Using VLOOKUP To Compare Two Values

Jun 23, 2013

I'm trying to compare two quantities on two different sheets. I've used VLOOKUP in the past on other sheets. This time round I cannot understand how to us it on this query when the data is contained and mixed in one cell.

Here goes explaining..
Sheet1, shows we have stock of Mini Speakers in blue, the 'Main SKU', 'Size' and 'Current Stock'
'Current Stock' is the cell we are trying to compare

Sheet1.PNG

Sheet2 shows the 'SKU', 'Name' and 'Option1'. Option1 contains the values I'm trying to compare... sku":"X-MiniB-S","value":"S","quantity":"1"

Sheet2.jpg

Basically, I need to check that 'Current Stock' matches the value in 'Options1' and return a value if they do not match.

Using VLOOKUP To Compare Values Without Unique ID?

Mar 18, 2013

I have a somewhat convoluted problem. I am trying to develop a QA tool that compares data from a user-created spreadsheet against data from an automated spreadsheet. From my (admittedly small) understanding of Excel, this would be easy to do using VLOOKUP, however there will not be any unique IDs between two columns.

To better visualize this, imagine on Sheet A the following:

Placement Name
Ad Tag
Clickthrough URL

[Code]....

Essentially what I am trying to do compare data from a manually filled in sheet against data that would output the above, and make sure that everything matches up correctly. .

Double VLOOKUP: Compare TWO Values In TWO Cells

Sep 25, 2008

I'm curious if there's a way to use the Vlookup function to compare TWO values in TWO cells with two values in two OTHER cells (same row though) and return one value from another column. Something like

Vlookup(A2 & C2, Sheet2!A1:C400, 3, FALSE & FALSE)....? Does that make sense?

Say the values in A2 and C2 are in A24 and B24 respectively in Sheet2. Can it return C24 for me?

Vlookup - Compare Two Columns

Oct 26, 2009

I need a Vlookup to look at two columns when searching. here is an example:

Sheet 1 is my report grid to hand out to the employees, A1 has a drop-down list with my employees names and A2 one for the month, when you click an employee name the vlookup formula fills in the information from sheet 2 (data sheet).

Sheet 2 has data like: Col 1= Month, col 2=employee L-name, col 3= production etc...

currently the vlookup formula messes up because the employee name is in there multiple times because of the months column, i have to delete all months except the one i need. formula is: =vlookup(A1,'sheet2'!,B:C,2,false)

this formula will pull the data in sheet two column 3 (production) for the employee that matches.

how can i make it compare first to col 1 (month) and then col 2 (employee).

Using VLookup To Compare 2 Columns Of Data

Oct 26, 2012

I'm having difficulties using vlookup to compare two columns of TEXT data. My goal is find out how many of items in the "Eligible Serial Numbers" list have been ordered for destruction. The items listed for destruction are listed in the "Serial Numbers (destroyed).

Whenever I put in a VLOOKUP, I get a serial number that doesn't make sense to me. For example, if I want to find out if "362351581" from the Eligible List appears on the destroyed list. What do you suggest?

Code:

Destroyed? (i.e. Vlookup formula in this column)
Eligible Serial Numbers
Serial Numbers (destroyed)
362351581
362351581

[Code]....

Compare Values Based On Multiple Reference Values?

Sep 25, 2013

In sheet1, I have the borrowers and outstanding per employee. In the Area Avg sheet, I have the average borrowers and outstanding in each area as this is the standard for comparison (I got this through the subtotal function).

Now what I have to do is in sheet1, format(change the color) each cell under borrowers which is greater than the average of the relevant area. Since, (in my actual data) the name of the area may be duplicate in different regions, the reference value (average borrowers of the area) from "Area Avg" sheet has to be traced through multiple criteria which are: Division, Region and Area. The same also has to be done for outstanding but the solution can be provided for borrowers only.

Compare Two Very Large Files - Vlookup Is Not Working?

Jul 24, 2014

I'm trying to compare two very large files to find some that are in one AND also in the other. I'm using =VLOOKUP(C2,Parts2!C:D,1,FALSE) and my results are #N/A for all of them. I have formatted both columns as 'General' because there can be letters and numbers in the serial number, I have also tried formatting as text to no avail. I have confirmed no preceding or trailing spaces or other special characters.

I am however, able to locate values in both documents using Ctrl F. I'm totally puzzled because I've always been able to figure out what's causing my Vlookup issues when I have them but this time I'm not able to.

Compare The Time Values

Dec 7, 2009

Excel seems to be miscalculating some formulas and I was hoping someone might have seen this before:

I'm attempting to do math on two cells and return the result in a third cell

Jx = time typed manually
AAx = time that is the result of a lookup function from data in a different worksheet
ABx = the result

Here is the formula that I am putting in ABx: =IF(ISERROR(AA39-J39),"",IF(AA39>=J39,(HOUR(AA39-J39)*60+MINUTE(AA39-J39)),-(HOUR(J39-AA39)*60+MINUTE(J39-AA39))))

J39 contains the time 18:31
and AA39 contains the time 18:30.

When the formula evaluates, the error #NUM is returned. Here are the calculation steps:

IF(FALSE,#N/A,IF(TRUE,HOUR(-.00069444444431)*60........)))

What is happening is excel is evaluating the If(AA39>=J39) as true, even when J39 contains 18:31 and AA39 contains 18:30.

etc...

and the named range similar to this:

AAC
AAF
AAM
AAR
AAX

I know how to open and import the data, it's just making the comparisons that I'm having trouble with at the moment .

VBA Compare 2 Cell Values

Mar 14, 2013

I have a spreadsheet and everyday it would change in length.

But I would like a macro that compares the value of each cell in column B against the value in corresponding cell in column D then moves to the next roll - so eg B2 against D2,B3 against D3......B50 against D50 until all rows are compared.

And when it finds a different makes the background colours go red !

I have a bit of a code but I think I need to loop to compare all populated cells !

Compare Values From Two Different Sheets

Sep 28, 2007

If the record exists in both sheets then compare the value in col. H for both records, if the value is different then copy the entire record to a third sheet.

There are 16,000 rows of data to do comparisons.
I have been thinking about a Vlookup method as one choice, my thought is this going to be slow.
I have read about vba having some comparison choices, vbbinary, vbtext, but I do not have any knowledge of this, so cannot intelligently choose what options to begin w/.

Compare Values In Two Of The Columns

Mar 3, 2008

I have a worksheet where I want to compare values in two of the columns.
In column B there are EAN codes consisting of 13 digits.
In column E there are 5-digit numbers.

What I want to do is to compare the 5 digit number with the EAN code where these digits should be in position 7-12 in the EAN code. Those numbers in column E that doesn't have a match in column B should be marked (for example that the background color of that cell is set to "red").

Example:
B E
XXXXXX12345X 12345 (match - do nothing)
XXXXXX12346X 12346 (match - do nothing)
XXXXXX12348X 12347 (no match - set background color to red)
XXXXXX12349X 12348 (match - do nothing)
XXXXXX12350X 12349 (match - do nothing)
XXXXXX12351X 12352 (no match - set background color to red)

There are more values in column E than B.

In all there are close to 4500 rows so I really could use a nifty macro to do this job.

Compare Values With Tolerance

Jul 25, 2007

I am trying to replicate a method , it reads: 'any data point that changes by more than or less than 10% from the previous value, and does not remain at the new level for more than 6 days, should be removed.'

Thats a bit vague. The process is going to involve if statements, etc. I've attached an excel spreadsheet with some solutions I've tried. Neither of which work. The aim is to get the same answers as the highlighted column. Columns B and C replicate the method answer, but do not state the process. The letters L represent values less than 25. Its the letters D I'm trying to eradicate.

I can get the calendars generated, but can't seem to be able to get it to compare the values of each date to the list of holidays.
