i am currently using the following array formula to search a range for a value and return its self refrence however i need to modify it as at present it will only return exact matches i need it to be able to search a string find a value and return the cell refrence
View 4 RepliesI need to export this to Xcelsius which doesn't support any macros/vba. Btw I can;'t use Row() in xcelsius too.

Assume that I have in Sheet2 a list of CUSTOMIZED name.
[Code].....
Now in Sheet1, I have data in column A that has strings consist of the customized name.
For example
[Code] .....
What function should I use that could give me the result of the CUSTOMIZED name?
I was thinking of a formula i.e.
[Code] ......
Obviously, the above formula give me error. Even if it works, it'll not give me the customized name ...
I have a two dimensional array that I need to search, and copy a value to the sheet I am using.
Example Array
code1 name1
code2 name1
code3 name4
Sheet
ColumnA ColumnB
code2
code4
code1
code3
I need to fill in columnB with the corresponding name, leaving it blank if the code does not exisit in the array.
What I have attempted (unsuccessfully) so far is below. I keep getting an Error at the If DataArray(y, 0) = majorcode line.
Dim datatotalrows As Integer
Dim listtotalrows As Integer
Dim majorcode As String
Dim clientname As String
Dim y As Integer 'variable for array
Dim x As Integer 'variable for data
datatotalrows = Range("A1"). CurrentRegion.Rows.Count
Is there a way to find the last matching row in an array? For example, I can find the first matching row in an array by using the MATCH function. Is there a way to search through the array backwards?
Ex.
OrderID
10567
10569
10571
10573
10571
If I use =MATCH(10572, A2:A6,1), I will get the result "3". How can I get the result "5" (to tell me the row number of the last match)?
A more accurate example of what I am trying to do would be:
OrderID
1
1
1
3
3
3
If I feed the number 2 in as my search value, I want to know the range of rows where the OrderID is less than or equal to 2. In the case above, it would be rows (assuming "OrderID" is in row 1) 2 through 4. I can get "2" back by using =MATCH(2,A2:A7,1), but I don't know how to get "4".
Hi again, I am trying to find the easiest way to repeatedly search a large matrix (300,400) for a particular value. I have used two for loops in the past but its starting to get complicated now. Is there a workaround using application.worksheets.something that I could get a true of false reply? Someone may suggest that I create a function that replys back. I am new to VB and I am not sure how to send a matrix of integers to a function (syntax).
View 8 Replies View RelatedSay I have 3 columns of data: A1:C10 and I want to run a Match() function on them all together to see if I get a match any one those cells, say the value of have in X1.
Since, Match only allows a One-Column lookup array.. is there a way to "concatenate" or "append" the 3 columns together within a formula so now I would be looking to Match in an array that is 1 column * 30 rows?
Basically want to convert =Match(X1,A1:C10,0) to =Match(X1,A1:A30,0) without moving around the raw data in the sheet.
And I want to avoid doing an AND or OR formula that uses 3 separate MATCH() for each column.
I have a hunch that the MMULT or MMULT/TRANSPOSE functions are involved, but can't seem to get it right.
I have a formula which I took from another post to return a particular value in a specified cell as follows;
=INDEX(A1:E9,M3+MIN(IF(A1:E9=K3,ROW(A1:E9)-3)),N3+MIN(IF(A1:E9=K3,COLUMN(A1:E9)-1)))
However I don't understand what the -3 and -1 does and I believe it is these entries that are causing the error.

I looked for a way to represent my data in a cleaner way than this but couldn't find any tools....a point in the right direction would be helpful. I guess the old plug-in that converted Excel->HTML isn't available?
Column A is a finished product and B-D are the ingredients to make it however values in Column A are also ingredients (sometimes multiple times). I want a formula that searches for values in Column A within the table B1:D5 and returns an array, if possible, of the finished products where Column A was used.
For example, searching for Sugar would return "Flour, Water". Searching for Water would return "Milk, Eggs" (I'd rather not have Milk listed twice but beggars can't be choosers).
I wish to search for a substring within an array of strings and just return back an indication that the substring exists withing that array.
so for instance let the substring be "rang"
and let the array be
{"apple","orange","lemon"}.
I wish to put a single command line next to my substring and wish to search through that range and return a key code if it exists. And then I will repeat the same search for other substrings. For the moment being, I don't care too much about the number of occurences or the exact cell address where they occur. All I wish to know is whether they exist in that list or not.
So it looks to me it is like a SEARCH command but except on a range of text (Rather than a single text) with an array formula. I have tried MATCH but my case is not an exact match either.
I need one formula to copy and paste the checkcard data changing it from this "CHECKCARD XXXXXX5623" to "CHECKCARD 5623", but I need one formula to look for multiple known checkcard numbers. I will have more then one typically in the bank download so I need to search and copy at least two known numbers as shown below.
I am providing the formula that I am using right now, "=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("5623",B3)),RIGHT(B3,41),"")" but it only works for one checkcard number? Also I don't really need to capture the DEBIT or CREDIT that will always be at the end, it would be redundant. If it's easier to write the formula including that data that is no problem. What I want to copy and move into an adjacent cell is in red.
Here is the source data:
Row 2 - SONIC DRIVE IN#1531 AUSTIN TXDEBIT FOR CHECKCARD XXXXXX5623 DEBIT
Row 3 - JASON'S DELI # 125 Q64 AUSTIN TXDEBIT FOR CHECKCARD XXXXXX9718 DEBIT
i wish to have a result of the below.
there are random dates in a column say D6:D17 in the format of (10/02/2014), there could only be one date in this column array or there could be several, like:
1/02/2014
12/04/2014
17/06/2014
5/12/2014
i also have an aray below this in cells D19:D30 With the "A" column showing the months Jan to Dec.
i wish to look the array of D6:D17 and populate the below cells corresponding with the months only, see example below. the reason for this is i wish to then turn the cell green with conditional formatting if there is a date in that month fro the original array.
Date10/02/2014
Date10/04/2014
Date10/06/2014
Date10/08/2014
Date10/12/2014

I'm trying to come up with a formula to seach through an array backwards, and tell me where the first negative number is located.
Example
A1
1
B1
1
C1
-1
D1
1
[Code] ..........
If you fill out the cells A1:J1 like so, and enter
=MATCH(TRUE,A2:T2
Here is the table I am working with
Date
Open
High
Low
Close
Volume
Adj Close
Semi-Annual Yield
Theoretical Bond Price
Index
Coupon
Total Value
Peaks
Troughs
[Code] ..........
The Relevant columns would be "Date" column A cell 1, "Total Value" column L cell 1, "Peaks" column M cell 1, and "Troughs" column N cell 1. What I basically want to do, in the next column, column O, is this: If cell N# = "Trough" find the previous M cell = "Peak" and take the L cell in that "Peak" row and subtract the L cell in the Trough row from it (like =(L4-L9)/L4)). Then in column P, if the percentage drop was 5% or greater, I want to find the days between the trough we are looking at, in cell n10, and the NEXT Peak, cell M11, using the corresponding dates in Column A.
Is there anyway to recreate this formula w/o it being an array ?

I'm looking for a formula to search for a value in the SECOND (instead of first) column of a table array and return a value in the same row from FIRST (instead of the same or another) column in the table array. Formula would be searching for the unique production order number in the column B and return production line id from the column A.
A1 production line_id
B1 poduction_order_number
A2 L1
A3 L2
A4 L1
B2 505212
B3 504234
B4 505663
I was trying vlookup(504234;B2:A4;2;0) to make formula go search from right columns to the left but then excel is switching the search table to A2:B4 and gives #N/D!
One remark-there is no possibility to switch these 2 columns to simplify. I have to leave them as they are.
I want to search a data set and return the maximum value based on 3 criteria using (array) formulas.
Say the data set contained the following:
Row 1: column headings (date, name, data 1, data 2, data 3, etc)
Column A: dates
Column B: names
Columns C through G: data
I want to find the maximum value for a given name, in a certain month, and a nominated data column (e.g. data 2). For example:
Month = June
Name = Geoff
Data column = Data 2
Max value = ????
All of the data in the data columns is numeric.
I need to check each of 13,000 job titles to see if they include the string "VP".
For the time being, I want to find the most efficient way to check an individual title, before building an array or SUMPRODUCT function that will check all the titles in swoop.
So... I have tried:
=ISNUMBER(SEARCH(A1,B1))
..but it returns TRUE if A1 and B1 are both blank -- which they can be in my spreadsheet.
And I have tried:
=SIGN(SEARCH(A1,B1))
but it returns #N/A if A1 cannot be found within B1.
If I can, I want to avoid introducing an IF statement because, looking ahead, I am already concerned that this analysis will be complicated enough without multiple paths.
So.. what's the most efficient way to return a TRUE/FALSE, or 1/0, result depending on whether A1 is in B1?
EXTRA-CREDIT!
An extension of the above problem... arrays and SUMPRODUCTs welcome:
What's the most efficient way to return a TRUE/FALSE, or 1/0, result depending on whether (A1 or A2 or A3... or A99) is in B1?
Search Column A for a name (using an array if possible). If it finds this name, add a string of text to the AA cell on the same row that it found the name on.
For example,
If in A1 it finds the specified name. It then adds a string of text to AA1.

the task for the code below is to search through rows in array and check if there's no "text" in it like user inputed in box. But it always shows that there's no such email,i can't figure out the mistake, Maybe the problem is in the type the InputBox returns? But i've tried entering type := 2 (text),dunno what else i can do...I've also tried using p = InputBox("Please,eneter email!").

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an array 20 Rows x 42 Columns, which contains a competition draw.
I need to search this array for a unique value and return whatever the time is in the first column on the same row as the value appears, and enter it into column C in the Womens Times sheet.
I also want to return into column D the court number from row 3.
The reason i want this automated is as teams enter / withdraw we may need to drag the games from court to court to fill gaps, so i want the Womens Times sheet to update accordingly.
I have been messing around with index and match, but cannot quite get it to return what i need.
I have attached an example ... on the sheet "Womens Times" in column A there is a list of game numbers ( #1W etc etc) indicating womens game #1 and so on. The main sheet i am using also has a seperate tab for the mens games, hence the designator of W or M on the end of the game number.
I want to use an array formula to sum about 5 rows each of which has 5 columns, e.g.
1 2 3 4 5 15
2 3 4 5 9 23
5 4 3 2 5 19
9 8 7 6 5 35
7 6 4 2 1 20
The final column is the total for each row. Instead of using =sum(a1:a5) then dragging the formula down thus creating a new formula for each line, I want to use a single array formula to achieve the same result. I have tried =sum($a$1:$a$5:$e$1:$e$5), even though all my instincts said it did not look right. And I was right!
I'm sure it is easy, but I just cannot work out the syntax.

I've tried all kinds of variations but with no success. how do I write an array formula in V.B.A.

The following formula works, but takes far too long for an efficient user to run (note the array):
{=(MAX(IF(($B$4:$B$50000=$B4)*($I$4:$I$50000=$X$1),1*$J$4:$J$50000)))}
B = Number Values (e.g. 3431003)
I = Simple Text Values (e.g. I, P)
J = Dates (e.g. 4/15/2009)
Is there a formula that would provide the same result in a quicker fashion?
Note: Unfortunatly, the data will get up to 50,000 rows.
