Match Text In Column Of Another Workbook & Return Nth Column Same Row


I have two excel files.
File #1 is a varying length and has 4 columns with ID #s in Column A.
File #2 is a two column file that contains a list of ID #s in column A AND modified ID#s in column B.

I need to match the ID #s in column A from file# 1 to the list in column A of file#2 then replace ALL instances of the matching ID #s in column A of file#1, with the values found in column B of file #2.

I've tried using the substitute function but I could only replace one found ID at a time.

Lookup/Match: Compare A1 For The Values In Column B, Then Return The Corresponding Cell (column C) In Column D
I've been searching the forums for this problem but I can't seem to find any answers. Anyway, this is the problem. See screenshot.

I want to compare A1 for the values in column B, then return the corresponding cell (column C) in column D.
e.g. D1 = 2, D2 = 1, D3 = 4, D4 = 5 and D5 = 3.

Return Nth Value From Single Column Range
Assume A1:A10 filled with the characters A to J.

I'm looking for a way to return the letter "C" when 3 serves as the index_num BUT I do not want to present all 10 characters in the formula.

I would like to use the range A1:A10 =Choose(3,A1:A10) or, if applicable, to name the range as DATA and then use: =Choose(3,DATA)

I tried all I know, including INDIRECT - but found no solution [is there any ?]

As I'm familiar with all workarounds - I will appreciate replies that use CHOOSE.

Want To Return Value From 2nd Column Based On Match In 1 Field With First Column
I'm working on a project in which I have 50 states + DC listed by 2-letter abbreviation, and want to return a value in another column that will be a non-unique number (some will duplicate in the second column.)

Also need to do this same operation with first column (state) and third column, which also is comprised of non-unique numbers.

Hlookup, lookup & pivot tables seem to not be a fit for this.

Formula To Go Through Each Row And If The 2nd Column Is Yes Then Return The First Column
I have a collection of data like the following:
Week1 | yes
Week2 | no
Week3 | no
Week4 | yes
Week5 | no
...
Week28 | yes

I need a formula to go through each row and if the 2nd column is yes then return the first column. I could then copy and paste this formula into a the next cell, add an argument saying the returned value cannot be the same as the previous ones, and so on. Essentially this is a series of nested IF statements. However, Excel prevents more than 7 statements from being nested, when I need all 28 to be searched. I cannot think of a way to get VLOOKUP, INDEX & MATCH, or defined names to make this work, because it needs to step through each row.

Multiply Every Nth Cell By Another Column Whith Merged Cells, THEN Find Column Total
Please see the attached sheet. I have columns B through a lot (B through O in my oversimplified example). In every 7th row in each of these columns there is either a 1 or a blank/zero. I need to multiply that 7th number by the Quantity in column A, to achieve a total (ie the sum of each result of 7th cell*quantity) for each column in the bottom row, labeled "Totals".

In the actual version of my sheet, there are far too many rows to select everything manually. I've been fiddling with combinations of COUNTIF/COUNTA and OFFSET, but I haven't come up with a way to check for the 1 in every 7th row, THEN multiply that 1 by the quantity in column A, THEN add up the results for each column. As you can see, there are 1's elsewhere in the columns that are irrelevant to this particular calculation, so something like LOOKUP would also have to look in every 7th cell and couldn't just look at the column as a whole.

If you can't provide an immediate solution, but can at least point me to a resource that would allow me to devise a way to isolate every 7th row (THAT part is the sticking point), I'll surely post the solution to my own thread with updated keywords if I need it.

I am looking for a Macro that will search a column for blank cells, and when one is found will add text to the same row in another column. For example: The below is a spreadsheet. I am trying to find something that will search through column "C" in this case and add text (of my choice) to Column "A" if the cell is Blank. So Since cell C1 is Blank then Type "ERROR" is cell A1.

Match Date In Column & Return Corresponding Value
I have used index/match before to match and extract data, but I can't seem to wrap my head around this one. It's probably best explained by looking at the attached workbook. Basically, I want formulas in 'John Doe!B' and 'Jane Doe!B' to look up the Name and Date values in column A on the 'Data' sheet, and then return the time value that is on the same row but in the 'Data!B' column.

I then want 'John Doe!C' and 'Jane Doe!C' to return the time that is two rows below the time shown in 'John Doe!B' - I've gone and manually entered and bolded the values in the workbook to show what I eventually want the formula to do. The data on the 'Data' tab will be extracted monthly into excel from tracking software my company uses, but there will always be a minimum of 3 rows of time for each date. As you can see in the example workbook, some dates will be omitted for some people, and while there will always be 3 minimum rows there will often be many more time entry rows for different dates as well. However, I'm only concerned with the 1st row and 3rd row for each date.

I was originally thinking a vlookup for 'John Doe!B' and then a hlookup for 'John Doe!C' that references the value in B might work, but I'm getting stuck on how to ensure the formula realizes the differences between the data and dates for John Doe and Jane Doe.

Index Match Lookup, Variable Return Column
I would imagine that the title of this thread made little sense, so let me try to explain:

Sheet A has columns A-C populated with data. Column D needs to search Sheet B columns A-C for a match. (ie, see if the data on sheet A is also on sheet B) if this is true, then it needs to return the value of the LAST column of the matched row in Sheet B.

So, if Sheet A R1 A-C is 1,2,3. Sheet A R1 D needs to search Sheet B for 1,2,3. and when it finds it, (for example on row 9) return the value of the last column of Sheet B row 9. The issue is, the last value could be in column R or S or AA, there is just no way of knowing.

Lookup Column Values In Another & Return Value If Match Found
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.

Find Row Number With Two Column Match
I'm trying to do something similar to the Vlookup function (or Index/Match method) but with two or more parameters to match instead of just one. I want to returnn the Row where two columns match the input parameters. Using Vlookup is a problem because it only returns the first one.

Is the standard method to us Vlookup for one parameter, then check the second and if it doesn't match reduce the search field, find the next and check the second again etc? That would work but it would be much simpler if there's a 2 parameter function.

Find Value In Table & Return Column / Row Header
I am having trouble with getting a value (which is the row and column value) from a set of numbers. I have attached an example table to try and make things clearer.
What I have is a table with a set of Row Headers, and Columns Headers all numeric. e.g Columns headed 1, 2, 3, 4, Rows 30, 40, 50 etc. I want to find the 1st occurrence of a value e.g. 1.0 in the table (by 1st Up mean closest to top left), and then give me the value of the Row and Column Header that corresponds to that.

So for the example attached, I want to get the row Value 200 and Column 6 from finding the 1st occurrence of the number 1. I have tried various combinations of index and Match etc. But I can't get my head around the fact that the position of the 1st no. 1.0 can change, therefore I can't use any releative positions etc.
