Match Multiple Columns To Lookup Value
Feb 20, 2008
I'm using an index array formula I learned here to lookup a value between 2 sheets in a workbook. I have had no trouble using it when matching just 2 pieces of information (first & last name), but now I need to make 3+ matches to get the value & the formula is no longer working.
When I check "show calculation steps" in the attached example, I can actually see that all 4 items have successfully matched across the 2 sheets but for some reason the formula is still not pulling in the desired value. Am I wrong to think that I can match more than 2 items w/ this kind of a formula?

I have data like this:
Code:
500a
TRUE470b
440c
TRUE410d
TRUE380e
350f
[Code]...
and I want to look up an approximate value in Col2, say 310, and return it's next-highest friend from Col3, in this case "g". This is easy enough with INDEX and MATCH. But I want to take it one step further and only use those values which are approved by Col1 - so in this case I want 310 to ACTUALLY return "e"
I found some good information here which gets me close. The following works very well. It uses a boolean & operator to match two values at once, but it only works for exact matches. This example goes down the list and finds the first "sydney" which has an "x" and gives the result "h".
Code:
xmelbournea
sydneyb
xadelaidec
xmelbourned
sydneye
[Code]....
When I use this approach on data like in my first example it falls over, my guess is because the boolean & falls down before the MATCH function has a chance to accept an approximate match.

I have a table of data (say Column1 to Column 5) with multiple rows.
Column 1 to 4 will have the lookup values in multiple rows and Column 5 data should be picked up using vlookup or other lookup function.
I managed to somehow bring all these lookup values in (Column 1 to 4) in a single column in another sheet. I am now trying to use some lookup or other functions to match this single column and pick column 5 data in original sheet. Result i am expecting is lookup value in first column and next to it column 5 value.
It is basically a lookup wherein lookup value is spread over multiple rows and columns and result column is fixed. I tried using vlookup, but lookup value column and column number had to change every time when i moved from column1 to 4.

how does the formula change when i want a new column to "bring in" ( lookup?) a corresponding value from the second sheet when it sees that the names match?
For instance:
sheet1
FIRST LAST HEIGHT1
John Smith 5'9
sheet2
FIRST LAST HEIGHT2
John Smith 5'11
So, the conditional format would be a 4th column in the first sheet-- still comparing the first & last names-- but when they match it enters "HEIGHT2" into this 4th column.
This is still a conditional format, right? sorry if it doesn't belong here

i did find a thread concerning my question but the topic was closed & the OPs best answer had been edited & removed for some reason...
i'm comparing annual pro sports stats for a project & want to do a vlookup contingent on pairs of columns matching between two sheets. ie if a first AND last name in one sheet match a first and last name in a second sheet then fill in x statistic. i dont know VB or anything, but i assume this can be done w/ a pretty simple formula
attached small example

I'm working on budgets (salaries). I have one main spreadsheet with all employee names listed - other spreadsheets are for each department. I need to bring the total salary from the department spreadsheets and would like to do this by looking up (or matching?) the names in the column from the main sheet to the department sheets and then putting the salary from the department spreadsheet to the main spreadsheet. In addition, I have several that have their salary split between two or more departments. On my department spreadsheet I have a column labeled % of salary for this department. On the main spreadsheet, I want to figure out a formula that will sum the percentages for a certain person (so I make sure I don't go over 100%).
For example - Joe Smith's name is on the main employee spreadsheet. He is also listed on 3 other department spreadsheets, with % of salary listed as 30% for department 1, 30% for department 2, and 40% for department 3. On the main spreadsheet I need to add up Joe's percentages from the department spreadsheets.

I want to search (sheet2 column A and B )for a match of (cell A2 and B1 of sheet2) and return value into sheet2 cell B2 Completed and if not found Outstanding
sheet1
A john
B Week 1
sheet2
A2 john
B1 Week 1
sheet2
B2 Completed
Here is a formula I had been using in a google spreadsheet but does not work in excel
=Iferror(If(Filter('DATABASE'!$C:$D;'DATABASE'!$C:$C=SPREADSHEET!$A2;'DATABASE'!$D:$D=SPREADSHEET!G$1)>1;"Completed";"Outstanding");"Outstanding")

Please see the attached example of my problem. I have TIME in column A in minutes and % in Column B. What I would like to do is search the % column against the value inputed into E2 (in the example 52%) and find the corresponding TIME value (Col A). However, where there is no exact match of the E2 value I would like to select the next greater value. For example as there is no 55% in my example the formula would move on to 57.27% and record 21 in D2.

I have 2 reports with the same column headings. I want Excel to compare each one on the common OrderID and then just show me the ones that don't match--either one invoice can't be found on the other, or in the cases where they are found, the invoice amounts do not match (IOW create an exception report).

I am trying to do a (what I thought was a) simple lookup involving 2 columns.
Pls see attached example. I am trying to find the "?" values, by matching column A&B of the input to the Data columns and returning the $$$ column.
I thought this wouldve been a piece of cake but its got me stumped!

I am building a timeclock, and am using a user form to allow people to sign in/out.
I have a punch in form that logs the inputed username and password (after being checked against my employee list), along with a count of their username on this sheet (as a count of how many times they have punched in) and a timestamp (column 4). These values are all pasted to the first blank row in my worksheet "PunchInTimes".
Then, I have a punch out button that logs these same values the same way, only on "PunchOutTimes". Then, the idea is to link the index number of the PunchOutTimes record and PunchInTimes record for any given user, so that when they punch out, a complete record is pasted (to the first blank row) in a separate worksheet called "Timesheets".
I have been able to paste the username and count to the "Timesheets" sheet, however as soon as I try to index/match the count and inputed username (on the punch out form), I get an error 13 type mismatch.
I'm trying to paste the corresponding punch in time to this punch out time, so ive used an index/match with two columns (username and count) found in "PunchInTimes", and try to return the corresponding 4th column value (punch in time). After pasting the "punch out only" values to the PunchOutTimes, i used a "With/End With" statement, and set wsc equal to my 'timesheets' worksheet at the beginning of my code. So the line where I get my error is below in bold:

I am trying to create a formula that will lookup multiple criteria within a table, one of those criteria being a date that falls within a certain date range. The purpose of the data is for billing tenants and owners in a building. I have successfully been able to use Index Match to lookup 2 criteria, one of them being a specific date match (see my attachment). However, I need to add a third criteria looks up the date that falls between a specific date range. The concept is to run a query where I enter a Unit (apartment) number into one cell, a Billing Date into another cell and the Type (Owner or Tenant) into a third cell to determine the Name of the person who fits these criteria... Criteria A Lives in Apt XX, Criteria B Who's lease start date and end date is inclusive of the Billing Date that I entered and Criteria C who matches the Type of customer, either Owner or Tenant.

I'm trying to create a formula that will lookup multiple criteria within a table, however the problem I am having is that one of the criteria needs to fall within a certain a date range. I've used index & match to look up the dates when they match exactly, but how to return the same value for when they fall within a date.
I have attached the spreadsheet - Date Range.xlsx! The requirement is to get the correct "pay" from the "Contingent Workers" sheet to the Timesheet sheet. So it will match the Employee ID, but also the date on the Timesheet tab will fall between/or be the exact date indicated on the contingent workers tab.

Certification and Training tracking.xlsx
I want to create a certification only list on a separate tab of training that has been completed where a certification has been issued (as indicated by a "Y" in the "Certification?" column on the training tracking tab) and then populate from some of the fields vs. all of the fields.
What I have now, only pulls the first occurence, not all occurences. I saw that I could have identified the multiple columns that needed to be populated, but it didn't work either, so I'm fine putting a separate vlookup in each column.

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.

determining the correct formula to lookup various details from multiple worksheet:
Data as follows:
Sheet1: input
AB1MonthSales2AUG55003MAY4000
Sheet2: Data
AB1MonthSales2JAN20003FEB25004MAR30005APR35006MAY40007JUN45008JUL50009AUG550010SEP600011OCT650012NOV700013DEC7500
b2,b3 Formula = Indirect(Address(match(a2,????,0),1,1,1,"Data"))
i dont know what is the correct range inside the match fuction to identiy the row number inside the Data sheet, i think the solution would be match(a2,Data!a2:a13,0) but things might get complicated if you have multiple worksheet such as sheet2: Data , sheet3: Data2, sheet3: Data 3
and each table has unsorted details compared to others sheets (Data vs Data 2)

I have been already fighting for about a week with this problem. I attached the Excel-file. I have three input data and as output I want to get also three different data. For Vendor I use the VLOOKUP function. For agreement# I have used (not in this file) CONCATENATE by adding an extra column to the data table and then use VLOOKUP.
The actual problem is to find the price because it is based on the three input data. I can't seem to find a function for it. I've tried INDEX, MATCH, IF, nested them for as far as my knowledge reaches.
The problem lies for as far as I know in the del.date cell. For example, input date is:
Client#:912345, Product:E569831, del.date: 16.7. (July 16th). This input date should return cell G12.

I am trying to create a formula that will look in 3 columns containing 300 rows, and give an answer if the criteria in all 3 columns is met on a single row.
example: A B C
1 Blue Bag 60
2 Red Bag 100
3 Blue Bag 60
I want to check ALL the rows in the 3 columns that satisfy the criteria "Blue" and "Bag" and "60" and count how many times this occurs. I have tried COUNTIF but with no success, unless I am doing it wrong.

I am trying to use the formula below
=INDEX($M$4:$AG$75,MATCH($D$3,$K$4:$K$75,0),MATCH(A6,$L$4:$AG$75,0))
The last MATCH function is where it fails, because the value I am looking at (A6) could be in one of 5 different columns between L and AG

3.3.3.6
3.3.3.1
Sheet 1 has 7 columns(system,ip1,ip2,ip3,ip4,ip5,ip6 and ip7)
Sheet 2 has 2 columns (ip,system)
I have to fill column "system" in sheet 2 with "system" listed in column 1 of Sheet1.
In other words look for "ip" in Sheet2 in 6 columns of Sheet1 and return column 1 of sheet1 as value.

I wish to display the results in a dialog box or in a different sheet.

In column A I have a list of product names..(e.g....ABCD, JKLM....)...this is the "master product list" -- 1000 rows of products.
In columns C:G, I have additional product names, each column represents products sold by state. (each column lists between 100-250 products).
I want to do a VLOOKUP and I wanted to know what products that are in
A1:A1000, that is NOT listed in C:G?
My experience with VLOOKUP is limited...but I do know that I can only look in 1 column at a time.
How can I write it to look at the ENTIRE range? I suppose I can copy all the all the products to 1 column...?

I'm working on a database right now for our school, similar to a directory. What I want to do is be able to look up what items a staff member has been issued and when/if they were returned. What I have right now is one sheet with all the information about the staff that looks like the one below. I want to create a separate sheet where you could look up a staff member by last name and can find all the information in the array relative the the specific cell looked up.
Last Name
First Name
Position
Building
Items
So, on the "lookup" sheet, I want to be able to input either Doe and have the look up return cells B2:E6, or if I input Smith it should return cells B7:D11.
I've been experimenting with Vlookup, hlookup, index, and match but haven't been able to get exactly what I want..

I am looking to write a search function that searches through a whole document. The only examples I can find are of a could different search functions but they all are searching an specified individual column and even then I didn't really understand them. My worksheet has 6 different columns which are all different labels for a certain tool. I want the user to be able to input any of those 6 labels and have all the information in that row be returned.
