Lookup On Part Of Cell Value
Jun 21, 2006
I have a question regarding searching in cells for a value, and returning corresponding data. This is what my workbook looks like:
Sheet1, cell A1 contains value "D600"
Sheet1, cell A2 contains value "V-1234"
Sheet1, cell A3 contains value "DB23"
Sheet1, cell B1 empty
Sheet1, cell B2 empty
Sheet1, cell B3 empty
..........................
1. search each cell value form Sheet1 column A, in Sheet2 column B
2. when a match is found, return the corresponding value of column A from Sheet2....

I'm creating a worksheet that gives a list of part numbers based on the product part code. In most cases I can use the following.
=LOOKUP(O6,{0,1,2,3,4},{"NONE (M25)","SMP-55-001","SMP-55-004","SMP-55-008","SMP-55-014"})
so this gives a part number depending on what number is placed in O6. What I need to do know is look at 2 different cells and for each combination of numbers give a different part number. so if A1 is 2 and B1 is 3 give a certain result.

We have the following formula in our timesheets. Basically when we enter a Job number in one cell in say Tab1, it will return the matching project name in a different cell that we have next to the project number. The job number match is done in the tab named "ProjectSchedule", where all the details of the project are listed. We need to extend the match range to include another tab named "CustomSchedule", but I can't figure out how to make the first formula search jobs from both tabs.
Current working formula:
=IF(C7="","",INDEX(ProjectSchedule!$C$3:$C$202,MATCH(C7 & "*",ProjectSchedule!$B$3:$B$202,0)))
What I'm trying to accomplish, but it not working is something like this:
=IF(C7="","",INDEX(ProjectSchedule!$C$3:$C$202&CustomSchedule!$C$3:$C$202,MATCH(C7 & "*",ProjectSchedule!$B$3:$B$202&CustomSchedule!$B$3:$B$202,0)))

I have a spreadsheet with 2 worksheets. On the first "active parts" I have a list of active part numbers and on the second "All Parts" I have all of the parts available.
I want to compare every part in the All Parts worksheet to see if the part number exists on the Active Parts sheet - if it's there, I would like it to return the value "Active" in column B in All Parts. I have a formula in column B in All Parts that seems to work for the first few, but as soon as it finds one that is active, the rest of the cells below all return "Active".

I am not sure if a vlookup can do the following.
I have a spreadsheet in excel with lots of rows. In column A I have some descriptions such as:
British Pound
Danish Krone
Japanese Yen
I have created another spreadsheet 2 columns that would have something like:
column A/columnB
British/Yes
Danish/No
Japananese/Yes
This 2nd spreadsheet can grow and have more lines.
In column Z of the 1st spreadsheet, I want a formula to look at the second spreadsheet and if any word in the column A of the 1st spreadsheet matches the word in column A of the second spreadsheet, I want it to the value in column B of the second spreadsheet.

I have a USB scanner connected to a PC. Data is entered into Excel when the part number barcode on a box is scanned. I have two worksheets that I will be scanning part numbers into, one is Group A and the other is Group B. On Group A's sheet there is a list of Group B part numbers that will be used for the lookup procedure when the barcode is scanned. The same is true for Group B's sheet. The groups should never be mixed, so if part number "B005" is scanned into Group A's sheet it should cause an error message to pop up. I've attached a workbook as an example. Is it possible to do this with VBA?

I'm trying to create a lookup process for my address part of my invoice, I want it so when I enter the first address it automatically looks up and enters the rest of the information (Title, Name etc.) I've been trying to do this with vlookup and I can't seem to get it to work. I'm just getting #Ref! returned.
My address 'database' (list of addresses etc) are on a seperate sheet to the Invoice.

I have a worksheet with following values:
A
B
C
1
Shorts
75
[Code]...
Also I have a Userform with 2 ComboBoxes named "ComboBox1" and "ComboBox2". Values in ComboBox1 is "Pull my pants", "Eat my shorts", "Socks for everyone".
What I would like to do is to search though column A and look for any of these textstrings in my selection in ComboBox1 and return the value from column B in column C.
Example: "Pull my pants" is selected in ComboBox1 then the value "pants" should be found in column A and value in column B (25) should be entered in cell C2.
I am fairly new to VBA and have spend hours searching Google and found some formulas like InStr and VLookup. My problem is that I am not sure if these statements will do the job and how to combine them.

I try to write the function that gets some "ref" and returns appropriate item.
For example: if I give to function "C3", it returns "AAA"
if I give to function "R18", it returns "BBB" (cause it between R15 to R26)
if I give to function "R9", it returns "BBB" also.

I have two lists.
The first:
P1116
MC1070
BD1068
I want to check if any of these values are contained in the text of each item in the second list, that looks like this:
64K4014-4" , 64K1030-4"
64P1116-3"
64P1187-4" , 64p1117-4"
64P1330-2"
64P1405-2"
64MS1007-0.75", 64MC1070-2"
64K1062-3/4"
64K1061-0.75"
64CW1062-2", 64BD1652-2"
64NG1007-1 1/2"
64K1008-2", 64BD1041-1", 64BD1068-2"
64HS1002-6"
64HS1002-6"
64CW1068-2"
I tried using the =search() function in an array formula, but I can only get it to work for a single value in the first list.

I want to be able to lookup if anywhere in a cell contains a word from a list of words, and then provides an output.
Column G:
VAT payment
HMRC payment
Pay VAT
I have a table on the side that shows:
Column Y Column Z
VATHMRC
HMRC HMRC
ie. If anything in column G matches one of the words in Column Y, then output the Column Z. I have use a Vlookup that works for the first two, as VAT is the first thing, but dont know how to make it work if the key word is in the middle of the cell.

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

Is there any way to remove the first part of a string of text in a cell and save the second part?
The first part of the text string is a team code that has a variable number of numbers, capital letters and sometimes spaces. The second part of the text string is a variable number of words in a team name that all start with a capital letter and have lower case letters. Every line has a different team code and team name.
The original spreadsheet also has a column with just team code. Is there a way of using this column to "subtract" the team code from the text string to just leave the team name?

I have a sheet where i have many differently named areas (like state1_1 and state1_2) When I doubleclick on a cell then a macro should run with following criteria: 1) Macro will run if the doubleclicked cell is part of any range in the list. Here I mean that names of ranges which belong to that list start with word state (like state1_1 and state1_2). No other ranges should not be in that list. If the cell is not in the range that is part of the list, then nothing should happen.

I have some cells with text entered in column A.
These cells contain a time reference either in '09:30 - 16:30' format or just an 'AM/PM' format.
What I need to do is to populate column B with the part of the string that comes AFTER the times in the text (either in hh:mm format or AM/PM format)
Example
336 Data 2012 Classroom Induction 2012/08/28 09:30 - 16:30 data about this ------> data about this
336 Information about this 2013/04/04 09:00 - 13:00 Information 2 ------> Information 2
336 info CHS Suffolk 2013/05/07 PM DRC, BSE ------> DRC, BSE
364 information 2013/02/12 AM DRC, BSE ------> DRC, BSE
I cannot get this to work and cannot use Text To column as there is no character I can use to split it.

I need to find the "x" in range C2:C44 and replace it with a value (variable) specified in cell I2
The catch is that I then need to be ablt to change that character when I2 changes.
Coloum C
*VER
*T’x’STATUS
*ON
*OFF
*T’x’BANDS
EG
I2 - Variable = B
*T’x’STATUS will become *T’B’STATUS
I2 - Variable = A
*T’x’STATUS will become *T’A’STATUS
But " *OFF " should not change.
I can change *T’x’STATUS to *T’B’STATUS but then I can change *T’B’STATUS to *T’A’STATUS
Please see attached example file as it shows it better than I can explain it.

In one cell I have multiple value:09/16/2013, 09/16/2013, 09/16/2013, 10/15/2013
I want to use the first read which is 08/22/2013. Not always i have multiple dates in my table.This is part of code that I am working on.What I usually do, to get the last value when I have multiple reads is:
I have select the cell C1, the multiple reads(dates) are in the cell B1, so i need the last read(10/15/2013) ;i use this code:
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=RIGHT(RC[-1],10)+1"
SO now I want use the same logic but i want to take the first read/date. Also here the cell from where I want to get the value is selected.
Above the multiple reads were in the cell B1 and cell C1 was selected before performing the code, now the code is in the cell B1 and B1 is also selected.
I tried to do ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=Left(RC[-1],10)" but I rich the value in the cell on left which is A1. I want this for tomorrow since I have something to present.

If I have some data in a cell (let's say D1) such as "m-3,s-2,xl-4", what formula can I use in say cell D2 so that if I find the characters "s-" in Cell D1, then it will return the value "2".
Similarly, in say in Cell D3, I would then want to use the same formula but modify it so that if the characters "xl-" are contained within Cell D1, the formula will return "4"

Just "upgraded" my Excel to the 2007 version. In the old Excel, I could superscript part of a cell by highlighting the part I want, then going to "Format" and "Superscript."
In Excel 2007, it doesn't work. Yes, I can highlight the part of the cell I want to superscript, I can right-click and select "format" and "Superscript", and it even then shows as superscripted in the cell. That is, until I hit enter or move to a new cell. Then the superscript is no longer there. The cell is in "general" number format.
By the way, it did work in another cell: mg/l3 (3 superscripted) works. 742 (2 superscripted) doesn't work.

Column B on the spredsheet gets the Part Description vaules, we copy and paste from Customers excel and unfortunatly some descriptions contain 3asteriks in a row (***) and I need to import this into Access later on and Access will not except asteriks. Find and replace doesnt seem to work like i hoped , it replaces everything in cell not just part of it . If someone has a Formula that will work that would be ok too, it does not have ot be VBA
EXAMPLE Part Descriptions:
RADIAL TIE DOWN LUG (4/500's) *** Formed
FINES V-PLOW/ SCRAPER MOUNT ANGLE; Rev. A ***Formed
I only need the asteriks deleted

I have to perform a v-lookup to return a value but the problem is the cell I am looking up begins with but does not exactly match the the data in the table.
For example I want to look up sheet 1 cell A1 which is "Compass" in the table in sheet 2 column A and then return the associated value in column B. It is referenced as "Compass Group" in the table so I do not get a value returned if I use the exact matching function of the vlookup (i.e. using "false") but if I use the approx it one (i.e. "true") then it returns "Compagnie" which is the name listed before "Compass Group".
Basically I want to perform a vlookup function using a cell that begins with but not exactly matches a sting of letters in a table.

I have the following formula in my workbook;
=SUMPRODUCT((A2:A8702"")/COUNTIF(A2:A8702,A2:A8702&""))
The data in the workbook is imported automatically and the range 'A8702' is different every time the data is imported, although is always in column A.
Can I use the value of a cell to determine the range?
So I have used this to get the ast used row number;
=MAX(ROW(A:A)*(A:A""))
