I am trying to search a sheet for a given name and return the total point for that marking period. The main problem i am having is that the names aren't in the same cell on each sheet. It is a list of students and each sheet represents a marking period.
I have attached the file
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
If I have a 'key' value in a cell in one sheet, i want to use that value to find the cell in another sheet containing the 'key' and return the row number of the cell, if more than one value then I would like to be able to loop through all the rows containing that 'key' value returning the row number of each hit, kind of a programmatic version of vlookup?
I need a formula that will search for the value of C1, Sheet1 in Sheet2 then if found, return a value from that row in column D? If not found then return a message "search emails".
I can upload a dummy if that's possible?
Want to look in one column and find the first non-blank numerical value, then have it return a value from another column.
Used to nest multiple IF functions together from different cells, but it seems overly complicated and time consuming. Sometimes I have over 30 cells to check.
For example, if Column A contains weekly sales data by week, entered weekly, and Column E has corresponding comparison data from the previous year. I want to enter a formula to check the first row that has sales data entered and have it match up the comparison value in the other column.
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
[Code]....
So right now I have a spreadsheet that looks something like this:
A
B
C
D
[Code]....
As you can see, the stock names are slightly different in columns A & C (CORP. vs CORP, CO vs CO., etc). I need a formula in column D that searches column A for the first word in column C, and then retrieves the contents of that cell. I want to do this because I will then use a vlookup in column E to get the ticker for the stock.
Right now I have: =IF(ISERROR(SEARCH(LEFT(C1,FIND(" ",C1)),A:A,1)),A:A,"")
This formula searches column A for EXXON, but does not return the contents of the cell. Instead, it returns the contents of a different cell in the column.
I need to lookup to search a range on a different sheet and return the appropriate corresponding cell.
Basically its if a1 is found in the other sheets range a1:a100 then return the corresponding Bcolumn value from the different sheet.
Formula
=VLOOKUP(A2,'All Users'!A$2:A$100,'All Users'!B!2:B!100)
Example of 'All Users' Sheet
A B

I have a phone list and I am trying to add a search box to it that when you type in the Employee name, it will return the value of the cell adjacent to the search result so the extension can show up.
I am a VBA Novice, but I have found plenty of code for the searching aspect of it. I am having trouble figuring out how to have the search occur and then return a different value then what was originally searched for.
Ideally I would like the msg box to show both the employee's full name and extension.
to search for specific text in a cell but not just one word or letter, in fact it could be many. I need to first verify that the exact texts exist in a table and then match the various text instances with corresponding data in that table.
At the moment, this works to search for one type of text and verify it's exsistence in the able and indeed return the corresponding value, but i need it to do it for all verified texts
=(INDEX(A2:A4,MATCH( LOOKUP(9.99999999999999E+307,SEARCH(" "&$B$2:$B$6&" "," "&D2&" "),$B$2:$B$6),B2:B4,0),1))

I am trying to write a formula that will return a statement if a certain month is contained in the text within another cell. Formula is =IF(ISERROR(SEARCH("Dec",Assumptions!B2)),"Ensure Journal is Non Reversing","")
Cell B2 contains a date in the format of Dec 08, so if this date contains Dec, then return "Ensure Journal is Non Reversing", if it doesn't then leave the cell blank.
At the moment it is putting in the first test for every month I select and not changing to blank.
I have a spreadsheet with 1,000 rows of data.
Each Cell in Column A has a different long text string.
I need to see which (if any) of 10 specific small text strings exist within each long text string. Depending on which small text string is found I want to return a 3 digit code. If no small text string is found I want to return "Not Found"
E.g.:
- Cell A2 contains "randomtext,randomtext,APPLE,randomntext"
- I want to see if Cell A2 contains any of the words APPLE, ORANGE, CARROT.
- I want to return "APP", "ORG", "CAR" or "Not Found"
Q: What is the most elegant way to accomplish this within a single formula that I could paste into each cell in Column B?
In the attached file, I am trying to lookup what vendor is assigned to a part, and enter the vendor number in column J, K or L, depending on the number that is assigned.
For example, the top part number, RAD001, has a 2 in column N, indicating vendor # 015354 is the Alternate vendor # 1. It has a 1 in column V, indicating 034180 is the Primary Vendor, and it has a 3 in column Z, to indicate that 015229 is the Alternate Vendor # 2.
What formula would I need to put in cell J2 so that if a 1 is found in row 2 it will return the value 1 position left of where the 1 is found? I will then put a similar formula in columns K and L to return the vendor number if a 2 or a 3 is found.
The end result will be that for each part number you will be able to see what vendor is primary, alternat 1 and alternate 2. I want to make this a formula because the actual sheet will be thousands of part numbers long, and I will need it to update the vendor information if the primary vendor is changed.
I'm attaching a spreadsheet in order for you to understand my question, and I will explain it based on that, ok? I apologize in advance for english mistakes, since it's not my 1st language. I want to search the salary value in column B and, in Column C, I need the job title to be posted based on what is written in Column J.
The table h2:i8 contains the maximum salary a person on that position can earn. So when you look the salary on column B, it should seach in column H and compare to the maximum value, and return the description on Column I that corresponds to that salary range. So if somebody earns 6500, it should be qualified as a supervisor, because its salary maximum is 7100. I have searched the forum here and found similar problems, with suggestions to use vlooup and Index. But I just can not figure it out.
I have a sheet named formula the column highlighted in orange will be used in searching to the other sheet which is the table, I try to used the formula VLOOKUP but it didnt work.

this is basics, i will be using this to search col-a, determine what number is in the column, then print the number found in col b, on another page in a specific place, on the other page i have squares labeled 1-50. in a grid pattern, 10 squares per row. im trying to get all the entries in col-a, that are a 1, to put whatever value is in col-b in the first box of the grid, whatever is found in col-a with a 2, the value found n col-b of that row, into the grid box labeled 2 etc......
I am trying to search a range for all of the nonblank cells, when I find one, return the column header and the value in that column. Vlookup won't work on this. It will only return a specified column.

I'm using a Textbox macro to search my database for a specific date, and return the company name of all entrys for that date, into a ListBox.
Now this is the only way I'm prepared to look at doing, and I have managed to do it...... partially - as stupid as it sounds, I cant get multiple results to list in the ListBox itself, and for the life in me I cant find out how to do it.
Also, once the options have been brought back into the ListBox, I then need code which will then populate further locked TextBox's which the rest of the company info, when selected from the ListBox.
I know its asking alot (or maybe not) but I believe, (unless ive done it a really awkward way, I'm not too far away, I just dont know the code to enter, to be able to do it.
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim Nullstring
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
If TextBox1.Value = "" Or Nullstring Then
MsgBox "Please enter a date to search for"

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'm trying to create a spreadsheet using several others in several different formats. What i need to do is search for a text string eg "EVP" in one column and return the numerical value of the cell in the column next to it - then sum all the values and create a table in the new sheet eg.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to search within cells A4:F25 for "B71 - Brown" and show the number that is in the cell below this text. If there is multiple cells with "B71 - Brown" I would like the cell to show the total.
So for example,If the formula was looking for "B71 - Brown" in the cell it would show 8136. (A13+A21+D25+E17). If i changed it to "Lavender" it would show 2380. (C5)
Also this data is linked from several other sheets and the values i search for will change and will need to update.
