Query On Col_index_num Of Vlookup()
Jul 22, 2009
With the vlookup function below, is there any way of naming the col_index-num instead of a number. Because i have many columns and i want to identify it distinctively. It is too dificult to look into column and count it until i got what kind of value i am "vlookingup" in a particular column...example the column index num value is 58, instead of 58 i want to name it as "Bonus" for example...
VLOOKUP(lookup_value,table_array,col_index_num,[range_lookup])

In my spreadsheet there is a main table that has the following:
Name of Company ABC Fund XYZ Fund
Acme $8888 $9999
Joe Co. $9595 $5555
Now, on another sheet I enter in the company name in Cell A1 and then the Fund name in A2. I want A3 to then be equal to the appropriate amount (name of company and amount in fund). I have used vlookup before but that only returns half of the equation.

I have a problem with the VLOOKUP function and i can't work out what is going on. I've attatched file. On the members sheet in cell F9, the result should equal 13.2, but the formula throws out 13.0. The final VLOOKUP seems to be the problem. The lookup value is F8(which is 13.4), the table array is named 'calc'(on the tables sheet), and column index number works out to be 3. The figure in column 3 is 13.2, yet it throws out 13.0!

I have attached a sample workbook, (Pricing Sheet - Major) within this work book there is a worksheet entitled Price Book which has commonly-used materials, unit prices and labour rates. What he wishes to do is use the contents of the Price Book worksheet within a worksheet called Pricing Sheet to enable him to prepare quotations.
I had the idea to first sort the items in the Price Book worksheet and then produce a dropdown list of these items for use within the Pricing Sheet worksheet and used the VLOOKUP function to obtain the values for unit prices and labour within the Price Book and use them in the Pricing Sheet worksheet.

I have designed a spreadsheet and i want a seperate worksheet (sheet3 for arguments sake) to retrieve customer data from worksheet 2 - The data I required is the customer data currently contained on columns A - H and there are around 50 rows. (A2 - I51). I want the seperate sheet to identify entries that have today's date in column I and then list them in Worksheet 3.
Im having difficulties with the syntax for retrieving the data from a seperate worksheet. There may be several entries for the same date and I want to the seperate sheet to report all customer data in worksheet 3? Also, if the date falls on a weekend I would like to retrieve any data for the weekend on the Monday so all cases can be reviewed.

I have an MS Access query that contains a parameter. The parameter is a date field, and I have configured that in the Access query. If I run the query within the MS Access user interface, it prompts me for the paramater value as expected, and runs just fine. However, I want to connect to this query from within Excel as a data source.
I have created a connection to the Access file using ODBC from within Excel. In the MS Query window, I am merely selecting all of the fields resident in the MS Access query, and returning all values. In other words, there is no selection criteria in the MS Query. I have done this many times with Access queries that DO NOT contain a parameter, and everything works fine. However, in this instance, I need to pass a parameter through to MS Access in order for the query to run. At the moment, I get the "Too Few Paramaters...1 expected" error message. This makes sense, because I haven't figured out how to pass the paramater to MS Access.
Is there a way to structure this that does not involve VB code? If so, I'd love to know how. I have tried creating parameters in MS-Query with the same name, but although I get the prompt it doesn't connect with the Access query as the source for the parameter value.
If the solution requires using code, I'm good with VB Code in Excel...is there VB for Excel code that could make this happen?
Failing that, I guess there must be (I've seen a few in my search thus far) Access VB Code that can make this work. I'm very rusty using VB with Access, so this is my least favored solution. However, if this is the only option, keep in mind that I need to pass the paramater ultimately from a user who will initiate the process using Excel.

I have a csv file on another drive on the network that i need to query. I believe that ms query would be the best way. I know that a DSN needs to be setup but this macro will be used by various users who wont know how to do that. thus I would like to create one via VBA every time the task needs to be run.
I haven't a clue how to do this and i need it to be explained to me in general terms with words of one syllable!

I'm trying to query a query in Access 2003, from Excel 2003.
The query in Access looks like:
AccessQuery: [SELECT VBAFunction(field1) FROM Table]
The query in Excel looks like:
ExcelQuery: [SELECT * FROM AccessQuery]
I use the following VBA code in Excel to excecute the query:
With ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(cDataSheetName).QueryTables.Add(Connection:=strConnection, _
Destination:=ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(cDataSheetName).Range("A1"), Sql:=strQuery)
.RowNumbers = True
.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
iResultRowCount = .ResultRange.Rows.Count
End With
When I execute this code I get the error message 'SQL Syntax Error' (Error 1004). When I remove the VBA function from the query in Access, it all works fine.

I created an Ms Excel Database Query to bring in data from MS Access. (versions 2002 of MS Excel and Ms Access). The query works fine initially. I can right click, choose Edit Query and change my criteria. Results are returned almost instantly.
My problem is that, once I save the workbook, or autosave happens, I get an error when I right-click to Edit Query: This query cannot be edited by the Query Wizard..

Is it possible to set parameters on a query but use a wildcard to return all instances? I have a query that I want to be able to set multiple parameters on but give the user the ability to select as many or as few parameters as they want to see. 2 of the parameters are number fields and 2 are text fields with no spaces.

I have a Vlookup which I want to modify so that it can become dynamic as the table array part of the vlookup will change.
So the basic vlookup is as follows:
=VLOOKUP($R$3,ATTRIBUTION_FACTSET!$M$60:$P$73,2,0)
but the data I am looking for wont always be in the range M60:P73.
So I tried to make it dynamic by doing the following:
=VLOOKUP($R$3,INDIRECT("ATTRIBUTION_FACTSET"&"!M"&U1&":P"&V1),2,FALSE)
The idea being that U1 and V1 would be numbers that can change so in this case U1 would equal 60 and V1 would equal 73
This vlookup is giving me #N/A and no matter how I modify it I cannot get it to work.

I have a sheet using VLookup to find EMail and Web addresses. I can get the address to show up but not as an active URL address. Is it possible to have the address "active" so I can click on it and activate the EMail or Web Site?

I'm trying to do a Vlookup on a file that gets automatically downloaded to the computer from a website. The data is in lots of different data sets, like so:
Loans to countries
Mar
Apr
May
Jun
Loans to banks
Mar
Apr
May
Jun
Every month a new row of data gets added to each table, meaning the start and end cells of the array also shift each time.

I’m trying to develop a workbook which holds monthly data on loan information. It tracks the interest and balance on the loan. I want the first page to have a table displaying the interest payments for every individual tab. When I was brainstorming the idea, I was considering a sort of Vlookup function to find the tab the account is on and then a further function, possibly another vlookup which connects the month to that month’s interest payment. Can anyone help me figure this out?
The attached spreadsheet is obviously simplified, there are well over 30 tabs. But I would like it to, ideally, search the account number column, search the workbook for that account number, and then when on that page use the month at the top of the first page and retrieve the interest payment and put it back in the cell. It’d also be great if the formula can be transferred between workbooks. I’m not sure if that makes sense; basically if I were to copy that worksheet into the next months book, I would like that the formula read those tabs instead of becoming obsolete due to references from the first workbook.

I have a spreadsheet which we use to rank scores for our golf society.
At the start of our season it was decided that if anyone of the top 3 scores were tied we would separate them using a second criteria(back nine score). Any scores from position 4 down would still be tied.
From searching this forum i have managed to separate ties using the 'back nine' second criteria(using a hidden helper column) but only for all the ranking positions not just the top 3.
I have attached the file.

how I would be able to weed out and remove previous references to query names.
For example if I have an external data query named "qry1 by week", then remove the query, then create another one, how do I use the same query name again? Surely there's a reference to it somewhere, that I can eliminate?

Here it goes.
My spreadsheet is populated by data coming from MS Query, i'm entering a parameter value to display the desired data in my spreadsheet. My problem is, i have to close and open the file to have the parameter prompt so in that case i can enter the parameter value.
Is there anyway to call the parameter prompt so i will not open and close the file, its really time consuming...
If possible, i just want a command button that calls the parameter prompt.

I am having problems getting to work a web query in a VBA macro. The goal is simply to get a value retrieved from a web query into an excel cell.
The below code works well with standard html pages (like replacing the url with www.google.com). However, the page I want to retreive (a query at geonames.org that retreives an altitude value for given lattitude/longitude values) does not contain any HTML headers, but just a number in plain text. In this case the below query does not returns anything. I tried different formating options for the query but up to nownothing works.

What my excel sheet is doing is importing a bunch of data from a query. I have all my queries linked to buttons through macros. There are going to be 20-30 buttons that are linked to a query, and each query will produce a different amount of data(in this case, account numbers). When pressing a button linked to a query(i also have one 'Clear' button that just deletes the data, thats all), i use a macro to delete the previous query so it can import the new query into the same cell. The problem I am having is that when a button is pushed and there is no query, I am getting an error message. Here is my original code(macro), and the underlined code is where i am getting the error

I need to create a web query.
I have lot of post codes which needs to be checked in a web page and the output column needs to be updated in the spreadsheet.
Link: - Find UK Postcodes Inside a Radius
for example: - The post code WD18 1TB will be there in Excel Sheet this has to be copied and pasted in the link in column
Step 2 : Click on map OR Place radius by location name or postcode
and Step 1 : Radius should be updated as 10 and then the Draw Radius needs to be clicked. Then the output needs to be copied (in this case the output is: AL2,HA1,HA2,HA3,HA4,HA5,HA6,HA7,HP3,UB9,WD1,WD17,WD18,WD19,WD2,WD23,WD24,WD25,WD3,WD4,WD5,WD6,WD7) in our spreadsheet in the next sheet.

I have some thousand web queries in an excel sheet, and now I need to get the hyerlinks from each of the query into cells in another sheet. I need this as the users in addition to looking at the data I have pulled need to access the actual webpages to look at the original report - where there are a lot of images that is not effective to put into my excel report.
What I want is to get the "name" value from the properties of the web queries, and then paste the value in a cell in another sheet. I can't seem to find any answers to how to extract the actual parameter values from a web query - but it seems like it should be possible...?
