Using VLookup On Wild Card Data

Dec 6, 2011

Suppose the data is:

beaut* 1
abc* 2

and I use the command:

Vlookup("beautiful", A1:B2, 2, false)

I want this formula to return 1. I have done it before, the other way around when the wildcard is used in the formula but not in data.

Vlookup Using Wild Card In Table Array?

Feb 3, 2014

I have a workbook containing 2 sheets. In the first sheet I have a list of values, let's say that the list contains names:

Worksheet1
Column A
Peter
Paul

In another worksheet I have another column, also containing names:

Worksheet2
Column A
James Harrow
Paul Givens

I wish to perform a vlookup in worksheet2 but cannot use wildcards in the table array :

Vlookup ("*"&ColumnA&"*";Table1[Table or table and column];1;false). What I want should look like the following: ("*"&ColumnA&"*";"*"&Table1[Table or table and column]&"*";1;false)

In this problem, it is not appropriate to query back to front; i.e. vlookup worksheet1 instead of vlookup in worksheet 2.

I have seen an interesting post that uses macros (on this site, I think) but was not able to implement it.

COUNTIFS Using Date As Criteria With Wild Card

Mar 31, 2014

I'm trying to use the COUNTIFS function & have run into trouble because the 2nd criteria is a date. Typically I would just set the range & then put "01/01/2014" if I was looking for all of the January 1, 2014 cells. However in this spreadsheet my source data contains the date with the time. (01/01/2014 11:27:39 AM). Becasue the time is included in the cell, the function returns no results when I set teh date.

I tried to use a wild card "01/01/2014*" which I thought would bypass the time but it still retuns no results. Is there a way to use a windcard with a date cell?

Wild Card Character Used In Array Formula

Jun 26, 2013

The usage of the wild card character is not getting me the results I need for a formula I am using at work. When the wild card asterisk character is removed, I get the correct result but only for an exact match of the particular text. I need it to match the "Particular Text plus another text. The Text is CBKC. Then there is also CBKC 5400 and so on. I need to have the wild card expression character before and after the CBKC characters. The formula is below that I used.

=sum(--k2:k500),--(c2:c500=" Y"),--(D2:D500=" Permit"),--(s2:s500="*CBKC*))

Excel doesn't like the way I am expressing the wild card inside the double quotes......the column getting added if the matches are found is column K. The other columns have to meet the criteria in the formula.

Time Card Data Spreadsheet

Jul 16, 2007

How do I format a spreadsheet set up as a time card entry log so that I can enter 0543 and it appears as 05:43 AM and/or enter 1653 and it appears as 4:53 PM.

I have it formatted right now to show that data but I have to enter it as 05:43 and it appears as 5:43 AM which is what I want and the in/out times calculate with an end result of hours worked.

I want to do it without having to enter the colon.

Using Wild Cards With Conditional Formatting

Aug 24, 2013

I would like to format columns "L" and "M", if the value in column "O" contains the letters "EU" or "US". The values in column "O" will look like EU 3 & 2, or US 1 up. or just text with no numbers. I was thinking if I could write a formula that will say 'if the value in cell ?? contains "EU" format color A if the value contains "US" format color B. I know this will take two separate statements but I am not sure how to write it with a wild card to allow for the variations. Something like If value is EU and some wild card string then, format.

UserForm Combobox Wild Search Filter Based On First Letter Entry

Jun 18, 2014

I am looking to modify my combobox from a userform to Filter the list based on the first entry on what the user will add.

I have a code that will search for all entries in my "Control" sheet and passed this on to my combobox:

[Code] ......

I have, within a module, the following function code that the user find the entry by adding the first 3 letters of the search they need:

[Code] .....

I would like to know what to change in the function to filter the list, once the user adds a first letter and then press the dropdown from the combobox, to filter the list based on all entries from the first letter to only show entries with that letter.

If A is entered, then, show only the entries strating with the starting letter A, but at the same time if the user adds more letter to filter to the first then second letter:

If AB is inserted, then, show entries with AB only.

Where do I add this code also, is this another function or this could be inserted within my function?

Loans to countries

Loans to banks

Credit Card Numbers - Validation / Checksum

Mar 19, 2008

I have a userform capturing Credit Card Numbers for Visa, Master, Amex and Diners as part of a payment tracking system and would like to check that the entered Card Number is valid before processing the payment through a third-party website to minimize to number of error / invalid card messages.

I suspect there is some kind of checksum built into the cardnr. Any tips on how to check for the validity would be appreciated, including links to relevant sites.

this question is related to an earlier question of mine: [url]

Formula To Validate Invoiced Rates Against A Rate Card?

Mar 23, 2014

We have agreed maximum rates with suppliers for certain services and I'd like to check that the rates they have invoiced fall below the agreed maximum.

I've attached an example of the data I'm working with. What I'm after is a formula that will cross check the details and rate charged on the 'Invoiced' tab against the three 'rate card' tabs and generate an output that flags any discrepancies. I've added a column called 'Validate' on the 'Invoiced' tab where I'd like this formula to go.

All the data should match with the exception of the shift which is listed as a description on the rate card but is a concatenation of the job role and an abbreviation of the shift (D = Days, N = Nights/ Saturday and O = Sunday/ Bank Hols).

Filter Out Letters Put In After A Number In A Time Card Spreadsheet

Jan 14, 2009

I have the need to filter out letters put in after a number in a time card spreadsheet. I'm not sure that using a select case is the right approach. I need to allow the user to put in a number and a letter signifying what type of time it is. Each cell equals a date on a calendar. For example if the user puts in 8s then the code will add 8 hours to the total sick time, strip out the s and just leave 8 in the cell. The problem is that I need to deal with all of the other letters/symbols that they can enter. From what I know of VBA which isn't much a Select Case seems to be way to go without using a bunch of nested If statements. Here is what I would like to do but this doesn't work. This is a short example of what I have tried as far as Select Case goes.
