Is it possible to nest the two functions of match & offset. I am working with two worksheets. One is a constant the other is building. I want to match a text from the first spreadsheet in the second sheet (otherwords I want to find that exact within the other spreadsheet) then I want to retreive the offset value to the right of the matched cell and place it in the constant worksheet where the formula is.
For Example
Sheet 1 Sheet2
Company: First Name: Company: Name:
Adamack's ? Adamack's Patrick
So if I put the formula where the ? mark is, I want to match the first company name on sheet 1, from the range in sheet 2, then I want to get the offset from that match 0,1 to give me the name patrick.
I've followed several tips on how to match these formulas, but somehow cannot make them work. I'm using Open office's version of excel. I need a formula that searches on 'tension downfall' for data in the first sheet, and then return a value corresponding to the row and column that match the input on the first sheet.
'tension downfall' shows a double entry table which shows amperage against length and returns a wire size. I would like to input amperage and length on two different cells and have the wire size needed for those values. Is it clear enough? I'm attaching my current work to make it a little bit clearer.
I have three columns of data in columns A,B,C - there are formulas in these columns that either produce a numeric value or return blank.
I have created Dynamic Named Ranges for each of them and have entered the following formula: =OFFSET(Working!$A$1,1,0,MATCH(1E+305,Working!$A:$A,1))
My issue is that this formula is looking one row past the last numeric entry in the column (a blank) which is leaving a blank space when I graph this data.
I am trying to create a formula with mutiple criterias to come back with results of whether that person is Eligible or Not Eligible for stock. The criteria to be Eligible is as follows:
1) Hire Date before 1st March 2007
2) Band 1 and the performance review = Exceeded
3) If Band 2-5 then performance review must be either Achieved or Exceeded
See attached file for the example. I have got as far as the first 2 points but i am struggling with incorporating the last point.
I have this search function that works well: =IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("which is < ",E9)),"test ok", "not ok") my E9 cell contains the phase: "I have a number which is < 9, and which is positive..." E9 has "which is < ", then i get back "test ok"
My question is.... how can I do this multiple times within the same function/cell. i.e. if I wanted to search "which is < " and/or "positive" in the same cell, then i get back "test ok", "positive number") I keep trying all combinations to no avail, like: =IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("which is < ",E9)),"test ok", "not ok"), =IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("positive",E9)),"positive number", "no good")
Keep in mind I am using a numeric example, although I am using this function to check if part of a cell matches specific text...
I roughly know what my equation should look like, but it keeps failing. Its all part of a wider spreadsheet but I will only put down that bits that impact this part of the sheet.
In my cell I need it to input a value from a different spreadsheet. The input value is text.
I currently use this formula and it works perfectly for what I need.
=(OFFSET(INDIRECT("sheet2!D"&$A7),R$6,25,1,1))
This would a return a variety of results such as "excluded","compliant","non-compliant".
I would like to arrange an IF function so that if the answer is Excluded to keep it as Excluded. But anything else to use this formula instead.
I am in the process of setting up some graphs. The graphs will show the last 6 months of data so they move as each month is goes. I saw a slick way of doing this using the count function but this did not quite fulfill my needs. What I was looking for is to be able to input the start month in a cell. The cell would be part of the function within the formula. I created a simplified version of the spreadsheet below.

Then I created my names using the ctrl-F3
Names.jpg
I then created the graph I wanted and wanted to use the formula =SERIES(Sheet1!$B$3,!chtCat,!chtIssuesReported,1). This kept getting an error indicated nothing really. It basically says there is something wrong with my Series function. I have a working version of a similiar worksheet I have been basing my entries on. They look almost identical but mine is failing. I also created a new file and tried this and it still fails. I can run the formula evaluator within Excel 2010 against the !chtCat and !chtIssuesReported names and they both return the correct value (which equals areas on the spreadsheet). I have also tried to enter the spreadsheet name and a tab in front of the names to get them to work and still get an error. Basicall I am trying to create the graph below (this grpah is using the hard coded locations)
let me start by saying that I know an example workbook would be useful here, but the part I'm struggling with is the [managementroster.xlsm] file, and there is A. no way I can release it to the internets and B. its so huge/complicated I couldn't even begin to reproduce a portion of it, scrubbed of data, and hope to maintain its functionality in a meaningful manner.
[Code]....
This formula checks a staff number on this spreadsheet, and then goes and looks at the staff number on the roster. Once found, it returns that staff members roster, but changes any manager codes in the MRC list to Mgr, and changes all other roster codes to Free.
I now need this formula, before altering roster codes to Mgr or Free, to only return codes that are a match for another table (or after really. I don't particularly care, so long as only codes are shown that match data from another table). I think an index/match function would do the trick, but this forumula is already at the edge of my excel ability, nesting another function within it is completey beyond me. The relevant cells for the index/match function would be:
This first Match function targets the column. $E3 is the date required, $BA$1:$DN$1 is the range the dates are entered in Match: Lookup value = $E3 Lookup array = '[ManagementRoster.xlsm]Vacancies!'$BA$1:$DN$1 match type = 0
This second Match function targets the row. $A$4 is the department name, $B$434:$B$452 is the range where all departments are entered
Match: Lookup value = $A$4 Lookup Array = '[ManagementRoster.xlsm]Vacancies!'$B$434:$B$452 match type = 0
Index: array = $BA$434:$DN$452
So I think my final function is
[Code] .....
But I have absolutely NO idea where it would fit within my first formula, or how to code it so that my original formula only reproduces results that are found in both sheets, or anything.
I am working on a scheduling system and am trawling through some old notes of some two or three years. I came accross two formulas, which I must have used a while ago. they are a little more baffling that what I have recently used, but I must have referenced them for a reason. Normally I write down explanations of the formulas in blonde, so that I can understand their reasoning at a later date, however, I can find no reference to them. explain what they actually do in a logical fashion. I have been looking at this for four hours, filling in date ranges and cells that they refer to, but cannot make sense of them.
I would like to use a custom function or excel formula, if already exists, that finds the text "12 months" and then returns the value of the column that holds that value.
I'm trying to lookup a string in a column from another sheet and than return the row on which that string was found. I have two files, one in which my OFFSET/MATCH worked and another in which they didn't work properly.
My problem is this: I have multiple instances of a string in a column and i want to get all the info on that string (the rest of the columns). Let me explain in examples.
In column A on Sheet 2 i have
4 2 4 2 3 4 5 3 2 2 2 2 4 1 3
I need to have in Sheet 1:
4 2 4 4 1 3
Where the first 4 (bolded) is the reference value.
In sheet 1 i have a column A2 which is the reference. In column B2 i have =MATCH(A2;'Sheet 2'!A1:A16051;1) - this worked on a file but returned a bad value on the other (donno why)
In the second file i used =MATCH(A2;'Sheet 2'!A2:A10552;0)+1 which returned the good value.
For the second value (row 4 1 3) i used =IF(OFFSET('Sheet 2'!A1;B2-2;0)=A2;OFFSET(Sheet 2'!A1;B2-2;0);0). This worked well on the first file but didn't work on the second.
I got the commands above from someone that used to update this file so i don't know exactly how they work
I use the SMALL function to sort the data in date order e.g: A6= =SMALL($A$2:$E$2,1) = 1/1/13, B6= =SMALL($A$2:$E$2,5) = 2/1/13, etc:
1-Jan-132-Jan-133-Jan-133-Jan-135-Jan-13
I then use the INDEX & MATCH functions to place the names under the sorted dates e.g. A7= =INDEX($A$1:$E$1,MATCH(A6,$A$2:$E$2,0)) = "Dan", B7= =INDEX($A$1:$E$1,MATCH(B6,$A$2:$E$2,0)) = "Ed", etc:
The problem I have with this formula is that if there is a duplicate date (i.e. 3/1/13), the INDEX/MATCH formula returns a second "Aaron" rather than "Con".
How to modify this formula so it will return "Con" and not a second "Aaron"? Please note that duplicate dates may recur across the row.
The formulas always assume the data is in multiple rows rather than multiple columns.
I have in col J a series of values, these can be negative and positive numbers of any value. In col D I have the time (starting at midnight each day) that the values occured in col J. I am trying to look down col J until a value >= 50 is reached, I then want to look across at the corresponding cell in col D to find out what time this event occured. So, if a value of 50 or more is found in cell J232 for instance, I want to look across at cell D232 and extract the time found in that cell.
I have one condition which needs to be matched. This code I wrote can find the first instance and then offset data to another worksheet accordingly.
My question is whether than can be done for every other instance that appears on my sourcesheet 'Invoicing'. I have considered putting a loop in, but this will only find the first instance over and over again which is pointless.
I'm having trying to set up a new workbook to pull selected results from an existing one. I am trying to figure out the formula/function for cells B2:D3 on workbook2:
EXISTING WORKBOOK1: (Col A is dynamic range 'name', Col B is dynamic range 'product', Col D is dynamic range 'mtd') A B C D Joe P1 7 P2 1 P3 2 Total 10 Jill P1 3 P2 4 P3 1 Total 8
NEW WORKBOOK2 A B C D P1 P2 P3 Joe 7 1 2 Jill 3 4 1
I entered the following as an array formula in cell B2 and it works fine to return the proper result of 7: =INDEX('workbook1.xls'!mtd,MATCH("Joe"&"P1",'workbook1.xls'!name&'workbook1.xls'!product,0)) This does not work to return the results for P2 or P3, I am assuming because I need some sort of an offset for the different rows in workbook1.
I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction here. First I want to locate the proper name in workbook 1 and then the proper product under that name and finally pull the mtd col D result for that product and name.
I'm trying to create a formula that would return the value of the column next to it. Looking at the below example, in a new cell I would want to be able to return the value 7 based on the fact that it is in category b.
I would think an if/offset/match function would do this but I can't seem to figure it out as it may require nesting.
I am using an offset match formula to look at a named range of data and create a validation list of property address's based on certain criteria in cell d1.
My question is it appears the information which is status information seems to have to be sorted, otherwise the list doesnt work properly.
is there another formula to accomplish this with out having to sort the criteria in cell d1 ??
This is the formula i am curently using, it works great if "ListStatus" is sorted and not if unsorted.
I found the following formula, with different sheet and cell references, on someone's site: =OFFSET(CurvCalc!$E$12,MATCH(MAX(CurvCalc!$E$12:$E$10000)+1,CurvCalc!$E$12:$E$10000,1)-1,0)
I googled for the last couple of days but can't find this site again. I have found several that come close like Dave's at http://www.ozgrid.com/News/excel-dynamic-ranges-vba.htm
How to use offset in combination with match and vlookup. Well I think I have to use Offset to find the value ( cell with time in it).
I have in my workbook 3 sheets: Sheet1, Sheet2 and Agents.
In 'Sheet2' every week I upload a report with persons and every person has a certain amount of time behind their name.
In 'Sheet1' I want to get (load) the data: the person and time from 'Sheet2'.
In 'Agents' I only match the names. That's because the names in the report I upload in 'Sheet2' have a different lay-out then the ones I use.
The matching and to get the names correct in 'Sheet1' Is no problem. Though I get stuck with the cells where the time is placed in the report I upload in 'Sheet2'.
The persons are in Column C ( C7, C26, C45, C64 etc) but the value I also need to get is not in line behind the names. It's In the 7th row under the name and in Column L.
Example:
Wiebe (C7) time ( L14) Gary (C26 time ( L33) Kay (C45) time ( L52)
What I use to match the names and get data is this formula.
