Using VLOOKUP To Retrieve Multiple Data For The Lookup Value
Jan 8, 2010
I have to write some VLOOKUP formulas to pull several items from a report, the problem is there could be multiple items for each lookup value as the example below:
Company Data ABC Monday ABC Friday ABC Thursday DEF Friday GHI Monday
I need to reference every piece of data for every company but using the VLOOKUP formula, I am obviously only able to get the first instance of the lookup value (company ABC)
How to I write the formula to lookup the other data? The practical appliation I am using this for has anywhere from 300 to 400 lookup values.
I would like a formula to lookup a value across worksheets and if found return the worksheet name that coresponds to that value. I do have this formula below but it will not retrive the correct worksheet name if there are duplcates values.
So I tried to use the define names formula method:
Col_B =N(INDIRECT("'"&XWSLST&"'!B"&(2+MOD(S,N)))) N =8 S =ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&(N*ROWS(WSLST))))-1 WSLST =Sheet1!$A$2:$A$3 XWSLST =T(OFFSET(WSLST,INT(S/N),0,1,1))
and modified the formula into this manner: =INDEX(WSLST,MATCH(TRUE,COUNTIF(Col_B,B2=S)>0,0),COUNTIF(B$2:B2,B2))+1
I left a sample workbook below that in column E are the values that I'm expecting.
I need to bring the new pac code NR. from sheet 1 to sheet 2 and when i bring them back only the 1st comes and when i copy past down it comes only the 1st number. I have changed all formats but simply doesn't work.
I have created a workbook consisting of several blocks of similar data. To make updating the data easy I have arranged each block on a seperate sheet. IS there any way to retrieve data from this 3D array using LOOKUP functions based on data from drop down lists? I have tried labelling each block of data on it's own sheet and trying to retrieve the label from a list using VLOOKUP but each time the label is retrieved as a text string and gives an error message when used in another VLOOKUP. I.e. =VLOOKUP(A10,(VLOOKUP(A13,'0'!C21:D31,2,FALSE)),3+(IF(B10="No",3,0))) The interior VLOOKUP is retrieving for example "a" instead of a, when the outer VLOOKUP encounters this it returns an error. Is there any way of fixing this, is it a shortcoming of Excel, is it me or will I ahve to go back to creating one big data array on a single sheet?
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.
I have multiple worksheets to add employee details using a form and create worksheets (copy templateSheet and paste) for each employee using their uniq user id, which works fine. I have 12 worksheets named by month (Jan, Feb, Mar.... Dec). I have only 2 worksheets Jan and Feb for test.
I want data from employee worksheet's (worksheets created by employee user id) to be in 'Jan, Feb... Dec' worksheets to use a criteria (userid, worksheet name) to get monthly holiday booked data from employee worksheet (userid and worksheets name are same) to month name worksheet. I can do it manually (Example: =rahmanm!C3
) for each row and column, but I will also have a function to delete employee name and details. Is there anyway in VBA I can update worksheets (Jan, Feb, Mar... Dec) from employee worksheets (rahmanm, hallD, aldridh.. ).
I have a complicated situation with Excel since I need a formula that can SUM data from the Pull 1 worksheet into the summary Sheet. I attached my sample for your reference because it is a bit complicated therefore I can not explain. It is better if you look at my Summary Sheet, need formula that can retrieve the same information.
I am trying to create an automated receipt for a list of artists. I have given the artist an individual reference so I am doing a VLOOKUP to return description/price value etc but I can only get it to return the initial value and I have approx 10-15 works under each reference. Maybe VLOOKUP is the wrong formula to use.. I have attached the file.
I need to retrieve the name of a worksheet for a product.
Example
Workbook1 contains the Product number in column A, i want to enter a formula in column B that will search column A in all the worksheets in workbook2 for that product number, and retrieve the worksheet name that the product number is in
I have a Skills Matrix sheet consisting of 100 rows with Employee's names and 60 columns of all possible skills.....where an employee has achieved a skill a date appears in the appropriate column .
I want the user to be able to enter a name in another sheet and for the system to show ( on that sheet ) ONLY the column headers and dates of the skills they have achieved beside that name.
I have a large table with data to which I want to retrieve a name to the left of a certain cell. Clear as mud so far!
I've put together a small example of what I'm after. In cell F9 is the MAX of cells F2:F7. In cell H3 I then want a formula that will find the MAX of F2:F7 and return the text five rows to the left of that cell. In this example it would be Fred.
The second part of this question is how could I get it to display if more than one person had the same total....
I have a list of rules on how to group account numbers. An example is below. I have a very long list of full account numbers (no wildcards). There are roughly 75 rules on how to group the over 40,000 accounts. I want to use the vlookup to determine what group each full account number (always 11 characters) would belong to? It seems that the vlookup isn't treating the ?'s as wildcards. I can use the full account number rules with the wildcards in the cell in the sumif function though.
So ultimately I would like to have my list of account numbers like 40000000000 and 40000000001 know that they belong in group 1 based on the rule table below.
I have a lookup table which needs to be able to retrieve data from columns as well as rows and not sure if this is possible.
My data is set up with an ID number, financial year and data across the columns e.g
ID F/Y Apples Pears 9999 2004/5 5 4 9999 2005/6 7 8 9881 2003/4 5 3
My lookup table will have the ID number field which will be manually entered to lookup the information on the data sheet. e.g
ID 9999 FY Apples Pears 2004/5 5 4 2005/6 7 8
I can't work out a way to get excel to only give me the number of apples and pears for that year for that ID number. Not all ID numbers will have the same number of financial years so I may need to use VBA.
Excel offers many ways to use a key to lookup a value (VLookup, Index/Match, DGet, and the rest). What's the fastest way to perform a lookup of a small table of, say, 30 rows of key-value pairs? Theoretically, it would be most efficient to use a branch table (also known as a jump table). See the wikipedia article for branch tables: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branch_table. Does Excel/VBA have a way to create a branch table for such lookups?
I have a table with three columns. I'm building a calendar on a separate worksheet and am looking up the "value" based on a calendar date. So if a date falls within any of the ranges, I'd like to return the value in column C. For example, if the date is 02/07/12, I'd like for the result to be value 1, or if the date is 04/17/12, then I would like the result to be value 3. I've used a nested vlookup, but all that give me is the value when either the start or end dates match, but I can't get a value when the date falls within the range. If the dates were consecutive, I would simply use vlookup/TRUE, but the dates are not consecutive.
I get a report each day with a list of issues. the "group" that works the issue and the "priority". Based on these two factors, i need to do a double lookup (vlookup?) to another tab or file to match the priority and group and see what value should be brought back for each lines results. For example, if group1 had a prority3 issue, the lookup would find the value from the other sheet or file and bring back the value and put it at the end of the row where the formula is.

I'm trying to return the next unique item in the list of partnumbers. The count column indicates that there are that many instances of that part number. I then populate down than many to VLOOKUP the value "count" number of times. The formula I am using to get the MFR code compares the pn to the one above it. If it matches, I want it to return the MFR offset by the one above it for that part number.
Source data: (will alwyas be sorted by part number, then by MFR) Part NumberStock num NAME MFR BDEGHS55555544333RIVET,BLIND53551 BDEGHS55555544333RIVET,BLIND92215 BDEGHS55555544333RIVET,BLIND98996 BDEGHS55555544333RIVET,BLINDC4293
I want to a macro or a function that can search for the value which corresponds to a cell and copy it to another cell. please refer to the attachment for more detail.
Can you use VLOOKUP or a similar formula to lookup and add (or even better average) multiple data from one sheet?. For example the source sheet holds certain codes for each of our agents and I need the total of one particular code for each agent and then eventually work out the average for the day. But as the source sheet can hold 30+ agents it would be a long and tedious job to do seperate Vlookup's (especially as we are backdating the last year!).
I have attached a snapshot of the source data to try to explain what I need better. From that source data I need to get the total/average of all the 101 codes.
I extract data from a system and originally it extracts it in one sheet. I would then use another list on another sheet and see if there is a match from the first sheet.
What problem i am having now is that the extraction from the system comes through in two sheets(because its too large) so my original VLOOKUP statement which was: =IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(A2,cobject1,1,FALSE)),"No","Yes") only works for the one "sheet".
But now I have two sheets which hold the table "cobject" so i have named the first one "cobject1" and second; "cobject2". I figured out a way to do it but i would like the formula that i would need for me to use, for me to check the above match but from the two different "tables".
