Matching Multiple Criteria On Row Then Showing Cell On That Row?
Feb 3, 2013
I've got an array of data about 30x1500 cells in size, I want to use this data in a table I'm making on another worksheet.
Normally I'd just use VLOOKUP and this works great in most cases but I want to do something a little bit more complicated. Basically I want to (in normal English) have excel look at the table, find a cell that matches criteria in this data array, then compare to another cell on the same row in this array. If the criteria for these two match then display the data from another cell on the same row. The criteria for matching the first cells would be an exact value, both being strings of text.
I've tried using a couple of nested VLOOKUP and IF statements but failed .....
I am trying to create a simple user interface type thing so that someone is able to select from drop down lists someones information, such as whether they are male or female, aged between 19-35 or 35-67, whether they are studying in a business area, legal or construction etc (there are 6 variables in total), This will then give the probability of success of the person passing this course based on probabilities which I have already worked out. I have worked out how to do the first stage of creating a drop down list showing alternative choices with Sex, Age etc in the data validation options, however:
There are 517 possible combinations, as in Male aged 19 to 35 studying Business (with other variables) or Male aged 19 to 35 studying Law (+ other variables) etc etc etc each with their own probability of success. Due to the long nature of writing out Male1935BusinessNorthWestWhiteBritishCollegeBrown I have rewritten it so it appears in the excel file as M1935BNWWBCB, which obviously wouldn't make any sense to someone if they had to select M 1935 B NW WB CB from drop down lists.
Along side the M1935BNWWBCB there is the probability of success specific to that type of person. So for example I could would have: M 60% M1935 64% M1935B 35%....
Modifying the following line by replacing the row number in AC2 and Q2 by an incremental variable? I mean something like “AC”&Rw , “Q”&Rw, &Rw, Rw being my incremental variable used to go through the rows.
I'm trying to create an overview which shows a breakdown of the total minutes for each task on each given day.
I need to get a formula to work in the grey area which sums the total minutes (column C) based on matching two criteras of task (column A) and day (column b).
I have a spreadsheet where I want to match the PO info with the invoice info. I want to match the cost center, location, PO number, item number and the price.
Period Cost Center Account Item No PO No Amount Test
As you can see in that the formula is showing the first 4 rows with a difference even though that the difference is in the first two. How can i fix this?
My second question, on the lines with the 989.04 difference, how can I make the same formula to say "Fix the account" or to fix the column with discrepancy
I have been asked to analyse the contribution / performance of each student in a team. What i am trying to do is to count the number of times each student has work together and then try to work out their contribution. Got stuck on the 2nd bit for like 3 weeks flat. have been trying but not luck... seems to give me 1 or 0. so i assume my attempt is only a true or false answer! All i need is a count of how many times each student work with each other, and the best backbone formula is "count". This situation is best explained by my example, D15 is the closest i got
I have a spreadsheet schedule that pulls quantities from another spreadsheet's cells. if the part number of the reference row matches the schedule cell's part number (row), and the date of the reference cell row is 2 workdays after that of the schedule cell's column, the quantity is put in the right place in the schedule. that part works. the problem I have is that sometimes there is more than one quantity with the same part number and date (due to the parts belonging to different jobs). when this is the case, only one of the quantities is picked up by the schedule. i want the schedule cells to sum the quantities of the reference file with matching criteria. i also don't want to have to change the reference file at all in order to do this. below is the function that works (besides summing the duplicates). the part after the " " is what i would need to alter.
HXS is the reference file where D is the part number column, I is the date column, and 5 is the index column referencing the quantity.
C is the part number column in the schedule K is the date row in the schedule ....
Currently I have two tabs one with six columns of data. On a separate tab I have a matrix of two of the criteria. I would like to map the company data to the matrix, but recognizing the primary representative has more than one company he/she manages. Hence I don't just need the first entry, but all of his/hers maps to the size columns.
I am using the below code to count records in a range that meet multiple criteria.
myCount=0 For Each dCell In Range("MyRange") If dCell = var1 And dCell.Offset(0,-1) = var2 Then myCount = myCount + 1 Next dCell
Is there a faster way to count multiple criteria in a VBA procedure than what I'm doing, but without using worksheet formulas? I tried "WorksheetFunction.Sumproduct" like you would in a worksheet formula, but that didn't work (unsurprisingly).
On my worksheet (which I have stripped down significantly to be able to upload here), I am looking for a way to copy certain cells over when the TCR (machine) numbers match. So, on the spreadsheet, if there is a 1 on the De La Rue sheet in the A column, it will then copy the value that is in cell B (directly next to it) and paste it into the balance sheet tab in column J in the row that has the same number in it. It would then do this for all machines in the balance sheet.
Then it would go to the "Ecoin Amounts" sheet, and do the same match, copy, paste, but this time it would be if the machine number matches, it takes the value from column D and the value from column H and pastes these into the balance sheet sheet in columns C and E respectively.
As you can see from the balance sheet tab, I tried using a VLOOKUP function, but when I import my initial data to the sheets, and manipulate it the way that I want, it gives be a reference error. I could possibly circumvent this by writing the VLOOKUP amounts as part of my macro, but I wanted to see if this could be done any easier.
I am developing Spreadsheet that you will enter a list of parts that you need. it will have many columns but only 4 are vital to the check. this will be generated for each project.
With each part i want to then look up in another file that is a list of all the possible parts you can have with there cost. this file will be standard for everything and it will be updated from time to time.
now not all the criteria to look up will be exact matches.
here is an example
code temp/pres rating diameter material GLV 4500 15 16Mo3
in the other file we will have multipu entries for GLV with different values.
For Code i need it to match (there are lots of codes even including variations like GLV.) For Temp/pres rating i need it to be equal or higher to the value For diameter i need a match for material i need a match.
so as you can see from the list above there are 2 options. so then i want it to return the cheapest.
that is step one.
step two is to repeat it for multiple list of parts.
[Date] [Category] [Currency] [ExchangeRate] [.....], etc. 1-3-09 A USD 0,8 1-6-09 A EUR 1 1-7-09 A USD 0,7 1-8-09 B USD 0,9 1-9-09 B USD <formula>
I'd like to have the value of <formula> looked up in older records. Currency and category should match and it should pick the exchange rate with the maximum date.
Which formula and what syntax should I use to have this done?
I have two workbooks at the moment, one which holds a whole host of customer and accounts details and another which holds only the customer details. What I'm trying to do is cross reference the two to determine if a customers details appear on both and if they do highlight this, ultimately I'd like it to pull the customers account number back but even if it highlights a match that would be sufficient.
The only unique criteria I have to do this are customer surname and customer postcode.
In the Customer details spreadsheet I'm attempting to enter a formula which will look at the specific surname & postcode held on the row in which it is entered. It will then look at all of the rows on the other spreadsheet and determine whether any of them meet both criteria.
If they do I'd like it to display "match" if they don't I'd like it to display "no match"
I am attempting to place a formula in cell b3 in the attached spreadsheet on the "sheet to pull data into" tab 1 (cell is highlighted yellow) to retrieve value in the yellow highlighted cell in the "Sheet that contains data" which is on a seperate worksheet within the same workbook.
The cells highlighted red in the "sheet to pull into" tab (cells: a1, a3, b1, and b3) are the criteria that needs to be matched to those cells on "sheet that contains data" tab in order to ensure the value returned is correct.Sample of problem.xlsx <----see the attached sample spreadsheet.
I have a wordlist (65000 words in Column B*) in a worksheet w1 and poems (about 21000 rows) in another worksheet w2 where first verse is always in B and second one in C. The column D of w2 contains of information such poems name, authors name, books name and so on.
I want to search for those verses through a macro which contain words from my wordlist B* w1 and add references to my words that way. Its about making a dictionary in which each word has a reference to a poem and verses in which it is used.
Column A of w2 has number in it which shows how many times these rows have been already used as reference. Column A of w1 contains of a value 1 or 0 in which 1 means this entry has already been processed or already has a reference and 0 means it has yet to be done.
If my word B* from w1 exists in verses B or C of w2 the results should be shown in an userform containing 5 text boxes with 5 results. In each text box a result should be shown (verse B; verse C); (value of Col.A) and a checkbox (or a button). That would mean 5 result, 5 textboxes and 5 checkboxes (or 5 buttons). I would like then to choose one of the results by checking the checkbox (or pressing the button) in front of the text box. After I have chosen the result the whole row from w2 should be pasted in following columns of B*. That means the cells from w2 column B,C,D would be pasted to column C,D,E of w1.
The criteria for the search in B and C should be the lowest value in A of w2. I mean the w2 rows with lowest A value should be preferred if there are more results. The result showing user form with 5 text boxes and 5 checkboxes(or 5 buttons) which gives me the choice to choose one of the results should also contain a button search for further results. For the case none of the results is useful.
As far there are many poems (verses) I would like to prevent using the same verses many times. The more different verses I use as reference for the words in w1 the better it is. Therefore every time a result is picked by me 1 should be added to the value in Column A in w2. And every time search is started the lowest A values should be searched first.
As soon a word has successfully got its reference the value in A w1 should be changed from 0 to 1. And by next search all words with A value 1 should be ignored and only 0 words should be searched for.
Each time a row from w2 is used as reference, the B* word w1 should be added to col. E of w2. If used for many ";" should be the seperator.
When I update a cell (change A1 from 2 to 3), any cell that references that cell correctly changes its value (B1 = 2*A1). However, the screen will show the new value in B1 (6) over the previous value (4). At first I thought it almost looked like a strike-through, but then I realized the old value and new value were simply stacked in B1.
If I scroll the screen away that cell and go back to it, the correct value will now show without the stacked values. I'm not having this issue in any other program (Open Office), and I don't seem to be having any kind of stacking issue in any other Microsoft program.
I have two excel sheets. Lets say one is for May and another for June month. I have some data like name of account, account number their ratings . I wish to find if the account present in June month was present in May month sheet or not and if yes, then i need to extract a rating entry( column) from it and paste it in another sheet where i have copied all the data of June month so that i am able to see if the rating has changed over the months or remain same for that particular account...
i am trying vlookup but it is not able to search the name of the account even when it is present in the sheet( like WBIDFC) ... it seems the problem may be because of the format but i am not sure.... moreover i tried to vlookup via account no. but problem is that sometimes the account number is given and sometimes not.. Moreover , the format also does not match sometimes..
I have two work sheets I'm using. Sheet1!A column contains a list of customer names like "Smith, John".
Sheet2!A contains the same list of name with additional information found in the row. For example, you will find "Smith, John" in Sheet2!A3 and John's phone number in Sheet2!B3
In Sheet1!B it to find the associated telephone number based on matching criteria from Sheet1!A and Sheet2!A
For example, Sheet2 has the following data.
[Code] ....
On Sheet1 I have the following names. You'll notice some of the names repeat.
[Code] ......
In column Sheet1!B I would like it to scan column A from sheet2 and display the data show in column B. So it would look like this-
[Code] ....
You'll notice some names repeat but it always displays the correct number from Sheet2.
I have an items list on page 2. On page 1 I want to create a drop down menu in C2 that references the list on page 2. Then when I choose an item, I want the additional information in cells D2 and E2 to come in automatically. The list on page 2 will be expanding daily, and when I expand it I can simply insert a new row so I correctly alphabatize it instead of constantly having to resort it.
With that said.... 1. How do you put in the drop down box that references information on a different sheet?
2. What is the best way to reference the information in my ever expanding situation: Index/Match, Vlookup, Lookup, or something I havent mentioned?
I have numbers in columns a through cc and cannot put them in descending order. I am using this formula:
=match(CF1,A10:A1008,0) I have to use a new cell and type the same formula =match(CF1,B10:B1008,0) then again =match(CF1,C10:C1008,0) I AM RUNNING OUT OF ROOM! Is there anyway to search all columns =match(CF1,A10:CC1008,0) ?? This formula doesn't work when I type it in.
I have tried shift control enter for an array and still no go.
I have tried vlookup I have tried Index I have tried Iferror I have tried isna
I maintain the data flow at my work. We send and receive the data using excel files with specific formatting that I then upload to the database. Each time I send or receive the excel file I must log them, this is what my code question refers to.
I use RDBMerge to merge all the contents of the 100 plus excel files into one worksheet. The first part of the macro cleans up the merge data for use in the log (i have attached an example of the clean data and finished log).
The blue shaded area of the "Raw_Data" is what the clean data looks like, the yellow column is what current macro records for each record.
As you can see by the example the Raw_Data is only two files LL_LLL_BOB_ToLLLLL_20121228_01 & LL_LLL_BOB_ToLLLLL_20121230_01, each with more that one record.
The log code in column "H" Is based on this criteria: First Letter of the Unique ID in column "E" - O, M, or L Program Type in Column "F" - U or R 1. O-U = U 2. O-R = RU 3. M-U = U2 4. M-R = R2U 5. L-R = R
You will note that Columns G-R of the "Log Sheet" correspond to the "Record Type" found in Column "G" of the "Raw_Data" sheet.
This is the area where my skill at using scripting dictionaries fails.
The results for the log list each file only once, but the log code for each corresponding "Record Type" in columns G-R of the "Log Sheet" must contain each unique instance of the code. In other words
if LL_LLL_BOB_ToLLLLL_20121228_01 contains an O-U with an "A" Record Type and an M-R with an "A" Record Type; then, on the log sheet there needs to be the codes "U/R2U" in the cell intersection of the LL_LLL_BOB_ToLLLLL_20121228_01 record row and "A" column (which is column "G")
So, If the File contains one of each code for each Record Type the corresponding cell must house one of each code separated by a "/" without any spaces. This means the cell value could no code, or one code and all the variations in between to all five codes. Also, for ease of human reading the log codes should be concatenated in the 1-5 order that I listed them in (U/RU/U2/R2U/R)
Here is my code so far.
VB: Option Explicit Sub test() Dim dic As Object, a, i As Long, rng As Range, e, w, n As Long Set dic = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
I have a worksheet entitled 'Data'. In this worksheet there is a table consisting of 4 columns plus relevant data:
TABLE 1:
Project Benefit Type Delivered or Enabled Benefit
PJ1 Financial Delivered Saving of $4M over 24 months.
[code]....
I have been trying to create a formula that will enable me to pull data from the 'benefit' column(column D) so that the cell contents populate in a single cell in a table in a different worksheet.
TABLE 2:
Financial - Delivered Financial - Enabled Tech - Delivered Tech - Enabled Green - Delivered Green - Enabled
[code]....
So, as an example, I am hoping that a formula can be created which pulls the text from relevant cells in column D when criteria from columns A, B and C are met e.g. Tech benefits that are Delivered in PJ2 would populate cell E3 ('Tech -Enabled') in Table 2 with:
Worksheet 1: In column A I have a people's initials. In coumn B I have text boxes with miscellaneous text. (The same person could have multiple rows within this sheet.)
e.g. AAA blue BBB orange AAA round CCC smelly AAA elongated
Worksheet 2 I want to show: A2 = initials, B2 = first text box associated with that person, C2 = second text box (different row) associated with that person (if applicable), D2 = third text box (different row) associated with that person (if applicable), etc.
e.g. AAA blue round elongated BBB orange CCC smelly
I am having such a difficult time creating a macro that will reduce the 5+hours I have to spend each week manually copying & pasting all of this data. I making an IMMENSE difference in this worker bee's life!
I have a workbook with two sheets (Sheet1 & Sheet2). Sheet1 has license #'s in column A and the state that the license belongs to in column B like this:
COLUMN ACOLUMN B11111Alaska11112Alabama11113Arkansas11114Arkansas Sheet2 has three columns. Column A has the license #'s, column B has the state that the license belongs to and Columns C shows a line-of-authority tied to that license #.
I'm trying to write a macro that will compare the license # and state in Sheet1 to the license # and state in Sheet2. If it matches, append the contents of Column C to the corresponding row in Sheet1.
Here's the thing...Sheet2 contains the entries for all licenses in the company (so this table is HUGE). And there are multiple entries for each state license # (notice how there's two entries above for AK license # 11111 - one for the Property line and one for the Casualty line.
After my macro is run, I want Sheet1 to show all the lines-of-authority on a single line. So if I ran my macro on the above example, after it's run I would have this in Sheet1:
COLUMN ACOLUMN BCOLUMN C11111AlaskaProperty Casualty11112AlabamaProperty Casualty11113 ArkansasLife Health11114ArkansasLife Health
STO-Productivity-Feb0314.xlsxI work in cancer research and I'm trying to find a way to show the amount of studies that staff have in total and their role on the study. I have a data table that contains many fields but the crux of what I'm having trouble with starts with the following:
When I begin with a pivot table I start by just selecting the all of the studies listed in the table and then the two roles that staff can have data or regulatory. Staff can do both roles or just one on a study. I put the roles of data and regulatory into the row labels and the studies that we work on in the values. The problem is that I now only see studies that the staff member works on that meet working on both roles and not the studies that they serve only one role.
UPDATE: see the attached spreadsheet to illustrate further. Ablorh is the employee that I have it focused on and it only shows the one study she has both the regulator and data roles. The 7 other studies that the employee works on in the data role do not show.
I have a cell (A1) that contains text. That text will match a single value in a reference list (i.e. range of cells e.g. Z1:Z26). When the match occurs (e.g. A1 = Z16), I want the format of the reference cell (fill color, text color) to apply to the cell of interest (A1). The reference cells are manually formatted.
I know that I could create a long list of conditional format formulas instead of using the reference, but it seems that there must be some way to tell excel: if the cell value contents are equivalent, the formatting should be as well.
programming 2 macros in a bank reconciliation sheet I am trying to create.
Basically the data consists of two sets: the ledger side and bank side. Both sides consists of multiple columns that include date, description and amount.
The following two situations can occur and which need to be covered with a macro.
Many to one matching When we make payments to say 100 different suppliers at once, the ledger side will show 100 lines with the different amounts. However on the bank side it will only show one line with a total amount for the transaction. As the description on the ledger side is the same for all transactions done at the same time, it should be possible to have a macro add these lines and compare the total with entries on the bank side. Once a matching amount has been found, the macro should place an x next to all entries on the ledger and bank side, in order to show that these transactions have been reconciled.
Partial cell matching In this case we are only dealing with one line on both the ledger and bank side. The issue is that the description does not always perfectly match with one another. The ledger side might say Brown Corp. and the bank side might say Brown Corporation. I want to come up with a macro that can recognize this partial match and still reconcile the lines by placing a x to both the ledger and bank entry. The match however should be done with a combination of description, date and amount as several different bookings might be done for the same supplier in the same month.
