Lookup / Match And Index To Return Percentage To Table To Draw A Radar Chart?
Jun 25, 2014
I'm struggling with match, index and lookup functions. I have a formula in column D that calculates the percentage of answers against the total score for that category. The way it calculates enables me to delete rows if they are not needed and still provide a total count and a percentage score.
Now the percentage is returned from a dynamic data set, I want to plot the percentages on a spider/radar chart. Instead of manually creating the chart or using a pivot, I wanted to lookup the percentages (column D) against the category (Column A) in question and plot so the chart updates as the user changes the answers.
I would imagine that the title of this thread made little sense, so let me try to explain:
Sheet A has columns A-C populated with data. Column D needs to search Sheet B columns A-C for a match. (ie, see if the data on sheet A is also on sheet B) if this is true, then it needs to return the value of the LAST column of the matched row in Sheet B.
So, if Sheet A R1 A-C is 1,2,3. Sheet A R1 D needs to search Sheet B for 1,2,3. and when it finds it, (for example on row 9) return the value of the last column of Sheet B row 9. The issue is, the last value could be in column R or S or AA, there is just no way of knowing.
How to use the Sumproduct with index and match formula and then multipling by a set percentage.
I want to take all amounts in K10:K113 and have them add together based on specific criteria in A1:A113 and in B1:B113 and then multiply the result by a set percentage.
Excel offers many ways to use a key to lookup a value (VLookup, Index/Match, DGet, and the rest). What's the fastest way to perform a lookup of a small table of, say, 30 rows of key-value pairs? Theoretically, it would be most efficient to use a branch table (also known as a jump table). See the wikipedia article for branch tables: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branch_table. Does Excel/VBA have a way to create a branch table for such lookups?
See attached file, "Rate Sample Index-Match Formula".
I need a formula to return the value at the cross section of two (2) lookup values that match. This formula will be input into column D under, "RATE" on the 1st tab, "TEST FILE".
In the 1st tab, "TEST FILE" there are a series of columns as follows;
A = Service B = From C = To D = Rate
In the 2nd tab, "RATES" there is a series of rates with drivers From (green) & To (blue)
The formula needs to do the following;
1. Lookup the "From" value in column B on tab, "TEST FILE" and match to column B2:B59 on tab, "RATES" both highlighted in green 2. Then Lookup the "To" value in column C on tab, "TEST FILE" and match to row C1:BH1 on tab, "RATES" both highlighted in blue 3. Then return the value at the cross section of the match "From" (point 1 above) & "To" (point 2 above) in range C2:BH59
For Example;
The rate From SYD To CBR = 0.33. I have highlighted this in yellow on both tabs to show where the formula needs to lookup the data to return the answer.
Additionally, if we were to add service as an additional lookup match how would this work?
I'm trying to use a radar chart with six variables, they range from 1.8 to around 23; obviously this doesn't present very well on the Radar graph; how to format and scale each individual axis?
Sheet B contains a column called "Name" and for each name, and for each name there are corresponding numbers. In sheet A, I have a "list of interest" in column A. What i want to do look through the data in sheetB to find a match from the list of interest and return the corresponding letters, located in column A.
I have filled out the first two rows of results that should be returned as an example.
One idea i had was to put a vlookup formula in each column result 1 to result 6 so i can catch all 6 "Serves" columns from column B, but there may be duplicates in the serve columns and vlookup only reports the first match.
Any way of displaying only certain vertical grid lines on a radar chart. I've added several blank rows of data to make the chart more of a circle but I don't want every one of the vertical lines to display. How to only show some of the vertical grid lines?
I am setting up a spreadsheet, that will have multiple sheets for each branch, this will than be referencing back to another sheet for data. As i will be replicating the sheets I want to make the formulas as easy as possible so I dont have to change them in every sheet. I have attached an example, the data sheet will have a table for each month, the remaining sheets will be each branch, ideally I would like to have a formula that looks up the data sheet and returns a value for each month and then be able to replicate the formula across each sheet. As the formula is looking at 3 different areas (date, branch and mortgage balance) i have tried using idex and match, but are not having any success.
I now have another worksheet wherein I want a cell to recall a Value from range "A", using the code in range "B". So for example I'd want want my cell to search for the code to the left of it, "6464", and bring up value "Aluminium". HOWEVER, and here is where I feel it gets tricky - I intend to drag that cell down across a column - but when the cell encounters "6464" again, instead of showing "Aluminium", I this time want it to show the next entry under "6464" - "steel".
I hope this is clear. I'd post the excel spreadsheet but it is very large. Basically I want to INDEX MATCH function to remember its already recalled a specific value for code "6464" (in this case "aluminium") and to recall the the OTHER value related to this code.
My excel has a range of Purchase orders, and a range of the materials ordered under that PO number. I'm making a sheet that drags out all the PO numbers from my worksheet (which will have repetitions of 4-5 at a time), and then using those POs to find each material ordered that corresponds to that number.
I'm trying to do is (in column L) find which column the figure in column K appears in the preceding columns, then look in row 9 and return the month when this was charged. I need some kind of reverse HLOOKUP-type function!
I am having a heck of a time coming up with the proper combination of functions to return data to my worksheet.
Attached, you will find a screen shot of the pages I am dealing with. Here is what I am trying to do:
On the page named Update Master, I am trying to put formulae into the highlighted cells C2:C11. Each cell will contain a formula to MATCH the team name in UpdateMaster!A:A with a team name in the chart found on worksheet WEEK ONE. Then, I want to return the value found 8 cells down, and 1 cell to the right of that MATCH. Here is a specific example:
In cell Update Master!C2, I need a formula that will MATCH the value in Update Master!A2, , with a value on the WEEK ONE! worksheet. (In this case, 2EZ. After locating the match, I want to return the value found in the bottom right of that players weekly score box. (WEEK ONE!C9...in this example).
I can't make a direct reference to the data...because the value in Update Master!A:A will change after each week. The team names will be sorted in alphabetical order after being sorted by the value found in Update Master!AE:AE...(each player's accumulated score).
I have tried so many combinations of MATCH, LOOKUP, OFFSET, INDEX, ROW...etc., and I keep getting VALUE# or NA# errors at some point in the computation. Maybe one of you can point me in the right direction.
I'm trying to do in Excel 2000 that seemed way easier before I tried to write the formula. Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
I have some data setup more or less like this:
1State DeptJan Feb Mar 2California 50128 31 6 3Utah 20119 3 11 4California 20122 49 22 5New York 301 29 51 15 I'm looking to write a formula to retrieve the numerical value located in the cell for a particular month, across from a particular department number and state - so I can plug it into another spreadsheet.
I tried the following formula for January, but I get an "N/A" error when I hit 'Ctrl+Shift+Enter' to use it...
=INDEX(C2:C5,MATCH(1,("Utah"=A2:A5)*("201"=B2:B5),0)) Can you not use static values in this type of formula?
That's all fine but some of the items in the list will not be able to match the lookup table and in this case I want it to say 0 (zero), but instead its saying #N/A which I understand means data unavailable. Is there a way of saying if so and so doesn't match put 0 instead of #N/A?
I have two active worksheets. The first one is called 'Chart' and the second is 'Values'. I have three columns of data. I would like to look in the first two, and return a value in the third. =INDEX(Values!$C$1:$C$299,MATCH(Values!$D$1:$D$299,LEFT(Chart!A1:A16091,6)&" "&LEFT(Chart!C1:C16091,2)),0) .........
I'm trying to perform an index / match lookup that can have a dynamic indexed column.
Sheet1 has the master table and sheet2 is where I'm putting the formula. The table on sheet1 has a RecordID field that uniquely identifies each record and that must be typed into Sheet2 [RecordID] column and then matched to sheet one to identify the record
Code: MATCH([RecordID],Table1[RecordID],0)
The column headers on Sheet1 are used as data validation for the column [Field] on sheet2. The value of the Field column on sheet two should determine the the column on sheet1 to index.
I am very competent using the index match formula and have incorporated this into many spreadsheets to auto-fill for avoiding input errors. The objective I am attempting now is to retrieve from a list of 2800 entries the smallest return on an index match formula.
From the data below if my Index Match formula uses C1 to index and match my return is always a7 (-12.7) the first in the list, where my desire is a return of a19 (-14.11). To complex this problem I often have duplicate amounts that need to be listed when they fall into my parameters. I have figured that the Small function allows me to assign first smallest, second smallest, and so forth.
I prefer not to use vlookup for simplicity and error avoidance issues.
how to go about this, as I always get confused with Index and Match. In my example, in col A I have the Beginning of a period, Column B is the End of the Period, and the amount to be matched is in Column D. Range A1 to E4 is the source data. Below that, starting from A9 to A37 are dates. I would like to match the corresponding value in range D2:D3 if the date in range in A9 : A37 falls between the period stated in A2:B3. I've listed how the values should appear in C9:C37.
What I want to do is, given the data in col. a, I want to supply a number(range) of strings which can be found in column a, whenever a string is found, which exists in given range, I want to write the string from the Key(col. c) in col b instead of the value from the string that matches a value.
See below for example of what I got working but not exactly what I was looking for
Col. A- Data Orangegreen Blackwhite Blueyellow
Col. B - Result
Col. C - Keys Orange White Yellow
I used
Code: =INDEX(A1:A3,MATCH("*"&C1&"*",A1:A3,0))
This does produce a result, but not entirely what I am after.
This requires only one string to search for, and will in cell B1 result in a value of 'Orangegreen' as I can only supply one valeu to the function. What I want to do is supply the function with a range of values, and have those values outputtet in colb instead af the value of cells where the result is found.
I tried modifying the function to include a range, but that does not produce a valid result.
In column B I enter a date when a student attended tutoring. In column C I enter the name of a student attending the tutoring.
In cell D4, I will be entering a student name
In cells D5:D55 I'd like a formula that transposes the dates (if any) that a student attended tutoring. So if a student has their name appear beside the dates ... 14-Feb, 22-Mar, 24-Mar .... then I'd like those three dates to appear in cells D%, D6 and D7.
How to formulate this ... I'm guessing it's going to involve an index-match formula.
