I am having some trouble getting a formula to work. I am building a report that pulls figures from a pivot table in another workbook. I am using a vlookup with match function to get the column index to find the relevant data I want. Where I need to add two columns together I am using sum, with the vlookup & match formulas nested in them e.g.:
=SUM(VLOOKUP(F13,'[PIVOT 156.xlsx]PIVOT'!$C:$AQ,MATCH("FAID",'[PIVOT 156.xlsx]PIVOT'!$C$6:$AQ$6,0),FALSE),VLOOKUP(F13,'[PIVOT 156.xlsx]PIVOT'!$C:$AQ,MATCH("COMM",'[PIVOT 156.xlsx]PIVOT'!$C$6:$AQ$6,0),FALSE),VLOOKUP(F13,'[PIVOT 156.xlsx]PIVOT'!$C:$AQ,MATCH("BPCM",'[PIVOT 156.xlsx]PIVOT'!$C$6:$AQ$6,0),FALSE),VLOOKUP(F13,'[PIVOT 156.xlsx]PIVOT'!$C:$AQ,MATCH("COMD",'[PIVOT 156.xlsx]PIVOT'!$C$6:$AQ$6,0),FALSE))
Where:
F13 = Employee number
Column C on the pivot 156 workbook is where the employee number is based.
The Match formula is then getting the column index from the column headings of the pivot table ie. "FAID"
This in itself works fine, as long as it finds a match in the column headings. This is where i get the error as in the above function "COMD" is not in the pivot table. However I need to keep it included as it may appear on a future pivot table. Is there a way of getting the sum function to complete even though later in the formula it can't complete the vlookup? So it will ignore it, or assume the value is zero if it can't find it? The formula probably needs to do this for all the vlookups as some headings may drop off in future pivot tables.

I have a column of values (text) to choose from. I need to randomly assign them to names.
There are more values then names.
Each name has to have a value.
Each value has to be used only one time.
Not every value has to be used.
Column B contains names, column Q contains values.
Now. So far I've come up with below:
Code:
Sub randomize()
Dim Random As Integer[code].....
"Random" returns exactly the amount of values in column Q, so this works ok.
"i" counts iterations correctly, meaning as many times as names in column B.
I tried useing Match to rule out already used value but this code returns "unable to get Match property of the WorksheetFunction class" error.

I have a spreadsheet in which I use a match function to find the row a name is on. The name may be listed several times and the name has a comma in it, for example, "Tom, George". I got it to work once, but it doesn't always work. Is it because of the comma or because it is in the lookup several times? It's my understanding the Excel will return the row number for the first time it sees the name in the list, which is what I want.

I've been using a Index and Match Functions to locate values,
What I'm trying to do is as follows:
Column A contains x values and Column B contains another value
A length is entered at the top of the worksheet, when the x value is greater than half the length the values will be mirrored about the centre point.
To do this i'm doing x-(length/2) to give the corresponding value of x on the other side of the length
I can do the If functions etc to sort all this out, but the match function isnt working, see attached, it isn't finding values which are in the list, when i use 0 for exact match, i've tried using 1 but it still isn't finding the correct values.

I'm surprised and confused as to why =Match("",A1:A300,0) doesn't find blank cells in the "who does what" worksheet of the attached file.

I am new to VBA and am having difficulties in getting a find function to successfully locate search criteria within cell. When the search criteria matches exactly that of the cell contents then the code works; however should the search criteria only form part of the total cell contents (such as a seach for "the" in a cell containing "the cat sat on the mat") the code doesn't recognise it.
Essentially, I need the code to search a range for the required string and if found within a cell activate that cell and populate a combobox with the full cell contents of the activecell.offset(0,-2).
The relevant section of code attached below:
Dim role_count as range
Dim role as string
If Application.WorksheetFunction.CountIf(Range("Role_Count"), Role) 0 Then
Range("role_count").Select
Selection.Find(What:=Role, After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt:= _
xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:=False _
, SearchFormat:=False).Activate
Me.Controls(ComboBoxName) = ActiveCell.Offset(0, -2).Value

I am trying to match data from 2 independent sets, formatted slightly differently so not sure which function would work best for me. From the attached file, I am trying to match the date and time stamp (in cell A1) with that from the other data (in this example in cell E1) and return the data (from cell F1) to cell C1. So basically any date and time stamp before 04/03/09 04:00 will return a value of 44 (this value should appear, therefore in cells C1 - C30)

Basically where the columns say 2011 or 2012 AND 1, 2, 3. I want to be able to have it index the number below based on the GL number on the left and both the year and period on the top. I think that you can do with using the sumproduct function with the binary, but the computer is a little dated and it takes a while to run those calculations.

let me start by saying that I know an example workbook would be useful here, but the part I'm struggling with is the [managementroster.xlsm] file, and there is A. no way I can release it to the internets and B. its so huge/complicated I couldn't even begin to reproduce a portion of it, scrubbed of data, and hope to maintain its functionality in a meaningful manner.
[Code]....
This formula checks a staff number on this spreadsheet, and then goes and looks at the staff number on the roster. Once found, it returns that staff members roster, but changes any manager codes in the MRC list to Mgr, and changes all other roster codes to Free.
I now need this formula, before altering roster codes to Mgr or Free, to only return codes that are a match for another table (or after really. I don't particularly care, so long as only codes are shown that match data from another table). I think an index/match function would do the trick, but this forumula is already at the edge of my excel ability, nesting another function within it is completey beyond me. The relevant cells for the index/match function would be:
This first Match function targets the column. $E3 is the date required, $BA$1:$DN$1 is the range the dates are entered in
Match: Lookup value = $E3
Lookup array = '[ManagementRoster.xlsm]Vacancies!'$BA$1:$DN$1
match type = 0
This second Match function targets the row. $A$4 is the department name, $B$434:$B$452 is the range where all departments are entered
Match: Lookup value = $A$4
Lookup Array = '[ManagementRoster.xlsm]Vacancies!'$B$434:$B$452
match type = 0
Index: array = $BA$434:$DN$452
So I think my final function is
[Code] .....
But I have absolutely NO idea where it would fit within my first formula, or how to code it so that my original formula only reproduces results that are found in both sheets, or anything.

I'm using the below VBA
Dim c, DataRow
With Data
Set c = . Range("A5:A350"). Find(KPI, LookIn:=xlValues)
If Not c Is Nothing Then
DataRow = c.Row
End If
End With
Now,If KPI is for example = "Favourite Hotel" and if i have data that looks like :
Favourite Hotel - London
Favourite Hotel - Cardiff
Favourite Hotel
Favourite Hotel - Birmingham
Then it seems to not look be looking for an exact match (e.g. Favourite Hotel) and rather is finding the first item in the list that contains the KPI string (E.g. Favourite Hotel - London).
How do i make it search for an exact match?

I have a range of cells, for this example I will use 2.
Cell E17 = 77/170
Cell E18 = 8/9
Using the following formula: =SUM(RIGHT(E17,FIND("/",E17)))+SUM(RIGHT(E18,FIND("/",E18)))
This bring back an #VALUE! Error as the second part of the formula keeps picking up "/9" however the first part works fine, displaying "170"
Now if I use:
=SUM(RIGHT(E17,FIND("/",E17)))+SUM(RIGHT(E18,FIND("/",E18)-1))
It all works. The problem is that I need this to be automatic using the above way means having to add a "-1" to every formula for a cell with only 1 char to be added.
Using the formula:
=SUM(RIGHT(E17,FIND("/",E17)-1))+SUM(RIGHT(E18,FIND("/",E18)-1)).....

I'm using the match function to tell me in which column the first positive/non-zero number appears. However, the formula is returning the # of columns in the range. Here is what I'm using:
=MATCH(1,H6:CA6,TRUE)
I'm getting 72 back as a result, which is the number of columns between column H and CA.
Any ideas why this is the case?

I have the below code sent in by a MR Excel forum user
Public Function BigMatch(rngIndexColumn As Range, varMatchValue As Variant, rngMatchRange As Range) As Variant
Dim lngCol As Long
Dim rngCell As Range
lngCol = rngIndexColumn.Column
For Each rngCell In rngMatchRange
If rngCell.Value = varMatchValue Then
BigMatch = Cells(rngCell.Row, lngCol).Value
End If
Next rngCell
End Function
when using the BigMatch Function = BigMatch(any cell in the column you want to pull from, the value you want to match, where you want to find that value)
I am using 2 different sheets, Technology & Lessons learnt: when I try the BigMatch Function
=BigMatch(Technology!C17,'Lessons Learnt'!A46,Technology!W17:AD27)
Instead of returning 'Technology'!C17 its returning the value from Lessons Learnt C17,

I have a very long function I created. But I need to edit it in a matter I have never done before.
Below is my function and i will like to add a new condition to it.
IF the text value in cell C7 is equal to any text value in Workbook2 B10:K10 and the value underneath that cell (I.e if B10 then B11 etc..) is Deleted then I want to have one of the conditions of my function below display "Deleted".

Using the address function to find the exact cell of a unique string text.
I'm using the following command to find the address of a string i have in a different cell.
=ADDRESS(MATCH("*$H$1*",A:A,0),1)
The string text is in cell H1, H2, H3.......(or on another sheet). The goal is to find the address of a cell containing the unique string text from cell H1, H2, H3.....(that entire column) in a sheet with 13,000 lines. Basically, searching for a specific cell address of a string text referenced from another cell.

I'm trying to create a formula that would return the value of the column next to it. Looking at the below example, in a new cell I would want to be able to return the value 7 based on the fact that it is in category b.
I would think an if/offset/match function would do this but I can't seem to figure it out as it may require nesting.

I have one column full of duplicate names, column A. I have another 2 columns's E & F which contain the unique number and corresponding name to that number. I want to create a formula which i can put in column B which will match every name in A to the name in F but will enter the value as the unique number.
ie
A1 will contain Joe. E1 = 1 F1 =Joe. When I enter the formula in B1 it will show as 1. How would I write this as a formula?

I've been working on a payroll program for my small biz. I'm close to done BUT...When I use the Index Match function in a cell it works great. However I need to copy it down a column to work for pay periods going forward. When I copy it down of course it puts zeros or N/A.
Columns:
Gross Fed FICA Medicare State Net
F G H I J K
Gross is user input. FICA Medicare State and Net are simply calculated on the sheet. But to get Fed Income tax I use the Index Match function and it works perfectly. The rows increment properly with each new user input.
My question: Fed Income tax is dependent on what the Gross is in order to look up the tables with the Index Match function. How do I get the result of the function into column G? Can I increment up Column G and ignore the zeros that dragging the function down G creates?

I have a variable called LU which I am trying to use to do a match function in a macro.
OwnerOldRow = Application.WorksheetFunction.Match("C" & LU, "Owners1!$A2:$A65")
What I am hoping to do is find the row associated with column C and row value from LU. I have a stop on the line and LU is properly valued but it won't do the match. Is my syntax wrong. I am leaving the match type blank as it defaults to 1 which is the value I want anyway.

I have column A with 1000 cells tall with a bunch of random whole numbers from 1-100. In cell B1 I enter the formula:
=MATCH(25,A1:A1000,0)
This goes through the data and outputs the location of the first instance of "25". However my data has 8 instances of "25", and I want to know all of them. So basically in B2, B3, B4, ... I want to enter:
=MATCHsecond(25,A1:A1000,0)
=MATCHthird(25,A1:A1000,0)
=MATCHfourth(25,A1:A1000,0)
...
Obviously MATCHsecond isn't a real function, but that should explain what I'm looking for.
