Match Formula Using Static Column Heading Which Could Appear In Random Columns
Aug 5, 2013
I have one worksheet which comes out of an online application (for the purposes of this example I will call it "Online Sheet"). The column headings in this sheets are always named the same but could theoretically appear in any column address. For example, the column header "Completed" could appear in column "X", or "AT", or "ZZ".
On a second sheet (called "Code Sheet") I have to unscramble all of this data into a standardize layout. Each row value has a unique ID which appears on both the "Code Sheet" and the "Online Sheet". However, in the "online sheet" the unique ID could also appear in any column. Like the "Completed" column this column also has a unique column heading ("Unique ID").
Using Match I can calculate the column number in which the "Completed" column appears in this instance of the online data. For example, "Completed" = Column "25". However, I now need to use some lookup function on this column based on the row in which my "Unique ID" appears of the "Online Sheet" (which could of course be in any column in the "Online Sheet").
For example, if "Completed" is in column "25" and the "Unique ID" which I am referencing on the "Code Sheet" appears on row 14 in the "Online Sheet", then the lookup formula must return the value of column 25 row 14 on my "Code Sheet".
I have two data points a Talk Time Value lets say 2:08 and the number of calls lets say 10 and need to pull the column heading value for the number of agents needed lets say 2. My "Grid" is saved in one sheet and the my variable data values are in another. I need to somehow pull the closet match of my talk time value 2:08 and the calls value 10 to match up on my grid and give me the Column Heading which is the number of agents. Which in this example would be 2 agents. Just for reference in my other sheet I have my Talk time Value in C3 and my Call number value in D3. I tried various Index and Match formulas but have not got the one that I need to work the closet I have is =INDEX(Sheet2'B1:D1,MATCH(D3,INDEX(Sheet2'B2:D7,MATCH(C3,'Sheet2'A2:A7,1),0))).
example: in Sheet 2 ColA Col B Col C Col D Sheet 1 C3= 2:08 D3=10 Row 1 1 2 3 Row 2 1:00 0 3 4 Row 3 1:15 1 5 6 Row 4 1:30 2 7 8 Row 5 1:45 3 9 10 Row 6 2:00 4 10 11 Row 7 2:15 5 12 13
I need to work with the run times for some equipment. This is just hours and minutes and I get the raw data as like "Pump # 1 - 35:30". This is not date/time data per se, just a raw number of hours. I thought I would format the cells as hh:mm and for 15:00 I would just enter 15 to save time. No go, that becomes 1/15/00 00:00 and displays as 00:00. I discovered that if I just leave the formatting as general and enter 15:00 it works fine and displays right but the formula bar says 3:00 PM (Excel figured to format it hh:mm). When I enter 30:00 it again seems fine but the formula bar says Excel stores it as 1/1/00 6:00:00 AM (Excel figured to format it [h]:mm:ss but I deleted the seconds).
I can just set the formatting as [h]:mm to be consistent and enter the full 15:00 but I guess that after working that out I am just curious - can Excel store hours:minutes as just hours:minutes without turning it into a meaningless date? And without converting it to a decimal number? I don't want to total 1:30 + 1:45 = 3.25; I want the total to be 3:15. Again, it appears that [h]:mm will do what I need but it just seems unelegant to me that it is stored as some weird date and I wonder if it will cause a problem at any point.
I was going through "To do list with progress tracker" template in Excel 2013. I noticed when i scroll down the page the heading column (A,B,C,D,E,F,G etc.) automatically matches with the inserted table headings.
I am doing a lookup, populating a column (which works although slowly) then (in this part) doing a search on the header row.. If the heading contains the word "Category", I wish to insert a blank column next to (the column containing the heading), colour it yellow then look for the next heading and repeat if found.
It appears to clear my first row so I must have my columns referred incorrectly as rows
Dim FWord As String Dim i As Integer Dim lCol As Long Dim MyString As String . . FWord = "Category" lCol = Range("A1").End(xlToRight).Column For i = 1 To lCol Cells(1, i).Value = MyString '
I am using =randbetween(1,100). however everytime i enter a new number elsewhere on the sheet, a new ndom number is made. Could you make a button (or something) that, when pressed, creates a random number in a certain cell?
I am currently working on sheet that i need to have print out user names and random passwords for as many people that entered on the sheet to a text file for email. I am running into a few issues.
1. When i try to print to a .txt file of the text from column G on sheet 'Review and Generate', all the text appears on one line. I have been trying to use the Char(10) to create line spaces, but that has not worked out for me. How do i get excel to export text from a cell to a .txt file with correct line spaces?
2. I have a random password function running on column F, however i am trying to get it only produce one result and not keep calculating random values. How do i have the cell calculate only once?
What im trying to do is match columns A & B from AUDIT Sheet to Columns A & B in MASTER sheet. If they match then pull columns C, D & E from MASTER into AUDIT.
I am copying various rows from one spreadsheet to another (sheet3) and would like to total one of the columns. The trouble is that since I don't know how many rows there will be I am having trouble inserting a formula that will work. I am sure that there must be a simple solution but I can't seem to find it.
Referring to the post Find Min Value In Multiple Columns And Match The Header. I would like to go little bit further and see is there a way to find and match not just in multiple columns but in multiple tables (see the example)
I attached a file containing two sheets. The first sheet is called Input on this sheet there are several categories of which I displayed the first three on. My ultimate goal is to get the Input per category broken down horizontally over the line-items on the Output sheet. Every category contains several line items to which costs are attached (f.e. in category 10, line item 4000, the costs are 33,000$ and so on).
The problem is that every month the costs are changing per line-item, but also the number of line items per category will change due to the fact that the line-items are only displayed if there are in a specific month costs booked to the line-item. In other words sometimes line-items are added due to costs booked at the line-item, but if in one month there are no costs booked at the line-item it disappears from the overview. A formula containing: '=if(category=10,vlookup(... is to static due to the changing line-items.
I am trying to do an INDEX/MATCH to return a value based on multiple lookup_values.
The workbook is attached, and what I am trying to accomplish is this:
If 50, 75, or 90 are selected from Column D drop down of this (Main) worksheet, then return Column A, B, and C values for those rows to the Report worksheet.
So in my sample spreadsheet, John, Jim, and Jack's information should be returned on the Report worksheet because their Column D shows 50, 75, and 90. Alice, Wanda, and Cindy's information should not be returned on the Report worksheet because their column D shows Budget Only, Contacting, and 100.
My current INDEX/MATCH formula is =INDEX(Main!$C2,MATCH(50,Main!$D2),0), but this only works when column D has 50 chosen because I have only asked MATCH to return info if it finds something with 50 because I do not know how to ask it to search for multiple lookup_values.
So, as you will see, only John's information is returned on the report worksheet, but Jim and Jack's are not.
I am trying to find a formula that will sum the values of two columns with the same heading (in my case the heading is "GST"). Every month this info changes, so the GST may not be in the same column all the time. I have around 1000 rows I need to sum. Example data below:
Amount GST Amount Total Card Fee GST Card Fee Total
[Code]...
Is there a formula when I can sum two columns based on the column NAME?
In a gradebook spreadsheet, there is code to add new columns to right of existing columns. Each new column should be included or appended to a particular Named Ranges--named with the same name as the column's heading. Here is existing
Sub mcrNotes()
' This adds a column for student notes, such as daily progress notes. ' The heading for the notes column is "Notes" ' The pre-formatted columns are being copied from a sheet named "Fields". ' The columns are inserted into a sheet named "Grades".after the last data column. Sheets("Fields").Select Dim Ndate As Range Set Ndate = ActiveSheet.Range("E11") Ndate.Value = Date Columns("E:E").Select Selection.Copy Sheets("Grades").Select lastcolumn = ActiveSheet.Cells. Find(what:="*", SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Column.......
Is there any formula out there that will loop through columns and automatically define name ranges. I need some code that will automatically assign Names to the first row of the individual columns and then automatically define the range ie with an offset command.
I need column F to be matched to column E, i want to see how many user id's from column F are in column E and for them to be highlighted in column E. note that the user id's might reflect more than once in column E. See attached..
I have a 2 groups of column headings with a different month and year in each heading so
1st Group of columns range Columns AJ through AX Column Heading example "Expense Ratio February 2013......next Column over is "Expense Ratio March 2013"
2nd Group of columns range AY though CE Column Heading example "Capital Balance February 2013......next Column over is "Capital Balance March 2013"
Each new month I need to add a new Expense Ratio column after the most recent expense ratio Column. (i.e. Find "Expense Ratio March 2013" and I need to add a column after that with heading "Expense Ratio April 2013"
Same thing for Capital Balance - add a new Capital Balance column after the most recent Capital Balance Column. (i.e. Find "Capital Balance March 2013" and I need to add a column after that for "Expense Ratio April 2013"
Because the ranges keep changing month over month, how do i do this.
The yellow highlighted column F (each Reason) in the sheet2 to be placed as main header in the next column and so on as seen in the sheet 3
If they have two similar item number with 2 different reasons - delete the duplicate item number and place the number in each column according to its reason as seen on row 16 on the sheet3
If they have two number with similar reason - just sum up the number
I have an excel spread sheet with several rows of 265 (9A-IV) columns each with a heading. I would like to transpose the worksheet columns so that the heading is placed in Column A against the corresponding that is placed in column B. For example
I recently found on this site the macro to auto insert a static date in one column when an entry was made in the previous column.
What I have in my spreadsheet and what I would like to be able to do is if I select a particular Order Status from a drop down list, that it auto inserts the date into the respective columns.
Column F contains the various Order Status indicators ie Order Submitted, PO Raised, Delivered, and Invoice Received. The date columns that I would like populated and which correspond to those status indicators (in order) are Column G, Column I, Column L, and Column K. So if I pick Order Submitted, the status date should be auto populated in Column G. If I pick PO Raised, the status date should be auto populated in Column I etc.
I must match column A and column B to return the column C In colA there are all my countries In column B there are all my countries code and countries I want get the colC where all my colB match than colA.
I have a file with multiple column headers and data entries (dropdowns) into the rows. I wanted to create a secondary sheet...like a pivot table..if the vertical and the horizontal are both in the two columns selected it returns a value in the table.
I would use a pivot table, but it is a data entry sheet and the pivot table does not bring up all the horizontal and vertical values unless they have already been selected in the sheet.
How to get the Column Alphabet based on the Data it contains or the Column Heading using VBA?
Is it possible to get the Column Alphabet using any Macro or any function that within a Module it can always take the New Column Name during Execution..
Example: I have certain Columns where I have Yes and No Tick using the Wingdings P and Y.. Now these Columns are alternately Placed and there are six columns in all and they are spread over 12 Columns as the Alternate COlumns is reserved for Manual Entries.
Now I intend to increase the Manual Entry Columns but the problem is that every time I do that I need to make changes in my VBA Code.
Is it possible that even when the Columns are Inserted or Deleted in between before or after these columns I dont need to change the Explicit references by changing some approach.
I am not fuly conversant in VBA but use it whenever things are not completely feasible with Formulas AFTER GOOGLING.
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean) If Not Intersect(Target, Range("X3:X13")) Is Nothing Then ' You can Change the range here Cancel = True
[Code]....
As you can see the Ranges are Alternately Placed and there are about 6 such Columns with the above TICKS..
Now, how do I keep it FLoating so that even after changing the COlumn Location it does not need to get Updated i.e. X and Z Column Alphabets..
I want to bring some scattered rows in data range directly underneath the appropriate columns
Here is the description of manual way of doing the same task.
1. first, I check for last empty rows in column "M" i.e for country(By pressing CTRL + Down arrow key in column "M") and then i look into the immediate next empty rows where is the date values, usually i found it into next rows but in a different columns. so i copy the range one cell before from date values till last columns in that same row and i bring it back to the original row where it should be indeed.
For example after pressing CTRL+down arrow key in columns "M", If i see date values In next immediate rows "E7". I copied from "C7" or "B7" (one cell before date value cell) ,depending on In which cell the date value is sitting till last columns i.e "N7" and paste it manually to "D6". and I do repeat the same work manually till i aligned all rows to their proper place.
I need a formula to run down a column DCapture.JPG (starting at 142), when it finds the last entered value it needs to display the corresponding value from column J into cell AA21.
If you see the attached photo, the last entered data in column D would be 1, AA21 would be saying -30 (J205)
I have 2 sheets with thousands of clients. One has client contact information and one revenue. I was able to put the 4 columns on 1 sheet. I need a formula that will say if the value of the client name columns match, (Client name) then return the value in the third column (revenue).
One other question, b/c i copied from a pivot table, i have the client name and their email address below in a separate row. Ideally i would have the client their contact and their revenue in 3 columns next to each other. Is there an easy way to bulk move the email address from the row below the column to the column next to the client name?
