Lookup Value In Array - Where Found Multiple Times Return Closest Prior Date
Mar 13, 2014
I have a list of ID Numbers and Dates. Let's call this "List 1".
I also have a second list "List 2" which also contains a list of ID Numbers and Dates as well as a third column for Rating.
I am trying to extract the Rating for each ID Number from List 2 and display in List 1. The problem is that the Rating can change with time, so List 2 contains several different Date and Rating values for the same ID Number.
What I need to do is lookup the ID Number from List 1 and return from List 2, for that ID Number, the Rating at the closest date prior to the date for that ID Number in List 1. Example below:
List 1
List 2
ID Number
Date
Rating
111
17/04/13
5

The formula you see below works great. It will lookup to the closest value that matches the criteria.
=LOOKUP(2*F2-0.000000000001,C1:C4+C2:C5,D2:D5)
Here is the problem when I try to expand the range I get a zero.
=LOOKUP(2*F2-0.000000000001,C1:C19+C2:C20,D2:D20)
Is there anyway we could overcome this?
I know I could use a formula array for this, but I would like to know if this could be done in a non-array 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.

I know something very similar was posted before, but unfortunately, it wasn't what I was looking for. I have a Worksheet tracking several associates and the department they have done work in. (Our associates are contractors for other departments). I need to have a final worksheet that allows me to pull up a name, and display every dept they worked with in the past week.

I used a Fuzzy lookup to match the data that was shared between my two tables. I was able to run 3 different Fuzzy attempts to increase my accuracy because the source data had a lot of spelling errors and such.
Now I am at a point where I need to analyze the 3 possible Fuzzy matches. I am kinda stumped on the best route to do this and thought that an approximate match Hlookup would be the best route but I can't seem to get it to work.
Here is a pic of my table:[URL]
I am trying to match the cell outlined in red against the 3 cells outlined in green, when the best suited match is found I need to copy the green cell and the orange adjacent cells to it's left and right (ID# and Similarity). It would be best if the match threshold was in the low 90% range.

I am trying to use a formula similar to VLOOKUP() to look in a table for two values and if both values are found, return another value.
Sheet2 is an example of my output file, sheet one is a generated file. i would like the vlookup formula in sheet 2 cell D2 and down to be something like this,
=VLOOKUP(A2,Sheet1!A:K,10)
But I would like to lookup A2 and B2, and the row that contains both values, return the value in the J column

If lookup doesn't find a match in the first column, can I get it to return an
"ERR" or "0", something that would let me know there was no match? Right now
it returns the value in the second column of the closest value.

i have this code which looks in a folder and moves all .csv files from folder into workbook. The code uses an Array.
If the code does not find a file in the folder (from the array) it returns an error. How can i modify this so that (if a file is not found from the array) then the code still continues without generating errors?

I need to create a macro that will loop through a list of names on Sheet 1 / Column A, and if that name is listed on Sheet 2 / Column A, then it will set Sheet 1 Column B (for that one name) to "1".
The problem I've run in to is that both the lists change in length each time I have to run this (so no set range).
I've been able to get this to work with two ( nested) loops, where the first loop goes through the Sheet 1 list and the nested Loop looks for the name on Sheet2, but it is extremely slow.
Is there any simple VBA code or formula that I'm missing that could do this? I've tried to do something with the " Find" VBA command, but I can't see how it would apply to this if the list changes in size.

I'm using a formula to lookup names within text and return that name to a separate column if it's found.
The formula is =INDEX($E$1024:$E$1026,MATCH(FALSE,ISERROR(FIND($E$1024:$E$1026,E1010)),0))
I understand index and match functions, but I'm confused regarding the use of FALSE as the lookup value and the iserror(find( usage.

I have search and searched the forums, and maybe am not entering the right info to get an answer, BUT I'm trying to do the following and have no idea where to begin... Workbook2: go to Workbook1, lookup c4:n43 and enter the cell value1 (if any) into I4, Workbook2
THEN
In the row the value1 was found, go to column A, retrieve it's value and return it to D4, Workbook2
THEN
Look at row 1 Workbook1, if the column that value1 was found = Jun-Aug then return 01/2008 to B4, Workbook2.
Of course I need this to go down line by line in Workbook2 to fill in all the info.

I've been given a spreadsheet that is poorly constructed but I'm not allowed to alter.
The layout is:
Box Name Box Date ID1 ID2 ID3 ....
Where there is not a fixed number of IDs in each box
(There are five different sheets so I'll have some fun concatenating results)
Given a list of IDs I need to return the box name and box date that the ID's file sits in. The spreadsheet has blanks everywhere and the numbers contained in rows are non-consecutive and smaller values can appear later in a column than larger ones.
I think I need some combination of index, offset and maybe sumproduct? TBH, I avoid sumproducts like the plague, preferring to utilise sumifs and dynamic named ranges since this improves clarity so I'm basically a newb at them.
Any skeleton framework that you think would work to return the text values for the LHS where the number could be anywhere? Once I can see a rough example I should be able to get to grips with the logic and wrangle it into the necessary solution.

I would like a lookup that takes multiple criteria and that is not an array formula! Unfortunately I decided to use array formulae and my spreadsheet went to over 45mb!! Not good. I've searched the forum for an answer to my questions but couldn't find any! I've attached a spreadsheet as an example. The examples I am using have {Sum(IF)} formulae in it (array) and I would like to change those to others that will not increase the file size so much and will not take too long to calculate.
Basically, I would like a lookup that will return me the Amount Paid and Full Cost based on the person's name and the date. the data and the results table are both on separate sheets. It would be nice to bring that file's size back down to less than 4mb!!

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.

Attached is a very small sample of a workbook that looks at community impact; before, during and after a project.
The source data (not shown) is down loaded from a system that can only supply the date in reverse order (see column A).
i.e. 20080229 = 29-Feb-2008. I've applied a conversion in column "C"....
= DATE(LEFT($A2,4),MID($A2,5,2),RIGHT($A2,2))
The 'properly' formatted date is then used to determine when on the scale of observation that given date falls.
e.g. the number of weeks before, during and after the project.
This is determined by the 18 week date 'matrix/ array' in columns F to X the red box is used to input the project start date, (& assumes the project runs to its normal 6 week time scale, it get REALLY messy if the boss prolongs or cuts short the project!)
From the result various figures and a graph using the properly formatted date are calculated, produced and presented showing....
The scale of the problem {before}
The impact of the project {during}
The lasting efftectivness {after}
You can see that I've managed a 'workaround' for the limit on the number of IF statements allowed in one formula using a rolling formula in columns; B then Z - AQ. This works OK, but!! combine that with the other formulae doing the impact calculations and 20000+ rows of data (with the acssociated workings in B + Z-AQ) the effect is to make make the file over 15Mb for 1!! worksheet, (the limit for emailing on the jobs system is 3Mb!!) & just to really make it scary sometime there are 2 projects on the go at once.
Before I created the attached the user responsible for these graphs and calculations manually counted dates & typed/copied & pasted the week number/tile, initially several days work followed by half a day every weekly update!

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 am trying to pull the closest times above and below and some other data from various worksheets. I've included a sample worksheet that has a dumbed down version of the tables and sheets.
I am having problems pulling the correct times and believe my error is in this part of the bigger formulas (
COLUMN(INDIRECT(portlookup&C5&"HEAD"))-COLUMN(C1),3)+1<=2
which breaks down to
COLUMN(INDIRECT(ABYJANHEAD))-COLUMN(C1),3)+1<=2
I don't think this is accurately telling my formula how to look at the table and pick the right time. I've tried different mod divisors and still can't get it to pull the right time.

I have an excel sheet with multiple columns. In one column I have X's and in another I have a limit. I need to look down the stuff column, find every X, match each X to its corresponding limit and then compare all the limits and return only the smallest limit found. I.e if I was looking down the stuff column I would find 4,6,8,8,3 and thus I would return 3 as my value. I am very new to working with excel formulas,
limit
something
stuff

I read and used the Find_Range custom function provided by Aaron Blood. It's a great function, for which I have many uses, but, as I currently have it set up in conjunction with a userform, it doesn't work fully until I use it twice in a row. The first time it's used to return more than one row, it seems to stop short and only display a few of the appropriate rows. Not until it's used twice in a row does it display all the rows containing that product. What do I need to do to have it work fully each time?
I have a large worksheet from which I want to extract only the rows which contain a certain product, selected by a combobox, and paste the rows on another worksheet. I have a userform set up with an oversized listbox which displays the contents of the data worksheet. Below that I have a 'products' combobox, and a button to initiate the Find_Range. Another oversized listbox displays the results.
Here's the function contained in a module:
Function Find_Range(Find_Item As Variant, _
Search_Range As Range, _
Optional LookIn As XlFindLookIn = xlValues, _
Optional LookAt As XlLookAt = xlPart, _
Optional MatchCase As Boolean = False) As Range
Dim c As Range, FirstAddress As String
With Search_Range
Set c = . Find( _
What:=Find_Item, _
LookIn:=LookIn, _
LookAt:=LookAt, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
MatchCase:=MatchCase, _
SearchFormat:=False) 'Delete this term for XL2000 and earlier
If Not c Is Nothing Then
Set Find_Range = c
FirstAddress = c.Address................................

I have a list of product IDs in one col. In another 2, I have date and vendor that each items was sent. Note that each items can be sent several time to different ven for at different date. From this list I would like to build another list that shows me WHEN & WHERE each item was last sent.
I was able to find a formula to return a list of unique item for my product IDs, but get stuck on the next step.

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.

I am trying to multiply one array of prices for multiple input products across
the volume that that product my go into multiple end products.
I know you can use SUMPRODUCT with two arrays that are equal BUT I want to Multiply the price matrix across 15 or 16 other matrices and sum all the products.
The price matrix and the other arrays are all 1 x "whatever".

I need a formula that links to another workbook where it looks in a column for the oldest date which appears more than 10 times.
So if the oldest date was 01/01/2006 but it only appeared twice, it would ignore it, but if there was then 02/02/06 which appeared 11 times, it qould quote that date in a cell in the workbook

I have a macro that selects various cells whilst it runs - nothing unusual there! What I'd like it to do is return to the activecell immediately prior to running the macro. So if cell 'B34' is active and then the Macro runs it currently returns to cell 'A12' (the last selection in the macro).
I would like it to return to cell, in this instance, 'B34'. The activecell could of course be any reference within the spreadsheet, so whatever is active prior to running macro is returned to when macro is complete.

I'd like to search for a specific value like (1) in an array of cells like (A:A). The result needs to be the average number of a different column (B:B) in the same row as the searched value (1). And the resulting number should be rounded up to the nearest 10.
Example below: (Find value = 1 in A:A) ... 1 is found 4 times.
A | B
1 | 295
3 | 123
1 | 400
5 | 425
1 | 354
1 | 400
In the example above there are 4 (1's) found. By adding all the values in column (B) of the same row, we get 295+400+354+400 = 1449, dividing that in 4, the average is 362.25, rounding that up to the nearest 10... THE RESULT I'M LOOKING FOR IS: 370

I have a list of standard resistor values on a separate tab and I want to grab the closest one (either lower or higher, whichever is closest). If I calculate a number to be 8.9, I want it to grab 9.1 instead of 8.2 (which is what it's doing with VLOOKUP). Is there an easy way to find the minimum distance or something?
