Reverse VLookup
Jan 7, 2009
I have a column, call it E.
I have table, call it Cities. It has a column of, um, cities, but entered in various ways; and a column of regions:
South Cumberland SW
So. Cumberland SW
So. Cumb. SW
Cumberland SW
Galveston S
Rangeley NE
Galv S
If any one of the entries in Column 1 is contained in column E, I want my formula to return the appropriate region code for each row of E.
Note that E8 may or may not be an exact match for the table entry - it may have additional text before and/or after the match text. It may also not appear in the table at all.
I could contruct a whole sequence of "Find" formulae, but I'm thinking there has to be a better way. Also, if I find I need to add another city permutation, it's way easier - & less error-prone - to just extend the table than to create a whole new "Find" calculation column, and then add that column into the calculation that extracts the region.

I have a dataset that looks like below -
Header1 Header2 Data
100 101 20.50
102 19
103 1003.2
101 100 20.50
200 300
102 100 20
200 104 30
Now, what i need to do is for each of the rows in my dataset, I need to find the reverse entries (consider first row where header 1 is 100 and header2 is 101, I need to search the entire dataset to find if I have some data for header1 is 101 and header2 is 100). In this case, I do have such data where header1 is 101 and header2 is 100.
Header1 Header2 Data Reverse Entry Difference
100 101 20.50 20.50 0
102 19 20 -1
103 1003.2 Not found Not found
101 100 20.50 20.50 0
200 300 30 270
102 100 20 19 1
200 101 30 300 -270
let me know if that's possible through excel formulas?
I need a column D with such data and column E for differences. So that, my final output should look like below -

I have a large table with data to which I want to retrieve a name to the left of a certain cell.
Clear as mud so far!
I've put together a small example of what I'm after. In cell F9 is the MAX of cells F2:F7. In cell H3 I then want a formula that will find the MAX of F2:F7 and return the text five rows to the left of that cell. In this example it would be Fred.
The second part of this question is how could I get it to display if more than one person had the same total....

I'm using the vlookup function to pull numbers off an array. Is there a way that I can get the vlookup function to pick the smallest number greater than or equal to my Look_up value. If not is there a function that can do that?

I want to get value from reference one column and return value by corresponding row from another column. This can be done by vlookup column. But it find value from 1st column and return value from given relative column. That mean find from Left column and return value from right side given column number.
But I want find from Given column number and return value from given left column. For Further detail see the Attached file.

I am trying to write a formula to reverse data in a cell. Basically I am converting a number to hex then I want to take that hex string and reverse it. So it would be something like this my original number is 400001001 my hex number would be 17D787E9 because I am only allowing it to show 8 characters. I want to reverse the 17D787E9 to read 9E787D71.
My question is: How can I reverse that cell? I have searched google and this forum and can't seem to figure it out. I am sure I could do it in VB but I don't know any VB code.

I've written a list and I want it the other way around. Top at the bottom, bottom at the top.
There's no sortable column in it. If it gets sorted it'll be out of order. I just want the same order but reverse the whole thing.
I've looked around a lot and failed to find it so far.
I've got to do is add a column at the side, number it in order then sort on that column, remove it later, right?

I need a formula that would search a string in a cell for spaces starting from the right. similar to MID but with the start and end pos reversed.
eg. col A below stores the text. col B to D is where i need to write the formulaes and drop down for the number of rows in A (in this case 3)
A
33 444 555
444 55 666
666 777 98 88
here is what the result in cols B C and D should be after the formula and drop down:
B
555
666
88..................

I'm fairly proficient in Excel, but this one has me stumped (I have attached a spreadsheet to show what I'm talking about): For example, take these two rows of data:
55 , 105 , 101
4 , 3 , 1
The first row represents the production level in years 1, 2, and 3 of production of the life of a unit. The second row represents the number of units added in a particular year. So, if you are in the third year, the one unit added that year will produce 55 widgets, the three units added the previous year will each produce 105 widgets, and the four units added two years ago will each produce 101 widgets.
So: 1*55 + 3*105 + 4*101. The result for this formula would go underneath the "1" (ie its the total production in year 3, from all those units added in years 1-3).
Then when we roll through to the fourth year, where 2 units are added (and where we have the extra info that in the fourth year of production, a unit produces 50 widgets) it looks like this:
55 , 105 , 101, 50
4 , 3 , 1, 2
2*55 + 1*105 + 3*101 + 4*50.
The result for this formula would go underneath the "2" (ie its the total production in year 4, from all those units added in years 1-4). I need to produce a single formula which I can drag across the row. Without having a single formula, I need to copy the formula across to the cell to the right (with "$" in the right places), then add a new element to it. Seems very inefficient (take a look at my attachment)

i have to reverse a very big wordlist containing four coulmns. Column A words, Column B Transcription, Column C Grammar and Column D Meanings. Now i would like to make the meanigs (seperator is ";") to words and words to meaning in another new worksheet added by a macro. For example English-French would then become French-English wordlist.
If the original worksheets name is "x" then a new worksheet should be added with name "Re-x". This new sheet should then contain the new wordlist. For example:

I know how to do two-way lookup with the INDEX and MATCH functions (example, =INDEX(B2:H11,MATCH(A6,A2:A11,0),MATCH(E1,B1:H1,0)) to lookup a value in a table given a value in the row range and a value in the column range. I also know how to use the space intersector to do a two-way lookup (example, =A6:H6 E1:E11).
My question is, is it possible to do the reverse. Instead of finding the row and column positional and then returning the value at the intersection of the two, is it possible to have the value at the intersection and then find the two values in the row and column positions? So this would mean somehow returning two values in two cells.

I need to reverse concatenate a column of addresses, but text to columns won't work. I'd like to have a formula that takes into account each of the following scenarios (basically any standard address you can think of):
102 Bart St
104 Homer Simpson Ave
106 US HWY BSN 805 W
108 N Springfield Rd
What I need is to have the result in four columns. The first field would the house number. The second column would be the prefix (direction) of the street name, IF PRESENT (so the first three examples would have no value in the second column, but the fourth one would have an "N". The FOURTH column would have the suffix, whether that is a street type (like Rd or Ave), or a post-directional like in the third example ("W"). The THIRD column would have everything else (whatever is between the prefix and the suffix). In other words, using the examples above (* indicating a new column):
102**Bart*St
104**Homer Simpson*Ave
106**US HWY BSN 805*W
108*N*Springfield*Rd

so that they are in 5 separate cells on a row. just to make things harder no name in the first colum has the same number of forenames or the same number of digits.there are possibly 600+ of these lines of which the next one is below

I am trying to find a way to use the match function to return the last matching value in an unsorted row. For example if I have (with each individual number representing a new column):
A: 4 5 4 3 6 7 5 4 5 0 2 6 3
B: 5
I would like to get a formula similar to this one =match(B1,A1:13,FALSE) to return 9 instead of 2 like it does now.

I dont know if that is the correct title to use but here goes. I am trying to help my friend with some work that he is struggling with.
We have a model where we can change the % of the Service Level in field E8 and it will tell us the number of people required within field E17. Is their a way we can reverse this by creating another spreadsheet where we could put in the number of people we have for it to tell us the service level that would reach?

I have a list of search words in column A and in column B is the products that address that particular search word and the products are separated by a comma in column B. Each product is listed multiple times under various search words.
What I am hoping to do is reverse this so that the product is listed in column A and the related search words are listed under that product in column B.
