I am trying to perform a lookup (vlookup) function in a cell in excel and wish to have the range as a variable, so that I can adjust which column the lookup function refers to.
I am trying to use lookup function to lookup for data in another table (we call it table A). Unfortunately, whenever the code is not in the table A, Excel will return the data from the previous row.... is there any possible way to prevent this... in another word, if the code does not exist in the table A, I want Excel to return 0 or some other figures.
and what I want is to say put a formula in cell B3 on Sheet 1 pointing to cell C3 that has zip code 33333. I want it to then take that and look in Sheet 2 and search A1:D3 and when it finds 33333, return "territory 2" back to cell B3 on Sheet 1.
I need to place a lookup table in a work book and I'm not sure how to do it.Below is what I specifically need in my workbook.
c. The workbook will need a lookup table that will lookup the tuition, clothing and entertainment figures depending on the selection of college, and will ensure that only the colleges on the list are selectable. That is, the worksheet will not allow the user to enter another college not in the list.
The lookup list must be on a worksheet by itself at the end of the workbook.
I am attempting to do a search on a 2 dimensional table, based on Product Code/Month. Is there a function, addin or a macro that will allow me to do this? All I can come up with is a messy combination of VLOOKUP/HLOOKUP/COLUMN.
I have two columns of data, one containing Groups, another containing Items. Like this:
Group | Item A | Apple A | Orange B | Pear B | Banana C | Tire D | Coffee
etc.
On another sheet, I have each of the groups listed as column headings. I want to resort the data and display it in columns instead of in a single list.
I can write a VLOOKUP to search for "B" for example, and return "Pear", but I want to return all matches for "B" not just the first one.
I have 40 or so case studies on one worksheet. Each case has four columns- the first is the year, and the next three are values for that year. Each study is 140 years long, but they don't all start in the same year. What I want to do is pluck all the values from the fourth column of each study, and total them up for each year.
Basically I want to return an array (to pass to another function) containing all data that matches my search. E.g. I want to retrieve an array of the data that matches 2013-09-20. Is the only way to do this a VBA func?
I need a look-up function that can return a value from an array that can be 3 to 7 rows in height. I want the function to always look at the last row in the array.
This is how it looks:
Column A Column B blank row 1000 A B C SUM 15 blank row
In this case I want the function to return 15 if I search for 1000. The problem is that there are not always a fixed number of rows beneath the searched value.
I have 40 or so case studies on one worksheet. Each case has four columns- the first is the year, and the next three are values for that year. Each study is 140 years long, but they don't all start in the same year. What I want to do is pluck all the values from the fourth column of each study, and total them up for each year.
Here's how the sheet is set up- row 6 is a header row with four repeating column heads- year, value1, value2, value3. So year is in col A, E, I, M, Q, etc. up to FM. Value3, the one that I want totaled is in col D, H, L, P, etc up to FP. Each year column begins with a different year, (with some repeats) but each is 141 rows long, so that the first study begins in 1994 and ends in 2134, the second is from 1985-2125, the third is from 1991-2131, etc. I want excel to find all the value3's from 2007 and total them, all the value3's from 2008 and total those, up through 2145. The data range is A7:FP147. I tried adjusting some of the suggestions, but no luck. I was thinking I'd have column FQ with all the years 2007 on, and FR by the total of all the value3's from that year.
I am looking to write a macro that can look at a value (i.e. "X") in a cell and compare it to the elements in a 2D array (where one dimension corresponds to the start value and the other to the end value) that is found on another worksheet. If "X" falls between the starting and ending numbers then I would like the macro to return a string (say "Test1") to a cell on the same row and a couple of columns to the left. The string values are listed to the left of the start and end values on the first worksheet and are elements to a 1D array. I am trying to make this " loop" through all the cells that contain run numbers (I have highlighted the columns in yellow on the attached workbook). There are multiple (i.e. +12) worksheets in this project but I have only included two in the sample I am providing because of file size.
I get a file every day that contains online orders for a client. They have made the state and country fields on the order form free text, so sometimes the State field has CA, sometimes California, sometimes even Cal or Cali. Oregon may be represented as OR, Oregon, or Ore (and one time even Orygon.)
The country field may have US, USA, United States and sometimes United States of America.
Well, they need this data imported to their system with the states fully spelled out: Oregon, California. And the country spelled out as well: United States, Canada.
Right now I have a lookup tables worksheet that I just have a macro run a vlookup on. But I'd like to know if there is a way I could just put it all in the code, without the external tables.
i.e. some code that, in English, would basically say, "If the value of any cell in column K is among these values, replace it with those values, otherwise just leave it as it is". Could I do that while containing the two sets of values right in the code rather than on a worksheet?
I really just want to replace the standard abbreviated state/country codes with the full text, and if the value does contain Cali or Ore, let them manually make the change. Hopefully that will finally nudge them to just make the online order form utilize a drop-down list of states and countries, rather than free text.
I'm trying to define a range of values in two cells M1:M2; lookup that range of values in a three column array (K12:M600) and sum the values in column M12:M600 if they are positive values. I've been trying this formula:
In the attached sheet, I want to look up values from table (A1:G5) and then for each occurrence of a particular number, return the value in the same row in column H, and sum when there are multiple values (see green shaded area for desired output. For example, the number 8 occurs in E3, E4, and G5. I want to return the sum of the corresponding values in column H (1,5, and 2). I've spent hours trying to work this one out, I'm sure this is probably an array formula, but I can't manage to make it work.
Am trying to figure out the best way to combine into 1 cell an ISNA(Match... and a Lookup array that will run if the ISNA(match ... returns a false value.
Right now it's running in 2 separate cells ISNA(Match ... and then an if statement that if the ISNA(Match returns false, that the look-up runs, if it doesn't return false, then the value is 0)
I need the array portion of a lookup formula to change based on a cell value.
On a worksheet(named "groupings")that groups students according to ability level, I have data validation lists where teachers select the criteria for the group. In cell I5 they choose the period, and in cell L5 they select which assessment to look at.
Cell B8 will either say high low or medium. Then in cell C8 I have this formula: Lookup_Occurence($B$8, ??????, 1,1,2)
Again the array will depend on what is entered in cell I5 and cell L5.
I have attached one of the worksheets the lookup_occurence will be referencing. In this exit card worksheet if cell B10 (the name of the assessment) matches what the teacher chose in cell L5 on the groupings worksheet, then the array formula will be 'Exit Card'!Card1. If cell G10 matches what the teacher chose in cell L5, then the array would be 'Exit Card'!Card2. Where A9:C339 is named Card1 and cell F9:H339 is card2 etc.....
However, it gets even more complicated then that because within Card1 there are 8 periods, and if a teacher chose period 1 in cell I8 on the groupings sheet, then I only need the array to look at the period one data in the card1 array.
Essentially what I am trying to accomplish is create a page where teachers can group students by ability level according to any assessment they choose. On the exit card page the formulas currently equaling # Div/0 will say either high, med, or low depending on how a student performs on that assessment.
it's possible to set a "key" for a vlookup so that one of the parameters of that key can be any value? For example if the data set key used in the lookup contains a concatenation of 4 parameters (a_b_c_d), is there anyway to modify the lookup array key so that the "c" parameter can be anything, ie. something like a_b_*_d ?
I am looking for ideas on how to speed-up one workbook. I have a spreadsheet with hundreds of lookup formulas and array formulas which are very slow to recalculate (takes around 5 min). Good thing about it is that these formulas are located in a specific range and that I need to run them only once a day (in the morning). Since I need to refresh the rest of the spreadsheet frequently, I am looking for an idea on how to isolate this resource heavy areas.
One solution I've been thinking about is moving these complex and slow formulas to VBA and run them only when needed. Can anybody assist me with the best and easiest way of doing this. Ideally I would want to leave option to the user to later edit this formula. Does anybody have any experience with weather it is best to migrate complete formulas to VBA or maybe leave formulas in the spreadsheet and run them based on predefined flag (that I can switch on or off from the code)?
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.
