I have a spreadsheet where there are multiple records for each person. Each subsequent record contains information about one year prior to the one above it. So the first records contains info for 2005, the next 2004 and so on. I have the following formula in a cell in sheet 1: VLOOKUP($A2,'Sheet1 (2)'!$A$1:'Sheet1 (2)'!$DD$8796,11,FALSE)
I want to copy the VLOOKUP formula to the cell next to my original cell and have it begin searching on the first row after the first record and continue for each cell to the right. For example, if the lookup in my first cell (say A1) find the result on row 20, I want the lookup formula in B1 to start with row 21. So the change on the formula above would have to change the $A$1 above to $a$row below the first row found. I have a formula which tells me about the first instance of the vlookup finding the first row with the unique identifier.
=VLOOKUP($B$54,'R:OperationsPerformance ReportingSales ReportsFTW North - INT2006Daily7 July7-02-2006[Sales TL Base Report.xls]MAXimize Summary'!$A:$BA,E$3,FALSE)
I would like to make date in the table array (07 July7-02-2006) a variable, but keep getting an #NA with my limited experience. From what I can gather the single quotes are causing the problem?
I'm working on a project in Excel (for a restauraunt) and I basically need to make a formula to work out what an item is, using it's ID number and referencing the certain menu that it is in.
as you can see the table array is defined in cell E3, but i still get a #N/A result, and when I replace the "E3" in the formula with "Deserts" it produces a result.
I have a Vlookup which I want to modify so that it can become dynamic as the table array part of the vlookup will change.
So the basic vlookup is as follows: =VLOOKUP($R$3,ATTRIBUTION_FACTSET!$M$60:$P$73,2,0) but the data I am looking for wont always be in the range M60:P73.
So I tried to make it dynamic by doing the following: =VLOOKUP($R$3,INDIRECT("ATTRIBUTION_FACTSET"&"!M"&U1&":P"&V1),2,FALSE) The idea being that U1 and V1 would be numbers that can change so in this case U1 would equal 60 and V1 would equal 73
This vlookup is giving me #N/A and no matter how I modify it I cannot get it to work.
Basically have a spreadsheet to track an athletic competition going of for the purposes of a fantasy game (like fantasy football). The scores from each event are being copied and pasted into a data pages and then other pages pull from that for calculations. I'm using rankings (rank.eq equation) on a calculation tab, and then using those rankings on a leader-board tab find placement via the VLookup function. The issue I'm running into is ties, when two people are ranked the same. I've been playing with this:
Where it checks for an error in the Vlookup, if its not an error then it does the VLookup, if it is then if looks up the previous ranking and the VLookup array uses Lookup to find the position of the last rank, increments it by one and starts the new Vlookup there.
I have a spreadsheet with 51 worksheets - a "Master" worksheet and 50 datasheets (labelled 1-50). Within the "Master" worksheet the first column has numerical values ranging from 1-50.
One of the columns in the "Master" worksheet is a VLOOKUP that is trying to pull data, of which the table array is dependent upon the value in the first column. For example:
If cell A2 has the number 1 the VLOOKUP would be: =VLOOKUP(E2,'1'!$A:$E,3,0)
If cell A2 had the number 2 the VLOOKUP would be: =VLOOKUP(E2,'2'!$A:$E,3,0)
If cell A2 had the number 3 the VLOOKUP would be: =VLOOKUP(E2,'3'!$A:$E,3,0)
etc.
Tried nesting an INDIRECT function with the VLOOKUP but it didn't work.
The problem is I am trying to get the table Array portion (A:B , C:D , E:F etc.) to auto fill when I drag it across and it will but not correctly. How to autofill with the pattern that I need?
Currently it would auto fill with D:E , F:G, H:I G:H I:J
I am trying to build a udf to replicate a vlookup where the table array is in another file.
The scenario is that very often I use store numbers and want to add the associated name quickly without having to open up the reference file and use a vlookup. So I am looking for something like =storename(number)
I need to make a vlookup which returns values for many 1000 material numbers. The values is located several other files. My problem is that i dont want to update all vlookups every time the other files (with my values) are getting updated.
e.g.
i want to have en cell A1: FileNameVersion1 and when someone updates the file the only thing i have to do is to change the name in cell A1 to FileNameVersion2.
I have a workbook containing 2 sheets. In the first sheet I have a list of values, let's say that the list contains names:
Worksheet1 Column A Peter Paul
In another worksheet I have another column, also containing names:
Worksheet2 Column A James Harrow Paul Givens
I wish to perform a vlookup in worksheet2 but cannot use wildcards in the table array :
Vlookup ("*"&ColumnA&"*";Table1[Table or table and column];1;false). What I want should look like the following: ("*"&ColumnA&"*";"*"&Table1[Table or table and column]&"*";1;false)
In this problem, it is not appropriate to query back to front; i.e. vlookup worksheet1 instead of vlookup in worksheet 2.
I have seen an interesting post that uses macros (on this site, I think) but was not able to implement it.
I'm using a vlookup formula, and the thing I'm searching by is a part number. The problem is that in my table array, all the cells for part numbers have that green error flap in every cell, saying "The number in this cell is formatted as text or preceded by an apostrophe."
Some part numbers have letters on the end of them, ie: 12345N. When I go into a particular cell's error drop down menu and choose "Convert to Number," the vlookup will work with this cell. My problem is that the table array is several thousand rows, and I don't know how to fix them all at once.
I have a table that shows a row of dates, a row of campaigns, and then a row of values I need to reference. I need to pull the values for a specific date and corresponding campaign.
For example, I need to pull the value for campaign 'notset' on 6/16/09.
I tried the following, but it would only work on the first and last campaign: ...
I'm trying to get the vlookup to return the value "2"
Right now, I'm manually entering the tab name in the vlookup function, even though it's contained in cell B1.
The tabs are contained in the same workbook if that matters. Since this workbook is growing rather quickly, this is a painful process and doesn't feel very scalable. Since I'm using a mac, I need to do this with functions vs. macros. Does anybody know how I can reference a cell for the name of a tab in the vlookup function?
I was thinking I could maybe somehow do this with the INDIRECT function but I'm stumped.
I use VLOOKUP a lot and the simple VLOOKUP I am attempting is a very common exercise for me. That doesn't make me an expert just very familiar with it.
I have a worksheet where column A is a 5 digit reference and I use column A as the lookup value. In a worksheet in another spreadsheet I have a load of data but column A is also a 5 digit reference. I am trying to pull cell content from a single column of data from the second worksheet into the first worksheet when there is a match for the 5 digit reference.
The problem is, using the wizard, the lookup value is entered ok but when I come to highlight the range of cells in the second worksheet nothing appears in the table array line in the wizard.
References in both worksheets are numerical and sorted in numerical ascending order. Both spreadsheets have been saved.
However if I copy the worksheet from the second spreadsheet and simply copy it into a new worksheet in the first and then try referencing it as a table array it works just fine.
For such a simple exercise I always use the wizard as it is so much quicker, but I can't figure out why it won't work the way it usually does.
I am doing a postage calculator to calculate postal rates for posting. However, I am facing some problems. In the Main Sheet, Postal rates, I need to do something
1) We are divided into Zones - 1 to 4 Can I do a Variable that if I type Zone 1 and it will Vlookup on Zone 1 sheet and if I type Zone 4, it will Vlookup on Zone 4 sheet
2nd problem is that: The postage needed: When I did a Vlookup, when I key in 55, it will select the wrong price table, if you take a look at the attached spreadsheet, 55g for Zone 4 it came out $2.05 but it should be the following rate which is $2.40.
I am trying to do a vlookup where the values in the Table_Array have a string appended to them. For example:
I want to look up the string "Example1" and the lookup range is Example1 - monthly Example2 - weekly Example3 - weekly Example4 - monthly
So essentially I want vlookup to only look at the string before the hyphen. My initial thought was to do something like this: vlookup("Example1", left(A:A, 8), 1, FALSE)
I'm looking for a formula to search for a value in the SECOND (instead of first) column of a table array and return a value in the same row from FIRST (instead of the same or another) column in the table array. Formula would be searching for the unique production order number in the column B and return production line id from the column A.
A1 production line_id B1 poduction_order_number
A2 L1 A3 L2 A4 L1
B2 505212 B3 504234 B4 505663
I was trying vlookup(504234;B2:A4;2;0) to make formula go search from right columns to the left but then excel is switching the search table to A2:B4 and gives #N/D! One remark-there is no possibility to switch these 2 columns to simplify. I have to leave them as they are.
I'm trying to copy a vlookup to an entire column, I want to look up a value in the cell to the left and compare it to a given table; but when I copy it down it up dates the cell value, but it moves the table down by one row at every row so it's not finding most of the values the further down I go.... what am I doing wrong. I doubt I'd have to re write the formulas in all the 2500 cells I need to look up.
I would like to have vlookup formua. And I would like the sheet for the table array section be linked to a cell value. So in my workbook this is my vlookup formula:
=VLOOKUP(B2,sheet1!B2:C8,2,FALSE)
I would like to to be something like =VLOOKUP(B2,(=b3)!B2:C8,2,FALSE). This way I can change the value in B3 and the vlookup formula will look for values in a different sheet as opposed to the one I originally designated in the formula.
What I want is that I have a table like below (but it's long for 52 weeks) and long down with Vlookups. I want the formula with which I can just do the copy-paste and it will work. W1, W2.... are the sheet names with exactly the same formats inside.
A B C D E
5
W1 W2 W3 W4
6 Sales 10 #N/D!
[Code] .......
The base formula (for W1) is: =Vlookup($a6;'W1'!$A:$B;2;0)
What I want, is the formula which instead of "W1" will write the sheet name which is in a row 5 (basically - cell name which is equal the sheet name), so with just dragging and moving the formula I will got the data from different sheets.
I tried this: =Vlookup(A6;'indirect("c5";1)'!$A:$B;2;0)
But I got #N/D! as in the example, instead of the numbers (yes, I put numbers into W1 and W2 sheets .
In my VBA macro, it copies data from this.workbook, and paste to another "destination" workbook. That destination workbook must be opened first before the macro is run.
Within the Macro code, I had to specify the exact name of the workbook which the data is pasted to.
The problem is that the exact name of that workbook which it paste to changes every week.
Is there any method where my macro can be changed and updated with the name of the destination workbook each week without manually opening and editing the code. The user of this.workbook is not technical enough to edit and maintain the macro each week
I am creating a tracking spreadsheet where i can toggle between months (attached). It returns data properly when I select January or February from the yellow highlighted dropdown list. However, when i choose March, it returns 1/0/1900 because no data has been entered for March (table array) on the AAAG tab. How do I write the formula to return a blank cell on the summary sheet when no information has been entered into the table array yet?
I'm only starting to get to grips with arrays. I have what I consider to be a lot of data that I need to 'cut' into separate workbooks. I have written some code that does this by simply looping through each line, 250k+, checking against a variable and copying the row into a separate sheet. This took longer than it would have doing it manually. It was suggested to me that I use arrays to speed up the process. I have managed to store the test data into an array but am struggling to find a way to loop through and pull out an entire 'row' from the array based on a variable. I have looked for 2 days in various places to find some way to loop through the data held in the array, but to no avail.
That code will appear here from about 8am GMT tomorrow. I know that once I've cracked this I'm on the road to some very significant time saving and comprehensive report writing.
I've run into an issue for which I can find no elegant solution. I consider myself a competent Excel user, so it's pretty embarassing...
What I want to do is to sum the values along the 'axes' of the table. In order to fully explain that, I'll give a small example: Let's say, this is my source data
