I have attached a copy of what I am trying to do. I've been researching vlookup for a while and everything I try doesn't seem to work. I'm also fairly new to Excel, so most of this is my first time trying these formulas.
In the attached test.xls file, I have two sheets created. The first is "Responsibility," and the second is "List." The data in "List" is what I am trying to pull from. As you can see, the people's names are listed more than once as the list goes down. On the "Responsibility" page I have each person's name one time. In the "Extinguisher" column, I'm wanting it to list every number that is found next to the person's name on the "List" sheet. For example:
Column B2 on the "Responsibility" sheet should read as follows:
i have two sheets, one to display results (Reults tab) & the other tab containing the data (Data tab)
what i am trying to do is some how create a search function and have a forumula which contains a LIKE function that looks up the data table RANGE = Data!A2:K255
the search needs to lookup the primary column Data!B2:B255 ... if any results are found .. show them on the results tab.. and if multiple results are found, display those as well.. (in either instance, the whole row of information in respect to the results need to be dislayed and hopefully no duplicates are found .. eg, Data!A:K of a hit)
is there a formula that can achieve this? oh, the search is TEXT based and there should be no empty cells within the dataset
after some MASSIVE googling, i have stumbled accross this
B1 = Search box (txt field)
A6 (which will be a hidden column) contains =MATCH($B$1,Data!A2:A255,0). this formula provides the first instance of the result and provides the row number
A7 contains =MATCH($B$1,OFFSET(Data!$A$1,A6+1,0,8-(A6+1),1),0)+A6. this is supposed to look for the next row number which contains a match and provide that row number
and througout my other columns, i have B6=OFFSET(Data!$A$1,A6,1) B7=OFFSET(Data!$A$1,A6,2) B8=OFFSET(Data!$A$1,A6,3) and so on
2 things i cannot recitify..
1, the match has to be EXACT ... unfortunately i cannot use exact .. needs to be LIKE .. eg, i cant use the search word "boat" as the range of data has "boats" 2, it comes up with multile .. irrelevent results.
I am using excel as a scheduling program. The sheet has days of the month across the top, and staff names down the column. We have 5 shifts D,A,B,C,N. I am using the following formula to display if shifts have been scheduled for the column
if(countifB10:N23,"N")=1,"X","N") i.e for the night shift. I then use conditional formatting to change the cell to green if the night shift has been scheduled, or red if it has not.
I would like to have the results of all 5 formulas display in a single cell, to save Real Estate, then have the cell go green when all shifts have been scheduled for the day (column).
I have a macro which scans column "AV" in Sheet1 and if a particular value is found it will copy certain cells from that row and paste them into Sheet2 on Row 10 starting with column "E".
With the current code I only paste a single instance, if the value is found more than once I only have the last one pasted. How can I best set this up so it will paste ALL found value results within Row 10?
The four copied results do not have to be in separate cells, it is actually best if the cells are combined. On Sheet2, cells E10-H10 can also be setup to have the data pasted across all four cells and that way Row Height AutoFit would take care of expanding the row's height to accommodate the possibly of having four or five sets of results being combined together and pasted into E10.
Is this even possible using a macro? It is currently being done using a Word document but I am wanting to automate the process and try to handle all the data sorting within Excel, if possible.
Sub Number() Dim colSearch As Range Dim celVal As Range Dim celRow As Range With Sheets("Sheet1")
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.
I have multiple worksheets with part numbers and prices for different computer parts. On each worksheet I have multiple sets of part numbers and prices but I only need one the information from specific part from each worksheet. Luckily, the part number I need is also the name of whatever worksheet contains it. I want to take the part numbers and prices from the parts I need and put them in one master sheet called "PartsNumbersCombined". Currently I haven't even attempted to format the data in PartsNumbersCombined, I am just trying to actually pick up and move the correct data. Here is my code:
Sub harvest() ShtCount = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets.Count For i = 2 To ShtCount
[Code].....
The part numbers are in column A and the prices are one row down in column C. I feel like I am close but I can not get anything pasted on my master sheet.
I've got an If statement in Excel which features several VLookups - I need the IF statement to return differing results to 2 different cells, is this possible?
In plain English, I'm looking for something like
If(Vlookup(A2, B2:D5, 4, False), C6="y" And D7="ok", "False")
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'm using this formula in a roster scene to pick up people that call in sick and display their restored job in a different cell. The problem that I am having say for example employee one calls in sick at 2 pm and i assign that job in a corresponding cell to another, then employee 2 calls in sick for the 1pm shift (the call was made after i have already restored employee one a replacement), the formula automatically places the 1 pm in the cell above the 2pm.
Is there a way to stop it from changing the value once a value is entered in a corresponding cell?

I am trying to do a two way lookup with multlple results. In the example attached I want to know the names of the people who were in Boston on 01/02/09. I have tried a number of index, match formulas to no avail.....
I have been searching all day about this topic and while there are many "solutions" none of them fits my criteria and I can't figure out how to tailor it.
I am using a very basic data sheet to populate a purchase order. I want to be able to search a style and have all the data (color, units and price) automatically fill in upon entering the style number, I have been using vlookup but this only works if there is one color per style.
I have found different lookup functions that give the value +1 when the data is sorted but it returns the value even if it doens't fit the search criteria, I only want to return the second value if it correlates to the initial lookup
I have some data arranged in columns/rows as follows:
Location Name --------- ------ United States Sarah Buchannan United States Walter Smith France Phil Barney Italy Anna Wilson Germany Philip Watson France Neil Anderson
I want to have some function in my spreadsheet that will neatly present the names of the people at a given location in a separate part of the worksheet
e.g. a display of all people in France would have something like:
France ------- Phil Barney Neil Anderson
Ideally I would like to populate cells rows in a different column with the multiple results of the lookup ("persons at a given location") and that change in location for any individual would result in the list of persons at a given location being automatically updated.
Did alot of digging around and managed to construct a UDF that would display the results of the lookup in a single cell - it is however not very readable. But, I found out that a cell based UDF is not allowed to populate other cells other that the one where the function is entered!
I need to start a list in cell a8 on sheet1. I need it to find and list multiple results vertically. It will lookup what is in cell a1 on sheet1. The table of info is on sheet2 from a1 to b44. Column a on sheet2 has the values of what is in column a on sheet1 and column b is what I need returned to the cell with the formula.
I am trying to create a workbook where I can log what work I have done in one spreadsheet and allocate an invoice number to it. In a separate spreadsheet within the same workbook I have created an invoice template. When I enter in the invoice number into the invoice template it's not collecting the correct information.
For example, if I want the details for invoice 10 to show in the invoice template, details for invoice 19 appear.
I have used this formula: =IFERROR(INDEX(ServiceRecord[[Invoice number]:[Date invoice issued]], SMALL(IF(ServiceRecord[[Invoice number]:[Date invoice issued]] ='Invoice TEMPLATE'!$F$8,ROW(ServiceRecord[Invoice number])),ROW(1:1)),2),"")
I am wanting to add new information as time goes on and also to be able to put in any invoice number into the invoice template to recall information as needed.
I have this formula below it will return multiple results is it possilbe to modified it that it will return multiple results but ignore duplicates. I would like it to be a stand alone formula no helper cells or helper columns.
On one of the reports which i am doing to identify the series of values for a single input data. In the attached spreadsheet there are 2 tables, table 1 has complete data with column a is the lookup value and column b is output value
I have to fill the table 2 in the same manner as shown in the attached template. there could be many different for a single lookup value but i am targeting to look for the 1st 9 matches and last matched value. eg. if i am looking for the value 9 which has 15 different values i want to display the 1st 9 matches (p,q,r,s,t,u,v,w,x and ad - being the 15th match)
Not sure whether this could be possible by using formulas?
I have a list of ID's but in the same list there are duplicates, then I have my consolidation sheet without any duplicates, my issue is that I need to have the contents of a different column for each of the ID's.
Data sheet example
Column A (ID) | Column D (Result)
1111 first 2222 other 1111 second 3333 another test 2222 other two's 1111 third
I know something very similar was posted before, but unfortunately, it wasn't what I was looking for. I have a Worksheet tracking several associates and the department they have done work in. (Our associates are contractors for other departments). I need to have a final worksheet that allows me to pull up a name, and display every dept they worked with in the past week.
I have a worksheet in which i am asking a user to enter manually a number in cell E3. Suppose the user starts with 100, then the next time he is entering in E3 he shoudnt be able to enter 100 nor any number less than 100. I dont have a range for the numbers that the user is going to enter.Therefore countif function does not work. Is there any way that i an store the number taht the user enters first in cell E3 and then use that database to avoid the user from entering the same or a number lesser than that number.????
