first file):
I have tried programs designed to do this but they either (a) shorten everything down to the domain or (b) wont remove anything since the domains are part of a longer url in the second file.

I have a large database of research data where the first column contains different categories (labelled as I, II, III, IV, V, and VI). For each row there is a data value in the second column that is numeric. What I need to do is move the data so that the data are displayed in 6 columns with the data values listed each column heading according to the category label. In the example I've shown there are 6 different categories, but the number of categories (and hence the number of columns in the final resulting sheet) will change for different data sets that I'm using. Also note the the number of cases for each different category is different (so that each column will not be even in terms of the number of rows of data under each column heading). I hope I've been able to explain what I'm looking for clearly.
I've attached a sample file showing the sample data input that I have on one sheet, and then the desired re-tablulated outcome on the second. I have done this using the auto-filter function and copy/paste, but this will take far too long for the larger datasets I'm working with.
