Vlookup: Returning Multiple Matches
Jun 22, 2009I am trying to connect a special date and a price to a special name (please see the attached file).
In sheet 1 I have the following:
- In column A I have a set of different names.
- In column B I have a set of different dates.
- In column C I have a set of different prices on bonds that off course refers to the different names at their respective dates.
In rest of the sheets I want an overview of the different bonds, and what their prices are at the exact date. The problem is that if I use the vlookup it is only the first value that will be extracted. How can I get all of the prices corresponding to the different dates to the correct bond. I also want the possibility to update this every day.
Wildcard Searching For Multiple Values And Returning A Result?
May 27, 2014I have been trying to find a formula for this but I have yet to find one that works for me.
Data;
English - United Kingdom, Czech, Spanish
UK - United Kingdom
Swedish
English - US
French
US
France
German
Portuguese
+8000 more various values
I am looking for a formula that can search for multiple values e.g. english, us, uk and united and then return the value "Yes".
I was looking for something that includes wildcard searches or contains so that it is not affected by upper or lower case but combining this with multiple searches was proving difficult.
Returning Data If A Value Matches
Apr 1, 2014I have a reference vertical table which can be up to 30 long (I just put 5 here to keep it simple):
Sheet 1
A
B

[Code].....
And I want to return the data in the B column depending on whether the data matches either of the words in the corresponding A column.
E.g. Sheet 2
C
D
10
laki
The formula in this cell would return B1 because C10 = A1
11
katla
The formula in this cell would return B4 because C11 = A4

Mar 30, 2013Our software extract for our data base sucks and values do not align properly if all entries do not have tge exact same number of fields with data in them.
I have always done the alignment in excel manually. I can find where the data starts to misalign and would like to do this automatically.
There is an id number for each entry (row) that is 6 digits long. How can I search a row for a 6 digit number and return the address of that cell? i can use this address as a starting point and use the offset function to do so alignment from there.
Searching Values And Returning Entire Rows
Oct 3, 2013I have created a worksheet with 7 Tabs. 6 of the tabs are tables of existing parts and their catalog information. The Front Sheet I want to be a place where people can select data via a drop down or typed in, and in turn have that headsheet display the results of the search.
I have the 6 tabs broken down by part type, and figured those can easily enough be the first choice on my worksheet. So by picking that I can direct excel to which tab we want to run the search on, but ater that I'm drawing a blank.
For an example, say I'm looking for a Elbow that has a 6 size on one end. I would like to use the drop down to choose "Elbows" and then like to select/type 6 in the End 1 size box and have Excel show me all the reslts from the Elbow Tab that match that criteria.
Comparing DNA Data And Returning Matches
Aug 5, 2009I have data exported as .txt from an external program in the following format:
Sample Name Marker Allele1 Allele 2 ....Allele n
AAA D8S1358 10 11 XX
AAA D16S539 16 19 XX
and so on.
Each "Sample Name" will have 16 different "Marker"s and upto 10 different "Allele" at each "Marker". There could be upwords of 200 Sample Names on each exported sheet. Is there a simple way to compare all of the data from each "Sample Name" to each other and possibly to another sample set that will always be static but of the sample general makup as this?
Excel 2010 :: Searching For Files By Cell Value And Returning Values
Jun 24, 2014I need a formula (but most likely a VBA macro) that will search through a folder for a file than get data from that file. The files are named in systematic way, but I need the entire formula to work from inputting a mold number in one cell. E.g. I input 6291 in cell A2 the vba macro searches for file “6291 mold.xlsx” and returns a range of numbers as well as pictures in specified cells. Is this possible? If so how?
The closest thing I have found is VBA macro that retrieves a list of media files in a folder, I listed the code below.

Excel 2010 :: Searching A Folder For A Keyword And Returning The Full Path?
Jun 19, 2013My Excel 2010 spreadsheet contains client data like the below:
A
B
C
D
E
What I'm trying to get from this is a personally addressed email with 2 attachments, one will be standard to all recipients and one will be unique and specific to that recipient. The filename of the unique attachment will contain the reference but will have some other stuff in the filename as well on either side that I will not be able to remove.
In terms of the file locations the unique ones will be in subfolders of the folder holding this workbook and the generic one will be in the same folder as the this workbook.This is some adapted code that solved a similar problem (in Excel 2007 though) on a different website.
VB:
Sub Mail_Report()
Dim OutApp As Object
Dim OutMail As Object [code]....
In that case the file started with the "reference" field but in my case it is in the middle and the formats vary depending on the provider, there will only be a maximum of 5 providers but I would like to avoid 5 different macros if at all possible so I need a search function of some sort.

Index IF Match Formula / Returning Room Number That Matches The Hours Used
Mar 21, 2014I am trying to find a formula that populates a room number based on the number of hours used. I have a chart that is by building but multiple rooms within each.
Where I am having trouble is when there are more than one room with the same number of hours used then sometimes the formula populates the wrong room number.
Attached is my example spreadsheet of my chart. Book1.xlsx
I have shown what I need, what I have tried and a blank space to show where I need it to go.
Index Match - Multiple Criteria And Multiple Matches
Dec 2, 2013I would like to extract Bill cost from "rule" sheet and insert it to "data" sheet using index-match functions. My problem are multiple criteria and multiple matches.
The criteria are Column: Cost type, Power, Penalty Category (The logic goes like AND function).
And I want it to extract "Bills" value from "rule" sheet.
There are multiple matches in all columns (Cost type, Power, Penalty Category) which cause wrong extraction.
How do i solve this problem with index-match function?
Searching Multiple Fields
Sep 27, 2009I am fillin out a spread sheed with a num ber of codes. I want to create a excel formula that will look at the entire column and search for each of the codes. If I have forgotten to add one of the codes into the column I need the formula to let me know.
What I was thinking might work is this...
To look for one of the codes I would do this.
=IF(MATCH("FLA",E5:E36,0)>0,TRUE,FALSE)
This works great if the Value is in there. If it is not in there I get #N/A instead of FALSE. Is there a way to get the MATCH to return another value if it is not found in the range?
Is there an easier way to look for multiple values? So far the only solution I have found is like this
=IF(LEFT(Q19,1)="D",7.5,IF(LEFT(Q19,3)="FLB",7.5,0))
For each value I need to look up I add another IF function. I have about 17 different values I need to look for. This makes for a ugly function but it seems to work.
Searching For Multiple Data
May 24, 2006I have been using the VLOOKUP function to search a table of data for a specific value in order to then give me the corresponding data associated with that value. I can do this and it works!!
However, as I am searching for names some people have more than one set of data and the VLOOKUP only finds either the first set of values (if the FALSE command is used for range_lookup) or the last set of values (if the TRUE command is used for range_lookup). I have attached a small example:
How can I get all values to be displayed?
I know that this may have been explained horrendously but I have written and re-written this several times and this is the best I can get!

Feb 7, 2014Certification and Training tracking.xlsx
I want to create a certification only list on a separate tab of training that has been completed where a certification has been issued (as indicated by a "Y" in the "Certification?" column on the training tracking tab) and then populate from some of the fields vs. all of the fields.
What I have now, only pulls the first occurence, not all occurences. I saw that I could have identified the multiple columns that needed to be populated, but it didn't work either, so I'm fine putting a separate vlookup in each column.
Searching For Multiple Text Strings?
Aug 12, 2014I want to search a longer text field for a shorter string that may be within it. However, I want to do this for multiple short strings.
For instance:
PhraseHidden word
Please search the text for the hidden message: Blue
The hidden word, Green, may be at any point
And the word may be different lengths like Yellow
I have a table of the hidden words (Blue, Green, Yellow, Pink)
I know I could use search to find one word, but is there a way to look for multiple words, and return the value of which one it finds? I have many hidden words (and the list is dynamic) so I don't want to just split into multiple searches.

Searching Table When Value Has Multiple Results?
Feb 2, 2014i have a spreadsheet that i use for work which has 1 page that contains all the data for the workbook. on other pages i use this data, and tables, to pull information to those pages or other pages which complete my work in a more timely fashion.
that issue i'm having is when i try to look up specific values within the data page tables and there are multiple values.
i need a way to choose different values rather than the "first" value in the instance of a vlookup which only finds the first value.
in the pictures i have picture 1 (vlookup samples) has a section where i can type in the "office" code and it will auto pull "switch name" and "switch clli" via vloookup.
in picture 2 (switches sample) i have created a table, which is on another page as stated above, but if i try to search for the example "LSGT5" it only returns a switch name value of "LFTYINXFDS0" and there is also a value of "LFYTINXFDS1".
there are many more within the table(for this office code alone) but this is just an example of how i need a way to choose the proper one or somehow have a drop down without having to create a bunch of tables for each office itself.
INDEX With Multiple Criteria And Returning Multiple Rows But Only The Two Most Recent
Jun 10, 2013I have a spreadsheet of prices (raw data), and I need to pull out both the most recent price for each item for a specific customer code for each item, as well as the second most recent price, (essentially the old price), for that customer code for each item.
I have columns for ITEM (code), PTC (Customer Code), PRICE, and EFF (Effective Date). For each item code, there are multiple prices for multiple customers, such as in the linked workbook.
I am currently using the formula, =INDEX(PRICE,MATCH(1,(F2=ITEM)*(G2=PTC),0)) to pull out the last price. This works because the last price is on top based on sorting. What I need is a formula that pulls out the next oldest price for that item/ptc combo. I tried using the SMALL function to no success.

Multiple Matches
Dec 10, 2006I am trying to match data on two different reports. Both reports have month, location and supplier number. I would like to match a quantity on one report to information to another. Here is an example: (A-D are columns in excel)
Report 1:
A B C D
Month Location Supplier # Quantity
Report 2:
A B C D
Month Location Supplier # Quality
I would like to match the quality on the second report to the data in report one. I would have several months of data and want to match on month, location and supplier number. But there could be occurences where a match is unable to be made - for example having report with quantity but no corresponding quality on the other report for the month.
Searching Multiple Worksheets And Retrieving Data
Aug 27, 2009I have two lists. One is a database (Worksheet 2) with a lot of information, and another is the list (worksheet 1) I need to fill up the data for. What I want to do is to search for the names that are in worksheet 1 in worksheet 2, and if there is a match, retrieve the missing data in those rows, and paste it back into worksheet 1. For example:
Worksheet 1: Joe
Tim 23
Matt
Worksheet 2: Alex 45
Joe 23
Mark 47
Tim 44
Matt 24
I basically want it to be able to search for the corresponding name, and then pull the number associated with it.
Searching For Multiple Characters Within Range Of Cells?
Dec 10, 2013The following code works fine to determine if a particular character occurs within the selected range of cells:
Code:
Sub CheckIfCharacterIncluded()
For Each MyCell In Selection
If InStr(MyCell.Formula, "#") Then
MsgBox ("The " & "#" & " character was found in cell: " & MyCell.Address & " at position " & InStr(MyCell.Formula, "#"))
End If
Next
End Sub
However, I would like to extend this functionality to check for multiple characters, using some sort of array that contains all the characters I want to check for e.g. "#","*","£" and so on, without having to repeat the above code for each character for which I need to check.

XL Macro For Searching Column For Multiple Entries
Jul 8, 2014The code I currently have allows me to search for one text entry in the column and then copy and paste all those entries into the next worksheet. There are 5 different text entries I'd like it to look for but can't figure out how to do it. I have a work around by using wildcards, but then I have to write another macro to delete out the ones I don't want.
Where is says "DNA - weapons", I'd also like it to allow for "DNA - paternity" and a couple other options.
Here is my current code:
Sub Copy_To_Another_Sheet_1()
Dim FirstAddress As String
Dim myArr As Variant
Dim Rng As Range
Dim Rcount As Long
Dim I As Long
Dim LastCol As String
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

Searching For Values Based On Multiple Criteria
Jul 20, 2009I have a problem with excel that I have been trying to solve for the past 5 days! I have 2 tables (one with 500 rows, the other with 15000) that contain information about pipes.
The smaller table, Drift List, is to be used as a reference to fill up the bigger table.
Here is how Drift List looks like:
Size NominalWeight WallThickness APIDriftDiameter AlternateDriftDiam.
5.5 14.00 0.244 4.877 7.625
5.8 14.88 0.253 4.915 ----
...
The other table, Pipe Database, Looks like:
Size NominalWeight WallThickness DriftSize DriftType
5.5 14.00 0.244
...
I have to fill up Drift Size using APIDriftDiameter from the first table, BUT if AlternateDriftDiameter is available, I have to use that instead.
DRIFT TYPE column has to indicate either API or Alternate (Depending on which one I have used).
Here are the two files:

But in my workbook, the data is on multiple sheets . How do I adapt this formula to look into 12 sheets?
that data would be returned in order of the date of the pay.
