Search An Array Backwards?
Nov 2, 2009
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".

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

[Code] ..........
If you fill out the cells A1:J1 like so, and enter
=MATCH(TRUE,A2:T2

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

I am trying to find a way to use lookup or any other formula to return the results of the first value bottom up.
Ex.
My data is an org codes. So, if the object code is (3), I want excel to give me the org code of the first (2) starting from the selected cell going up.
1 120000
2 120001
3 120002
3 120003
3 120004
2 120005
3 120006
3 120007
So, 3 120006 should return the value of 2 120005 not 2 120001.
I've tried lookup, vlookup, index, match, nothing worked so far or I night not used it right !

I have a range of data that looks like this:
A B C D E
1 No.Week 1Week 2Week 3Week 4 Result
2 4305 N Y N N 3
3 4319 N Y N Y 1
4 4320 Y N Y N 2
5 4321 N N N Y 1
6 4327 N N N N 4
7 4339 Y N Y N 2
I need to know fore each number the number of weeks since there last was a Y.
Eg. Results for:
No. 4305 the answer would be 3 weeks.
No. 4319 the answer would be 1 weeks.
No. 4320 the answer would be 2 weeks.
how to do this via formulas or even vba? The number of weeks would be around 52 weeks worth..

I have built a patient satifaction workbook that tracks patient response to question. I have been able to build it to look a month and year. I want to able to trend over three months, six months, or a year. The user selects the month and year from drop downs they want to look at. I was thinking to do the same to select how far to go back six months to year. My question is can I get excel to find each month backwards and recognize a year chage.
What I have done
HTML =TEXT(DATE(R1,IF(MONTH(Q3)-1>0,MONTH(Q3)-1,12),1),"MMMM")
To make a header
HTML =MONTH(W2&0)
turn the month into number
HTML =DATE(R1,W3,1)
to make a month format
I did this down line backwards until I ran into Jan to December the year did not change
So I am stuck so I turn to you all for assistance

I need the Lookup/match functions. In this case, I need to put 1's or -1's in the " Step Changes" column. A 1 or -1 should appear on the condition that the price has gone up or down by .15 since the last 1 or -1. From reading some things on here, it also appears that Lookup/VLookup has problems with unordered columns (and unfortunately, the prices should not be ordered in size here). What I had been trying was: =IF(B27>(VLOOKUP("TRUE",$C$3:$D26,2))+0.15,"1",IF(B27<VLOOKUP("TRUE",$C$3:$D26,2)-0.15,-1,""))
The last column (which I would hide) simply says if there's a number in the 3rd column:=ISNUMBER(C4). I need a way to make sure the lookup is searching ascending, so it doesn't find the first 1. If anyone knows a way to use the Match/Lookup/etc. functions to do this

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).

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.
See attached file : TEST.xlsx

3333FlourSugarDirt
4444EggsWaterFlourSugar
5555WaterMilkDirt
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 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 have a sheet with Names in it. I need to look those names up and find which org they belong to. The problem is the the names have many characters after them, and many names belong to a few orgs, with a the rest belonging to many orgs. (See below)
I have been trying to get a Vlookup to work, but since it can't go left, it won't look up the orgs that don't own at least three names. And I can't get the search to work on the names.
Names:
WSGHG1-8410YFH
WSSMXG-8401B8T
NBSMXG-0310V6R

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.

First off, I hope one of you will end my suffering . I have been googling this thing every which way and haven't found my answer to what seems like a simple question.
What formula will find the last cell with data in a column (in say column 'B') and average backwards 30 data points? The last cell changes constantly, but I need the last 30 averaged consistently.

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'm trying to create a userform to act as a walk-through for a process. I've settled on using a multipage to conserve the required screen real-estate, and break the process into natural 'stages'. I've happily got these stages fixed into the userform's pages, with a couple of command buttons running events OnClick - but cannot figure how to get the spinbutton to navigate between the pages.

we would use a byte data type as a counter in a For Loop, but just today I have been having trouble with this. When I try to count backwards with " Step -1" I get an "error 6: overflow" on the FOR LOOP line. When I count forwards it works fine.

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!").

I am looping through each cell in a range and I would like to loop in reverse order.
Dim CELL As range
Dim TotalRows As Long
TotalRows = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
For Each CELL In Range("C1", "C" & TotalRows)
CELL.Select
'Code here to delete a row based on criteria
Next
I have tried:
For Each CELL In Range("C" & TotalRows, "C1")
and it does not make a difference. I need to loop in reverse order since what I am doing in the loop is deleting a row. I am looking at a cell and determining its value. If the value is so much, then the row gets deleted. The problem is that the next row "moves up" one row (taking the pervious cell's address) and therefore the For Each Next loop thinks it has already looked at that row.
