Range Arrays In Vlookup
Mar 9, 2008
I have been creating my own custom Estimate/Invoice system for my Renovations business. I am really stuck on something. I have scoured my Excell Bible, asked numerous message boards and noone is able to help. I did find a reference to my issue here but it still left me confused.
Here is my issue.
I created multiple lists for my materials database. They are broken down by categorie…such as Drywall, Tile, Doors & Windows, Hardware, Etc. right now I have 14 lists which I continually add items to as they come up.
Each list are exactly the same, 3 columns Item, Unit, Cost.
I am try to do a Vlookup to access the cost of an item from these list. Please keep in mind that no item is EVER THE SAME.
I can make a simple vlookup work for example searching my drywall materials database VLOOKUP(A1,Drywall,3,False) with Drywall being the preset list range.
However I want my Vlookup to search EVERY MATERIALS LIST for the specified item. I have tried inserting an array into Vlookup that looks like this (List names are restricted to save space)
VLOOKUP(A1,{Drywall,Tile,Hardware,Paint},3,False)
But I can not get it to work, I can get one single list name to work but not an array of them. Is this possible?
Lastly If statements will not work here as I have upwards of 14 lists and If statements only allows nesting up 7 times for a limit.

I have drop down fields using a vlookup to grab the corresponding data in a colums next it which is being concatenated into a one big cell. The problem is a set of other columns that I need to pull data from but its dependant to a previous column. In the attachment you see which ever region is selected the following column data is grabbed and the same goe for title. Now when the location is selected the info in its column should be selected that corresponds to the row that the specific title is on. example
if selected: North America>Secretary>Texas
results: A Crazy Mix->;typical,Notepad, pen,square dance

I would like to select a item from a list and have a text box display data from the next column (corresponding row) Also, I would love if I could type something into a second textbox and have that copy onto a third column (again, corresponding row) Also, if the add comment command button could transfer that record to the "commentted items' sheet. I have attached an example.

I am retrieving a CSV file from the net. In this file there are 'x' amount of row data and 7 columns. I only care about the values in the 7th column for each row. I also don't care about the entire first row. A graphical version would be represented something like this, with the values I want colored in orange:
|---,---,---,---,---,---,---|
|---,---,---,---,---,---,---|
|---,---,---,---,---,---,---|
|---,---,---,---,---,---,---|
|---,---,---,---,---,---,---|
|---,---,---,---,---,---,---|
|---,---,---,---,---,---,---|
.
. extending until the end of the data set
.
I've managed to dice this thing into a jagged array by first splitting it using vbLf as a delimiter, and therefore adding those to an array called Lines(). Then I split Lines() up using commas as the delimiter and threw those into a jagged array, let's call it Breadcrumbs()(). I want to throw all the values from Breadcrumbs(i)(6) into an array of its own. Here's my code so far:
Code:
Public Sub CSVparser(file As String)
Dim Lines As Variant
Dim j As Integer
Lines = Split(file, vbLf)
ReDim breadCrumbs(UBound(Lines)) As Variant
For i = 1 to UBound(Lines) - 1
breadCrumbs(i) = Split(Lines(i), ",")
Next i
End Sub

My code is extremely slow because it writes a row by row. I am trying to use arrays to fill a range for a problem which is essentilly this:
Let x = 1 to 10
Let y = 1 to 10
Let R = f (z)
f (z) is calculated for various pairs of x and y (coordinates) such as:
(x1,y1), (x1,y2), (x1,y3)....(x10,y9), (x10,y10). I am looking for a code that will fill columns A' and 'B' with x and y in pairs (each x with each y) and values of R in column 'C'.

I have four colums of data, of about 100 whole numbers. For each column of data i want to divide the next by the previous using the LN Function. To create 99 log numbers. Then I need to feed these 4 new columns of data back into the worksheet.
I keep getting the error, "Subscript Out Of Range", which has plagued me with arrays since i started VBA. I define the Lower and Upper Bound, but I feel that maybe im not understanding the concept of array's properly, but the more I read and comprehend the more I don't understand why i get that error.

I have a spreadsheet with columns A B & C
So in Column A would be the beginning range (E.g. 2000000) and B would be the end (3000000) with a description in C.
I have another spreadsheet which contain results between Colum A & B, e.g 212000 and would like to do a lookup to return the description in C?
Start End Description
10000002000000Result 1
20000013000000Result 2
30000014000000Result 3

suming a range, always staring with the "1" and then to what ever the vlookup is. so if the lookup value is 15 in column A, it would sum the %s from B1 to B15.
1
4%
2
2%
3

I am trying to use a vlookup for two cells whose data are in a range of cells. The grid is in a range for weight and miles.
Weight
1000
1100
1200
[Code]....
For the example above, I have miles ranges in columns and weight ranges in rows. My output for the example should be 1025 as it falls in the 201-250 Mile and 1300-1399 Range. Is there a vlookup or a match/index that could find that output without looking through the grid?

I am trying to do Vlookups across multiple sheets but cannot make it work. My result is #VALUE!
When I look at the Function Arguments it says the Table Array is Volatile.
My named range "Centers" has 19 tabs listed.

I have a list (a) with distances and another list (b) that gives numbers to certain distance ranges. For instance:
[Code] ...........
Now, if I have a value of 4.5 in list (a), I want to look up the respective zone. For 4 classes, this can be done with an if formula (=if(4.5>50;Zone 4;if(4.5>25;Zone 3;if(..and so on))).
What can I do if I have lets say more than 100 ranges with respective zones (ranges not of equal size) because an if formula will not be feasible anymore?

Q1: In the range for the lookup I'm performing, the column with the possible match is the 2nd column. I've tested my function with this range, but it fails (range is $A$x:$K$x, with possible matches residing in column B). If I change the range so the 1st column has the desired data ($B$x:$K$x), it works. Can I modify the function to search using the 2nd column so I don't have to rearrange the columns in my worksheet?
Q2: Can I return an entire rold of data? If yes, how? I only know how to return one cell.

I am making a spreadsheet using excel 2003 to calculate sales and tax. Column B is formated for date (1/1/2010). Column D,E, and F are formatted for currency with column D=Total Price, column E=sale price, and column F=tax. In column B I type the date the transaction took place and in column D I type total price. Columns E and F are automaticly filled in with the formulas for same. In column H,I J row 9 I would like to calculate 1st Quarter Total Price, Sale Price, and Tax. Row 10 would hold 2nd Quarter info and so on. I searched for info but can't come up with any thing that works.

I have a 2 X 44 range of text cells in one worksheet. The first column includes the same array of variables that are found on a second worksheet. In the second worksheet I want to run a looping vlookup to check if the column in the second worksheet is empty, if it is not I want it to lookup the element in that column in that row from the first worksheet and return the 2nd column item to the adjacent column in the second worksheet.
When I run my program in its current form two problems happen. The first row in the range of the column I want the data returned in is empty, and for the rest of the rows the same value is returned, when it should in fact vary. I think part of the problem is that in my vlookup my entries are:
vlookup(CrudeType, Range("Sources"), 2, false) where crudetype is defined as Range("c2:c" & lrow). This is the C column on the second sheet, I want my output in the D column. Range("sources") is on the first sheet and covers D2:E45.

I'm trying to find a way to perform Vlookups against a dynamic range of data, where the number of rows/values in Col B is always subject to change.
The way that the workbook is structured is as follows:
Sheet1: Except for Cols A & B, this is a blank sheet. This is the sheet in which the vlookup values will need to fall into based on the number found in its' Column B
Sheet2: The sheet that contains the data that will be passed into Sheet1 via vlookup, and all of its Columns contain data.
So, basically, Sheet1 is a shell that needs to be filled with data copied over from Sheet2 based on vlookups against Col B.
The vlookups will need to be shifted back 1 column.
And examples of how the Vlookups need to work is:The value in Sheet2 [Col E], needs to get passed into Sheet1 [Col D]Along those lines:
The value in Sheet2 [Col F], needs to get passed into Sheet1 [Col E]
The value in Sheet2 [Col G], needs to get passed into Sheet1 [Col F]so on and so forth
So basically, all of the values passed into Sheet1 from Sheet2 need to be shifted back by 1 column until we reach the last Col (Col M in this file).
Where
The value in Sheet2 [Col M], needs to get passed into Sheet1 [Col L]
The number of columns will remain fixed, but again the number rows will vary week to week in both of the two sheets, so I would need to have a way of creating a Vlookup through VBA that accounts for the dynamic range in Col B.

I am hoping to do, is change a table's information based on a date range that is specified by the user. I have attached an example workbook below. In the example, on the Data sheet, there is the raw data information, showing user name, the date in question, and finally a number that refers to employee productivity on said date.
What I am hoping to do is to incorporate a vlookup function in order to change the data recovered on the Chart sheet by having the user select a date range. So that if you wanted to view the statistics for just Dec 15, 2008, it would only poll the data from that date, and if you wanted to view the statistics for any dates between Jan 1, 2009 and say Jan 30, 2009, it would do the same.

The workbook I'm working on has several sheets: Totals, Monday, Tuesday, etc set into a SheetArray.
The problem is that I'm trying to perform a VLOOKUP on data in worksheet "Monday" against column A in worksheet "Totals". However, the size of column A will change as the codes iterates through the days. Therefore, I need the range of column A in the Totals worksheet to be dynamic.
Code:
'Find any new projects in the daily data that are not in the Totals.
DayProjCount = Range(Sheets(SheetArray(A)).Range("AA2"), Sheets(SheetArray(A)).Range("AA2").End(xlDown)).Cells.Count
ProjCell = 2
With Worksheets("Totals")
[Code].....
During this process, the code should only find 1 error in ValidProject. But, each are throwing errors. I think it's because the VLOOKUP isn't searching through the correct range, but I don't know how to check it.

I have a workbook with 100 worksheets. Each worksheet is setup the same way with dates down column A, and data in column B. In another sheet, I need to run a vlookup on the dates and data, but I need it to adjust for whatever spreadsheet name I give it. Is there any way to have the vlookup table array change as I change the worksheet it should reference?

I am attempting to categorize IP Addresses. My lookup table looks like this:
Begin End Category
1.50.50.0 1.50.50.255 3
5.185.40.0 5.185.43.0 2
5.22.22.65 5.22.22.128 5
I have a list of IP addresses that need to be categorized.
IP Address Category
5.185.41.15 2
1.128.128.0 Null
1.50.50.128 3
The category column needs to be populated. The ranges in my look up table are not end to end (there are gaps).
Function Lookup got close, but assumed there were no gaps.

Is there a way that I can do a vlookup in 1 file and specify more than 1 data range to lookup the data in?
In this case I have one file to put the vlookup in and a second file with more than 1 tab and I want to have it search each of those tabs and return the result. The format of these sepatate tabs are to each other and for that matter, identicle to the main file.

My first worksheet contains the following information:
Column A contains parent category names (e.g. colours)
Column B contains lookup values (non-unique)
Column C contains value to return
Each subsequent worksheet is for a single parent category (i.e. a sheet per unique category)
I'm unsure how to write some code that will return column C for each worksheet
Example of first worksheet:
A
B
C
1
Group
Item
Amount
[code]....
From this, my code creates 4 new sheets named Red, Orange, Blue and Green with column A containing the item numbers that relate to the worksheet name in the table in the first sheet (e.g. column A in sheet Red contains item numbers 1 to 6 inclusive):
A
B
1
Item
Amount
2
1
x
[code]....
In column B, I could like to return the values in column C from the table in column C that are only specific to that worksheet name.
I think I want to filter column A in the first sheet against the sheet name and then perform a VLOOKUP on the filtered data or would using a dynamic range be better?

I want to run a vlookup (against cell D1 for this example), from a selection of date cells in column A (cell A1 in this example), where the date can be plus or minus a set number of days from the value in the cell (2 days either way in this example).
When I try the following it does not work:
if((A1-2)>A1>(A1+2)=D1,vlookup(D1,D:E,2,0))
Just to clarify, if D1=05/11/2012, I want the vlookup to return if cell A1 is equal to Nov 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, or 7th.
PS: =if(or(a1-2=d1,a1-1=d1,a1=d1,a1+1=d1,a1+2=d1),vlookup etc etc) returns the correct result, but if the date range I search on changes I don't want to rewrite the formula in this format.

I have a vlookup formula that works when looking up one specific value (ie F2 in example below)
=VLOOKUP($F$2,'All active PRs (RP6)'!B2:L2,12,FALSE)
But now, I want to lookup a range of possible text values (say F2 to F8 which would all have different text values). I've created F2 to F8 as a named range called ISS_Services and created a new formula
=VLOOKUP(ISS_Services,'All active PRs (RP6)'!$A2:$L2,5,FALSE)
But it doesn't want to work consistently. Can vlookup work in this scenario?

I am trying to do a vlookup that currently looks as follows:
Range("C2").Formula = "=VLOOKUP(A2,SAP!A$2:AA$42,2,FALSE)"
However, the selection of the table_array (SAP!A$2:AA$42) is a set value. Instead I would like to select all the data that is on sheet SAP. The idea is that the data set will not always be A2:AA42, so I need to make this part variable.
Normally I would use
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlToRight)).Select
to select the entire data set.
